Well, the picture appeared on a documentary about "megalightning" that
was shown here last year, as the Rense site points out. They didn't say
anything about censorship. But why is the photo credited to David
Monaghan Productions/HTV West, and not either Goldie or the SF
Chronicle?
I wouldn't trust anything on the Rense site - or anything mentioning the
Electric Universe idea, which is purest BS as stated.
