​​AstraZeneca withdraws Covid-19 vaccine AstraZeneca made headlines as it initiated the global withdrawal of its COVID-19 vaccine. This decision comes weeks after the pharmaceutical giant acknowledged the vaccine's potential to trigger a rare side effect known as Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS). Previously, AstraZeneca had admitted in court filings that its vaccine could lead to side effects like blood clots and low blood platelet counts. However, the company has now attributed its vaccine withdrawal not to the aforementioned side effects, but to an "oversupply of updated vaccines" since the pandemic. The company also announced its decision to revoke the vaccine Vaxzevria's marketing authorisations within Europe, noting that the oversupply has reduced the demand for Vaxzevria, which is no longer being produced or distributed. AstraZeneca collaborated with the University of Oxford to develop the Vaxzevria vaccine, while also partnering with the Serum Institute of India (SII), the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, to supply the Covishield vaccine to the Indian government. The UK-based pharma company is currently facing legal action alleging that its vaccine has caused deaths and severe harm to a few of those who received it. AstraZeneca initially denied a causal link between the vaccine and this particular side-effect, but later admitted in court documents that the vaccine could cause TTS in very rare cases. As many as 51 cases have reportedly been filed against AstraZeneca in the British High Court, with affected individuals and families seeking compensation totaling an estimated £100 million. P.S. Covering their tracks? Hopefully one day all those involved will be put in jail, or better yet, injected with their “vaccine” several times!

9/11 The morning of September 11, 2001, was a day that will live in infamy. Two planes were flown into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, killing nearly 3,000 people. Larry Silverstein was the leaseholder of the World Trade Center at the time, and he filed an insurance claim for $7.1 billion. Larry Silverstein, a prominent New York real estate developer, made headlines in the wake of the 9/11 attacks for his insurance claim related to the destruction of the World Trade Center. Silverstein, who had signed a 99-year lease on the World Trade Center just two months before the attacks, collected nearly $4.6 billion from insurers to cover his losses. The insurance companies challenged Silverstein’s claim, arguing that the attacks should be considered a single “occurrence.” They also argued that Silverstein had not been in the buildings on the day (his wife made him an emergency doctors appointment that day) of the attacks, and that this raised the possibility of fraud. After a lengthy legal battle, the insurance companies agreed to pay Silverstein $4.6 billion. This settlement was a significant victory for Silverstein, but it also left some people wondering whether he had committed insurance fraud. The question of whether or not Silverstein committed insurance fraud is a complex one. There is no easy answer, and there is evidence to support both sides of the argument. However, it’s important to remember that Silverstein has not been charged with any crime, and he has denied any wrongdoing. Сoincidence?

​​The Mystery of Brazil’s Ancient Ingá Stone Might Have Just Been Solved The Ingá Stone, also known as “Pedra do Ingá” in Portuguese, is a colossal rock formation located in the middle of the Ingá River near the small city of Ingá, in northeastern Brazil. It measures approximately 3.8 meters (12.5 ft) in height and 46 meters (151 ft) in length, making it one of the largest inscribed stones in the world. Its surface is adorned with intricate engravings depicting a vast array of symbols, including humans, animals, geometric shapes, and cryptic hieroglyphs. The origins of the Ingá Stone remain shrouded in mystery, with its exact age and purpose still subject to debate among scholars. Most geologists, however, estimate that the rock formation dates back at least 6,000 years. And the carvings on it were most probably created by natives who lived in the area until the 18th century. One prominent hypothesis that has been put forth assigns remarkable significance to the petroglyphs of the Ingá Stone from an archeoastronomical perspective. In 1976, Francisco Pavía Alemany, a Spanish engineer, initiated a mathematical study of this archaeological monument and identified a series of “bowls” and another petroglyph engraved on the vertical surface, which formed a “solar calendar.” According to Alemany, a gnomon cast the shadow of the first rays of sunlight each day onto this calendar. Subsequently, F. Pavia pursued further research, shifting his focus to a set of engravings on the rocky surface, which he interpreted as a multitude of “stars” arranged in “constellations.” The presence of both the “bowls” and the “constellations” on the same rock is believed to bestow significant archeoastronomical value upon it. In the early twentieth century, Ludwig Schwennhagen, originally from Austria, conducted extensive research on Brazilian history. His studies revealed striking resemblances between the symbols present on the Ingá Stone and the iconography associated not only with the Phoenicians but also with the demotic writings, primarily used for business and literary documents, of ancient Egypt. Additionally, other groups of researchers discovered a remarkable similarity between the carvings found on the Ingá Stone and the indigenous artwork found on Easter Island. A recent study by Telma Costa takes the language theory one step further by arguing that besides the verification of the origin of languages that evidently derived from the botanical knowledge, the Ingá stone reveals an ancient people’s knowledge of the fertilization and crossing of the Ingazeira (a type of Brazilian tree). “The flower of the angiosperm species that, as biologists usually present in their cyclic schemes, is found in the middle of the ground so that we can see its interior and the way in which a double fertilization of the species occurs, is described in the stone of the Ingá. This means that the stone of the Ingá brings in its curious figures nothing more than symbols representative of the lunar cycles referring to the time and the double fertilization of the angiosperm, referring to the flower of the Ingazeira,” he writes.
