Month: December 2024

  • 2024’s last gasp

    2024’s last gasp

    As if we needed one more reminder of the whirlwind that was 2024, here’s another reflection to add to the mix.

    New Year’s has a way of stirring thoughts about the generations that have come and gone—their visions of the present, their reflections on the past, and their dreams for the future. It’s incredible to think that we are now 100 years removed from New Year’s 1925.

    A few people born in that year or earlier are still with us, but as time marches on, they too will fade away. Soon, there will be no one left who experienced the world as it was a century ago. Unless groundbreaking advances in life-saving technology emerge, the reality is that 100 years from now, those living then likely won’t know we existed, and we will no longer be here.

    DUALITY OF TIME

    This duality—the fleeting nature of our existence and the enduring march of time—is both the nostalgia and joy of New Year’s. It reminds us that life continues, that humanity perseveres despite the challenges and calamities the planet throws our way. Yet, that same nostalgia carries a bittersweet feeling. The darkness of memory lingers in our hearts, and while it can be a source of warmth, it can also lead to melancholy. We’ve all had moments where nostalgia pulls us into sadness, sometimes even depression.

    But that’s the magic of midnight. At 12AM, nostalgia steps aside to make room for the promise of something new. Whether you celebrate by kissing a loved one, hugging friends and family, or standing quietly under the night sky, the moment is yours to own. Midnight wipes the slate clean like a Catholic Church confession.

    RESOLVE TO RESOLVE

    Resolutions may be famously short-lived, but why not aim to keep a few this year longer than the normal time frame? Pause and consider that the feelings you have now—the hope, the uncertainty, the optimism—aren’t so different from those felt by people ringing in 1925. As their clocks struck midnight, they celebrated with the same belief in the possibility of brighter days ahead. History has since painted the realities of their time, but in that moment, they, too, embraced hope.

    As we step into 2025, let’s hold onto that same belief. We will persevere as we always do. And when the clock strikes midnight next December, we’ll likely find ourselves saying, “Thank God 2024 is over,” just as we will for 2025 and the years that follow. Because that’s what we do as human beings. We endure. We hope. And we keep moving forward, whether it’s 1925, 2025, or 3025.

    Here’s to embracing the passage of time, to holding onto hope, and to welcoming the future with open arms.

  • Ending the year with #Fogvid24

    Ending the year with #Fogvid24

    As we close out another year, it seems we’re once again diving into an online frenzy of conspiracy chatter. This time, it revolves around reports of a peculiar weather anomaly affecting various parts of the globe.

    The Mysterious Fog.. across Earth.

    Thick fog has blanketed Ireland and other parts of the United Kingdom, while several states in the United States have also reported strange, dense fog formations. Florida, in particular, has allegedly been shrouded in this fog for weeks, leading some to dub it a “perpetual victim.” These reports have sparked widespread curiosity, with some dismissing it as a seasonal occurrence, while others dive deeper into speculative theories.

    Here’s some fun speculation on a Reddit thread.

    While meteorologists note that fog formations like these are not uncommon during certain times of the year due to specific atmospheric conditions, the sheer consistency and unusual behavior of this year’s fog have caught attention.

    The phenomenon seems to extend beyond the United States and the UK, with reports of persistent fog cropping up in other parts of the world. And that is what makes it more peculiar as it just seems to be a sudden global phenomenon

    The Conspiracy: “Chemical Fogs” and Illness..

    Here’s where things go down a rabbit hole.

    Adding fuel to the fire are claims linking these fog formations to a mysterious wave of illnesses. On X and other social media, people have reported experiencing sudden cold or flu-like symptoms shortly after brief exposure to what some are calling “chemical fogs.” These fogs are described as unusually thick and lingering, sparking suspicion and fear.

    Also, being flu season probably assists with those flu claims.

    Some conspiracy theorists have coined the term “Fogvid-24” to describe this phenomenon. Those allegedly affected report symptoms such as:

    Severe fatigue or unexplained loss of energy.

    Coughing, sneezing, and other respiratory issues.

    A sensation of general malaise that seems to appear without warning, claims say.

    Fog is a natural weather phenomenon often caused by temperature inversions, high humidity, and calm winds. In areas like Florida, where warm ocean currents collide with cooler air masses, fog can linger for extended periods.

    Health experts also emphasize that cold and flu-like symptoms are common during the winter months and are likely coincidental rather than a direct result of the fog itself.

    But until then it’s fogvid24. What an ending..

    End of year solar express

    Sunday has been an active day for solar flares and sun activity.. at the time of this post there  were  at least ten flares surpassing the M2.0 threshold so far. Among them was an impressive X1.1 flare that occurred early this morning, setting the tone for a dramatic increase in activity compared to the day before.

    According to the latest NOAA/SWPC update, there’s an 80% chance of more M-class flares throughout the day and a 30% chance of another powerful X-class flare.

    It appears new years fireworks may be possible from our star..

  • Jimmy Carter dead at 100

    Jimmy Carter dead at 100

    Former President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100, according to a statement from the Carter Center.

    Carter, the 39th U.S. president, served one term in office from 1977 to 1981. Though often considered a weak president due to economic challenges and foreign policy struggles during his administration, Carter was widely admired for his decency, honesty, and commitment to public service.

    After leaving office, Carter dedicated his life to humanitarian efforts, founding the Carter Center, which focused on advancing peace, democracy, and global health initiatives. His work earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

    Carter’s life was filled with stories–including one of a UFO sighting long before it was en vogue to admit that..  his account of seeing a UFO in 1969 before becoming president raised eyebrows.. The event made him one of the most prominent figures to publicly acknowledge witnessing something that..

    Jimmy Carter leaves behind a legacy of humility, service, and an unyielding belief in the power of humanity to achieve good. He will be remembered not just as a former president but as a beacon of integrity and compassion.

  • How’s that year end Schumann resonance anxiety treating you?

    How’s that year end Schumann resonance anxiety treating you?

    When the resonance is this high, Saturday nights are all right for anxiety.

    We do not often provide opinions on the Schumann Resonance; however, based on observations, recent readings appear to be unusually high.

    https://www.tiktok.com/@enlightenedvibrations/video/7453453192446233902?_r=1&_t=ZT-8sbhVHQlYUN

    Firm believers of the Schumann Resonance claim it directly impacts human well-being, including mental health, emotional balance, and even physical sensations.

    Scientifically, the Schumann Resonance refers to the natural electromagnetic frequencies of the Earth, primarily at 7.83 Hz, which are generated by lightning discharges and resonate within the ionosphere.

    While some studies suggest potential links between these frequencies and human brainwaves, there is currently limited empirical evidence to conclusively prove that fluctuations in the Schumann Resonance have significant effects on human health or behavior.

    In the meantime, this fine Saturday night. We are all blessed with either anxiety from the resonance itself, or because we know those Christmas bills are coming due in just a few days.

  • The 2025 mutation

    The 2025 mutation

    Various news reports are adding fear to the end of the year..

    The AFP reports this:

    The bird flu virus found in a severely ill patient hospitalized in the United States has mutated to become better adapted to human airways, though there is no evidence it has spread beyond the individual, authorities said.

    Earlier this month, officials announced an elderly Louisiana patient was in “critical condition” with a severe H5N1 infection.

    An analysis posted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on its website Thursday found that a small percentage of the virus detected in the patient’s throat had genetic changes that may lead to “increased virus binding” to certain “cell receptors found in the upper respiratory tract of humans.”

    …we cannot do this again…

  • THE BATMAN 2 waits

    THE BATMAN 2 waits

    News broke today that The Batman Part 2 has officially been delayed, with its release date now set for October 1, 2027. Fans of the franchise have expressed disappointment at the lengthy gap between the first installment and its sequel, which will span over five years.

    The delay has sparked speculation about the reasons behind it. Some theories point to scheduling conflicts or creative adjustments, while others suggest production challenges. Regardless, the extended wait will undoubtedly be felt by audiences eagerly anticipating Robert Pattinson’s return as the Dark Knight.

    For now, fans will have to exercise patience, as a new Batman won’t be gracing the big screen for at least two more years.

    Not sure If Batman has patience in the utility belt, but if so, hopefully, he will let fans borrow that.

    James Gunn on The Batman 2 delay: “The only reason for the delay is there isn’t a full script… Matt is committed to making the best film he possibly can, and no one can accurately guess exactly how long a script will take to write.”

  • New years resolution: Let’s go (BACK H0ME?) to Mars!

    New years resolution: Let’s go (BACK H0ME?) to Mars!

    As we head to the end of another year, and review some old CIA records on remote viewing of Mars, let’s set an agenda item as a resolution: Let’s return back home!

    A declassified document reveals the CIA secretly used astral projection/remote viewing in 1984 to visit Mars … … 1 million years in the past. This experiment was conducted under the Stargate Project, a secret Army team tasked with investigating ‘psychic phenomena’—primarily remote viewing—and their potential military/intelligence applications.

    In January 2017, a CIA document from 1984 titled ‘Mars Exploration’ under this program was declassified. The subject who undertook this ‘exploration’ was given a sealed envelope with a card inside that read: “The planet Mars. Time of interest approximately 1 million years B.C.”

    From the report, it gets interesting..

    The experiment began at 10:09 AM on May 22, 1984. First, the subject reported an “oblique view of a pyramid … sitting in a … large depressed area.” He reported “severe, severe clouds, more like dust storms.” “I’m looking at [an] after effect of a major geologic problem.” The moderator begins to give the subject a series of coordinates to travel to.

    The subject reported seeing a “perception of a shadow of people, very tall … thin.”

    “It’s as if they were there and they’re not, not there anymore.” The Martians were reportedly “very large” and “wearing some kind of strange clothes.” The moderator then asks the subject to turn his focus to a new location in the same time—just before the “major geologic problem.”

    The subject reports looking “up the sides of a steep wall that seems to go on forever.” “It’s like the wall of the canyon itself has been carved.”

    The moderator replied to the subject’s descriptions: “Yes that would be correct.”

    20 minutes into the exploration, the subject arrived at a new place with a “very large” marker resembling the Washington Monument, or an “obelisk.” Jumping to another new place, the subject reported a “huge circular basin” surrounded by “very ragged, ragged mountains, very tall.”

    The subject makes mention of “a radiating pattern of some kind.” “It’s like some really … strange intersecting kind of roads that are dug into valleys.” “They’re like real neat channels cut, they’re very deep, it’s like the road went down.”

    35 minutes in, the subject suddenly said the pyramids were “like shelters from storms,” and he seemed confident that “they’re designed for that.” Inside, the pyramid was reportedly “stripped of any kind of … furnishings.” “It’s like a … strictly functional place for sleeping, or—that’s not a good word—hibernations, some form … I get real raw inputs, storms, savage storm, and sleeping through storms.”

    The subject was able to approach Martians and ask questions.. “They’re ancient people. They’re … dying, it’s past their time or age.” “They’re very philosophic about it. They’re looking for … a way to survive and they just can’t.”

    They were reportedly “hanging on” while waiting for a group of them that had left some timo ago to find a “new place to live.”

    The moderator then asked the subject to find out how “the others” had left. The subject reported that it “looks like the inside of a larger boat. Very rounded walls and shiny metal.” Then, the moderator asked him to “go along with them on their journey.” The subject reported an impression of a “really crazy place with volcanos and gas pockets and strange plants.” He described it as a “very volatile place … very much like going from the frying pan into the fire.” But the difference from Mars, he said, was that “there seems to be a lot of vegetation where the other place did not have it. And different kind of storm.”

    More..

    JOE McMONEAGLE THE REMOTE VIEWER – Joe McMoneagle is the remote viewer who remote viewed Mars when he was tasked by a classified program. The recent Daily Mail’s CIA article about Mars having Pyramids that were built by Ancient giant Martians (1 Million BC) was from his accounts.

  • Nostalgia is a cruel blockhead at Christmas

    Nostalgia is a cruel blockhead at Christmas

    The Annual Charlie Brown Ritual: Reflecting on Tradition and Change..

    Every year, many of us partake in the timeless ritual of watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. That animated classic, with its melancholy tone, manages to evoke a sense of nostalgia that feels almost bittersweet.

    For decades, people have wondered: what makes this special so enduring? After all, Charlie Brown is often consumed by negativity, struggling to find joy in the Christmas season. It takes Linus dropping his security blanket and delivering a heartfelt monologue about the true meaning of Christmas to momentarily lift Charlie’s spirits. By the end, he’s singing Hark! The Herald Angels Sing with everyone else—but is that truly the resolution?

    At its surface, it’s the story of a clumsy kid who’s constantly called a “blockhead” by the very people who are supposed to be his friends. Yet there’s something deeper at play—something that continues to resonate year after year.

    x x x

    As we grow older, life inevitably changes. Some of you reading this have already felt the sting of those changes: the loss of parents, family members, or friends who were central to your celebrations. Others might not yet have experienced these shifts but will in time.

    What often remains constant is the commercialization of Christmas. It taps into our nostalgia, using those warm, familiar memories to encourage us to buy, create, and relive moments that we hope will endure. Coke mastered it..

    Yet even commercialization can’t prevent the inevitable: the traditions we hold dear often fade, morph, or disappear altogether. For good sometimes.

    For me, A Charlie Brown Christmas endures because it reflects this truth. While the special itself remains unchanged, the way we experience it shifts. The memories it evokes, the people we watch it with, and the traditions surrounding it all evolve.

    The reality is, many of the things we cherish about Christmas are fleeting. Traditions we upheld years ago may no longer be possible. Perhaps your family dinner has grown smaller, or the specific dishes you once enjoyed have been replaced. Maybe those once-sacred outings—like Christmas bowling or movie nights—are no longer feasible because those businesses decided not to be open or have shut down altogether..

    And then there are the deeply personal losses: parents who once cleaned up the wrapping paper, friends and relatives who were staples of your holiday gatherings but are no longer around. These changes can leave us feeling desolate.. longing for a past that can’t be reclaimed no matter what actions we take.

    Even large, tight-knit families that manage to maintain traditions will eventually face change, because change is inevitable. And that inevitability is at the heart of Charlie Brown’s melancholy.

    Charlie Brown’s struggle isn’t just about the commercialism of Christmas. It’s about his inability to accept change. He’s searching for something constant, a tradition untouched by time. But as life shifts and evolves, he feels that the magic of the season is slipping away.

    The friends who call him a blockhead haven’t yet experienced the losses that he feels so deeply. But one day, they will. Change will touch their lives, too, and they’ll find themselves longing for something they can no longer have.

    So, this Christmas, enjoy what you have. Embrace the traditions you partake in this year, knowing that they may not endure. Families come and go. Friends come and go. Traditions come and go. But the moments you create right now are real, and they matter.

    This is advice I’m trying to take myself. With both my parents gone and the weight of traumatic events over the past five years, my traditions have changed dramatically. It’s challenging to create new ones for my child while my mind drifts back to the past.

    But if Charlie Brown could find joy, even briefly, so can we. Live in the moment. That’s where the magic of Christmas truly lies.

  • Eyewitnessing New Jersey drones

    Eyewitnessing New Jersey drones

    Yesterday, we took a trip to New Jersey for a little family adventure before Christmas. Without diving into details about dinner, I’ll skip straight to dessert—because what we really indulged in was a plethora of drone sightings.

    There were so many drones, too many to count. So so many…

    The most common type we saw was a triangular-shaped drone, but beyond that, we spotted a few blinking lights that would appear and vanish sporadically. A couple of times, we even mistook airplanes for drones, just because there were so many lights in the sky. It still doesn’t make sense what’s going on, but people are seeing these things everywhere—and we did too.

    The most amazing (and frustrating) part of it all was realizing how bad your camera becomes when you actually spot one. Between shaky hands and trying to zoom in on something flying through the night sky, it’s almost impossible to capture anything decent.

    I tried my best, but my footage is nowhere near as clear as some of the videos others have taken. That said, what I saw looked strikingly similar—if not identical—to what others have been reporting.

    One notable thing there seemingly were more in Pennsylvania. Once we got back than there were in New Jersey, at least from Philadelphia  to Allentown and Harrisburg.. they were seemingly regulated to the Southeast corner of the state..

    These things are big. Maybe they’re some massive test by a corporation, a secret government project, an alien invasion, or something entirely different. Who knows? What’s certain is that they’re out there, and now we’re all looking for them. If they were trying to stay hidden, that cover was blown months ago.
