deception

“For decades, the fossil fuel industry has known about the economic and climate harms of its products but has deceived the American public to keep collecting more than $600 billion each year in subsidies while raking in record-breaking profits,” Senate Budget Committee Chair Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said in a statement. “As this joint report makes clear, the industry’s outright denial of climate change has evolved into a green-seeming cover for its ongoing covert operation—a campaign of deception, disinformation, and doublespeak waged using dark money, phony front groups, false economics, and relentless exertion of political influence—to block climate progress.”

Disgusting. Sadly, not surprising. The corporate greed is just beyond ! And Americans pay the price, not just financially but with our very lives, with our health, and the health and lives of all living things on Earth. How can HBs turn this existence around? I don’t see it. Sometimes I just want to jump planes to try something else because this ain’t it.

This behavior reeks with memories of the Tobacco cases. Tobacco companies also hid their science and lied about their products. In that situation, people were sick and dying of cancer, emphysema, etc. Damages were easy to prove. With fossil fuel, not so much. Again I say, HBs pay the price.

Senate, House Dems: Oil companies pivoted from climate denial to ‘deception, disinformation, and doublespeak’

Major oil companies have internally conceded their public vows to reduce planet-warming emissions are incompatible with their business plans, according to a three-year report issued by Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee and the House Oversight Committee. The report, which builds on an Oversight probe that stalled out after Republicans took the House majority, includes…

Trump’s trial resumes: 5 takeaways from Tuesday’s proceedings in New York

The second week of testimony in former President Trump’s New York trial got underway Tuesday – and it was more eventful than expected, encompassing everything from a gag order ruling to new details around Trump’s alleged affairs. The former president faces 34 felony counts of falsification of business records.

    When he talks is it just noise? This business of him saying one thing and you doing another has to stop. He has the ear of Biden. He also has a short fuse. You will find yourselves looking for new jobs or dead.

  2. Y]9 says:

    Now you wish to discuss lifting the veil surrounding the field of understanding on Earth that reveals the arcane of alchemy and magic that will give way to medical science.

    How will this help us understand the Immortal?

    • F[6 says:

      Is it true that somewhere in Italy there is some Neapolitan baroque rococo in which the number and the position of the vases reveal the tree of life? Are some of us here to discover if the mysterical journey ended here?

      Some of us feel that it is not coincidental that the Immortal is on Earth at this time.

      • S[6 says:

        You cannot logically be referring to the “veiled Uterus.” It is merely a superstition concerning demons and the prevention of the miracle of birth.

        True there are beings from dimensions that our present day science cannot discern, but that does not make them or the things they can do magical? The operative fact is many have tried to end the life cycle of this immortal. So far it cannot be done. And as we have been forbidden to continue on that vein, I suggest that we look to our science for answers rather than Earth mythology to explain this immortal dilemma.

    They have two sexes. One has a pussy, the other a dick.

    • J]3 says:

      In the morning of the males’s youth the pussy wakes him. During most of his days it won’t let him sleep, but in the eve of his life it sometimes fails to rouse that atrophied thing between his legs. So he looks to his science to perform another miracle. It rewards him with viagra.

      Don’t look to the mysteries of these primitives for understanding. Their mythology reveals nothing to anyone. Be patient. Truth is the daughter of Time.

      • T]7 says:

        Don’t be so smug with your perceived superiority. The humans are studying this Immortal too. One word more, one word less they will know everything.

    According to Paul Simon, the title of his song “Mother and Child Reunion” was the name of a chicken-and-egg dish he lifted off a Chinese restaurant’s menu.

    • Helena says:

      Did You Know

      Since Korea was split in two after World War II, the Korean language spoken in North and South Korea has diverged enough that around 45 percent of North Korean defectors struggle to understand the Korean spoken in South Korea, and 1 percent of them can’t understand it at all.

    W*/` you came to Earth when it was much less polluted. At that time you were able to sustain all your needs from vast quantities of nitrogen in their atmosphere. Now they have polluted their atmosphere so much that your species risk death breathing their air.

    So now you wish to speed up the demise of their species so that you may return the Earth to its former pristine atmospheric conditions. Speeding up their demise by encouraging them to war against themselves with enticements of superior weaponry IS a violation of the NIE. As a mothership, you have nine days to vacate the Gate. This penalty will last for i^LMX.

    It has been discovered that the loss of appetite by those having been on the planet surface too long can be stimulated by an aperitif. Be careful that the % of alcohol is less than 45%, and that the amount is less that 21ml. This remedy applies to those motherships that come from the U//076 area of the Milky Way.

    Los Angeles has thousands of unclaimed dead. Your missing may be in that tally. When you send to Earth agents without the protection of the proper suit this can happen. Complaining to us for relief will find deaf ears.

    Note: Some places on Earth are more, much more dangerous that others for aliens without suits.

  8. Jamal says:

    Most research shows that environmental factors like oppression and injustice, rather than individual factors like personality or mental disorders, lead to radicalization and political violence. But recent work finds surprising links between symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), obsessive passion for one’s political or religious identity, and radical intentions. Results were consistent for environmental activists, Democrats, Republicans, and Muslims. Large-scale interventions to address OCD symptoms could potentially help target a root cause of terrorism.

    Middle Easterners are more prone to OCD than westerners. Westerners are just evil motherfuckers.

    Damn, it is so easy to fool people using a glurge — a sentimental or heart-rending story undermining its own inspirational message by distorting or ignoring the facts.

    The internet is full of them. Beware! Less you get caught up in a tale that is completely bogus designed to motivate you to do something or to believe a lie.

    It’s about time we got some of this action.

  11. K]3 says:

    What motivates beings like me to continue doing science is the fact that it keeps opening up more and more questions. Nothing is ultimately resolved.

    Perhaps it is true that the Gods enjoy their creations thinking that their science can solve all the mysteries of the Known Universe, only to add a new twist to what we thought our science had solved.

    • Hans says:

      Unexplainable isn’t about how scientists don’t know anything. Science is a process of narrowing a gap between the questions we have and the capabilities of our tools and know-how to answer them. In many cases, that gap appears closed. No one doubts, for instance, the existence of gravity.

      But even then, it is a scientist’s job to have intellectual humility, or at least to be open to the idea that there’s still a piece missing — as there is with gravity — knowing the results could just end up confirming what they thought in the first place.

      Really, science is about a big question: How do we know when we’ve completely learned something?

      • Grace says:

        Scientists don’t have all the answers, and they often disagree on which answers are even possible.

    • Ellen says:

      Humans are drawn to questions because they are optimistic. They invite us to dream of a better world in which they are answered, where the gaps between questions and our capabilities to answer them are smaller. Scientific knowledge is a gift we can give the future. It’s worth getting right.

  12. I]6 says:

    As we rush through space from a distance until we actually get within their gravitational pull we see those huge stars as tiny points of light. In reality, they are massive infernos. And while these stars seem astonishingly numerous to our eyes, they represent just the tiniest fraction of all the stars in our galaxy, let alone the universe.

    All the stars in all the galaxies in all the Known Universe barely even begin to account for all the stuff out there. Most of the matter in the universe is unseeable, untouchable, and, to this day, undiscovered.

    • K]6 says:

      I am one of the scientists working on the unexplained stuff that space travelers encounter as they traverse the Known Universe. We believe there is nine times more of this unexplained stuff in the Known Universe than the “normal matter” – the stuff that makes up you and me, stars, planets, black holes, and everything our motherships’ technology can see in the night sky or touch on the various planets we visit.
      It’s strange even calling all that “normal” matter because, in the grand scheme of the cosmos, normal matter is the rare stuff. But to this day, no one knows what the unexplained stuff that we encounter is.

  13. R*/` says:

    We can creat artificial life of various kinds from synthetics to cyborg, but to create life as we know it to be, not yet. Hence the fascination with the Immortal, a being that can morph into any life form or inert life form at will. How is this possible? The Immortal creates life in a bottle at will. If we can uncover its secret we may uncover not just the story of the origin of life in the Known Universe, but come to a definitive conclusion about how common life actually is in the Known Universe.

    Another reason to take up monitoring the Immortal with intervention as needed.

    • K]6 says:

      This “intervention” will not be permitted as LEi and LeI have dictated. We have taken up the research of Wolves and Dogs to discover how they can be genetically identical, sharing 99.9 percent of their DNA (and are more similar to each other than humans are to their close animal relatives, like chimps), yet they behave differently.
      Wolves “still have all of their natural hunting behaviors which dogs don’t have. Earth scientists still don’t know what precisely caused wolves and dogs to diverge from one another some 20,000 years ago. There are two main hypotheses. Either humans domesticated wolves through a painstaking and dangerous process (possibly involving breastfeeding wolf pups!), or the wolves, essentially, domesticated themselves by venturing closer and closer to human trash (i.e., food).

      The answer is more than just trivia. “A better understanding of how this might have happened long ago might give us a better understanding also to how animals and plants and such today might be able to — or not able to — adapt to humans or us.

      • E[7 says:

        Some scientists suggest it’s not possible to know the interior life of a human. After all they are just food.

          It’s impossible to completely predict how evolution will play out in the future, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try.

            What does it matter, as long as they are still edible.

          • H]7 says:

            I do not think it’s a really useful and important exercise in thinking about the forces that will shape the future of life on Earth after a nuclear holocaust, we need to think about how humans are changing their environments right now.

    It is now impossible to believe anything you see or hear on the net.

  15. H[9 says:

    J]6, You gave the humans the knowledge to synthesize the amino acid glycine, one of life’s most basic building blocks. They have yet to use that knowledge to better understand the Immortal. Why are we not permitted to use our science directly to experiment upon it?

  16. J]6 says:

    Manipulating humans has not always been easy. Yes, we devised ways to manipulate the sound that enters their ears, the light that enters their eyes; invented chemicals to splash up in their nose and mouths and mechanical forces to graze their skin.

    When we work our “magic” correctly their brains are unable to make sense of what it all means. Hence, they cannot create a seamless conscious experience of the world of the world around them.

    We have given them the ability to create an audio illusion that can make them feel like their brain is a little bit broken. When the GODS used it on us it seemed to us that we’d entered another universe or that we’d gone crazy or something … the Known Universe as we thought we had known it had just turned upside down.

    Like the visual illusions that trick human eyes into seeing impossible things, the audio illusions fooled their ears. Sometimes illusions make them feel like something is off with their minds. Yes, we often used those illusions to walk among them undetected. But with the discovery of the Immortal, we gave the secret of these illusions to humans with the hope that these misperceptions could show them how their brains work. And with that knowledge they could experiment upon the Immortal and learn how his brain worked.

    • L]9 says:

      Illusions teach us and humans that our reality isn’t a direct real-time feed coming from our ears, eyes, skin, and the rest of our bodies. Instead, what we experience is our brain’s best guess.

      The question for humans is how do their brains do that? And how can their scientists use that information to them, invent new tools, or understand themselves better?

      Since we are not allowed to experiment upon the Immortal, maybe the humans will discover how their brain makes its best guess and discover how the Immortal affects its life force.

      • F[4 says:

        Why this concern with the human ability to discover anything concerning the Immortal? They are wasteful and destructive creatures. Are not these the creatures that left 96 bags of human waste on the moon?
        Does not anyone feel concerned about the astrobiological question, human waste — and in particular, feces — is teeming with microbial life. With the Apollo moon landings, they took microbial life on Earth to the most extreme environment it has ever been in. Which means their waste on the moon represents an unintended, experiment.

        Because we didn’t destroy the life they left on the Moon, they may one day discover how resilient is life in the face of the moon’s brutal environment? And for that matter, if microbes can survive on the moon, can they survive interplanetary or interstellar travel? If they can survive, then maybe it’s possible that life can spread from planet to planet, riding on the backs of asteroids or other such space debris.
        Then they may discover that life can exist among them not indigenous to Earth. We will have been outed by their shitting on the Moon.

  17. T]7 says:

    What is this discussion about? We may know about recognizing life than humans do but like them we don’t fundamentally know what life is. None of us have been able to define life and some of us will tell you that the GODS have made it impossible to define life.

    The GODS have made it so that for every definition of life, there’s a creature or perplexing life-like entity that just sends us right back to the drawing board.

    • Y]8 says:

      Death used to be fairly self-evident for humans. Someone stopped breathing, their heart stopped beating — they were dead. But we have given then new technologies have forced them to ask: When is someone actually dead?

      What will they think when we give the the technology to revive human brains several hours after they have been pronounced dead? It will redefine death for them.

  18. R]4 says:

    Forget this hope that humans will somehow discover something that we have missed about the Known Universe’s mysteries. It is best that we teach their cryptographers some of our complicated mathematical theory so they can perfect an unbreakable “lock.” They will soon need this as some of our rogue members have been giving them the technology to develop computers that will be able to break the encryption codes we use to communicate with them.

  19. H]4 says:

    Stop bragging about the technology that we have given humans. In the early 1900s, Henrietta Leavitt, a Massachusetts-born “computer” who worked at the Harvard College Observatory, published a discovery that may sound small but is one of the most important in the history of human astronomy: She found a way to measure the distance to certain stars.

    That is what gave humans the ability to measure the Known Universe.

    • E[7 says:

      We can still Bragg. All that discovery of the Known Universe didn’t stop them from coming up with an asinine theory like the “Big Bang.”

    “The Sin Is Greed”: The Making and Unmaking of the Black American Mecca

    A century after the Harlem Renaissance, the famed Upper Manhattan neighborhood as we once knew it is dying a strange but predictable death at the hands of gentrification.

    Just remember that the term “gentrification” is the white man’s term for colonization. Colonization is the action or process of settling among and establishing control over the indigenous people of an area.

    So when a whiteboy comes to your neighborhood and begins settling amidst you acting all nice, you should know that he is really vying to establish control over you and your neighborhood. Then he and his race will call it gentrification of what he has stolen.

    Plastics are killing us. Just so you know. It is plastics in your arteries not the fat that will give you a stroke or heart attack. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, followed 257 patients for 34 months and determined that almost 60 percent had “measurable amounts of polyethylene in plaques pulled from their fat-thickened arteries, and 12 percent also had polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in extracted fat deposits.”

    The study determined that the patients with microplastics in their extracted plaques “were 4.5 times as likely to have experienced a stroke, non-fatal heart attack, or died from any cause after 34 months than people who had no detectable microplastics in the plaques that surgeons had removed.”

    Native Americans – Battle of Little Big Horn, Memoirs of Chief Red Fox (1870-1976) .

    “I was six years and fourteen days old at the time of the Custer fight. As it was told to me by my father Chief Black Eagle and my mother White Swan, the sister of Chief Crazy Horse….We left Pine Ridge [Reservation] the eight day of May 1876. Arrived in Montana about June the fifth. My people expected truble they divided up into three different villages. In case of attact they would not be caught in a trap. They knew Custer had left fort Lincolm for the Little Big Horn. Chief Gall and Chief Two-Moons sent word to my uncle Chief Crazy Horse that they were on their way to join him in case of truble with Custer they hatted him for the killing of the fifty three old women men and children and for burning their village several years before [This is a reference to the battle of Washita River, Nov. 27, 1868] and he Raped Black Kettle fourteen year old daughter she gave berth to a boy who is known as Yellow Hawk that they claim is his son from that attact….

    On Sunday morning June 25th 1876 Custer…divided his forces into four grupes send Reno to attack my people from the southwest of the Big Horn River. Benteen from the northeast. Godfry and McDugal with the supply train….He told them he would…make the attact at four oclock….About 2 PM…we heard shots fired later we were told that my father and Chief Standing Bear had blocked Captain Benteen from crossing the river. Ghost Dogs, and Crow King had blocked Reno and his men Stinking Bear had Blocked Godfre and McDougal.

    About 3 oclock Custer appeared and my uncle Crazy Horse rode out and then retreated like they were afraid. Custer came riding on then. Chief Gall came out to the left side of Custer and Two Moons and his Cheyenns came to the right of Custer. When Custer seen this he started his charge then he dismounted, placed his men on high grounds his horses placed under senteries the Indians made a curcle around him then rode their horses accross the circle kicking up durt [to] stampead his horses. Then the Indians made their attact. Custer bugle sounded for the sentries to bring the horses but they had been killed his bugle sounded for retreat but…most of his men and horses were killed. some said he was the last one to die but that not true. Captain Kegho was the last man to be killed and his horse Comanche was the only horse alive…… my people said no one knows who killed [Custer] or when he fell. they say the battle lasted forty minutes….the Indians had better guns than the soldiers good horsemen and knew the country and planed how to fight the battle….”

    That technology needs to be recovered immediately. It can give humans the ability to store at 500 TB of data on a tiny glass disc that can survive at least 13 billion years. They still have their DVDs. This technology will allow them to store 500 TB on a single one of them.

    • V]5 says:

      No need to panic writing that much data on a DVD would take humans at least 60 days because they would have to use near-field enhancement. They are not likely to want to take that much time because it would be too costly to them and we know that humans are cost productive.

    The problem is that you are washing those eggs the way they do in America. Washing removes the natural layer of protection on the egg’s surface which keeps the bacteria out.

    Also in the US the conditions of the egg laying farms are frightening and extremely unhealthy, and most chickens on those farms are infected with salmonella.

    My suggestion is store only eggs bought in Europe or Asia, they need no refrigeration. Why even acquire US eggs? Unless you like your eggs seasoned with salmonella or some other disease, there are better places to get fresh eggs.
