A naked statue of Donald Trump, complete with a distended belly and jowly sneer, is to go on display at a Haunted Museum after a paranormal investigator bought it at auction. Julien’s Auctions announced Wednesday it sold the artwork — believed to be the last of the controversial statues not vandalized or destroyed — for $28,000 (23,000 euros) at its biannual auction in Los Angeles. The infamous statue by a West Coast anarchist collective is one of a series depicting the 45th president in the nude but without testicles. In August 2016 — during Trump’s then improbable bid for the White House — the statues appeared in public spaces in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Seattle and Cleveland, garnering international attention. The four other naked Trumps — titled “The Emperor Has No Balls” were confiscated or destroyed. In one cheeky response, New York officials pointed to regulations banning “any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small.” The sole surviving copy was rescued by La Luz de Jesus Gallery on Hollywood Boulevard before it could be taken and melted down. Buyer Zak Bagans — a paranormal investigator and American television personality — intends to put the fleshy Trump on show at his Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, according to a statement from Julien’s...CONTINUE READING
A man who claims to be from the future has incredibly claimed that aliens will not destroy Earth – but instead will become trusted allies. Noah, a self-proclaimed time traveler, made the astonishing claim in a recent interview. A phone caller asked: “Is the US in an alliance with aliens from 2030?” Noah replied: “Yeah they are, so the aliens are practically allies with the whole world except some religions that they must be dealt with and everything. “America is allies with them.” But Noah did not provide any details about how this unbelievable alliance would be arranged or when. He also said controversial US President Donald Trump would stay in office until 2024. The supposed time traveler did, however, say...CONTINUE READING
As the world marks ‘Alien Day’, no other case aside from Roswell in Ufology has attracted as much publicity as the Barney and Betty Hill abduction. The everyday American couple was driving home at night on September 19, 1961, when they spotted a bizarre oval craft with “11 smiling humanoids” in the window. These creatures in “shiny black suits and black hats” next appeared in the road, they claim. The next three hours were a complete blur. Strange things then started happening to the pair, who claimed their watches stopped working and compasses which they touched began spinning wildly. Ten days later Betty started having vivid dreams for five nights running about the missing period. Hypnosis revealed perhaps the most famous alleged alien abduction encounter, and the enduring image of large-eyed extraterrestrials which originates from Barney’s sketch.The couple recalled they were escorted to a disc-shaped craft, subjected to medical examinations by men about 5ft 5in tall who appeared nearly human but with a greyish colour skin...CONTINUE READING
Very few ghost stories start with an electricity bill sliding through the letterbox, but the freaky tale known to locals as "The Welsh Amityville" does. Mum Liz Sanders nearly lost it when she saw she owed £750 for the quarter - but the real horror set in later, when investigators claimed a Satanic ghost was responsible for running up the charge. She had recently moved to a remote farmhouse at the foot of the Brecon Beacons with her husband Bill and his son Damian (whose name should start ringing bells for any horror fans). But Liz and Bill's new home soon turned into a living nightmare: they claim demonic visions appeared at the foot of the bed, animals started dying all over the farm with no explanation, and weird bursts of light tore through the house in the dead of night. It was the autumn of 1989 when things started getting creepy, she explains in new Channel 4 show True Horror, a programme so disturbing it comes with a viewer discretion warning. The show dramatises and retells the trouser-ruining story of Liz's haunting at "Hellfire Farm", a tale which she claims is completely true, and...CONTINUE READING
Video footage shows the back of the bloke from Batumi, Georgia, whose name we do not know as he discusses his wild theory. He has decided to share his story with YouTube channel Paranormal Elite of what he believes to be an alien abduction. The conspiracy theorist claims to have been inside a UFO spaceship and face-to-face with extraterrestrial life. He revealed: “I went to a beach and took off my shoes and started to walk in the water. “Suddenly I noticed a light which was shining deep from the water.“And I saw something huge coming from the sea.” The conspiracist then claims to have been pulled inside a saucer-like spaceship...CONTINUE READING
A devastating space war has begun above Earth’s atmosphere already — according to wild claims online. Last month US president Donald Trump revealed plans to develop a “Space Force” to roam the solar system. The 71-year-old said: “Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea. “So think of that, Space Force, because we are spending a lot and we have a lot of private money coming in, tremendous.” And following the statement, claims have surfaced online that the US may have met its match in a battle above the skies. In a video posted on YouTube channel streetcap1, the skyline is dominated by a huge flash of light – that conspiracy theorist George Smith claims is evidence of an explosion. He then switches to a live camera in Mexico — where the incident was filmed — which reveals the Sun looking “abnormally large”. The description on the footage reads: “The Stereo Camera Ahead HI1 recorded what looked like an explosion far to the right of the Sun...CONTINUE READING
A former air hostess with 32S boobs says she now identifies as a black "African woman" after undergoing controversial tanning injection treatment. Martina BIG, from Germany,was born blonde-haired and light-skinned. She has already spent an estimated £50,000 on cosmetic surgery for her enormous bust which is believed to be the biggest in Europe. Yet those body enhancements were not enough as Martina bizarrely decided she wanted to change her ethnicity, vowing to get "darker and darker and see what the limits are." Thanks to a new medical procedure in the US, the ex-flight attendant has darkened her skin and has even traveled to Kenya to be baptised with a new Swahili name. She said: "One of my Kenyan friends told her pastor about my transformation to a black woman and told him how much I wanted to become a true African woman."...CONTINUE READING
Etched into the high desert of southern Peru more than a millennium ago, the enigmatic Nasca lines continue to capture our imagination. More than a thousand of these geoglyphs (literally, 'ground drawings') sprawl across the sandy soil of Nasca province, the remains of little-understood ritual practices that may have been connected to life-giving rain. Now, Peruvian archaeologists armed with drones have discovered more than 50 new examples of these mysterious desert monuments in adjacent Palpa province, traced onto the earth's surface in lines almost too fine to see with the human eye. In addition, archaeologists surveyed locally known geoglyphs with drones for the first time—mapping them in never-before-seen detail. Some of the newfound lines belong to the Nasca culture, which held sway in the area from 200 to 700 A.D. However, archaeologists suspect that the earlier Paracas and Topará cultures carved many of the newfound images between 500 B.C. and 200 A.D. Unlike the iconic Nasca lines—most of which are only visible from overhead—the older Paracas glyphs were laid down on hillsides, making them visible to villages below. The two cultures also pursued different artistic subjects: Nasca lines most often consist of lines or polygons, but many of the newfound Paracas figures depict humans. “Most of these figures are warriors,” says Peruvian archaeologist Luis Jaime Castillo Butters, the new glyphs' co-discoverer. “These ones could be spotted from a certain distance, so people had seen them, but over time, they were completely erased.”...CONTINUE READING
Eva Tiamat Medusa, from Bruni, Texas, claims she is the ‘most modified transgender person in the world’ splashing out on numerous procedures to become a dragon. Quitting her job as vice president of a bank several years ago, Eva began her transformation by getting scales before having her nose re-shaped, ears removed and the whites of her eyes stained green. Since being abandoned by her parents as a five-year-old, Eva says she was ‘born again’ when a western diamondback rattlesnake took her under its wing. Realising she wanted to morph into a reptile, her journey started when, while living as a man, Eva was diagnosed with HIV and became resolved not to die as a human. Eva now has eight horns on her forehead, her tongue bifurcated and her whole face tattooed meaning she is now known as Dragon Lady. Describing herself as ‘trans-species’, Eva no longer identifies as human but as a reptilian instead...CONTINUE READING
A professor at a Jesuit-run college in Massachusetts has faced criticism for his ‘radical’ reading of the New Testament, in which he suggests that Jesus was neither male nor female, and may have been a drag king. Elinor Reilly, a former student at the College of the Holy Cross, wrote an article about Professor Tat-Siong Benny Liew for the Fenwick Review. In the piece, she outlines in great detail the Chair of the New Testament Studies’ “unconventional approach to gender, sexuality, and race in the biblical texts”. Reilly cites a 2009 paper Liew co-authored entitled They Were All Together In One Place: Towards Minority Biblical Criticism. In the volume, he discussed the New Testament Gospel of John:...CONTINUE READING
In another interview with his longtime atheist friend, Eugenio Scalfari, Pope Francis claims that Hell does not exist and that condemned souls just "disappear." This is a denial of the 2,000-year-old teaching of the Catholic Church about the reality of Hell and the eternal existence of the soul. The interview between Scalfari and the Pope was published March 28, 2018 in La Repubblica. The relevant section on Hell was translated by the highly respected weblog, Rorate Caeli. The interview is headlined, "The Pope: It is an honor to be called revolutionary." (Il Papa: “È un onore essere chiamato rivoluzionario.") Scalfari says to the Pope, "Your Holiness, in our previous meeting you told me that our species will disappear in a certain moment and that God, still out of his creative force, will create new species. You have never spoken to me about the souls who died in sin and will go to hell to suffer it for eternity. You have however spoken to me of good souls, admitted to the contemplation of God. But what about bad souls? Where are they punished?" Pope Francis says, "They are not punished, those who repent obtain the forgiveness of God and enter the rank of souls who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear. There is no hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls."
Footage has revealed there is a thriving ecosystem supporting civilisation on Mars — according to wild claims. The clip appears to show a large group of objects on the planet’s surface spanning for miles. And another angle appears to reveal open parts of the area rumoured to be feeding zones for the animals. Speaking to Daily Star Online exclusively, conspiracy theorist Neal Evans claimed this is proof of life on the Red Planet — alongside an entire environment capable of supporting them. He said: “I believe this to be a habitable lush thriving ecosystem on Mars. “I studied the section of map for hours and compared it to birds-eye views of places on earth, and it seems to be next to the north pole. "The images are all low resolution, but you can see clear water lines, lakes, either vegetation or some type of life forms seeming to be dependant on the water source." Neal posted the original footage to his YouTube channel — named Disclose Screen — where he has received more than 3,300 hits. And viewers were sent into a frenzy over what they saw. One comment read: “We have seen bases on Mars, and a space fleet and now they are growing stuff.” And another added: “Well spotted. A real eye-opener. Hard to begin to imagine what is out there, and what discoveries will be made in life times to come.” And Neal believes this may only be the tip of the iceberg. He revealed later: “I have been studying Mars and its story for years — we only know what they allow us to know. “It's hard to say if this could be new life or a new thriving life, my guess is from what i have mapped out this could be a new ecosystem like an early earth, prehistoric life that naturally formed or had a kick start from who knows?” “Mars is a treasure trove of ancient history and mind blowing discoveries new and old, if Mars was obliterated due to a nuclear impact it was done for a reason.” Life on Mars Bombshell: Shock claim 'herd of animals' spotted on Red Planet
A daredevil inventor who believes the Earth is flat blasted himself around 570 metres (1,875ft) into the air in a rocket before landing with a bump. 'Mad' Mike Hughes, 61, a US limo driver from California, was slightly injured when his steam-powered rocket launch ended with a hard landing in the Mojave Desert on Saturday. "This thing wants to kill you 10 different ways," said Mr Hughes, who said the crash left him with an aching back. The daredevil blasted off shortly after 3pm local time with no countdown or fanfare. Mr Hughes reached an estimated 350mph before activating his parachute. He was forced to deploy a second chute as his rocket, emblazoned with the words "research flat earth", was falling too fast. The daredevil landed bluntly with the rocket's nose breaking in two places - as it was designed to do. "Am I glad I did it? Yeah. I guess," he said. "I'll feel it in the morning. I won't be able to get out of bed. At least I can go home and have dinner and see my cats tonight." Mr Hughes uses his Facebook page to address those who doubt his rocket-making skills and his theory that the Earth is flat. "Do I believe the Earth is shaped like a Frisbee? I believe it is," he said in one video. "Do I know for sure? No. That's why I want to go up in space." Mr Hughes had converted a mobile home into a ramp and worked on the rocket in his garage. The launch had been scheduled for November last year, but issues over land management and mechanical problems pushed the date back. Saturday's event was at risk but Mr Hughes pushed on despite his rocket losing steam and high winds. "I'm tired of people saying I chickened out and didn't build a rocket. I'm tired of that stuff. I manned up and did it," he said. A video of the launch was filmed by Noize Tv and uploaded to Mr Hughes's Facebook page. A shorter clip, which features a countdown set to Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, has been uploaded to YouTube. As hype around the experimental launch mounted, retired NASA astronaut Jerry Linenger told reporters he hoped Hughes "doesn't blow something up". Mr Linenger, who orbited the globe more than 2,000 times during four months in 1997, added: "Rocketry, as our private space companies found out, isn't as easy as it looks." Mr Hughes has a Gofundme page set up to raise money to help with his expenses. At the time of writing, it had raised $110 (£78) out of a $10,000 (£7,070) goal over the course of a month. The Saturday launch is "a wild stunt designed to raise awareness for my ultimate challenge, THE space launch," Mr Hughes explains on the money-raising site. He wants to build a "Rockoon," a rocket that is carried into the atmosphere by a gas-filled balloon, then separated from the balloon and lit. This rocket would take Hughes about 68 miles up.
Google Earth has exposed a number of mysterious creatures hiding deep underwater — according to online conspiracies. Cryptozoology is the study that seeks to validate the existence of extinct or folklore animals. And people who follow this research closely are often referred to as cryptids. In a video posted on YouTube, a channel named Mind Boggler made a compilation of some of the biggest claims made by the cryptid community. And since the video was uploaded, it has racked up more than 280,000 views and has certainly got the internet talking. Here, Daily Star Online breaks down some of the wildest claims...CONTINUE READING
Twitter is a hotbed of opinions - making it the perfect platform for conspiracy theorists and skeptics to publicly debate their points of view. The so-called 'Deep State' - the secret group of elite people said to be controlling the world - has been one of the most popular discussions of recent months. US President Donald Trump has been one of biggest names to take to the social network to give his view on the clandestine network of operators who allegedly control governments from behind the scenes. But thousands of others have also had their say, blaming 'Deep State' for all sorts of meddling across politics, entertainment and beyond...CONTINUE READING
Bizarre footage has emerged online that proves someone at Google is trying to spill secrets of what lies below the Antarctic ice — according to conspiracy theorists. In the clip, we see the moment a Youtuber uncovers the phenomenon. Using the popular website Google Earth, the video pinpoints where the mystery occurred. It shows Earth’s southernmost continent before the boffin behind the footage explains what happens next. As the weather setting is added to the display, suddenly everything changes. A large red X appears across the South Pole alongside an arrow appearing to point at something in the middle of the icy continent. The clip then zooms in to identify what could be hiding in this secret location, but all that can be observed is the white desert...CONTINUE READING
A chain of islands in the Pacific Ocean is home to a number of bizarre statues that represent ancient society — but one might have uncovered more than we thought we knew. Polynesia boasts a number of remote islands, each with its own history. The most well-known is Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, as it boasts the enormous Moai Statues. But a less popular, more peculiar site has escaped media attention. Temehea Tohua is located on the island of Nuku Hiva and was once home to inhabitants who lived within a crater of a volcano. Video footage shows the place littered with puzzling statues, which can be dated back to the year 1150. But what astonishes historians, even more, is what they represent. The figures show reptilian characteristics, with many looking like something out of a sci-fi film...CONTINUE READING

Many people now believe Deep State was involved in blowing up the buildings...CONTINUE READING
A team of archaeologists made the historical find in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. They are part of a 7,000-year-old burial mound off the coast of Venice, according to reports. The sacred ground below the sea contains the remains of at least six Native Americans, but “there’s probably going to be a lot more.” They are preserved in what appears to have been a peat-bottomed freshwater pond thousands of years ago. The artifacts below the murky water were found about 300 yards from shore and only about 21ft below the surface. The site dates back to the Early Archaic period, a time when Florida’s hunter-gatherers were living a more sedentary lifestyle, researchers said. It was first reported in 2016 when a diver picked up a barnacle-crusted jaw off the shore of Manasota Key. He reported the find to Florida’s Bureau of Archaeological Research, triggering an investigation...CONTINUE READING
