Remember to see the "per-seeds" (pronounced /per-see-ids/) through the dark night of the new (missing) moon, a fireball Perseid meteor shower, as earth passes through the debris field of Comet Swift-Tuttle, and an alignment of six planets: Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There's a total solar eclipse, the first in 27 years for Europe, over Greenland (technically part of Denmark), Iceland, and Spain -- a shadow going in the wrong direction if the Earth were spinning from west (Greenland) to Spain (east). It will be visible to millions on Earth. Will the world end? - YES, but not tomorrow.
Nearly 2 1⁄2 years after space enthusiasts on Earth last saw a total solar eclipse, another is on its way, allowing U.S. viewers to see a partial glimpse of the phenomenon, with other parts of the world like Spain seeing totality.
This year’s eclipse falls on the morning of Aug. 12, 2026, allowing people across most of Europe and in northwestern Africa to see the moon something (possibly Rahu) cover or "eclipse" most of the sun.
For most people, including those in the United States, the moon will not completely block the sun, making this year’s eclipse partial, according to NASA's website.
The lucky people in the USA able to view the partial solar eclipse this year include those from Alaska to North Carolina. People in [the small capital country of] Washington, DC [the ruling district of the larger country's original imperial-colonial name, Columbia], will also be able to see it.
In Alaska, the eclipse will happen in the morning, while those in the northern U.S. will be able to see it between midday and midafternoon, NASA said. People near the center of the eclipse path in Greenland, Russia or the North Atlantic will experience the eclipse for a slightly longer period; most people will see the sun eclipsed for less than two minutes, according to NASA.

U Dhammaloka (Burmese α¦းαα္ααောα) lived from 1856–1914. He was an Irish-born migrant worker [1] who became a Theravada Buddhist monk.
He was a strong critic of Christian missionaries and a temperance campaigner who took an active role in the Asian Buddhist revival around the turn of the 20th century.
Venerable Dhammaloka (because "U," pronounced ooh, is not a name or initial but a Burmese honorific) was ordained in Burma prior to 1900, making him the earliest attested Western Buddhist monk in modern times.
He was a celebrity preacher, vigorous polemicist, and prolific editor in Burma and Singapore between 1900 and his conviction for sedition and appeal in 1910–1911.
Drawing on Western atheist (freethinking) writings, he publicly challenged the role of Christian missionaries and resisted attempts by the colonial government to charge him for sedition. More
Sammy K. Obeid (born Feb. 9, 1984) is a Palestinian-American [1, 2, 3], writer, and stand-up comedian. He has released one comedy album, Get Funny or Die Tryin. The New York Times described his comedy as displaying "an analytic style full of wordplay, clever misdirection, and ethnic humor riffing on his Middle Eastern roots" [4].
He once performed 1,001 nights of comedy in a row (just like the classic of world literature One Thousand and One Nights), which he claimed was a world record [7]. Obeid is also a host for the Netflix show 100 Humans and the founder of KO Comedy (IG) [8]. More
(The Daily Show) Did a secret "Stargate" in Iran cause Trump-Israel's war? What is Stargate 10?
The world has settled all its differences, and peace has broken out. But just when we were on the verge of celebrating a thousand years of sanity to come, Spain declares war on Argentina, threatening to rub their faces in the grass and to break Messi's body if necessary. Will Argentina, minus its Falkland Islands, put up with European imperialism, colonialism, and exploitation? It can only be decided on the field of mock battle before the audience of the world. And here we sit in the most cross-cultural city in the [Evil] Empire, Los Angeles, waiting to be amused, entertained, and delighted. RESULT: Having declared war on a European colony in the "New World," colonia powerhouse Spain beat the Latin upstart by the slightest margin possible, plunging the Americas into a funk and the EU into ecstatics.

While the soccer World Cup is being played in France, two young Tibetan refugees arrive at a monastery (lamasery) boarding school in exile in India. Its atmosphere of serene contemplation is somewhat disrupted by soccer fever, the chief instigator being a young student, the soccer(association football) fanatic Orgyen. Prevented by various circumstances from seeing The Cup finals on television in a nearby village, Orgyen sets out to organize the rental of a TV set for the Buddhist monastery. All the quiet contemplatives become loud sports enthusiasts instead, whose behavior borders on worldly hooliganism.

Mind you, ancient Mexicans are the same people who gave the world chocolate or xocolatl (bitter cocoa water), which they called Theobroma cacao, "The food of the gods." Who were these celestial visitors or "gods," who pointed out the potent nutritional seeds and delicious flavor of the cacao fruit?
The first chocolate drink is believed to have been created at least 5,300 years ago, starting with the Mayo-Chinchipe culture in what is present-day Ecuador [3] and later consumed by the Maya around 2,500–3,000 years ago. A cocoa drink was an essential part of Mexico's Aztec culture by 1400 AD [4]. The drink was introduced by Mexico (New World) and became popular in Europe has undergone changes since. Until the 19th century, hot chocolate was used medicinally to treat ailments such as liver and stomach diseases. More
Amaranth (family Amaranthaceae) delivers complete protein, survives drought, and for centuries fed 20+ million people. Then in 1519, Spanish Conquistadors made growing it punishable by death in Mexico (Mesoamerica) and the Americas.
Amaranth contains 13-14% complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids, one of the very few vegan plant sources of a complete protein, along with quinoa.
Amaranth produces more usable protein per acre than cattle grazing and thrives in conditions where wheat dies.
The Aztecs mixed it with honey to create tzoalli—sacred dough shaped into gods, worshipped, and eaten for supreme nourishment.
To the European Spanish invaders, this was demonic and cannibalistic. To modern agriculture, it's a threat.

Heirloom seeds: DNA treasure
By 1970, amaranth had nearly gone extinct. Today it is sold as a $30-a-pound (lb) superfood in health food stores while wheat and corn—both harmful and incomplete proteins—dominate 90% of global grain production.
The amaranth ban ended, but the seed companies never brought it back. This is the story of how religion, colonial conquest, and industrial agriculture buried the most nutritious grain in the Americas.

The reincarnated Lama: The true story that defies logic
(Lei's Looking Glass) Nov. 27, 2025: Some stories challenge everything we think we know about life, death, and what comes after. Across Tibet and beyond, for over a thousand years, people have reported children who remember past lives, masters who choose their next rebirth, and signs that seem too specific to ignore. This episode explores one of the most astonishing cases in modern times — and the ancient system behind it. Whether you're skeptical or simply curious, this journey into reincarnation, destiny, and the mysteries of the human mind will stay with you long after the story ends. #reincarnation#leislookingglass
According to Antonio Pigafetta [7], one of the Ferdinand Magellan expedition's few survivors and its published chronicler, Magellan bestowed the name PatagΓ£o (or PatagΓ³n) on the GIANT inhabitants they encountered there.
Although Pigafetta's account does not describe how this name came about, subsequent popular interpretations gave credence to a derivation meaning "land of the big feet."
However, this etymology is questionable. The term might be derived from an actual character name, "PatagΓ³n," a savage creature confronted by PrimaleΓ³n of Greece, the hero in the homonymous Spanish chivalry novel (knight-errantry tale) by Francisco VΓ‘zquez [63].
This book, published in 1512, was the sequel of the romance PalmerΓn de Oliva; it was much in vogue at the time and a favorite reading of Magellan.
Magellan's perception of the natives, dressed in skins and eating raw meat, may have recalled the uncivilized PatagΓ³n in VΓ‘zquez's book.
European meets American giants
Novelist and travel writer Bruce Chatwin suggests etymological roots of both Patagon and Patagonia in his book, In Patagonia[64], noting a tenuous similarity between "Patagon" and the Greek word ΟΞ±ΟΞ±Ξ³ΞΏΟ, which means "a roaring" or "gnashing of teeth."
(In his chronicle, Pigafetta describes the Patagonians as "roaring like bulls"). More

Super Zionist Jew
(The Jewish Heritage Project) Sept. 8, 2019: Earl Tucker explains how it may be that Christopher Columbus (Chris CohenColΓ³n) was actually a secret Jew. The 1492 expulsion from Spain took place during the time of the Jewish Tisha B'Av. This is an amazing talk using the reliable methods of the modern social sciences, statistics, and a curious number (29 variables) of "coincidences"!
CristΓ³bal ColΓ³n is his Spanish language (Latin, Italian) name for the Italian Jewish (Converso) explorer Christopher Columbus (1451–1506)
Stolen symbol bathed in blood
The great car manufacturer Henry Ford, a famous antisemite, wrote The International Jew. But Columbus' own hand suggests how Jewish he was: "On the day the Jews were expelled from Spain, I set out for the New World" (quoted from the journal of his trip to "America"). The new DNA evidence shows his Jewish ancestry, likely forced to convert to Catholicism, a Marrano, a Crypto-Jew, not a real convert.
In 2006, Dr. Frank C. Arnett, MD, and historian Charles Merrill, published a paper in The American Journal of the Medical Sciences proposing that Christopher Columbus had an illness and in the same scientific, peer-reviewed paper, historian Merrill made the case that Columbus was the son of Catalans and his mother possibly a member of a prominent converso (converted Jew) family [213].

Prominent Jews do so much for the Deep State
Those Jews targeted and forced by the Spanish Crown had no choice but to convert to Catholicism/Christianity. They had to either leave the Kingdom of Spain, while the Crown seized their property and money and gave them no support to leave, or be murdered either for not showing complete loyalty to Christianity or for leaving Spain and coming back showing that they were traitors to the Spanish Crown [3][4].
