At least two new minerals never seen on Earth have been identified within a 14-ton meteorite found in Somalia two years ago.
The minerals were found in a single two-ounce slice of the space rock, which was sent to the University of Alberta, believed to have discovered a potential third new mineral.
The two newly discovered minerals have been named elaliite and elkinstantonite, but no other details have been released.
The Inanity of Masking
I recently spent two weeks back in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was really nice to see my many friends there but the Community Mask Quotient (CMQ) is still way too high for my comfort level. It’s clearly a sign IMO that people are psychologically unwell. If you think that people walking alone outdoors or driving alone in their cars with masks & gloves on is a sign of strong mental health, then you probably are in the same camp as Christine h/t Larry.
On Saturday, on my drive northeast out of San Francisco (SF), I ended up talking with a longtime friend in Vancouver. He gave me his take on the state of things there and I shared my observations about SF. He shared how his son witnessed the recent death of a student at Point Grey High School. This is not being reported by the legacy media but the Grade 11 boy had a massive seizure and could not be revived. He added that “everyone is being very respectful by not asking questions”. I have a very different take on “why” people are not asking questions. Suffice to say, it involves a certain jab.
My friend is pretty middle-of-the-road politically and has long been focused on finding middle-of-the-road solutions. I’m not against this approach generally but do take a hard line on masking. It’s November 2022, not April 2020. How much longer are we, as a society, going to continue on with this Covid Theatre, especially given that the Danish Mask Study and the Bangladesh Mask Study strongly indicate that masking has had little to no effect. Plus, all of the masks-forever proponents completely ignore the massive damage masks have done to the learning abilities of children, as well as the general social fracturing they have contributed to. IMO masking needs to end and those of us with even a modicum of common sense need to set an example … as I did throughout my stay in SF.
So my friend’s insistence to find middle ground, followed by “what’s the harm of children masking in school every day?”, had us in a major disagreement, as I’ve outlined above. Masking of children must end. Period. That is not a “far right” stance.
As coincidences have it, this morning’s episode of their thrice weekly podcast, had Dr. Drew Pinsky & Adam Carolla discussing the topic. Pinsky referenced Dr. Vinay Prasad, who shared his thoughts on a very flawed recent study.

Daily Mail- America WILL still demand proof of Covid vaccination to enter the country in 2023
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has extended the rule, which only applies to non-US citizens, until at least January 8 next year to ‘limit the risk of Covid-19, including variants of the virus’.
Most major Western nations such as the UK, France and Germany, have already dropped these types of recommendations. The countries still requiring Covid vaccination to enter are: China, Angola, Libya, Ghana, Cameroon, Liberia, Yemen, Indonesia, Pakistan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan.
The Biden Administration and CDC dropped the requirement for international travelers to the US to provide a negative Covid test in June, but will not budge on the need for Covid shots. This means vaccinated people can fly even if they are testing positive for the virus.

Trust the Evidence- Breast Implants: Deadly Devices
In the 1890s, paraffin was injected into breasts to increase their size. But the paraffin leaked, and the technique was abandoned. In the 20s and 30s, surgeons tried transferring fat – also not a good idea. And in the 50s, cartilage, wood, and even glass balls were used – the side effects were disastrous. In 1962, Timmie Jean Lindsey, in Houston, Texas, was the world’s first to undergo breast augmentation surgery using silicone implants.

The State of Florida- New Mrna COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance
This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks.
As such, the State Surgeon General recommends against males aged 18 to 39 from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Those with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when making this decision.

Google stopped functioning as a search engine years ago. Good to see someone is finally admitting it.
Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary for Global Communications at the United Nations at WEF ‘Disinformation’ event: “We partnered with Google,” said Fleming, adding, “for example, if you Google ‘climate change,’ you will, at the top of your search, you will get all kinds of UN resources. We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled ‘climate change,’ we were getting incredibly distorted information right at the top. So we’re becoming much more proactive. We own the science, and we think that the world should know it, and the platforms themselves also do.”
During the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Sustainable Development Impact Meetings last week, the unelected globalists held a panel on “Tackling Disinformation” where participants from the UN, CNN, and Brown University discussed how to best control narratives.

Nevermind the eyewitness accounts, Science had explained;
Mysterious mounds in the southwest corner of the Amazon Basin were once the site of ancient urban settlements, scientists have discovered. Using a remote-sensing technology to map the terrain from the air, they found that, starting about 1,500 years ago, ancient Amazonians built and lived in densely populated centres, featuring 22-metre-tall earthen pyramids, that were encircled by kilometres of elevated roadways.
The complexity of these settlements is “mind blowing”, says team member Heiko Prümers, an archaeologist at the German Archaeological Institute headquartered in Berlin.
“This is the first clear evidence that there were urban societies in this part of the Amazon Basin,” says Jonas Gregorio de Souza, an archaeologist at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain. The study adds to a growing body of research indicating that the Amazon — long thought to have been pristine wilderness before the arrival of Europeans — was home to advanced societies well before that.

Trust the Evidence- The SARS-CoV-2 transmission riddle – Part 3
Learning point: The lower the Ct, the higher the chance of infectivity: this is due to the nature of PCR which amplifies the target viral components through a series of cycles. The higher the concentration of viral components in the sample, the sooner the amplifications stop and the lower the number of cycles needed to identify the component.
However, those people with pre-existing pathologies or whose immune system is partly compromised may continue excreting infectious particles for a very long time, with a Ct which dips when they become infectious and may go up again when their defences are successfully fighting the virus.
For the vast majority of healthy people, though, peak infectiousness lasts just a few days before the infection wanes. Sometimes it precedes the onset of symptoms, or there are no symptoms at all, or the symptoms are minimal. When their immune systems have successfully neutralized the virus, they may continue to expel fragments for weeks or even months. These are picked up by PCR, but their good health and high Ct should testify to their recovered status – if you record the details.
Herein lies the insanity of mass screening with PCR in the absence of sufficient information and detailed follow-up of each person tested. It explains why so many people still test “positive” even though they are no longer infectious.

To everyone who sees them, the new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images of the cosmos are beautifully awe-inspiring. But to most professional astronomers and cosmologists, they are also extremely surprising—not at all what was predicted by theory. In the flood of technical astronomical papers published online since July 12, the authors report again and again that the images show surprisingly many galaxies, galaxies that are surprisingly smooth, surprisingly small and surprisingly old. Lots of surprises, and not necessarily pleasant ones. One paper’s title begins with the candid exclamation: “Panic!”
Why do the JWST’s images inspire panic among cosmologists? And what theory’s predictions are they contradicting? The papers don’t actually say. The truth that these papers don’t report is that the hypothesis that the JWST’s images are blatantly and repeatedly contradicting is the Big Bang Hypothesis that the universe began 14 billion years ago in an incredibly hot, dense state and has been expanding ever since. Since that hypothesis has been defended for decades as unquestionable truth by the vast majority of cosmological theorists, the new data is causing these theorists to panic. “Right now I find myself lying awake at three in the morning,” says Alison Kirkpatrick, an astronomer at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, “and wondering if everything I’ve done is wrong.”
I’m no physicist, but the idea that all the matter in the known universe had once existed in the form of a particle the size of “nothing” always seemed patently ridiculous.
