Most American adults self-identify as Christians. But many Christians also hold what are sometimes characterized as “New Age” beliefs – including belief in reincarnation, astrology, psychics and the presence of spiritual energy in physical objects like mountains or trees. Many Americans who are religiously unaffiliated also have these beliefs. Overall, roughly six-in-ten American adults accept at least one of these New Age beliefs. Specifically, four-in-ten believe in psychics and that spiritual energy can be found in physical objects, while somewhat smaller shares express belief in reincarnation (33%) and astrology (29%)…

The latest in preserving human civilization was announced on Thursday: an encyclopedia of images and data stored in DNA and shipped to the moon in 2020. One of the alarming discoveries of the modern era is that data storage technologies, from VCR tapes to floppy disks, are becoming obsolete at an increasing clip. As the cost of genetic sequencing has decreased in the last two decades, some researchers have touted the DNA found inside living cells as the data storage material of the future. “DNA is very durable, and we want data storage that will last on the scale of millions of years,” Nova Spivack, venture capitalist and cofounder of the Arch Mission Foundation, told BuzzFeed News…

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò a few weeks ago released a shocking report that shows Pope Francis angling for political power on the world stage and using any means necessary to obtain it even if that meant using known Catholic pedophile and serial abuser Cardinal Theodore McCarrick to accomplish his goals. Pope Francis has remained silent throughout all this as he seeks to retain control of the Vatican corporation, but his base is crumbling and his grip on power grows more precarious by the day…

While denying the existence of the pre-Messiah astronomical Nibiru, astronomers have discovered yet another extremely distant, dwarf planet in a part of the solar system previously thought to be empty. The new planet is aptly named ‘the Goblin’ and its presence hints at another, much more massive, yet still unseen, Planet Nine.  Scientists have long surmised the existence of a planet beyond Pluto (which officially lost its planet status in 2006) in a region of space known as the Oort Cloud. The newly discovered Goblin is helping astronomers in their search for the yet-to-be-discovered Planet Nine. Scientists have observed that the Goblin is being influenced by the gravitational effects of some giant unseen astronomical body, leading them to believe in the existence of Planet Nine.

The U.S. government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been accused of trying to create a new class of biological weapons that would be delivered via virus-infected insects. The Insect Allies program is a research project that claims it will protect the U.S. agricultural food supply by delivering protective genes to plants via insects, which are responsible for the transmission of most plant viruses. Scientists say loading the bugs up with viruses that would offer plants protective benefits could be one way of ensuring food security in the event of a major threat. But in an editorial published in the journal Science, a group of researchers led by Richard Guy Reeves, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany, says Insect Allies isn’t exactly what it says it is. Instead, they claim DARPA is potentially developing insects as a means of delivering a “new class of biological weapon.”

Voters had given US President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans little credit for the strong economy. Meanwhile, Democratic candidates were awash with cash and progressive voters couldn’t wait to head to the polls to give Trump the middle finger. All were bad omens for Republicans – and not just for November, but the next presidential elections too. “This is a dry run for 2020 and we ain’t doing too swell,” Barna said. “Energy is not high among conservatives.” But that has now changed. Brett Kavanaugh’s battle for confirmation to the US Supreme Court has electrified the Republican base in a way that has startled even the most experienced players […] and the movie “The Trump Prophecy” (based on the best-selling book The Trump Prophecies), which tells the story of a retired firefighter who says God told him in 2011 that Trump would become president (has sparked a nationwide prayer movement for the country and nation’s leaders).
