If readers don’t know what the planet’s hydrologic cycle is, here’s a brief description.

Basically, it is the continuous flow cycle how water is circulated throughout the Earth and the atmosphere.  It is the process by which water reaches humans for consumption and the watering of all plant life.  The hydrologic cycle consists of various forms of precipitation, i.e., rain, snow, sleet, fog, dew, etc., and evaporation.  A most important aspect of the hydrologic cycle is evaporation, i.e., water is lifted from large bodies of water through evaporation; that water vapor condenses to form clouds.  That’s where weather geoengineering enters the picture regarding the hydrologic cycle.   Continue reading “Is The Planet’s Hydrologic Cycle Screwed Up By Weather Geoengineering?”

Nick Andes was placed on administrative leave this week, and Carter County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Thomas Gray confirmed that an investigation is being launched into accusations of misconduct after a 911 caller accused “a man with a badge of pulling a gun and throwing a 10-year-old to the ground,” and named Andes as the suspect.  Continue reading “Cop Who Allegedly Held 10yo Boy at Gunpoint, Was Previously Fired for Excessive Force”

Many were hoping that once Barack Obama was out of office we would see less of this Big Brother surveillance nonsense, but instead it seems to be getting even worse.  In fact, the Department of Homeland Security has just announced that it intends to compile a comprehensive list of hundreds of thousands of “journalists, editors, correspondents, social media influencers, bloggers etc.”, and collect any “information that could be relevant” about them.  So if you have a website, an important blog or you are just very active on social media, the Department of Homeland Security is going to put you on a list and will start collecting information about you.  The DHS has already announced that it will hire a contractor to aid in monitoring media coverage, and they will definitely need plenty of help because it is going to be a very big job…   Continue reading “The Department Of Homeland Security Plans To Compile A List Of All Bloggers, Journalists And “Social Media Influencers””

The Council on Foreign Relations delivered an Orwellian presentation recently that unsurprisingly went unnoticed in the mainstream media, in which CFR’s Richard Stengel forwarded the notion that governments “have to” direct “propaganda” at their own domestic populations.

The Council is recognized as one of the United States’ oldest and most establishment think tanks of the American power-elite, and it often sets the agenda on important policy questions—or, as former senior editor at the Washington Post, Richard Harwood, in a column entitled “Ruling Class Journalists,” approvingly described the Council as, the nearest thing we have to a ruling establishment in the United States.”   Continue reading “Council on Foreign Relations Tells Gov’t They “Have To” Use Propaganda on Americans”

GENEVA (Reuters) – Poverty in the United States is extensive and deepening under the Trump administration whose policies seem aimed at removing the safety net from millions of poor people, while rewarding the rich, a U.N. human rights investigator has found.

Philip Alston, U.N. special rapporteur on extreme poverty, called on U.S. authorities to provide solid social protection and address underlying problems, rather than “punishing and imprisoning the poor”.   Continue reading “America’s poor becoming more destitute under Trump: U.N. expert”
