THE REASON WHY THERE ARE SO MANY UFO SIGHTINGS NEARBY ERUPTING VOLCANOES - Duration: 2:28.

THE REASON WHY THERE ARE SO MANY UFO SIGHTINGS NEARBY ERUPTING VOLCANOES

Over the last decade, there have been numerous reports and sightings of UFO's flying in the

vicinity of dormant or, in most cases, erupting volcanoes.

Only recently there was a large glowing orb flying over the Yellowstone volcano in the

US.

In September 2017 a UFO was filmed flying over the Chaparrastique volcano in El Salvador.

In January 2017 a similar huge spherical object was flying over the Popocat�petl Volcano

in Mexico.

In 2016 there were numerous accounts of UFO's flying over active volcanoes.

Is there a reason for this increase nearby these erupting giants?

Consider this, when a medium volcano erupts, it release arround 27 megatons of thermal

energy.

That's a lot.

Could it be that these mysterious crafts have found a way to harvest the energy that is

released during these events?

One way of harvesting the immense energy was shown during a volcanic eruption in 2015 in

Chile.

The Calbuco volcano erupted and multiple witnessed captured a UFO on video that was hoovering

nearby the ash cloud.

In one of these video's the object is hit with multiple lighting strikes.

Is this the way these extraterrestrial craft harvest the power of erupting volcanoes?

These lightning flashes are created by a process called charge seperation by the ash cloud.

This could also explain why we have seen some video's of UFO getting hit by regular lightning

strikes over the last couple of years.

Maybe Elon Musk can learn a trick or two from these aircraft...

YOU ASKED FOR OUR STANCE ON TRUMP, SO HERE IT IS - Duration: 11:14.

YOU ASKED FOR OUR STANCE ON TRUMP, SO HERE IT IS

BY JOE MARTINOOCTOBER

When Trump was elected as president of the United States in November 2016 the world pretty

well shit their pants to say the least. How was it possible that this guy won the election?

But what many in the world never considered is just how fed up people are with the same

old same old. There isn�t much trust in government or corrupt politicians these days,

and people were ready to try anything new.

After the election a slurry of stories began to hit the media about who Trump really was,

how Hillary could have lost and of course, fake news was to blame for everything. Oh,

and months later Russia was to blame for everything. Even though there was no evidence of either.

We saw a massive media slandering that was essentially the childish outcry of a Deep

State upset about how things didn�t go its way.

As we covered the many stories related to the election, Trump, Hillary, Wikileaks and

so forth here at CE, our readership often asked who we truly support; Hillary or Trump?

Of course, we support neither and have stated this numerous times, yet this was something

that was difficult for many to understand because the belief is you must support one

or the other, and if you don�t support one you automatically support the other. This

is understandable of course.

The amount of anger, emotions, and frustration people have had about Trump being president

is incredible. While I believe this shows how much we collectively need to shift our

perspectives on things in general, I also believe that in many ways our emotional outcries

are where things start. We have to observe our emotions and what they telling us about

our beliefs and perspectives in order to see how we can move beyond them. We are massively

limiting our world and reality by holding on so rigidly to what we believe. To be clear,

we cannot change things from a state of anger or aggression, we must first move past this.

This is a lesson humanity is learning big time right now.

Before we go on, politics are an emotional subject for many of us because we believe

so strongly in one side or another, this is perhaps the biggest challenge we face. But

that said, it�s most serving at this point to set emotions aside as we go through this.

This won�t lift up nor bash Trump but will simply state things for what they are. But

emotions will need to be set aside to see that more clearly.

The Truth About Trump

I�m going to break this down into a political section and then a more big picture �consciousness�

section on how Trump makes us reflect on our shadows and societal issues. To note off the

top, this won�t be your typical political perspective holding to the illusory world

of politics many in the mainstream subscribe to that is completely a dog and pony show.

We�re looking beyond the veil.

First up, let�s look at some of what happened during the election, whether you believe these

things to be true or not yet doesn�t mean they are false which is an important piece

here.

During this recent election it was the first time mainstream media began talking about

a shadow government and deep state. Essentially, unelected individuals who ACTUALLY run the

country, not the people you vote for.

A massive pedophile ring involving politicians, the music and film industry and more began

being exposed. In fact, many people, including Corey Feldman had warned everyone about this

many years ago, but it was passed off as conspiracy.

WikiLeaks revealed corruption inside the DNC that illustrated how Hillary�s campaign

fixed the election to push out Bernie Sanders. Essentially proving democracy isn�t a real

thing in the US.

A massive shift in the way we view politics needs to happen. In fact, this is part of

a massive shift in consciousness that is taking place in general. We must begin to realize

that regardless of who is elected, so long as we have a Deep State or shadow government

in place, what changes in the world is typically not based on what a president does or can

do. Now perhaps that is changing slightly given that Trump, and yes I�m going to say

this, is not part of the same Deep State that many past presidents have been, including

what Hillary Clinton is part of had she won. How do we know this? It�s a long story,

but if you follow alternative news and truth politics enough you will see this. But for

the purposes of this article, I�ve been told by a number of whistleblowers with connections

to people on the inside of the US security agencies that Trump is in fact a threat to

the Deep State in a number of ways.

On top of that, long time researcher Richard Dolan has said on a number of occasions that

Trump comes in �as an outsider.� Likewise, former CIA office Robert David Steele has

stated that Trump is not Deep State.

But this is precisely where it gets tricky, does this mean Trump is a saviour? NO! And

this is where many of us are getting confused. All this means is that he�s here to shake

things up. We must stop trying to view things as a one size fits all or as if a saviour

will come in to change everything. It�s a process we�re going through and it will

happen in many stages.

�The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus

sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation . . . The little coterie of powerful

international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes.

They practically control both parties . . . [and] control the majority of the newspapers and

magazines in this country.� John F. Hylan was Mayor of New York City from 1918-1925

A Secret Government Controls The World

Just because a president is not part of the Deep State does not mean they fully know and

will act on what many seeking truth and a better world want. It only means they won�t

act entirely in favour of what the Deep State�s plan would have been. This is a huge distinction

as I�ve watched many people flip flop confused about how he could do one thing opposing the

Deep State but then do something in favor of it.

I�ve waited quite a while to write this because I was wanted the right events to take

place that would really allow us to see what I�m referring to more clearly. Although

I think many obvious things have happened in the past that could shed light on the somewhat

complicated dynamic, I knew it would simply be time that would allow us to see what Trump�s

presidency is really about and how it is serving humanity from a bigger picture perspective.

JFK Files & What That Means

A few days ago Trump stated via Twitter that he would unlock and bring forth the long classified

JFK files.

If you have played in the realm of declassified files long enough, you know this could mean

that the files may come out completely blacked out, essentially making the release of these

files useless. On the other hand, these files could come out and reveal incredible truths

that could shatter the way the general public views its country. Most importantly, this

subject is brought into the public eye in a way that no other president would have done

and this is crucial in helping us think outside the box. It almost seems as if there could

even be a build up to exploring the truth about 9/11 which obviously would send the

US into a massive unrest of questions about who truly runs their country, why they run

it the way they do, which ultimately is what the entire gnosis of what our current times

are revealing to us.

This is a very important point so I will make it again, politically, with all that is happening

since the beginning of the election up until now, what we are seeing is an unveiling of

WHO TRULY runs the United States. Think of what came out via WikiLeaks, Snowden and so

forth, this is massive stuff and it�s part of a journey of unveiling the truth about

what�s really going on. From a conscious evolutionary perspective, this is why the

election went the way it did, it�s the bigger reason why Trump is president.

It�s Wake Up Time

It�s time for humanity to wake up, and many things coming along with Trump�s presidency

is helping to do that. This includes having Trump be the very shadow he needs to be in

order to show us the social issues we also need to move beyond.

This leads into the next important section. Interestingly, Trump doesn�t try and hide

who he truly is. As awkward and absurd as some of the things he says are, he doesn�t

hide it. He states how he feels even when what he says will offend 3/4�s of the population!

To reiterate, it�s not that what he says is always good, but it�s playing a role.

He is not lying or providing lip service like most other politicians. He�s instead baring

all so humanity sees the light and the dark within him and thus within ourselves. Again

this does not make Trump a saint or a saviour, it simply allows us to look at what�s truly

going on and what role he truly plays.

Racism, sexism, inequality etc, all of these things are coming to the surface on a mass

level as part of the way he conducts himself. Not only that but Trump is also slowly breaking

down the Deep State little by little. And while it can be argued that his administration

has been infiltrated at this point by aspects of the deep state, there are still aspects

that are coming out to help shake things up.

Our stance on Trump is that he is here to allow us to see many aspects of our collective

unconscious and at the same time shed more light on the Deep State, who they are, and

why we need to take our power back from them because we have simply given it up through

blind faith and unawareness of their existence. He is not going to suddenly change the entire

world and raise mass consciousness to the point where everything is saved, but he is

also not going to be one that simply pushes forward the Deep State�s agenda in the way

Hillary Clinton would have.

He is, in essence, the next logical step in a series of events taking place on the planet

to help awaken humanity as opposed to helping to keep humanity asleep.

I highly recommend checking out this article as it also encompasses the gnosis of our position

The Not-So-Simple Process of Deciphering Hieroglyphs - Duration: 5:10.

Hello and welcome to the hieroglyph episode of Half as Interesting where I head to a museum

in Britain to talk to people from France about a language from Egypt to plug a game from

Canada.

Now, if it was 350 years ago and I showed you this, it would mean nothing, because 350

years ago, people really had no idea what Egyptian hieroglyphs meant.

Nowadays, you still probably don't know what this means, unless you're one of these

three people or me so I'll spend the next three minutes going on tangents so I can turn

this into a video.

What you have to remember about Egypt is that it's really, really old.

Cleopatra, for example, lived closer to the moon landings than to the building of the

Great Pyramids, and no, I definitely did not steal that fact from Reddit.

We're not 100% sure where Hieroglyphs came from, but by the Ptolemaic period, about 300

to 1 BC, the written language had basically split into two—Hieroglyphic and Demotic.

Hieroglyphs had existed for centuries, but at this point they were mostly used by the

elites and rulers as a form of official writing.

Demotic was a much simpler writing system used by the common people, so most of the

population couldn't even understand hieroglyphs.

At the same time, Alexander the Great had conquered Egypt so it was under Greek rule,

meaning that Greek was the official language.

Now, to the French, or more specifically, this Frenchman—Napoleon Bonaparte.

In 1798 Napoleon went to Egypt, headed to Rosetta, found this rock, and decided it was

his.

But then the British came, found it, decided it was theirs, and took it.

It was then brought to the British Museum in London, put on display, and then 200 years

later a bunch of game journalists and YouTubers had dinner around it.

The significance of the stone was that it had the same text in the three different writing

systems of Egypt— Hieroglyphic, Demotic, and Greek.

Hieroglyphic and Demotic text could not be understood, but Greek has been spoken and

written continuously for thousands of years meaning that this bottom section could be

easily translated.

And now for another frenchman—Jean-François Champollion.

Champollion started to try to translate the Rosetta Stone in 1808 but he wasn't making

much progress because in the 5th century a guy named Horapollo wrote a book about hieroglyphs

which was basically completely wrong but, since he was old and dead, everyone assumed

he was right.

The main thing that book said was that hieroglyphs were ideographic, as in, each symbol represented

an idea rather than a spoken sound.

Mathematical signs, punctuation marks, and even emojis, for example, are ideographic

characters since they mean the same thing in every language and they don't correlate

phonetically to spoken sounds.

Most of modern language, however, is phonetic where the symbols represent sounds that make

up the spoken words.

As it turns out, the hieroglyphic system is a mix of both.

The real breakthrough for Champollion came by looking at names.

Ptolemy, the king during the Rosetta Stone's inscription, was Greek, so he didn't have

an Egyptian name.

Therefore, in hieroglyphic text, his name was approximated phonetically.

So, since we know what his name sounds like in Greek, by comparing his Greek name and

Hieroglyphic name, Champollion was able to figure out what sounds the characters correlated

to.

That unlocked a huge part of the writing system and then, from there, researchers were able

to figure out much of the rest through context.

So what's the Rosetta stone about?

Well, it's ancient tax paperwork, and yet it still manages to be more readable than

a W-4 form.

But now, the reveal.

This hieroglyphic text translates to "Half as Interesting," but not literally.

Despite our relative understanding of the language, there aren't exact translations

for every English word.

And now for yet another Frenchman, but this one's alive.

This means "half," this means "as," "but the problem was interesting."

That's Dominique Farout, professor of Egyptology at the Louvre.

What he did to translate "interesting" was phonetically spell "seba," the Egyptian

word for learning.

Then, since "seba" is also the name of a star, he put the symbol for a papyrus which

means "idea" to clarify he's not talking about the star.

Then, he slipped this symbol in here because it's the logo of Assassin's Creed.

"Funny, and it is protecting, so it will protect you, and then, a man, because there

is a man, here."

That's right Domonique, I am a man, but what we're not sure about is exactly how

ancient Egyptian sounds.

Obviously, we have no recordings, so how it's said today is just an educated guess, "iripat,

hatiar, imiranet, sarnisut, marira."

We know roughly how the phonetic parts sound, but everything else is made up so speaking

today would sound like nonsense to an ancient Egyptian, "an ancient Egyptian would be

really astonished by my accent and many things," (7:10) including the idea of a video game

having real educational value, or probably the idea of a video game at all I guess.

Assassins Creed Origins comes out the day after this video goes out and it's a pretty

awesome game because they've completely and accurately recreated the entirety of Ptolemaic

Egypt so that you can kill pe…

I mean learn things.

I had a conversation with their dev team and it's clear to me how much pride they take

in the historical accuracy.

They're even releasing a special game-mode called "Discovery Tour" which essentially

turns the game into an interactive museum in ancient Egypt.

So, if you like history and seeming smart and video games and learning things and me,

make sure to check out the game with the link in the description.

Why Are There So Many Terror Attacks in Somalia? - Duration: 2:40.

In October 2017, a bombing in Somalia's capital of Mogadishu killed and injured hundreds

of people, in what's been called the world's deadliest terror attack in recent years.

It was also the third terror attack in Mogadishu in 2017, and at least the tenth bombing in

the past two years.

Somalia has experienced mass death and political instability for decades, so why is the country

such a target for terrorism?

Well, since 1991, and the start of the Somali Civil War, Somalia has wavered between being

a fragile and outright failed state.

When the government of Siad Barre was overthrown by a military junta, which was the same way

Barre came to power in 1969, the country fell into a power vacuum.

Warring factions, led by religious and regional clans fought to establish control over their

local territories, displacing and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Most notable in this power struggle was the rise of a group known as the Islamic Courts

Union.

Despite the best efforts of international and neighboring states to establish a military

force and stable government in Somalia, the ICU was able to capture and control a large

southern portion of the country.

In 2006, the capital Mogadishu fell to the ICU, and the group quickly implemented their

version of Islamic Law.

Although by the end of that year, the ICU were forced out of Mogadishu and disbanded

by the newly formed transitional government, Somalia continued to spiral out of control.

In particular, an offshoot of the failed ICU began gaining power and committing terror

attacks countrywide.

The group, called Al-Shabaab, has claimed responsibility for multiple bombings, particularly

since 2012.

This al-Qaeda aligned Islamist group, named after the Arabic word for "Youth" has

specifically targeted government institutions and non-Muslims.

Al-Shabaab has sought to establish an Islamic state within Somalia, not unlike ISIS or the

former ICU.

And while some sources report that the terror group has lost ground since their formation

around 2008, they do still control major regions, and have continued terrorizing the country.

In short, Somalia has seen a massive increase in terrorist groups, and lawlessness since

the start of its civil war.

Al Shabaab represents only a small fraction of the damage the country has undergone.

Without the support of neighboring countries, which have seen violence spill past their

borders, Somalia would likely have no functioning government at all.

With so many groups vying for control of an impoverished and oppressed region, the terrorism

and turmoil Somali citizens have experienced is unlikely to end anytime soon.

As Somalia continues to struggle with terrorism and corruption, a region of the country is

still seeking independence.

Somaliland is in the northern-most part of the of the east african country and has been

struggling for it own sovereign nation for years now.

To find out what's stopping Somaliland from becoming its own country, check out this video.

Hitting Potholes So Bad They Pop Tires - 4K Slow Motion - See through Car ( E.2 ) - Duration: 8:07.

Welcome back.

This is part 2 of the see-through Car Series.

In part one.

I left off with.

Stripping the car down.

Hitting some more potholes.

And finishing up on this street.

I'll just pick it up from there.

We are all done with this street.

Because it is way too Dusty here.

Our next stop is Cabrini-Green.

Oak Street downtown Chicago.

Before we get back to it.

I just feel like this car is not stripped down quite enough.

So I'm going to go with my gut.

Remove a few more items and.

Our E-class is ready to hit the streets of Chicago again.

So if you've ever wondered what happens to your car.

When you hit a huge pothole.

You're about to find out.

Okay so that last pothole.

That was about 15 miles per hour.

I think it was kind of lame.

So I'm going to try it again.

And I'm going to go about 30 to 35 miles per hour.

I'm going to try to go as fast as I possibly can to hit it.

And see if we can get some serious suspension travel.

Let's see how that looks.

Let's go.

The first thing that I realized from Those last runs.

Is that we need more high-speed cameras on this car.

And our friends at Vision research.

They were kind enough to send us these cameras right here.

And they also sent us Ed.

So what do you do at Vision research.

I am the senior applications engineer for the company.

So he's going to be here helping us.

Come up with some ways to mount These high speed cameras on this car right here.

What do you think about this project.

This is interesting.

It's very interesting.

I have been working and high-speed in the automotive field.

For over 20 years.

We've done something similar.

But nothing as crazy as this.

We're going to get this thing rigged up with some high-speed cameras.

Try to hit these huge potholes right here.

Which apparently people drive through every day.

And yeah that's it let's do it.

Can I wipe the baby camera?.

No don't put water on the baby camera.

Ed and I just finished mounting the additional high speed cameras.

That Vision research sent us.

And this is going to give us a closer more in-depth look.

To how the suspension works.

And what the suspension is doing.

When you drive your car through a street like this.

First run I'm going to do.

I'm going to do just a straight run down the street.

And try to hit all these cracks and crevices.

And any potholes that are in the way.

Well that was a doozy.

Very unexpectedly I popped both tires.

Believe it or not.

This was something that I was not anticipating.

I'm going to give my friend Ernie a call at Arandas Tires and Rims.

And see if we can get some tires on this thing.

Get this car back over here.

And get a few runs in before the sun goes down.

Alright Ernie just text me he's got the tires.

We're on our way to Arandas.

This thing is shaking around like crazy.

I'm almost to Ernies place.

hopefully he's going to hook us up with some new rubber on this thing.

These are the old tires here.

Yeah they definitely went through a beating.

The car actually made it to Arandas Tires and Rims.

Ernie is going to get some new rubber on there.

And it's going to hit the streets again.

And see what else we can get out of it.

But.

At this point I'm exhausted.

Over the last 3 or 4 days we have been shooting.

This car has beat me up.

And we got a lot of good footage we showed you already.

So I think what we are going to do.

Is we're going to stop this episode right here.

And we are going to continue it with a part 2 and a part 3.

Focusing on other things that you see on the street.

Like speed bumps and alleyways.

And other things in general.

Tune in for the next episode.

Check out our other videos which are all kinds of different subjects.

Also check us out on Discovery Channel.

See you guys later thanks for watching adios.

The Snowman Review: So Horrible, I Wish I Could Unsee It - Duration: 7:13.

The Snowman Review: So Horrible, I Wish I Could Unsee It

The Snowman is a huge disappointment.

The film is painfully slow and disjointed with a nonsensical plot.

The mystery at its core seems to have been strung together with masking tape.

It boggles the mind that a well-regarded source novel, fantastic cast, and veteran production team ended up with such an unmitigated disaster.

It is the latest example of how great ingredients do not always lead to a tasty cake.

The Snowman is abysmal at best.

The Snowman takes place in present day Oslo, Norway; but flashbacks in time periodically.

Michael Fassbender stars as Detective Harry Hole.

Hes a blackout drunk, but established as legendary investigator.

Rebecca Ferguson costars as Katrine Bratt, a new detective chasing a mysterious cold case.

A young mother disappears.

The pair investigates, but have few clues except for a snowman left outside her home.

This coincides with an anonymous, cryptic letter Hole received from the snowman.

Another murder leads the detectives to believe a dormant serial killer has returned.

The Snowman has horrendous pacing.

The film sputters along like the intermittent snowfall depicted.

It starts off with a somewhat interesting opening scene, then squanders that momentum with a protracted set-up.

What follows is a slew of muddled character introductions.

By the time the actual killings start, I had lost pretty much all interest in this film.

The reveal of the killer also lands with a thud.

It is an idiotic finale that drags The Snowman down even further.

The Snowman uses flashbacks to tell key parts of the story.

This is where the poor editing really stands out.

There is a clunky feel to the narrative.

The characters look like theyre bumbling around in the cold.

Then in a snap, youre in an earlier time period, watching other characters pretty much do the same thing.

Theres zero flow or rhythm to their actions.

This is quite puzzling when you consider the immense talent at the editing deck.

The Snowman is edited by Oscar winner Thelma Schoonmaker.

Shes the editor for Martin Scorsese, who is also an executive producer on this film.

I cant fathom what happened in post-production to result in such a poor editing job.

Director Tomas Alfredson (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) has to shoulder the blame for this dreck.

Hes a good director that has unfortunately turned in a stinker.

I have not read the Harry Hole novels by Jo Nesbo.

The Snowman is the seventh in a series.

They are hugely popular, so Ill assume they must be compelling to garner a sizable following.

Ill also go on a limb and suppose the adapted screenplay must have been intriguing.

It was able to attract on all-star cast with Toby Jones, Charlotte Gainsburg, Chloe Sevigny, and J.K.

Simmons in supporting roles.

The Snowman has several red herrings meant to misdirect from the real antagonist.

Alfredson fails to portray these characters and situations successfully.

They end up being outliers that add to the runtime without having a dent on the actual plot.

This end around approach may have worked in the book, but is a complete failure here.

From Universal Pictures, The Snowman is one of the worst films of the year.

It is poorly made, utterly wastes a talented cast, and is mind-numbing to sit through.

There were points in The Snowman where the audience started breaking out in laughter every time a snowman appeared.

Thats not the reaction you expect from a purportedly serious crime drama.

I would suggest reading the novel if the subject matter appeals to you.

The film is terrible and not worth two hours of time to see.
