German law enforcement officials are searching for an Islamic man following a mass stabbing attack in the city of Solingen on Friday night that left several people dead. At least nine people were stabbed, three of whom have died, at the “Festival of Diversity” — a three-day event celebrating the 650th anniversary of the city’s founding. The suspect “specifically targeted the necks of his victims,” German authorities said at a press conference. German newspaper WELT AM SONNTAG obtained a copy of a police report on the attack that stated: “A witness who was injured in the attack stated that the unknown suspect was ‘known from Solingen’ and that he was also a visitor to a local mosque. A witness reported that the suspect shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ during his actions.” Bild, Germany’s largest newspaper, said that police were treating the incident as a “terror attack” after the suspect, whom witnesses described as “an Arab-looking man,” began attacking people at a busy city square in Solingen where a stage was set up for the event. ISIS claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack, saying: “The perpetrator of the attack on the Christian gathering in the city of Solingen, Germany, yesterday, was a soldier from the Islamic State, and he carried it out as revenge against Muslims in Palestine and everywhere.” ISIS has now claimed Responsibility for yesterday’s Stabbing Attack at a Diversity Festival in the German City of Solingen, which resulted in Three Deaths and Eight Injuries. pic.twitter.com/9gI0ujPSq8 — OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) August 24, 2024 Police arrested a 15-year-old in connection with the stabbing, but later indicated that he was not the suspect they were looking for.

HBO host Bill Maher ripped CNN host Kaitlan Collins during his show this week over the network’s left-wing bias, which he said is on constant display. Maher made the remarks Friday night on “Real Time” while discussing an interview that Collins had with Stephen Colbert on CBS where she and her network were laughed at when Colbert said that they were a straight news organization. “You made press because you were on Stephen Colbert’s show, and he said something like, ‘You guys at CNN just report the news straight.’ And the crowd burst into laughter,” Maher said. “I’m a big rooter for CNN, but that tells you a lot, doesn’t it?” Maher asked Collins how she thinks her network is doing in this “terribly divided country” where both sides “just hate the other side.” Collins claimed her show was “evidence” that CNN is a place where both sides can watch and be engaged. “We’ll have Elizabeth Warren on one night, we’ll have Ted Cruz on another night,” she said. “I think lawmakers from both parties should take questions, and you should push both of them.” She said that CNN was “a place of credibility” because the network sent hundreds of people to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to give mostly fawning coverage of the event. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. Maher responded: “I’m talking about the people on CNN. And I know what the conservative side of America thinks, and I don’t blame them. I watched Kamala’s speech last night. It ended at 8:09, I guess 11:09 in the east.” Maher said that CNN gave 15 straight minutes of glowing media coverage to Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris until “lonely Scott” Jennings, one of the only conservative voices on the network, chimed in and pushed back on what was being said. “I watched from 8:09 to 8:23, they were just gushing about how great a speech it was,” he said. “And I think she did fine. I didn’t think it was as good as they were making it out to be. But if I’m a conservative in America and I’m watching CNN, just for the straight middle of the road, that’s what I hear for 15 minutes, is it’s great. And then lonely Scott. It does look, I mean, and when you see the panel, it does look like tokenism. It’s kind of like the same as ‘The View,’ it’s like, it’s almost better to have nobody there, like MSNBC, than to have this.” Collins claimed that people like Dana Bash, Jake Tapper, and Abby Phillip give “analysis” and that they were fair voices on the network, to which Maher responded that they “come across” like Democrat activists. “They come across that way. In a moment like that, it was like five to one,” he said. “It always looks like five one.” WATCH: Bill Maher asks CNN’s Kaitlan Collins why CNN’s reputation is so poor that Colbert’s audience laughed at the idea of CNN being an impartial news source: Bill Maher: “You were on Colbert’s show, and he said ‘You guys at CNN just report the news straight’ and the crowd burst into… pic.twitter.com/2sE964CGvr — Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) August 24, 2024

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s family members publicly endorsed President Joe Biden, posing with the sitting president for a St. Patrick’s Day photo — a photo from which RFK Jr. was pointedly excluded. But things got much uglier on Friday after the independent presidential candidate announced his plan to endorse former President Donald Trump. The 2024 presidential race changed a lot over the summer, with a disastrous first debate showing for Biden, Trump getting shot in the head in an attempted assassination, and Biden’s eventual exit from the contest altogether. With Biden gone, Kennedy pressed the party to go to a contested convention — one in which he could participate fairly after being effectively shut out of the primary. But the Democratic National Committee instead rallied behind Vice President Kamala Harris, handing her the nomination without anyone casting a single vote. In addition, the Democratic Party filed lawsuit after lawsuit against Kennedy, attempting to keep him off the ballot wherever possible. The day after Harris officially accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination, Kennedy made an official announcement of his own: he was pulling his name off the ballot in key swing states and throwing his support behind Trump — and he delivered a systematic takedown of the Democratic Party’s tactics in the process. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. But within hours, his own family had turned against him. Kerry Kennedy shared a statement, signed by several other family members, that read, “We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise, and national pride. We believe in Harris and Walz. Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear. It is a sad ending to a sad story.” I am sharing a personal statement that my family and I have made in response to my brother’s announcement. pic.twitter.com/j7vTTabNYZ — Kerry Kennedy (@KerryKennedyRFK) August 23, 2024 Critics responded to the statement, arguing that the family could certainly have endorsed Harris without taking a swipe at their own brother. “Nobody knows any of your names except Bobby’s because his life’s work has actually been worthwhile & beneficial to humanity. Despite snobby relatives like you trying to undercut him [publicly]. Just makes us like him more!” Liz Wheeler posted. “I don’t support Trump and will not be supporting Trump but this family drama playing out so publicly is really quite trashy and beneath all of you for a family who considers itself the premier American political dynasty (despite being almost a century removed from power),” Meghan McCain said.

As kids, many of us believed the Moon was made of cheese. As we grew older, we realized it was a silly joke. Sure, we know the Moon isn’t made of cheese. But we’ll admit, we’re not quite sure what it’s really made of. Scientists say they’ve got it all figured out. According to an investigation led by astronomer Arthur Briaud of the French National Centre for Scientific Research, the Moon’s inner core is a solid ball with a density similar to iron. “Our results question the evolution of the Moon’s magnetic field thanks to its demonstration of the existence of the inner core and support a global mantle overturn scenario that brings substantial insights on the timeline of the lunar bombardment in the first billion years of the Solar System,” the astronomer wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NASA (@nasa) The Team Did A Lot Of Work To Figure Out What’s Inside The Moon According to Science Alert, Briaud and his team analyzed data from space missions. They also used lunar laser-ranging experiments to determine the lunar characteristics. They then created models to try to recreate a close match with the observational data. The scientists found that the densest material inside the moon falls toward the center, and the less dense material rises. This activity reportedly helps to explain the volcanic regions of the Moon. They also found the lunar core to be like Earth’s, having an outer fluid layer and a solid inner core. The inner core of the Moon was also found to be particularly dense, similar to iron. It’s been more than 50 years since humans have been to the Moon, but NASA has plans to change that. “We’re going back to the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and inspiration for a new generation of explorers: the Artemis Generation. While maintaining American leadership in exploration, we will build a global alliance and explore deep space for the benefit of all.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

A flower girl was so excited to be part of a wedding celebration that she flipped all the way down the aisle. Raina Elegado’s 9-year-old daughter, Scarlett Rae, had some pretty impressive moves that added a lot of pizazz to the outdoor wedding. Raina posted a video of Scarlett on TikTok, which has been viewed more than 1 million times. The wedding was over, and it was time for Scarlett to make a grand exit. Per Good Morning America, her mom told Storyful that the fourth grader is a competitive dancer, and she decided to add a “bunch of flips” to the grand finale. Unsurprisingly, the video went viral, and people are crazy about Scarlett Rae’s moves. @raina_elegado #dance #dancer #dancelife #dancers #competitivedancer #dancemom #dancemoms #dancersofinstagram #flowergirl #flowergirls #wedding #weddingday #fyp ♬ original sound – Raina Elegado TikTokers Are Obsessed With The Flower Girl’s Flips There is no question—the flower girl’s flip exit was big.

The Singular Fortean Society received a report recently from Chicago resident Ami Kleminski, who wished to share her sighting of a “werewolf” on South Lake Shore Drive.“I don't want to sound like a nut. I'm sure many, if not most, of the messages you receive begin this way. I'll just get to it. After watching Unsolved Mysteries [Volume 4, Episode 5], something resonated. This is something I've shared with anyone who will listen and that I shared on Facebook when it happened,” she said of her experience.Kleminski’s sighting took place during the early morning hours of March 8th, 2016, as she was driving to work."I live on the Northside of Chicago, but I work (since 1996) for a steel mill in Gary, Indiana, with a 4am-2pm work schedule. The toll road system here is too expensive for the everyday traveler so I use a combination of highways and smaller roads to travel back and forth. The way there is pretty quiet from a traffic perspective, especially on South Lake Shore Drive where the event occurred. It is still well-lit, though, I'm sure for safety reasons, as it is right next to Lake Michigan, its bicycle and pedestrian path, and public beaches.On March 8th, 2016, I was traveling from Chicago to Gary on South Lake Shore Drive near 31st Street when I had to slow down after catching something out of the corner of my left eye. I'm very careful at that hour to watch for animals and for teenagers who might be hanging around by the lake doing teenage things and then stumbling across the road. I had a heightened alert this morning because of the weather. My [Facebook] post when I arrived at work even mentions that the high that day for Chicago was going to be 67 degrees—VERY warm for Chicago on March 8th—a time of year that still sees blizzard conditions.What I saw was a naked, adult, fair-haired white male loping across the road from the Lake Michigan side towards the city neighborhoods. When I say lope, I mean on all fours like a dog and bounding away or towards something. This was not, however, a dog, coyote, or fox. It was a naked full-grown man with his body contorted into the gait of a canine and moving at a good clip. At the time I remember saying to myself, "I just saw a fucking werewolf." I checked the moon trope for werewolves, and it was actually a new moon. I posted it on [Facebook] when I arrived at work. I told a co-worker, and he asked, like many after him, why didn't I call 911. And say what? Sorry busy 911 operator, I just saw a possibly transitioning werewolf / naked dog man lope across South [Lake Shore Drive]?"The baffling nature of this experience stuck with Kleminski and inspired her to search for answers, but it wasn’t until she saw investigator Tobias Wayland on Unsolved Mysteries that she decided to contact The Singular Fortean Society."Over the years I've shared the story. I've tried to Google [other sightings or] to find similar stories on Reddit, etc. I've never found anything. I do know what I saw and by the time I get up for work, get ready, and get about 20 minutes from my house, I'm fully awake. I wasn't scared at the time, just confused. One sees weird human stuff in the morning in those overnight hours, but never anything like this," she said. "Then I'm watching the Mothman episode [of Unsolved Mysteries] and a mother and daughter were talking about a creature with hindlegs crawling out of a canal. What I saw didn't resemble any Mothman sighting I've heard of; what I saw was skin and human-looking but canine. The hindleg part of their story bothered me, though."The report referenced by Kleminski is that of Shana Clippert and her mother Barbera, who said they saw a massive, black, winged humanoid and a glowing UFO in Rockford, Illinois, after midnight on June 20th, 2022.In correspondence with Kleminski, Wayland asked if she was aware of Uner Tan syndrome—a condition that causes those suffering from it to walk using quadrupedal locomotion that is often accompanied by severe learning disabilities."I watched some videos on Uner Tan syndrome and what you said made sense. It wasn't that. They keep their backsides high and legs rather straight. This was like watching a hairless German Shepherd with a man's head. The back was straight like a dog and the legs bent like hind legs. The only thing canine was the gait," Kleminski said.She also considered if perhaps some illicit substance might have been involved.“Bath salts, maybe? I really don't see how that could allow one to contort one's body like that, though,” she said. “I can still see it in my head like it was yesterday. We live in a strange and mysterious world with so many unknowns and maybe that is what I witnessed.”Ultimately, Kleminski just wants to understand what she saw.“I was really hoping someone else you've encountered or you had seen something similar. I'll be watching for it for the rest of my life,” she told Wayland. “I want to not be the only person in Chicago with this experience. I want to understand what I saw or to have it validated with similar experiences, if possible.”**********PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

A Midwestern resident is sitting in their yard when their dog starts to act up. Soon after, though hard to imagine, the witness observes a massive  'Lizard Man' dragging a 'Dogman' by the throat.“Hello, my name is Katie and I am a middle-aged woman who lives in a very rural part of the Midwest an area where my closest neighbor is just under half a mile away just to give you an idea of how isolated it is where I reside.I've never been married and I have no children of my own but I do have two older indoor cats, Calvin and Hobbs, as well as a female Australian Shepherd whose name is Banjo. She's my constant companion and is always outside with me when I'm mowing my lawn tending the plants or just lounging on my front porch when I sit in my rocking chair and observe my own little slice of the world in the rear of my house. I have a 10 foot x 10 foot deck and another chair I sit in my backyard is half an acre of grass which is clear all the way up to the adjoining tree line which is where my property line ends and my neighbor's begins. I sit back here sometimes to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature and to watch the squirrels the birds and ever so often deer which find their way onto my property I take joy in surveying the world around me and also watching Banjo run around and get her exercise when she needs to stretch her legs.What I experienced goes back to last year in October of 2023. Banjo was acting restless and letting me know that she needed to go outside and do her business I put on my sneakers and a light jacket and we went outside on the back porch. I don't know why but for some reason she enjoys doing her business on either side of the house. Most of the time she took off down the steps and went around the corner while I sat sat down in my chair twiddling my thumbs until she decided to come back. Usually, that takes no longer than a couple minutes in typical Banjo fashion she came back onto the deck standing next to me while I was still in my chair however she wasn't staring at me as she always does, her ears were up and her head was tilted and she was looking past me and behind me in the other direction this is the point where I asked myself what she was looking at. I knew from past experience that seeing one or more deer would get her attention as would wild turkeys that came onto my property on the rare occasion.I turned my head and body to whatever it was that she was looking at and that was when I saw it or rather them now this is the part where I'm going to sound cuckoo or maybe downright bonkers but it's the absolute truth 100%. It's just nuts and I'm not even sure I would believe me but it is what I saw that day, Banjo too, first let me tell you that Banjo loves to bark and she can be a very hyper dog at times when she sees something new to her but she wasn't barking, she was pressing against me with a very low guttural growl coming from her throat. It wasn't laugh loud but I could hear it.We were both looking at what, well, what was a Lizard Man and it was dragging something very large and hairy which I couldn't tell what it was. Now this was at the very rear of my property line where the lawn meets the tree line that leads into the woods. I could see the Lizard Man much easier than the hairy thing it was dragging. What was it dragging though? My brain was quickly trying to process all of this. There was no bear anywhere close to where I live. Whatever was dragging, it was massive but the Lizard Man was massive as well. I have a shed where I keep old tools close to the back of the property line. My shed is probably a good 7 ft tall and this thing was four maybe 5 feet taller than it.I did a lot of looking around on the internet after this happened and the closest thing I can compare it to was the lizard character from the “Spider-Man” movie that's the best match I have for you. [editor’s note – I believe she is referring to The Lizard villain from “The Amazing Spider-Man” played by Rhys Ifans] The main difference however was the real one had a long snout, unlike the one from the film. As it got closer, I could see that it had large scales on the sides of its body around the stomach and chest area. Other than the things I mentioned in a lack of clothes [editor’s note - the one from the film wore a lab coat], they were a lot alike. The one I saw also had a very long tail that was whipping around.At this point, my jaw was probably on my chest and I'm sure if someone could have seen my face my eyes would have undoubtedly been as large as saucers. The entire time Banjo stood against my leg pressing up hard and giving that low low growl from somewhere deep inside her chest. After a couple or three seconds, because things were happening quickly, it was now close enough for me to see it was holding what seemed to be a Dogman around the throat. I didn't know until later on that that was the name people had for them so at that time I thought it was just dragging a werewolf and then I thought how is any of this even real? The werewolf or Dogman, well, whatever you call it, wasn't moving. It was on its back and the Lizard Man had a scaly clawed hand wrapped around the Dogman's throat just pulling it along like a small kid would pull a red wagon behind themselves and I know I'm aging myself with that but it's the best comparison I can think of.Then the Lizard Man stopped abruptly. I remember the tail still swishing as it did. He turned and looked at me and Banjo for a couple of seconds. I felt indifference in the eyes like we were unimportant, insignificant, and that we didn't matter to this thing. It then turned right at the end of the yard and veered into the forest still dragging the Dogman behind it.I have never seen the likes of anything like those creatures in my entire life before or since this occurrence last year. Banjo however was nervous for a couple of weeks after that happened and would only do her business right next to the deck with me keeping a watchful eye on her. She's long since eased back into her old ways of going back to the side of the house and life is normal once again.”Source: “12 Foot Tall Lizard Man with A Dogman” - Cryptids Canada**********PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of the encrypted messaging app Telegram, was arrested this Saturday evening, according to French media. The incident occurred at Le Bourget Airport just as Durov, accompanied by a bodyguard and a woman, disembarked from his private jet. Durov, who holds dual Franco-Russian citizenship and is 39 years old, had just arrived from Azerbaijan. The arrest was executed by members of the GTA (Gendarmerie of Air Transport), acting on a French search warrant. This warrant, issued by the OFMIN of the national directorate of the French judicial police, was based on allegations that Telegram’s operational policies — specifically its lack of censorship and lack of cooperation with law enforcement’s censorship demands, along with features such as disposable phone numbers and cryptocurrency transactions — indirectly support illicit activities. Following his arrest, Durov was notified by ONAF (National Anti-Fraud Office) investigators and placed in police custody. He was scheduled to appear before an investigating judge on Saturday evening with the potential for multiple charges to be brought against him on Sunday, including those related to terrorism, narcotics, conspiracy, fraud, money laundering, and more. An investigator confidently told TF1/LCI, “Pavel Durov will end up in pre-trial detention, that’s for sure.” They added, “On his platform, he allowed countless crimes and crimes to be committed for which he does nothing to moderate or cooperate.” The recent arrest of Pavel Durov is just the latest in a series of challenges facing Telegram, an encrypted messaging service known for its stringent privacy policies. In recent weeks, the platform has come under intensified scrutiny and attacks from various governments and regulatory bodies, alleging that its free speech policies facilitate illegal activities. The core of the controversy surrounds Telegram’s encryption protocols and privacy features, which authorities claim obstruct criminal investigations and enable the spread of illicit content. Telegram’s user base has surged, particularly in regions with contentious political climates, due to its promise of secure communication. Related: Telegram’s New Era Merges Chat and Web: In-App Browser, Mini App Store, and More However, this growth has been accompanied by increased allegations that the platform is being used by criminal networks, terrorists, and other malicious actors. Despite these accusations, Telegram has consistently defended its policies, citing user privacy as a paramount concern. The platform’s refusal to establish backdoors for government surveillance or to share user data has led to legal confrontations in several countries. Furthermore, the use of disposable phone numbers and support for cryptocurrency transactions on Telegram has drawn criticism for potentially providing a veil of anonymity to criminal operations. These features, while popular among privacy advocates, are often pointed to by law enforcement as hurdles in the fight against digital crime. The arrest of Durov marks a major escalation in the global debate over the balance between privacy and security, and could have profound implications across multiple dimensions: Legal Precedent: This incident could set a legal precedent for how nations handle the regulation of encrypted communication platforms. If Durov is prosecuted for the actions of users on his platform, it might lead to increased pressure on other tech companies to monitor and control user behavior, potentially compromising the commitment to user privacy. Government Surveillance and Privacy: The case highlights the tension between government surveillance and individual privacy rights. Governments may use this incident as a justification to demand greater access to encrypted communications, arguing that it’s necessary for national security and law enforcement. This could lead to broader legal and regulatory changes that erode privacy protections in digital spaces. International Relations and Jurisdiction: Durov’s dual citizenship and the international nature of his business highlight the complexities of jurisdiction in digital law enforcement. This arrest may prompt discussions on international cooperation and conflict regarding digital sovereignty and the enforcement of national laws against globally operating platforms. Impact on Business Operations: The arrest could deter businesses and developers from creating or maintaining products that prioritize user privacy if such priorities could lead to legal troubles. This might stifle innovation in secure communications technology, affecting how businesses operate, especially those that rely on strict confidentiality. Public and Market Reaction: The response from the public and markets to Durov’s arrest could influence how other companies approach privacy and encryption. A strong backlash might deter governments from similar actions, while subdued reactions might embolden more crackdowns. Criminal Activities vs. Privacy Advocacy: The case forces a renewed examination of the fine line between protecting privacy and preventing criminal activities. The outcomes of this case may influence public opinion on whether the benefits of encryption and high privacy standards outweigh the risks associated with providing a platform that can be used for illicit purposes. This situation is a litmus test for the future of digital privacy, encryption, and the role of tech companies in moderating content and cooperating with law enforcement.
