SOLAR ACTIVITY ALERT: 
The odds of an Earth-directed solar flare are increasing as sunspot 4436 turns toward our planet. On May 10th (1339 UTC), the active region produced an M5.7-class solar flare, which blew a massive hole in the sun’s atmosphere: SOHO coronagraphs are tracking the emerging CME. It appears to be heading for a near miss, passing by Earth on May 13th, according to a NASA model. Ripples of interplanetary gas spreading from the CME’s path like the wake of a passing speedboat could touch Earth’s magnetosphere and cause geomagnetic unrest around the poles

Spy leak raises questions: Should Putin be afraid of assassination or a coup?
Putin’s fear of being assassinated by a drone or overthrown by coup plotters is growing, at least according to leaked intelligence. Analysts see cracks and some grains of truth to it. They also wonder why it is being leaked now.

It says that security around Vladimir Putin has been tightened considerably since the turn of the year.

Hantavirus: The fear machine is starting again; this time, you should recognise it, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny says
Corporate media is creating fear around a hantavirus outbreak, following a familiar pattern of creating fear before providing context, similar to previous “outbreaks” like covid, monkeypox (MPOX) and bird flu. The images, the language and the emotional conditioning are familiar because we have seen this exact pattern before. It always begins the same way: create fear first, provide context later, and by the time the facts catch up, the public has already been pushed into a state of panic and vaccinated. It seems every 2 years we get a new viral scare from the media, as the very expensive and intrusive Biosecurity Agenda gets built out. Remember this?: 2020: Covid 2022: Monkeypox 2024: Bird Flu 2026: Hantavirus.

At the time, the IDF called the strike “one of the most significant strikes carried out by the IDF since the start of Operation Roaring Lion.”

Wednesday’s primary debates had these villains on florid display. Because LA’s ranked-choice mayoral primary race styles itself “non-partisan,” candidate Spencer Pratt (a registered Republican) was on-hand for the debate. When the subject of LA’s cataclysmic homelessness came up, drug addicts living (if you can call it that) in wretched, filthy encampments all over the public space of the city, Mayor Bass bragged that she’d significantly reduced the problem, which is obviously and mendaciously untrue. LA City Council member Nithya Raman, who labels herself “progressive,” bragged on putting the homeless into shelters (i.e., motel rooms at $100-K per person per year. The DEA [Drug Enforcement Agency] statistic says 93-percent of this is a drug addiction problem. These people do not want a bed — they want fentanyl or super meth.”

WHO Inexplicably, Immediately Releases All Passengers on Hantavirus Cruise Ship Without Quarantine
You have an (alleged) outbreak on a cruise ship currently at sea of a highly lethal virus with a reported kill rate of 40%, as opposed to less than one percent for COVID · Said virus has an incubation period of 7-39 days, meaning an infected individual could walk around symptom-free for the better part of a month and a half without exhibiting any outward signs.

Frontier Jet Hits Person On Takeoff, Engine Erupts In Flames At Denver
Frontier 4345 (pilot): Alright, 4345 we have 231 souls on board. We have 21,320 pounds of fuel onboard. There was an individual walking across the runway. In our view, a commercial jet at a major international airport does not simply “hit someone” on an active runway during takeoff, particularly near the point of rotation. This suggests a potentially serious breakdown in perimeter, airfield, or runway security controls. … investigators will need to determine how the person accessed the active runway, whether DEN’s perimeter controls failed, and whether the individual was struck by the aircraft and drawn into the engine or simply jumped into the turbine intake.
