Speaker 1 Sunday morning, like every Sunday. Who’s with us? Well, Steve Kates otherwise known as doctor Sky, and he well, he moves our memories around and he comes up with things that well makes our minds think. Well, Steve Kates, Doctor Sky, what’s up for today?

Speaker 2 Well, good morning, John, and to you and all the listeners. Are happy Sunday as we approach coming up this week at the beginning of the summer solstice. But John, let’s take our attention to these skies above us in lower Thorbity.

A few months ago, you and I had an interesting conversation. The Congress was also talking about supposedly allegedly the Russians had a nuclear weapon pack. Let’s sing into a satellite. Well, here’s the latest time. What we think we know? This Russian orbital warfare satellite is now moved closer and then closer to a United States as we call it, a

secret military spy satellite called USA three third eight. What is that? It’s part of a constellation of these military you know, surveillance satellite It’s called the KH elevens. Why is this important? The Russian satellite is called the Cosmos twenty five eighty eight and many believe, John, it may not be a nuclear warhead in space, but what they

call a kinetic weapon, what’s that. It’s like taking a sledgehammer. If you were to slam it into another spacecraft, it’ll destroy it. So the space experts are saying this object, the Russian satellite, has moved closer within fifty eight miles on average, and that this particular object may even be getting closer as the Russians trail some of these spy

satellites that we have.

Speaker 1 That’s pretty that’s pretty close. That is very close for out of space and for people that don’t realize it. President Trump created a space for us for this particular reason. The next war could be fought from out of space.

Speaker 2 As true as it is, John, as it would be. But look at that. The Russians are also up to that, as we talked about. But let’s also talk about the Chinese. And we always report honestly here and that’s the only thing we’ll do is that the Chinese also have a mini space plane. We have one called the X thirty

seven B. It’s like a little well miniature shuttle doing some kind of secret things in space. But the Chinese have one, and we have it on good authority that they’ve released a sub satellite or something out of that.

We don’t know the purpose and intent, but you’re so right. The information about how close this Russian satellite, the Cosmos twenty five eighty eight has gotten to the American spacecraft, the USA three thirty eight, comes to us from an aerospace company with high credibility called Slingshot Aerospace. So we’ll keep you posted. Hopefully no wars in space anytime soon,

but John, common sense tells us that’s probably the next battlegrounds, and you and I both agree, well, we both agree.

Speaker 1 Now, the other thing that’s happening that the American people should realize is one thing is if they could knock out the grid from out of space, yes, and if they not got the grid, which will create a war, is that the American people will probably starve to death in the next sixty to ninety days or seventy of them,

eighty percent of them.

Speaker 2 Well, you know this better than anybody, John, Again, with the you know retail stores and grocery chains that you obviously own, you realize that if something like this were to happen, that the deliveries have watched food it goes out in mud a pretty short time. I imagine what if days not ours. So the vulnerability that we have

anything from what we call electromagnetic pulse is a serious concern to everybody.

Speaker 1 If the refineries can’t make gasoline and diesel fuel because of the outages, then how long is the gasoline and diesel fuel going to last? And I mean it would turn into World War three because I don’t think the United States will stand still. But I would hate to starve to death. And the important thing is that the

Chinese would love for Americans to die. Maybe. I mean, I’m just saying if there’s a war, sure, and I’m talking about the Communist Party, not the irregular Chinese people. If there’s a war, they’d rather have everything intact. So if they take over, all the buildings are intact, it’s just the people are dead.

Speaker 2 John, It’s amazing, It’s so true, and I think people need not to panic, but we need to think about this. A gentleman that I knew for many years and interviewed them on other programs I did in my life was a gentleman, doctor Peter Vincent Priye, and he was also part of President Trump’s Commission on electrodagnotic calls. I read

all of his white papers. Yeah, but what’s the bottom line? He passed away suddenly, very mysteriously. It’s sad, but he was the one, you know, telling us that we’ve really better protect our electric grid and do something. What can you do? All it takes John is you probably know, maybe the listeners may also know. But here’s some other facts.

A small yield nuclear weapon detonated over the central part of the United States, even one hundred miles or more or maybe less above the US could cause that whole cascading effect. And what can you really do about it?

President Trump is trying to, of course, do this Golden dome to protect us from ICBMs. But simply John, the understatement of the show, we all need to pay more attention to this and actually have a plan.

Speaker 1 I got one more for you. I don’t know if you were up to date on this last couple of weeks. It’s found out that the solar cells made by the Chinese report back to China. There’s a there’s there’s a thing inside the solar cells, a report back to China, and if they’re hooked up to the grid, where where

that they sell excess, they sell excess energy to the grid, and they could turn off the grid. Tell your American people about that.

Speaker 2 Well, I’m not an expert on it, but I did read and I do try to get my sources correct, and not everything I read I believe on the internet. But again in same sink of what you’re talking about, that there obviously could be some embedded systems inside these solar cells that usually and not to be redundant. They

report back to China in their you know, ever growing Clansestine operation to gather data. When you have all the data on everything, well then you can have control if you want to shut things down. So what does that mean, folks go out and check your solar panel to see if there’s a spy device in it. Hardly, It’s just

that we need to find out more of what really is happening with this stuff. But again that’s a very serious subject on top of using power off the electric grid because of EMP. But John, there’s a couple of other if we do have time, I wanted to mention enough.

Sure we talked last week about space bacteria. Now, if you didn’t hear that report, here’s the lake breaking news on the Chinese Tiangong space station. The Chinese cosmonauts they called them chekanuts. They gathered up some strange material in the form of bacteria, and this one, officially I’m not a biologist, is called Nalia Tiangong insists that fancy name

is what. It’s a bacteria that we’re now finding out. The update if you heard this last week, is that there’s some sort of a gelatinous coating that’s made of nitrogen and carbon. Well what does it do? Well?

Speaker 2 These little buggers, this particular bacteria has the ability to shield itself from radiation and has the ability to survive in a hostile environment. Now, this type of bacteria has also been related on Earth, not the exact copy on the Space Fleece space station. That it has a lot to do with sepsis, you know, some kind of infectious

thing that could happen to people and it’s spread wildly. But we’ve also detected the similar, not exact stream on board the International Space Station. So what we’re hearing John in summary, is that there’s a strange concoction or brewing of bacteria. We don’t know exactly where it comes from.

These were controlled experiments, I think on the ISS where they were actually trying to either want to use the word grow it, but see what happens in space. So summary, things are changing, that the bacteria seem to have some sort of ability to survive radiation and preserve themselves. That’s most amazing. That’s the subject, John, of something called astrobiology.

And I’m sure we’ll be talking more about that when we get it update.

Speaker 1 Understood. Anything else. Who want to say to the people on a Sunday.

Speaker 2 Morning, Well, good morning to this one. Here’s another one, John, that baffles the mind. Energy, which is one of those forces in the universe that continually accelerate the universe, may not exist at all. According to some cosmology experts, or they think they’re experts. One theory is called timescape cosmology.

What the heck is that that’s talking about cosmic acceleration with this dark energy? So what is dark energy? Scientists and physicists believe it’s called a weak anti gravity force. But John, it covers two thirds of the universe. So the summary of what they think is going on here to contradict that the universe is not expanding by some

strange force in gravity, is that time somehow passes faster in the voids of open space and slower when closer to galaxy, making this even more confusing, don’t you think, not only on a Sunday morning. Well, what we think is knowing it. We really don’t know the answers to this stuff. To Skuy to explore it.

Speaker 1 I’m going to tease the subject and we’ll talk about in the future, because you’re at a time that is the passage of a UFOs that our extra terrestrial is. They use the energy between dark energy and regular energy, and that’s the movement of them. But we’ll talk about it what I know and what our listeners will listen

to next week.

Speaker 2 Well, thank you, John, and don’t forget summersaultsice at the beginning of summer Friday, the twentieth and forty two pm Eastern day lifetime, it’s.

Speaker 1 The longest, the longest day ninety.

Speaker 2 Three days, fifteen hours and thirty seven minutes. And here in Arizona, John, today’s temperature is about one hundred and eleven. Have a great Sunday,
