The monkeys in Douglas Munoz’s Kingston lab look like other monkeys.
They socialize and move around and eat and drink in the same way. They don’t fall over or stagger around. In fact, the only thing separating the macaques from their unaltered lab mates is the elevated level of a specific human protein implanted inside their brains — proteins that accumulate in the brains of humans with Alzheimer’s disease.
I met Christopher Booker briefly at the Climate Fools Day Event at the UK Houses of Parliament in 2010 and was struck by his humility and keen eye for detail. Having followed his work for a decade, it was very saddening to learn of his death.
The latest numbers from the CDC on the flu vaccine show that this year’s shots were only 9% effective against the current strain that popped up mid-season.
Every year, the Centers for Disease Control releases its data on how effective the flu vaccine has been for the previous season, and nearly every year, the numbers are disappointing.
A behavior control research project was begun in the 1950s, coordinated by the British psychological warfare unit called the Tavistock Institute, with the Scottish Rite Masons, the Central Intelligence Agency, and other British, U.S., Canadian, and United Nations agencies.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported the month of May was the second wettest and temperatures were in the bottom-third for its 125-year US history.
There is an intellectual orthodoxy being imposed by political figures, abetted by much of the news media. Certain viewpoints are forbidden — not simply regarded as wrong, but not permitted to be considered.
The history of climate scientists adjusting data to try to make recent warming look greater than it really is goes back quite a long way – it’s a regular topic at Paul Homewood’s blog for example.
But climate scientists continue to do it, giving the skeptics plenty of ammunition.
Abstract. Speculation has long abounded that the Biblical Ark of the Covenant may have been an electrical device, perhaps a capacitor, given its construction as precisely described in the Bible.
Its potential association as a container of monatomic gold, recently (re?)discovered accidentally as a potential superconducting powder with seemingly mystical properties, renders this as a possibility.

INTRODUCTION
Climate alarmists believe the world is warming, and that this is caused exclusively by man-made carbon dioxide. ‘Global Warming” is now stretched to Climate Change”, but it must be stressed that carbon dioxide can only produce warming: the deceptive change of name does not change the alleged process.
Our Scientists keep claiming that the Earth is getting hotter and hotter and that we humans must keep the temperature of the Earth within a 2º Centigrade limit, otherwise all sorts of disasters will befall mankind.
There are some technologies just now being presented to the public as “new” when they are not new at all but have simply been widely suppressed for decades.
If what some experts are telling us is true, a global food crisis appears to be inevitable. Even during good years we have a really difficult time feeding everyone on the planet, and now a major climate shift appears to be happening.
‘Dynamic Earth’ will explore the electrodynamic forces that may affect, shape and form the behaviour and regulation of geo-dynamic processes within and beyond the Earth.
