That is absolutely nuts - a major land invasion with the goal of permanent occupation against Russia, who has nukes ranging from tactical to theater to strategic. China wants Russia isolated and dependent on them so they can exploit the relationship, that’s it.
That is absolutely nuts and one of the worst takes I’ve heard - a major land invasion with the goal of permanent occupation against Russia, who has nukes ranging from tactical to theater to strategic. China wants Russia isolated and dependent on them so they can exploit the relationship, that’s it.
I love the middleware idea as a one-stop shop for verification that could then be used by other platforms. Passports would be a hard sell, but a phone number and one time payment would work well I think.
It is a coordinated group of the same people starting in the 90s with NIDS (Hal Puthoff, Robert Bigelow, Eric Davis, Kit Green, Lue Elizondo, George Knapp, et al.) through the 2000s with AAWSAP and AATIP. All the stuff happening currently can be traced to them and the ‘lore’ they’ve managed to build up over the years.
“Lue Elizondo (who is very much not a fringe person”
Lue Elizondo is a highly fringe person, and has been for decades. He ‘learned’ remote viewing from Hal Puthoff, and claims he used it to somehow remotely interact with insurgents in Afghanistan. He also claims that he routinely sees colorful orbs floating around his house. He has also been caught faking UFO footage.
Lue Elizondo has not been fringe for decades, he has a very long and established career in counter-intel. Also Mick West left out key details and context of the Nimitz encounter which is laughable if he's trying to purport his video as substantial analysis.
If you feel remote viewing isn’t fringe we can agree to disagree. But between that and having colorful orbs fly around his house Elizondo is clearly prone to making fantastical claims without evidence, which undermines any claims of UAP (despite his authority in counter-intel).
People are researching it, there is funding for it [1]. It’s a challenging thing to research.
Is it microplastics or nanoplastics or both?
How many types of plastic are there, half a dozen? What type of plastic do you want to test, what about multiple plastics in different proportions?
It can be difficult to identify mechanisms behind adverse reactions to more obvious stressors, let alone something like this which appears more chronic, long-term, and insidious.
> How many types of plastic are there, half a dozen?
Several dozen major ones, starting at cellulose.
And before you think I'm missing the point: Well, no, cellulose didn't biodegrade for what IIRC several hundred million years. That's why there's no such coal.
If you want to point to a single factor as having / not having an effect between 2 groups you need to account for other factors. You could setup a statistical model.
So to be clear, the fact that policemen in the US/UK do/don’t carry guns and have higher/lower crime rate doesn’t prove anything on its own.
I am merely presenting it in an honest manner as having more to it than just rhetoric made up on the spot from the comfort of my keyboard, while also not insinuating the credibility of being able to quote other people who agree.
