Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and its passengers are entombed in an ocean trench after its twisted pilot ditched the plane as part of a mass-murder-suicide plot, a British aviation expert claims. British pilot Simon Hardy was part of the official search for the Boeing 777, which disappeared over the South China Sea on March 8, 2014, and was never found. In 2015, he was brought on board by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau to trace the missing plane, which disappeared 39 minutes after it left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 passengers and crew members on board.

It seems that those granted exemptions were restrained by gag orders. In other words, they could not tell anyone that they...

February 24, 2024. Two years to the day since Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine. For the first year, the world watched on as Russian forces grappled with an opponent they seemingly underestimated. The Ukrainians proved they would not give up their sovereignty without a fight. With aid from the West, Ukraine held the Russian forces, and gained back ground. On the second anniversary we look back at the last 12 months. It was the battles away from the fronts that would truly test the resolve of both sides. It was a year of fighting for aid and for...

The Labor government has pledged to rush laws through the federal parliament that would ban “doxxing,” where the private details of individuals are published online. The details of the legislation have not been released, but the context makes clear that under the banner of defending privacy, Labor is preparing a far-reaching attack on civil liberties. Over the past four months of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the issue of doxxing has certainly come into sharp focus. Dozens of Australian doctors and nurses have been doxxed by Zionists for speaking out against Israel’s bombing of Gazan hospitals and its murder of...

The Australian government said on Tuesday it will outlaw doxxing — the malicious release online of personal or identifying information without the subject’s permission — after pro-Palestinian activists published personal details of hundreds of Jewish people in Australia.

Half of all Baby Boomers in the U.S. have no personal retirement savings. Endless promises from both Republican and Democratic administrations over the...

Before the vaccine rollout of 2021, these kinds of collapses were never seen before, and if they did happen, they were extremely rare. Now, it’s...

A bombshell new report has sent shockwaves around the world after an investigation into the high numbers of “Covid deaths” during the pandemic uncovered evidence that tens of thousands of elderly people were actually murdered to boost the mortality rates.

The explosive data from the report was made public by Australian politician Craig Kelly, the national director of the...
