It's possible dinosaurs are a globalist hoax- apparently only fossil fragments exist and the "fossils" we see in museums are elaborate reconstructions. I don't agree with the biblical fundamentalism, but this blogger has lots of good material:
Welcome to the fray, CK! I agree with your line of thinking - question everything - and it's true most of what we see in museums is inferred from very few actual fossils. I did a lot of fossil hunting in West Texas, but most of what I found were shells, horseshoe crabs, trilobites, and fish (in the desert). No matter how you slice it, it is clear that a lot of information is being withheld from us by those who use it for power. That will thankfully end soon...
Hi, I recently discovered this Stack. Love the topic. I recently read a book by Robert Schoch called Forgotten Civilizations and he is a big proponent of the idea that the earth experienced a major plasma event +/- 12000 years ago which destroyed Civilization at the time but was also recorded in petroglyph. See also Anthony Peratt on petroglyph and plasma events. Schoch also mentions something called galactic superwaves which sounds a lot like what you're saying above. I'm in an airport getting ready to board and will dig into your post later!
Welcome Kip! I follow both Schoch and Peratt, and enjoy the good mind-bending they offer. Paul LeViolette introduced me to the galactic superwave theory, and it's compelling. However, I think we are currently going through the galactic current sheet, which is analogous to Earth's Van Allen belts, but at a massive scale. This topic has only recently been surfacing in the mainstream papers, since they really can't deny it now with two observed waves - one behind us and one incoming.
As for petroglyphs, I spent a lot of time photographing and studying the ones in Albuquerque. They are fascinating, and when I saw Peratt's comparisons with plasma phenomena, I fell out of my chair. Really quite amazing.
You're being a bad boy! I think you know subduction theory is the accepted mainstream theory. PBS tells me its proven beyond question. But you dare blaspheme it with expansion talk? Well stop making so much sense. Your plaster example is astute, and note that when you deflate the plaster balloon you not only get techtonic plates , but also the Rocky Mountains and the Himalayas. The universe operates on many timescales longer than we can comprehend. We know the universe is expanding and theres more than sufficient evidence that the Earth also experiences such cycles. Some have theorized that the moon was ejected from the Earth during a particularly violent expansion phase. This also supports the idea of a larger Earth at some point in the past. Science has done little more than make observations and classify them. Somewhere along the way the classification system became the science itself and I don't think that works at all. We need to think in the terms of the things we are dealing with and fit the facts to reality, not the classification system. Keep telling this tale. The classification system is wrong about everything. Subduction Theory is some of the dumbest shit intellectuals ever came up with. And that's saying something...
Welcome Deuce! And thanks for a breath of clear thinking.
You are correct to bring up mountain ranges, and having worked in the ole 'n' gas bidness, I learned a bit about geology, so expansion and subduction zones do exist. There is one bit of evidence I rarely see mentioned - the mid-Atlantic expansion rift. Core samples clearly show magnetic reversals every 10k-12k years, with the polarity being frozen into the magma as it cools. There is also quite a bit of evidence for the entire planet flipping over, though that's a tough one to comprehend.
As for the Moon, phew!, that's a complex issue. I subscribe to the parked/built in place theory, since the orbital dynamics just don't work for the expelled/captured models. There's also the issue of Moon rocks being a billion years older than the oldest on Earth. But that's a whole 'nuther post. :)
Yeah this is definitely not my area of expertise, but it's always important to remember that we know almost nothing and should keep an open mind. Of course localized subduction takes place. It's easy to see how the Earth surface is wrinkled and theres bound to be lots of 'over-under'. But the idea of the Earth crust being continuously subducted and replaced at a syncronous rate for all time at the bottom of the ocean, borders on preposterous. And I probably agree with you about the moon, despite the fact that those 'moon rocks' were proven to be petrified wood and definitely not billions of years old. So back to my original point, what do we really know? Probably nothing, but I do enjoy entertaining ideas! Cheers
"If we assume that their bones, muscles and connective tissues were analogous to current vertebrates, they would have crumbled into a heap of quivering meat on land."
So what you are saying is: "I don't understand how dinosaurs could grow that large, so physics must be wrong". Maybe physics isn't wrong. Maybe you just don't understand dinosaurs.
Actually, what I am saying is based on physics - how do you get such large creatures to defy current physical conditions? Solution? Some conditions must have been different then. This in no way denies any current understanding of the physical world. As for understanding dinosaurs, other than having watched Komodo dragons for many hours in their natural habitats, I don't claim any special insights. I do know, however, that much of what the academics publish about them is inferred from rocks, and are not based on direct observation, so we are all speculating in any case.
How do you build a skyscraper 2000 ft tall? How do you leave earth orbit and get to the moon? 300 years ago these things "defied physics". If that knowledge is lost in the next 300 years, will people claim the physics was different 100 years ago? If you want to figure out why dinosaurs got so large, begin with Occams razor.
Certainly a worthy line of thought, though a faster rotation would imply a smaller circumference or more kinetic energy, which leads us back to where we started.
Nice to see articles trying to wake people up to the larger picture. Some can look at it as dooms dayish, but I just find it interesting knowing more truth which is so obviously and purposely hidden from us. One aspect of Ben's work (that we've recently and briefly mentioned) is the multitude of connections between ancient so-called myths and "modern" day science catching up to finally be able to explain these "myths" as likely actual events. That coming together of myth and science has fascinated me for years. If you are ever so inclined, I'd love to read an article along those lines. Thank-you.
Thank you for the kind comment, Paul. Nice to have readers like you around these parts.
I know that being lied to leads to bad decisions and choices, so I would rather know the truth and formulate an action plan on that, than to be sold a pile of lies, which are then used to literally rob me to pay for pointless virtue signalling.
I will eventually get around to myths, legends and the real world. In my vast library of unfinished work, I've started on it several times. The problem is taking vast topics and boiling them down into 1,000 thought-provoking words. Success in my professional career has been based on my problem-solving and troubleshooting abilities, and that is entirely predicated on knowing there are alternative solutions to everything using the same data. I'm happy to know you find that to be a fun way to look at Universe, as well.
No one has ever explained to me how the astronauts going to the moon survived the trip through the Van Allen Belt. The astronauts don't answer the question.
We are stuck here on Earth. We'll go extinct (I'm pretty close).
Here's what I know, and keep in mind my astrophysics professor in university (Larry Pinsky) did a study on the astronauts and their suits when they returned to get answers on this very question.
The Van Allen belts are most intense in a narrow band around the equator, thinning out above and below the ecliptic. The Apollo craft took a path above the central belts on the way out, and below them on the way back. This minimized their exposure to just a few hours overall the entire trip.
That said, the astronauts did complain quite a bit about "flashes" inside their eyeballs from cosmic rays hitting objects in the eye's fluids. Also, Pinsky found numerous microscopic "spikes" inside their helmets and other gear, caused by energetic particles puncturing the materials. They all got a good dose of radiation, though the human body is quite resilient. As far as I know, none of the Apollo astronauts had children after they returned, so in that regard we don't know what the effects were on their DNA in that respect. I do note that Aldrin is still kicking at a ripe old age, and most of them lived well into their 70s, so it couldn't have been too bad.
RFS: Thanks for your reply. It is the best answer I've heard to this Van Allen Belt radiation and the astronauts question. Did Professor Pinsky also measure solar radiation at the time of the astronauts going through the Van Allen Belts? If it had been me in the Apollo spacecraft, I'd have been wearing lead-lined underwear.
I don't recall all the metrics involved, but as I remember, things like space weather were included, as were in situ measurements by devices on the spacecraft and lunar equipment, since cosmic radiation was a major concern. The translunar profile, if I remember correctly, was about 35 degrees, so think of a figure 8 tilted with respect to Earth's equator, so that the "hump" went over or under the hot band of the belts. Total transition through the belts was about 8 hours (4 out and 4 back). That was part of the decision to use a direct injection, rather than a longer looping trajectory.
Yes, absolutely. The Van Allen belts were the first major discovery of the Space Age, with (I believe) the Echo I satellite. They knew there were large concentrations of charged particles in the belts, and that outside LEO (up to 400 miles up), cosmic radiation increased significantly, and they knew some of it was ionizing radiation (gamma/X rays, etc.), but we are still assessing the extent and evolution of the belts.
The Van Allen belts are a side road. The temperature in space is -250+K. On the surface of the moon with the sun hitting you you'd experience 200+Kelvin, while anywhere you are shadowed you'd experience -250K. If you've ever seen the ridiculous 'space suits' they try to tell you the astronauts wore, this proposition becomes laughable. They would have been frozen solid before they reached the Van Allen Belt. It's a silly story that people need to let go of.
Temperature has long been an issue with me. The LM, with nothing more than a layer or two of mylar skin, should have blown up like a balloon, while half the craft would have been roasting and the other half freezing. The materials engineering, thermal dynamics, and air pressure issues alone don't add up. And THEN there's the EVA suits. Many unanswered questions that will likely have to wait until the entire US archive is declassified.
Haha, yeah you'd have to figure there would literally be weather inside that capsule and probably violent at that. Hurricanes and tornadoes form with far smaller heat gradients
I don't even want to go down this road because I know what lies at the end, but I will make this definitive statement. The space station is for research. If the people who support the space station as a research facility don't want their research broadcast globally, then it's not gonna be. So you would expect, in the general sense, some subterfuge about the goings on on the space station. Do I believe it's there? Yes. I've photographed it. Do I believe people are on it? Yes. Do I believe that every piece of footage represed as coming from the space station is real and live and not staged? Not at all. For reasons that are very easy to understand. But floating around in low Earth orbit and traveling to other planets are entirely different things in every way and you cannot conflate one with the other. It's the first 1%. We can do one, but it doesn't automatically mean we can do everything else too. Far from it.
Deuce: Space in low Earth orbit almost as cold as space. I asked my friend at NASA about the space suits. They have small tubes of water in them that are heated or cooled as need be. The suits are also pressurized to keep the human body intact in the vacuum of space.
Yes, low Earth orbit and space travel are different things, but we are discussing the ability of space suits handling the extreme cold of space.
The math doesnt work out. What heats the water faster than it loses heat to space? On a 200+ degree gradient. How big is the heat exchanger for that? What are the power demands. Is the power source stored in the suit? It's utter nonsense. I don't care what someone at NASA said. The math isn't even close, just like it isn't close with 3 guys traveling 250k miles in a tin can at absolute zero. Just do the math and see that it's not even close. How do you take off and land in a vacuum? Thrusters thrust against air. How do you counter the gravity of a planet/moon accelerating you towards it from 10k miles out? The whole story is full of gaping holes whether or not you thought enough to ask. Yes we can launch rockets and fly around low Earth but everything else is some weird mix of sci-fi fantasy and co!d war propaganda.
Deuce: If a penguin can stay warm at -70F, I don't see why a space suit, pressurized slightly, with a battery power pack and tubes of some fluid couldn't keep an astronaut at the right temperature. We are just talking about the spacesuits here.
Radiation was the main concern. There is no way to protect the spacecraft or astronauts from cosmic radiation without thick lead shielding and that is too heavy for space travel.
All of the astronauts, and pilots at high altitude, are exposed to cosmic radiation.
Even without the radiation hazard, the capsules looked way too flimsy to insulate the astronauts from the cold of outer space. That would kill them within minutes.
"It is only one degree warmer than absolute zero or zero on the Kelvin scale – it is the lowest temperature that's theoretically possible. Outer space has a baseline temperature of 2.7 Kelvin, minus 453.8 degrees Fahrenheit or minus 270.45 degrees Celsius, according to LiveScience."
I am pretty sure all those aliens the US Defense department now reluctantly admits exist arrive via portals (wormholes), which we have not yet mastered, to bypass trips through open space.
The capsule actually heated to about +250F in sunlight, and -300F in shadow, so the solution was to roll the SM on a regular schedule. My question has always been, if space is a vacuum, how do you radiate heat? The only three solutions I can come up with are: 1) space is not a vacuum, or 2) technology was used that we peons don't know about, or 3) no one has gone into space. Take your pick (and show your work).
As for aliens, I suspect something like "spooky action at a distance" is their means of travel.
It is apparent by your writing that you are scientifically literate so I would have assumed you have some knowledge of engineering heat transfer.
There are 3 modes, conduction, convection, and radiation. In the not-quite-vacuum of space, conduction and convection may safely be assumed away. Radiation is it, and with space being very large and low energy, getting rid of heat is generally easy.
Getting heat is harder, but careful design with lots of layers of different types of insulation will allow it to be controlled in a habitable environment.
I do have some knowledge of black body radiation, thermodynamics, and related topics, but I am by no means an "expert". In my opinion, we peons haven't been fully informed on the nature of space itself, and certainly all the rubbish about space-time doesn't help. I suspect that the Universe is a plasma soup and that there is no true vacuum "out there," but until someone gives us all a little straight talk about the nature of Nature, we must contend with things that don't make sense.
For the record I agree it's possible but not in the capsule they claim to have done it in. That is the point and it's pretty clear that the capsule was not equipped this way at all. And rolling the capsule and countering the angular momentum would seem to consume a lot of fuel over ~250k miles. Where was that stored? Everyone has their pet explanation for all these little things but none of them are verifiably or realistically part of the thing that actually happened. Composite materials, capillary suits, magic thrusters, yeah great, but they didn't have or use these things in 1969. So if nothing fits it didn't happen. Everybody saw professional wrestling on TV and believed it was real. Except instead of wrestling it was some guys landing on the moon. There isnt nor ever was any reason for one to be any more believable than the other. Sorry
According to the Electric Universe model, the universe is 99% plasma and is not a vacuum.
My main question about the moon landings is how the return trip was done- how did the module return to the earth without a rocket to slow down/maneuver. I get that atmospheric friction would slow it down but was a parachute really all that was needed? This link suggests reentry is impossible- unless, of course, hidden technology was used.
This has been an open question. The official explanation is that the capsule came in at 27,000mph, did an "S"-curve maneuver and used ablative shielding to shed velocity, deployed smaller drogue chutes to further reduce velocity, all before deploying the main chutes.
Now I've never done a deep dive into this problem and I know very little about aerodynamics. I believe Apollo 8 was the first to do it at full speed. In any case, EU theory says that Earth's electrical field would provide a repulsive force, however small, to further reduce velocity. Interesting question to ponder.
Unfortunately, we can't verify this independently although it's a seemingly plausible explanation. Another major reason to be skeptical of the Moon Landings is that everything was done so quickly- in less than a decade and without a hitch. If conventional technology was used and had to be developed within that timeframe, then likely it's all fake. OTOH, if the hidden PTB shared advanced technology with NASA then it's possible, of course. It's also possible outer space is very different than what mainstream science tells us. If the EU model is true or closer to the truth- then already most of what we think is wrong.
BerryFarmer: You make a good point. But people live in the ISS and it is very cold there. Hell, I don't know. I do have a friend whose father worked on the astronaut space suits for NASA. He told me that the suits were tested in liquid nitrogen atmospheres.
I don't really know but I don't know how penguins survive either.
To me, gravity is the biggest problem with space travel. Human bodies need gravity to survive. The astronaut who didn't land on the moon but stayed in the orbiter went the longest in 0 gravity.
ISS astronauts who return to Earth say it takes over a year to get back to normal in Earth gravity.
I've met a number of ISS astronauts - 2 who stayed 6 months there - and they are not fans of long-term weightlessness. The Apollo guys only spent a week to week and a half in space. The folks who stay there long term say it really messes with all your systems. I cannot see multi-year missions to Mars without some form of artificial gravity/centripetal system -- or some of that field drive stuff to cut the trip to hours.
RFS: I agree. A friend and I had a discussion about space travel and gravity. Counter-rotating modules would counteract the gyro effect but still, the centrifugal forces (fake gravity) would vary with distance from the center of the rotating modules.
I think you are right. Gravity is a propulsion (engine) problem and not a spacecraft (structural) problem. People just have to get to gravity faster.
I've been pondering this for a novel I'm working on. It is true that the full effect would be on the "floor" of the cylinder, while the hub would be zero-g. Also, the actual force would be a function of cylinder diameter and rotational rate. There's also the issue of lateral force similar to the coriolis effect, meaning it would be difficult to walk in a straight line along the "floor". Another option is using constant acceleration/deceleration to provide "gravity" along the vector centerline. And then there's field generators...
RFS: I watched a Sci Fi movie last year (can't remember the name) where acceleration and then deceleration was used to provide gravity in the spacecraft. I have no idea how to do the math on that or if it is feasible.
Field generators for gravity is an unknown field to me.
Okay, I subscribed at the founding level. RFS is interesting. I've known about the solar system entering the energetic part of the Milky Way for years. All of the planets are heating up.
The purple background is irritating but it's RFS' substack.
I'm still counting on Planet X to show up.
Some of my in-laws seem too large to exist in the Earth's current gravity.
Sometimes I think I'm losing the war with gravity myself.
The Planet X/Nibiru/Nemesis theory has been around a long time. Obviously, there's nothing in the public domain from Offishuldumb that helps in any way.
Personally, I'm keyed in on Van Flandern's Exploded Planet Hypothesis. He ran the orbits of several thousand comets and asteroids back in time, and they converged on a single point 3.2mya and 65mya, both of which line up with mass extinctions on Earth. There's also significant data from many bodies in the Solar System that suggest a huge explosion of some kind -- such as Mars' hemispheric dichotomy, which implies being "splattered" with debris, causing the planet to tip over to rebalance itself.
It boils down to us knowing precious little about our own backyard, and most of what we know is purposely jumbled and obfuscated by Offishuldumb. There's still plenty to explore right here on our own planet and moon.
RFS: Oh, I agree. I haven't read Van Flandem's EPH but it sounds reasonable. Who can explain Neptune's orbit?
Who can explain the Earth's moon? Why such a big moon for our little planet and why is it just the right size and distance from Earth to block the sun? (A solar eclipse is coming, yes?)
I'm surprised that life on Earth exists at all. Mars is a mystery. Why does Earth have a hot molten core and Mars does not? Does Venus have a hot core?
So many mysteries in our backyard indeed.
I liked reading "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein last year. Heinlein took physics in college. The gravity problem for space travel still hasn't been solved to my knowledge.
Purple? I thought it was dark grey, but then my eyes are just about shot. I'll see what I can do, the the light text on dark background does help me a lot.
Ah, so you are the subscriber! I saw that as I breezed through to check the comments and nearly fell out of my chair. My most humble and heart-felt thanks for your support. If you're ever in Indonesia and need a native guide, look me up.
All funds incoming are being socked away to do a livestream from the Java Pyramid, hopefully with the professor who dated it to 20,000 years ago and has been studying it for a number of years now. You now have Producer credit when that happens. A thousand thanks!
RFS: Yes, it is purple background but no matter. Whatever helps your eyes is fine by me.
I do not know the Java Pyramid.
You are more than worthy of my support.
One of my best friends worked in Jakarta for years. He ran a large resort there. The usual, golf, tennis, spas, hotel, etc. He liked it there as a "round-eye".
Steve got Dengue Fever. He told me that all the Asians have a blood type that wasn't compatible with his. Steve needed a blood transfusion.
A doctor at the hospital remembered that a Swedish woman had been there that day and was going home that evening. The doctor called the airport. An announcement was made. The Swedish woman came to the hospital (missing her flight), gave a blood transfusion to Steve and his life was saved.
Steve flew home to the States via private jet and now lives in California.
Steve liked Indonesians. The government is corrupt (whose isn't?)
Indonesia is a rich country with poor leadership. Hopefully your new President will turn it around.
Jakarta sucks - just another big city - but Indonesia is amazing. I fell in love with the place and have no desire to live anywhere else. Great people, incredible countryside, rich history, and vibrant arts.
About 10 years ago, I came down with amoebic dysentery, typhus and dengue all within the space of 6 weeks. Friends and family gathered to say goodbye and I spent 20 days in the hospital. But I guess I'm just too ornery to die, so here I am. Nothing as dramatic as Steve, though I've heard similar stories, but I had my liver vacuumed and spent 6 weeks having $100/day doses of a new antibiotic pumped in me. In any case, I made it. :)
RFS: Thanks for the link. What an odd archeological site. Why hexagonal columns? I've never heard of those before. Five terraces, five-sided columns?
You are lucky to be alive. I worked on a film in the Amazon for six months in 1990. One of the crew members caught Amoebic Dysentery. He damn near died. Had to be flown by private jet back to the USA.
Sanitation in Belem and on the jungle movie location was almost nil.
I don't think it's quite so dire, as these shifts probably take place extremely slowly from a human perspective.
That said, I think these Strange Energies from Space will also have other effects, as they are part of the 24,000 year Yuga cycle, as the Earth oscillates above and below the galactic plane, allowing for more direct exposure to emanations from the galactic center.
Long periods of time, yes, roughly 12,000 years, but from all appearances the crescendo may well happen in days to a decade. No one really knows, at least out here in the great unwashed. We note that the Bumbledicks are creating seed banks and digital libraries on the Moon and elsewhere. We also know that ancient people built vast tunnel networks in Europe and incredible stoneworks which were then buried on purpose. We further know that one good blast from the Sun and our entire technological civilization is gone overnight. In any case, we are being monstrously gaslighted by the Bumbledicks and the Space Goat Farts are already here, but there's reason to believe that on the backside is a new Golden Age -- whether one calls it Yuga or Great Month of Aquarius. All clouds are followed by glorious sunlight.
RFS: How many mushrooms do you put in your tea? I'm reminded of the Jack Nicholson speech to the Hispanic woman at his apartment door in the movie "As Good as it Gets".
Ha! Great flick. Depends on which kind of mushrooms you mean. My diet contains well over a dozen varieties, and I happen to love fungus, having even hunted them on many occasions. As for things sounding crazy, they do, but every single point I made was backed up a link to "official" sites, real studies and other solid information. If you are referring to the Yugas and the Great Year, I have past articles on these topics, again with the best reference materials I can find.
I knew a guy who bought a Yugo, and regretted that decision every day of his life. I was a fan of pre-1980 American lang yachts - Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac. I was big on road trips, and I liked having a little acreage on tour. Come to think of it, I don't remember ever owning a car with less than 8 cylinders, 4 barrels and a 26-gallon tank.
RFS: I don't think I've ever even seen a Yugo. I had a 1968 or so green Olds 98? I'm not sure the model number or year, but it was a BEAST! In South Dakota at dawn when the roads in the countryside were empty, I got it up to 135 MPH.
Back at the farm, the Olds (which cost me $50) had no oil, water, and little fuel. It had all burned away at 135 MPH. But it still ran after I added oil, water, and gas once the engine cooled off. That Olds was a tank.
I started tracking clif in July 2001, when George Ure posted a warning from some crank in the Pacific Northwest about a major event the following September. Needless to say, my library holds every issue of the ALTA reports, and some supplemental publications, as well.
Ha! I tumbled to him not long after you. Didn't subscribe to the ALTA reports, but I remember reading his site and thinking "this cat is crazy in all the right ways, I need to keep an eye on him". When he started releasing videos I really started paying attention.
Indeed, the essence of Walter's knowledge represents an entirely new education system based on knowledge of the Divine. In other words, Truth founded on the fact that we are characters within the Divine Mind; that the Universe is the screen for the Exploration-Investigation-Discovery of 'What I Am' - One Mind exploring its endless possibilities in cause-and-effect. Magnificence, Beauty and Goodness beyond all the complex ramblings of 'science, religion and philosophy' founded on anti-life engineered ignorance and hubris. Small wonder it's been ignored' whilst high time to present the truth in numerous form s of digital and other multimedia; especially to our children who will understand so easily, once we get it right!
Great post.
It's possible dinosaurs are a globalist hoax- apparently only fossil fragments exist and the "fossils" we see in museums are elaborate reconstructions. I don't agree with the biblical fundamentalism, but this blogger has lots of good material:

Welcome to the fray, CK! I agree with your line of thinking - question everything - and it's true most of what we see in museums is inferred from very few actual fossils. I did a lot of fossil hunting in West Texas, but most of what I found were shells, horseshoe crabs, trilobites, and fish (in the desert).

Hi, I recently discovered this Stack. Love the topic. I recently read a book by Robert Schoch called Forgotten Civilizations and he is a big proponent of the idea that the earth experienced a major plasma event +/- 12000 years ago which destroyed Civilization at the time but was also recorded in petroglyph. See also Anthony Peratt on petroglyph and plasma events. Schoch also mentions something called galactic superwaves which sounds a lot like what you're saying above. I'm in an airport getting ready to board and will dig into your post later!
Welcome Kip! I follow both Schoch and Peratt, and enjoy the good mind-bending they offer. Paul LeViolette introduced me to the galactic superwave theory, and it's compelling. However, I think we are currently going through the galactic current sheet, which is analogous to Earth's Van Allen belts, but at a massive scale. This topic has only recently been surfacing in the mainstream papers, since they really can't deny it now with two observed waves - one behind us and one incoming.
As for petroglyphs, I spent a lot of time photographing and studying the ones in Albuquerque. They are fascinating, and when I saw Peratt's comparisons with plasma phenomena, I fell out of my chair. Really quite amazing.

There is one bit of evidence I rarely see mentioned - the mid-Atlantic expansion rift.

There is also quite a bit of evidence for the entire planet flipping over, though that's a tough one to comprehend.
As for the Moon, phew!, that's a complex issue. I subscribe to the parked/built in place theory, since the orbital dynamics just don't work for the expelled/captured models. There's also the issue of Moon rocks being a billion years older than the oldest on Earth. But that's a whole 'nuther post. :)
Yeah this is definitely not my area of expertise, but it's always important to remember that we know almost nothing and should keep an open mind. Of course localized subduction takes place. It's easy to see how the Earth surface is wrinkled and theres bound to be lots of 'over-under'. But the idea of the Earth crust being continuously subducted and replaced at a syncronous rate for all time at the bottom of the ocean, borders on preposterous. And I probably agree with you about the moon, despite the fact that those 'moon rocks' were proven to be petrified wood and definitely not billions of years old. So back to my original point, what do we really know? Probably nothing, but I do enjoy entertaining ideas! Cheers
"If we assume that their bones, muscles and connective tissues were analogous to current vertebrates, they would have crumbled into a heap of quivering meat on land."
So what you are saying is: "I don't understand how dinosaurs could grow that large, so physics must be wrong". Maybe physics isn't wrong. Maybe you just don't understand dinosaurs.
Actually, what I am saying is based on physics - how do you get such large creatures to defy current physical conditions? Solution? Some conditions must have been different then. This in no way denies any current understanding of the physical world. As for understanding dinosaurs, other than having watched Komodo dragons for many hours in their natural habitats, I don't claim any special insights. I do know, however, that much of what the academics publish about them is inferred from rocks, and are not based on direct observation, so we are all speculating in any case.
How do you build a skyscraper 2000 ft tall? How do you leave earth orbit and get to the moon? 300 years ago these things "defied physics". If that knowledge is lost in the next 300 years, will people claim the physics was different 100 years ago? If you want to figure out why dinosaurs got so large, begin with Occams razor.
Perhaps the Earth was spinning faster and is slowing down in it`s rotational speed after these 60 million years. That was my first thought.
Certainly a worthy line of thought, though a faster rotation would imply a smaller circumference or more kinetic energy, which leads us back to where we started.
Nice to see articles trying to wake people up to the larger picture. Some can look at it as dooms dayish, but I just find it interesting knowing more truth which is so obviously and purposely hidden from us. One aspect of Ben's work (that we've recently and briefly mentioned) is the multitude of connections between ancient so-called myths and "modern" day science catching up to finally be able to explain these "myths" as likely actual events. That coming together of myth and science has fascinated me for years. If you are ever so inclined, I'd love to read an article along those lines. Thank-you.
Thank you for the kind comment, Paul. Nice to have readers like you around these parts.
I know that being lied to leads to bad decisions and choices, so I would rather know the truth and formulate an action plan on that, than to be sold a pile of lies, which are then used to literally rob me to pay for pointless virtue signalling.
I will eventually get around to myths, legends and the real world. In my vast library of unfinished work, I've started on it several times. The problem is taking vast topics and boiling them down into 1,000 thought-provoking words. Success in my professional career has been based on my problem-solving and troubleshooting abilities, and that is entirely predicated on knowing there are alternative solutions to everything using the same data. I'm happy to know you find that to be a fun way to look at Universe, as well.
Here is truly enlightened science that explains our ignorance:
The Secret Of Light By Walter Russell (Unabridged Illustrated Audiobook) - YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPKO1cxAz3o
Funny you should mention this. I was just having this conversation last night with a friend. Light is truly mind-blowing once you dive in.
No one has ever explained to me how the astronauts going to the moon survived the trip through the Van Allen Belt. The astronauts don't answer the question.
We are stuck here on Earth. We'll go extinct (I'm pretty close).
That's the Universe we live in.
Here's what I know, and keep in mind my astrophysics professor in university (Larry Pinsky) did a study on the astronauts and their suits when they returned to get answers on this very question.
The Van Allen belts are most intense in a narrow band around the equator, thinning out above and below the ecliptic. The Apollo craft took a path above the central belts on the way out, and below them on the way back. This minimized their exposure to just a few hours overall the entire trip.
That said, the astronauts did complain quite a bit about "flashes" inside their eyeballs from cosmic rays hitting objects in the eye's fluids. Also, Pinsky found numerous microscopic "spikes" inside their helmets and other gear, caused by energetic particles puncturing the materials. They all got a good dose of radiation, though the human body is quite resilient. As far as I know, none of the Apollo astronauts had children after they returned, so in that regard we don't know what the effects were on their DNA in that respect. I do note that Aldrin is still kicking at a ripe old age, and most of them lived well into their 70s, so it couldn't have been too bad.
RFS: Thanks for your reply. It is the best answer I've heard to this Van Allen Belt radiation and the astronauts question. Did Professor Pinsky also measure solar radiation at the time of the astronauts going through the Van Allen Belts? If it had been me in the Apollo spacecraft, I'd have been wearing lead-lined underwear.
One of Pinsky's papers is here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.183.4128.957
I don't recall all the metrics involved, but as I remember, things like space weather were included, as were in situ measurements by devices on the spacecraft and lunar equipment, since cosmic radiation was a major concern. The translunar profile, if I remember correctly, was about 35 degrees, so think of a figure 8 tilted with respect to Earth's equator, so that the "hump" went over or under the hot band of the belts. Total transition through the belts was about 8 hours (4 out and 4 back). That was part of the decision to use a direct injection, rather than a longer looping trajectory.
Probably more than you wanted to know. :)
RFS: That's good info. The main thing to learn is that cosmic radiation was a major concern of the Apollo missions.
Yes, absolutely. The Van Allen belts were the first major discovery of the Space Age, with (I believe) the Echo I satellite. They knew there were large concentrations of charged particles in the belts, and that outside LEO (up to 400 miles up), cosmic radiation increased significantly, and they knew some of it was ionizing radiation (gamma/X rays, etc.), but we are still assessing the extent and evolution of the belts.
The Van Allen belts are a side road. The temperature in space is -250+K. On the surface of the moon with the sun hitting you you'd experience 200+Kelvin, while anywhere you are shadowed you'd experience -250K. If you've ever seen the ridiculous 'space suits' they try to tell you the astronauts wore, this proposition becomes laughable. They would have been frozen solid before they reached the Van Allen Belt. It's a silly story that people need to let go of.
Temperature has long been an issue with me. The LM, with nothing more than a layer or two of mylar skin, should have blown up like a balloon, while half the craft would have been roasting and the other half freezing. The materials engineering, thermal dynamics, and air pressure issues alone don't add up. And THEN there's the EVA suits. Many unanswered questions that will likely have to wait until the entire US archive is declassified.
Haha, yeah you'd have to figure there would literally be weather inside that capsule and probably violent at that. Hurricanes and tornadoes form with far smaller heat gradients
Deuce: Do you believe the space walks at the ISS are bogus, too? Just curious.
I don't even want to go down this road because I know what lies at the end, but I will make this definitive statement. The space station is for research. If the people who support the space station as a research facility don't want their research broadcast globally, then it's not gonna be. So you would expect, in the general sense, some subterfuge about the goings on on the space station. Do I believe it's there? Yes. I've photographed it. Do I believe people are on it? Yes. Do I believe that every piece of footage represed as coming from the space station is real and live and not staged? Not at all. For reasons that are very easy to understand. But floating around in low Earth orbit and traveling to other planets are entirely different things in every way and you cannot conflate one with the other. It's the first 1%. We can do one, but it doesn't automatically mean we can do everything else too. Far from it.
Deuce: Space in low Earth orbit almost as cold as space. I asked my friend at NASA about the space suits. They have small tubes of water in them that are heated or cooled as need be. The suits are also pressurized to keep the human body intact in the vacuum of space.
Yes, low Earth orbit and space travel are different things, but we are discussing the ability of space suits handling the extreme cold of space.
The math doesnt work out. What heats the water faster than it loses heat to space? On a 200+ degree gradient. How big is the heat exchanger for that? What are the power demands. Is the power source stored in the suit? It's utter nonsense. I don't care what someone at NASA said. The math isn't even close, just like it isn't close with 3 guys traveling 250k miles in a tin can at absolute zero. Just do the math and see that it's not even close. How do you take off and land in a vacuum? Thrusters thrust against air. How do you counter the gravity of a planet/moon accelerating you towards it from 10k miles out? The whole story is full of gaping holes whether or not you thought enough to ask. Yes we can launch rockets and fly around low Earth but everything else is some weird mix of sci-fi fantasy and co!d war propaganda.
Deuce: If a penguin can stay warm at -70F, I don't see why a space suit, pressurized slightly, with a battery power pack and tubes of some fluid couldn't keep an astronaut at the right temperature. We are just talking about the spacesuits here.
Radiation was the main concern. There is no way to protect the spacecraft or astronauts from cosmic radiation without thick lead shielding and that is too heavy for space travel.
All of the astronauts, and pilots at high altitude, are exposed to cosmic radiation.
Even without the radiation hazard, the capsules looked way too flimsy to insulate the astronauts from the cold of outer space. That would kill them within minutes.
"It is only one degree warmer than absolute zero or zero on the Kelvin scale – it is the lowest temperature that's theoretically possible. Outer space has a baseline temperature of 2.7 Kelvin, minus 453.8 degrees Fahrenheit or minus 270.45 degrees Celsius, according to LiveScience."
I am pretty sure all those aliens the US Defense department now reluctantly admits exist arrive via portals (wormholes), which we have not yet mastered, to bypass trips through open space.
The capsule actually heated to about +250F in sunlight, and -300F in shadow, so the solution was to roll the SM on a regular schedule. My question has always been, if space is a vacuum, how do you radiate heat? The only three solutions I can come up with are: 1) space is not a vacuum, or 2) technology was used that we peons don't know about, or 3) no one has gone into space. Take your pick (and show your work).
As for aliens, I suspect something like "spooky action at a distance" is their means of travel.
It is apparent by your writing that you are scientifically literate so I would have assumed you have some knowledge of engineering heat transfer.
There are 3 modes, conduction, convection, and radiation. In the not-quite-vacuum of space, conduction and convection may safely be assumed away. Radiation is it, and with space being very large and low energy, getting rid of heat is generally easy.
Getting heat is harder, but careful design with lots of layers of different types of insulation will allow it to be controlled in a habitable environment.
I do have some knowledge of black body radiation, thermodynamics, and related topics, but I am by no means an "expert". In my opinion, we peons haven't been fully informed on the nature of space itself, and certainly all the rubbish about space-time doesn't help. I suspect that the Universe is a plasma soup and that there is no true vacuum "out there," but until someone gives us all a little straight talk about the nature of Nature, we must contend with things that don't make sense.
For the record I agree it's possible but not in the capsule they claim to have done it in. That is the point and it's pretty clear that the capsule was not equipped this way at all. And rolling the capsule and countering the angular momentum would seem to consume a lot of fuel over ~250k miles. Where was that stored? Everyone has their pet explanation for all these little things but none of them are verifiably or realistically part of the thing that actually happened. Composite materials, capillary suits, magic thrusters, yeah great, but they didn't have or use these things in 1969. So if nothing fits it didn't happen. Everybody saw professional wrestling on TV and believed it was real. Except instead of wrestling it was some guys landing on the moon. There isnt nor ever was any reason for one to be any more believable than the other. Sorry
According to the Electric Universe model, the universe is 99% plasma and is not a vacuum.
My main question about the moon landings is how the return trip was done- how did the module return to the earth without a rocket to slow down/maneuver. I get that atmospheric friction would slow it down but was a parachute really all that was needed? This link suggests reentry is impossible- unless, of course, hidden technology was used.
https://www.heiwaco.com/moontraveld.htm
This has been an open question. The official explanation is that the capsule came in at 27,000mph, did an "S"-curve maneuver and used ablative shielding to shed velocity, deployed smaller drogue chutes to further reduce velocity, all before deploying the main chutes.
Now I've never done a deep dive into this problem and I know very little about aerodynamics. I believe Apollo 8 was the first to do it at full speed. In any case, EU theory says that Earth's electrical field would provide a repulsive force, however small, to further reduce velocity. Interesting question to ponder.
Unfortunately, we can't verify this independently although it's a seemingly plausible explanation. Another major reason to be skeptical of the Moon Landings is that everything was done so quickly- in less than a decade and without a hitch. If conventional technology was used and had to be developed within that timeframe, then likely it's all fake. OTOH, if the hidden PTB shared advanced technology with NASA then it's possible, of course. It's also possible outer space is very different than what mainstream science tells us. If the EU model is true or closer to the truth- then already most of what we think is wrong.
BerryFarmer: You make a good point. But people live in the ISS and it is very cold there. Hell, I don't know. I do have a friend whose father worked on the astronaut space suits for NASA. He told me that the suits were tested in liquid nitrogen atmospheres.
I don't really know but I don't know how penguins survive either.
To me, gravity is the biggest problem with space travel. Human bodies need gravity to survive. The astronaut who didn't land on the moon but stayed in the orbiter went the longest in 0 gravity.
ISS astronauts who return to Earth say it takes over a year to get back to normal in Earth gravity.
I've met a number of ISS astronauts - 2 who stayed 6 months there - and they are not fans of long-term weightlessness. The Apollo guys only spent a week to week and a half in space. The folks who stay there long term say it really messes with all your systems. I cannot see multi-year missions to Mars without some form of artificial gravity/centripetal system -- or some of that field drive stuff to cut the trip to hours.
RFS: I agree. A friend and I had a discussion about space travel and gravity. Counter-rotating modules would counteract the gyro effect but still, the centrifugal forces (fake gravity) would vary with distance from the center of the rotating modules.
I think you are right. Gravity is a propulsion (engine) problem and not a spacecraft (structural) problem. People just have to get to gravity faster.
I've been pondering this for a novel I'm working on. It is true that the full effect would be on the "floor" of the cylinder, while the hub would be zero-g. Also, the actual force would be a function of cylinder diameter and rotational rate. There's also the issue of lateral force similar to the coriolis effect, meaning it would be difficult to walk in a straight line along the "floor". Another option is using constant acceleration/deceleration to provide "gravity" along the vector centerline. And then there's field generators...
RFS: I watched a Sci Fi movie last year (can't remember the name) where acceleration and then deceleration was used to provide gravity in the spacecraft. I have no idea how to do the math on that or if it is feasible.
Field generators for gravity is an unknown field to me.
Okay, I subscribed at the founding level. RFS is interesting. I've known about the solar system entering the energetic part of the Milky Way for years. All of the planets are heating up.
The purple background is irritating but it's RFS' substack.
I'm still counting on Planet X to show up.
Some of my in-laws seem too large to exist in the Earth's current gravity.
Sometimes I think I'm losing the war with gravity myself.
The Planet X/Nibiru/Nemesis theory has been around a long time. Obviously, there's nothing in the public domain from Offishuldumb that helps in any way.
Personally, I'm keyed in on Van Flandern's Exploded Planet Hypothesis. He ran the orbits of several thousand comets and asteroids back in time, and they converged on a single point 3.2mya and 65mya, both of which line up with mass extinctions on Earth. There's also significant data from many bodies in the Solar System that suggest a huge explosion of some kind -- such as Mars' hemispheric dichotomy, which implies being "splattered" with debris, causing the planet to tip over to rebalance itself.
It boils down to us knowing precious little about our own backyard, and most of what we know is purposely jumbled and obfuscated by Offishuldumb. There's still plenty to explore right here on our own planet and moon.
Ha! Another Van Flandern fan! For anyone interested, his book at Amazon is highly recommended. Some really interesting ideas there:
link: https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Matter-Missing-Planets-Comets/dp/1556432682/ref=sr_1_1
As for the galactic current sheet, I am guessing that most readers here are familiar with Ben Davidson's "Suspicious Observers" YouTube channel.
RFS: Oh, I agree. I haven't read Van Flandem's EPH but it sounds reasonable. Who can explain Neptune's orbit?
Who can explain the Earth's moon? Why such a big moon for our little planet and why is it just the right size and distance from Earth to block the sun? (A solar eclipse is coming, yes?)
I'm surprised that life on Earth exists at all. Mars is a mystery. Why does Earth have a hot molten core and Mars does not? Does Venus have a hot core?
So many mysteries in our backyard indeed.
I liked reading "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein last year. Heinlein took physics in college. The gravity problem for space travel still hasn't been solved to my knowledge.
Purple? I thought it was dark grey, but then my eyes are just about shot. I'll see what I can do, the the light text on dark background does help me a lot.
Ah, so you are the subscriber! I saw that as I breezed through to check the comments and nearly fell out of my chair. My most humble and heart-felt thanks for your support. If you're ever in Indonesia and need a native guide, look me up.
All funds incoming are being socked away to do a livestream from the Java Pyramid, hopefully with the professor who dated it to 20,000 years ago and has been studying it for a number of years now. You now have Producer credit when that happens. A thousand thanks!
RFS: Yes, it is purple background but no matter. Whatever helps your eyes is fine by me.
I do not know the Java Pyramid.
You are more than worthy of my support.
One of my best friends worked in Jakarta for years. He ran a large resort there. The usual, golf, tennis, spas, hotel, etc. He liked it there as a "round-eye".
Steve got Dengue Fever. He told me that all the Asians have a blood type that wasn't compatible with his. Steve needed a blood transfusion.
A doctor at the hospital remembered that a Swedish woman had been there that day and was going home that evening. The doctor called the airport. An announcement was made. The Swedish woman came to the hospital (missing her flight), gave a blood transfusion to Steve and his life was saved.
Steve flew home to the States via private jet and now lives in California.
Steve liked Indonesians. The government is corrupt (whose isn't?)
Indonesia is a rich country with poor leadership. Hopefully your new President will turn it around.
Here's some info on the Java Pyramid (sorry about the Wiki link):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunung_Padang
Jakarta sucks - just another big city - but Indonesia is amazing. I fell in love with the place and have no desire to live anywhere else. Great people, incredible countryside, rich history, and vibrant arts.
About 10 years ago, I came down with amoebic dysentery, typhus and dengue all within the space of 6 weeks. Friends and family gathered to say goodbye and I spent 20 days in the hospital. But I guess I'm just too ornery to die, so here I am. Nothing as dramatic as Steve, though I've heard similar stories, but I had my liver vacuumed and spent 6 weeks having $100/day doses of a new antibiotic pumped in me. In any case, I made it. :)
RFS: Thanks for the link. What an odd archeological site. Why hexagonal columns? I've never heard of those before. Five terraces, five-sided columns?
You are lucky to be alive. I worked on a film in the Amazon for six months in 1990. One of the crew members caught Amoebic Dysentery. He damn near died. Had to be flown by private jet back to the USA.
Sanitation in Belem and on the jungle movie location was almost nil.
I don't think it's quite so dire, as these shifts probably take place extremely slowly from a human perspective.
That said, I think these Strange Energies from Space will also have other effects, as they are part of the 24,000 year Yuga cycle, as the Earth oscillates above and below the galactic plane, allowing for more direct exposure to emanations from the galactic center.
Long periods of time, yes, roughly 12,000 years, but from all appearances the crescendo may well happen in days to a decade. No one really knows, at least out here in the great unwashed. We note that the Bumbledicks are creating seed banks and digital libraries on the Moon and elsewhere. We also know that ancient people built vast tunnel networks in Europe and incredible stoneworks which were then buried on purpose. We further know that one good blast from the Sun and our entire technological civilization is gone overnight. In any case, we are being monstrously gaslighted by the Bumbledicks and the Space Goat Farts are already here, but there's reason to believe that on the backside is a new Golden Age -- whether one calls it Yuga or Great Month of Aquarius. All clouds are followed by glorious sunlight.
RFS: How many mushrooms do you put in your tea? I'm reminded of the Jack Nicholson speech to the Hispanic woman at his apartment door in the movie "As Good as it Gets".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbI6qTih2TI
"Take crazy someplace else."
Ha! Great flick. Depends on which kind of mushrooms you mean. My diet contains well over a dozen varieties, and I happen to love fungus, having even hunted them on many occasions. As for things sounding crazy, they do, but every single point I made was backed up a link to "official" sites, real studies and other solid information. If you are referring to the Yugas and the Great Year, I have past articles on these topics, again with the best reference materials I can find.
RFS: PS: You bought a Yugo? Good heavens! Which model year are you referring to?
I knew a guy who bought a Yugo, and regretted that decision every day of his life. I was a fan of pre-1980 American lang yachts - Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac. I was big on road trips, and I liked having a little acreage on tour. Come to think of it, I don't remember ever owning a car with less than 8 cylinders, 4 barrels and a 26-gallon tank.
RFS: I don't think I've ever even seen a Yugo. I had a 1968 or so green Olds 98? I'm not sure the model number or year, but it was a BEAST! In South Dakota at dawn when the roads in the countryside were empty, I got it up to 135 MPH.
Back at the farm, the Olds (which cost me $50) had no oil, water, and little fuel. It had all burned away at 135 MPH. But it still ran after I added oil, water, and gas once the engine cooled off. That Olds was a tank.
If I ever come across a Yugo with a good body, I'm going to drop a Hayabusa engine in it.
RFS: I admire your optimism about the future but don't get carried away.
Don't knock it until you've tried it.
Dave: I once was a "Cockeyed Optimist" but the trips to the clinic were painful.

I started tracking clif in July 2001, when George Ure posted a warning from some crank in the Pacific Northwest about a major event the following September. Needless to say, my library holds every issue of the ALTA reports, and some supplemental publications, as well.
Ha! I tumbled to him not long after you. Didn't subscribe to the ALTA reports, but I remember reading his site and thinking "this cat is crazy in all the right ways, I need to keep an eye on him". When he started releasing videos I really started paying attention.
