TIDBIT: THIS WEEK’S HONORABLE MENTIONS
This was another one of "those weeks" in which it was very difficult to make final selections, and accordingly I'm posting some of the close calls here. As one might guess, many of them are related to space (including a few that don't seem to be):
For starters, S.R. noticed this story about Israel's failed Moon lander Bereshit, which apparently was carrying a library. The usual line that it was being done to help "preserve human civilization" (from what?) is put out, and while I don't discount the idea, I think it's also possible that the library was being put up there to... well, give people something to read...
A 30-million page library is heading to the moon to help preserve human civilization
H.B. spotted this story about how "excited" engineers are about putting tunneling machines on the Moon (with what? chemical rockets? Don't make me laugh):
Lunar tunnel engineers excited by boring Moon colonies
K.L. spotted this story about the Russians being successful in making gold "flat", which sounds a lot like they've made it "two dimensional" or something rather like an ORME, which, you might recall, are alleged to experience significant mass loss properties (oh those tricky Russkies... might this be why they're buying up so much gold? Along with China? And why Germany wants its gold back? And, did I mention, those countries all have space programs?....):
Russian scientists succeed in making gold "flat"
And speaking of gold, H.B. also noticed this one (wait... the US Army academy at West Point is storing and guarding gold???):
The Only Gold The US Will Show: The "Working Vault" At West Point
And if you're following the glyphosate GMO story, M.W. spotted this one:
And B.H. spotted this one about a raid on Deutsche Bank, and a connection to the Panama Papers:
Police raid Deutsche Bank headquarters as part of Panama Papers money laundering investigation

West Point continues the saga of…
where Waldo’s gold is hidden.
First, the laughable:
Israeli’s doing something[anything for that matter]…
“good” for mankind.
Second, Tunnel machines on moon tunneling to keep the chemical used a fuel in space meme going. Got to keep the Breakaway civilization way ahead of the horse & buggy 99%’ers.
3rd, 2D gold.
The trickle of truth in science continues… ?
[again, white rabbit time]
EPA works for private powers like Monsanto.
The public power is continually eaten by private powers…
for DC powers lunches.
Robert, i’ll defer to the comments on doc’s may 17 blog about spaceboy cruz (i wonder if he has a trunk monkey to prevent him getting probed. Somehow i doubt it.)
I think bayersanto had this planned years ago and will skate away with control over hugely powerful tech and minimized legal costs. They preemption argument has huge precedence. That was the whole point of epa doubling down on their crony science commanding we all believe and don’t get cancer by sucking roundup. Just like disney taught us with jack sparrow………….. its not about right / wrong. Its about what i can do. Same azdat for merck and all with vaccines n opioids. N j&j with baby powder. N tobacco. And on.
These guys r cancering entire generations, skating on technicalities and billing us all. And when this is imposed on us, they will own rights on genetics that we will need. Afterall, the gmo dna DOES change the dna of the ingesting animals.

The fix is in.
The question is just…
what opera the fat lady’s going to sing to.
Deutsche Bank tax haven political patsies to say they’re catching the big fish too.
Sure!
Now sell that to all the Leona Mindy Roberts Helmsley’s..
