An asteroid believed to be carrying up to 90 million tons of platinum in its core, along with other rare and precious materials, is about to pass our planet.

The platinum-rich asteroid worth about £3.5 trillion ($5.4 trillion) is officially named 2011 UW158. It is 452 meters by 1,011 meters in size and will pass Earth at a distance of an estimated 2.4 million kilometers, according to the Goldstone Radar Observatory. It will be 30 times closer to Earth than the closest planet of the Solar system.

The space rock has attracted the attention of asteroid mining company Planetary Resources, because it is thought to have a core of platinum that the company might one day want to exploit

Russian President Vladimir Putin is a patient man, known for his ability to quietly absorb insults for decades before ensuring revenge is served at a time that suits him. But even Putin is getting tired of hearing Joe Biden attempt to blame him for rampant inflation in the US. According to Putin, the reason for runaway inflation in the US and Western world is quite simple. The US has been printing greenbacks like they are going out of fashion. As Putin pointed out in his speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum this week, the US has increased its money supply by a staggering 38 percent in the past two years. Putin isn’t the only person calling BS on Biden’s inept attempt to spin inflation as “Putin’s price hike.” A recent poll revealed that only a tiny minority of Americans believe Biden when he tries to blame someone, anyone, other than the Democrats and their disastrous left wing “free money” policies. Just 11% of Americans believe Putin is to blame for record high gas prices in the US, according to a Rasmussen poll published Tuesday. The majority instead have pointed the finger at Joe Biden. Let’s face it, nobody ever voted for a Democrat for his or her economic prowess, but surely even a senile Democrat career politician like Joe Biden understands that turning on the money printers will cause inflation. Putin is furious with Biden and not because of the personal smear of the “Putin’s price hike” nonsense. He is furious with Biden for obliterating global markets. So there you have it. Sometimes you need to let an adult take the floor and explain the situation. Putin has delivered an almighty slap to Joe Biden and put him in his place. Unfortunately very few people will be fortunate enough to hear Putin’s words as western mainstream media does not allow his words to reach an audience in the West. When he makes sense like this, sometimes you have to ask yourself why they are so afraid.

Putin Delivers Biden an Almighty Slap: 'Don’t Blame Me For Inflation'

As you are no doubt aware, the global elite are making moves to have people “own nothing and be happy.” The world will be controlled by an authoritarian one-world government and humanity, according to Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum, will be enslaved in a totalitarian system featuring mass surveillance, mandatory vaccinations and desperate servitude. Making matters even worse, the global elite are boasting about their plans for humanity in advance. It wouldn’t be so bad if the WEF wasn’t so influential. In 2017, Klaus Schwab openly bragged about his organization’s ability to infiltrate governments across the globe. At the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics, he discussed how the WEF’s modus operandi is to penetrate governments by installing its “Young Global Leaders.” In recent years, we have seen this modus operandi play out. The WEF has infiltrated governments across the world, with every left-voting nation firmly under their control. Make no mistake, these Young Global Leaders, including Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, and Jacinda Ardern, are working fervently to roll out the agenda of the global elite. Now a stunning video has surfaced in which Nestle CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe claims that water is not a human right and must be privatized and controlled by the elites. Brabeck-Letmathe, the now Chairman of one of the biggest corporations and the largest food product manufacturer in the world, believes corporations should own all the water on the planet, and no one should be allowed to have access to it unless they pay. At a time when inflation has gone double-digit, food production plants are burning down, the supply chain is in crisis, and food shortages are on the horizon, we now understand that the elites want to seize control of the planet’s water. So, is water a free and basic human right, or should all the water on the planet belong to major corporations and the elite? Should the poor who cannot afford to pay these said corporations suffer from starvation due to their lack of financial wealth? That is the future of humanity according to the global elites.

World Economic Forum Pushing Credit Card That ‘Cuts Off’ Users Who Overspend Carbon Credits Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum is pushing a credit card that will track your carbon consumption and cut you off when you have “used up all your carbon credits.” Doconomy is a credit card endorsed by the fascists at the World Economic Forum that tracks the “environmental impact” of everything you buy (including food) and refuses to let you purchase items when you are deemed to be a net polluter. Never mind if you have a family at home and you need to put food on the table. The World Economic Forum will track you and cut you off from your hard-earned money if you have been a bad person and used too many carbon credits this week. It’s presented as an “educational effort,” according to one of the founders. Mastercard has gone full woke and will “team up” with Doconomy. Welcome to the “Great Reset” in the world of finance.

To us they are unmistakable – famous faces who would be recognized anywhere in the world. So perhaps that is why they chose to travel back in time to a world without TV, internet, and paparazzi – for complete anonymity. Either that or they have traveled forward in time to join us in 2022, on a mission to right wrongs and change the future. As physicist Stephen Hawking pointed out in his book Black Holes and Baby Universes in 1994, “The best evidence we have that time travel is not possible, and never will be, is that we have not been invaded by hordes of tourists from the future.” But Stephen Hawking hadn’t seen these photos of famous faces appearing throughout different eras in history. If he had, perhaps he would say that they are evidence that time travel is possible, because we seem to have been invaded by hordes of famous faces from the past. 1. NICHOLAS CAGE This picture, said to have been taken in 1870 of a man from Bristol, Tennesse, is a dead ringer for Hollywood legend Nicholas Cage. In 2011 it was put up for auction on eBay for one million dollars. It immediately led to claims it was a photoshopped hoax, but the seller, Jack Mord of Seattle, Washington, maintains to this day that he stumbled across the original print.Mr Mord claimed in the listing it was actual photographic proof that Cage is a real vampire who has lived for hundreds of years. He said: “150 years from now he might be a politician, the leader of a cult or a talk show host.” 2. JOHN TRAVOLTA Around the same time this bizarre image of a man that looks just like John Travolta was also put up for sale by a separate seller who claimed to be unconnected to Mr Mord. The two portraits were linked together by the fact that the pair starred together in Face/Off, and it led to further claims they must have been edited pictures.The unnamed seller from Ontario said he was inspired by Mr Mord to put his Travolta print up for sale. He wanted $50,000 for the 1860 picture. He wrote: “I know you are saying John Travolta is alive today in 2011 and he doesn’t look 151 years old.“John Travolta is a Scientologist, and many Scientologists believe in a type of reincarnation. Of course, time travel can’t be ruled out as well.” 3. VLADIMIR PUTIN As conspiracy theories go it is pretty “out there”, but some people claim the Russian president can time travel or is an immortal vampire. Historic pictures emerged of two men taken in 1920 and 1941 who look like remarkably similar slightly younger versions of Vladimir Putin, now aged 63. It has led some people to claim Putin is a time traveler from a previous era, sent to the present to right wrongs and kick ass. The picture, taken in 1920, is of a Russian solider who does look like the leader. A separate snap said to be of a Russian solider and taken in 1941 also looks like Putin and the 1920 individual. 4. JAY-Z This photo of rapper Jay-Z – or his unnamed doppelgänger – was taken in the rapper’s home of Brooklyn back in 1939. Jay-Z recently became the first hip-hop billionaire. He’s also pretty open about selling his soul to the devil, praising Lucifer during many of his performances. Could he also be a time traveler from another dimension? 5. EDDIE MURPHY Eddie Murphy has been time traveling since the 1920s, according to this picture of an unnamed man of the day. 6. BRUCE WILLIS Bruce Willis actually honed his action hero skills by playing a major role in the Pacific theatre during the Second World War, according to one theory. The Die Hard star’s doppelgänger is a WW2 military legend named General Doug MacArthur. 7. LEONARDO DICAPRIO Leonardo DiCaprio was officially born in the mid-seventies. But one image that went viral showed his exact double – a woman pictured in the early sixties named Judy Zipper. 8. SYLVESTER STALLONE Sylvester Stallone is famed for his action movie roles in the 1980s and the catchphrase “don’t push me”. But one staggering piece of art showed another famous face in history who is his spitting image. The incredible painting of Pope Gregory IX in the thirteenth century shows the former Catholic church leader is an exact double for the Rocky star. 9. MICHAEL CERA A man looking just like Superbad actor Michael Cera was discovered in 1930s Germany. It prompted theories the Canadian actor traveled back in time as a spy to infiltrate the Nazis, or that he is even a spy sent forward from the past to infiltrate Hollywood. 10. KEANU REEVES Hiding in plain sight in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, is this 1530 painting entitled “Portrait of a Man,” which many believe must have been Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves on a time travel mission.The mysterious star shot to fame in 1989 with the time-travel comedy Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. 11. JENNIFER LAWRENCE Was Jennifer Lawrence an actor – in 1950s Egypt? Many people believe the X-Men star was Egyptian actor Zubaida Tharwat.

Global elites who have been running the world in recent decades, working in concert to usher in a New World Order, have been defeated according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who used his speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Friday to warn that a “change of elites” in the West is just around the corner. Disastrous liberal policies undertaken by EU and US leaders are exacerbating inequalities and divisions in their societies, not just in terms of welfare but in terms of values and orientations of various groups, Putin said. The global elite have been exposed and are set to face the wrath of the people in the kind of reckoning not seen since the days of the guillotine in the streets of 17th century Paris. Putin says that elite blue blood is set to run in the streets all over again. According to Putin, another revolution is just around the corner. Humanity has woken up to the elites and revenge, when it comes, will be swift and appropriate. The New World Order is gone with the wind, in other words. The people of the world have spoken and they have rejected the New World Order’s plans to turn them into cattle or “useless eaters”.

Following the recent spate of fires at food facilities across the United States, experts are now warning that the sudden deaths of thousands of cattle might be related as part of a sinister plot to create mass food shortages in America. According to the mainstream media, the deaths of thousands of cattle in Kansas this week are the result of “heat.” Yet cows are incredibly resilient and frequently ensure the high temperates the Midwest is experiencing right now, so that explanation doesn’t wash. Residents took video footage of thousands of these cows laying dead on a field. So why are thousands of cattle suddenly dropping dead? It’s possible there is a deliberate and orchestrated take down of the economy and food supply… Many Americans are waking up to the very real possibility that  their government is at war with the people. They are deliberately destroying the energy infrastructure and obliterating the economy. They are crashing the markets and tearing down the food supply, thrusting the American people into food scarcity, food inflation and famine.

41-year-old pop star Christina Aguilera performed her greatest hits in front of an audience of children while wearing giant fake male genitalia. Throughout the performance Aguilera changed into multiple ensembles that featured cone-shaped nipples and fake testicles. Aguilera also mimed the act of masturbating the fake penis during the performance, as if the performance wasn’t already completely unsuitable for children. It’s not the first time Christina Aguilera has used her platform to behave inappropriately in front of children. Remember the time she posed with Donald Duck at Disney in front of children with her pierced nipple exposed? If they behave like this in public, it makes you wonder how they behave with children behind closed doors.

It has long been claimed that Hollywood stars need to join the Illuminati to make it to the top of the entertainment industry, but few people outside of the Illuminati inner-circle truly understand what this means. That has started to change as celebrities who have been subjected to the Illuminati system break down and leak inside information exposing the true inner workings of Hollywood and the entertainment industry. One example of this is a stunning video that surfaced in which Angelina Jolie reveals the true inner workings of Hollywood as she describes her experiences participating in “secret illuminati rituals.” At times Angelina looks crazed and possessed while describing the experiences she had with the Illuminati secret society. She explains that she killed a snake as a sacrifice and was branded as part of the initiation ritual. The video also reveals that Jolie had previously shown a recording of an Illuminati ritual to one of her friends, which left her friend truly disturbed. Nothing has changed since Angelina Jolie was a young woman attempting to break into the entertainment industry. Megan Fox recently let slip that she also participates in gruesome Illuminati blood rituals. What do young stars need to make it in Hollywood and the entertainment industry? Looks? Talent? Hard work? No. They have to sell their souls to the devil. And not figuratively. That’s EXACTLY what they do. Let’s review the case of English pop star Charlie XCX for example. For years, Charli XCX had been working relentlessly to move up in the music industry. Since 2013, she released five albums to critical acclaim while winning industry trophies. However, despite her relative success, Charlie XCX still could not be called a “major pop star”. So what was missing? She had yet to sell her soul to the devil and join the Illuminati. That all changed last year and CharlieXCX suddenly shot to the top of the charts and became a “major pop star.” In a rather blatant Instagram post, Charli wrote “tip for new artists: sell your soul for money and fame”. Along with this caption are symbolic pictures, including this satanic g-string. In another post, Charli wrote “baby’s blood” with an emoji representing a martini glass – implying that this blood is being ingested. This is a reference to the occult elite’s favorite obsession: Consuming human blood and flesh. Shortly before Halloween, Charli posted a pic depicting a satanic blood ritual. Because that’s what they actually do around this time of year. The album art of Crash depicts Charli being “killed” in a car crash. The subtle one-eye sign created by her strategically placed hair indicates that this is all occult symbolism. In a post celebrating her success, Charli posted a picture of her laying in a casket. But is it worth it for these entertainment industry celebrities? We’ll let Charli’s own Instagram post answer that question. The caption of this post is “tip for new artist: it only gets worse”. The high heels and the chain refer to the sexual slavery of industry pawns.

The Slooh Community Observatory is undertaking a project, which links powerful telescopes to the internet for public use and they will be broadcasting images of the mineral-rich asteroid live on their website from an observatory in the Canary Islands.

You will be able to watch UW158 live from 11pm UK time (6.30pm ET) at  Slooh’s Live Stadium

RT reports: The proximity of asteroid’s orbit to Earth has already put it on the ‘wish list’ for future robotic mining missions. According to different estimates, it might contain ore of precious metals and other minerals worth from $300 billion, to an incredible $5.4 trillion.

The composition of asteroid 2011 UW158 has been established with the help of spectrometers measuring the intensity of light reflected from an object.

The broadcast from Slooh will include commentary from network’s host Eric Edelman and Slooh astronomer Bob Berman about the asteroid itself and the “lucrative material it harbors.”

“It’s always fun when an asteroid whooshes past our world,” Berman said in a Slooh announcement. “What makes this unusual is the large amount of platinum believed to be lurking in the body of this space visitor. Can it be mined someday, perhaps not too far in the future?”

The so-called Planetary Resources group, an asteroid mining venture with financial backing from Google bosses Eric Schmidt and Larry Page, as well as British billionaire Richard Branson, defines asteroids like UW-158 as suitable for mining ‘X-type,’ having catalogued dozens of similar prospective targets across the solar system.

On Thursday, the company launched their first demonstration of the Arkyd 3 Reflight (A3R) vehicle from the International Space Station’s Kibo airlock – to test technologies for mining asteroids.

The vehicle was delivered to the ISS aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 in April. During its 90-day orbiting mission, the vehicle will be sending data to a group of scientists based at the firm’s headquarters in Redmond, WA.
