Today’s Reading List (For Now, That Is)

Soros, “He is the largest donor to Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the presidency”

OP:

Soros’ offshore companies may not pay U.S. taxes (his spokesperson, Michael Vachon, declined to answer that question), but the billionaire donates lots of money to Democrats who write and enforce the tax laws. In the 2004 presidential election, he contributed $24 million to George Bush’s opponents. He is the largest donor to Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the presidency, plunking down $8 million, so far. He has donated “up to $1 million” to the Clinton Foundation. And Secretary of State Clinton’s emails reveal that Soros has lobbied her on behalf of his interests, which encircle the globe, mostly in the dark.

Everybody around here loves leakers from Snowden to Asange, well meet the Panama Papers.

We have leakers shown here pouring out who is offshoring massive fortunes to evade taxes, fund globalism, supply weapons etc.

The largest donor to Hillary Clinton shows that she will be pushing a Soros agenda,

Soros Capital set up an offshore company in the Cayman Islands for the purpose of investing private equity with the Carlyle Group, alongside members of Saudi Arabia’s Bin Laden family. Carlyle’s partners include ex-heads of state and former CIA officials. The private equity partnership specializes in buying and selling weapons manufacturing and intelligence gathering companies with government and military contracts and it also uses secret offshore companies to conduct business.

The Clinton email scandal just got connected to all of this skull duggery.

Trump has so much damning information to work with here, can’t wait to see the Make America Great Again attack ads for this stuff.

The last line of the signature is getting to me as it is vindicating my dear friend Pucabob, Fortean of Maine big time. OK, Jim!

Scientists made see-through wood that’s stronger than glass

except from source:

Researchers at the University of Maryland were able pull away color and chemicals from a block of wood to leave it impressively see-through. The result is a material that is both stronger and more insulating than glass, with better biodegradability than plastic. “We were very surprised by how transparent it could go,” said Liangbing Hu, who wrote about the project inAdvanced Materials.

Hu’s team isn’t the only group that’s developed a technique for transparent wood — Swedish researchers have also been able to clear out that pesky visible pulp, replacing it with a transparent polymer. The treatment techniques appear pretty similar: it’s a two-stage process.

The researchers first boiled the wood in water, sodium hydroxide and other chemicals for roughly two hours. This flushes out lignin, the molecule responsible for giving wood its color. The team then poured epoxy over the block which makes the wood four to five times stronger, although it makes it all a little less environmentally-friendly in the process.

The Enigmatic Pyramids of the Amazon

IIRC, this site was visited in maybe the 80’s (maybe earlier?) and it turned out that they were weren’t anywhere near as regular in shape or spacing as they appeared in the satellite image (which was black and white, I’m not sure what the color image @ 00:55 is) and the conclusion was that they were a natural formation.

EDIT:

Yeah, here you go: Atlas Obscura – Pyramids of Paratoari

In 1996 Gregory Deyermenjian, member of the explorers club and Peruvian explorer, made an expedition to the “pyramids” to find out what they were once and for all. While Deyermenjian a seasoned Peruvian explorer has found plenty of evidence of Incan inhabitance in the area, such as petroglyphs, paved roads, and platforms, the pyramids or “dots” were not. Upon close inspection Deyermenjian could see that they were not made by human hands but were natural sandstone formations, known as truncated ridge spurs, which can take the form of natural pyramids.
