Based on mass and increasingly precise radius limits, astronomers have concluded that Sagittarius A* is the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole.[8] The current value of its mass is slightly in excess of 4 million solar masses.

LEGALIZED THEFT!
The European Commission will present a legal proposal to help EU countries confiscate assets frozen as part of the sanctions campaign against Russia, two officials with knowledge of the plan said Wednesday.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
One official said that the proposal would “extend the legal possibilities for the confiscation of assets without a conviction,” referring to the fact that while sanctions already allowed the freezing of Russian oligarchs’ assets, it was currently much more difficult to permanently expropriate those assets without a trial and conviction.
The question of what to do with the assets or their proceeds would be up to EU countries, said the officials, who added that discussions are continuing on whether to divert these funds to Ukraine.

We should be very fearful and if the NATO follow the pattern of provocation (as in the fraudulent Bucha) I fully expect nuclear war.
And there are signs.
In fact Russia is eliminating the Ukrainian army so NATO is losing
So the ex NATO commander in the notorios rag The Mirror States that since Putin is losing so awfully that he will launch a nuclear strike.
That is preparation for THEM to launch a nuclear strike and BLAME it on Russia.
So the way into escalation. The NATO are ruthless and reckless.
They are totally evil

William Astore has written a great article. People should not underestimate just how evil this system is. Who would have ever thought they would be able to advance a history of the Holocaust in Ukraine and totally omit the decisive role of the home Ukrainian Collaborators and have Jews go along with this, and even lead in this evil as the much acclaimed British Israeli writer Phillips has just done. That there is such deceit shows what danger we are in.
A great and timely article:

@Edgar
This would help of course, but the mask is a drain on the hydration of the upper airways and will wick out the moisture, sort of like a slow sink. The degree will depend on the actual mask being used and the level of physical exertion that will cause breathing to increase and thereby increase moisture loss from the respiratory tract. If you are talking, this will exacerbate the situation as well, as opposed if you are sitting or reclining quietly. The more well fitted the mask, such as with a respirator, the more of an issue the mask will cause as well. I have worn the P-95 respirators (https://sanusaer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Mask.jpg) at length and it is so dehydrating that I found the experience quite debilitating – I really am quite pleased to never have to use that thing again. This is of course an extreme that won’t be faced with a regular mask, but it makes the point.
Regarding the issue of masks preventing the ill from spreading the virus, it really doesn’t. A mask will catch spittle or sputum that flies out of the mouth while coughing, sneezing or talking, if it is large enough to be seen, but the simple act of breathing out normally will send countless particles flying through even a N-95 respirator mask that is well fitted to the face because the virus is much smaller than the pore size in the mask. One thing about Covid that should be kept very clearly in mind is that it is an airborne virus. It is not transmitted by spittle that flies a few feet before hitting the ground. It is emitted from an ill person and will float in a room upto weeks, even without ventilation before hitting the ground. This is why people being forced to lockdown inside homes and buildings was so devastating, because this is how the disease was best to transmit between people, with every breath from an infected person increasing the concentration of the virus in the house. The concentration in the house is how the uninfected become exposed and infected, primarily. Direct contact is a possible path towards infection, but they have proven pretty soundly that it is a weak second pathway to infection. So washing hands is good practice, but it doesn’t address the reality that most people are infected simply by breathing infected air.
Regarding the Japanese, they are around the 38th parallel, which is a really important fact. People who live above the 34-35 parallel, north of a line between Tennessee and Los Angeles, have a marked drop in their production of Vitamin D levels between October and April. This is a major cause of influenza. Japan gets very cold, so they bundle up, but what sun they do get does causes Vitamin D synthesis in the winter. They also eat a lot of fish, which can also support Vitamin D ingestion (depends on the fish). They also live on an island and the humidity is likely very high, so inhaling very moist air may support the inspiring of less dry air even thru a mask. Just some thoughts that occur to me as relates to your fair question about their extensive mask usage.
O.K. TED- Don’t bother, I’m re-writing.
I sent in two posts. My main one was about IVERMECTIN, but it is my more casual enquiry about face masks seems to have generated all the posts..
PELONI-. I note all your details and am astounded that there could be so many, all potentially damaging. But to the mask wearer, not others. My own post pointed out that mask wearing prevented the infected wearer from transmitting to others, but you go much further, showing that non infected wearers can suffer possibly fatal or at least chronic afflictions.
(Can I take it that adequate hydration would alleviate or prevent those rebounding effects.)
I had no idea that such was so wide ranging. Although I have already seen that Canadian researchers reported finding microscopic particles of polypropylene and plastic in victims’ lungs.
FELIX- You and I are friends and nothing can change that. It should not deter you from speaking out on your strongly held opinions. My position on Global Warming, already posted here, is that it is irregularly cyclic, caused by what’s occurring on the Sun’s surface, and other naturally occurring phenomena, and that humans have a minimal or no effect.
The scientific evidence seems overwhelming.
I have posted her ethat I’ve already lived through winters “the coldest in 80 years” One, vividly recalled was when the German bombs fell across the road from my home. It was January, bitterly cold, 18″ of snow, the ruptured overhead cable lying, spluttering sparks, the tram lines a mangled mess. The canals were frozen over and people skated along them.. (6 years later it was colder, and 6 years after that colder still)
RIGHT NOW, Ireland has had the coldest winter on record. (130 years) Europe close behind.
But the rest of the world seems to be warmer. We have NO control over weather-except to be able to cause precipitation at certain times if the clouds co-operate.
TED_ I posted answers to PELONI and FELIX, on one post, which seems not to be present. Please have a look and let me know as I need to then rewrite it.

@Edgar
Something I left off about the masks. Those who are less healthy, have poor nutrition, have established diseases(the more the less merry), or are obese, will be more impacted and be less capable of compensating due the the risks discussed in the previous comment. Kind of an obvious point, but I thought I should not it in any case.
@Edgar
Regarding the association with the increase in deaths, there are many ways that masking might result in increase the risk of illness. Some measure of these people will de-compensate and die as a result and many others may simply develop lung compromising illnesses which can lead to their own complications later in life reducing the lifespand.
If you wear a mask for any length of time you will note that the mask will collect moisture in it, and that your mouth will become somewhat dried out. This will partially be due to the moisture which is being exhaled is not being replaced when you inhale as the moisture is collecting on the mask. This is not an incidental issue, as the moisture level in the respiratory track is a vital component in a primary defense mechanism of the upper airway called the mucociliary escalator or mucociliary clearance which is quite an elegant defense mechanism. In it, the airway has a system of catching inhaled bacteria, viruses and fungi and inanimate particles, which get caught in the mucous covered lining of the airway and pushed back up the respiratory tract into the back of the mouth where it is then swallowed to be eliminated via the GI tract. When a person becomes generally dehydrated or even if the upper airway is selectively dehydrated due to breathing either dry air or room air thru a mask, this reduces the tackiness of the mucous in the airway and defeats this very important respiratory defense. This can allow infectious or toxic inhaled particles to gain access to the deep lung tissues and setup the associated inflammatory/infectious reactions which cause the associated disease states.
But there is more. The moisture in the mask that is constantly on the mask, from the inhalation of moist air and the exhalation of moist air presents the mask with the ability to adhere bacteria and viruses. Over time the bacteria and viruses will collect on the mask, and the bacteria will actually grow(viruses only grow in living cells). This collection increases the concentration of these bugs and when a person inhales, a larger set of these will enter the airway and defeating the body’s natural defenses is a numbers game, the more you inhale at once, the more that will get to the target site and cause disease.
The discomfort associated with mask usage often causes people to pull the mask below the nose, and breath in and out over that one little strip just below the nose, making it an even more potent loading point for infectious particles, but it reduces the dehydration of the upper airway.
Also, masks are not regulated. You can make a mask out of anything, even using nylon shirts pulled up on the face or cut them out of random material or hand towels(they really did this). Due to reusage or simply due to the materials included in a given mask, particles from the masks can break free and may be breathed into the airway, while covered in the bacteria/viruses. These particles, depending on what they are made of, can cause intense inflammatory reactions, besides carrying the filth on them into the deep lungs, again if they evade the defenses of the airway. Nylon particles are known to cause a highly inflammatory reaction in the lung, for instance.
A recent autopsy of 13 bodies showed 11 had plastic associated with masking in the lungs. I didn’t read the details of that study, so FYI, grain of salt and such.
There is more to relate the potential effects harsh cleaning chemicals and the effects of increased CO2 inhalation on the blood chemistry, but I think the point is made that masks are not innocuous as they might appear to be.
I have some strong objections on the 2022 IVM Friendship trial that seems to be abuzz from everyone recently, so I’ll share that in the next day or so.

I am not in medicine. But I have tried to learn.
I have been put off by you because of your very strong views against global warming.
But that impinges greatly on discussion of virus.
And so I hesitate to raise it again. But it impinges so deeply I will of course.

Why the video? I do know a little about class.
But to the point. Lavrov should be respected because Russians too paid the price for Nazi racism. I don’t recall you referring to that.
Edgar,
what we have in common is brilliant daughters. The rest is essentially politics. The field of medicine, sadly, has become “cult science”, controlled by extremely self-interested industrialists. So-called “doctors” are killing people for fun and profit. If it were just a matter of adults making informed medical choices, it would be something we could discusss; but we have instead been mandating INSANE medical choices for children. God help us all, including our children and grandchildren. I don’t want to waste time arguing about these matters: Some people trust Fauci, as though he were God; we are dealing with dogma, not medicing.
I really wonder how face masks cause greater death counts. After all they can only contain the virus infected wearer from spreading to others. The Japanese have been using them very successfully for the past century to prevent the spread of flu and other respiratory ailments. And their face masks are mere unshaped strips of cotton.
Of course co-relation doesn’t mean causation, but the figures are so huge that they must be relevant. But I just don’t see the irrefutable connection. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will explain it.
Sara’s info led me to do some digging, and resulted in a few “plums”…….
1) The Egyptian Trial which began this Ivermectin rush was quickly withdrawn having been found to be fraudulent. But…the horse had already bolted from the stable, still hasn’t been caught.
2) Farm Suppliers have been selling out their animal Ivermectin PASTE very quickly, It’s a horse and general animal med. The paste is 100 times more powerful than tablets for people and is dangerous for humans..
3) The first 9 months of 2021 brought a “reported” over 2000 cases of Ivermectin poisoning, 4 times as many as the previous year. Many times those numbers are suspected but not reported.
4) The big Ivermectin “pusher”,Dr. Pierre Kory, in his interview on Joe Rogan, and his sworn Senate testimony, said that taking it completely PREVENTS getting COVID.
5) He later excused his own catching COVID (2 days after his daughter caught it) by saying that maybe he should double the dose and take it twice a week instead of once.-very scientific and convincing, I’d say ?????? No info on his present viewpoint. He is now a “former” care dr. and his Senate testimony has been “taken down”.
6) Many scientists on the bandwagon, are NOT Virologists and have no ex6)perience as such. They are “positive thinkers”………..??
7) Kory’s testimony was in 2020, and much more has emerged since, showing Ivermectin does not help with COVID.
8) Even if recovered from COVID after taking Ivermectin, this does not show that the drug caused the cure. Only double blind studies can show this, and they are still being conducted -all with statistically negative results.
I have not caught COVID, and I don’t take anything. It proves nothing.

@MICHAEL-
I well know the qualifications of you and your wife, Michael, and they are not in question. I thought to do you a service by bringing this issue to your attention for a closer perusal.
Have your friends used Ivermectin AFTER they contracted severe COVID and were healed in a few days.?? I ask, because that seems to be what you imply. I have no quarrel with it. Taking info account all the false positives and engatives of the very flawed tests……..
My daughter Sara is brilliant, and a deep researcher. She and I have had many differences concerning items I’ve mentioned to her. she has effectively silenced me every time.
Just a casual check of Ivermectin says that it is also effective against Dengue, Yellow Fever, and other viral diseases.
Yet, on looking at establishments like the Mayo Clinic, it becomes clear that they are viruses which have NO cure, only treatment. They say so plainly.
So, after considering how unlikely it would be that a Parasite med. would be also a cure for a viral disease. it seemed to me that it could be discussed.
After all, Ivermectin has been available for about 50 years, for animals and 35 years for humans, and we have never seen any proof of it as a cure for anything but parasites….until now.
Hi, Edgar
I’m sure Sara is doing what she thinks best. You know you live in a medical autocracy, where the only thing harder to get than Ivermectin is truth. My wife (a retired RN Charge Nurse, with over 50 years experience) and I (I have an MS in Chemistry) researched these things long ago. Most of our friends have used Ivermectin effectively to fight COVID-19, without side effects.
BTW, our Governor, Kate Brown, has set us free from most of the COVID restrictions (which we generally didn’t pay attention to anyway), in order to focus on supplying grade school boys’ bathrooms with menstrual aids:
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/kate-beown-has-lost-her-damn-mind/
I suppose you can see the mental calibre of the people dictating medical policy.
@MICHAEL S.-
My daughter Sara sent me an article showing conclusively that Ivermectin does NOT cure COVID, and is a fallacy. This is why the WHO had not authorised it.
Please look it up on the internet. There are many articles about it as being a “fake” cure. The latest research is dated to 2022.

@Edgar In case you didn’t watch the scene, Kirk is responding to their leader who says, literally, “we have no choice but to be killers; it’s in our nature,” which is what you suggested.
I once played in an orchestra conducted by the pianist/conductor/composer of an original concerto that had the same theme as a famous animated tv show, “The Simpsons.” When I pointed it out to him, he said he had never heard of it.
I took a playwrighting class in which somebody imaginatively wrote a scene about a place he had never been or read about and somebody from that place was amazed at how realistic it was.
The old mastesr like Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert liberally borrrowed themes from each other and played with them.
And everybody turns out a lot of dreck before producing gems. Mozart isn’t generally treated as a serious composer before he reached his 20s, though Mendelssohn is; he was still a teenager when he wrote Midsummer Night’s Dream and the Octet, I believe. Hard to generalize.
I think one of the reasons that there has been a paucity of really good original music in the west is stringent copyright rules.
I took a Music theory class, much of which was learning to recognized the styles of established composers so as not to imitate them by mistake.
Everybody has to be so careful, they can’t play or just write, so they come up with just a few pieces that could be entitled, “in search of a melody.”
II imagine it’s good for insurance companies, though.
You know Charles Ives never made a dime as a composer. He composed as a hobby but he cofounded Met Life. Hmmmm. Ha ha.

I had no idea of this. I watched Startrek only for the first year. What’s his name, pointy ears Nimoy the Shmpok with his hand gesture of the Kohanim…ech…!! As I wrote elsewhere today, all novel writers are necessarily liars with good imaginations-just like actors…
An aside with no connection to above. A few minutes ago i heard a song, sung by a man….soo..?? I hadn’t heard this particular singer or song since I was a kid, I was 15.on my first trip away from home -to Cork City to stay with an uncle and aunt for the summer.,,,,, It was Arthur Tracy, “The Street Singer” singing “Marta”. They had a wind up gramophone and some records. One of them was a great one, Eddie Carroll’s “Harlem” played by George Scott-Wood and his Swingers”. A really good orchestra. Another was “I’m An Old Cowhand”, played by The Sons of The Pioneers”…I always remember the short fiddle solo, very swingy -almost Jazz. I mean OLD jazz.
Great stuff. very nostalgic.
Arthur Tracywas a Yid from Ukraine, became a huge Hollywood star, and lived to be neary 100 years old.
