Prayers for puppy.
For Gosh sakes I had no idea!

So Germany began building factory whaling ships to ply the Southern Ocean. At the time, commercial whaling had been decimated in the North Atlantic and North Pacific. German whaling ships were operating far from home, so the idea of establishing an Antarctic base seemed like a good idea. In August 1936, the German Foreign Office found some unclaimed territory in Antarctica between Norwegian and British zones and an expedition to explore and claim the region between 20 degrees east and 10 degrees west—part of an area known as Queen Maud Land—took shape.
The expedition was organized in the summer of 1938, led by Capt. Alfred Ritscher, a decorated World War I naval commander who had married a prominent Jewish artist. He selected his crew for the secretive mission based on polar experience rather than membership in the Nazi party.

One the way home, the ship conducted scans of the seafloor along the Atlantic Ocean. The ship’s scientists detected seismic activity that they believed was a line of volcanoes running north to south along the middle of the Atlantic. Decades later, this line of volcanoes was found to be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a region where two of the Earth’s tectonic plates are pulling apart and forming new sections of the seafloor.
Much of the expedition’s science was either lost during the war, or kept under wraps until it was finally published in 1958.
Although tales of secret Nazi bases or lost Antarctic colonies still populate the internet and make good TV fodder, there’s no evidence that Hitler had any further interest in the frozen continent after this expedition returned. Co-author Summerhayes wrote a 2007 journal article spelling out how people have been confusing other military activity after World War II in the region with the earlier Nazi-commissioned expedition. Germany would not set up its first permanent station in Antarctica until 1981.

******************************
A secret Nazi military base in the Arctic has been discovered by Russian scientists.
The site – located on the island of Alexandra Land 1,000km from the North Pole 0150 was constructed in 1942, a year after Adolf Hitler invaded Russia.
It was codenamed “Schatzgraber” or “Treasure Hunter” by the Germans and was primarily used as a tactical weather station.
The base was abandoned when the scientists stationed there were poisoned by polar bear meat in 1944 and had to be rescued by a German U-boat.
It has been rediscovered 72 years later and more than 500 objects have been found, including a batch of well preserved documents, the Daily Mail reported.
The ruins of bunkers, rusted bullets and other relics dating from the Second World War have been discovered at the site, many of which remain in a good condition having been preserved by the cold weather.
The island was vital during the Second World War as the meterological reports it produced were essential for planning the movement of troops, submarines and ships.
The name given to the base has led some to believe it may have had another secret mission – with some specialists speculating that it might have been used for the pursuit of ancient relics.
Alexandra Land was a disputed territory for a number of years but is now part of the Russian Federation.
Russia is thought to be looking to build its own permanent military base there today,

NIKK..now cleaned up...
Thanks for this interesting info.
So what WAS John Kerry doing in the Artic just before heading to NZ days before their disastrous earthquake.
And just WHAT is there?
We have been hearing for years of scientists working to control the weather, are they working to control natural disasters too?
Thank you Rusty. Still have prayers up for you!
Watching the “Money Honey” Maria, she reports that the WH letter to Nasty goes out tomorrow.
Attorney for 1st WB is now saying he represents multiple WB.
Which rule is this, OVERWHELM THE OPPOSITION?
Lindsay on now, says Biden is the biggrst loser of the WB complaint, Biden has a heart attack and Nasty is now TRAPPED!!
Explaining why there needs to be a vote for impeachment to those who still can’t understand that.
Needs to look at Biden and rhe Ukraine’s connection to getting “dirt” on Trump.
Need a Special Council to look into the Bidens.
Mitt Romney has reason to worry about Trump looking into Ukraine, and it isn’t just wanting to run again and lose in 2020. Romney’s foreign policy adviser from 2012 is Cofer Black, who is a mentor to John Brennan. During 911 he headed counter terrorism at the CIA and disregarded all warnings about the terrorists while Brennan personally overrode all denials and stamped their passports at the embassy in Jeddah. Brennan was Tenet’s guys. Mitt Romney is a traitor who associates with traitors.

Good Morning Gran and all.....
Honestly, Bill Barr and his gang need to start bringing some charges forward.....the liars have the momentum and they need to be flipped from offense to defense.
We visited our daughter in Monticello, UT on our way home from vacation.
She raises the poodle mixes that I can be around without blowing and sneezing and coughing my head off.
I really want a Bernedoodle.
Wish hubby would relent and welcome a puppy.
How much trouble would I be in if I just got one?
Hmmmmmmmm.......
Thanks.
Thanks Gran, mine are both allergy free dogs.

Good morning!
Are you watching Maria?
Ratcliffe calling for Schitt to be put under oath as to his involvement with the “leaker.”
Schitt making up the rules on how Horowitz can be interviewed, just told them this morning what they were.
Says they SHOULD follow protocol.
Really, wouldn’t that be novel?
Papa-doc on now.
We have heard his testimony before but many have not so it is good for Maria to have him on again before ALL breaks wide open.
I still have faith in the PLAN.
Good for Radcliffe!!!
And he is so good looking also, ll.

We have been lied to and kept in the dark for so long.
And they almost got away with it but for Trump willing to sacrifice all and a loving Lord.
As we learn more, I'm afraid I have lost the ability to be shocked, wouldn't put anything past these evil ones.
It sure does feel like we have been living in a surreal world.
The half that isn’t poodle is not non-allergenic, just so you know.
