PALM BEACH, Florida – Has the biblical Ark of the Covenant, the golden box containing the Ten Commandments, been found?
After countless years of speculation, not to mention the 1981 blockbuster Harrison Ford film "Raiders of the Lost Ark," resurfaced declassified documents claim the CIA located the holy relic in the Mideast with psychic and ESP help as part of an experimental, secret project called "Sun Streak" in the 1980s.
The Ark of the Covenant was created in Old Testament times when God instructed Moses to create the container, which holds not only the stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written with the finger of God, but also a jar of manna and Aaron's rod that miraculously sprouted blossoms and almonds.
The New York Post reports: "In a remote viewing session on Dec. 5, 1988, remote viewer #32 was tasked with identifying a target that, unbeknownst to them, ended up being the storied Ark of the Covenant, according to document, which was declassified on Aug. 8, 2000, and has been circulating on social media.
"Logistically, when a remote viewer is tasked with searching for a target, the desired object is written down on a piece of paper and put into an envelope. The remote viewer does not know what is written and is guided through the process by another person, retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Joe McMoneagle explained."
The paper continued:
"Information collected under this protocol is the only information that can be identified as remote viewing," McMoneagle said.
McMoneagle, aka remote viewer #1, was the first to do the psychic phenomena experiments for the CIA – and he is not convinced by the exercise memorialized in the declassified document.
Remote viewer #32's vision described a secret Middle Eastern location of the object – which they don't know is the Ark – but they say is "protected by entities," the document reveals.
"Target is a container. This container has another container inside of it. The target is fashioned of wood, gold and silver … similar in shape to a coffin and is decorated with seraphim," they relayed, per the file.
"Visuals of surrounding buildings indicated the presence of Mosque domes," they said, adding that Arabic-speaking men, dressed in all white, populated the area.
"The target is hidden – underground, dark and wet were all aspects of the location of the target," they continued.
"The purpose of the target is to bring a people together. It has something to do with ceremony, memory, homage, the resurrection. There is an aspect of spirituality, information, lessons and the historical knowledge far beyond what we now know."
Remote viewer #32 then expounded on the more mysterious aspects of what they saw.
"The target is protected by entities and can only be opened by those who are authorized to do so – this container will not/cannot be opened until the time is deemed correct. Once it is time to open the container – the mechanics of the lock system will be found to be fairly simple," they said before adding a warning to potential plunderers.
"Individuals opening the container by prying or striking are destroyed by the container's protectors through the use of a power unknown to us."

Those political leftists who are vandalizing Tesla vehicles, own by innocent passersby or maybe even their neighbors, because of their connection to Tesla corporation owner Elon Musk's work with President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, already are in trouble.
They're getting charged with a variety of crimes that include penalties of up to 20 years in jail.
One recent case involves Cooper Jo Frederick, 24, who was arrested in Plano, Texas, on suspicion of attacking a Tesla dealership recently in Loveland, Colorado.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the prosecution:
"Let this be a warning. You can run, but you cannot hide," Bondi said in a video message. "Justice is coming.":
The suspect is a resident of Fort Collins, Colorado, and is alleged to have ignited an incendiary device and hurled it at the dealership, narrowly missing several parked vehicles. It started a fire.
Bondi has explained, "I've made it clear (that) if you take part in the wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, we will find you, arrest you and put you behind bars. All of these cases are a serious threat to public safety. Therefore, there will be no negotiation."
Now it's getting worse for the vandals.
A report from Fox News now documents how the owner of one of those vandalized Teslas is suing the suspect for $1 million in damages.
Suspect, Rafael Hernandez was arrested just a week ago on a criminal mischief charge by the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office "after he was recorded by the Tesla's built-in cameras striking the left side of the electric-powered vehicle," the report said.
In the video, Hernandez can be seen pulling an object out of his pocket and forcing it into the side of the Model X.
The lawsuit charges, "Individual owners of Tesla vehicles, like Plaintiff, are being targeted and victimized by ongoing criminal conduct and action. This has culminated in the 'Tesla Takedown' movement, where certain activists are urging consumers to divest from Tesla products and are organizing protests and other activities that are explicitly or implicitly urging physical damage and/or violence against Tesla owners and/or their Tesla vehicles. Plaintiff recently became a target and victim of this criminal conduct and action."
The report cited the plaintiff's lawyer, explaining, "Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, this is a free country. You're entitled to drive whatever you want, as long as it's legal and within the confines of the law, and you should feel safe and secure in doing so, which, in my opinion, is why the authorities on the law enforcement side are taking these cases very seriously."
The lawyer pointed out the importance of consequences.
"It's a slippery slope, where does it end? Right? Fortunately, you know, my client's car was keyed. He wasn't injured himself, and he wasn't in the vehicle. But others haven't been so lucky, and so if this continues, you know, it's a fine line between having a civil society and chaos."

It's true that those who run for political office, like Congress, have moderate resources when they campaign.
Often, they're lawyers, or from other professions, where they've had good salaries, or they come from state or local government, where they've collected decent paychecks.
And in government, like Congress, they earn $174,000, with bonuses for a few select officers.
So how do they accumulate vast personal wealth, in the hundreds of millions of dollars?
After all, 20 years of such salary is only about $3.5 million and that's before living expenses.
DOGE wants to know:
Elon Musk, running President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency to track down and remove fraud, waste and corruption in government spending, confirmed at a town hall in Wisconsin that he's asked DOGE team members to investigate.
A report at the Daily Mail "has long been vocal in his suspicions about ultra-wealth career politicians."
"A lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress, where I just can't, I'm trying to connect the dots of how they became rich," Musk said. "How'd they get $20 million if they're earning $200,000 a year? Nobody can explain that. We're gonna try to figure it out, and certainly stop it from happening."
Musk's own fortune estimated as some $340 billion is linked to his companies, Tesla, X and SpaceX.
The report noted members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks and cryptocurrency as long as they disclose all transactions. That actually hasn't always happened.
The report said, "Musk has specifically taken aim at Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren, whose cumulative net worth is said to total an estimated $439 million in a post shared to Musk's X account."

Inspector general offers counsel on protecting kids from 'trafficking, exploitation, forced labor, or involvement in criminal activities'
The reality that America now faces actually is worse than the end result of Joe Biden's administration essentially opening America's borders and allowing millions of illegal aliens to enter, including gang members and other criminals.
It's because tens of thousands of children came to the border, and were lost.
A report from Just the News explains a report from the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security confirms that from 2019 to 2023, mostly during Joe Biden's administration, more than 448,000 unaccompanied minors were moved to the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Most were released to sponsors.
"However, more than 31,000 of the children's release addresses were blank, missing apartment numbers, or otherwise incomplete," the report explained.
The IG assessed that the problem is huge, and the threat to children is great:
"Without an ability to monitor the location and status of UACs, ICE is unable to facilitate court appearances and has no assurance UACs are safe from trafficking, exploitation, forced labor, or involvement in criminal activities that may pose a risk to local communities," the report said.
The report explains, "After meeting with more than 140 individuals from DHS and other Federal agencies, we determined U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot effectively monitor the location and status of all unaccompanied alien children (UACs) once released or transferred from Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) custody. ICE also was not always aware of the location for UACs who fled HHS' custody."
Among the recommendations the IG proposed is to have the acting ICE director "review and revise as needed Memoranda of Agreement and the Joint Concept of Operations between ICE and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and continue to work on information-sharing agreements related to unaccompanied alien children."
Further, the same power structure needs to develop and implement a formal process "to review ICE system data and identify inaccurate and incomplete addresses for unaccompanied alien children and share this information externally with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.":
Third would be for a plan to work on the backlog of unserved Notices to Appear for unaccompanied alien children.
Finally, officials need to update guidance to make sure the structure elevates cases when there are "concerns regarding the safety or circumstances of unaccompanied alien children."
The IG warned, after all, that "as of October 2024, more than 600 UACs, who were released to sponsors, were later arrested in the United States."

An American woman who was detained for weeks in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan has been released and now is safe in the hands of the Qataris.
According to a report in the Washington Examiner, Faye Hall was released Thursday following a court order and with logistical support from Qatar in its role as the United States's protecting power in Afghanistan.
Hall was detained on charges of using a drone without authorization in February.
In a heartwarming video, the released American thanked President Trump for her release and mentioned other women being held in Afghan jails.
"Mr. President, I voted for you twice. First of all, I'm so glad you are in the office. It's the new era, and in this situation, I'm glad you are the president," Hall said.
"Thank you for bringing me home. I've never been so proud to be an American citizen. Thank you, Mr. President. I just want you to know all the women in the Afghan jail they always ask me, 'When is Trump coming?' Truly they just treat you like their savior. They're waiting for you to come and set them free," she added. "Just sends regards and just don't want to forget all those women still in jail and don't have any rights. Thank you, Mr. President, and God bless you."
The Examiner reports that Hall was received at the Qatari Embassy in Kabul and has been confirmed to be in good health after undergoing a series of medical checks. Arrangements are currently underway for her return to the U.S.

Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla, Space X, and X, has a fourth job as the chief of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, tasked with finding corruption, fraud, waste, and criminal behavior in the federal government's spending programs and eliminating it.
He and his team members were interviewed by Bret Baier on Fox News, and he revealed that he believes the effort will be able to save taxpayers $1 trillion within the first 130 days of its work.
At the Federalist, a summary of the interview explained he revealed the "6 unbelievably scammy federal practices" that have been uncovered so far.
The report, from Joy Pullman, executive editor of the publication, explained Musk said if a commercial company operated the way the federal government has been spending money, it would go bankrupt, and "the officers would be arrested."
Among the revelations was that the federal government was paying nearly $1 billion for an "online national parks survey."
The problem? It "resulted in no changes or other outcomes as a result of giving the survey."
Musk said a realistic charge for such a result would be $10,000.
"It is astonishing," Musk said of the "waste and fraud in the government."
Also uncovered have been more than 15 million Social Security numbers for people older than 120.
Those all are fraud, according to DOGE's Steve Davis, since the oldest American is now 114.
Also, found have been two government credit cards, or more, for each of the nation's 2.3 million federal government workers.
Team member Tom Krause called that nothing less than "alarming."
"There's $500 billion of fraud every year, there's hundreds of billions of dollars of improper payments, and we can't pass an audit," he said. "If I was a public company CFO, I would effectively be removed."
Joe Gebbia, a team member, who launched AirBnB, condemned the process required by the government in order for federal employees to retire.
He said the paperwork involved is stored in 22,000 filing cabinets – a total of 400 million pieces of paper – in a "giant cave."

Persecution of Christians is common from Islamists, those who take the Quran's instructions at face value and try to kill the "believers."
It's found routinely across the Middle East and North Africa, where Muslims often are the majority of the population.
But now there's a new threat to those who follow the Bible: In India, where Hindus repeatedly have launched violent attacks.
A report from the American Center for Law and Justice describes the "disturbing escalation" in that activity against the minority Christians, who make up only 2.3% of the nation's 1.4 billion population.
The "increasing hostility and violence" is not just about intolerance; "it's about the fundamental human rights that are being violated every day," the report said.
Last year, the United Christian Forum, which focuses on human rights, confirmed 834 instances of violence against Christians in India, up from 601 the year before.
"Sadly, these numbers do not include the instances that remain unreported," the report noted, but they are a dramatic surge from the 150 such incidents documented in 2014.
The violence includes physical assaults, sexual assaults, and even murder.
The report said the explosion of anti-Christian violence has coincided with the surging influence of Hindu national groups such as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Bharatiya Janata Party political ideologies.
Those groups, both of which confirm Narendra Modi. the prime minister, as a member, "have been accused of inciting violence and exploiting communal tensions for political gain, as they shamefully portray Christians as a threat to Hindu culture and society," the ACLJ reported.
The report noted Modi joined the RSS during his youth and it has influenced his politics, as he has maintained ties even as prime minister.
He also held various titles with the BJP.
The report warned, "One of the most troubling ways the government achieves its Hindu nationalism agenda is the use of anti-conversion laws. These laws, enacted in several states under the BJP's rule, are ostensibly designed to prevent forced conversions. However, they are often used to target Christians, criminalizing legitimate religious activities and leading to the arrest and harassment of clergy members and other Christians."
The agenda also includes denying Christians access to government programs given to Hindus.
The ACLJ warned, "The involvement of the BJP and RSS in the persecution of Christians is well-documented. The RSS, as the ideological mentor of the BJP, has been accused of inciting violence against Christians and other religious minorities. In October 2021, Mohan Bhagwat, the head of the RSS, made a speech warning Hindus about religious conversions and alleged 'demographic changes' in India's northeastern states that have a large Christian population. This speech was followed by a series of violent attacks on Christians and churches across India."

Joe Biden's dogs "Major" and "Commander" already are known to have attacked White House personnel, bitten Secret Service agents, and generally terrified staff members.
Now a new report confirms that the Bidens had a third dog, "Champ," that also posed a threat.
A report in the Washington Examiner outlines the details uncovered by Judicial Watch, a government watchdog organization.
The report describes "Champ," a German shepherd, as "so threatening that agents and outdoor staff were warned to stay away from the second family's yard when the dog was out, and, failing that, they were advised to yell the dog's name as he charged because he sometimes stopped when called."
Those threats erupted while Biden was vice president, while incidents involving "Major" and "Commander" happened later, in the White House.
Judicial Watch reported getting Secret Service emails outlining the dangers, through a Freedom of Information Act process.
Previous evidence showed that the other two Biden German shepherds, "Major" and "Commander" sometimes drew blood and ripped clothing, the report said.
"The attacks suggested that the Bidens were poor trainers and custodians of their pets. Judicial Watch had reported that the former president was, at times, cruel to his dogs. In one report, they quoted a source that said Biden 'punched and kicked his dogs,'" the Examiner explained.
Judicial Watch chief Tom Fitton explained, "\No wonder the Secret Service is a mess. Biden's dogs terrorized agents and White House personnel for a decade, and nothing was done about it until Judicial Watch exposed the dangerous scandal."
"Champ" was with the Bidens before he was elected president and moved into the White House with the family. He died in 2021.
A younger dog at the time, "Major" then succeeded, but was given to friends after being "aggressive around staff and security."
Later, "Commander" was brought in by the Bidens, and he "attacked agents 24 times while the Bidens lived in the White House."
Eventually, in 2023, he was "sent away."
Judicial Watch released documentation of multiple concerns:
In 2012 a worker complained, "I need a couple of days off! Champ just tried to attack me!"

As a Democrat in Congress suggests President Donald Trump should investigate and possibly deport first lady Melania Trump, DOGE leader Elon Musk is now reacting.
At an anti-DOGE protest in Los Angeles on Saturday, U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said:
"When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he's going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America."
"If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania."
"We don't know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look," she added.
Waters was alluding to an executive order by President Trump banning birthright citizenship, as it clarifies the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Musk reposted a Fox News story about the event, and said early Wednesday: "At some point, the many crimes of Maxine Waters will catch up to her."
Emma Colton of Fox News reported: "Melania Trump was born in the former Yugoslavia and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, according to official government biographies of the first lady. She is the first U.S. first lady to become a naturalized citizen, and the second first lady to be born outside the U.S. – following President John Quincy Adams' wife Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, who was born in London in 1775.
"The first lady sponsored her parents, who were also from current-day Slovenia, for green cards and then citizenship after securing her own citizenship, the New York Times reported in 2018. Viktor and Amalija Knavs, the first lady's parents, officially became U.S. citizens in 2018. Amalija Knavs died in 2024, while her father Viktor Knavs has been spotted with the Trump family during public events in recent months, including sitting next to first son Barron Trump during the inauguration."
During the Los Angeles protest, waters also said: "We are here because we are not going to let Trump, we're not going to let Elon Musk, his co-president, or anybody else take the United States Constitution down."
Online commenters were not kind to Waters, saying:
"When they start investigating Maxine Waters, they will likely need a whole server of space to catalog the crime she is involved in. … She has her hands in everything."
"Can we deport Maxine Waters? At least from any government position? Bless her heart, she just needs to go."
"She's mentally ill. She called for violence against MAGA Republicans during President Trump's first term and a lot of innocent people were harmed. She should be removed from office immediately."
"Maxine is a diabolical Democrat who only plays the opposition for the sake of it. This woman stood in front of a crowd of homeless people and told them to go home. She is an a*****e and has the most punchable face."
"If Congress needed a village idiot, Maxine Waters would be the lifelong incumbent. In a just era, she'd be run out of Washington on horseback."

'I decided that I didn't want her to have all that fun by herself'
Vice President JD Vance announced Tuesday he will be joining his wife, Usha, on a trip to Greenland this week.
"There was so much excitement around Usha's visit to Greenland this Friday, that I decided that I didn't want her to have all that fun by herself. And so, I'm gonna join her," Vance said in a video he posted on X.
"I'm gonna visit some of our guardians in the Space Force in the northwest coast of Greenland, and also just check out what's going on with the security there of Greenland. As you know, it's really important.
"A lot of other countries have threatened Greenland, have threatened to use its territories and its waterways to threaten the United States, to threaten Canada, and, of course, to threaten the people of Greenland. So we're gonna check out how things are going there.
"Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it's important to protecting the security of the entire world.
"Unfortunately, leaders in both America and in Denmark, I think, ignored Greenland for far too long. That's been bad for Greenland. It's also been bad for the security of the entire world. We think we can take things in a different direction, so I'm gonna go check it out."
As WND reported Sunday, the White House made the announcement for the trip by America's Second Lady and her son, but the vice president was not part of the original plan.
The White House said on Sunday: "Second Lady Usha Vance will travel to Greenland with her son and a United States delegation to visit historical sites, learn about Greenlandic heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersu, Greenland's national dogsled race.
"The race brings together approximately 37 mushers and 444 dogs in a remarkable display of speed, skill, and teamwork. Ms. Vance and the delegation are excited to witness this monumental race and celebrate Greenlandic culture and unity."
