Spoilers:

• Both were diagnosed with stage 4 cancer
• Both have already had surgery
• Both have made a complete recovery
• Both have been in remission for years

This occurred in 2022 & 2023. They are both still alive because of recent breakthroughs in cancer treatment. If it had happened just years ago, they would have only been given months to live. All traces of cancer have been removed from their bodies despite it being found far-spread and metastasized in both of them. Bill required immediate surgery upon discovery, his daughter went through a period of time where she thought she was going to die.

Bill & Melanie also host a podcast called No Time But Now, centered around their shared experiences and survival stories. https://notimebutnow.com/

There are many YouTube videos on Cork, but how many of them focus on the walk around the perimeter of the city centre ISLAND? Enjoy the video! I had just jumped off a ferry and it left me in Cork for a full day before my flight home. While researching what to do on a Sunday, I discovered this relatively unknown geographical fact...

"To use this ship, you have a to use our form." - Captain Kirk

Captain Kirk beams down to a lush planet with an away team to track down the source of a distress call. Out from the trees emerge two humanoids with expressionless faces who confidently announce to Kirk that they will take over his ship. The moment Kirk begins to protest, the aliens freeze the entire landing party in place with some sort of device. The y are held captive on the planet while more of their kind materialize on the Enterprise through the shields and systematically take over the ship. They are Kelvans from the Andromeda galaxy. They crashed in the Milky Way galaxy when their scout ship passed through the galactic barrier and they need the Enterprise to return home - a 300-year journey across the void between galaxies.

Stardate unknown (July 2268)

"Astonishing. An entire culture based on this." - Commander Spock

The Enterprise follows a transmission from a Starfleet vessel lost over 100 years ago, the Horizon. to the Sigma Iota system. Because the message was sent using conventional radio instead of subspace, it originated from a time before the Federation's non-interference laws and the crew prepares to meet a culture that has been contaminated by Human contact. Captain Kirk receives instructions to beam down from an odd-sounding person and the away team finds themselves standing in the middle of a city designed to look like Chicago in the early 20th century, surrounded by gun-toting gangsters.

Not much of a joke to this one, just Gomez doing a spooky shadow puppet for Wednesday, as Morticia looks on.

The only video on my channel depicting a real event that actually happened

That time their grandparents annexed territory from the Czech Republic.

Every month 14 ships leave a quiet port on the west coast of Ireland, carrying alumina towards St Petersburg.

Alumina is a fine white powder. Once smelted, it becomes aluminium, a metal essential to modern industry and also to military production, including aircraft, armoured vehicles, missiles and other weapons systems.

I began investigating this supply chain after reading a report in The Irish Times earlier this year. I contacted the refinery with questions, but my calls and emails went unanswered.

So I booked a flight home to Ireland and decided to investigate it myself.

What I expected to be a short report about a single supply route became one of the largest and most difficult investigations I have ever undertaken.

It led me through the ownership of the refinery, its connections to Russia, the environmental damage experienced by people living nearby, the silence surrounding the operation and the political system that allowed it to continue largely unchallenged.

I met local people who had been asking questions for years. Farmers who said their lives had been devastated. Workers who were frightened to speak publicly. Independent reporters who had tried to raise the alarm long before the rest of the country began paying attention.

As I started publishing reports from the ground, the story spread further than I could ever have expected.

The videos received more than 11 million views across my platforms. Within days, the investigation moved from social media into local, national and international coverage. Ministers were questioned. European officials became involved. A refinery that very few people had heard of suddenly became the centre of a major argument about Ireland, Russia, sanctions and the war in Ukraine.

After weeks of filming, research and painstaking editing, this is the full story.

It includes the investigation itself, the people we met, the political confrontations, the moments that happened behind the scenes and the extraordinary chain of events that followed once the public began paying attention.

This film was made entirely independently.
