Vatican to publish updated norms for investigating alleged apparitions

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith will publish its new norms for the discernment of apparitions and other supernatural phenomena May 17, the Vatican press office said.

The last time the Vatican’s doctrinal office issued norms for evaluating alleged apparitions and reports of supernatural events was in February 1978.

At the time, the prefect, Cardinal Franjo Seper, said the norms were necessary given how news of alleged apparitions spreads rapidly thanks to the mass media. “Moreover, the ease of going from one place to another fosters frequent pilgrimages, so that Ecclesiastical Authority should discern quickly about the merits of such matters,” he wrote.

…The Vatican’s 1978 rules entrust to the local bishop the initial evaluation of alleged apparitions of Mary or weeping statues or supposed messages from God, Mary or the saints.

The first things to look for, it said, are “true theological and spiritual doctrine” free of error and that the person reporting the phenomenon is psychologically balanced, honest, leads a morally upstanding life and is obedient to church authority.

Changes in Earth’s core and mantle leading to significant shifts in Earth’s climate and rotational dynamics

@EthicalSkeptic AI Summary:

The article “Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Dzhanibekov Oscillation Theory” explores a hypothesis that links changes in Earth’s core and mantle to significant shifts in Earth’s climate and rotational dynamics. Here is a simpler breakdown of its main points: 

@EthicalSkeptic 2/5 A process called exothermic core-mantle decoupling is taking place, where the Earth’s core transfers heat to the mantle. This process, previously misinterpreted as solely due to human activities, could be significantly affecting Earth’s climate. 

3/5 Following the heat transfer, a phenomenon similar to the Dzhanibekov effect observed in space physics, where a body flips unexpectedly while rotating. In Earth’s case, this could mean a dramatic shift in the position of the geographic North Pole due to changes in the density and rotation of the mantle. 

4/5 The theory introduces two critical points:

The Indigo Point is the beginning phase of these changes, where actions set in motion are not easily noticed but lead to significant outcomes.

The Tau Point marks a crucial tipping point where these changes become irreversible and clearly observable. 

5/5 A link between the Earth’s core-mantle, large-scale environmental and rotational changes challenges scientific understanding. Catastrophic changes could be underway. New ways to understand geological & environmental data are urgently needed before reaching the critical Tau Point.

The longer article from which AI extracted the summary above: Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Dzhanibekov Oscillation (ECDO) Theory. TES has been a saint during covid and beyond. He is also very interesting on how heat from the earth’s core is affecting earth’s climate by warming our oceans. I am using the AI extract above in the hope that it will prompt more readers to delve into TES’s work on climate change. Most of us know the oceans have suddenly heated up at a (modern) unprecedented rate. Since there is nothing new enough happening in the atmosphere, it seems highly likely that something is happening in the deep ocean. When that much water gets that much hotter fast, obviously the atmosphere will also heat up. ABN

The government has recovered non-human technology w/ Ashton Forbes

UPDATE: Very good video, well-worth viewing. It covers the MH370 incident with some new takes and also widens the discussion beyond that flight to what the technology means and where it may have come from. Lots of info in many directions with no dull sections. Ashton also laudably declares he is not looking for or taking money for his contributions, which is a good way to keep your mind clear of low interference. ABN

Top politicians and Elon Musk know about secret technology

This entire scenario could also be nothing more than a psyop designed to freak out Russia and China, primary enemies of the Western cabal. I am enjoying this story and want to emphasize that it is just as likely Forbes has stumbled onto precisely what he thinks he has, a super technology. Is this tech something invented by humans or does it come from aliens or beings from other dimensions? That tech like this has the capacity to be the most powerful weapon ever controlled by humans is what makes it intimidating to Western rivals while also allowing for Western (apparent) recklessness.

NOAA says tonight’s ‘cannibal’ solar storm could be worst in 165 YEARS and cause GPS and power outages – as they reveal exact time it’ll hit

Earth could suffer the worst solar storm in 165 years as six streams of plasma that erupted from the sun this week are set to make crash into our atmosphere tonight.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) revealed today that the worst-case scenario would be what happened during the 1859 Carrington event, which set telegraph stations on fire, cutting communications worldwide.

In our modern-day society, a geomagnetic storm of that magnitude could cause widespread electrical disruptions, blackouts and damage to critical infrastructure.

The event could also trigger magnificent nighttime auroras, or the northern lights, which will be visible in the US starting around 11pm ET and lasting through Saturday.

Scientists will know how severe the storm will be at around around 8 pm ET when the explosions of plasma racing through space will be nearly one million miles from our planet – and NOAA plans to issue alerts immediately.

Astronomers say the first alien Dyson spheres may be discovered

Scientists continue to search for extraterrestrial civilizations, although they have not yet been successful. The authors of a new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Academy of Sciences believe that technosignatures of potential aliens in the form of Dyson spheres may have already been discovered.

A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical structure that could only be built by a highly advanced civilization. Such structures must be created around stars in order to harness all their energy.

According to the well-known Kardashev scale, only a Type II civilization could create something like this. As Focus has already written , scientists believe that humanity has not even reached the level of Type I civilization.

Study that shows these results: Project Hephaistos – II. Dyson sphere candidates from Gaia DR3, 2MASS, and WISE

Abstract

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is currently being pursued using multiple techniques and in different wavelength bands. Dyson spheres, megastructures that could be constructed by advanced civilizations to harness the radiation energy of their host stars, represent a potential technosignature, that in principle may be hiding in public data already collected as part of large astronomical surveys. In this study, we present a comprehensive search for partial Dyson spheres by analyzing optical and infrared observations from Gaia, 2MASS, and WISE. We develop a pipeline that employs multiple filters to identify potential candidates and reject interlopers in a sample of five million objects, which incorporates a convolutional neural network to help identify confusion in WISE data. Finally, the pipeline identifies 7 candidates deserving of further analysis. All of these objects are M-dwarfs, for which astrophysical phenomena cannot easily account for the observed infrared excess emission.

MAINE: Judge Dismisses Mom’s Lawsuit Against Damariscotta School for (allegedly) Hiding Her Child’s Gender Transition

The United States District Court for the District of Maine has dismissed a Maine mother’s lawsuit against the Great Salt Bay Community School (GSBCS) Board for withholding information about her child’s gender transition.

District Court Judge Jon D. Levy released his decision this past Friday that the mother — Amber Lavigne — failed to state a claim because the facts provided in this case were insufficient to establish municipal liability.

Since the judge’s reasoning was based solely on Lavigne’s inability to show that the municipality could legally be found responsible for the alleged violations, he did not address the underlying constitutional questions associated with Lavigne’s claims.

In December of 2022, Lavigne discovered that a 26-year-old social worker by the name of Samuel Roy had given her 13-year-old child two breast binders — garments designed to conceal the appearance of a female’s breasts — and provided instructions on their use.

FDA says it’s preparing for a bird flu pandemic in people that could kill one in four Americans

The FDA is gearing up for a bird flu pandemic in people that could kill one in four of those it infects, the agency’s top official has revealed.

Dr Robert Califf told a Senate Committee that officials were drawing up plans to roll out tests, antiviral drugs and vaccines in the event the virus jumps to humans.

But he emphasized the risk of it spreading to people was still low, with only one person infected so far – a farm worker in Texas in March.

‘This virus, like all viruses, is mutating,’ he told the policymakers. ‘We need to continue to prepare for the possibility that it might jump to humans.’

‘[The] real worry is that it will jump to the human lungs where, when that has happened in other parts of the world… the mortality rate has been 25 percent.’
