Space Travel Can Cause Brain Damage
A new study led by the University of Gothenburg has found that extended space travel can cause brain damage. The negative effects on the body associated with long periods in space (including muscle atrophy, decreased bone mass, deteriorated vision, and altered gut microbiome) have been extensively documented, but this is the first study to analyze how long-duration space flights affect the human brain.
The scientists monitored five male Russian cosmonauts who stayed on the International Space Station (ISS), located approximately 400 kilometers from the Earth’s surface, for an average of 169 days. Blood samples from the cosmonauts were taken 20 days before their departure, as well as one day, one week, and three weeks after their return.

Scientists think the next big solar storm could create an ‘internet apocalypse’
According to Dr. Sangeetha Jyothi, a professor at University of California Irvine, such an event could potentially create an “internet apocalypse.” And as if that’s not scary enough by itself, her research also suggests that this frightening scenario could come to pass sometime in the next two decades. She argues that a rare solar superstorm is likely to cripple parts of the global internet infrastructure and cause an outage that could last for months.

See the 42 biggest asteroids in our solar system in stunning detail
The asteroids were imaged using ESO’s Very Large Telescope, marking the most detailed observation of many of these bodies to date. They include well-known bodies like the dwarf planet Ceres, the metal asteroid Psyche, and asteroid Vesta, which was visited by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft in 2011. But they also include lesser-known oddities like the bone-shaped Kleopatra or the flattened, elongated Sylvia.

Volcanic ash halts flights on Spanish island
Planes were grounded on La Palma, one of Spain's Canary Islands, for the second straight day Sunday because of ash from a volcano that began erupting a month ago.
Airlines scrapped all 38 flights scheduled for Sunday, most of them to and from other islands in the Atlantic archipelago off Morocco, an airport spokesman said.
Only four of the 34 flights scheduled for Saturday went ahead as planned.

THE ADMINISTRATION CALLS FOR NAVY SEALS TO PAY BACK THE MONEY SPENT TRAINING THEM IF THEY REFUSE THE C19 JAB
The directive issued on Thursday stated that the military may seek "recoupment of bonuses, incentive pays, and the cost of training and education for service members refusing the vaccine.” Lt. Col. U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Michael Berry, who serves as general counsel for the First Liberty Institute, had this to say in response:
"Purging our military of its elite service members is detrimental to national security. Doing so because the Commander in Chief refuses to accommodate their religious convictions is abhorrent to the Constitution..."
"Remove a SEAL from special warfare, reduce his salary, and force him to repay his training is purely vindictive and punitive. And it’s illegal.” [ Article ]

“Why are you choosing to not receive a COVID-19 vaccine?” This is a common question being asked by our friends, family, and physicians these days who genuinely care about our health and well-being. And we (my wife and I) sincerely appreciate that concern. This simple question has a complex answer that a 15-minute conversation does not afford. This document is certainly not exhaustive, but it is intended to help communicate the reasons “Why” using data, people’s own words, medical journals, and mainstream news sources.

Consumer Goods Giant to Raise Prices on More Staples, Blames Increase in Cost on Raw Materials
Procter & Gamble Co. said it will raise prices on a number of household staple goods as the cost for raw materials and freight has increased faster than it had anticipated.
The company, which makes a range of products including Tide and Charmin, said it would begin to charge more for oral care, beauty, and razors. Earlier this year, Procter & Gamble said it would charge more for toilet paper and diapers.
The new price hikes are not being implemented on all its products, but they will be marked for specific items such as razors and in some sub-categories, CFO Andre Schulten told Reuters. U.S. retailers are aware of the new sticker prices, he added.
Global supply chains are under strain due to factors such as a resurgence of COVID-19 lockdowns in Asia and labor shortages in the United States, leading to a surge in raw material prices that is also squeezing profits at Unilever and Reckitt Benckiser.

NATO’s COGNITIVE WARFARE
NATO is spinning out a new kind of combat it has branded cognitive warfare. Described as the “weaponization of brain sciences,” the new method involves “hacking the individual” by exploiting “the vulnerabilities of the human brain” in order to implement more sophisticated “social engineering.”
A NATO-backed study conceded that the military alliance is developing offensive tactics against civilian populations - stating, “The human is very often the main vulnerability and it should be acknowledged in order to protect NATO’s human capital but also to be able to benefit from our adversaries’s vulnerabilities.”
In a chilling disclosure, the report said explicitly that “the objective of Cognitive Warfare is to harm societies -- not only the military.”
NATO’s development of hybrid warfare comes at a time when member states’ military campaigns are targeting domestic populations on an unprecedented level.

GOVERNMENT & CORPORATE ELITE "LEADERSHIP" ARE ERASING FOOTAGE TO CENSOR MASSIVE TRIESTE PROTESTS AGAINST THE GREEN PASS
Every single live webcam I checked for #Trieste in Italy showed the same empty square. When in fact it’s PACKED FULL of protestors. When/where else have they done this?
“The past was erased,
the erasure was forgotten,
the lie became the truth”
~ George Orwell
This is truly surreal in every sense of the word. Here is the truth about the tremendous protests in Trieste, uncovered by the media. [ Article ]

Record Number of Container Ships Waiting Off Ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles: Executive
The United States’ largest container port now has a record backlog of ships and containers, according to Gene Seroka, the executive director of the Port of Los Angeles.
“We have about two weeks’ worth of work sitting at anchor right now,” Seroka told CNN, adding that port workers are currently trying to prioritize the cargo that needs to move from the port as soon as possible.
Some 200,000 shipping containers remain on ships off the coast, he added.
“There’s product that needs to get out there in super-fast speed,” he said. “Think about the toys, the other Christmas product, and parts and components for factories.”
His comment comes just days after President Joe Biden announced that the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have committed to 24/7 shifts to alleviate supply chain bottlenecks ahead of the Christmas shopping season.
