Black Lives Matter Issues Insane Decision As Calls For “Black Christmas” Gain Power

Posted by Allison Hillman | Nov 29, 2017

Melina Abdullah wants Christmas to be Black.

Those that cry racism at every incident are once again stepping forward to make an issue over race. Rest assured, if this were reversed it would be all over the news labeled as a hate crime. Instead, Black Lives Matter leader Melina Abdullah is free to call for all blacks to “bring down white capitalism with ‘Black Christmas.’”

The group wants black citizens to boycott white businesses. The explanation behind this, according to Abdullah, is that “the economic system and the racial structures are connected.” She seems to believe that if black people stop shopping at white businesses then it will stop racism;

“We have to not only disrupt the systems of policing that literally kill our people, but we have to disrupt the white supremacist, capitalistic, patriarchal, heteronormative system that is really the root cause of these police killings.”View image on Twitter

She naturally doesn’t address what happens to all the blacks and minorities that work at white businesses if they are forced to close shop. Now, remember, the only people labeling businesses as white and black are groups like BLM.

White business owners are not kicking out black customers or only hiring whites, there are laws against that and rightfully so. The money that white businesses make benefits more than just white people. The list of logical reasons against their plan goes on and on.

Another BLM organizer Anthony Ratcliff also weighed in on the issue with an equally flawed point;

“Black Lives Matter and other organizations build a strong critique and understanding of racism and white supremacy and sexism and homophobia, transphobia, but we have to have as much hatred or vitriol against capitalism. Until we start to see capitalism [is] just as nefarious as white supremacy, we will always be struggling.”

It should be noted that both of these people are professors, both at California State University. The students there must be getting quite an education.

The BLM plan also goes beyond just shopping at black-owned businesses, they would prefer you don’t shop at all. Yes, their website urges you to boycott the holidays and instead, “BUILD NEW TRADITIONS: Donate to Black-led community-based organizations in the name of your loved ones as holiday gifts.”

Once again, they may consider it capitalism but a little thought should go into what happens to the millions of black employees if these businesses are forced to go under. Will these community-based organizations support all of them? That didn’t work very well when Obama promised it.

If BLM wants to promote black-owned businesses and encourage people to shop there, that would be acceptable. What doesn’t make sense is the constant push to present everything as black OR white. Why can’t it be both?

Volcanoes pose a greater threat to humanity than first thought, with Earth scientists in the UK reporting that super-eruptions are historically more frequent than previous data revealed.

Analyzing volcanic activity within the last 100,000 years, researchers from the University of Bristol revised the timeline for super-eruptions, which can produce around 1,000 gigatons of erupted mass.

The Yellowstone Caldera in Wyoming is classed as one such supervolcano, which could emit sustained pyroclastic eruptions with climate- and life-changing results.

The new study from Bristol scientists, published in the Earth and Planetary Science Letter, suggests large, catastrophic eruptions are most likely to happen every 17,000 years.

It's a significant revision from a 2004 estimate, said Jonathan Rougier, of the University of Bristol.

"The previous estimate, made in 2004, was that super-eruptions occurred every 45-714 thousands years, comfortably longer than our civilization. But in our paper just published, we re-estimate this range as 5.2-48 thousand years, with a best guess value of 17,000," he said.

And the two most recent ones came 30,000 to 20,000 years ago.

"On balance, we have been slightly lucky not to experience any super-eruptions since then. But it is important to appreciate that the absence of super-eruptions in the last 20,000 years does not imply that one is overdue. Nature is not that regular."

He added: "What we can say is that volcanoes are more threatening to our civilization than previously thought."

In 2014, the US Geological Survey warned that if the massive volcano at Yellowstone National Park were to boil over, cities nearly 300 miles away would be covered in up to three feet of ash.

I Visited East Aleppo – There Is No Doubt Nusra And White Helmets Are The Same Organization

NOVEMBER 28, 2017

By Brandon Turbeville

It is well known to anyone who spends even the smallest amount of time researching the Syrian conflict that the United States and Britain have been providing support to not only the White Helmets but also to terrorist groups such as al-Nusra, ISIS, and al-Qaeda among others. Indeed, ample evidence shows that the White Helmets are nothing more than a support group for al-Nusra, essentially acting as a propaganda wing of the organization. In other words, it is evident enough to anyone who examines the situation closely that the White Helmets and Nusra are the same organization.

The journalist who has contributed the most to exposing the White Helmets fraud, Vanessa Beeley, has traveled to Syria on numerous occasions, bringing back video and photo evidence clearly demonstrating the link between these two groups.

I also traveled to Syria in October, 2017 and was able to get a look at the East Aleppo al-Nusra Front compound for myself. Although Beeley’s images and video are damning, there is nothing like being in the compound yourself to really get a grasp for just how interconnected these two groups are with one another. As I stood in the courtyard of the East Aleppo al-Nusra Front headquarters (formerly a school compound occupied by terrorists in hopes of using the facility as cover and great PR if ever it was to be bombed), I was struck by just how obvious it was that the White Helmets and al-Nusra were the same organization.

Despite the facility being widely recognized as the al-Nusra headquarters, once can easily see the White Helmets logo which is prominently painted along the longest side of the building adjacent to the al-Nusra building. The two buildings are so close that two children – one standing in the White Helmets courtyard and one standing in the Nusra courtyard – could play catch without trouble.

To be clear, the same compound that al-Nusra Front occupied and maintained as their own headquarters was also serving as the headquarters of the White Helmets. This presents another ready made propaganda gift since, when eliminating the terrorists from the compound, the Syrian army could be accused of bombing not only a school but selfless humanitarian rescuers.

In this compound, I found plentiful leftover medical supplies provided by Western countries, particularly England, Japan, Norway, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the European Union.

Even within the White Helmets facility, terrorist flags and graffiti were all over the building, some left haphazardly on the ground during battle, some still tacked up on the wall.

Vanessa Beeley recorded a panorama video of the compound which can be viewed here which clearly shows the proximity of the two buildings to one another.

Anyone who sets foot in this compound will have absolutely no doubt left in their mind that the White Helmets and al-Nusra are the same organization. There will also be no doubt that the Western corporate media has done nothing but lie and deceive their audiences as to the nature of the White Helmets and the entirety of the so-called “rebels” in Syria.

	Bali volcano has a history of explosive eruptions and global climate impacts By Angela Fritz November 28 Indonesian authorities ordered 100,000 people to evacuate Monday after the volcano erupted. More than 100,000 people in dozens of villages live around the base of Mount Agung, which sprung to life early last week. Thousands of tourists are trapped in a nightmare holiday with flights canceled in and out. A giant, suffocating ash cloud hovers over the island of Bali in Indonesia, and neither geologists nor local officials know what the simmering volcano will do next. If Agung’s eruptions become more intense, it would be disastrous for the island, where the economy depends on tourism and agriculture. It could also alter global temperature for months — maybe years. Mount Agung has been actively erupting for a week, but it started to rumble in August. Since then, more than 140,000 people have fled their homes in the area, according to the BBC. In 1963, when the volcano last erupted, it killed approximately 1,600 people over the course of a few months. The vast majority of those deaths were caused by the eruption’s pyroclastic flow — a high-speed wall of ash, debris and hot gas that surged down the mountainside. It was, essentially, a volcanic avalanche. “A pyroclastic flow will destroy nearly everything in its path,” the U.S. Geological Survey said. “With rock fragments ranging in size from ash to boulders traveling across the ground at speeds typically greater than [50 mph], pyroclastic flows knock down, shatter, bury or carry away nearly all objects and structures in their way.” As Mount Agung spurred the airport in Bali, Indonesia to stay closed, airlines braced for millions for dollars of lost revenue and scrambled to minimize damage. (Reuters) The memory of that eruption was fresh enough Monday, when the Indonesian National Disaster Management Authority created a 7 ½-mile evacuation zone around the mountain — which includes more than 20 villages and around 100,000 people — and triggered the country’s highest natural disaster alert level. “The current activity at Agung is pretty small-scale, although it is having a significant impact on local air traffic and the local population,” said Diana Roman, a geologist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, who cautioned that it was impossible to predict what the volcano will do. “We do not have any basis for knowing whether this eruption will intensify, continue at its current level, or stop.” With such little information to act on, officials aren’t taking chances. On Tuesday evening, a 30-minute tremor prompted warnings that a massive eruption could be imminent. If that occurs, the effect would extend well beyond Bali, into the global atmosphere. In the short term, ash particles would cause regional cooling, as the layer of dust prevents some sunlight from reaching the ground. In the long term, sulfur dioxide would mix with water droplets in the atmosphere, spread across the globe and reflect sunlight for up to three years. Average global temperature could decrease significantly. In 1991, Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines suddenly exploded. It was the largest eruption since the 1912 eruption of Novarupta on the Alaskan Peninsula. The explosion of lava, ash and rock injected a sulfuric acid aerosol cloud into the atmosphere. The cloud spread rapidly around the Earth, covering the entire globe in less than a year, and cooled temperatures by about 1 degree. Even the 1992-1993 El Niño could not overpower the cooling effect of the Pinatubo eruption, the effects of which lasted for several years. “Large eruptions can also slow other aspects of climate change,” wrote Earther’s Brian Kahn. “Research published last year shows that the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines cooled the oceans enough to momentarily depress sea level rise rates.” Mount Agung’s 1963 eruption was “moderate” in size, Roman said, but it “emitted a relatively large volume of gas that did have a cooling effect on global temperature for about one year.” The problem is, we don’t know whether Agung is just warming up on its way to a massive explosion, or whether it’s going to simply simmer. “If the eruption does intensify there could be an impact [on global temperature], though it would depend on the amount and type of gas released as well as other factors,” Roman told The Washington Post. “In other words, it could do what it did in the ’60s, or it could do something completely different. We don’t know.” (The Washington Post)

	Giant 5km-wide asteroid to make closest approach to Earth in 40 years – just week before Christmas Published time: 29 Nov, 2017 17:23 Edited time: 29 Nov, 2017 17:23 © NASA A massive asteroid which is about half the size of the space rock that wiped out the dinosaurs is expected to come the closest it’s been to Earth in almost half a century, astronomers say. The celestial body will fly by our planet as early as mid-December. Read more ‘Close shave:’ Russian astronomers visualize large asteroid flying past Earth next month (VIDEO) The asteroid, ‘3200 Phaethon’, is scheduled to sweep past Earth around December 16, NASA says. The giant space rock, which measures about 5km (3.1 miles) in diameter, will fly some 10 million km away from Earth, which is its closest appearance to our planet since the asteroid was discovered, the space agency says. Both NASA and the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center classified the asteroid as “potentially hazardous” as it passes some 3 million km away from the Earth’s orbit (the route in space our planet takes around its star). The astronomers also predict that it will come even closer to Earth in 2093, when it will pass slightly more than 2.8 million km away. “It would be this kind of object that would cause a catastrophic collision, should there be one,” Michael Mendillo, a professor of astronomy at Boston University, told Time magazine. The asteroid also takes its name from the Greek legend of Phaethon, a demigod who was once allowed to drive the sun chariot for one day and almost caused an apocalypse by scorching Earth. However, scientists believe that there is still no reason for concern. After all, the distance between the asteroid’s 2017 closest point of approach and Earth is equivalent to about 27 times the average distance between the Earth and the Moon. Read more Divert, intercept, destroy: 4 ways NASA plans to save us from Earth-bound asteroids (PHOTOS) “If you had a more massive object, its gravitational influence might make bigger tides or things of that nature, but it doesn’t really have enough mass to affect the flow of water on Earth, and it’s far enough away that it’s not going to be in our atmosphere,”Mendillo said. “A million miles is still pretty big,” he added, referring to the asteroid’s 2093 close encounter with Earth. Earlier in November, a team of Russian scientists created a detailed visual model of ‘3200 Phaethon’ flying past the Earth this December. While orbiting the sun, this asteroid crosses the orbits of as many as four planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. In fact, the celestial body has already flown “quite close” to our planet. In December 1974, it passed just 8 million km away from the Earth, but scientists were unaware of its existence at that time. The asteroid was discovered only almost a decade later – in 1983. The asteroid is also believed to be the parent body for the Geminids meteor shower, which takes place annually in December. When its activity hits its peak, which happens usually around December 13-14, hundreds of meteors could flicker the sky in just one hour. Meteor showers normally come from comets and not asteroids. This phenomenon led some scientists to believe that ‘3200 Phaethon’ is in fact a comet core that continues to slowly break apart into smaller particles. (RT)
