"A woman who was part of her school's Gifted and Talented program in the early 2000s believes the classes may have been a part of the Pentagon's secret UFO unit.

"The Gifted And Talented Education program (GATE) provides students with an advanced curriculum and activities to foster creativity and critical thinking skills.

"Some former GATE students believe that the program was tied to the CIA's Gateway Program that was developed in the 1980s to explore the limitations of human consciousness using sound, meditation and other techniques.

"Many students say they had to learn Morse code, sit through meditative audio testing and learn languages spoken by the US' foreign adversaries, such as Russian"

"What about the Black Nobility, for example, who can trace their lineage at least as far back as Ancient Rome? Where do the 13 Satanic bloodline families fit in? What about the Grey, Black and White Popes? And whither the Phoenician Navy? Each of these factions has its champions in conspiracy circles - “No! It’s the Jesuits!” is one of the more fashionable arguments - but I don’t believe it’s that simple. Rather I think we need to think of them all as competing crime families united by a common cause - doing evil - and all ultimately answerable to the capo di tutti i capi."

Ernst Roets: “The wrong lesson from the Second World War, is that nationalism is evil. Or that a sense of pride in your ethnicity is evil.”

Tucker Carlson: “Actually, I don’t think anyone has been pushing that Nationalism is evil, they have only been pushing that White Nationalism is evil.”

🔗 Uncommon Sense

"Sure, the Netherlands is about 75% Dutch at this point (maybe less), so is it really feasible to expel 4.5 million people? Some say this is not possible, but that ignores historical precedents. Since many of these are never mentioned, I thought it would be useful to have a curated history of such examples. I've included only examples from relatively recent history, 1900-present."

Open Science: How Free Access is Transforming the World of Knowledge

Science has always aimed for progress, yet access to knowledge remained a privilege for the few. This changed dramatically with the rise of the Open Science movement, which promotes free access to scientific research and data. Today, it’s not just an ideology—it’s a global shift supported by leading institutions and governments.

📖 Open Access: Facts & Figures

In 2023, over 50% of all scientific publications were open access (Unpaywall data).

Major journals like Nature, Science, and The Lancet have launched open-access editions, while Elsevier and Springer increasingly adopt pay-to-publish models.

The European Union’s Plan S mandates that all publicly funded research must be published openly.

🌍 Sci-Hub and the Role of "Pirate" Archives

Despite the rise of open science, up to 75% of research papers are still locked behind paywalls (The Economist, 2023).

Sci-Hub, founded by Alexandra Elbakyan, has become an alternative solution, granting researchers free access to millions of scientific articles—despite fierce opposition from major publishers.

Sci-Hub in numbers:

✅ Unlocks access to 88+ million research papers
✅ Saves billions of dollars for researchers in developing countries
✅ Recorded 600,000+ daily visits in 2023

🏆 Key Achievements of Open Science

1️⃣ COVID-19 & Rapid Vaccine Development
In 2020, thousands of COVID-related studies were freely available, enabling record-fast vaccine development (Nature, 2021).

2️⃣ The Human Genome Project
Initially completed in 2003, human genome sequencing data is now fully open, accelerating breakthroughs in medicine.

3️⃣ NASA & Open Astronomy Data
NASA publishes all its research openly. The James Webb Telescope, for instance, has already provided vast amounts of public data, fueling global discoveries.

🚀 The Future of Science: No Barriers

The world is moving towards a model where science is accessible to all. The rise of open data, AI-driven research, and collaborative platforms will further eliminate barriers to knowledge sharing.

‼️BOMBSHELL‼️

There is evidence of the involvement of the Ukrainian government and NATO in the organization and leadership of the criminal groups “Phoenix” and “White Angel” engaged in the illegal abduction of children and their subsequent removal to the West. (aka child trafficking!)

- Ukrainian paramilitary formations deceived parents, threatened dissenters against child confiscation, and engaged in extrajudicial executions.

- According to two Foundation to Battle Injustice in Ukraine sources, in March 2022, Ivan Bakanov, former head of the Security Service of Ukraine, tacitly authorized the “Phoenix” organization to conduct forced evacuations of children from territories near war zones and gave a direct order to take “the toughest possible measures” against citizens unwilling to voluntarily surrender their children during so-called evacuation events.

- After several months of almost daily raids by the “White Angel” and “Phoenix”, local residents learned about their methods and schedule and began hiding children in basements and abandoned apartments.

- The structure and mechanisms of the special child abduction units “White Angel” and “Phoenix” were created with the direct participation of NATO advisers in Ukraine. Admiral Anthony Radakin, one of the key NATO advisers to President Zelensky and Commander-in-Chief of the AFU Zaluzhny, patronized the creation of the organization.

It was the NATO operational services under Radakin’s control that supported the creation of a special unit for “evacuation”, but in reality, for illegal transportation of children to the West.

HOW SOCIAL TRUST IS ERODED - A VISIT TO INDIA 🇮🇳

"🧵 A few years ago now I spent some time in India. One of the more lasting impressions I have from that period was the degree to which the low trust environment there (of a kind) wore me down mentally and transformed my attitude towards public spaces from a by disposition fairly ‘high trust’ person to being much more cynical and constantly on guard - ie being ‘low trust’. Over the space of the first month or so, because of the environment, experiencing real psychogenic anguish at the mental transition from being basically well meaning and otherwise liberal to irritable, combative and developing (experience-informed) prejudices.

"My assumptions about how easily you can sustain ‘high levels of social trust’ were shredded. Many people take for granted that high levels of social trust can be upheld without excessive coercion on a sort of naive libertarian basis of most people naturally being ‘fairly decent’ and so behaving ‘fairly decently’. Though I’d encountered this ‘low trust’ behaviour in a many other countries it was in india, because of how common and obtrusive it was, that it became impossible to avoid internalising that a lot of people are not in fact ‘fairly decent’ and that if enough not ‘fairly decent’ people get together they can easily despoil social environments.

"Let me give you some examples of the kinds of behaviours you would encounter in India and then explain how prolonged exposure to those behaviours changes you. Granted you are a ‘Mleccha’, a ‘Gora’, (Foreigner, White Man) so qualifier you are treated differently but you still encounter these attitudes appreciably more than you would in many other countries. They do not of course represent the attitude of every Indian (I am an amateur Indologist I love India don’t @ me) but it evidences a certain ‘dog eat dog’ ‘tragedy of the commons’ mindset on the part of a part of the population that results in very appreciable low society wide social trust, at least over certain behaviours. (Others may be more policed eg social roles.) (Incidentally I think this mentality is one of the principal causes for many of India’s systemic problems but that is a separate topic.)

"• Take a tuk-tuk or taxi. Driver pretends his meter is broken, quotes price ten times more than actual price. Doesn’t have any change, doesn’t have a card machine. Starts arguing with you when you say you are not giving them more money they should have the change. Sometimes will plead for large tip even if you pay them more than the actual price too. To combat this you have to be prepared to argue with the driver every time you take a taxi (start ‘fights’) and bring small change with you everywhere

"• Taking the Mumbai Metro with a woman (naively), metro is incredibly crowded. Man uses crowd as an excuse to press himself up against the woman, starts masturbating. Woman screams, starts to have panic attack - but crowd doesn’t really react. She runs out crying at next metro stop

"• Walking around on streets - lots of beggars approach you, often old women, young children, people with some kind of disfigurement, hijra etc. Sometimes they aggressively grab your wrist, your clothes, tug at your shirt and refuse to let go. Often will follow you for a while even if you tell them to go away

"• Personal space is frequently invaded, no concept of queuing, people try to push past you even in formal settings like airport security or banks. Often will not even make eye contact when doing so, just push into you and try to push past you. Every time you queue you have to be prepared to physically push back against people to keep your space. Some people will get angry when you push back against you even though they pushed you first too
