A photo discovered by a US lawyer at a flea market may be a rare image of Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid and could be worth millions, experts have said.

Frank Abrams bought the tintype photo in North Carolina for $10 (£7) and put it up in the guest room of his home. He consulted experts after watching a TV programme about the discovery of another photo of Billy the Kid. Historians told Mr Abrams his photo may show the outlaw with his future killer.

Mr Abrams, a criminal defence lawyer, bought the tintype photo - which is an image produced on a thin sheet of metal - at a flea market near the city of Asheville in 2011.

The VAWA, The Duluth Model, Feminism and the politicization of domestic violence

A look at the evolution of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994

domestic violence
The politicization of domestic violence by feminists began in the 1960s and '70s, with a small network of shelters for women escaping domestic violence. As was borne out by the experience of Erin Pizzey, who established the first shelter for domestic violence victims in the UK in 1971, the goal of the women's shelters was not actually to address the multifaceted issue of interpersonal violence, and seek solutions for couples affected. Rather, it was to establish the concept of the now well-known "patriarchy" as a conspiracy with frightening motives.

Women's liberation was about encouraging women to not only question their marriages, but to expand the characterization of the in fact, rare occurrence of what was then called, "wife battering" to include almost all women as victims.

70 years of broken promises: The untold story of the UN's partition plan for the benefit of the Zionists

Thousands of Palestinians were killed in the rebellion as they continued to reject the prejudicial partition.

In a recent talk before Chatham House think-tank in London, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, approached the issue of a Palestinian state from an intellectual perspective.

Before we think of establishing a Palestinian state, he mused, "it is time we reassessed whether the modern model we have of sovereignty and unfettered sovereignty, is applicable everywhere in the world."

It is not the first time that Netanyahu discredits the idea of a Palestinian state. Despite clear Israeli intentions of jeopardizing any chances for the creation of such a state, the US Administration of Donald Trump is, reportedly, finalizing plans for an 'ultimate peace deal'. The New York Times suggests that "the anticipated plan will have to be built around the so-called two-state solution."

But why the wasted effort, while all parties, People in the United States included, know that Israel has no intention of allowing a Palestinian state and the U.S. has no political capital, or desire, to enforce one?

The answer may not lie in the present, but in the past.

A team of researchers, divers, and underwater photographers recently uncovered a mysterious castle at the bottom of a huge lake. Diving in Lake Van in Turkey's eastern Van Province, they discovered a 3,000-year-old fortress that has been hidden beneath the water for decades.

Project leader Tahsin Ceylan, from Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, was at first searching the lake for another legend - the frightening Lake Van monster. Although he hasn't found the monster, discovering an ancient castle is still pretty exciting.

"There was a rumour that there might be something under the water but most archaeologists and museum officials told us that we won't find anything," Ceylan told the Daily Sabah. But the rumor rang true. After about a decade of searching, the team's efforts were finally rewarded.

The castle is about 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) in length, with walls reaching 3 to 4 meters (10-13 feet) high. Luckily, the alkaline conditions of the lake have kept it in fairly good condition.

The comet that sparked a global flood 'Myth'

flood
It seems that Noah's Great Biblical Flood was caused by comet fragments striking the earth. Isaac Newton was the first one to come up with a theory connecting the flood to a comet strike, in 1680. According to an article at National Georgraphic.com , Newton declared that a comet had passed close to Earth thousands of years ago and came so close that it doused our world with water from its tail and exerted enough gravitational force to pull forth oceans from beneath our planet's crust.

Now, a new theory provides evidence that backs up Newton's idea that a comet was involved. According to this theory, between 10,000 and 12,000 years ago, a comet entered the earth's atmosphere and broke up into thousands of pieces. Those fragments rained down fire and brimstone on the earth. Some of the fragments landed all over the world, including Europe and the Far East. It is estimated that over 500,000 fragments landed in north America alone.

Putin unveils memorial to Tsar Alexander III 'the Peacemaker' in Crimea (VIDEO)

putin alexander III
President Putin this week opened a monument to Tsar Alexander III in Yalta, Crimea. The 19th century Russian Emperor thus returned to Livadia, which had been his favorite residence for many years.


Comment: Western reporting on this has been - unsurprisingly - limited and, where present, wholly derogatory and insulting, with the British Telegraph suggesting that in doing so Putin is "seeking the reflected glory of Russian tsars."

Real people know that Putin has no need to seek such a thing, and that the Russian government's motive in promoting the memory of Alexander III, if anything, follows the same pattern of 'historical perestroika' ('opening up') that Russia has undergone in recent decades as it remembers its true history before it was eviscerated by the Bolshevik revolution.

The following passages are from The Third Rome: Holy Russia, Tsarism and Orthodoxy, ch. 14:
Alexander III was one of the greatest tsars in Russian history and one of the greatest monarchs in European history. He was just, fair, intelligent and amazingly strong in every sense of that word. He was a populist - in the truest sense - despising court etiquette and that pseudo-European tenor of dishonesty, oligarchy and liberalism that had been growing at court since Peter the Great. Alexander staunchly refused to dress 'like a monarch', preferring instead a simple military cloak and uniform. He hated palaces and luxury. He slept on the floor, and his diet consisted only of oatmeal and gruel.

He was a massive man with a huge beard, and his presence alone kept the unruly oligarchs as close to being 'in line' as is possible for this nearly demented liberal and western class.

Alexander III came to the throne over the corpse of his father. The revolutionaries, emboldened as they always are by liberal pacification, and the communist and other far-left groups were becoming increasingly violent. From the reign of Alexander II to 1905, the total number of people - both innocent civilians and government officials (including lowly bureaucratic clerks) - murdered by the Herzenian 'New Men' came roughly to 12,000.

On the other hand, the Russian government's attitude towards the 'New Men' was mixed. Generally, the monarchy was lenient.

Under Alexander III, however, this reign of terror ground to a halt.
Additionally, labor laws under Alexander III were world firsts - introducing workers' rights such as for limiting the number of hours worked by women and children in factories to 8, and only during the daytime, as well as guaranteeing them fair wages. It wouldn't be until the next century that western countries caught up.

He is remembered as 'the Peacemaker' because Russia fought no wars during his reign.

U.S. govt planned false flag attacks blaming Russia in order to justify war

As the deep state continues to push the Russian election interference narrative - with no concrete evidence - the damage to US-Russia relations continues to grow. Sadly, those who continue to buy the Russiagate conspiracy theory have forgotten the US government's history when it comes to propaganda used to start wars and bolster the military-industrial complex.

A recent revelation from the newly released JFK Files can now help put this entire Russian hacking scenario into context - as it has been the subject of previous propaganda campaigns. On March 22, 1962, a meeting, held by the "Special Group (Augmented)," which according to an encyclopedia on the Central Intelligence Agency, included Attorney General Robert Kennedy, CIA Director John McCone, National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer, discussed the creation of a false flag attack on the United States to be blamed on the Soviets.

According to the documents, the US government wanted to manufacture or obtain Soviet aircraft so they could launch an attack on America or friendly bases and use those attacks as a pretext for war.

Comment: Does anyone seriously believe that such ideas are not floated around today? And put into action? If so, they're living in a dream world.

Sex & politics: How professional feminists saved Bill (and Hillary) Clinton in the 1990's

As the date for the Alabama Senate special election gets closer, the (if true) appalling revelations about Roy Moore have reignited a dialogue that began with Donald Trump's infamous Access Hollywood tape released last year. Moore is merely the latest character in a month-long tsunami of sexual assault allegations that have already claimed Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K., Al Franken, and so many more.

It also revived a national conversation about Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, and all the other allegations of wildly inappropriate (proven) and forcible or illegal (not proven, at least yet) Clinton-era sexual shenanigans. Republicans and conservatives have used "Bubba" as their get-out-of-jail-free card for the past two years. But how can Democrats and feminists object to people like Roy Moore or Donald Trump now, when they went to the edge of the envelope to shield and protect Clinton from similar charges of exploiting vulnerable employees, and even possible rape?

An ancient sea monster hunted to extinction has mysteriously appeared on a remote Russian island.

The remains of the Steller's sea cow were found by nature reserve officials on the far flung Commander Islands in the Bering Sea.

The 20 ft long beast died out in the 18th century because they were sitting targets for harpoon hunters, having no fear of humans.

Ribs of the creature were found jutting out of the seashore like a "fence".

An eight hour dig showed that this was a rare find of the existence sea cow, once endemic to the waters of these islands between Russia and Alaska.

They found 45 vertebrae, 27 ribs, a left scapula and other bones on the headless creature.
