Smithsonian: Airplane Contrails May Be Creating Accidental Geoengineering

“Dissipating haze from plane exhaust alters how sunlight reaches the Earth and may be unintentionally affecting our climate”chemtrails-geoengineering1

These headlines are from a recent article in the Smithsonian Magazine. The article is rather lean on facts, and it seems the scientists who were quoted below are rather puzzled at what they are seeing in the sky.

For example, Charles Long of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado said at a press conference last week at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco, “This haze is caused by airplanes, and it is gradually whitening blue skies. We might be actually conducting some unintentional geoengineering here.” (more…)

After year of jihadi terror, Queen’s Christmas Day speech to focus on Christianity

The annual message from Her Majesty to the country’s citizens, which has been televised since 1957, is expected to deal with the The-Queens-Christmas-mess-007Queen’s own faith and the continuing importance of Christianity in Britain today.

This theme is especially significant given the growing number of terror attacks by Islamic extremists across the world this year, which have specifically targeted Christians, described by jihadis as “non-believers.” (more…)

Scientists to Discuss a Suitable Post-Materialistic Science of Consciousness in 2015

(Source: IAC) – Modern day’s foremost researchers of post-materialistic consciousness science will convene at the International Science of consciousnessAcademy of Consciousness’ (IAC) research campus, located near Évora, in the Alentejo region in Portugal, for the 1st International Congress of Conscientiology (consciousness science).

For over a century, maverick scientists have been venturing where only religion and philosophy dared; applying the principles of science along with new methodologies to the internal, subjective world of consciousness.

Consciousness is widely considered as one of the most remarkable and persistent mysteries of science. Why are we aware? Where does that awareness come from? Is it created by biology or is it more than biology, surviving physical death? The prevailing paradigm worldwide is a materialistic one that reduces life to an ephemeral result of the brain, which itself is an accident of genetic mutation. However, over a century of scientific advances like parapsychology, quantum physics and the public interest in near-death experience research (popularized in the 70’s by Raymond Moody, MD, author of Life after Life and recently rekindled by Eben Alexander, MD, author of Proof of Heaven), have demonstrated the inadequacies of this reductionist paradigm. Conscientiology, a non-reductionist science of consciousness, sees each of us as a conscious, evolving, intelligent life principle whose ‘internal world’ is as worthy of study as the ‘outer world’ focus of science to date.

Orthodox Rabbis issue groundbreaking statement on Christianity

(Source: Vatican Radio) For the first time since the Second Vatican Council changed Christian teachings toward Judaism and the Pope Francis western wall JerusalemJewish people 50 years ago, a group of Orthodox rabbis have issued a public statement advocating partnership with Christians and appreciating the religious value of Christianity.

Obama: So let there be no doubt, Islam is a part of America

The United States of America is one of the few countries in the world that practices religious freedom and the right of very individual to Obama-hornsbe a member of whatever religion they choose to align their souls with. The American law and most enlightened people do not care if you are a Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Gnostic, Freemason or an atheist. We all have the same rights and opportunities in this country.

The recent terrorist attack that was carried out by Muslim extremists in San Bernardino, California was a tragic event. The killing of 14 innocent people have caused many U.S. citizens to live in fear, and they would like special measures and surveillance placed on all Muslims. Some people would even like them all deported from the country.

What people need to understand is that there have been many hundreds, if not thousands of attacks and killings in the history of this country carried out by American Christian and non-Muslim terrorists than there have been by Muslims. The crime facts show that if you or a loved one was to be murdered, it would most likely to be done by the hands of a family member or friend than anyone else. The next most probable terrorist that may try and take your life would be at church by a crazed Christian hell bent on doing God’s work or at school or a movie theater by a drugged up teenager who wants their 5 minutes of sick fame.
