The Discovery Channel Telescope is an observatory with a 14-foot (4.3-meter) mirror built near Happy Jack, Ariz., by the Lowell Observatory and Discovery Communications, the parent company of television’s Discovery Channel. The telescope’s opening was marked with a gala on Saturday (July 21) at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff and featured a keynote speech from Neil Armstrong, the first person ever on the moon.
“The First Light Gala is a historic event in the annals of Lowell Observatory,” Jeffrey Hall, director of Lowell Observatory, said in a statement. “It marks completion of our spectacular new research facility, initiation of superb projects that will bring our research to millions through our partnership with Discovery Communications. We are honored to be part of it and grateful to all who have helped make it a reality.”

US tells court bin Laden photos must stay secret
WASHINGTON (AP) — Public disclosure of graphic photos and video taken of Osama bin Laden after he was killed in May by U.S. commandos would damage national security and lead to attacks on American property and personnel, the Obama administration contends in a court documents.
In a response late Monday to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group seeking the imagery, Justice Department attorneys said the CIA has located 52 photographs and video recordings. But they argued the images of the deceased bin Laden are classified and are being withheld from the public to avoid inciting violence against Americans overseas and compromising secret systems and techniques used by the CIA and the military.
The Justice Department has asked the court to dismiss Judicial Watch’s lawsuit because the records the group wants are “wholly exempt from disclosure,” according to the filing.
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, accused the Obama administration of making a “political decision” to keep the bin Laden imagery secret. “We shouldn’t throw out our transparency laws because complying with them might offend terrorists,” Fitton said in a statement. “The historical record of Osama bin Laden’s death should be released to the American people as the law requires.”
The Associated Press has filed Freedom of Information Act requests to review a range of materials, such as contingency plans for bin Laden’s capture, reports on the performance of equipment during the May 1 assault on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and copies of DNA tests confirming the al-Qaida leader’s identity. The AP also has asked for video and photographs taken from the mission, including photos made of bin Laden after he was killed.
The Obama administration refused AP’s request to quickly consider its request for the records. AP appealed the decision, arguing that unnecessary bureaucratic delays harm the public interest and allow anonymous U.S. officials to selectively leak details of the mission. Without expedited processing, requests for sensitive materials can be delayed for months and even years. The AP submitted its request to the Pentagon less than one day after bin Laden’s death.
In a declaration included in the documents, John Bennett, director of the CIA’s National Clandestine Service, said many of the photos and video recordings are “quite graphic, as they depict the fatal bullet wound to (bin Laden) and other similarly gruesome images of his corpse.” Images were taken of bin Laden’s body at the Abbottabad compound, where he was killed by a Navy SEAL team, and during his burial at sea from the USS Carl Vinson, Bennett said.
“The public release of the responsive records would provide terrorist groups and other entities hostile to the United States with information to create propaganda which, in turn, could be used to recruit, raise funds, inflame tensions, or rally support for causes and actions that reasonably could be expected to result in exceptionally grave damage to both the national defense and foreign relations of the United States,” Bennett wrote.
Navy Adm. William McRaven, the top officer at U.S. Special Operations Command, said in a separate declaration that releasing the imagery could put the special operations team that carried out the assault on bin Laden’s compound at risk by making them “more readily identifiable in the future.” Before his current assignment, McRaven led the Joint Special Operations Command, the organization in charge of the military specialized counterterrorism units.

THE FOLLOWING ART SOURCES FROM DR. HOROWITZ’S PHOTOGRAPHY WITHIN THE DENVER “NEW WORLD AIRPORT” NOT LONG AFTER THE FACILITY OPENED IN 1994.
A gas-masked Nazi-alien stabs the dove of peace, a Christian symbol, with a Muslim sabre. The Nazi connection sources from IG Farben, the initial petrochemical cartel based in Germany, connected to the drug industry and the holocaust. The blade is swished through the air leaving a rainbow chemtrail polluting the air of the people below, suffering from the toxicity and genocide. The children are closest to the sword (lower left) and a image much like the 911- twin towers destruction (lower right) is also depicted.
Close -up of gas-masked Nazi alien.
Close-up of mostly ethnic populations dying.
Against a backdrop of horrific destruction, and the extinction of various species, including whales and sea turtles, only children are seen in the center sobbing over three open caskets. The funeral service is for the Black African people on the left, the Native Red people in the center, and the White Judeo-Christians on the right.
Close up of African woman in her coffin.
Native aboriginal groups are represented in the center casket.
This Anglo-American woman, lying on and American quilt, hugs a Jewish star and Christian bible, divided by the red rose, symbolic of the Rosecrucians and the Illuminati. To the left of the rose is locket containing an image of the girls’s family. This indicates the termination of family traditions.
Notice also the flowers at the top left of the image is a Columbine blossom, suggestive of the Columbine massacre.
Finally, the Nazi alien is vanquished. It lies dead in the foreground. A German lad strikes his Muslim saber, like an anvil, with his hammer–and image of facism and Communism.
Notice there are not adults here. Only children are left to celebrate the New World Order.
The White girl holding the rose, holds the Black baby doll next to the sword, as “peace” is celebrated by song and dance.
The celebration of the one world religion begins, paying tribute to the illuminated lotus blossom in the center.
Closer look at the focus of spiritual practice–the “light” (obviously of Lucifer.)
Notice the dance line begins, and is directed, by the Scottish-Rite Freemason.
In the floor between the above murals is a mining cart showing the symbols of silver and gold (Au and Ag, respectively).
Au-Ag symbols also code for the “Australian Antigen.” This was the first name given to the hepatitis B vaccine virus. Dr. Horowitz’s book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola–Nature, Accident or Intentional?, proves the hepatitis B vaccine was used to trigger the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
The dedication capstone at Denver International Airport heralds the Masonic symbol and “New World” designation. There are two separate Masonic lodges cited. They are segregated Black and White lodges.
These images are found in Dr. Horowitz’s DVD entitled, Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism & Toxic Warfare, and his book by this same title.

Bosnian pyramids: Photos of the ravne tunnel complex
posted from:http://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=118565&page=4
This is probably the best example of a photographed orb within my photos of the Ravne tunnel complex. Ive so many, so no doubt more will turn up.
You see to the right of the photo is another dry stone wall within the tunnel fill which was excavated that day.
These walls indicate to us that the tunnel fill could not have been a natural deposit because dry stone walls dont form in natural deposits!
The Drywalls are positioned at intersects along the main passage where smaller side passages branch off. These are also filled in the same way as the main passageway. The material is unconsolidated and can be pulled from the tunnel walls quite easily.
The board on the floor protects various stones which are below. Larger boulders are placed along the floor of the tunnel at various positions. The actual tunnel floor is 30cm below what we are working on.
The position of these stones almost certainly has some importance and must be studied further.
These are the typical objects that get pulled out daily from the tunnel fill material
Much of this material here is either shaped stone or an artificial composition ie concrete.
Similar material can be identified in situ on the moon pyramid. This could indicate that the tunnels were filled in after the construction of the pyramids. Someone may have filled the tunnels with all the waste material. As you can see much of the material is broken and eroded bricks/tiles.
The white ball of material in the left corner is a sandy limestone. This material may have been used for the creation of a binding agent in the concrete.
The dark coloured artifact (Bottom, centre-left) is part of a larger slab made up of 4 pieces in total.
Each piece was pulled out in close succession over 2 days. There are markings across all four pieces. Someone had broken the complete slab and then buried it within the tunnel.
Here you can see the clear difference in colour between the natural post glacial deposit the tunnels are cut into and the material filling the tunnel.
The tunnel fill is a mix of unconsolidated sand, bands of clay and mixed sized boulders. Orientation of the stones and boulders are random. There is no preference for orientation as there would be if the material were deposited by water.
This and the fact there are dry stone walls within the fill gives us confidence in the idea that the tunnels were purposely blocked up.
The next step is to figure out whether it was blocked up from the outside, or from the inside.
Here is an interesting artifact!
Look closely and you can see the head is that of a bird.
Believe nothing
