In light of the unfurling Epstein scandal, which has cost the Duke of York his reputation among other top figures, a royal biographer believes Andrew’s loss of his HRH title is only a matter of time. Prince Andrew will be effectively excluded from his father Prince Philip’s 100th birthday next year over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal for the “survival of the monarchy”, according to his biographer Nigel Cawthorne, the author of Prince Andrew, Epstein and the Palace, as cited by Newsweek. The biographer went on to comment that the purported decision to airbrush Andrew from his father’s anniversary celebrations “is one of […]

Doctors treating Putin nemesis Aleksey Navalny in the ICU have told police that the substance which poisoned him is so dangerous they are wearing protective clothing. Ivan Zhdanov, one of Navalny’s fellow anti-corruption campaigners, addressed media outside the hospital to say the authorities were refusing requests to let Navalny fly to Germany for further treatment. They fear the Kremlin has intervened because they do not want foreign doctors to identify the substance which was used against Navalny, who has been targeted for years by Putin for his outspoken opposition to the Russian president. Kira Yarmysh, Navalny’s closest aide, said: “The ban on […]
The team treating Alexey Navalny has managed to stabilize his condition, a lead medic has said. Dr Anatoly Kalinichenko said Russia’s best-known anti-corruption activist was in intensive care and getting the necessary treatment. The doctor also said there are no plans to transfer Navalny to Moscow. His supporters have requested that be moved to Germany or France so he can be admitted to a specialist clinic. Earlier, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that “if the Kremlin or the Russian Health Ministry received a request for Navalny’s transfer to a foreign hospital, it would be considered promptly.” “So far, we […]
All eyes are on bitcoin‘s bullish price at the moment. Behind the scenes, however, developers are tinkering to build the infrastructure that many hope could make the Bitcoin system more accessible to more people. Last week, Bitcoin tech startup Blockstream released its latest major version of c-lightning, its implementation of the Lightning Network. The release is dubbed “Rat Poison Squared on Steroids,” facetiously referencing Warren Buffet’s comment that Bitcoin is “rat poison squared” and, in his opinion, investors will get burned if they put their money into it. Of course, c-lightning’s developers probably don’t believe Bitcoin is “rat poison,” seeing as […]
A father who confessed in January to murdering his family inside their rented home near Walt Disney World now claims it was his wife who drugged, stabbed, and suffocated their three children before taking her own life. Anthony Todt, 44, is facing multiple counts of homicide in connection with the murder of his 42-year-old wife, Megan, and their three children in Celebration, Florida, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said. Todt has also been charged with one count of animal cruelty for allegedly killing the family’s dog, Breezy. The sheriff’s office said in January that Todt confessed to the grisly slayings after […]
It really shouldn’t surprise anyone that the Trump administration rolled out its new rule denying trans people access to proper healthcare on the fourth anniversary of the massacre at the LGBTQ Pulse nightclub, in which 49 people died in Orlando, Florida. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that the Trump administration published the rule during LGBTQ Pride month. The cruelty is the obligatory scattering of garnish for the Trump administration; the sting long after the slap has been delivered. The cruelty is relished just as much as the intended harm. The cruelty, as the Atlantic’s Adam Serwer once observed, is the point. The […]
Society 22:18 GMT 02.06.2020Get short URL Wildlife authorities in Botswana have reported at least 110 mysterious elephant deaths in the northwest part of the country – a jump from the 56 carcasses discovered as of an earlier announcement in May. However, anthrax and poisoning were recently ruled out as causes behind the animals’ deaths. “I would say 90% of the new cases we have found are old carcasses we previously did not locate,” Dimakatso Ntshebe, a regional wildlife director, said in a recent interview with Bloomberg. “However, a few are indeed new deaths. All recovered carcasses do not show signs of […]

EPA photo. A Deadly Herbicide Ends Up in Lakes and Rivers, Severely Harming Wildlife. The Trump EPA wants to reapprove use of a dangerous herbicide. Trump appointees are hiding behind the COVID-19 pandemic to excuse a herbicide manufacturer from monitoring levels of the poison in Midwest lakes and streams. The EPA plans to raise the concentration of atrazine allowed in streams and lakes to 15 parts per billion. That is more than four times higher than what the EPA had recommended under […]
