Think the exploits of Mulder and Scully were just the stuff of on-screen entertainment? That the Men in Black were dreamed up by Hollywood? Or, that E.T. was just a less-than-cute, very annoying special-effect? Maybe it’s time to think again. Nick Redfern reveals the startling, conspiratorial truths behind Tinsel-Town’s out of this world fiction…
 
 
1. Men in Black: They may have first caught the public’s attention and imagination back in 1997, thanks to Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, but, their non-fiction counterparts have been skulking around for far longer. Indeed, both the MIB movies and the original comic-book series were inspired by countless reports from people who claimed menacing visits from real dark-suited men after seeing a UFO. And did you ever wonder why the characters of Smith and Jones are referred to as J and K? One of those that spent years famously investigating, and writing about, the real MIB was the author of The Mothman Prophecies, John Keel: J and K.

Address At Non-Aligned Conference in Tehran a “Breath of Fresh Air”

Simple Truth from an Unexpected Source

In Tehran, 120 nations got together, risking car bomb retaliation and the scorn of Mitt Romney and Sheldon Adelson to discuss why they think the UN is a cheap con and America and Israel are “full of it.” The numbers of nations no longer willing to “kiss butt” is a smackdown for Israel more than America.

'Grexit a must but EU leaders blind to reality'

Published on Sep 4, 2012 by

Moody's ratings agency has changed the Eurozone's outlook from stable to negative, warning it faces being downgraded.

That's despite relentless meetings between EU leaders, which have so far failed to deliver any solutions.


And a leaked email suggests that the Troika of international lenders want Greece - one of the most debt-stricken countries, to work six days a week and longer hours to fulfill their financial obligations.


Morten Messerschmidt, Danish MEP and member of the Freedom and Democracy group in the European Parliament, believes Greeks should exit the Eurozone to save themselves.

Love is the key to awakening

September 5, 2012 by John Smallman

Here in the spiritual realms, where many of you will soon join us, we are watching with pleasure and gratification as you make your way determinedly forwards along the rugged path you have so valiantly hewn that is leading you to Heaven. It has been a long and arduous journey, with many excursionary digressions along the way, and now you have reached its final stages.

You have indeed been stalwart of purpose as, despite the many alluring distractions that have from time to time drawn you away from your path, you have always staunchly and courageously returned to it.  Each time you have steadfastly reset your course after temporarily falling by the wayside, and your undying sense of purpose has provided much needed encouragement to the many waverers whom you have encountered, and who seemed to have lost their way.

You are on the edge of a massive disruption to normal life

Coconut Oil Hailed as ‘Miracle’ Dental Breakthrough, Deadly Bacteria Killer

coconutoil3 235x156 Coconut Oil Hailed as Miracle Dental Breakthrough, Deadly Bacteria KillerLooking for an alternative to toothpastes loaded with sulfates and other toxic ingredients such as fluoride? Mainstream science has now fully recognized the ‘miracle’ powers of coconut oil to not only combat tooth decay and drastically improve overall mouth health, but also to specifically crush a yeast known as candida albicans that can lead to deadly infections. This ‘news’ likely comes as nothing more than further confirmation for many, as natural health practicioners have been recommending coconut oil for years.

 

The research comes from the Athlone Institute of Technology, where Ireland-based scientists examined the effects of natural and digested coconut oil on common strains of bacteria within the mouth. What they found was that not only did the coconut oil effectively inhibit a majority of the bacteria strains single-handedly, but it was also particularly harmful to candida albicans. This is important when considering the fact that an excessive amount of the yeast known as candida albicans can be brought upon by a poor diet consisting of processed foods and sugar.
