Scientists, engineers and philosophers alike warn us that without a radical shift in our thinking, we are on track to be the last generation of pure humans that the world will know. Within a single generation we will devolve into a hybrid species of synthetic bodies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer chips that limit our ability to think, to love and to adapt to the conditions of the emerging world in a healthy way. In doing so we will also lose our capacity for emotion, empathy, intimacy and forgiveness, the very qualities that we value and cherish in our humanness.
The question that we face is simple: Do we love ourselves enough to preserve the gift of our humanness? Our answer is based upon the way we’ve been taught to think of ourselves.
This day-long event is a compelling journey of self-discovery that will catapult you beyond conventional thinking when it comes to your origins, your limits and, most importantly, the abilities that have been hidden from you for centuries, and the extraordinary potential that awaits as you embrace them.
Together, we will unlock our personal code of emotional intelligence and advanced neural networks that allow us to excel in everyday life, to heal our traumas and thrive in times of uncertainty. Pure Human is designed to heal the false beliefs, fear and limited life programs that keep us locked into the ancient patters of fear and powerlessness.
There are rare moments in time when we make choices that irreversibly change the world, and our lives, forever. Today is one of those moments. ~ Gregg Braden ~

What if a security camera could not only capture video but understand what’s happening — distinguishing between routine activities and potentially dangerous behavior in real time? That’s the future being shaped by researchers at the University of Virginia’s School of Engineering and Applied Science with their latest breakthrough: an AI-driven intelligent video analyzer capable of detecting human actions in video footage with unprecedented precision and intelligence.
The system, called the Semantic and Motion-Aware Spatiotemporal Transformer Network (SMAST), promises a wide range of societal benefits from enhancing surveillance systems and improving public safety to enabling more advanced motion tracking in healthcare and refining how autonomous vehicles navigate through complex environments.

Chinese robotics company Deep Robotics has debuted a new rugged high-speed quadruped robot that can jump, climb and back-flip its way across difficult terrain with ease.
The four-legged Lynx robot is different from its predecessors in that it gets about on all-terrain wheels rather than solid feet, looking like its construction is partially inspired by quad bikes as much as traditional robotic mechanisms. The Deep Robotics video shows the Lynx bot traveling at speed in a woodland setting, navigating its way uphill and downhill at 50 degree inclines, as well as over large obstacles from rocks to low walls. The robot can easily switch from standing on four feet to two feet, even back-flipping and taking sharp turns at speed. Read more here.
A robot, trained for the first time by watching videos of seasoned surgeons, executed the same surgical procedures as skillfully as the human doctors.
The successful use of imitation learning to train surgical robots eliminates the need to program robots with each individual move required during a medical procedure and brings the field of robotic surgery closer to true autonomy, where robots could perform complex surgeries without human help. Read more here.
Engineers from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Engineering and Applied Science have unveiled PanoRadar, an innovative radar-based imaging system designed to equip robots with vision beyond the limitations of traditional cameras and sensors.
PanoRadar enables robots to “see” their surroundings with a level of detail comparable to LiDAR technology but by using radio frequency (RF) waves. This novel approach means robots can operate effectively in conditions where optical sensors would typically fail, such as in low light, fog, or dusty environments. The breakthrough could revolutionize industries relying on robotics, from healthcare and warehouse management to search and rescue missions. Read more here.
RFK: Mr. President, my task force has completed the current phase of their investigation.
TRUMP: And?
RFK: Well, sir, there’s something about the COVID vaccines.
TRUMP: What? I thought we had that straight when you endorsed me.
RFK: Actually, we agreed to disagree then. Anyway, we’ve done a thorough investigation, and it’s definite that the COVID vaccines have killed and wounded an enormous number of people, and the vaccine was never actually designed, in the first place, to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, or death.
When it’s time to declare a fake pandemic based on a virus that doesn’t exist, what do the show runners need? They need a vast network of people who can hype this pandemic to the skies. Right away. Boom.
If these people are all “experts,” who are in lock-step about fake viruses in general and a brand new one specifically, well, you can’t do better than that. It’s perfect. More here.
Elderly people across the globe were assured that getting vaccinated against COVID-19 would safeguard them from death. However, a major new peer-reviewed study has exposed the devastating betrayal: COVID-19 mRNA boosters directly contributed to the deaths of millions of nursing home residents worldwide.
Promised protection, these vulnerable populations instead experienced increased mortality after receiving booster doses, with the very intervention meant to safeguard their lives actually hastening their deaths. Read more here.
The U.S. House of Representatives has issued its report on COVID propaganda from the federal department of Health and Human Services (HHS) throughout the “pandemic,” and the findings are damning.
When all the dust settled, the regime of Joe Biden spent nearly $1 billion – all that money came from U.S. taxpayers, by the way – to propagandize the country into wearing masks and getting jabbed and “boosted” with all of the latest experimental drugs from Operation Warp Speed. Read more here.
Last year, Robert Kennedy Jr warned, “There are 138 companies involved in the manufacture and distribution of the Covid vaccine and they are all military companies – The Pentagon and the NSA directed the entire response to the pandemic.”
Fast forward to 2024, Dutch Health Minister Marie Fleur Agema admitted that COVID-19 was indeed a “military operation” orchestrated by NATO. Fleur Agema said the Dutch pandemic policy in 2021 was “under the direction of National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV) and Defense.”
Mass genocide perpetrated by our own Governments is no longer a “conspiracy,” it’s now “fact.” The news comes after new explosive documents show that Pfizer was well aware of the dangers of its COVID-19 shots but pushed them on the world anyway. Read more here.
Since the onset of widespread COVID-19 vaccination campaigns, there have been concerns about serious cardiovascular adverse events as a result of mass vaccination. This study aimed to estimate excess cardiopulmonary arrest mortality in King County, WA, and investigate any association with COVID-19 vaccination rates.
The study titled, Excess Cardiopulmonary Arrest and Mortality after COVID-19 Vaccination in King County, Washington, was officially published in the Journal of Emergency Medicine: Read more here. (Open Access)
A leading agribusiness executive and Chair of the influential freedom-oriented think tank Living Streams Institute warned that all of Canada’s shrimp and an unspecified amount of swine had been injected with deadly mRNA.
John Graff, a chemist, process engineer, and board director of the National Citizen’s Inquiry, sounded the alarm about where Canada is getting mRNA into its food supply. More here.
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have uncovered vibrant animal life, including giant tubeworms, thriving beneath the subseafloor of deep-sea hydrothermal vents. The discovery challenges our understanding of life on Earth and broadens the possibilities of finding life in other seemingly inhospitable environments, including on distant planets throughout the universe.
“In our exploration, lifting lobate lava shelves revealed adult tubeworms and other vent animals in subseafloor cavities,” researchers wrote. “The discovery of animal life beneath the surface of the Earth’s crust raises questions concerning the extent of these ecosystems, which is larger than what can be seen on the seafloor surface.” For years, the deep-sea subseafloor beneath hydrothermal vents was considered a barren, hostile landscape, home only to hardy microorganisms. The idea that larger, complex life forms could thrive in these extreme conditions seemed improbable. Read more here.
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have developed AI-driven mobile robots that can carry out chemical synthesis research with extraordinary efficiency. In a study publishing in the journal Nature, researchers show how mobile robots that use AI logic to make decisions were able to perform exploratory chemistry research tasks to the same level as humans, but much faster.
The 1.75-meter-tall mobile robots were designed by the Liverpool team to tackle three primary problems in exploratory chemistry: performing the reactions, analysing the products, and deciding what to do next based on the data. The two robots performed these tasks in a cooperative manner as they addressed problems in three different areas of chemical synthesis — structural diversification chemistry (relevant to drug discovery), supramolecular host-guest chemistry, and photochemical synthesis. The results found that with the AI function the mobile robots made the same or similar decisions as a human researcher but these decisions were made on a far quicker timescale than a human, which could take hours.

There aren’t any ATMs on Mars. In fact, the red planet currently has no infrastructure in place to support financial transactions. This poses a significant challenge for future colonists who want to order pizza using Bitcoin or trade apes with fellow non-fungible token (NFT) enthusiasts on Earth. The solution to this problem may have arrived in the form of recent research in the field of neuromorphic computing.
Traditional extraterrestrial communication is a complex, energy-intensive process that incurs minutes-long delays under the best of circumstances. As future colonists travel to Mars, their ship’s computers will quickly lose the ability to communicate with Earthbound computers and servers in real-time. Read more here.
Generative AI adoption is becoming ubiquitous as more software developers include the capability in their applications and users flock to sites like OpenAI to boost productivity. Meanwhile, threat actors are using the technology to accelerate the number and frequency of attacks. Read more here.
For a molecule of RNA, the world is a dangerous place. Unlike DNA, which can persist for millions of years in its remarkably stable, double-stranded form, RNA isn’t built to last, not even within the cell that made it. Unless it’s protectively tethered to a larger molecule, RNA can degrade in minutes or less. And outside a cell? Forget about it. Voracious, RNA-destroying enzymes are everywhere, secreted by all forms of life as a defense against viruses that spell out their genetic identity in RNA code.
There is one way RNA can survive outside a cell unscathed: in a tiny, protective bubble. For decades, researchers have noticed cells releasing these bubbles of cell membrane, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), packed with degraded RNA, proteins, and other molecules. But these sacs were considered little more than trash bags that whisk broken-down molecular junk out of a cell during routine decluttering. Read more here.
Researchers have developed a compact, wearable ultrasound device that monitors muscle activity. Attachable to the skin with an adhesive and powered by a small battery, the device wirelessly captures high-resolution images of muscle movements, enabling continuous, long-term monitoring. When worn on the rib cage, it effectively monitored diaphragm function for respiratory health assessments. When worn on the forearm, it accurately captured hand gestures, allowing users to control a robotic arm and even navigate virtual games.
This new technology has potential applications in healthcare for conditions affecting muscle function, as well as in human-machine interfaces for more natural robotic control. Read more here.
For a very long time, we have been under the impression that memory and learning are solely the brain’s forte. Central to this belief is the fact that our brains, particularly our brain cells, store memories. However, an innovative team of researchers begs to differ, suggesting that cells in other parts of the body partake in this memory function too.
The ability of non-brain cells to learn and form memories is a riveting discovery. This thought-provoking study provides us with a new understanding of memory’s mechanisms and paves the way for potential advancements in learning and memory-related afflictions treatment. Read more here.
A Dutch appeals court on Tuesday ruled in favor of oil giant Shell and overturned a landmark 2021 ruling by a lower court that ordered the company to sharply reduce its carbon emissions by the end of this decade, a major blow to activists pursuing legal measures to force companies to act on climate change.
Shell CEO Wael Sawan welcomed the ruling in a statement, saying: “We are pleased with the court’s decision, which we believe is the right one for the global energy transition, the Netherlands and our company…Our target to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 remains at the heart of Shell’s strategy and is transforming our business. This includes continuing our work to halve emissions from our operations by 2030.” Read more here.
Planktonic foraminifera are tiny marine organisms, which are essential to the ocean’s carbon cycle.
A recent study reveals that these populations are shrinking at an alarming rate due to ocean warming and acidification. Elevated CO2 levels and thus acidifying waters are making it harder for these single-cell organisms to form their shells, putting their survival at risk. Some foraminifera have begun migrating to cooler waters in an attempt to adapt, but environmental changes are occurring faster than they can keep up with. Read more here.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world. Its transformative power fuels innovation across industries, delivering new value to organizations and consumers alike.
As the proliferation of AI accelerates, people are starting to ask important questions: How does AI impact the environment? And furthermore, how do we keep pushing for progress without leaving a heavy carbon footprint on the planet? Read more here.
Generative AI is reshaping the future of the automotive industry. For industry leaders, this is not just some cutting-edge technology, but a strategic enabler poised to redefine the market landscape. With 79% of executives expecting significant AI-driven transformation within the next three years, harnessing GenAI is no longer optional but essential to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving sector.

Researchers have developed a robot that identifies different plant species at various stages of growth by ‘touching’ their leaves with an electrode.
The robot can measure properties such as surface texture and water content that cannot be determined using existing visual approaches. The robot identified ten different plant species with an average accuracy of 97.7% and identified leaves of the flowering bauhinia plant with 100% accuracy at various growth stages. Read more here.
Environmental sustainability isn’t a major factor influencing meat consumption decisions for most Americans, despite increasing awareness of the climate impacts of red meat production, according to Rutgers researchers.
The study, published in Appetite, examined meat and seafood consumption patterns among a nationally representative sample of more than 1,200 U.S. adults. Researchers found while many Americans report reducing their red meat intake, health concerns and price are the primary motivators rather than environmental. Read more here.
The food services industry might seem an unlikely candidate for AI adoption, yet the market, which includes full-service restaurants, quick-service restaurants, catering companies, coffee shops, private chefs, and a variety of other participants, is rapidly recognizing AI’s immediate and long-term potential.
AI in food services is poised for widespread adoption, predicts Colin Dowd, industry strategy senior manager at Armanino, an accounting and consulting firm. “As customer expectations shift, companies will be forced to meet their demands through AI solutions that are similar to their competitors,” he notes in an email interview.

An X / Twitter account called “Israel Genocide Tracker” (@trackingisrael) is sparking panic within the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as soldiers worry about getting doxed for killing civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Middle East Eye (MEE) released a video about the saga, which you can watch here.
Millennium Challenge 2002 was the U.S. military’s most elaborate and expensive war game ever, designed to showcase the “military of the next century” on full display. Three years in the planning, budgeted at $250 million, it involved 13,500 participants waging mock war in nine training sites across the United States as well as 17 “virtual” locations in the powerful computers of the Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia. The scenario, on Iran, posited a “Blue” U.S. force pitted against a “Red” enemy bearing a strong resemblance to Iran.
The administration of outgoing President Joe Biden is set to expedite the delivery of another $425 million military aid package for Ukraine following calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for increased Western support. In September, Zelensky presented his “victory plan” to Biden during his visit to the White House. The “victory plan,” which seeks to enhance the position of Ukraine in the ongoing war, is intended to expand Western security guarantees for Ukraine, increase military aid and secure financial support. (Related: U.K. to send another $2.93B to Ukraine using stolen Russian assets.)
This, in turn, prompted the Biden administration to allocate substantial resources for Ukraine, including a new multi-million military aid package on Nov. 1. The $425 million military aid package, provided through the Presidential Drawdown Authority, allows for the immediate transfer of weapons and equipment directly from U.S. military reserves to support Ukraine. Included in the new aid package are munitions for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, Stinger missiles, counter-unmanned aerial systems technology, air-to-ground munitions and additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems.

In anticipation of possible unrest, like what happened following the 2020 elections, several states mobilized their National Guard units ahead of Nov. 5.
Reminiscent of what happened in the last election when turmoil arose as Black Lives Matter and Antifa staged protests, state officials took precautionary measures in advance for what they said is “ensuring public safety.” Democratic Governor Jay Inslee of Washington announced back on Nov. 1 that he had already put the state-based military force on standby for the duration of Nov. 4 to 7.

Researchers in the US have confirmed that China is working on a nuclear-powered propulsion system for an aircraft carrier warship.
The researchers have confirmed that the country has developed a land-based prototype nuclear reactor that can provide power to a large surface warship. This is the clearest indication towards China developing its own very first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Read more here.
Israel is really struggling with how difficult its present circumstances make playing the victim. It keeps having to invent new abuses to be victimized by like the imaginary Amsterdam “pogrom” and the fake mass rape narrative that surfaced months after October 7, because it can’t sit comfortably in the role of victimizer while on trial for genocide in international courts.
Playing victim is too deeply ingrained in the narrative control strategies of Israel and its apologists, so they have to keep coming up with new and innovative ways for Israel to be victimized even when it is very clearly the last state on earth who has any business being viewed as such.

And here it is, US Border Chief Aaron Heitke who served under 5 different Administrations:
CONFIRMS BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT,
Since January 20, 2021, the United States government is being run by a terrorist organization.
Was ordered by the Biden/Harris terrorist administration to coverup, conceal and manipulate data on the border crisis.
“We have no idea who or what is coming through our country.”
— “Special Interests Aliens” (SIAs) and “KNOWN and SUSPECTED TERRORISTS [KST]”,
“At the time, I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests. The administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border” Read more here.
Despite being severely underfunded, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) still spent millions of taxpayer dollars on grants to initiatives that focus on “environmental justice” and diversity, equity and inclusion.
Records indicate that much of NASA’s $10 million grant spending went to universities to help them study environmental justice in urban areas as well as other places with high concentrations of racial minorities. For instance, the agency approved $150,000 in funding to Columbia University so it could pair “earth observations and socioeconomic data” and enable students to do environmental justice work in New York City.

The New York Post reports that Russians are floating the idea of a “reset” with the US made possible by Trump’s election as President. Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund said:
“Trump’s convincing victory shows that ordinary Americans are tired of the unprecedented lies, incompetence, and malice of the Biden administration. This opens up new opportunities for resetting relations between Russia and the United States.”
Trump and Putin are in favor of this, and so is the Russian media which is asking these kind of questions:
“What does the Trump administration mean for the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine? Do you think he will be able to broker a peace, or at least a ceasefire, in at least one of those conflicts?
“Do you expect the US to scale back its defense commitments in Europe under Trump? If so, will this create an opportunity for European countries to move ahead with some sort of of vision of collective security that does not rely on the US? Perhaps something in line with Macron’s proposals?
“Do you expect any changes in the US-NATO relations? Will the alliance’s new secretary general, Mark Rutte, be able to effectively deal with the Trump White House?”
My response is that these are relevant questions. Trump has these intentions. Does he have the means? Read more here.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday the Biden administration is working to send as much military aid as possible to Ukraine while it still can before President-elect Donald Trump who has promised to end the Ukraine-Russia war and questioned the amount of U.S. aid sent to Ukraine takes office in January.
Blinken told reporters in Brussels the purpose of the visit was “to focus our efforts on ensuring that Ukraine has the money, the munitions and the mobilized forces to fight effectively in 2025 or to be able to negotiate a peace from a position of strength.” Read more here.
United States President-elect Donald Trump has named tech magnate Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy as his picks to lead the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a new body he plans to establish once he returns to the White House.
“Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies,” Trump said in a statement on November 12. Read more here,
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has outlined a number of promises to “Make America Healthy Again” under President-elect Donald Trump, vowing to combat an “epidemic” of chronic diseases that he has described as an “existential” threat to America’s future.
All are under the banner of fighting what Kennedy sees as a common thread behind a broad swath of ailments: that Americans have been “mass poisoned by big pharma and big food,” and that federal agencies have failed to stop it. In response, he has also floated a number of specific policy ideas to remake the federal government’s public health institutions. Watch here.
Even before Donald Trump named Elise Stefanik the new U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, the New York representative had touted how the president-elect would return to a “maximum pressure” campaign on Iran.
The Wall Street Journal said Trump would “drastically increase” sanctions to “choke off” Iran’s oil income, which the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported last month reached $144 billion between 2021 and 2023 and $34 billion in 2024. But could Trump’s alignment with Israel and intention to throttle the Islamic Republic’s exports of 1.7 million barrels of oil a day impact Russia’s sales of its key revenue generator? Factors that will come into play include how Middle East tensions play out. Read more here.
Germany is set to hold a snap election on February 23 after an agreement was reached among parties in the country’s fractured parliament.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD) said that the main parties had agreed on the date for a snap election. The official announcement was made by Rolf Mützenich, group leader of the SPD, in Berlin. Mützenich said that Scholz will officially announce a vote of confidence in the government on December 11, followed by a vote five days later. Should the government fail to win the backing of parliament – an outcome that is widely expected – President Frank-Walter Steinmeier would confirm a date for the election. Read more here.
The idea that money can’t buy you happiness is one of the world’s most persistent tropes. King Midas is granted his wish that everything he touches will turn to gold only to starve to death. Jay Gatsby finds that money can’t buy him Daisy’s love.
Succession proved to be so popular not just because the television series is so cleverly written but also because it dwells on the misery of the super-rich. The Roy children may live in a world of private planes, luxury yachts and subdued designer clothing, but their personal lives are marinated in toxicity. Better to be a happy peasant than Kendall Roy. But is there any real evidence for this? Or is it just a story we tell ourselves out of either resentment of the rich or a sense of social justice? Read more here.
America’s most extensive collection of original historical documents related to UFOs has just found a new home in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
The National UFO Historical Records Center (NUFOHRC), founded by veteran UFO researcher and historian David Marler, opened its brand-new public facility in cooperation with Rio Rancho Public Schools. For decades, Marler has collected thousands of records from government and civilian sources, along with video and audio recordings, photographs, magazines, and historical artifacts related to studying what the U.S. government now calls unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

In the perplexing counterculture of UFO beliefs, individuals with cult-like followings and frequent claims associated with dubious “whistleblowers” aren’t uncommon. But how can you separate genuine voices from those leveraging UFO lore for personal or financial gain?
In a new documentary, Dark Alliance: The Inside Story of the Cosmic Con, filmmaker Darcy Weir dives into one section of the UFO counterculture, narrowing in on two well-known figures: David Wilcock and Corey Goode, presenting them as case studies in manipulation and the spread of misinformation within the UFO community and its associated areas of belief.

With a potentially explosive Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) hearing set to take place in the House of Representatives, sources connected with the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense (DoD) have disclosed new and controversial details to Liberation Times. These sources allege that retrieval missions and covert legacy operations, stretching back as far as World War Two were reportedly conducted by the CIA in collaboration with key elements of the U.S. Defense establishment.
The sources, who spoke under strict conditions of anonymity, describe a shadowy history of missions dedicated to recovering exotic materials of non-human origin under the utmost secrecy. The revelations are expected to add weight to an already intense debate over U.S. government transparency regarding UAP, as officials and the public grapple with the implications of alleged, long-standing retrieval missions.

Considering the ambitious mission to reach Mars which SpaceX is working on, the perspective has changed from simply getting to the planet to the more complex issue of ensuring people can live there in the future. From Elon Musk’s perspective, he and his colleagues are investigating Martian dwellings, creating habitats, life support systems and even whether people will be able to give birth on the planet.
SpaceX is currently developing dome shaped living units for the future Mars settlers. The purpose of these structures is to provide protection, for example, from extreme low temperatures, dust chances and unbreathable atmosphere that Mars entail leaving within. Engineers venturing into low weight and durable materials to build the structures are also ensuring that basic services such as water, food, and waste disposal are available in the habitats. Furthermore, advanced life support systems will be employed to make the environment self-sustaining, albeit balancing structural requirements and making life on Mars as homely as possible.

Generative AI’s wildfire adoption is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, many people are using GenAI to work more efficiently, and businesses are trying to scale it in an enterprise-class way. Meanwhile, the courts and regulators aren’t moving at warp speed, so companies need to be very smart about what they’re doing or risk intellectual property (IP) infringement, leakage, misuse and abuse.

A federal judge in Louisiana sided with a group of parents who sued the state over a plan to require the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom, temporarily halting implementation of the rule while the lawsuit plays out in court.
Republican Gov. Jeff Landry in June signed HB71 into law, requiring all public schools in Louisiana to display the Ten Commandments beginning Jan. 1 in each classroom on a poster or framed document. The display must be at least 11 by 14 inches and include a four-paragraph “context statement” that calls the commandments a “prominent part of American public education.” Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has said the posters will be paid for through private donations, not public education funds. The parents coalition sued the state just days after the law was signed, and the ACLU of Louisiana said it directly conflicts with state laws and violates precedent set by the Supreme Court in the 1980 case Stone v. Graham, which struck down a Kentucky law trying to require schools to post the Ten Commandments. Murrill has said she expects the lawsuit will go all the way to the Supreme Court. Read more here.
No matter who “won” the presidential election, the economy is not going to survive. Perhaps the whole banking system will fail, sparking hyperinflation like that of the Zimbabwean sort.
People tend to shrug their shoulders or wag their heads at one trillion dollars of debt service, because they know there’s nothing they can do about it. That doesn’t mean that it’s not serious or ultimately the republic-ending consequence of treason. Treason? Yes, treason. What the elected officials, even those who vote against spending bills, are doing is endangering the national security of the nation, as if there were anything left of it with wide-open borders. When the nation becomes so indebted that it cannot defend itself, it is the same as physically destroying their own military. What good are planes that can’t fly, because there’s no way to get the fuel? No one to haul it? The reason even those who vote against spending bills are guilty of treason, is they know it’s a means of looting the treasury and most of them will tell you outright that it is. Our treasury is part of a money-laundering scheme and when they need more money, they just print it, or more accurately, add zeros to a digital database.
The idea that “Trump will fix it” is whistling past the graveyard. He can’t. Read more here.
Bitcoin broke through the $90,000 level on November 6, to an all-time high in a rally showing no signs of easing on expectations that Donald Trump as U.S. president will be a boon for cryptocurrencies.
The world’s biggest cryptocurrency has become one of the most eye-catching movers in the week since the election and on Wednesday touched a record of $93,480 before paring gains. It was last down slightly at $88,185, but has risen 32% since the Nov. 5 election. Read more here.
The annual rate of inflation moved higher last month for the first time since March, as expected but economists say the underlying trend remains favorable for another round of interest rate cuts.
Consumer prices rose 0.2% last month and were up 2.6% from the year before, according to the latest Consumer Price Index data released Wednesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Housing-related inflation accounted for half of the monthly rise, and energy prices were flat after dragging down the overall index for four of the past six months. The Consumer Price Index measures price changes across commonly purchased goods and services. Read more here.
Not only is social media banning and shadow-banning content, but Archive.org suffered a massive Denial of Service/ DDOS attack and has stopped chronicling the life of the Internet in real time. It is now a read-only service up to the date of the attack on October 8, 2024.
For the first time since the invention of the web browser itself, researchers have been robbed of the ability to compare past with future content. The standard approach to know who said what and when is now gone. In addition, Google no longer offers a cached version of links. Alexa, a service that once ranked websites, was purchased by Amazon and has also disappeared. More here.
New research by the public advocacy group Do No Harm has found that between the years of 2019 and 2023, a total of 13,994 minors across the United States received “gender-affirming care,” which for more than 5,700 of them included body butchery in the form of transgender surgery.
Debunking a Harvard University study from back in June that claims there is “little to no utilization of gender-affirming surgeries by transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) minors in the U.S.,” Do No Harm’s research proves once and for all that LGBT perversion has reached the bottom of the barrel in terms of the innocence being targeted by its doctrines. Millions of American children these days are being bombarded day in and day out with LGBT perversion at school, in media and online. Many of these kids end up believing the lies they are told by their teachers, politicians and Hollywood actors about the gender “spectrum,” prompting them to lob off body parts and take hormone-destroying pharmaceuticals in order to become their “true selves.” Read more here.
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH – articles off the beaten track which may – or may not – have predictive value.
John Mearsheimer explains how the Israel lobby in the United States operates:
“This is not a case of all these politicians loving Israel and feeling they have to support Israel because it shares our values or is a strategic asset, they do it in good part out of FEAR, fear that the lobby will put its crosshairs on them…” Watch here.
You will hear and read every excuse in the book for why our government agencies are doing what they do to “help” produce, protect and sustain America’s food, medicine, education and military, but the reality is that most of what they do entails insidious methods to make a fortune while inflicting damage on our health, intelligence and livelihood.
Crops are adulterated so that corporations can make more money without any regard to human, animal or environmental safety and health. Entire ecosystems are polluted, destroyed and toxified with chemicals that cause cancer and dementia, while ruining the soil, the groundwater, and the nutritional value of food. Weather is modified, controlled and manipulated to produce storms, floods, droughts and fires that help corrupt organizations make money while conning millions of Americans into believing in “climate change.” Educational curriculum is dumbed down so children and teens graduate (if they do) with no critical thinking skills, limited ability to make a decent living, and a warped mind that has them thinking about gender fluidity and reverse racism all day.

The Rothschilds have been in control of the world for a very long time, their tentacles reaching into many aspects of our daily lives, as is documented in the following timeline. However, before you jump to the timeline, please read this invaluable introduction which will tell you who the Rothschilds are as oppose to who they claim to be. The Rothschilds claim that they are Jewish, when in fact they are Khazars. They are from a country called Khazaria, which occupied the land locked between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea which is now predominantly occupied by Georgia. The reason the Rothschilds claim to be Jewish is that the Khazars under the instruction of the King, converted to the Jewish faith in 740 A.D., but of course that did not include converting their Asiatic Mongolian genes to the genes of the Jewish people.

It is despair that is killing us. It fosters what Roger Lancaster calls “poisoned solidarity,” the intoxication forged from the negative energies of fear, envy, hatred and a lust for violence. Listen here.
I’m going to take you down a rabbit hole, similar to how your parents did when they read you Alice’s Wonderland as a child. Remember when you thought the most sinister thing about your favorite childhood TV show was that annoying earworm of a neverending theme song?
Those were the good ol’ days. In 2017, I remember a Samsung website called “Unspoil Me,” claiming it could erase your memories of your favorite TV shows as a child, kid-you-not. This would have been one of my favorite two shows, The Bionic Woman or The Carol Burnett Show (it’s true, I wanted to grow up and become a Bionic Carol Burnett). This website promised to give me the “opportunity” to, once again, experience my favorite show as a child, but with a fresh set of eyes.
That’s correct. Once I checked off a box claiming I was over 18, this website took me through a series of prompts, asking me to recall specific childhood television shows. It then guided me through a multi-minute process of hypnosis, supposedly to erase all my memories of my beloved Jaime Sommers and Carol Burnett. More here,
A commercial trawler recently made an unusual catch off the coast of Albania — a ghostly white deep-sea shark known as the angular roughshark (Oxynotus centrina). This rare specimen was found near Sazan Island, a secluded military outpost, at a depth of about 656 feet (200 meters).
The shark, critically endangered and typically dark gray or brown, stood out due to a rare genetic condition called leucism, which disrupts melanin production and causes reduced pigmentation. This marks the first time leucism has been documented in this species and in the shark’s entire family, Oxynotidae. Read more here.
A four-year-old girl, who doctors said would never walk, has defied expectations to take her first steps.
When she was a baby,she was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes severe physical and learning disabilities. Her parents were told to expect that their daughter would not be able to walk, talk, read, or live independently. However, a year later, they received a call from doctors reporting that she had been misdiagnosed. Then two-years-old, she actually had DUP15q syndrome, a similar but less severe disorder.

Last month, a rock climber named Kelston was scaling the natural walls of Susquehanna Riverlands State Park in Pennsylvania when he eyed something strange, a pair of wings awkwardly poking out from under a boulder.
Anxious to help the eagle trapped underneath, Kelston immediately contacted Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), who sent staff members to the base of the trail. DCNR rescuers knew they’d need a bird expert to ensure everything went smoothly, so they called Maryann, a capture transport wildlife volunteer, for backup. Rehabilitators treated the birds’ wounds and tested them for lead poisoning. With continued therapy and care, the eagles recovered. They became increasingly spicy and aggressive, signaling that they were preparing to return to their home outdoors. The eagles were ready for release by Veterans Day, making the moment especially emotional for all involved. Read more here.

Joe McMoneagle
Joe was the longest operational psychic spy in the US government’s very highly classified Stargate program where they used psychics and intuitives to look into installations and people around the world that were of interest to government intelligence agencies. They called the process remote viewing.
As it turned out, the remote viewers discovered that they were – not limited by either time or space and produced drawings and assessments that could not have been obtained in any other way. The Soviets had an active remote viewing program at the same time and it is rumored that Russia, China and the U.S. still have initiatives of this kind that are operational.
Joe’s stories are fascinating, like the time he mentally got inside a Chinese nuclear weapon and saw how the triggering mechanism worked . . . and then went out and bought the parts at Radio Shack to show the scientists in the intelligence agency exactly how it was done. The remote viewers could find submarines at the bottom of the ocean and crashed aircraft in the middle of African jungles.
Dr. Joe Dispenza
Dr Joe Dispenza is an international lecturer, researcher, corporate consultant, author, and educator who has been invited to speak in more than 33 countries on six continents. As a lecturer and educator, he is driven by the conviction that each of us has the potential for greatness and unlimited abilities. In his easy-to-understand, encouraging, and compassionate style, he has educated thousands of people, detailing how they can rewire their brains and recondition their bodies to make lasting changes.
Dr. Joe is also a faculty member at Quantum University in Honolulu, Hawaii; the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck, New York; and Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. He’s also an invited chair of the research committee at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia.
As a researcher, Dr. Joe’s passion can be found at the intersection of the latest findings from the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to explore the science behind spontaneous remissions. He uses that knowledge to help people heal themselves of illnesses, chronic conditions, and even terminal diseases so they can enjoy a more fulfilled and happy life, as well as evolve their consciousness. At his advanced workshops around the world, he has partnered with other scientists to perform extensive research on the effects of meditation, including epigenetic testing, brain mapping with electroencephalograms (EEGs), and individual energy field testing with a gas discharge visualization (GDV) machine. His research also includes measuring both heart coherence with HeartMath monitors and the energy present in the workshop environment before, during, and after events with a GDV Sputnik sensor.
As a NY Times best-selling author, Dr. Joe has written Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon(Hay House, 2017), which draws on research conducted at his advanced workshops since 2012 to explore how common people are doing the uncommon to transform themselves and their lives; You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter (Hay House, 2014), which explores our ability to heal without drugs or surgery, but rather by thought alone; Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One (Hay House, 2012) and Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind (2007), both of which detail the neuroscience of change and epigenetics. His film appearances include Transcendence: Live Life Beyond the Ordinary (2018); HEAL (2017); E-Motion (2014); Sacred Journey of the Heart (2012); People v. the State of Illusion (2011); What IF – The Movie (2010); Unleashing Creativity (2009); and What the #$*!

Dr. Todd Ovokaitys
After two years at Northwestern, he was accepted into an accelerated combined graduate/undergraduate program at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, which conferred both B.A. and M.D. degrees. Advanced training was at Georgetown University Hospital, with a Residency and Chief Residency in Internal Medicine followed by a Fellowship in Pulmonary and Intensive Care Medicine.
During his Pulmonary Fellowship, the specialty that concerns the lungs, Dr. Todd began his research with cells of the immune system. Many procedures were done on AIDS patients to diagnose their lung problems. Observing this dire disease firsthand and the toxic results of early medical treatments, Dr. Todd developed a passion for finding better solutions. Towards the end of his Fellowship, he became aware of the benefits of Holistic Medicine for improving the function of the immune system while building rather than impairing the function of other systems.
Inspired to learn more, he moved to Southern California to study with practitioners of Complementary Medicine. In the context of these studies, he had an experience so radical that the course of his life and work were forever transformed.
During a meditation class in the summer of 1989, Dr. Todd paired with another student for an exercise. The process was profound and they took turns, one in the process while the other scribed to record any breakthroughs of awareness. Much as in the Jodie Foster movie “Contact,” the usual anchor points dissolved with the feeling of instant transport to a different dimension of being. There was a doorway or portal to traverse, with a message of the responsibility taken on through the choice to go further.
Instantly upon walking through this doorway, a living form was seen that filled a room – and had the shape of a DNA strand enlarged millions of times. This form communicated that science only partly understood how DNA worked. The linear understanding of DNA as an enormous data string was correct but incomplete. In addition, DNA was a structure of coils within coils in an environment of moving charges that permitted DNA to send electromagnetic signals much as a radio transmitter. Further, DNA could receive and be conditioned by electromagnetic signals. Most significantly, if it were possible to determine and transmit the correct resonant signals, that it was possible to switch the activity of a sick cell to that of a healthy cell, an old cell to that of a young cell.
This experience brought with it a certainty that solutions were possible. After intensive review of the previous work showing the effects of electromagnetic energy patterns on cellular health and function, Dr. Todd located a colleague with the technical expertise to build the desired invention.

Sharry Edwards
Sharry Edwards has been accused of being too scientific by some, too esoteric by others. In actuality, she is a bridge between both fields of inquiry. Sharry is the acknowledged pioneer in the emerging field of Vocal Profiling using BioAcoustic Biology. For many years she has provided the leading-edge research to show the voice as a holographic representation of the body that can be used to change the face of medicine.
Sharry asks that we imagine a future in which we can be individually identified and maintained through the use of frequency based biomarkers that keep us healthy and emotionally balanced. Her work at the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology has shown that we can each have dominion over those frequencies by individual mind management or a simple remote control that is completely programmable. Using the unique techniques of Vocal Profiling and evaluation, emotional as well as physiological issues can be revealed and addressed.
Her work with the human voice reveals that people who share similar traumas, stresses, diseases, toxicities…share similar, if not identical, vocal anomalies. She brings together ancient knowledge with modern ideas of harmonics and frequency relationship theories to show that math can be used as a form of predictive, diagnostic and curative foundation for wellness. Through entrainment of the frequency grids of the brain, the body can be programmed to support its own optimal form and function.

Steve served with the Australian Army for 15 years, including war service as an infantry company commander in Somalia, 1993. He is also a qualified military helicopter pilot and on leaving the army he flew a rescue helicopter in the tropical Mackay-Whitsunday region of Queensland. Building upon his extensive experience in unpredictable environments, after retiring from flying Steve specialized as a change management consultant. He consequently studied the developmental psychology research of Dr Clare W Graves and became one of the first Australians qualified to teach Dr Graves’ theory under the banner of Spiral Dynamics Integral. A long-term struggle with posttraumatic stress has driven Steve’s deep interest in human nature and consciousness. He is a founder of Psychedelic Research in Science & Medicine, an Australian non-profit association. He is also a founder of AADII, a non-profit company created to support worldwide transformational change.
Although Robert Coxon had been studying and composing music for many years, it was after taking the Silva Mind Control course that he realized how powerful sound could be in relaxing the body and opening the consciousness. He then decided to write his first album.

Good health is dependent on the appropriate transfer of information within and between cells. The informational and molecular disharmonies associated with disease can be reversed using appropriate therapeutic signals that stimulate the return to the normal state without adverse effects. One such signal molecule, SLO, has demonstrated clinical utility in a broad spectrum of indications that would at first glance appear to be unrelated. The underlying common thread that links these disorders is representative of the targets to which resonant molecular signals are directed.

As Regina’s career progressed, so did her decades long exploration into the world of esoteric and hidden sciences – the reality beyond the 5 sense world. Guidance from these realms suggested it was time to bring her skill set to the world of video/televised media, so in late 2004, along with her husband Scott, she co-created ‘Conscious Media Network’, the first online network to feature full length original video interviews with authors and experts in the realms of the meta-physical, healing arts and alternative theories, opening up a world that many had experienced but never had access to on this scale.
Gaia: In 2012, Conscious Media Network merged with Gaiam TV in 2012, with Regina serving as anchor in their new media division on Open Minds and Healing Matrix. The demand for Regina’s unique perspective on a variety of subjects has drawn attention from conference organizers, moving her into the public as a presenter at conferences.

Although nominated for a Nobel Prize in physics for his breakthrough theoretical work on zero-point energy, Dr. Harold Puthoff, is most recognized for having been a co-founder of the secret US government “remote viewing” program that successfully used psychics to spy on the Soviet Union and China.
Now a principal and science advisor in a leading-edge effort by former senior military and intelligence managers to disclose the many decades of interest that the US has had in UFOs, he comes to Berkeley Springs on the 8th of February to give a TransitionTalk about his work in making sense out of the UFO phenomena.
Dr. Puthoff’s presentation will include a summary of his current activities with To The Stars Academy, which is on the forefront of bringing into the open formerly highly classified efforts by the government to track, record and understand the meaning of hundreds of encounters that the military has had with UFOs over the past years.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to learn from and question one of the foremost thinkers and leaders of the rapidly accelerating global effort to both make the public aware of what was previously unacknowledged about UFO and alien interaction with humans and also to address the deep questions about what is happening and what it might mean for the future of humanity.

John L. Petersen is considered by many to be one of the most informed futurists in the world. He is best-known for writing and thinking about high impact surprises (wild cards) and the process of surprise anticipation. His current professional involvements include the development of sophisticated tools for anticipatory analysis and surprise anticipation, long-range strategic planning and helping leadership design new approaches for dealing with the future.

The “think tank” serves as a global agent for change by developing new concepts, processes and tools for anticipating the future and translating that knowledge into better present-day decisions. Using advanced information technology, a core group of bright thinkers and an international network of exceptionally curious people along with simulations, modeling, scenario building, polling and analysis, Arlington helps equip leaders and organizations from many disciplines with tools and actionable perspectives for dealing with uncertain times.
