WAS THE KING OF SWING SILENCED BY BULLET OF A US HITMAN? 17:32 - 26 February 2003 King of Swing Glenn Miller was a bisexual whose music had hidden subliminal messages used to brainwash German troops, a sensational new investigation claims. And although the bandleader is officially listed as dead, lost in an air crash over the Channel, fresh evidence suggests he was murdered by US secret service hitmen in the red-light district of Paris. The musician, whose body has never been found, may have been assassinated because he had threatened to blow the whistle on a group of gay...

Film to reveal heroine as a spy who helped JapanBy Jack Webster   American aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, did not die at sea in 1937.

This and other amazing revelations are to be the basis of a Hollywood film that aims to uncover the strange truth behind her mysterious disappearance. Earhart was already an American heroine when, at midnight on July 2, 1937, she and navigator Fred Noonan took off from New...

Media Deviants It amazes me how the media deviants bend over backwards to give a platform to the enemies of America. I feel if it was up to them, they would go straight to Osama bin Laden and give him detailed plans of the Americans attack strategy just to obtain an interview. Every time the secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, holds a press conference, the media deviants' only interest is what the Armed Forces are going to do next. It amazes me that these reporters who have a college or university education for 4 - 6 years can ask some...

Uncle John First of all, I'd like to say that although my family has never been dabbled in any paranormal practices, but we were always taught to have respect for the dead and those on "the other side". When this incident occurred, I was about 10 years old. It was close to midnight, and as usual, I had waited for my parents to go to bed and turned my bedside lamp on and began reading a book. There was motion in my peripheral vision and I looked up rather alarmed and saw my Uncle John standing there. Immediately, I felt...

SONIC DOOMAn acoustic weapon disorients rioters and afflicts an invading army with nausea. It can create ‘ghosts’ and arouse animal passions. Fantastic? JACK SERGEANT, delving into the possible uses and abuses of infrasound, isn’t so sure. Additional material by David Sutton.The human ear can only hear a limited part of the sound spectrum. Above that range is ultrasound and below it is infrasound; although largely unheard, vibrations in these ranges can still affect the human body in ways that are quite different from the informational aspect of simply listening. These higher and lower registers of sound frequencies are, today,...

Daddy's Little Girl, Kelly OsbourneInterview By Chauncé Hayden The Cleavers, the Bradys, the Cosbys...and now the Osbournes.

Marathon holds Hub hostage by Howie Carr Sunday, April 14, 2002 This much we know: There will be an attempt tomorrow by terrorists, both foreign and domestic, to bring this city to a complete standstill. We even know the code name the fiends have given their infernal plot. It is called the Boston Marathon. One other thing is certain about their dastardly ``Boston Marathon'' scheme to bring the city to its knees. It will succeed. Marathon Monday is my second favorite day of the year. My favorite are the other 364 days. It's bad enough, the fact that this weekend...
