This chapter traces the journey of John Cunningham and the elite robbery culture that shaped him, revealing how Ireland’s most disciplined criminal tradition was dismantled—and exported. Long before transnational drug cartels dominated European crime, Dublin produced professional robbers who operated with military precision, silence, and planning. At the center of that world stood Martin Cahill, whose “robbery school” trained men to value discipline over bravado and invisibility over reputation.

This chapter strips away the legend and reconstructs the reality of Christy Kinahan’s transformation from an obscure Dublin fraudster into a future transnational operator. Long before his name became synonymous with cartel-scale trafficking, Kinahan operated in the margins of Irish crime—committing cheque frauds, identity deception, and low-visibility confidence schemes in a city already destabilized by heroin and professional robbery. Unlike the dominant figures of his era, he did not emerge from armed gangs or street violence. He emerged from paperwork.

This week, airports in Denmark—including Copenhagen and Aalborg—were shut down after mysterious drones were spotted in restricted airspace. Flights grounded, passengers stranded, and governments on high alert.

But here’s the bigger question: who is behind these incursions? And what do they tell us about the changing face of hybrid warfare?

In the world of UFOs and government secrecy, some documents come and go like passing shadows. They’re dismissed, debunked, or forgotten. But then there are those rare files that won’t die. The ones that ignite a firestorm, split the community, and linger for decades, unanswered.

Dublin in the early 2000s was a city of contradictions. On the surface, Ireland was thriving. The Celtic Tiger years had transformed the capital into a modern, prosperous hub filled with new money, booming construction, and a sense of optimism after decades of conflict in the North. The Good Friday Agreement of 1998 had largely silenced the guns of the Provisional IRA, ushering in a fragile but hopeful peace.

Montreal has always been a city of contradictions. To the world, it is a jewel of North America—an island of cobblestone streets and jazz festivals, European architecture, and a culture that blends French charm with immigrant resilience. But beneath that surface lies another Montreal, one whispered about in smoky cafés and splashed across newspaper headlines in blood-red ink.

The sounds of gunfire and explosions have become a normal, but disturbing, part of life in Sweden. For years, the country has struggled with growing gang violence, but a big change has recently transformed the conflict. The fights are no longer just between criminals; they have now hurt innocent families, which is a new and shocking thing. This new era of bloodshed is largely because of the Foxtrot network and its hard-to-find leader, Rawa Majid, a man known to police as "The Kurdish Fox". The Foxtrot network, a well-known criminal group, is one of the main reasons for the...

The vast, unseen world beneath the ocean's surface is a frontier of immense strategic importance. It is a domain of crushing pressure, utter darkness, and a silence broken only by the whispers of marine life and the hum of machinery. For decades, the ability to operate effectively in this deep-sea environment has been the exclusive domain of powerful, crewed submarines—leviathans of steel and advanced technology. These vessels, however, come with a heavy price. They are incredibly expensive to build, require immense logistical support, and, most importantly, place human lives at risk in hostile and unforgiving conditions.

In the late 1980s, the American public was captivated by a set of extraordinary claims that seemed to merge the world of covert government projects with the fantastical possibilities of extraterrestrial life. The narrative began with a man named Bob Lazar, who stepped out of the shadows and, through a series of televised interviews with Las Vegas investigative reporter George Knapp, revealed a story that, if true, would be the most profound discovery in human history. Lazar alleged that he was a physicist who had worked in a highly classified facility known as "S-4," a secret annex located in...

Adam Delimkhanov is a figure who embodies the complex and often brutal reality of modern Chechnya.

The search for a secret antigravity technology begins in a remote and desolate landscape: the California desert. The author, a defense reporter for Jane's Defence Weekly, ventured into this empty expanse to visit the crash site of a secret military aircraft that had gone down a decade earlier. Guiding him was a Sheriff's Deputy named Amelia Lopez, a law student who had witnessed the crash in 1986. Her account was the first clue in a years-long investigation. She described how the area was immediately sealed off by a Pentagon "red team" of soldiers, flown in by helicopter, who used assault...

In early 2019, the world was captivated by the extraordinary and unprecedented meetings between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The story of Thomas Øye, who is now known as Thomas Stray, is a powerful one about a person who fell from great heights and then rebuilt his life in a completely new way.

The other was Anthony Campbell, a 20-year-old apprentice plumber who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, an innocent person silenced to prevent him from identifying the killers.

we begin a journey into some of the most dramatic and audacious events of the Northern Ireland conflict, a period spanning the late 1960s to the late 1990s and known to history as The Troubles.

Imagine a quiet, sunny day in late January 2023. A U.S. Air Force fighter pilot is on a training flight over the vast, open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, a well-known military testing area near Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Suddenly, the pilot's radar screen lights up with a surprising sight: not a single, random object, but four distinct shapes flying together in a precise diamond formation. This was the first clue that this was no ordinary day. The presence of a coordinated group, instead of a stray balloon, immediately raised questions and set the stage for...

In the digital age, a new form of celebrity has emerged. The social media influencer crafts a life of glamour and aspiration, presenting a meticulously curated image to the world.

The world's public consciousness became acutely aware of Russia's most secretive intelligence unit, GRU Unit 29155, not through a formal geopolitical summit or a classified intelligence report, but through a chilling and public event: the collapse of a former Russian spy and his daughter on a park bench in Salisbury, England. The 2018 Novichok nerve agent poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal exposed a brazen attack on sovereign soil, but it also revealed a much larger pattern of alleged clandestine operations spanning years and continents. This incident, while sensational, was merely a visible thread in a complex tapestry of global destabilization. <...

The story of Dámaso López Serrano, better known by his alias "El Mini Lic," is a dramatic tale of power, betrayal, and a spectacular fall from grace.

To the outside world, he was the "Candy Man" or "Pied Piper," a friendly and seemingly unassuming figure. This persona stemmed from his family's ownership of a candy factory in the Houston Heights neighborhood, where he was known to give out free candy to local children and teenagers. This seemingly harmless act was, in reality, a deliberate strategy to build trust and gain access to the young boys who would become his victims.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the west Dublin suburbs of Blanchardstown and Mulhuddart became the territory of a new and particularly vicious criminal gang. Known as the Westies, this small but brutal outfit quickly established a reign of terror based on extreme and gratuitous violence. Their power derived not from a large organization but from the chilling reputation of their leaders, a tight-knit group of men who would eventually fall victim to the very chaos they created.

The tranquil image of a Spanish holiday bar was shattered in May 2025 when two prominent figures from Scotland's underworld, Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jr., were brutally gunned down.

The tranquil expanse of the Pacific Ocean off the California coast, a vital training ground and strategic waterway for the U.S. Navy, has become a stage for unsettling and persistent aerial incursions. These are not fleeting glimpses or isolated incidents, but rather sustained, documented interactions with unknown craft that have challenged the Navy's understanding of its own airspace and maritime domain. From widespread "drone swarms" that initially baffled naval personnel to more perplexing Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) – particularly "transmedium" objects that seemingly defy known physics by transitioning from air to sea – the events raise profound questions.

What...

Limerick, a city on Ireland's west coast, once bore the grim moniker "Stab City," a testament to its pervasive street crime. However, in the early 2000s, this reputation darkened further as a new breed of criminal emerged: well-organized, heavily armed gangs who plunged the city into a brutal, decade-long conflict known as the Limerick feud.

The world of organized crime, often shrouded in secrecy and violence, has recently witnessed a seismic shift with the plea deal struck by Ovidio Guzmán López, widely known as "El Ratón" (The Mouse).

Andrew and Tristan Tate, figures who rose to prominence through their controversial online presence and self-styled "alpha male" philosophies, have transitioned from digital notoriety to the center of extensive legal scrutiny.
