    Why are you concerned about cheap goods? The divide of rich and poor is a terrible thing....we all breathe the same air and are equal.

    Former Canadian Defense Minister Blows Whistle On UFOs

    “We or at least some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. It is ironic that the US should be fighting monstrously expensive wars, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have been kept deliberately in the dark” – Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister, Responsible for the unification of the Canadian Army, Navy and Air Force into the Canadian Forces

    Classed as a “super-Earth,” candidate planet KOI (Kepler Object of Interest) 172.02 orbits within the habitable zone of a sun-like star. This means the planet, which has yet to be confirmed by follow-up observations, could have liquid water on its surface, thought to be essential for life.

    KOI 172.02 is about 1.5 times the diameter of Earth. The planet orbits its star at a distance of 0.75 astronomical units, or about three-fourths of the distance from the Earth to the sun. The exoplanet takes about 242 Earth days to orbit its star.
