🤖 Sinkites: Strange bodies of undersea sand that break the laws of geology
Hundreds of "sinkites," all around a kilometer across, are altering the strata in the North Sea. Earth's layers of rock are typically superimposed, or laid one on top of another, meaning that the oldest layers tend to be buried beneath the youngest layers. But researchers recently confirmed that this isn't always the case, as strange bodies of sand can cause stratigraphic inversion — the interruption of the ordinary order of rock layers — at the bottom of the sea. Revealing their results in Communications Earth and Environment, the researchers say that these bodies of sand, or "sinkites," appear beneath the North Sea and date back to the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, between around 20 million and 2.6 million years ago. Though stratigraphic inversions have been detected in layers of rock in the past, they haven't been detected at this scale or size, as there are hundreds of North Sea sinkholes that measure around a kilometer (over half a mile) across or more.

It's finally unraveling, as new declassified documents offer startling revelations about the Hillary Clinton campaign's alleged plan in 2016 to tie Trump to Russia through FBI and media This week, Washington was rocked by new releases in the declassification of material related to the origins of the Russian investigation. The material shows further evidence of a secret plan by the Clinton campaign to use the FBI and media to spread a false claim that Donald Trump was a Russian asset. With this material, the public is finally seeing how officials and reporters set into motion what may be the greatest hoax ever perpetrated in American politics. There never was a Russian collusion conspiracy. This is the emerging story of the real Russian conspiracy to manufacture a false narrative that succeeded in devouring much of the first term of the Trump administration.

He later summarized it on X also. Here is what he said: "What I call the Trump Doctrine is quite simple: Number one, you articulate a clear American interest and that's, in this case, that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. Number two, you try to aggressively, diplomatically solve that problem. And number three, when you can't solve it diplomatically, you use overwhelming military power to solve it and then you get the hell out of there before it ever becomes a protracted conflict." The contradictions from one through to three are obvious: how can there be a clarity of "American interest" when the policy...

🇮🇱 Time to De-Zionize the Israeli Mind
Israel is a deeply sick country which become monstrous. How is it that the descendants of the victims of Nazi atrocities feel that they can proudly film themselves carrying out similar atrocities? This is bitter fruit of cultivating the "Holocaust industry," in which Jewish victimhood has been made so sacrosanct that it has created an entire generation that feels that it can do whatever it wants, that crimes can never be committed by Israelis. Genocides do not happen in a vacuum. At least, when the Nazis were carrying out their murderous plans, they had the "decency" of trying to hide all their crimes, so the world would never know. But such is not the case with Israelis when it comes to the genocide in Gaza. Rather, it is now commonplace for ordinary Israelis to film their enthusiasm for genocide, and post it all on social media — because (a) they do not see killing Palestinians as a crime, and (b) they wear genocide as a badge of honor, because they see it as yet another...

Random mating between wild tomato plants and potato-like species 8 million to 9 million years ago may have given rise to one of our favorite carbs: the potato. Together with 107 extant, wild potato species, the cultivated potatoes we know today (Solanum tuberosum) belong to the lineage Petota. New research suggests that this lineage, or group of closely related species, emerged from interbreeding between the ancestors of two other lineages: Tomato, which consists of 17 living species, including the salad essential Solanum lycopersicum, and Etuberosum, which has three living species native to South America. "From an evolutionary perspective, we had an unresolved [disagreement] in the relationships between Tomato, Petota and Etuberosum lineages," Sandra Knapp, a research botanist at the Natural History Museum in London and co-author of the new study, told Live Science in an email.

On Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released new documents that give a firsthand account of what the office say is the whistleblower's "relentless efforts to expose the egregious manipulation and manufacturing of intelligence."

🇷🇺 Fact checking Brennan and Clapper
In the face of recent revelations concerning intelligence abuses that took place at the end of the Obama Administration, former CIA Director James Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper took to The New York Times to defend themselves and their legacies. The title is one for the ages: "Brennan and Clapper: Let's Set the Record Straight on Russia and 2016." There's a bit of audacity in that effort - those who twisted and manipulated the evidence to help manufacture the Trump/Russia hoax are now here to speak truth to power. And their piece deserves review. First, their claim about the use of the Steele Dossier in the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (which we addressed here and here), in which Brennan and Clapper state: "We have testified under oath, and the reviews of the assessment have confirmed, that the dossier was not used as a source or taken into account for any of its analysis or conclusions."

⚔️ The split over Epstein tells us something important about the MAGA movement
Last Sunday, Donald Trump's Department of Justice announced that they had concluded that Jeffrey Epstein did not have a list of clients and that the convicted sex offender and formerly well-connected financier really did die by suicide. To back that up, the DOJ released video footage from the area outside Epstein's prison cell that they claimed was raw — although the clip's metadata indicated it was exported from video editing software — and declared the entire case closed. Of course, the existence of a single client list or the specific manner of Epstein's death have always been secondary to the real questions his case raised. First, Epstein's partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted on federal charges of trafficking young girls, but who was receiving them? And second, who, if anyone, was directing, aiding, or bankrolling Epstein's activities? That, specifically, is what those who have been following this case closely for years were hoping to learn after Trump appointed Kash...

The 29-page annex to John Durham's 2023 Special Counsel report was released by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday shortly after it was declassified. The annex cites several "likely authentic" emails allegedly sent by Leonard Benardo, senior vice president of Soros' Open Society Foundations, throughout July 2016, which reveal details of the Clinton campaign's plan to falsely accuse Trump of Russia links and tie him to the alleged Democratic National Committee (DNC) hack.

🌐 The Gospel of Empire: How myth, Zionism, and the market conspired to dismantle peace
The modern global order is driven less by diplomacy and more by ancient myths, militarized theology, and a gospel of endless war masquerading as divine and democratic duty. There is an unspoken gospel driving global policy today, and it is not found in the dusty books of theologians or the calm chambers of diplomacy. It is a gospel cloaked in ancient scripture and printed in military-industrial budgets. It is a gospel of profit, divine mandate, and permanent conflict. As Israeli bombs fall once more on Gaza and missiles murder Iranian scientists and poets — backed by ironclad American rhetoric and weapons — the world is witnessing more than a regional war. We are witnessing a revelation: the modern geopolitical order draws not just from resources and realpolitik but from myths older than any state and more potent than any weapon. In Ukraine, for instance, merciless fascism has taken hold of many and beneath the spires of some of the world's most ancient tabernacles. But the...

❗ In Japan, bear attack fears rise after woman mauled outside disabled home
A woman in Japan was sent to hospital unconscious after an apparent bear attack outside a facility for people with disabilities, police said on Friday. More wild bears have been spotted in residential areas in Japan in recent years, resulting in a rising number of attacks and deaths. "A 73-year-old woman was found lying down with head injuries at the facility entrance on Thursday night," a local police spokesman in the northern Akita region said. Emergency doctors told police they believed it was a bear attack based on the injuries the woman suffered, the spokesman said. Security camera footage outside the facility showed a bearlike animal attacking the woman when she was walking with what appeared to be a rubbish bag, he added. "She was unable to talk due to injuries and was unconscious when sent to hospital." According to government data, bears attacked 85 people in the year ending in March, with three people killed. In the previous year, there were 219 attacks and six deaths.

Officials in east Japan's Chiba Prefecture revealed July 31 that all four whales which had washed up on a beach in the city of Tateyama were dead. The Chiba Prefectural Government's Awa civil engineering office stated that heavy machinery will be used to bury the sea creatures at shore. The whales had washed up on the city's Heisaura Beach. The office held an on-site survey on the morning of the same day. However, by this point a tsunami warning had been issued due to a magnitude-8.8 earthquake near the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, so the staff did not touch the whales directly, and instead checked their condition visually and by drone photography. None of the four beached whales were moving or spouting, so they were deemed to be dead. According to experts, all four of the animals are sperm whales.
