The Department of Defense maintains a database summarising its collaboration with Hollywood productions. The master list for this database was released to me two years ago as the DOD Film List and since then I have obtained a handful of entries.

Have you ever heard of Tualang honey? It’s a kind of honey that surpasses any honey you’d find in the grocery store, offering a plethora of health benefits. Tualang honey is like delectable medicine.
I don’t know about you, but I never met a honey I didn’t love. Now, I know you’re supposed to limit your sugar intake, but honey is a deliciously sticky sweetener that actually comes with some health perks. But some honeys have more health benefits than others, of course. Not all honeys are created equal.

Picking up where we left off in Part 3, we look at Quigley’s analysis of Germany prior to World War II and the rise of Nazism, the situation in France with the dominance of the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish banking houses, and how Rothschild came out on top. We also look at how all three of these colluded to establish a fake front known as the Bank of France at the behest of their agent, Napoleon.

A gene which may be related to Alzheimer’s disease can show itself as early as preschool, according to a new study published in the journal Neurology.
Up until now, scientists have been focusing on the proteins that build up in the brain as a way to try and treat Alzheimer’s, yet thus far, developing drugs for this has not been very promising. As such, researchers are pointing to a new theory which states that Alzheimer’s is actually a developmental disorder that may begin as early as childhood, progressing as the person ages.

A new study finds that ducks can actually think in an abstract manner at less than 24 hours old. It seems that they can learn objects, the differences between objects, imprint on them, and their relationships to one another.
In the past, researchers thought that animals, especially ducks, could only grasp these concepts after a significant amount of training. However, this new study has blown that completely out of the water, showing that even newly-hatched ducklings can tell the difference between objects and their relationships to one another within 30 minutes.

All the signs are that something serious might be brewing in the UK this summer. The big question is: is it a genuine grassroots uprising, or is this being engineered by design?
It is still no clearer what was really going in with the failed coup attempt in Turkey. Some are still claiming Erdogan and his people initiated a false-flag coup themselves, while others are pointing to a failed, Washington-backed coup attempt. And if you’re looking for a definitive answer, you’re not going to get it in […]

Perception is something we often take for granted. That’s very much the case in the world’s perception of the actions of the Peoples’ Republic of China regarding its claims to a number of offshore uninhabited rocks in the South China Sea and beyond. For the most of the collective Western mind, the perception is that Beijing has become hysterical, obsessive—in short, a bit mad—over its asserted claims of territory under various precepts of international law.
