Once In A Lifetime Sky Show, Strawberry Moon, Summer Solstice June 20, 2016

[From article]
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, a day falling around late June when there are approximately 17 hours of light.
In the northern hemisphere this means the days begin to get shorter.
The name comes from the Latin solstitium meaning “sun stands still”. It happens because the sun stops heading north at the Tropic of Cancer and then returns back southwards.
What is the Strawberry Moon?
It is a full moon, which occurs in June, named by early Native American tribes. It is a full moon like any other, but marks the beginning of the strawberry season. The two events coincide once every 70 years.
[. . .]

Why is the summer solstice significant?
The summer solstice is a special day for many as it means the start of the summer.
It has links to many ancient cultural practices as different cultures have celebrated it being symbolic of renewal, fertility and harvest.
Why is Stonehenge significant for the solstice?
Stonehenge in Wiltshire is the most popular place in the UK to celebrate the longest day because the prehistoric monument aligns to the solstices. The rising sun only reaches the middle of the stones one day of the year when it shines on the central alter.
But 2016 is a special year, because the solstice coincides with the Strawberry Moon, a once-in-a-lifetime occurence.

Shipwreck Yields Secret to First Computer 2,000 Years Ago

[Don't know when this feature will be rebroadcast. Check with local PBS schedule.]
Scientists decide it was Archimedes who invented the first computer with accurate ability to predict sun and moon eclipses. Prime numbers play a role. One more contribution from the ancient Greeks, though Archimedes lived in Syracuse in Sicily.

Super Blood Moon and Eclipse September 27, 2015

A perigee moon coincided with a full moon creating a "supermoon" when it passed by the earth at its closest point.

In the days leading up to the Blood Moon, a group with previous activity in my life re-joined the campaign. This was a visiting group from Europe. It is one tactic of the groups who employ non Americans, or Americans from foreign (i.e., not Massachusetts) jurisdictions for harassment. Does that suggest there are not enough criminals and psychopaths in Massachusetts, to conduct harassment of a 70-year-old white male, who they say is crazy? Surely there are sufficient white-hating black men who enjoy harassing an elder white male. Dontcha think?

As usual the new team brings along a psychologist, a lawyer, a police employee and an associate of an approved crime family. Like other groups, isolating me is extremely helpful and makes it easier to control my life. This newest group (actually an old group rejoining the campaign as I said) adds shunning to their effort. They declare that no homosexuals can be employed. For 45 years I've been surrounded by homosexuals, so they ensure none are around. The new (old) group can isolate me and say whatever they want as long as they say "He's crazy." so that no one pays any attention to me. No one knows me since only non homosexuals are employed keeping me surrounded by hateful and hostile people who take turns harassing me.

They bring homeless persons as bait, hoping I will accept them into my home to care for them. The new (old) team adds the element of the previous 45 years of character assassination which many groups used, "He's homeless." Do they ask Secretary of State John Kerry, or George Soros to take in  homeless persons? Hehe. This new group is working with, or on behalf of the California crime Syndicate and Communists from Washington state. Their profile included saying of me, "He's homeless and mentally ill." for the past 45 years. The rotation continues.

Psychologists are again employed by police associates of the various organizations -- police, crime families, FBI, etc. They begin as usual using young women as bait in order to try to discredit me further. But the fact remains political activity is being conducted on Harvard University's tax exempt property. The FBI always denies their egregious abuses over 45 years. In 1973 government psychiatrists drugged me using hallucinogens for 80 consecutive days contrary to law. They thought I was a spy. Then the FBI scared me, an impaired person at the time, and used me to fight organized crime for 15 years. They did not pay me or protect me. Later they coordinated 22 years of retaliation by the same crime families beginning in 1988.

They deny broadcasting for 35 years, a false profile saying about me "He's a retired drug dealer." They employed a homosexual black informant who was involved with surveillance beginning in 1968. The informant is married to the woman I dated for three months while I was in law school.  The one who adopted me in 1970 to join her in her playful organization. They were paid by the FBI to pretend to be my friends, while the FBI stirred up social, racial and political animosity among everyone I knew, know and met. They spread the false profile, in order to keep me isolated and dependent on them. It is a disgusting abuse of FBI power. It is a pattern developed by J. Edgar Hoover, who was called the arsonist and the fire chief.

Another round of criminal abuses by the same organizations. Only the individuals have changed. All of them seek money and to advance their careers by using and abusing me some more. I am now 70 years old. Many of these people were not born when it began. Knowing how citizens and government employees have been greatly dumbed down over the past 45 years, it is not surprising for so many people to be fooled. Most young people, i.e., under 35 think of two weeks ago as ancient history.

They do not believe the history of abuse, because of their limited information, and conformist personalities. Few people read. Fewer government employees read. Fewer still read books. Today's journalists are as ignorant as the rest of the society. They enjoy fooling their readers in order to advance their careers, pleasing politicians, who are mostly interested in promoting propaganda. They abuse the privileges of the psychiatry industry using it to scare people and to keep me and other individuals isolated. It is one more ongoing abuse of power by criminals who pretend to know the future and use their personal opinion, likes and dislikes and their limited knowledge to impose their misguided opinions on others. They destroy lives, careers, reputations and take freedom from innocent, harmless persons without due process. It is laughable, if not for the irreparable harm done in the name of good; if it was not so egregious and disgusting to watch.

And someone added more malware to my home computer. Not a good moon for me. It is beautiful to look at as some people are, who have evil hearts.

Blood moon paints the sky red: Stargazers around the world look to the heavens to witness lunar spectacle for first time in 33 years
During a lunar eclipse, the moon turns a deep rusty red, due to sunlight being scattered by the Earth's atmosphere
The rare celestial event coincided with the 'supermoon' being at its nearest point in its orbit around our planet
Some religious groups are convinced it is a sign that the End of Days is approaching
Last time a lunar eclipse shared a stage with supermoon was 1982 - and the next will be in 2033

[From article]
For the first time in decades, skygazers are in for the double spectacle Monday of a swollen "supermoon" bathed in the blood-red light of a total eclipse.
The celestial show, visible from the Americas, Europe, Africa, west Asia and the east Pacific, will be the result of the Sun, Earth and a larger-than-life, extra-bright Moon lining up for just over an hour from 0211 GMT.
"It will be quite exciting and especially dramatic," predicted astronomer Sam Lindsay of the Royal Astronomical Society in London.
"It'll be brighter than usual, bigger than usual."
The Moon will be at its closest orbital point to Earth, called perigee, while also in its brightest phase.

The resulting "supermoon" will look 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than when at apogee, 

[. . .]

Unusually, our planet will take position in a straight line between the Moon and the Sun, blotting out the direct sunlight that normally makes our satellite glow whitish-yellow.

[. . .]

For people younger than 33, this will be their first-ever chance to see a "super blood moon".
The last, only the fifth recorded since 1900, was in 1982, according to the NASA space agency, and the next will not be until 2033.
[. . .]
Monday's "blood moon" will be the last in a string of four total lunar eclipses since April 15, 2014, in a series astronomers call a tetrad.
These phenomena may be a normal part of the celestial calendar today, but for many ancient peoples it was an omen of bad things to come.
"Throughout history many cultures have seen (eclipses) as being a sign of gloom and doom," Petro said.
They weren't always wrong.

'Super blood moon' to give stargazers a rare show

[From article]
Get ready to be supermooned Sunday night.
For the first time in more than 30 years, we’ll be treated to a total lunar eclipse combined with a supermoon — a full moon occurring on the same day as its perigee, the point in its orbit when it’s nearest Earth.
The moon will appear 14 percent closer and 30 percent brighter than a full moon at apogee, when it’s farthest from Earth, according to NASA.
During the celestial wonder, Earth will pass between the sun and the moon, which will appear as an oversized orange orb — a so-called blood moon.
But some people are seeing the supermoon eclipse more as a sign of the apocalypse.
[. . .]
The fearless better get a look at Sunday night’s spectacle because the next super­moon lunar eclipse won’t occur until 2033.
The total eclipse will start at 10:11 p.m. and peak at 10:47 p.m.

Sturgeon Moon 2015 August 29, 2015

Supermoon From East Matunuck Beach RI 

@Ginger_Zee
8:17 PM - 29 Aug 2015

In the days leading up to the Sturgeon Moon of 2015, the teams that take turns harassing me went through some quick changes. First there was a team of police employees, Communists from Washington state, and associates of the California crime Syndicate. They continued their effort to try to make me into a homosexual and prevent me from interacting with heterosexual loving women. They limited for many years my interaction to man-hating feminists and lesbians, and control freak psychologists, psychiatrists, police and FBI informants. Often they are hateful and hostile homosexuals who like to pretend to be women.

They were replaced by a team of police from New York or New Jersey. They arrived with some new purchasers of personal journals that the FBI stole from me in 1973. They sold copies to local police and crime families who proceeded to humiliate me and ridicule me for the next 45 years. They usually share the journals with an unsuspecting young woman, or a knowing homosexual, who enjoys reading them. She/or he is recruited to make contact with me and engage me in conversation. After that period, with the passage of the first of three super moons, that team left the field.

They were immediately replaced by a team from unknown geographic area. They were new to the rotation, and first tried using a young woman as bait. When I did not go for it, her, they tried a young man. That indicates it is a new psychologist who does not know me at all. It is a frequent occurrence with teams brought in and told that I just arrived from the planet Alpha Centauri. They need to test me "to see what he does."

A new homosexual who apparently did not get any of the several memos that "He's not a homosexual." was/is an associate of the Kennedy cult. He tried a new approach of attempting to have me arrested or put into a hospital. He insulted me trying to provoke a criminal response online, with threats about guns and terrorist groups. It was obvious. His speech showed he was one of many wannabe psychologists.

There is a large group of otherwise unemployable young men who took jobs working in mental hospitals as guards, called technicians. They act as if they are therapists and talk with the inmates as if they were providing therapy. They bring their wishful thinking out into the real world and treat others as if they are mental patients. It is hilarious when they speak to you as if they are sane and that they think you are not.

David Rosehan described his graduate student experiment. His students were given an assignment to get themselves admitted to a mental hospital. They said they heard voices which was enough for admission. Everyone employed at the institution thought all the students were insane. The only exceptions were the inmates who knew something was up. It proved that sanity has no pathology and no rational standards.

But that does not prevent millions of police, politicians, lawyers and journalists from believing in psychiatry. It is one more example of what Henry Louis Mencken described as "The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind."

What is truly amazing is that all of the groups over the past 46 years, police, crime families, Communists, FBI informants, Harvard University campus police and building superintendents, performed the exact same pattern of harassment with minor flourishes added. Basic and unrelenting is sleep disturbances every one or two hours, and 24/7 surveillance. They are usually uneducated mercenary psychopaths who will do anything for money. Harassing a 70-year-old man. Provoking, insulting, ridiculing, humiliating, and relentless character assassination. No problem.



[From article]
Tonight the world has been able to observe a spectacular celestial phenomenon – the supermoon, also known as the Sturgeon Moon. It is the first of three consecutive “supermoons” occurring this year.
[. . .]
Such celestial phenomena are not rare – there were five supermoons in 2014, and there will be six in 2015. Three have already occurred – in January, February and March – one will be observed tonight, and two are still to come, in September and October.
[. . .]
Native Americans used to give every full moon a special name. For example, the full moon in August was often referred to as the Sturgeon Moon.
“The fishing tribes are given credit for the naming of this Moon, since sturgeon, a large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, were most readily caught during this month,” the Farmer’s Almanac website says.
The Year 2015 has done a lot to thrill social media with astronomical events of all kinds. In July the world witnessed a phenomenon dubbed the Blue Moon. However, it wasn’t really blue and looked like a regular full moon. The label Blue Moon is applied to the second full moon in a single month, which occurs very rarely, hence the expression – “once in a Blue Moon.”
Stargazers were treated to another cosmic spectacle in July when the two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, came so close to each other in the sky that they appeared to be a single, super bright star, which some astronomy-lovers claim resembled the biblical ‘Star of Bethlehem.’

Extraordinary Sky Show, Super Moon, Eclipse, Spring Equinox Same Day, Plus Space Storm This Week

[From article]

A Supermoon, or perigee moon, happens when the full or new moon does its closest fly-by of the Earth, making it look bigger than it normally does. And the spring equinox refers to the time of the year when the day and night are of equal duration, mid-way between the longest and shortest days.

The solar eclipse refers to a phenomenon where the sun and moon line up, so that the latter obscures the former. And while it won’t be affected by the two other events, it is rare that the three events happen even individually.

Solar eclipse, Supermoon, Spring equinox: Friday will see three rare celestial events

[From article]
The Space Weather Prediction Center says that the storm is from sun activity that started on March 15. Two magnetic eruptions occurred in quick succession. They combined into one larger eruption before intersecting the Earth's orbit on Tuesday.
The storm arrived earlier (10 a.m. EDT) and was stronger than predicted. The storm could last 24-36 hours.
It warned that there could be possible widespread voltage control problems at power systems and some protective systems could trip out key assets from the grid but that appeared to not be happening.
