Arsenal on the Charles will destroy 257 trees

Arsenal on the Charles is over 29 acres of prime Watertown property. But it’s so much more to Watertown residents who know it for Bright Horizons Daycare, Commander’s Mansion Entrance, and Watertown Children’s Theater. It’s also one of the few lots in the city with significant green spaces.

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, a juggernaut that buys and develops real estate across the United States, has bought this property and will be building a life sciences complex there.

In its current plans for the site, Alexandria has selected hundreds of trees to be felled.

I think we need to push back and ask Alexandria to pay attention to what science is already telling us in clear terms about the importance of urban shade trees.

The summers get unbearably hot as we bake in relentless heat. Watertown residents have much less green space than the surrounding communities to exercise, relax, play, and enjoy a bit of nature. Far from luxury, trees and open spaces offer climatic, social and individual benefits. Efficient, interlocking systems for water absorption, pollution filtering, and oxygen generation – trees are our best remedy for excessive rain as rainfall patterns become more extreme.

Alexandria’s plans are for new buildings, and the buildings shown are more attractive because they are surrounded by green trees. These pictures are a fantasy as Alexandria plans to cut so many trees. The trees, made up of pixels, are on the plans for a reason; Architects know that trees are balm for our eyes and mind.

Of the 257 trees Alexandria plans to kill, many are healthy and fully grown. Even when replaced with saplings, such smaller trees take decades to develop a canopy and root system that provides the same level of shade, carbon sequestration, and rainwater reduction.

I’m not suggesting that Alexandria’s pictures of new buildings framed by tall trees are a bait and a switch. Instead, I ask Alexandria to consider its legacy in our city. Instead of tearing down good green infrastructure and creating a paved desert with small trees between the parking lots, imagine bringing your grandchildren to show them what you’ve built and maintained. Be Innovative! Become a role model for other venture capitalists on how they can work with communities to preserve green space while making profits.

My Watertown roommates, while Alexandria is submitting the zoning plans, I am asking you to let the Watertown Planning Board know that you would like Alexandria to save as many trees as possible. You can come to the planning committee meeting on Wednesday June 9th at 7pm on Zoom: https://watertown-ma.zoom.us/j/92709029148) or you can imarchesano @ the members of the planning committee until Tuesday June 8th watertown-ma.gov to make sure the members of the planning committee can read your email.

RICHMOND, Virginia (WRIC) – The Richmond Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is seeking help from the public in investigating the 25-year murder of two women in Shenandoah National Park.

The FBI said two young women went for a hike in the park in 1996 but never returned.

Julianne “Julie” Williams, 24, and Laura “Lollie” Winans, 26, were found by park rangers at their backcountry campsite near Skyland Resort on June 1, 1996 after Winans’ dog was found on the trails and turned into rangers has been.

The press release said the initial response to the killings led agents across the country to search for clues. But the murder remains unsolved.

The video “Unsolved Henrico” hopes to generate leads in the 2018 Cold Case

Law enforcement said the people in the park may no longer be in Virginia during the murders. Because of this, the FBI said it was important that this case be shared nationwide to see if anyone, not necessarily those in the Commonwealth, had any information about the case.

“No information is insignificant, and your tip could be the piece of evidence that will bring this twenty-five year old case to a close,” the statement said.

This ongoing homicide investigation is a joint effort by the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, the National Park Service, and the Virginia State Police. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact their local FBI office, FBI Richmond, at 804-261-1044 or send tips online Here.

Catholic chaplains care for families at Arlington National Cemetery

ARLINGTON, Virginia (CNS) – “No one has a greater love than this, to give his life for his friends.”

Although these words are not linguistically identical to the oath that every member of the military takes when they join the service, they are identical in content.

And at Arlington National Cemetery, Catholic chaplains have a special mission to perform the final rites for those who gave their lives for their country.

Although the cemetery is located in Arlington County, it is controlled by the US Department of the Army and its spiritual care is the responsibility of the US Archdiocese of Military Services.

However, many pastors in Northern Virginia, with its sizeable military population, have conducted funerals in the cemetery because the families of fallen military officials can request that their pastor offer the funeral – with special permission from the military archdiocese.

Msgr. John C. Cregan, the retired pastor of Blessed Sacrament Church in Alexandria, Virginia, said he presided over several military personnel in his ward.

The priest, who served as an officer in the US Marine Corps for 22 years before he was ordained, said every time he conducts a military funeral it is “very, very moving.”

“Lots of young military men don’t consciously think about it, but when you take your right hand on an oath you are putting your life on the line for other people,” said Mgr. Cregan. “It is very important that we remember the people who have made great sacrifices for the values ​​we value … as Catholic Americans.”

There are currently four priests assigned to Arlington National Cemetery – two from the US Army and one from the US Navy and one from the US Air Force – who conduct the majority of Catholic funerals there. The Navy chaplain also covers funerals for the Marine Corps and Coast Guard.

Father David Kirk, a major military chaplain, is the most senior Catholic priest among them.

On any given day, an average of 25 to 30 funerals are held at Arlington National Cemetery. In the year and a half, Father Kirk was assigned to the cemetery, saying he performed between 600 and 700 funerals, and up to five in a day.

Funeral masses are celebrated in the Old Post Chapel in the cemetery, although rites are usually shortened due to time constraints, Father Kirk said. The chaplain then goes to the grave with the family.

“It is a very important ministry for families and for us as priests to be there for the family in such a situation and occasion,” said Father Nelson Ogwuegbu, an Air Force chaplain with the rank of captain. “It is very comforting (for her) to come here and find a priest who most of the time wears the same uniform that your loved one wore.”

Due to an extensive backlog and waiting list, families of fallen soldiers often have to wait at least a year for their loved ones to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Father Kirk told the Arlington Catholic Herald, the diocesan newspaper.

When he contacts the families to arrange details for the funeral, he says he gets a variety of responses.

“Families have said that at Arlington you won’t feel like you are being shut down and moving on anytime soon,” said Father Kirk of waiting for the cemetery.

“Then with those that started to close, it opens things again,” he explained. “But for a number of families, it opens things happily – we can now bury our loved ones and grant their wishes. For many people you can almost feel the relief on the phone that they have finally reached this point. “

While the average minister’s ministry can involve many different things, the priests at Arlington National Cemetery spend most of their time comforting those in mourning.

Father Kirk said military chaplains had a threefold reputation: “Feed the living, care for the wounded, honor the dead.”

“At Arlington, we certainly honor the dead, but we also care for the wounded – and the wounded don’t always have to be physical wounds. They can be emotional and spiritual wounds, ”said Father Kirk.

“We take care of the living, these are the soldiers we are with and the family members who come here for the funerals,” he said.

“It is such a blessing to be in Arlington because this is a unique place,” he added. “It’s such a beautiful job.”

THE BATTLE IN THE SKY IS NEAR!

Vindicated! Gov’t officials admit UFOs are real; ex-military members fear national security threat. These new gov’t admissions bear witness to the reality of The Mother Plane taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

For decades, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, patriarch of the Nation of Islam taught on The Mother Plane and the prophesized “Battle in the Sky.” “The vision of Ezekiel’s wheel in a wheel in the sky is true if carefully understood,” Mr. Muhammad wrote in his seminal book, “Message to the Blackman.” This Mother Plane or Wheel is a half-mile by half-mile in size and contains 1,500 smaller “wheels” each carrying three bombs, teaches Mr. Muhammad. “There is no known equal of the Mother Plane. The Mother Plane is made for the purpose of destroying the present world. She has no equal,” He wrote in one of his other important books, “The Fall of America.” 

“She,” Mr. Muhammad continued, referring to this Great Wheel, “is capable of staying away from you who plan the destruction of her. She is capable of confusing you who would try to reach her with your means of destruction.” Mr. Muhammad was mocked and ridiculed for teaching about The Wheel. However, He continues to be vindicated as scientists of this world and more recently, the U.S. government are bearing witness that these wheels are real.  

“Imagine a technology that can fly at 13,000 miles per hour, that can evade radar, that can fly through air, water and possibly space, that has no sign of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet can still defy the natural effects of earth’s gravity.”

That was former U.S. senior intelligence officer Luis Elizondo’s description of what Navy pilots and military personnel have been seeing. 

His words were shared during an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker about his experience with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), popularly known as UFOs. Mr. Whitaker also interviewed former Navy pilot Lt. Ryan Graves, former Navy pilot Cmdr. David Fravor, former Navy Lt. Cmdr. Alex Dietrich, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher Mellon and Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). The segment aired May 16.

The topic of UFOs has caused a frenzy, opening a door the U.S. government has kept shut and hidden for almost 80 years. In the Whitaker interview, Mr. Elizondo said: “The government has already stated for the record that they’re real. I’m not telling you that, the United States government is telling you that.”

Mr. Luis Elizondo, who spent 20 years running military intelligence operations, was asked to join the Pentagon’s “advanced aerospace threat identification program” or AATIP. The mission was to collect and analyze information involving so-called UFO’s, which the military calls UAPs. It may sound “wacky,” he admitted. But it was part of a $22 million program sponsored by then Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, to investigate UFOs. Mr. Elizondo, who took over in 2010, focused on national security implications of unidentified aerial phenomenon documented by U.S. service members. He and others were frustrated by higher ups stonewalling. Mr. Elizondo eventually quit, but not before getting three videos of the crafts declassified. Those videos were eventually leaked to the New York Times and made public.

Since that leak, multiple Navy pilots and other military personnel came forward sharing their accounts of encounters. U.S. intelligence agencies are now preparing to deliver a report on unidentified aerial phenomena to Congress in June.

According to former pilots in the “60 Minutes” episode, the objects are real, should not be ignored and could be dangerous. One pilot speculated the objects could be secret U.S. technology, or Russian or Chinese spy craft. But, say others, crafts with such advanced technology making intrusions into U.S. and visiting sensitive locations are a national security threat and are beyond current military capability.  

Screenshots from released video of unidentified aerial phenomena.

Lt. Graves said pilots training off the Atlantic coast have been seeing “things like that” every day for at least a couple of years now. Whatever it is, it’s a security risk, he said. He added that the crafts were seen over restricted air space southeast of Virgina Beach in 2018, when their jets radar and infrared cameras were updated. According to “60 Minutes,” the Pentagon said objects found in 2019 photos from U.S. aircrafts could not be identified. Cmdr. Fravor said when he and his team encountered one of the flying objects in Nov. 2004, it turned abruptly and started mirroring his flight patterns, then got right in front of him and disappeared. Seconds later, it was spotted 60 miles away. That video has been released and was shown on “60 Minutes” along with images of these crafts from military sources. “When you have exhausted all those what ifs and you’re still left with the fact that this is in our air space and it’s real? That’s when it becomes compelling and that’s when it becomes problematic,” said Mr. Elizondo.

“There have been countless sightings all over the world, millions of sightings with many thousands and thousands of them reported and studied,” political activist and Disclosure advocate Stephen Bassett told The Final Call. He said there are military witnesses, radar sightings and photographs. 

“Over the last 70 years, hundreds if not thousands of just citizens, I call them the citizen science researchers, journalists and so forth, they have been studying these phenomena. They have been researching it. They have been talking to witnesses. They have been obtaining documents. And so they’ve been compiling decades of research about the phenomena,” he said.

Mr. Bassett, executive director of the Paradigm Research Group, said soon, the American people will see military witnesses testifying about the evidence before Congress.

“Why are the initial witnesses to these amazing hearings going to be almost certainly, almost all military? Because they are the best witnesses. One, they take an oath of office. They take an oath when they sign up to serve. They’ll take another oath when they sit down in front of the congressional committee,” he said. “And more importantly, their career, their lives are very well known. We will know when they served, how they served, what service, and so forth. There’s a record of their life, whereas a civilian witness in many cases, you don’t have that.”

Nation of Islam Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad, author of the book “UFOs And The Nation Of Islam: The Source, Proof, And Reality Of The Wheels,” told The Final Call more military personnel have been coming forward in the last 14 years. “All of them describe the same thing. They described disc-shaped objects interfering with military sites, destabilizing their most advanced nuclear sites, disarming their warheads. And what these wheels have been doing is going around monitoring all these different military and nuclear sites just to prove that there is a superior power on scene. They have literally disarmed remotely, disarmed and shut entire nuclear sites down,” he explained. 

He pointed to the late Gordon Cooper, who was one of the most decorated NASA astronauts America has had. “He saw these wheels on two occasions. One time they actually had footage, and that footage of course was given to what he believes to be CIA intelligence that they had to give it to, and it was never seen again,” Student Minister Muhammad said. 

Los Angeles Times newspaper article, “Battle of Los Angeles,” 1942.

The same thing happened with NASA’s Bob Jacob in 1964, he added. “They saw a wheel literally disarm a test missile warhead within a matter of seconds, and the film of course was confiscated by some superior they believe to be CIA and of course it was never seen again,” he said.

For Navy pilots and military personnel who have witnessed the crafts, the question isn’t whether the flying crafts exist or not. Their own experiences prove they exist, as well as sightings by millions in America alone. The question being asked by former Navy pilots and other military personnel is “what are the crafts and who is controlling them?”

Mr. Bassett explained that the U.S. government has known about the existence of the flying crafts since at least 1947, when the government recovered a crashed vehicle in Roswell, N.M. “The U.S. government made the decision as a national security policy to withhold this information, or to withhold the truth of this from the American people and the world for that matter,” he said. 

He called the withholding of such information a “truth embargo.” It’s not necessarily a secret, because the crafts can go wherever they want, but that the purpose is to convince people to pretend they don’t exist, he said.

“The analogy I like to use is, it’s one thing to embargo Cuba and say, look, you can’t go there. People say, ‘Okay.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘There is no Cuba. Ain’t no Cuba. Why are you wanting to go to Cuba? There is no island down there, alright. Forget about it.’ That obviously would be ridiculous, wouldn’t it? People would say, ‘Well, that’s silly.’ But in fact, that’s exactly what the government did with this issue,” he said.

Now the U.S. government is trying to free itself from the truth embargo, argued Mr. Bassett. “It’s a public relations driven extrication campaign,” he said. “So what does that mean? Right now, the military intelligence complex, DOD (Department of Defense) and so forth and the political class are trying to extricate themselves out from under this truth embargo.”

Min. Muhammad said people are hearing about the existence of the flying crafts now because it is becoming impossible to hide. He said the U.S. government and military have been encountering the crafts since the early 1940s.

“The government first confirmed that these planes exist when they arrested the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and over 80 other members of the Nation of Islam in May of 1942. And the reason, part of the reason, that led to that arrest was the fact that the military encountered the Mother Wheel and a few of the Baby Planes just off the coast of Los Angeles a few months prior, on February 25, 1942,” he said.

The event is known as the “Battle of Los Angeles,” where unidentified objects were reported. The military fired more than 1,400 antiaircraft shells at the objects, but all of them missed. Military officials did not know the origin of the planes.

“It was after that encounter with The Wheel and seeing how otherworldly superior this craft was and how their 1,400 rounds of antiaircraft artillery could not do anything to this Wheel that was up in the sky. Because of that, it sent the nation in shock, and their investigations led to the only person and entity giving definitive details about what they encountered, and this is what led to the arrest of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and 80 plus other members of the Nation of Islam, where they interrogated him,” Min. Muhammad said. “They took the illustrations of The Wheel that was at the mosque. They took it and confiscated it from the mosque. They admitted to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad that they had encountered The Wheel. And as an attempt to hide the fact that this is a new, supreme power greater than the power of White America, they arrested the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and locked him up for almost five years to silence his voice, so that they could initiate what has become the worldwide UFO cover-up.”

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad started teaching about the crafts, which he termed The Wheel, or The Mother Plane, in 1932, ten years before they appeared in 1942. According to his top student, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan who has since spoken on the reality of the flying crafts, when the Hon. Elijah Muhammad was arrested and questioned by the FBI about the drawings of The Wheel, he explained to the U.S. government and to the FBI the aim and purpose of it, who made it and why it is above America.

Minister Farrakhan recalled that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad referred to The Wheel as a “masterpiece of mechanics and engineering” and “the greatest military weapon ever developed in the annals of the history of Allah (God) and man in this universe.” The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said the purpose of The Wheel was to destroy the present world of evil and that visions of it had been seen thousands of years before it came into being. 

“All throughout the scripture, Torah, Gospel, even Qur’an, God is depicted as operating from a vessel that flies in the sky,” Min. Ilia Rashad Muhammad said. He explained that the belief of a human God operating a flying craft is supported by scripture. 

“You read in the scriptures where God operates from something described as a cloud by day and looks like a star or pillar of fire by night. He operates from what are referred to as His heavenly chariots. His throne is situated upon some type of vessel. He is described in the book of Galatians and Revelations as operating from this place called the New Jerusalem, which is a heavenly city of God, also described as the mother of us all,” Min. Muhammad said. 

“We get prophecies in the book of Ezekiel of God’s appearance operating on a wheel-shaped plane. We read about God and His Prophet. Like when God sent his chariot, this fiery chariot from heaven to come and rescue His servant, Elijah, and it takes Elijah away on a heavenly chariot,” he continued. Min. Muhammad also pointed out the Book of Acts, Chapter 1, where Jesus is leaving in a cloud, and the Book of Matthew, Chapter 24, where he is returning in like manner.

“We read in the Holy Qur’an where Allah, God, is established upon this Throne of Power. And this Throne of God is over the waters,” he said.

He concluded that the existence of the flying crafts is evidence of a supreme power that is far greater than any power, any military, any intelligence and any technological advancement that this world has ever known, which makes them of utmost importance to the governments and militaries of the world. 

“It should be the most important thing that Black and oppressed populations should know, because Black and oppressed populations around the world have been subjugated under the power of White supremacy. And so no Black country, community or nation on this earth has the armament to honestly battle, that can compete with that of America and the White Western superpowers of the world and Israel. They don’t have that,” he said. “Black folks in America don’t have the arms to battle the governments and militaries. So, unless there is a power greater than that, Black folks could just give it up. And the fact is, there is a power greater than all of that, and that power has proven its superiority. And that power is with us if we only knew it. So that is what that means to us. That is the most important knowledge, the fact that God has come, just as He said He would.”

Min. Farrakhan warned during his Saviours’ Day 2020 message, “The Unraveling of a Great Nation” the purpose of The Wheel and how Master Fard Muhammad, Allah (God) in Person described it to the Hon. Elijah Muhammad. The Minister also described his personal connection to The Wheel. 

“He pointed out an object in the sky, a half a mile by a half a mile, the greatest mechanical object ever made, having 1,500 little Wheels or bombing planes can take America out in 12 hours.  I’m not representing no fantasy god.  I’m not representing no spook god that’s hiding somewhere in the sky.  I represent the Most High God who sits in that Wheel that Ezekiel saw, a Wheel in the middle of a Wheel, and I visited that Wheel.  He brought me to that Wheel like Allah brought Muhammad in a night vision to the inner sanctum of Himself,” said Min. Farrakhan. The Minister was given a direct message from the Hon. Elijah Muhammad on The Wheel  in 1985.

“He brought me there, yet I was here.  He gave me a message.  He told me that the President was planning a war and I want you to have a press conference and tell them his plans, and tell them that you got it from me, Elijah Muhammad, on The Wheel.  I never failed to deliver that message.  They hated me for it.  They lied on me because of it. They made mockery.  So, when I made the announcement, I told them that before you can make mockery of me, you’ll see the Wheels. And, it flew over the White House, flew over the Congress. I’m not a spook believer.  I’m not no man that believes in fantasy.  I know what I experienced and I’m not a liar.  I put my life on what I say!”

Mr. Bassett said in coming weeks, people should watch for a number of things. One, he said, watch for a chairman of one of the congressional committees to announce that they are going to hold a hearing. Two, he said, watch for those in national security who come forward about the unidentified objects.

“These are things they weren’t saying 15-20 years ago, believe me. A number of them have come forward,” he said. “You can find the articles. Watch for more of that to happen, more people to come forward.”

Willow teams up with Téo for the Bossa Nova-inspired song “Buzzed”

Back in April, Willow caught attention with a pivot on pop-punk music. After teaming up with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, the singer ushered in a new era of electric guitar-heavy music written for bands like My Chemical Romance and Paramore. But with her new collaboration “Buzzed” with the musician and actor Téo, the singer explores a sound that is more inspired by bossa nova.

The Colombian-American singer Téo is preparing for the release of his album Sol, which includes his track “Suplicar”, signed by Justin Bieber. Since his 2017 debut single “Uno Dos” featured a guest verse by Jaden, it is only fitting that Téo should tap the other Smith sibling to loan her vocals for his new song. “Buzzed” offers an acoustic guitar-driven melody, while the soulful harmonies of the two singers merge over the syncopated beat.

Téo shared his enthusiasm for the loungey song in a statement alongside the release of the single. “I’ve always wanted to do a song with Willow, and after I had the first idea for the song, I knew immediately that I wanted her on,” he says. “I sent it to her, she really liked it, and we went into the studio and made it what it is. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have them on the album. “

Listen to Téo and Willow’s “Buzzed” collaboration above.

Sol is on June 11th.

Some of the artists discussed here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of the Warner Music Group.

Richmond County investigators arrested and on leave for DUI in NC

A Richmond County investigator was arrested in North Carolina over the weekend for drinking and speeding.

Investigator Michael McDonald was on administrative leave during an internal investigation, the sheriff’s office said Tuesday. McDonald was arrested Saturday by the North Carolina State Highway Patrol in Craven County, NC

McDonald has been in the sheriff’s office since July 2015 and was promoted to investigator in February 2020. He was assigned to the narcotics department.

This is the third Richmond County Sheriff’s Office arrested last year for DUI. Investigator Wesley Ward was arrested in Columbia County in April for DUI and lane failure in his county-issued vehicle. The next day he resigned from the sheriff’s office.

Staff member Matthew Loomis was charged with obedience to traffic control devices, leaving the scene of the accident, DUI, and driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street. At the time of his arrest, he was a student at Augusta Technical College Law Enforcement Academy after being hired as a prison guard in December 2019. Loomis resigned instead of resigning.

Manassas insurance agent charged with stalking customers: police

MANASSAS, VA – A Manassas auto insurance agent was arrested after authorities alleged he molested and prosecuted one of his customers, Prince William County police said.
