Meteorite hits Nicaragua’s capital Managua: government

-






A late-night blast in the Nicaraguan capital of Managua was most likely caused by a small meteorite believed to have fallen into a wooded area on Saturday night. “All the evidence, that we've confirmed on-site, corresponds exactly with a meteorite and not with any other type of event," Jose Millan, from the Nicaraguan Institute of Earth Studies, was quoted by Reuters as saying. The meteorite is believed to have entered the Earth’s atmosphere with a 50 degree inclination, Univision reported. It fell in an inhabited area, close to a military base and west to the principal airport in Nicaragua. According to AFP, no one was injured and no flights were affected by the explosion which left a crater 12 meters in diameter and 5.5 meters deep. Authorities believe the meteorite was a piece of the asteroid “2014 RC” which passed close to the Earth on Sunday and was estimated to be about 20 meters big or the size of a house. Asteroid 2014 RC was discovered on August 31. At its closest approach to Earth, it passed over New Zealand at 18:18 GMT, and according to NASA it was about 40,000 kilometers away, posing no danger to the Earth.

Muslim Group to Charlie Hebdo: Don't Publish New Issue

An influential Muslim institution in Egypt has warned the French satirical magazine that was attacked by Islamist militants last week against publishing its new issue, which features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on its cover. Egypt's official Religious Edict Authority, known as Dar El Ifta, said the magazine, Charlie Hebdo, is unnecessarily provoking the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide who love and respect the Prophet. Charlie Hebdo's new issue, which was sent to the presses Monday night, features on its cover a cartoon of a bug-eyed Prophet Muhammad shedding a tear and holding a sign that says Je Suis Charlie, the now-popular phrase of solidarity with the magazine. http://nbcnews.to/1DVm8yb http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

FUKUSHIMA ..The Worst Lie That Has Ever Been Committed Against The Human Race!

OH NO!, THEY SAY! DON'T LET THE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THEN WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS... PROBLEMS, they say? The-Powers-That-Be are a group of sociopaths that cannot see beyond their own noses of greed, and in their haste to gather all of the world's monetary value and control, they have brought this on, with NO IDEA ON HOW TO CONTROL OR STOP IT! THEY HAVE OPENED THE PROVERBIAL PANDORA'S BOX AND NOW DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTAIN OR STOP THE APOCALYPSE THEY HAVE CREATED. So what do we do now? I don't know, and even the world's nuclear scientists don't know. What should have been done was not, and that would have been to take over Japan when this first occured, and employ every nuclear scientist together into a think-tank, to attempt to solve it. At this point in time, if the UN did this now, it would be like trying to close the barn door AFTER the livestock has already escaped. It's too late!!! They would have us believe that the vastness of our oceans...
