CORRECTION

Jean did not leave radio in 77; he left a daily program on WOR because he wanted to travel and do other projects in film and TV. In subsequent years, he served WCBS, NPR and Pacifica, with a show in WBAI (Pacifica is national so that went onto many stations).

<< His subsequent radio work consisted of short segments on several other stations, including crosstown WCBS,[21] and occasional commentaries on NPR's All Things Considered.[22] His final radio gig was the Sunday-night radio show Shepherd's Pie on WBAI in the mid-1990s, which had him reading his stories uncut, uninterrupted, and unabridged. The show was one of WBAI's most popular of the period. >>

Thanks for the gift of listening to Jean and also for more great music. Another fascinating program all around.

My initial facebook post on Dec. 4 said that the suspect would be caught promptly and be "hiding in plain sight." To see that I looked no further than Moon about to make a conjunction to Venus. However, then I looked at the rest of the chart, which is considerably more complex than the surface story we are being told. The question is: for whom is this case an advertisement? It puts all corporate execs on edge. It will certainly be a boon to the private security business. We could keep going...

Hey Coppolino- have you ever had a chance to verify the story of the “unpublished Harvard(?) study” that determines VAERS likely only accounts for a small fraction of actual injuries? I seem to remember reading that it was the HHS or NIH that solicited the analysis and decided not to release it, but not before some news outlet reported it, only to have the story disappear.

Yep it checks out.

I have read some accounts about reporting to Vaers. It sounds like a nightmare. Parents must have the agreement of a doctor to validate causality. This alone is a catastrophic hurdle to reporting. No one knows the long term effects of any jab, so that makes it easy to negate claims of injury. And on top of that, I read an article recently that was unable to determine what the official definition IS of a vaccine in biological law. Another handy tool for bludgeoning compliance.

What i wrote below regarding the drones was posted before i listened. No surprise, we agree. :-)

I know where that Port Authority Bus Terminal is. My family went there on Labor Day in 1959 (the preceding structure to today's, same location) to take a bus to Ft Lee, New Jersey, so we could visit the relative of my father who provided us with an affidavit pledging material support which enabled us to move to the US. Indeed, upper Manhattan where we lived is like a foreign land to people in midtown, and people in my neighborhood felt more association with The Bronx. The area even looks like the western parts of The Bronx.

Pretty remarkable, what you discuss re the charts similarity between 9/11 and the Thompson killing. Staying tuned in.

Regarding VAERS, here are the studies regarding the under-reporting involved with the system.

This is about the Harvard study.

https://truthsnitch.com/2017/10/24/cdc-silence-million-dollar-harvard-project-charged-upgrading-vaccine-safety-surveillance-system/

And here was a study which was posted in, of all places, JAMA, in 2021, which demonstrated that nothing has changed. JAMA research letter 3/8/21.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2777417 See page 1563. The discovered rate of adverse events is 2.47 per 10,000, vs the CDC’s claim of 2.5 per million, i.e the actual rate is just about 100 times that of the claimed rate!

RFK Jr is bad news, but he's right on the VAERS. Amazing how MN908047 has never been mentioned. I guess it's an item which ... doesn't fit. Funny. Junior's Children's Health Defense has never mentioned MN908947 either.

RFK is definitely bad news bs.

He talks out of both sides of his mouth about vaccines.

Vaccines are bad.

Very very bad!

But I am not anti vaxx, everybody!

I wanna make sure we have “safe” vaccines.

Our children deserve “properly tested” vaccines.

It’s more medical cult empathy baiting parental guilt fear porn that leads to nothing but more of the same mass poisoning of beautiful and perfectly well babies.

Brother, you so asked for this.

Starting with a reminder of a man who over 2000 years ago basically proved with a simple experiment that the earth was not flat, but in fact a sphere, and with a circumference which he calculated to an amazing degree of accuracy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8cbIWMv0rI

Eratosthenes erected a pole in Alexandria, and on the summer solstice he observed that it cast a shadow, proving that the Sun was not directly overhead but slightly south. Recognizing the curvature of the Earth and knowing the distance between the two cities enabled Eratosthenes to calculate the planet's circumference.

How and why does GPS work?

Formulas for predicting sunrise/sunset for any location, using latitude and longitude, formulas which are based upon the spherical model. They do not retrieve data from a data base, they provide a calculation, which a simple math program can run, and they jibe with existing data. Why?

Why do numerous photos taken at high altitudes from balloons, hi-flying planes, satellites and numerous space excursions by agencies other than NASA?

Why do air flows go around low pressure troughs and high pressure domes, flowing counterclockwise around troughs and clockwise around high pressure ones north of the equator, and vice versa south or it? They would go in straight lines on a stationary earth. They would curve the same way everywhere on a flat rotation earth. These are easily observable phenomena

Flat Earth orbits are hilariously INSANE, Dave McKeegan, 12/20/22 15 minutes

Analyzing the trackable paths of objects and how they defy physics *Correction*: I made a small slip up there, @1:45. I said "Newton's 2nd law of thermodynamics" - Newton didn't come up with the laws of thermodynamics, I had Newton on the brain because I was about to reference his laws of motion, I meant to just say "breaks the 2nd law of thermodynamics"

Flat Earth 'evidence' That SHOWS CURVATURE, Dave McKeegan, 12/29/22, 10 minutes.

Originally Answered: Why don't flat earthers make a high altitude balloon with a camera? It is relatively cheap and can reach up to 20 miles high if the Earth has a curvature or is flat they would prove so.

There is a guy named Dwayne Kellum who has launched a number of balloons with the footage on youtube. He is a bit quiet about his beliefs but it seems that flat earthers are applauding him despite every launch showing the amount of curve you’d expect from that height.

EDIT for the above - 12/12 - 2019:

I’ve had a short correspondence with Dwayne who agrees that his balloon videos seem to show a globe. He does, however, think that the Earth is flat and that the apparent curve is caused by something else. He would not tell me why he thinks the Earth is flat. I thought it would be interesting to hear from someone who thought that the Earth could be flat and then did something to actively acquire evidence. Very disappointed to hear: “I have concluded that the Earth is indeed Flat. The curve seen on my videos is a lens effect.” and then “I don't care to share my opinions on this subject with you.”

Dear me, This comment is a classic example demonstrating how people fail to read and comprehend basic statements. It is prevalent everywhere in our society today, and it's a big problem. Let's repeat the statement in question.

"The Earth is at rest in the Center of the Universe."

This statement does not claim the Earth is flat, so your response is irrelevant. Up until the 18th century, most people believed the Longmontanus model of the system was the most accurate model of our local system. In this model, the Earth rotates about its axis every 24 hours, but it is not moving with respect to any external frame of reference. Many believe this model is correct for sound scientific reasons.

Here's the entry from Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christen_S%C3%B8rensen_Longomontanus

"Some historians claim Kepler's 1627 Rudolphine Tables, based on Tycho Brahe's observations, were more accurate than any previous tables. But nobody has ever demonstrated they were more accurate than Longomontanus's 1622 Danish Astronomy tables, based on Tycho's observations."

Some believe we are in a double-star system, Mars being a 'star.' The full title of Kepler's Astronomia Nova was

"New Astronomy, Based upon Causes, or Celestial Physics, Treated using Commentaries on the Motions of the Star Mars, from the Observations of Tycho Brahe, Gent."

Mars's motion is so anomalous that Kepler referred to it as a star. Kepler failed to solve why it behaves the way it behaves. You should really look into that and understand why because the heliocentric model fails badly here.

Here are some reasons that might make you think.

you sure seem to know a lot. The entire universe is moving; our galaxy is one of about 100,000 being drawn toward the Great Attractor. This kind of structure is a fundamental construct of the known universe.

All of the galaxies are part of something like it, and they are all moving toward their particular attractor within a kind of watershed area. This field emerged in the mid-1980s and I've watched it develop since the 1990s.

In terms of solar system science, Jupiter is the boss, essentially commanding the orbit of every planet and with Saturn and the ice giants, determining the shape that the million+ known orbiting bodies take within Sun's gravitational reach.

I sit here all day and study these orbits; I have done so for 30 years barely missing a day. I am an astrologer of the sort who is highly trained in planetary science. The movements are impeccable and the orbits all work. The timing is flawless. There is no way to have so much data with so much observational data over so long not be valid. Had I found a bunch of things that don't add up, this would be a different conversation.

If you want to be taken seriously, you need to find the problems in this most elegant system, and that starts with understanding how exactly it works and how we know where everything is with multiple points of verification, including something so basic as a wristwatch and compass.

HORSESHIT! Explain Coriolis acceleration, for one. Or Foucault's Pendulum. There are MOUNDS of observable facts regarding the earth's rotation. No further engagement with know nothings who can't explain.

Can you read? Please read what I wrote.

"In this model, the Earth rotates about its axis every 24 hours, but it is not moving concerning any external frame of reference". Do you understand the difference between rotation and movement through space? The Earth rotates. No one is disputing this. It would be best if you learned how to read basic English.

Well that's a rather Gaiacentric view. I think she'd be rather embarrassed to be put so very centre stage. Would she blush a shade of Mars? Or sparkle Venus bright? And here we are assigning sex to our local planets. And gender roles indeed. Is this something we innately sense according to the energies of these planetary entities?

Oo! Oo! If you're Björk, Eric can I be Toyah. No sex reassignment necessary just a little gender bending.

Just an added detail to the shooter story. I walk dogs on the block of the crime a few days a week. The shooter (whoever they actually are) picked the only place on that street with an overhead floodlight from the hotel to spotlight the shooter with the security camera neatly feet away. Who plans a murder under a spotlight and camera? Someone (or in this case the back of someone) who wants to be noticed in crisp clear video.

Danny this is highly relevant and speaks to the importance of going to the crime scene even if you don't think you're going to find anything there. Yeah the whole things seems made for this new digital candid camera television environment. The problem with those security cameras is often the terrible lighting (such as in a convenience store). Problem solved...
