Large, Black Triangular UFO Seen Hovering Over California Military Base [Update: Flares?]
May 23rd, 2023Update: Flares?
John Greenewald – The Black Vault, The “Mojave Triangle UAP”: A Closer Look:
Taking into account the military activity on that date, The Black Vault suggests the sighting could be more likely linked to military training than an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP). The Black Vault even noticed similarities between the “UFO” lights and the five aircraft flares visible in a Department of Defense-released video captured on the exact same date?.

A giant ‘black triangular shape’ UFO hovering over a California military base was caught on six videos and witnessed by 50 US Marines in 2021.
One stunning picture shot by an officer at Camp Wilson in Twentynine Palms on April 20, 2021 shows the apparently triangular object with lights on its edges, above the desert mountains – where it hovered for 10 minutes according to witnesses.
Videos show the lights of what some of the Marines believe was a craft, hanging in the dark sky, shot between 8.24pm and 8.30pm.
At 8.29pm one video recorded troops shooting a flare into the sky in an attempt to illuminate the object, which had five red lights.
However, before they could fully illuminate the ‘black triangle’, it vanished without a trace.
Senators Issued Satellite Phones
May 23rd, 2023In other news: 30-Ton Shipment Of Explosive Chemical Disappears Between California And Wyoming
Via: CBS News:
Amid growing concerns of security risks to members of Congress, more than 50 senators have been issued satellite phones for emergency communication, people familiar with the measures told CBS News. The devices are part of a series of new security measures being offered to senators by the Senate Sergeant at Arms, who took over shortly after the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The satellite phone technology has been offered to all 100 senators. CBS News has learned at least 50 have accepted the phones, which Senate administrative staff recommend senators keep in close proximity during their travels.
In testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee last month, Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson said satellite communication is being deployed “to ensure a redundant and secure means of communication during a disruptive event.”
Gibson said the phones are a security backstop in the case of an emergency that “takes out communications” in part of America. Federal funding will pay for the satellite airtime needed to utilize the phone devices.
A Department of Homeland Security advisory said satellite phones are a tool for responding to and coordinating government services in the case of a “man-made” or natural disaster that wipes out communication.
America’s Wars and the U.S. Debt Crisis
May 23rd, 2023Via: Common Dreams:
In the year 2000, the U.S. government debt was $3.5 trillion, equal to 35% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). By 2022, the debt was $24 trillion, equal to 95% of GDP. The U.S. debt is soaring, hence America’s current debt crisis. Yet both Republicans and Democrats are missing the solution: stopping America’s wars of choice and slashing military outlays.
Suppose the government’s debt had remained at a modest 35% of GDP, as in 2000. Today’s debt would be $9 trillion, as opposed to $24 trillion. Why did the U.S. government incur the excess $15 trillion in debt?
The single biggest answer is the U.S. government’s addiction to war and military spending. According to the Watson Institute at Brown University, the cost of U.S. wars from fiscal year 2001 to fiscal year 2022 amounted to a whopping $8 trillion, more than half of the extra $15 trillion in debt. The other $7 trillion arose roughly equally from budget deficits caused by the 2008 financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic.

At Least 4.5 Million People Have Died in Post-9/11 Warzones
May 22nd, 2023Via: Brown – Costs of War:
War’s destruction of economies, public services, infrastructure, and the environment leads to deaths that occur long after bombs drop and grow in scale over time. This report reviews the latest research to examine the causal pathways that have led to an estimated 3.6-3.7 million indirect deaths in post-9/11 war zones, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. The total death toll in these war zones could be at least 4.5-4.6 million and counting, though the precise mortality figure remains unknown. Some people were killed in the fighting, but far more, especially children, have been killed by the reverberating effects of war, such as the spread of disease.
Jeffrey Epstein Used Knowledge of Bill Gates’ Relationship with Young Bridge Player to Blackmail the Microsoft Co-Founder
May 22nd, 2023My guess is that this is around a level 1 in terms of the intensity of blackmail that Epstein could have applied to Gates.
Via: Daily Mail:
A Russian bridge player’s affair with Bill Gates has been brought to light by a bombshell new report which claims Jeffrey Epstein used his knowledge of the relationship to blackmail the Microsoft co-founder.
Disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Epstein… wanted Gates to invest in a multibillion-dollar charitable fund in 2013 but he would not oblige.
Epstein later sent Gates an email implying he was aware of his affair with bridge player Mila Antonova and that he could reveal his infidelity, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
Gates, whose love of the card game has been widely publicised, allegedly engaged in an affair with Antonova after they played one another at a tournament in 2009.
The tech mogul, who was married to Melina Gates but has since divorced, was 55 at the time of the alleged affair. Antonova meanwhile was in her 20s.

WHO Warns of ‘Unusual’ Surge in Severe Myocarditis in Babies
May 20th, 2023Mmm hmm.
Via: Epoch Times:
UK authorities are investigating an “unusual” surge in severe myocarditis which has hit 15 babies in Wales and England and has killed at least one, the World Health Organisation has announced.
On Tuesday, the WHO issued an alert that there had been a rise in “severe myocarditis” in newborns and infants between June 2022 and March 2023 in Wales and England.
Cryptogon Syndication to Twitter Disabled
May 20th, 2023For about a decade, I’ve been able to automatically post Cryptogon stories to Twitter using a plugin called WP to Twitter.
That ended about a hour ago.
After trying to troubleshoot, recreating my Twitter apps and API keys, etc. I’m getting this error:
403 Forbidden: The request is understood, but has been refused by Twitter. (Error Code: 453: You currently have access to Twitter API v2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints only. If you need access to this endpoint, you may need a different access level. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api#v2-access-leve)
My best guess is that they want US$100 per month for API access now, which is crazy. My usage is well within the free tier, but it just doesn’t work.
I found a post from the WP to Twitter developer on what has happened:
The latest news, as of mid April 2023:
Recently, Twitter has started suspending many people’s apps who are using WP to Twitter. This is not something I can do anything about. They’re using the same logic to shut it down that they used to shut down all of the major Twitter apps.
You can always create another new app and reconnect it to WP to Twitter, but you should assume that at some point they will shut down the new one as well.
Given this, I do not have any intention to ship any further updates to WP to Twitter. I have disabled sales on WP Tweets Pro, and will probably be shutting down WP to Twitter in the WordPress plugin repository soon.
I have no faith in Twitter having consistent policies or clear documentation that I could use to create a product that gives anything approximating a good user experience.

30-Ton Shipment Of Explosive Chemical Disappears Between California And Wyoming
May 19th, 2023Fell out the bottom of the rail car?
Via: ZeroHedge:
A 30-ton shipment of ammonium nitrate, a chemical used as both fertilizer and as a component in explosives, has gone missing during a rail shipment between Wyoming and California last month, resulting in four separate investigations.
…
“The railcar was sealed when it left the Cheyenne facility, and the seals were still intact when it arrived in Saltdale. The initial assessment is that a leak through the bottom gate on the railcar may have developed in transit,” said the company, adding that the two-week trip included multiple stops. They report having had “limited control” over the railcar operated by Union Pacific.
The railcar is being transported back to Wyoming for inspection.
Meanwhile, a representative for the Federal Railroad Administration says the investigation points to an improperly closed hopper car gate.
