An Afghan refugee-turned-famous Swedish expert on education and integration, Hamid Zafar, has had his perfect public image ruined after a local newspaper discovered hateful comments he had been posting online under a pseudonym. Zafar arrived in Sweden as a refugee child and rose to prominence as a symbol of successful integration. Brought up in what is being described as a “socially vulnerable” district of Gothenburg, the […]

To be fair, it’s probably easier to be a COVID-19 denier in New Zealand than in the United States. The island country has effectively eliminated the virus, twice, and life is now carrying on largely as normal. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t expect to be absolutely torn to pieces if you start spouting virus conspiracy theories in public there. Sadly for one man, conspicuous by […]

For several months last spring, New York City was the U.S. epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic: Hospitals were overwhelmed by patients, a makeshift morgue was erected in Manhattan, and residents feared to leave the safety of their homes. But after a months-long lockdown, New York gained the upper hand on the virus, and since then, the city’s number of COVID-19 cases has remained low, even as […]
The president’s patriotic plan is opposed to the current “left-wing” curriculum in American schools, which, according to him, indoctrinates children to view all subjects through the lens of race, sowing “a new segregation”. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he will soon sign an executive order establishing a commission to promote patriotic school education, called the “1776 Commission”. Speaking at the White House Conference on […]

Troublesome Issues for Nuclear Weapons Owners Plutonium Aging Plutonium aging is going to have some serious implications. Since the government has been so worried about this, it is important to try to understand why. First of all, spallation due to PU aging and corrosion effects will ruin the implosion symmetry. But, the central issue with boosting is to keep the boost gas cool as long […]
By Gordon Duff and the DGSE (French Intelligence Classified Material Partially Redacted) (by me) INTRODUCTIONVeterans Today is putting “out there” enough “non damaging” nuclear weapons facts to undo the obfuscation that allows nuclear terrorism to be covered up by a complicit press.We are putting an end to this. Our confirmations of nuclear weapon use at Gound Zero at the World Trade Center are now covered […]
9/11 Test …by Gordon Duff, Senior Editor —The report below is taken from an intelligence dump by Russian sources. As the origin is from an intelligence agency in the form of a “leak,” there are always questions. Thus far, we have found not only is the majority of the material confirmed but several solutions to serious problems involving 9/11 are included.I have redacted little here. However, […]
Some thoughts on the mini-nukes theory in regard to the nuclear demolition of the World Trade Center. I feel obliged to answer a recent VT article “2 + 2 = Israel nuked the WTC on 9/11” http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/08/28/2-2-israel-nuked-the-wtc-on-911/ published by Jim Fetzer on Wednesday, August 28th, 2013 – that so timely coincided with the publication of the final “full” edition of my book on 9/11 (my actual book titled “The […]

… by Jeff Smith, Science Editor It has been observed that microwave and or nuclear radiation has been associated with UFO activity for a long time. Flying saucers function by ionizing the air surrounding their spacecraft produced by radiation exposure to their surface structure. They “thin” the local gravitational field by separating the ions with a strong magnetic field so they are effectively flying through a rarefied […]
By Jeff Smith with Gordon Duff Note: Of late, it has become necessary to differentiate between several differential hypotheses linked to Aether based energy transmission and storage advocates. Toward this end, Jeff Smith, whose work on anti-gravity systems and 3rd+ generation tactical nuclear weapons has been so popular, has chosen to “lower the boom” on what he sees to be careless theoreticians. A Tesla coil […]
The GammaPix gimmick is that it can detect radiation in different everyday situations, such as cosmic radiation while flying in an airplane, or gamma radiation in medical waste. You simply pull up the app, and begin taking a reading. Under normal circumstances, the camera can grab a complete reading in about five minutes.The application uses technology that analyzes video and still imagery for the signature of […]
By VT Sources Low Yield Weapons This represents one extreme of the weapon design spectrum – nuclear devices intend to make “small” explosions. Low yield in this context generally means yields much less than the 20 kts of a nominal fission weapon – say, 1-1000 tons. These are, of course, always very large compared to any other types of weapon of remotely similar size. They […]

By VT Editor’s Gordon Duff and Jeff Smith January 15, 2015 Today’s delve into the world of nuclear secrets begins with a short discussion of the “trial that never happened,” or as some are aware, the trial of a CIA officer going on in Virginia today. “If a trial isn’t reported, does jail time for a phony crime inconvenience one quite as much?” From Politico: Former […]

On Monday, the UK Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) announced that A-level and GCSE students in Britain would be given the exam grades predicted by their teachers instead of those awarded by a controversial algorithm that had triggered a grading fiasco. At least 79 percent of respondents believe that the UK government “badly” handled advanced (A)-level and General Certificate of Secondary Education (GSCE) results […]
Gavin Williamson decided to push ahead with the controversial algorithm amid worries about grade inflation and the risk that results could come much later than expected. Secretary of State for Education Gavin Williamson was warned that the A-level and GCSE grading algorithms may fail and could lead to hundreds of thousands of students obtaining the wrong results, The Times reported, citing a senior source at the Department […]

In the last year we have covered a number of incidents where nuclear weapons have been used; from exposing the truth about the nuclear nature of the destruction of the WTC on 9-11 to being the only media outlet to cover the nuclear explosions in China. In the minds of most people, a nuclear weapon is a large device carried on the tip of an ICBM […]

To decrease wealth inequality, one passionate financial adviser argues why financial education needs different content, from different voices, delivered through different channels.
