Fernando Kaskais

 by Sean Adl-Tabatabai, Your News Wire In the 15th and 16th century history underwent a huge campaign of misinformation and deception.

Stewartsynopsis.com reports: In order to make such a substantial statement, presentation of verifiable evidence is compulsory. Let’s start with what some of … Continue reading Ludwig van Beethoven was a black man, says new book

Fernando Kaskais

Brian Eno (Credit: Reuters/Alexander Demianchuk) Israel is using artists, again, to obscure its dismal human rights record. We must all demand the truth BRIAN ENO It has become customary for Oscar nominees to receive a “swag bag” of gifts and favors from various companies. This year, alongside the usual random bits and pieces — a “Vampire” breast lift, a sex-toy, and a lifetime supply of Lizora skin creams — there is an unusual contribution: A five-star luxury trip to Israel for every nominee in the main acting and directing categories. The trip is sponsored by the Israeli government. Israel is … Continue reading Brian Eno: “Oscars’ swag bag is part of Israel’s cultural propaganda campaign”

When technology makes it possible, our brains will be ready to be teleported across space – study

Fernando Kaskais

© Chris Helgren / Reuters Teleportation may stay in the realm of science fiction for the foreseeable future, but scientists say that our brains already react favorably to instantaneously being transported across space. In a study published in the journal Neuron on Thursday, neuroscientists from the University of California, Davis studied how the brain would react if it were to be “beamed up” from one place to another using a virtual simulation. When volunteers entered a virtual teleportation device ‒ similar to the ones made famous in the Star Trek franchise ‒ researchers found that that their brains gave off certain … Continue reading When technology makes it possible, our brains will be ready to be teleported across space – study

Intelligent invisible terrestrial entities found using concave lens, roaming freely in atmosphere, sky

Fernando Kaskais

We are not alone! By Shepard Ambellas (INTELLIHUB) — A white paper has been published by the American Journal of Modern Physics, authored by Nobel Prize nominee Ruggero Maria Santilli, which proves that living Invisible Terrestrial Entities (ITEs) are freely roaming, flying, about within Earth’s atmosphere and possibly beyond. The type of telescope Santilli is using differs from other common telescopes which have been used by astronomers to the likes of Galileo for hundreds of years. The Santilli’s abstract reads: By using telescopes with concave lenses, known as Santilli telescopes (trademarkand patent pending by the U.S. publicly traded company Thunder … Continue reading Intelligent invisible terrestrial entities found using concave lens, roaming freely in atmosphere, sky

Luxurious Memories Of Pissing In Paris Urinals (1878 Photos) By Paul Sorene “Prostitutes like wilted flowers and pissoirs filled with piss-soaked bread” – Henry Miller’s ode to Paris 3 urinal stalls slate. Floor Maine Paris XIV. Circa 1875. In 1878, Charles Marville  (1813-1879) showcased his photographs of Paris’ urinals at the Paris Exposition. The French love an al fresco wee. Many of us do, but only the French have tried to take a waz against a wall and make it better than a hurried, wet-legged, gormless look at piss-stained bricks. In all Marville produced 37 photographs of “kiosks established on public roads and in walks … Continue reading When Paris had a very special kind of smell

Is there really any difference between men and women’s brains?

Fernando Kaskais

Matt Cardy/Getty Images The Differences Between Men and Women’s Brains Lesson one: There aren’t many. BY DONNA MANEY Asking whether there are sex differences in the human brain is a bit like asking whether coffee is good for you—scientists can’t seem to make up their minds about the answer. In 2013, for example, news stories proclaimed differences in the brain so dramatic that men and women “might almost be separate species.” Then in 2015, headlines announced that there are in fact no sex differences in the brain at all. Even as I write this, more findings of differences are coming … Continue reading Is there really any difference between men and women’s brains?
