Artyomovsk scintillation detector

https://www.hellenicaworld.com/Science/Physics/en/Artyomovskscintillationdetector.html 

 

The Artyomovsk scintillation detector (ASD) is a 100-ton scintillation underground detector that was created in the Department of High-Energy Leptons and Neutrino Astrophysics of the Institute of Nuclear Research of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1969 to study:

1) antineutrino streams from collapsing stars in the Galaxy;

2) the spectrum and interactions of cosmic ray muons with energies up to 10^13 eV.

In addition to these two main tasks, the research program includes:

3) study of hadron fluxes contained in the nuclear cascades generated by muons underground;

4) study of the characteristics of decays of transuranium elements;

5) search for galactic variations of cosmic rays;

6) Study of the angular characteristics of cosmic ray muons;

7) search for atmospheric neutrinos coming from the lower hemisphere.

The experimental conditions require continuous operation of the installation.

The events registered in problems 1), 7) are rare: the estimated frequency of the event is about 0.02-0.2 per year, atmospheric neutrinos are expected to be about 8-10 per year. The counting rate in other problems is higher: the number of muons passing through the installation is 5 sec-1, showers with an energy release of> 80 GeV – 3 h-1, of which about 15% are cascades generated in the inelastic interaction of muons with soil nuclei. The detector is

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko announced that 39-year-old Metropolitan Epifaniy of the Kiev Patriarchate church is the head of the new church. His secular name is Sergiy Dumenko.

“This day will go down in history as a sacred day … the day of the final independence from Russia,” Poroshenko told thousands of supporters, who shouted “Glory! Glory! Glory!”

“I would like to call on all our brothers, bishops and all believers to the newly created united Ukrainian Orthodox Church,” Yepifaniy told the crowd outside the cathedral.

“The doors of our church are open to all.”

https://orthochristian.com/117882.html 

 

Kiev, December 13, 2018

    

Constantinople hierarch Philaret Denisenko, the head of the schismatic “Kiev Patriarchate” (KP) has shown his appreciation to another American governmental figure for his support of Ukraine’s national-ecclesiastical project of creating an autocephalous church.

Denisenko met with Jack Devine, the former Acting Director and Associate Director of the CIA, recently in Kiev. Devine, in town to promote his new book Good Hunting: An American Spymaster’s Story, expressed his admiration for the Ukrainian people who support the idea of obtaining a tomos of autocephaly from Constantinople.

We Always Knew the Dangers of NATO Expansion

https://original.antiwar.com/ted_snider/2022/08/15/we-always-knew-the-dangers-of-nato-expansion/ 

 

In 2008, William Burns, who is now Biden’s director of the CIA but was then ambassador to Russia, warned that "Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin)." He warned Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that "I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests." Short even of expansion into Ukraine, Burns called NATO expansion into Eastern Europe "premature at best, and needlessly provocative at worst." If it came to Ukraine, Burns warned, "There could be no doubt that Putin would fight back hard.

Conspiracy Blogger ‘Tony Cartalucci’ Reveals His Identity

By Khaosod English– November 4, 2020 5:30 pm

BANGKOK — The anonymous blogger known for his prolific anti-Western conspiracy theories and unfounded accusations against the pro-democracy movements in Thailand is no longer anonymous.

If his account is to be believed, the pseudonym “Tony Cartalucci” belongs to American citizen by the name of Brian Joseph Thomas Berletic.

Writing in a recent blog post on the Land Destroyer Report, Berletic said he is behind Tony Cartalucci and several other identities. The self-described “independent geopolitical analyst” said he had to conceal his identity to protect his family from attacks arising from his critical works against his homeland.

In Romania, U.S. Troops Train Close to Russia’s War, in Signal to Moscow


The deployment to a NATO country near the conflict in Ukraine is seen as a model of deterrence for a U.S. military that has recently stepped back from direct fighting.
 MIHAIL KOGALNICEANU AIR BASE, Romania — The soldiers of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division train, eat and sleep on a drab, sprawling post in southeast Romania, a mere seven-minute rocket flight from where Russia has stockpiled munitions in Crimea.

Steve Bannon and China’s Deep State

How to Overthrow the Communist Party of China

On June 4, 2020, purged billionaire deep state operative Guo Wengui (aka: Miles Guo), now operating from New York City, established a new organization called ‘The New Federal State of China’ with a shiny new flag, constitution and cheesy anthem – devoted entirely to the overthrow of the Chinese government… which will undoubtedly happen any day within Guo’s wildest imagination. 

When this project was unveiled, Steve Bannon and Guo stood shoulder to shoulder on the Asian millionaire’s $28 million yacht in the New York harbor with the statue of liberty featured in the background and planes carrying flags announcing the new Federal State of China flying overhead.

 

 

 

The Last Crusade, Part II

 https://cluborlov.wordpress.com/2022/12/30/the-last-crusade-part-ii/

 

We are, most of us unwittingly, bearing witness to a momentous development: the end of the thousand-year Drang nach Osten—the relentless eastward march of the reanimated corpse of the Western Roman Empire, with the Pope as its symbolic head and Vatican as its symbolic capital—known as the Crusades. Of these, the Southern Crusades are far better known in the West, while the Northern Crusades, launched in 1147, are far less widely known. But they were kept going the longest—until February 22, 2022—because, unlike China, India and just about every other non-Western country, Russia has never surrendered to anyone.

The gauntlet was thrown down in 1252, when Alexander Nevsky accepted an official document, called yarlyk, from Khan Batyj of the Golden Horde (part of the Mongolian Empire), allowing him to reign as the Grand Prince of Kiev (and thus the ruler of all of Russia), rather than ask for a blessing from the Pope in Rome, as was required of all Western kings. To these Western potentates, their claim to be ordained by God was based on approval by His head office at the Vatican; to the Russians, the Pope was just some heretic usurper. The religious distinction played itself out over time, but the notion that there is an exclusive club of Western nations who deserve to wield authority over the rest of the world has remained to this day.

There followed a series of onslaughts on Russia spanning many centuries, all stemming from the same simple principle: that which the West cannot control must be destroyed. The Germans and the Swedes kept on attacking it until 1709. Then the French attacked again in 1812; and then the Germans in 1941. The Americans were poised to attack in March of 2022, via their Ukrainian/NATO proxies, but were preempted by Russia’s Special Military Operation. Thus, the last Crusade has been aborted and further attempts seem unlikely, since, at this point, there is no question of destroying that which the West cannot control, and not just Russia but also much of the rest of the world. Even tiny North Korea can stand up to the collective West and wag a finger in its face. The thousand-year show is nearly over.

Over the previous centuries, every time after Russia expelled yet another crusader, some other Western nations would take the lead and attempt to march on Moscow: it was the Germans (as the Teutonic Knights, then the Swedes, the Poles, then some more Swedes, then the French under Napoleon, then the Germans under Hitler, and now the Americans (disguised as some hapless, clueless Ukrainians) under Biden. (Yes, the last act of this drama is most definitely a farce.) But who could possibly rise up as the next crusader du Jour? Nobody! There isn’t anyone left in the West to continue the project.

Google Execs Declare "Code Red" Over Revolutionary New Chat Bot

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/google-execs-declare-code-red-over-revolutionary-new-chat-bot 

 

Three weeks ago and experimental chat bot called ChatGPT was unleashed on the world. When asked questions, it gives relevant, specific, simple answers - rather than spitting back a list of internet links. It can also generate ideas on its own - including business plans, Christmas gift suggestions, vacation ideas, and advice on how to tune neural network models using python scripts.

Some even think it may supplant Google's search business, the NY Times reports.

Although ChatGPT still has plenty of room for improvement, its release led Google’s management to declare a “code red.” For Google, this was akin to pulling the fire alarm. Some fear the company may be approaching a moment that the biggest Silicon Valley outfits dread — the arrival of an enormous technological change that could upend the business.

For more than 20 years, the Google search engine has served as the world’s primary gateway to the internet. But with a new kind of chat bot technology poised to reinvent or even replace traditional search engines, Google could face the first serious threat to its main search business. One Google executive described the efforts as make or break for Google’s future. -NYT

Gene Sharp: CIA ‘Color Revolution’ Guru and Fraud

 https://www.greanvillepost.com/2019/08/11/gene-sharp-cia-color-revolution-guru-and-fraud/

 

on | Crosposted with Strategic Culture

[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ot that there are any genuine or harmless gurus, of course. Still, governments are unlikely to mourn the recent passing of Gene Sharp, widely reputed to be the father of the tumultuous “color revolutions” of recent memory. Nor is his departure likely to be regretted by the world’s huddled masses, who were cynically deluded by the false promises of this mediatically generated guru and his zealous and corrupt local acolytes. They have no reason to be thankful for being callously instrumentalized to merely exchange one yoke for another, the later often more insufferable than the preceding one.

Curiously, it was the establishment’s own mouthpiece, “The New York Times,” which disingenuously mourned the “rebel” Sharp as “a preacher’s son whose own gospel of nonviolent struggle inspired velvet revolutions that toppled dictators on four continents, [who] died Jan. 28 at his home in Boston. He was 90.”

Things are, of course, considerably more complex than that.

He was systematically misrepresented to the public as a shy, modest, k

ANTARCTICA UPDATE: MORE STRANGE VISITORS…

 https://gizadeathstar.com/2016/12/antarctica-update-strange-visitors/

 

In the wake of my blogs about the strange goings on in Antarctica lately, several people shared more information about the southern polar continent's list of visitors, and a very strange list it is indeed. And I thought I'd pass along their findings to the readership here, along with a few remarks and high octane speculations of my own. For example, Mr. D.A. sent along the following list; among the list of visitors to Antarctica, we may now add the fact that former President Bill Clinton visited the Christ Church, New Zealand "Deep Freeze" Base in that city:

 

So adding it all up, we have the following increasingly strange and bizarre list of people that have either visited, or have been connected to, Antarctica:

1)  Rudolf Hess (sponsor of 1938-39 Nazi Expedition);

2) Herman Goering(sponsor of 1938-39 Nazi Expedition);

3) Admiral Richard Byrd, visitor, leader of Operation High Jump, 1947, who makes strange remarks for El Mercurio of Santiago de Chile about the USA preparing to defend against "enemy fighters that can fly from pole to pole with tremendous speed";

4) Russian Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow, Kiril III (visitor), to bless an Orthodox chapel;

5) US Secretary of State John Kerry, visitor, to learn about "climate change" (so we're told);

6) Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11 Moon astronaut, visitor, who tweets about getting ready to "go to the launchpad", who then has to be evacuated and quarantined;

7) Prince Harry of Great Britain, visitor on a "charity" junket to highlight wounded soldiers and difficult career transitions;

8) King Juan Carlos of Spain, visitor, who wants to fulfill a "lifelong ambition" to see beautiful, scenic Antarctica.
