The nighttime sky across the Northern Hemisphere was flooded with bright colors on Tuesday, as a brilliant display of the aurora borealis dipped farther south than usual.
The appearance of the northern lights follows several episodes of solar activity, including what is thought to be one of the strongest solar storms since 2013, according to the Associated Press. ~accuweather.com/en/features/trend/photos_colorful_aurora_northern_lights_borealis_australis/44108162

Ok, posting just under the wire today. Here's another snipet from "Witch's Moon." The first two paragraphs of this bit particularly amuse me!

Snipet:

“How did you find me?” I asked a half hour later. We were scoping out the sugar factory, checking to see if the site really was abandoned and therefor safe to inspect. It was a nice neutral question, touching on none of the icky emotional sap that had been hovering just out of sight since our conversation a bit ago.
“Juniper bushes don’t usually go wandering around,” Mooney answered dryly, not taking the binoculars from his eyes. I clamped down on the urge to slap myself in the forehead. Yeah, kind of didn’t think about that.

MYSTERIOUS FLASH IN RUSSIA 'NEWS' ~

Mysterious flash lightens night sky in south Russia (VIDEO)
An inexplicable white-and-blue flash was spotted lighting up the sky over the southern Russian city of Stavropol. A dashcam video has since triggered a heated debate over the origins of the mysterious sight.
Stavropol’s horizon offered a jaw-dropping view to those who weren’t asleep at around 00:39 local time (21.39 GMT on Monday). The soundless flash of light scared several people, as it made some streetlights in the city go out, while being accompanied by the flickering of lights inside apartments and houses.  ~rt.com/news/241629-russia-ufo-flash-light

BEWARE THE TROJAN HORSE DRILL 'NEWS' ~

THE JADE HELM 15 DRILL IS A MARTIAL LAW, CIVIL WAR and 'RED LIST' EXTRACTION DRILL
From July 15th to September 15th, 2015, the U.S. Army Special Operations Command is conducting a massive military drill in an area covering the entire American   Southwest. At first glance, I thought this drill was a response to the massive military drills being conducted by Russia. I wrongly assumed that Jade Helm 15 was a drill designed to protect the Southwest from an invasion by Russian-backed Latin American military forces (i.e. Red Dawn). However, after reading the operational plan of Jade Helm, it is clear that this drill is about the brutal martial subjugation of the people of Texas, Utah and Southern California who have risen up against some unspecified tyranny. Further, this drill is also about martial law being used as a preventative measure in states which “might” lean towards civil war against the United States government (i.e. California, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico).
The operational elements and impact of Jade Helm 15 cannot be considered in isolation. A careful analysis reveals how this drill is connected to Army policies associated with the confinement of detainees in what is commonly called FEMA camps! This drill is undoubtedly the most frightening thing to occur on American soil since the Civil War. ~thecommonsenseshow.com/2015/03/18/the-jade-helm-15-drill-is-a-martial-law-civil-war-and-red-list-extraction-drill~

MCDONALD'S ... NOT LOVIN' IT 'NEWS' ~

McDonald’s Assaults Reporter Asking About McNugget Ingredients
7 police officers called in response
by Anthony Gucciardi
Posted on March 17, 2015
What does it take to get physically removed from McDonald’s? Apparently, as I found out, all it takes is to ask one of their employees about what’s actually inside their McNuggets. It even resulted in a whopping 7 police officers at the scene to ‘escort’ me off their property. All for asking about the McNuggets (which I was never able to purchase).
We all know that McDonald’s has been losing money for quite some time, with February being yet another losing month. Even Monsanto is losing the markets. So what is a fast food titan to do? Ultimately, they have begun to push into the ‘younger, fresher’ markets with a new ‘natural’ perspective on their food. That’s why they recently announced a move to remove ‘some’ of the antibiotics from their chicken.
But they aren’t too vocal about the medley of other toxic substances in their food, from GMOs to plastic chemicals. Watch as they throw me out after asking about their McNuggets below in a video collaboration with the Infowars team:
Here are just some of the ingredients found in fast food items:
    Dimethylpolysiloxane – A chemical known for its use in silicone breast implants, silly putty, and also… chicken nuggets
    Propylene glycol – A laxative chemical and electronic cigarette filler that even e-cigarette companies are beginning to phase out
    Azodicarbonamide – A chemical used in the creation of foamed plastic items like yoga mats

RT - The finance ministries of France and Germany have confirmed they’ll join China’s new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), and Italy is expected to soon. Joining the rival to the US-led World Bank is seen as a setback for the Obama administration. ... The new China-led bank is expected to challenge the Washington-based World Bank, so the US is increasing pressure on its allies not to join the institution. The US’ concern is that the new investment bank might not have high standards of governance and environmental and social safeguards. The new bank is expected to challenge the Western dominance of the US-led World Bank and IMF in global infrastructure projects, which experts believe will create healthy competition.
