Donuts in the Dark
Donuts in the Dark
Sorry, but black holes don’t exist
By Mark Luedtke
Dayton’s Conspiracy Theorist
Astronomers made one of the most fantastic claims in the history of science early in April when they claimed they had imaged a black hole for the first time. After a week or so, they produced an image they claimed was a black hole to great fanfare. The picture supposedly confirmed the existence of black holes, but it did no such thing.
To see why not, it’s worthwhile to revisit the propaganda reported before the picture was published.
Before the now-famous image was released but on the same day, Reuters reported, “News conferences are set in Washington, Brussels, Santiago, Shanghai, Taipei and Tokyo to disclose a ‘groundbreaking result’ from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) project, begun in 2012 to directly observe the immediate environment of a black hole using a global network of telescopes.”
The reason scientists made this out to be a big deal is it supposedly confirmed Einstein’s theory of general relativity, a pillar of establishment cosmology and a key to the government’s gravy train. You rarely read that Einstein himself doubted the existence of black holes.
The article adds, “The project targeted two supermassive black holes residing at the center of different galaxies….
”One of the black holes - Sagittarius A* - is situated at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy, possessing 4 million times the mass of our sun and located 26,000 light years from Earth. A light year is the distance light travels in a year, 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).”
But we only saw one picture, supposedly of a black hole 54 million light years away in the relatively nearby galaxy of M87.
The Reuters article also contains a picture of the supposed black hole before it was computer processed for release. Take a look. It looks a lot less impressive. The program to process the image was written by a person who supports and is paid to support black hole theory so naturally the program produced an image biased toward displaying what black hole theory predicted.
Still, we saw no image of black hole. We saw a torus. A donut. Before we saw the photo, but probably not before he saw it, Yahoo News quoted Paul McNamara, an astrophysicist at the European Space Agency, regarding the image. “The light from behind the black hole gets bent like a lens. No matter what the orientation of the [accretion] disc, you will see it as a ring because of the black hole's strong gravity,” he described.
McNamara expected a donut, so the donut picture supported black hole theory.
This begs the question: why did they only release the picture from M87, not a picture of the black hole at the center of our galaxy which is thousands of times closer? I bet it doesn’t show a donut. If it did, they would have released it.
That’s because neither picture shows a black hole. Both show plasmoids, an electrical, plasma, phenomenon. The picture from M87 is looking down the the axis of the plasmoid, so we see a donut. The picture of Sagittarius A is looking from the side, so we don’t, so they didn’t release it.
Plasma donuts are common features in space, but establishment scientists ignore them because they falsify their theories. They capture electrical energy at all scales of the universe. The Earth is surrounded by donuts called the Van Allen Belts. Saturn’s rings are captured in donuts. The sun is encircled by a donut. The Milky Way is circled by a ring of stars, a donut. The donut at the core of galaxies including M87 and the Milky Way is produced by a plasmoid, a product of intertwined, intergalactic Birkeland currents.
The Thunderbolt Project’s picture of the day explained regarding the image, “Instead of a black hole, a plasmoid in M87’s heart is ramping up charged particles, so electrons spiral in the electromagnetic fields and give off X-rays and radio emissions. The idea that electricity flows through the Universe is resisted by today’s consensus, so its influence and attributes are unseen.”
In an interview, Wal Thornhill and Steve Smith described observations that falsify the theory that Sagittarius A is a supermassive black hole. Regarding stars forming close to the purported black hole, phys.org wrote, “At this distance, tidal forces driven by the supermassive black hole should be energetic enough to rip apart clouds of gas and dust before they can form stars.”
Also several years ago a cloud of gas, really plasma, approached the black hole but was not consumed or torn apart. National Geographic reported, “A cosmic gas cloud seemingly destined for a deadly encounter with the gigantic black hole at the core of the Milky Way has surprisingly survived a close pass by the monster's maw.”
After surviving, scientists’ claims mysteriously transformed the gas into a binary star system to save the theory. Government monopolization of science has created a new dark age for real science.

The Curious Case of Jussie Smollett
The Curious Case of Jussie Smollett
Friends and enemies in high places
By Mark Luedtke
Dayton’s Conspiracy Theorist
Jussie Smollett is on a roller coaster. Until a few months ago, few had heard of him. He had a small part on the TV show Empire, but unless you watched that show, you probably had never heard of him either. Then the gay, black actor reported he had been attacked and threatened by two white Trump supporters, and that made him famous. Leftist pundits tripped over each other putting him on TV to publicize his story.
But his story wasn’t credible. Smollett claimed he was attacked after a late-night run to Subway for a sandwich, but when he got home, despite claiming his attackers drenched him with bleach, he still had the sandwich. A noose still draped from his neck nearly an hour after the alleged attack.
Police originally believed Smollett, but they changed their minds after arresting two men spotted in a surveillance video. Two black brothers from Nigeria who worked on Empire with Smollett and worked out at his gym, stated Smollett hired them to stage a hate crime. The hoax would raise Smollett’s profile and boost his career.
That seemed to be working until the hoax was discovered. A grand jury indicted Smollett on 16 felony counts related to making false statements. Smollett had gone from a celebrated victim to the guy who played Chicago PD for fools, and he was in big trouble.
But the roller coaster was just getting started. Out of the blue last week, prosecutors dropped the charges against Smollett, but MSN reports, “The Cook County state’s attorney who dropped felony charges against Jussie Smollett said Tuesday that he does not believe the move vindicates or exonerates the Empire actor, who police say staged a racial and homophobic attack against himself in late January.”
You might think Smollett must have received a stiff punishment in return for prosecutors dropping 16 felony counts, but you’d be wrong. MSN continues, “CBS Chicago also confirmed that Smollett put in 16 hours of community service over the weekend at Rainbow PUSH Coalition, which the state’s attorney’s office previously cited along with the actor forfeiting his $10,000 bond.”
The community service was helping race agitator Jesse Jackson.
That’s hardly a slap on the wrist for trying to instigate race riots in Chicago. Somehow this guy got off scot free. Maybe this is how:
That’s Smollett on the right with Chicago’s most famous couple. But this story stinks even more. The AP reports, “Chicago’s top prosecutor, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, recused herself from the investigation before Smollett was charged, citing conversations she had with a Smollett family member.”
But that’s not the full story. Fox News exposes, “Tina Tchen, the attorney and former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama, has garnered scrutiny after messages traded with Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx -- about the alleged hoax linked to actor Jussie Smollett -- emerged shortly before prosecutors dropped all charges against Smollett on Tuesday.”
But it gets stinkier. Fox News discovered, “Cook County (Ill.) State’s Attorney Kim Foxx did not ‘formally’ recuse herself from the Jussie Smollett case, her office said in a statement Thursday, explaining that Foxx used the term ‘recuse’ in a ‘colloquial’ sense rather than a legal sense when she left the case in February.”
Had Foxx formally recused herself, as she should have, she would have been required to recuse her entire office, as she should have. An outside prosecutor would then have taken over the case. But that would have reduced the Obamas’ influence to absolve their comrade.
But this case isn’t over. It turns out the Smollett case actually began a few weeks before the alleged attack when the actor claimed he received a threatening letter. Police believe he sent the letter, written in magazine cutout letters, to himself, but when he received no publicity boost from it, he staged the attack. The FBI is investigating the letter for mail fraud, and the entire Chicago PD and outgoing mayor Rahm Emanuel, another Obama administration official, is assisting to nab Smollett.
Smollett has friends in high places, but he’s made powerful, dangerous enemies as well. I’m going to get some more popcorn and enjoy watching the ending of this.

Now It’s Trump’s Turn
Now It’s Trump’s Turn
Desperate rulers will do anything to save themselves
By Mark Luedtke
Dayton’s Conspiracy Theorist
Our lives just got more dangerous. You probably heard about that kerfuffle in Washington called the Mueller investigation. Reportedly it was supposed to expose collusion between President Trump and the Russians to get Trump elected. It didn’t. It was supposed to end with Trump either in handcuffs or at least impeached. It failed.
As expected. Congress, the Justice Department, the FBI, and their media propagandists knew all along no collusion occurred. The FBI had the recordings. Two years of propaganda, hysteria, and slander was false. Trump called the investigation a witch hunt. It wasn’t. It was a hoax as so many pointed out from the beginning. It succeeded only in dividing the country and preventing rapport with Russia, which were its real goals.
Many people wondered why Trump put up with the investigation so long. The answer seems clear now. Since he had nothing to fear, allowing the investigation to complete discredited his accusers, critics, and opposition while boosting him. Furthermore, he avoided accusations of obstruction.
And now he gets his turn at bat, and his enemies are running scared. The Washington Times reports former CIA director John Brennan who claimed to have seen evidence of collusion now claims, “I don't know if I received bad information.”
This hoax started with Hillary Clinton’s campaign colluding with British and Russian intelligence agents to produce bogus opposition research against Trump. Clinton’s campaign originally paid for the research. Then the FBI joined the conspiracy but stopped short of paying for it too.
Unlike the accusations against Trump, this has been proven with documentation and testimony. Top bureaucrats at the Department of Justice and the FBI were in on it. Several of them texted about their conspiracy the prevent Trump from being elected, and after he was, neutering him. Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe admitted conspiring with other top national security bureaucrats to remove Trump from office using his cabinet officials.
Along with top Democrats in Congress, all of these people are now targets. Especially Clinton. Trump’s allies have already demanded the resignation of House Intelligence Chairman Democrat Adam Schiff for misleading the public about collusion.
But it’s the bureaucrats who have most to fear. If they can launch an evidence-free investigation of Trump, he can do the same to them. Trump is often described as a counter-puncher. I predict his revenge will be impressive.
You might think the self-proclaimed smartest people in country would have protected themselves from such revenge. If so, you underestimate the corrupting influence of the power of coercion.
For example, Reason reports, Trump critic and former attorney for Stormy Daniels was just busted for trying to extort Nike. “As recently as five months ago, Avenatti was a frequent fixture on cable news and prolific anti-Trump pundit. He was viewed as a potential Democratic presidential candidate until he declared in December that he wouldn't run. Now he could be headed to prison….
“Representatives for Nike immediately contacted the authorities, who then recorded Avenatti's subsequent phone calls with the company, in which he foolishly restated his demands over and over again.”
One down. Avenatti was so brazen because these people believe they are above the law. For their entire careers they have been.
This is more true of the bigwigs at the DoJ and FBI. They wielded the law as a weapon against their enemies, but believed it could never be used against them. That’s about to change. When they start getting indicted, they’ll turn on each other like a viper’s nest.
But deep staters won’t do nothing and allow themselves to prosecuted and jailed. That’s why life got more dangerous for us. These are the most successful, evil people in the country, and they will do anything to protect themselves, including kill Americans en mass.
Don’t be surprised when, once the indictments become imminent, the US suffers a major false flag terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11. It will take something that major to redirect US Attorneys from carrying out Trump’s revenge.
Furthermore, with the economy spiralling into another crash, rulers need an excuse for the crash so they can pretend they didn’t orchestrate it by having the Federal Reserve print trillions of dollars to corrupt our economy. Similar to 9/11, the subsequent crash will be blamed on the false flag attack.
US rulers have so much corruption and evil to cover up, so much that is becoming public as layers of corruption are peeled back like an onion, only a devastating attack could cover it up and reestablish their weakening grip on power. At least temporarily.

Stupid Americans
Stupid Americans
Blame Government Schools
By Mark Luedtke
Dayton’s Conspiracy Theorist
In the last month we’ve witnessed stupid on parade in America to an extent never before seen in our lifetimes. Here are a few examples:
Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently introduced what is being called a green new deal. According to The Washington Post, it calls for meeting 100 percent of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources, repairing and upgrading the infrastructure in the United States, including . . . by eliminating pollution and greenhouse gas emissions as much as technologically feasible, and building or upgrading to energy-efficient, distributed, and ‘smart’ power grids, and working to ensure affordable access to electricity, upgrading all existing buildings in the United States and building new buildings to achieve maximal energy efficiency, water efficiency, safety, affordability, comfort, and durability, including through electrification.
It would also ban air travel and require connecting the continents with high speed rail. All done in ten years.
If the green new deal stopped there, it would be a joke. We would all starve to death if we were forced to try and implement this. Poverty, starvation and disease always follow socialism because socialism can never work.
But Cortez didn’t stop there. She added guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement security to all people of the United States, Providing all people of the United States with — (i) high-quality health care; (ii) affordable, safe, and adequate housing; (iii) economic security; and (iv) access to clean water, clean air, healthy and affordable food, and nature, and providing resources, training, and high-quality education, including higher education, to all people of the United States.
You don’t have to be an economist to recognize her aspiration is impossible. Even if people wanted to do this voluntarily, they couldn’t. Not in ten years. Maybe not in 100. It would require diverting capital and labor from wealth-producing activities and kill nearly all of us because of it. People would never stand for it, rulers would have to physically enslave everybody in the country as a result, and it would still fail spectacularly like the Soviet Union, Chinese communism, and every other deeply socialist experiment.
In support of the green new deal, avowed communist Democratic Sen. Cory Booker compared fighting global warming to fighting Nazis in WWII.
Activists used a bunch of brainwashed children to stage a political stunt by having them demand Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein support the green new deal.
Like Cortez, these poor children have been brainwashed into believing the world will end in ten years if we don’t adopt this boondoggle.
In response to criticism, Cortez fell back on the mantra all rulers embrace: she declared, “I'm the Boss… How 'bout that!” What a great reminder that government attracts corrupt people to work for it, it corrupts them more, and the worst of them rise to the top.
But the green new deal was so stupid and so bad for Democrats, somebody erased it from Cortez’s congressional website.
Now a bunch of students plan to strike on March 15 to force rulers to address the great global warming scam.
In the meantime, New Yorkers are facing gas shortages despite sitting on a large gas-shale deposit because the state’s rulers won’t allow the gas to be extracted.
I’m sure Cortez and the students who ambushed Feinstein were born with normal intelligence. I’ve never heard a parent say their child, five and under, was stupid. But Cortez and the other children mentioned have become stupid. The question is how do smart children become so stupid as they become educated.
The question answers itself. Government schools, which are socialist schools, don’t educate children. They miseducate them. They brainwash them. They promote socialism, not education. They promote political agendas, not education.
Parents try to put their children in the best schools, but those efforts are misguided. After 40 years under the federal Department of Education, there’s no such thing as a good government school. They all promote socialism over education. Some are worse than others, and the “best” schools are often the best at miseducating children, not educating them.
As socialism advances even the smart managers at Apple, insteading of maximizing value for their customers as they should, demand their suppliers go green, weakening our economy.
Government schools are to blame for the worst problems we face in this country: perpetual war, a declining economy, declining quality of healthcare, you name it. Educated people understand free markets and peaceful trade produce health and prosperity. Socialism destroys both.

Watermelons No More
Watermelons No More
Eco-socialists come out of the closet
By Mark Luedtke
Dayton’s Conspiracy Theorist
If you needed more evidence socialism is suddenly all the rage in political circles, take a look at the greens.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, disgraced socialists raced to find a hiding place. They infiltrated and took over the environmental movement, pretending they were green, not red. That’s how they got the nickname watermelons.
But you don’t have to take my word for it. In his book “Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout,” Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore explains, “The Cold War was over and the peace movement was largely disbanded. The peace movement had been mainly Western-based and anti-American in its leanings. Many of its members moved into the environmental movement, bringing with them their neo-Marxist, far-left agendas. To a considerable extent the environmental movement was hijacked by political and social activists who learned to use green language to cloak agendas that had more to do with anti-capitalism and anti-globalization than with science or ecology.”
With the surge in support for socialism, these socialists no longer need to hide their true identity. They’ve rebranded their movement eco-socialism. Wikipedia informs, “Eco-socialists advocate dismantling capitalism, focusing on common ownership of the means of production by freely associated producers, and restoring the commons.”
In other words, they plan to steal our property and manage it themselves. Mass stealing is an ideology of violence, and that’s why the eco-socialist movement tends to be violent.
This information also explains why the great anthropomorphic global warming fraud never dies. If socialists can fool enough people into believing manmade CO2 will cause catastrophic global warming, they might succeed at stealing everything.
There’s only one problem: they’re not fooling many people anymore. That’s because the climate keeps contradicting them.
I get a good laugh every time it snows because some fraud once claimed global warming meant the end of snow. But the frauds have doubled down on that prediction. The Arizona Daily Sun EarthTalk column says of skiing, “Our recent modeling suggests that under a high emissions scenario, skiing could be very limited to non-existent in parts of the country by the end of this century, particularly in lower elevations — such as the northeast, Midwest and lower mountains around the West.”
At least they’ve learned to push their predictions out 80 years so we can’t laugh directly in their faces when they’re proved wrong.
A recent study debunked the misinformation regarding sea level rise. Wattsupwiththat.com reports, “Assessing data from a range of sources and previous studies, the team concluded that the movement of the earth – referred to as vertical land motion – is the dominant force behind variations in rates of sea level rise up and down the East Coast, the team reports today in the journal Nature.”
Sea level change is so slow, the land elevates and sinks faster.
To boost theft, the UN recently claimed we only have until 2030 to save the planet. Every time one of these predictions fail, they push the date out.
The costs of green, sorry, eco-socialist, policies, also play a role. The Daily Mail reports, “But using 'eco' settings on washing machines could do us more harm than good – by helping to spread diseases. The NHS [Britain’s National Health Service] recommends a 60C (140F) setting to kill bacteria when washing underwear, towels and linens. However, most machines have an energy-saving setting which operates at just 30C (86F).”
This highlights the decivilizing effect of socialism. Socialism always produces poverty and disease, but today’s hip, young socialists have no clue because they’ve been mis-educated in socialist schools.
Then there’s the problem of disposing of solar panel waste and wind turbines. And the brownouts and rolling blackouts Australians have suffered through.
Fortunately for us The Daily Caller notes, “Despite increasingly apocalyptic warnings from U.N. officials, 2018 has seen a number of high-profile defeats for policies aimed at fighting global warming. Politicians and voters pushed back at attempts to raise energy prices as part of the climate crusade.”
Resistance in Australia, France, Canada, and the US has stymied the frauds.
The yellow vest protests, which started as a revolt against a carbon tax, have spread across Europe and into Canada and Australia. Hard-working people are tired of having their money stolen by greedy socialist rulers - redundant, I know - and are pushing back. Unfortunately, things will get much worse before they get better.

Don’t Cry for the Titans of Tech
Don’t Cry for the Titans of Tech
Poor and middle class people, not corporations, are being robbed
By Mark Luedtke
Dayton’s Conspiracy Theorist
Maybe you’ve heard the latest news about poor Apple. It’s stock crashed 10 percent Thursday, but the bigger story is what happened over the last few months. CNBC reports, “Thursday's losses push Apple's market valuation below $700 billion and behind the market cap of Alphabet to become the fourth most valuable publicly traded U.S. company — down from the top spot just two months ago. The company has lost $450 billion in market value since its peak of about $1.1 trillion last year.”
And of course the press identifies the reason in their narrative. We’re supposed to believe weaker than forecast iPhone sales in China caused the 41 percent drop in Apple’s market cap.
In a seemingly unrelated story, Bloomberg reports, “Mark Zuckerberg’s multibillion-dollar stock sale ground to a halt in the final months of 2018. The Facebook Inc. co-founder didn’t sell a single share in the fourth quarter, when the social media company’s stock tumbled 20 percent amid a broader market rout. It’s the first quarter in more than two years he’s refrained from doing so, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.”
Of course there’s a reason for Facebook’s stock meltdown, different than Apple’s. In Facebook’s case, the narrative is privacy issues are causing the stock to collapse.
Speaking of the FAANGs - Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google’s parent company Alphabet - they’ve all been dropping. Weak demand is blamed, but David Stockman, Reagan’s former budget director, issued a prescient warning a year and a half ago. “During the last 70 days, the FAANGS have gained $260 billion in value, while the other 495 companies in the S&P 500 have lost an identical amount. And on that utterly unmistakable pattern history is absolutely clear,” he wrote. “That’s a radical narrowing of the market if there ever was one. It’s also evidence that the eye of a financial hurricane now sits dead atop the canyons of Wall Street. When the market narrows to a handful of momo names, it’s all over but the shouting. Like the case of the Nifty Fifty back in the early 1970s, a crash is just around the corner.”
It’s as if the people writing these articles don’t know this same situation has occurred before many times. Maybe they never heard of the dot.com crash of 2001 or the housing crash of 2008. The common denominator in these articles is they all fail to mention tech stocks, and everything else, are in the biggest bubble in history created by the Federal Reserve, and that bubble is collapsing.
The same scenario is happening all over the world for the same reason: Central banks have been printing money in concert like never before. They’ve created a worldwide bubble, the biggest in history. The coming crash will be the biggest in history. Apple, Facebook, and all the FAANGs stocks are falling because the bubble is bursting.
But don’t cry for Cook, Zuckerberg or any of the rest of the tech titans. They’ll still have billions after the wreckage. The real victims of central bank printing are poor and middle class people.
After ten years of hearing fake news about a recovery from the last bubble-crash, CBS News recently published an honest story about the consequences. “A decade after the financial crisis, the U.S. economy seems to be firing on all cylinders, with unemployment at a 50-year low and growth hitting its stride. But a deeper look reveals a more troubling picture: Between 2012 and 2015 -- a period when the recovery seemed to be gaining speed -- nearly half of all counties nationwide saw flat or declining growth, according to new government data,” it admitted.
Except for those who never leave the big city, we’ve all seen places the supposed recovery never reached. That’s because half of the country never recovered.
In fact, the recovery for the other half is an illusion. Here’s how it works: The Federal Reserve, or any central bank in any country, prints a bunch of money and hands it out to the big banks. Not backed by anything, the money is essentially counterfeit except by law. The big banks counterfeit more money and hand it out to commercial banks. That money tends to go into the coffers of big corporations like the FAANGs first, then it trickles down to rulers and their cronies. Banks, corporations, and rulers at every level amass wealth with the counterfeit money, and they create temporary jobs that are touted as part of the economy recovery.
But people who don’t receive the counterfeit money early - most of us - become poorer. It’s the same as if you printed a bunch of perfect counterfeit money and gave it to your friends. You and your friends would amass real wealth, but everybody else would become poorer because of it. It’s invisible theft. Eventually, when you’ve stolen too much, the bubble bursts.
This is how the rich get richer while the poor get poorer and income inequality grows.
Central bank counterfeiting also sucks wealth out of the economy into wasteful projects. Soon we’ll see more empty factories, shopping centers, condos, half-developed housing developments, and other unfinished projects join the rubble we already see from previous bubble-bust cycles.
