Russian President Vladimir Putin seems to be walking with a prideful swagger in his step lately. In spite of growing conflicts between Israel-driven-America and Russia over Syria, Iran and now the Ukraine, he appears unusually confident. Other world leaders involved appear to be increasingly stressed out by these growing conflicts, but not President Putin. What could be going on in the background which might explain this blatant confidence and swagger of president Putin? Unsubstantiated rumors have been seeping out of deep contacts inside Russian Space Command the last few weeks that, not only does the new Putin’s Russia have a […]

Last week, after several warnings, he was charged with schism, defrocked and excommunicated from the Catholic Church. “I continue to regard Benedict as retaining the Office of Peter, as mysterious as that might be,” he wrote […]

The so-called “love hormone” oxytocin may normally be associated with memory impairment but new research indicates it might stave off at least some of the amnesic effects of Alzheimer’s disease. The hormone oxytocin is known to have varying effects in people, in which it either strengthens or weakens a person’s memory, depending on their personality and genetic makeup. Post-mortem examinations of people with Alzheimer’s disease found increased levels of oxytocin in memory-related areas of their brain, showing at least some link between the love hormone, memory and one of the most grim neurodegenerative diseases humans face.

Buckingham Palace declared victory Tuesday in a 45 year battle over whether the queen ordered a radical Australian prime minister to be fired. Secret letters from 1975, which have been made public for the first time, showed that the monarch was not tipped off directly before the controversial sacking. Republicans were swift to argue, however, that the documents prove she was “aware of what was happening in Australia.” They say she knew her representative was considering dismissing the prime minister—an incredibly provocative move—even if she did not intervene directly. The 1975 sacking of Gough Whitlam by the queen’s representative in the […]

Rebel Gene, Secret Space Program and the Hidden War [ Editor’s note: In 2012, Kerry Cassidy wrote on her website that Gordon Duff had written about mysterious events in the Pacific ocean off the coast of California. Before that, I had not heard of Veterans Today and reading Kerry’s comment was a stroke of luck that led me to discover VT, as I view VT as being one of the last pillars of classical journalism. In another stroke of serendipity, I emailed editor Jim Dean who lived in Atlanta and three years later, after much talking and social meeting, I moved […]
The singer’s reputation has been tarnished since the release of an HBO documentary titled “Leaving Neverland”, which tells the story of two men – Wade Robson and James Safechuck – who were friends with Jackson when they were kids. The two claimed that they were sexually abused by the pop icon. Michael Jackson’s former bodyguard has spoken about the allegations that the late king of pop reportedly had a secret room in his home. Speaking on the podcast The Scott McGlynn show, Matt Fiddes, who worked for the singer before his tragic death in 2009, said the alleged room, which Jackson’s […]
US President Donald Trump’s re-election team has ridiculed the most recent attempt to tie the commander in chief to Nazism after critics compared a campaign T-shirt graphic to a logo commonly used in the Third Reich. Responding to the allegation that the T-shirt ripped off the emblem of the Nazi Party – spread online by the president’s detractors on Wednesday – Trump’s campaign team dug up photos showing prominent Democratic figures donning similar symbols, asking whether they also had something to hide. “This is moronic. In Democrats’ America, Mount Rushmore glorifies white supremacy and the bald eagle with an American flag […]
Democrats have asked Congress to consider new sanctions against Moscow over media claims that Russia has been paying Taliban-affiliated militants to kill American and other coalition troops serving in Afghanistan. Russian officials have vocally denied the allegations, and accused those pushing them of trying to further undermine Russia-US ties. US President Donald Trump resumed his attack on what he termed “the discredited @nytimes” on Wednesday morning over last week’s story about alleged Russian efforts to put contracts out on US and NATO servicemen in Afghanistan. The Russia Bounty story is just another made up by Fake News tale that is told […]
What’s in a name? The power to render someone mute. Last week, Scott Alexander, the author of the influential rationalist blog Slate Star Codex (SSC), abruptly shut down (perhaps temporarily) his blog in advance of a New York Times (NYT) story on him and SSC that would include his real name. “Scott Alexander” is the pseudonym he has written under for years. As a practicing psychiatrist, he said, what amounts to “doxxing” him would damage his livelihood. In addition to professional repercussions, Alexander said in his final blog post explaining the situation that: “..[S]ome people want to kill me or ruin […]
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained Secret Service records for the first five years of the Obama Admin showing Hunter Biden took 411 flights and visited 29 countries. The Secret Service did not disclose, as requested by Judicial Watch, if Hunter Biden flew on Air Force One, Air Force Two or other government planes or whether other family members were in attendance. The records reveal Hunter Biden visited China 5 times. The new documents also show that Hunter Biden never visited Ukraine prior to being hired by Burisma Holdings, a corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company.

We live in a time when there are more billionaires walking around than ever before. (They don’t actually walk. They have someone do that for them.) And one can’t deny billionaires are billionaires because they’ve […]
When Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas last September, the small island of Abaco was among the hardest hit. Dorian stalled over the island for two days, unleashing some of the strongest winds ever recorded in the Caribbean. Shortly after the storm died down, and long before Bahamian government aid arrived, an American disaster assistance response team arrived onboard a high-speed super-yacht. Access crews set to work clearing roads with chainsaws, so that survivors could find their way to the team’s medical staff. Their doctors and paramedics ultimately helped triage or treat nearly one in 10 of the island’s population. The team’s […]

After showing the journalists his office, Putin then told them that “there are a dining room and a relaxation room” behind the office’s door. “But I warn you, I did not make any preparations there [beforehand], […]
In late May, a number of US media outlets reported that US President Donald Trump was taken by Secret Service agents to an underground bunker as potentially violent demonstrations protesting the killing of African-American George Floyd took place near the White House. US President Donald Trump has reportedly directed officials within his administration to find and prosecute those responsible for leaking information about his retreat to the heavily-fortified underground White House bunker during an anti-police-brutality protest near the White House on Friday 29 May, The New York Times reported on Wednesday. The report claimed that Trump complained to advisors that he cannot get “good” stories […]

Raindrops can be a deadly threat to fragile organisms such as insects, with the force of the blow equivalent to a person being struck by a bowling ball. The danger is even greater in the case of a high-speed impact. A team of biologists has studied the effect of raindrops on minute organisms, such a butterflies, that often struggle to survive the impact. In the peer-reviewed study, “How a raindrop gets shattered on biological surfaces”, published on 8 June in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), biological and environmental engineer Sunghwan Jung, from […]
When you take the number 201 bus into Yerevan from Zvartnots International Airport, the first sign that you’re nearing the city is a hilltop citadel looming on the horizon with soaring arches, wrap-around stone walls, and landscaped lawns that slope gently down to the banks of the Hrazdan River—Armenia’s House of Parliament, you might think, or the prime minister’s residence. But this grand, iconic building welcoming visitors from near and far is, in fact, a brandy factory. To most Westerners, Cognac and brandy conjure up images of French châteaux and European aristocrats, but ask anyone raised in the Soviet Union what […]
At least some of the highly alarming, unidentified federal police auxiliaries deployed within the nation’s capital will stand down, according to representatives from the Department of Homeland Security. “CBP is demobilizing personnel and they will be returning to their routine duties,” a spokesperson for Customs and Border Patrol told The Daily Beast on Monday. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement official told The Daily Beast that its forces will withdraw as well. The timetable for demobilization is still unclear. CBP and ICE personnel are only two components of a force that sprung up nearly overnight in front of federal buildings during the […]
The Senior Editor We have multiple confirmations that a vaccine for COVID 19 not only exists but has existed for some time, since 2019, perhaps as early as 2017. We are also told that COVID 19, as VT reported in March, was deployed against China, then Italy, then France, then Iran and Spain and then the US as a “fund raiser.” COVID 19 is the ultimate “sanction” and ultimate tool to bring about that “New World Order” we have been hearing about. Now we see it as a reality. Let us remind, do note that Boris Johnson got it, and we […]
Above photo: Peace delegation from the United States visits Iran in early 2019. Popular Resistance. On May 6th, President Trump vetoed a war powers bill specifying that he must ask Congress for authorization to use military force against Iran. Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign of deadly sanctions and threats of war against Iran has seen no let-up, even as the U.S., Iran and the whole world desperately need to set aside our conflicts to face down the common danger of the Covid-19 pandemic. So what is it about Iran that makes it such a target of hostility for Trump and the neocons? There are many repressive […]
Sputnik/Moscow: The US accusations against Beijing over the so-called “cover-up” of the supposed Wuhan lab origins of COVID have raised questions about the US network of secretive bio labs located near the borders of Russia and China, as well as Washington’s decades-long resistance to the creation of an international transparency mechanism for bioweapons research. The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) first received a clinical sample of the unknown virus that later became known as SARS-CoV-2 on 30 December 2020, Wang Yanyi, an immunologist and director of the institute, told CGTN broadcaster on 23 May, denouncing the Trump administration’s claims that the novel coronavirus escaped […]

In today’s sudden age of social distancing, an antique jewel—meant to remind estranged lovers of each other—could be the perfect symbol of how to combat the loneliness of these strange times. The Lover’s Eye, as it’s appropriately called, was all the rage in early 19th-century Europe: a small brooch that depicted the beautiful eye of a secret admirer. The brooches served as stand-ins when the lovestruck could not physically be together. The origin of the Lover’s Eye jewel comes out of forbidden romance. In 1784, the Prince of Wales, George Augustus Frederick—later King George IV—had fallen in love with a twice-widowed […]
Press TV: Russian troops are helping Venezuela in its search operation for members of a force, which recently made an unsuccessful incursion attempt there, by operating drones over the Latin American country, according to a report by local news outlet El Nacional. Citing deleted tweets from a military command, known as ZODI La Guaira, the local media reported on Friday that at least eight Russian Special Forces members will be “operating drones to run search and patrol operations” near the northern state of La Guaira. Spetznas now operating inside Venezuela against US special operations forces El Nacional posted a screenshot of […]
The president’s son-in-law and top aide, Jared Kushner, suggested having Trump’s future national security adviser use secure communications at the Russian embassy to communicate with Russian generals, according to newly released transcripts from the House Intelligence Committee. The suggestion, made during a December 2016 meeting with Michael Flynn and then-Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, was ultimately nixed by the Russian ambassador, according to Kushner. Kushner’s proposed back-channel with the Kremlin has been widely reported, but this is the first detailed, on-the-record account by him of the incident. The Washington Post reported in May 2017 that Kislyak relayed the proposal to his superiors […]
The mysterious X-37B space plane is set to blast off from a launch site in Florida. Its sixth mission is touted as the most action-packed to date, and the first where the US Space Force would be in charge. The crew-less vehicle, which strongly resembles a miniature Space Shuttle – once NASA’s flagship vehicle, retired in 2011 – is scheduled to be launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida on May 16, Secretary of the Air Force Barbara Barrett announced Wednesday. The first launch of the #X37B since the establishment of the #USSF demonstrates the department’s continued innovation & collaboration […]
