First Image of our Milky Way Galaxy’s Supermassive Black Hole

Last updated on: May 12, 2022 at 1:12 pm By Kermit Zarley

The first image of the supermassive black hole in our Milky Way Galaxy was shown by astronomers today at 9:07 AM ET in a series of special events in seven cities around the globe. Here in the U.S., it was shown at a meeting of the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The image was captured many months ago by a consortium of powerful, space-observation telescopes located around the Earth, called the Event Horizon Telescope. The expression “event horizon” refers...

Musk Says “Twitter Is a War Zone” But Most People Like Peace

Last updated on: May 12, 2022 at 12:42 am By Kermit Zarley

Elon Musk absolutely loves Twitter. He is one of the most prolific tweeter’s on this modern, media platform in the world. He certainly likes to speak his mind. I don’t know how he does it while also running multiple, big corporations. The Time Person of the Year, 2021, has the 6th most Twitter followers, presently at 91 million. Elon says he’s not buying Twitter to make money, but to make it a better public square for discourse. The guy certainly... Read more

How Defense Secretary Mark Esper Managed President Trump

Last updated on: May 11, 2022 at 12:21 pm By Kermit Zarley

Mark T. Esper was President Donald Trump’s Secretary of the Army for 14 months and then Secretary of Defense for 19 months until Trump fired him on November 9, 2020, right after Trump lost re-election. Esper’s new book, A Sacred Oath, is one of the more revealing books to be released lately by especially Trump White House insiders. It is obvious to me that Mark T. Esper is a man you can believe. So, you can trust what he’s saying... Read more

U.S. Congress to Re-Open Inquiry about UFOs/UAPs

Last updated on: May 10, 2022 at 11:47 pm By Kermit Zarley

One week from today–over fifty years after the U.S. government put its investigation of unidentified flying objects to rest–a subcommittee of the House Intelligence Committee will reopen this subject in a long-awaited, public hearing on UFOs, which are now being called “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UPSs). It will discuss a nine-page report submitted by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence entitled “Preliminary Assessment.” This report is about a government investigation of 144 UAPs dating back from 2004 to more...

U.S. Top Brass Should Shut Up about Helping Ukraine

Last updated on: May 8, 2022 at 6:30 pm By Kermit Zarley

In a previous post, on April 27th, entitled “Putin Threatens the U.S. for Arming Ukraine,” I said the following: “Both Putin and Lavrov have been talking about, even vaguely threatening with, the possible use of nuclear arms in the Ukraine war or against those nations supporting Ukraine. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said yesterday such “loose talk” about using nuclear weapons is “irresponsible.” He met with leaders of 40 countries in Germany this week to discuss Putin’s War in Ukraine.”...

China’s COVID Zero-Tolerance Policy Is Not Disproving Democracy

Last updated on: May 6, 2022 at 11:52 am By Kermit Zarley

In the twentieth century, the Peoples Republic of China has been boasting that its fast-growing economy is proving that its autocratic political system is better than democratic systems. But both the inception of COVID-19 and China’s current zero-tolerance policy toward it are proving otherwise. COVID-19 originated in China largely because of the continuing tradition of Chinese people and other East Asians eating wild animals and using such in its traditional medicines. But many of these varieties of animals, such as... Read more

Will “The Greatest Game on Grass” Be Outlawed in the Southwest?

Last updated on: May 4, 2022 at 12:12 pm By Kermit Zarley

I’m referring to golf. “The Greatest Game on Grass” is what officials of the PGA Tour’s Phoenix Open, staged near where I live, used to call their most attended golf tournament in the world by far every year. But when they brought Waste Management along as their sponsor, the tournament’s focus shifted to being environmentally-friendly with the tagline altered to “The Greenest Show on Grass.” However, there’s a big problem here in the Southwest USA–DROUGHT! It’s been going on for... Read more

New Book Says All New Testament Docs Are Pre-70 AD

Last updated on: May 4, 2022 at 12:18 pm By Kermit Zarley

This book is by Jonathan Bernier (PhD, McMaster University) assistant professor of New Testament at Regis College, University of Toronto. It is entitled Rethinking the Dates of the New Testament: The Evidence for Early Composition (Baker Academic, 2022). And it is a game changer. How so? The dating of New Testament books and letters has some affect on deciding whether or not the New Testament identifies Jesus as God. I did a 28-year study on the subject of Jesus’ identity...

Did You Know that Adolf Hitler’s Name Was Hiedler, Not Hitler?

Last updated on: May 4, 2022 at 6:05 am By Kermit Zarley

That’s right! There is presently renewed discussion about Adolf Hitler’s ancestry. It’s because Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Sunday that he believed the conspiracy theory that Adolf Hitler had “Jewish blood.” This Lavrov statement so incensed Israeli officials that, yesterday, they summoned Russia’s ambassador to Israel to explain Lavrov’s remarks. Now for a little lesson in ancestry. Adolf Hitler’s maternal grandfather was named Alois. Baptismal records show that Alois was born “illegitimate.” There have been many theories about who...

Israel Is Incensed at Russia Saying Hitler Was Jewish

Last updated on: May 2, 2022 at 11:17 am By Kermit Zarley

Yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Ukraine’s Jewish president, Volodymyr Zelensky, of supporting Nazism and asserted that “Hitler also had Jewish blood.” Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid alleged Lavrov’s remarks were “both unforgivable and outrageous.” He also summoned Russia’s ambassador to Israel to explain Lavrov’s allegations. This looks like it could lead to Israel cutting off relations with Russia. Democratic Israel–unlike almost all other democratic nations in the world–has so far not publicly supported democratic Ukraine in its struggle... Read more
