The Media Proclaim Themselves ‘Infrastructure’
By Tim Graham ~ Long before the pandemic, the local-news business had been in a tailspin. Newspapers across the country lost classified-advertising revenue thanks to Internet sites like Craigslist.

Biden’s Climate Order Will Undermine U.S. Financial Stability

How Google Is Attempting To ‘Newspeak’ The English Language

Civilization is a Children’s Project
The average life expectancy four thousand years ago was twenty-five years. Before that it was even less. This means that the world we live in is the creation of young adults (many of them were children by modern standards). Everything that mankind has achieved in the prehistoric age—from the invention of wheel, to the discovery of agriculture, domestication of cattle, development of language, rise of the world’s first primitive religions, mythologies, philosophies, and political systems—was accomplished by people who would be of ten to thirty-five years.

Did An Autonomous Drone Hunt Down A Human Target In Libya Last Year?
*RT: **Rise of the killer robot: An autonomous drone hunted down a human target in Libya last year & no one is talking about it * The prospect of AI-led warfare is inching ever closer if events in Libya last year are anything to go by.

Government Report: We Can't Explain UFOs, But Don't Think It's Aliens

While the U.S. military has long been “obsessed” with such objects, the government hasn’t always been upfront about exactly what’s happening with sightings of unidentified flying objects.

This World War II Operation Turned Old Planes Into Flying Bombs
*Caleb Larson* *World War II, Europe* Operation Aphrodite was bold but ultimately unsuccessful. *Here's What You Need to Know*: This flying bomb concept turned out to be a major failure. Old B-17 bombers were packed with explosives and turned into flying bombs to take out German U-boat pens and V-2 rocket sites. *Bombs Away* In 1943 and 1944, the German V-missile campaign was in full swing, with thousands of V-2 bombs hitting England in 1944 alone. Something had to be done—the V-2 assembly and launch sites had to be taken out. But how? The plan was simple: use older B-17 Flying... read more
