Utah lawmakers advanced a bill this week to prevent the granting of inherent rights to nature‚ a movement gaining momentum among environmental activists. House Bill 249‚ the “Utah Legal Personhood Amendments‚” declares that only mankind may enjoy the legal rights and obligations of personhood. The Utah House passed the bill on Tuesday; it now faces consideration by the Senate. The bill expressly prohibits the granting of legal personhood to any artificial intelligence‚ inanimate object‚ body of water‚ land‚ real property‚ atmospheric gas‚ astronomical object‚ weather‚ plant‚ nonhuman animal‚ and “any other member of a taxonomic domain that is not a human being.” Republican State Rep. Walt Brooks brought forth the bill amid efforts by environmental activists to leverage current U.S. law to grant legal personhood to the Great Salt Lake. Brooks explained during the House floor vote on Tuesday that a constituent brought the movement to his attention‚ a request he believed was in jest until he did his own research. Brooks said the bill was “common sense.” “I had to explain to my kids that‚ you go to a dairy‚ those cows are pregnant because they need to be if they’re going to give milk. But‚ did anybody get the permission of a cow to get them pregnant?” said Brooks. “So‚ if they were a person‚ that would be sexual harassment.” Democratic State Rep. Joel Briscoe indicated that nonhuman entities and beings should enjoy the legal rights of personhood‚ since corporations may have legal rights under U.S. law. Briscoe said he wasn’t sure whether granting personhood to the Great Salt Lake would be a good idea or not. “What I do know is this: before I put into code‚ and vote to put into code‚ a prohibition against something that I’m told is dangerous without any examples‚ I would really love to see some detail[‚]” said Briscoe. In closing‚ Brooks impressed on the importance of definitions that reflect reality. He compared the hesitation to decline personhood for nature to the ongoing confusion over defining gender. “What I do know is this: a person is a person‚ and a tree is not‚ neither is an animal‚ neither is a stream‚ neither is the air‚” said Brooks. “I bet you if you went back ten years ago‚ no one had a question about what a woman was and what a man was‚ but we do get confused.” Last month‚ Brooks told KUER that assigning personhood to something nonhuman wasn’t an appropriate preservation effort.

We value our rivers and streams‚ wetlands‚ whatever it may be‚ our lakes‚ and there’s ways that we can preserve them and go forward‚” said Brooks. “But trying to mix the idea that it’s actually a human person is not appropriate.” Environmental activists have already undertaken similar measures in other states. Last October‚ Milwaukee County in Wisconsin passed a resolution granting nature equal rights to mankind with the aim of securing greater protections for the county’s bodies of water. The movement to grant inherent rights to nature links back to the 2012 establishment of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). IPBES considers granting inherent rights to nature a significant public policy instrument. The bill passed out of the Utah House with overwhelming support on Tuesday‚ with 58 members voting for it and 11 against. Only one Democrat voted for‚ not against the bill: State Rep. Ashlee Matthews.

President Joe Biden and his administration tried to sound tough on Friday after the U.S. Military carried out a series of strikes inside Syria and Iraq in retaliation for Iranian-backed terrorists murdering three U.S. soldiers and wounding dozens more in a suicide drone attack last weekend. The strikes came after the Biden administration repeatedly telegraphed to Iran‚ through leaks to the media‚ what its plans were for the strikes so that Iran could have their top personnel from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — a designated terrorist group — safely evacuate ahead of the U.S. response. “This afternoon‚ at my direction‚ U.S. military forces struck targets at facilities in Iraq and Syria that the IRGC and affiliated militia use to attack U.S. forces‚” Biden said. “Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing. The United States does not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world. But let all those who might seek to do us harm know this: If you harm an American‚ we will respond.” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that Biden ordered him to “hold the IRGC and affiliated militias accountable for their attacks on U.S. and Coalition Forces.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “We do not seek conflict in the Middle East or anywhere else‚ but the president and I will not tolerate attacks on American forces‚” he said. “We will take all necessary actions to defend the United States‚ our forces‚ and our interests.” Voice of America News reported that a U.S. official said that the goal of the strike was to cause “a major disruption in logistics” for the IRGC and the terrorist groups that it backs. The targets selected were “critical to their supply chain” the official said‚ adding that the strikes were not intended to target “personnel.” “We hit what we intended to hit‚” the official said.

The small Pittsburgh suburb of Allison Park‚ Pennsylvania is once again experiencing unknown humanoid sightings. I have added a report from 2018 in which we investigated without resolution.The following account was recently reported:"I don’t know what it is. I’ve lived in the same house for the last 18 years and it’s only gotten worse. I live in an old coal mining town (Allison Park) in Pennsylvania. I know my house is haunted‚ but I believe that to be beside the point. Something is stalking my family.The first encounter I had was in the early 2010s. I heard my name being called repeatedly from far away and it sounded like my friend. Started walking towards home and turned because I felt I was being watched. I saw a dark‚ humanoid figure that was at least 7-8 feet tall. I ran home. Things were fairly quiet as far as I can remember up until the last few years. Recently‚ things have been amping up. It started as rustling in the woods and the feeling of being watched. Next came the deer. So many deer. There was one I recall seeing multiple times in the same spot for a few days on my way home that just didn’t look right. The most recent encounters have left me researching what to do. Two nights ago my mom saw a pale white face with glowing eyes pressed up against the front door. She said she froze in fear and didn’t know what to do. Tonight I got home after dark and walked toward my house. Seconds after I locked my car I heard a bloodcurdling scream come from the train tracks followed by a very calm voice yelling help me very loudly. I froze in fear for a solid 15 seconds just listening. I slowly walked up my porch steps just listening to two different voices screaming‚ one frantic and screeching while the other was calm and just called out to help me. I yelled in the front door for my mom because the frantic voice sounded vaguely like my youngest sister‚ but I thought maybe she was messing around. When she came outside it grew quiet and the frantic voice had stopped. We heard 'Help me' one or two more times faintly then nothing. My sister was at a friend’s house and it wasn’t her. We went to pick up dinner and there were deer everywhere.Now‚ this isn’t uncommon for PA to see a ton of deer‚ but like I said before these ones were weird. They stared right at you and didn’t run from the car‚ even if they were in the middle of the road. Someone‚ please tell me what is going on. What are these things?" PNOTE: I received another report from Allison Park‚ PA in 2018. Here is the account:I received the following account on Sunday‚ February 4‚ 2018‚ and subsequently contacted the witnesses by telephone:My daughter and her friends had a sleepover last night. Well apparently one of the girls said she felt like something was watching her? Then I guess the other girls started feeling this sensation too...so my daughter goes over to the door and looks out and sees a dark figure hunched over at the bottom of our steps. She said it rose up and took a step forward like to come up the stairs. She was obviously very frightened and her and her 4 friends took cover in our tiny little bathroom.I wake up around 11:30 pm and hear my dog barking and proceed to use the bathroom‚ which I cannot get in because they are all huddled in there...which nobody said a word to me at the time‚ fearing I would be upset with them waking me up. I was told the story in the morning. Apparently they heard knocks and scratching. This figure was tall‚ black and had yellow eyes...only other detail was it appeared to have claws. They claimed it was moving the blinds inside the house from outside the porch and the porch light was going on and off. I don't know if this is just an overactive imagination of a bunch of 5th graders‚ but they seemed genuinely frightened. I did notice our grill on the front porch was moved about 6 inches because I could see the indent of where the wheel had sat before. We live in Allison Park PA...about 9 miles from Pittsburgh. You're welcome to call for more info or email me. I'm not sure if anyone else has had a similar experiences‚ but would appreciate any information. Thanks. MCNOTE: I called MC and talked to the daughter and 2 of her friends. They were all absolute at what they witnessed. All the girls stated that they felt like 'something was observing them' and the group together saw the being outside. They described the being as 8 ft. or more and solid black...no transparency. The eyes were oval in shape and it gave off a bright yellow glow. The being had long arms with visible claws. I asked if it was human‚ and they all said it was not. They observed it at two locations on the property...below the front steps and on the patio. They witnessed the being open at the top of the grill on the patio. They all stated that the blinds inside the window were moving on their own and that the patio light was flashing on and off. The light switch was inside. One of the girls called a parent and left early. She stated that she and her parents witnessed this being walking across the lawn as they were leaving in their car. The girls submitted a sketch (below) of what they witnessed.I don't believe that this was a case of mass hysteria or collective imagination. The girls were genuinely concerned about what they witnessed. MC noted that her daughter has seen apparitions in the house previously...in particular‚ her deceased grandfather. There has been other spiritual activity on the property as well. I'm going to keep in touch with the witnesses and have asked them to keep me updated. LonUPDATE: I contacted Stan Gordon about this incident...he forwarded the following:Hi Lon‚Thanks for sending this over. Looking at the sketch there appears to be some similarities between this report and the report of the police officer encounter late August of last year. There was also a second witness in September describing a similar being not that far from where the officer had his encounter in Westmoreland County. As the crow flies‚ the Allison Park incident not really that far away from the other two locations both were in Westmoreland County. I have the police encounter on my website and they are both mentioned in my recent 2017 PA report.http://www.stangordon.info/wp/2017/08/30/police-officer-encounters-strange-creature-with-glowing-head-in-pennsylvania-late-august-2017/http://www.stangordon.info/wp/2018/01/15/mysterious-ufos-bigfoot-and-cryptid-encounters-reported-across-pennsylvania-in-2017/I have been receiving a number of UFO and cryptid incidents‚ and mystery boom reports from around the greater Pittsburgh area that occurred in January. Also I recently received 3 reports from individuals from around the Pittsburgh area‚ none who had reported at the time‚ but all experienced some very strange encounters that frightened them very badly‚ and they all occurred this past October.StanFlying Serpents and Dragons: The Story of Mankind's Reptilian PastSlenderman: From Fiction to FactUnexplained World of the Chestnut Ridge: A Hike through the Goblin Universe of Western PennsylvaniaThe PK Man: A True Story of Mind Over MatterMore Encounters with Star People: Urban American Indians Tell their StoriesImpossible Realities: The Science Behind Energy Healing‚ Telepathy‚ Reincarnation‚ Precognition‚ and Other Black Swan PhenomenaCaverns‚ Cauldrons‚ and Concealed Creatures: A Study of Subterranean Mysteries in History‚ Folklore‚ and MythRegister a SNAP EBT CardTry Audible PlusPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTHave you had a sighting or encounter?Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.

Lon-----YOUR SUPPORT IS APPRECIATED! THANKS-----BIGFOOT: IS IT A SUPERNATURAL BEING? - Please Join Us For LIVE CHAT! - Q &; A - Lon Strickler (Host)Back in the Summer of 2010‚ I posted a poll that posed the question ‘What is Bigfoot?’ To my surprise‚ 26% of the 574 participants answered they believed this creature was interdimensional and/or extraterrestrial. Are we at a point where people are open-minded enough to accept that a hominid-type species may not be of our time or planet?I posed this question to my readers and challenged them to make their case. Again‚ I was surprised at the amount of response I received. A total of 112 emails‚ with well-thought-out theories and opinions‚ were received in three days.Maybe we’ll discover beyond a doubt where the truth lies about Bigfoot. We may kill several birds with one stone if or when we do find the answers to our questions. There may be a grand connection between all the mysteries in our world‚ possibly involving other worlds or dimensions as well. Mankind may be the greatest mystery of all and the reason why Bigfoot‚ extraterrestrials‚ spirits‚ etc. seem to be as fascinated with us as we are with them.So‚ sit back and listen to the reports‚ and contemplate what you believe Bigfoot is. If you have questions‚ feel free to post them in the live chat. I will do my best to answer everyone.-----ORDER THE AUDIOBOOK VERSIONORDER THE AUDIOBOOK VERSIONProject Threshold: Finale-----TODAY'S TOP LINKSTerrifying 3‚500-strong army of marauding MONKEYS invade city centre forcing tourists &; locals to flee &; shops to closeSecurity Guard in Mexico Films Sound of Ghost Child Crying?SHAPESHIFTERS: MYTHS or REAL BEINGS? - Please Join Us For LIVE CHAT! - Q &; A - Lon Strickler (Host)LISTEN TO NARRATIONS OF PHANTOMS &; MONSTERS REPORTS &; CASES - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE‚ LIKE &; SHAREScientists Discovered Strange ‘Entities’ Called ‘Obelisks’ In Our Bodies.
