The world famous whistleblowing group WikiLeaks claims it has documents exposing Sweden’s foreign minister Carl Bildt as an American spy and is promising to publish them soon. The documents prove that Bildt has been a US informer since 1973 and that he collaborated with the US government in ways that contradict Swedish law, the Swedish tabloid Expressen reports.

New Evidence Supports Claims of Hitler's "Secret Son"

Until his death in 1985, Jean-Marie Loret believed that he was the only son of Adolf Hitler. There is now renewed attention to evidence from France and Germany that apparently lends some credence to his claim.

Loret collected information from two studies; one conducted by the University of Heidelberg in 1981 and another conducted by a handwriting analyst that showed Loret’s blood type and handwriting, respectively, were similar to the Nazi Germany dictator who died childless in 1945 at age 56.

Kufra Falls to Green Fist 

A video released this afternoon from Libya’s southeastern Kufra District purports to show forces of the Libyan resistance seizing a town assembly hall to the accompaniment of celebratory small arms fire. The green-scarved troops proceed to rip down the rebel NTC tri-color and replace it with the green banner of the Libyan Arab People’s Jamahiryah in a scene reminiscent of the Soviet capture of the Reichstag in 1945.

According to the video captions, the troops are from the Saif al-Islam Brigade, named in honor of the late Col. Muammar Qaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam. The increasingly fragile NTC administration has been rocked by what appears to be an aggressively unrelenting counter-offensive by remnant forces, and new allies, of the Libyan Army, though media reports on the worsening condition in Libya have been limited or non-existent. 

Sydney Hilton Bombing, 1978

Today, February 13, marks the anniversary of the 1978 Sydney hotel bombing. The unsolved blast, at a meeting of the Commonwealth Heads of Goverment, killed three and wounded eleven when a trash bin bomb detonated after being emptied into a garbage truck. 

“Conspiracy” looks at the lingering questions left by the bombing. For instance, police disposed of bomb fragments immediately after the attack at an unrecorded location, Australian Army bomb-sniffing dog teams were called off from securing the Hilton for reasons unexplained and at least one Sydney police detective made public claims of a cover-up. A 1991 resolution of the New South Wales parliament requesting a new inquiry into the attack was not acted upon by the Australian federal government.

An Australian historian has unearthed the details of a never-before-revealed mutiny that occurred on a U.S. army post in Australia during World War II.  New documents describe an extended siege where Army Corps of Engineers troops opened fire on officers quarters with machine guns and small arms, resulting in dozens of casualties. The mutiny was suppressed by loyal troops aided by co-located Australian army forces and reportedly broke-out after the CoE troops, who were black, were berated by white officers with racial epithets.

  • Stanislav Lunevon seismic weapon Mercury 18

Col. Stanislav Lunev, Russian defector from the GRU, publicly reveals for the first time - in a September 1998 interview with radio host Art Bell - the name of a Russian seismic weapon: “Mercury 18.”

In the interview, Col. Lunev claims the 1988 earthquake in Spitak, Armenia was the result of Mercury 18 testing. One month after these remarks - in which Lunev claims testing of Mercury 18 is then occurring in Chechnya - a 5.8 earthquake struck that region.

A video from April 2011 shows forces of the Republic of Korea’s National Police Agency Combat Police division training for anti-riot duties. 

In the video, the Combat Police move in various company line formations before falling back, regrouping and executing an Echelon Right at which point (3:00) a single platoon charge is used to swiftly reform the echelon back into a company line, cutting-off the leaders of the mock riot from the rest of the group, whereupon they are set upon by the waiting arrest teams. 

The Combat Police are South Korea’s gendarmerie. 

If you talk to me like that, there will be no Qatar.

13 States Mull Metals-Based Currencies

Worried that the Federal Reserve and the U.S. dollar are on the brink of collapse, lawmakers from 13 states, including Minnesota, Tennessee, Iowa, South Carolina and Georgia, are seeking approval from their state governments to either issue their own alternative currency or explore it as an option. Just three years ago, only three states had similar proposals in place.

Brain Wave Translation: A Technology New or Old? 

This short video from the Telegraph demonstrates a new machine that reads brainwaves to translate a person’s thoughts into vocalizations. In the video, a mechanized voice announces a word to two human test subjects. The mind reading machine then pronounces the word about which the subjects are thinking (the word just announced to them). 

The legitimate purpose of the machine is to communicate with coma patients. It, however, bears a very remote similarity to a description of devices former political prisoner Tek Nath Rizal alleges were used on him in the early 1990s by the Kingdom of Bhutan’s brutal (and incredibly PR savvy) Wangchuck regime in his book “Killing Me Softly: Bhutan Through the Eyes of a Mind Control Victim.” 

The U.S.’ First Trans-Atlantic, Encrypted Cable The U.S. National Security Agency last month released a 1991 historical summary detailing the U.S. State Department’s first use of the Trans-Atlantic Telegraph Cable to send an encrypted message, which was transmitted on November 24, 1866, from Washington to Paris at a cost of nearly $20,000. The astronomical expense of the cable - the State Department’s telegraph bills up to that point had averaged less than $100 per month - was due in part to the telegram’s incredible length of more than 3,500 words. That length, in turn, was necessitated by the cumbersome, “unbreakable” code the U.S. government had used for the preceding 63 years and prompted the introduction of a new, short code. The short code proved too difficult for recipients to decipher and was, in turn, abandoned in 1876. The State Department’s original, $20,000 telegram was a demand to Emperor Napoleon III for the timely evacuation of French troops from Mexico.

Unbeknownst to the press, President Obama met Friday evening with former president George H.W. Bush and his son, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, in the Oval Office. When asked what the men discussed and why it wasn’t on the schedule, the White House released a statement saying, “the three men enjoyed a personal visit in the Oval Office …

Above, an excerpt from a long forgotten guest article by Wayne McClure - a U.S. Navy crewman stationed on the destroyer USS Case in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in 1941 - appearing in the December 5, 1991 edition of the Bonham Daily Favorite, a now defunct newspaper in Fannin County, Texas. The USS Case would escape the attack unscathed, bringing her .50 guns online within four minutes of the commencement of the assault. Captain Bedelion (name misspelled by McClure in article) would be transferred to a staff assignment in Washington a short time later. He was killed immediately after the war when the Navy aircraft in which he was a passenger flew into the side of a mountain.  In his 1954 book The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor, Rear Admiral Robert Theobald accused the Roosevelt administration of advance knowledge about the Pearl Harbor attack. Roosevelt’s Secretary of War Henry Stimson would later recall - in a diary entry - that, prior to the attack, he had discussed with the president “how we should maneuver them [Japan] into the position of firing the first shot.”
