Trump and the GOP have been working hard to keep this video from being reposted on social media. Repost it, keep it alive. Too many people aren't paying attention to who Donald Trump is. He's a liar, and by his own words, he must be held accountable.🤥

"And this will be our security GUARANTEE to you..." [Nobody, before the United States of Amnesia]
✍️ Trump threatens Russia and Ukraine with 200% tariffs if they fail to reach a peace deal The US president's logic goes like this: Tariffs have supposedly helped end eight wars already. So perhaps it's time to try the same approach with Ukraine and Russia.

"It's entirely possible you found a type of settlement, too". The banks around the edge have never been explained in terms of a decaying wooden ship, but could be an ancient enclosure (cattle pound on the pass over the ridge). Pottery was found there

Note the weasel-wording here. They have (empirical) "results" but will not publish them to show what they have so far (1987, 2019-21 and 2026 scans) just ask you for money to get some more - meaning ALL the previous ones have produced nothing conclusive. A #DurupinarScam?
U.S. defense scientist and rock mechanics expert Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar is drawing attention to intriguing radar findings beneath the Durupınar formation in eastern Turkey—a site long believed by some researchers to be the possible remains of Noah’s Ark. With decades of experience in rock mechanics and subsurface analysis, Dr. Bakhtar has described the findings as potentially among the most significant of his career. The radar surveys have reportedly identified unusual subsurface features that researchers are continuing to investigate. Could these discoveries help solve one of the greatest mysteries in biblical archaeology? The evidence is still being examined, and further investigation is needed to determine what these structures actually represent. Could we be closer than ever to uncovering the truth about Noah’s Ark? 👇 What do you think?

"we masked all the geological features” this is just epistemological nonsense, the ground they are walking on and in which the remains are embedded are, by definition, a product of the geological processes creating it. #DurupinarScam-talk for fund-raising, not serious research.
“This is the most significant finding in my 40 year career, I have never seen anything like this…and it’s not geological, because we masked all the geological features. ” -Dr. Khrosrow Bakhtar PHD describing the results of his preliminary report after leading the subsurface survey at the Noah’s Ark Site. With over 40 years in rock mechanics and defense tech, Dr. Bakhtar has led over 25 major U.S. Department of Defense projects for agencies like the Air Force, Navy, and DTRA. He has authored over 200 technical papers and developed advanced imaging systems like BakhtarRadar and Forced-Resonance Imaging (FRI) for detecting underground structures. In short: America’s top rock expert says the Durupinar Formation is not a natural rock formation, and that an “extraordinary structure” lies beneath the surface. What theory and excuses will our opposition come up with next?

Also, on the west-facing side is a vertical cliff-face of earth that your team claim was formed (somehow, you've never explained how) by "being (sic) Noah's Ark" but what about the larger, curving one just a few metres to the west and joining it that is EXACTLY THE SAME?

Just to clarify the question @noahsarkscans, why are your "man-made object" claims not a #DurupinarScam?

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar. Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is.

"This project is one big charade designed to swindle gullible Christians out of their money". A #DurupinarScam, you mean? Sounds about right to me, they've no idea how to do (or spell) archaeology, let alone how to publish it properly. Dilettantes and charlatans.

Your white lines you superimposed on Bakhtar's scan aren't there in the original scan or real life and only serve to deceive. The "heat map" "lines" aren't lines at all--they're squiggles that seriously deviate from a true line at the end of those imposed white lines, which means your "man-made corridor" isn't a corridor at all. The middle line happens to follow the meandering fault line actual geologists have known is there for decades. The adjacent curved lines you're pretending are indicative of a ship's hull are simply the crease lines along the layers of the plunging syncline, aka unconformities along the syncline. The increased organic material isn't an indication of Noah's Ark either; the formation is a natural catchment bowl that traps and collects organic material over time. This project is one big charade designed to swindle gullible Christians out of their money.

So, what does "Turkey's lead archaeologist" (really?) - a pottery specialist - say about the pre-Noahchite pottery you reported? Tell us please. xitter.cf/LaurenWitzkeDE/status/…
It’s officially official. This weekend Turkeys lead archeologist Dr. Cenker Atila reviewed and confirmed that Dr Bakhtar’s Report become an official and key development in the study at Noah’s Ark. Dr. Bakhtar is America’s top rock mechanics expert, a 40 year defense scientist, and inventor of DOD’s Bakhtar Radar, and he just proved that the Durupinar Formation is NOT geological, and that there is a 3 tiered manmade structure beneath the surface with organized hallways, chambers, and corridors. The hallways run over 4 meters high. The “It’s just a pile of rocks” theory by armchair archeologists has just been completely destroyed. Ahhh I’m so excited! It’s all real!!

"God, 12 missed calls. Mom, I'm working." President Zelenskyy says his mother still calls him every single day and keeps dialing until he picks up. She asks how he is, how the kids are, and when Putin is going to end the war. @ZelenskyyUa

Why is the "tridactyl" in this depiction of a rape scene white, when we are told by those who are promoting these things that the white kaolin coating was a mummification process (which, allegedly is why they "cannot remove it" to revel the joins beneath)? xitter.cf/joismantilla/status/21…

Information about these holes is in marginal media such as ndtv.com/world-news/in-start… where it is suggested that the human tissues handled here were assembled from the remains of murder victims, which raises for the Peruvian University uncomfortable questions of supply and demand.

Come on Trump, put your money where your mouth is, you challenged the British media, now it is time for you to stop behaving like a child and coward, to stand up and be a MAN and as part of the process just explain a few things to the court you yourself turned to, on the record.
Donald Trump just made a very weird demand in the BBC lawsuit - what is he afraid of?
