The Sea Surface Temps are dramatically higher for 2026 - arriving in a mere 5 specific weeks.

Attributing this to El Niño is rather like declaring that your neighbor, found shot dead in his front yard, succumbed to a tragic case of bullet-itis—and concluding that no further investigation is warranted.

Only ECDO Theory provides an explanatory basis for this...

FIrst he tried to convince everyone that Charlie Kirk was shot by a drone. Now he wants you to believe Learjet N722BD was shot down by a counter UAS laser. The real question is, when did @I_Am_JohnCullen become a social engineer, chaos agent, and purveyor of disinformation?

Keith met Hector and Nelson for the first time at eleven this morning, in a field in Denbighshire, and the three animals who have carried this account for a year stood in the same grass and did not know they had done anything.

It happened because the parish council in Devon asked Dave to have Keith somewhere else for Bonfire Night, having found him on top of the bonfire a fortnight ago, and a farmer in Denbighshire who reads the account rang Dave and offered a spare paddock. The two men had never spoken. The biggest crossover in the history of this account was arranged in one phone call, by a man who wanted his village to light a fire in peace and a man who was curious.

I drove over with a question. The account passed 200,000 followers this week, and the allegation is that these three are the reason. I left the notebook in the car.

Dave backed the trailer up to the gate. Inside the field, a seventeen-hand Cavalry Black and a small grey donkey stood side by side at the far hedge and watched the ramp come down with the expression of two animals who have seen a trailer before and have not yet been impressed by one.

Keith came down it without being asked and stopped at the bottom. For the first time in his life there was a horse the size of a shed in front of him and a donkey a third his own size beside it, and he looked at both for about four seconds, with those rectangular eyes, the way he looks at a latch he has not solved yet.

Then he walked straight past them, and past the farmers, and past me, and put his nose on the field gate.

Me: Keith. The allegation is that you built this. Your tracker. Your neighbour's file. Your Reverend. The goat from two fields over you open gates for.

Keith: [lifted the latch]

The gate swung in, and Nelson was standing in it.

He had crossed the whole field to get there, and nobody saw him do it, which is how Nelson crosses fields. He put himself in the gateway with his chest across the gap, because in four years nothing has passed that gate without a donkey's say-so, and a goat from Devon was not going to be the first.

Me: Nelson. There is a woman in Harrogate whose husband says your name at parking tickets. A man who gets to his gate at seven for the first time since his operation. People write to tell me you taught them to stand still.

Nelson: [stood still]

Keith put his head down and pushed, gently, the way he tests a post, and the donkey set his feet and leaned into it and gave nothing.

A goat who has opened every gate in Devon, nose to nose in a three-foot gap with a donkey who has held every gateway in Wales. Neither raised his voice, because neither has one to raise. They stood there and were what they are, and waited to find out which of the two the world would turn out to be.

Hector arrived above the pair of them, at the pace of a very large animal pretending it had meant to come anyway, and put his head down between them to see what the fuss was.

Me: Hector. You stood for a nation while it wept. People tell me they watch you lie down in the sun and something in their own shoulders comes down with you. Do you accept responsibility?

Hector: [breathed on the goat]

The gate moved an inch in the wind. Hector went four feet sideways with his tail over his back, came back, and put his head over the donkey's spine to look at the goat from there, which is where he has looked at everything since the day a stranger produced a donkey from behind a trailer and the war horse found the one thing in Wales he would follow.

Me: Any of you. Does it reach you at all, what you have done for people?

Keith stepped back from the donkey, looked at the open gate and the lane beyond it, which he could have been through in two seconds, and then turned round, walked to the field shelter, went up the wall and onto the roof, and stood on the ridge looking at Wales.

Nelson walked out of the gateway and back to the hay.

Hector looked at the open gate, then at the donkey eating, and put his head down and grazed.

The Denbighshire farmer, who had said nothing for ten minutes, went and shut it.

Me, to the farmer: "I built a whole universe on these three."

Farmer: "Aye. They've not read it. That's why it works."

That was the only answer I got all day, and it is the right one. For a year the country has been told it is finished and its countryside is a crime, and 200,000 people have answered by leaning on a gate in Wales to watch a goat who cannot be governed, a donkey who cannot be hurried, and a horse who gave everything to strangers and is finally allowed to lie down, kept by men who were up at five and will be up at five tomorrow. None of it was put on for anybody. It is simply still there, in a field, this afternoon, which is the most reassuring thing I know about Britain and the whole reason I keep driving to gates.

Dave goes home tonight. Keith stays till Saturday. He has not come down. Nelson has not looked up. Hector has looked up at the goat on the roof eleven times by the farmer's count and has not yet decided whether it is a threat, which is the longest he has ever taken to decide anything, and the first time in four years he has had something to think about that was not the donkey.

A banana in a Polish January delivers summer’s deuterium without summer’s light.

The entire food web is tied to light cycles.

Summer at 52°N means long days, strong sunlight & carbohydrate availability from fruits, berries & honey.

By January, nothing is growing outside in Poland.

Deuterium is a big part of why that matters.

It is the heavy isotope of hydrogen, with one extra neutron that makes it twice as heavy.

Your mitochondria contain ATP synthase nanomotors spinning at roughly 9,000 rpm to produce ATP, driven by hydrogen ions flowing through them.

When deuterium reaches the motor in place of regular hydrogen, the extra mass disrupts its rotation & the motor stutters.

László Boros, a Hungarian medical doctor & retired UCLA professor who studies deuterium, compares it to giving a juggler a ball that is suddenly twice as heavy.

Carbohydrates carry the most deuterium, protein sits in the middle & animal fats carry the least:

Coconut water ~155 ppm.
Wheat flour ~150 ppm.
Banana ~149 ppm.
Potatoes ~142 ppm.
Beef ~138 ppm.
Butter ~124 ppm.
Beef fat ~121 ppm.

In summer, or closer to the equator, higher-deuterium foods arrive together with much stronger red & near-infrared light.

That light reduces the viscosity of interfacial water inside the mitochondrial matrix.

The nanomotors then rotate more freely & produce ATP more efficiently, even when dietary deuterium is higher.

At 52°N in winter, that photon pressure drops dramatically, & the food signal has to change with it.

So in winter, I eat fewer carbs, keep them local & shift more toward protein & fat.

I asked Grok to compare the two recent Lear jet crashes - aerodynamics of Lear 55 vs the 60 that just cashed
The Learjet 60 is essentially a stretched, more powerful, and aerodynamically refined evolution of the Learjet 55.⁠Wikipedia They share the same basic “Longhorn” wing planform (mildly swept, relatively high wing loading inherited from earlier Lear designs), T-tail configuration, and overall airframe lineage. The 60 is not a clean-sheet design. Key aerodynamic and related differences
From Learjet’s modifications when turning the 55 into the 60 (first flight 1990, certified 1993):Fuselage stretch: ~43 inches longer, mainly for more cabin volume and a proper full-width aft lavatory. This changed drag characteristics, which the aero package was designed to mitigate. ⁠Aopa
Inboard wing cuff: New inboard wing cuff on the Longhorn wing that increased local chord and added leading-edge droop. This improved low-speed handling on approach and landing and widened the margin between low- and high-speed buffet.⁠Wikipedia
Wing-to-body fairing: Completely redesigned fairing to reduce interference drag between the wing and fuselage.
Ogive/ogee winglet trailing edge: Lengthened chord at the winglet-wing junction to better manage the pressure spikes of the wing and winglet. This cut interference drag that had largely canceled the benefit of the winglets on the earlier Longhorn design and improved overall wing efficiency.
Delta fins: The single ventral fin was replaced by two smaller “Delta Fins” under the rear fuselage. These improved stall behavior and directional/yaw stability (addressing issues that had long affected Learjets) and helped reduce deep-stall risk.⁠Aopa
Net result of the aero package (plus more fuel capacity): roughly 4% lower cruise drag, better fuel efficiency, stronger high-altitude thrust, improved climb (e.g., FL410 in ~18 minutes), and better range (~2,400 nm class vs the 55’s lower figures) while using more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines (~4,600 lb thrust) instead of the 55’s Garrett TFE731-3 series (~3,700 lb).⁠AviationweekBoth remain classic high-wing-loading Lears: strong climbers when light, but with relatively tight high-Mach buffet margins and the characteristic need for careful speed control on approach (they don’t float much).Context of the two crashes
Philadelphia (Jan 31, 2025): Learjet 55 (Jet Rescue Air Ambulance medevac). Crashed at low altitude shortly after takeoff from Northeast Philadelphia Airport into a dense residential/commercial area near Roosevelt Mall. Steep dive; NTSB investigation ongoing (cockpit voice recorder had not been recording for years).⁠CNN
Palm Beach County, Florida (Nov 1, 2026): Learjet 60 (N722BD, private flight Austin → Bahamas). High-altitude cruise with reports of icing and turbulence, then a very rapid high-speed descent (tens of thousands of feet per minute) into a residential area near Greenacres/Military Trail. All 9 aboard killed. NTSB has noted evidence of some in-flight breakup (including possible elevator/horizontal stabilizer separation prior to impact); investigation is early.⁠Wikipedia
The aero differences above are design improvements for efficiency, low-speed handling, and stability—not features that inherently explain either accident. Causes remain under investigation in both cases. High wing loading and the family’s historical handling traits are shared characteristics, but the specific sequences (low-altitude loss of control vs high-altitude upset + possible structural issues) differ.

@RabbiJeffx @grok So Israel is going to attack America with a chemical weapon

[Crowdsource The Truth @JG_CSTT]

Did a mach tuck cause the Learjet 60 crash in Palm Beach Florida? The horizontal stabilizer may have been lost in flight according to early NTSB reports and video evidence of the disaster.

[Crowdsource The Truth @JG_CSTT]

Videos of the Florida Learjet crash claiming to be "slow motion" are not that. They’re 30fps dashcam video slowed down and can’t show what the camera never recorded. It caught the jet in just 3 frames. To show what may have happened on impact, I made a 3D simulation at 1,000fps.

Thanks again to @JohnGordonTV for an excellent explanation of the facts and details about the Palm Beach Learjet crash from a pilot's perspective.
