Former RAF Officer Kept UFO Photograph Hidden for 32 Years
August 12th, 2022Via: Daily Mail:
It’s a picture the MoD and The National Archives have tried their utmost to keep hidden. While the information would normally have been released after 30 years, the Ministry has not released the original photo and wants the names of the witnesses sealed for a further 54 years — until 2076 — because of ‘privacy concerns’.
…
What happened to the file, the men who pictured the UFO and how and why its very existence has been suppressed for 32 years, was a puzzle I was determined to crack. Wherever I searched for answers, however, I found insiders blocking my inquiries — until I struck lucky and found retired RAF officer Craig Lindsay, the first official to speak to one of the young chefs after that night.
He was willing to talk to me and, most exciting of all, I discovered that he’d broken protocol that day and stashed a copy of the image before, on Whitehall’s orders, sending the entire dossier — negatives included — to the Ministry of Defence in London.
He’d kept the secret copy in his desk for 32 years — hidden inside his copy of Great Aircraft Of The World. When I eventually tracked him down, now 83 and still living in Scotland, he sounded almost relieved.
‘I have been for waiting for someone to contact about this for more than 30 years,’ he said.
Court Removes Page for Epstein Connected Judge Who Approved Raid of Trump’s Home
August 12th, 2022Via: Epoch Times:
A federal court in Florida has removed the webpage for the judge who signed off on the FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s home.
The page for U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart was taken down on Aug. 10, archived versions of it confirm.
“No information at this time,” the computer operations manager for the court, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, told The Epoch Times.
…
Reinhart was a trial attorney for the Department of Justice from 1988 to 1996, when he transitioned to being an assistant U.S. attorney based in West Palm Beach. He was involved with the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein, who ultimately avoided federal prosecution in exchange for pleading guilty to a single state charge of soliciting a minor.
Shortly after the plea deal was reached, Reinhart left the government and spent ten years in private practice.
Among those he represented were Epstein’s housekeeper and pilots, according to court filings.
Reverse-Engineering Insect Brains to Make Robots
August 12th, 2022Via: EETimes:
British startup Opteran, a spin–out of the University of Sheffield, has a completely different view of neuromorphic engineering compared to most of the industry. The company has reverse–engineered insect brains to derive new algorithms for collision avoidance and navigation that can be used in robotics.
Opteran calls its new approach to AI “natural intelligence,” taking direct biological inspiration for the algorithm portion of the system. This approach is separate to existing computer vision approaches, which mainly use either mainstream AI/deep learning or photogrammetry, a technique that uses 2D photographs to infer information about 3D objects, such as dimensions.
Opteran’s natural intelligence requires no training data, and no training, more like how a biological brain works. Deep learning today is capable of narrow AI — it can execute carefully defined tasks within a limited environment such as a computer game — but huge amounts of training data is required, as are computation and power consumption. Opteran wants to get around the limitations of deep learning by closely mimicking what brains really do, in order to build autonomous robots that can interact with the real world while on a tight computation and energy budget.
“Our purpose is to reverse– or re–engineer nature’s algorithms to create a software brain that enables machines to perceive, behave, and adapt more like natural creatures,” said professor James Marshall, chief scientific officer at Opteran, in a recent presentation at the Embedded Vision Summit.
Mar-a-Lago Raid: Washington Post Claims FBI Was After Documents Related to Nuclear Weapons
August 12th, 2022Oh sure.
Via: Reuters:
U.S. federal agents were looking for documents relating to nuclear weapons when they raided former President Donald Trump’s home in Florida this week, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.
It was not clear if such documents were recovered at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, the Post said. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.

Fox News on FBI Mar-a-Lago Raid: “We Were Talking About Aliens At The Top Of The Show”
August 11th, 2022Update: Dark Journalist: Constitutional Crisis Classified UFO File FBI Raid!

Listen to Dark Journalist Special Report: FBI Raids Mar-A-Lago: UFO File? Briefly, Dark Journalist thinks it’s-UFO related:
“There is a UFO file aspect to this, make no mistake.”
And now, this just went out on Fox News:
Iannarelli: The FBI would have put a warrant together with the concurrence of DoJ if they thought something was going to happen. Say there was classified information that they believed was suddenly going to be made public. Barring that, it’s unimaginable to me that they would have executed a warrant like this on such a high profile individual.”
Kennedy: But what kind of classified information. You know, we were talking about aliens at the top of the show. It has to be something massive. You know, all of a sudden the FBIs falling all over itself to make sure they make sure they get their hands on classified information.
U.K.’s Online Censorship Bill Causes Far More Harm Than It Attempts To Prevent
August 10th, 2022Via: Reason:
“If the Online Safety Bill passes, the U.K. government will be able to directly silence user speech, and even imprison those who publish messages that it doesn’t like,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s (EFF) Joe Mullin cautioned last week. “The bill empowers the UK’s Office of Communications (OFCOM) to levy heavy fines or even block access to sites that offend people. We said last year that those powers raise serious concerns about freedom of expression. Since then, the bill has been amended, and it’s gotten worse.”

FBI Raided Trumps Florida Home, Mar-a-Lago, Cracked Safe
August 9th, 2022Via: NY Post:
The FBI raided Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and broke into a safe in his palatial home, the former president confirmed Monday.
Trump said in a message on his social media forum Truth Social that his home had been “raided, and occupied” and was “currently under siege.”
FBI agents were reportedly searching for classified documents that Trump allegedly brought with him from the White House to Mar-a-Lago after his presidency ended — which, if true, could be a violation of federal law.
The National Archives and Records Administration said it had found classified material in 15 boxes at the residence earlier this year and alerted the FBI. The agents executed a search warrant Monday to look for additional presidential records Trump may have relocated to his Florida estate.
“Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The U.S. Made a Breakthrough Battery Discovery – Then Gave the Technology to China
August 8th, 2022Via: NPR:
When a group of engineers and researchers gathered in a warehouse in Mukilteo, Wash., 10 years ago, they knew they were onto something big. They scrounged up tables and chairs, cleared out space in the parking lot for experiments and got to work.
They were building a battery — a vanadium redox flow battery — based on a design created by two dozen U.S. scientists at a government lab. The batteries were about the size of a refrigerator, held enough energy to power a house, and could be used for decades. The engineers pictured people plunking them down next to their air conditioners, attaching solar panels to them, and everyone living happily ever after off the grid.
“It was beyond promise,” said Chris Howard, one of the engineers who worked there for a U.S. company called UniEnergy. “We were seeing it functioning as designed, as expected.”
But that’s not what happened. Instead of the batteries becoming the next great American success story, the warehouse is now shuttered and empty. All the employees who worked there were laid off. And more than 5,200 miles away, a Chinese company is hard at work making the batteries in Dalian, China.
The Chinese company didn’t steal this technology. It was given to them — by the U.S. Department of Energy. First in 2017, as part of a sublicense, and later, in 2021, as part of a license transfer. An investigation by NPR and the Northwest News Network found the federal agency allowed the technology and jobs to move overseas, violating its own licensing rules while failing to intervene on behalf of U.S. workers in multiple instances.
