The mysterious case of the missing Oscars
Since 1951, all Oscar statuettes have been awarded with a caveat—if the recipient wants to sell it, they have to first offer it back to the Academy for $1. There’s now a black market for the golden knights. Some buyers are anonymous movie buffs, but some are the stars themselves: Steven Spielberg purchased Oscars and donated them back to the Academy.

The World at War
Right now, we have wars in two areas, the middle east, specifically Israel, and Europe, specifically Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine and Hamas (Iran) invaded Israel. We also have wars in Syria, Sudan, Myanmar (civil wars in all three countries) & Taiwan which is trying to protect itself from China.
As a result of mainstream media, we, as American citizens, are only focused on Ukraine and Israel since they are the most volatile and far worse than civil wars.
Many experts, those who study war, say that the world is PRIMED FOR A THIRD WORLD WAR... now, are they correct, or are they just speculating, or are they unsure and want the world to be prepared anyway?
No one knows for sure...
But, if there is a WWIII, what kind of a war will it be like?
- Some say a conventional war
- Some say not a conventional war
- Some say nuclear war - limited
- Some say nuclear war - all out
Personally, it is hard to believe that the world would want an all out nuclear war. Even if some of the elite survived a nuclear war, they would do so underground with very few, if any, of the modern conveniences. If they did have some modern conveniences, what would life be like underground?
- Would we have babies?
- What kind of food would we eat?
- What kind of medical would we have?
- What kind of education?
- What kind of recreation/entertainment?
- What kind of housing?
- What kind of transportation?
We currently have several global wars going on and a potential for WWIII but we better hope that we never go to the latter.

Well, that is precisely what scientists have recently achieved at the University of Oxford: teleporting data between two quantum computers. Although it may seem like science fiction or just news, the world
Although, let’s lower the hype a little, the transmission distance of this experiment was less than two meters, but that doesn’t matter, what matters is having achieved this milestone of sharing information without the need for connections. READ MORE...
