Nellie Bly's Biggest Scoops A couple of people here posted about a weird coincidence between Ivanka going to Paris earlier this month, and Nellie Bly. They posted a video about the wearing of the same clothes, and a huge clock in the background, and the similarity in the sky between the book and Ivanka's trip. It is all very interesting. There are more coincidences too. I was wondering WHY if Ivanka could TIME TRAVEL,  she would be interested in Nellie Bly?  It seems like Nellie Bly was a PIONEER INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST and wrote a LOT of stories which were very much EXPOSING the DEEP STATE of her time. Maybe Ivanka was really interested in her for that reason. I'm not sure what I believe about using a LOOKING GLASS to Time Travel,  but I know FOR SURE Time Travel is possible, and given by God to certain Mystics. I have read books about Saints that had the ability to Time Travel, and even the ability to be in TWO PLACES at the same time. IT'S CALLED BILOCATION.  Maybe if God didn't give the GIFT of traveling back in time to somebody, there could be a device to make it happen anyway. With God there is no time. Everything is PRESENT to God at once.

SOME OF THE STORIES NELLIE BLY WROTE ABOUT. “Our Workshop Girls” Among Bly’s first assignments for the Dispatch was an eight-part illustrated series examining the working conditions for women toiling in dozens of the city’s sooty factories. The series gave readers a rare glimpse at the daily lives and dreams of female laborers and exposed some of the dangerous, unsanitary and exploitative conditions in which they worked. As the series progressed, factory owners shuttered their doors to Bly and her prying pen. Undeterred, the scrappy journalist instead dressed in tattered clothes and went undercover as a worker in order to report first-hand on factory conditions. In spite of the success of the series, Bly’s editors returned her to the “women’s page” to write puff pieces on hair care, fashion, gardening, shopping, high society and homemaking. “Nellie in Mexico” Dissatisfied with her trivial assignments, Bly lobbied her editors to send her to Mexico as a foreign correspondent. Although they believed the assignment too dangerous for a woman, Bly’s editors relented under her persistent entreaties. For five months, her regular reports offered her readers a portrait of the customs and daily life of its little-known neighbor to the south. She unflinchingly wrote that the poor of Mexico City were “worse off by thousands of times than were the slaves of the United States.” She exposed massive political corruption and, although against the law for a foreign journalist to do so, criticized the country’s dictatorial government for jailing a local newspaper reporter. Under the threat of arrest, Bly returned to Pittsburgh where she was again assigned to the “women’s page.” In the spring of 1887, the 21-year-old left this note for her Pittsburgh Dispatch colleagues: “I am off for New York. Look out for me—BLY.” “What Becomes of Babies” As a New York World staff writer, Bly continued her undercover work as a literary crusader exposing the tarnished underbelly of Gilded Age America. Just weeks after the story about the abuse on Blackwell’s Island, Bly wrote a piece exposing New York’s secret underground baby trade. Posing as a new mother wishing to dispose of a baby born on May 5 (her own birthday), Bly visited doctors who told her they could sell her unwanted baby for a small fee. When she told one doctor that her baby was a girl, he replied, “Too bad. They are very hard to get rid of. Now, if it was only a boy you would have had more chance.” The same doctor told Bly that the death rate of babies he placed in boarding houses was a shocking 80 percent. “You think it horrible? Well, it’s the way of the world,” the doctor told Bly. https://www.history.com/news/nellie-blys-biggest-scoops NELLY BLY'S TRIP AROUND THE WORLD. After reading Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days in 1889, Bly suggested to Joseph Pulitzer that his newspaper should finance an attempt to break the record illustrated in the book. He liked the idea and used Bly's journey to publicize the New York World. The newspaper held a competition which involved guessing the time it would take Bly to circle the globe. Over 1,000,000 people entered the contest and when she arrived back in New York on 25th January, 1890, she was met by a massive crowd to see her break the record in 72 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes and 14 seconds.
