Damer contends psychedelics hold potential for more than addressing the mental health crisis. He is driven by the belief that psychedelic drugs can crack open the minds of scientists and other problem-solvers. In 2023, he founded the nonprofit organization the Center for MINDS (Multidisciplinary Investigation into Novel Discoveries and Solutions). Its philosophy: “Psychedelics and other consciousness practices may be our greatest underutilized tool for sparking paradigm-shifting breakthroughs.”

The Base Case: Russian Assets Burned San Francisco Power Grid
December 3rd, Rinaldo Nazzaro—founder of The Base, ex-Pentagon contractor, current St. Petersburg resident, alleged Russian intelligence asset—released an audio message calling for “acceleration teams” to conduct “targeted attacks on essential infrastructure” in the United States.
December 21st, a fire at PG&E’s Mission Street substation knocked out power to 130,000 San Francisco customers. One of the largest urban blackouts in recent American history.
The Base, fundamentally a Nazi group, is a designated terrorist organization in Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union.
It is not designated in the United States.
The FBI under President Trump, as a matter of historical fact, is acting today like how President Wilson did 100 years ago. Director Patel has expressly refused to investigate foreign assets and domestic terrorists threatening Americans:
…openly rerouted resources away from investigations of far-right extremists.
The World’s Right-Handed and Left-Handed Torturers
Jeanne Kirkpatrick, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, once made a highly-debatable distinction between “friendly” right-wing “authoritarian” regimes (which were mostly U.S. and Western allies) and “unfriendly” left-wing “totalitarian” dictatorships (which the U.S. abhorred).
Around the same time, successive U.S. administrations were cozying up to a rash of authoritarian regimes, mostly in the Middle East, widely accused of instituting emergency laws, detaining dissidents, cracking down on the press, torturing political prisoners and rigorously imposing death penalties.
Kirkpatrick’s distinction between user-friendly right-wing regimes and unfriendly left-wing dictators prompted a sarcastic response from her ideological foe at that time, former Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, who shot back: “It seems to me that if you’re on the rack (and being tortured), it doesn’t make any difference if your torturer is right-handed or left-handed.”
Last month, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Alice Jill Edwards, warned that rigorous oversight of security and policing trade fairs is necessary to prevent prohibited and inherently abusive law enforcement equipment hitting the market after such items were found on display at Milipol 2025, an arms and security trade fair held in Paris from 18 to 21 November.
“Direct-contact electric shock devices, multiple kinetic impact projectiles and multi-barrel launchers cause unnecessary suffering and ought to be banned,” Edwards said. “Their trade and promotion should be prohibited across all 27 EU Member States and globally.”
Under the EU Anti-Torture Regulation – first introduced in 2006 and strengthened in 2019 – companies are banned from promoting, displaying or trading certain equipment that can be used for torture or ill-treatment. In 2025, the EU further expanded the list of prohibited and controlled law enforcement items, according to a UN press release.
Moscow Court Orders Arrest of Garry Kasparov in Terrorism Justification Case
Investigators have formally charged Kasparov in absentia with public calls for terrorist activity and the public justification of terrorism.
If convicted, the former world chess champion faces a potential prison sentence of up to seven years under Russian criminal law.
Texas sues biggest TV makers, alleging smart TVs spy on users without consent
“These companies have been unlawfully collecting personal data through Automated Content Recognition (‘ACR’) technology,” Paxton’s office alleged in a press release that contains links to all five lawsuits. “ACR in its simplest terms is an uninvited, invisible digital invader. This software can capture screenshots of a user’s television display every 500 milliseconds, monitor viewing activity in real time, and transmit that information back to the company without the user’s knowledge or consent. The companies then sell that consumer information to target ads across platforms for a profit. This technology puts users’ privacy and sensitive information, such as passwords, bank information, and other personal information at risk.”

It would be unreasonable to expect consumers to understand that Samsung TVs come equipped with surveillance capabilities, the lawsuit said. “Most consumers do not know, nor have any reason to suspect, that Samsung Smart TVs are capturing in real-time the audio and visuals displayed on the screen and using the information to profile them for advertisers,” it said.
Trump at ‘risk of becoming the deep state’ after Epstein file omissions
Extensive redactions and the limited number of documents released related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein angered some Republicans and did little to defuse a scandal threatening the party ahead of the 2026 midterm election.
[…]
The new disclosure represented only a fraction of the total data the FBI and Justice Department have said they possess related to Epstein and was heavily redacted, including several documents of 100 pages or more that were entirely blacked out.
Also notable was the dearth of references to Trump, who had a well-publicised friendship with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s. Instead, the released files extensively featured former president Bill Clinton, a Democrat and political foe.
Mind Control BCI Tech is Here, and China’s Scaling it Faster than Elon Musk
The comparison between China’s BCI progress and Elon Musk’s Neuralink is tempting but simplistic. Neuralink confirmed during its recent PRIME human brain-implant trial that the company implanted its coin-sized brain chips in twelve patients by September 2025, marking an important milestone in Western neurotechnology. However, China’s progress must be measured differently—not by patient count alone, but by system-level coordination and national momentum.
While Neuralink focuses on refining its surgical robot and wireless implant for consumer-level adoption, China’s approach focuses on building a full industrial chain. Comprehensive industrial planning covers every component from core hardware to software protocols.

UNESCO’s Warning Shot: Mental Privacy Is a Human-Rights Issue
In December 2025, the adoption of UNESCO’s global ethical framework for neurotechnology made history as the first international agreement to address neurotechnology at a human-rights level. The framework calls mental privacy a universal right and warns that thought-level data must never be exploited without explicit consent. It emphasizes that neurotechnology should preserve dignity, autonomy, and mental integrity—the core of what makes individuals human.
UNESCO’s recommendations also encourage governments to create ethical oversight boards to review BCI projects, similar to institutional review boards in medical research. It suggests that nations invest in public education so citizens understand what BCIs can and cannot do. Transparency, the framework argues, is the first safeguard against misuse.
For China, these global standards present both opportunity and challenge. Aligning domestic neurotech policy with UNESCO’s principles could enhance global trust and foster international collaboration. However, the inclusion of surveillance as a potential application in national planning documents raises questions about how privacy will be maintained. The global community is watching whether China can balance rapid progress with respect for mental autonomy.
New Bermuda Triangle mystery as ‘giant structure found’ and conspiracy theories reignite
But what have scientists actually found there? Well, it’s not an ancient city, but it is an important geological discovery which could shed light on how the area is structured.
Using seismic studies, the scientists found a rock some 12.4 miles thick under the oceanic crust beneath Bermuda. That thickness has not been recorded in a similar geological layer anywhere else in the world.
[…]
Scientists still don’t know quite how the rock came to be there, but it could explain why Bermuda sits on what’s called an ‘oceanic swell’, where the sea bed is higher than the surrounding areas. Normally this is the result of volcanic activity depositing material on the sea floor, but there is not that level of activity in the Bermuda Triangle, making the origin of the swell a mystery.
EXCLUSIVE REPORT – Caspian Shock Doctrine: How Ukraine’s December 2025 Kinetic Strikes Redefined Asymmetric Warfare Against Russia’s Energy Rear
The operational success in the Caspian basin, occurring near-simultaneously with the first-ever strike on a Shadow Fleet tanker, the Qendil, in the Mediterranean Sea on December 19, 2025, suggests a coordinated campaign to degrade the Kremlin’s “petrodollar” lifecycle at its primary nodes. Data from the SBU indicates that the Filanovsky field represents one of Russia’s most critical offshore assets, possessing reserves of 129 million tons of oil and 30 billion cubic meters of gas Ukrinform, Dec 20, 2025. The incapacitation of this infrastructure, alongside the Rakushechnoye (Valery Grayfer) and Korchagin platforms, effectively targets 11% of Lukoil’s domestic crude production Rigzone, Dec 18, 2025. This trans-regional reach is facilitated by the deployment of the Lyutyi class UAV, which possesses an operational radius of 2,000 kilometers, enabling Kyiv to bypass Russian layered air defenses by traversing “blind spots” in the vast interior of the Russian Federation.
Furthermore, the technological support apparatus provided by NATO allies has evolved from the provision of hardware to the enablement of “Transparent Battlefield” operations. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) AI-Enabled Autonomous Warfare, March 2025, Ukraine has integrated real-time multi-sensor fusion—amalgamating satellite imagery, acoustic sensors, and open-source intelligence—into the Delta situational awareness platform. This allows for the precise timing of strikes to coincide with gaps in Russian electronic warfare (EW) cycles. The Mediterranean strike on the Qendil emphasizes this globalized vector, proving that Ukraine can now project power into neutral waters of the Suez-Atlantic transit routes, a capability previously reserved for blue-water navies. As Moscow attempts to maintain its offensive in the Donbas, the fiscal and psychological pressure of these “deep-strike” maritime operations forces a critical misallocation of Russian air defense resources, moving them away from the front lines to protect high-value economic assets in the Caspian and Arctic fringes.
Nostradamus prediction for 2026: World war, great swarm of bees, blood will overflow, chilling prophecies of Nostradamus going viral
According to Nostradamus, he states that “a great swarm of bees will come, and the night will turn black. Most historians view this passage as using metaphorical language. Throughout history, bees have been interpreted as symbols of authority or success, such as with the Ancient Egyptians and Napoleon’s era. Several scholars believe that this passage indicates a powerful leader or force rising to cause great changes in our world and further complicating the existing world order.
What does the prophecy about blood overflowing mean?
The following section of the Seer’s prophecy concerning Ticino, the southern canton of Switzerland bordering Northern Italy, describes that there will be “a flooding of blood”. Although there is no consensus on what this means, analysts believe it may be referring to the potential for new unrest in Europe during the next few years. The wording of this verse has been interpreted to refer to a metaphor for a possible widespread conflict in Europe, particularly in areas already dealing with political instability and heightened military activity. This region is known for its natural beauty, lakes, and glaciers, making such a prediction particularly alarming.
