As the Internet was rolled out across the planet during the 1990s and into the twenty-first century, many tales that would have likely remained localized and, essentially, hidden from the wider public came to the surface.

This 17 part documentary series takes a hard look at what many call “conspiracy theories”, and with thorough investigation backed by empirical evidence sheds light on the organizations, institutions, and individuals that seek to exude power over society. An absolute must watch for anyone who considers themselves a proponent of truth and liberty. It’s a question as old as conspiracy culture itself, who is really in charge? When we talk about “the powers that be”, or more aptly “the powers that shouldn’t be”, who exactly are we referring to? Plenty of works have attempted to dissect pieces of this puzzle, from esteemed…

Forty-eight hours before he was scheduled to report to federal prison, Keonne Rodriguez was still talking about code. In 2015, Rodriguez launched Samourai Wallet, a bitcoin wallet designed for financial privacy. Its signature feature, called Whirlpool, allowed users to combine their bitcoin with others’, obscuring the trail of who paid whom. “I think the best analogy for it is like smelting gold,” Rodriguez told Reason in 2022. “You take your bitcoin, you add it into Whirlpool, and Whirlpool smelts it into new pieces that are not associated to the original piece.” Federal prosecutors saw something very different. According to the Department of Justice,…

In one of the scariest moments in modern history, we’re doing our best at ScheerPost to pierce the fog of lies that conceal it but we need some help to pay our writers and staff.

Kourosh Ziabari for Truthout hroughout their war on Iran, the U.S. and Israel broke many norms of military engagement, such as systematically targeting academic institutions in Iran.

UPDATE: Israeli sources say Tel Aviv agreed to the ceasefire. Iran said it signed the truce agreement and that reopening the Strait of Hormuz was possible through coordination with the Iranian military. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran had agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and a two-week truce would begin. “Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and…

PopKiller boutique, Los Angeles. Photo: Jeffrey St. Clair. The Commerce Department released data on consumption and prices for the month of February today, and the picture is not good. Consumption is slowing and inflation is rising. Also, spending on health care continues to increase rapidly, which is bad news for the affordability gang. Real Consumption Story Starting with the consumption story, real consumption rose just 0.1 percent in February after being flat in January. In the last three months it grew at just a 0.8 percent annual rate. Many of us have noted that consumption seems to be driven largely…

President Donald Trump’s profanity-laced Easter Sunday social media post threatening to bomb civilian infrastructure in Iran led some Democratic lawmakers to call for his removal via the 25th Amendment. Trump wrote on Truth Social, spelling out the f-word: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F—–’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.” Reacting to Trump’s post, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., wrote on X, “If I were in Trump’s…

Sound reasoning, I think, from Judge Andrew Hanen (S.D. Tex.) Tuesday in Brown v. Splendora Indep. School Dist. Plus a bit more on other topics, which should offer a flavor of the set of complaints that plaintiff brought: “On or about March 12, 2025, during a class testing period, Teacher [Name Not Specified in Allegations] removed RB from the classroom and referred him for suspension.” (emphasis added). The reason he was removed, as specified in Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint, was that RB refused to sit in his assigned seat, was being difficult, and was talking across the room while others were…

Robert Inlakesh for Mintpress News Contradictions, Costs, and a Failed Mission in Iran. The F-15E rescue Iran operation, sold by the Trump administration as a ‘biblical’ triumph, stands exposed as one of the most costly and contradictory failures in modern military history. Not only did it set back the US taxpayer over $300 million dollars, Iran now claims that they foiled an attempt to seize the nation’s highly enriched uranium – explains geopolitical analyst Robert Inlakesh in this week’s MintPress Livestream. A triumphant success of biblical proportions, was the way US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth described his nation’s mission to…

Those who care about such things have been noting that the report required to be sent to Congress on UFOs (or “UAPs”) by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) on October 31 is late. By now, more than a month late! Just before the deadline The New York Times reported (October 28) that “Many Military U.F.O. Reports Are Just Foreign Spying or Airborne Trash.” That would seem to be a big embarrassment to those claiming that UFOs represent something mysterious and unknown.Now the Wall Street Journal has popped the Government UFO bubble, so to speak. In an…
