Here is a poem i wrote.

In the echoes of the past, where memories reside, lurks a shadowed figure, with secrets to hide. Once a friend, now a ghostly trace, obsessed with the past, lost in the chase.

Eyes that once sparkled with genuine light, now glint with a madness, hidden from sight. She whispers tales spun from deceit, A web of lies, tangled and neat.

Her laughter, once warm, now carries a chill, a haunting melody, a twisted thrill. She clings to the echoes of days gone by, Her heart a labyrinth of a fractured lie.

In the corners of her mind, old friendships bloom, but reality fades, consumed by gloom. She watches from afar, a silent plea, yearning for a past that can never be.

Unhinged and restless, she roams the night, a phantom of memories, lost from sight. Her obsession a prison, her lies a chain, In the shadows of the past, she remains.

The threads of deceit, once tightly spun, begin to fray, one by one. Truth emerges, stark and bare, A mirror reflecting her deepest despair.

Friends she once held in her tangled snare, now see the truth, laid out there. The trust she shattered, the bonds she broke, Rise like ghosts, in the words they spoke.

Her world, once crafted from fragile lies, falls apart before her eyes. The whispers grow louder, the shadows retreat, Leaving her alone, in her own defeat.

No longer hidden, her secrets exposed, the mask she wore, forever deposed. In the silence that follows, she stands alone, A queen dethroned, without a throne.

Yet in the ruins, a chance to mend, to seek forgiveness, to make amends. For in the light of truth, she may find, A path to heal, a peace of mind.

Albert Einstein: Love, Espionage, and Lessons Beyond the Grave.

Albert Einstein was born on the 14th of March 1879 in Germany to a Jewish family. His father Hermann was a salesman and engineer. Along with his brother Jakob, he founded a company in Munich that was involved in the mass production of electrical equipment, which was quite innovative at the time.

Albert Einstein is famous for his Theory of Relativity, which fundamentally changed our understanding of physics. E = mc2 comes from his theory, expresses the idea that energy (E) and mass (m) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing. This equation shows that a small amount of mass can be converted into a large amount of energy, which is the principle behind nuclear energy.

Einstein had a fat head at the time he was born, which initially worried his mother and grandmother. However, his head size normalized as he grew.

He did not speak until the age of three. Despite this, he went on to become one of the most influential scientists in history. Now this phenomenon is sometimes referred to as “Einstein Syndrome,” where children exhibit delayed speech but later show exceptional abilities in various areas.

The parietal lobe in Einstein’s brain was 15% larger than that of an average brain. This region of the brain is associated with mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and movement. Additionally, Einstein’s brain lacked a groove known as the Sylvian fissure, which may have allowed for more connections between neurons in this area.

It’s fascinating how these unique features might have contributed to his extraordinary cognitive abilities.

He never wore socks. He found them unnecessary and even wrote about it in letters to friends and family. He mentioned that his big toe would always end up making a hole in his socks, so he decided to stop wearing them altogether. He even managed to avoid wearing socks on formal occasions by wearing high boots to cover up the lack of socks.

He never learned to swim; nevertheless, he loved sailing. He enjoyed spending time on the water and often took a boat out onto a lake to relax and think, but he always stayed on the boat.

He had a poor memory. He often forgot dates, names, and even his own phone number. Despite his incredible intellect and groundbreaking contributions to science, he struggled with everyday details. One of his teachers even remarked that he had a "memory like a sieve".

Although some of Einstein's teachers found him challenging because of his independent thinking and inquisitive nature, he excelled in subjects he was passionate about, especially mathematics and physics.

His academic path was not without challenges though, particularly in subjects such as languages and biology where he did not perform as well. Nonetheless, his grades were mostly above average, and he demonstrated remarkable aptitude in areas that captured his interest.

He was an exceptional musician, skilled as a violinist and pianist. Einstein started playing the violin at six and maintained this passion throughout his life. He harbored a profound appreciation for classical music, especially the compositions of Mozart and Bach.

Einstein often said that music helped him think and relax. He even mentioned that if he hadn’t been a physicist, he would have been a musician. His passion for music was so strong that he once said, "Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music".

His first wife was Mileva Marić, a Serbian mathematician whom he met while they were both students at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich. They married in 1903 and had two sons, Hans Albert and Eduard.

Some say Maric might have co-authored his 1905 Relativity Paper. In the 1980's, American physicist Evan Walker Harris published an article in Physics Today claiming that Einstein first wife, Mileva Maric, was one of many coauthors of his 1905 paper on special relativity.

Most physicists and historians of science have rejected it.

After Einstein’s death in 1955, Soviet physicist Abram Fedorovich Joffe described some correspondence he had with Einstein early in their careers in a article published in Russian.

He had asked Einstein for a prints of some of his papers and wrote: “The author of these articles Einstein-Marity” 

A popular Russian science writer called Daniil Semenvich Danin, interpreted Joffe’s account to mean that Einstein and Maric collaborated on the work. 

Einstein’s letters are full of his ideas about physics.

Maric’s contain none and she was not a talented physicist or mathematician. She failed her final examinations and was never granted a diploma.

Maric and Einstein divorced in 1919, but as part of the divorce settlement, Einstein agreed to pay his ex-wife all of any future Nobel Prize he might be awarded. That is another reason why people think she might have been a co-author.

His second wife Elsa Löwenthal was his cousin. Elsa was his first cousin on his mother’s side and his second cousin on his father’s side. They began their relationship in 1912 while he was still married to Marić. They married in 1919 after Einstein’s divorce from Mileva. Elsa was a significant support to Einstein, especially during his health issues, and they remained married until her death in 1936.

Hitler considered him public enemy number one. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime considered Albert Einstein a significant threat. Einstein was a prominent Jewish intellectual and a vocal critic of the Nazis. When Hitler came to power in 1933, Einstein was in the United States and decided not to return to Germany due to the rising anti-Semitism and the dangerous political climate.

The Nazis targeted Einstein’s work and reputation, labeling his theories as “Jewish physics” and attempting to discredit him. They even placed a bounty on his head, making him a public enemy. Despite these threats, Einstein continued to speak out against the regime and supported efforts to help Jewish refugees escape from Europe.

In 1921 Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. However, he actually received the award in 1922. The Nobel Prize was awarded to him "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". This discovery was crucial in the development of quantum theory and had significant implications for the understanding of light and energy.

He became a strong advocate for nuclear disarmament after witnessing the devastating effects of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was deeply concerned about the potential for future nuclear wars and the annihilation of humanity.

In the last decade of his life, Einstein dedicated himself to promoting peace and international cooperation. He frequently spoke out against the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He believed that the only way to ensure global security was through the elimination of nuclear weapons.

Supporter of civil rights. After moving to the United States in 1933, he became increasingly aware of the racial segregation and discrimination faced by African Americans. He actively spoke out against racism and worked with several civil rights organizations.

Einstein was a member of the NAACP and developed a close friendship with civil rights leader W.E.B. Du Bois. He also supported the campaign to defend the Scottsboro Boys, nine African American teenagers falsely accused of rape in Alabama. In 1946, he gave a speech at Lincoln University, a historically black university, where he called racism "a disease of white people".

The FBI spied on Albert Einstein. They kept him under surveillance from the moment he entered the United States in 1933 until his death in 1955. The FBI, led by J. Edgar Hoover was suspicious of Einstein’s political views and his advocacy for peace, civil rights, and Zionism. They amassed a file of over 1,400 pages on him, which included wiretaps, mail interceptions, and even searches of his trash23.

Einstein’s outspoken nature and his connections with various political and social movements made him a target during a time of heightened paranoia about communism and espionage.

Einstein was a genius when it came to science, but love was a different matter. Unbeknownst to Einstein the woman he had an affair with was a Russian spy.  

Margarita Ivanovna (Vorontsova) Konenkova was born in 1895, in the remote Russian town of Sarapul. As a young woman she moved to Moscow and enrolled in law courses. She was associated with Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff and famous opera singer Feodor Chaliapin. In Moscow she met her husband, Sergei Konenkov “the Russian Rodin". Sergei was already a famous sculptor. In 1923 the couple traveled together to the United States, where Margarita became socialite, attending numerous balls and social events, while Konenkov continued creating art.

In 1935, Sergei was commissioned to make a bust of Albert Einstein for Princeton University. The couple met Einstein just before the work begun. Sergei visited Princeton only a few times to talk over the plans for the project, while Margarita became a frequent visitor. After Einstein's second wife Elsa died in 1936, Einstein and Margarita's relationship became more friendly. Einstein even persuaded Sergei to send Margarita over to his cottage at Saranac Lake by writing a letter stating that she was ill and needed to spend time in a good climate to get well. He even attached a fake doctor’s certificate. Each year she spent several months living with Einstein next to Saranac while her husband Sergei worked in Chicago. The scientist even came up with the name “Almar” (Albert-Margarita).

According to Pavel Sudoplatov, an intelligence general for Joseph Stalin, Margarita was indispensable in terms of spying on America’s nuclear program. Margarita's mission was to find out about the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan project's goal was to produce the first nuclear weapons. She successfully infiltrated the Princeton science circle where besides becoming close to Einstein, Magarita also befriends Robert Oppenheimer, one of the "fathers" of the atomic bomb. She talked Oppenheimer into hiring people known for their leftist views,

Einstein met with Pavel Mikhailov , the USSR consul who worked for the Soviet army intelligence, a few times as a favor for Margarita. He knew that her future in the USSR depended on this meeting. 

Konenkovs came back to Moscow in 1946 they were provided for by the government.

The relationship between Einstein and Margarita was revealed through a series of letters he wrote to her. These letters, which surfaced many years later, are now preserved by the Library of Congress and demonstrate the profound affection and bond they shared.

Einstein presented Margarita with a gold watch as a parting gift when she and her husband departed the United States following World War II.

Einstein was offered and declined the opportunity to become president of Israel after the death of its first president in 1952. Einstein declined the presidency citing his inexperience in politics and his advanced age as reasons. He believed he was not fit for the role, expressing that he lacked the inherent skill and experience required to engage politically with people.

Einstein died on April 18th, 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey at the age of 76 from an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Despite his declining health, he continued to work on his scientific theories until his final days.

After his death his eyes were removed during an autopsy conducted by pathologist Thomas Harvey. They were given to Einstein’s eye doctor, Henry Abrams. They are now kept in a safety deposit box in New York City

His brain was stolen after his death. The pathologist who performed his autopsy, Dr. Thomas Harvey, removed Einstein’s brain without permission. Harvey took the brain for scientific study, hoping to uncover the secrets behind Einstein’s genius.

Harvey preserved the brain in celloidin and kept it for many years, even cutting it into 240 pieces and distributing some of these pieces to other researchers.

Einstein’s legacy continues to influence and inspire scientists and thinkers around the world and even after his death Einstein is teaching us new things.

Einstein's theory of relativity has enabled scientists to discover a planet three times the size of Jupiter. The planet, KELT-9b, is hotter than most stars. Techniques based on Einstein’s theory, such as gravitational microlensing and relativistic beaming, made this discovery possible.

The General Theory of Relativity describes how the gravity of stars can bend light waves, an effect that can expose otherwise hidden planets.

This theory has aided in the discovery of a massive exoplanet named MOA-2016-BLG-227Lb.

MOA-2016-BLG-227Lb is a super-Jupiter mass planet orbiting a star in the Galactic bulge, located 21,000 light years from Earth.

International researchers, including teams from the U.S., Israel, and Japan, employed gravitational microlensing to detect the way light bends around the planet.

Was Stephen Hawking Albert Einstein?

Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein having such striking similarities in their lives. This makes some people think that Albert was reincarnated as Stephen Hawking. You be the judge.

They both had neurological disorders. Hawking was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). ALS is a neuro-degenerative disease that slowly erodes nerves that control voluntary movement.

So he really couldn't move as the disease progressed and that is why he was wheelchair-bound for most of his life. 

Einstein suffered from a mild case of Asperger’s syndrome, a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, as well as attention deficit disorder (ADD). This means he had he didn't know what to do or how to act towards others sometimes and he had a hard time concentrating.

They both were married twice. Einstein divorced his first wife Mileva Maric to marry Elsa Lowenthal. They were together until she passed away. Hawking divorced his wife of 30 years, Jane Wilde, to marry Elaine Mason. He eventually divorced her too.

They both were fascinated by the universe and time travel. Einstein looked at things from a relativistic point of view while Hawking focused more on quantum physics.

They both thought that their own ideas were stupid. Einstein thought that one of his biggest mistakes was the cosmological constant he introduced into equations for general relativity. Hawking thought his was the “information loss” in black holes.

Both of them became famous.

They both had a good sense of humor. Einstein claimed that humor powered his brilliant intellect. On his 72nd birthday a photographer asked him to smile, so he stuck out his tongue. He was known for his childlike sense of humor. Hawking was known for his amazing one liner's that had intelligence to them.

Both Einstein and Hawking passed away when they were 76 years old. 

Was Einstein part of the Illuminati?

Some believe Einstein was a member of the Illuminati. While there is no clear connection to the Illuminati, it has been reported that Einstein visited Bohemian Grove.

What Is a Dark Empath?

A dark empath is someone who possesses a high level of cognitive empathy but uses it for manipulative purposes.

Some of the common manipulative purposes are:

Guilt-Tripping: They might make you feel guilty for not meeting their expectations or for perceived wrongdoings, even if you haven’t done anything wrong.

Flattery and Charm: They use excessive flattery and charm to win your trust and make you more susceptible to their influence.

Emotional Appeals: They can skillfully use emotional appeals to sway your decisions and actions in their favor.

Exploiting Vulnerabilities: By understanding your fears, insecurities, and desires, they can exploit these vulnerabilities to control or manipulate you.

Gaslighting: They might distort reality to make you doubt your own perceptions and judgments, thereby gaining more control over you.

Playing the Victim: They often portray themselves as the victim to elicit sympathy and manipulate others into supporting them.

Typical empaths feel and respond to others’ emotions with compassion, while dark empaths understand others’ feelings and perspectives but exploit this understanding for personal gain.

The personal gains that a dark empath may obtain are:

Power and Control: By manipulating others, dark empaths can exert power and control over their environment and the people in it.

Validation and Ego Boost: They often seek validation and an ego boost by making others dependent on them or by demonstrating their ability to influence others.

Personal Gain: This can include financial benefits, career advancement, or social status. They might use their manipulative skills to climb the social or professional ladder.

Emotional Fulfillment: Some dark empaths derive a sense of fulfillment or satisfaction from seeing others react to their manipulations, feeding their need for dominance.

Avoiding Vulnerability: By focusing on manipulating others, they can avoid dealing with their own vulnerabilities and insecurities.

Here are some key traits and behaviors of dark empaths:

Cognitive Empathy: They can recognize and understand others’ emotions without necessarily feeling them.

Manipulation: They use their empathetic skills to manipulate and control others.

Dark Triad Traits: They often exhibit traits associated with...
Narcissism- excessive preoccupation with oneself and one’s own needs, often at the expense of others.
Psychopathy- a persistent pattern of antisocial, impulsive, and manipulative behavior, often accompanied by a lack of empathy and remorse.
Machiavellianism- cunning, scheming, and unscrupulous behavior, especially in politics or in the pursuit of power.

Emotional Distance: Despite their ability to understand emotions, they maintain an emotional detachment.

Dark empaths can be particularly dangerous because their empathy makes them adept at identifying and exploiting others’ vulnerabilities.

Have you seen Brian Bleyl who went missing on his paper route in Arizona on February 28th, 1981?

This is what he might look like today. Here is his story https://darkmatter69.blogspot.com/2023/01/paperboy-brian-bleyl-went-missing-on.html Don't forget to check out the video i did about him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjwxvw0qf4A&t=0s 

Feds Arrest 3-year-old Da'Shawn McCormick's Father and Stepmother, But He Is No Where to Be Found!

“Dashawn, if I could see you today, I would wrap my arms around you and sing ‘Happy Birthday’ … Dashawn, I want you to know that I love you very, very much and I will never give up hope until you come home. Your brothers, sister, and I pray every night that you are safe and holding strong. We love you and miss, you Dashawn.” ~Jasmine McCormick

Da'Shawn was described as being like no other. He was the happiest kid you could ever know and could brighten up the whole room with that gorgeous smile of his. Even on his bad days he never once showed how bad he was feeling and always kept a smile on that face. He was always laughing and playing with his siblings and his mom. He also loved to play with his Nana and went everywhere with her. At night, he would entwine his fingers in her hair, ensuring that if she went anywhere, she wouldn't go without him. He was the most loving and caring child you could ever know. If you were feeling down, he would go out of his way to bring a smile to your face and lift your spirits. He was understanding and very loving. He loved going to the park and he loved to play in the snow.

Da’Shawn Leon McCormick was born on August 17th, 2007, to Floyd LeRoy Lee Jr and Jasmine McCormick.

Da'Shawn was 4 when Jasmine last saw him in Anchorage in March of 2012.That was the moment she departed from Lee, taking her three other children with her but leaving Da'Shawn behind due to Lee having full custody at that time. Jasmine characterized Lee as abusive and stated that she departed due to fear for her life. 

Jasmine is quoted as saying “I had to make the choice to stay and die or lose a child and leave and get the other children out of there. I wanted to take Da'Shawn with me, but I would’ve been put in prison."

Jasimine said that she last spoke to Da’Shawn in June 2012. Judy Holmes, Da'Shawn’s step-grandmother said that the last time she saw him was on July 4th, 2012. After that, whenever her grandchildren came to visit her, Da’Shawn wasn’t among them. 

Mary Transki

On April 1st, 2013, FBI agents arrived at the residence shared by Lee and Da'Shawn's stepmother, Mary Elizabeth Transki, and arrested them for securities fraud and mail fraud. Both were convicted; Lee received a 37-month sentence, and Transki was sentenced to 21 months in prison. They served their sentences and were subsequently released. At the time of Lee and Transki's arrest, Da'Shawn was nowhere to be found.

After the arrest of Lee and Transki, a witness came forward alleging that Transki had admitted to murdering Da'Shawn and burying the body on her property. Nonetheless, when interrogated by the authorities, Transki refuted the occurrence of such an event. Meanwhile, Lee has remained silent regarding the whereabouts of Da'Shawn.

Jasmine petitioned a Palmer court to gain custody of Da'Shawn, which was granted in December 2013. She lives in Alabama and is awaiting his return. She hopes that he was given to another family before Lee and Transki's arrests.

“Continue to pray for my son. If you know anything, please come forward. I know there are people who have information about this case but won't come forward for their safety. I just want to know what happened to him.” ~Jasimine McCormick

Da’Shawn may be in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough area. The circumstances of his disappearance are unclear, and his case remains unsolved.

At the time if his disappearance Da'Shawn was 4 years old biracial (African American/Caucasian) male. He was 3ft 6in tall, 45 lbs. with blonde hair and brown eyes.

He had a U-shaped scar in the center of his forehead and a burn scar on his left thigh.

As of this post Da'Shawn would be 16 years old and may resemble this composite.

If you have any information regarding Da'Shawn's whereabouts, no matter how small, please contact the Anchorage Police Department at 907-786-8500 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 800-843-5678.

Underground Pyramid in Alaska?

       

On May 22, 1992, scientists studying shockwaves from a Chinese underground nuclear test in Lop Nur recorded a grainy, pyramid-shaped spot of interference twice as large as Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza. Researchers believe that this anomaly below Alaska's Mt. Denali is an artificial structure made of black stone. The top of this 550 feet tall "Dark Pyramid" is said to be 150 feet below ground.

The area was reportedly off-limits throughout the Cold War era possibly do to the fact that Alaska was on the front lines.

Retired U.S. Army Counterintelligence agent Doug Mutschler first attempted to bring the pyramid's existence into light on the show "Coast to Coast AM". He was also later interviewed by investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe who has spent years researching the pyramid.

Mutschler said that in the fall of 1992 he was stationed at Fort Richardson in Alaska. He was sitting in a room with some off duty soldiers when on Anchorage channel 13 broadcast a news story about then nuclear test and subsequent pyramid discovery. He said that went to the news station the next day and the manager of the station denied the story and said that he had no idea what Mutschler was talking about. On the way out a younger employee nervously ushered Mutschler over and claimed that the story was true. He said that a couple of scary guys in suites met with the station manager and confiscated everything that had to do with the story.

Mutschler was transferred the next year to Fort Meade in Maryland where there was a giant archive of top-secret government files. He found the Alaska files, but before he could read them, he was stopped by two men that said that he didn't have a need to know for that information and was told to leave.

Howe had asked from Mutschler and received his DD214, which is a certificate from the U.S. military that lists everything about the Indvidual's time in the service. Howe said that Mutschler is who he claimed to be and the timing and locations of where he was matched his record.
 
Another person that Howe has interviewed claimed that their father Marty B. Johnson worked for Western Electric and had been inside the pyramid. Johnson had told him that he had been taken on a bus with blacked out windows so he couldn't see what was outside.

When Johnson left the bus, he was in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness with a lonely shed as the only structure around. In the shed there was a large freight elevator.

Johnson and the others that he had traveled on the bus with now rode the elevator far down into the earth. When they stopped, they found themselves at typical military offices with concrete floors and only numbers on the doors.

At the end of the hallway was a15 feet tall steel door wide enough to drive a car through. The door opened and inside was a giant cavern. The military officer that was their guide then announced, "Gentlemen welcome to the dark pyramid."

Johnson told his son that he didn't know if the pyramid was of extraterrestrial origin, but he did say that it was technology way beyond anything he had ever seen. He said that there were control rooms at each corner. These control rooms measured the energy immitted from the pyramid.

Johnson said that his father made a small replica of the pyramid made out of aluminum. He ran a small voltage through the pyramid and the energy was magnified and produced more than enough electricity to power their whole farm.

Another person that came forward was Bruce L. Pearson. He said that his dad Lee had joined the Navy right after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and served on torpedo boat 492 during World War II.

In the 1970's the retired Navy veteran and his family moved to Alaska where Lee and his wife became schoolteachers. Bruce said that Lee then met a U.S. Airforce piolet, and they exchanged war stories. He then asked Lee if he wanted to ride with him on a classified delivery mission near Denali. 

When Lee got on board, he was informed that it was some weird underground power generating installation. Lee asked if it was nuclear. The co-piolet said that it was nothing that "they built." It was thousands of years old and shaped like a pyramid and that they didn't know where it came from. He said that it generates enough power to power the whole state of Alaska as well as the whole country of Canada.

When they got about 5 miles from their destination Lee was told that the helicopter's instruments were going to go crazy and not to panic and that they were going to just keep the ground in site to make sure they didn't hit any obstacles. Lee said that a couple of moments later everything on board the helicopter went crazy and then went dark.

When they touched down and the ground crew began refueling them with the engine still running. Lee had told Bruce that there had been a small couple of guard houses with towers as well as two freight elevators. Boxes of equipment were piled here and there and there was electric razor wire everywhere. Overhead a C130 was flying circles. Six men in plain black uniforms unloaded three heavy cases while heavily armed men in the distance had guns as well as jeeps with a 50-caliber machine gun pointed at the plane.

In about 4 minutes Lee and the piolets were on the helicopter and headed back. Once they were back at the airport they went to a bar where Lee had asked them what he seen was all about. The piolet told him that the place was more secure than the Manhattan Project and that nobody is supposed to know that it exists. He said that it was a giant underground pyramid made of what it is thought to be black stone. It is 10's of thousands of years old and that there have been engineers working there since the 1950's.

On June 13th, 2020, Nathan Campbell had someone fly him into Denali National Park in Alaska and dropped him off near Carey Lake, which was just few miles from what was thought to be the Pyramid's location. He had told the piolet to pick him up a couple of months later in the same location he was dropped off at. He had fishing gear, a couple of totes of food, and a big backpack. He also claimed he had a Garmin InReach satellite communication in case he needed to call for help and GPS tracking device. Campbell was never seen of or heard from ever again.

A search turned up the supplies Campbell had cached at Carey Lake, and a few miles away, a collapsed tent. Inside the tent was Campbell's diary, which appeared to have been chewed on by rodents. The last entry said Campbell had left his campsite to get water. There is no other sign of him.

Do you think the Dark Pyramid is real? Do you think it was built by aliens? What happened to Nathan Campbell?

Rust Shooting Recap Day Two

Day two of the involuntary manslaughter trial of actor Alec Baldwin in Santa Fe County, New Mexico had the actor walk out of the courtroom after the prosecution accused him lying about not pulling the trigger.

We also heard how live rounds were discovered mixed with dummy bullets in various locations, including a prop cart, a munition box, and gun holsters for two actors. How those live rounds got on set was never discovered, but some have theorized that there had been target practice with live rounds on the set.

Baldwin’s defense cross-examined the crime scene technician, Marissa Poppell, about the damage caused by forensic analysis of the gun. Although the firearm was broken during testing by the FBI, it could likely be fixed with replacement parts but not restored to its original condition when the tragic incident occurred.

For day three of the trial the lead detective Cpl. Alexandria Hancock to be back on the stand. Handcock didn't become the chief investigator until two weeks after the October 2021 shooting, but she conducted the first interviews of Baldwin, “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and assistant director David Halls.

Reed's attorney said they have been informed prosecutors will try to call her to testify however, it is expected that Reed will assert her Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination if she is called because she has an appeal of her conviction pending.

If convicted Baldwin could face up to a year and a half in prison for a charge of involuntary manslaughter for his role in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Rust Shooting Recap Day One.

The Rust shooting trial involves actor Alec Baldwin who faces involuntary manslaughter charges in New Mexico for a deadly incident which occurred on October 21, 2021, during the filming of the movie Rust. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins tragically lost her life, and the film’s director, Joel Souza, was injured.

The incident occurred when Baldwin was holding a real gun with presumed dummy rounds, which are completely inert and contain no primer, propellant, or explosive charge. Baldwin claims that he never pulled the trigger and that the gun malfunctioned. 

The prosecution in their opening statements said that several tests were done by the FBI that proved the gun was in working order. There is also video evidence that allegedly shows Baldwin not listening to direction and placing his had near and on the trigger time and time again, the last time him actually pulling it.

Alec is accused by the prosecution of playing make believe with a real gun and not following safety protocols.

If convicted Baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison.

The movie’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was also went to trial for the same charges and was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the incident.

Reed like many of the people working on set, was inexperienced and didn't check the gun properly with a live round ending up in the gun. That live round was what exited the gun and ended up killing Hutchins.

The judge’s decision to exclude Alec Baldwin’s role as a producer from the trial will most likely affect the outcome. As a producer, Baldwin is legally responsible for what happens on the set.

Breaking Barriers: The Inspiring Journey of Helen Keller.

"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow." ~Helen Keller

Helen Adams Keller was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. She was also blind and deaf. 

Born on June 27th, 1880, in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, Helen started speaking when she was just 6 months old and started walking at the age of 1. Sadly, Helen lost her sight and her hearing after contracting "brain fever" when she was only 19 months old. 

By the time Helen was seven years old, she and Martha Washington, the family cook's daughter, had developed a type of sign language. During this time Helen was very frustrated and became unruly. She tormented Martha and inflicted raging tantrums on her parents leaving many relatives to feel that she should be institutionalized. 

Desperate to help her, her parents sought the advice of Alexander Grahm Bell, who was working with deaf children at the time. Bell suggested the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston. While at the institute, it was suggested that the family work with one of the institute's most recent graduates at the time, Joanna Mansfield Sullivan. Sullivan had graduated head of her class, was an experienced teacher and was partially visually impaired. 

On March 3, 1887, Sullivan arrived at Helen's home in Alabama and began teaching with love and patience. She spelled the world "Doll" in Helen's hand in attempts to associate it with the doll she had brought the child as a present.

Initially, Helen was curious but soon became defiant and uncooperative. Sullivan noticed Helen failed to associate the objects with the letters spelled in her hand. Despite this, Sullivan persisted, and continued to guide Helen.

As Helen's frustration escalated and her tantrums became more frequent, Sullivan insisted that she and Helen be separated from the family for a period to ensure that Helen could focus solely on her teachings. Consequently, they relocated to a cottage on the plantation.

Sullivan introduced the word "water" to Helen by guiding her to a water pump and placing her hand under the spout. As Sullivan pumped the cool water over Helen's hand, she spelled out the letters w-a-t-e-r on Helen's other hand. This helped Helen make the connection between the object and the word. Helen grasped the concept and mirrored the word in Sullivan's hand. By the end of the day, she had mastered 30 words.

With Sullivan's extraordinary teachings Helen's mood improved and she learned to understand and communicate with the world around her. Helen learned to read and write in Braille and to use the hand signals, which she could understand only by touch. She also learned to use a typewriter.

Helen learned to speak with the help of Sarah Fuller using her fingers to feel Sarah's lips and throat when she spoke. Helen dedicated a significant portion of her life to delivering speeches and lectures about her experiences.

Helen studied at schools for the deaf in Boston and New York City with Sullivan repeating the lectures into her hand. At twelve she published an autobiographical sketch in the Youth’s Companion.

As Helen's story gained public attention, she started meeting notable and influential figures. Among them was the writer Mark Twain, who found her remarkable and befriended her. Twain then introduced her to his acquaintance, Henry H. Rogers, an executive at Standard Oil. Struck by Helen's abilities, ambition, and resolve, Rogers decided to finance her education at Radcliffe College which she was accepted to at just 16. 

During her junior year at Radcliffe, Helen authored her first book, "The Story of My Life," which remains available in over fifty languages. Persevering in her academic endeavors, she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in 1904 at the age of 24, becoming the first individual with deaf blindness to attain such a degree.

Shortly after her college graduation, Helen joined the Socialist Party and spoke out for women's suffrage and demanded better access to birth control. She also penned numerous articles on socialism and endorsed Eugene Debs, the Socialist Party's candidate for president. Helen emerged as a powerful advocate for the rights of individuals with disabilities and for women's rights. This also resulted in her being monitored by the FBI.

It was during this period that Helen first encountered public bias regarding her disabilities. Throughout most of her life, she had received overwhelming support from the press but once she revealed her socialist beliefs, some began to criticize her by highlighting her disabilities. The Brooklyn Eagle newspaper commented that her ""mistakes sprung out of the manifest limitations of her development."

Following her college education, she embarked on a journey to expand her understanding of the world and to explore ways she could contribute to enhancing the lives of others. Helen conveyed her experiences to various audiences and provided testimony before Congress, fervently championing the betterment of the blind community's welfare.

In 1905 Sullivan married Harvard instructor and social critic John Macy and Keller lived with them in Forest Hills, Queens.

Just before World War I, Helen Keller discovered that she could experience music through the vibrations by placing her fingertips on a resonant surface, with the help of the Zoellner Quartet.

In 1914 a young woman named Polly Thomson began working as a secretary for Helen and Sullivan.

In 1915, Helen co-founded Helen Keller International, an organization dedicated to fighting the causes and consequences of blindness and malnutrition.

In 1916 Sullivan became ill and Boston reporter Peter Fagan served as a replacement secretary. He and Hellen fell in love and wished to marry. However, it was the interference from Hellen's family, who believed that the deafblind Helen could fulfill the roles of a wife and mother, that ultimately ended the relationship.

In 1918, Helen made a silent movie in Hollywood, Deliverance, to dramatize the plight of the blind. For two year she also performed on the vaudeville stage much to Sullivan's dismay.

Helen helped found the American Civil Liberties Union in 1920.

In 1924 Helen became a member of the American Federation for the Blind and participated in many campaigns to raise awareness, money and support. She garnered significant donations from Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, and key figures in the motion picture industry. When a branch for the overseas blind, it was named Helen Keller International.

Helen also became involved with other organizations committed to aiding the underprivileged, such as the Permanent Blind War Relief Fund.

Sullivan experienced health problems and in 1932 lost her eyesight completely. In 1936 she fell into a coma as a result of coronary thrombosis and passed away with Hellen holding her hand. This is when Polly Thomson, became Helen's constant companion. Helen and Thomson moved to Connecticut. They traveled worldwide and raised funds for the blind.

Also, in 1936 Helen received the Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service Medal.

Helen offered her support to soldiers blinded during World War II.

In 1946, Helen Keller was appointed as a counselor for international relations by the American Foundation for the Overseas Blind, and she visited 35 countries across five continents.

In 1953, Helen received a nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize.

In 1955, Helen, at the age of 75, undertook a challenging journey. She covered 40,000 miles in five months, traversing Asia. Her numerous speeches and appearances provided inspiration and encouragement to millions.

In 1957, Thomson suffered a stroke from which she never fully recovered, passing away in 1960. Winnie Corbally, a nurse who was initially employed to look after Thomson, continued to stay on after her death and became Helen's companion for the remainder of her life.

Also in 1957 Helen's autobiography, "The Story of My Life," served as the inspiration for the television drama "The Miracle Worker." Later, in 1959, it was adapted into a Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play with the same name, featuring Patty Duke as Helen Keller and Anne Bancroft as her teacher, Anne Sullivan. Duke and Bancroft reprised their roles in the critically acclaimed 1962 film adaptation of the play.

In 1964 Helen received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and in 1965 was elected to the Women's Hall of Fame.

Helen was also awarded honorary doctoral degrees from Temple University, Harvard University, and the universities of Glasgow in Scotland, Berlin in Germany, Delhi in India, and Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Additionally, she received the title of Honorary Fellow from the Educational Institute of Scotland.

In 1961 Helen suffered a series of strokes and spent the remaining years of her life at her home in Connecticut.

On June 1st, 1968, just a few weeks before her 88th birthday Helen died in her sleep. Her ashes are interred at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC.

The Haunting of Cedarhurst Mansion.

Stephen Ewing built Cedarhurst Mansion in 1823 in Huntsville, Alabama. Tragically, on November 28th, 1837, Sally Carter, a relative of the Ewings, died of illness at the age of 15 while visiting her sister at the mansion. It was just three weeks shy of her birthday when she was buried on the property. It was said that her ghost has continued to linger, and over the years, people have reported strange occurrences related to her.

The most famous report of Sally’s ghost occurred in 1919, when a 17-year-old boy from Dothan was staying in her former bedroom. He claimed to have been visited by her during a stormy night. Sally asked him to fix her tombstone, which had been knocked over in the storm. When the boy’s family checked, they found the tombstone indeed fallen.

Other people that have stayed in Sally's room have reported doors opening and closing by themselves, covers getting snatched off the bed and light switches flipping on their own.

There also have been reports of Sally's apparition roaming the estate she adored. A former guard at Cedarhurst reported hearing Sally's footsteps upstairs during a night shift. Once her shift concluded, she discovered that she had misplaced some money while making her rounds.

Despite searching the property, experiencing the eerie sensation of footsteps trailing her, and enduring the unsettling flicker of her flashlight as though its batteries were about to expire, the guard eventually resigned herself to the loss of the money.

Upon her return to the guard shack, her flashlight suddenly flickered to life, illuminating the cash she had written off as lost. It was at that moment she decided to express her gratitude to Sally, and she claims that in response, she heard the laughter of a young woman.

There have been numerous reports of Sally’s ghost watching over children as they slept and moving furniture on its own. Sally's spirit is said to haunt the estate to this day.

Constant visits to her grave caused problems for her family. In 1982, when a new neighborhood was being developed, Sally’s family moved her casket along with others in the family plot and reburied her in Maple Hill Cemetery. Some claim that when her grave was excavated, Sally's casket was empty.
