Archaeologist says Atlantis ruins found near Cadiz; giant tsunami likely caused its destruction

(Worthy Insights) – An archaeologist named Michael Donnellan announced a discovery that he believes could be the legendary lost city of Atlantis. Donnellan asserted that he found submerged structures off the coast of Cádiz, Spain, which correspond closely with the descriptions given by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.

Over the past eight years, Donnellan’s team conducted extensive research along the coastline near Cádiz, employing sonar and LiDAR technology. This research uncovered long, intersecting linear structures forming enormous concentric circular walls standing over six meters high. “We discovered long, linear structures intersecting on the seabed,” said Donnellan.

Spark of protest? Young men killed in Iran, crowds chant ‘death to the dictator’

(Worthy Insights) – Two young men were shot dead Tuesday night near the western Iranian city of Hamadan, as the regime struggles to suppress growing public dissent amid a widening crackdown. A video from their funeral Thursday shows crowds chanting “Death to the dictator,” highlighting a surge of public outrage.

During the funeral processions, hundreds of young Iranians gathered, chanting slogans against the regime and singing Iran’s pre-revolution national anthem. Among the chants: “They lied to us that America is the enemy – our enemies are right here.”

According to Fars News Agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iranian security forces suspected an SUV carrying three passengers near the Tarikh-Dareh area, about 10 kilometers (6 miles) southwest of Hamadan, around 2 a.m. local time. This followed a report of drone activity in the area. When the vehicle attempted to flee, the security forces first fired warning shots, then opened fire, killing two of the occupants and wounding the third. [ Source (Read More…) ]

CIA Review Blasts John Brennan’s Role In Launching Russian Collusion Hoax

(Worthy Insights) – The intelligence community assessment weaponized by Democrats, corporate media, and the deep state to carry the Russia collusion hoax into President Donald Trump’s first term was fueled by former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan. Now a new Central Intelligence Agency review concludes that Brennan overrode internal concerns to claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

The June 2025 review, commissioned by Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe in May, scrutinized the “highest classified version” of a December 2016 assessment titled “Russia’s Influence Campaign Targeting the 2016 US Presidential Election.”

It finds that the analysis touted by Brennan as evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin hoped to help his preferred political candidate Trump win the 2016 election was rushed, restricted in its access, and then far too widely disseminated for a highly classified report. Further, the report’s developers “marginalize[d]” the National Intelligence Council (NIC) and others to advance a partisan get Trump narrative. In fact, according to the review, the ICA had “a higher confidence level than was justified.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
