"Last night (9/27/2024), at about 11pm I heard the most horrifying shrieking sound outside of the house. It sounded almost human, and every dog within our radius was going crazy."The following account was forwarded to me:"I live in the middle of nowhere (Siskiyou County, California), with a track record of cryptid and paranormal activity, however, I’ve never expected to have any personal experiences.Last night (9/27/2024), at about 11pm I heard the most horrifying shrieking sound outside of the house. The strangest part was the sound wasn’t coming from any one direction. It was like surround sound the way it was coming from every angle. It sounded almost human, and every dog within our radius was going crazy.We live rurally and it’s not uncommon to hear foxes, bobcats, coyotes, and mountain lions at night. When we hear them, typically the neighbor's dogs from whatever direction the sound came from go nuts for a few minutes, and then the peaceful quiet resumes. That was not the case last night. The dogs from the neighbors on the left, right, and behind us were going INSANE, barking and howling and even making loud whining sounds. I feel the need to add each neighbor is about a .5-1 mile away as well. The shrieking continued several times and each time it was that surrounding sound; not coming from any identifiable direction.Aside from the shrieking and the dogs, it was silent outside - no insects, no birds (we have lots of owls), nothing. I had this sense of dread in the pit of my stomach and felt like something was watching me from outside. I’ve never experienced anything like it in our time living out here.We’re about an hour north of Mt. Shasta and I know there are a lot of weird things associated with the area but it was such a bone-chilling experience and I’m honestly a bit nervous for nightfall tonight.One really interesting thing was that I started praying, fervently. As soon as I did, all the creepy noises stopped. The shrieking and the barking all went quiet and the insects and birds started back up. It was so bizarre.Do you have any idea where the shrieking may have been coming from? I feel silly, but I just can’t shake the experience and figured if you would have any ideas what it could be?" JNOTE: Because of the location, it may have been a Sasquatch or cryptid canine. Lon**********GIANTS! LEGENDS BASED ON TRUTH? LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!

I am asked that question quite a bit, but I can only answer with the information I have been given. Many of you know of the David Eckhart family alien ordeal, but there have been other revelations as well.Emil Streinu has always claimed that Reptilians exist and that they have huge underground bases/cities, but that is as far as he will go. He concludes his conversations by stating...'I’m not going any further on this subject.'Emil Streinu is a retired general of the Romanian army and the current president of the Greater Romania Party. He has published numerous books, articles, and research studies about airspace radar and the UFO phenomenon. Streinu is a founding member of the Association for the Study of Phenomena Aerospace Unidentified.He has written about a good friend of his who had seen two Reptilian beings in the early morning in the Retezat Mountains in the Carpathians. His friend is a military figure as well, a high-ranking officer specialized in commando warfare, who asked that his identity to remain undisclosed. Streinu also mentioned that his friend is not a fan of either sci-fi or ufology and states that he trusts his friend above any doubt.The events took place as follows:"The high ranking officer, lets call him Colonel X, was driving back from a short camping trip, which he took alone in the mountains. He was driving to Bucharest when his car signaled that it was low on gas, so he pulled into a small rural gas station.It was 5:00 - 5:10 AM, so nobody was around. Colonel X noticed a khaki Hummer with black windows parked outside the gas station with the engine on, but nobody around it.After filling up his tank, he paid and headed back to his SUV. But then he noticed that the driver's door of the Hummer was opened and inside it he saw a Reptilian being. The Reptilian had no clothes but it was wearing military boots; he/it was entirely covered with green scales and had a lizard-type crest on the head.The Reptilian saw Colonel X, then he got out of the car unhindered, while still staring at him. He directed some sharp sounds at someone from inside the car, this time looking irritated, then got back at the wheel and quickly drove away. The car had no license plates, either on the front or back.Colonel X estimated the Reptilian to be 2 meters tall, with yellow eyes with cat type slits.The Colonel looked around to see if someone else had witnessed the event, but he was alone. Then he noticed the gas station's video camera. Unfortunately, the salesman told him that the camera was "just for decoration" and had no practical use, other than scare any potential robbers. Thinking that this was a very well played hoax, he got back into the car and continued his journey.After several miles, he saw the same Hummer with all four doors opened. Further, outside the road, he noticed two dark green Reptilians that seemed to be arguing. The second Reptilian was slightly taller than the first one. He wasn't wearing clothes or boots. He had lizard-type feet and unlike the first one, he had a tail.On the street, vehicles were passing by in both directions and the drivers were pointing at the creatures, but nobody pulled over. Then, Colonel X got his mobile phone out and took several photographs of the Reptilians that were totally careless of this event.After 3-5 minutes, the two Reptilians got back into the car and drove back in the direction they initially came from, driving at high speed. The Colonel looked again at the pictures from his mobile phone and rushed for Bucharest in order to contact Streinu and together decide what to do with the astonishing pictures.Back in Bucharest, the phone was clearly showing 11 pictures, but all of them were completely green. Together with Streinu, they headed to a phone service company, but they couldn't help. It was like the Colonel had photographed a bright green light.For two weeks they analyzed the story in great detail and searched for witnesses, but all efforts ended up in failure."Strainu later stated: 'Only one thing is sure: we live in a world that we only THINK we know, having a false impression that we are its masters. In fact, we are only subtenants in transit, on a planet that never belonged to us and having no idea what our purpose really is...'For a few years, I had posted several accounts about Reptilian commandos in the New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina. These were revelations asserted by a former New Orleans police officer named Matt R.The Secret History of the Reptilians: The Pervasive Presence of the Serpent in Human History, Religion and Alien MythosMeet the Hybrids: The Lives and Missions of ET Ambassadors on EarthThe Dulce Wars: Underground Alien Bases and the Battle for Planet EarthAn Overview of Extraterrestrial Races: Who is Who in the Greatest Game of History**********GIANTS!

"We passed beside a small group of dark-skinned humanoid, dog-like people. I feel bad calling them that. They have a name, I just can't remember it."I received the following account: "Hello, Lon. I come from a family of abductees. During my life I have had several experiences, starting with seeing a large hexagonal UFO, the kind that blends into the night sky and that you can only make out the outline as it cloaks itself. Later I experienced shining lights coming through my ceiling, and eventually I began experiencing vivid memories of piloting a ship and being of an alien race, traveling to unique worlds, some of which I called home. Over the years I have had many experiences of being educated aboard a ship (in human form), and I was always a very active, questioning and disruptive participant. I am always trying to get people on the ships to open their minds up to new ideas, think differently and also to get off the ships and onto worlds.Most recently I experienced being on a ship once more. I was lead through a corridor by a hybrid scientist, he was mostly human in appearance but with wrinkled, thick grey skin and wearing a lab coat. We passed beside a small group of dark-skinned humanoid, dog-like people. I feel bad calling them that. They have a name, I just can't remember it. There were about 12 or so of them there. They were good looking, not quite human, but were so familiar, like a very close relative of human beings with something different about them that was jarring. They reminded me of Australian aboriginal people in complexion, features such as eyebrows, eye shape, smile, lips and hair color and texture. But they had sharp canine teeth, dark dog like noses and the men had a lot of facial hair. The men and women wore animal skin clothing. The women were mostly of older age, wore long cloaks and were hunched over and huddled together and they seemed to be feeling cold. The men wore less, more like loin cloths and were of varying ages. The scientist was very nervous in proximity to these people and tried to hurry me past down the hallway. He felt they were wild animals. In a telepathic environment, you just know how others feel, they don't have to say it or explain their feelings, they just are what they are.I was approached by one of the men very insistently, he came very close into my physical space and he flashed his eyes at me urgently - they glowed bright green like cat eyes do. He was very passionate, animated and intense, and I was attracted to him, he smelled nice. He told me (telepathically) that he was lonely, that his people wanted to get off the ship, that genetically they were dying and had a very small gene pool and that they needed to start meeting people. It wasn't just to reproduce of course, they were very social beings. He had a lot to say and felt that I could help explain it to the scientist because he wasn't listening.The scientist wanted to punish the man for being disobedient and I was appalled. I had a very good feeling about them culturally as a group and felt that they would fit in very well on Earth. Both the dog man and the scientist received my feelings on the matter- in a telepathic environment its all pretty obvious when someone hears you. The scientist was surprised at my reaction. This was another experience of dealing with grey hybrid humans and sort of shaking my head at their oblivious ways. They know so much but there is a lot they don't understand. I was definitely more interested in the people in the corridor than whatever the hybrid scientist was taking me to do. I don't remember anything after this point. Later, I was unnerved by my attraction to a non-human. But I guess it was close enough." ANOTE: Is it possible that all or some upright canines (let alone, Bigfoot) are actually alien hybrids or engineered beings? It's a theory that some researchers have presented before.

You may not be aware of it, but all of these articles were assigned, contracted and paid for, so they aren't considered public domain. However, we appreciate that you like the article and would love it if you continued sharing just the first paragraph of an article, then linking out to the rest of the piece on Catster.com. Click to Skip Ahead How Pet Telehealth Works Types of Pet Telehealth Where It’s Used Advantages Disadvantages FAQ Pet parents are more cautious and attentive than ever nowadays, leading more of us to overreact when things seem amiss with our cats. While some issues genuinely demand immediate care, many concerns are minor, making us sometimes feel we wasted our time and our vets’ time, as well as stressing our cat out, with what probably could have been an email or phone call. Thankfully, we now have a middle ground that saves us that effort while providing valuable peace of mind: pet telehealth. Virtual vet visits are growing in popularity, streamlining the healthcare process for everyone at home and in the vet’s office. Let’s explore how pet telehealth can work for your cat and why you may benefit from these cost-effective services. How Does Pet Telehealth Work? Many companies offer pet telehealth services, which connect users with veterinary experts through a virtual portal. Users set up an account for their pets and schedule virtual visits or connect immediately with a professional. Some telehealth services use websites, while others have iOS or Android apps or a combination of all three platforms. Many provide 24/7 vet access to assist owners at any time of day, helping them potentially avoid emergency vet visits. While televisits often involve video calls, you can usually also chat with vets or call or text them on the phone to exchange videos and pictures. Telehealth services give cat owners an easy route to answer medical questions by connecting them with vets, behavioral specialists, nutritionists, trainers, and other experts. Typical pet telehealth offerings include: Cat-raising advice regarding nutrition, exercise, enrichment, and training Medical information about diseases, allergies, and other concerns Teletriage: Providing remote health assessments to recommend treatment or provide emergency referrals First aid guidance Telemedicine, the branch of telehealth dealing with diagnoses and treatment, depends on the service and your state’s laws. Vets can sometimes prescribe certain medications without requiring in-person visits. Many services add further convenience by connecting you with vets who write prescriptions and provide prescription shipping all in one place. Image Credit: Prostock-studio, Shutterstock What Are the Different Types of Pet Telehealth? Telehealth platforms vary in the services they offer and their payment structure. Individual visits can range from being completely free to costing a few hundred dollars. It all depends on the extent and quality of the service and the vet. Some platforms work on subscriptions, where a monthly or annual fee provides multiple virtual vet visits and account management features like personalized care plans, pet health trackers, and reminders. You can use telehealth services to get general advice from a remote professional or connect with your usual local vet on a remote platform. Popular telehealth services include: Pangovet Chewy Connect with a Vet Pawp Dutch BondVet If your vet uses telehealth as part of their practice, you can schedule check-ins and ask questions from your home. You can enjoy many benefits of a regular visit, including refilling prescriptions. Pet telehealth is also popping up as a perk for membership with different groups. Walmart, for instance, added a Pawp plan for its Walmart+ customers. Meanwhile, AirVet began specializing in working with businesses to make pet telehealth an employee benefit. As cat parents increasingly prioritize their pets’ health and quality of life, more organizations are leveraging offers like pet telehealth, paw-ternity leave, and pet insurance to entice customers and quality employees. Speak To a Vet Online From the Comfort of Your Couch! If you need to speak with a vet but can’t get to one, head over to PangoVet. It’s an online service where you can talk to a vet online and get the personalized advice you need for your pet — all at an affordable price! Click to Speak With a Vet Where Is It Used? Pet telehealth services are widely available. Users can access them for general health help from anywhere, though telemedicine options are much more limited. While vets can offer advice and information on a telehealth service without previously examining an animal, they can’t diagnose or prescribe medications if they didn’t establish a veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) in an in-person appointment. A VCPR is crucial for vets to become familiar with your pet, keep records, and supervise follow-ups and ongoing care. Remote VCPR through a telehealth platform is only legal in a handful of states, including: Arizona California Idaho New Jersey Vermont Virginia Rules vary by state, and some prescriptions are unavailable through telemedicine visits. Laws have been evolving rapidly in recent years, and more states will likely ease restrictions to allow remote VCPR to expand pet treatment options outside the clinic. Advantages of Pet Telehealth Telehealth services are affordable solutions for cat owners who can’t pay for a vet visit or live too far away to make the trip. After hours, being able to contact an expert can also provide reassurance so you don’t have to make unnecessary trips to the emergency vet. Telehealth helps clinics and pet parents. Owners get faster assistance and can schedule earlier appointments if their usual vet is booked out. Plus, cats avoid the stress of car rides and vet offices. As you use these services, you also reduce the number of patients waiting at the vet, helping them receive better, faster care for their cats in the clinic. Pet telehealth can provide answers and advice for minor and severe health concerns, with some offering at-home care suggestions and OTC treatment options. With telehealth services, more cats can get better care, particularly those who wouldn’t typically go to the vet at all. Image Credit: imtmphoto, Shutterstock Disadvantages of Pet Telehealth Though many have seen the benefits of pet telehealth following its wide use during the pandemic, some experts oppose expanding the power of telehealth vets. An essential issue is telemedicine and VCPR. The AVMA and other industry associations advocate for in-person visits before they can perform remote diagnosis and provide prescriptions. The concern is that vets can only rely on an owner’s assistance and interpretation of health issues during remote visits. Cats can’t communicate their problems. Owners can easily misidentify an issue as a result, causing them to waste money and prolong their pets’ suffering. With an in-person VCPR, vets can evaluate cats and meet their caretakers to understand unique challenges and formulate optimal treatment plans. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Does Pet Insurance Cover Pet Telehealth for Cats? Since pet insurance providers reimburse you after you pay the vet up front, coverage depends less on which telehealth service you use and more on which pet insurance you pick. Several companies provide coverage for telehealth visits up to a certain amount. Others partner with telehealth companies or have in-house telehealth services they give customers free of charge. Meanwhile, some companies don’t cover telehealth at all. As more owners opt for telehealth’s flexibility, more pet insurance companies will look for solutions for their customers. If you’re in a position where telehealth makes more sense for your cat, research which pet insurance companies offer the best value. Image Credit: Dmytro Zinkevych, Shutterstock Which Medications Can Pet Telehealth Vets Prescribe? Getting prescriptions through any telehealth service primarily depends on where you live and your relationship with the vet. Generally, vets can make remote prescriptions if they have already established a VCPR in an in-person appointment and have seen them in person in the last 12 months. Since state laws differ, vets may be unable to offer certain medications or treatments without seeing the pet in their office. Your telehealth vet won’t prescribe medications if you don’t have a VCPR. A few states allow you to establish a VCPR through telehealth communication, but the laws vary and limit what your vet can offer. For instance, telehealth vets can prescribe flea and tick or heartworm medications. Controlled substances, antimicrobials, and other more powerful or targeted drugs require in-person visits. Still, places like Idaho don’t allow any telehealth prescriptions with a remote VCPR, so it’s helpful to be aware of the legal details for your state. Conclusion Pet telehealth is creating a new era of customer convenience and improved pet welfare. Connecting with an expert who can assess your cat, provide information, suggest at-home care, and direct you to the most effective solutions takes minutes. You save time, effort, and money while your cat enjoys a faster path to relief. Though they don’t replace the value of in-person vet visits, telehealth services fill the gaps to answer questions and promote a better quality of life for our pets.

After suffering a series of losses before the U.S. Supreme Court, leftists in Congress are once again trying to remake the court to suit their own political purposes. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., on Thursday introduced the Judicial Modernization and Transparency Act, which would expand the number of Supreme Court justices from nine to 15 over the next 12 years, radically reshaping the federal judiciary. According to the provisions of Wyden’s legislation, federal circuit and district courts would also be expanded, adding 60 new circuit judges and at least 100 new district judges. “The Supreme Court is in crisis and bold solutions are necessary to restore the public trust,” Wyden said in a press release. “More transparency, more accountability, and more checks on a power-hungry Supreme Court are just what the American people are asking for.” But they’re not, according to polls. A survey published late last month revealed that nearly 60% of Americans oppose adding justices to the Supreme Court and agree that efforts “to expand the membership of the U.S. Supreme Court are primarily motivated by political objectives.” Additionally, 57% of Americans believe that a separate branch of government (such as Congress) imposing an “ethics code” on the Supreme Court would undermine its authority and threaten the independence of the judiciary. Yet an “ethics code” is also part of Wyden’s proposed legislation. His bill would force all justices to respond publicly to recusal motions and forcibly recuse a justice from a case “upon the affirmative vote of” his fellow justices. The bill would also demand “the public disclosure of how each justice voted for any case within the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court” and would give the Internal Revenue Service sweeping authority to regularly audit justices and publish the results of their audits. Furthermore, the legislation would require either the Supreme Court or an appellate court to have a two-thirds “supermajority” in order to reverse congressional acts found to be unconstitutional. Democrats have been working to undermine the Supreme Court’s authority since last year, when several smear campaigns were launched in the media, primarily targeting Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, both of whom were part of the court majority that overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Thomas and Alito were accused of unethical conduct related to expense-paid vacations with wealthy friends and Republican donors. Alito was subsequently targeted for his conservative political views and the political views of his wife, including the publication of secret recordings in which Alito and his wife discussed their Catholic faith with a reporter who was posing as a conservative at a Supreme Court Historical Society dinner. The reports were met with calls from Democrats, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, for Thomas and Alito to resign from the bench. Earlier this summer, President Joe Biden introduced his own plans for weakening the nation’s highest court via constitutional amendments: enforcing an “ethics code” devised by Congress and imposing 18-year term limits on justices, which would immediately take effect and remove Thomas, Alito, and Chief Justice John Roberts from the court. Biden also introduced plans to undo the court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity. In her dissent from the court’s majority opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor controversially suggested that Biden might order a Navy SEAL team to assassinate former President Donald Trump. Two weeks later, a would-be assassin shot Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Conservatives in Congress have pledged to oppose Biden’s Supreme Court “reform” proposals, many of which are similar (though less expansive) than Wyden’s. Indirectly responding to the Democrats’ designs on the court, Justice Neil Gorsuch asked last month, “The independent judiciary … what does it mean to you as an American?” Gorsuch continued: “It means that when you’re unpopular you can get a fair hearing, under the law and under the Constitution. If you’re in the majority, you don’t need judges and juries to hear you and protect your rights—you’re popular.” He asked again: “Don’t you want a ferociously independent judge and a jury of your peers to make those decisions? Isn’t that your right as an American? And so I just say, ‘Be careful.’” Originally published by The Washington Stand The post Dems Hatch Another Plot to Pack Supreme Court appeared first on The Daily Signal.

When Kyle Rittenhouse shot three men — who were all strangers to each other — he was unaware that each man had a criminal history. Rittenhouse was simply defending himself and Kenosha from a left-wing mob. “What are the odds of three strangers with crazy perverted independent criminal histories being together like that on the street?” Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” asks. “It seems like that’s an insane amount of creeps and criminals to be gathered in a small area all at the same time,” she continues, noting that “most things involving leftists tend to attract a pretty nasty crowd.” Now the suspected would-be Trump shooter's son, Oran Routh, was arrested on Tuesday after police searched his Greensboro, North Carolina, home “in connection with an investigation, unrelated to child exploitation.” Allegedly, the police found “hundreds of files depicting child sexual abuse.” “It’s really an odd twist in this saga that nobody saw coming,” Wheeler mocks, explaining that Routh claimed his father hated president Trump and was quoted saying that “every reasonable person does.” “The son sounded just like his father, who sounded like an indoctrinated leftist activist, who sounded exactly like the talking heads in the mainstream media,” she adds. However, as always, it’s innocent until proven guilty — as it should be. “We shouldn’t just believe the authorities automatically,” Wheeler explains. “We know for a fact that the Department of Justice lies for political and self-protecting purposes all the time, but that doesn’t seem to pass the smell test here.” “If you dabble in evil ideology, evil leftist ideology, it will invariably lead you to evil of the most twisted kind.”Want more from Liz Wheeler?To enjoy more of Liz’s based commentary, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Democratic President Joe Biden didn't ease concerns about his mental capacity when asked to comment about military strikes in Yemen. 'Never forget the Democratic Party hid this. Kamala hid this.' Biden shuffled over to reporters shouting questions at him while he was boarding Air Force One on the tarmac at Dover Air Force Base on Sunday. He responded to a reporter asking him to comment about Israeli strikes on sites controlled by Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen. “I’ve spoken to both sides. They gotta settle the strike. I’m supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they’ll settle the strike,” Biden said. The president had apparently mixed up the Yemeni strikes with a looming union strike by dock workers against automation. The massive strike is scheduled to begin Monday at midnight and includes about 45,000 dock workers at ports on the East Coast and the Gulf Coast. Video of the interaction was posted to social media by the Republican Party, where it garnered more than 2.7 million views. Many pounced on the incident to mock and ridicule Biden. "Listen to this. He should be feeding pigeons on a park bench. We have no president," replied radio host Gerry Callahan. "The Houthi Local 1645 is known to be the toughest union to negotiate with," joked commentator Joel Petlin. "You’re kidding. It’s funny but it’s also very scary. Never forget the Democratic Party hid this. Kamala hid this," read another critical tweet. Others defended Biden by pointing out the noise on the tarmac might have prevented him from hearing the question clearly. The union Biden may have been referring to is demanding a total ban on automation on gates, trucks, and cranes. The strike could cost billions depending on how long it lasts, and Biden has the power under the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act to suspend the strike. However, he has signaled that he is unlikely to do so.
