I am using the same computer I always use for this post, I am not using a smart phone, I am not using any kind of phone. The system is hijacked to make it look as though a phone was used for making this post. It is very difficult to find a text box to write in that is not hijacked, so I am trying this one, it may show up as though Sparacino of 545 Jackpine wrote the post, or, Monroe at 434 Jackpine could show as the place the that posted this. neither one is the author of the post.

It could show that Wesely Crowel of 549 Jackpine is the one who posted the information, but he is not the author of the information. So far, no one of official capacity has ever spoken with the author of this information in any way, not by phone, nor by email, nor by US postal mail, nor with response to this account at the place where messages can be sent at Tumblr. I only get one scary message that is about my children being safe, and far away, with no other information or contact from them in many years. A phone call from family is no good anymore, Screen Actor Guild has too many ways of manipulating the voices and words with combination of recordings, actors, and audio effects processors. There is no way to be certain who is on the calls unless they are saying some identifiable information that no one else could possibly have, and even then, that information will be recorded, and used as a way to fool everyone involved on a telephone call. Text message is absolutely useless for knowing who is on the other end of the message.

There is some good news, is probably a set-up though. I was able to access this text box for editing with my computer. Here is another screen shot of my computer as I write. I will open a Ten Codes tab at the top tabs to try to help identify what is what, and the time on the bottom.

Scroll down to see it at after three other photos of my computer screen.

11:38 pm:

I write. The page gets long. The part I already wrote inches up higher in the computer screen, up there, above the tool bar, out of sight, is where the terror bastards are changing what I wrote a moment prior to that. Then, I post what I wrote, then read it, to see that information was slightly changed, “The” gets inserted all over the place. Duplicates of the same same words are placed into the post, such as “same” that I did intentionally that time. Many small changes happen without my knowledge or consent. So far, I don‘t see any major changes in the archive, but, there are many there to look at for baby sitting. I cannot be expected to write the information necessary to save the whole world, and have to make sure that some asshole does not change it later on. If I change my access password, the keystroke recorder that is in the norton Life Lock product will just help the bastards know how I think when I choose passwords. When I access, I do not type in a password, and, I have never told the web browser to save my password for access of any of my accounts.They all open automatically, without password necessary, there is nothing I can do to change that from happening. It’s all wide open, no security of any kind, no privacy, no US national Guard.

That, and the sheriff broke my letter n on my keyboard when the broke down my door on June 15 to arrest me for stuff that did not happen, and a bunch of rock stars were killed inside the fucking jail with the weapons they were allowed to bring in there, to kill me with.

So, I am doing way more than should be required by any citizen, even in third world countries just to stay alive long enough to get a fucking message out in world filled with Smart Phones and communication technology. It’s all designed as counter productive, intentionally set up to prevent communication from occurring.

That, and I am a disabled man, with spinal injuries, and spinal fusion. I have a fucking metal plate that holds my head on, with four  bolts, so, tell the terror bastards that I will just dull their swords, and they won’t be able to kill me.

I am Disabled American Citizen... you better be scared of me. punk.

There are terror soldiers out by (my) cars in the front yard. It sounds like they are torturing an animal. It must be the Myers of Five-Six-Zero (560) Jackpine. That is how the Myers do terror, they come to the house, and kill something or someone as you watch, right there at the front porch after knocking, sometimes.

There might be a dead animal or person by my car when I go out there next time.

Juseph Myers

Kyle Myers

nora Lee Myers

Rita Myers’

Rena Myers

The scariest people on earth, hands down, there is no competition for that.

============

In case there are people fucking with my computer thinking that they are warning me about danger.... stop doing that. You are going to get me killed. just let me deal with it my way, without the distraction.

============================================

1-17-2021: 1:16 am:

A walk to the mail box was.... different.

It’s cold, foggy, I did not check the thermometer but guess that it’s about 32 degrees outside.

There were no dead animals or other bodies that could be seen on a walk to the mailbox in the dark.

There is someone from the Clyde Baum terror cell making signaling to others with owl calls. The “Whooo... whooo... whooo“ at Deitricks 601 or Taylors at 600 is a person, not an owl.

As I reached the mailboxes, where there is a communication device inside one or more of the mailboxes where terror soldiers have to stop to say who they are and why they are in the neighborhood, was used as a way to hear that I had reached the mailbox, as I closed mine, the sound alerted other terror soldiers who are behind my house and behind 520 right now. They are doing a terror scenario called “Hounds of the Baskerville’s”, a set of scary circumstance all roled out in effort to produce a victim in one way or another. The scenario includes that the sound of many coyotes could be heard yelling as they do. But, there are no coyotes in these parts of Oregon, so, the people who are able to make the coyote screams very well, are those who are from India, such as Nicole Sparacino is. I suspect the Sparacino’s are working with Clyde Baum, and someone from Dietricks to do the “Hounds of the Baskerville’s” terror murder scenario, however, Clyde does not seem to be staying at his own house lately. It seems as the terror cells have mostly all switched houses for the time being, as I mentioned last week or so. I suspect Clyde is staying at Dietricks 601.

Tonight the scenario includes a lot of set-up work at Monroe’s, where a whole bunch of three dimensional items are outside, arranged in a way the  (that) tells a story about rakes and pitch forks, shovels, dead wood, all wielded by creepy ness. There is no one there at exactly where all of that stuff is arranged, but there was someone closer to the road in the Monroe yard, making croaking frog sounds, such as those made by a Female Grommet soldier. (read about that here in this account somewhere else).

It was very dark outside.

I brought a super duty flashlight tonight, I rarely use a flashlight in favor of a Bic Lighter, and keeping my hands free for fighting.

I feel as though there is someone far away who is wanting some verification of events that took place many years ago, as is laid out in the Monroe three dimensional terror communication with use of rakes, pitchforks, shovels, shafts, stumps, wood rounds, a telescope, a camera on a log pointing at me, a large metal wagon wheel from historic wagon of some kind, a big dragon fly yard art, and a lot of other items all arranged so that I will tell about a time when my family and I fought against terror soldiers on horseback as the horses jumped the fence on attack by men with long horseman’s sabers. They had been attacking us daily, making us run to the house. One day, I prepared a defense, and we killed one horse and rider to my recollection. They stopped attacking by horseback, changed to a different attack plan after that.

So, if that is what is needed to know, then, yes, that is what happened so long ago with the men on horsback with long sabors, they may have been women, but I don’t remember and we did not do a pap smear to find out. The Monroe’s terror cell are getting the messages from somewhere far away, and arranging items in the yard, so that I will say something about it here. Each time I tell an anecdote, the story gets added to an existing data base of terror reporting and other personal information, all of which is used to hurt me and other people, is turned around backwards, and used to make me appear as a terrorist, while the terrorists take credit for the report, such as Clyde Baum has done with some intervention I did on at least two commercial airline flights, where my actions stopped a hijacking on board the plane... Clyde Baum gets the credit, the story got changed from the giant size of the truth, down to a much smaller, comparatively insignificant story about what happened on those airplane rides.

no one has ever spoken with me about any of that either.

One of the coyote’s sounded like Burt Dietrick. (WM, 45 y/o, 190 lbs. very full brown beard, short dark hair.)

The frog/Grommet soldier smelled like Theresa Sparacino. (India/w female, 18  y/o, long dark hair is dyed mostly in blonde streaks, 125 lbs.)

The Owl sounded like Clyde Baum. (WM, 60 y/o, short grey hair, 200 lbs, 5′9″)

The other coyote sounded like Nicole Sparacino. (India female, long black hair, predominant nose hook, may have vaginal/anal injury healed from sword fight long ago, deep voice, 5′10″ long skinny legs, 130 lbs)

I think Sean Sparacino is dead already but here is a description:

WM, 5′9″, 220 lbs, short butch hair cut most of the time, 42 y/o, has a hair lip, or cleft lip, or some other thing about his mouth, is fat, mass murderer, over 100,000 US citizens killed by Sean and Nicole Sparacino. Sean Sparacino may have a body alteration where he had his belly button removed, covered w/plastic surgery, presents himself to victims as “An alien being” points out that he has no belly button. Or, he uses make up for a the same effect.

===========================================

1-18-2021: 11:56 am: Additional:

Sparacino Belly Button Alien Terror:

I learned the (this) more than once. The latest time was around 2005-ish.

Use “Contemplating my naval” in place of “Belly Button“.

“Contemplating my naval” is a statement I have heard more than a few times. while on a phone call, and while in person.

Sean Sparacino uses a covered up, altered, plastic surgery belly button body enhancement to say the same thing, while pretending to be an alien from space.

My assessment is that there is at least one US Navy Serviceman “Partner”, “Companion”, “Side-Kick”, kidnapped victim of forced surgical alteration, somewhere nearby where I am. Most likely place closest is 507 (Five-Zero-Seven) Jackpine at Harold & Joan Phillips terror cell.

The subject matter is complex, dangerous, is scary, horrifying.

A “Partner” is often a victim who rides in a trunk of a car, or, is strapped to the bottom of a big-rig truck, or, strapped to the undercarriage of any vehicle... above the spare tire of a full size pick-up truck beneath the bed at the rear axle, is a place where “Partner’s” are put, attached to the vehicles. Their job is to use electronic blue-tooth communication device to stay always in contact with their captors who are driving the vehicles the “Partner’s” ride in and under. The captor’s do not speak English well enough to have a conversation, so, as an attack is happening, the Captor terror assassins need to engage in some kind of a set-up of a dialogue with an intended victim. The reason the dialogue is necessary is to ensure that the intended victim is not also a terror soldier, they are not uniformed, everyone looks like an intended victim, also, everyone looks like a terror soldier, so, the pre-attack dialogue is mandatory, and the “Partner” is the one who does the talking, from inside of a trunk of a car, or from beneath the undercarriage of a big rig or UPS, Fed-Ex, Bekins Moving truck, or while riding above the spare tire of a full size pick-up truck beneath the bed.

The point here is that anyone can be a “Partner”. They are surgically altered, amputated arms and legs, are small, fit in odd places, are strapped into odd places, and forced to communicate in English for their captors. If the “Partner” tries to make a cry for help, the captors will push the eject button while the vehicle is in motion. So, they are not likely to be doing anything other than exactly as they are told to do.

I suspect there is at least one US Navy partner around where I live.

I just got him killed with this post.

There is No Way To Get Help.

Josephine County Judge Lindi Baker and her husband Buck Baker keep, use, house, traffic, kidnapp, and help to produce “Partner” “side-kick” victims. Honorable Judge Baker had a “Partner” in the trunk of her car the day she was killed in defense at the AM/PM Luke’s Arco on Terry Ln. a couple of years ago. I demanded that she open her trunk when I heard the victim in the trunk, and she did open the trunk, the “Partner” escaped, Lindi Baker was killed, and the entire AM/PM staff and the staff at Fred Meyer Gas Station all began an emergency hunt for the escaped “Partner” victim, who scurried away as I was fighting with Lindi Baker that day.

I don‘t think the “Partner” was able to find help. no one has questioned me about why the judge was killed at the AM/PM.

Harrison Ford is a carpenter. He built the “Partner” kennels that the Bakers used at one of their properties on Upper River Road. They have other property also at Lower River Road, and at a remote cabin on the Illinois River west of Selma Oregon.

Buck Baker is in charge of all of the trucking that happens around here, from Salem Oregon to the California border, if it’s in a big rig, Buck Baker made it happen. He is still producing “Partners” who are transformed at “The Pleasure Dome”, a subterranean secret terror experimental surgery center in Medford Oregon built by Bill Gates in the late 1980′s and early 1990′s. The place is beneath a neighbor hood of houses, is not visible, a multi billion dollar endeavor made possible by Bill Gates.

Study this account to learn more, including maps and details about the mustard gas that is used for keeping prying eyes away.

Let me try a more graphically offensive means to get some attention here:

Twitter news media might say this next bit is a “V-Shaped Recovery” if they can get in contact with the Dog Catcher in the area where the Partner escaped captivity and is running amok, out of control.

That Afghan Hound is close to some of the finished products of the Pleasure Dome. Peter Fonda’s “Partner” looks very similar to that dog. Peter Fonda’s Partner would be mistaken to be a dog, before anyone will consider that the dog is a human being.

Yes, I am dead serious about that.

Human, US Citizen Children go in one end of the machine, when they come out of the machine, they look like that dog, if that is what the SAG Card Holder specified on the custom order sheet, such as what Peter Fonda ordered.

I have spoken with Peter Fonda’s Partner person victim at the Bi-Mart in Grants Pass, where they have parties, many SAG Card Holders bring their partners, for watching them fight to the death and betting, or for a Partner Sex Party.

Weapons are taped to the Partners, they fight, or are killed for refusing.

===========================================

==========

Also at Monroe there seems to be some indication of “Clearwater”. There is a composting company called Clearwater, they are said to use sewage waste mixed with other organic waste, such as yard and brush, tree trimmings and such for making a soil amendment product. They are likely to be a source of “V-8″ or “Red Hydroseed” where human beings are but into a giant blender and mixed with water and seeds, to be sprayed onto the hillsides as ‘Erosion Abatement” for the Department of Transportation, done by state contractors for a profit at State tax payer expense.

Millions of US Citizens were put into the giant blenders alive, ground up into pulp at the Walmart parking lot during a fake construction project there in around 2001 or so. My brother was put into the blender, he was alive, I watched it happen, but that was in Arizona after I had been told to come to his funeral, he was not dead, until I arrived for the fucking funeral. There was nothing I could do to stop a enormous Christian terror army who are all bent on global domination in Biblical way.

Rendata is the force behind Clearwater.

There is another place called Jo-Grow, I suspect they are also in the V-8 Business. Those are all the same people who are building the Cascade Public Storage near the Club Northwest Gym. Jo-Grow is a Josephine county government company located at the former county land fill, is now a Transfer Station. Too dangerous to go anywhere near the old dump anymore.

So, information spelled out with rakes and pitchforks at Monroe’s seems to ask for “Clearwater”, and honestly I don’t know that Clearwater recycling is actually involved in the V-8, but, i suspect they are, and, it’s really not my job to do that kind of investigative work, I am an old disabled man with many spinal problems, and am poisoned by the people who seemingly are of a subject of interest, by people who are in contact with Monroe terror cell at 434 Jackpine. Have them go talk to the folks at Clearwater, or at Rendata of Merlin Oregon if you need investigating done at that level.

I do know quite a lot about Clearwire, a cellular company that was hijacked by Sprint in a fake merger, I was heavily invested in Clearwire and lost a lot of money when the shit did not work out the way the contract said it was supposed work

Take a Picture; It'll Last Longer

Like many people, I took a lot of travel photos in Europe--like, a ton.

It’s taken me a total of 61 hours over a period of 9 months, but I finally have ALL of my travel photos edited and catalogued. 

Not only did I take over 4,000 images while in Europe for 18 weeks, but I sifted through all of them and narrowed them down to 2,250+ (not to mention about 500+ low-quality images from my smartphone) that were worth my time to edit in Adobe Lightroom (my software of choice) where I then spent those 61 tedious hours editing each one. This usually consisted of going through each photo, cropping it for better composition, messing with the sliders for white balance, exposure, light, clarity, focus, etc, using the adjustment brush to whiten teeth, rotating it so that vertical or horizontal lines would be straighter, exporting it into organized files on my computer. 

On average, I was able to edit around 45 photos/60 minutes (would that be 45p/hr (photos per hour?)). I listened to a lot of music and podcasts, which has had an interesting effect on my memory, where if I see certain photos I immediately think of specific songs or podcast episodes that were playing while I was editing those photos as well as original memories that come up as I am transported back to the moment the photo was taken.

Since they were uploaded in chronological order, editing them for the past 9 months has been like reliving the experience all over again. Having such a well-documented visual collection makes writing that much easier. I now have photographic evidence of how hard it was to get photos of certain things just the way I wanted them to be captured. I have 10, sometimes more images of the exact same thing, trying to get it just right.

(This is a before/after edit of a photo I took of a door in Strasbourg that I thought looked cool)

Don’t worry. I didn’t really do any severe photo manipulation. I didn’t photoshop pretty trees or birds in flight. It always bothers me when I see heavily edited photos on social media and see people comment on them with things like “wow, can you believe this exists in real life? How cool that this photo exists!” This is the same humbug attitude that I get when I see day-glo blue orchids in grocery stores and see people buying them and saying how beautiful they are and how amazing nature is. Yes, nature is amazing, but Phalaenopsis orchids in bright blue do not exist and are dyed artificially.

I probably annoy my friends because I’m always quick to point out that something is photoshopped. I don’t know if I do it more because I get a condescending thrill or more because I hate when gullible people are duped by people who have more information or skills than them. Either way, I want to be perfectly transparent with everyone when I say that my photos are edited. However, they are not artificial. Everything I’ve done is to enhance what was already there; to make the photo look more like what my physical eye saw that the camera could not adequately capture.

If you were to scoff and say “Well, a true photographer wouldn’t need to do all that post-editing to get a beautiful image,” you must not be a photographer. I’m not saying that I am either; I’m just an amateur who tries to capture things in an interesting way with very little formal photographic education. If you ever see an amazing photo on the internet somewhere, chances are you can achieve something very similar with an inexpensive camera and the ability to drag sliders around until it “looks good.” Of course, there are many other things that go into professional photography, especially if you are still using film or if you are doing HDR or manipulations. But don’t be discouraged if your photos don’t look as cool as a “professional’s”. 

When I was done with all my photos, I went back and looked at some of the first ones I ever edited and was surprised to see how “horrible” they looked compared to the ones I had finished more recently. One one hand, I was frustrated that I had to go back and re-edit some of them to bring them up to my current personal standards, but on the other, I was really pleasantly surprised to see how much I had learned about editing and software. Anytime I couldn’t get a photo to look quite right I would research the kind of effect I wanted, and these skills would compound and compound on each other until I had a toolkit that was much larger than when I first started. I guess I would be shocked if I went through editing 2,750 photos and didn’t learn anything from it.

Overall, I think the photos turned out well and I’m excited to share them all with you in the coming months.

Space system news

In latest achievements in space exploration case you are looking for the highest websites for house information then you have got numerous options to choose from. With a fast Google search, you'll get more than 1 million doable options. So how are you going to inform which of them are value your time? There are a selection of different things to contemplate, nevertheless two elements tend to stand out from the remaining. The information have to be current and constantly updated, and the website must be an authority on the topic. With that in thoughts, here are the four of the top web sites for area information that it is best to undoubtedly look astronaut newsround into.

1. Area.Com

It is smart. In order for you news about area, then Area.com ought to be capable of present the goods. Area.com was first launched in 1999 and is now considered to be the number one source of news for sky-watching, astronomy, area exploration, and commercial spaceflight. They have wonderful, in-depth articles, interviews, and videos that anybody can access. Additionally, Space.com is often featured by the most well-liked online information retailers embody Yahoo! Information and MSNBC. This website is maintained by the Tech Media Network, which also manages different extremely common websites like TopTenReviews, TechNewsDaily, LiveScience, and OurAmazingPlanet.

2. UniverseToday.com

While UniverseToday.com could have probably the most primary look, it's definitely an excellent source for every type of space related news. The content on the web site is certainly by no means in query. This can be very well timed and effectively researched. If you need a easy web site to offer you each day updates about information regarding area then is a superb site for you. The one noticeable downside is that it may be difficult to navigate at occasions, and some people think that it's a little heavy on the commercials. Nonetheless, the wonderful content simply overcomes these points.

3. SpaceRef.com

SpaceRef.com was created by SpaceRef Interactive out of Toronto, Ontario. This website offers numerous distinctive advantages by way of a space information web site. Not only is it a wonderful resource on its own, but it additionally connects you to other excellent space related web sites inside their family of websites. These sites embrace NASA Watch, OnOrbit, SpaceRef Canada, and Commercial Area. Plus, they have a wonderful e-newsletter that you could sign up for. It will deliver the highest area information tales to your inbox each day. That is particularly useful should you do not comply with RSS feeds, however still wish to get the top area associated news on a regular basis.

four. Science.NASA.Gov

If you're talking about the top web sites for space news, then you can't forget about the NASA web site. This web site is unique for a number of causes. The first is that along with offering you SpaceTribune with up to the minute news about house, it additionally options distinctive evaluation from NASA researchers and in addition has sections devoted to educators, college students, and children.

Do you know that of NASA's $20 Billion a 12 months finances, that $2 Billion or 10% of it's dedicated to Local weather Science. It's true. NASA has at all times spent a percentage of its finances on Earth Sciences, however that percentage had increased under Jim Hansen's path and he had mates in high what's going on in space tonight locations, like Al Gore. Underneath the Obama Administration Local weather Science became a precedence and focus. There was turmoil inside the ranks at NASA with directors, scientists, and even astronauts, as many famous that analysis knowledge was being manipulated for the global warming agenda.

Why is NASA involved within the agenda of Climate Change? Because the Obama Administration, Gore, Hansen wished them to be, taking a portion of NASA off its mission - we must astronauts names always have individuals on Mars by now, that's what was purported to happen once I was rising up. NASA became a bureaucracy, purchased into the area truck program - shuttle.

Is NASA's Earth Science analysis worthy? Effectively, the distribution of ice is a vital subject, yes, after all, however why is that NASA's job. NASA had a chance to check ice (each H20 and dry ice) on Mars, and indeed that might have been appropriate, especially if they wanted to search out life, however they keep touchdown rovers in the course of nowhere. Any life would not appear to be on the floor, it is underground, microbes, and many others. There are historic photos of enormous components of Antarctic with very little ice. NASA additionally spends too much time on the Greenland glacier soften, probably for the dramatic video impact, of huge water flows.

Can we trust the misuse of the NASA manipulated data on climate science? No, but we should save that information and carefully analyze its flaws. We all know the data is misused in the climate science fashions. The primary pc modeling had FL underwater by now, climate cliff, it was over, all downhill from here? That was nonsense, now it is claimed that they have reading plus level k what's going on in space many climate models and conform to the average or range, conveniently throwing out any that aren't in that vary as statistical anomalies, guess which of them? Making an attempt to quell scientific dissenters hitting them over the top with a fictitious hockey stick simply previous to an IPCC meeting did not help the trigger [cite: Richard Mueller paper].

So where are we at now? Well, the Republican run legislature wants NASA "to get again to house" and there was an attention-grabbing article lately titled;

"Republicans Intention to Prioritize NASA Space Exploration Efforts Over Environmental read more on wikipedia here Analysis," by Haley Byrd on 2-17-2017. The article famous:

"Republican lawmakers have begun working to fund space exploration projects over environmental analysis throughout the Nationwide Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Home Science, Area, and Technology Committee held a hearing on the way forward for NASA on Thursday morning. Two former astronauts and two other NASA consultants testified earlier than the committee.

Mercury Information reported in the San Mateo County News part December 2, 2010 "Arsenic is notoriously poisonous to virtually all forms of life. However an organism found in the mud of California's Mono Lake can stay and develop solely off this deadly chemical - elevating hope that similar creatures might exist in much more hostile environments, removed from planet Earth.

It's arduous to miss the time period "raising hope" in this piece as a result of that's what the invention is being milked for by NASA and other organizations. you can look here The outdated one small step for man clich? has emerged but as soon as again and is being adopted by one large leap of the imagination.

Regardless of the handful of alleged examples of lacking links between man and beast we're still waiting for some proof of say, a pair hundred or just a few thousand of the remainder of the lacking hyperlinks that should abound just about in every single place on earth. Low estimates would have the stays of all of the missing links stacked in a heap that may reach to the moon and back. You remember the moon the place the giant step for mankind took place?

However like the unique exaggeration the missing hyperlinks in the grand opera of evolution stay missing and the means by which to prove science's newest claim stays missing as nicely.

The dismal failure to account for the actual origins of life on earth is anything however one small step for mankind. Even with the jury still out on that grandiose pseudo scientific Space Tribune astronaut news bit of hyperbole we now dare to cast our imaginations to the heavens at the discovery of an arsenic utilizing microbe found in considered one of California's many lakes.

Fox News aired the announcement with most of the revered scientist paneled and able to attest to their new findings however needed to make an extended pause as the names of each scientist was appendaged with a very long list of letters, positions and educational backgrounds which after all was learn in full. Was NASA buying time to prep the rockets that would be sent to check it out in say, some planet about 50 million mild years from earth? Yeah, that is hopeful too.

There is little doubt that whereas NASA appears to the arsenic hungry creature of the lake each evening upwards of 60 % of the world's kids go to mattress without a lot as a morsel of bread. We can't advise them to eat cake and unlike the California microbes they can't assimilate arsenic. Will the discovered scientists forgive us if we seem detached to their latest rant?

The "blessed hope" of the bible's Titus 2:thirteen is still scoffed at by most empiricists but the believers remain undaunted. Greatest estimates for the return of the Lord among eschatologists' Space Tribune Social Profile Here are between 2 and 10 years from now. Setting aside my own bias for the eschatological view, the question of which group might be first to see proof of their beliefs is a no brainer.

Oddly, Bible thumpers have never denied that there is life past earth. They've for known causes concluded that it's further-celestial not extraterrestrial life. With over 70 % of People believing in the return of the Lord we'd as well just relax and never get too spooked about some poison eating microbes in a lake in California.

In case you're wondering the lake shouldn't be within the Hollywood space the place other species have been known to outlive on a food regimen or chemical input of poisonous and lethal poisons the place they not only survived the poisons but managed to spread them around profusely.

It has been recognized that there are numerous theories related to the 2012 doomsday that originated from the good Mayan calendar system. There's the polar shift. There's the idea of alien attacks. There's british astronaut bbc news the Holy Bible signs. There's an upcoming plague. There's this planetary alignment factor and other stuff. Add to that checklist is the existence of the so-known as Planet Niburu or Planet X 2012 NASA.

This Planet Niburu concept bought its roots from the Sumerian delusion whereby the Sumerians have stated to have discovered a planet that is heading in direction of the route of Earth. It is mainly going to hit our planet and this was predicted to occur final Could of 2003, however identical to the Y2K news back in 1999, nothing occurred. So impulsively, the new date is now December 21, 2012, therefore the name, Planet X 2012 NASA.

The Planet X and NASA half was derived from the usual process of naming newly-found planets and the default identify used by NASA is Planet X. However, some folks nonetheless seek advice from that planet as Niburu. When this Planet X collides and even simply passes the Earth at far, main catastrophic adjustments will happen in line with some.

In different versions, this Planet X 2012 NASA isn't actually a planet but simply an asteroid, although it's still aptly named so. The story is quite the identical wherein this asteroid/planet will go on a full affect with Earth wiping your entire page human race and other residing issues similar to how that asteroid made the dinosaurs extinct sixty five million years in the past. Nonetheless, scientists and astronomers especially those behind NASA consistently say that that is highly unlikely.

Furthermore, they have stated that they have deployed house equipments and tools that detect huge asteroids which may http://www.spacetribune.com/ be heading in the direction of our planet and so far, there is not any such citing and no evidence of its existence.

One other version states that it is a star or a brown dwarf which will set off harmful phenomena even by simply passing by. However, the potential for an impact continues to be there. Some say that this can be one other form of a solar that is actually orbiting past our photo voltaic system and that it is time to orbit previous us is on the upcoming yr 2012. When it does, it will affect most planets including ours, the Earth. As talked about, pure disasters of epic proportions will take place and smash every thing.

These are three hottest theories and variations regarding Planet Niburu or Planet X 2012 NASA and the way it links to our supposed 2012 deadline. As the year attracts nearer, increasingly stories have appeared and for some, it just gets actually confusing and arduous to believe something to begin with. Effectively, it is not likely what you consider but what you realize that matters. That is why lots of people still explore particulars, take a look at information, read info and collect info regarding 2012 though they do not believe on the concept that a lot. It's the only way they can be absolutely prepared in case - if they are that well-knowledgeable and skilled.

Man with magic wand threatens Universe; it doesn’t do wood

No time for some fancy intro, today, folks. Barely time to point out the Nu!Who reference in the title for those who don’t get it. We’re hitting the ground running with a large fragment of space potato.

That is one huge meteorite fragment (not a meteor, because it hit the ground*), but nowhere near on par with the largest ever discovered. No one’s claiming that it is, of course. I just like talking about space...

The 2.7 meter-long Hoba meteorite in Namibia is the largest fragment in the world, weighing in at about 60 tons (down from an estimated 66 tons due to a century of erosion, scientific sampling, and evil tourists):

If we can step it down a notch (technically 2 notches) and head over to the American Museum of Natural History, we can look at the 34-ton Ahnighito, the largest on display in any museum:

These (and other) large meteorites all fell a long time ago, not in a farmer’s back yard in the 1960′s. There haven’t been any impacts that grand in thousands of years. There have been - of course - infamous air bursts, like the Tunguska event in 1908 and Chelyabinsk in 2013; however, those large space potatoes (the former much larger than the other**) didn’t hit the ground. They would have done far more damage if they had. 

True impact events - especially ones that manage to not hit the ocean - leaving significantly large fragments are certainly rare. I turn you to an event from 2007 near the Peruvian village of Carancas (not too far from Lake Titicaca). The meteorite left a crater over 13 meters across (44-ish feet), but started out as 0.9 - 1.7 meters in length. Not a fragment that could be lugged back to Reed’s lab - the one that hit the ground in the first place. In order for there to have been a rock measuring 2 or so meters across left, the original must have been significantly larger, and therefore left a much, much larger crater.

The Holsinger meteorite is the largest fragment excavated from Barringer (i.e. Meteor) Crater and isn’t quite 1 meter long (and thus still smaller than what we’re looking for). The crater its parent rock left is 1.2 km (0.74 mi) across and 170 m (560 ft) deep, to say nothing of the shock wave from the sheer energy of the impact those 50,000 years ago.

That poor farmer...

However, we must move on to the main story. The fact that Reed finds “a dehydrated acorn”-like lump inside of it in no way comes up later in the story (Though side note, he says “this proves that some form of life must exist in outer space”, as if he hasn’t traveled to other planets and witnessed them first hand or done battle with the Skrull more than once). Uatu the Watcher (first featured in Fantastic 4 #13) needs their help; some under-appreciated scientist schmuck has gone and gotten himself shot with a mysterious “atomic device” and is now the ultimate threat to everything.

Because he can, quote, “control every molecule in the universe”.

Here’s the immediate next panel:

Let’s ignore the fact that Johnny has failed (or is currently failing) his high school chemistry class because he doesn’t know what a molecule is. Clearly, the writers of this comic are trying to educate their (likely young) readers, which I applaud. However, Reed - a man who keeps showing he doesn’t know as much about science as he thinks he does - defines a molecule as “the smallest groups of atoms which compose any element”.

This is wrong.

An element, by definition, is a species of atoms that all have the same number of protons (and therefore act similarly, chemically***). All the atoms in the Universe that have exactly 1 proton - the element Hydrogen. All the atoms in the Universe that have exactly 42 protons - Molybdenum. If an atom of Carbon-14 has one of its neutrons turn into a proton****, it is no longer Carbon - it’s Nitrogen. Currently, humans have managed to identify or create 118 different elements, though only 90ish have a version of them (aka an “isotope”) that have stable nuclei.

Atoms of the same element can bond together to make a molecule (e.g. Oxygen gas, which is made of two atoms of oxygen); atoms of different elements can bond together to make a molecule (e.g. carbon dioxide - one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms). A “molecule” is roughly defined as an electrically neutral group of atoms bonded together (as in sharing electrons, not by, say, a hot glue gun), but if you get more technical we exclude compounds where you can’t identify the bonds between the ‘molecule’ and bonds between it and other equivalent units. 

[Take sodium chloride (NaCl), for example - the strength of the Na-Cl bond is basically identical to the bond between the Na and a Cl in the NaCl next over. A chunk of sodium chloride is effectively one giant molecule. So, technically, NaCl isn’t a molecule; it’s a “formula unit” - it represents the ratio of sodium to chloride ions in a salt crystal.]

Molecules do not “compose” elements. Atoms compose molecules. Reed could have said the word “compound” instead of element and would have, in general, been correct. A compound, in chemistry, is any substance consisting of 2 (or more) different types of atoms in a fixed proportion (e.g. water is always 2 H to 1 O). This groups together molecules and formula units, but excludes single-atom formula units like graphite/diamond (pure C) and alloys (which are mixtures of substances).

If you come across a lump of matter, you can follow a flow chart to figure out what to call it (Yes, I did just take a photo of my Freshman Chem textbook. I spent way too much money on it so it’s going to get used...):

Elements and Compounds are both considered “pure” substances because you can use a single chemical formula to describe what they’re made of (e.g. diamond: C, and sucrose: C12H22O11).***** 

If a man can control molecules, he can’t “control everything”. Because molecules don’t make up everything. In addition to all the atoms that aren’t involved in molecules (e.g. Molecule Man shouldn’t be able to control any metal), there are other particles out there in the Universe (like photons or cosmic rays) - not to mention really exotic stuff like degenerate matter - that he has no control over, either.

As it turns out, Molecule Man’s powers never actually manifest from himself - everything he does comes out of his magic (I’m sorry, “molecular”) wand. With it, he turns a bunch of bricks into a propeller-bladed fan and pulls a lot of stuff out of thin air.

I mean that literally.

This clearly violates his supposed powerset, as air is very much incapable of becoming a permanent magnet. He’s clearly transmuting elements from one type of atom into another, which is not controlling molecules.

These magnets somehow latch onto the very non-magnetic Reed - one to his feet and the other to his hands - and Molecule Man claims they’ll repel each other because one is positive and the other is negative.

This is wrong.

First, every magnet must have at least 2 poles (i.e. one positive end and one negative end). If you break a magnet in half, you don’t separate the positive and negative ends from one another. You create two new dipole magnets, each with their own N/S. Magnetic monopoles are a theoretical concept; there is no experimental evidence that they actually exist. Even if they do, they certainly don’t look like horseshoes.

Second - opposite poles ATTRACT. This man was a scientist!

This man is, indeed, a terrible scientist. He also thinks “electric molecules” are a thing (He shoots the Thing with some bolts of lightning that come from a lightbulb-filled billboard), and that lead and zinc are molecules.`*

But he’s enough of a nuisance that the F4 have to retreat. Molecule Man commands the city’s population hunt them down, and encases the island of Manhattan in a glass cage (by “[rearranging] the molecules in the air”...*sigh*). Our family of superheroes hide out at Alicia’s place, where Reed has the epiphany that the Molecule Man can only control inorganic matter.

“Organic” is an incredibly arbitrary label that humans have imposed on a particular group of molecules that always have carbon atoms in them and can be produced by or found in living things (but don’t have to be`**), but excludes some molecules that contain carbon and can be produced by living things (like carbon dioxide). There’s no scientific reason Molecule Man’s powers would have such a rule imposed upon them, because we created the concept of organic molecules (Maybe his powers could not affect living things, but that’s not the same as “organic” by a long shot. For example, propane fuel? Organic.)

But Reed’s right - he has Alicia cover all four of them in a thin coat of plaster and call for Molecule Man to come and observe her “tribute” to him. When he tries to manipulate the statues (Why he can’t do anything to the inorganic plaster, no one says...) some sort of painful feedback forces the wand from his hand. Uatu decides he’s not technically interfering by merely picking up a defeated baddie, and collects our physics-violator while inexplicably leaving the wand on Alicia’s apartment floor.

Oh. So I guess the wand’s useless, now. Why did Molecule Man even need it in the first place!?

This man confuses me so much...

* Space potato terminology mini-lesson: Asteroid - A large rocky/metallic body in outer space, not massive enough to gravitationally collapse upon itself to form a sphere. Meteoroid - A small (grain of sand to 1 meter wide) rocky/metallic body in outer space Comet - A small icy (and somewhat rocky) body in outer space Meteor - Any of the above that enters the Earth’s atmosphere, heating up to the point of glowing Meteorite - The portion of the meteor that impacts the Earth’s surface, rather than desintegrating Meteorwrong - “the ones that miss” ~Carlos Ramon, The Magic School Bus Gets Lost in Space

** Chelyabinsk’s rock started at roughly 20-meters in diameter before getting pulverized into tiny pieces by exploding in the atmosphere. Tunguska could have been anywhere between 60 and 190 meters depending upon whether it was mostly iron or stony. There’s a (generally disproved) theory that a 10-meter fragment of the Tunguska meteor survived to hit the ground, creating a lake roughly 8 km across.

*** Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons, like Hydrogen-1, which has no neutrons, Hydrogen-2 (aka Deuterium), which has 1 neutron, and Hydrogen-3 (aka Tritium), which has 2 neutrons. But they all have 1 proton. Chemical reactions concern the electron(s) in an atom, not the nucleus, so unless the number of neutrons makes everything unstable (i.e. radioactive) there’s effectively no difference. There is an exception in heavy water (which has two Hydrogen-2 atoms bonded to the Oxygen instead of Hydrogen-1), which is toxic to lifeforms in large concentrations. A regular glass of tap/seawater contains ~156 H-2 atoms per million H-1 atoms, but if you drank a glass of pure heavy water, the fact that H-2 is twice as massive as H-1 messes with how the water molecules interact with one another, and therefore messes up various biochemical processes. 

**** Plus an electron, plus an anti-electron neutrino.

***** “Pure” is idealistic, of course. No glass of water will be made of 100% water molecules. 

`* Lead and zinc, of course, are elements. They’re right there on the periodic table. Though lead is abbreviated Pb for the Latin plumbum so that might take you a moment.

`** Like, of all things, urea - the main component of urine.
