Have you ever had a near-death experience (NDE)?
Same here, in the Geneva lake, 50 meters, pitch dark, 4 degrees water and both my regulators jammed. Some Bends too. Kept diving but avoided depth in cold water with unsuited gear. -

New UK Parliament Report: Unveiling the Horrors of 7 October A Truth That Cannot Be Denied
The grim reality of the events of 7 October can no longer be concealed. The 7 October Parliamentary Commission Report, chaired by Lord Andrew Roberts, has now been released, offering a meticulously detailed, forensic examination of the atrocities committed against Israel by Hamas. The report serves as a crucial document preserving the stark and harrowing truth of the mass murder, torture, and sexual violence inflicted upon innocent civilians. It stands as an unshakable testament, ensuring that these horrors are recorded in history, beyond the reach of those who might attempt to distort or deny them. The very necessity of such a report speaks volumes about the unsettling times in which we live. That Britain’s parliament must painstakingly document the massacre of nearly 1,200 people—marking the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust—simply to ensure it is believed is both shocking and obscene. And yet, this is the reality of the modern world, where Jewish suffering is often met with skepticism, where atrocities against Israelis are subject to hedging, justification, or outright denial. It is for this reason that the work of Lord Roberts and his parliamentary colleagues is so vital. Their efforts go beyond merely recording history; they serve to prevent its manipulation and erasure by those with an agenda to obscure the truth. Lord Andrew Roberts, one of Britain’s most esteemed historians, is renowned for his scholarly works on Churchill, Napoleon, and World War II. His biography Churchill: Walking with Destiny has been widely praised for its meticulous research and analytical depth, while Napoleon the Great strips away myth to present an unvarnished portrayal of the legendary figure. However, Roberts is not merely a chronicler of the past; he is a custodian of truth in the present. He understands that historical memory is not just about preserving facts but about what society is willing to accept as truth. In an era where denial spreads faster than evidence, his determination to ensure the 7 October Report is published, studied, and widely disseminated is an act of profound moral significance. The report lays bare, with irrefutable detail, the full scale of the attack. It confirms that Hamas’ invasion of southern Israel was not an impulsive act but a meticulously planned operation, years in the making. As early as 2018, Palestinian armed groups had begun collaborating through the so-called ‘Joint Room for Palestinian Resistance Factions,’ pooling resources and strategies for a future large-scale assault. On the morning of 7 October, that plan was executed with chilling precision. More than 7,000 attackers breached Israel’s defenses at 119 separate points along the border. The assault was methodical, utilizing land, sea, and air forces. Terrorists deployed drones to disable surveillance systems, paragliders to bypass security barriers, and specialized explosives to break into safe rooms where civilians sought refuge. What followed was an unspeakable massacre. The report captures in shocking detail the mass slaughter that took place, including the horrific attack on the Nova music festival, where 375 people were killed as Hamas gunmen hunted down civilians, tossing grenades into bomb shelters and shooting those attempting to flee in their vehicles. Families were systematically targeted in their homes, women subjected to rape as a weapon of war, and bodies desecrated. The youngest victim, newborn Naama Abu Rashed, was shot while still in her mother’s womb, surviving for 14 agonizing hours before succumbing to her wounds despite desperate medical efforts. The oldest, 92-year-old Holocaust survivor Moshe Ridler, was murdered when Hamas operatives fired a rocket-propelled grenade into his safe room. The report further corroborates evidence of sexual violence, aligning with the findings of Pramila Patten, the UN’s special representative on such crimes. It confirms that Hamas terrorists gang-raped women before executing them, that female victims’ bodies were discovered stripped, bound, and mutilated. The report systematically dismantles Hamas’ denials, exposing their calculated deceit—even when confronted with video evidence recorded by the perpetrators themselves. It documents Hamas’ methodical approach, with instruction manuals found on captured fighters detailing procedures for taking hostages, pre-planned routes for looting, and organized destruction. This document is now a permanent parliamentary record, created to ensure that the events of 7 October cannot be rewritten by historical revisionists. The need for such a report in the UK—the fact that Jewish suffering must be chronicled with exhaustive, forensic precision to be acknowledged—reveals something profoundly troubling about today’s moral climate. Yet this publication remains indispensable. It is not merely a record of terror; it is a stand against those who would attempt to deny, justify, or downplay its significance. Thanks to this report, when future generations look back on 7 October 2023, they will not be forced to sift through conspiracy and distortion to uncover what truly happened. They will see the undeniable truth, laid bare in black and white. And that is what matters. Because history is not shaped by those who shout the loudest in protest or those who seek to bury the past beneath propaganda and slogans. It belongs to those who tell the truth.

ISIS Regroups: Children in Syrian Detention Camps Radicalized Amid Power Struggles
The Kurdish troops patrolling the sprawling detention camps of northeast Syria face constant danger. Stones and rocks pelting their armored vehicles are minor compared to the frequent knife attacks and bombings from ISIS-affiliated detainees. For over six years, these soldiers have guarded camps filled with the wives and relatives of ISIS fighters, but the threat is only growing stronger. Kane Ahmed, the commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) troops overseeing the al Hol camp, paints a grim picture. “The threat of ISIS has increased both inside and outside the camp... especially after the fall of the Syrian regime. It’s gone up a lot, and we see attempts by them to escape on almost a daily basis.” The perimeter fence, reinforced multiple times, remains inadequate. Three round-the-clock CCTV rooms monitor the area, but intelligence reports confirm that ISIS cells outside the camp are smuggling in weapons and aiding escapes. “We know they are receiving help,” the commander explains. Delivery trucks have been used to hide detainees in hollowed-out seats, while waterways have become escape routes for smuggling children out. These children are the next generation of ISIS fighters, indoctrinated from birth. More than 60% of al Hol’s population consists of children—22,000 of them. Many have never known life beyond the confines of the camp. They regard outsiders with hostility, throwing stones at soldiers and journalists, kicking cameras, and shouting threats. Armed troops escort visitors, warning them to wear protective vests and helmets. “You will be attacked,” camp management cautions. Raids on tents frequently uncover weapons, homemade bombs, and grenades. The radicalization is evident in the children’s words. “We will behead you,” they chant. “One day we will be in charge. ISIS is coming back.” A woman cloaked in a burqa echoes their sentiments. “We love the Islamic State. We were free with them. Here, we are captives.” The fragile agreement between the Kurdish-led SDF and Syria’s interim president is seen as a step forward in relations between the Kurdish minority and the Islamist authorities now in power. However, the pressing question of what to do with the ISIS detainees remains unanswered. The power vacuum left in Syria is giving ISIS room to regroup and strengthen. Commander Ahmed delivers a stark warning: “We need help to control ISIS from the international coalition. We cannot do this on our own.” As the situation inside the camps worsens, the international community faces a looming crisis—one that could see ISIS rise again from within the very places meant to contain it.

Greenpeace Ordered to Pay Hundreds of Millions in Dakota Access Pipeline Case
A jury in North Dakota has ruled against Greenpeace, holding the environmental organization liable for defamation and other allegations tied to its opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline. The verdict, delivered on Wednesday by a nine-member jury, found Greenpeace responsible for significant damages sought by Energy Transfer, the Dallas-based company behind the controversial pipeline. The legal battle stems from the widespread protests in 2016 and 2017 against the Dakota Access Pipeline’s route beneath the Missouri River, just upstream of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s reservation. The tribe has long argued that the pipeline threatens their water supply, fueling a movement that drew international attention. Despite these concerns, the pipeline has been in operation since mid-2017, carrying crude oil across multiple states. Energy Transfer and its subsidiary, Dakota Access, filed the lawsuit against Greenpeace International, Greenpeace USA, and Greenpeace Fund Inc., accusing them of defamation, civil conspiracy, trespassing, nuisance, and other unlawful actions. The jury ultimately sided with the company, awarding them damages in the hundreds of millions. Attorney Trey Cox, representing the plaintiffs, argued that Greenpeace engaged in a deliberate effort to halt the pipeline’s construction. During his opening statement, Cox alleged that Greenpeace provided funding to bring outside activists into the protest area, supplied materials for blockades, facilitated protest training sessions, and spread false information about the project to obstruct its progress. Greenpeace, however, strongly denied these claims. Legal representatives for the organization maintained that there was no concrete evidence linking Greenpeace to the alleged misconduct. They asserted that Greenpeace employees had minimal to no direct involvement in the protests and insisted that the organization played no role in delaying the pipeline’s construction or affecting Energy Transfer’s financial operations. Following the verdict, Greenpeace representatives described the case as a significant challenge to First Amendment rights, emphasizing that the lawsuit could set a dangerous precedent for free speech and protest activities. The organization expressed concern that the ruling could have far-reaching consequences, potentially threatening its ability to advocate for environmental causes in the future. Energy Transfer, on the other hand, framed the lawsuit as a matter of legal accountability rather than an attack on free speech. A company spokesperson previously stated, "The lawsuit is about Greenpeace not following the law, not free speech." The ruling marks a major legal victory for Energy Transfer and raises questions about the future of advocacy groups involved in high-profile environmental protests. As Greenpeace weighs its next legal steps, the outcome of this case may shape the landscape for activism and corporate accountability in the years to come. Based on a report by NYP 2025-03-21 -

Trump's Letter to Iran Sets Two-Month Deadline for Nuclear Deal
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly set a two-month deadline for Iran to reach a new nuclear agreement, according to a U.S. official and two sources briefed on the matter. The ultimatum was included in a letter sent to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, raising the stakes for potential diplomatic talks or military action. It remains unclear whether the two-month deadline began when the letter was delivered or if it will start once negotiations commence. However, if Iran rejects Trump’s proposal and refuses to negotiate, the risk of U.S. or Israeli military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities will significantly increase. Iran’s nuclear program has advanced considerably over the past four years, making it closer than ever to producing a nuclear weapon. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran possesses enough 60% enriched uranium to build six nuclear bombs if further enriched to 90%. Iran, however, denies that it is pursuing nuclear weapons. Two weeks ago, Trump disclosed in an interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo that he had sent a letter to Khamenei offering direct negotiations. The following day, he warned that the U.S. was "down to the final moments" regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “We can't let them have a nuclear weapon. Something is going to happen very soon. I would rather have a peace deal than the other option, but the other option will solve the problem,” he stated. The letter was delivered recently by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff to the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed Bin Zayed (MBZ), in a meeting in Abu Dhabi. The next day, MBZ’s envoy Anwar Gargash traveled to Tehran and handed the letter to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Sources familiar with the letter described it as “tough.” While it proposed negotiations for a new nuclear agreement, it also included warnings about potential consequences if Iran rejected the offer and continued its nuclear program. Trump emphasized that he did not want open-ended negotiations and explicitly stated a two-month period for reaching a deal, according to two sources. Before delivering the letter, the White House briefed key U.S. allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, on its contents. Neither the White House nor the Iranian mission to the United Nations has commented on the matter. Last week, Khamenei dismissed Trump’s letter and proposal as “a deception” designed to create the impression that Iran was unwilling to negotiate. While he stated he was against talks with the U.S., the Iranian mission to the UN later released a statement that did not entirely rule out discussions. “If the objective of negotiations is to address concerns vis-à-vis any potential militarization of Iran’s nuclear program, such discussions may be subject to consideration,” the statement read. However, the Iranian mission made it clear that if the talks were aimed at dismantling Iran’s nuclear program to claim a diplomatic victory over the Obama-era nuclear deal, “such negotiations will never take place.” Iran’s Foreign Ministry recently told reporters that Trump’s letter is still under review and that a response is being prepared. Meanwhile, tensions in the region continue to escalate. Trump warned on Monday that the U.S. would hold Iran responsible for any further attacks by the Houthis in Yemen, threatening “dire consequences.” Iran has denied controlling the Houthis. On Wednesday, Trump claimed on Truth Social that there were reports of Iran reducing its military support for the Houthis but added that they were “still sending large levels of supplies.” He reiterated his demand for Iran to cease aiding the Houthis. Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, reinforced the administration’s stance, stating that Iran must “hand over and give up” all aspects of its nuclear program, including missiles, weaponization, and uranium enrichment, or face “a whole series of other consequences.” Waltz emphasized that Iran had been offered a diplomatic solution but warned that failure to comply could have severe repercussions.

Government Urged to Ensure Police and NHS Record Biological Sex
The NHS and police forces in the UK have been urged to collect data on biological sex rather than solely relying on self-declared gender identity, following an independent review commissioned under Rishi Sunak’s leadership. Currently, many public bodies record only an individual’s gender identity, meaning biological men who identify as women are officially listed as female. Critics argue that this practice undermines research into women’s issues and hinders the ability to identify trends in rape cases, medical studies, and gender pay disparities. The review has concluded that public bodies must not conflate sex and gender identity in their data collection. However, the government has not yet confirmed whether it will implement these recommendations. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has previously altered his stance on gender issues, stating in 2023 that “99.9 per cent of women haven’t got a penis” before later acknowledging “the biology” of “men having penises and women having vaginas.” Professor Alice Sullivan from the Social Research Institute at University College London, who led the review, emphasized that public bodies should record individuals' biological sex and, where applicable, separately note their gender identity. She warned that the increasing tendency to treat gender identity as interchangeable with sex has made public records unstable, posing risks to individuals, especially minors. The report highlighted an urgent need for the NHS to stop assigning new identification numbers based on self-declared gender identity, as this could lead to patients being invited to incorrect medical screenings. It also called on the Home Secretary to mandate all 43 police forces in England and Wales, along with the British Transport Police, to record sex rather than gender identity. Professor Sullivan argued that those possessing a Gender Recognition Certificate should be recorded according to their biological sex rather than their legal sex. She also recommended that official forms should avoid the phrase “sex assigned at birth,” stating that sex is determined at conception. Speaking to The Telegraph, Professor Sullivan described the conflation of sex and gender identity across public bodies as “systematic.” She said, “There seems to be a legal fiction that public bodies cannot collect data on sex. This report should show them that they can collect data on sex.” The report follows previous concerns about the recording of gender identity in official statistics. In 2021, the Office for National Statistics had to revise its data after a flawed wording in the census led to an overestimation of the number of transgender individuals in the UK. Professor Sullivan’s findings indicated that administrative and survey data in the health and justice sectors have become unreliable due to shifting definitions of gender over the past decade. She explained, “In some cases, the loss of data on sex poses risks to individuals. This is particularly apparent within health and social care. The risks are especially high in the case of minors.” She also found that organizations were frequently merging data on sex and gender identity. For example, rape crisis centres in Scotland used a data management system allowing multiple gender options for both victims and perpetrators, including male, female, intersex, genderqueer, and other categories. The report urged a clear distinction between biological sex and gender identity, recommending that the term “gender” be avoided altogether due to its multiple interpretations. Professor Sullivan explained that while some use it as a synonym for biological sex, others see it as referring to personal identity. Furthermore, the report emphasized that government departments should foster open discussions on sex and gender rather than silencing those with gender-critical views who emphasize the importance of biological sex. Explaining why people with a Gender Recognition Certificate should still be categorized based on their biological sex, she stated, “Sex as a biological category is constant across time and across jurisdictions, whereas the concept of ‘legal sex’ subject to a GRC may be subject to change in the future and varies across jurisdictions. Using natal sex future-proofs data collection against any such change, ensuring consistency.” The review, commissioned by former Conservative science secretary Michelle Donelan, was quietly published on the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology’s website. Maya Forstater, chief executive of women’s rights charity Sex Matters, described the review’s conclusions as “devastatingly clear” in outlining the damage caused by the mismanagement of sex data. She said, “This review is devastatingly clear about the harms caused by carelessness with sex data and a decade-long failure of the civil service to maintain impartiality and uphold data standards.” She argued that the loss of reliable sex data has caused real harm, impacting individuals and research while undermining the integrity of policy-making. “The destruction of data about sex has caused real harm to individuals and research and undermined the integrity of policy-making. The problems are everywhere, from NHS records that do not record biological sex to police forces that record male sex offenders as women. Conflating sex and gender identity is not a harmless act of kindness but a damaging dereliction of duty,” she said. Forstater further criticized bureaucrats for allowing data standards to deteriorate, attributing the situation to officials seeking recognition from advocacy groups like Stonewall. “These corrupted data standards have been set by bureaucrats insulated from the impact of their decisions, and competing for Stonewall awards,” she said. She concluded that the government should act quickly to adopt the review’s recommendations. “The Government should swiftly implement the recommendations of the Sullivan Review in order to restore administrative integrity in every place the state collects data on the sex of its citizens.” Based on a report by The Telegraph 2025-03-21
