Drone-like objects spotted over Kolkata on Monday night; espionage angle under probe

21.05.25, 12:49 PM

Several drone-like objects were recently spotted hovering over the night sky in Kolkata, prompting the police to investigate the matter from all angles, including the possibility of espionage, officials said on Wednesday.

At least 8-10 such objects were found flying over the Hastings area, the Vidyasagar Setu and Maidan on Monday night, they said.

The Centre has also sought a report from the West Bengal government over the incident, a senior bureaucrat in the state administration said.

A Defence official said the “reports of drone sightings over Kolkata have been received and are currently under investigation”.

"Efforts are underway to ascertain the veracity of this event," he said in a statement.

Personnel at the Hastings Police Station first spotted these flying objects having similarities with drones, police sources said.

"These drone-like-objects were seen flying from the direction of Maheshtala in South 24 Parganas district late on Monday.

They hovered over the Hastings area, the Second Hooghly Bridge (Vidyasagar Setu) and Fort William (the army’s Eastern Command headquarters)," a police officer said.

Such flying objects were also seen over Park Circus area in the eastern part of the metropolis before disappearing, he said.

The Special Task Force (STF) and the Detective Department of Kolkata Police have already initiated an investigation, he said.

"We are probing the matter from all angles, including the possibility of espionage," the officer said.

The Vatican, the Desert, and the UFO Nobody Wants to Talk About

Updated: 21 May 2025 • 12:08

There’s something strange happening in the skies. Not just over Arizona, where an F-16 fighter jet recently collided with a glowing UFO, but also behind the locked doors of the Vatican’s secret archives.

The two seem worlds apart – one a dry, windswept military zone; the other a centuries-old fortress of spiritual authority. But what if the truth is suspended somewhere between them?

A Recent UFO Crash That Wasn’t Supposed to Happen

On a quiet day in January 2023, an F-16 Viper was forced to make an emergency landing. Its canopy shattered mid-air.

The reason? An orange-white orb – described as a “metallic,” “uncrewed aerial system” – smashed into the jet somewhere over Arizona.

The pilot survived. This was one of the four similar incidents reported that same day.

According to FAA reports and multiple military pilots who have since come forward, this wasn’t a one-off.

These UASs – or UFOs, let’s stop dancing around the word – have been swarming American skies for years.

They fly in groups. They shimmer. They move like they know we’re watching.

Military brass suggests these might be cartel drones. If that’s true, the cartels have leapfrogged DARPA in propulsion tech.

Because these things don’t fly – they move at speeds, altitudes, and with coordination we can’t explain.

The Vatican Knows. Or Suspects.

Half a world away, Pope Leo XIV has reportedly received a curious chest. Inside? A centuries-old document about unexplained phenomena involving UFOs.

If the claims are true, it’s classified beyond belief – sealed behind Vatican walls and protected like a divine secret the world was never meant to know.

But dig around and you’ll find references to glowing orbs, divine messengers, and aerial “disks” scattered across Church reports from the 1600s onward.

So – again, if the claims about the file are true – why are the Vatican so secretive? What would they stand to lose? Or gain?

A Unified Theory of Weird?

It’s tempting to write all this off. The military collision as a drone mishap. The secret Vatican Church files as religious folklore. But something doesn’t add up.

Not when elite fighter jets are grounding themselves because of “unidentified” collisions, and not when the Catholic Church quietly catalogues hundreds of sightings with language that eerily mirrors modern UFO descriptions.

Here’s a question worth asking: What if these phenomena – military, mystical, metaphysical – aren’t so separate? What if they’re parts of the same story?

The difference is how they’re framed. The military calls them security threats. The Church calls them miracles. Scientists call them anomalies.

But all agree on one point: they’re real, and no one fully understands them.

There’s a storm coming.

Phone companies failed to warn senators about surveillance, Wyden says

Government surveillance of lawmakers, though legal, raises concerns that members of Congress cannot effectively legislate when they are being spied on.

Alfred Ng 05/21/2025, 12:07pm ET

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) revealed in a new letter to Senate colleagues Wednesday that AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile failed to create systems for notifying senators about government surveillance on Senate-issued devices — despite a requirement to do so.

Phone service providers are contractually obligated to inform senators (what about Congress Members), when a law enforcement agency requests their records, thanks to protections enacted in 2020.But in an investigation, Wyden’s staff found that none of the three major carriers had created a system to send those notifications.

“My staff discovered that, alarmingly, these crucial notifications were not happening, likely in violation of the carriers’ contracts with the [Senate Sergeant at Arms], leaving the Senate vulnerable to surveillance,” Wyden said in the letter, obtained first by POLITICO, dated May 21.

Wyden said that the companies all started providing notification after his office’s investigation. But one carrier told Wyden’s office it had previously turned over Senate data to law enforcement without notifying lawmakers, according to the letter. When reached for comment, spokespeople for AT&T and Verizon defended their companies against accusations of noncompliance.

“We are complying with our obligations to the Senate Sergeant at Arms,” said AT&T spokesperson Alex Byers in a statement. “We have received no legal demands regarding Senate offices under the current contract,which began last June.” Said Verizon spokesperson Richard Young in a statement, “We respect the Senator’s view that providers should give notice to Senators if we receive legal process regarding their use of their personal devices,but disagree with his policy position.”T-Mobile did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Despite the positive outcome of the staff inquiry, Wyden warned senators that holes in the system still exist, specifically when it comes to personal devices.Major carriers are required to disclose government records requests only for Senate-issued devices, but lawmakers commonly use devices outside of that scope.

“[S]ignificant gaps remain, especially for the campaign and personal phones used by most senators,” Wyden wrote.

AT&T and Verizon told Wyden thatthey will now provide notice of surveillance only for phone lines issued by the Senate, while T-Mobile agreed to also provide notice for senators’ personal and campaign devices.

In the meantime, Wyden recommended for senators and their staff to consider switching to mobile providers that offer surveillance notifications for both their personal and campaign devices. He also flagged cybersecurity concerns within the Senate,pointing out that senators’ personal and campaign devices don’t have the same protections enjoyed by agencies like the Departments of State and Defense.

This all comes as Wyden is seeking to secure new regulations in the legislative branch appropriations bill that would allocate government resources to protect senators’ personal devices. He proposed legislation to this effect in 2019 with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) in the wake of Russian hacking threats from the 2016 election, but the bill never advanced out of committee.

While it’s legal for the government to conduct surveillance of lawmakers in certain situations, it raises concerns that members of Congress cannot effectively legislate when they know are being spied on.

A Justice Department watchdog report published last December revealed that the first Trump administration had requested communication records of 43 congressional staffers. That confirmed a 2021 report in the New York Times that Trump officials had subpoenaed digital records from members of Congress and their families. The DOJ report found that the surveillance threatened “Congress’s ability to conduct oversight of the executive branch.” (They fail to mention that Nunes, Patel and many others were tapped by Rosenstein and the FBI, this was not approved by TrumpShouldn't the citizens be treated the same way?)

'A Quarter of a Mil' - Rep Burchett's Bombshell Autopen Claim Says We'll Find That Autopen Staffers Sold Pardons

For those of you who don’t recall, Biden’s list of pardons and grants of clemency were extraordinarily broad. In addition to pardoning his own son, Hunter Biden — who he said he absolutely wouldn’t pardon after his convictions on felony charges — his White House publicly advertised that the president went on the “largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history” in December 2024, then preemptively pardoned controversial Biden-era figures like former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Mark Milley, and others.

Among those receiving pardons or clemency included a Pennsylvania judge who sold minors into for-profit prisons as part of a bribery scheme and multiple murderers.

Astronomers Claim To Have Found Even Stronger Evidence That Alien Life Lies On Distant Exoplanet

May 20, 2025 11:26 am

Last month, astronomers claimed to have found the strongest evidence ever of alien life on a distant exoplanet named K2-18 b.

They believe that exoplanet, which was discovered in 2015, has chemicals in its atmosphere that are only created on Earth by living organisms.

“There may be processes that we don’t know about that are producing these molecules,” Nikku Madhusudhan, Professor of Astrophysics and Exoplanetary Science at the University of Cambridge, said about their discovery.

“But I don’t think there is any known process that can explain this without biology.”

Unfortunately, not everyone in the scientific community agreed with those findings. In fact, several scientists thought Madhusudhan and his team jumped the gun a little bit with their claims.

“Life is one of the options, but it’s one among many,” Dr. Nora Hanni, a chemist of the Physics Institute at the University of Berne, told The Guardian. “We would have to strictly rule out all the other options before claiming life.”

Fast forward to this week and Madhusudhan and his colleagues have reanalyzed their data and claim to have even more evidence that these chemicals could only have been produced by alien life.

“Our exploration includes 650 molecules, spanning a wide range of trace gases, including biotic, abiotic, and anthropogenic gases on Earth,” the scientists wrote in their research paper published on the preprint server arXiv.

“We investigate possible evidence for any of these gases using three metrics: (a) evidence in the JWST mid-infrared spectrum, (b) evidence in the JWST near-infrared spectrum, and (c) plausible sources of production.

“We find three molecules, including DMS, which appear promising across the datasets considered.

The two molecules besides DMS are diethyl sulfide and methyl acrylonitrile, which are more complex than DMS, biogenic on Earth, and have no significant sources known beyond Earth.

A few other gases also provide comparable fits to a subset of the data considered but again with limited known plausible sources.”

Madhusudhan doubled down on his team’s original findings that they found evidence of alien life on exoplanet K2-18 b, telling New Scientist, “After our most recent work, I am slightly more confident.”

Again, though, there are naysayers. One of them, Luis Welbanks at Arizona State University, told New Scientist that this new research “is a major change in interpretation within just one month, with no new data, no new retrieval framework, and no newly available [laboratory molecule] data” and that it “strongly suggests the original interpretation was not robust.”

Madhusudhan, of course, disagrees, but his team did at least state in their research paper that their “study highlights the need for further observations to distinguish between possible trace gases in K2-18 b and theoretical work to establish their plausible sources if confirmed on this planet.”

Congress To Seize Control Of AI: States Stripped Of Regulatory Power

...buried deep in the 1,116 page “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”

Section 43201 of the bill, blandly titled the “Artificial Intelligence and Information Technology Modernization Initiative,” doesn’t just fund the federal government’s full-scale AI expansion—it removes every state’s right to regulate artificial intelligence for the next decade.

Let that sink in: For the next ten years, no state in America—not even your state—will be allowed to create its own safeguards, protections, or liability standards for how AI is developed or deployed.

“No State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models… during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.”

- Sec. 43201(c)(1) of the bill

This is not a theoretical threat.

It’s a federal ban on local AI regulation—handing the reins to the very bureaucrats and corporate tech giants already embedding AI into military systems, healthcare, financial markets, education, and law enforcement.

This section of the bill is a preemptive strike against state sovereignty.

It neuters legislatures and governors from protecting their own citizens—just as powerful corporations and federal agencies rush to install AI systems into every layer of society.

It’s not just overreach.

It’s a federal power grab dressed as “modernization.”

And President Trump is now marching on Capitol Hill to personally demand the bill’s passage—pushing the very legislation that would shield his $500 billion Stargate AI surveillance grid from any state-level resistance.

GLAAD Claims Free Speech Surge On Social Media Undermines LGBT Safety

One of the most detrimental self-sabotage efforts of the woke movement was their rabid push to control public speech online. In the case of gay and trans issues, any criticism no matter how factual or logical was met with Orwellian oversight. For most major social media apps, simply engaging in debate with LGBT activists could mean your account would be flagged and silenced for days or weeks at a time. Refusing to use a trans person's preferred pronouns could result in a permanent ban.

Such policies were established hand-in-hand with federal government efforts to codify LGBT language and make gay and trans people a privileged class protected from any and all scrutiny. Governments and social media platforms partnered up to institute speech controls that might not be possible otherwise. Under the guise of "protecting LGBT people" from discrimination, the door to arbitrary censorship was opened.

This is why in the US there is no such thing as a legal definition for "hate speech". Classifying any speech as "hate speech" would represent a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. Yes, you can "yell fire" in a crowded theater, and yes you can call people whatever pejoratives you want to call them. Hurt feelings are irrelevant to the law, and this is a good thing.

GLAAD, the gay and trans lobby group, thinks otherwise.

Trump to huddle with Johnson and hard-liners to seal deal on megabill

The president sees Andy Harris and Chip Roy as key holdouts on the “big, beautiful bill” who need to be flipped.

By Meredith Lee Hill and Jake Traylor 05/21/2025, 12:56pm ET

Speaker Mike Johnson and House Freedom Caucus members will head to the White House for a 3 p.m. meeting today, according to three Republicans with direct knowledge of the matter.

The high-stakes gathering will come after talks with hard-liners blew up overnight over the fate of the “one big, beautiful bill” House Republican leaders still say they want to pass before the end of the day Wednesday.

According to a White House official granted anonymity share private conversations, President Donald Trump is narrowing in on Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris and a vocal member, Chip Roy, as two key hold-outs to sway.

The House Rules Committee has been meeting for almost 12 hours to pave the way for floor consideration of the party-line package of tax cuts and extensions, border security investments, energy policy and more. But final bill text remains at large amid fights over cuts to Medicaid and repeals of clean energy tax credits, among other outstanding issues.

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/05/21/congress/speaker-hard-liners-to-white-house-00362637

So Trump promised them this yesterday, and Johnson wouldn’t do it:

Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland, who leads the House Freedom Caucus, said the holdouts had “accepted the White House’s offer last night,” referring to a handshake dealto speed up Medicaid work requirements and the phase-out of Inflation Reduction Act tax credits,but then said their concerns had been “inadequately” addressed by House GOP leadership. He cast doubt on passage of the bill Wednesday.

(Johnson is Liar, I know Trump think’s he is great, but he’s as deceptive as McCarthy. There’s no way to get corruption out of the Congress in both houses. If you want to keep your soul, NEVER get elected for office in DC, or elsewhere. I think it might be helpful if Trump met with Harris & Roy, to hear them out.)

Zelensky to Trump: ‘Ukraine Is Ready for a Full and Unconditional Ceasefire’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared in a statement following a conversation with President Donald Trump on Monday his country “is ready for a full and unconditional ceasefire,” asserting that Russia, the invading country, must be convinced to agree to one.

President Trump spoke to Zelensky on Monday before and after a separate phone conversation with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, which the American president spoke favorably about. Trump’s direct conversation with Putin followed a chaotic week for Ukraine peace talks in which Putin initially proposed a ceasefire, Zelensky responded by flying to Turkey and challenging Putin to meet him in person, and Putin rejected the invite. Low-level Ukrainian and Russian delegations held talks in Istanbul of Friday that did not lead to any meaningful reduction in violence.

“Russian demands are detached from reality and go far beyond anything that was previously discussed. They include ultimatums for Ukraine to withdraw from its territory for a ceasefire and other non-starters and non-constructive conditions,” an unnamed Ukrainian official complained, the U.K. Times reported.

Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014, colonizing its Crimean peninsula, and has been actively backing “pro-Russian” separatists in the eastern Donbass region since. In 2022, Putin announced a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, arguing that Zelensky, who was democratically elected, was an illegitimate “Nazi” dictator. That invasion has led to the Russian conquest of the entire Donbass region and the Ukrainian territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.

Under former President Joe Biden, the United States effusively financed the Ukrainian war effort and did not effectively advocate for an end to the conflict. President Trump has prioritized dialogue leading to an end in the video and proposed several potential mediating entities in addition to America, including Turkey and the Vatican.

Zelensky announced in a message posted to social media on Monday that he held two separate phone conversations with Trump, the second a conference call also featuring several heads of government around the world including French President Emmanuel Macron, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Explosive revelations on COVID-19 Origins from Professor Emeritus Dr. Angus Dalgleish

In a gripping discussion, Dr. Angus Dalgleish, Professor Emeritus of Oncology at St. George’s, University of London, unveils a disturbing narrative surrounding the origins of SARS-CoV-2, pointing to an orchestrated cover-up led by Dr. Anthony Fauci. Drawing from redacted transcripts and insider correspondence, Dalgleish exposes a critical telephone call where Fauci dismissed the lab-leak hypothesis as a “conspiracy theory,” despite compelling evidence to the contrary.

Dalgleish highlights the unprecedented presence of a furin cleavage sequence in the virus—a molecular “hedge cutter” never seen in this class of coronaviruses, making it suspiciously infectious. Notably, virologist Dr. Jeremy Farrar’s wife, a scientist, flagged this anomaly as indicative of a potential lab origin, yet Farrar and others remained silent. Why?

Dalgleish alleges Fauci manipulated key scientists, including Anderson, to publish the now-infamous “Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” paper in Nature, which he deems “the worst paper I’ve ever read.” Within days, Fauci brandished it in Senate to assert a natural origin, while the authors secured hefty NIH grants.

The plot thickens: Dalgleish claimsFauci funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan via EcoHealth Alliance and USAID, bypassing Obama-era bans by offshoring experiments. American scientist Ralph Baric, a pioneer in seamless RNA engineering, was a frequent co-author on Wuhan papers, leaving no genetic “fingerprints.” This, Dalgleish argues, enabled the creation of a virus with no obvious signs of manipulation.

Why the cover-up? Dalgleish suggests Fauci and allies labeled lab-leak proponents as racists to suppress debate, protecting their roles in funding risky research. The excuse? The pandemic’s urgency demanded focus on containment, not origins—a“globalist playbook” sacrificing science and democracy for “the greater good.”

Dalgleish’s account, rooted in his scientific expertise and meticulous analysis, demands accountability. The evidence points to a lab-engineered virus and a deliberate effort to silence dissent. Will the truth prevail?

What if there were cures

Scientists Just Discovered an RNA That Repairs DNA Damage – And It’s a Game-Changer

Our DNA is constantly under threat — from cell division errors to external factors like sunlight and smoking. Fortunately, cells have intricate repair mechanisms to counteract this damage.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising role played by long non-coding RNA, particularly NEAT1, in stabilizing the genome. Their findings suggest that NEAT1, when highly methylated, helps the cell recognize and repair broken DNA strands more efficiently. This discovery could pave the way for new cancer treatments targeting tumors with high NEAT1 expression.

Genome Instability and Disease Risk

Every time a cell divides, its DNA is at risk of damage. To complete division, the cell must copy its entire genetic code — billions of letters long — which can lead to occasional errors. But cell division isn’t the only threat. Over time, exposure to factors like sunlight, alcohol, and cigarette smoke can also harm DNA, increasing the risk of cancer and other diseases.

Fortunately, cells have built-in repair systems to counteract this damage. This process, known as the DNA damage response (DDR), activates specific signaling pathways that detect and fix errors. These mechanisms help maintain genetic stability and ensure the cell’s survival.

I have prostate cancer. I had a prostatectomy 12 years ago. I've helped patients with prostate cancer for 40 years. If caught early, it is very treatable. So this story about doctors finding a nodule & suddenly Pres. Biden has metastatic disease? It doesn't pass the sniff test.

Thomas Massie unloads on fellow conservatives as megabill negotiations continue

The Kentucky Republican has taken to social media to blast his party for plowing ahead on a bill nobody will have time to read.

By BEN LEONARD and MIA MCCARTHY

05/21/2025, 2:46PM ET

House GOP leaders and the White House are pushing for a final passage vote today on a roughly 1,100-page bill that hasn’t even been fully written — and one Republican lawmaker is taking notice in a very public way.

Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, fresh from being called out by President Donald Trump the day before as a “grandstander” who doesn’t “understand government,” is using his social media platform to call attention to the path down which Republicans are headed.

“Major provisions of the big beautiful bill are still being negotiated and written, yet we are being told we will vote on it today,” Massie said in one X post on Wednesday. “Shouldn’t we take more than a few hours to read a bill this big and this consequential?”

In a follow-up, Massie noted, “it’s in our rules that we will have 72 [hours] to read every bill. Yet it’s been circumvented this week by a ‘manager’s amendment’ which substantially changes the bill but should only contain technical clarifications.”

That manager’s amendment would reflect the major policy changes leaders are currently discussing with conservative hard-liners. It would replace the base text of the GOP megabill that is currently being debated in the House Rules Committee, which needs to take a vote to pave the way for floor consideration of the party-line domestic policy package.

Leadership wanted to pass that bill before the end of the day. But the Rules panel has been meeting since 1 a.m. on Wednesday and shows no sign of concluding anytime soon. Speaker Mike Johnson and members of the House Freedom Caucus are also heading to the White House to meet with Trump on the megabill later this afternoon to try to break the impasse over the scale of spending cuts on the table.

In another X post, Massie applied his own captions to a popular meme — a photo of one man noticing a woman walking down the street, while another woman looks on horrified. In Massie’s version, the woman being admired is labeled “one big beautiful bill,” the man is tagged as “MAGA” and the other woman has the description, “no more omnibus bills.”

The Republican domestic policy package is not technically an omnibus, which refers to a piece of legislation that bundles together multiple appropriations bills. But fiscal hawks, including Massie, have raged over the megabill’s price tag, complaining that it doesn’t do enough to cut spending.

Johnson is doing what McCarthy did and he’s fine with it!

Syria facing collapse – Rubio

A civil war of “epic proportions” could erupt within weeks, the top US diplomat has claimed

Syria could face a surge of violence and total collapse within weeks, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told lawmakers in Washington.

The top US diplomat has defended President Donald Trump’s approach to Syria, including the decision to lift unilateral sanctionsand meet in person with the new Syrian president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, despite his jihadist background.

”The transitional authority, given the challenges they’re facing, are maybe weeks – not many months – away from potential collapse and a full-scale civil war of epic proportions,” Rubio told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday. “Basically, the country is splitting up.”

The secretary blamed former President Bashar Assad for the continued violence since 2011, when a US-backed effort to remove him from power led to a prolonged and bloody conflict.

Rubio said Syria had become “a playground for jihadist groups, including ISIS and others.” Al-Sharaa, who once led the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) under the name Abu Mohammad al-Julani, rose to power after deposing Assad last year.

=Although the new Syrian leadership “didn’t pass their background check with the FBI,” Rubio said the US must support them to prevent wider regional instability==. He argued that pragmatic foreign policy means that the US human rights agenda is “different in certain parts of the world”than in others.

Lifting sanctions would allow foreign aid into Syria, potentially stabilizing the economy and encouraging millions of displaced Syrians to return, Rubio said.The White House, however, remains uncertain whether its approach will succeed.

”If we engage [the al-Sharaa government], it may work out, it may not work out,” Rubio stated.“If we did not engage them, it was guaranteed to not work out.”

US sanctions had aimed to stymie Assad’s efforts to rebuild the country after he regained control of most of Syria by 2015. Persistent issues had eroded the morale of the Syrian military, which largely refused to defend Damascus when HTS launched its offensive last November.

Al-Sharaa has pledged to uphold Syria’s ethnic and religious diversity as he courts Western backing.However, his rule has been marked by reported massacres of Alawites, Christians, and Assad supporters.

Israel has carried out multiple airstrikes in Syria in recent months, claiming the attacks were intended to defend Druze militias from fighters aligned with the new government.

Richard Grenell, appointed by President Trump to lead the Kennedy Center, revealed the discovery of $26 million in “phantom revenue” during a board dinner at the White House. Calling the discrepancy “fake revenue” and “criminal,” Grenell said the matter would be referred to the U.S. attorney’s office.

The issue was identified during a financial review led by newly appointed chief financial officer Donna Arduin. The investigation followed sweeping changes at the institution, including the removal of Biden-era board members, the ousting of longtime chairman David M. Rubenstein, and Trump naming himself chairman.
