Hidden camera in Italian forest reveals secret lives of wolves, brown bears and wild boar
Credit:

A secret camera hidden in Italy’s Apennine mountains has revealed a forest to be teeming with wildlife, from brown bears and wild boar to wolves and red deer.
Conservationists installed the camera and focused it on a clearing around a single beech tree for an entire year.
The camera recorded the
changes of the seasons, from summer through to the thick snow of
winter, and the comings and goings of animals, including foxes, badgers,
roe deer and red deer...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/23/hidden-camera-italian-forest-reveals-secret-lives-wolves-brown/

Vintage Snapshots of Swedish Midsummer looking suspiciously like a Spooky Cult
By Angelika Pokovba
image:from Miss Meadows Vintage Pearls
While the annual holiday of Midsummer typically brings to mind flower crowns and smorgasbords of perfectly-arranged picnic food, we’ve dug up some archive photographs from the Midsummers of yore, where the grainy black & white filters and old fashioned 19th century dress suddenly bring a distinctly more ‘culty’ vibe to the whole affair.
The ancient holiday is deeply rooted in Christian religion and pagan tradition, celebrated in Northern Europe every year around the summer solstice when the days never go fully dark in the region. Long and cold winters make sure that the anticipation for this summer holiday even rivals Christmas celebrations...http://www.messynessychic.com/2017/06/21/vintage-snapshots-of-swedish-midsummer-looking-suspiciously-like-a-spooky-cult/

Pray for Arizona’s Mount Graham During National Sacred Places Prayer Days
Apaches in the West, particularly those of the San Carlos and White Mountain tribes, have considered Mount Graham (known as Dzile Nchaa Si’An or Big Seated Mountain) as one of their sacred mountains since time immemorial.
Once a part of the original San Carlos Apache reservation, the mountain was taken from the tribe by the federal government in 1872, notwithstanding the fact that Apaches considered it a portal to the spirit world with the belief that spirits known as Gaahn, guardian spirits of the Apache, reside there and provide health, direction, and guidance. The mountain is also an ancestral Apache resting place, a ceremonial site, home to native medicinal plants and a species of endangered squirrel.
Despite the American Indian Religious Freedom Act, the University of Arizona and the Vatican selected the mountain top as home to a complex of 18 telescopes under the Vatican belief that the mountain was not sacred because it lacked religious shrines. The then-director of the Vatican Observatory said he was unable to find any “authentic Apache” who thought the mountain was sacred and he would not accept Apache oral history on the matter...https://indiancountrymedianetwork.com/news/pray-for-arizonas-mount-graham-during-national-sacred-places-prayer-days/

What We Know About the CIA’s Midcentury Mind-Control Project
By
Kat Eschner
smithsonian.com
The
project, which continued for more than a decade, was originally
intended to make sure the United States government kept up with presumed
Soviet advances in mind-control technology. It ballooned in scope and
its ultimate result, among other things, was illegal drug testing on
thousands of Americans. It wasn’t the first time that the American
government “without permission or notice, secretly gathered information
on its people,” writes Melissa Blevins for Today I Found Out. But MKUltra has gone down in history as a significant example of government abuse of human rights, and for good reason.
The intent of the project was to study “the use of biological and chemical materials in altering human behavior,” according to
the official testimony of CIA director Stansfield Turner in 1977. The
project was conducted in extreme secrecy, Turner said, because of
ethical and legal questions surrounding the program and the negative
public response that the CIA anticipated if MKUltra should become
public.
Under
MKUltra, the CIA gave itself the authority to research how drugs could:
“promote the intoxicating effects of alcohol;” “render the induction of
hypnosis easier;” “enhance the ability of individuals to withstand
privation, torture and coercion;” produce amnesia, shock and confusion;
and much more. Many of these questions were investigated using unwitting
test subjects, like drug-addicted prisoners, marginalized sex workers
and terminal cancer patients–”people who could not fight back,” in the words of Sidney Gottlieb, the chemist who introduced LSD to the CIA...http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/what-we-know-about-cias-midcentury-mind-control-project-180962836/

BREAKING: Canada passes radical law forcing gender theory acceptance
by Lianne Laurence
OTTAWA, June 15, 2017 (LifeSiteNews)
— Canada’s Senate passed the Justin Trudeau Liberals’ transgender
rights bill unamended this afternoon by a vote of 67 to 11, with three
abstentions.
The bill adds “gender expression” and “gender identity” to
Canada’s Human Rights Code and to the Criminal Code’s hate crime
section. With the Senate clearing the bill with no amendments, it
requires only royal assent in the House of Commons to become law.
Critics warn that under Bill C-16, Canadians who deny
gender theory could be charged with hate crimes, fined, jailed, and
compelled to undergo anti-bias training...https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-canada-passes-radical-law-forcing-gender-theory-acceptance

They call themselves the Three Percent. They’re armed, say they’re ready for war on Canadian soil, and experts say they are dangerous.
In front of Calgary City Hall, a couple dozen of them stood shoulder-to-shoulder in an attempt to make an unbreakable human wall. Each of them wore a uniform consisting of a black T-shirt emblazoned with a Roman helmet—a look that wouldn't be out of place in a biker gang. It was a line filled with mostly men, and a few women, who you wouldn't want to go toe-to-toe with in a bar.

Barack Obama’s Post-Presidential World Tour is Starting to Get Creepy

Experts fear spread of rare, lethal Powassan virus
POSTMEDIA NETWORK
The resurfacing of a tick-borne virus that can lead to permanent brain damage is striking fear into the hearts of experts.
Two people in Maine were hospitalized in April after being infected with the Powassan virus, a potentially lethal disease transmitted by ticks that can cause brain swelling and death to 15% of those who contract it.
Fevers, headaches, vomiting, weakness, seizures, and memory loss also are symptoms.
“These things are mutating and it’s becoming a scary world out there,” Dr. Kent Holford, a Lyme disease expert, told Fox News, adding warmer temperatures could be linked to increases in tick-borne illnesses...http://www.torontosun.com/2017/06/09/experts-fear-spread-of-rare-lethal-powassan-virus

Is it time for the truth about UFOs to come out in 2017
By our reporters 28 december 2016
Do you know that song by Phil Collins? “I can feel it, calling in the air tonight” That’s what I like to begin this article with, because we at World UFO Day feel something is in the air. Since December 21st, a lot of interesting turns have been made by the UFO community. Contact has been made, and I don’t mean with aliens, I mean on this planet. The image of UFO believers has made a shift. People around us are opening up to a truth that has been there all along. A lot has happened this year, and we’re asking ourselves out loud: “Is it time for the truth about UFOs to come out in 2017? To make this tendency clear, we have put a few facts together to show you what has set the tone.
