"This image depicts bright blue newly formed stars that are blowing a cavity in the centre of a fascinating star-forming region known as N90.
The high energy radiation blazing out from the hot young stars in N90 is eroding the outer portions of the nebula from the inside, as the diffuse outer reaches of the nebula prevent the energetic outflows from streaming away from the cluster directly. Because N90 is located far from the central body of the Small Magellanic Cloud, numerous background galaxies in this picture can be seen, delivering a grand backdrop for the stellar newcomers. The dust in the region gives these distant galaxies a reddish-brown tint." ~ esahubble.org/images/heic0702a

Grand Jury, Day 2: Historical Background
Alex Thomson, former officer of Britain’s Signal Intelligence Agency, GCHQ, the partner agency to NSA has just completed his statement.
Matthew Ehret, Senior Fellow of American University in Moscow, Editor-in-chief of Canadian Patriot dot org and BRI Expert of Tactical Talk dot net then makes his own short statement.
Pay attention to what Ehret says about traps patriots/freedom lovers may easily fall into, traps laid via propaganda.
No lockdowns.
Facemasks not required.
Vaccines not required.
2 metre space between people suggested.
Tragic deaths and patients ill with COVID-19 are in low numbers.

Why exactly did the Danes reject the proposed law?

Ended a debate between Senators Daniel Webster of Massachusetts and Robert Hayne of South Carolina.
Daniel Webster won the day, but with hindsight, modern citizens may side with Hayne.
Hayne re-enforced the idea of a confederation while Webster defended the idea of a federation.
In a confederacy the people may overcome tyrants quicker than in a federation, for in THAT condition, do the words of the Unites States constitution have TEETH. #AntiFederalistPaper9 http://resources.utulsa.edu/law/classes/rice/Constitutional/AntiFederalist/09.htm "We [the Aristocratic party of the United States,] do not much like that sturdy privilege of the people -- the right to demand the writ of habeas corpus. We have therefore reserved the power of refusing it in cases of rebellion, and you know we are the judges of what is rebellion...."
