FORT CAMPBELL, KY (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Over 50 military installations are alleged to have toxic levels of water contamination that cause a variety of illnesses, diseases and cancers. Now, Fort Campbell has been added to that list. In November 2023, the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization, released information indicating that the groundwater on post is contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which could expose current and former servicemembers to potentially dangerous toxins. A lawsuit in federal court claims the PFAS contamination in Fort Campbell’s groundwater has registered well above the EPA-recommended limit.

Circa 1997, I was in Panama, on the Caribbean side, getting my boat ready to transit the canal to the Pacific. I was walking from Colon's old so-called yacht club (now long gone) through an industrial port area to get to Colon City. When I was passing about 20 fallow acres, I witnessed a training exercise by a dozen or so off-road motorbikes in green paint, each with a pair of uniformed soldiers on them. The soldiers riding on the back each carried a carbine. While I watched from a few hundred yards away, they did a "reverse starburst," that...

A recently resurfaced CIA document, which was declassified in 2017, has shed light on an experiment conducted on May 22, 1984. The experiment—part of a larger program often referred to as “Project Stargate”—allegedly transported the subject’s consciousness back in time, approximately one million years B.C. Project Stargate was a secret U.S. Army initiative established in 1977 at Fort Meade, Maryland, by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and SRI International. Its primary objective was to investigate the potential use of psychic phenomena, including remote viewing, telepathy, and psychokinesis, for military and intelligence applications, according to Daily Mail. The news outlet added,...

While NASA is searching for life on Mars, a CIA document claims it was found 40 years ago. The report, 'Mars Exploration May 22, 1984,' details how the agency used astral projection—the idea that a person's spirit can travel through the astral plane—to transport a 'subject' to Mars approximately one million years BC. The study was part of Project Stargate, a secret US Army unit established in 1977 that focused on anomalous phenomena, including remote viewing, telepathy, and psychokinesis. Participants were exposed to sounds like binaural beats and hemi-sync audio to induce altered states of consciousness and promote psychic abilities....

Joe Biden has never attended an Army-Navy football game while serving as the president of the United States. Will that change today? That's a question many people are asking this Saturday. Biden elected to skip out on attending the Army-Navy game in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Obviously, that didn't sit well with most Americans. They believe every president should attend this matchup. It's basically a tradition at this point. On Friday night, President-elect Donald Trump announced on social media that he'll be watching this afternoon's game at Northwest Stadium. He tweeted, "Will be going to the Army/Navy Game tomorrow to...

EDWARDS AFB, Calif.— Congress wants more information from the Pentagon on what authorities and technologies it needs to protect military installations from the threat of drone incursions, as a spate of high-profile incidents spark concerns that adversaries could use drones to exploit weaknesses in US base security. The compromise version of the fiscal 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, released on Saturday, includes several provisions aimed at improving the US military’s response to potential drone threats to its installations, including the creation of a counter-drone strategy. In addition to the mandate for the strategy — which was originally included in the...

West Point has acknowledged it inaccurately informed a media outlet that President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth, did not get accepted into the institution more than two decades ago. Earlier Wednesday, Hegseth posted on social media that ProPublica “is planning to publish a knowingly false report that I was not accepted to West Point in 1999” without any additional information. He accompanied that with a picture of his acceptance letter into the institution. Hegseth did not attend West Point but rather Princeton University, graduating in 2003. A ProPublica editor subsequently acknowledged in response to...
