Jun 10, 2023 – Landers, California, U.S. – The Integratron is a 38 feet (12 m) tall cupola structure with a diameter of 55 feet (17 m) designed by ufologist a George Van Tassel. Van Tassel claimed the Integratron was capable of rejuvenation, anti-gravity and time travel. He built the structure in Landers, California (near Joshua Tree), following instructions that Van Tassel vehemently claimed were provided directly to him by visitors from the planet Venus. Now it’s a place of spiritual healing and musical sound baths. (Credit Image: © Katrina Kochneva/ZUMA Wire)

April 5, 2025, Berlin, Germany: Demonstrators gathered outside the Tesla Store at Berlin’s Mall, joining a worldwide protest movement dubbed ”Tesla Takedown” to challenge the influence of Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The rally saw activists decrying Musk’s wealth and political actions, accusing him of undermining democracy and supporting far-right causes. Demonstrators waved signs with slogans like ”Boycott Tesla” and ”Send Musk to Mars” while chanting for an end to what they described as a ”billionaire rule and fascism”. ”Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is using his billions to destroy democracies and bring right-wing radicals to power”, read a statement posted on Instagram by the organizers. ”We are standing up to that! Together, we can bring Musk’s empire crashing down.” The ”Tesla Takedown” movement has gained traction across Europe, the United States, and beyond, fueled by anger over Musk’s role as a key advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump and his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has slashed federal jobs and agencies. Critics, including those in Berlin, argue that Musk’s wealth, primarily tied to Tesla, funds his political influence, which they see as a threat to democratic institutions.

Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #987 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY, April 29, 2025: ‘Breaking The Grass Ceiling’ Pictures by ZUMA Press represented Sacramento Bee’s photographer Paul Kitagaki Jr. and story by staff writer Joe Davidson: A record nine women suited up for teams at the collegiate level in 2024, with more on the way, while a movement to make women’s baseball a college sport is gaining momentum. Kennedy Cougars team captain and pitcher Laney Fukuoka has heard it all. The out-loud wise cracks, the subtle digs, the snickers. The High School senior pitcher has also caught the expressions of discord and doubt when taking the mound, the rolled eyes, the nodding of the head, the deep sighs. The heckling line most common? ”She throws like a girl!” Well, shoot, man. News flash: She is a girl. The path to Major League Baseball is a straightforward run for boys and young men, but a new women’s league (WPBL) hopes to create a similar baseball pipeline for girls and young women in the not-too-distant future. Welcome to ‘Breaking The Grass Ceiling’
