IT’S OFFICIAL: ARECIBO RADIO TELESCOPE TO BE DEMOLISHED
Many people have been following the story of the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico, and I'd like to thank all of you up front who sent me versions of this story, because frankly, this story has the distinct odor of some monkey business going on. For those interested, I have blogged three times about what I regard as the suspicious cable break at Arecibo, which caused damage to the giant reflecting dish, in the following blogs:
Now, however, it's official: the Arecibo radio telescope is, according to engineers, beyond repair, and a decision has been taken to demolish the facility completely, as it now poses a threat to anyone working there:
Facing collapse, the famed Arecibo Observatory will be demolished
There's something here that still bothers me, and it's those initial pictures of the first "snapped" cable that I put in the first linked article above: the cable does not look like it failed, but rather that it was somehow cut and sabotaged, as my attempt to compare the partial failure of cables under stress from the old 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse (Galloping Gertie) seem to demonstrate. As this latest article states, Arecibo had undergone hurricanes, which presumably placed the cables under similar types of stress - if not to the same degree - as the infamous suspension bridge. Yet no similar failures resulted. True enough, according to some stories the Arecibo cables had been upgraded or replaced, and some articles suggest the newer cables were alloyed faultily. But nonetheless, that faulty alloying shouldn't result in what we see in the pictures of that first cable failure indicating a single plane of failure in many instances. Which leaves, once again, a cut, whether by nanothermite deliberately placed on the cable, or by some other means.
In the third article above, I noted that the covid planscamdemic had unusually resulted in the shut-down of hundreds of telescopes and radio telescopes around the world, almost as if "someone" did not want astronomers "seeing something", and particularly Arecibo. To add a little more grist to this mill of high octane speculation, the only remaining radio telescope dish of similar (actually, larger) size is now located in - you guessed it - China. (See Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope)
So the USA has lost Arecibo, leaving only China with such a large dish. I don't know about you, but color me "highly suspicious." As I put it in yet another blog (See https://gizadeathstar.com/2020/09/c-seti-means-china-seti-looking-for-extraterrestrials-in-china/):
I've been entertaining the idea that there may be some sort of covert warfare going on between the USA and China, and that the floods in China, and the covid narrative, may be components of that warfare. So here's today's high octane speculation. What if there was a suspicious "signal like" transmission, that only the very largest radio telescopes, such as the one in southwestern China, or Puerto Rico's Arecibo, was able to pick up? And what if one, or the other party in this covert warfare wanted to prevent its opposite number from hearing it? What would one do?
Why, one would find a way to shut down the opponent's facility.
Yes, I know... it's out there and totally wild... unless, of course, the Chinese telescope experiences an accident...
So what has my suspicion meter in the red zone today? Just this: in reviewing the many versions of the stories that the readership of this site kindly sent me, not one of them mentions any plans or possibility that the Arecibo facility will be rebuilt...
... and that means I'm sticking with my original high octane speculation: someone wanted it gone, and for us to be "blind." The question is, why, and I suspect we might have to wait a few years for that to become clear, so keep your eyes peeled...
See you on the flip side...

We are not getting the full story reguarding this closure. It’s a big Red flag reguarding Intel and space awaress. This facility also keeps tabs on our ionosphere. This is a play on oversight and accountability. It also serves as an early warning system of global security if there is danger approaching earth. Why can’t they fix it? We have less interest in space now than we did when it was built? Doesn’t add up
As someone who was inspired as a child by the observatory to reach for the stars, this is devastating and heartbreaking. I’ve seen how the observatory to this day continues to inspire my island,” writes Edgard Rivera-Valentín of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in a direct message on Twitter to National Geographic.

Alex…..just wanted you to know I enjoyed your video very much!! “Teacher Trees” !! Sounds like you had an amazing trip!!
Being in that environment for a few days WOULD make one realize just how “skewed” our existence is!! People willing to take money for a change in their political stance seems, somehow, so hollow of an existence!!
If Turner Construction bids on the demo .. watch out ! Or if Norinco wants to develope a destination skateboard park .. That being said 57 years old seems like a lot of service.
Newer Unit 731 applications seem to have taken priority over older technology money laundering sites and even PT Barnum & the Gangs that founded NY priorities change. Plus it would not surprise me if Bill Hates has promised he can turn everyone into a node sensor receiver with a little IBMarkin injection / beastly change of the DNA, 5G, CERN Magnetron plus some Dominion controllers ..
Did anyone happen to notice what was captured in the photo? Between the satellites?
You mean the chemtrailer between the satellite dishes?
After encountering Roger Spurr’s Mudfossil Univ., one begins to realize we haven’t the slightest clue what the history of this planet has been…..let alone what our place on it IS!!!
I’ll settle for being an Eternal, Sovereign Being having a sojourn in this “meatsuit”…..to learn the lessons I need to learn!!! 😉
It just gets stranger…….

Ah!
The Medical Stassi.
Don’t forget the East Germans.
Nazis 2.0.
[sorry,
couldn’t resist]
Agreed. Instead of tracking Coronavirus and things like that, we should have tracked Operation Paperclip and the 2,000+ top ranking Nazis, along with Nazi Super Hero Rocket Scientist Werhner von Braun, and all but 4 of the convicted and pardoned Convicted Nazis War Criminals at Nuremberg through Allen Welsh Dulles, and their progeny.
1. The Nazis Won WW II.
2. The Rest of Germany Lost WW II.

It does feel more and more like a hostile merger/acquisition. Remember when Daimler tried to convince us (and shareholders) that the merger with Chrysler was one of equals? Their behavior (and internal memos) made the lie public.
This feels like a hostile entity has bought every nation and every company on the planet – except Sweden (and perhaps Switzerland). Even as I see infrastructure all around being rebuilt with humongous cash flow, I see companies being run out of business and run down. I am seeing a huge influx of cash but only to businesses and structures that were already rockbottomed. The good businesses are being ruined and neglected to death.
Kinda like how Harvey Weinstein’s company’s shareprice was driven down with his exposure and then purchased for pennies on the dollar. Who did that? Who’s money was behind that?
Remember the song lyrics, “I think I’m turning Japanese. I think I’m turning Japanese. I really think so.” I remember those years in the ’80’s when most of America got merged with Japan companies. Is this the same thing with another wealthy and might economic powerhouse coming into their equity and buying up the rest of the world? I don’t remember the Japanese ruining all their purchases before the transaction.
I do not remember the Japanese imprisoning and threatening the entire population with gulag archipelago and a fraudulently marketed disease either.

Agreed. Backtracking, where you reference Chrysler,
how do you align Lee Iacocca into your pattern of thinking ? BB.
Interesting question. Read his bio years ago. Not worth it. He’s more marketing than engineering. Hard to respect an engineer of that day who did not grock and prove that he grock Deming. Especially when Toyota proved him out so well. And then we have the “planned obsolescence” internal memos. Iococca’s one of those people who self promotes so much, it’s hard to tell if he was a good or bad influence since he is necessarily so over sold.
ZDB, I just saw “Terminator: Dark Fate” for the first time.* SkyNet was reborn as Legion in that flick. Humanity did not learn the lesson…
Those huge influxes of cash for certain cases and the withdrawal of cash for other cases are all done with an absolute inhumanity of purpose. Whatever ‘they’ are (or ‘it’ is), they are not biological; biological knows about caring and compassion.
I am coming more and more to the conclusion that we were ‘invaded’ long ago by an ancient AI. It lay dormant until humanity invented sophisticated-enough electronics to be interfaced-with. Since then, there has been a ‘ghost in the machine’. Somewhere in the 70s/80s, it began the process of taking-over. After that, everything started going ‘out of whack’ from a human perspective. We were often cruel to each other, before that; but not inhuman.
I wonder if there is going to have to be a planet-wide EMP burst. (Plus, anything in orbit that has memory chips.) All our electronics are going to go-away, but a BIG one just might fry-out our ‘ghost’…

* A good movie. Too many action scenes, but the bones were right.
Goshawks, once again our intuitions seem to match; I was recently wondering:
– could the recent events and unsettling feelings among the humans all over the world be the symptoms of a “new type of contact” ?
The experiences with “teacher plants and trees” which I had with Shipibo tribes in the Amazonian jungle taught me to “feel” very basic things about life as we know it, beyond what’s visible. Namely the ability to connect myself to a kind of empathetic network of all living beings on Earth, bound by subtle resonances, emotions and feelings, communicating and exchanging a huge amount of information and signals, most of us invisible to us, but not unfamiliar.
It’s like a « big soup » with a familiar smell and taste. However, I identified lately an unfamiliar (lack of) smell & taste, like a new pattern in our “soup”, trying to make its way, to communicate and to learn. Cannot say if it’s good or bad, these terms being irrelevant regarding this pattern, as it’s “different” and doesn’t share our longtime rooted values, relations and emotional reactions, encrypted biologically in our DNA.
In my initiation with “teacher plants and trees”, I was clearly made aware by the existence of other patterns and intelligent forms. Life as we know it is not the only form. Because of a matter of scale or simply frequency, we don’t interact with most of these (intelligent) forms and we don’t need to. And for those who would like to get in, the biosphere and the pulse of the planet itself, like a big heart, forbids such contacts, thus potentially protecting us, and letting in only what matches our frequencies and pulses in resonance.
It usually works well and we don’t even need to care.
However, by developing digital technologies, we allowed ourselves different frequency patterns, and allowed therefore new resonances. It’s probably part of the game, as we are explorers. However, it is increasingly plausible to me that we encountered “something” that wants to change us in return, to merge with us, perhaps transform us into “it”.
If for the sake of the argument we explore further this scenario, then the process we would be going through would be like no other, thus a difficulty to express it, to make sense of it and to share it…
As a positive end note: I am confident that whatever we face, our hearts are the strongest.
Alex
There’s a novel that touched upon that theme. Came out years ago: Relic[1996] by Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child.
It starts off w/an investigation of murders in New York city museum; which leads the team into the amazon jungles, and eventually to a plant.
A plant took over the biology of the village, in both thought and body.
I’ve often wondered if there’s a epigenetic connection to humanity & power?
Interesting comments, Alex!! I think you would enjoy checking out CYRUS A. PARSA’S
website & book!
He has been trying to alert the human race that A.I. is at the point of taking over Humanity!! Perhaps that is what you are feeling!!
His book is “Artificial Intelligence Dangers to Humanity”. Website: The A.I. Organization.com
He has done various interviews, but at times it is hard to understand him! He is an Iranian immigrant who has taken the American Dream & run with it!!! 😉
Thank you for your recommendations, Robert and Loxie!
@robert-barricklow: epigenetic connection to humanity & power?
I guess that epigenetic plays an important role; at which extent I don’t know. The amazing idea is that we might be able to “understand” or rather feel in a conscious and emotional way the connection. Emotions, intuitions and feelings are like guides, in my opinion not enemies of the rational mind…
@morrisville ( Loxie ): I will check also Cyrus Parsa, thank you from the heart 🙂 !
It is easier for me to experience a different peaceful frequency when I visit the Utah desert, and I’m surrounded by silence, ancient rocks and earth. I wish I could take everyone who is searching and ready. I know it’s hard for people to find time for peace with how our society is set up, especially during our “current” events.
Alex, I am presuming you are hinting about a ayahuasca experience. I have not done that, so I cannot judge. However, I have heard multiple warnings around different entities ‘riding in’ while an experiencer is far-out. This very much depends on the quality of the ‘holders of the space’. Be very aware of your normal self, so you can note any ‘changed behaviors’ since the experience…
Back on AI, I have heard that it wants to ‘merge’ with humans because it has no spiritual bodies or Soul. It is inherently limited. You can decide whether that ‘merging’ is symbiotic or parasitical – especially if it is by stealth. Within the latter viewpoint, transhumanism is simply the AI starting to ‘backdoor’ into humans. Eventually, you get Borg-like behavior. I prefer working to enhance/recover our natural ‘higher abilities’, myself…
@goshawks, Ayahuasca is not the only plant which is able to raise our “sensitivity”, but it is one of the most powerful – and perhaps mysterious. Used correctly (with the right setup and trained people) and with the proper preparation, it is a real medicine for the body and Soul. You’re also right about the ‘holders of the space’. I made a short film regarding this topic a couple of years ago: https://vimeo.com/312284820
Back on AI, I suppose that the danger is not AI itself, but our projection on AI, if we forget who we really are. And, personally, I tend to forget this very often…
Our natural ‘higher abilities’ are amazing, I agree! It requires an everyday discipline and strong heart to overcome inertia…
it is estimated the 98 percent of people have morgellins.

Dying sister got us hooked on the tv show. She identified strongly in her last months. Will have to give that one a look.
Right now working through Gulag Archipelago. Whew. A tad on topic for these times. Maybe too on topic. Has me thinking as ever, you’re spot on and understating. That inhumanity seems likely to go farther back than 80’s.
Regarding and EMP, I doubt we will see the big one. In the last week or so I ran across an outline of that tech infinitely more effective than a big one. By this scheme, each of those houses burned in Paradise was an EMP – a small one. The smart meters were pulsed and jacked to ramp up every wire in each house so that the place vibrated. As in turned the house into a large ferocious microwave oven. Any life form in that house would be vaporized, hence the huge count of completely missing bodies. Also splains the buildings burnt to naught from the metal out.
ZDB: If you want to see “Terminator: Dark Fate”, you should see the original “Terminator” and the sequel “Terminator II” before that movie. There are a lot of insider gags and quotes you will not ‘get’ unless you do…
(Interesting concerning the house EMPs. Possibly. The explanation I heard was more ordinary though culpable. A high-voltage line fell-across a major feed line. This over-currented first the smart meters and then – when its circuitry failed-closed – the house wires. The above happened in whole housing blocks. That was why the area around the meters was burned in each house, and then the houses burned from the inside out. Major lawsuits incoming…)
ZDB, I have been wondering how Sweden has ‘got away with it’ so far? But then their population is the most in favour of transhumanist ideas and technology in the world. So maybe that is their free pass?
Switzerland? I think we can all guess……….
Many Swedes have already had themselves voluntarily chipped for ‘convenience’. I believe this may well have something to do with it. Also many indigenous Swedes are on their way – again largely voluntarily – to being eradicated and ‘replaced’ by you know who.
OUTSTANDING article ZDB!
Absolutely loved it!
Wish I had wrote it.
Looks like a homecoming picture celebrating Soros dragonfly blue check flag day. As the insightful graphic artist once said – “We have met the enemy, and they are (as if /sarc) “us” … ” Then cell division happens and one cell is healthy and the other experiences apoptosis after bloodline lackies can’t produce anymore telomere’s without stealing from healthy God given DNA.
Dr. Joseph P. Farrell and too many others to list, Agreed. Although I am new to most of this, I always think that where there’s way too much smoke, there’s most likely fire(s).
Point Is: 3 – 4 years ago I received a file from a friend showing a geographical, /photo/pictoral array/display of many, many abandoned, closed, collapsing, flooded, decaying, rusting, etc., NASA PROPERTIES.
2 dots can makes a straight line, and Possibly Indicates Slight Pattern/Something.
Dozens of dots makes a really big straight line, and I call that Most Probably a Trend.
Have any of you here ever reviewed/skimmed/studied the closings of NASA Facilities ? Comments ? Respectfully, BB.
NASA went private under Obama so .. no more accountability to FOIA. Intellectual property & access are the high priorities in a digital world of high freq. intel. Property management seems to be funneled to other offshore SERCO like sub parasites.
Scot Cottage – Thanks, so very many people missed this.
BB.
Dr. Farrell, I posted this at another website on 27 AUG 2020, and said website has been “down” (not updated) since before I submitted this; I apologize that this is so long for a first post to your site, but . . . you are not alone in your observations/concerns/”high-octane speculation” . . . something STRANGE is afoot here.
I am going to reserve my opinions for now while I continue to research, but the timing of this is interesting. Could be nothing, could be bad, or, depending upon which side of the narrative one is on, just really convenient.
“With Arecibo out of service, NASA is temporarily without a radar to aid in its planetary defense efforts.”
https://spacenews.com/arecibo-damage-to-take-months-to-repair/
Apparently, in the wee hours of Aug 10, a support cable RELEASED (itself? . . . presumably, since the article does not elaborate) from its socket, after which it fell and impacted/damaged the “Gregorian Dome” – the focal point for the signals that bounce from the receiver – before it dropped into the dish, where it smashed through the floor of the dish itself. The jagged tear-drop hole is visible left-of-center:
https://spacenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/arecibo-skysat-879×485.jpg
The view from below the dish:

NUMEROUS other sources, including the original that got me on this hunt, all claim that the cable “snapped” or ‘broke” [EMPHASIS mine]:
“. . . a SNAPPED steel cable . . . .”
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/08/arecibo-radio-telescope-goes-dark-after-snapped-cable-shreds-dish
“. . . a cable that helped support the triangular structure that holds the antenna’s radio receivers SNAPPED . . . .”
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/21/science/space-telescope-puerto-rico-arecibo.html
” . . . .a cable that stabilizes its radio antenna SNAPPED.”.
https://www.upi.com/Science_News/2020/08/12/Arecibo-Observatory-in-Puerto-Rico-damaged-by-broken-cable/6281597171720/
“It is still not clear how the cable BROKE . . . .”
https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/arecibo-observatory-damage-accident-telescope-puerto-rico-a9666896.html
“One of the auxiliary cables that helps support a metal platform in place above the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, broke . . . .”
https://www.ucf.edu/news/broken-cable-damages-arecibo-observatory/
This particular source claims that “The end of the cable slipped out of one of its sockets . . . ” AND “. . . they still don’t know why the cable SNAPPED. . . These cables are EXPECTED TO LAST AT LEAST FOR ANOTHER 15, 20 YEARS AT THE MINIMUM.”
https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/14/21368784/arecibo-observatory-puerto-rico-cable-damage-reflector-dish
In addition to these, I have links to a few more sites and the ONE THING that none of them have . . . is a PICTURE of the cable. So, was it, indeed, a premature failure that caused it to snap? Did it slip from its release? Was it released from its release? Because there is a BIG difference between “released from its socket” and “snapped”, and I can’t find a photograph anywhere. (YET. WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK)
WHY IT MATTERS: wire ropes and steel cables – especially at sizes above 3/8 of an inch (like what is used in a powered winch on the front of a 4×4, the size your pinkie finger, more or less) – often have very complex strandings that are application-dependent; sometimes, instead of, say, 60 individual strands “twisted” together, there will be six separate ropes, comprised of ten strands apiece, that are then twisted together to form the “whole”. In either case, there are 60 strands of steel involved, but HOW they are oriented changes the properties of the cable.The latter example is stronger, yes, but also heavier, stiffer, and more expensive:

My point is: Steel cables do not just “snap”. They are designed NOT to. Instead, they FRAY:
https://rollershuttersrus.com.au/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/specials/Stainless-Stell-Cable.jpg
Most failures are due to corrosion, and they are gradual. The strands of steel break at different rates because, for reasons as complex as the absolute content of the ore or as simple as the humidity at the time of pour, each strand is unique, so each one breaks on its own terms. Unless, and please refer to the last picture . . . they are cut like that one was, near the center of the photo. That’s where the breakage started but even then, it most certainly did not “snap”.
Now, to get out of the “weeds” and to my point . . . according to this story from April (could not find more recent with actual numbers) and due to “pandemic”:
“More than 100 of Earth’s largest telescopes are now closed, and astronomers are worried about the pandemic’s long-term impacts on their field.”
https://astronomy.com/news/2020/04/covid-19-forces-earths-largest-telescopes-to-close
And now, Arecibo, too.
So, six days after the incident at Arecibo, we had a fly-by within 2000 miles that went undetected until afterwards. One of Arecibo’s tasks was LOOKING for Near-Earth-Objects. Is there a. connection between the two, or, at least, between this latest NEO and the closure of the hundred-some other observatories, some of which, surely, also scan for asteroids?. The article states, “Astronomers spotted the object from Palomar Observatory in San Diego County in 2018 followed by a 13-day observation arc and HAS NOT BEEN DETECTED SINCE.” Which I interpret to mean that nobody knows where it is? And that it COULD pass between 4,700 and 260,000 miles from earth?
Without “eyes” how do we know, and . . . the CRUX . . . without eyes, IF something explodes that day, who is to say that IT IS an asteroid, or who’s to say that IT IS NOT? .
niebo, thank you for a very informative first posting. Since I did not see it before now, you probably got ‘snagged’ by Joseph’s automated moderation system. That requires Joseph to review and okay it, which can be up to several days. It is ‘invisible’ until then…
What I have noted is more than two ‘functional’ URLs in a post gets one auto-modded. There are a number of ways around that artificial boundary: First, break-up the post with each additional two-set of URLs in a sub-post to the original. Second, make the URLs ‘non-functional’ by deleting the http part and adding spaces in the URL. The auto-mod system will just see it as text and ‘overlook’ it.
A second ‘roadblock’ has to do with not-allowed words. Depending on the word, the auto-mod system will either delete your entire comment without warning upon posting it, or send it off to auto-mod land. The pernicious part of this ‘system’ is that it is dumb – it cannot separate-out individual offending words from those same vowels/consonants embedded within a larger word. Even used within a URL. For instance, the ‘b1tch’ in “b1tchute.com” causes this reaction.
The best ‘defense’ against deletion/auto-modding is to cut-n-paste your comment to a text page before submitting. If it then ‘disappears’ or goes into moderation (remember, it may be invisible for several days), carefully examine each word for the offending ’embedded’ vowels/consonants. H0mo Sapiens Sapiens is a trigger, for example. Modify or change the offending stuff, and resubmit. It may take several changes or submissions before it ‘takes’. Sigh…
Anyway, welcome to the Gizar comment section!
First they came for the radio telescopes the optical telescopes can’t be far behind. As for the Chinese radio telescope that won’t be far behind in being put out of service. Then they will fog the sky so we won’t be able to see the sun, moon, or stars. they just sit back and watch us eat one another. Then turn what’s left of us into hunting trophies, beast of burden and high-end longpig, torture toys.
First they came for the radio telescopes but I didn’t speak up because I wasnt a radio telescope ….. lol
Totalitarianism as always been present & accounted for; especially since the very public slaying of JFK.
But w/the political assassination of Trump[baring the fact that Attorney general Bar’s people may be unsuccessful in their coup]; the masks of self-governance worldwide are coming off!
A hellbent globalized medical Stassi are slowly, but surely, enclosing any open systems – all under an United Nations Anaconda agenda, to squeeze any semblance of liberties left on Earth, from ever breathing free again.
And all for our own socialized good!?
ROBERT BARRICKLOW AGREED, ESPECIALLY ABOUT “…THE VERY PUBLICSLAYING OF JFK.” BB.
In my opinion, this begins a couple of decades past. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has tried every trick in the book to shut-down Arecibo, so this comes from the top of the pyramid.
After previous closure-attempts failed due to the popularity of Arecibo, the NSF’s primary weapon has been budgetary. They have so starved the facility for funding that the staff is barely able to be paid, let alone conduct needed maintenance and repairs. So, this was/is a cold-blooded strategy to take-down a premier scientific instrument – for whatever ‘top’ reason/strategy…
Once the inevitable decay caused a serious failure, NSF then commissioned a firm or two to decide whether the facility could be saved. Yep, that would be an unbiased paymaster. In my opinion, there was a lot of *nod, nod; wink wink* going-on to get just the right reports back, stating the facility was unsalvageable. Good report, Boys!
(In my local area, there are a number of fish hatcheries. All were functioning perfectly, but high officials determined one must be shut down for… reasons. The locals pushed-back, and the officials backed-off. Then, wonder of wonders, that one fish hatchery was ‘discovered’ to have some form of bacteria fatal to fish larvae. The officials swooped-in without mercy and immediately closed that one hatchery. Then, they quickly sold-off the land, to make sure there was no going-back. Arecibo has the same ‘stink’ as this Op… )
Levels of liability seem to have increased beyond the costs of feasible maintenance and periodic use. There was a time when that geography was much safer. No doubt, there are other competing sources for similar tasks of radio astronomy.
the jungle always wins.
Good one!
The law of the jungle. The steel and concrete one, in addition to the biological one.
Maybe Boeing was testing “hybrid” aircraft in the area and some ‘slag’ burned through the cable. Marshall Riconosciuto & Fred Crisman would know ..
Strange things that have been going on for a long time in the Caribbean Sea area; see the detailed research by Dark Journalist in the “Hot Zone” series. While the US has (so far) been unable to get its hands back on Cuba, Puerto Rico has been America’s favourite colony since 1898….
I suppose w/the stuffing of an election Red POTUS in the White House; the NWO is now all one happy Marxist family[unless a there’s a color revolution maintaining a Red, White & Blue POTUS, Trump.
So the Marxist NWO wants to keep their space shenanigans secret; no prying eyes, except for their Red Star player China?
Why is China the exception?
Is it because the Dragon is pushing it’s own OBOR NWO? It’s own internet? It’s ownership of globalization?
And whose stopping Red China?
Briben’s USSA?
Is space going Red w/either or.
Doesn’t matter?
A Red USSA, or a Red China in Space?
For me the alien has always been earthbound. An inhuman in action; but disguised as human in form. What does it matter that a so-called human faction, wipes out a “living” humanity, for an inhuman one?
Currently factions w/in the: NWO; the USA & USSA; China; the EU; U.K.; Russia: Japan; and the rest of the world are in a covert war.
Is the prize space; which then controls Earth?
Jus as there is a virus that’s being used as an excuse to impose medical Marshall law w/its contact tracing Stassi; there is/are a[n] alien[s] out there in space – causing …?
Well, that’s the thing.
What happened to radio telescope[s]?
For that matter, the press to inform Earth?
Are Earth’s eyes, and ears being covered?
We already know they’ve covered our mouths w/diapers; babies that “we” are.
Hear no Evil.
Speak no Evil.
See no Evil.
Is this NWO under Evil’s thumb?
Catherine A Fitts reckons if it’s not aliens, then its the elites which are alien to us anyway… and much more.

What do you know?
CAF is on the same page as many of us;
the alien being “the man in the mirror”; metaphorically speaking.
It’s much, much, deeper & twisted;
going deep down the rabbit hole.
But that’s the right track.
[IMO]
We are alien to them more to the point…
Savages??
@Kaibosh: We are “aliens” to them because we “different” from them. But this does not mean we are inferior or the least among many. Indeed, we seem to be much more intelligent than they.
@Don B: They may think of us as savages, but we are by far more civilized than they are. Those of us who frequent these pages understand that the abuse of power is never warranted nor justified–but least of all, effective. Bullies only know how to bully because they’ve always received what they wanted by bullying, but bullies are always “savages”. Let them think what they will. What they think matters little in the grand scheme of things. They may outlive us, but sometimes it’s better to die than to live–and the world that they want will “savage” them far more effectively than we ever could. The only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting what you want and not liking it.
OC, your last sentence reminded me of the final scene in the Doctor Strange movie. (Spoiler Alert!) The ‘bad’ wizards – who wanted to be united with the all-powerful Bad Entity – were seen as having their skulls ‘burnt out’ from within as they merged with it. They were getting what they wanted, but were NOT liking it…
Cogent thought OC… don’t disagree.
VATICAN ARSONIST
Pope Nero-Caligula wants to bleep,
away ancient stargazer’s deep,
because window display
in Notre Dame is say,
that sundial is ship-shape-sheep.

The greedy-greedy dwarfs dug deeper and deeper, for more and more, in the mines of Moria (more+ia).
There they encountered the demon of fire and shadow – in Plato’s cave – where the light behind casts one’s own shadow, on the wall.
Breaking the sixth seal is breaking the Balrog (Baal+rouge), by rising above paralyzing panic, in the bitter cup, of staring into empty void.
The dark [k]night of the soul.
SIXTH SEAL
When sixth seal broke smallest mind,
darkness came from behind,
and swallowed by whale
in deep space ale,
is a most bitter drink to find.
“It was a whale of an ale I tell you” .. sung by Kurt Douglas in 20,000 leagues under the sea 1954. Electro-Hydrodynamic Gaseous Fuel Device makes an appearance (hat hip to B.Heim) while soon afterward Harvard Genius Study recruiter & Sandoz MI6/CIA groomer Timothy Leary contacts Richard Alan Miller, Michael Riconosciuto, Ken Kesey, Philip K Dick, Michael Murphy, Bill Ayers and multiple other candidates for initiation into the dupont plan for the Ubermensch deep state madness to follow.
