Who is Major General William Neil McCaslin and why did he go missing?

Major General William Neil McCaslin was the former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, the institution that funded development of Monda alloy, a classified nickel superalloy used in US rocket engines. His wife woke up one morning to find him gone, having left behind his phone and glasses but taken his wallet, revolver, and hiking boots. Congressman Tim Burchett and UAP whistleblower David Grusch had both been actively trying to reach McCaslin because they believed he held information relevant to UAP disclosure. His disappearance has not been publicly explained.

What did Congressman Tim Burchett say about UAP briefings?

Burchett, a sitting Tennessee congressman and member of the UFO subcommittee, stated on camera that he had been briefed approximately two weeks prior on information that would cause the country to come unglued if it became public. He said he had been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is, and added that the people who know what is going on are dying or disappearing. He said the information needs to be fully disclosed and that the cover-up keeps continuing.

What was found on Jeffrey Epstein's nightstand in the DOJ document release?

A photograph from the recent Department of Justice document drop, which I believe shows Epstein's nightstand in his New York mansion, contains skin care products, cotton pads, a framed photograph that appears to show Epstein without clothing, a baby photo of Epstein, Voss water, a small decorative hand-shaped object, an old clock, a telephone, what appears to be a book with pages brown enough to date to the 1600s, and a stuffed animal. The drawer contained two handheld audio dictation recorders. To my knowledge the audio cassettes in those recorders have not been publicly transcribed.

Why didn't the Californian rescue Titanic passengers if it was only 20 miles away?

The Californian's radio operator, Cyril Evans, had gone to bed at approximately 11:10 p.m. after being rebuffed by Titanic operator Jack Phillips, who told him to 'keep out' because the Californian's signal was blasting into his ears at full volume. Evans switched off his equipment before Titanic struck the iceberg at 11:43 p.m. There was no 24-hour radio watch requirement at the time. The Californian's captain could physically see Titanic from the deck but did not attempt a rescue. Had Evans stayed on duty one more hour, the Californian could have reached Titanic while passengers were still alive.

What are the terms of the Iran ceasefire according to the Associated Press?

According to the Associated Press, sourced to an official directly involved in the negotiations, Iran and Oman are permitted to charge for passage through the Strait of Hormuz during the ceasefire period, with the stated purpose being reconstruction funding. An analyst I covered put the probability of a subsequent US ground troop deployment at more than 50%, with the most likely landing zone near the Pakistan border and an estimated force size of between 2,000 and 10,000 troops.

What happened to Luciano D'Amo after his car accident in 2019?

Luciano D'Amo, a 63-year-old Italian man, was hit by a car on February 6th, 2019. When he regained consciousness in the hospital, he believed it was March 20th, 1980, and that he was 24 years old. He did not recognize his wife or sons, asked doctors to call his mother only to be told she had already died, and was completely unfamiliar with cell phones, GPS, and the internet. As of the most recent reporting, none of his memories from the intervening 39 years have ever returned.

Who is Robert Morris and what was he convicted of?

Robert Morris is identified as Donald Trump's spiritual advisor. He was convicted on five counts of indecent acts with a minor and served six months in prison before being released. The offenses occurred in the late 1980s when Morris was staying at a family's home as a traveling evangelist. The victim was 12 years old at the time.

What happened during the Great Emu War in Australia?

In the 1930s, approximately 20,000 emus invaded farmland in Western Australia following the Great Depression, destroying crops that farmers depended on. The Australian government deployed Major Meredith and a military unit equipped with machine guns. Over two separate campaigns lasting roughly a month combined, the army killed approximately 1,000 emus out of 20,000. The emus dispersed into small mobile units with sentries, outran army trucks, and effectively neutralized the military operation. The government eventually withdrew the army, introduced bounties, and built extensive fencing across the country. The emus are generally considered to have won.

Missing Scientists, UAP Disclosure, and the Epstein Nightstand: What the Files Actually Show

// TL;DR

Since July 2024, at least 12 nuclear and space scientists have gone missing or died under suspicious circumstances in the United States, including Major General William Neil McCaslin, who commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory and was being contacted by Congressman Tim Burchett and UAP whistleblower David Grusch. I also pulled the recent DOJ document drop on Jeffrey Epstein's New York mansion and walked through what was on his nightstand, including audio recorders whose contents have apparently never been transcribed. Three sitting politicians, Congresswoman Luna, Matt Gaetz, and Burchett, are now publicly stating they've been briefed on UAP information that would, in Burchett's words, cause the country to come unglued.

// CHAPTERS

0:00Missing Scientists and the Disappearance Rate Nobody Talks About — I open by pulling US missing-persons statistics, 500,000 to 600,000 per year with 30,000 to 50,000 never found, and explain that eight to twelve nuclear and space scientists have gone missing or died mysteriously since July 2024, which is what started me looking at the numbers.
2:20Major General McCaslin: The Missing Man at the Center of UAP Disclosure — I cover the disappearance of Major General William Neil McCaslin, former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, who was being actively contacted by Congressman Burchett and David Grusch about UAP information he was believed to hold.
5:27UAP Smoking Gun: Pilots, Tic Tac, and the Binary Question — I play commentary on whether a genuine smoking-gun document exists proving extraterrestrial visitation, covering pilot sightings, intelligence analyst assessments, and the Tic Tac encounter alongside Roswell and Rendlesham Forest.
6:59Inside Epstein's Nightstand: The DOJ Drop Nobody Fully Read — I work through a photograph from the recent DOJ document release showing the contents of what I believe to be Jeffrey Epstein's nightstand in his New York mansion, including audio recorders, an apparently 1600s-era book, a stuffed animal, and a baby photo of Epstein.
13:38Underground Cities Across the United States — I catalogue documented underground infrastructure in Los Angeles, New York, Kansas City's SubTropolis, and Las Vegas tunnel networks, noting that people have been living in the Vegas tunnels for decades and that these systems have obvious utility beyond their stated purposes.
15:00Titanic's Radio Failure: The Seven-Hour Decision That Saved 700 Lives — I trace the precise chain of Marconi wireless decisions on April 14th to 15th, 1912, from Phillips and Bride's unauthorized seven-hour repair, to the dismissed warning from the Californian, to the moment Harold Cottam on the Carpathia almost went to bed without sending one last message.
18:54Congressman Burchett's UAP Briefing: Three Politicians, One Script — I play Burchett's on-camera statement that a briefing two weeks prior contained information that would cause the country to come unglued, then note that Congresswoman Luna, Matt Gaetz, and Burchett are delivering what sounds like coordinated UAP messaging from different platforms.
24:39Iran Ceasefire Terms and the Ground Invasion Probability — I cover the Associated Press report that Iran and Oman can charge for Strait of Hormuz passage under the ceasefire, and play an analyst's assessment putting the probability of a US ground troop deployment to the Pakistan-border region at more than 50%.
27:17Luciano D'Amo: Waking Up 39 Years Later — I cover the case of 63-year-old Italian man Luciano D'Amo, who was hit by a car on February 6th, 2019, regained consciousness believing it was March 20th, 1980, and to this day has not recovered a single memory from the intervening 39 years.
30:10Northeast UFO Fireball: Not a Meteor, According to Witnesses — I report a fireball sighted over New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Delaware that mainstream outlets are calling a meteor, but which multiple witnesses, including one of my own followers, describe as a structured craft rather than a natural object.
32:36Kobe Lamb's Divorce Play: The $10 Million Reversal — I lay out how Kobe Lamb, the TikToker who sold his likeness for $975 million and held zero assets in his own name, ended up with a judge ordering his wife to hand him half of her $10 million fortune after she filed for divorce in 2025.
34:01The Great Emu War: How Australia Lost to Birds — I cover the 1930s Great Emu War in Western Australia, where Major Meredith's military force deployed machine guns against 20,000 emus and managed to eliminate roughly 1,000 over a month before the government withdrew, with the emus ultimately winning via tactical dispersion and outrunning the army's trucks.
36:39Plex's Honduras Retreat Disaster — I recount how Plex CEO Keith Failer's Survivor-themed Honduras retreat for 120 fully remote employees immediately collapsed: Failer got E. coli, employees passed out in 100-degree heat during Navy SEAL drills, a porcupine fell through a ceiling, and some staff were stranded overnight on the island.
47:01Robert Morris and Deepak Chopra: Spiritual Advisors and the Epstein Connection — I report that Robert Morris, described as Trump's spiritual advisor, was released from prison after six months for five counts of indecent acts with a 12-year-old in the late 1980s, and connect this to Deepak Chopra's appearance in the Epstein files with a message reading 'God is a construct, cute girls are real.'

The Missing Scientists Cluster: Twelve Dead or Disappeared Since July 2024

Between 500,000 and 600,000 people go missing every year in the United States, and that is only reported cases. Of those, at least 10% remain unsolved, meaning somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 people are never located. No remains, nothing.

I started thinking about those numbers because of the scientists. Since July 2024, at least 12 nuclear and space scientists have gone missing or died under what I would describe as suspicious circumstances. That is not a phrase I use loosely. The cluster is specific enough to the field, and specific enough to the timeline, that coincidence is a hard sell.

On the map I pulled, the states with the highest frequency of missing persons cases are clearly visible. National parks account for some of this, but only a fraction of the total. The broader numbers are the story.

Major General William Neil McCaslin: The Disappearance Burchett and Grusch Were Chasing

The most significant missing person in this cluster, at least from an intelligence standpoint, is Major General William Neil McCaslin. His wife woke up and he was gone. He left his phone and his glasses behind, but he took his wallet, his revolver, and his hiking boots. No trace since.

McCaslin commanded the Air Force Research Laboratory, the institution that funded development of Monda alloy, a classified nickel superalloy now built into American rocket engines. Congressman Tim Burchett and UAP whistleblower David Grusch were both actively trying to reach him because they believed he held information relevant to UAP disclosure.

Two other people connected to McCaslin have also gone missing or died. Dallas Hartwick died in 2014. A search party using thermal imaging found nothing. One witness said she was 30 feet away, turned, waved, and then was simply gone. This one stays buried. Something else comes along, everyone moves on, and that is probably the point.

UAP Disclosure: The Binary Question and the Tic Tac Evidence

The framing I keep coming back to on UAP disclosure is that it is genuinely binary. There either is or is not a smoking-gun document somewhere in the files that proves extraterrestrial visitation. Everything else, pilot sightings, intelligence community assessments, the US Navy's Tic Tac encounter footage, is circumstantial context around that central question.

From Roswell to the Rendlesham Forest incident to the declassified Navy videos, the public record is already substantial. What has not been released are the unredacted versions. The pattern of redacted documents followed by official denials, particularly on Roswell, is consistent enough to be its own kind of signal.

I am not asserting there are aliens. I am noting that the documented record of suppressed information is extensive, and that the people now publicly saying the withheld material is significant are sitting members of Congress with committee access, not anonymous sources.

The Epstein Nightstand: What the DOJ Drop Actually Shows

The recent Department of Justice document release includes a photograph of what I believe is Jeffrey Epstein's nightstand in his New York mansion. I went through it item by item. On the right: skin care products, cotton pads, a framed photograph that appears to show Epstein on a beach without clothing, and his glasses.

Center: a baby photograph of Epstein himself, Voss water, and a small hand-shaped object holding something I could not identify. Left side: an old clock, what looks like a remote, an old telephone, and a book whose pages are so brown it appears to date to the 1600s. Sitting on top, a stuffed animal.

In the drawer: two audio recorders of the dictation variety, the kind you hold and speak into throughout the day. I have not seen any reporting confirming that the audio cassettes in those recorders were ever transcribed. If they were not, that is a gap in the public record that matters. Those recordings would be Epstein narrating his own operation. The items on that nightstand, taken together with what he was convicted of, paint a picture I do not need to spell out.

US Underground Cities: Los Angeles, New York, SubTropolis, and Las Vegas

There is a network of tunnels under Los Angeles constructed in the 1920s, over a century old. New York has miles of abandoned subway tunnels extending well beyond the active system. Kansas City has what they call SubTropolis, an underground network with roads, high ceilings, and climate control large enough that it functions as a small city.

In Nevada, the Las Vegas tunnel network was built to handle monsoon flooding and has been used as housing by people living underground for decades. These are four documented examples. There are more. The Midwest town my father used to live near had its own, small enough that you would never know it existed if you were not local.

The practical utility of these systems in a crisis scenario is obvious. If the people who run things needed to move populations or personnel underground quickly, the infrastructure already exists. I am not asserting that is the plan. I am noting it is not impossible.

Titanic's Marconi Wireless Failure: The Seven-Hour Repair That Saved 700 Lives

The day before Titanic sank, the Marconi wireless broke down due to a short circuit. Standard Marconi protocol was to set the equipment aside and wait for a replacement at the next port. Instead, Jack Phillips and his 22-year-old assistant Harold Bride spent seven hours fixing it themselves. That decision saved more than 700 lives, and neither man knew it yet.

Here is the detail most people miss. Phillips and Bride did not work for White Star Line. They worked for Marconi. Their primary job was transmitting personal passenger messages, not relaying weather warnings to the captain. Only messages with the MSG prefix were taken directly to the bridge. When the Californian radioed in at 11:10 p.m. warning that it was completely blocked by an impassable ice field, that message never reached the captain because it lacked the MSG prefix.

The Californian's signal also blasted into Phillips' ears at full volume because the ship was so close. Phillips fired back with KAOM, 'keep out, old man,' which was standard banter between operators. Twenty minutes later, Californian radio operator Cyril Evans switched off his equipment and went to bed. At 11:43 p.m., Titanic hit the iceberg. Evans had no idea. The Californian was 20 miles away. The Carpathia was 58 miles away. Harold Cottam on the Carpathia, exhausted after a 7:00 a.m. start, decided to send one last message before signing off. The response: 'Come at once, we struck a berg. It's a CQD, old man.' That is the only reason anyone survived.

Congressman Burchett's UAP Briefing: Three Politicians, One Script

Tim Burchett, sitting congressman from Tennessee and member of the UFO subcommittee, stated on camera that he was briefed two weeks prior on information that would cause the country to come unglued if it became public. He said the people who know are dying or disappearing, then caught himself. That is not a throwaway line from a backbencher. That is a committee member with security clearance speaking on record.

Matt Gaetz, separately, claimed he had been briefed by a uniformed US Army officer on the locations of hybrid alien-human breeding programs. Gaetz said the briefing described captured aliens in forced breeding programs with humans abducted from war zones and migrant caravans.

Congresswoman Luna is the third. Three politicians, same general framework, same timeline, different platforms. When elected officials with classified access start coordinating that publicly on a topic this specific, the question I keep asking is not what they are revealing. It is what they are redirecting you from.

Iran Ceasefire Terms: What the Associated Press Source Actually Said

According to the Associated Press, sourced to an official directly involved in the negotiations, Iran and Oman are permitted to charge for Strait of Hormuz passage during the ceasefire period. The stated rationale is reconstruction funding, though the reporting is unclear on what Oman specifically gets or what it will use the money for.

The framing I heard from one analyst was blunt: this may be the most humiliating ceasefire outcome yet for Donald Trump. The terms, as reported, are structured in a way that benefits Iran. Iranian state media's characterization of what was agreed, which would normally invite skepticism, appears to be accurate in this case.

On the question of ground troops, the same analyst put the probability of a US ground deployment at more than 50%, with the most likely landing zone being a narrow corridor near the Pakistan border, accommodating between 2,000 and 10,000 troops. The analyst said he hoped it did not happen, then noted that hope is not a strategy. Ceasefires are documents. Documents do not stop boots.

Luciano D'Amo: The Italian Man Who Lost 39 Years

On February 6th, 2019, a 63-year-old Italian man named Luciano D'Amo was hit by a car. He lost consciousness. When he woke up in the hospital, he believed it was March 20th, 1980, and that he was 24 years old.

His wife and sons came to visit him and he thought them strangers. He could not understand how a grown man could be his son. He asked doctors to call his mother and was told she had died a few years earlier. Cell phones, GPS, the internet: all completely unfamiliar. He had to be reintroduced to the world from scratch.

To this day, none of his memories from those 39 years have returned. There is no playbook for that.

Northeast UFO Fireball: What Witnesses Over New Jersey Said It Looked Like

A fireball was reported over the northeastern United States, seen across New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Delaware by hundreds of people. Mainstream media called it a meteor. One of my followers who was outside with his wife when it passed told me something different: they have seen meteors before, and this did not look like one. It looked like a craft.

Multiple witnesses, not just that one account, are on record saying the object was structured and did not behave like a natural fireball. The trajectory is documented. I am not claiming it was an extraterrestrial spacecraft. UFO means unidentified flying object, full stop. But the gap between what the media called it and what the people who saw it described is worth noting.

At this rate, fireballs need their own weather category.

Kobe Lamb's Divorce Reversal: Zero Assets, $5 Million Outcome

Kobe Lamb, described as the most popular TikToker currently operating, sold his likeness for $975 million. He was deported by ICE in 2025. In the same year, his wife filed for divorce and attempted to claim half his fortune.

The judge ruled against her. Not because he was clever in the moment, but because there was nothing to claim. No home, no car, no bank accounts in his name. Every asset he controlled was registered in his father's name, meaning legally it did not belong to him. Under divorce law, you cannot take what is not there.

The result: the judge ruled that she owed him half of her $10 million fortune. I am not calling this the smartest financial strategy in history. But the structure clearly predated the divorce, which means someone was thinking ahead.

The Great Emu War: How Australia's Military Lost to 20,000 Birds

In the 1930s, roughly 20,000 emus descended on farmland in Western Australia. This was post-Depression, and the crops they were destroying were not optional. The farmers went to the government, the government deployed Major Meredith and a machine gun unit, and the result was one of the most documented military embarrassments in modern history.

Day one, Meredith's forces opened fire and the emus scattered at full speed. Army trucks could not keep pace. By the end of day one, the kill count was approximately 12. Meredith's own report apparently referred to it as 'a good amount.' By the end of the second campaign, after about a month, the total was roughly 1,000 out of 20,000. The emus had developed counter-tactics: small dispersed units with a designated sentry watching while the rest ate.

The government had brought a camera crew to document the operation as a demonstration of strength, partly to show Western Australia, which wanted to separate from the federation, that it needed federal protection. The footage went public and became an international embarrassment. The government withdrew the army, added bounties, and ultimately built fences across large sections of the country. The emus got their side of Australia. That was the negotiated end state.

Plex's Honduras Retreat: E. Coli, Navy SEALs, and a Porcupine Through the Ceiling

Plex CEO Keith Failer, a fan of the show Survivor, planned a week-long retreat in Honduras for all 120 of the company's fully remote employees. The employees were told it would be a relaxing tropical getaway. It was not.

Failer contracted E. coli from a bad salad on the first day, lost 10 pounds, and was out of commission for the trip. The employees were met by a former Navy SEAL who ran drills in 100-degree heat. The SEAL noted he went easy on them because he had never seen a group that unfit before. People started passing out. One employee fell on a fire ant hill and required an antihistamine injection. The co-founder developed heart palpitations and needed an ambulance. A porcupine fell through a senior engineer's ceiling while he slept. Some employees were stranded overnight on the island when it got dark too quickly. Everyone was eaten by sand fleas.

The employees said it was one of the most fun trips they had ever taken and that it bonded the team. I have one word for the entire itinerary: hell.

Robert Morris, Deepak Chopra, and the Pattern of High-Status Spiritual Advisors

Robert Morris, identified as Donald Trump's spiritual advisor, was released from prison after serving six months. He had been convicted on five counts of indecent acts with a minor. The offenses occurred in the late 1980s when Morris was a traveling evangelist staying at the victim's family home. The victim was 12 years old.

I placed this alongside two other cases. John of God, Oprah Winfrey's spiritual advisor, was convicted of multiple offenses. Deepak Chopra appeared in the Epstein files, and a message from Chopra to Epstein reads: 'God is a construct, cute girls are real.' Chopra was clearly in Epstein's orbit.

The pattern I keep seeing is not spiritual practice itself. It is what happens when men with significant public platforms for teaching self-discipline and higher consciousness are introduced to people like Epstein and the lifestyle that comes with that access. Knowledge without integration is just vocabulary. These cases are what that looks like in practice.

I identified McKamey as the owner of McKamey Manor, noting that the only entry fee is a bag of dog food for his dogs, and that the attraction was still operating as of 2023.
Ilha do Mel
Place
I covered witness Sarah De Lite's account of two roughly 10-foot-tall silhouetted figures moving at unnatural speed along a steep hilltop on Brazil's Ilha do Mel island, footage that sparked online debate between alien-encounter and optical-illusion explanations.
Iran
Place
I reported on a ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States, citing Associated Press sourcing that Iran and Oman were permitted to charge for Strait of Hormuz passage during the ceasefire, which an analyst put at more than 50% probability of being followed by a US ground troop deployment.
Strait of Hormuz
Place
I noted the Strait of Hormuz as the waterway Iran and Oman were permitted to levy passage charges on under the terms of the reported ceasefire agreement.
Associated Press
Organization
I cited the Associated Press as the outlet whose source, directly involved in the Iran ceasefire negotiations, confirmed the terms allowing Iran and Oman to charge for Hormuz passage.
Great Saint James Island

UFO Subcommittee
Organization
I referenced the UFO subcommittee as the congressional body Burchett sits on, the role that gave his UAP briefing claims particular weight in my analysis.
Kobe Lamb
Person
I covered Lamb as the TikToker who held no assets in his own name, was deported by ICE in 2025, had his wife file for divorce in 2025, and as a result of that asset structure had a judge rule that his wife owed him half of her $10 million fortune.
Major Meredith
Person
I covered Meredith as the Australian military officer tasked with eliminating approximately 20,000 emus during the 1930s Great Emu War in Western Australia, a campaign that ended with the army withdrawing after taking out roughly 1,000 birds from the original 20,000.
Great Emu War
Event
I recounted the Great Emu War of the 1930s in Western Australia, in which the Australian government deployed machine guns and Major Meredith's forces against approximately 20,000 emus raiding farmland, ultimately losing the engagement and resorting to bounties and fencing.

// FAQ

Who is Major General William Neil McCaslin and why did he go missing?: Major General William Neil McCaslin was the former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, the institution that funded development of Monda alloy, a classified nickel superalloy used in US rocket engines. His wife woke up one morning to find him gone, having left behind his phone and glasses but taken his wallet, revolver, and hiking boots. Congressman Tim Burchett and UAP whistleblower David Grusch had both been actively trying to reach McCaslin because they believed he held information relevant to UAP disclosure. His disappearance has not been publicly explained.
What did Congressman Tim Burchett say about UAP briefings?: Burchett, a sitting Tennessee congressman and member of the UFO subcommittee, stated on camera that he had been briefed approximately two weeks prior on information that would cause the country to come unglued if it became public. He said he had been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is, and added that the people who know what is going on are dying or disappearing. He said the information needs to be fully disclosed and that the cover-up keeps continuing.
What was found on Jeffrey Epstein's nightstand in the DOJ document release?: A photograph from the recent Department of Justice document drop, which I believe shows Epstein's nightstand in his New York mansion, contains skin care products, cotton pads, a framed photograph that appears to show Epstein without clothing, a baby photo of Epstein, Voss water, a small decorative hand-shaped object, an old clock, a telephone, what appears to be a book with pages brown enough to date to the 1600s, and a stuffed animal. The drawer contained two handheld audio dictation recorders. To my knowledge the audio cassettes in those recorders have not been publicly transcribed.
Why didn't the Californian rescue Titanic passengers if it was only 20 miles away?: The Californian's radio operator, Cyril Evans, had gone to bed at approximately 11:10 p.m. after being rebuffed by Titanic operator Jack Phillips, who told him to 'keep out' because the Californian's signal was blasting into his ears at full volume. Evans switched off his equipment before Titanic struck the iceberg at 11:43 p.m. There was no 24-hour radio watch requirement at the time. The Californian's captain could physically see Titanic from the deck but did not attempt a rescue. Had Evans stayed on duty one more hour, the Californian could have reached Titanic while passengers were still alive.
What are the terms of the Iran ceasefire according to the Associated Press?: According to the Associated Press, sourced to an official directly involved in the negotiations, Iran and Oman are permitted to charge for passage through the Strait of Hormuz during the ceasefire period, with the stated purpose being reconstruction funding. An analyst I covered put the probability of a subsequent US ground troop deployment at more than 50%, with the most likely landing zone near the Pakistan border and an estimated force size of between 2,000 and 10,000 troops.
What happened to Luciano D'Amo after his car accident in 2019?: Luciano D'Amo, a 63-year-old Italian man, was hit by a car on February 6th, 2019. When he regained consciousness in the hospital, he believed it was March 20th, 1980, and that he was 24 years old. He did not recognize his wife or sons, asked doctors to call his mother only to be told she had already died, and was completely unfamiliar with cell phones, GPS, and the internet. As of the most recent reporting, none of his memories from the intervening 39 years have ever returned.
Who is Robert Morris and what was he convicted of?: Robert Morris is identified as Donald Trump's spiritual advisor. He was convicted on five counts of indecent acts with a minor and served six months in prison before being released. The offenses occurred in the late 1980s when Morris was staying at a family's home as a traveling evangelist. The victim was 12 years old at the time.
What happened during the Great Emu War in Australia?: In the 1930s, approximately 20,000 emus invaded farmland in Western Australia following the Great Depression, destroying crops that farmers depended on. The Australian government deployed Major Meredith and a military unit equipped with machine guns. Over two separate campaigns lasting roughly a month combined, the army killed approximately 1,000 emus out of 20,000. The emus dispersed into small mobile units with sentries, outran army trucks, and effectively neutralized the military operation. The government eventually withdrew the army, introduced bounties, and built extensive fencing across the country. The emus are generally considered to have won.
