Scientists baffled after UK satellite ends up 1,000s of miles away - no one knows why

 Scientists baffled after UK satellite ends up 1,000s of miles away - no one knows why

Launched in 1969, just a few months after humans first set foot on the Moon, Skynet-1A was put high above Africa's east coast to relay communications for British forces. The spacecraft stopped working years ago, and conventional wisdom would suggest that the Earth's gravitational pull would move it eastwards over the Indian Ocean, but the opposite has happened. The satellite is now halfway around the world above the Americas, baffling scientists who insist that orbital mechanics mean it is unlikely that the half-tonne spacecraft would have simply drifted to its current position. This leads to the conclusion that it was intentionally moved, but nobody can say who would want or be able to do such a thing.

A 10-year-old girl earned over $2,000 selling chickens, but the family says the bank kept her earnings.

After selling enough chickens to raise a few thousand dollars, Kinley Maner’s family says the bank is holding onto her earnings. Living a rural life in Thatcher, three hours southeast of Phoenix, Kinley started raising chickens to sell at the county fair. In the end, Kinley’s six chickens sold for an impressive $2,100. The treasurer of the Small Stock Association issued a check to Kinley, which was electronically deposited into her mother Kalli Maner’s account at Chase Bank. However, Kinley’s check was frozen, leaving her without the $2,100. Source    THATCHER, Ariz. (KPHO/Gray News)

Israeli soccer hooligans went to Amsterdam to celebrate the genocide in Gaza and got their asses kicked instead

Image
It all started when fans of the Israeli soccer team Maccabi Tel Aviv staged a pro-Israel demonstration at Dam Square in central Amsterdam, Netherlands, lighting flares and chanting slogans ahead of the UEFA Europa League match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and local team Ajax on Nov. 7, 2024. The fans were chanting, “Death to the Arabs,” and, “There are no schools in Gaza. There are no children,” then they attacked a taxi driver and set his taxi on fire. How could you defend such thugs? After the game, pro-Palestinian fans, many of whom are Moroccans, clashed with the Israeli hooligans and taught them a lesson they will never forget, which was recorded in video cameras. Israeli soccer fans were begging their attackers. In one incident, an Israeli fan was heard begging, “I will give you all my money. The man who was beating him said, “I do not want your money, mother f*cker.” He then forced the Israeli fan to say, “Free Palestine twice.” Another Israeli fan jumped into the Canal to avoid get

Trust evaporates, leading to the collapse of traditional media. Mainstream media's credibility took another hit with their "too close to call" election drama. They wanted us to believe the election was too close to call and that a result might not be known for months. More trust flushed away in an already sinking ship!
