Unlike Charles Darwin and Claude Bernard, who endure as heroes in England and France, Emil du Bois-Reymond is generally forgotten in Germany — no streets bear his name, no stamps portray his image, no celebrations are held in his honor, and no collections of his essays remain in print. Most Germans have never heard of him, and if they have, they generally assume that he was Swiss. But it wasn't always this way. Du Bois-Reymond was once lauded as "the foremost naturalist of Europe," "the last of the encyclopedists," and "one of the greatest scientists Germany ever produced." Contemporaries celebrated him for his research in neuroscience and his addresses on science and culture; in fact, the poet Jules Laforgue reported seeing his picture hanging for sale in German shop windows alongside those of...

Professor Douglas Baird of the University of Liverpool's Department of Archaeology, who leads the excavation, reported that structures of different sizes have been uncovered: "Were the smaller buildings used for storage or food preparation? Could the medium-sized ones, around 4-5 meters, have served as houses? And were the larger buildings constructed for ritual purposes? One large structure, with its meticulous stonework, strongly suggests ritual significance." According to Baird, the finds suggest Mendik Tepe dates back to the very beginnings of the Neolithic period.

🏛️ Unaudited power: The military budget nobody controls

The U.S. federal debt has now passed $37 trillion and is growing at the rate of $1 trillion every five months. Interest on the debt exceeds $1 trillion annually, second only to Social Security in the federal budget. The military outlay is also close to $1 trillion, consuming nearly half of the discretionary budget. As a sovereign nation, the United States could avoid debt altogether by simply paying for the budget deficit with Treasury-issued "Greenbacks," as Abraham Lincoln's government did. But I have written on that before (see here and here), so this article will focus on that other elephant in the room, the Department of Defense. Under the Constitution, the military budget should not be paid at all, because the Pentagon has never passed an audit. Expenditures of public funds without a public accounting violate Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution, which provides: "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a...

Germany's declaration to stop sending weapons to Israel: symbolic gesture or major shift? While German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's announcement on Friday, August 8 to halt arms deliveries to Israel grabbed international headlines as a shocking policy reversal, the declaration's fine print tells a different story. What appeared to be a major shift in Germany's support for Israel's genocide in Gaza may prove largely symbolic, with crucial loopholes that allow German companies to continue to profit from the atrocities in Gaza. The devil lies in the details that most media coverage overlooked. According to media organization Jung und Naiv, the government's statement apparently applies only to future contracts, leaving existing export permits uncanceled — a crucial caveat also noted by Oded Yaron in Haaretz. This means the vast majority of German weapons flowing to Israel will continue uninterrupted. Merz qualified his statement by saying only weapons used in Gaza would be stopped,...

Speaking at an emergency summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) foreign ministers held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Fidan said that Palestinians needed collective action to end Israel's genocide in Gaza and settler violence in the occupied West Bank. "This meeting will focus on three urgent tasks: halting the war, forging a united response of the Islamic Ummah, and mobilising the international community." Fidan stressed that Israel's "genocidal aggression" continues in Gaza, where half a million people face catastrophic hunger, adding that the UN has now officially declared famine in the territory. "Hamas has already accepted a ceasefire plan proposed by Qatar and Egypt, yet the Israeli government still seeks the erasure of Palestine. "Therefore, we must join our efforts in sustaining and...

⚔️ Federal land ownership hampers Native prosperity

Native Americans live amid vast natural wealth, yet their communities are among the poorest in the United States. This paradox is not the result of a lack of ambition or ability, but a consequence of decades of federal policies that treat native peoples, not as equal citizens, but as wards of the state. The paternalism embedded in the federal trust doctrine has crippled economic development, discouraged investment, and stifled individual initiative. To unlock the full potential of Indian Country, the federal government must fundamentally reorient its relationship with native communities by restoring property rights, promoting economic freedom, and enabling energy independence.

From the depths of the ocean, UFOs surface as a Navy officer warns of a threat too real to be ignored. An extraordinary new investigation, originally published by Popular Mechanics is drawing fresh attention to a string of unexplained encounters between U.S. Navy personnel and unidentified submerged objects (USOs). These sightings — recorded over decades and across multiple oceans — are now being described by former officers as a legitimate threat and part of a global pattern that defies conventional physics. Unexplained Encounters During Training Missions In 2014, Lieutenant Ryan Graves, a U.S. Navy F/A-18 pilot stationed off the coast of Virginia Beach, began to detect anomalies during flight training missions. Initially dismissed as radar glitches, the signals reappeared repeatedly — only this time, they were backed by infrared and optical confirmation. According to Graves, these unidentified objects could hover completely still or accelerate to supersonic speeds. They were seen...

Japanese meteorological agencies said the Shinmoedake volcano had erupted in the early hours of Thursday morning, August 28, sending a plume of ash 5.5 kilometers (3.4 miles) into the sky. Officials warned of large cinders falling across a near-2 mile radius from the volcano, which sits in the Kirishima mountain range on Kyushu, a large southern island of Japan. They urged people to be vigilant in Kobayashi City, Kogen Town, and Kirishima City, issuing eruption warnings across the affected area. The eruption was recorded by the Fukuoka Regional Meteorological Observatory and Kagoshima Local Meteorological Observatory at 4:53 a.m. local time on Thursday. They said the eruption appeared to have ended at 14:50 p.m. local time. During field surveys, authorities recorded that ash fall had been heavy enough to obscure road markings.
