NASA Citizen Scientists Spot Object Moving 1 Million Miles Per Hour

Most familiar stars peacefully orbit the center of the Milky Way. But citizen scientists working on NASA’s Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project have helped discover an object moving so fast that it will escape the Milky Way’s gravity and shoot into intergalactic space. This hypervelocity object is the first such object found with the mass similar to or less than that of a small star.  

Backyard Worlds uses images from NASA’s WISE, or Wide-field Infrared Explorer, mission, which mapped the sky in infrared light from 2009 to 2011. It was re-activated as NEOWISE (Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) in 2013 and retired on Aug. 8, 2024.

A few years ago, longtime Backyard Worlds citizen scientists Martin Kabatnik, Thomas P. Bickle, and Dan Caselden spotted a faint, fast-moving object called CWISE J124909.08+362116.0, marching across their screens in the WISE images. Follow-up observations with several ground-based telescopes helped scientists confirm the discovery and characterize the object. These citizen scientists are now co-authors on the team’s study about this discovery published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters (a pre-print version is available here).

“I can’t describe the level of excitement,” said Kabatnik, a citizen scientist from Nuremberg, Germany. “When I first saw how fast it was moving, I was convinced it must have been reported already.”

New Video Appears to Show DC Police Units Planting a J6 Pipe Bomb

One of the great mysteries about the January 6, 2021, events is the lack of curiosity by the FBI about who planted the pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC headquarters.   Amid all of the available CCTV video and surveillance technology exploited by the justice department, their transparent unwillingness to identify the pipe bomber has always been a dog that did not bark.

The Occam’s Razor explanation for why DC and federal law enforcement have been incurious, points to law enforcement actually planting the bombs.  New CCTV video seems to show exactly that.

Shortly after 12:51pm a DC police SUV appears next to the park bench where the pipe bomb was discovered. [Video Below] A man with a bag exits the SUV, points to the bench, pulls up his right coat collar to obscure his face from the camera located across the street, then walks to the bench with the bag.  The “pipe bomb” device allegedly was found at 1:05 p.m. by a plainclothes officer from the Capitol Police.

I am not going to repeat the reporting above, the timelines therein, or the granular details painstakingly outlined.  The research is solid, informative and accurate.  Instead, my focus is about “why” the pipe bombs were planted.

Dozens of Israeli settlers attack West Bank village, burn cars and kill a Palestinian in violence condemned by US as mediators hold new round of talks to end war in Gaza

Dozens of Israeli settlers surged into a Palestinian village in the West Bank yesterday, burning cars and killing at least one person, Israeli authorities admitted yesterday.

The Palestinian health ministry said one 23-year-old man was killed and another suffered a critical gunshot wound in the chest when Israeli settlers opened fire in the village of Jit, the latest in a series of attacks by violent settlers in the West Bank.

Shocking footage circulated on social media showed houses and cars smouldering after being set alight by Molotov cocktails thrown by the Israeli settlers. 

The fatal attacks came hours after an Israeli airstrike in the West Bank killed two other young Palestinians. 

More than 600 Palestinians in the West Bank have been killed since October 7, most of whom died as a result of incursions by Israeli settlers.

Given that 10/7 was a MIHOP attack, what we have been seeing ever since is Israeli tribalism, the cleanest moral explanation for which is it is based on their need to honor Israelis killed by the IDF both directly and indirectly on 10/7. Less clean is their perceived need to stick together and/or avoid the embarrassment of openly admitting the truth. There was a short pause after 10/7 as the tribe processed the event and absorbed its moral options. Then the savagery doubled and redoubled into wholesale slaughter and banishment of all Palestinians, while also provoking a regional war, even WW3. This illustrates the moral agony of being human. And also the moral agony of tribalism. Westerners who cannot see this with clarity should reflect on how much they have lost touch with human origins, which are manifestly tribal. Israelis or Jews are just one tribe in this world. Almost the entire rest of the world is tribal except the West. Digital babies, if we make it that far, will maybe work the tribal embolism out of human civilization, but the urge is so strong even that may fail and make it worse. ABN

Walmart AI reorganizes product catalog 100x faster than humans

CEO Doug McMillon said on the post-earnings call with analysts that Walmart was finding “tangible ways” to leverage generative artificial intelligence to improve customer, member and employee experiences.

One area where Walmart is using generative AI is its product catalog, where it’s used multiple large language models to create or improve over 850 million pieces of data in the catalog.

“Without the use of generative AI, this work would have required nearly 100 times the current head count to complete in the same amount of time and for associates picking online orders, showing them high-quality images of product packages helps them quickly find what they’re looking for,” McMillon said, according to an AlphaSense transcript.

McMillon added that customers and members will get more help shopping on Walmart’s website and app with a new AI shopping assistant that will provide shopping advice and ideas.

Crooks body ‘released for cremation 10 days after assassination’, preventing proper investigation

The body of Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks has ‘gone’, a congressman revealed in a report last night accusing the FBI of a ‘scorched earth’ investigation. 

Rep. Clay Higgins, a Louisiana Republican who was appointed to Congress‘ bipartisan task force reviewing the assassination attempt, tried to view Crooks’ body on August 5 as part of his own personal inspection. 

The former police captain said his request to view the body ’caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact’.

It was at this point that he learned that the FBI had ‘released the body for cremation 10 days’ after the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.

Higgins says ‘nobody knew’ that the body had been returned to the family, including the county coroner and local enforcement. He writes that the coroner still had ‘legal authority over the body’ when the FBI made this decision and accuses the agency of ‘obstruction’.

…’Again, similar to releasing the crime scene and scrubbing crime scene biological evidence… this action by the FBI can only be described by any reasonable man as an obstruction to any following investigative effort.’

Official coverups, like false flags, are typically 80% or more out in the open. When top authorities are malfeasant, there is no higher authority to stop them. We saw this with the bogus JFK and 9/11 investigations. We saw it with WMD in Iraq and the absurd pretext for the Ukraine War. We can see it ongoing in Israel where Israelis appear to have no choice but to accept the official story and revel in revenge based on that lie, which is too obvious for words. All of covid is and was yet another example. No higher authority to stop them is one explanation for transparent coverups, but three more are: 1) most people do not notice or are easily persuaded by official information channels; and 2) those of us that see often become jaded because the malfeasance is pervasive; and 3) sadly, many who can see sellout to bribes in the form of money, social media followers, or employment, or threats of loss of employment or worse.

Clan vs individual

Centuries ago the Catholic Church destroyed clans across Europe and much good came from that. It freed people from tribal bonds and taught them to cooperate with strangers. The bad that came from that is today the West is overrun with clans and has no idea how to protect itself or even that it should protect itself. Westerners must understand the foes they are facing and deal with them appropriately. It is never a good idea to remain mired in an old morality that no longer applies. ABN

World Health Organization declares ultra-deadly monkeypox strain a public health emergency of international concern

The World Health Organization today declared an ultra-deadly strain of monkeypox a global public health emergency.

Officials said that an outbreak of the virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its neighboring countries posed ‘international concern’ – the WHO’s highest level of alert.

The hope is to speed up research and accumulate more funding and public health measures to contain the virus, which is more infectious and several times deadlier than the one that caused the global outbreak in 2022.

No cases of the new strain have been reported in the US or the UK yet, but the American CDC is urging doctors to be extra vigilant for symptoms like skin rashes and lesions.

The virus is still spreading primarily through sex and is primarily affecting gay and bisexual men.

US Congress to investigate controversial Peru ‘alien’ mummies amid fears they could be linked to UFOs

Peru’s famous ‘alien mummies’ are set for the US, where Congress has pledged to crack the mysterious cases once and for all. 

Republican Tim Burchett, known for his outspoken criticism of the US government’s UFO secrecy, vowed to assemble ‘the most important people in the world’ to examine the bodies, which some scientists claim harbor ’30 percent unknown’ DNA.

The congressman said he would initiate this new analysis at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in his home state.

The team at Tennessee have obtained half-a-million dollars from the Department of Justice late last year to better understand skeletal remains and ‘relic DNA.’
