Oh, Canada?
And now. . . Mark Carney! He’s a beauty. A refined ectoplasmic manifestation of all the Globalist huggermugger working tirelessly to upend Western Civ. He has a weird glow of semi-transparency – not in the sense of revealing any truths, but more like you can partly see through him . . . he’s only half there . . . a ghost in the geopolitical machine. More to the point, Mark Carney has made himself a pain-in-the-ass for President Donald Trump. On the surface, this US / Canada rift appears to be all about trade relations. Naw. It’s about Mark Carney being a tool for merry old England attempting to capture the resource base of northern North America to collateralize what little remains of the UK’s once-sprawling, now sinking, empire.

New scans push Turkey’s Noah’s Ark formation closer to proof
A boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey has produced its most detailed underground readings in decades. Ground-penetrating radar equipment brought from the United States has detected multiple anomalies beneath the Durupinar formation in Ağrı province, including cavities and structures that intersect at right angles across several underground levels. Soil samples pulled from inside the formation have also shown carbon levels roughly 40 percent higher than samples taken outside it. Researchers say the combined data are pushing them toward answers that six decades of speculation have failed to produce. The Sages treated the Genesis flood narrative as a record of real geography, not allegory, and the text itself supports that reading. After the water receded, “And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat” “Already the current data daily raise[s] the probability that Noah’s Ark is here.” “These are the actual images of the Noah’s Ark,” Sertesen told the Hurriyet Daily News. “They are neither fake nor simulation. They show the entire ship buried underground.”
