COMET AND GOETH 2016 BA14 AND 252P LINEAR TO SWING CLOSE TO EARTH 3.5 MIILLION MILES AND 5.2 MILLION MILES THIS MARCH, 2016

A COMET is set to skim by tonight in a historic encounter of Earth-shattering proportions. Well not quite. But only two other comets have come closer in recorded history.

The mundanely named Comet P/2016 BA14 is set to pass within 3.5 million kilometres about 1.30am tonight.

We’re not likely to notice.

Even in such an historical proximity, it’s not going to be visible to the naked eye.

Only professional-quality telescopes will be able to discern the hurtling bundle of rock and ice from its starry background.

It was only discovered two months ago.

But it’s not a threat, says NASA.

Nor is its tail: It’s simply not big enough.

“March 22 will be the closest Comet P/2016 BA14 gets to us for at least the next 150 years,” Paul Chodas, manager of the Center of Near-Earth Object Studies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said.

ASA thinks P/2016 BA14 (BA14 for short) is a fragment of another comet on a similar course — the 230m wide 252P/LINEAR.

That one passed us at a mere 5.2 million kilometres yesterday.

WITH INCREASING BOMBINGS AND MASS KILLINGS OF THE EU CITIZENS IN FRANCE AND BRUSSELS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS BY ISLAMISTS - THE PEOPLE ARE BEING DRIVEN TO RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS IN DROVES BY THE MUSLIM ATTACKS AS THE LEFTIST GOVERMENT IN POWER HAS INSTEAD TURNED THE BLACK EYE IN PURSUIT FOR ITS IMMIGRATION POLICIES THAT HAVE NOW KILLED MORE OF ITS CITIZENS THAN EVER

Belgium has turned on immigrants in the wake of the Brussels terror attack as far-right skinhead groups are experiencing a surge in popularity, promising ‘drastic action’ in the aftermath of the atrocities.

Voorpost, a Belgian White Power organisation that is being closely monitored by security services, says its membership has rocketed following the carnage.

‘A huge number of people have started supporting us online. We have had more than double the number of new members in the last three days,’ Bart Vanpachtenbeke, the leader of the organisation, told MailOnline.

‘There is anger in Brussels now. I think there are dark times coming. We can’t give any information, but we are planning a lot of new protests. There is a lot of drastic action, a lot of noise coming.’ 

Security services believe there is a real risk of violence coming from the nationalist gang.

‘Intelligence agencies are concerned about Voorpost’s capacity for violent action,’ said Vidhya Ramalingham, fellow at the German Institute on Radicalisation and De-radicalisation Studies.

‘They are carefully monitoring members of the organisation. The numbers are far smaller than in radical Islam, but there is a serious threat.’

Other populist organisations have also reported a dramatic spike in support after the attacks. Tom Van Grieken, leader of the anti-Islam Vlaams Belang party – Belgian equivalent of France’s Front National – told MailOnline that his party’s Facebook page gained 10,000 new likes overnight.

Some of his online posts warning of the dangers of radical Islam, he added, have been shared more than four million times.

NIKE WITH ITS AIR JORDAN SNEAKERS WANTS TO REVIVE THE JAPANESE EMPIRE OF WW2 - AS IT EMBLAZON THE RISING SUN FLAG SYMBOL WITH THE AIR JORDAN DUNK LOGO ON THE BOTTOM OF ITS SHOES - THE LIBERALS ARE AT WORK BRINGING BACK THE ORIGINAL JAPAN TERROR OF ASIA

A professor at a university in Korea has sent a letter of protest to key executives at Nike about its iconic Michael Jordan shoes, calling for the sportswear giant to stop using the Japanese Rising Sun flag as a design on its sneakers.

Professor Seo Kyoung-duk at Sungshin Women's University, who is also a dedicated Dokdo campaigner, said Thursday that he sent the letter to Nike President and CEO Mark Parker, Vice President for Design Tinker Hatfield, six other executives of the company and also Jordan.

He said the multinational market player and its high-profile shoes should consider the overwhelming impact of its products on young people worldwide.

This is the third time for the company to use the flag's design on their shoes, a symbol of Japan's militarism and imperialism in the late 19th and 20th centuries, despite criticism here in Korea, with the previous incidents occurring in 2009 and 2013.

"I wanted to let the company know what it did was wrong and why," he said. "I would like to encourage the executives to avoid making the same mistakes in the future by helping them realize their insensitivity, indifference, and ignorance of historical facts."

Alongside the letter, he sent a picture and video footage in English explaining that Japan's Rising Sun flag symbolizes Japan's wartime atrocities like the Hakenkreuz, or swastika, the symbol used by the Nazi Party in Germany.
