Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson on French TV

Excerpt

This comes from a French TV show from the early 80's called "chorus". French public TV. Each week, 35 minutes of live music. The French TV archives are owned by one organization called "I.N.A. " (as in "national institute of audio-visual arts") and it is 100% legal and official.
There used to be two halves in this show, hosted ny Antoine De Caunes who i believe is well known in the UK, with some sort of a talk show in between where they'd talk about the new records and stuff.
The only "flaw" with this site comes from the fact that once you bought the show (here 2.99 € for the two halves) instead of "downloading" the file you have to right-click on it as in "record the target".

Watching this video you'll hear that Ronson is "guitarist ex-Bowie and ex-Dylan" and Hunter was the leader of "Moot The Hopple" but you may already know de Caunes' terrible French accent almost as heavy as mine. LOL.

Set list : Angeline, Laugh at me, Just anothet night, All the way from Memphis, I wish I was your mother and Bastard.

Recorded May the 10th 1980.

Rocket-deployed chemical trails

The HEX experiment: Determination of the neutral wind field from 120 to 185 km altitude near a stable premidnight auroral arc by triangulating the drift of rocket-deployed chemical trails

On 25 March 2003, Horizontal E-Region Experiment (HEX) released trimethyl aluminum trails from two rockets launched northward from Poker Flat Research Range near Fairbanks to map the vertical wind field near a stable premidnight auroral arc system. They deployed three trails of trimethyl aluminum chemical “puffs,” whose subsequent motion traced the prevailing wind field. This motion was determined using triangulation from four ground observation sites. Position and speed accuracies were estimated to be ∼1 km and a few meters per second, respectively. The first rocket followed a novel flat trajectory; it released a nearly horizontal trail of length 200 km, at an average altitude of ∼145 km. The second rocket was launched 19 min later and released two trails between 125 and 175 km altitude along a conventional steep trajectory. All puffs between 130 and 175 km altitude drifted geomagnetic westward, almost exactly parallel to the aurora. From prior observations and modeling, we had expected to observe convective upwelling near the arcs. We did not; vertical winds were essentially downward throughout the horizontal trail, with speeds between 0 and 20 m s−1. Although an abatement of downward flow was observed ∼40 km equatorward of the arcs, these data alone do not establish a causal relationship between the abatement and the arcs. Vertical speeds of ≤20 m s−1 are relatively modest. However, because the observed wind field would entrain air parcels in flow parallel to the arc system, even vertical speeds around 15 m s−1 could displace individual air parcels by several scale heights if they occurred all along the arcs.

‘MARK OF THE BEAST PLAN: ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MULLING PLAN TO SCAN KIDS’ PALMS IN THE LUNCH LINE


Parents of students at a Lake Charles, La. elementary school are upset over new technology that officials hope to use in the lunch room, believing it would expedite payment in the cafeteria line giving students more time to eat.

KPLC TV reported last week that Moss Bluff Elementary School officials sent a letter home to parents explaining a new system that would scan students’ palms, which in turn would identify the student and the subsequent individual payment plan (thus speeding up the line).

Patriotic Marine Detained Against His Will for Free Speech

FORMER MARINE DETAINED FOR ‘OMINOUS’ FACEBOOK POSTS SPEAKS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME: ‘IT MADE ME SCARED FOR MY COUNTRY’

ATTORNEY OF FORMER MARINE DETAINED FOR FACEBOOK POSTS TELLS BECK: PSYCHIATRIST THREATENED TO ‘BRAINWASH’ MY CLIENT WITH MEDS

Earlier today, 26-year-old former U.S. Marine Brandon Raub was released from a psychiatric facility via a judge’s order, who ruled that the government had no legal grounds to hold him.

Tonight on Glenn Beck’s show on GBTV, soon-to-become TheBlazeTV, John Whitehead, Raub’s lead attorney and president of the Rutherford Institute, gave his first interview following his client’s release to discuss the case.

“No warrant for his arrest and no search warrant,” Whitehead replied. “They haven’t [charged him with a crime] and they’re not going to.”

The original story may be supplemented with what may be a trend against American citizens, Christians, and gun owners.

Psychiatry is a new tool used by the American government to silence against the regime.

‘REAL NEWS FROM THE BLAZE:’ MARINE DETAINMENT STIRS FIRST AMENDMENT DEBATE

Adam Kokesh speaks with Brandon Raub, the former marine who has been kidnapped and held in a mental asylum for expressing opinions on 9/11 that run contrary to the official government version of events.

Marine's mom answers a few questions for the MSM.

Oath Keepers to Rally in Support of Marine Veteran Brandon Raub, Victim of Soviet Style Pre-crime Detention

Rutherford Institute statement

The Rutherford Institute has come to the defense of a former Marine who was arrested, detained indefinitely in a psych ward and forced to undergo psychological evaluations based solely on the controversial nature of his private Facebook page.

Officers at the scene contacted mental health crisis intervention and the crisis workers recommended that police take Raub into custody. Police took Raub into custody for evaluation in accordance with Virginia State Code § 37.2-808 Emergency custody. He was not arrested and he faces no criminal charges in Chesterfield.

The Marine was held in Hopewell's John Randolph Medical Center since Thursday.

"I'm currently in John Randolph in the psychiatric ward being held against my will," Raub said in a telephone interview.

Former Marine arrested for exercising free speech.

Last night (Saturday) at approximately 7:30 pm, Brandon J. Raub, founder of the Richmond Liberty Movement, was arrested. When friends came home they witnessed Brandon being detained by the police, FBI, and the Secret Service. A video shows led away. Friends and family asked what had happened, they were told they were tipped off that Brandon had “posts” on his FB that led them to believe he was a danger to others and/or himself. Brandon believes 9/11 was an inside job and questions the actions of the government.

Facebook posts led to the arrest.

Hell Keeps Diploma from Valedictorian

Kaitlin Nootbaar graduated from Prague High School and was named valedictorian but in her speech she stated:

‘How the h*** do I know?' As a result, the school has retained her diploma. She earned her diploma, completed all the state curriculum, got straight A’s and starts college in a few days on a full scholarship, making the administrators’ decision even more appalling to her family.
