Inside the Mexican drug cartels - how to live rich in a poor country

Drug cartels are criminal organizations developed primarily for the purpose of promoting and controlling drug trafficking operations (but have expanded into other areas including arms dealing, prostitution, and human slavery). Whereas they once agreed to cooperate with each other in the production and distribution of drugs, they now war with each other on a regular basis.

Translation of 1,200-year-old Egyptian manuscript reveals Jesus could change his appearance and shape at will

A set of 1,200-year-old ancient Coptic Egyptian texts was discovered many years ago in the library of an abandoned monastery in the Egyptian desert. The text is interesting, not because it proposes that the strange series of events really happened, but rather because it demonstrates what some people believed at that time – and apparently two-thousand years ago some people thought Jesus would, on occasion, make himself invisible and change his appearance at will, a “shapeshifter” so-to-speak.

Wave of unusual deaths leaves many wondering - "Who's killing our bankers?"

More than a half-dozen dead in less than two weeks. Police classified the deaths are suicides even though the causes of death remain vague and in some cases undetermined. The dead died violently but none died via self-inflicted gunshots, the method preferred by nearly 90% of all male suicide victims. And all were prominent financial executives – some working for companies with reported ties to governmental intelligence gathering organizations; others working for institutions that many believe are a part of a vast financial criminal conspiracy.

Another intriguing UFO discovered in Taiwan Google Street View photo (verified by Altered Dimensions)

You’d think that Google Street View cars would occasionally capture pictures of UFOs. Think about it. Dozens of cars driving all over the planet snapping random pictures of the geography for several hours each day – they’re bound to capture an odd, unexpected object in the sky from time to time. And they do. Another report emerged today on YouTube pointing out a UFO captured in a Google Street View photo shot over a Taiwan Air Force Base. The photograph is intriguing and Altered Dimensions verified that the photo is indeed in a Google Street View frame (see below). However, whatever was captured in the photo appears in only one, single frame – it is not found in either the frame before or after.
