The Aether Cosmology FE Conceptual Model
https://alanspaceaudits.github.io/conceptual_flat_earth_model/
Alright. I want to be real clear about what this is, what it does, and — just as important — what it doesn't do, because people are going to compare it to everything else out there and I'd rather explain it ourselves than let the assumptions do it.
This is an interactive, browser-based simulator that models everything a single observer sees in the sky — from any location on earth, at any point in time. The sun, the moon, all five naked-eye planets, the full starfield, constellations, the day/night cycle, moon phases, lunar and solar eclipses. You pick your latitude and longitude, you pick the date and time, and the model shows you your sky. Exactly what you'd see looking up.
✦ ✦ ✦
There is not a single globe metric, globe factor variable, or globe-derived formula anywhere in this model. Not one.
No distance to the sun. No distance to the moon. No radius of the earth. None of it. Those numbers do not exist in this codebase. What we use instead is base elevation angles pulled directly from real observational data — timeanddate.com gives you the azimuth and elevation angle of any celestial body from any location, and that is the data we're working from. Trig from there. That's the whole pipeline.
The sun's position in the sky is derived from its right ascension and declination — which are observational coordinates, not model-dependent ones. Same for the moon. Same for Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury. We compute where each body sits in the sky relative to a given observer using coordinate transforms that go from the celestial frame directly into the observer's local frame. Azimuth out. Elevation out. Done.
Observer lat/long → local coordinate frame
Celestial RA/Dec → observer azimuth + elevation
Zero globe constants. Zero heliocentric distances.
All trig. All observation-grounded.
✦ ✦ ✦
This model makes no claim about physical distances. It doesn't need to. The observer's optical vault — the flattened dome onto which everything projects — is parameterized in unitless ratios of the disc radius. There is no number in this model that says "the sun is X miles up." The vault height is just a proportion. The math works regardless of what unit you assign to it.
What that means is: this is a pure kinematics model. It answers one question — given this observer position and this time, where does each body appear in the sky — and it answers it correctly, using nothing but the observed angles and periods that anyone can verify with their own equipment or with timeanddate.com.
✦ ✦ ✦
The sidereal day, the solar year, the lunar synodic and sidereal cycles, the 18.6-year nodal regression — all of those are baked in from observation. The model's ephemeris tracks the real sky to within a fraction of a degree for centuries in either direction.
The whole thing runs in the browser. No install. No plugins. Three.js for the 3D rendering. The starfield rotates with sidereal time. The moon phases are computed geometrically. Eclipses are found by searching for sun-moon conjunctions in real time — you can hit play and watch the 2024 total solar eclipse unfold from the sub-solar point.
You can move the observer anywhere. Watch how the star arcs flip when you cross the equator. Watch the sun's track change with the seasons. Watch how Polaris moves toward or away from your zenith as you travel north or south. Every one of those behaviors comes straight out of the geometry of the model with no hidden globe assumptions propping it up.
✦ ✦ ✦
This has been a long time coming. A lot of credit goes to Walter Bislin whose visual conventions this port preserves, and of course to the supporting community of Aether Cosmology: https://discord.gg/hFbNVYXJ

Discord - Group Chat That’s All Fun & Games
Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.
Funding extremist voices while targeting moderate ones. The process is called tipping and sorting. The process is outlined in a whitepaper titled "Containment control for a social network with state-dependent
connectivity". Promote the pushers while censoring the bridge builders.
These plans weren't the brainchild of the SPLC. The SPLC were just foot soldiers for ZOG. The plan came straight from the top and its the reason for all the social media censorship of reasonable discussion. The SPLC is merely doing exactly what the FBI itself does with paid informants.
One of the reasons they're "catching" the SPLC is precisely because it has outlived its usefulness. It is no longer as effective as they want so they'll fold up this organization and create a new one, or several dozen. Its not a distraction that they're taking down the SPLC; the act is one of pressure relief. Take down the SPLC so that dozens of more can grow.

🇫🇷 France to Vaccinate Nearly 1 Million More Cattle as Farmer Blockades Spread Over Herd Culls
The #agriculture minister said nearly one million additional bovines will be vaccinated in the South‑West, on top of roughly one million already immunized since July.
Mandatory #vaccination zones were expanded to Aude, Haute‑Garonne, Gers, Pyrénées‑Atlantiques and Landes, with cattle movements out of these areas limited to slaughter.
Farmer actions multiplied nationwide, with the Interior Ministry counting 43 operations and about 2,000 participants, including prolonged closures on the A64 and other roads.
Authorities report about 110 outbreaks identified to date across several departments, with most earlier clusters declared resolved.
Unions are split as the Confédération paysanne and Coordination rurale seek broader vaccination and selectiv culls,while FNSEA and Jeunes Agriculteurs back full depopulation to protect trade; the Occitanie region announced €300,000 in emergency

Amal died.
She was alive for so long talking to her family and colleagues from under the rubble. But the imps in the Lebanese presidency and prime ministry took all the time they needed to grovel at the feet of the enemy through the U.S. terrorist mechanism, untill Amal died of the wounds she sustained from the zionist strikes on Lebanese land.
I refuse to say "Israel violated the ceasefire". What ceasefire?
From day 1 ...WHAT ceasefire? Israel killed Lebanese civilians on DAY 1 of that ceasefire.
Khalas.
Burn down Israel.

A message from martyred journalist Amal Khalil... here is a translated transcript of her message:
"We have now completed a full year covering the Israeli aggression on South Lebanon. For an entire year, I have been in the field, day after day, as a correspondent for Al-Akhbar newspaper. This year has been heavy... it has changed us, matured us. It taught us to hold even tighter to our principles, to our beliefs, to the choice of resistance, and to the conviction that resistance alone protects the land, that it alone stands firm against the Israeli enemy, nothing else does.
To everyone who advised me to reduce my movement along the southern border, especially after the Israeli threats I received, my answer was this: our Hussaini faith and our southern, revolutionary upbringing have always taught us to say, "If only we had been with you." And the moment came for me to be with the people of the South the people of truth, who embody the cause of Karbala, who live its teachings. They stand in the face of a tyrant who kills, and in the face of oppression they remain steadfast, speaking the truth. Everything happening to the people of the South is simply because they dare to say "no."
[*call for prayers*: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah… I bear witness that there is no god but Allah."]
My alignment with the people of the South, my presence among them since the July 2006 war, has always been the right choice. They have always lived up to that faith placed in them. And they will remain so, even after loss. They will grow stronger, more steadfast, and more committed to this unwavering compass, toward truth, and toward Palestine."

Al Akhbar journalist Amal Al Khalil was deliberately murdered by the Zionists. They blocked aid and recovery until she died….under the rubble, perhaps still alive, trying to stay alive until rescue came, it never came. She was betrayed by her own regime, the US Ambassador another Zionist tool and left to die alone. Anyone who tries to two-side this regional conflict is lying to themselves. There is no power on earth right now that rivals the Zionist-US-Colonialist cabal in cruelty, savagery and barbarism, total inhumanity that extends into pure evil without touching the sides.
"It was Amal that fled and sought refuge in the building after you attacked her car
Amal has been declared dead after her body was located in the ruins of the building attacked by Israeli jets.
Amal has been murdered by Israel, who knew where Amal is.
They saw her face on their advanced drones. They heard her voice on her phone which they have access to like all cell towers in Lebanon.
This is who they killed" [Lebanese News and Updates on Telegram]

Iran Receives First Payment From Hormuz Toll, U.S. Seizes Another Tanker
Iran has collected its first revenue from tolls imposed on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, which is responsible for 20 percent of global oil and liquid natural gas shipments, Parliament Deputy Speaker Hamidreza Haji Babaei announced on April 23.
The development came just two days after United States President Donald Trump extended a two-week ceasefire with Iran following a request from Pakistan, saying it would remain in place until Tehran presents what he described as a “unified proposal.”
Earlier, Reuters revealed that the U.S. military has intercepted at least three Iranian-flagged tankers in Asian waters and is redirecting them away from their positions near India, Malaysia and Sri Lanka.
A four tanker was later seized in the Indian Ocean. The U.S. The Defense Department releases video footage of American forces on the deck of the Guyana-flagged oil tanker Majestic X.

France And Poland Discuss Joint Nuclear Exercises And Boost Defense Ties
Joint military exercises between France and Poland that include elements of nuclear deterrence are a dangerous step toward further escalating tensions with Russia. These activities cannot be viewed solely as deterrence, but as provocative moves, since, as the only nuclear state in the European Union, France is trying to position itself as the leading military power in the bloc and, based on its nuclear status, acts as an equal partner in dialogue with Russia.
French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the idea with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk during talks in Gdansk on April 20, when the two leaders also explored closer cooperation in trade, investment, and defense.
“Among the options we will consider are information sharing, joint exercises, and the possible deployment of forces,” Macron told a joint press conference when asked about nuclear cooperation.
Tusk said that discussions on nuclear security cooperation were being held discreetly, adding that Poland had joined “an exclusive group that understands the need for European solidarity and sovereignty” by accepting France’s invitation.
