Net Zero-Obsessed Britain Faces Down Unspoken Energy Crisis Amid Accusations of Coverup

Britain’s electrical system operator has once again pleaded with generators to make extra electricity on Thursday to cover unexpectedly tight margins as it faces extraordinary allegations made in Parliament of covering up the extent of grid vulnerability to blackouts.

The UK’s National Energy Systems Operator (NESO), the 2024-founded energy grid body tasked with balancing the supply and demand of electricity in real time, has issued a margin warning for Thursday. This is the third such margin warning of the summer — and previously unheard of, as in the era before the focus on decarbonisation energy shortfalls were only ever encountered in the deep winter — and NESO stated on Wednesday its forecasts for Thursday evening had identified a shortage of 1.2 gigawatts, the equivalent to the loss of a whole Sizewell B-sized nuclear power plant.

The shortage comes as hot, calm weather across north-western Europe sees energy demand rise, but supply fall as wind turbines stand idle.

Media Claim: He Fought for the U.S. in Afghanistan, and ICE Killed Him. Here’s What Really Happened

Any man who fought against the Taliban is a hero, but that alone does not mean he qualifies for a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV). On November 26, 2025, Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who had served in a CIA-backed Afghan paramilitary unit, shot two West Virginia National Guard members near the White House, killing one and critically wounding the other.

Following the shooting, President Trump ordered a “re-examination” of every Afghan national admitted to the United States under the Biden administration. An estimated 190,000 to 200,000 Afghans have been resettled in the United States since the 2021 withdrawal, most under humanitarian parole rather than the SIV program.

On March 14, 2026, Afghan national Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal died in ICE custody in Richardson, Texas. Media coverage described him as a “special forces soldier,” wording that could be interpreted to mean he served in U.S. Special Forces. However, he was not a member of the U.S. military.

AfghanEvac states that he partnered with U.S. Army Special Forces, specifically the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), in Paktika Province beginning in 2005, rather than serving in the U.S. military.

AfghanEvac is an advocacy and volunteer coalition formed after the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan to help evacuate and resettle Afghans who worked with U.S. forces and to advocate for their immigration cases.

The phrase “worked with U.S. forces,” as used by AfghanEvac and in much of the reporting, is a broad umbrella term. It encompasses the full range of Afghan nationals who supported the U.S. mission, not just those in combat roles. This includes interpreters and translators, logistics and transportation contractors, drivers, base support personnel, including laundry, food service, construction, and maintenance workers, intelligence and cultural advisors, as well as members of partnered Afghan military or police units.

Secret CIA ‘workbook’ claims simple five-step exercise can supercharge the human body

A ‘workbook’ created by a secret US Army program claimed to have developed a simple five-step method of supercharging the human body. 

Created by the Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences in Virginia in 1977, the 21-page document taught advanced mental skills for expanding awareness, remote perception, problem-solving, relieving pain and building energy.

However, on page 14 of the workbook, which was declassified and released by the CIA in 2003, users were taught how to ‘charge the body from great speed and strength’ with five easy steps.

Before tackling an intense activity such as lifting a heavy object or sprinting, the manual instructed users to close their eyes for a moment. Then, take a deep breath in.

While breathing in, the workbook said to mentally focus on two things at once: the exact physical action to be done and the ‘strong energy of red’ filling the body.

As the person breathes out, they open their eyes and immediately do the action – allegedly giving them a noticeable physical boost and better reflexes.

The classified workbook said: ‘You will be able immediately to perform the physical act you have pictured – with far greater strength, much more rapidly and with smooth total coordination of your physical body.’

The meditation training was part of a series of secret programs funded by the CIA from roughly 1972 to 1995, which explored methods of expanding consciousness and human potential for spies and special ops teams.

Doctor warns of ‘cancer tsunami’ as WHO projects sharp rise in cases by 2050

A new report from the World Health Organization warns that the number of people diagnosed with cancer each year is expected to surge over the next quarter-century.

The report projects annual cancer diagnoses will climb from about 20 million today to nearly 35 million by 2050.

While some cancers are declining thanks to prevention efforts, experts warn aging populations, rising obesity rates and other risk factors will place unprecedented pressure on health-care systems around the world.

“We need to focus attention on what some people are calling the cancer tsunami,” said Dr. Peter Stotland, chief of surgery and a surgical oncologist at North York General Hospital.

Stotland told Global News the findings mirror what doctors are already seeing in Canada.

“We’re seeing just higher numbers of people coming in with cancer,” he said, pointing to an aging population that is expected to drive increases in lung, prostate and colorectal cancers.

“I think it’s shocking because this is something that we’re seeing on a regional, provincial level and a national level,” he said.

At the same time, doctors are also seeing more young people diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

“We can be seeing two spikes… one in older people and another in younger people with cancer,” he said. “That’s going to put a lot of stress on the health-care system.”

Outrage after woke NYC mayor publishes map of ethnic neighborhoods that ERASES iconic Little Italy and much-loved ‘Little Ireland’

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has ignited a firestorm after releasing a map of immigrant enclaves that excluded the city’s Little Italy and historic Little Ireland neighborhoods.

The democratic socialist’s office unveiled a map identifying 30 immigrant enclaves across the Big Apple’s five boroughs, including Koreatown, Little Palestine in Brooklyn, Little Bangladesh in Queens and Little Africa in Staten Island. 

Little Italy, the iconic stretch around Mulberry Street and long considered one of Manhattan’s most recognizable neighborhoods, was missing from the design.

Furious replies followed, with one X comment reading: ‘This aggression will not stand, man. New York isn’t New York without the Italian heritage that brought it to life and BUILT IT.’

‘Pissing off the Italians in New York may just be the dumbest thing he’s done yet,’ another said.

A third critic wrote: ‘Has he not seen The Sopranos? What the hell is he thinking?’ 

Also absent was Little Ireland, the tiny Irish enclave spanning across Woodlawn and Yonkers, where Gaelic football jerseys are as much a part of daily life as Yankees caps.

‘The Irish also built it. Just saying. Mamdani is scum,’ one comment added.

The map, reportedly released in May and sourced from the New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, pinpoints three dozen immigrant neighborhoods and the subway lines serving each one, according to JNS News.

A City Hall spokesman told the New York Post that it was designed to help tourists explore the Big Apple’s vibrant cultural communities, but acknowledged it was not a complete list of ‘all the rich diversity across the city.’ 

But the map was thrust back into the spotlight Wednesday after writer Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt resurfaced it on X.

‘The Mayor’s Office made a map of NYC’s immigrant enclaves: Little Africa, Little Poland, Little Palestine,’ Chizhik-Goldschmidt wrote.

‘But they just couldn’t figure out how to represent 11 percent of the city,’ she added. ‘Couldn’t decipher where the Jews are from.’

‘Huge riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.’

Italian-Americans slammed Mamdani for leaving out the city’s ‘original Little,’ where generations of Italian immigrants first put down roots in the late 19th century. 

At its peak, the community housed about 10,000 Italian immigrants escaping severe poverty, failed crops and natural disasters – the majority coming from Southern Italy and Sicily.

Florida mayor’s arrogant answer when asked why he was illegally driving around in a POLICE CAR with flashing blue lights

A Florida mayor was caught illegally driving a police car and using its flashing blue lights for a VIP traffic experience.  

Newly released body camera footage shows Hialeah Mayor Bryan Calvo, 28, being pulled over by a Miami police officer, after Calvo allegedly made an improper left turn in Coconut Grove, Miami at 11.30am on June 14.

But what began as a routine traffic stop quickly escalated when officer Yasmani Gonzalez noticed the black Chevrolet SUV Calvo was driving was fitted with flashing red and blue police lights.

‘Is this a police car? Is this your personal?’ the officer interrogates in the footage.

‘I’m an elected official,’ retorted Calvo, whose mayorship is non-partisan.

The response did little to impress the officer.

‘You turned on your police lights,’ the officer told him. ‘That’s a criminal offense, and I can easily take you to jail.’

The tense roadside exchange continued as the officer delivered a reminder that holding an elected office position does not entitle him to lawless behavior.

‘I don’t care if you’re the mayor,’ Gonzalez slammed. ‘If you’re not a police officer, don’t activate police lights.’

The officer then warned Calvo that he was driving a police vehicle despite not being a sworn law enforcement officer. 

Gonzalez proceeded to threaten jail time, saying, ‘that right there could be a third-degree felony.’

However rather than making an arrest, the officer issued Calvo two citations – one for the improper left turn and another for having prohibited emergency lights on the vehicle. 

Court records show the mayor has pleaded not guilty to both violations. It also remains unclear whether Calvo is still driving the SUV.

The footage has also launched fresh questions over why the city’s mayor was driving a police-issued SUV equipped with functioning emergency lights.

Florida law generally limits the use of blue lights to authorized emergency vehicles and does not provide a specific exemption for mayors. Although municipalities may authorize rare vehicle assignments or equipment for operational purposes, local policies do not supersede state law.

Driving a city vehicle equipped with police-style equipment could be interpreted as the impersonation of a police officer, even if emergency lights were not activated and is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

NASA reveals it has captured UFO imagery as space agency chief admits ‘there’s life everywhere’

NASA‘s chief administrator confirmed in a bombshell interview that the space agency has taken images of objects which can only be described as UFOs. 

Jared Isaacman, who took over as leader of NASA in December 2025, said real imagery captured from space could not be explained away as a comet or other natural phenomenon.

While Isaacman stopped short of calling it proof of alien life, he was confident that the ultimate conclusion would be that the universe is full of extraterrestrial life, which humans have not yet discovered.

The NASA Administrator told podcast host Jack Gordon: ‘We have captured imagery, and this is what President Trump is very forward-leaning about, that based on the data that we have within that imagery, we don’t know what it is.’

‘I think there’s a very real possibility we’re going to arrive at a conclusion in our lifetime that perhaps there’s life everywhere out there and that it isn’t as infrequent as we might think it to possibly be,’ he continued.

While Isaacman admitted the space agency was in possession of photos that appear to show unexplainable things near Earth, he added that he has never seen evidence of crashed UFOs or alien bodies recovered by the US government.

NASA has long maintained that it does not possess or maintain evidence any alien life or bodies, just as the White House and Pentagon have continuously stated that there is no physical proof.

However, Isaacman noted that NASA may already have the proof in its possession, but that evidence is currently stuck on Mars – roughly 200 million miles away right now.

‘We got samples on Mars right now. If we bring them back, there is a very high probability that they will point to, at some point, microbial life at least on Mars,’ he said during the June 30 interview with Gordon.

NASA had previously announced the discovery of ancient microbial life on the Red Planet last September, but the mission to collect those samples from the Perseverance rover was dropped from NASA’s Mars plans over funding issues.

The comments follow President Donald Trump’s order to disclose all files related to UFOs.

Thousands of pages of NASA records, audio interviews and photos have been released as part of the Pentagon’s disclosure rollout this year, but nothing to this point has provided definitive proof of life on other worlds. 

Isaacman was appointed to run NASA just before Congress approved a new budget, supported by President Donald Trump, which focused on sending a manned mission to Mars by the end of the decade.

The NASA administrator, who is a self-made billionaire entrepreneur, accomplished pilot and civilian astronaut who went into orbit with SpaceX, added that UFOs have been a key focus behind NASA’s renewed push to explore the solar system.

‘I can’t hate the subject. In fact, I’m incredibly fascinated about it because that is at the heart of what we’re trying to do at NASA – answer the question, are we alone?’

Despite saying that the universe is likely teeming with life, Isaacman pushed back when asked if humans would therefore be ‘invading’ other worlds by continuing to explore space now and in the distant future.

Canadian court says deaf man, 34, accused of child sex offenses is free to rape and murder because he has never been taught to communicate and thus cannot fairly be tried

A deaf man who was never taught to communicate cannot be fairly tried in court over accusations of child sex offences because it would violate his rights, a Canadian court says. 

Kendal Longclaws, 34, faced eight sexual offences after three complaints in 2021, but his inability to communicate spared him from trial and possible prosecution. 

Longclaws, of the Ermineskin Cree Nation, south of Edmonton, grew up on an isolated farm. He was left unable to read, use a phone, understand a calendar or utter more than a few words.

When he was accused of sexual crimes, including sexual interference and sexual assault, he was unaware of what was happening, the National Post reported. 

Two of his alleged victims were said to have been attacked between 2012 and 2016, with the third in 2021. Some of Longclaws’ alleged victims were children, according to the outlet. 

Due to his inability to communicate and understand his charges, the courts in Alberta ruled that prosecution or even a mental fitness assessment would violate his charter rights. 

In 2025, King’s Bench Justice Debra Yungwirth halted the only attempt to give Longclaws a trial before it began, stating that the case could not be legally handled. 

Yungwirth noted several reasons, including Longclaws need for an interpreter – but as he couldn’t understand English, and spoke no actual language, it would be impossible to communicate to him and honor this Charter right, the Post reported.

Deadly bacteria found in major US city’s wastewater system tied to Mark Zuckerberg’s $800m data center

Meta‘s massive AI data center in Wyoming is facing scrutiny after an unexpected contamination incident emerged during construction.

The Mark Zuckerberg-owned company is developing a 715,000sq ft campus in Cheyenne that is set to go online next year, but its contractor has come under fire after city officials traced wastewater containing a rare bacterium to the project.

Known as Cupriavidus gilardii, the naturally occurring bacterium is typically found in soil and water. While harmless to most healthy people, it can cause severe pneumonia, bloodstream and lung infections, and, in rare cases, death among people with weakened immune systems. 

Cheyenne’s Board of Public Utilities (BOPU) said the bacterium was found in wastewater discharged by Goat Systems, a contractor working on Meta’s $800 million data center. 

According to the BOPU, the bacterium was first detected during routine wastewater sampling in late February, but was only announced last Thursday.

Meta said its general contractor, Fortis, began hauling industrial wastewater offsite and that independent testing found no trace of the substance to date.

Officials stressed that it did not contaminate the city’s drinking water, but said it disrupted the municipal reclaimed water system and required months of cleanup. 

However, the city permanently revoked Meta’s authorization to discharge wastewater from its fill-and-flush operations into Cheyenne’s treatment system, where the water is recycled and later used to irrigate parks and other public spaces. 

A Meta spokesman told the Daily Mail: ‘When the board shared that it found a substance in the city’s wastewater – not public drinking water – Fortis immediately stopped discharging industrial wastewater and began hauling it offsite.

‘Fortis also began its own water testing with an independent environmental specialist, which has found no trace of the substance. 

‘Meta is committed to being a good neighbor in Cheyenne, including through the protection of local water resources, and will continue encouraging collaboration between Fortis and the board until this situation is resolved.’

It comes as AI data centers face mounting scrutiny across the US for their enormous demands on local water and power supplies. 

According to Data Center Map, there are nearly 4,500 data centers nationwide, with some facilities consuming as much as 300,000 gallons of water a day, roughly the same amount used by 1,000 households.

Goat Systems LLC is the corporate entity Meta uses for the construction of the center, dubbed Project Cosmo.

Officials said the contaminated wastewater was discharged during a fill-and-flush process used to prepare the data center’s cooling system before it goes online.

Shock Report: Macron and France Were Prepared for ‘War’ with America After Maduro Raid

French President Emmanuel Macron said his country was willing to engage in a “shooting war” with the U.S. earlier this year, according to a report.

The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Macron made the decision earlier this year after American forces carried out a precision strike in Venezuela that led to the arrest of former dictator Nicolas Maduro.

The French president reportedly made comments about fighting Americans over Greenland, the desolate Danish island that could prove crucial to keeping non-NATO powers out of the North Atlantic.

With President Donald Trump expressing his desire to acquire the island as a territory for the U.S., coupled with the success of the raid to capture Maduro for drug crimes, Macron reportedly was prepared to fight one of his country’s oldest allies — an ally that twice saved it from German aggression in the last century.

In a report with multiple authors, the Journal reported:

It was almost midnight in Brussels and the leaders of Europe were locked in their fifth hour of an emergency meeting with a single theme for discussion: how to manage a breakup with America.

The new year was only three weeks old and President Trump, after removing Venezuela’s autocratic strongman, had briefly threatened to seize Greenland from Denmark. Around a circular table in the European Council headquarters known as “The Space Egg,” heads of government were venting so emotionally about the 47th president that some of the nearly 30 leaders present would later call the session “therapy night.”

In a room where no phones or recording devices were permitted, Macron reportedly said, “We are drawing a line here.”
