…The findings revealed that speech rhythm could reliably classify autistic participants versus neurotypical participants among both the English and Cantonese samples. However, speech intonation could only classify autistic participants versus neurotypical participants in the English sample. Further, when the researchers analyzed a combined dataset of both English and Cantonese speakers, only speech rhythm reliably classified autistic individuals from neurotypical participants.

The Big Bang didn’t happen: What do the James Webb images really show?
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.”
It is not too complicated to explain why these too small, too smooth, too old and too numerous galaxies are completely incompatible with the Big Bang hypothesis. Let’s begin with “too small”. If the universe is expanding, a strange optical illusion must exist. Galaxies (or any other objects) in expanding space do not continue to look smaller and smaller with increasing distance. Beyond a certain point, they start looking larger and larger. (This is because their light is supposed to have left them when they were closer to us.) This is in sharp contrast to ordinary, non-expanding space, where objects look smaller in proportion to their distance.

Houston, We Have a Problem (Part 1 of 3): The Ethical Skeptic
Seven of the major eleven International Classification of Diseases codes tracked by the US National Center for Health Statistics exhibit stark increase trends beginning in the first week of April 2021 – featuring exceptional growth more robust than during even the Covid-19 pandemic time frame. This date of inception is no coincidence, in that it also happens to coincide with a key inflection point regarding a specific body-system intervention in most of the US population. These seven pronounced increases in mortality alarmingly persist even now.
The following work is the result of thousands of hours of dynamic data tracking and research on the part of its author. The reader should anticipate herein, a journey which will take them through the methods and metrics which serve to identify this problem, along with a deductive assessment of the candidate causal mechanisms behind it. Alternatives as to cause which include one mechanism in particular, that is embargoed from being allowed as an explanation, nor even mere mention in some forums.
At the end of this process, we will be left with one inescapable conclusion. One which threatens the very fabric and future of health policy in the US for decades to come.

Edward Dowd Discusses 20% Increase In Excess Deaths In Working Age Adults After Vaccine Mandates

Birthplace of St. Peter FOUND: A 1,500-year-old Mosaic found with a prayer to ‘the chief and commander of the heavenly apostles’ suggests a town in northern Israel is the lost biblical city of Bethsaida – which was the disciple’s childhood home
Archeologists excavating the ruins of a 1st-century church in northern Israel uncovered a mosaic with an inscription in ancient Greek
The team translated the text to discover it is a prayer to Peter the Apostles, which suggests the church was built to commemorate his home in what was the city of Bethsaida
The dedication is a prayer for intercession to ‘the chief and commander of the heavenly apostles’
…Steven Notley, an archaeologists with Nyack College in New York, said in a statement: ‘This discovery is our strongest indicator that Peter had a special association with the basilica, and it was likely dedicated to him.
‘Since Byzantine Christian tradition routinely identified Peter’s home in Bethsaida, and not in Capernaum as is often thought today, it seems likely that the basilica commemorates his house.’
The ruins of the church also fit the account of Saint Willibald, a native of England and the Bavarian bishop of Eichstaett, who visited the area around 725 AD during a pilgrimage and said that a church at Bethsaida had been built on the site of Peter and Andrew’s home.
He reported: ‘And thence they went to Bethsaida, the residence of Peter and Andrew, where there is now a church on the site of their house.’

NO Need to Panic Over Man-Made Climate Change: Physicist & Engineer Brian Catt
“Chart below shows systemic disruption, not deferred screenings in odd/rare cancer mixes and off-season surges”
If the current cancer rise resulted from deferred screening, then cancer would rise, featuring its normal mix and seasonality – just more of it.
However, we are seeing odd/rare cancer mixes and off-season surges.
Chart below shows systemic disruption, not deferred screenings.
In other words, Covid deaths have fallen, but cancer deaths are rising nonetheless, and out of season, and in odd mixes.
As well, there exists an inflection point to this entire departure trend.

China’s CCP Concealed SARS-CoV-2 Presence in China as Far Back as March 2018
A world inquiring about the origins of SARS-CoV-2 has been met with repeated antipathy and lack of cooperation on the part of the Chinese Communist Party. Consequently, any speculation that the CCP concealed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 prior to December 2019 must be researched through an examination of corroborating yet circumstantial evidence. Inference which may be ascertained only through prosecution along a series of must-answer critical questions.
The Chinese Communist Party owes the entire world restitution for its negligent handling and release of a virus which they fully understood could be deployed as a weapon of war. A virus which has destroyed human rights, worldwide economies, and furthermore resulted in over 5 million deaths globally to date.

Note the date of this piece—11/15/21. Ethical Skeptic has consistently provided deeper and better analysis of covid than anyone I know of. The linked essay is still valid. I highly recommend his Twitter account for frequently updated, incisive insights into the history, evolution, and real-world effects of covid. ABN

For those who understand TES’s Exothermic Core Theory of Climate Change, the hypothesis predicts that a cooling period should coincide with a speed up in the Earth’s Rotation

Indeed our 6 year long cooling period coincides with an exceptional speed up in Earth's rotation.

Many of use have been deeply educated in covid pseudoscience and how governments used it to grab power while hospitals and corporations used it to grab money. Every day this complex model of government malfeasance coupled with medical cowardice and greed reveals how “climate science” has been operating. The techniques used by both are the same—censorship, fear, selective evidence, panic, no real debate, bullying. Both covid and climate change look most of all like complex mind-control psyops being worked on the entire human race. ABN
No Warming in U.S. for at Least 17 Years According to Rarely Referenced Urban Heat-Free Database
There has been no temperature warming for at least 17 years across the United States, according to results from a rarely referenced dataset that was designed to remove all urban heat distortions. The dataset, compiled by the Natural Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the U.S., shows oscillating temperature changes, but very little evidence to indicate a warming trend. In fact, the above graph clearly shows the United States to be cooler in May 2022 compared to May 2005.
The information is contained in the latest survey of all NOAA’s weather stations by the U.S. meteorologist Anthony Watts. The data is compiled from a select group of 114 stations across the country that have been specifically sited away from urban development. Called the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN), NOAA started it in 2005 and noted that it was aiming for “superior accuracy and continuity in places that land use will not likely impact during the next five decades”. Representative pictures of the weather stations, as seen in this 2013 science paper, show there is no sign of any urban development. In his latest survey of U.S. “Corrupted Climate Stations”, Anthony Watts notes the existence of USCRN, adding: “It is free of localised heat biases by design, but the data it produces is never mentioned in monthly or yearly climate reports published by NOAA for public consumption.”
The USCRN disclosures are the latest evidence suggesting global warming started to run out of steam over 20 years ago.
