Ron Paul: Why We'll Never Know What Really Happened In Butler, PA

We live in an empire of lies, propped up by the mainstream media. And seeking the truth in this empire of lies is the greatest challenge for us in the moral bankruptcy in which we live.

Just days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, theories are flying from all directions. Many who ridiculed the “conspiracy theories” of conservatives are now suggesting the whole event was a set-up to boost Trump in the polls ahead of the election. Others suggest it was the “deep state” or even foreign actors who organized it. Former US Navy Seal and founder of Blackwater, Erik Prince, claims that “The fact that [the Secret Service] allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150 yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence.”

‘Unequivocally False’: Mayorkas Denies Turning Down Requests from Trump Campaign for Increased Protection

In the aftermath of a failed attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, many have faulted the U.S. Secret Service, which is tasked to protect current presidents, past presidents and potential future presidents.

Representative Michael Waltz (R-FL) said the Biden Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the U.S. Secret Service, denied requests to beef up Trump’s Secret Service detail. “I have very reliable sources telling me there have been repeated requests for stronger secret service protection for President Trump. Denied by Secretary Mayorkas,” Waltz wrote on social media. Monday, during an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas denied that was the case.

Michael Yon: The Invasion of Ireland

A month ago, Micheal Yon posted a video on Twitter to explain what is happening in Ireland with the wave of immigration which he says is actually an invasion.

Ireland has a military of about 6,700 but an estimated 120,000 “migrants” have entered the country.  These “migrants” are clearly invaders, “I’ve been there looking at it [in 2022],” he said and discussed a map prepared by a “military man” that shows the locations of the facilities that are housing the invaders. In Dublin County alone, there are 36 of these locations where between 30-2,000 men are being housed.  “If you’re familiar with Dublin, some of these locations control the entry and exit points of the city,” he said. “They seem to set up in militarily significant locations.  In other words, so that you can be controlled – if you’re in Dublin you can be controlled.”

Scotland and Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom’s other constituent Home Nations, keep separate statistics.

Prof. William Happer: “More CO2 is good for the world”

Professor Emeritus of Physics at Princeton University William Happer discussed common misconceptions in climate science, especially the negative reputation given to CO₂, on Sky News Australia last year.

“More CO₂ is good for the world, it’s not bad for the world.  And so, it’s absurd to be trying to reduce CO₂,” he said. Why is CO₂ good for the world? “If you look at the geological history … we’re in a CO₂ famine now compared to what’s normal for plants. And just about any plant if you give it more CO₂, and a lot more, it will do better … most greenhouses double or triple the amount of CO₂ … because the plants grow so much better – the quality of the flowers and the fruits are so much better,” Prof. Happer said.

The World’s rarest whale may have just washed up on New Zealand beach

Spade-toothed whales are the world’s rarest, with no live sightings ever recorded. No one knows how many there are, what they eat, or even where they live in the vast expanse of the southern Pacific Ocean.

The five-meter-long creature, a type of beaked whale, was identified after it washed ashore on an Otago beach from its color patterns and the shape of its skull, beak and teeth.
