Over 200 million year old mammal, the Long-Beaked Echidna, rediscovered alive! Latin name based on David Attenborough!

 The long-beaked echidna is one of just five egg-laying mammals in existence today, including the platypus and two other species of modern echidna, the researchers said.

 Suspected footage of Zaglossus attenboroughi -- the long-beaked echidna named after famed English broadcaster and naturalist David Attenborough -- was initially captured in 2023 by Oxford University during an expedition to the Cyclops Mountains, a rugged rainforest in Indonesia.

Last seen by Western scientists 60 years ago!

 These mammals are the "sole living representatives" of monotreme -- or egg-laying -- lineage that diverged from therians, or marsupials and placental mammals, more than 200 million years ago, according to the paper.

PAC charity scams: SCAM ALERT! VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER ALLIANCE is a FRAUD!

That money went into the pocket of the aforementioned Alan Bohms, a Knoxville-area resident with a colorful history and an apparently diverse set of interests, who was himself implicated in a number of multimillion-dollar scam PAC schemes last year.

 Sure enough - Knoxville is the location of the Volunteer Firefighter Alliance!

Political Marketing Services LLC, which is untraceable with any tool short of a subpoena. The company appears to be one of the biggest fish of the PAC network's 2020 scam cycle, pulling in millions of dollars for marketing services this year alone.

The company was created in Wyoming just last year, but FEC records show that in that time it has taken in massive revenues — some in lump sum payments up to $311,000 — but from only four PAC clients, with thematic names: Security in America PAC (which terminated this April after raising $3 million and spending $3,000), Law Enforcement for a Safer America PAC, American Wounded Veterans PAC and the Firefighters Support Association PAC.

One of those clients, Law Enforcement for a Safer America, pulled in more than $12.3 million this year, filings show, but spent only $400,000 — or 3% — on political activity. It paid more than that, $421,947, to a New Jersey company called The Contact Center, Inc., which made a total of $1.2 million in the 2020 election cycle and operates a bogus website with a phone number that appears tied to a modem or fax line.

Heroes United PAC, from fundraising in Montgomery County, which has more than 1 million residents and sits immediately north of Washington, D.C. 

Heroes United also goes by the names “Volunteer Firefighters Association” and “Association of Police and First Responders.”

I thank Jacob Berman, host of ‪@History-Valley‬ on Youtube, as well as his guest, Dr. Nicholas Peter Legh Allen, expert on scientific studies of the Shroud of Turin, who gave permission for me to present this slide presentation to my Youtube audience. I find Dr. Allen's case very convincing, and I have studied the Shroud of Turin since 1970, keeping up with all the major studies. The presentation is two hours, so it remains to be seen how many of my viewers will take the deep dive needed to watch it all, but I am thinking that many will. In a subsequent video I will go through some of these materials and other common arguments for the antiquity of the shroud and its connection to the historical Jesus of Nazareth, which is so ubiquitous out there in Youtube Land.

Drilled Podcast on how the Standing Rock protest was infilitrated by private security and FBI informants to create their lawsuit

 https://drilled.media/podcasts/drilled/12/s12-ep1

 Greenpeace, which was only tangentially involved in the Standing Rock protests, has been slapped with a $666 million bill for damages...despite the fact that the Dakota Access Pipeline was built, and has been making Energy Transfer millions of dollars for years. How did we get here? Cody Hall, an Indigenous activist who was a key figure during the Standing Rock protests and was initially also targeted in Energy Transfer's suit, walks us through how things went down back in 2016 and 2017, and where this suit began.

I worked for Greenpeace full-time in 1996 and Inila Wakan invited us to Pine Ridge Reservation - I was sent by my boss with one other worker....I was shown a creek polluted by uranium mining. We discussed how the Green Party was too Western - too racist....Our Greenpeace office was shut down because Germany insisted Greenpeace activists should only be volunteers.

 Alleen arrives in North Dakota for jury selection and is shocked watching it play out. The judge won't allow recording in the court, jurors who flat-out say they are biased against activists or are directly involved in the fossil fuel industry are put on the jury.

 I never went to Standing Rock - I already had been arrested eight times for civil disobedience. I did repeatedly promoted the Standing Rock protesters on Twitter and so my Twitter account was deleted very soon after I started it. That was the end of my use of Twitter.

But as an investigative journalist, I'm also supposed to follow the evidence. I know the makeup of the jury. I've read lawyer Trey Cox's own books. This case is stacked against Greenpeace.

I want to believe that Greenpeace will ONLY lose if Energy Transfer proves its case. And I haven’t really seen yet what kind of dirt the pipeline company has dug up.

But if Energy Transfer didn’t find a smoking gun? If Greenpeace loses anyway? Then I want to see how they pull this thing off.
