The paleontologist is trying to create a real dinosaur in 5 years

Yes, this is for real.

No, there isn't dinosaur DNA trapped in amber, waiting to be replicated and cloned.

But that's not the only way to make a dino, said Jack Horner, the paleontologist who worked on "Jurassic World" (and the rest of the "Jurassic Park" films), and he wants to make it happen.

How did we get to this point, where Horner — one of the main inspirations for Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park" character Alan Grant — thinks we can make a live dinosaur within five to 10 years?

"It all started with 'Jurassic Park,'" Horner told Business Insider in an interview.

In 1993, the same year the first movie came out, he and then-graduate student Mary Schweitzer, who has continued to make some amazing discoveries in the field of paleontology, tried to extract DNA from dinosaur bones.

They failed. DNA basically starts coming apart as soon as a cell dies, says Horner, and no one has ever found intact dinosaur DNA — he doesn't think it's possible. "If you did the thing they did in 'Jurassic Park,'" says Horner (referring to the story's solution of filling in dino DNA gaps with frog DNA), "you'd basically have a frog."

About 20 years of genetics research later, however, Horner has another plan — and it relies on the fact that we have a more effective way to get "dinosaur" DNA.

Picture this guy (or gal?), but smaller and feathered.

ISIS considers transporting nuclear weapon to U.S.

ISIS, the jihadist group in Syria, Iraq and Libya, has claimed it could purchase a nuclear device and transport same to the United States, through a network of countries including Nigeria, up to Mexico.

In its latest propaganda magazine, Dabiq, published two weeks ago, the group said the plan is workable the same way banned drugs are transported through West Africa to Western countries, saying it could even be easier with the presence of Boko Haram, the Nigeria-based group that recently pledged allegiance to ISIS.

ISIS also described the Nigerian Army as “an exhausted and smashed national army that is now in a virtual state of collapse”.

Currently, it said Boko Haram insurgents have taken control of much of Nigeria and their attacks are intensifying and pushing back the military.

“They (Boko Haram) declared allegiance to the Caliphate in March, and they are the same group, remember, that Obama claimed just last year was being successfully pushed back by American intervention policy.

“Indeed, he claimed that the same model (cutting finances, recruitment tools, and the will to fight) that worked so ‘well’ in the degradation of the mujāhidīn there before their pledge of allegiance, would work just as well on the Islamic State. Some things just don’t work out as planned.”

The article said the idea of reaching the U.S. with a deadly nuclear device is not as far-fetched.

“Let me throw a hypothetical operation onto the table,” Cantlie wrote. “The Islamic State has billions of dollars in the bank, so they call on their wilāyah in Pakistan to purchase a nuclear device through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials in the region.

“The weapon is then transported overland until it makes it to Libya, where the mujāhidīn move it south to Nigeria. Drug shipments from Columbia bound for Europe pass through West Africa, so moving other types of contraband from East to West is just as possible.

“The nuke and accompanying mujāhidīn arrive on the shorelines of South America and are transported through the porous borders of Central America before arriving in Mexico and up to the border with the United States.

“From there it’s just a quick hop through a smuggling tunnel and hey presto, they’re mingling with another 12 million ‘illegal’ aliens in America with a nuclear bomb in the trunk of their car.”

The Nigerian military did not comment on the article. Defence spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, did not respond to calls and text messages on Tuesday.

666 "American Pharoah" Wins Triple Crown

ISIS Troops Are Penetrating the U.S. Border and Are Engaging Any Who Oppose Them

Shots fired!

La Bota Ranch near Laredo.

The Laredo Morning Times is reporting that a Border Patrol helicopter was shot at and was struck on Friday evening near La Bota Ranch, according to Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar. Sheriff Cuellar said that out of the five shots, two were confirmed to have hit the helicopter.

A Spokesperson for the Border Patrol, Sara Melendez, said the helicopter landed safely and no injuries were reported. It has not been confirmed if the shots were fired on the U.S. or Mexico side.

A later Border Patrol statement says the crew of the Office of Air and Marine helicopter was patrolling the US-Mexico border near the banks of the Rio Grande when attacked about 5:30 p.m. Friday. According to the Border Patrol, bullets hit the ride side of the aircraft and the rotor blade, which could have produced catastrophic results, but the pilot was able to land safely with no injuries to Border Patrol personnel.

The MSM coverup instantly sprang into action as CNN reported that the shots came from inside of Mexico. Not so, according to my Border Patrol source.

Dusting Off Old Reliable Sources

Subsequent to this report, I was able to contact one of the two Border Patrol (BP) personnel who provided me with very accurate behind-the-scenes intelligence information last summer during the Central American immigration invasion of the United States. The source told me, late last night, that the event took place inside of the United States. The area, outside of Laredo, is mostly unguarded. I asked the BP source about the 75% reduction in BP force along certain parts of the border. He informed me that in many areas, the border is in complete disarray, is totally unguarded and are hotbeds for blatant and rampant criminal activity.

This is not the first time that this area of the border has been at the center of border incursions by 5th column insurgents who have crossed the border. Nothing happens in isolation. My BP source said that the field report filed by the ranking BP official in that particular sector stated that the helicopter was maintaining a watch on what appeared troop movements 5-15 miles inside of the United States. In this same area, five years ago, the Laredo Police Department have now admitted that the police blotter evidence released by Kim Dvorak of the San Diego Examiner showed that the Los Zetas drug cartel seized a privately owned ranch in the Laredo area was indeed accurate. Authorties have spent the last five years debunking this claim despite the official record.

The police blotter reads as follows:
“On Friday 7-23-10 Laredo Webb informed that their county SWAT Team is conducting an operation in the Mines Rd. area. According to LT. Garcia with LSO (Laredo Sheriff Office) received a call from a ranch owner stating that the Zetas had taken over his ranch. As per the 17 (reporting person) he informed them that they stated La Compania (area business) was taking the ranch and no one was permitted on the ranch without permission. SO (Sheriff Office) will have an unmarked green Ford Taurus with two officers stationed at Los Compadres and a white Chevy Tahoe with two officers stationed at Mineral Rd. The LSO (Laredo Sheriff Office) will maintain surveillance in the area and advise if action is taken. Susp (suspect) Veh (vehicle) are described as a gray or silver Audi, a BLK (black) Escalade or Navigator and a van truck with a logo of a car wash spot free on the side. Border Patrol also has their response team on scene. Also known info of BMW’s and Corvettes entering and leaving the area. Auth LT Lichtenberger if assistance is requested LPD (Laredo Police Department) will secure the outer perimeter.”

My source informed me that the cartels maintain a presence in the area that was never eradicated after the 2010 report and that the Border Patrol is not allowed to engage anyone in the area. The Los Zetas force is a well-trained paramilitary group which is a splinter group belonging to the Mexican Army that was trained by the United States military. Please note in the review of the Judicial Watch report, listed below, that the cartels are intimately involved with the ISIS presence near the border.

ISIS is operating a camp just a few miles from El Paso, Texas, according to Judicial Watch sources that includes a Mexican Army field grade officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector. Yet, President Obama is completely ignoring this fact. This is a monumental national security issue and all we hear from the Obama administration officials are the proverbial crickets chirping. Obama is willing to chase ISIS into Syria and risk a confrontation with Russia, but he ignores this well-documented ISIS base camp which is located mere miles from the border and El Paso, Texas.

Stunning Revelation

The location of ISIS/cartel base camps. ISIS camps are reportedly located at El Paso, Big Bend National Forest and Laredo according to BP sources

My BP source informed that the BP helicopter was investigating what appeared to be waiting vehicles as the “troops” approached from the south. Again, I ask what is the role of Jade Helm? It is difficult to believe that these two events are not somehow connected. My source is certain that it was ISIS that fired upon the helicopter in a show of limited force. Limited force? ISIS has an almost unlimited supply of hand held stinger missiles. It is my source’s belief that ISIS is still trying to maintain a low profile until they go live and commence operations within the United States.

We know the Russians are here along with a growing Chinese troop presence. We are gaining proof by the day that ISIS is penetrating the perimeter of the United States with paramilitary forces. Is this the vanguard of an international martial law-enforcing army that will first bring chaos which will be followed by martial law? Will this result in an armed occupation involving foreign troops?

These events could give new meaning to the false flag event as this could be a false flag war in the making which is made possible because the Border Patrol is not allowed to engage. The area where the BP helicopter was attacked is only a hop, skip and a jump from routes that intersect with I-10 and I-35. If ISIS has etablished a corridor which grants them access to these routes, then they can strike anywhere and at anytime inside of the United States.

Why isn’t the military being stationed at these key points? Instead, we find dead zones, where almost no Border Patrol officials are stationed. How soon will it be until we see the following in American towns?

European Allies Fight Obama on Iran Nuke Deal

President Barack Obama huddled with allies Monday on the sidelines of an international summit to address pressing Mideast problems while trying to convince European leaders to maintain sanctions against Russia in the face of fresh violence in Ukraine.

Obama participated in the final day of the Group of Seven summit under the strain of an intimidating list of global pressures and little signs of movement to address them among the world's largest industrial democracies. Climate change and terrorism topped the official agenda, but leaders also grappled with Russia's aggressive moves on Ukraine, an upcoming nuclear deadline with Iran, tenuous trade pact politics and an impasse over Greece's international bailout.

Obama met privately with French President Francois Hollande, a sometimes skeptical partner in the talks with Iran over its nuclear weapons program.

Among the issues they discussed, the two leaders agreed to stay united in pursuit of a comprehensive agreement with several other world powers to keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, the White House said. They also agreed that sanctions against Russia should remain until the Kremlin fully abides by a peace agreement with Ukraine.

Violent Backlash Against Sweden’s Policy Of Flooding The Country With Dangerous Muslim Invaders

The Swedish government says it’s planning a strategy to challenge growing ‘Islamophobia’ following a string of arson attacks on mosques. Yet no plans to stem the soaring rape and crime rates attributed to Muslim immigrants?

The United Nations’ Human Rights organisation has expressed concern about the increasing number of hate crimes in Sweden, a country once regarded as one of the most tolerant in the world. The country’s main political parties have forged an alliance to try to isolate the increasingly popular anti-Muslim Sweden Democrats, who oppose the commitment to accept 100,000 asylum seekers a year from Syria and Iraq.

De-Dollarization Du Jour: Russia's Largest Bank Issues Yuan-Denominated Guarantees

The unipolar, dollar-dominated post-war world is shifting under Washington’s feet. 

Leading the push towards multipolarity and de-dollarization are a resurgent Russia and China, the rising superpower. The demise of the Bretton Woods world order is perhaps nowhere more apparent than in the launch of the BRICS bank and the establishment of the AIIB. These new structures represent a move away from US-dominated multilateral institutions and their very existence suggests that a failure to adapt to economic realities and an inability or unwillingness to meet the needs of the modern world may soon drive institutions like the IMF into irrelevancy. 

If the demise of the existing supranational economic order seems improbable, or if calls for its downfall appear at the very least to be premature, consider recent events. 

While the US obstructs efforts to reform the IMF and give member countries representation that’s commensurate with their economic clout, and as the Fund itself bickers with the EU over aid to Greece, the BRICS bank (which hasn’t even officially launched) has offered Greece a spot at the table with some reports suggesting Athens may be able to contribute its paid in capital in installments while receiving aid in the interim. 

China has pledged to invest some $50 billion in Pakistani infrastructure via Beijing’s Silk Road initiative and the AIIB. The money will fund power plants, roads, railways, and, perhaps most importantly, the Iran-Pakistan natural gas pipeline. The vast sum represents 53% more than the US has given Islamabad over the past 13 years combined. China is also set to invest an equally large sum in Brazil and is even considering the construction a railroad over the Andes, which would connect Brazil to China via the Pacific and ports in Peru. Meanwhile, lawmakers in Washington fight over whether infrastructure spending could have prevented an Amtrak derailment. 

When considering the above, it’s important to understand that the BRICS bank isn’t simply a channel by which rising EM powers can ban together to project their growing influence in the face of the multilateral institutions which they feel have left them underrepresented. Similarly, the AIIB is more than a foreign policy tool that will allow Beijing to establish regional dominance.

Both institutions will serve to accelerate de-dollarization. Russia, for instance, has proposed the establishment of a BRICS alternative to SWIFT. China, meanwhile, is set to ensure that the yuan plays an outsized role in lending through the AIIB. 

In yet another sign that Russia and China are set to work together to extricate themselves from a dependence on the dollar specifically and on Western financial institutions more generally, Russia’s largest bank has, for the first time, extended yuan-denominated letters of credit in concert with the Chinese Export-Import bank. 

More, via Sberbank:

Sberbank issued its maiden letters of credit with financing from The Export-Import Bank of China for Baikal Bank’s client JSC Pharmasyntez.

JSC Pharmasyntez approached Sberbank about the possibility to finance letters of credit in yuan (CNY) for the import contract to supply pharmaceutical products worth more than 29 mln yuan.

The first LCs with financing from The Export-Import Bank of China have allowed the client to meet its current working capital needs while continuing to actively cooperate with Chinese suppliers.

The development of cooperation with The Export-Import Bank of China expands Sberbank’s possibilities to finance clients’ foreign trade with Chinese counterparties.

Recall that last October, Russia and China opened a $25 billion currency swap line, an effort which not only serves to bolster ties between Moscow and Beijing in terms of investment and trade, but which also helps to secure Russia against the financial strain imposed by Western sanctions.
