A thick, 'mysterious' fog has descended upon a wide swath of the US, sparking fears of another 'Operation Sea Spray.' For one week in September of 1950, the US Navy sprayed massive amounts of bacteria into the air two miles off the coast of San Francisco, California. The aim of this secret biological warfare experiment was to learn how vulnerable large US cities like San Francisco would be to a biowarfare attack by terrorists. The bacteria used were Serratia marcescens, which can cause respiratory issues and meningitis, and Bacillus atrophaeus that can be lethal immunocompromised individuals. At the time, the...

Around 1,700 Ukrainian troops equipped by the West have disappeared after being trained in France, leaving the remainder of their brigade to face Putin's wrath alone. The 155th Mechanised Brigade, one of Ukraine's few units equipped with advanced Leopard 2 battle tanks, was supposed to bolster the country's defences. Instead, at least 50 soldiers disappeared while the unit trained in France, and by the time it entered its first battle, 1,700 troops had gone absent without leave.

Shell-shocked Democrats are considering dropping labels like 'progressive' or even ditching the party altogether after they got shellacked by Donald Trump in November. After a left-leaning campaign by Vice President Kamala Harris delivered lackluster results, some Dems believe they should drop polarizing positions and run as independents as the party veers away from working class values. 'The Democratic brand is in the toilet,' Lis Smith, former senior advisor to Pete Buttigieg's 2020 campaign, told the New York Times. 'Many of the Democrats who succeeded this cycle - our best over-performers in House races, for instance - are people who ran...

Two Oregon men who ventured into the woods of Washington state on a Christmas Eve hunt for Sasquatch have been found dead, authorities confirmed on Saturday. The 59-year-old and 37-year-old, whose names have not yet been released, tragically failed to return from their expedition, sparking a frantic three-day search across the rugged Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The men's deaths are believed to be the result of exposure to the harsh winter conditions. With no signs of foul play or injury, authorities speculate that the pair's lack of preparation for the extreme weather may have led to their deaths. The Sheriff's...

Gen Z cashiers are infuriating their bosses when they take cash from customers. According to reports young workers are deeming some bills counterfeit when they are in fact legitimate. According to one boss of a frozen yogurt shop in Florida, teenage employees had to be told that the bills they had refused to accept because they were fake, were actually 'just old.' Sam, 22, told Newsweek that the £10 and £5 notes that were confiscated at the store were 'pre-1999 as far as dating goes, so at least 25-30 years old. 'The $5 is even older, maybe from the 60s'...

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....

Why the mighty Stonehenge was built around 5,000 years ago has long been one of the great mysteries.But according to a new study, we may finally have an answer.Scientists say Wiltshire's famous stone circle was built as a symbol of unification between three distinct corners of Britain.We know that Stonehenge's rocky slabs were transported as far afield from southwest Wales and northeast Scotland.So the scientists, from University College London and Aberystwyth University, theorise that Scottish and Welsh people brought their own local stones down to Wiltshire as a well-meaning contribution to assembling the structure.In that sense, it represented a powerful...

The knives have come out — and so has the truth. Having been lied to for years by the Democratic Party machine and most of the mainstream media — who insisted Joe Biden was not diminished by his age but energized by it — well, it turns out we skeptics were right all along. And what we're learning is terrifying. Infuriating. An unacceptable abuse of power, a usurpation of the presidency itself by a nameless, faceless cohort. Will we ever know who these conspirators are? Two bombshell reports out this week, in the New York Times and the Wall Street...

Liberal Justin Trudeau has suddenly launched a Trump-style crackdown on immigration as the Canadian government crumbles around him. Canada's newly appointed Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc announced on Tuesday that the $1.3bn CAD ($930m USD) slate of new measures 'will secure our border against the flow of illegal drugs and irregular migration.' The new measures will include 24/7 surveillance of the border using 'helicopters, drones and mobile surveillance towers', and upgraded detection tools to catch drugs slipping over the border. The legislation is based on five pillars: Slowing the trade of fentanyl, improving border patrols' coordination, providing new tools for law...

Radiation levels have spiked in New York City, fueling conspiracy theories that the drones terrorizing the Northeast are searching for a missing nuclear warhead. The emissions, clocked by GQ Electronics' Geiger Counter World Map, were detected near the Bronx and Upper West Side Wednesday. The application shows a radiation reading of 1048 counts-per-minute (CPM), i.e. how many particles were detected, in the Bronx: higher than normal background radiation. The average person is typically exposed to background radiation that measures around five to 60 CPM, though CPM varies with sensor devices, according to NASA. And, on the the Upper West Side,...

A math teacher at a California high school left parents outraged after he ordered his students to either come out as gay or lesbian during an activity. Freshmen at Rancho Buena Vista High School were participating in an elective seminar class designed to teach them how to be socially current when they were given a diversity, equity and inclusion exercise last month. But the teenagers - and their parents - never could have expected what the assignment would entail. Students were given the following instructions: 'Stand in a circle. Each of you is now gay or lesbian, and you are...

Official records show the army has been developing and testing 'counterterrorism' drones in New Jersey for years, amid claims of a government cover-up. A 2018 defense contract awarded $50 million to a private robotics company to develop craft capable of creating 3D maps of urban areas for a 'counter weapons of mass destruction' program. The contract was given out by the Army's Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), which is located at the Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway, New Jersey, where mystery drones were first reported last month. symbol 00:33 02:24 Read More Meanwhile, documents show the Federal Aviation Administration...

Residents in New Jersey and the wider tri-state area claim they have become mysteriously ill after seeing drones in the sky. After witnessing or reading about the devices, residents revealed how they started coughing, suffering from a blocked or runny nose or experienced puffy, watery eyes. One woman in New Jersey said she became so sick it felt like she was 'coughing up my lung', while a second in New York City said her blocked sinuses must be because of the drones over Staten Island.
