Magnetic Field Going Crazy/ AGAIN!!!

August 12, 2013 1 comment


The Apparent reversal of solar wind is actually a second solar wind. This is a 2D simulation and wind that is moving away from point of view may actually show up as a reversal. The arrows on simulation indicate wind speed so reversals with long arrows could be very close to a reversal. Since solar wind cannot reverse the only conclusion one can draw is that we are seeing a second wind from a second star.

Forget REAL ID — The Global Smart-ID is coming!

The grand plan for Global ID is to give each person on the planet a way to identify themselves online. One ID number for each person, to signify all that they are. This is the full personal profile containing anything relevant for identification purposes. It means all our private details being managed by a corporation, in the cloud.

If you want to sign up to the online identity ecosystem, you can already do so through Google or Yahoo!, or by registering with the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group (IDESG).[1]

And if you don’t want anything to do with it, it’ll be tough, if not impossible, to get by in the future, because you’ll have to use your global ID to access all government services and healthcare services, to drive a car, and, once cash is gone, to pay for anything. Given the atmosphere of mistrust engendered by the system, and the constant fear of terrorism, over time it’s likely you’d need to ‘validate your identity’ to get Full article here

ndia aircraft carrier: New Delhi launches first home-built carrier

Since the Battle of Midway in World War II, the weapon that has most defined naval power is the aircraft carrier.

By enabling countries to deploy air power far from their own shores, carriers have become the unit by which modern navies are measured. Only a handful of countries have them and can build them, with the majority of such vessels in the hands of the US Navy.

So it’s no small thing that India today launched its first domestically built carrier. With the first-phase launch of what will eventually be named the INS Vikrant, India joins an elite club of countries that have built their own carriers: Only the United States, Russia, France, and Britain have done the same.

The Vikrant weighs in at 37,500 tons, and will carry up to 36 aircraft, reports The Times of India. Though Read more…

Two and a half years after the Fukashima tragedy Japan does not want to admit how serious it is, but it is obvious the drastic environmental implications are to follow, Harvey Wasserman, journalist and advocate for renewable energy, told RT.

RT: Japanese officials have admitted a leak at Fukushima has been happening for two years and is worse than earlier thought. Why did it take so long to evaluate the actual repercussions of the tragedy and take decisive measures to tackle them?

HW: The Japanese authorities have been covering up the true depth of the disaster because they don’t want to embarrass themselves and the global nuclear industry and they are trying Read more…

Astronomers find the oldest known star in the universe

A Digitized Sky Survey image of the Methuselah Star, the oldest known star in our galaxy.Scientists have discovered Methuselah, what is being called and “impossible star,” which appears to be potentially older than the universe.
The Milky Way’s own Methuselah star, formerly knows as HD 140283, seems to be between 14 to 16 billion years old, which is providing a bit of a continuity error in science, since most researches believe the universe to be 13.8 billion years old. However, a team of scientists have worked to try and come up with an explanation for the paradoxical star, accounting several factors such as its distance from us, its brightness and its structure. These scientists have been able to place the star back to approximately 14.5 billion years— still making it older than the universe. But with a margin of error of 800 million years, this can put the star at 13.7 billion years old, possibly making it younger than the universe (but just barely). Discovered over a century ago, the ancient star was found to be moving more than an astonishing 800,000 mph (1.3 million km/h) relative to our own galaxy. Originally born in a dwarf galaxy, which the Milky Way “ate” 12 billion years ago. Now the star, which has become more of a red giant, is a distant 190.1 light-years away in the Libra constellation and continues a long orbit around our galaxy.
