Here it is: Documents obtained by investigative journalist John Solomon through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). CONFIRMS King Solomon. In a stunning exchange, CIA Director Mike Morell turns to fellow Director John Brennan and asks if he would join in toppling the United States government during the November 3, 2020, election. Brennan not only agrees—but also expresses his gratitude. CIA Director Mike Morell: “Can I add your name to this list? Will be adding Leon Panetta, Sue Gordon, Jeh Johnson, George, Lisa Monaco, and Mike Rogers. And working on adding Dan Coats, Mike Rogers (HPSCI), and Tom Bossert. And lots of other IC career folk. “Trying to give the incapacitated vegetable, particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to push back on Trump on this issue.” CIA Director John Brennan: “Ok, Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on.” ——- It wasn’t just 51 former intelligence officials who were involved. The Central Intelligence Agency itself was actively involved as well, and its director, Gina Haspel, approved it. •David S. Cariens was informed about the Hunter Biden “intel” statement by a CIA employee. •David Cariens was read the text from the statement by a CIA employee. •David Cariens was asked to sign the statement by a CIA employee. Janice Cariens is retired CIA (1995), and she was also asked to sign the letter. In fact, Mike Morrel was a CIA contractor, and Christopher Wray had been sitting on the laptop since December 2019. CIA contractor—Mike Morell testified that such action by a CIA employees would be unethical and inappropriate. In other words: 2020 was a coordinated conspiracy involving the Obama-Biden campaign, the intelligence community—including the CIA and the FBI—to topple the U.S. government.

HOLLYWOOD CARTOON MADE FOR KIDS THREW IN YOUR CHILD’S FACE THAT ELITES & THE CIA WERE TRAFFICKING CHILDREN TO “EVIL SECRET ISLANDS” LIKE JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S! Hollywood has been throwing in our face for years that elite pedophiles like Jeffrey Epstein are trafficking children in tandem with intelligence agencies like the CIA - that YOU pay for! They not only did this in entertainment meant for adults, they flaunted it in cartoons that are geared toward children. This should enrage every single American! In 2005, the Cartoon Network ran an episode of the kid’s show Johnny Test featuring a helicopter named CIA Pizza — pizza is a pedophile code word that has been confirmed by the FBI, DOJ records, local law enforcement, the Wall Street Journal and many other sources — with the slogan “We Deliver To Evil Secret Islands”. This cartoon ran at the same time when we know Epstein was not only trafficking kids to his island, he also had many connections to the CIA and was most likely working with them! 1. Epstein met with Joe Biden’s current CIA Chief, William Burns, after his first child sex crime convictions. 2. When Epstein was serving his first jail sentence for child sex crimes, his bodyguard went to CIA headquarters for an alleged special training course. The CIA gave Epstein’s bodyguard a book with a secret message to deliver to Epstein. 3. Ghislaine Maxwell had a helicopter and submarine license. Maxwell transported trafficking victims to Epstein’s pedophile island via a helicopter he bought for her. So a cartoon meant for children, just happened to run an episode about delivering pizza aka trafficking children to secret evil islands that perfectly sums up the child sex trafficking operation Epstein & Maxwell were running. They’ve been throwing it in YOUR face and your children’s faces for years — including in the cartoons they watch that YOU thought were innocent. If this as a parent doesn’t enrage you, nothing will. Now is the time to say enough is enough & take action!

I thought a lot in these days to write about what happened in the past days, but because i saw them already lying (looks like to be liar is their inner nature) i will talk about the bad behavior and disrespect of cpf fans aka #bjyx or #yizhan during the days of mfw. I think everyone can stay outside the shows to see their favorite celebrities but respect should be the main value to follow, you are there for Xiao Zhan, he is doing his work, why are you bringing irrelevant people into HIS JOB EVENT?! Why do you want to push your fanfictions into his face? Why have you to disturb the common order of everyone there? Even people from other fandoms were shocked by their behavior! I will divide everything into 3 chapters - - 25th G show. They found a spot and attach a dirty banner and even G brand staff came out from the event asking to the removal of their disgusting banner and brought it away. I add also video of the fact. The cpf tried also to disguise herself wearing a red jacket, but she was not happy, the moment G brand staff went away with the banner, instead to be ashamed, she brought out new banners, with the visible surname of another person and their yellow colors! She also argued for long with a poor security guy who was really done So are you there for what? To see someone you claim to be fan or just for a selfish pleasure being disrespectful towards xz?!? - 27th we organized a loch special screening in a cinema, we were us xfx + some passerby we invited, the hall was private booked and it was totally filled. But some of them came to the cinema and argued even with the cinema staff! They tried to snatch into a private event and threaten the cinema staff 😱 - 28th T brand even was the worst day. They tried to pick fights since 3 am in between the street 😱 they stole one of our stool, they started to play loud wuji AT 5AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY!!! wth?! This is a disturbance for everyone, it’s not allowed! I had a small group of 4/5 behind me and they screamed to my ears every fk 10/15 min, trying to pick fights with us (we ignored them 95% of the time) and continue to push their luggage toward my friend who wasn’t even allowed to sit down for this! They were so chaotic and such a disturbance that after a while even the security guard in our zone noticed they were weird and started to monitored them closer. At certain time they exploded again and even the security guard was able to contain the she brought out new banners, with the visible surname of another person and their yellow colors!

I have seen some people circulating a 2017 screenshot, claiming that I am lying and pretending when I say that Baba was my friend and that I was like his daughter. In 2017, we were on different political sides. Like in any heated political contest, many things were said in the course of political banter, something both Baba and Uhuru openly acknowledged and apologised for, including on behalf of their supporters. From November 2018, I began working closely with Baba, shortly after his appointment as AU’s High Representative for Infrastructure Development. At the time, I was with the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), and our office supported his role. I was also part of his 2022 campaign, and in 2024 he personally appointed me into his AUC campaign team. Over a period of 7 years, I had the privilege of learning directly from him. He gave me numerous opportunities, travelled with me across Africa and beyond, and allowed me to sit in high-level meetings that shaped my perspective and growth. That was Baba! A man who never judged me by my tribe or my previous political positions. He saw my potential and gave me an opportunity. He often expressed how proud he was of my work and my convictions. The last time we spoke was on 8th October 2025, while he was still in India, a week before he passed on. I even made a post about that conversation on the same day. That was Baba…my friend! So, to those trying to twist this story to fit a convenient political narrative I will ask, WHO TOLD YOU? Do you claim to know me better than Baba did? And isn’t the same Ruto you now support the one who once called Baba all manner of names? Did he ever publicly apologise the way Baba and Uhuru did? What exactly explains this selective memory, this hypocrisy and these double standards? All in all, yesterday I was in Kisumu, and was so overwhelmed by the love that was expressed. On the way to the rally, so many young people kept calling me by name and saying how much they love me for supporting Baba. Others were even calling me msichana ya Baba. This is the real ground!

Whenever I’m discouraged, I’ll remember that ~4,000 Christian women from across the country gathered to be challenged by Biblical truth, bolstered by earnest worship, & buoyed by Christian friendship. No fluff. No emotional manipulation. None of the superficial stuff so many Christian women are fed. Every speaker went full throttle in telling these women - with gentleness and love - what is good, right, and true about God, sin, holiness, sexuality, femininity, abortion, motherhood, marriage, and so much more. All of the messages I’ve received from attendees have been incredibly meaningful, but this one sums up the consensus nicely: “Walked out of there with ZERO fear of man.” Praise God! That has nothing to do with me or anyone else. It’s just the Holy Spirit doing what He does. And He was with us yesterday. It was palpable. Whenever I’m asked about my audience, I always tell people that they’re the kind of women you’d want to babysit your kids. Just the best people. Kind, grounded, thoughtful, wise. So many moms and babies were there. This message meant so much to me: “We couldn't stop talking about how many babies were there and how amazing the space was set up for nursing and pumping. It was so different than any other women's event when it came to those accommodations and how welcomed the sweet little babies were.” And this one: “Someone held my fussy baby for me so l could listen to worship. Never met them, but the sweetest lady. I was so thankful.” Women came alone and left with best friends. Others wept while they worshiped and were held and prayed for by the strangers next to and behind them. God is kind, and He is up to good things. If you only look to the news or X to tell you what’s going on, you might miss the biggest and best things happening. I’ll tell you this: God’s eternal plan of redemption is going off without a hitch, and He’s going to win in the end. Soli Deo Gloria!

‼️IRREFUTABLE FACTS ABOUT Q • ANONS • JFK JR • AND "THE STORM"‼️ ---------- 🎯 "The storm is upon us" tweet Q told us to look for came directly from the OG John F. Kennedy Jr. account [Patriot1776🇺🇸] - which at the time was the most popular OG anon account. 🎯 [Patriot1776🇺🇸] used Trump's official POTUS seal as its avatar and an original photograph - uncirculated at the time - as it's header/background. this account was nuanced, trusted and was "Q'd" more than once. 🎯 according to Q - "THE TWEET" was to be posted when "The Storm" began. 🎯 ALL ANONS were purged from the internet on January 6, 2021 - this was "The Storm". 🎯 Patriot1776🇺🇸's last TWEET before being purged was sent at 7:17 PM • Jan 6, 2021 [timestamp] - and was EXACTLY what "The Storm" tweet was meant to be - down to the dots. ‼️THE STORM TWEET WAS A DECLARATION - A MOST IMPORTANT MARKER TO THE PLAN THAT MOST MISSED‼️ 🎯 WE [ANONS] WERE SUPPOSED TO LOOK - AND WE DID - BUT ALL OG's WERE PURGED THAT DAY - SO WE WERE UNABLE TO CONFIRM FOR ALL PUBLICLY. WE WERE GONE. 🎯 Q said exactly, "Look to Twitter: Exactly this: "My fellow "Americans, the Storm is upon us......." 🎯 Q NEVER said, "Look to X..." 🎯 Q NEVER said, "Look to Trump's Twitter account..." 🎯 on 12/12/2018 - Q conducted a Q&A session with anons where 2 different anons asked Q the same question, "is JFK Jr alive?". initially, Q answered no - the same question was asked five minutes later, but the word ALIVE was in all caps; Q answered yes. the links and responses below are still there today - and there's nothing anyone can do about it. you have a YES and a NO - and you just have to choose for yourself. 🎯 on November 2, 2021 - George Soros hired & paid a few hundred LARPS to gather at Dealey Plaza in Dallas where they posed as MAGA/Anons and held a fake rally for JFK Jr. that had nothing to do with MAGA, Q or anons. this was designed to make anons look unhinged, knowing we could not defend ourselves publicly - while simultaneously conflating Q with MAGA who were also infiltrated on January 6 - BUT were NOT purged from the internet. they infiltrated MAGA to turn them against Q - knowing that we had woken up the world. 🎯 REMEMBER - at this time anons were disappeared from the internet completely - we had no way to respond or reply to anyone anywhere as we were ALL deplatformed - not until almost a year later in February 2022 when Trump launched TruthSocial did we have a chance to post again publicly. it didn't matter, the damage was done, and was permanent - to this day. ----------

I reported my abuse in 2010. I decided that day I need to get justice. I drove down to Coventry from Huddersfield, walked into Little park street police station and made my complaint. Over 3 days I did multiple interviews in special units in Coventry and Halifax. I had to take myself back and relive the trauma, and at times I felt I was there again re living everything. Lucky for me all the files from the children's home of the groomers turning up, ringing the unit phones was very well documented in my daily staff logs which are in archive in Coventry city Council buildings for 70 years. Also Coventry Evening Telegraph did a piece on me in 1999. They sent an undercover journalist into my children's home who then reported about the groomers calling us on the units phone and collecting us. The men also made telephone cards with thier numbers on advertising me which were found by the staff. Despite all this this, and hospital reports of some of my attacks 3 or 4 months into the investigation, my case was closed down. I gave up. Now I have hope. All the proof is there. For the first time in 30 years I feel like im going to be heard, and those responsible will face justice. The life long damage this has done to me has been difficult to live with, as ive also lost a baby girl who was forced adopted because the UK social services believed I would never be able to parent because of the damage caused. Imagine, I gave birth and they walked into the delivery room and took her even before the placenta was delivered. UK social services have alot to answer to. Locking us victims up for months at a time to keep us safe....but groomers allowed to roam free. Today my journey for justice really begins. If there are any UK solicitors that see this and want to help, please get in touch. A massive thank you goes to Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 for being our voice while the world stayed silent.

Before I was a soldier, I traveled frontline areas, mostly in Donetsk Oblast, to bring food and water to civilians living under russian terror - for 2 years. Eventually I was evacuating people and animals more than I was bringing in aid. Julie (Pictured) was my friend Sergei’s dog. Sergei helped me find the animals and people in Sivers’k who needed help the most, in the areas of the city that was usually off limits. Julie was always with him as he was driving around helping the people of Sivers’k, his home town, now under constant shelling and FPV threat by the russians. On April 14th,2024 Sergei and three others were murdered by russians. Their only crime, being Ukrainian on Ukrainian soil. I found out through a telegram channel notification, “4 civilians killed in Sivers’k”. There were no names but I instantly knew he was gone. russians will call this land their own and say they are liberating these people but he was buried with a Ukrainian flag because he was a Ukrainian man in Ukraine. The biggest enemy to the Kremlin. Two weeks later I went to visit his grave and I found Елка, russian for Christmas Tree, sitting 100m meters from his grave, waiting near the entrance of his usual place of work. I brought her home and found his family but his wife and child are living in an IDP centre, their lives uprooted by war, and they can’t take her in. Now Julie is mine. A constant reminder of why I am here, why I am fighting and why no matter what propagandists will tell you about Donetsk Oblast, it’s all just Kremlin bullshit. The most common theme with these Vatniks is that they will say anything to blame anyone else but the people who are guilty of the crimes. They will scream about Nazis and corruption, like russia doesn’t have an extreme problem with both of these things, to excuse genocide. A soldier has a choice when he holds a gun and enters a town. And we see time and time again what russians are capable of doing to other human beings. We will never forget and we will never forgive. #RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine

Exposing Fraud and Crime in the Migrant Crisis: What I Found and the Retaliation That Followed : Exclusive During my investigation into the migrant crisis, a staff member at a taxpayer-funded shelter came forward with allegations of widespread fraud, including no-show jobs, empty rooms being billed, and expenses unrelated to migrant services. According to sources, the no-show positions alone were costing taxpayers millions of dollars per month, amounting to tens of millions annually. I believe this represented only a small portion of a much larger problem tied to migrant contracts. The migrant program has cost taxpayers more than $7 billion, nearly 20 times more per migrant than Chicago. I immediately brought this information to someone close to government and requested to speak with a senior City Hall official. That person told me they were already aware of the misconduct and stated, “everybody does this.” After that conversation, the same individual attempted to give me access to information and opportunities that no other journalists had. At the same time, I was discouraged from reporting on the alleged scams and urged to move on from the story. Despite that pressure, I continued my reporting and ultimately published the findings they had wanted buried. As my reporting expanded, I began focusing on alleged organized criminal activity operating out of some taxpayer-funded migrant hotels. Multiple sources alleged these locations were being exploited as hubs for serious crimes, including child exploitation, illegal gun sales, drug trafficking, and other illicit activity. Some shelter rules appeared structured in ways that limited law enforcement involvement or meaningful oversight, allowing criminal enterprises to continue operating unchecked. It often felt as though one arm of the system was undermining the other—despite both operating under the same authority. After I published the reporting on fraud and criminal activity, the response from some at City Hall shifted sharply. Messages went unanswered. Calls were ignored. Requests for information were met with silence. My primary contacts and sources within City Hall cut me off completely after the stories were released. Some people I approached for questions and information no longer responded—no more information was coming in. At the same time, certain individuals outside of City Hall warned me that I was “messing with other people’s money,” suggesting that financial interests and external actors were attempting to intimidate me and influence how the story was handled. Months later, the consequences escalated further. I was informed that a police officer had been approaching other officers on the street, warning them not to speak with me and falsely claiming that I get officers in trouble, and could not be trusted. The apparent goal was to isolate me, intimidate sources, and disrupt the flow of information. Importantly, I do not believe this misconduct was limited to one political party. Based on what I encountered, I believe individuals aligned with both Democrats and some Republicans had involvement in, or benefited from, aspects of the migrant crisis and the contracts surrounding it. The issue appeared less about politics and more about money, access, and the absence of accountability. Reporting on these issues came with professional consequences: access was restricted, sources were chilled, and retaliation followed publication rather than preceding it. The experience underscores the risks journalists face when investigating misconduct tied to government-run programs and taxpayer-funded contracts—particularly when those investigations intersect with powerful financial interests, organized criminal activity, and institutional resistance to oversight.

‼️Remember When Erika Kirk LIED Right To All Our FACES On National Television About Charlie’s FINAL Texts? 👀 On Glenn Beck’s show on December 20th, Erika Kirk looked straight into the camera and said: “Charlie was not messaging people the day before saying they were going to kill him. I have his cell phone. It never happened.” This was a lie. Multiple people have already gone on record confirming they received messages from Charlie in the days leading up to his assassination where he expressed fear that someone was going to kill him. Here are the receipts: 🔷Frank Turek publicly stated that Charlie texted him the day before the event saying “they’re going to take me out.” 🔷Harrison Smith confirmed Charlie expressed fear that Israel would be taken out. 🔷Andrew Kolvet confirmed Charlie had been receiving threats and texting about them. 🔷Candace Owens showed actual messages on her phone where Charlie said his life was in danger. 🔷Mike Frye (One of Charlie's friends) Said Charlie told him this and wanted to hire him to replace his security. These weren’t vague feelings. These were direct messages from Charlie expressing that he believed he was going to be killed. Erika sat on national television, holding Charlie’s phone, and flat-out denied these messages existed. That’s not a mistake. That’s not grief. That is someone actively working to bury the truth about her OWN husbands murder. That by defination makes her a co-conspirator. If she truly has his phone and has read every message, then she knows these texts exist. Which means she chose to lie about them anyway. This is the same woman who has attacked anyone asking questions about Charlie’s final days. This is the same woman who has tried to shut down investigation like mine into what really happened by sending a flurry of cease and desit letter's threatening lawsuits. At this point, it’s no longer just suspicious. Erika Kirk is actively participating in covering up the truth about her husband’s assassination. FOLLOW Candace Owens — she’s been exposing these contradictions from the very beginning. RT this. More people need to see it.

We said goodbye to our beloved Odom last night as it was his time to go. To say I am devastated would be an understatement because that dog has saved my life more times than I could even begin to fathom. To be with him at the end of his amazing life was an honor I do not take for granted. Most of my days and routines over the last few years were centered around him and ensuring that he received what he needed. Whether it was receiving insulin for his diabetes at the same times every day or planning walks and meals to accommodate what worked best for him, my schedule revolved around what he needed. To some, this might seem like a nuisance. For me, it made me better. I made his routines my routines. Walking him twice a day gave me time to reflect and appreciate all of the good in my life. Planning time for his exercise ensured I did the same for myself. Being immediately anchored by his weight on a walk because he wanted to appreciate something he had noticed taught me to slow down and take in moments in a way I wasn’t used to. His routine was my routine, and it made me better. When I first saw him at the Edmonton Humane Society Society, I wasn’t ready for a dog. My brother Alec was there, and he saw me with Odom, and he knew that I was in love immediately. I didn’t find Odom, but Odom found me. I left, not taking him home and immediately knew it was a mistake, and that he was meant to be in my life. I went to the Edmonton Humane Society the next day, 30 minutes before it opened, to ensure that I would be the first person to go through the doors. I headed straight for where Odom was, and he came home with me that day. With all of the ups and downs I have had in my life since, my love and pride in that dog were a constant. I am terribly sad, and I am taking solace in this quote from Andrew Garfield on grief: “This is all the unexpressed love, the grief that will remain with us until we pass because we never get enough time with each other, no matter if someone lives till 60, 15, or 99.” I love that dog because that dog loved me. Bye Odom…You will always be my best friend.

Reshaping previous ideas on the story of civilisation, Gobekli Tepe in Türkiye was built by a prehistoric people 6,000 years before Stonehenge... Atop a limestone plateau near Urfa called Gobekli Tepe, Turkish for "Belly Hill", Schmidt discovered more than 20 circular stone enclosures. The largest was 20m across, a circle of stone with two elaborately carved pillars 5.5m tall at its centre. The carved stone pillars – eerie, stylised human figures with folded hands and fox-pelt belts – weighed up to 10 tons. Carving and erecting them must have been a tremendous technical challenge for people who hadn't yet domesticated animals or invented pottery, let alone metal tools. The structures were 11,000 years old, or more, making them humanity's oldest known monumental structures, built not for shelter but for some other purpose. After a decade of work, Schmidt reached a remarkable conclusion. When I visited his dig house in Urfa's old town in 2007, Schmidt – then working for the German Archaeological Institute – told me Gobekli Tepe could help rewrite the story of civilisation by explaining the reason humans started farming and began living in permanent settlements. The stone tools and other evidence Schmidt and his team found at the site showed that the circular enclosures had been built by hunter-gatherers, living off the land the way humans had since before the last Ice Age. Tens of thousands of animal bones that were uncovered were from wild species, and there was no evidence of domesticated grains or other plants. Schmidt thought these hunter-gatherers had come together 11,500 years ago to carve Gobekli Tepe's T-shaped pillars with stone tools, using limestone bedrock of the hill beneath their feet as a quarry. Carving and moving the pillars would have been a tremendous task, but perhaps not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The pillars are carved from the natural limestone layers of the hill's bedrock. Limestone is soft enough to work with the flint or even wood tools available at the time, given practice and patience. And because the hill's limestone formations were horizontal layers between 0.6-1.5m thick, archaeologists working at the site believe ancient builders just had to cut away the excess from sides, rather than from underneath as well. Once a pillar was carved out, they then shifted it a few hundred metres across the hilltop, using rope, log beams and ample manpower. Schmidt thought that small, nomadic bands from across the region were motivated by their beliefs to join forces on the hilltop for periodic building projects, hold great feasts and then scatter again. The site, Schmidt argued, was a ritual centre, perhaps some sort of burial or death cult complex, rather than a settlement. That was a big claim.. .. Archaeologists had long thought complex ritual and organised religion were luxuries that societies developed only once they began domesticating crops and animals, a transition known as the Neolithic. Once they had a food surplus, thinking went, they could devote their extra resources to rituals and monuments. Gobekli Tepe, Schmidt told me, turned that timeline upside down. The stone tools at the site, backed up by radiocarbon dates, placed it firmly in the pre-Neolithic era. More than 25 years after the first excavations there, there is still no evidence for domesticated plants or animals. And Schmidt didn't think anyone lived at the site full-time. He called it a "cathedral on a hill". 🎥© arkeolojievreni (IG) #archaeohistories

Reer Puntland, when you were bleeding in the mountains, they did not give a damn about “Somalia.” In fact, they saw you as the problem. When our sons were dying on the frontlines, they did not consider it a fight for Somalia against terrorism. They dismissed it, minimized it, and exploited it. For 28 years of sacrifice, what was the reward? Internal division engineered against us. Funding deliberately cut from Puntland’s defense forces, while billions in international counterterrorism money were pocketed by Mogadishu elites. Western taxpayers’ dollars were rerouted away from security and into corruption, money laundering, and vanity infrastructure projects. Make no mistake: the greatest enemy to #Puntland has never been outsiders. It has always been the BLM-Darods who are hell-bent on your destruction. Instead of investing in Puntland, strengthening it, and treating it as a pillar of stability, they chose to undermine it at every turn. Now, in their darkest hour, they believe Puntland is somehow obligated to rescue a failed banana republic. Yes, many politicians are corrupt and paid for. But what I owe my people is the truth: #Somaliland is gone. This is not recognition from some irrelevant, symbolic actor. Somaliland has been recognized by one of the most powerful entities on earth. Even if Puntland wanted to once again save an ungrateful project, it no longer has the capacity to do so. We warned them. They ignored us. They pushed us to this abyss. Now the choice is simple and brutal: the survival of Puntland as an entity, or our descent into the graveyard of forgotten nations.

Two stone giants sit in the Egyptian desert. Each was carved from a single block of stone, weighs 720 tons, and was dragged 420 miles from its quarry. They are so large that, three and a half thousand years later, you can still see them from more than 10 miles away... They are called the Colossi of Memnon, and they were built around 1350 BC by the pharaoh Amenhotep III to guard the entrance of his mortuary temple on the west bank of the Nile, opposite modern-day Luxor. Each Colossus stands 18 metres (60 ft) tall, including its plinth. They were carved from a stone called quartzite sandstone, quarried at el-Gabal el-Ahmar, the Red Mountain, near modern-day Cairo. The southern statue is a single, unbroken block. The northern was cracked by an earthquake in 27 BC and partially rebuilt in the Roman era. Quartzite sits at 7 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. The Egyptians who built the Colossi were a Bronze Age culture. Their chisels were made of copper and bronze, which register around 3 to 4 on the Mohs scale. They could not have cut the stone directly. The mainstream answer is that they did it by abrasion. According to archaeologists, they used small handheld stones harder than quartzite, mixed with sand and water, and slowly ground the figures out of the block by hand... Each finished statue weighs 720 tons, roughly the weight of a hundred adult elephants. They were quarried near Cairo and installed near Luxor, 420 miles south. The Nile flows northward, which means a river journey would have required moving the stones against the current. Many experts believe that the stones are too heavy to have been transported upstream on the Nile. Some Egyptologists argue, instead, that the blocks were dragged overland on wooden sleds for the entire 420 miles. Whatever happened in the desert thirty-four centuries ago, and however it happened, the result is harder to argue with than any explanation. The statues still stand. And I think that is the most astonishing thing of all: they have stood through every empire that has tried to outlive them. The Colossi were already standing when Tutankhamun was born. They were standing when Alexander entered Egypt. They were standing when Cleopatra met Caesar. They were standing when Roman tourists climbed up to scratch their names into the plinth. And they are still standing today... If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

💔 A Plea from a Father Exhausted by War 💔 I am a father of a family of eight. I lost my job because of the war and have become unable to provide even the most basic necessities for my children. We are living through extremely difficult days, and only God knows the bitterness of what we are enduring. My fear for my children grows with each passing day. My youngest child is suffering from a severe skin rash, and the doctor has warned me that treatment must be provided urgently before it spreads to my other children. Yet I stand helpless before this pain, unable to afford the treatment or even the basic needs of my family. For a very long time, we have not received a single donation. Honestly, I am exhausted from pleading and waiting. Sometimes I ask myself: Have we been forgotten? Why does no one feel the suffering of my children? What have they done to deserve this pain and deprivation? If you were in my place, what would you do? I feel ashamed to ask for help, but I have no other choice left. My hope is in God, and then in kind-hearted people who still care about the suffering of others. We are not looking for luxury or comfort. We are simply seeking to live with dignity and to provide treatment and food for our children. I kindly ask you to visit my donation link and look at my family's situation with compassion. I am writing these words with a heart filled with pain that cannot be described. If you are able to help, please do not hesitate. And if you cannot donate, sharing this post may help it reach someone who can. I wish you and your families health, safety, and peace. Thank you to everyone who extends a helping hand, and may God reward you abundantly. 🤲❤️

I don't believe in angels & fairies - but I encountered them myself in Norway. Still shaking my head in disbelief (and relief that angels do exist) At the fag end our Norway Updates drive through - my wife Nidhi & I were hiking to Preikestolen (the world famous #PulpitRock) close to the city of #Stavanger. It's a must do if you are in Norway - though it's not the easiest of hikes, especially if it has rained so much, making the terrain slippery. We took the chance, reached Pulpit Rock and enjoyed some amazing fjord views - on our way back however Nidhi's leg slipped and she seriously sprained / fractured her ankle. About 4 kilometres from civilisation, biting cold winds, rain fast approaching and unable to move - I was at my wits end on what to do next. However fellow hikers asked me to call 113 - assuring me that help will reach us. Really? With no other option - I called the emergency number with a lot of skepticism, but what happened next...showed me Norway's finest. Within minutes the responders had used my phone to pin my location and assured me help was on the way. In less than an hour - an ARMY of mountain rescuers - accompanied by doctors were with us. They examined Nidhi - put her leg in a vacuum bag - opened up a portable stretcher - and 6 super-humans carted Nidhi all the way to the base camp. All with a smile. Wait it gets better. While Nidhi & I were worried if we could even afford this rescue - we came to know that these angels were from the Norwegian People’s Aid Norsk Folkehjelp - an NGO that offers Rescue Service and First Aid to those in need - for free. Wait it gets even better. These rescuers were not part of any paid / professional team that was at the park / trail - they were normal working Norwegians who just land up to help when the need arises. One of the rescuers was a surveyor / another who has been doing this for 15 years - works in the petroleum industry! For a nation that spends so much time in rain / darkness - I came to understand why Norway is one of the happiest nations on the planet. I am at a loss of words - but I am deeply thankful & in awe of Norwegians & Norwegian People’s Aid. You can check out their work on Instagram - Facebook -

Sent to us from an officer who told us this was filmed last Wednesday afternoon at Riverside Veterinary Clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana. Made us stop in our tracks and left us in TEARS. Here it is, in it's entirety: "The officer is Sergeant Paul Greer. He's 41 years old. Fourteen-year veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The dog is Bruno. A ten-year-old German Shepherd who served eight years as Paul's K9 partner before a joint condition ended his working career two years ago. When Bruno retired from active duty, Paul adopted him immediately. Brought him home. Bruno spent his retirement on Paul's couch, on Paul's bed, in the passenger seat of Paul's personal truck. The transition from working partner to household companion was seamless. Bruno had always been Paul's dog. The badge and the vest were just part of the job. Over the past several months, Bruno's condition had declined steadily. The joint condition spread. He had difficulty getting up. Stopped eating regularly. Paul had been managing Bruno's comfort with guidance from Dr. Angela Reese at Riverside for months. Last Tuesday evening, Bruno stopped getting up entirely. Paul called Dr. Reese that night. Wednesday afternoon, Paul drove Bruno to Riverside. He carried Bruno in from the truck himself. Wouldn't let the techs take him. Paul's partner, Officer Dana Choi, came with him. She filmed quietly on her phone from the corner of the room. She told us afterward that she asked Paul's permission before she started recording. He nodded. Paul sat on the exam table with Bruno cradled across his lap and chest. Bruno's head rested against Paul's shoulder. His eyes were half-open. His breathing was slow and easy. Paul bowed his head and pressed his face into Bruno's fur. Bruno lay still for a long moment. Then slowly — carefully — he raised both front paws. One at a time. And wrapped them around Paul's shoulders. And held on. Paul made a sound that Dana said she will never forget. Dr. Reese, who was standing nearby preparing, went completely still. Her assistant took a step back. Nobody moved. Dana told us: 'Bruno could barely lift his head that morning. But he lifted his paws and he held Paul. In that moment, with everything he had left, he held him. I think he was saying thank you. I think he was saying goodbye on his own terms.' Paul stayed in that position for a long time. The room stayed quiet. Bruno passed away peacefully a short time later, held in Paul's arms. Paul sent a message to his precinct group chat that evening. It said: 'Bruno is at rest. He was the best partner I ever had. Eight years on the force and two years at home. He worked hard and he loved hard and he went out the same way. Holding on.' The precinct held a small informal memorial the following morning. Bruno's vest and badge number were framed and hung in the K9 unit hallway. Some partners carry you through the hardest years of your life. And in the end, if you're very lucky, they find just enough strength to hold you one last time." #lawenforcement #K9
