Eddington, the author of "The Triumph of Fear," drew on his experience serving on Capitol Hill during the final four years of President George W. Bush's administration. He wrote that he witnessed the post-9/11 era from the vantage point of a senior House staffer on the Intelligence Committee, where Holt's efforts to halt the expansion of surveillance programs frequently failed because colleagues refused to join....<<<Read More>>>...
Although the document was declassified more than a decade ago, it has recently resurfaced online, fueling outrage among some Americans who say it raises troubling questions about why Cold War research hinting at possible cancer treatments sat in intelligence archives for decades.
'The Americans knew. They read it, classified it CONFIDENTIAL, and locked it in a vault for 60 years,' one person shared on X, including the CIA documents in the post.
Another X user said: 'The CIA knew from 1951 that cancer was parasites.'...<<<Read More>>>...

Crispin Flintoff spent 21 days at the Old Bailey attending the trial of three men accused of arson attacks on properties linked to Keir Starmer. “What I heard in court was not the story later told by the BBC,” he said.
Three young men stood accused of carrying out arson attacks on a car and two properties linked to Keir Starmer. They had been arrested by counter-terrorism police and spent a year in Belmarsh prison awaiting trial. At the centre of the prosecution case was a mysterious Telegram user known as ‘El Money’, who was alleged to have directed the arsons but was not himself in the dock.
Three young men stood accused of carrying out arson attacks on a car and two properties linked to Keir Starmer. Roman Lavrynovych, 22, a Ukrainian national from western Ukraine, was accused of setting fire to a Toyota RAV4 previously owned by Starmer at 2.42am on Thursday 8 May 2025, and then being involved in fires at Ellington Street at 2.05am on Sunday 11 May and Countess Road at 1.35am on Monday 12 May. Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, a Romanian national who had lived in Britain for nine years, was accused of helping connect people and arrange payment. Petro Pochynok, 35, a Ukrainian-born man who had lived in the UK for several years, was accused of involvement but was later acquitted.
The three had been arrested by counter-terrorism police and spent a year in Belmarsh prison awaiting trial. At the centre of the prosecution case was a mysterious Telegram user known as ‘El Money’, who was alleged to have directed the arsons but was not himself in the dock.
There were obvious questions from the start. How did these men know details about Starmer’s former car and two addresses connected to him? Why had they been held in Britain’s highest-security prison? Who exactly was ‘El Money’? And why, if this was such a serious case involving the Prime Minister, were so few people there to watch it?...<<<Read More>>>...
Beneath modern cities lie buried structures that official history struggles to explain—entire systems entombed under meters of sediment, rebuilt over, then quietly erased.
This documentary investigates evidence of a global catastrophe around the year 1700, tracing synchronized destruction, reconstruction, and technological regression across continents.
Using archival records, engineering reports, and forgotten maps, it explores whether human civilization didn’t smoothly advance into the modern era—but recovered from a reset that history no longer openly acknowledges.
Foundling wheel, Italy surnames, Esposito, Innocenti, Trovato, abandoned babies, and hidden history all converge in one of the darkest systems early modern Europe ever built. For centuries, infants were placed into rotating wooden wheels set into church and hospital walls, renamed by institutions, and absorbed into a system where survival was often the exception.
What if your last name is not really your last name? What if it is a label assigned to a child no one officially claimed?
Across Italy and much of Catholic Europe, foundling hospitals used the ruota degli esposti — a revolving box built into the wall of a church or hospital. A mother could place her baby inside, ring a bell, and disappear. Inside, the child would be received, baptized, renamed, and entered into institutional records. In Italy, surnames such as Esposito, Trovato, Innocenti, and in some regions Colombo became part of that history. In many family trees, the surname itself is the surviving evidence.
The official story was mercy. The numbers tell a harder story.
In Dublin, parliamentary records show roughly 127,000 admissions to the Foundling Hospital, with mortality averaging around 800 deaths for every 1,000 children admitted. In one horrific five-year stretch, more than 5,000 infants entered the infirmary and only a handful survived. In London, the Foundling Hospital’s General Reception took in nearly 15,000 children in just four years, and mortality rose to 81 percent. Across Europe, institutions relied on anonymous surrender, wet-nurse systems, transport networks, and bookkeeping that often hid the true scale of infant death.
And then there are the tokens.
When mothers surrendered a baby, they sometimes left behind a half coin, a ribbon, a medal, a bead, a scrap of cloth — something that could prove identity if they ever returned. The London Foundling Museum still holds hundreds of these objects. One ribbon once carried the embroidered words: Cruelle Separation. Cruel separation. The institutions kept the tokens. The children rarely got the connection back.
This is what makes the story bigger than one city or one country. It is not only about infant abandonment. It is about how Europe built a system to process poverty, illegitimacy, and social shame through architecture, paperwork, and religious charity — and how that system may still be visible today in the surnames millions of people carry without knowing why.
If your Italian family tree stops suddenly… if an ancestor appears from nowhere… if a surname seems oddly generic or symbolic… the missing branch may not be random. It may have begun at a wheel in the wall.
Officially, the US authorities stated that it was a secret military weather balloon that monitored nuclear weapons tests. However, most ufologists and ordinary people believe that an alien ship with a crew crashed there.
That the wreckage of the ship was taken away by the military and subsequently carefully studied, and among the crew there were one or two survivors, who were then interrogated and received a lot of valuable information from them....<<<Read More>>>...
For example, the Roman natural historian Pliny the Elder wrote about unicorns in the first century AD. The unicorn features in both medieval Christian and Celtic beliefs, and is Scotland’s national animal. The unicorn’s prominence in European culture spread across the globe with colonisation.
In southern Africa, colonial European ideas encountered older indigenous beliefs about one-horned creatures. I’ve highlighted this in a recent research article about some of the region’s rock art....<<<Read More>>>...
