THE VILLAGE TIMES

An Awesome Anticipation-by Richard Smalto

    Are we unique? Are we alone? These were the questions addressed in 1976 in a book entitled the 12^th Planet. The book presented ancient evidence regarding the biblical Nephilim and their planet called Nibiru. 

   Advances in Science since 1976 have gone a long way in corroborating ancient knowledge but what about the ancient answer to the key questions? Has modern science confirmed the existence of one more planet in our Solar System and has it found other intelligent beings outside Earth?

   That a search has been going on is a matter of record. That it has intensified in recent years is self-evident. But what is not known from the public record is world leaders have known for some time there is another planet in our Solar System and that we are not alone.

   Until recently these reflections have been seen as imaginative exercise in futility. But what have our world leaders said about these reflections.  At a Geneva meeting in 1987 Gorbachev and Reagan agreed that if the earth faced and invasion by extraterrestrials the two powers would “join forces to repel such an invasion.”  President Reagan spoke again of the extraterrestrial threat in his address in 1987 to the General Assembly of the United Nations.  Speaking of our need to turn swords into plowshares he said:

   “In our obsession with antagonisms for the moment we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.”

   Much more is known about this subject but has been withheld from public consumption. This especially true of the planet Mars. Space vehicles have been “lost forever or vanished completely” attempting to explore the surface of Mars which show traces of being inhabited currently and in the past. For example If it was and is now a space station for extraterrestrials then it could provide a cohesive and plausible explanation for UFOs.

   Although not generally known there has been a Star Wars incident! In 1989, a Russian space vehicle Phobos 2, when aligning with the Martian moonlet, was disabled halfway through transmission. It was disabled by “something that should not be there” rushing toward it which crashed into it abruptly ending transmission.

   Recently it was announced that Scientists had found evidence indicating that there is another planet in our solar system.

The Impact of Female Farmers – by Margie Lewin

    A new kind of farm is flourishing in Wake County, under the care of its women farmers. The pastoral pioneers sow more of than just seeds in the soil; they cultivate a community conscious of the richness that comes with shopping locally and embracing the land’s yield. This dedication lies not only in agriculture, but in education and connection as well. From the delicious goods harvested and sold by Stoney Acres, N.C.; and Jean’s Neighborhood Market; to the sun dappled grapevines of Cloe’s Family Vineyards, these women-run farms are rewriting the narrative of North Carolina agriculture. They don’t just harvest crops – they harvest relationships, nurturing a dialogue with their neighbors about the value of local produce and the strength it weaves within the social fabric. “There’s something for everyone!” And the market serves as a physical reminder of the community’s roots in sustainable living and the joys of seasonal festivities
