A good friend of mine, Curtis, recently sent me a book–ANTICHRIST: How to Identify the Coming Imposter, by Pastor Charles Crismier. It’s an interesting and educational read so far, written by someone who has studied this material in depth over many decades. Its target audience is Christians, but so far I’ve seen enough fascinating material in the book to recommend it to anybody who is interested in “end times” prophesy, the “Antichrist,” and the history of past tyrannical leaders and systems (Note: I don’t make any money from the book link). History repeats itself, as we know, and… Those who...

They want their freedom to do that. But there comes a time...

Kasagi: Possible radiation from thin film metal surface with anomalous excess heat: Can we observe hot spots or Bremsstrahlung? J. Kasagi 1 , T. Itoh 1,2 and Y. Iwamura 1 1 Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University, Japan 2 Clean Planet Inc., Japan In the ICCF21, we reported that no radiations with photon energy higher than 50 keV were observed associated with the excess heat generation in NiCuZr-H2 system.

The judge ruled that Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees, whom Norwegian filed a lawsuit against over the vaccine...
