America is witnessing DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION of its aviation industry

April 26, 2023 -

"It almost does seem as if it's being done by design. You look at Agenda 2030 and other things that many people don't actually know about. There's language in there that they want to see a reduction of travel. You now see what's happening with 15-minute cities starting over in the United Kingdom," he told "Making Sense of the Madness" guest host Jason Bermas on April 20. "They are really looking to lock you down to ultimately control you, to control your finances. You look at ...

U.S. retaliates against Mexico with new flight restrictions amid aviation dispute

USGS announces “code red” aviation warning as Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupts

June 15, 2023 -

The USGS reported that lava flows are currently confined to the surrounding crater floor and that the eruption will not endanger the public. Despite the reassurance, the USGS elevated the volcano's aviation color code to red, meaning ash from Kilauea's eruption could still pose a threat to air travel.

This isn't the first time that Kilauea has erupted this year. The active volcano erupted in January, with activity stretching into March, reported the USGS.

The USGS' Hawaiian ...

FAA system outage draws attention to aviation system vulnerability as Canada experiences similar issue

January 12, 2023 -

Issues with the Notice To Air Mission system, or NOTAM, began on Tuesday afternoon. The problem is believed to have originated from a damaged database file. The FAA rebooted the system after failing to fix it and then ordered that all departing flights be halted. The order was in place until 9:00 on Wednesday morning.

This spurred a chain reaction of flight delays that ultimately saw more than 10,000 flights delayed and more than 1,300 flights canceled. So far on Thursday, ...

Is it a real virus? Sure. Has it killed people? Well, let's just say the virus has certainly contributed to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

But the vast majority of people are simply not in danger of dying from the disease. We know that by now because it's been around long enough for 'the science' to prove that.

And yet, we still have to contend with the fear-mongering that is still being used by the powers that be to control as much of our behavior ...

Fuel for the future: Chemist develops ammonia fuel cells that “bottle” sunshine and wind

May 06, 2021 -

The recipe entails generating up to 250 atmospheres of pressure to split the chemical bond that holds together the molecules of nitrogen and then combining the atoms with hydrogen to make ammonia.

In 2018, Douglas MacFarlane, a professor of chemistry at Monash University in Australia, developed fuel cells that can transform renewable electricity into ammonia. Fuel cells normally use the energy stored in chemical bonds to make electricity. MacFarlane's fuel cells operate ...
