Scientific Study of ET Contact and the Paranormal?

I only listened to this 'Skeptiko' talk with Rey Hernandez because I noticed a few numbers that brought a smile to my face in a Trickster synchronistic sense.

For one, I noticed that the 'Skepitko' opening video at the You Tube channel had 424 views (my late father's old yellow cab number for those who haven't been reading my blog) and I had just written a post the other day about Wolfgang Pauli's morbid fascination with the number 137 and Jake Kotze being on episode #137 of the '42 Minutes' podcast and also noticed that the latest Skeptiko podcast went for 1:37 minutes -

42 Minutes Podcast Episode 137: Jake Kotze TRUTH/HURT?

I also noticed that the 'Skeptiko' episode was #412 and Jake Kotze really likes the combination of those numbers, because Jake associates those numbers with the planet Jupiter and Joy.

From Sibyl Hunter's chapter of 'The Sync Book'

Interesting talk, but I don't really care about the UFO/alien stuff to be honest.
I've never seen an alien or UFO ... that I can remember anyway.
The paranormal stuff does interest me though, so it will be interesting to see how Rey goes in his pursuit of the HURT TRUTH;-)

UPDATE: June 8th, 2019

On the subject of truth here (above) is a more recent interview with Rey on the 'Truth Be Told' podcast show.

2019: The Year of the African Swine Fever?

China struggles to contain African swine fever, resorts to mass live-pig burials, millions of culls
"African swine fever (ASF) does not affect humans, but can cause up to 100 per cent mortality in herds of wild and domestic pigs within a week.
Pigs mainly contract the virus through the consumption of contaminated pork products and feed.
A particularly virulent strain has spread to more than 55 countries on three continents, affecting more than 77 per cent of the world's swine population, according to veterinary scientists.

The spread has been driven by migrating wild populations and human movement of contaminated pork products that harbour the virus for as long as six months."

Ironically, this year is the 24th year anniversary of the movie 'Babe', which was released in 1995, which was also the 'Year of the Pig'.

The Year of the Pig Brain?

Burning Man?

Robert Mueller resigns as special counsel, addresses Russia report
"Special counsel Robert Mueller has just thrown fire on the simmering Trump-Russia investigation, finally breaking his silence."

Man sets himself on fire outside the White House
"Moments after he set himself ablaze police officers arrived on the scene and sprayed the man with fire extinguishers.
He was arrested and taken to hospital with burns to 85 per cent of his body and “life-threatening” injuries, according to reports.
“I can confirm that we’ve transported one patient with burns from the Ellipse and we’re now on the scene assisting law enforcement,” a spokesman for the Washington Fire Department said.
The incident took place shortly after noon on the Ellipse — south of the president’s residence — near 15th Street and Constitution Avenue, the Secret Service said on Twitter."

2019 Art Theme: Metamorphoses

I couldn't help thinking that 'Burning Man' is just around the metaphorical corner in 2019 as well, so I thought I would check out some of the upcoming artwork attractions for this year at the 'Burning Man' website;-)

Is the Trump Presidency About to Croak?

The elephants in the room?-)

The nine lives of Donald Trump?

More Russian spin?

There is something rather nostalgic about that swing-set to the child in me, but I can't see it being bought for 91.1 million dollars like the "Money Bunny" of Jeff Koons for some reason -

Bunny Money?

Donald Scrooge McDuck?-)

Trump/Tower?

Godfather actor Carmine Caridi dead at 85

So, is it game over for Trump ... or not?
