The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, keeps releasing random bursts of radiation on a daily basis and no one can figure out what is causing it.

These bursts ranged from tens to hundreds of times brighter than the normal signals sent out by the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy, but they don't appear to follow a discernable pattern.

The data from 2006 to 2008 show high levels of gamma-ray activity, followed by a rapid four-year-long drop, after which activity shot back up, starting in 2012.

it will supernova and destroy earth if a legitimate government is not restored

Thought “ science “ said nothing could escape a black hole. Not even light.

So much for settled science.

Nothing can Escape but the process of Being sucked into a black hole causes it to release all kinds of energy before It hits the Event Horizon

This is just random sh*t falling into the black hole and or Cosmic dust between us and the Line of sight ....

Sagittarius A? That thing blew up about 25,896 years ago. The wavefront will be here anytime now.
