Audrey Hepburn's unknown Nazi-fighting past will be revealed in a new bombshell book detailing the Hollywood icon's trauma after her uncle was murdered in World War II - and her time with the Dutch Resistance.

Content for the book was knitted together by using "Audrey's own reminiscences, new interviews with people who knew her in the war, wartime diaries, and research in classified Dutch archives."

The book, slated for release in April, tells of the discovery of a 188-page diary written by Hepburn's uncle, Count Otto van Limburg Stirum. He kept the diary during the four months he was imprisoned by the Nazis before he was murdered in 1942 - which the author claims traumatized Hepburn.

Ancient tools that may give historians a glimpse into America's history were recently discovered just feet below the surface in Texas.

Researchers with Texas A&M University made the stunning discovery during a dig at the Debra L. Friedkin site, located just 40 miles northwest of Austin.

Archaeologists have been searching for artifacts at the site near Buttermilk Creek for more than a decade - but this may be their most important find yet.

Archaeologists say the 23-metre vessel has lain undisturbed for more than 2,400 years

Archaeologists have found what they believe to be the world's oldest intact shipwreck at the bottom of the Black Sea where it appears to have lain undisturbed for more than 2,400 years.

The 23-metre (75ft) vessel, thought to be ancient Greek, was discovered with its mast, rudders and rowing benches all present and correct just over a mile below the surface. A lack of oxygen at that depth preserved it, the researchers said.

Archaeologists have discovered an elaborate, perfectly preserved shrine in the wall of a house in Pompeii, the ancient Roman city on Italy's western coast that was destroyed nearly 2,000 years ago by the deadly eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

As many as 30,000 people are believed to have died in that famous natural disaster in A.D. 79, many of them killed instantaneously as they tried to escape or shield themselves from the deadly volcanic flow.

The Roman writer Pliny the Younger watched the disaster from a distance, and described it in detail in letters found in the 16th century. As he tells it, the cloud of rock and gas "shot up to a great height in the form of a very tall trunk, which spread itself out at the top into a sort of branches," casting the towns around it, including Pompeii and Herculaneum, into shadow as dark as night.

Leaked top secret document: CIA and Western nations are behind the Rwandan war crimes

Rwanda war crimes memo
The United States and its allies are experts at covering their crimes and finding scapegoats to take the blame for them. They are doing it now with their disinformation campaigns against Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, and Syria. The show trials at the UN's Yugoslav tribunal, the ICTY, were all about covering-up NATO's war crimes and spinning lies to blame everything on the Serbs who resisted NATO's aggression. They use their influence at the International Criminal Court for the same purposes. And now a document has come to light, leaked from the UN's Rwanda war crimes tribunal, the ICTR, that contains a report on the war crimes of the US supported Rwanda Patriotic Front that invaded Rwanda from Uganda in 1990, conducted four years of terrorist operations against the Rwanda people and government, then in 1994 launched their final offensive and slaughtered their way to power. To discuss this document, marked "Top Secret" I have to burden the reader with a brief history of events from the evidence available in order to give it some context.

The tornado that stopped the 1814 burning of Washington

washington burns war of 1812
As the United States capital of Washington, D.C., burned 201 years ago today, it was an act of nature that helped to drive the British from the besieged city, and possibly save it from more destruction.

The anecdotal evidence of the tornado, which apparently touched down in the middle of the city on August 25, 1814, comes from the National Weather Service.

"In the early afternoon, a strong tornado struck northwest Washington and downtown," says the NWS. "The tornado did major structural damage to the residential section of the city. More British soldiers were killed by the tornado's flying debris than by the guns of the American resistance."

'Fake': World famous Dead Sea Scrolls finally pulled from Museum of the Bible - Results of other fragments pending

dead sea scrolls fake
The Dead Sea Scrolls are claimed to be the oldest copies of Bible text ever found and are alleged to range from 1,800 to more than 2,000 years old
Five of the most valuable exhibits at the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC have been found to be fake.

The artefacts, thought to be part of the historic Dead Sea Scrolls, will no longer be displayed.

Academics tested the fragments and found that the "show characteristics inconsistent with ancient origin and therefore will no longer be displayed at the museum," the institution said.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are the oldest copies of Bible text ever found, and include passages of the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, that range from 1,800 to more than 2,000 years old.

"Though we had hoped the testing would render different results, this is an opportunity to educate the public on the importance of verifying the authenticity of rare biblical artefacts, the elaborate testing process undertaken and our commitment to transparency," said Jeffrey Kloha, the chief curatorial officer for Museum of the Bible, said in a statement.

Comment: As noted in Judaism and Christianity - Two Thousand Years of Lies - 60 Years of State Terrorism:
Judaism supposedly created Israel, and Judaism also is the parent of Christianity and Islam, so the issue of Judaism and Ancient Israel, from which it supposedly emerged, are not trifling topics. The fact is, as a growing body of scholarship demonstrates, there was no "ancient Israel" as depicted in the Bible. The Hebrew Bible is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a historical document, and trying to understand the history of Palestine by reading the Bible is like trying to understand Medieval history by reading Ivanhoe.

Three-finger salute: The little-known story of ctrl+alt+del

Ctrl+Alt+Del will go down in history as that one confoundingly difficult way to restart your PC when everything else has failed. But as its creator, David Bradley, tells Great Big Story, it was a pain by design.

The tool was first developed because Bradley and the 11 other engineers building the first IBM PC needed a quicker way to restart the computer when their code broke it down. They had been unplugging it and plugging it back in-another tried and true (if slow) method still familiar to any PC user today. But Bradley came up with another solution: Ctrl+Alt+Del. This bit of finger gymnastics, intentionally designed to never erase your work through an accidental typo, is now universal.

Honduras and Israel form a new special relationship

Just as it serviced murderous regimes in Central America in the 1980s, Israel will now be exporting forms of repression to Honduras' abusive government.

In the aftermath of the 2009 coup in Honduras, I had the opportunity to interview deposed President Manuel Zelaya, who, having been kindly escorted in his pajamas to Costa Rica by the Honduran military, had then resurfaced in Tegucigalpa and taken refuge in the embassy of Brazil. The interview took place via an intermediary inside the embassy, who conveyed my questions to Zelaya.

One topic we touched on was a comment the left-leaning Zelaya had made concerning "Israeli mercenaries" operating in Honduras. This had unleashed a predictable hullabaloo in international media, with commentators tripping over each other to portray the besieged leader as an anti-Semite extraordinaire on some sort of permanent acid trip.

In my write-up of the interview, which was published in an insignificant publication, I happened to point out that Israeli mercenaries weren't exactly foreign to the Central American landscape. When the piece came out, the publisher of another insignificant publication - to which I had contributed some anti-coup articles - threw a fit. How dare I bring the Israelis into it; I would alienate all of Washington!

Now that the coup has restored Honduras to its rightful position as glorious hub of right-wing extremism, it's even easier to bring the Israelis in. And current Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández knows it.
