The increase in whale, dolphin, and other cetacean deaths off the East Coast of the United States since 2016 is not due to the construction of large industrial wind turbines, U.S. government officials say.

Their scientists have done the research, they say, to prove that whatever is killing the whales is completely unrelated to the wind industry.

But now, a new documentary, "Thrown To The Wind," by director and producer Jonah Markowitz, which I executive produced, proves that the US government officials have been lying.

The gray Nissan was used in armed robbery sprees on Saturday, August 26, 2023, and again on Sunday afternoon.
In a disturbing reflection of Chicago's rising crime rates, a TV news crew was robbed at gunpoint while covering a story on armed robberies in the city's West Town area.

This incident only exacerbates concerns over the city's safety as the number of robberies continues to surge.

Early Monday morning, while preparing to broadcast live about the surge in armed robberies, the crew was approached and robbed in the 1200 block of North Milwaukee.

A Chicago police spokesperson clarified the situation, stating, "A 28-year-old man and a 42-year-old man were outside in the 1200 block of North Milwaukee when a black SUV and a gray sedan pulled up around 4:53 a.m. Three men got out of the vehicles wearing ski masks and displaying guns."

Travesty: German court sentences judge for ruling against government's mask mandates for children

A German court has sentenced one of its own judges to prison for ruling against the government's mask mandates.

In 2021, Judge Christian Dettmar struck down a local government ordinance that required schoolchildren to wear masks in the German state of Thuringia. The case made headlines across Germany.

Judge Dettmar is now set to lose his legal career and pension and receive a two-year suspended prison sentence for allegedly "perverting the law."

During the pandemic-era lockdowns, the Thuringian state government ruled that all children were to wear masks while at school, stay a minimum distance from each other, and take virus tests.

The judge ruled that masks shouldn't be mandatory for children at two schools in Weimar, Thuringia, after the mother of two children, aged 8 and 14, complained that the masks were giving them insomnia, nausea, and headaches.

The FBI is searching for more than a dozen Uzbek nationals who claimed asylum at the southern border after evidence emerged they traveled with the help of an ISIS-linked human trafficker, according to a report.

Officials are still working to 'identify and assess' all of the individuals in the group who entered the US, National Security Council spokesman Adrienne Watson told CNN in a statement.

The FBI told DailyMail.com that no specific ISIS plot has been identified in connection with the group of foreign nationals, but that the bureau is investigating the possibility of any illegal activity or terrorism threats.

The group of migrants from Uzbekistan requested asylum at the border earlier this year, were screened by the Department of Homeland Security and released into the US pending a court date on their asylum claims after no red flags were raised.

Comment: A county not in control of its borders is not a country. Hungary understands that.

Gabon military officers declare coup after Ali Bongo wins disputed election

Gabon: hundreds celebrate while president pleads for help after coup declared
Military officers in Gabon say they have taken power and put the president, Ali Bongo Ondimba, under house arrest, as the country becomes the latest in Africa to suffer an attempted coup, only weeks after mutinous troops seized power in Niger.

A group of military personnel appeared on state television to announce they were seizing power to overturn the results of a presidential election, seeking to remove a president whose family has held power for nearly 56 years. The officers introduced themselves as members of the Committee of Transition and the Restoration of Institutions.

If successful, the coup would be the eighth in west and central Africa since 2020. The most recent one, in Niger, was in July, while the military has also seized power in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Chad.

In a video apparently from detention in his residence, Bongo Ondimba called on people to "make noise" to support him.

Crowds instead took to the streets of the capital and sang the national anthem to celebrate the coup attempt against a dynasty accused of getting rich on the country's resource wealth while many of its citizens struggle to scrape by.

Millions of families across Britain will be urged not to heat their homes in the evenings to help the Government hit its net zero goal, it has been reported, in a move branded a 'draft idea' by critics.

A report by the Climate Change Committee (CCC) said people should 'pre heat' their homes in the afternoon when electricity usage across the country is lower.

It reportedly added that in the next 10 years all of newly built homes and up to half of those built after 1952 should be eligible for pre-heating.

The quango also suggests those people using electrically powered heating systems, such as heat pumps, should switch off their radiators in the evening.

The document on 'behaviour change', the organisations sixth 'carbon budget' paper, said this would help the country's over all 'emissions savings just by changing the way we use our homes' and help people save money.

A service member who earlier this year blew the whistle and disclosed data from a Pentagon medical database showing a spike in the rate of myocarditis in the military in 2021, after the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, is going public.

The whistleblower is active-duty Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie. He has also revealed new data showing a substantial rise in accidents, assaults, self-harm, and suicide attempts in the military in 2021, compared to the average from 2016 to 2021.

This includes a 147 percent increase in intentional self-harm incidents among service members and an 828 percent increase in injuries from assaults.

Lt. Macie told The Epoch Times that he began "keeping an eye on" a defense medical database when another whistleblower alerted him to a rise in health-related incidents in the winter of 2021/2022.
