I was honoured to work with Martti Pärssinen, Alceu Ranzi and Fabio de Novaes to feature their spectacular LIDAR discoveries in the Amazon in Season 2 of my controversial Netflix docuseries Ancient Apocalypse (released October 2024). I have remained in close and friendly contact with the team and their ongoing work ever since and congratulate them on their newly published open-access paper in Nature which is linked at the end of the report in Science Alert below: sciencealert.com/completely-…

The only time in history we had decent living conditions for ordinary people was when we taxed the very rich. These two things are connected.

December 19th, 1981 - the #Penlee disaster was one of the greatest acts of courage in lifeboat history. This 2017 piece was written by @maxc73 who lost a relative in the doomed rescue of the Union Star coaster by the crew of the Solomon Browne plymouthherald.co.uk/news/lo…

Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this.

I like this: “similar to the UK henges, without stones” - very apt! Though, going by my knowledge of UK / North American archaeology, stone, or wooden posts were common additions to early solstice sites. I’d put money on them finding evidence of ‘em!

There are thousands of monuments in the Northeast of North America that should be saved too.

A fire the size of Denmark burns Brazil's rainforest. This is just the tip of a (rapidly melting) iceberg. The Amazon is on fire. There's so much smoke in Bolivia archaeologist @Umba_moxos hasn't seen the sky for months #amazononfire #archaeology express.co.uk/news/world/196…

Good article by @maxc73 sharing some of the truths about this (frankly silly) Gobekli Tepe gossip. Thanks for the write up I think it's important to keep educating the public on the methods, challenges, and relevance of archaeology
Archaeologists @drleeclare and @FlintDibble say much we have heard about Göbekli Tepe is probably wrong and explain why excavation is taking so long. @BrightInsight6 suggests WEF is part of conspiracy to keep the truth about civilisation's origins buried. express.co.uk/news/world/194…

SHOCKING - OUTRAGEOUS: In case you missed this today, President Biden's National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, argued that it's not in the American people's national security interest to require a warrant for surveillance. He's rejecting a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) amendment that mandates a warrant for spying on Americans. He said it is not in the interest of the American people not to be spied on without a court warrant. WATCH

There is no conspiracy Steve. I'm surprised the #loancharge hasn't gained more media attention. Perhaps it is simply regarded as an obscure/complex topic? At a time when lots of other scandals are demanding attention?

As people are showing an interest in #LoanCharge scandal, due to exposure generated by the unconnected #PostOfficeScandal I'm going to post some threads that I have done over years. There have now been 10 suicides & 13 attempted suicides. 8 Tweet thread xitter.cf/nobigfish/status/12372…
1. #LoanCharge Why don't we discuss @HMRCgovuk 's own admission that the Loan Schemes that 1000s used were legal. This admission is evidenced by the language they have used, not once is legality mentioned, and by the fact that in 20yrs they have not taken 1 promoter to court.

Mustn't forget the excellent coverage by @maxc73 on the #LoanCharge. I hope he is now kicking the crap out of the cancer he has, wishing you all the best Max.
