New Study Ties Vanishing Stars to UFOs and Nuclear Activity
These “transients,” as scientists call them, were spotted during the first Palomar Observatory Sky Survey, a project that photographed the heavens before the launch of the first artificial satellite in 1957.
A recent study by researchers Stephen Bruehl from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Beatriz Villarroel from Nordita in Sweden suggests these mysterious flashes might be linked to two surprising phenomena: above-ground nuclear weapons tests and reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena, commonly known as UAPs or UFOs.....<<<Read More>>>...
Screens are corroding teens’ belief in a healthy life
Screens directly damage sleep by emitting blue light, which suppresses melatonin. This creates a chronic sleep deficit in teens, impairing their cognitive function, emotional regulation and academic performance.
Immersion in curated digital worlds can make real-world activities like exercise and socializing seem less valuable and appealing by comparison.
This includes enforcing screen-time limits, creating tech-free zones (especially at bedtime) and actively promoting engaging offline activities and real-world connections.
The goal is to balance technology's benefits with intentional habits that protect sleep, foster real-world resilience and rebuild the belief that personal well-being is a priority.
A scientific study delivers a stark warning to parents and policymakers: The glowing screens that dominate modern adolescence are not just stealing sleep, they are corroding the very belief in a healthy lifestyle. Published in the peer-reviewed journal Brain & Behavior, research conducted on 700 Turkish high school students establishes a troubling link between increased screen exposure, poorer sleep quality and a diminished commitment to health-conscious living. This investigation provides concrete data to a crisis felt in households worldwide, suggesting that the battle for teen well-being is being lost in the blue light of smartphones and tablets....<<<Read More>>>>...
Governments sold their nations into debt slavery during covid
How many times have we heard that oil prices and inflation are
increasing the cost of governments’ borrowing? How many times have we
heard that this is because of events in the Strait of Hormuz?
You may be surprised, or not, to discover that they are not telling you the full story.
Oil
prices and inflation are proximate causes, economist Peter C. Earle
says. The real problem began several years ago during the so-called
covid pandemic.
Something unusual is happening in global bond markets, and it is more consequential than the usual swings in yields. Government borrowing costs are rising across much of the developed world. The US 10-year Treasury is approaching 5 per cent and the 30-year Treasury yield is at levels not seen since 2007. “Meltdown”
is too dramatic a word, but the bond market is clearly sending a
message. Bond prices fall when investors demand higher yields, and
global investors clearly want to be paid more for lending money to
governments carrying large debts, running persistent deficits and still
contending with above-target inflation.
Japan is perhaps the most striking case. Its 10-year government bond yield has moved through 3 per cent after spending most of a generation near zero, and its 30-year borrowing cost has risen above 4 per cent – a multi-decade high. Australia’s 10-year recently reached 5.16 per cent. Germany’s 10-year Bund has been trading around 3.3 per cent, with the 30-year above 3.8 per cent. Britain, France and other developed economies are seeing versions of the same thing. The particulars differ from country to country, but the direction does not....<<<Read More>>>...
More Than 60,000 Arrested in Five Years for ‘Communications Offences’ in ‘Orwellian’ Policing Crackdown
A major free speech row erupted last night after it was revealed that more than 60,000 people have been arrested over the past five years for ‘communications offences’ – some as trivial as viewing disparaging TikTok videos.
The astonishing figure has been described as ‘Orwellian’, and having a ‘chilling effect’ in stifling opinions online.
The statistics – to be published in a hard-hitting report this week – also highlight the chaotic implementation of rules on ‘malicious’ messaging, with some police forces making 14 times more arrests under the powers than others.
The report, by campaign group Big Brother Watch, discloses that at least 62,199 people in the UK have been arrested for such offences over the past half-decade, with 18,510 being charged and 12,292 convicted.
Campaigners say that although a proportion of the arrests will be justifiable – such as intervention to stop threatening messages from abusive partners in domestic violence cases – the scope of the laws has spawned a rash of over-zealous policing of everyday communications.
The report cites the case of West Midlands Police visiting the home of a vulnerable teenage girl to accuse her over a TikTok post containing a teacher’s image with negative comments.
They demanded that the girl hand over all her devices and either attend a voluntary interview or face arrest – even though she had not created, shared or commented on the video.
The investigation later concluded with the child formally told that no further action was taken. The force defended their actions on the grounds that they were “investigating alleged malicious communications offences”....<<<Read More>>>...

Could gravity be evidence that the universe is a computer simulation?

Bankrupt Council to Spend £2.6 Million Removing British Flags From Streets
Birmingham City Council said removing British flags lining the streets would cost £2.6 million, court documents reveal.
The bankrupt council – run by a coalition of Liberal Democrats, Greens and independents – said removal works would cost the equivalent of £132 per flag.
St George’s and Union Jack flags have been plastered across Britain since last year as part of Operation Raise the Colours, a movement in favour of promoting national pride.
Around 20,000 flags were installed on lamp posts across Birmingham, which will cost approximately £2.6 million to remove, according to documents submitted to the High Court.
Birmingham City Council has more than £3.5 billion of debt, the most of any local authority in the country. In September 2023, it issued a section 114 notice, effectively declaring itself bankrupt, after over a decade of Labour majority control.....<<<Read More>>>...
Met Office uses unreliable temperature records from Kew Gardens to record the hottest temperatures in the UK
A few days ago, the Met Office admitted that Kew Gardens is a CIMO Class 5 site.
“Class 5 sites should not be used for climatological purposes, I look forward to the Met Office removing the spurious ‘record temperature’ from their website,” Paul Homewood writes.
The World Meteorological Organisation’s (“WMO’s”) Commission for Instruments and Methods of Observation (“CIMO”) establishes global standards for weather station siting and classification. Its classification system is a global framework that indicates how closely a weather station’s siting aligns with ideal exposure conditions.
The WMO is a specialised agency of the United Nations.
The Siting Classification for Surface Observing Stations on Land was formally introduced by WMO in 2014 and uses a Class 1 to Class 5 scale to assess the quality and representativeness of a site’s exposure for meteorological measurements like temperature, humidity and precipitation.
Class 1 represents an ideal, reference-grade site with wide-open exposure and minimal local influence, while Class 5 indicates an inappropriate environment with significant local obstructions or heat sources. It allows for broad international comparisons of data quality, with higher classes (1–2) indicating high confidence in data representativeness and lower classes (4–5) suggesting notable local exposure characteristics.
The Met Office internally rates stations as “Excellent,” “Good,” “Satisfactory,” or “Unsatisfactory,” and excludes Class 5 data from national climate records, while quoting Class 1–4 data....<<<Read More>>>....
What happens when we never switch off transmitters
Modern life is increasingly surrounded by devices that communicate wirelessly almost without interruption. Smartphones sit beside our beds, Wi-Fi routers remain active around the clock, Bluetooth earbuds transmit close to the head, smart meters send radio-frequency signals from outside homes, and smartwatches can remain in contact with the body throughout the day.
Unlike an obvious environmental hazard, wireless radiation is largely invisible, silent and difficult to perceive. A person can spend an entire day surrounded by transmitting devices without ever noticing them. That made the question of cumulative exposure particularly compelling – and particularly difficult to ignore....<<<Read More>>>...

The mystery of the 8,000-year-old rock paintings of Sego Canyon
The most ancient petroglyphs date back 8 thousand years, and the tribe that created them does not even have a personal name in history, they are simply called “archaic peoples”.
Some of Sego’s drawings are fairly common, representing people with farm animals or scenes related to hunting, but about 80 figures are among those that ufologists consider evidence of paleocontacts. This theory states that intelligent extraterrestrial beings (sometimes called ancient astronauts) visited Earth in the distant past, influencing human culture, technology, or religion....<<<Read More>>>...
The Sumerian Tablet That Says Someone Powerful Is Living Among Humans — And No-one Knows Who
What if an ancient Sumerian tablet described a powerful being living among humans — hidden in plain sight, unnoticed by the very people surrounding it?
This documentary explores an ancient mystery surrounding Sumerian texts, the gods they describe, and the possibility of a powerful presence existing within the human world. The tablet’s alleged clues raise disturbing questions about identity, concealment, and why such a being would choose to remain among ordinary people.
Was this figure simply another deity described through ancient mythology, or does the story point toward something far more mysterious? Why would a powerful being live among humans without revealing its true nature? And if the ancient writers believed such beings could walk unnoticed among humanity, what were they trying to preserve?
From Sumerian mythology and ancient Mesopotamian beliefs to the hidden meanings behind enigmatic tablet traditions, this investigation follows the clues and examines what they may have originally meant.
The answer may change how the ancient stories are understood.
UK government claims people who do not want to ingest folic acid through their food can avoid it if they choose to, really?
From 13 December 2026, almost all non-wholemeal wheat flour in the UK must contain folic acid, and mills have been legally able to start adding it since Autumn 2024.
Asked to let people opt out, the Government replied that people can “avoid fortified flour if they choose to or need to.”
Choice was meant to be in the form of wholemeal, gluten-free products and ancient grains. Products in every one of those supposedly protected categories now contain folic acid. Even organic is no guarantee.
So, what do British shops look like in 2026? Is it as easy to opt out of ingesting folic acid as the Government suggests?...<<<Read More>>>...
Do You Practice Self-Care?
But self-care can be hard to practice. It often seems much easier to think about other people’s needs before our own, to prioritize caring for our friends, family, spouse, children, pets — or even our possessions like a house or car — above our own care. Why is that? The joy of making someone else happy is immensely rewarding. Taking care of our belongings can give us satisfaction. What we might not always remember is that self-care is not an indulgence, but a necessity — how can we be there for those we love if we’re not taking care of ourselves?
If you’ve been feeling a little wobbly with self-care, try this simple practice. Take a moment to sit quietly and ask yourself: “What’s one easy thing I can do now that would feel good?” Maybe it’s enjoying a moment of silence. Maybe it’s sipping a comforting cup of tea. Whatever it is, do it with your full acceptance and presence. Think of self-care as an invitation to be kind to yourself and then take that positive, rejuvenating energy forward with you into your interactions and experiences. Start small and go from there, with little daily acts of self-love that will nourish your soul. (Daily OM)
The Lost Technology of the Old World — Hidden in Plain Sight
What if the lost technology of the Old World was never truly lost — but has been hidden in plain sight inside ancient architecture for centuries?
In this documentary, we investigate mysterious Old World technology, ancient engineering, monumental pagodas, forgotten construction systems, and rare 19th-century photographs of Myanmar and Bagan. These surviving structures reveal something far greater than impressive architecture: the remains of sophisticated knowledge systems involving geometry, materials, surveying, logistics, craftsmanship, and generations of specialized builders.
How were enormous temples and towers constructed without modern machines? Why do some ancient structures appear far more advanced than the societies photographed around them? Were these monuments continuously built, restored, inherited — or are we looking at fragments of technological traditions that history no longer fully remembers?
Rather than assuming impossible machines, we examine the historical evidence, architectural anomalies, early photographs, and forgotten engineering behind the Old World.
The buildings are still here.
The knowledge that created them may not be.
The war on your DNA may be happening in your bathroom
Chapter 6 of "UNBREAKABLE" argued that routine exposure to products such as shampoo, perfume, cosmetics, deodorant, detergents and lotions may place a cumulative burden on the body's DNA-repair systems.
Mike Adams focused on oxidative stress, explaining that normal metabolism already produces reactive molecules and arguing that additional chemical exposures could increase DNA and cellular damage.
The episode highlighted "fragrance" or "parfum" as potentially representing mixtures of undisclosed individual compounds, with perfumes, shampoos, air fresheners, candles and scented laundry products contributing to exposure.
Adams argued that detergent and fabric-softener residues – including quaternary ammonium compounds, phthalates and optical brighteners—can remain on fabrics, leading to prolonged skin contact and potentially contributing to oxidative or cellular stress.
The chapter urges viewers to reconsider products marketed as "clean," "fresh," beautiful or protective, asking what their ingredients may mean biologically and how the body's repair machinery responds to repeated daily exposure....<<<Read More>>>.....

Huge UFO Stopped a US Nuclear Submarine: The USS Memphis Incident
The USS Memphis, a Los Angeles-class nuclear attack submarine, was submerged at a depth of 150 meters (approximately 492 feet), about 150 miles off the coast of Florida. While the exact nature of their mission wasn’t specified, it was described simply as a “training mission.”...<<<Read More>>>...
The Shocking Truth About Water-Guzzling Hyperscale Data Centers
++++++++++++++++++
We are witnessing one of the most breathtaking acts of public deception in modern history, and it centers on the simple claim that artificial intelligence data centers don't consume water. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick recently stood before the public and declared that data centers don't use water. This is not just inaccurate; it is a dangerous, deliberate lie designed to obscure the true environmental catastrophe of the AI buildout.
As I detailed in my own coverage of the data center boom, these facilities are not the clean, ethereal 'clouds' the industry wants you to believe -- they are industrial parasites that consume the very resources we need to survive.
What makes Lutnick's claim so infuriating is its sheer audacity. Just a year ago, he was singing a completely different tune, acknowledging that these facilities demand immense volumes of water to cool their machinery. The contradiction isn't a slip of the tongue; it is a calculated pivot designed to fast-track a corporate takeover of our energy grid and water supply.
Lutnick and Trump, among others, are running a top-down misinformation campaign, and those of us who have been sounding the alarm about Big Tech's predatory expansion are now being proven right. The stakes have never been higher, as local communities are forced to sacrifice their most vital resources at the altar of Silicon Valley's delusions of grandeur....<<<Read More>>>...
ONS Caught Peddling Fake Heatwave Deaths Scare
Last week the Telegraph reported:
Three times more people die during cold snaps than when the weather is very hot, official data show.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that from 1988 to 2025, about 42,000 people died on the hottest days. On the coldest days almost 150,000 died, in the same period.
However, data suggest the difference between the numbers of deaths because of cold and heat is shrinking....<<<Read More>>>...
What the Hopi Said Was Living Beneath the Grand Canyon
For generations, the Hopi have preserved an extraordinary oral tradition about what existed beneath the Grand Canyon long before modern explorers arrived. Their oldest accounts describe underground chambers, the sacred Sipapu, and mysterious beings said to have lived below the earth before humanity entered the present world.
Then, in 1909, the Arizona Gazette published one of the most controversial stories in American history. An explorer claimed to have discovered a vast hidden cave deep inside the Grand Canyon containing ancient chambers, unusual artifacts, preserved mummies, and inscriptions unlike anything previously documented in North America.
Was it an elaborate newspaper story... or did it describe something the Hopi had already been preserving through oral tradition for generations?
In this documentary, we examine the 1909 Grand Canyon report, Hopi oral history, the Arizona Gazette articles, the geology of the Grand Canyon, and the historical records surrounding one of America's most enduring mysteries. We explore what is documented, what remains debated, and why this story continues to fascinate researchers more than a century later.
Could two completely different sources—a newspaper investigation and an Indigenous oral tradition—be describing the same place from different perspectives?
Watch the evidence and decide for yourself.
Disclaimer: This documentary examines historical newspaper reports, Indigenous oral traditions, archaeological research, and historical records. Some claims discussed remain debated and have not been independently verified. The purpose of this video is to explore the available evidence and encourage thoughtful discussion.
Hijacking the tragedy in Nepal for climate activism is utterly shameless
When natural disaster strikes, climate charlatans pounce.
Over 1,200 people are dead, and over 4,000 are missing after a glacier collapsed, sending flash floods into Nepal and Tibet.
Climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann (of Climategate fame) wrote in the UK Guardian that Nepal’s flood reveals “the apocalyptic future that lies in store if we fail to take dramatic climate action.”
The executive director of the UN Green Climate Fund, Mafalda Duarte, shamelessly turned the tragedy into a call for cash, saying, “We see when there is will, that finance is mobilised to respond to emergencies. For some reason, we don’t see the same type of response to climate.”
Nepal’s Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal wants China, India, the US and other industrialised nations to compensate Nepal financially, framing it as a matter of “moral liability.” He said Nepal “will turn this into an issue of justice in the international arena.” He added, “This is not about asking for aid; it is about the obligation of large nations.”
Nepal’s flash flood was not caused by your SUV or refrigerator....<<<Read More>>>...

Christianity is still the world’s largest religion, but the world is changing (for the worse)
Christianity dominates the map across the Americas, Europe, much of sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania. Islam forms another striking geographic belt, stretching from West Africa through the Middle East and into Central and South Asia.
The United States maintains a Christian majority at 64.0% of its population, while Canada stands at 53.3%. In the United Kingdom, the share of self-identifying Christians falls just short of a majority at 49.4%.

Green Taxes Are Decimating British Industry – And My New Report Proves It
This week I published a new report into Britain’s oil refining sector, Fuel, Refineries and the UK ETS: What Policymakers Need to Know. Its conclusions are alarming.
Britain lost two oil refineries last year – Grangemouth closed in April and Lindsey followed in August, leaving just four operating sites: Fawley, Humber, Pembroke and Stanlow. My report finds that Government policy, and in particular the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), is making it increasingly hard for the remaining refineries to compete.
This matters because liquid fuels still provide 47% of UK final energy consumption. Diesel, petrol and jet kerosene remain essential to transport, aviation, agriculture, construction and industry, with no alternatives available at scale in the near term.
Yet Britain is increasingly dependent on imports. In 2025 we imported 15.5 million tonnes more petroleum products than we exported, the largest deficit since becoming a net importer in 2013. Closing domestic refining capacity doesn’t mean we stop consuming refined products, it just means we import more, effectively outsourcing their production. Bizarrely, Government policy is actively encouraging this.
My analysis finds that the four remaining UK refineries face a net ETS cash cost of around £200 million per year. Their gross carbon-cost disadvantage relative to refiners outside carbon-pricing regimes is around £540 million per year. That’s a significant handicap in an internationally competitive, relatively low-margin business....<<<Read More>>>...
The Power of Just 4 Minutes

The practice is straightforward: 20 seconds of vigorous movement, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated eight times. These brief bursts of intensity are especially effective in supporting cardiovascular health, improving endurance, and supercharging metabolism. And perhaps the most fascinating part of Tabata is what happens after the session is over.
As you begin to cool down and recover, your body continues to burn calories for several hours — something known as the afterburn effect. It’s a natural bonus, almost like a fire that keeps giving off warmth even after the flames have died down. And it’s a wonderful reminder that caring for ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated. Even on the busiest days, four focused minutes can become a quick but powerful way to care for your body, build strength, and rejuvenate your energy and vitality. (Daily OM)
The Star Forts That Suddenly Appeared in Five Continents — Identical Geometry and No Architect
Fifteen hundred star forts on six continents. Identical geometry. Perfect mathematical precision. One Frenchman is credited with 160 of them. In every other case, a single name appears once in the record, produces a masterwork of fortification, and vanishes. The training pipeline is invisible. The intermediate learning is absent. The predecessor structures are described as vague. And when the star fort became obsolete in the mid-1800s, the knowledge required to build one disappeared with it.
This is the story of Bourtange, Palmanova, Goryokaku, Macapá, Kazan, Elmina, Suomenlinna, and Fort McHenry — and the silence that sits at the joint of every attribution.

The genome under siege – from everyday chemicals to nuclear fallout
DNA polymerases replicate genetic material during cell division, while proofreading and mismatch-repair systems correct errors. Without these safeguards, mutations could accumulate rapidly.
The chapter highlighted natural background radiation, oxidative processes from normal metabolism, environmental chemicals and more extreme ionizing radiation such as nuclear fallout.
The episode examined mutations, insertions and deletions, frame shifts, chromosomal translocations and particularly double-strand breaks, where both DNA strands are severed and repair becomes especially difficult.
Adams discussed research he interprets as suggesting spike protein may interfere with DNA-repair pathways, while the episode connects genetic integrity with environmental exposure, radiation, nutrition and cellular repair—setting up the next chapter's focus on DNA damage from radiation, chemicals and nuclear fallout.

Why Were The Most Beautiful Tartarian Buildings Demolished First?
Why would some of the most beautiful and elaborate buildings be among the first to disappear?
Across historic cities, photographs and architectural records show monumental buildings featuring enormous domes, ornate façades, elaborate masonry, grand staircases, decorative ironwork, and extraordinary craftsmanship.
Yet many of these structures were later demolished, altered, replaced, or simply disappeared from the modern urban landscape.
In this documentary, we investigate why some of the most architecturally impressive buildings were removed from historic city centers. We examine old photographs, architectural surveys, municipal records, demolition documents, historical maps, preservation records, and contemporary accounts to understand what happened to these remarkable structures.
Were they demolished because they had become obsolete, structurally unsound, too expensive to maintain, or incompatible with modern urban planning? Or does their disappearance support the alternative Tartarian interpretation of a deliberate erasure of an earlier architectural world?
The evidence is more complicated than either explanation suggests.
Rather than presenting speculation as established history, this documentary compares the surviving records and examines what can actually be established about these lost buildings—and why they disappeared.
AI Data Centers Are Training Your Replacements… (And They Aren’t Going To Be Human)
Donald Trump wants you to believe that AI data centers are America's golden ticket. In a social media post that was as insulting as it was revealing, he warned that communities that don't embrace these sprawling server farms will "end up being backwards and poor." "Let Data Reign," he declared, framing opposition as a betrayal of American greatness. But I don't see a vision for prosperity in his words. I see a technocratic coup, and Trump is its most enthusiastic cheerleader.
The president's dismissive attitude toward the 70% of Americans who oppose these facilities tells you everything you need to know about whose interests he's serving. These aren't public utilities for the common good; they're the physical infrastructure for a surveillance state and an autonomous workforce that will make the human citizen obsolete. They are being built to run the AI agents, the algorithmic enforcers, and the autonomous weapons systems that will manage a population the elites no longer have any use for. I've been warning about these very machines for years -- the sprawling grid of GPU farms is not just a construction project, it's a calculated move to shift power from the people to the platform...<<<Read More>>>....
‘Supercharged’ Global Greening in African Savannah: CO2 Brings Huge Boost to Grass Growth
More evidence of global greening from carbon dioxide fertilisation has been published in the prestigious publication Nature.

Net Zero: China’s plan to take over the West
The retreat of the United States and her allies before the Chinese-backed Taliban in Afghanistan and the failure of the West’s feeble attempts at diplomacy in the face of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine share a sinister aetiology that has attracted remarkably little attention. A relentless, targeted campaign of desinformatsiya – systematic reputational destruction or “unpersoning” by Communist front groups posing as environmental campaign entities but in reality fostered, funded and too often founded by Moscow and Beijing – has all but silenced thousands of sceptical climate researchers who had formerly been able to debate the climate question in the sunlight of the agora, and has deterred tens of thousands more who would have spoken out in their support but dare not do so...<<<Read More>>>...
What Was Here Before the Grand Canyon?
Lake Mead just fell to its lowest level on record — and the ground coming out of the water sits exactly where old maps drew a kingdom nobody admits existed.
For roughly a hundred years, the best cartographers in Europe drew a named kingdom across what is now Arizona and Nevada: Tontonteac. It had borders. It had a capital. It had seven cities — Septem Citta — and a river. Writers who had no interest in America mentioned it in passing. A 1664 Latin geography textbook listed its river alongside the Indus, the Euphrates and the Rhine. And then, somewhere between 1580 and 1650, the maps changed, the kingdom vanished from the paper, and we were taught it was never there.
This episode follows the paper trail: the Seven Cities of Cibola and the expeditions sent to find them, the mentions that survive in books nobody thought to check, the Latin line beside the capital reading "Abacus, capital city, taken — now Granata," and the 1925 newspaper front page that announced a ruined city in Nevada. Plus the theory an independent researcher builds from all of it — presented as theirs, not mine.
Then the part that isn't history at all: the reservoir is emptying, the town of St. Thomas is standing on dry ground after decades under sixty feet of water, and most of the site still lies under what's left of the lake.
I'm not telling you what happened here. I'm telling you what was drawn — and when they stopped drawing it.
Protecting Your Nervous System
And yet, your nervous system is not fixed. It is living, responsive, and capable of change. Neuroscience shows us that, with somatic movement and practices based on Polyvagal Theory, we can strengthen our connection to the parasympathetic nervous system, the soothing “rest and digest” response that helps the body return to a place of safety and ease.
For many of us, this is the missing piece. As we learn how to come home to this calmer state, long-held tension can begin to soften. Stress loosens its grip. And even when life inevitably activates us, something new becomes possible: We can feel the trigger without becoming lost inside it. We can create just enough space to remain grounded, breathe deeply, and choose our response rather than being swept away by reactivity or emotional overwhelm....<<<Read More>>>...
