Scout,

There isn't a theory in opposition to Abiogenesis. There are religions.

Then it would have to be called Obtanium :-)

Element? Really? I thought Unobtanium were those really pretty girls that would not go out with me in high school....8^)

[Nik]

Interesting and can potentially explain occasional paranormal overlaps that I bet each of us has experienced, like improbable events, low key telepathy, premonitions and more.

[Scout]

Well, that article blew my mind, J.

[Adrian]

Or did your mind blow the cosmos?

[Scout]

Good point :-)

Breakthroughs in race to create lab models of human embryos raise hopes and concerns

Heck, I figure the Chinese have been experimenting for a while without models, probably trying to successfully clone humans, with early trials ending in disaster. How would we know?

I'm just going to be seriously upset if I lose the Apocalypse pool because the Chinese cause a Planet of the Apes scenario.

I expect the CCP is currently pursuing super-soldier insitu genetic enhancements.

I draw the line at death by Apes. Death by Godzilla is OK, but NOT Apes.

Roger Stone has been promoting his book, The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Lbr41gF09...

What do y'all think?

[Scout]

That was interesting and made some sense, but I'd have to read the book and see the evidence and sources before I'd believe it.

[Papaphilly]

Stone is not the first guy to make this claim. I remember about 20 years ago another book. I seriously doubt it.

[J.]

The way I see it, the Warren Commission scr*wing the pooch, the House Select Commission on Assassination s finding that the Warren Commission had f*cked up, and then Watergate set the stage for a very distrustful American public. Then Geraldo broadcast the Zapruder Film.
https://youtu.be/HBJFT-OyDEc?si=AWbzq...

What followed was thousands of amateurs digging out every possible lead. So, now we have what I think of as a plate of spaghetti covered in marinara. There are a hundred strands crossing, twisting, and looping around each other, often hidden by the sauce. One of them is THE one. But which one?

It is entirely possible that Oswald acted alone. As a shooter, the proposed sequence is very difficult, but not impossible. As a hunter who has recovered multiple bullets from prey, the Magic Bullet does not look like it was fired into a body. It looks like it was fired into a water box. My gut says that the swamp creatures are hiding more than tacit guilt for not stopping Oswald sooner.

[Scout]

It seems to me that there were a lot of spaghetti noodles - many individuals and organizations who had motives for getting JFK out of the way, some of them within our own government. If the same thing happened today, we still might never find out the truth because the government might not want us to know the truth.

[Graeme]

I'll just lay it out here.

For decades now, I figured the CIA assassinated JFK and others including Martin Luther King.

Who sponsors the policy the CIA were executing throughout that time and since then remains an open question, but I assume those people, and/or their descendents, or chosen successors, are still major power players within this world.

The operation of power attracts the worst people to it and assassination has ever been a go-to weapon in the toolbox of dominion.

Not at all. However, I do watch lots of documentaries. I thought they were tropical. Central and South America in the Tropic zones.

No, there are many species of bot flies north of Mexico. Luckily, they don't use us as hosts, so far...

Now I got the itchies.....

[J.]

Yeah, I know some hunters who refuse to hunt squirrels until after the first hard freeze because they believe that kills off the infection, or maybe just the infected.

[Scout]

That's not fun to think about.

[Adrian]

People hunt squirrels? Cute little squirrels?

I suppose they use bazookas?
