Intersection of paths

Within a pretty short period of time, we had three extrasolar objects of significant size (1I/ʻOumuamua, 2I/Borisov and 3I/Atlas) pass through the inner solar system. How much of a coincidence that is would depend on whether this happened before and we just didn’t have the technology to notice, but let’s assume this is indeed a new occurrence.

Some people are trying to see aliens there, but I don’t see any evidence of that. However, I think something more dangerous might be at play. I think we are passing through the Oort cloud of something massive enough to have one, and dim enough not to register on our telescopes.

Furthermore, since the comets are intersecting with the inner solar system, and not, for instance, the Kuiper belt, it means it’s coming straight at us.

Is it a black hole, or some other dark object of stellar mass, I can’t tell, and this is all a hypothesis, but still, I wanted to write it down.

Assessment

There was a relatively strong earthquake in Campi Flegrei last night, initially assessed at 4.4 MMS, later revised to 4.2. Everything above 2 there is significant, as it indicates magma movements and possible ruptures. 4.2 is really serious, and adds serious weight to the Bayesian probability of explosive eruption in the near future. Whether the eruption will be phreatic or supervolcanic, it is impossible to say. A phreatic eruption is what happened at Krakatoa, when magma and sea water came into contact within the enclosed space of the half-emptied magma chamber. It is what a pressure cooker would do if the pressure inside exceeded the cohesive forces within the containment vessel. It means a big boom that cooks the people of the local village in superheated steam. That place needed to be evacuated weeks ago. However, other than boiling a few thousands of people alive, the phreatic eruption poses no danger to the wider area. A supervolcanic eruption, VEI 8, however, would end most of Europe. So, the danger of natural events regionally remains high.

As for the political and military events, Trump is performing a circus where America, as a party in conflict that attacked Russia and wanted to destroy it as a country and surround it with enemies and do a regime change in every country that believes in two genders, is now roleplaying as a peace maker of some sorts, as if they’re a school teacher forcing some kids to make up or else. The Russians will politely tell him to piss off, to which he’ll do the typical Trump thing and threaten them with a big stick, forgetting that the Russians have already destroyed more than half of US and European military in Ukraine, and that American “mercenaries” have been killing Russians in Kursk, Russia, for months. This has all the potential of ending badly, because the Russians have already told Putin not to even think about any kind of “truce” or “ceasefire”. I see people behaving as this war is about to end, but on the contrary, I think it’s nearing the most explosive phase, where one bad miscalculation by America will result in instant massive retaliation. I am treating this as “all hell is about to break loose” until proven otherwise.

If you ask why is France so pissed at Russia, it’s because the entire West had a plan of blocking Russia, and intending on compensating for the raw materials they were getting from Russia by turning to Africa, and the Russians understood the plan and completely destroyed it by making deals with African countries that resulted in France and other former colonial powers being unceremoniously evicted and their access to near-free resources ended. As a result, France’s access to low-cost uranium for their power plants and military has been compromised and they are strategically fucked.

Trump, on the other hand, is acting as if America is the big boy in charge, but this is all a bluff. America is bankrupt, their military is defunct and depleted, and other than the decrepit nuclear weapons that are way past their expiration date, they have nothing except the printing press for money, which is currently backed by nothing but brute force. Essentially, the entire West is a starving parasite trying to latch itself onto resources to prolong its doomed existence, and in absence of the usual victims, the vampires are now trying to suck off each other, and it’s going to be a nasty sight.

So yeah, far from it being over; we haven’t actually seen anything but overture yet.

The problem

The problem with science is that people assume it works on data and analysis, while in fact it works on money, and data and analysis are merely PR instruments for obtaining money. Essentially, if you want to get money as a scientist, you need to serve as a mediator that presents the interests of the people with money to the general populace that will accept your arguments as the truth, believing it’s based on facts, evidence and rational analysis, peer reviewed and all that. In reality, the measurements are cooked up, the analysis is cooked up, and there’s almost never any kind of peer review. Yeah, those are the actual facts about the state of science today, which has been so thoroughly compromised by both money and ideology, that I basically can’t trust any of it at this point, and I only pay attention to scientific research if it comes from China and Russia. Everything in the West is a clown show. In the meantime, the “trust the science” people:

Liars and whores

It’s deep frost on all the roofs here, the temperature is definitely below zero. However, the weather app on my computer shows 4°C. I looked at other sources – yup, they show 4°. I already noticed a pattern there; they always show at least 2° more than the sensor in my car, which is within 0.5° from the sensors reporting the condition on the road, so I know it’s accurate. But, how is that possible? Shouldn’t the meteorologists have the most accurate sensors? They should, normally. However, in the recent decades in the West, this is not how it works.

How it works is that the “higher ups”, the ones holding the wallet from which the scientists are paid, decided that we’re having a global warming, and that’s the scientific truth. Since the scientific truth is already known and should not be disputed, all the measurements should reflect it and show that the global temperatures are indeed rising. The countries and stations that don’t show accurate measurements will have their funding removed. So, we now live in a world where scientific measurements are accurate if they align with politics, and not the physical reality, and political accuracy is rewarded with funds, so that the databases can be filled with politically accurate temperature readings, and those who dare to measure the actual physical reality will be perceived as wildly inaccurate compared to the adjacent measurement spots, and the heads of departments will get demoted and their funding removed.

One will ask how is it possible to spoof temperature readings, and I’ll just laugh. I don’t think they even use thermometers anymore, I think they just use some infrared satellite map and the computer reads out the values based on what somebody told it to read out. Also, all the scientists know what to say in the media when asked about anything. It’s like that joke about the Sunday School, where a nun made a small quiz, and the answer to all four question was Jesus, and she then decided to cheer the kids up a bit and asked “What is it that lives in the trees, has a fuzzy tail and gathers nuts for the winter?” One kid answered “I know the correct answer is Jesus, but to me it sounds a lot like a squirrel.”

The scientists know the correct answer to every question is global warming. No amount of walnuts in a hole in the tree will change this truth, because they know who holds the wallet. They are just like a whore telling her customer he has the biggest cock she ever saw, because a happy customer returns and pays extra.

Campi flegrei volcano acting up

There is a serious increase in earthquakes at Campi Flegrei supervolcano site near Naples, Italy. Essentially, it’s an earthquake swarm indicating a rise of magma, which is already shallow enough.

From what I can tell, this one doesn’t need much to go critical, and it’s hard to tell what magnitude of a disaster is imminent, because those things happen on a scale, it’s not just “nothing happens” and “everything explodes”. However, since there’s a city of 6 million people there, even a small eruption would cause mass panic and ashfall would endanger a significant portion of the population. A moderate eruption happening there would be a huge disaster, merely because the area is so densely populated. However, if this thing really blows, there’s no need for warnings or evacuations because the safe area will begin somewhere outside Europe.

Campi Flegrei is a supervolcano, like Toba or Yellowstone. If that one blows up, I’m close enough that I’ll likely end up under a meter of ash. That’s why I’m not worrying about it much, because there’s nothing I can do about it. I am, however, posting this notification, because it suddenly became a thing, and I don’t think all those volcanoes are just acting up by accident or at random. There must be a common causal factor, either something geological like that magnetic pole shift that seems to be going on, or gravity causing tidal forces in the Earth’s molten interior (either planetary conjunction or something else), or some kind of a neutrino flux from the Sun increasing radioactive decay and thus increasing the convective movements in the molten interior. Too many things are acting up, and those that are closest to being critical already might go over the limit.
