NASA & TRAPPIST-1: A Treasure Trove of Planets Found

Seven Earth-sized planets have been observed by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope around a tiny, nearby, ultra-cool dwarf star called TRAPPIST-1. Three of these planets are firmly in the habitable zone.



Planets are everywhere.

There was speculation about this decades ago which can be seen in the episode of Cosmos where Carl Sagan is talking about the probability of advanced life developing in our Galaxy with which we might be able to communicate (The Drake Equation). The estimate at the time was one quarter of stars (100 billion) might have planets:



I personally think life is common. It's on Earth and probably on Mars (Viking experiments, NASA fudging about the atmosphere/and here).

In many reports about this discovery it's been 'stated' that is will take 38 years to reach this nearby system travelling at the speed of light. However, for travellers moving at high speed, time slows down (See Time Dilation on Wikipedia, Space Flight). If you could travel fast enough (ion drive), and navigate well enough (to avoid the vessel colliding with small space objects, a huge 'magnetic? snow plow'?), you could go there and back and still be alive (except for the people on Earth who would not be around - since time for them would pass 'normally'.)

The CIA plot Against Alternative Media - Paul Craig Roberts

The following is from an interview transcript
 
The methods for censoring independent media all come from the CIA; they all come from the intelligence services.

The CIA is accustomed to controlling the explanations that are given to the American people. They began controlling the American media in the 1950’s and I think today they have complete control over the print and TV media in the United States.

And we know that the same is true for all of the world. There are no significant journalists that the CIA doesn’t have a hand on. The CIA can rely on journalists in Europe as well as on journalists in the United States to give the CIA’s explanations of things. Therefore, this is how they control public attitudes, how they can go for their agendas. To serve their power and their profit.

The independent media is gaining so much influence and might gain enough power to displace the CIA control media. To prevent this threat, it was decided to shut independent media down or censor it in some way.

We know that, for example, the head of Google is on a governmental committee to help determine how the CIA can control information. So, this is Google.

The real question is: Why don’t other countries create alternatives to Google? Why rely on the American-built Internet system that is now under attack of the CIA and is being taken over like print and TV media?

The rest of the world has got to start looking after itself and develop its own Internet, its own ways of putting out the information. Why do they all rely on American Twitter, Facebook, Google? We cannot rely on the American stuff! These are subjects of CIA manipulation. You don’t know what they can do! They managed to get RT off of Facebook for some time before Trump's inauguration.

Now the future of this fight depends on Trump, whether he is aware of it and in how it was explained to him. You know, he’s already been given a dozen difficult challenges. And if he could do at least one of those - it will be a miracle. So, does he have room to know about what’s happening to the alternative media, how it’s been subverted? I don’t know.

I think now is the best time for Russia, China, India, and all the countries of South America to just get their own systems. So there’s competition of the alternatives. Why does everybody feel that they have to rely only on the Americans? There is no reason for that. I think the rest of the world should do that – this will make it harder for the CIA to control them.

If Twitter, Facebook and Google will see that they have major competitors in other countries then they will have to stop being captives of the CIA. They will be forced to stay open in order to compete with the others.

So, I think this is a solution to the problem. I would like to see these things grow up in other parts of the world. Maybe in the future I could use a Russian Google?

Never trust the CIA or ex-CIA officers. Nevertheless, Robert Steele's warnings/information below in relation to hoodwinking Trump is worth considering:

Whitehouse.Gov Petition To Halt Google’s Censorship Of Natural News Nearing 20,000 Signatures As Americans Line Up To Oppose The True Face Of Fascism And Oppression

 
Within a few hours of filing a petition at Whitehouse.gov demanding that Google ends its censorship of NaturalNews.com search results, signatures blasted past 16,000 as Americans fed up with corporate suppression of the truth make their voices heard.
The petition – which is here – states:
Google, which controls 67.5% of internet searches in the United States is attempting to silence any voice that doesn’t coincide with their political views. This incidentally targets some of the biggest voices in alternative media, such as NaturalNews.com and Infowars.com.
This week Google wiped 140,000 Naturalnews.com articles from its database, prohibiting individuals from viewing the site’s webpages if searched. Google sent no prior warning. Natural News has stated that they follow all Google terms of service rules and that they do not condone or endorse any techniques that may manipulate Natural News in the search engines. 
This censorship of the Independent Media is a blatant attack on the first amendment rights of users.
Whitehouse.gov petitions need 100,000 verified signatures before they are eligible for a response from the Trump administration. So, in just over 24 hours, we’re nearly 20 percent of the way there. (RELATED: GOOGLE CENSORSHIP BOMBSHELL: Supposed Natural News “violation” of Google webmaster rules also found running on Google’s own Blogspot network!)
Natural News founder/editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, noted that the petition became necessary after his site was arbitrarily singled out for censorship based on an arcane advertising rule that a) does not appear to apply to other websites; and b) was based on a single post at Blogs.NaturalNews.com from three years ago. Adam’s says the reason he was given for Google’s actions is questionable, at best:
This morning, I was contacted by a Google technical person who directly emailed Natural News. According to the email, a Google techie found an obscure third party advertising script running on a tiny number of articles published 3+ years ago under the blogs.naturalnews.com subdomain, where content is posted by outside bloggers. (Many websites host similar blogs, including the NY Times.) Google has so far provided us with ONE URL that they claim is a violation. (Yet they banned 140,000+.) 
Just to be clear, this script was NOT running on the www.NaturalNews.com primary domain, it was not part of any in-house NaturalNews articles, and it was not even recent. It was from years ago.
This third party script, identified as invoking “cpxcenter.com”, has been so far identified [in] a grand total of 13 blog posts that were posted from 2013 – 2014 under the subdomain blogs.naturalnews.com.
Using this as their excuse, Google blacklisted the entire NaturalNews.com domain, including all 140,000+ pages of content that contained no such third party scripts, thereby “silencing” Natural News content by invoking an obscure, dated, barely-visible technical issue.
Interestingly, as Adams reported, the very same code that was used to punish Natural News is also running on Google’s own BlogSpot network, which is incredible hypocrisy – but also which appears to validate our belief that our site was delisted in Google’s search results as punishment for being a reliable reporter of the truth.
Now, it’s not clear how quickly this will be resolved, or even if it will resolve itself without massive outside pressure put on Google and its parent company, Alphabet. But one thing’s for sure: Readers are outraged over the search giant’s treatment of the Web’s premier site for news and information about alternative health, real science and the truth about many of mainstream medicine’s deepest, darkest secrets. (RELATED: GOOGLE Blacklists Natural News… Removes 140,000 Pages From Its Index… “Memory Holes” Natural News Investigative Articles On Vaccines, Pharma Corruption, Fraudulent Science And More)
While we are humbled by the overwhelming support we have received and are quick to offer readers our thanks, we ask that you continue to help us keep the pressure on Google and sign the petition demanding a response from the Trump administration over this blatant violation of our rights to free speech and potential violations of various commerce and trade regulations.
One other thing that Google, which also claims to be a media company, might want to consider: The Trump White House has not treated anyone well who has attempted to push fake news while burying truthful, honest reporting no matter where it comes from. Google execs should ask the crybabies at The New York TimesCNNBuzzfeed, and Politico how they feel about being shut out of press gaggles at the White House. The current administration, for once, has made it clear it has no use for fake news and censorship of honest reporting and considers the Trump-hating establishment media to be the true opposition party to the administration.

Trump Policy on Syria: 'More Realism as Opposed to Obama's Fantasy Tour'

The Pentagon is deploying hundreds of US military advisers 'closer and deeper into the Iraqi formation' in the campaign against the Islamic State, as the Iraqi forces are seeking to retake the western part of Mosul from the jihadists. Larry Johnson, retired CIA and State Department official discuss the issue with RT.

RECAP: Nancy Schaefer on Alex Jones - CPS criminality (Rest In Peace Nancy)

05/16/2009 Alex interviews former State Senator Nancy Schaefer, now the president of the Eagle Forum's Family Concerns, Inc., and a staunch defender of parents' rights. Mrs. Schaefer sums up the more usual criminal malpractices of CPS: pedophilia, tolerance of foster care abuse, heavy psychotropic medication, child auctions, bounties and bonuses on children. A very real nightmare that has to be stopped. [Nancy Schaefer and her husband, Bruce, were murdered in their home in Habersham County, most likely for their valiant work in protecting the helpless. Prior to any investigation, the mainstream media jumped on the bandwagon and classified the event as a suicide-murder, which is the typical whitewash strategy for this sort of cases.]



Almost all major institutions in the USA have been corrupted.

Police Chief Confirms Fmr UK Prime Minister Raped Dozens of Children and Govt ‘Covered it Up’

In what will likely turn into the largest pedophile bombshell in recent history, Sir Edward Heath, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has reportedly been accused by the police chief as being a pedophile. His vile crimes against children were allegedly ‘covered up by the establishment.’

More than 30 people have now come forward with claims of sexual abuse by the former leader of the Conservative Party and PM. Police investigators told the Daily Mail that the victims all gave ‘strikingly similar’ accounts of the sexual abuse and none of the individuals were known to each other.

On Sunday, the Daily Mail revealed that the police chief investigating the Heath case said the allegations against him are ‘120 per cent’ genuine.
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/breaking-fmr-uk-prime-minister-heath-pedophilia/#DkkOaApRgy9AhiAL.99

The cover-up must end. The pedos need to be exposed and the existing networks shut down. Those with such mentality need to be examined in order to stop further paedophilic behaviour.

The Stakes for Trump and All of Us — Paul Craig Roberts

We need to understand, and so does President Trump, that the hoax “war on terror” was used to transform intelligence agencies, such as the NSA and CIA, and criminal investigative agencies, such as the FBI, into Gestapo secret police agencies. Trump is now threatened by these agencies, because he rejects the neoconservative’s agenda of US world hegemony that supports the gigantic military/security annual budget. 
 
Our secret police agencies are busy at work planting “intelligence” among the presstitute media that Trump is compromised by “Russian connections” and is a security threat to the United States. The plan is to make a case in the media, as was done against President Nixon, and to force Trump from office. To openly take on a newly elected president is an act of extraordinary audacity that implies enormous confidence, or else desperation, on the part of the police state agencies. 
 
Here you can see CNN openly cooperating with the CIA in treating wild and irresponsible speculation that Trump is under Russian influence as if it is an established fact.http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/46476.htm 
 The “evidence” provided by CNN and the CIA is a “report” by the New York Times that, with little doubt, was planted in the NYT by the CIA. 
 
This is so obvious that it is clear that CNN and the CIA regard the American people as so gullible as to be completely stupid. 
 
Glenn Greenwald explains to Amy Goodman that the CIA is after Trump, because Trump’s announced policy of reducing the dangerous tensions with Russia conflicts with the military/security complex’s need for a major enemy.

“The deep state, although there’s no precise or scientific definition, generally refers to the agencies in Washington that are permanent power factions. They stay and exercise power even as presidents who are elected come and go. They typically exercise their power in secret, in the dark, and so they’re barely subject to democratic accountability, if they’re subject to it at all. It’s agencies like the CIA, the NSA and the other intelligence agencies, that are essentially designed to disseminate disinformation and deceit and propaganda, and have a long history of doing not only that, but also have a long history of the world’s worst war crimes, atrocities and death squads. This is who not just people like Bill Kristol, but lots of Democrats are placing their faith in, are trying to empower, are cheering for as they exert power separate and apart from—in fact, in opposition to—the political officials to whom they’re supposed to be subordinate.

“And you go—this is not just about Russia. You go all the way back to the campaign, and what you saw was that leading members of the intelligence community, including Mike Morell, who was the acting CIA chief under President Obama, and Michael Hayden, who ran both the CIA and the NSA under George W. Bush, were very outspoken supporters of Hillary Clinton. In fact, Michael Morell went to The New York Times, and Michael Hayden went to The Washington Post, during the campaign to praise Hillary Clinton and to say that Donald Trump had become a recruit of Russia. The CIA and the intelligence community were vehemently in support of Clinton and vehemently opposed to Trump, from the beginning. And the reason was, was because they liked Hillary Clinton’s policies better than they liked Donald Trump’s. One of the main priorities of the CIA for the last five years has been a proxy war in Syria, designed to achieve regime change with the Assad regime. Hillary Clinton was not only for that, she was critical of Obama for not allowing it to go further, and wanted to impose a no-fly zone in Syria and confront the Russians. Donald Trump took exactly the opposite view. He said we shouldn’t care who rules Syria; we should allow the Russians, and even help the Russians, kill ISIS and al-Qaeda and other people in Syria. So, Trump’s agenda that he ran on was completely antithetical to what the CIA wanted. Clinton’s was exactly what the CIA wanted, and so they were behind her. And so, they’ve been trying to undermine Trump for many months throughout the election. And now that he won, they are not just undermining him with leaks, but actively subverting him. There’s claims that they’re withholding information from him, on the grounds that they don’t think he should have it and can be trusted with it. They are empowering themselves to enact policy.

“Now, I happen to think that the Trump presidency is extremely dangerous. You just listed off in your news—in your newscast that led the show, many reasons. They want to dismantle the environment. They want to eliminate the safety net. They want to empower billionaires. They want to enact bigoted policies against Muslims and immigrants and so many others. And it is important to resist them. And there are lots of really great ways to resist them, such as getting courts to restrain them, citizen activism and, most important of all, having the Democratic Party engage in self-critique to ask itself how it can be a more effective political force in the United States after it has collapsed on all levels. That isn’t what this resistance is now doing. What they’re doing instead is trying to take maybe the only faction worse than Donald Trump, which is the deep state, the CIA, with its histories of atrocities, and say they ought to almost engage in like a soft coup, where they take the elected president and prevent him from enacting his policies. And I think it is extremely dangerous to do that. Even if you’re somebody who believes that both the CIA and the deep state, on the one hand, and the Trump presidency, on the other, are extremely dangerous, as I do, there’s a huge difference between the two, which is that Trump was democratically elected and is subject to democratic controls, as these courts just demonstrated and as the media is showing, as citizens are proving. But on the other hand, the CIA was elected by nobody. They’re barely subject to democratic controls at all. And so, to urge that the CIA and the intelligence community empower itself to undermine the elected branches of government is insanity. That is a prescription for destroying democracy overnight in the name of saving it. And yet that’s what so many, not just neocons, but the neocons’ allies in the Democratic Party, are now urging and cheering. And it’s incredibly warped and dangerous to watch them do that.” 
 http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/46476.htm 
 
The United States is now in the extraordinary situation that the liberal/progressive/left is allied with the deep state against democracy. The liberal/progressive/left are lobbying for the impeachment of a president who has committed no impeachable offense. The neoconservatives have stated their preference for a deep state coup against democracy. The media obliges with a constant barrage of lies, innuendos and disinformation. The insouciant American public sits there sucking its thumb.

What can Trump do? He can clean out the intelligence agencies and terminate their license granted by Bush and Obama to conduct unconstitutional activities. He can use anti-trust to breakup the media conglomerates that Clinton allowed to form. If Bush and Obama can on their own authority subject US citizens to indefinite detention without due process and if Obama can murder suspect US citizens without due process of law, Trump can use anti-trust law to break up the media conglomerates that speak with one voice against him. 
 
At this point Trump has no alternative but to fight. He can take down the secret police agencies and the presstitute media conglomerates, or they will take him down. Dismissing Flynn was the worse thing to do. He should have kept Flynn and fired the “leakers” who are actively using disinformation against him. The NSA would have to know who the leakers are. Trump should clean out the corrupt NSA management and install officials who will identify the leakers. Then Trump should prosecute the leakers to the full extent of the law.

No president can survive secret police agencies determined to destroy him. If Trump’s advisers don’t know this, Trump desperately needs new advisers.

TRUMP DECLARES WAR ON 9/11 GATEKEEPER CNN

US President Donald Trump continues to expose mainstream mockingbird media lies by declaring war on CNN. Not only has Trump called the network a source of "fake news", the Trump White House has announced it won't even send surrogates to appear on CNN. And in news that was largely missed by the alternative REAL news media, NIST whistleblower Peter Michael Ketcham, a fifteen year employee of the government agency, has come forward to expose NIST's report on the collapse of World Trade Center building 7, as a total fraud. We ask President Trump to respond to Ketcham's powerful testimony and launch a REAL investigation into the events of September 11, 2001.

BREAKING: 72 Individuals From Trump’s Seven Named Countries Have Been Convicted In Terrorism Cases Since 9/11

 

According to a blockbuster new analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies, a total of 72 individuals who came from President Trump’s seven named terror-linked countries have been convicted in terrorism-related cases since 9/11.
This finding demolishes the absurd, fact-less assertion of the Ninth Circuit judges who claimed there is “no evidence” of terrorism from those seven nations.


“The Center has extracted information on 72 individuals named in the Senate report whose country of origin is one of the seven terror-associated countries included in the vetting executive order: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen,” reports CIS, which also states:
The United States has admitted terrorists from all of the seven dangerous countries:
Somalia: 20
Yemen: 19
Iraq: 19
Syria: 7
Iran: 4
Libya: 2
Sudan: 1
Total: 72
According to the report, at least 17 individuals entered as refugees from these terror-prone countries. Three came in on student visas and one arrived on a diplomatic visa.
At least 25 of these immigrants eventually became citizens. Ten were lawful permanent residents, and four were illegal aliens.
See the supporting data acquired by the CIS at this link (PDF).

False narrative of the delusional Left collapsing by the day

These findings obliterate the false narrative of the delusional Left, which has continued to ridiculously claim that travelers, immigrants and refugees from heavily terror-infested nations somehow pose no risk whatsoever to the safety of Americans.
It also further demonstrates how rogue judicial traitors are now actively aiding and abetting terrorists who are sure to carry out yet more acts of mass murder on U.S. soil. (RELATED: Follow more news on national security at NationalSecurity.news)
As I explain in the videos and podcasts below, we are now rapidly approaching a time when President Trump may soon be justified in arresting rogue judicial traitors who are actively and deliberately working to undermine America’s security. There is now no question whatsoever that the Ninth Circuit judges are lawless traitors who are actively working against America’s interests by aiding and abetting foreign terrorists who intend on murdering as many Americans as possible.
