... written on Jan 26 2018If you’re not an American, chances are you would notice your local currency suddenly skyrockets.

... written on Jan 15 2018What is Zuma? Is it a latest military satellite to spy on North Korea? Where is Zuma? Has it been shot down by an “Alien Mothership”? Nobody seems to know the fate of Zuma, presumably a U.S. spy satellite which has gone missing after it was launched this week. What we know is the satellite […]
