Black Knights: Forbidden/Forgotten History
Who were the Black Knights really? The term Black Knights are often used in stories like King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Along with popular anime like Code Geass. Regardless of how the term is used in modern times. There is more to the Black Knights besides what is used in literature and today's pop culture. There is real history behind the Black Knights. A secret Order that has operated in the shadows in Europe since the Dark Ages. As much as it sounds like a conspiracy theory. There's more than what's in recorded history. Although, archaeologists and historians have limited information about the real Black Knights themselves. Since very little records about their existence have been found. It's safe to assume that many records of the Black Knights were lost to time, or destroyed. As if they were systematically erased from history. Why? What occurred in Medieval Europe hundreds of years ago have left countless questions and far too little answers. All we can do is try to understand the past as best we can. Because as 26th USA President Theodore Roosevelt had once said, "The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future."

Reflections on a trip away
I had to deliver leaflets in the rain today. It was miserable. I could feel my clothes getting steadily more wet, my skin recoiling from the cold dampness of the material as it clung. I endured it. There was a job to be done, a deadline to be met.

The Day of Mercy
The desert morning was quiet. Thousands of white tents shone in the rising sun, of the hills about Makkah. The Prophet Muhammad, the Muslim saint, had come back after years of exile, persecution and struggle not as a fugitive, but as a conqueror.

The Forgotten Fields: Part X – Auto Racing
I. The Roar of the Engine The air hums before it hits... Then - BOOM! Engines snarl like thunder under the bleachers. The smell of gasoline, oil, and hot rubber floods the air. Dust swirls in the light as a row of cars trembles at the starting line. The crowd is half deaf already... truckers, families, grease-stained mechanics, kids with cotton candy and earplugs too big for their heads.

When Christian Blood Stops Trending:
Nigeria is still the place where Christians die in batches. Night attacks in Plateau, Benue, Kaduna, Taraba. Villages hit in sequence. Churches burned. Men killed first. Women and children running in the dark. Gunmen on motorcycles or in pickups firing into homes and then vanishing before state forces arrive.

The Taste of Faith: How the Inquisition Turned Desire into Doctrine. Content Warning.
The torches flickered like feverish eyes along the stone walls. Smoke coiled toward the vaulted ceiling, heavy with the scent of tallow, sweat, and fear. In the center of the chamber knelt a young woman, her hair undone, her shift torn where the ropes bit into her wrists. She whispered prayers to a God who no longer seemed to answer.

The 1952 Washington D.C. UFO Flyover: The Night the Skies Went Silent
It started with a blip... Then another... Then seven. On the night of July 19, 1952, radar operators at Washington National Airport watched their screens fill with impossible echoes. Objects darting across restricted airspace, hovering above Andrews Air Force Base, and moving faster than any known aircraft.

How Oil Changed the Gulf: From Camels to Skyscrapers
Before oil was found, the Gulf was a place of endless sand, simplicity, and survival. People lived close to the earth — relying on pearl diving, fishing, and trading across harsh deserts. Life was slow, built on community, tradition, and endurance. No one could have imagined that these same lands — once marked by tents and camels — would one day glitter with skyscrapers, luxury resorts, and futuristic skylines.

The Forgotten Fields: Part IX – Hockey
I. The Sound of the Rink The first sound isn’t the whistle. It’s the blade. A sharp hiss across frozen ground. The scrape of steel carving a perfect arc on the ice. Then the puck... that crisp, hollow clack as it meets the stick.

Erased Before the Battle
Everyone knows the picture history painted for us. Tartan & Flags snapping in the wind, a desperate charge across the moor, and the inevitable defeat that supposedly proved Scotland’s rebellion was doomed from the start. The word Jacobite has been filed away beside words like romantic, futile, misguided. What almost no one asks is what came before Culloden - the slow erasure of a nation’s ability to fight back.
