ATLANTIC, Va. — NASA scientists are using former military surveillance drones to help them understand more about how tropical storms intensify, which they say could ultimately save lives by improving forecast models that predict a hurricane’s strength.

The unmanned Global Hawk aircraft were designed to perform high-altitude, long-endurance reconnaissance and intelligence missions for the Air Force. Two of the original Global Hawks built in the developmental process for the military have found new life as part of NASA’s research mission, studying storms that form over the Atlantic Ocean. NASA planned to launch one of the drones from its Wallops Flight Facility on Wednesday to study Tropical Storm Gabrielle, which re-formed in the Atlantic on Tuesday.   Continue reading “NASA Weather Drones: Scientists Launch Unmanned Aircraft To Study Storms”

One year ago, Mars One announced big plans for the Red Planet: a human settlement. The colonizing mission, planned for 2023, would be stylized like a reality TV show, but with the added drama that its participants, the would-be first humans to set foot on another planet, will never get to go home.   Continue reading “More than 200,000 people apply for a one-way trip to Mars”

A recent weapons purchase by NASA piqued the interest of some of my readers, prompting questions such as, “What is NASA doing with assault rifles?”  In post 9/11 America, no self-respecting federal agency — from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Department of Education — can exist without its own SWAT team.   A strong trend of militarizing law enforcement has been occurring for some time, and if this is a surprise to you, its time to catch up.  Yes, even NASA has a SWAT team, and you may be surprised with some of their assignments, which include militarized perimeter security and robbing grandmothers of heirloom decorative paperweights.   Continue reading “Why does NASA need a SWAT team? To steal moon dust from retirees!”

Xinhua, Sept. 11, 2013: […] “TEPCO can no longer effectively clean, filter and store the massive amounts of radioactive water on its site. At some point in the near future — and this may have happened already — the utility will simply resort to emptying its radioactive tanks into the Pacific Ocean,” [Shoji Tsurumi, an expert from Japan’s Marine Science & Technology Institute] said. “They will simply run out of other options to store such huge quantities of water.” “Perhaps this is another reason the government is keeping its distance. After all, if the government were to take responsibility for dumping toxic water into the ocean, who would it have to blame when the global backlash came?” Tsurumi said.   Continue reading “Japan Marine Expert: Fukushima radioactive tanks may have already been emptied into Pacific Ocean”

The 12th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks are slated to be a less than solemn affair, as protests, counter-protests and a ‘Rethink 9/11’ ad campaign have all been scheduled to capitalize on the sacrosanct day in the US calendar.

From a 54-foot billboard in Times Square asking Americans to reconsider 9/11 to a ‘Million Muslim March’, this year’s anniversary of twin tower attacks stands out as potentially the most controversial on record.   Continue reading “Hijacking 9/11: Protests, ad blitz set for 12th anniversary of attacks”

I have been writing about a potential war against Iran and Syria for several years even though I have always said there would be no war as most have imagined it would be. I have noted with interest the resistance of the US military to the suicidal warmongering of the Bankers who think they own the government.

The American Empire was given to the American Branch of our Banker Occupied Government. They had accepted the mantle of enforcer for the World Council, an interlocking board of controlling interest which includes the Rothschild network, the British royal family, the Black Nobility and their associates. The Black Nobility refers to the nobles of Europe who sided with William of Orange, the Dutch Prince who became King of England and Ireland. He brought fractional reserve banking from the Netherlands. This system had previously ruined the people of Venice in 1348 but the Bankers escaped and moved to Holland.   Continue reading “A Crashing Dollar Is Designed To End The American Empire”
