Indiana residents advised to turn off their lights amid air quality alert
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Indiana state officials have warned residents to turn off their lights due to unhealthy ozone levels.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management declared an Air Quality Action Day in effect through Friday for northwest, northcentral and southeast portions of the state.

Air Quality Action Days (AQAD) are days when ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5, can build up to unhealthy levels in the outdoor air, according to the department.

The National Weather Service said the AQAD was issued because ozone levels are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range.

'Conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air conditioner to 75 degrees or above,' said the weather service.

Earth will soon get a mini moon for about a month
[Space] This month, Earth will grab itself a second moon in the form of the tiny (about 40' by 30') asteroid 2024 PT5.

Unlike the moon, Earth's primary companion which has accompanied our planet for around 4 billion years, this "new mini-moon" will stick around for just two months before it heads back to its home in an asteroid belt trailing our planet and orbiting the sun.

A team of scientists well-versed in the study of so-called "mini-moon events " identified the forthcoming gravitational capture event. They spotted the peculiar dynamic properties of 2024 PT5 as they routinely monitored newly discovered objects for potentially interesting behavior.

#3  The US talks a mean sanctions game but when it comes to commodities that it can’t produce or source elsewhere it gladly pays top dollar for uranium fuel rods, tungsten or ammonium nitrate from the Russians. TPTB should be very happy that the Russians continue to be willing to sell to them despite sanctions on western products. That being said - any guesses as to how many barges currently on the Mississippi have a load of ammonium nitrate on board? The answer might surprise you

#2  Word games galore. GMO (genetically modified organism)- This product has been genetically modified. Human food, animal food its in nearly everything. I wonder when they stop putting expiration dates on food. Apeel one of the newer applications.
Posted by: Dale || 09/20/2024 7:27 Comments || Top||

#3  As I understand it, Dale, the GMO process just increases the rate at which genetic mutations occur, from which the scientists choose the most beneficial to try to propagate. It doesn’t change which mutations occur, which is limited by the species’ innate variability.

Just like for people, most mutations are not viable, and only a very few are beneficial. But in the other side, everything that makes us human — as opposed to a single celled bacterium — is the result of a mutation that worked.

Rep. Matt Gaetz: Some Colleagues Suspicious of a Secret Service Mole
[Breitbart] Some lawmakers are suspicious of a potential mole in the U.S. Secret Service following the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

Host Mike Slater pointed to the fact that now, after the second assassination attempt on Trump, the "aura of invincibility of the Secret Service" is disappearing, which could lead to more individuals with ill-intent attempting to go after the former president.

"It’s a great point. The barrier to entry to assassination chaos seems to be lowered," Gaetz said, noting that he has colleagues who are suspicious that there is something more nefarious at play within the Secret Service.

"I have Republican colleagues who have not ruled out a mole inside the Secret Service of providing information about points of vulnerability," he said. "I’ve not seen evidence of that, but I’ve got colleagues that are very, very smart at this who say they can’t rule that out, given some of the anomalies and the fact pattern here."

#2  Drug test and Poly every one of them. Again, unannounced in 30-60 days.
Posted by: Besoeker || 09/20/2024 11:56 Comments || Top||

#3  Remember James Jesus Angleton and the wreckage at the CIA he created in his search for the mole(s), never found conclusively but almost certainly there. Once they start a zealous internal look, the mole-hunt can cause so much damage and institutional suspicion that trust and cohesive attitudes will be lost as things that even a Lifestyle Poly or Single Scope Backgrounder didn't find are uncovered or planted. Perhaps the USSS has been too close to the Executive Center of Gravity for too long and has spent its once world-class reputation through executive sloth and DEI.

Death toll from New Caledonia riots rises to 12
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The death toll from the four-month-long riots in New Caledonia, a French overseas territory in the Pacific Ocean, has risen to 12. This was reported on September 18 by the French television channel BFMTV.

"One person was killed during an operation by French security forces in St. Louis on Thursday night, bringing the death toll since the start of unrest in the archipelago to twelve," the statement said.

Police are also reportedly continuing to search for 10 people in St. Louis County suspected of shooting law enforcement officers with an armed gun.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 13, a peaceful demonstration in the capital of New Caledonia, Noumea, against the French constitutional bill aimed at expanding the electoral corps in local elections, escalated into clashes with the police and mass riots. In connection with the outbreak of violence in Noumea, a curfew was imposed, and later the French authorities brought troops into New Caledonia to ensure the security of ports and airports.
