Explained: Odd Looking Wide Angle Photo of Bidens and Carters
Some people think this photo was fake, so I demonstrate why Joe Biden looks so much bigger than Mr Carter. It's just a wide angle lens, used because the room is small. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhcdlnB55W0
DJ Thermal Detonator was heavily involved in the Los Angeles 9/11 Truth scene in the late 2000s. At that time, local activism centered around the We Are Change group. DJ attended meetings, helped out with a variety of things, and saw the shift of the organization into even more extreme theories, like Sandy Hook being faked, and chemtrails. He even helped Michael J. Murphy with his popular chemtrails film What In The World Are They Spraying” in 2010.
But the Shift into these more unusual theories in part led to both the disintegration of the local group, and to a change in DJ himself. Once going as far as totally believing the Chemtrail theory, as well as most of the mid-level 9/11 theories (controlled demolition, no plane hitting the Pentagon,) he eventually realized that most of them were without any foundation.
Now he focusses mostly on the people behind 9/11, working on a book exploring a complex web of connections, money, and related events.
We chat about the early days of 9/11 activism in Los Angeles, how it changed, and what he’s doing now.

In this second part of my chat with UFO experiencer Michael, we talk about his interest in the QAnon theory. He firmly believes we are on the verge of a storm of arrests of people currently running the “deep state”. I try to narrow down what this means and arrive at some testable predictions we can check next year

The Nimitz video has become a cornerstone of the idea that there are strange crafts using advanced technology flying around the skies.
Here I put forward the case that it might be something much simple — just a regular plane, blurred and low resolution.

Jason Colavito is an author and journalist with a focus on "alternative archeology" and, more recently, the UFO cultural phenomenon. In May 2021, he wrote the article: "How Washington Got Hooked on Flying Saucers" in the New Republic, describing how "a collection of well-funded UFO obsessives are using their Capitol Hill connections to launder some outré, and potentially dangerous, ideas."
Jason's historical research into the underpinnings of the current UFO/UAP flap is a vital component in understanding what is going on, and how we find ourselves in this situation. Going back to the 1960s and 70s, he traces a path from Jacque Vallée's extradimensional hypothesis and Hal Puthoff's paranormal research, through Robert Bigelow's wide-ranging involvement via Harry Reid, to the current efforts of Luis Elizondo and Chris Mellon.

The most commonly shown video of the WTC7 collapse is zoomed in on the upper visible portion. This gives the misleading impression that it's quite a wide, squat building. Really it was relatively tall and slender.
Here I've overlaid the collapse video with a later segment in the same video with a wide angle view of the whole street. (the camera has hardly moved, so they line up very well.)
It gives a much better sense of the scale of the event.

I got a few requests for more detail on how I tracked down the stars in the "Hyperspectral Mothership" video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JSPTYZuNf4) . So here's all the details. Warning: a bit technical.
The version of Stellarium I used: https://stellarium.org/
There's also a web version, which does the same thing, but with a different user interface. https://stellarium-web.org/

[Audio only] Donald Friedman, P.E., F.ASCE, is a professional engineer with more than 30 years of experience in the investigation, analysis, and restoration of landmark buildings. He has taught engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Columbia University; he has spoken at numerous conferences including the fourth and fifth ASCE Forensics Conference; he is the author of After 9-11: An Engineer’s Work at the World Trade Center, based on his work at the World Trade Center site, starting September 12, 2001.
We talked about his experience at the 9/11 WTC site, and how what he saw relates to the various conspiracies regarding the collapses of the World Trade Center Buildings. We specifically discuss the recent University of Alaska study that Professor Leroy Hulsey carried out for Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. We close out with a discussion of how New York structural engineers view the 9/11 controlled demolition conspiracy theories

Command David Fravor is the pilot who famously observed the "Tic-Tac" UFO (although he did not get any video). He was recently on the Lex Fridman podcast and was asked about my various hypotheses regarding his encounter and the three Navy UFO video (FLIR1, GIMBAL, and GOFAST).
I was quite hopeful there would be some interesting objections. But it turned out that he's not really familiar with what my hypotheses actually were - seemingly only vaguely knowing the ideas second hand. So he mostly went off on irrelevant tangents. It was all rather disappointing, but not without interest.
Here's the Lex Fridman interview: https://youtu.be/aB8zcAttP1E?t=9001
