Stranger things

[Taomeow]

Comet Tsuchinshan, which showed up the last time 80,000 years ago and won't be visiting Earth for another 80,000, has become visible for the first time in our parts just yesterday.  Still a bit dim, but it will be getting closer, and accordingly look bigger and brighter, over the next couple of weeks. 

 

The strange part is this, from the official description:

 

"Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) on 22 February 2023 and it was also independently observed a few weeks before in January 2023 at the Tsuchinshan Chinese Observatory (Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences)."

 

Wait a minute...  Is my IQ going or is something else going, like the last vestiges of integrity in science?  How could it have been "also independently observed" a few weeks earlier?  Isn't it what they should call "it was discovered?"  Discovered at the Chinese observatory -- and anyone who later claims that they "independently" discovered the same thing should be considered the party  that "also independently observed?"   

 

Shit like that used to be all over Soviet sciences because Stalin tasked the PR branch thereof with establishing "we were there first" or at the very least "independently simultaneously" in every area.  That's why I, e.g., know a double name (just like Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) for a lot of physics and chemistry laws, psychiatric syndromes, inventors of the radio and the what-not -- the real discoverer's name and the Russian "independently observed/invented/discovered" one which no one outside that particular doctrine has ever heard of.

 

So uncooth. 

 

This is Tsuchishan over a museum in Balboa Park, San Diego, yesterday:

Halloween is still a couple of weeks away, but Halloween horrors have already begun.

In Ohio, a police officer got swallowed whole by a giant pumpkin.

Strange things happen in Ohio, all the time.

That's a heart attack waiting for a place to happen!  That is really dramatic, amazing impersonation of a spider.

Strange human behavior  . 

 

On the main road to my local town .

 

Junkie driving along .... Hmmmm, time for a hit , so he pulls off the road  just next to 'Rose's roadside home grown fruit and produce stall and car wreckers ' , just to the side of road , but still close to  it . He cooks up and has it ..... and nods off .   Bruce , the son that lives there and is the local school bus driver , looks out his window  and thinks 'Thats a strange place to park, and he has been there a while '. So he goes to look . Sees the guy has ODed , drags him out onto the roadside and commences CPR .

 

A car comes along driving east , sees this and OMG ! stops and gets out . She doesnt drive off the lane  and pull over , but stops in the middle of the lane just past them  . She doesnt move her car backwards or forwards to a more visible spot, puts her hazard lights  on, she doesnt park off the road and take up a position to flag down cars and warn them .

 

THEN another car traveling west does exactly the same !  Now both lanes are blocked with cars in the middle of the road ,  the junkies car next to them on the verge and a guy doing CPR on someone unconscious with two concerned onlookers  ...just over a crest

 

- you know what is going to happen next ...

 

Enter a friend of mine traveling east , approaching the crest and speeding up (as there is a 100kph  speed sign there  coming out of an 80 kph zone ) , he first notices a guy getting CPR on the roadside , " Shit ! Is that someone being resuscitated  on the road side ? " .. looks up ahead .... too late . He brakes and has to decide whether to go through the people or the cars ... cars of course . He smashes into the other two cars blocking the road ;  2 other cars and his GFs car that he was he was driving all smashed  ( but people uninjured ) .

Along comes another car .... stops, reverses , pulls over , puts hazard lights on, checks to see all are okay and walks to the other side on top of crest to  manually warn people to slow down , accident ahead .

 

... thank God ! 

 

If not for him, I wonder how many cars would have piled up !

 

( I dont know what happened to the junkie ? ) 

 

and for some reason I thought of more  strange human behavior ..... I remember when My wife turned off the lawn mower , was not sure IF the blades had stopped rotating  (as she wanted to remove caught grass from in there )  and put her hand under there to feel with her fingers if they where still going around ! 

 

( They where !  )

Highlights for me, that we often don't know the end result of our 'help' (or interference)... for us, or others.  Especially without presence and awareness...

Yalta, Soviet Union, August 1940, i.e. 10 months before the war.   It wasn't yet the city where Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin would be dividing the post-WWII world in 1945, just a resort on the Black Sea where fashion girls were ahead of their time.  

This is from someone's family album, the woman on the left is their grandmother.  Like many women then and there, she could sew.

Well, not so 'strange '  , but in the spirit of the above  ;

 

 

 

Bessie Stringfield (born Betsy Beatrice White; 1911 or 1912 – February 16, 1993) 

 

taught herself to ride at 16. At 19, she travelled across the USA, riding through the 48 lower states, Europe, Brazil and Haiti, earning money by performing stunts at carnivals. Bessie was refused accommodation and often slept on her bike at petrol stations because she was black. She was also denied prize money at flat track races because she was female.

 

When the war broke out Bessie enlisted as a US Army courier, tirelessly riding for four years and crossing the USA eight times. She was met with racism and was deliberately knocked of her bike by a guy in a pickup truck for being black in the south. Bessie moved to Florida where she was told black women aren’t allowed to ride by the police but rode anyway. Bessie eventually became known as the ‘Motorcycle Queen of Miami’ and was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

Holy Fahrenheit 451!  

[Taomeow]

Mainstream media -- which some started calling legacy media to differentiate from independent sources and social media -- 

and I just heard another term applied to them, deliberate media --

 

is a tool of destruction of the mind. The mythologies they create and maintain on a daily basis overpower normal human cognition --

as they are designed to -- and render it permanently abnormal.

 

In the 1960s, the KGB conducted a psychological experiment.  Every day in the course of the experiment, they relentlessly bombarded a  group of subjects with fear-based messages none of which were true or represented the actual facts about any real threats -- they were all made up, distorted, exaggerated, and so on.  Upon concluding this phase of the experiment, they then presented the debunking data, facts to the contrary of what the earlier brainwashing suggested.  What they discovered was that the brainwashing was irreversible and no amount of truth could shake the subjects out of their acquired fear-based beliefs, and it only took an average of 2 1/2 months to accomplish it.  Irreversible cognitive damage was done -- hardly distinguishable from any other kind of severe brain damage impairing one's ability to think outside the imposed narrative if the emotion behind it was fear.

 

Compared to today's brainwashing capabilities and their practical outcomes which are nothing short of phenomenal in the sheer number of brain-damaged individuals they produce and the depth and breadth of the damage, those KGB ghouls were angels of mercy.  After 2 1/2 months, they stopped.
