If you have been following the recent events, you must have started imagining missile attacks from Russia, Iran or North Korea. Well, it’s just natural to assume that your safety is at stake in case of a missile attack if you didn’t know this:

According to U.S. Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency, the USA is safe. The advanced technology system, that has cost the US $40 million and has taken decades to perfect, is named Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD).

GMD is a part of the Ballistic Missile Defense System and it’s designed to destroy limited intermediate-range and long-range ballistic missile threats in space to protect the US.

This system is in no way simple, as it is made up of a few advanced technology elements that serve particular purposes and work together to achieve the desired results.

The system is 24/7 active and prepared for any potential attacks. As the Missile Defense Agency states, the components communicate through the GMD communications network, which is a secure data and voice communication system that uses SATCOM and fiber-optic cabling for long haul communications.

How does the GMD work?

The purpose of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense is to intercept ballistic missiles mid-way in space.

Once the globally deployed sensors detect a missile threat, the Ground Support & Fire Control System receives data about the location and the trajectory of the missile. This system receives data from satellites and ground-based radars and uses that data to task and support the Ground-Based Interceptors.

The Ground-Based Interceptor is a multi-stage, solid fuel booster that carries a crucial element of the mission: the Exo-atmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV).

The Kill Vehicle weighs 150 pounds and is made up of more than 1,000 components. It contains no explosives, but uses the mere kinetic force (or the force of movement) of the collision with the intercepted missile to trigger the blast in space.

Once in space, the Kill Vehicle is guided by data sent by the Ground Support & Fire Control System components and its on-board sensors. Its final destination is the missile and the detonation from the collision happens space, thus preventing the missile from ever re-entering the atmosphere.

There is a total of 36 Ground-Based Interceptors emplaced in the USA. Their locations are at Fort Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.

The whole system is operated by Warfighters of the 49th Missile Defense Battalion at Fort Greely, Alaska, and the 100th Missile Defense Brigade at Colorado Springs, Colorado. These two bases are in charge of the fire control, battle management, planning, tasking and threat analysis.

The Ground-Based Midcourse Defense has been proven to be effective in a number of successful flight tests and three tests that included the Ground-based Interceptors.

It has long been speculated that a comet could be behind the abrupt drop in temperature in the Northern Hemisphere, known as the Younger Dryas, and thus the mass extinction of the woolly mammoths. Although this speculation was recently dismissed, new archaeological finds have a different story to tell.

Archaeologists have found ancient stone carvings at Gobekli Tepe in Southern Turkey, which try to tell an astronomical story of the event moments before the start of the Younger Dryas.

While these carvings had nothing to say explicitly, the secret behind the mysterious symbols were revealed when experts at the University of Edinburgh tried to compare the carvings to the constellations that were present above Turkey thousands of years ago.

It turned out that these carvings were indeed representations of the night sky from that period and that they told a story of Earth from almost 13,000 years ago. The carvings suggest that Earth was hit by a swarm of comet fragments at the time when the mini ice-age struck.

A computer analysis of the pillar, known as the Vulture Stone, pinpointed the depicted comet strike to 10,950BC, which was the time the Younger Dryas struck, according to ice core data from Greenland.

Gobekli Tepe is thought to be the oldest temple site in the world, preceding Stonehenge by around 6,000 years. The research discovered that Gobekli Tepe had been used as an observatory for meteors and comets and that the people there had been astronomers for a very long time.

Dr. Martin Sweatman, one of the authors of the research paper, points that the research, along with the recent finding of widespread platinum anomaly across the North American continent, virtually seal the case in favor of the theory that a comet strike was the cause of the Younger Dryas.

The event that took place at that time was the spark that triggered the development of the first civilizations. With the sudden drop in temperatures, the people were forced to come together and try to find new ways of growing crops.

Until then, people had a vast supply of wild wheat and barley that had allowed them to establish permanent base camps. But with the sudden climate change, they had to start maintaining and growing the crops with the help of watering and selective breeding.

The rise of agriculture allowed the rise of the first towns and thus the first civilizations.

55 year old, Nick Mead, found five gold sticks worth over 2 million pounds in a Russian tank T54/69 which was once used by the Iraq military forces.

He and the mechanic Tod Chamberlain video tapped the action of opening the reservoir, hoping to find hidden ammunition.

Instead they found something way more interesting- five gold sticks of 11 pounds!

Baba Vanga (English: Granny Vanga) was a blind mystic who lived and made her prophecies in Bulgaria during the period of the two World Wars. The eerie truth about Baba Vanga was that all her predictions were very much accurate and people flocked to her house in Petrich, Bulgaria, to have their faith told by her.

Her way of making predictions looked simple: she would take a sugar cube over which the other person slept overnight and she would tell everything the person needed to know. However, the major predictions came to her in trances that looked frightening.

The simple visions she claimed to have come with the help of the ‘small’ forces, such as deceased relatives, while the major ones were given to her by the ‘major’ forces. She didn’t prefer the major predictions as they were exhausting and terrifying to experience.

Her popularity was so big, that even the Bulgarian tsar Boris III and later the communist government of Todor Zhivkov collaborated with her in solving cases of missing people.

The Bulgarian president and his daughter (who was Vanga’s close friend) weren’t the only ones that consulted her prophecies.

Vanga also gave her predictions to Adolf Hitler, which the he did not fancy, and sayings go that she predicted his demise and showed him the gun with which he would later shoot himself.

She predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall and end of the Cold War, the end of the USSR, and Russian president Boris Yeltsin’s death and she claimed to know who the assassinator of John F. Kennedy was, but never revealed the name.

Regarding the present day, Vanga predicted the attack on the World Trade Center 9/11 2001 when she claimed that ‘steel birds’ would ‘attack the American brethren’.

She also predicted that the 44^th president would be African American, who would also be the last full-term president of the USA.

In her predictions, Baba Vanga tells an eerie story of World War 3

Many prophets have told their prophecies of a third World War, but what is frightening about Baba Vanga’s predictions is that most of her prophecies about the events that precede World War 3 seem to come to pass quite accurately.

Even though the dates she mentions are not quite accurate, the events that unfold seem to fall into place just the way she predicted.

Her predictions start with the Arab Spring 2010 and the fall of Syria, from where everything else would start moving towards World War 3.

In fact, Vanga claimed that WW3 would begin with the fall of Syria. She said that the great Muslim war would begin in Syria and would soon engulf Europe.

She said that Europe would receive a great influx of Muslim refugees and that during the World War, Europe would see massive devastation and would become uninhabitable.

The first to fall is Damascus, where there would be so much devastation that it would be utterly changed in appearance.

She also predicted a similar fate for Paris, which would be left in total destruction. In fact, she predicted Europe’s demise with people dying off of a skin disease, presumably caused by chemical weapons.

She noted that World War 3 would begin and end very fast and that the destruction of the nuclear weapons would be so great that no water will be drinkable.

To the whole story of the end of days, Vanga added that the 8^th president of Russia named Vladimir would restore the former might of Russia and bring peace to the world after the War.

Vanga is not the only one to have predicted that World War 3 is imminent. Mystic Horacio Villegas even points to an exact date of its start, and it’s just days away.

While a third World War has not emerged yet, many of Baba Vanga’s predictions fall into place and the events unfold in the order she mentions. Let’s just hope that this prediction won’t come true as the rest of her predictions did.

For more of Baba Vanga’s predictions, here’s an interesting YouTube video by FactsVerse.

If you thought that the Genesis was in any way unique in its story of our creation and existence, the ancient texts from different cultures will tell you that they’ve been saying that for a very long time before that.

In fact, not only do many ancient texts speak of a very similar ‘historical’ account, but they seem to give greater detail and add some very intriguing information to the whole story.

One such story is that of the 20,000-year-old Sumerian tablets that took archaeologist and author Zecharia Sitchin 20 years to translate. What he found changed his whole life.

Zecharia started translating the tablets 50 years ago, when there were no other Sumerian translators and the complexity of the tablets itself was very challenging.

The tablets had been written in a longer period of time, and they followed the linguistic changes in the ancient Sumerian language.

However, after 20 years of hard work, Zecharia finally came out with a translation of what he claims to be an autobiography of an extraterrestrial from a planet called Nibiru.

The extraterrestrial’s name was Enki. What is very interesting, the story of Enki’s autobiography starts a very long time before the emergence of Homo Sapiens, or us, as a species.

It starts with Enki’s account of the arrival on Earth along with 20 other astronauts and his wife in search of a material that would allow for life to perpetuate on their planet: gold.

The tablets say that their planet’s atmosphere needed gold dust in order to reflect the ultraviolet radiation, which was making life on Nibiru very difficult.

While first trying to excavate the precious material from the Earth, the Sumerian (what would be later called) gods could not endure the physical toils.

That’s when Enki got the idea to create ‘servants’ by mixing their DNA with the already existing hominids on Earth.

The mission to create the sentient human beings that we are today was given to Ninhursag, Enki’s wife. According to the tablets, she was a doctor and a scientist and she knew how to achieve the genetic modification of the hominids for them to become Homo Sapiens.

How does this connect to everything else?

There are many theories that humans were indeed created through intervention, besides the evolutionary path that has already been proven. While some call it ‘divine intervention’, others believe that this ‘intervention’ was extraterrestrial.

Zacharia Sitchin believes that these tablets tell a lot that has been left unexplained about the history of the world and our solar system.

He believes that the missing link could very much be the result of an intervention of the Anunaki, or the extraterrestrials from Nibiru.

Sitchin claims that planet Nibiru is the 10th planet in our solar system (beyond Pluto), with a rotational cycle of 10,000 years.

He ascribes the great flood, which has been described in almost every religion in the world, to Nibiru’s gravitational pull when ‘it was once close to Earth’ and claims that Nibiru will return.

However, many historians oppose Sitchin’s idea of the existence of the Anunaki extraterrestrials and are suspicious of the accuracy of the translation of the tablets.

The reason behind their suspicion lies in the fact that the tablets have shown variations in the language on the way and that the same cannot be translated by simply following a general rule.
