    Gee Whiz... people were saying they didn't have anything to hide when they found out our calls were being wiretapped. "I don't have any thing to hide!" They'd say.

    And now, where is all that sentiment?

    What does he have to hide?

    Fricken hypocrites.

    They can move together in swarms, build towers, dance, throw and catch, assess targets and soon will even make their own decisions. Both in war and at home, drones are developing fast and gaining control.

    Notre Dame’s Bees Seem to Have Survived the Blaze ...



    The trio of hives, on the bottom left, as they appeared in 2016.

    "Several types of creatures make themselves at home on the tippy-tops of buildings. You have your gargoyles, their stone gazes fixed forever on the horizon, and pigeons, their poop splattered in putrid white polka dots. And, on some urban rooftops, you have bees.

    Beekeepers tend to hives atop several Paris landmarks, including the Opéra Garnier, Musée d’Orsay, and Notre Dame. More than 180,000 honeybees were said to flit around the hives atop the sacristy, their honey doled out among cathedral staff. So when a blaze recently torched Notre Dame’s wood roof and demolished the spire, apiarists were eager to know how the colonies had fared.

    For the beekeeper Nicolas Géant, who cares for Notre Dame’s hives, aerial images of the scorched building were a good omen. “If you look at the photos from the sky, you see that everything is burnt, there are holes in the roof, but you can still see the three beehives,” Géant told NBC News.

    The hives are stacked slightly below the portion of the roof that went up in the flames. The fact that the hives hadn’t burned was promising, but it didn’t necessarily mean that the bees had survived the clouds of hot, gray smoke. (Géant explained to CNN that it’s possible that the hives would have handled that alright, since beekeepers regularly blow cold smoke into hives to lull bees into a honey-feast stupor while the humans do their work.) Then, a few days after the blaze, he got the news he had been waiting for: A cathedral spokesperson told him that bees had been seen buzzing around the hives, the Agence France-Presse reported. At least some winged residents had made it through.

    While it’s too soon to tell for sure just how many hung in there—Géant told CNN that he hadn’t yet gotten up to the roof to inspect the hives—he was overjoyed by what he’d seen so far. At this point, that sign of life amid the wreckage felt precious, he said. He called it “a miracle.”"

    Question

    Magick As Advanced Physics

    Freeman with Dr. Richard Alan Miller




    Freeman Fly
    Published on Apr 24, 2019

    Meta means beyond, and the new directions in Physics. It includes the study, and use, of altered states of consciousness, where Imagination is considered Reality. Magick is the next evolutional step in the advancement of consciousness. This is why Magick has been reserved for the ultra-elite of Europe for centuries. Known as Magick within Blue Lodges, the occult has always been “occulted.” As Alchemy has led to Chemistry, so too now will Magick emerge as an advanced form of Physics (as Mystery Schools)

    Can Antarctica remain a refuge for science and peace?


    PBS NewsHour
    Published on Apr 24, 2019
    Antarctica is virtually uninhabited by people. There are no roads, no cities, no government. But thanks to a remarkable Cold War diplomatic breakthrough, the last continent ever discovered remains a place devoted almost exclusively to science. William Brangham reports on how humans first found Antarctica, and how it proves that occasionally, even rivals can become partners.

    Most of it is owned by the Queen. British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic territories are the personal property of the Crown. The Falkland conflict was partly about maintaining control over British Antarctica. As the ice melts and the climate becomes warmer, there will be a scramble for Antarctica, just as there was a Scramble for Africa in the late 19th century. I doubt it will be entirely peaceful.
