The Sun Appears to be the Size of a Quarter Held at Arm's Length. -ALSO- The Moon Appears to be the Same Exact Size. -AND- The Shadow of the Earth Cast onto the Moon is The Same Exact Size...

Just Coincidence? Or is the Cosmos Trying to Tell us Something?

Only on Earth do the Three Most Important Objects In the Universe appear to be the same size... Reminds me of the Celestine Prophecy Book... Watch for Amazing Co-incidences...

I started thinking about this while watching the Movie TRON Legacy... and the Digital Woman from inside the computer asked the Man from Earth... "What Does the Sun Look Like?" ...and He Replied... "I'm Not Exactly Sure... Because You Can't Just LOOK AT IT... That Would cause Blindness..."

OK... That's not an Exact Transcription of the Movie... but To Me... That was the Meaning...

and at the end of the Movie he Takes her to Earth and shows her a Sunrise While Riding a Motorcycle...

The Math: 

The Sun's diameter is about 865,370 miles. The Distance from Earth to the Sun is 93,000,000 miles.

(but it changes - Earth's orbit is NOT a Circle)

The Moon's diameter of 2,159.1 miles. The Distance from Earth to The Moon is an average of 238,900 miles. (but it also changes - The Moon's orbit is NOT a Circle) 

865,370/2,159.1=400.8 
93,000,000/238,900=389.2 

400 is pretty damn close to 389...
Remember: an Object that is 400 Time Larger but
is 389 times farther away would appear to be
about the same size... and this is not just theoretical - I have seen BOTH a Solar and a Lunar Eclipse myself...

Nicolaus Copernicus formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than Earth at its center. The publication of Copernicus's model in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), just before his death in 1543, was a major event in the history of science, triggering the Copernican Revolution and making a pioneering contribution to the Scientific Revolution.[7] Before Copernicus "Everyone" Believed the Earth was the Center of the Universe...

According to Edwin Hubble: It appears that Everything is Moving away from US... One model that fits this data has the Earth at the Center of the Universe... another Model supposes that no matter where you observe the universe from, everything is always moving away from everything else...

"The Hubble law implies that the universe is expanding.[11] A decade before, the American astronomer Vesto Slipher had provided the first evidence that the light from many of these nebulae was strongly red-shifted, indicative of high recession velocities."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hubble

Another Strange Coincidence... It Could Be that The Earth is at the Center of the Universe after all... or at least the SUN... 

There is an apparent correlation between the plane of the Solar System and aspects of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It gives the plane of the Solar System and hence the location of Earth a greater significance than might be expected by chance – a result which has been claimed to be evidence of a departure from the Copernican principle as assumed in the concordance model.

~~~~~~~~~~my Gr8ful story~~~~~~~~~

I first noticed the Grateful Dead in 1968 in English class at junior high school. Our teacher had put up posters on the wall of the classroom and we wrote essays about them. He was attempting to stimulate creative WRITING but more importantly, creative THINKING.

One was an American flag made out of swastikas and another was a solarized/negative photo of 5 hairy men standing in front of "LITTLE BOXES" type suburban tract homes.

Our English teacher stopped working for the school system that year and has never been heard of since. That has happened often to people that go to see the Dead... They change their lifestyle and start associating with a different set of people...

Fans worldwide are walking away from FIFA 2026 and calling for a boycott over safety concerns tied to US immigration enforcement and political climate

https://youtu.be/buVdCYZnrQE?si=TtWnqR73PBUmGcxq

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is increasingly being overshadowed by political tension, immigration crackdowns, and rising fears over safety. The recent ICE incident, which killed a woman in Minneapolis, has faced immense scrutiny. Fans across the world are reconsidering their plans to attend the tournament. With ticket prices already under fire and public fear now entering the equation, FIFA faces a crisis it cannot simply spin away. Rupha Ramani breaks down how US President Donald Trump’s policies are shaping the World Cup narrative. Why is fan confidence rapidly eroding, and how is the world’s biggest sporting event losing the very people it has meant to unite?

If you’re not a deadhead and wonder what all the fuss is about, Or more importantly if you’re a deadhead who never had the chance to live on tour- this is my perspective, and one that might surprise even hardcore fans. We had a purpose. I'm not supposed to expound on this part of it- but Bobby is dead and it’s about time. We can expose the files.

Bobby’s passing hit me pretty hard. Those who ~lived~ on tour lost not only an icon and his music, but we lost a place. A physical, mobile space that we called home. Most of us felt more at home on Dead lot than any other place in the world. There has never been its equal, before or since. I started in Atlanta in 1992, and ended in Eugene Oregon in 1995. I lived on the road nine months a year. During that time I have no idea how many shows I saw, how many cities, campgrounds, motels, mileage. Home felt the same no matter where we were, because living on Grateful Dead tour was the home itself. Shakedown was a community event. Think of it as a farmer’s market that turned the wheel of our economy. We literally, seriously had our own economy. You could say we lived on the L standard. If you lived it, then you know what that means. The basis and primary function of our society was to disseminate our special product, and turn on the country. Kids were tripping for two hundred miles in every direction every time we came around. Each small town ran out of L just was we were coming back again the next year.

If I remember the code correctly, if you heard the song “candyman”, which is a treatise of how to conduct our business, and “deal” in the same set- it meant feds were close, and stay low on the lot. This sounds dramatized I know, but -Please remember- Owsley made ALL the real L until the end. There has been an MK Ultra connection since the start. If you question the band’s connection to our mafia (and make NO mistake- we were a peaceful drug mob), Owsley is the proof of what i’m saying. The drug, the band, and select fanbase were the purpose of ALL OF IT SINCE THE VERY FIRST NOTE THEY PLAYED. They began to communicate with us in the early 70’s. For example (from the ‘90’s) - when things went wrong, listen to “Sugaree”. Them’s the rules.

Things like that are the key difference between tour kids and fans. I’m not being a tour snob, and I’m not putting one against another. Everything was about the fans. They legitimized our existence. We had a job to do. Fans who showed up for the weekend had the reach to touch every community in the nation, and created the basis of our civilization. And raged against an Orwellian inevitability! We just supplied the means. We had a job to do, and that job was equally as important as the music. Always was, since the acid tests. This ISN’T FOLKLORE. THIS IS REALITY.
The words in the music told us what to do. Not just how to do our job, but how to conduct ourselves in a civilized society of our own making. We were about dissent. We were about free thought. We were given the tools to enlighten our society and entwine them in the magic of the music, let them viscerally feel the foment of revolution, and become individuals.

Those who called Deadlot home feel it differently, because we were a different kind of fan. It was more than just a band or a rock star. Bobby was basically the vice president, and eventually became the president. He was the leader of our mobile society. He represented the last trace of home many of us have ever known, and will never know again. When Jerry died we lost a village. Today we lost a home. There will never be an iteration of the Grateful Dead ever again. It’s been a while since I’ve been home, and I’ll never be able to go back there again.
I am one of many citizens of Shakedown, in the province of Deadlot, in the country of Grateful Dead Tour. I will forever long to go home.

and then PD said:
I posted this January 6, 2021. (The answer turned out to be: Nope.) Could it be that there is a sliver lining to this? Might this be the step-too-far that finally drives middle America away from the GOP? Could this be the beginning of the end, leaving the Republican party in shambles?

And then BP replied:
The Republican Party is dead. It only exists like the Vincent D'Onofrio character in Men In Black. It's just the skin of an actual political party wrapped around the alien bug inhabiting it.
When Trump goes away, will there be an organization left that bears any resemblance to the party of Eisenhower, or even Susan fucking Collins? I don't think so. When Trump goes away, what will be left will be a white supremacist criminal enterprise, a rotting, festering pile of garbage not even recognizable as a political party any longer.
Sadly, when that happens, the Democrats will still be writing strongly worded letters to demand accountability... 

BREAKING: The ENTIRE oil industry REJECTED Trump's stolen Venezuela oil. Trump is reportedly depressed, left alone to deal with his own mess.
American oil companies are openly refusing to pour money back into Venezuela’s shattered energy sector until they know the regime won’t seize assets again or threaten workers’ safety. API chief Mike Sommers put it bluntly: “There are going to have to be these key prerequisites if investment is going to flow.”
He said it is far too early to predict when companies will return because nothing about Venezuela’s legal framework guarantees that workers won’t be driven out or that infrastructure won’t be stolen all over again. Even industry leaders who have tolerated years of political games say the same thing: no reform, no investment.
And then came the split. Over the weekend, Donald Trump publicly suggested that ExxonMobil should be excluded from Venezuela entirely after its CEO said on Friday that the country is “uninvestible right now.” But Sommers insisted the ENITRE industry is united on one point: major structural change must happen before anyone goes back.
This is the hypocrisy we’ve seen again and again from Trump’s orbit. They attack companies for describing reality, then pretend they’re the responsible adults in the room.
The American people have watched enough authoritarian swagger dressed up as economic strategy. We’re done letting reckless strongman politics threaten workers, investors, and entire nations... for NOTHING.
Even the corporate oligarchs are realizing now Trump is just as big of an idiotic, reckless, double-digit-IQ failure.

While I loathe Donald Trump with every fiber of my being, I do love the fact that he’s proven that everything folks like myself have been saying about the Republican Party and the conservative movement has been absolutely spot-on all these years.
They’re not concerned with actual Christian values. It’s impossible to follow the true teachings of Jesus Christ while supporting Donald Trump. His behavior and the words of Christ are the antithesis of one another.
Obviously, they’re not small government. You can’t be an advocate for small government when you support a president who wants to rule as a dictator, has ordered the National Guard to patrol many of our nation’s streets, and believes he can abuse the power of the federal government to force states into doing what he wants.
That whole “Second Amendment guards against tyranny” bullshit was always just that — bullshit. You don’t get more tyrannical than the vice president of the United States saying that federal agents have immunity to do whatever they want.
And we don’t really need to go too deep into the “free trade capitalism” nonsense. Much like Trump’s behavior and the words of Christ, you give up any stance that you’re for “free market capitalism” when you back someone whose entire economic policy is based upon tariffs and raising consumer taxes on every American.
Respect for the military? Not even close. Not only did Trump lie about a bonus for most of the men and women serving this nation (while they were paid, he didn’t pay for it from tariff funds — he took money meant for affordable housing for the military and repurposed it so he could take credit for something), he’s routinely shown that he has no problem displaying zero respect for any veteran who speaks out against him. We’ve never had a president show the military more disrespect than this draft-dodger.
Don’t even make me laugh about their supposed “respect for the Constitution.” Donald Trump is, by far, the most unconstitutional president in this nation’s history — an individual the Founding Fathers literally designed our system of checks and balances and co-equal branches of government to protect against should someone like Trump get elected.
And while they talk a lot about “freedom of speech,” that’s total bullshit. You won’t find a more anti-free-speech president than Donald Trump. The only “free speech” he supports is that which supports him and his ideas. Anything to the contrary he wants canceled and silenced.
I’m not sure I really need to even discuss the party of “family values,” either. I think a twice-divorced individual who’s cheated on every single one of his wives and has five children with three different women pretty much speaks for itself as far as those “values” go.
Same goes for the whole “respect the rule of law” and “law and order” propaganda. This is someone who pardoned over 1,600 criminals, frequently attacks the judicial branch when they rule against him, has pushed conspiracies about the FBI, and has effectively turned the presidential pardon into a pay-for-play scheme where there’s growing evidence he’s selling them to whoever pays him enough for one. We’ve never had a president who’s so blatantly shown he couldn’t give a damn about any rule of law outside of what he thinks is or isn’t just and legal.
We’ve known for a while that the party of “fiscal responsibility” has been a laughable bunch of nonsense. They haven’t had a president from their party balance the budget since Dwight D. Eisenhower in the ’50s. Furthermore, not only has Trump added trillions to the nation’s debt — he’s added more than any other president in history.
Then there’s the bigotry and racism aspects we’ve all claimed the GOP has backed for decades. This is the party that was reinvented by what’s known as the “Southern Strategy” in the ’60s, where they targeted white resentment toward Black people who were being given more rights. Now we have a blatant racist in Stephen Miller serving in a very powerful position within our government — someone who, if you put a Nazi war uniform on him, would look right at home. There’s no debate that Miller is an absolute racist. Hell, the GOP has become such a pit of racism that Elon Musk recently shared a post that literally advocated for white supremacy, and it wasn’t even a major headline. That’s how much racism has become accepted within the conservative movement.
The list goes on and on.
For years, people like myself have called out the contradictions and hypocrisy on the right — a group of people who claim to stand for something when their actions tell an entirely different story.
All it took was the right kind of lowlife piece of garbage to put it all out there on full display.
And Donald J. Trump is the perfect lowlife piece of garbage who did just that.

STOP CALLING ME A PEDO PROTECTOR!!! THIS IS A TOTAL WITCH HUNT! NO PRESIDENT IN HISTORY HAS EVER BEEN TREATED SO UNFAIRLY!

Hungry children do not learn well... Lets Feed Children at School. Free Breakfast and Lunch. In a country as rich as the USA we ought to be able to feed our children. Restore food stamps too.

They find it difficult to pay attention to anything other than their hunger... Just like all humans... 

One of the most evil things that Trump has done is to cut food stamps. Millions of children were getting fed by that program. I understand that billionaires need more tax cuts... But there ought to be a way to tax the rich and feed the poor.

One overlooked failure of the Trump food stamp program is that the grocery stores that depended on food stamp sales closed... They went out of business... Laying off Clerks, stockers, truck drivers... Everybody loses... And the farmers lose too... Increasing tariffs make it impossible to sell crops overseas... Reducing food stamps means that they don't sell as much food... DUH... This is a case of totally idiotic Trump policy...

the vast increase of poverty in the USA was caused by trumps insane war with Iran... And Trump's insane tariffs... He has caused the USA to be dramatically worse...

Once I was riding the Bus in San Jose when a Teenage Man decided to Spray Paint his Gang "Tag" on the INSIDE of the Bus... This created a Horrible Paint Smell and Many of Us Got Off the Bus at the Next Stop. Including a Lady with a Baby... 

For Some Unknown Reason, He Felt the Spray Painted Gang "Tag" was More Important than the Health of His Fellow Passengers... Idiot... 

I Moved Away from San Jose to Chico and then Eureka... Both of those Towns are Almost All White People and Do Not Have a Lot of Graffiti... The Worst Place I've seen is on the Amtrak Train Ride Thru Oakland, CA...
