Image

The British government has locked down much of the country. According to reports, the new strain which scientists has labelled B.1.1.7, has over 20 mutations from the prevailing strain of the virus, and seems to be more contagious and tend to spread more quickly.

US cyberattack: Russia 'clearly' behind SolarWinds hack, says Pompeo but Trump points to China

Image
  US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Russia as the mastermind behind what is considered the worst cyber attack on the United States government.   On December 13, 2020, The Washington Post reported that multiple government agencies were breached through SolarWinds's Orion software. Pompeo is the first official to publicly link Russia and has described what happened as a massive campaign of "serious and continuous" cyber espionage against the US government. According to Pompeo, within a few months, Russia allegedly entered several US government agencies and private firms, in addition to companies and governments around the world. "There was a significant effort to use a piece of third-party software to essentially embed code inside US government systems,"  Pompeo said.  "We can say pretty clearly that it was the Russians that engaged in this activity,"  he added. Asked about the criticism, Pompeo suggested that Trump had maintained his silence so ...

Bill Gates on CNN: The next four to six months could be the worst of the pandemic

Image
Bill Gates   Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has predicted in an interview with CNN that the worst months of the Covid-19 pandemic are yet to come. Bill Gates, the coronavirus oracle whose foundation actively helped millions of dollars to find a vaccine against COVID-19, warned in an interview on CNN that  "sadly, the next four to six months could be the worst in the pandemic. The IHME (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation) forecast shows more than 200,000 additional deaths. If we followed the rules, in terms of wearing masks and not mixing with other people, we could avoid a large percentage of those deaths." Bill Gates acknowledges his 2015 prediction fell short About his 2015 prediction of a pandemic, Bill Gates acknowledged that  "in general, when I made the forecasts in 2015, I talked about the deaths could be higher. So this virus could be more fatal than it is. We did not get the worst but what has surprised me is that the economic impact in the US and arou...

'Great conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn will form a 'Christmas Star' on the winter solstice

Image
Jupiter and Saturn are preparing to give us one of the greatest astronomical spectacles of this year 2020: a great planetary conjunction. Every day they are closer and closer and will reach their closest approach on December 21, 2020.  Distinguishing them is very simple, since Jupiter is the brightest star in the night sky (behind the Moon) and, next to it, a little further to the left, you can see Saturn, a little less bright. While this meeting happens every 20 years or so, in 2020, the planets will be closer together than they have been since 1623. But that year, the alignment was too close to the sun to view from Earth. The last time humans were able to see a great conjunction this close was in 1226, well before telescopes were invented. They say the celestial show that humanity hasn’t seen in nearly 800 years, will look like what they call the "Christmas Star" on the winter solstice itself. It is an event that can be seen with the naked eye and that will be very striking...

Image
Haim Eshed, 87, the former head of the Israeli space security, was interviewed by the media recently and broke out surprising words. In his interview with the newspaper 'Yediot Aharonot', he assures that aliens are real and the existence of a "Galactic Federation."  He also revealed that Israel and the US have both been dealing with aliens for years and US President Donald Trump, knows their existence.   He also pointed out that aliens and the US government have an underground base in Mars and the two parties have also signed an agreement privately to ensure confidentiality. This remark has triggered discussion, and some media have even more bluntly said that "he may be insane." According to comprehensive foreign media reports, Eshed said the aliens were worried that humans would not be able to accept their existence, and therefore hoped that the US government would keep the matter secret. Regarding Donald Trump's knowledge of the existence of aliens, Es...

Image
BTS South Korea’s National Assembly passed a bill on December 1, allowing top K-pop stars such as BTS to delay enlistment until the age of 30. In South Korea, they implement a compulsory military service system, and all men who meet the requirements must enter the military for about 20 months between the ages of 18 and 28. However, after this amendment to the law, some pop stars who have received cultural medals can postpone their enlistment after being recommended by the Minister of Culture. Prior to this amendment, only well-known athletes or classical musicians in Korea could be exempted or postponed to join the army. The revised "Military Service Law" stated that if an artist in the field of popular culture "recommended by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, who has made outstanding contributions to the promotion of Korea's image both domestically and internationally", the latest age for enlistment can be postponed to 30 years old.
