🚨 URGENT 🚨
Retired Royal Air Force Police Dog Cyryl needs a new home

5 years young, Cyryl, who I’ve been told identifies as a potato… and honestly, I know a fair few RAF hoomans who do too 🥔😂

Cyryl absolutely hated kennels. Rather than force him to cope, the RAF made the right call and gave him early retirement 🥹💙
Now, 7 months on, he’s much preferring his new pace of life but needs a little more structure

So here’s where we need help.

Cyryl thrives on structure and routine, it’s essential for his wellbeing.
Due to a change in family circumstances, his current home can no longer provide the consistency he needs.

He is a good dog. A really good dog.
But he’s struggling to adjust to the pace and unpredictability of civilian life — and with emotions running high, everyone is feeling that pressure.

He can be reactive to other dogs, but this isn’t the full picture —
he worked alongside other dogs during his military career. He just needs the right guidance, time, and understanding to settle.

⚠️ He absolutely cannot live in kennels ⚠️

What he needs is:
A calm, structured home
Someone committed to routine
Patience, understanding, and consistency
A handler mindset — not just a pet home

Hero Paws will support you every step of the way, alongside his previous trainers.
You will not be doing this alone.

This boy has served. He has given everything asked of him.

Now, he just needs someone to show up for him.

👉 Please reach out if you can help us find Cyryl his forever home.

@TheGriftReport @hobbycraft as of yday, I won't miss the Team Valley store if/when it goes. Was going to visit to buy knitting supplies but got online (& delivered overnight) after reading this shocking report. Will do likewise for painting, tapestry & other crafting supplies.Appalling incident

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

It’s time for the government and local councils to do the following:

🚜 Schools & hospitals to be supplied by local farms providing fresh food rather than contracts going to corporations (who have no link to local communities) and who supply ultra processed food.

🚜 £2.4 billion of food contracts are supplied to the public sector. Local farmers should be receiving this first.

🚜 Add into the schools curriculum to educate children about farming, how to grow your own food & the benefits of healthy eating & home cooking classes.

🚜 School visits to local farm suppliers.

It’s time for a local food revolution.

This will make local communities in Britain healthier, more sustainable and strengthen the relationship between the local food suppliers (farming and fishing) and the public at large.

Absolutely disgusting that @Butlins suspended the security guards who removed 5 MEN from the women’s toilet. Butlins is meant to be a family venue!! Thesecurity guards did the right thing.. Boycott Butlins until they reinstate the security and make toilets safe for females !!

Suddenly I gained another 500 followers, so for their sake, I'll briefly summarize what the game is all about here. It seems we're going to rewrite the first few chapters of human history.

What started as "let's figure out how the unfinished obelisk in Aswan was made" has evolved in a direction where we can now confidently say the past didn't happen the way we thought.

Our ancestors were apparently capable of chemically altering stones, dissolving them, and then reassembling them. The evidence for this is that countless others besides me have done this, and it works, and it’s not even hard to do.

Unfortunately, there's no need for UFOs or ancient advanced civilizations to transport stone blocks of, say, 20-25 tons, or God forbid, 1000 tons. They weren’t hauling the stone blocks around, but just the raw material. In buckets.

The megalithic structures are masonry works, just that the mortar is a completely different material than what we use today. What could it be?

First Act

When I started to decipher the secret of the Aswan unfinished obelisk, I naturally had no intention of rewriting the early history of humanity. This realization came later. The mystery of the unfinished obelisk lies in the mysterious scoop marks, approximately 50x50 cm indentations, which look as though someone gouged out the granite with a giant ice cream scoop.

The official explanation is completely wrong, I won’t even go into that, it’s nonsense.

However, my experiment was successful, and indeed, I was able to chemically etch the supposedly indestructible granite with simple tools in my own backyard. All it took was a grill chimney starter, some charcoal, and - natron.

As it turned out, modern humanity of course knows that molten natron dissolves granite, or more accurately quartz, and this is used in several industrial processes, from pottery (cracking glazes) to recycling rare metals (liberating metals from circuit boards).

It's just that archaeologists didn’t know.

Which I have no problem with, other than the fact that they know now but still ignore the facts.

Second Act

Now that we've successfully etched the granite, let's see what material is produced in the chemical reaction, because maybe our ancestors could use it for something, considering they didn’t know the concept of waste. What could this white stone foam be good for?

As it turns out, the white stone foam is nothing but waterglass, Na2SiO3. This is fascinating because waterglass is one of the main components of modern geopolymers.

What do our ancestors do if they get their hands on a material with which they can make stone? They make stone with it! And here we reach the point of rewriting history. All those civilizations that were able to produce waterglass were obviously capable of casting new stones from waterglass.

The simplest form of this, when wood ash is mixed into the waterglass, results in a beautiful black, Inca stone.

The source of the ash matters, it needs to have a significant aluminum content. Such sources include pine trees, tobacco, cannabis, etc. In short, there’s a way to make those ancient, ugly black and gray stones, and of course, many have already tried and succeeded.

The giant stone blocks of Inca walls fit so precisely together that not even a piece of paper can be slipped between them because they were simply cast next to each other, directly into the wall.

Third Act

Where did the Incas get their natron for all this? The place is called Salinas de Maras, a mountainous salt evaporation site where locals have been performing salt evaporation for millennia. Not surprisingly, Salinas de Maras is at the epicenter of all megalithic Inca construction sites. From there, they transported the natron in all directions.

An interesting question is, if the Incas figured this out, did other peoples come to the same realization?

And the answer is yes. I have mapped out and found worldwide that where there are gigantic stone works, whether carving a mountain or a huge structure made from a single piece of stone (Petra, Jordan or a bunch of rock temples in India), there’s always an unlimited source of natron nearby, without exception.

Eventually, I began searching for natron sources next to megalithic structures with the casual confidence of Neo dodging bullets in the Matrix, because I could see everything even with my eyes closed.

I even made a custom Google map showing these connections.

Fourth Act

What makes this all the more interesting is that if a more advanced civilization encountered the same relationship (waterglass + ash = stone), like the Egyptians, they might try to create prettier, not just black stones. They just need to find a material similar to ash but with a high aluminum content, in powdered form.

Modern geopolymer manufacturers use metakaolin for this purpose, which is nothing but burnt (calcinated) clay.

What a coincidence, this material is also found in Egypt, right next to Aswan in the desert! And only there!

Is it conceivable that the Egyptians tried to use burnt kaolinite for stone formation? This is not only conceivable but it would be offensive to the ancient Egyptians if we did not assume this about them. So, they tried it.

And what did they get? Artificial granite.

Or more accurately, a stone eerily similar to granite, but based on aluminum silicate instead of quartz, which is extremely difficult to distinguish from granite without very expensive instruments.

I admit, artificial granite has not yet been created in my lab. However, since this possibility fits seamlessly into the already proven story, and additionally explains a lot of unexplainable ancient achievements, it's probably true.

So here we are. I’m currently working on creating artificial granite, or more accurately, a hard stone that looks like granite, using purely ancient methods. And once that’s done, we can start rewriting the history books!

Here you can find the whole story unfolding:
