The New York Times just published another lengthy piece about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein’s 15-year-long friendship that centered around one commonality: their insatiable fetish for nubile young girls.

Like MacBeth driven to lunacy by the ghost of Banquo, so to is Dummkopf Trumpf being driven to lunacy by the ghost of sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein and his sordid, lengthy FBI dossier which the junta is loath to publicly release.

Trumpf Junta Tactics: “Circle the Wagons” and Distract the Hoi Polloi

Servient of America’s oligarchs House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said he does not plan to allow votes on any measures related to the Jeffrey Epstein case in the House’s final week in Washington before a weekslong recess, despite intense pressure from some of his own GOP members to go on the record on the issue.

The MAGA Republicans are ‘circling the wagons’ around their beleaguered cult leader, Dummkopf Trumpf, even though other Republicans want to see congressional action on the scandalous Epstein files.

Moreover, the Trumpf junta has gutted the office in the State Department that combats international human trafficking.

Distract! Deflect! Deny! Defend! Delay!

To distract the media and the hoi polloi, the Trumpf junta began a smear campaign against former President Barack Obama, which you read about on Coriolanus. As if trying to distract a child or a cat, the junta pulled out more ‘shiny new objects’ as red meat for their base and another issue for progressives to deal with.

Trumpf Urges Sports Teams to Restore Their Previous Racist Names

Dotard Trumpf posted on Truth Social:

“The Washington “Whatever’s” should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!”

The President threatened to sanction the NFL Washington Commanders team if the owner did not comply.

More Utter Dysfunction from the Trumpf Junta

“Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.” (2018 Trumpf tweet)

Trumpf administration plans to destroy nearly $10m of contraceptives for women overseas. As part of the Dotard’s end to foreign aid, destruction of the long-acting contraceptives will cost US taxpayers $167,000.

“It is unacceptable that the State Department would move forward with the destruction of more than $9m in taxpayer-funded family planning commodities purchased to support women in crisis settings, including war zones and refugee camps,” said US Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). Shaheen and Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) have introduced legislation to stop the destruction.

Trumpf Replaces US Naval Academy Superintendent with USMC General

The Trumpf junta has chosen a Marine general to replace the first woman to lead the US Naval Academy, trading out one history-making officer for another, well short of the typical three-year tenure for the position.

Lt. Gen. Michael Borgschulte, who currently oversees the Marine Corps‘ personnel directorate, has been nominated to replace Vice Adm. Yvette Davids as superintendent of the academy.

Davids was the first woman to head the service’s storied academy. Meanwhile, Borgschulte will be the first Marine to head the academic institution in its 180-year history.

Davids’ tenure at the academy was shorter than usual and, in that time, the institution had become a focus for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his campaign against topics and materials that the Trumpf junta considers “woke.”

EPA Eliminating Its Scientific Research Arm

President Nixon signing the Clean Water Act, 1972

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said that it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists, after denying for months that it intended to do so. The Trumpf junta is forging ahead with efforts to slash the federal work force and dismantle federal agencies after the Supreme Court allowed these plans to proceed while legal challenges unfold. Government scientists have been particular targets of the administration’s large-scale layoffs.

The decision to dismantle the EPA’s Office of Research and Development had been widely expected since March. But until Friday, the Trumpf junta maintained that no final decisions had been made.

This was a perfect time to make this announcement and is consistent with the junta’s plans to enshittify the US and stupidify Americans. These scientists and researchers will be welcome in Canada, the UK, and the EU.

FEMA Head of Search and Rescue Operations Resigns in Disgust

The head of FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue branch, which runs a network of teams stationed across the country that can swiftly respond to natural disasters, resigned on Monday.

Ken Pagurek’s departure comes less than three weeks after a delayed FEMA response to catastrophic flooding in central Texas caused by bureaucratic hurdles put in place by the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the disaster response agency.

Pagurek told colleagues at FEMA that the delay was the tipping point that led to his voluntary departure after months of frustration with the Trumpf junta’s efforts to dismantle the agency. It took more than 72 hours after the flooding for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to authorize the deployment of FEMA’s search and rescue network.

After spending more than a decade with FEMA’s urban search and rescue system, including about a year as its chief, Pagurek said in his resignation letter that he was returning to the Philadelphia Fire Department and did not mention the Texas flooding.

Trumpf Junta Fires Another Unqualified DOD Staffer

Another goniff hired and fired by the Trumpf junta.

A senior Pentagon staffer and adviser to Pete Hegseth has been ousted, marking at least the sixth person under the Defense Secretary to quit within his first six months in office.

Justin Fulcher, who recently made headlines after accusing a colleague of calling the Pentagon police on him, will no longer serve as a senior adviser to Hegseth.

Fulcher previously ran a telehealth startup called RingMD that went bankrupt. He seemingly overstated his credentials before he was hired to work at DOGE, including claiming a doctorate in international relations and affairs from Johns Hopkins University.

Trumpf Junta Defies World Health Organization (WHO)

US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a Joint Statement of formal rejection by the US of the 2024 International Heath Regulations (IHR) Amendments by the WHO.

The amended IHR would give the WHO the ability to order global lockdowns, travel restrictions, or any other measures it sees fit to respond to nebulous “potential public health risks.” These regulations are set to become binding if not rejected by 19 Jul 2025, regardless of the US withdrawal from the WHO.

“The proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations open the door to the kind of narrative management, propaganda, and censorship that we saw during the COVID pandemic,” Secretary Kennedy said. “The US can cooperate with other nations without jeopardizing our civil liberties, without undermining our Constitution, and without ceding away America’s treasured sovereignty.”

Secretary Kennedy also released a video explaining the action to the American people.

The Making America Great Again (MAGA) Base That Supports Dummkopf Trumpf

Trumpf’s approval rating, according to the latest from The Economist (22 July 2025):

Unsure: 4%

Favorable: 41%

Unfavorable: 55%

No matter what distractions and dysfunctional decisions the junta makes, the Jeffrey Epstein FBI files will continue to drive Dotard Trumpf nuts. Journalists that ask him about the files will be banned from the White House and Trumpf will ask conservative media allies to discuss issues other than this sordid affair. The junta will create more international distractions and diversions, possibly getting more innocent people killed in the Middle East or Africa. Meanwhile, Putin’s protege in the White House is allowing Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin to continue their vicious murderous campaign against Palestinians and Ukrainians.

China’s Political Warfare in Canada

The Government of Canada informs:

Canada has long been a target of China’s United Front influence campaign. Important ethnic Chinese organizations have been effectively taken over by Beijing, as have most Chinese language media. Chinese embassies and consulates monitor the Chinese ethnic community and coordinate United Front activities.

The USCC informs:

“China uses “United Front” work to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP’s United Front Work Department (UFWD)—the agency responsible for coordinating these kinds of influence operations—mostly focuses on the management of potential opposition groups inside China, but it also has an important foreign influence mission. To carry out its influence activities abroad, the UFWD directs “overseas Chinese work,” which seeks to co-opt ethnic Chinese individuals and communities living outside China, while a number of other key affiliated organizations guided by China’s broader United Front strategy conduct influence operations targeting foreign actors and states. Some of these entities have clear connections to the CCP’s United Front strategy, while others’ linkage is less explicit.”

Globally, Beijing has established Confucian Institutes to spread CCP influence, as well as covert police stations in North America to monitor dissent amongst the Chinese community, including French-speaking Quebec.

CCP Mouchards (AKA Police Spies or ‘Wu Maos’)

Low-level CCP or UFWD operatives on the internet (AKA trolls) or those eavesdropping on conversations in bars, restaurants, classrooms, social settings, parks, or schools are ‘Wu Maos,” which translates roughly as ‘50 cents party workers.’ These Wu Maos defend CCP positions over Tibet, Taiwan, or the Uighurs, and report back to their handlers who the enemies of the CCP are. Coriolanus has witnessed Wu Maos in action on several occasions in North America.

Russia: Putin Launches Spy App to Keep Russians in ‘Digital Gulag’

WhatsApp is to be banned and replaced with Max, which incorporates permanent snooping technology and will be installed on all digital devices sold in Russia.

The app, which was test-launched in March, was developed on Vladimir Putin’s orders and provides online messaging, video calls, mobile payments, social networking and access to government services. It was developed by the Kremlin-controlled company VK. Under a new law, it will be installed on every digital device that is sold in Russia from 1 Sep.

Critics have described it as a “spy program” that installs snooping software on a user’s smartphone that remains in place even after the app is removed. It is being seen as Russia’s equivalent to China’s WeChat app, which Beijing uses for online surveillance and censorship.

“[Max] is interested in where the user was, who they called or wrote to, including through other messengers, what crypto wallets and bank accounts they have, as well as what purchases they made, what cafés they visited and what they surfed for on the internet,” wrote Red Binder, a Russian Telegram channel that focuses on online issues.

Data that is collected by Max will be easily accessible to the FSB security services and Kremlin agents might even be able to monitor online conversations in real time,

Andrey Okun, a Russian opposition journalist, called Max a key component in the Kremlin’s plans to construct a “digital gulag”, a reference to Soviet labor camps. “This will be a sterile space in which the authorities have complete control over the leisure time, motives and thoughts of citizens.”

When Putin came to power 25 years ago, about 1% of Russians were online and the Kremlin paid little attention to the internet. Even in 2010 Putin was largely dismissive of its potential, describing it as “50 per cent porn material” and claiming never to have been online.

By 2011, when the first large anti-Putin protests broke out in Moscow, one in two people had access to the internet and foreign websites such as YouTube and Facebook became the opposition movement’s most potent weapons. Putin realized that, if left untamed, the internet could destroy him. “[The internet] is a CIA project,” he claimed in 2014, without providing evidence.

The surprising revelation in this development is that KGB veteran Vladimir Putin didn’t think of this earlier. Either way, this gives Putin another tool to crack down on dissent. The Max app will probably be available in neighboring Belarus, to fellow despot Oleksandr Lukashenko’s delight.

Russophile American Father of Three Sent to Russia’s Frontline Against Ukraine

Derek Huffman (46), his wife DeAnna and three daughters.

A Texan father who uprooted his family to Russia in a bid to escape ‘woke America’ has reportedly been sent to the front lines of the brutal war in Ukraine to fight for Putin.

Derek Huffman (46) moved with his wife DeAnna, their three daughters and the family husky to the small town of Istra, near Moscow, earlier this year after claiming the US had become overrun by ‘woke ideology’.

The family took advantage of a Kremlin-backed visa programme aimed at attracting Westerners who reject liberal ideals – something Mr Huffman called ‘a fresh start in a country that respects family values.’

But the American expat’s dream of a quieter life in Russia has taken a dramatic turn.

Initially promised a non-combat role in the Russian military – first as a welder, then a war correspondent – Mr. Huffman now finds himself alarmingly close to the battlefield, according to his wife.

DeAnna Huffman said her husband felt he was being ‘thrown to the wolves’ given that he had only received a limited amount of training, and that it was in Russian. She added that her husband, who only had minimal instruction before being deployed, is ‘leaning on faith’ to survive, as the family awaits news in fear.

The last message they received from him came on Father’s Day in June. In a video clip, Mr Huffman appears in full camouflage, speaking directly to his children.  

Derek Huffman wanted to FAFO now in his military uniform.

Russian forces lose approximately 1,000 soldiers a day in human wave or ‘meat attacks’ against staunch Ukrainian defenders protecting their homeland. Followers of the Watch will recall that another ‘useful idiot,’ the son of a CIA officer, was killed fighting against Ukraine. In the English vernacular ‘FAFO’ means ‘Fuck Around, Find Out.’ Imbecile Derek Huffman and his family are now in the ‘FO’ portion of this equation.

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Russia President Vladimir Putin. An indictment is merely an allegation. All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Trumpf Junta Cut CDC Budget for Cruise Ship Health Inspections

Thanks to Dummkopf Trumpf, all full-time employees at the CDC Vessel Sanitation Program have been laid off. A group of about 12 US Public Health Service (USPHS) officers will remain. According to one AI estimate, on any given day in 2025 approximately 360,000 to 430,000 passengers are likely on US cruises, based on estimated US passenger volume, ship capacities, and operational patterns.

Afghans Who Loyally Served With US Military in Peril

Interpreter Abdul Qader Zaman with US Army MSG Terry Best.

DHS has ended Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Afghans. Since last summer, more than 76,000 Afghans have arrived in the US. Many of those fled the country on flights in the chaotic weeks before the US fully withdrew from Afghanistan in late August. They include former interpreters, NGO workers, and soldiers who worked with American and NATO forces during the 20-year war. If Afghans here under TPS status do not self-deport, ICE will detain them and then send them back to the waiting hands of the Taliban.

Another Afghan Interpreter’s Odyssey

As Kabul fell to the Taliban last August, Abdul Qader Zaman (pictured above) and his family were among the tens of thousands desperately trying to flee the country. With the help of volunteers and veterans from his time as an interpreter for US soldiers, Zaman and his family eventually escaped. For PBS, Hari Sreenivasan reports from Erie, PA, where the Zamans are now beginning life again.

Cruelty Awaits Afghans Who Collaborated with ISAF

An Afghan interpreter named Mohammed Rafi Hottak who is safe for now in the UK says his own life remains in danger after recruiting hundreds of interpreters for the British military in Afghanistan.

He relates the following testimony in a court alleging that interpreters who worked in Iraq are better treated by the UK than those who worked in Afghanistan.

Hottak Mr Hottak describes in a statement to the court how one particular video “broke my heart.”

He says two of the six young men seen having their heads sawn off with a handheld knife were friends and old room-mates specially targeted after they chose to work as interpreters with US forces.

Mr Hottak and another ex-interpreter, referred to as ‘Al,’ are accusing the UK Government of unlawfully failing to offer adequate assistance to former Afghan interpreters who worked for them.

Lord Justice Burnett and Mr Justice Irwin, sitting in London, were told by their barrister Ben Jaffey that each had given “loyal, important, and dangerous service” for the UK armed forces.

As a result both they and their families had suffered serious injuries in Taliban attacks.

But they and other interpreters like them were being discriminated against and given less favorable treatment and assistance than Iraqi interpreters whose lives became endangered working for the British in the Iraq war.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and Ministry of Defense are fighting the claim.

Mr Hottak said while he was working in Kabul in 2007 the UK forces received the body of a dead interpreter.

“Luckily he had not been beheaded. He had just been shot sixty times and whipped with a chain.”

Statistics from the Taliban’s Supreme Court and statements from officials across Afghanistan indicate that the group publicly flogged 583 people and executed six individuals during 2024.

UN experts, including Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett, called on the Taliban to immediately halt all “inhumane punishments” in Afghanistan, including public executions and corporal punishment, after four executions were carried out in a single day last week.

US: Southwestern Drought Will Last Through 2100

The drought in the Southwestern US is likely to last for the rest of the 21st century and potentially beyond as global warming shifts the distribution of heat in the Pacific Ocean.

The Southwestern US is experiencing a megadrought resulting in the aridification of the landscape, a decades-long drying of the region brought on by climate change and the overconsumption of the region’s water. That’s led to major rivers and their basins, such as the Colorado and Rio Grande rivers, seeing reduced flows and a decline of the water stored in underground aquifers, which is forcing states and communities to reckon with a sharply reduced water supply. Farmers have cut back on the amount of water they use. Cities are searching for new water supplies. And states, tribes, and federal agencies are engaging in tense negotiations over how to manage declining resources like the Colorado River going forward.

Dummkopf Trumpf Wasted California’s Precious Water Earlier This Year

One of the first blunders Trumpf made as soon as he assumed office was releasing 2.2 billion gallons of precious water from two of California’s reservoirs to fight the Los Angeles wildfires, against the wishes of Governor Gavin Newsom and the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Then the Trumpf junta selfishly denied a special request from Mexico for the delivery of Colorado River water to the city of Tijuana — marking the first such denial in 81 years. Justifying the decision, the US State Department blamed Mexico for failing to abide by the terms of a historic water partnership accord signed between the two nations in 1944.

Unstoppable Desertification

As you read previously on Coriolanus, the world’s oceans are dying. Global climate change is slowing destroying the earth and causing mass migration from arid areas to moister regions. Unless mankind takes drastic steps now to lower greenhouse gas emissions, plant more trees, use natural sources of power like wind, solar, and tidal, and guard our precious water, the earth will continue getting warmer and drier, leading to increased desertification of the planet, more powerful storms, and toxic ocean waters.

Followers of the Watch That Are Aficionados of Grappling

On a grass field slick with olive oil and steeped in tradition, hundreds of boys as young as 11 joined the ranks of Turkiye’s most time-honored sporting event: the annual Kirkpinar Oil Wrestling Championship.

Held every summer in the northwestern city of Edirne (once the capital of the Ottoman Empire), the event is said to date back to the 14th century as a way of keeping the Ottoman Empire’s fighting men fit and ready for battle.

The sport, which is on UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list, sees wrestlers cover themselves in olive oil and try to press their opponent’s back to the ground to win the bout.

Alongside the men contesting, youngsters also don the iconic “kispet” leather trousers to embark on a slippery test of strength, skill and stamina under the scorching sun.

The boys are ranked in divisions based on age, height and build, with the youngest generally placed in the “minik,” or tiny, category. Under strict safety regulations, their matches are shorter and closely supervised.

Most young wrestlers train year-round at local clubs, often in towns where oil wrestling is passed down through generations.

While the youngest competitors aren’t wrestling for titles like “baspehlivan,” the grand champion of the men’s matches, their participation is no less significant as it is key to the continuity of a sport that holds deep cultural importance across Turkey.

This year’s contest — the 664th in its history — saw 36-year-old Orhan Okulu win his third men’s title.

“My goal was the golden belt in Kirkpinar and thanks to my God, I succeeded,” Okulu said of the coveted prize.

The Greatest Wrestler of All Time

The undefeated Gama is often considered the greatest wrestler who ever lived.

Born in Amritsar of undivided India in 1878, Gama is often considered the greatest wrestler who ever lived and the man who inspired Bruce Lee.

Ghulam Mohammad Baksh Butt (22 May 1878 – 23 May 1960), commonly known by the title Rustam-e-Hind and by the ring name The Great Gama, was a pehlwani wrestler and strongman in British India and later, Pakistan. In the early 20th century, he was an undefeated wrestling champion of British India for 52 years.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard: Barack Obama Could Face Criminal Charges Alleging ‘Treasonous Conspiracy’ Against Donald Trump

President Jimmy Carter’s funeral in January 2025 brought together all five of the living American presidents: Trumpf, Obama, President Biden, former President Clinton and former President George W. Bush. Only Obama took the time to chat with Trumpf and they actually exchanged witticisms and pleasantries.

The most under-qualified person to ever lead an intelligence organization anywhere on the planet, Hare Krishna offshoot sect member Tulsi Gabbard, released a declassified report spuriously alleging that former President Barack Obama was involved in a seditious conspiracy against Donald Trumpf.

Link: New Evidence of Obama Administration Conspiracy to Subvert President Trump’s 2016 Victory and Presidency

DNI Gabbard then went on the rightwing TV show Fox and Friends to hammer home her smear campaign against President Obama.

Interview here: Tulsi Gabbard: Obama Could Be Charged Over Anti-Trump ‘Coup’

For years Donald Trumpf suggested falsely for years that Obama was not born in the US  and shouldn’t have been eligible to be president, and has repeatedly accused Obama of spying on his 2016 campaign. Trumpf had previously revoked the security clearances for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and a string of top Democrats and political foes, including Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger and NYAG Letitia James, who prosecuted Trumpf for fraud, as well as former president Biden’s entire family. Trump stripped Joe Biden of access to the Presidential Daily Brief (PDF), a custom granted to ex-POTUS for decades, but he had not stripped Obama of this privilege. This will most likely change.

After the DNI release and TV interview, Trumpf then posted this AI-created video of Barack Obama being arrested.

These maneuvers from the Trumpf junta are all meant to distract attention away from the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) which will kill thousands of Americans with their budget cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, Trumpf’s inability to reach peace deals between the Israelis and Palestinians, Ukraine and Russia, the horrific police state besieging Americans, the internal witchhunt for undesirables in the USIC, and most importantly, the badly botched Jeffrey Epstein files which would no doubt incriminate Donald Trumpf as a pedophile.

FBI agents were ordered to flag every mention of Trumpf’s name in the vast holdings which USAG Pam Bondi will not release.

Tulsi Gabbard Dangerous Selection to be Director of National Intelligence

A former member of Tulsi Gabbard’s secretive Hawaiʻi religious sect warned members of Congress about the potential dangers of confirming Tulsi Gabbard as the next DNI.

Anita van Duyn says she spent 15 years inside the Science of Identity Foundation, a fringe offshoot of Hare Krishna that was formed in the 1970s and has been described by defectors as a cult.

Van Duyn has sent letters to Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, detailing Gabbard’s deep ties to the organization and its reclusive founder, Chris Butler, who still resides in a multimillion-dollar beachfront home in Kailua.

Watch the Brutal US Police State in Action

An Iranian woman experienced a severe panic attack while masked ICE agents arrested her husband near an area known as “Tehrangeles” because of its large Iranian population. The woman called her pastor, Ara Torosian, to help intervene, but he could do little as he watched her panic attack escalate into convulsions.

The woman lay on the ground spasming while ICE agents hovered over her, not knowing what to do, such as calling for an ambulance. Torosian can be heard pleading with them to administer medical aid. He can also be heard asking whether they know about the situation in Iran and why Christian Iranians fear returning to their native country. The woman and her husband are members of his church and entered the US last year under Joe Biden’s CBP One program which President Donald Trumpf ended this year.

Followers of the Watch, be warned. The following video is disturbing and your heart breaks watching the terrified woman enter into spasms during her conniption.

The ragbag decals and non-uniform equipment indicates that these goons are the deputized ICE officers under Dotard Trumpf’s Executive Orders to expand the number of DHS personnel.

Farm worker Jaime Alanís (57) died from injuries he sustained after falling from a greenhouse roof during an ICE raid of a California cannabis farm. He was a “hard-working, innocent farmer” and the sole provider for his wife and daughter, his family says.

Alanís died a day after a frenzied immigration raid of Glass House Farms in Ventura county where authorities arrested at least 200 workers. The 57-year-old, who was from the town of Huajúmbaro in Michoacán, Mexico, is the first known person to die during the Trumpf junta’s enhanced immigration enforcement operations in southern California. Migrants have died in detention in other parts of the US, including a poor Haitian woman in Florida.

Irishman Overstays Visa By Three Days Detained by ICE for Three Months

A 35-year-old Irishman dressed in an orange jumpsuit watched coverage of Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s visit to the White House while detained in an ICE gulag. His hands and feet were cuffed at the time of the televised St Patrick’s Day celebrations as he was being moved, he said, adding that it was a moment he will “never forget.”

The man, who wished to be identified as Thomas, returned home to Ireland in late March. He had been detained by ICE for about 100 days in total in three separate facilities because he overstayed three days on his visa.

Thomas, who works in the tech sector, travelled to the US to visit his girlfriend in West Virginia late last year under the ESTA visa waiver program which allows tourists to visit the US for a maximum of 90 days. However, after seriously injuring his calf, he was advised to avoid flying for at least eight weeks due to a risk of blood clots, which meant his stay would exceed the 90 days.

After overstaying his travel by three days, Thomas, who had booked a flight home for the following week was arrested by ICE agents after suffering a mental health episode while in a hotel. Thomas had received extensive inpatient treatment for mental health difficulties in Ireland shortly before travelling, and did not have access to his medication while in the US for several weeks,

Now banned from travelling to the US for ten years, Thomas said those visiting should take immigration rules “very seriously”.

An Irish woman visiting her sick father in Ireland was detained at the Tacoma ICE facility. Cliona Ward is a green card holder and has been living in Santa Cruz, California for 30 years, but was locked up for a 2007 drug conviction that was vacated. ICE agents detained her when she returned to the US after landing in San Francisco.

AUSA Subpoenas New Jersey Governor Over Protecting Migrants

NJ Governor Phil Murphy was also US Ambassador to Germany. A third generation Irishman, his parents were enthusiastic supporters of JFK.

Alina Habba, who has used her job as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor to aggressively target Democrats, is pursuing an investigation into remarks made by Gov. Philip D. Murphy about housing a migrant.

Mr. Murphy said in February that he was prepared to house a woman whose immigration status was unclear at his family’s home in Middletown. FBI agents have since sought to interview at least four witnesses in connection with the comments, two of the people said, with one adding that the governor had been subpoenaed but not questioned.

Ms. Habba, the interim US Attorney in New Jersey, is a former personal lawyer for President Trumpf. She previously announced that she was directing prosecutors in her office to investigate the governor and New Jersey’s attorney general, Matthew J. Platkin, in connection with the state’s immigration policies.

Alina Babba’s parents, Chaldean Catholics, emigrated from Iraq to the US to escape religious persecution. Note the Iranian family in the preceding story emigrated to the US from Iran to escape religious persecution. So, to the under-whelming Ms. Alina Babba, Coriolanus proudly awards her the below certificate to go along with her ‘law degree’ from the world renowned Widener University Commonwealth Law School in Pennsylvania.  Who?

UN: “The World’s Oceans are Dying”

“The ocean is facing an unprecedented crisis due to climate change, plastic pollution, ecosystem loss, and the overuse of marine resources,” Li Junhua, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, who is also serving as Secretary-General of the event.

The crisis isn’t a distant threat: it’s happening now. In April, global sea surface temperatures hit their second-highest levels ever for that month, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. Meanwhile, the most extensive coral bleaching event in recorded history is underway — sweeping across the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, and parts of the Pacific. More than a single event, it’s a planetary unraveling.

Coral reefs, which sustain a quarter of all marine species and underpin billions in tourism and fisheries, are vanishing before our eyes. Their collapse could unleash cascading effects on biodiversity, food security, and climate resilience.

And the damage runs deeper still. The ocean continues to absorb more than 90% of excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions — a worldwide service that may be nearing its limits. “Challenges like plastic pollution, overfishing, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, and warming are all linked to climate change,” Mr. Li warned.

Heat Threatening Sea Life in Mediterranean Sea

 A recent ocean heatwave in the Mediterranean Sea has been so intense scientists fear potentially devastating consequences for marine life.

The temperature of the sea surface regularly passed 30C off the coast of Majorca and elsewhere in late June and early July, in places six or seven degrees above usual.

Balmy temperatures can pose hidden threats. Harmful bacteria and algae often spread more easily in warmer seawater. Most life has a temperature threshold beyond which it can’t survive, though it varies a lot between species and individuals.

But sea creatures can also suffer from prolonged heat exposure, which essentially drains their energy through the summer to a point where they can no longer cope.

Seaweeds and seagrasses act a bit like the forests of the Mediterranean Sea, home to hundreds of species, as well as locking up planet-warming carbon dioxide. Some of them are well adapted to typical Mediterranean warm temperatures, but actually they often cannot withstand marine heatwave conditions, which are becoming more extreme and widespread. The heat can also cause what ecologists call “sub-lethal effects”, where species essentially go into survival mode and don’t reproduce.

Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) in Mediterranean

The fast-warming Mediterranean Sea is “a canary in the coal mine for climate change and marine ecosystems,” a marine biologist grimly warned.

CIA Historian: ‘Donald Trump Has Put US National Security in the Hands of Crackpots and Fools’

Underqualified sycophant D/FBI Kashyap Pramod Patel, Hare Krishna off-shoot cult member DNI Tulsi Gabbard, and lickspittle D/CIA John Ratcliffe testifying before Congress. (Photo: Getty Images)

Some quotes from eminent CIA historian Tim Weiner about the Trumpf junta:

After watching the US stand with Russia, Iran and North Korea, as it did in February 2025 when it voted against a UN resolution condemning the invasion of Ukraine, CIA historian Tim Weiner said:  “You come to the realization, if you hadn’t already: ‘My God, the president of the United States has gone over to the other side. He has joined the authoritarian axis.’”

Following two impeachments (and two acquittals), an insurrection and another election, Trump is back in the White House and bent on revenge. “Donald Trump hates the CIA,” Weiner said, noting that Trumpf considers the agency the beating heart of a “deep state” that he believes is working to undermine him. Consequently, the president has appointed “a coterie of dangerously incompetent and servile acolytes to the highest positions of national security”. Weiner describes the new CIA director, John Ratcliffe – a former personal injury attorney, MAGA congressman and, briefly, DNI in Trump’s first term – as “a spineless person who will do whatever Trump tells him to do.”

“For decades, the CIA has tried to hire people who don’t look like they just got off the bus from Kansas on the very sound principle that if you want to spy in a nation like Somalia or Pakistan or China, it might be wise to have a workforce that is not made up exclusively of white guys, and who speak languages other than English,” Weiner said. “Diversity was one of the CIA’s few superpowers, and the mindless abolition of the effort to diversify the CIA’s officers and analysts was one of the most stupid self-inflicted wounds that D/CIA John Ratcliffe could have delivered.”

The appointment of Tulsi Gabbard as DNI, who oversees the CIA and 17 other intelligence agencies, only compounds problems, Weiner said. Gabbard has never worked in the intelligence community and has been accused of parroting Russian propaganda. “What ally would share secrets with a dangerously deluded person like that?”

The amateurish ‘Signalgate’ affair cost National Security Advisor Mike Waltz his position at the White House.  His reward is being named US Ambassador to the UN, pending US Senate confirmation.

22-year-old Thomas Fugate is the DHS official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating violent extremism. His previous experience was landscaping before graduating college.

Followers of the Watch are keenly aware of the Stalinist purges the Trumpf junta has been conducting to rid itself of undesirables. Tom Nichols at the Atlantic reinforces this point. He writes that DNI Tulsi Gabbard and D/FBI Kashyap Pramod Patel in true McCarthy-like fashion are “hunting down politically unreliable members of America’s intelligence and law-enforcement communities, rather than catching enemy spies, terrorists, or bank robbers.’

FBI employees have been polygraphed on whether they have cast aspersions on Director Kashyap Pramod Patel.

USAG Pam Bondi Requests Data on Migrants Being Held in California’s County Jails

“The Department of Justice issued requests to sheriffs in multiple major California counties—including Los Angeles and San Francisco Counties—for lists of all inmates in their jails who are not citizens of the US, their crimes of arrest or conviction, and their scheduled release dates.

In recent years, the US suffered an invasion of illegal aliens at an unprecedented scale.  Far too many of those illegal aliens have gone on to commit crimes on American soil, including rapes, murders, and other violent crimes.  Today’s data requests are designed to assist federal immigration authorities in prioritizing the removal of illegal aliens who committed crimes after illegally entering the US.  Although every illegal alien by definition violates federal law, those who go on to commit crimes after doing so show that they pose a heightened risk to our Nation’s safety and security.

“Removing criminal illegal aliens is this Administration’s highest priority. I look forward to cooperating with California’s county sheriffs to accomplish our shared duty of keeping Californians and all Americans safe and secure.

The Department of Justice hopes that California sheriffs will voluntarily produce the requested information.  But if necessary, the Department will pursue all available means of obtaining the data, including through subpoenas or other compulsory process.”

58 California Counties and 62 Jails Incarcerate Vulnerable Migrants

The immortal Jackie Gleason.

County Sheriffs are elected in the state of California which is home to San Bernardino County, the largest county in the contiguous US, as well as Los Angeles County, the most populous county in America (population est. 9,757,179).

Detainees in California jails are either serving less than one-year terms for minor offenses or are defendants awaiting trial, unable to post bail or were not granted pre-trial release by the presiding judge. The county jail population for California was 62,581 in 2022 and 56,800 in 2024.

A 2023 report from the Prison Policy Initiative indicates that Black and Hispanic people are overrepresented in California’s incarcerated population (including both prisons and jails) compared to their share of the state’s population. For example, Black individuals, who make up about 6% of California’s adult population, accounted for 28% of the prison population in 2023, and Hispanic individuals, about 38% of the adult population, comprised 46% of prisoners.

Oath Keeper and Riverside County Sheriff Republican Chad Bianco

Prominent amongst these sheriffs in California is Chad Bianco who was elected by the people of Riverside County. A well-known Republican, Bianco announced his 2026 candidacy for governor and openly aligns himself with Donald Trump. Bianco confirmed that while he was a lieutenant in 2014, he was a dues-paying member of the Oath Keepers, a white racist anti-government extremist group. No doubt Sheriff Bianco will immediately comply with this fascist request from USAG Pam Bondi.

On a per capita basis, California is the second largest economy in the world.

US DOD to Deploy Counter-Drone Capabilities at US-Mexico Border After Drug Cartels Surveil US Forces

The Pentagon is preparing to deploy counter-drone capabilities around the US-Mexico border as part of its ongoing support of the Trumpf junta’s immigration enforcement and security mandates.

Mexican drug cartels have reportedly been using drones to conduct surveillance of US military and law-enforcement personnel at the US-Mexico border.

The rapid emergence, proliferation and application of drones are fundamentally shifting the way that militarized groups and other adversarial organizations conduct warfare.

The DOD is still trying to effectively respond to several recent high-profile drone incidents that impacted military officials and American civilians domestically and abroad, including in New Jersey and at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia.

Followers of the Watch are aware that the US has been deploying drones along the US-Mexican border, and most likely they are flying over Mexican airspace. The drug cartels also have drones and they have been utilizing armed drones against each other. USNORTHCOM has deployed thousands of US Army Soldiers to the US-Mexican border that are vulnerable to these cartel drones.

Recall from a previous post on Coriolanus that the Mexico drug cartels have recently began recruiting experienced and dangerous Colombian military veterans. Moreover, the cartels have been able to either bribe US border agents or hack the phones of careless USIC personnel operating in Mexico, making targeting of their enemies easier.

No one should under-estimate the caliber of Colombian military veterans who have gained experience, tenacity, and competency after decades of fighting a counter-insurgency against the FARC and ELN.

The real solution to this problem is for Americans to quit their incessant appetite for drugs and for obscenely making money gun-running weapons to the Mexican cartels. Without the American demand for drugs, business would dry up for the cartels. Without firearms and ammunition, the cartels would be vulnerable to Mexican security forces.

Italian Mafia Leader Caught in Colombia

Giuseppe Palermo (AKA ‘Peppe”) in Bogota, Colombia. (Photo: Colombian National Police)

Colombian authorities captured an alleged leader of the Italian ’Ndrangheta mafia in Latin America who is accused of overseeing cocaine shipments and managing illegal trafficking routes to Europe. Police identified the suspect as Giuseppe Palermo, also known as “Peppe,” an Italian who was wanted under an INTERPOL Red Notice, which called for his arrest in 196 countries.

Palermo was apprehended on the street in Colombia’s capital Bogota during a coordinated operation between Colombian, Italian, and British authorities, as well as Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency.

Palermo is believed to be part of “one of the most tightly knit cells” of the ’Ndrangheta mafia, said Carlos Fernando Triana, head of the Colombian police, in a message posted on X.

The ’Ndrangheta, one of Italy’s most powerful and secretive criminal organizations, has extended its influence abroad and is widely accused of importing cocaine into Europe. The suspect “not only led the purchase of large shipments of cocaine in Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, but also controlled the maritime and land routes used to transport the drugs to European markets,” Triana added.

The ’Ndrangheta originated in the Calabria region of Italy, and is supposedly led from Palermo, the “Toe of Italy.” Their cross strait rival to the west is the Sicilian mafia.

Illegal cocaine production reached 3,708 tons in 2023, an increase of nearly 34% from the previous year, driven mainly by the expansion of coca leaf cultivation in Colombia, according to the UN. The ’Ndrangheta is reportedly also involved in a wide array of other illegal activities, including arms trafficking, money laundering, racketeering, extortion, and loan sharking.

This is a small victory for fighting drug-trafficking, but Giuseppe Palermo will be quickly replaced within the organization. They are believed to exert influence over local and national politics in Italy and is understood to have infiltrated various sectors of the legal economy both within Italy and internationally. Estimates in 2013 suggested the organization’s revenue reached €53 billion.

Harper’s Magazine Weekly Review

Summarized succinctly for us by Clarissa Fragoso Pinheiro. Our eternal gratitude to her.

In Texas, the search for at least 166 missing people after the July 4th Guadalupe River flooding was paused as heavy rains and flash floods forced further evacuations. The US Homeland Security secretary defended the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s response to the Texas floods, despite reports that two thirds of its disaster hotline calls went unanswered due to a staff shortage. “Our entire office is just … gone,” said a senior civil service officer after the US State Department laid off more than 1,300 employees, many of them were notified by email. A preliminary report on the Air India crash that killed 260 people last month found that the plane’s fuel switches were cut off shortly after takeoff, possibly by one of the pilots. In posts to Truth Social, the US president announced 30% tariffs on goods from Mexico and the European Union, 35% tariffs on those from Canada, and 50% tariffs on all Brazilian imports, the latter partly in retaliation for the country’s treatment of its former far-right president, who is on trial for attempting a coup d’état, a proceeding that the US president called a “Witch Hunt that should end IMMEDIATELY!” The US president criticized Brazil’s recent Supreme Court rulings that would require social media companies to actively monitor and remove harmful content from their platforms; and on X, the Sesame Street character Elmo, whose account was hacked, and xAI’s chatbot Grok posted anti-Semitic messages. “Too eager to please,” said Elon Musk of the chatbot’s praise for Adolf Hitler. The US Federal Communications Commission approved two deals with T-Mobile after the communications company agreed to abandon its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs; it was reported that some Harvard University graduate schools closed their diversity, equity, and inclusion offices; and in Alaska, a creek’s name was changed from Nazi Creek to Kaxchim Chi’anaa, or “gizzard creek.”

In ICE detention centers, accounts from detainees described food shortages and spoiled food; US immigration officials may soon be able to deport migrants to countries other than their countries of origin with as little as six hours’ notice; and a 57-year-old farmworker died after falling 30 feet from a greenhouse roof during an ICE raid at a licensed cannabis facility in California, where about 200 immigrants and four US citizens were arrested. The Trump Administration filed a suit against the state of California over the high price of eggs, citing animal welfare laws, and dropped charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of destroying COVID-19 vaccines, selling fake vaccination cards, and administering saline shots to children at their parents’ request. MAGA influencers criticized the Trump Administration for its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and a former MAGA influencer and the current deputy FBI director said he is considering resigning after clashes with the US attorney general over the Epstein case. A former New York governor who resigned from his post in disgrace announced his independent candidacy for mayor of NYC, and the US president nominated a self-described “alpha male” and “manosphere” content creator to be the US ambassador to Malaysia. A team of researchers found that among primates, females are almost as likely as “alpha males” to dominate the opposite sex.

A 54-pound Martian rock will be auctioned in New York, the original Hermès Birkin bag sold for more than $10 million in Paris, and a wedge of blue cheese sold for $42,232 in Spain. Flamingos invaded Italian rice fields, threatening risotto production; and Canadian researchers found the nation’s oldest known puffin. A man was charged with smuggling 14 toucans inside his dashboard across the US–Mexico border, a mother was arrested and charged after her son died due to being left for several hours in a hot car while she was getting lip filler, and it was reported that extreme heat caused cars to catch fire in Death Valley National Park. In Queens, New York, “parking wars” erupted as a woman was slashed in the face over a parking spot outside a hookah lounge, and two women attacked one of their neighbors for attempting to park in front of their house; and in Brooklyn, a parking spot sold for nearly $250,000. “End your parking woes forever!” claimed the listing for the spot. In the Bronx, the New York Police Department requested that an illegal swimming pool be dismantled after children were seen jumping from scaffolding into its waters; and in Arizona, a man was fined for offering free cold water in his driveway. Wisconsin police found drugs in a bag labeled “Definitely Not a Bag Full of Drugs,” researchers found that magic mushrooms might slow aging, and an Australian woman was found guilty of murder by mushroom after serving a poisonous beef Wellington to her guests. “It is of course upsetting to learn that one of my recipes … is entangled in a tragic situation,” said the chef who posted the recipe to her blog. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police proposed collaborating with a local farmers market to make “Jack-Knife Jelly, Pothole Preserves, and the ever-popular … Traffic Jam!” after thousands of blueberries spilled onto a British Columbia highway. Both blueberries and mushrooms were placed under a severe recall notice by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Poor Countries Hiring Lobbyists to Bribe Donald Trump

Global Witness informs:

“Some of the world’s poorest countries have started paying millions to lobbyists linked to Donald Trump to try to offset US cuts to foreign aid. Somalia, Haiti, and Yemen are among 11 countries to sign significant lobbying deals with figures tied directly to the US president after he slashed US foreign humanitarian assistance.

Many states have already begun bartering crucial natural resources – including minerals – in exchange for humanitarian or military support. USAID officially closed its doors last week after Trump’s dismantling of the agency, a move experts warn could cause more than 14 million avoidable deaths over five years.

Deal making in Washington could become “more desperate and less favorable to low-income countries”, which had become increasingly vulnerable to brutal exploitation of their natural resources.

Contracts worth $17m were signed between Trump-linked lobbying firms and some of the world’s least-developed countries, which were among the highest recipients of USAID. The DRC is primed to sign a mineral deal with the US for support against Rwanda-backed rebels, providing American companies access to lithium, cobalt and coltan.

The DRC – a former top-10 USAID recipient – signed contracts worth $1.2m with the lobbyists Ballard Partners. The firm, owned by Brian Ballard, lobbied for Trump well before the 2016 US election and was a leading donor to the US president’s political campaign.

Somalia and Yemen signed contracts with BGR Government Affairs – $550,000 and $372,000 respectively. A former BGR partner, Sean Duffy, is now Trump’s transport secretary, one of myriad links between the US president and the lobbying firm.”

Donald Trumpf’s cronies are obscenely profiting from delivering humanitarian assistance to impoverished countries. Trumpf is also cruelly wasting precious American resources that can be immediately used to save lives in the Third World.

“From the American People”

The Trumpf junta ordered 500 metric tons of emergency food aid enough to feed 1.5 million malnourished children for a week to be incinerated rather than be distributed as part of its ongoing purge of USAID. The high-energy biscuits, intended for children under five living in war and disaster zones, are currently being stored in a warehouse in Dubai and were meant to be shipped out this year, but will instead go to waste due to cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effectively halting nearly all forms of foreign aid. Current and former aid workers, speaking anonymously for fear of retaliation, said that the sheer scale of waste is unprecedented.

US warehouses around the world currently house 60,000 tons of food, including peas and cereal originally bound for famine-stricken Sudan. The amount of food set to be incinerated  would be enough to feed every single child currently starving in Gaza.

As you could see in the image above, each USAID parcel of food has written on it “From the American People.’ President John F. Kennedy would be heartbroken today.

More Venality from the Petty Tyrant

After Dotard Trumpf disrupted the air travel of thousands and thousands of passengers at Newark Int’l Airport just to make an appearance at the FIFA football finals, he revealed in an interview that he kept the original trophy for himself. So when English Premier League team Chelsea beat France’s Paris Saint-Germain to win the competition between soccer’s top club teams, they apparently ended up being given a replica of the original trophy, which reportedly cost $230,000. Dotard Trumpf was repeatedly booed at the stadium.

In true mafia style, Russian despot Vladimir Putin did something similar to oligarch Robert Kraft, owner of the NFL New England Patriots. When Kraft met Putin Russia year ago, he showed the tyrant his Superbowl ring and here’s how Kraft described the incident:

“I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, ‘I can kill someone with this ring,'” Kraft said in 2013. “I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out.”

Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu Supporting Anti-Hamas Criminal Gangs in Gaza

Despite reports and statements about the gang’s connection to Israel, Yasser Abu Shabaab claims that “our connection is with the Palestinian Authority” (X)

Palestinian resistance factions have jointly condemned the leader of an Israel-backed armed gang in Gaza, accusing him of collaboration with the enemy. Yasser Abu Shabab (35) has been described as a “traitor for hire.” This criminal gang operates under the protection and supervision of the IDF and these brigands have been looting humanitarian food convoys. The IDF recently intervened on behalf the Abu Shabab Militia with a drone strike. Hamas has eliminated at least 50 members of this Israeli-armed gang of cutthroat quislings.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu:

“On the advice of security officials, we activated clans in Gaza that oppose Hamas,” Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu recently admitted. “What’s wrong with this? This is only good and saves the lives of IDF soldiers.”

Israel Creating Haiti in the Gaza Strip

By empowering criminal gangs and weaponizing aid provision, Netanyahu seeks to fracture the Strip into rival fiefdoms — allowing only chaos to reign — like Haiti. Some of these anti-Hamas cells have been linked to ISIS.

Historic Israeli Support for Hamas

“The Israeli support for Hamas refers to direct involvement by Israeli authorities from different periods in the rise and empowerment of Palestinian militant group Hamas.

The PLO and Chairman Yasir Arafat long suspected that the notorious terrorist Abu Nidal was a Mossad asset hired by them to conduct spectacular global terrorist attacks to discredit the legitimate Palestinian liberation movement. Abu Nidal died under mysterious circumstances in 2002.

Israel Learned from Apartheid-Era Suid-Afrika

Israel is using a similar “divide and conquer” tactic used by the former apartheid government of Suid-Afrika. The National Party covertly armed and directed the predominantly Zulu Inkatha Freedom Party to attack the predominantly Xhosa African National Congress (ANC) led by Nelson Mandela, taking advantage of their historic tribal rivalry. The low-grade civil war between the two tribes kept the anti-apartheid bloc fractured for years.

IDF Continues Murdering Palestinians

The death toll in the Gaza Strip has reached 58,479, the majority of whom were women and children. At least 139,355 others have also been wounded or maimed. Since Israel broke its ceasefire agreement after the GOP budget was passed in March 2025 thanks to US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), at least 7,656 civilians have been killed and 27,314 others have been injured. During the past 24 hours alone, 93 bodies, including three that were recovered from under rubble, and 278 injured individuals were brought to hospitals in Gaza.

The IDF and their proxies will have easily killed 60,000 Palestinians by the end of this summer. Since 7 Oct 2023, the American taxpayer has sent a record $17.9 billion of military aid to Israel. Unqualified support for Israel already cost the Democratic Party critical 6,265,888 votes they once had in 2020, losing them the White House in 2024. Dummkopf Trumpf squeaked by with a slight plurality of the popular vote (49.8%). This is just like the Democratic Party supporting the brutal regime in Saigon during the costly and wasteful Vietnam War, costing Hubert Humphrey the White House in 1968.

Antiwar progressives will not vote for AIPAC-backed Democratic Party candidates in future elections nor will they vote for a Republican; they will stay home on Election Day. The number of these antiwar Samaritans will grow and their consciences will be clear.

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Ukraine Intelligence Update

First Chinese Spies Caught in Ukraine

The father’s image has been pixilated. (Photo: SBU)

Ukraine’s counterintelligence service (SBU) arrested a Chinese father and son on suspicion of spying on its Neptune anti-ship missile program, a key part of Kiev’s growing domestic arms industry that is critical to its defense against Russia. Although Beijing tries to project an image of neutrality, they are helping the Kremlin’s war effort. SBU agents arrested a 24-year-old former student in Kiev after they provided him with “technical documentation” related to Neptune production. CI agents later detained his father, who had aimed to smuggle out the documents to the Chinese MSS. The father had been living in China but visited Ukraine to “personally coordinate” his son’s work.

The son’s image has been pixilated. (Photo: SBU)

Since Russia’s brutal full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukrainian forces have captured Chinese nationals fighting for Russia on the battlefield, but these two men were the first arrested in Ukraine on espionage charges.

Chinese intelligence (the MSS) uses the ‘thousand grains of sand’ approach to gather information, taking advantage of the large number of personnel available to them. Beijing has a special interest in maritime weaponry/technology because their ultimate plan to absorb Taiwan will require a powerful naval and amphibious strike force. Ukraine’s intelligence services are experienced, making espionage operations difficult for adversaries, as these two spies discovered. The SBU also receive intelligence from allies over the world. 

Russian Assassination Team Neutralized

Two Russian FSB assassins were liquidated by Ukrainian special services agents. On 10 July this FSB combat cell murdered SBU Colonel Ivan Voronych outside his apartment in Kiev. An intense manhunt led SBU agents to the lair of the FSB assassins and in the ensuing firefight the pair were rendered ineffective. SBU Colonel Voronych had taken part in a number of special operations, including the killing of Russian militant Arsen Pavlov, alias ‘Motorola,’ and led a unit that advanced into Russia’s Kursk Oblast in 2024.

An intense espionage war between Russia and Ukraine is taking place alongside the brutal daily combat at the front. Both sides want to eliminate effective operatives behind enemy lines. In some case, these missions are acts of retribution or justice and they spread anxiety amongst the intelligence community. Any conclusive peace talks between Kiev and Moscow would include an understanding that this practice be eliminated or reduced. The ancient ‘eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth’ policy would go into effect should there ever be a peace treaty and subsequent assassination.

Over 12 million rounds of 152 mm artillery shells are estimated to have been sent to Russia by North Korea for use in Ukraine, South Korean military intelligence reported. North Korea could have provided around 28,000 containers containing weapons and artillery shells to date.

The report comes a day after the North Korean supremo Kim Jong Un pledged to “unconditionally” support Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine in a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on 12 July. President Dummkopf Trumpf in another bit of kabuki theater announced that he’s giving Vladimir Putin an additional 50 days to come to the table, meaning the Kremlin has 50 days to bring Ukraine to its knees, which is unlikely.

Appalling Russian Losses

The Russians have suffered approximately 1,037,460 casualties, with an additional 1,170 over the past 24 hours. The Kremlin also lost 421 aircraft, 340 helicopters, 11,028 tanks, and 22,977 armored personnel vehicles.

The architects and enablers of this war, Vladimir Putin, Sergey Lavrov, Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping, and Dummkopf Trumpf do not care how many Russian or Ukrainian casualties they create. Putin’s goal is to absorb Ukraine into a Pan-Slavic federation, much like the glory days of the USSR, and headed by the Kremlin. China wants to continue making money and learning from the war. A future European war involving NATO and the EU versus Russia gives Beijing an opportunity to invade Taiwan. Kim Jong-un continues receiving Russian money and technical aid for his WMD program. Dotard Trumpf, a Kremlin asset, is stalling and delaying for Vladimir Putin.

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Vladimir Putin. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Inhumane ICE Raids Leaving Cats and Dogs Homeless and Detainees Starving

Santa Clara County plans modern no-kill animal shelter from http://www.mercurynews.com

“Pets are the collateral damage to the current political climate,” reported the Michelson Found Animals Foundation. In one example, ICE agents arrested a man who had his three-year-old pit bull, Chuco, with him. A friend managed to grab Chuco from the scene and bring him back to the garage where he lives. The dog’s owner was deported to Mexico the next day.

The SPAY(CE) Project, which spays and neuters dogs in underserved areas, put out a call on Instagram to help Chuco and an animal rescue group agreed to take him, but then went quiet. Meanwhile, the garage owner took Chuco to an undisclosed shelter.

After repeated attempts, a nonprofit organizaton gave up on finding the dog or a home for him, since “no one has space for an adult male Pittie these days.” So “the poor dog is left to die in the shelter.”

Since ICE raids, primarily targeting Latino communities, began roiling LA in early June, animal rescues and care providers across the county are hearing desperate pleas for help.

At least 15 dogs were surrendered at LA County animal shelters due to deportations between 10 June and 4 July.

Pets belonging to people who are deported or flee are being left in empty apartments, dumped into the laps of unprepared friends and dropped off at overcrowded shelters.

“Unless people do take the initiative [and get the pets out], those animals will starve to death in those backyards or those homes,” said Cats at the Studios, a rescue that serves LA.

Yet with many animal refuges operating at capacity, it can be difficult to find temporary homes where pets are not at risk of euthanasia.

Fearing arrest if they go outside, some people are also forgoing healthcare for their pets, with clinics reporting a surge in no-shows and missed appointments in communities affected by the raids.

ICE has now surpassed the FBI in terms of police powers, detaining people without warrant or probable cause, other than being suspected of being a migrant. ICE has become the closest thing to a secret police the US ever had and legislators are seeking to pass laws banning ICE personnel from using masks.

During a speech to rabid rightwing supporters, the braggadocio Director of ICE Tom Homan unprofessionally and crassly challenges a heckler to fisticuffs:

Inhumane Conditions in ICE Gulags

Detainees held in Donald Trumpf’s new jungle gulag in Florida are finding worms in their food. Toilets don’t flush, flooding floors with fecal waste, and mosquitoes and other insects are everywhere. Prisoners began arriving at this torture chamber on 2 July. Inside the compound’s large white tents, rows of bunk beds are surrounded by chain-link cages. Detainees go days without showering or getting prescription medicine, and they are only able to speak by phone to lawyers and loved ones. At times the air conditioners abruptly shut off in the sweltering heat. Insider accounts paint a picture of the place as unsanitary and lacking in adequate medical care, pushing some into a state of extreme distress.

“The conditions in which we are living are inhuman,” a Venezuelan detainee said by phone from the facility. “My main concern is the psychological pressure they are putting on people to sign their self-deportation.”

The ACLU describes the facility as state-sponsored cruelty and an attack on indigenous people’s sovereignty. In a strongly worded statement posted to the Archdiocese of Miami’s website, Archbishop Thomas Wenski condemned the conditions at the remote detention site in the Everglades: “It is unbecoming of public officials and corrosive of the common good to speak of the deterrence value of alligators and pythons’ at the Collier-Dade facility.” Democratic lawmakers filed a lawsuit to gain access to this torture chamber. Conservation groups warned government agencies in a legal filing that they’re breaking the law by failing to protect the Big Cypress National Preserve from the increasingly destructive effects of this horrible Bastille in the swamp.

Immigrants being held in ICE torture chambers in at least seven states are complaining of hunger, food shortages and spoiled comestibles. Detainees have gotten sick; others say they have lost weight. In one facility, an incident involving detainees reportedly broke out in part because of food.

Immigration Judges Being Fired Despite Huge Backlog of Cases

The Trumpf junta will be firing fifteen more immigration judges on 22 July amid efforts to speed up deportations of vulnerable migrants without legal status. An email was sent to judges in Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, Texas, New York, and California. Like the 50 other judges fired within the last six months, the judges who received the most recent notices were not given a reason for the terminations.

Congress had allocated $3 billion to the Department of Justice in part to hire more immigration judges to alleviate a backlog of nearly four million cases. Hiring and training new judges can take more than a year. “It’s outrageous and against the public interest that at a time when the Congress has authorized 800 immigration judges, we are firing large numbers of immigration judges without cause,” said Matt Biggs, president of the IFPTE union. “This is hypocritical ” you can’t enforce immigration laws when you fire the enforcers.”

Dummkopf Trumpf is a 21st-century Andrew Jackson and Jefferson Davis all rolled up into one abomination creature. The Trumpf junta will continue enriching contractor cronies like Palantir and firms that construct the ramshackle ICE concentration camps like ‘Gator Gitmo’, all while brutally bleaching America of non-whites.

India: Puppy Named Rocky Saves Villagers from Landslide

Israel: Soldiers Ordered to Shoot at Unarmed Palestinians at Gaza Food Sites

A major Haaretz investigation confirms Israeli soldiers in Gaza were ordered to shoot at unarmed Palestinians gathering near food distribution sites — even when they posed no threat. Soldiers described the areas as a “killing field,” noting: “There’s no enemy, no weapons. IDF officers say the killings aren’t isolated mistakes but part of a pattern dubbed “Operation Salted Fish” — the Israeli version of Red Light, Green Light. “We shoot, they run, we shoot again,” one soldier said. “This is our communication.”  At least 549 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,000 wounded near these aid centers since 27 May. Many were waiting for UN food trucks.  Testimonies reveal Israeli commanders instructed troops to open fire on civilians approaching aid sites before they opened or after they closed — using machine guns, mortars, and grenades. Soldiers described systematic live fire, including from tanks.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has claimed the lives of 57,012 Palestinians, with nearly 134,592 wounded, injured, or maimed since 7 Oct 2023,

Among the casualties are 6,454 deaths and 22,551 injuries reported since 18 March, when US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) capitulated on the Republican budget, releasing billions of dollars of American taxpayer funds to Israel which then resumed its military campaign after a short-lived ceasefire.

In the past 24 hours alone, 142 Palestinians were killed—including three whose bodies were retrieved from the rubble—and 487 others were injured, as the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) intensified its attacks across the besieged enclave.

Meanwhile, the G7 and NATO Summits recently concluded. None of the G-7 nations have recognized the State of Palestine and some leaders in Germany want to let ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu visit without arresting him.

If any of the G-7 or NATO allies are ever invaded by China, Russia, or other superpower, I hope their people will fight back just as hard as the Palestinians. The Ukrainians are fighting back hard against the Russians, but unlike the Palestinians, receive weapons and financial assistance from the West.

The IDF has created an army of amputees and orphans in Gaza.

The hardworking American taxpayer is tired of funding Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The Democratic Party already lost 6,265,888 votes on 5 Nov 2024 and will lose more supporters in future national elections as they have become a platform for the Likud Party in the US. In razor-thin elections, every vote counts and the consciences of these antiwar Samaritans and progressives will be clear.

Why Many Democrats and Donald Trump Are Attacking NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani

President Trump threatened NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani with arrest, should he be elected and follow through with a campaign promise to “stop masked ICE agents from deporting our neighbors.” Trump said the DOJ would react swiftly to any such obstruction to ICE’s operations. “Well then, we’ll have to arrest him. Look, we don’t need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I’m going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation,” Trump warned. The comments are Trump’s latest attack on Mamdani, who he called a “total nut job.” “A lot of people are saying he’s here illegally,” Trump smearing him without evidence. Trump threatened to withhold federal funding from New York if, should Mamdani be elected mayor, he didn’t “behave himself.” “If he does get in, I’m going to be president, and he’s going to have to do the right thing, or they’re not getting any money. He’s got to do the right thing or they’re not getting any money.”

The Desperate and Feckless Democrats

In 2024, disgraced ex-New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo had joined the odious Benjamin Netanyahu’s legal defense team at the International Criminal Court (ICC) where the Israeli PM has been indicted for crimes against humanity. AIPAC supported Andrew Cuomo for Mayor of NYC, a man who had resigned the governorship of New York State in utter ignominy over sexual misconduct and misrepresentations during the COVID-19 pandemic, and who had his Emmy Award revoked, because of name recognition. His father was a popular governor of the Empire State. But Andrew Cuomo lost the Democratic Party primary, clearing the way for Zohran Mamdani to face corruption-prone incumbent Eric Adams and GOP candidate Curtis Sliwa, a former McDonald’s night manager who formed the Guardian Angels vigilante group last century to patrol NYC’s subway system. After Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary, several business executives reportedly began meeting with Eric Adams as they considered backing him in the general election to be held on 4 Nov 2025.

Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate for NYC Mayor.

New York State Democrats, an extension of the Likud Party in the US, are also reeling from revelations of Chinese government influence in their operations. An aide to Mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo has resigned over high-level ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).  On 14 June 2025, Dr. Lining “Larry” stepped down as Andrew Cuomo’s Asian outreach director after investigations revealed his extensive business ties to Chinese state-owned enterprises with embedded CCP cells and his associations with Beijing-linked political operatives in New York.

  • As director of asset management of the state-owned Guangxi Beibu Gulf Investment, He pushed both California and Australia for deeper economic ties with China.
  • He served from 2013 through 2015 as the former board chairman of Guangxi Beitou Petrochemical Company, a joint venture with state-owned Chinese oil giant Sinopec, according to a bio on the website of a commodity trading firm where He was a managing partner. The company’s current corporate organization chart shows it has an official Chinese Communist Party cell embedded in its leadership.
  • A regulatory consulting firm called Penshare-Banyu Technology, based in Chongqing, listed He as a partner. After The Post reached out to He, Penshare-Banyu deleted his picture and profile from its webpage, though it remains visible on Google.
  • He owns import business InterStellar Enterprise, which ships plastic bottles into the US from a manufacturer based in Shenzhen. His wife, Jing Lei, formed a new company weeks after the couple moved to Brooklyn that import manifests show brought in roughly 8.5 tons of plastic bottles from China in May alone.

Zohran Mamdani Terrifies AIPAC and the Status Quo in NYC

AIPAC Democrats and the Republicans are terrified of Zohran Mamdani for manifest reasons. His socialist platform to help poor New Yorkers, one of the most expensive places in the world to live in, will be used as a cudgel against him, but this is a chimera. Wall Street executives, bankers, and the oligarchs can easily pay for the modest tax increases he would enact. Zohran Mamdani has been endorsed by anti-oligarch US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

The Real Reasons Why AIPAC Democrats Won’t Endorse Him

The ‘Bully Pulpit’ can be used daily to identify international injustices and economic inequality.

As Mayor of the Big Apple Zohran Mamdani can have a press conference every day from City Hall where the word ‘Hamas’ isn’t used, but the word ‘Palestinian’ is used. That disrupts the AIPAC Islamophobic messaging which has invalidated Palestinians as a people in the West for decades. Mamdani can declare Gaza City a ‘Sister City’ to NYC. The NYC Mayor has a liaison team for the UN. Under Mamdani, the Israeli UN delegation would no longer receive the carte blanche treatment they have enjoyed for decades. If elected Mayor, Mamdani will have a say in the CUNY system, one of the largest public universities in the US. Pro-Palestinian academics can be appointed under his term. AIPAC groups recently demanded the resignation of CUNY Chancellor Felix Matos Rodriguez for calling out the Israeli genocide of Palestinians as “hate speech.”

Lucrative Contracts and Wasteful Programs

If elected Mayor, Zohran Mamdani selects the NYPD Commissioner. For decades the NYC taxpayer has been funding the NYPD to host liaison teams in over a dozen countries (and in the US) as part of its plan to combat ‘global jihad.” These US Embassies already have DOS RSOs, CIA and DIA officers, as well as DEA SAs and FBI Legal Attaches (SAs).

These NYPD detectives enjoy wonderful tours in these cities, but bring nothing to the table other than bonhomie and NYPD chackas, according to State Dept and USIC personnel.

This wasteful program would most likely be scrapped under Mamdani to save NYC taxpayers millions of dollars, but would anger the NYPD detectives looking forward to a pleasant tour in Tel Aviv, Canberra, or Madrid. (Full disclosure: Years ago Coriolanus knew a few NYPD Intelligence Division detectives– they were congenial family guys with funny stories.)

The NYPD recently signed a contract with an Israeli security firm. That contract, and other NYC contracts with Israeli firms, will most likely be scrutinized and scrapped.

NYC Marshals are appointed by the Mayor for five year terms. By law, no more than 83 City Marshals shall be appointed by a mayor. Marshals primarily enforce orders from Civil Court cases, including collecting on judgments, towing, seizing utility meters, and carrying out evictions. In 2023, Marshals collectively performed approximately 13,520 evictions. Marshals are regulated by DOI but, unlike the City Sheriff, they are not City employees. Marshals collect fees, which are set by statute, from the private litigants whose judgments they enforce, and they also retain five percent of any money they collect on judgments. Marshals must pay an annual assessment to the City consisting of $1,500 plus 4.5% of their gross income.

For decades and decades, political insiders have received these few lucrative positions which gives City Marshals peace officer status and a percentage of judgments they collect. When you look at the list of City Marshals, present or past, you will not see a Muslim or Arab name. Coriolanus has never seen such a name over the past several decades. Under Zohran Mamdani, this will most likely change.

Just a Few of Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Party Enemies

Zohran Mamdani has rightfully gotten under the skin of Dummkopf Trumpf, AIPAC, and the sentinels of the status quo which led to the calamity Americans are in today. Watch and listen for comments from media Judas Goats Joe Rogan (AKA ‘Joe Rogaine’) or Bill Maher who will either mock or criticize Mamdani ad hominem or smear him as a “global jihadist.” Very few AIPAC-funded Democrats will defend Zohran Mamdani, but one or two may circle the wagons around him. Dishonorable Andrew Cuomo can act the part of spoiler to help prevent a Muslim from becoming NYC Mayor in November. Followers of the Watch can easily identify an AIPAC recipient by the manner in which they will smear Zohran Mamdani or not endorse him. Then you can corroborate your assessment at these links:

Mr. Mamdani, who receives regular death threats from Islamophobes, now has 24/7 NYPD protection, like you see below:

Mexico: Drug Cartel Hacked FBI Agent Smartphone 

Mexican drug trafficker Joaquin Guzman Loera aka “el Chapo Guzman” is escorted by Mexican marines as he is presented to the press in 2014 in Mexico City.  In 2018, “El Chapo” was sentenced to life plus 30 years.

A hacker working on behalf of the Sinaloa drug cartel infiltrated cameras and phones to track an FBI official in Mexico investigating the drug lord El Chapo, then used data from that surveillance to kill and intimidate potential sources and witnesses the agent was meeting with. The hacker had observed people going in and out of the US Embassy in Mexico City and identified “people of interest” for the cartel, including the FBI Assistant Legal Attache (ALAT), and then was able to use the ALAT’s mobile phone number to obtain calls made and received, as well as geolocation data, associated with the ALAT’s phone.

According to the case agent, the cartel used that information to intimidate and, in some instances, kill potential sources or cooperating witnesses.

This is extraordinarily poor tradecraft on the part of the FBI agent in Mexico City, but can happen to the best of investigators. Coriolanus knew an FBI Special Agent and a US Postal Inspector who were both hacked years ago by different nefarious actors.  Until the insatiable American demand for drugs dries up, as well as the illegal supply of weapons to Mexico via the “Iron River,” the drug cartels will continue their lucrative and violent operations. As you read here, experienced Colombian military veterans have been recruited by the drug cartels, posing a serious threat to Mexican security services.

International Arms Dealer Guilty of Exporting Weapons to Russia

Sergei Zharnovnikov (46) of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit export violations. The defendant exported firearms and ammunition worth $1,582,836.52 from the US to Russia without the required licenses from the Department of Commerce. The defendant, together with others, entered into the conspiracy since at least March 2020, before Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine in Feb 2022.  When sentenced, Zharnovnikov faces up to 20 years in prison.

Mystery Object Recorded in Sky Over Massachusetts

Colleen McCormack  of Pembroke, MA, was relaxing in her outdoor hot tub when she captured on video a mystery object floating in the sky.

Colleen McCormack said she was in the hot tub outside her Pembroke home about 9PM Wednesday when she spotted the object.

“I was chilling in my hot tub, I look up in the sky to see something tiny, floating. I’m like, ‘What is that?'” she told WHDH-TV.

McCormack got her phone out and recorded video of the unusual scene.

“It looked like it was on fire or something and it was just coming down really fast,” McCormack told WFXT-TV. “I have no idea what it could have been.”

The FAA said there were no reports of debris in the area. Officials declined to comment on the video.

“My heart was pounding because I just looked up,” McCormack said. “I’m like oh god what is about to happen right now?”

The witness said she expected to her a loud sound when the object hit the earth, but there was no noise after it disappeared from view.

“It was really quiet. You couldn’t like really hear anything. That’s why I was just like more confused. When stuff flies over all the time, you hear it,” she said.

The DoD and the FAA monitor unidentified aerial phenomenon and the National Archives recently released their records of UFO sightings.

Australia has reportedly been experiencing a plague of unidentified flying object sightings. Coriolanus cannot confirm the provenance of this video:

US Marshals Rescue 60 Exploited Children in Florida

Billboards like this have been appearing in Florida for some time.

US Marshals in Florida, in conjunction with a vast array of partners, led a missing child operation that resulted in the recovery or safe location of 60 critically missing children from across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties.

Operation DRAGON EYE, the product of a multidisciplinary task force of federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as social service entities, the medical community, and non-governmental organizations planning and executing a two-week initiative geared to recover or safely locate the most critically missing youth, has been deemed the most successful missing child operation in USMS history. The USMS defines “critically missing” children as those at risk of crimes of violence or those with other elevated risk factors such as substance abuse, sexual exploitation, crime exposure, or domestic violence.

This operation had three primary objectives: recover critically missing youth, provide them with essential services including appropriate placement, and to deter bad actors exploiting missing child vulnerabilities.

Recovered children were provided with medical resources, nourishment, social services, and child advocates. Operation DRAGON EYE child welfare and social service partners said they are proud of this operation’s achievements.

INTERPOL recently led a worldwide operation against miscreants that distributed child sexploitation material and last May the FBI arrested several child abuse suspects in Florida.

Ex-US Army NCO Pleads Guilty for Selling Secrets to China

Former US Army NCO Joseph Daniel Schmidt (31) pleaded guilty to attempt to deliver national defense information and retention of national defense information. He faces up to ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine when sentenced by USDJ John C. Coughenour on 9 Sep 2025. Schmidt was an active-duty soldier from Jan 2015 to Jan 2020. In his primary assignment in the 109th MI BN, Schmidt had access to SECRET and TOP SECRET information. After his separation from the military, Schmidt reached out to the Chinese Consulate in Turkiye and later, the Chinese security services via email offering national defense information (NDI).

In March 2020, Schmidt traveled to Hong Kong and continued his efforts to provide Chinese intelligence with classified information he obtained from his military service. He created multiple lengthy documents describing various “high level secrets” he was offering to the Chinese government. He retained a device that allows for access to secure military computer networks and offered the device to Chinese authorities to assist them in efforts to gain access to such networks.

Schmidt remained in China, primarily Hong Kong, until Oct 2023, when he flew to San Francisco and was then arrested by the FBI at the airport.

The Chinese MSS use the “thousand grains of sand” approach to collecting intelligence. The volume of small bits or large chunks of NDI the MSS receives results in a rich mosaic of information for analysts in Beijing. The MSS creates dossiers linking images, personnel, email addresses, phone numbers, weapons systems, schedules, test launches, etc. The amount of compensation Schmidt received is not reported, but whatever it is, this young man threw away his life with his awful decision and amateurish tradecraft. US Army Counterintelligence has a rich tradition dating back to the First World War. During the Second World War, CIC was invaluable in capturing Third Reich rocket scientists and art looted by stolen by the Nazis.  Their only black eye was joining the FBI’s COINTELPRO which monitored Vietnam antiwar protestors and draft evaders, which was exposed by a US Army Counterintelligence Agent who testified to the US Congress.

Measles Spreading in Mexico Because of RFK Jr.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr secretly vaccinated his own children, according to hos first cousin, Caroline (the daughter of JFK).

Mexico has reported a surge in measles cases in the border state of Chihuahua following an outbreak of the highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease in unvaccinated communities in Texas. Dr. Paul Offit, a Philadelphia pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases, says RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine misinformation is to blame.

The measles outbreak, Mexico’s largest in decades, has spread beyond the Mennonite settlements, impacting neighboring Indigenous populations and raising concerns about international transmission, particularly given Chihuahua’s location on the US border. While officials acknowledge the progress made through collaboration with Mennonite leaders and report tens of thousands of new vaccinations, the infection rate continues to rise. There may be as many as 2,000 cases of measles in northern Mexico.

Not only is RFK Jr’s homicidal antivax misinformation campaign killing Americans, but its also harming religious or uneducated simpletons in Mexico. Worse, this mountebank and hypocrite made a tidy fortune for himself as an antivax campaigner.

France: Lunatics Attacked 145 People With Syringes at Music Festival

French police arrested 12 suspects after 145 people reported being pricked with syringes during the country’s annual street music festival. Millions of people took to the streets across France on the evening of 21 Jun for the Fete de la Musique, with the authorities reporting “unprecedented crowds” in Paris.

Before the party, posts on social media had called for women to be targeted during the festivities. 145 victims across the country had reported being stabbed with needles, 13 in Paris. Some victims felt unwell after the stabbings.

Officials did not say if these were cases of so-called needle spiking with date-rape drugs such as Rohypnol or GHB, used by attackers to render victims confused or unconscious and vulnerable to sexual assault. Some victims were taken to hospital for toxicological tests.

Pricking innocent people with syringes is unspeakably horrible. Those needles could be rusty or contaminated with bacteria, in addition to rape drugs or any other toxins. This appears to be a misogynist and/or xenophobic attack against women and minorities.  If a Russian connection is detected, this would be part of the Kremlin’s “hybrid warfare” campaign to cause havoc in the West by sowing unrest and depleting its resources with inexpensive terrorist or sabotage attacks. Tourism generates revenue for Europe, even though some locals in Spain and Italy have begun protesting tourists because of the erosion of their quality-of-life. Attacks like this will discourage travel to France. Sidenote: The heat wave in Paris forced the temporary closure of the Eiffel Tower this week and Bastille Day (14 July) is fast approaching.

California: Mother Bear and Cub Raid Refrigerator in Upscale Tahoe Keys

Serial Killer At Large in Middle East

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu. The allegations: Responsible for using starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing attacks against civilian populations; crimes against humanity including murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024.

This man is dangerous. Do not approach and call INTERPOL immediately at telephone number 33 4 7244 7000 if he is seen or located.

Netanyahu’s Thugs Bully Greta Thunberg

After Israeli police arrested antiwar Samaritan Greta Thunberg (bottom right of photo) for trying to feed the starving people in Gaza last week, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu had Greta Thunberg watch death films of the 7 Oct 2023 Palestinian raid into Israel which was conducted to capture hostages for a prisoner swap. After she politely declined and this brutal chapter was completed, Greta was deported. Then Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a surprise attack on Iran called Operation Rising Lion.

The Donald Trumpf junta was aware of the imminent attack and had ordered non-essential State Dept and DoD personnel home from several locations in the Middle East days before the attack. US negotiators were about to begin the sixth round of nuclear talks with their Iranian counterparts in Rome.  Recall that Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and Israel is not. Iran’s nuclear program was being monitored by the IAEA under the JCPOA agreement, until Dotard Trumpf recklessly pulled out of it during his first Reign of Terror. Note the number of Iranians previously assassinated by the Israelis and the recent victims of Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloodlust:

US and UK forces are ready to assist the belligerent Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu. The UK has sent Tornado fighter jets to the Middle East and the already US presence in the Middle East is on high alert.  The Iraqi government wants the remaining US military personnel out of the country because they did not like Israel using their airspace to attack Iran. Moreover, US personnel in Iraq are vulnerable to attack by pro-Iranian Shia militias who see the US as an ally of Israel, which it is thanks to AIPAC.

With nothing substantial or intelligent to convey at the G-7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada and still stinging from his humiliating birthday parade where his own wife Melania (AKA Melanoma) nodded off, President Dotard Trumpf used the Israeli war as an excuse to depart after the first day of talks on Monday. Air Force One is a ‘flying White House’ with all of the telecommunications necessary to prosecute a war so there was no technical reason for him to go. But with sharp Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum and Ukraine President Volodomir Zelensky scheduled to meet him Tuesday, Dotard Trumpf “chickened out,” living up to his new sobriquet ‘TACO Don’: Trumpf Always Chickens Out.

Ottawa allowed Trumpf to enter the country since as a convicted felon, he is prohibited by law from entry into Canada. While there, Trumpf unabashedly promoted Russian President Vladimir Putin (72), an ICC-indicted war criminal:

Murder-Death-Kill Campaign Continues in Gaza

While the G-7 leaders enjoyed fine wine, food, and Canadian hospitality in Alberta, this is happening in the Gaza Strip. The abominable cruelty and misery inflicted on these poor people by the Israelis is unimaginable. Have they no pity? (Photo: Al Jazeera)

The IDF killed at least 65 Palestinians and wounded 315 others in the Gaza Strip this past weekend.  Since October 2023, the hardworking American taxpayer has helped to kill 55,362 Palestinians, with an additional 128,741 injured or maimed. The majority of the victims are women and children. After US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ensured US aid would flow uninterrupted to Israel by capitulating on the GOP budget, the IDF resumed ethnic cleansing on 18 March. Since then, the IDF murdered 5,071 Palestinians; 16,700 others were injured or maimed. In the West Bank, Israeli lunatics set fire to agricultural land in the town of Turmus Ayya northeast of Ramallah, destroying several olive groves.

So, while Americans and Canadians celebrated Father’s Day this past weekend, Palestinians mourned the deaths of their fathers, thanks to Western complicity. Adjusting for inflation, US aid to Israel from 1951 to 2022 totaled $317.9 billion, making it the largest recipient of American foreign aid since World War II. In March, USSECSTATE Marco Rubio expedited $4bn of American taxpayer money to Israel.  The Democratic Party, which has become an effective platform for AIPAC, will permanently lose seven to eight million antiwar Samaritans and progressives in future national elections against the GOP just as they did in 1968 and 2024. Their consciences will be clear.

Meanwhile Benjamin Netanyahu, a serial killer in the likes of John Wayne Gacy, Jack the Ripper, Son of Sam, the Zodiac Killer, or Charles Manson, remains at large in Israel, although the indicted war criminal makes occasional appearances at his criminal corruption trial in Tel Aviv. The Israeli National Police have not arrested and turned Netanyahu over to the Hague for prosecution.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of a law.

UK: Blaise Metreweli Appointed as First Woman to Lead MI6

Blaise Metreweli has spent her entire career in the intelligence community and is of Georgian ancestry. She will take over from Sir Richard Moore later this year. (Photo: UK Foreign Office / AP / BBC)

Blaise Metreweli (47) will be the first woman to lead the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). She is currently Director General “Q”, the head of the crucial technology and innovation division that keeps the identities of operatives secret. “Q” comes up with methods to counter adversaries like China that uses biometric surveillance. Metreweli joined MI6 in 1999 and worked continuously as an intelligence officer, including director-level roles at MI5, the domestic intelligence service.

Historic note: The first head of MI6 was Royal Navy Captain Mansfield Cumming. He always signed his letters “C” and the codename has stuck. Captain Cumming wrote in green ink, so to this day, the head of MI6 is the only person in Whitehall who will write in green.

As predicted, a woman will take charge of MI6 for the first time. MI6 appointed an experienced and well-regarded insider who is fairly youthful over the other two qualified female candidates. Ms. Metreweli will run rings around the rank amateurs leading the USIC: ODNI Tulsi Gabbard, D/CIA John Ratcliffe, and D/FBI Kashyap Pramod “Kash” Patel. Dotard Trumpf appointed the first female D/CIA during his first administration, Gina Haspel.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Illegally Interfering in Inspector-General (IG) Offices

Senior Democratic lawmakers accused DNI Tulsi Gabbard of violating the law with personnel moves that threaten the independent oversight of the 18 intelligence agencies she oversees. In this letter, they provide new details of a standoff between Gabbard and her congressionally mandated inspector general. At stake is the fate of an office established by Congress in 2010 to provide independent oversight over what are now 18 US civilian and military intelligence agencies. Dotard Trumpf has frequently shown hostility toward inspectors general ” he fired one of Johnson’s predecessors during his first term in 2019 ” and in Jan 2025 he fired most inspectors general at federal Cabinet agencies.

Islamophobic, homophobic Tulsi Gabbard is the most underqualified person to ever lead a US intelligence organization. This shrew was chosen to lead the USIC to gut it, not empower it to protect US interests. These moves to fire the IGs protect Felon Musk and other cronies from being scrutinized of the abominable and massive larcenies they are perpetrating on the American taxpayer. Moreover, without independent IGs, there are no watchdogs keeping the Trumpf-filled USIC from abusing its tremendous powers of surveillance, wire-tapping, and data collection.

Emptyhead Tulsi Gabbard admitted use of the Signal App chat was a mistake. Then she used ArtificiaI Intelligence (AI) to de-classify the JFK assassination files, which led to the disaster of people’s personal information– specifically their social security numbers– being made public. This became a bonanza for identity thieves. At least 200 Congressional staffers personal data was exposed, as well as others.

Dotard Trumpf Pick to Lead FAA Lied About His Pilot License

Republic Airways President and CEO Bryan Bedford testifies in Washington, 11 Jun 2025. (Photo: Kevin Dietsch / Getty Images)

Bryan Bedford, the nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administration, for years erroneously stated in his Republic Airways bio that he is a pilot with a “commercial” rating.

Bedford’s biography at Republic Airways, the regional airline where he has been CEO since 1999, said until Thursday that he “holds commercial, multi-engine and instrument ratings.” The word “commercial” has since been removed. The FAA registry that houses data on pilot’s licenses does not list any such commercial credentials for Bedford.

Similar language asserting commercial credentials for Bedford appeared in his Republic bio since at least 2010according to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

The ‘President Plane Crash’ meme has proven to be generally true, as US aviation safety has declined since Dotard Trumpf’s inauguration.

A far better choice to head the FAA would be any number of retired USAF generals, rather than a political donor who for decades has been lying about his aviation credentials.

Germany Has Evidence of Russia’s Plans to Attack NATO

Bruno Kahl, President of Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND), stated that Russia is preparing to test the credibility of NATO’s Article V, adding that German intelligence has concrete evidence of the Kremlin’s preparations for potential aggression against the Alliance. The BND chief emphasized that Moscow no longer believes in the reliability of NATO’s collective defence system ” particularly Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty, which guarantees a joint response in the event of an attack on a member state.

 “We are very sure, and we have intelligence evidence to back this up, that [Russia’s full-scale invasion of] Ukraine is only one step on Russia’s path towards the West.”

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has issued similar warnings in the past, repeatedly stating that Germany must be “ready for war” by the end of this decade. Ukraine’s intelligence chief publicly echoed the same analysis.

The Trumpf junta has already signaled the US military won’t be participating in NATO drills after 2025. This year CIA abruptly withdrew the name of Ralph Goff, an experienced senior officer with impeccable anti-Russian credentials, to lead the Directorate of Operations. The EU and NATO recognize the threat from Vladimir Putin (72) and with Canada, initiated the Rearm Europe program. Meanwhile in the US, AIPAC will ensure that Israel continues receiving US military aid at the expense of Ukraine and NATO.

Hybrid Warfare: Ukrainian Civilians Targeted in Europe

Ukrainians in Europe are being attacked by pro-Kremlin assailants. In Berlin, a 51-year-old man was attacked by two men wielding a knife after he was heard speaking Ukrainian and asked about his nationality. When he replied that he was Ukrainian, one of the assailants stabbed him in the abdomen. Last year, a 15-year-old refugee was stabbed in the German city of Dortmund and the body of a 27-year-old Ukrainian woman was found in Gochsheim. A 46-year-old woman and her six-year-old daughter were found dead in their Belgium home this month. The paterfamilias is serving in the Ukrainian Army.

These crimes against soft Ukrainian targets fall under the rubric of asymmetric or hybrid’ warfare of attacking weak links in the enemy’s armor to undermine morale and waste precious resources protecting vulnerable targets. These defenseless Ukrainian civilians didn’t stand a chance against their attackers. The NATO sabotage alert level remain HIGH because of the Kremlin’s continuous nefarious activities in Europe to weaken the coalition by exploiting weaknesses in defenses.

Mexico: Drug Cartels Recruiting Former Colombian Soldiers

Colombian military veterans should not be underestimated by any organization.

Mexico’s most powerful drug cartels are recruiting former Colombian soldiers, prompting Mexican authorities to turn away Colombians trying to enter the country. Last week twelve Colombians in the western state of Michoacan were arrested in connection with a mine attack that killed eight Mexican soldiers. Close underworld ties have long existed between organized crime groups in Mexico and Colombia. For many years, Colombian drug traffickers produced cocaine and heroin and moved it themselves by boat or plane to the US. Later, as US authorities cracked down on trafficking in the Caribbean, Mexican cartels’ power grew as they moved Colombian drugs over land and via small plane to the US border and smuggled them across.

Decades of internal conflict in Colombia have produced tens of thousands of former soldiers, paramilitaries, and guerrillas with weapons training and combat experience. Many officers were trained in the US Army’s School of the Americas. Colombian military veterans have also joined Ukraine’s army for the money, adventure, and camaraderie. These veterans make for formidable adversaries for any military or law-enforcement agency to deal with.

Sidenote: Colombia is still dealing with internal strife. At least four people were killed as rebel groups detonated bombs near police stations in the city of Cali and the neighboring Cauca province. The attacks were blamed on the FARC-EMC, a group led by former members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) who broke away from the group after it signed a peace deal with the government in 2016.

NJ: Legendary Gang Member Returns to Pagans Motorcycle Club

Legendary Pagans exile Robert DeRonde (61) AKA ‘Hellboy’, once cast out by the club, had been welcomed back. Hellboy rejoins as the Pagans face threats on multiple fronts from rival outlaw motorcycle groups looking to grow in New Jersey, including the hated Hells Angels and the Warlocks.

“Hellboy is the symbol of Pagan Nation,” said Edwin Torres, a special agent with the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation, referring to DeRonde by his nickname. “He was a huge part of the Pagan culture. He was the go-to guy, well-liked and respected by everyone.” DeRonde was repatched into the Pagans in late May after three years of inactivity. There’s also uncertainty within the group about what happens now that the former president, Keith “Conan” Richter, is out of prison. Richter took over the Pagans by force in 2018 and has rapidly expanded its ranks, taking the club from several hundred to more than 3,000 members by recruiting light-skinned Latino members from traditional street gangs, like the Latin Kings, though they still prohibit Black people from joining their ranks..

Robert DeRonde earned the nickname “Hellboy” because he tends to turn red when angry like the comic book superhero. DeRonde has, or at least seems to have, superhuman strength and a resistance to injury. A muscular 5-foot-11, he’s a scrappy fighter who doesn’t often lose. DeRonde was the unquestioned enforcer of the Pagans before his ouster. Pagans have attacked innocent motorists and would then intimidate them from testifying against them in court.

The term “outlaw motorcycle gang” (OMC) was coined by the journalist Hunter S. Thompson in 1966 and was subsequently adopted by federal and local law enforcement agencies in the US and elsewhere. The US FBI and Criminal Intelligence Service Canada have designated four MCs as “outlaw motorcycle gangs”: the Hells Angels, the Pagans, the Outlaws, and the Bandidos These “outlaw motorcycle gangs” operate illegal businesses like drug and weapons trafficking, extortion, or as you read here on Coriolanus, murder for hire, all under the guise of being a legitimate club. The members of these “OMCs” are dangerous mofongos and of course they should be avoided at all times and at all costs.

Ex-CIA Analyst Sentenced Three Years for Posting on Social Media Israeli Murder-Death-Kill Attack Plans Against Iran

Former CIA analyst Asif William Rahman (34) of Vienna was sentenced to 37 months in prison for unlawfully leaking classified information on social media platforms in October 2024. Rahman accessed and released Top Secret documents regarding Israel and its planned actions against Iran on social media platforms. Some of the documents referred to Israel’s nuclear capabilities, which have never been officially acknowledged. He then engaged in a deletion campaign of his work products on his Top Secret work station. Continuing through Nov 2024, Rahman repeated the process. Rahman, who worked abroad, was arrested by the FBI in Cambodia and brought to the US territory of Guam to face charges. On 17 Jan 2025, Rahman pleaded guilty to two counts under the Espionage Act and has remained in custody since his arrest. The BOP has not yet released information as to which prison Asif William Rahman (USMS #46561-511) will be confined in.

Asif William Rahman leaked this information last year in a vain attempt to prevent the war that bloodthirsty Benjamin Netanyahu started anyway on 12 Jun 2025. Nota Bene: Another young man, a DIA employee, was recently arrested for attempting to sell classified information after growing disgusted and disgruntled with the Trumpf junta.

White Supremacist Terrorism

Apprehended Minnesota Political Assassin Had List of 70 Victims

Vance Luther Boelter (57) is a Christian evangelical zealot.

White supremacist Christian terrorist Vance Luther Boelter was arrested after a manhunt for assassinating a US lawmaker and her husband and brutally shooting another couple. He had a list of at least 70 Democrat lawmakers and other private citizens he was planning to murder.

Here is footage of the maniac, Vance Luther Boelter, in an African church celebrating God:

During Boelter’s bloody rampage, this Christian lunatic also shot a beloved golden retriever, a defenseless rescue dog named Chester, who was later euthanized.

 

Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted this photo below on social media after news broke that two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses were shot and killed in Minnesota.

During “No Kings Day” activities in the US, several incidents occurred against anti-Trumpf citizens and there are simply too many to detail here. One example of a “useful idiot” answering the call to harm Democrats and liberals is this white supremacist terrorist below, who allegedly drove his SUV into a crowd of defenseless people in Culpepper, Virginia. At the tender age of 21, Joseph R. Checklick Jr. recklessly threw his life away:

Accomplice Arrested in California Fertility Clinic Bombing

Daniel Jongyon Park and the Palm Springs fertility clinic in California after the kamikaze attack.

Daniel Jongyon Park (32) was arrested for providing material support to the Palm Springs fertility clinic bomber. The suicide bomber, Guy Edward Bartkus (25), was motivated by pro-mortalism, anti-natalism, and anti-pro-life ideologies, which is the belief that individuals should not be born without their consent and that non-existence is best. Park, who shares Bartkus’ psychotic views, provided him with at least 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate. Both maniacs ran experiments with chemicals and used AI to assist with their attack planning. Bartkus liquidated himself in the kamikaze attack and Park fled to Europe, but was extradited to the US from Poland. If convicted, Park would face a statutory maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison.

A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Mental illness is increasing in the US, as is membership in dangerous online cults, like the ‘Zizians.’ Meanwhile, phantom insurance’ companies are not treating the unwell and the Trumpf junta is slashing the budgets of HHS and the CDC. Trumpf also loosened firearm regulations, so Americans should expect to see an increase in violence from lunatics like Daniel Jongyon Park, Guy Edward Bartkus, or Vance Luther Boelter, either by firearms, explosives, stabbings, or vehicle ramming.

US: Painful Invasive Species of Ants Spreading

Asian needle ant.

The invasive Asian needle ant is a stinging, carnivorous pismire that has been slowly spreading across the US. Last year at least three cases of life-threatening anaphylactic reactions were reported in Georgia, making this little (and little-known) insect a growing problem. Asian needle ants will reach their yearly peak numbers in July and August. They are small and blend in so well that stings often occur when someone, perhaps while gardening or moving wood, unknowingly disturbs them. “Imagine somebody inserting a needle directly into your flesh,” said one researcher. These ants are now widespread on the East Coast. For some, the stings can be life-threatening. For others, it’s an unusual pain that can come and go for hours. Pet owners should be vigilant about where their dogs and cats venture to

Interactive map here:

Brachyponera chinensis roughly translates as “short, wicked ant from China,” though they’re actually native to China, Japan, and the Koreas. And by some older translations it could also be “short constricted ants from China.” These ants were first discovered in 1932 in Decatur, GA, but was only recognized as a serious pest in the past two decades as it began to spread significantly throughout the southeast.

The Asian needle ant is difficult to eradicate because it doesn’t lay pheromone trails that can be disrupted or easily used to get the ants to inadvertently take poison back to their nests.

The painful Asian needle ant has been detected in Florida where President Dotard Trumpf wastes a preponderance of his time golfing, all paid for the by the hardworking American taxpayer.

Perhaps these Asian needle ants would be kind enough to oblige us one day:

US: Two Sadists Indicted for Torturing and Killing Monkeys

Katrina D. Favret, of TN and Robert M. Craig, of NC, conspired with previously charged defendant Ronald P. Bedra, of Etna, OH, to create and distribute so-called “animal crush videos.” The videos alleged to have been created included depictions of monkeys being sodomized with a heated screwdriver and a monkey having its genitals cut with scissors. The conspirators used encrypted chat applications to direct money to individuals in Indonesia willing to commit the requested acts of torture on camera.

A year-long BBC investigation has uncovered a sadistic global monkey torture ring stretching from Indonesia to the US. These maniacs mutilate and kill baby long-tailed macaques on film:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/Iot1dIWVS5/hunting-the-monkey-torturers

Below, Mike Macartney, a key video distributor in the US known by his screen name, “The Torture King.”  “It went from baby bottle teasing to fingers being snipped off.” No one should be surprised at the Confederate and Dotard Trumpf flags adorning his Virginia home. This lunatic is facing five years in prison and appears to be still be at large.

Unwell people are not getting the treatment, medications, or therapy they need to function as normal members of society. Austerity cuts to the social safety net under the Trump junta and “phantom insurance” companies that won’t pay for treatments will only exacerbate the problem of spreading mental illness in the American population.

Canada: Samaritan Couple Rescue Beautiful Collie from Demise in the Nick of Time

Josee and Vic on their wedding day.

When Vic and Josee read in the news that a beautiful abandoned young collie was about to be euthanized, they immediately drove several hours south to Montreal from northern Quebec.

Arriving at the nick of time, the couple immediately rescued the poor creature whom they re-christened “Mike.” Here he is in Vic and Josee’s car for the first time.

Mike the collie on his way to his new home.

Josee, who is a naturo-therapist, herbalist, entrepreneur, and avid reader, and her husband Vic were already managing a robust menagerie of fauna and flora in their habitat. They quickly began training this highly intelligent and affectionate canine.

The two new best friends.

In his illustrious career, Vic was a fireman, English teacher, and former Cold Warrior who flew on intelligence missions against the Soviet Union during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Another avid reader, Vic also maintains his private pilot license to this day.

“Unspeakable Suffering”: Israeli Military Kills Nine Children from Same Family

Pediatrician Dr. Alaa al-Najjar (38) left her ten children at home last Friday when she went to work in the emergency room at the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza.

Hours later, the bodies of seven children – most of them badly burned – arrived at the hospital. They were Dr. Najjar’s own children, killed in an IDF airstrike on her family’s home. The bodies of her two other children, a seven-month-old and a two-year-old, were trapped under the rubble. Only one of her ten children – critically injured – survived. Dr. Najjar’s husband, himself a doctor, was also critically injured in the strike.

Dr al-Najjar is facing “unspeakable suffering,” colleague Dr Angelova-Chee ruefully said.

The IDF said aircraft had “struck a number of suspects who were identified operating from a structure adjacent to IDF troops in the area of Khan Yunis” and was reviewing the claim civilians had been killed.

By their own admission, the IDF struck “suspects” without positive identification. The only due process Palestinians receive from the IDF is death from a safe distance with US-provided munitions.

Top genocide scholars from several countries are unanimous that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.  Sadistically aiding and abetting these atrocities is the US government. In March 2025, USSECSTATE Marco Rubio signed a declaration to use emergency authorities to expedite the delivery of approximately four billion dollars of American taxpayer funds in military assistance to Israel.

The Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught since October 2023 has risen to 53,939 fatalities, with an additional 122,797 people wounded or maimed. The majority of the victims are women and children. Frustration with American and European complicity in the ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank have led to attacks against Israeli targets by angry volunteers in various locations, as you will read later.

South Africa and other countries leveled charges of genocide against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Mexico: 700 Animals Rescued from Drug Cartel Violence

Elephants, lions, and tigers await relocation from Ostok Sanctuary amid cartel violence near Culiacán. (Photo: Felix Marquez)

A Mexican wildlife sanctuary has evacuated hundreds of exotic animals to escape cartel violence near Culiacn, Sinaloa, marking one of the largest animal relocations in the country’s history. 700 animals including elephants, tigers, and lions, were transported from Ostok Sanctuary 140 miles to a new refuge in Mazatln after months of armed attacks, threats, and supply shortages. A 15-truck convoy, escorted by National Guard personnel, accompanied zoo veterinary technicians and wildlife management specialists. Ostok Sanctuary is located 25 km north of the capital of Culiacn, a city that rival factions of the Sinaloa Cartel have turned into a battlefield for territorial control, following last summer’s arrest and extradition to the US of cartel leader Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada.

The American demand for illegal drugs continue making trafficking a lucrative business for the Mexican cartels. At least 70% of recovered weapons in Mexico originated in the US, called the “Iron River” by Mexicans. This month drug cartel assassins ambushed three security consultants who worked with the USG.  Good for these poor innocent animals rescued from the cruelties of man.

Moldova Extradites White Supremacist Terrorist to US

Michail Chkhikvishvili (Photo: Justice Department)

Georgian national Michail Chkhikvishvili (21) AKA “Commander Butcher” was extradited to the US from Moldova. Chkhikvishvili was arrested in connection with planning a mass casualty attack in NYC. Chkhikvishvili is a leader of the Maniac Murder Cult. This defendant allegedly planned to poison Jewish children and carry out mass murder in NYC. Via the internet he incited bombings, arsons, and violence against racial and religious minorities, driven by a hateful Neo-Nazi ideology. Michail Chkhikvishvili faces 50 years in prison if convicted on four counts of terrorism-related charges.  

Chkhikvishvili wanted the planned attack to be a “bigger action than Breivik,” referring to Anders Behring Breivik, a Norwegian Neo‑Nazi who killed 77 people in a bombing and mass shooting in Norway in 2011. Meanwhile, Chkhikvishvili told others of his plan and claimed to have previously committed other hate crimes while living in Brooklyn in 2022.  Chkhikvishvili boasted to others that he was “glad I have murdered,” and that he would “murder more” but “make others murder first.”

Some of the 77 innocent victims of Anders Behring Breivik.

This maniac may have already murdered someone, which authorities will investigate. This is a thoroughly dangerous and revolting lunatic who should be separated from society quickly and for a long time.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Mental Illness Increasing in US

Feliz Enrique was indicted with assault in the first degree and other crimes. The defendant allegedly approached a nine-year-old girl as she was playing on a Queens street and forcefully struck the child with his hand on 10 May. Video surveillance film above shows Enrique winding up (left) and then pummeling the defenseless child with hurricane force (right). When a nearby, off-duty NYPD Sergeant intervened with bystanders to apprehend him following the incident, Enrique allegedly bit off the top segment of the officer’s right index finger.

The girl was treated at a local hospital and sustained bruising to her arm and back, bleeding to her lip and arm, loose teeth, as well as substantial pain. The injured NYPD officer was also treated at a local hospital and sustained bite marks to his hand and leg, and abrasions to his arm and leg. Physicians were unable to reattach the officer’s fingertip.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Florida: Miscreant Sentenced One Month for Killing Defenseless Dolphins

Zackery Brandon Barfield (31) of Panama City, FL was sentenced to 30 days imprisonment, a $51,000 fine, and one-year supervised release for poisoning and shooting dolphins. Barfield grew frustrated with dolphins eating red snapper from the lines of his charter fishing clients. He began placing methomyl inside baitfish to poison the dolphins that surfaced near his boat. Methomyl is a highly toxic pesticide that acts on the nervous system of humans, mammals, and other animals. Barfield recognized methomyl’s toxicity and impact on the environment but continued to feed poisoned baitfish to the dolphins for months. Barfield also used a 12-gauge shotgun to shoot the defenseless dolphins that surfaced near his vessel, killing one immediately.

On other occasions, Barfield shot, but did not immediately kill, dolphins near his vessel. On one trip the maniac shot an innocent dolphin while two elementary-aged children were on board, and another with more than a dozen fisherman on board.

Dolphins have highly developed language abilities and can learn complicated tricks. Coriolanus and his wife safely swam with the dolphins in the Caribbean. Dolphins have served the US and Russian navies and some believe they can even sense cancer tumors. A marine biologist said: “They have culture, they use tools, they have complex societies. These animals are very much like us because of their social complexities, their behavior, their level of self-awareness.” Some researchers have argued that dolphins should be afforded the same human rights as people.

Zackery Brandon Barfield shot and poisoned these defenseless, intelligent mammals, as if the earth’s waters and her sea life aren’t threatened enough with toxic algae, oil spills, pollution, and dangerous chemicals. One month is far too short a sentence for this miscreant. And yes, you guessed correctly; this gun-loving maniac is a registered Republican.

Nihilist Dies in Suicide Attack Against California Fertility Clinic

Guy Edward Bartkus, who is thought to have died in the blast, left behind writings which suggest he disapproved of people being brought into the world against their will.

Bartkus detonated explosives outside the clinic on Saturday morning and tried to livestream the attack. Four other people were injured in the explosion and have been released from hospital. None of the wounded are staff or patients at the clinic.

Russia-Ukraine Update

The US National Security Agency (NSA) reports that hackers working for Russian military intelligence (GRU) are targeting Western technology and logistics companies involved in shipping assistance to Ukraine, including US ports, airports, and rail systems. The hackers are trying to obtain details about the type of assistance entering Ukraine and sought access to internet-connected cameras near Ukrainian border crossings, amongst other probes. The full unclassified report is linked at bottom.

“Mum, I’ve been exchanged, I’m home!” (Image: President Volodomir Zelensky via Telegram)

Russian forces executed two Ukrainian POWs near Udachne in Donetsk Oblast. Nevertheless, Ukraine and Russia conducted the largest POW exchange of the war: 270 soldiers and 120 civilians returned to Kiev. Polish fighter jets intercepted a Russian Su-24 bomber in international airspace over the Baltic Sea. The incident marks the latest in a series of Russian provocations near NATO territory.

Pro-Kremlin Ukrainian Politician Shot Dead in Spain

Andriy Portnov in happier times.

Unknown assailants permanently removed a US-sanctioned pro-Kremlin politician from the chessboard in an affluent neighborhood in Madrid, Spain. Andriy Portnov (51) had just dropped his children off at the school in the Pozuelo de Alarcón area of the city and was walking to his car in the school parking area. At least one unidentified attacker fired several shots at the quisling before fleeing into a wooded area in a nearby public park. Portnov had been an MP and deputy head in the administration of Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian president ousted in 2014 after months of protests. The ripesuck reportedly made a fortune collecting bribes as a “fixer” in Ukraine’s judicial system which led to his sanctioning by the Biden administration.

The government of Ukraine investigated Portnov for his involvement in Russia’s annexation of Crimea and other crimes, but there is no record that any official charges were pressed against this quisling. Unclear is how much of Ukraine’s wealth Portnov siphoned off from the Ukrainian treasury or how much he amassed collecting bribes. Whatever the amounts were, his wealth didn’t save him from a hail of bullets by unknown assassins.

The Ukrainian espionage and counterintelligence services are first rate, but no one has claimed credit for this assassination and there are no suspects yet. Russian organized crime or the FSB is as good a suspect as the Ukrainian special services in the dark world of Russian oligarchs.

Appalling Russian Military Losses Continue

International arrest warrants issued by the ICC for war crimes remain active for Russia President Vladimir Putin and Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu. 

An indictment is merely an accusation. Both defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Made False Bomb Threat to Bring Attention to Gaza Genocide

Los Angeles Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Brian K. Williams. (Photo: Public domain)

Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Brian K. Williams (61) was charged with threatening to bomb Los Angeles City Hall last year in a single-count information. Williams agreed to plead guilty to the felony charge, which carries a statutory maximum sentence of ten years in federal prison. Williams used the Google Voice application on his personal cellphone to place a call to his city-issued cellphone and then falsely reported:

“Bomb threat: I received phone call on my city cell at 10:48 am this morning. The male caller stated that he was tired of the city support of Israel, and he has decided to place a bomb in City Hall. It might be in the rotunda.’ 

In fact, Williams received no such call and had made the bomb threat himself. At no time did Williams intend to carry out the threat.

Frustrated with unqualified US support for Israel and the genocide in Gaza which has killed over 53,939 Palestinians, wounding or maiming 122,797, Deputy Mayor Williams seemed to think the publicity from his bomb threat would bring attention to this grave injustice. Of the billions of dollars the US sends to Israel every year, the State of California contributes a total of $609,845,124, the most out of any other state.

Here’s Why

Palestinian children being mourned.

This support for Israel cost the Democratic Party the presidential election on 5 Nov 2024.

Argentina: Nazi War Criminals Allegedly Paid $200M in Bribes to Perón Govt

President Juan Domingo Perón and wife Eva Duarte.

Recently declassified files suggest that Nazi war criminals may have paid $200 million in gold bribes to Argentine authorities to secure refuge in the country after World War II.

The files indicate German submarines transported the gold to Argentina’s southern coast, where it was delivered to Eva Duarte, wife of then-President Juan Domingo Perón. The money was reportedly later handled by German bankers Richard von Frente, Ricardo Stauch, and Rodolf Freude.

The released material includes 1,850 documents compiled into seven files dating from 1950 to 1980. The records confirm that Third Reich fugitives arrived in Argentina beginning in 1945 with the protection of Peron, and that their arrival was not isolated but part of a larger effort.

Nazi ideology had gained notable support in Argentina as early as the 1930s. On 10 April 1938, nearly 10,000 people attended a rally organized by the German embassy at Luna Park stadium in Buenos Aires.

Otto Skorzeny was Der Fuhrer’s favorite commando. In 1943, he rescued Benito Mussolini from prison in a daring raid using gliders. Skorzeny, an avid fencer, was proud of the scar on the left side of his face. Undated image from the public domain,

Infamous Waffen-SS commando Otto Skorzeny, once described by SHAEF Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower as “the most dangerous man in Europe,” wended his way to Argentina after WWII and served as a bodyguard to Eva Perón, who he allegedly had an affair with. Skorzeny eventually moved to Ireland in June 1957 and then to Madrid, Spain, where he would die at age 67 in 1975.

You may never watch Evita again the same way again.

Being Palestinian is Becoming Illegal in America

Note the language in this Justice Department Press Release:

“Palestinian Nationals Charged With Unlawful Possession Of Firearms And Ammunition”

“Mohammed Aburidi (24, Palestinian) and Tareq Aburidi (19, Palestinian) with possessing firearms and ammunition as aliens admitted to the US on nonimmigrant visas. If convicted, each faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison. An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.” 

The press release reads “Palestinian Nationals…” and not “Two Florida Men…” Imagine if Justice Department statements read “Two Black Men….” There is no reason for this brazen language in the document other than to imply that the two defendants have an inherent ‘mens rea’ simply for being Palestinian.

Trumpf Junta Calls for 20,000 Deportation Officers

Excerpted from the Presidential Proclamation Establishing Project Homecoming, dated 9 May 2025:

“The Secretary of Homeland Security shall supplement existing enforcement and removal operations by deputizing and contracting with State and local law enforcement officers, former Federal officers, officers and personnel within other Federal agencies, and other individuals to increase the enforcement and removal operations force of the Department of Homeland Security by no less than 20,000 officers in order to conduct an intensive campaign to remove illegal aliens who have failed to depart voluntarily.”

“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will pay illegal aliens a stipend of $1,000 to self-deport back to their home country through the CBP Home App, paid after their return home has been confirmed. DHS will also provide travel assistance to self-deportees. This program will decrease the costs of a deportation by approximately 70%. Currently the average cost to arrest, detain, and remove an illegal alien is $17,121.”

America’s Local Police Forces Already Assisting ICE

More than 100 people have been taken into custody by ICE in a joint operation with the Tennessee Highway Patrol, leaving many in Nashville’s immigrant community uncertain and worried.

“None of us have ever seen anything like this,” said Lisa Sherman Luna, executive director of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition.

The Highway Patrol made 588 stops in the joint operation with ICE, which took custody of 103 under investigation for immigration violations. The operation with ICE is a reminder of how local and state law enforcement jurisdictions are critical to the Trumpf junta’s plans for mass deportations. Last week, Florida officials touted a joint operation with ICE that resulted in 1,120 immigration arrests.

The agency is “still working on how to handle outbound vehicle lanes.”

The new face-scanning initiative may be intended to track self-deportation by undocumented persons, something the Trumpf junta is promoting. Photos will be used to verify later crossings into the US.

“Make America White Again”

Dotard Trumpf is attempting to reverse the demographic trend that will make white Americans a minority in the country. To that end he has been conducting mass deportations, removing books from federal or military libraries that promote diversity, and firing competent people of color in government. To that end, his latest victim of thousands is Carla Hayden, the longtime head of the Library of Congress, in a move that Democratic lawmakers panned as “callous” and “ignorant.”

Carla Hayden had one year left in her ten-year appointment, but Trumpf cruelly took that away from her.

First Afrikaner Refugees Coming to US Next Week

Afrikaners outside one of the US missions in South Africa.

To further his goal of making America white again, Trumpf is bringing the first group of white South Africans it has classified as refugees to the US early next week. Trumpf cruelly halted virtually all other refugee admissions shortly after he took office in January, but the junta hastily put together a program to admit Afrikaners, who he claims have been the victims of racial persecution in their home country. The junta plans to send government officials to Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia for a gala event to celebrate the arrival of white people to America.

Trumpf Junta Good at Fascism, Terrible at Everything Else

Trumpf Fires FEMA Chief as Hurricane Season Nears

With three weeks before hurricane season begins, Trump fired the acting head of FEMA, Cameron Hamilton. His sin was contradicting Trump when he said: “I do not believe it is in the best interest of the American people to eliminate FEMA.” Hamilton was deployed four times overseas as a USN SEAL before he worked for the State Department and DHS. Trump’s budget proposes a $644 million cut to FEMA. Trump was sharply critical of FEMA’s response to Hurricane Helene, a devastating storm that killed 250 people and inflicted $78.7 billion in damage from Florida to North Carolina.

One of the biggest factors for tropical development in 2025 is the abundance of warm water available to fuel storms. Water temperatures across the ocean, as well as in the Gulf and Caribbean, are already well above historical averages, and they will continue to run warm throughout most of the year, as you could see from the satellite imagery above. This will prime storms for explosive development.

Firing the head of FEMA and slashing its budget will hurt hurricane and flood-prone areas, affecting Red States more than the Blue States. As you could see below, historic amounts of rainfall in April has caused flooding in the Tennessee, Ohio, and middle Mississippi valleys. Runoff from that rain is just now surging through the lowest portion of the Mississippi River and will lead to moderate to high flood levels in some areas, including Baton Rouge, LA.

Trumpf Has Skipped All But Twelve Daily Intelligence Briefings

So Why Does Trumpf Want Boxes and Boxes of Classified Documents?

After losing the 2020 election, Dotard Trumpf hoarded thousands of boxes of classified White House documents and stored them improperly at his palatial estate in Mar-a-Lago, FL, which lead to a special counsel investigation. Because of corrupt Republican judges like Aileen Cannon, Special Counsel Jack Smith was unable to convict Trumpf of this breach. The classified documents were returned to the White House or to secure archives during the Biden Administration.

Boxes are loaded onto Air Force One before Dotard Trumpf’s departure at Joint Base Andrews, MD, on Friday, 28 Feb 2025. (Photo:
Luis M. Alvarez / AP)

After Dotard Trumpf re-won the White House on 5 Nov 2024, he ordered his staff to re-take those boxes of classified documents (and possibly other items) back to his Mar-a-Lago compound, which does not have enough GSA-approved safes for all of those secret documents– re-perpetrating his Original Sin.

So, if Trumpf doesn’t enjoy receiving these invaluable PDBs, why is he illegally storing them and other secrets unsafely in Florida, and where does he get his information from?

Incompetent Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard

Hare Krishna offshoot cult member DNI Tulsi Gabbard issued a collection emphasis message to intelligence agency heads to learn more about Greenland’s independence movement and attitudes on American resource extraction on the island. Astonishingly, the most under-qualified person to ever lead the ODNI used the same easily cracked password for different online accounts over a period of several years. 

Directing intelligence collection on Greenland is a monumental waste of time and resources for the USIC, but reflects Trumpf’s idiotic ambitions to absorb the landmass one day. Tulsi Gabbard’s simpleton password use means that her personal communications may have been compromised by nefarious actors or volunteers from Anonymous. She has already fired 100 or so USIC analysts for alleged inappropriate use of secure chat rooms when a reprimand would have sufficed. This rank amateur and member of the ‘Science of Identity Foundation’ (SIF), a notoriously homophobic and Islamophobic cult, has absolutely no business whatsoever leading the USIC.

National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya sent shockwaves through the autism community by announcing the creation of a “disease registry” to track autistic people. Nazi Germany used such a list to identify possibly hundreds of autistic children to be killed in experimental “euthanasia” clinics. Until the 1970s, numerous US states used registries to identify disabled people to be subjected to forced sterilization and institutionalization. A number of states still maintain lists of autists. “The history there is deeply, deeply disturbed,” says Larkin Taylor-Parker, legal director of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. “It doesn’t usually end well for us. It has ended in murder, industrial-scale incarceration and murder.”

White NYS Town Official Shoots Door Dash Deliveryman

The Economics of John J. Reilly III’s Folly

The median value of a home in Chester, NY is $399,000, the median household income is $147,000, and the average annual salary for a Highway Superintendent in New York State is $129,718. In essence, John J. Reilly III was living, pardon the pun, the Life of Riley in his 64% white majority hamlet of 12,588 people while enjoying his well-paying sinecure. But that wasn’t enough for John J. Reilly III, so he also sold firearms using his FFL. But Mr. Reilly is being investigated by the ATF after he shot the poor guy in the back with an illegal weapon.

BLUF: This imbecile had it real good until he tripped over his own hatred and racism. Now the ATF is dismantling John J. Reilly III’s firearm trafficking business, he will lose his $129,718 per annum sinecure, and he will be facing state and federal charges. This dope threw away his life away “protecting his property.”

In an average year, 870 people die and 2,607 are wounded by guns in New York. Throughout the US, every eleven minutes someone is murdered with a firearm. This deliveryman is lucky to be alive after being shot in the back by this lunatic.

Tesla driver Nathaniel Radimak (38), who was charged with attacking motorists’ vehicles with a pipe in the Los Angeles area, has been arrested again for allegedly assaulting two women during a road rage incident in Honolulu. The recent arrest comes less than a year after this lunatic was released from prison for the California road attacks. A woman, 18, was parking her vehicle downtown when she saw a gray Tesla speeding past. The woman and Radimak “exchanged words” before he got out of the Tesla and assaulted the woman and her mother. Radimak then fled in his gray 2022 Tesla with Oregon license plates and was located in Waikiki. Charges are pending. 

Nathaniel Radimak was originally sentenced to a five-year prison term, but was released on parole after serving less than one year, as confirmed by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). The CDCR states his early release was “after serving his full sentence as defined by law.”

Harper Magazine’s Weekly Review 6 May 2025

US Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that border agents stopped more than 22 million fentanyl-laced pills from crossing into the US, effectively saving 258 million lives or around three quarters of the population; and the Trumpf junta’s preliminary budget proposed to cut a program that would expand access to the overdose antidote naloxone. Mike Waltz was fired as the national security advisor and replaced by Marco Rubio, who is now the interim national security advisor, the secretary of state, the acting administrator of USAID, and the acting archivist for the National Archives and Records Administration. “Too much,” said a Virginia senator of Rubio’s roles. It was reported that the US economy contracted by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, which marks the country’s first economic downturn in three years. “The bad parts,” said Dotard Trumpf, “are the Biden economy.” General Motors announced that it was due to lose between $4 billion and $5 billion in annual revenue; American Airlines announced a $473 million net loss for the first quarter of 2025; the US Navy lost a Super Hornet fighter jet, which costs more than $60 million, after it fell overboard from the USS Harry S Truman into the Red Sea; and millions of dimes rolled onto a highway in Wise County, Texas, after the truck transporting them tipped over. Junta supremo Trumpf said that he does not “rule out” using military force to take control of Greenland; the Department of Justice sued Hawaii and Michigan over their plans to sue fossil fuel companies for their contributions to the climate crisis; the White House issued an executive order demanding that the board of directors for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, three of whose members the president sought to fire in a separate executive order, “cease federal funding for NPR and PBS”; a report on press freedom ranked the US 57th on its freedom index, on par with Gambia and Uruguay; and Sovereignty edged out Journalism to win the Kentucky Derby.

Some twenty armed federal agents busted into an Oklahoma City home and seized the laptops, phones, and life savings of the family living there, even though their names did not match those of the suspects listed on the officers’ search warrant; and ICE agents raided the house of an Irvine, California, couple whose son has been accused of doxxing agents, but had moved to New York months ago. A group of Jewish men in New York chased, kicked, and threw a traffic cone at a woman they mistakenly assumed was a protester agitating against the arrival of Israel’s national security minister. A man was arrested in an Israeli airport for his connection to a 2022 cryptocurrency hack that nearly destroyed a California blockchain company; kidnappers in Paris chopped off the finger of a Frenchman and demanded that his son, a cryptocurrency millionaire, pay ransom four months after a co-founder of a crypto firm was abducted and had his own finger cut off in central France; and it was reported that a Japanese woman cut off her boyfriend’s ring finger with an axe after having allegedly snipped off his nipple with a pair of scissors three weeks prior. “I heard,” said the boyfriend, “that nipples regenerate.”

A California railroad executive was found guilty of embezzling funds to build a secret apartment in the Burlingame train station, and a London man traveling by train to court to face thirty-six counts of train fare evasion was stopped by transit authorities for traveling without a ticket. A British man received an eight-month suspended sentence for setting fire to his own house twice in one night; a man who had been rescued from Mount Fuji after suffering from altitude sickness was rescued a second time after returning to the mountain in search of his phone; and a man who allegedly killed another man on a basketball court in Louisiana returned to the scene of the crime wearing nothing but a towel. A man in Pennsylvania broke into a Mormon church while in the nude, and a naked man was arrested trying to break into a home in Flagler County, Florida. “Attempting to break into a home without your britches,” said the sheriff, “is not an encounter you want to have with law enforcement.” It was reported that the president of the Art Institute of Chicago stripped on a flight to Europe, a strip club in Detroit was shuttered after a cellphone video of twenty kids partying inside was discovered by one of their mothers, Google announced plans to introduce an AI chatbot for children, and the US president posted an AI-generated blasphemous photo of himself as the pope. “I’m fine,” said US VPOTUS JD Vance, “with people telling jokes.” —Megan Evershed

Chimpanzee Asks For Help Drinking Water, Then Washes Man’s Hands

The Nightmare That Is Now America

Followers of the Watch, there is much to cover and time is a precious resource. BLUF: The US police state under Donald Trumpf is a nightmare and national security is in utter disarray thanks to rank amateurs, buffoons, an alcoholic, and pro-Kremlin acolytes.

CIA Update

Senior CIA officer Ralph Goff (undated photo).

CIA has withdrawn Ralph Goff, an agency veteran and vocal supporter of Ukraine, from consideration to serve as its chief of clandestine operations. Goff had been appointed and given a start date for later this month before he was pulled from consideration. The CIA’s DDO is responsible for overseeing the agency’s covert activity and the gathering of HUMINT, one of the most challenging and vital aspects of the agency’s work. The role is commonly seen as one of the most powerful jobs in the agency. No immediate explanation was given as to why Goff had been withdrawn from consideration for this important position. Goff’s career at CIA spanned 35 years, and included significant stretches in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Europe. CIA declined to comment on this story.

MI6, CSIS, ASIO, and other NATO intelligence agencies have paid strict to this significant victory for Vladimir Putin.

Felon Musk Visits CIA HQ, Nose Pins Handed Out

The worst person in the world recently visited CIA HQ for talks on government efficiency. This is the first time Musk has visited the CIA since the establishment of DOGE.

Unlike other government departments, DOGE isn’t going to get unlimited access to CIA databases or internal systems because most of it is top secret, a source familiar with the issue said. CIA has an internal DOGE team that was formed after Trump’s executive order. The team that includes CIA career officials has been working for several weeks.

CIA officials didn’t give Musk an intelligence briefing, but discussed with him “how the CIA is unique” in comparison to other government agencies. Musk visited NSA HQ a few weeks ago, and they too must have placed clothespins over their noses.

Does anyone on the planet think that UK PM Keir Starmer, Canada PM Mark Carney, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, or Chinese Premiere Xi Jinping would allow Felon Musk into their main intelligence agency headquarters?

OPSEC (Operational Security) Non-Existent with US National Security Adviser

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz (undated photo from the public domain)

National security adviser Mike Waltz’s team regularly set up chats on Signal to coordinate official work on issues including Ukraine, China, Gaza, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, according to four people who have been personally added to Signal chats.

Two of the people said they were in or have direct knowledge of at least 20 such chats. All four said they saw instances of sensitive information being discussed.

It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trumpf administration’s national security team relies on Signal, a publicly available messaging app, to conduct its work. D/CIA Ratcliffe and D/DNI Tulsi Gabbard were already grilled by the US Senate over the previous court-martial offense of using a commercial phone app while discussing national security information about bombing the Houthis. The Israeli Mossad were livid because the group chat on Signal discussed one of their HUMINT sources in Yemen.

Now we learn that Mike Waltz and other senior officials also use their personal Gmail accounts for government business. The administration’s handling of sensitive information is already under severe scrutiny, and Gmail is even less secure than Signal.

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is a successor to the man below, which is absolutely breath-taking.

USSECDEF Pete Hellsbreath Plagiarizes Heritage Foundation

The hits just keep coming with this All-Star line-up selected by Dotard Trumpf. USSECDEF Pete Hellsbreath issued a secret memo outlining US military priorities which comes straight from the conservative Heritage Foundation, including some passages that are nearly word-for-word duplications of text published by the think tank in 2024. The memo outlines Trumpf’s vision to prepare for and win a potential war against Beijing and defend the US from threats in the “near abroad,” which may include Greenland and/or the Panama Canal. Iran is mentioned several times as a powerful adversary.

Besides spilling classified information on Signal to an uncleared journalist which the US military pilots said potentially endangered their mission bombing starving Houthis on Israel’s behalf, Hellsbreath committed other blasphemies. He brought his wife into official meetings and like a good nepotist, gave his brother a cushy job in the Pentagon. Lacking any imagination, Hellsbreath, who was removing all traces of minorities and females from DOD websites, stole the blueprints for America’s national security from a conservative think-tank itching to get America involved in another war, most likely against Iran.

Notorious Islamophobe Sebastian Gorka is a senior advisor to Trumpf and wants to destroy Iran.

A US-led war against Iran has been a dream of Israel, AIPAC, and Islamophobic Republicans for decades because Tehran stands up for the Palestinians. ICC-indicted war criminal Putin will warn his protege in the White House that attacking Iran is not in the Kremlin’s interest. Russia has invested heavily in Iran which provides them drones and other materiel. ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will just have to settle for American taxpayer-funded, US military strikes on the starving Shia Houthis for the time being.

Loyalty Tests Purge National Security Staff

Rightwing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer (11 Sep 2024 photo: Matt Rourke / AP)

Dotard Trumpf fired six national security council staffers after a fraught meeting in the Oval Office where the far-right psychopathic Laura Loomer presented opposition research against a number of staffers that she said showed they were disloyal to the US president.

The firings encompassed four staffers who were fired overnight, right after the meeting, and two who were removed over the weekend. This created the extraordinary situation where Loomer appeared to have more influence than national security adviser Mike Waltz over the NSC and undercutting Waltz in having his own aides axed.

The fired officials included Brian Walsh, the senior director for intelligence who previously worked for now USSECSTATE Marco Rubio on the Senate intelligence committee; Thomas Boodry, the senior director for legislative affairs who previously served as Waltz’s legislative director in Congress; and Maggie Dougherty, the senior director for international organizations.

This is the Islamophobic Laura Loomer that began the rumors of Haitians eating cats that Dotard Trumpf listens to:

American Police State Out of Control

Xiaofeng Wang, a prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity, has gone incommunicado. His professor profile, email account, and phone number were removed by his employer, Indiana University, after his home was raided by the FBI. No one knows why.

“The FBI conducted court authorized law enforcement activity at homes in Bloomington and Carmel Friday. We have no further comment at this time.”

Maryland Man Wrongfully Deported to Notorious El Salvador Prison

The Trumpf junta has been using the archaic Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to circumnavigate the immigration review and judicial process enshrined in the US Constitution. This “shoot first, ask questions later” approach will lead to terrible mistakes, like this appalling episode.

The Trumpf administration admitted in a court filing that an “administrative error” and an “oversight” resulted in a Salvadoran man’s deportation and imprisonment in a supermax prison in El Salvador, despite a legal order prohibiting his removal there.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was removed from the US on 15 Mar as part of a series of deportation flights that sent hundreds of alleged gang members to a notorious prison in El Salvador, even though an immigration judge had granted him a legal protection from deportation.

There is no information as to how the Trumpf junta will return Mr. Garcia to the US and what his physical condition is after being in a notorious mega-prison crammed with hardened criminals and real gang-members for two weeks.

Judge Holds ICE Agent in Contempt of Court

Boston Municipal Judge Mark Summerville is holding ICE agent Brian Sullivan in contempt after he detained a suspect while the man was on trial. The agent detained Wilson Martell-Lebron last week as he was leaving court. Judge Summerville issued a ruling against Sullivan, arguing that he had deprived Martell-Lebron of his rights to due process and a fair trial by taking him into custody.

“It’s a case of violating a defendant’s right to present at trial and confront witnesses against him,” Judge Mark Summerville said from the bench. “It couldn’t be more serious.”

Summerville dismissed the charge against Martell-Lebron of making false statements on his driver’s license application — namely that he wasn’t Martell-Lebron. After that, Summerville filed the contempt charge against Sullivan, which could lead Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden to review the case and determine if any charges should be filed.

American Policing at Local Levels Needs Complete Overhaul

As if living under the Trumpf junta wasn’t terrible enough, the legacy of hiring underqualified or racist police officers at the local level in America continues, as you have read here on Coriolanus. Here are more examples of serious dysfunction.

NJ State Trooper Arrested for Alleged Dog Killing, Vandalism, Assault

A New Jersey state trooper faces multiple charges after allegedly shooting and killing his dog, fleeing his home, vandalizing a stop sign, and assaulting a local police officer.

Authorities arrested Alexander Lark in Wayne Township. He is charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, criminal mischief, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. He also faces a municipal violation for discharging a firearm. Animal cruelty charges are pending. An affidavit of probable cause states that Lark appeared to be under the influence of an unidentified substance.

Four Texas Deputies Commit Suicide in Six Weeks

From left to right: Long Nguyen, Christina Kohler, Maria Vasquez, William Bozeman (Harris County Sheriff’s Office)

The Harris County sheriff’s office in Texas is mourning the loss of four current and former deputies who died by suicide in just six weeks. There is insufficient information to correlate anything connecting the four at this time and Coriolanus will not speculate as to what drove these deputies to kill themselves, but clearly something is amiss in Harris County and in American policing in general.

Harris County, Texas.

American policing requires a complete overhaul, but this will never happen. The US has thousands of counties and local municipalities within 50 states, each with their own standards, budgets, and hiring practices. So, Americans have to suffer not only with professional jackbooted police officers at the federal level, but with a melange of unfit police officers at the local levels.

USAG Pam Bondi Seeks Death Penalty for Luigi Mangione

US Attorney General Pamela Bondi released the following statement:

“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America. After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again.”

Make America safe for the oligarchs again is what Lady Dracula means.

Blonde-haired sycophant to Trumpf USAG Pam Bondi refused to investigate Trumpf University when she was Florida’s Attorney-General and is now using federal resources to investigate Tesla vandals.

The late oligarch Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthCare (UHC) amassed himself a tidy fortune by denying healthcare to premium-paying patients using cost-benefit analysis of who gets to live and who gets to die. The strategy used was “Delay, Deny, and Defend” to fight payouts to people who paid thousands of dollars in premiums to the AARP Medicare Advantage program he operated, one of the worst health insurers in the world. UHC’s aggressive and appealing marketing campaigns bring them thousands of unknowing elderly customers every year who go on to receive the worst medical outcomes. Coriolanus knew a suffering victim of Brian Thompson– a man who put profits over people– and so the oligarch paid the ultimate price for his greed.

An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Australia Shuts Down Six Confucius Institutes

Six Australian universities have quietly closed Chinese government-linked Confucius Institutes (CI) on their campuses, leaving seven open nationwide. Canberra has ramped up scrutiny on the education centers over concerns that Beijing is using them to spread propaganda and spy on Chinese international students. Beijing says its Confucius Institutes, which offer Chinese language and cultural classes overseas, are a “bridge reinforcing friendship” with the world. Western intelligence agencies have been concerned about Beijing’s global reach through these education centers. Some universities in America and Europe also closed some of their branches.

AI estimates there are approximately 30 Confucius Institutes operating in the US, down from a peak of around 1,201. In Canada, there are 13 Confucius Institutes operating. Beijing also operates secret police stations to spy on Chinese citizens in the US.

Toxic Algae Off Southern California Kills Hundreds of Sea Lions, Dolphins, Birds

An early toxic algae bloom off the coast of Southern California is killing or sickening hundreds of sea lions, dolphins and seabirds, while forcing rescuers to make tough choices about “which animals to save.”

Studies reveal global algae blooms are growing, and warming waters may be to blame. Swirling blooms of turquoise phytoplankton along coasts may be happening more often and getting bigger, according to new research published in Nature, raising concerns about the impacts of climate change on the world’s oceans. 

Phytoplankton are microscopic algae, and a “bloom” is a sudden explosion of them, sometimes covering hundreds of square kilometers of ocean. The study found that over that period, the global median frequency of algal blooms increased by 59%, and the total area affected by the blooms expanded by nearly four million square kms — close to half the size of Canada.

This spectacular view of intensifying phytoplankton blooms was captured by NASA’s Aqua satellite and then shaded by researchers to illustrate the data captured. (Illustration: Lian Feng)

Some oceanographers claim that we may be the last generation to enjoy genuine seafood because of the algae, pollution, chemicals, and plastics that have poisoned the world’s oceans.

23andMe DNA Data Up for Grabs After Going Bankrupt

Customers of 23andMe are rightly concerned about what could happen to their DNA profiles now that the ancestry-research company has filed for bankruptcy. “It looks like it’s up for grabs,” he said of the genetic information. “And there doesn’t really seem to be any parameters regarding its use.”

After a customer provides a saliva sample, DNA-testing companies like 23andMe provide a profile of a person’s genetic heritage. Police used forensic genetic genealogy to solve crimes. 23andMe had a data breach in 2023 and paid out $30 million to settle a class-action lawsuit. Under bankruptcy, the company’s DNA database of more than 15 million customers could potentially be sold as an asset.

As you are aware, oligarch Larry Ellison wants to put all America’s data, including DNA, in one large Oracle system for AI to study (17 Feb 2025).

Two Mass Murderers Believe They Were Fulfilling Trumpf’s Wishes

Mass murderer Patrick Crusius.

MAGA terrorist and white supremacist Patrick Crusius believed he was acting at the direction of President Donald Trumpf when he murdered 23 people and wounded 22 others at an El Paso Walmart on 3 Aug 2019, his defense lawyer told El Paso Matters. Crusius was sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences in July 2023. Crusius admitted that he killed and wounded people at the Walmart because of the actual and perceived national origin of the people he expected to be at the Walmart. He further admitted that he intended to kill everyone he shot.

Crusius wrote a manifesto titled “An Inconvenient Truth” and uploaded it to the internet minutes before he commenced his attack. In it, he characterized himself as a white nationalist, motivated to kill Hispanics because they were immigrating to the US. The maniac admitted to selecting El Paso, a border city, as his target to dissuade Mexican and other Hispanic immigrants from coming to the US.

“He thought he had to stop the invasion because that’s what his president was telling him, which is just not rational,” defense attorney Joe Spencer said in his first extended interview about the mass shooting that Crusius said was meant to stop “the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

“He thought, if he doesn’t do it, then nobody’s going to do it. He’s got to start,” Spencer said.

The White House did not respond to multiple requests for comment from El Paso Matters. On 5 Aug 2019, two days after the El Paso shooting, Trumpf condemned the attack and the motives behind it: “The shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America.” [Hah!]

Trumpf visited El Paso on 7 Aug, ignoring pleas from much of El Paso’s elected leadership that he stay away because they felt his rhetoric may have played a role in the shooting. Trumpf’s vile hate-mongering may be responsible for another heinous mass murder, the slaughter at the Miami high school in 2018.

Mass murderer Nikolas Cruz. He offered to donate his brain to science.

Parkland Miami mass murderer Nikolas Cruz has mastered the talking points of Donald Trumpf. Before Cruz used an AR-15 assault rifle to kill 17 people, including 13 students, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, he idolized Trumpf. One of his most prized possessions was a MAGA hat; the rage-filled, paranoid teen posed with it on his head for Instagram and wore it while he practiced shooting a pellet gun in his backyard. Cruz even put the red hat on his mother’s urn during her funeral.

In a in a batch of released prison letters, Cruz expounds on politics and the letters show the unhinged killer remains deeply drawn to Trumpf’s divisive and negative political messaging, which takes aim at immigrants, liberals, and the media. Cruz seems to have taken especially seriously Trump’s unfounded allegations that illegal immigrants threaten American society and are more prone than others to crime. He is sentenced to life imprisonment without the chance of parole for one of the worst high school shootings in the US.

“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”

Signs That Your Dog Was Raised By a Cat

After Hobbling NATO, Trumpf Targets NAFTA (USMCA)

After making unreasonable demands on the governments of Canada and Mexico, Trumpf enacted 25% tariffs on imports from these countries. He also included China in this imbroglio igniting an international trade war. Even though Canada PM Justin Trudeau and Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum made good faith efforts to appease the American tyrant, they should have realized Trumpf was committed to this destructive plan because that is what Russian President Vladimir Putin wants: A disruption in the Western political, economic, and military architecture. These tariffs amount to a 25% sales tax for American consumers that the US government will collect on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. Ottawa immediately responded with counter-tariffs, while Mexico City and Beijing are deliberating on their responses.

“Have fun???”

Economic analysts forecast the potential for a recession in the West, which won’t harm Russia or the global oligarchs. The economic downturn won’t hurt Trumpf either, as his immense holdings are in real estate.     

Meanwhile millions of Americans shop at the Dollar Stores— even for food items– whose prices will now increase since 95% of their goods are made in China.

This is No Way to Treat an Ally

Besides being NATO partners, the US and Canada jointly operate NORAD, defending North American airspace. Here they are intercepting Russian and Chinese bombers on 24 July 2024.

And in actual combat, Canadians suffered casualties on behalf of America’s imperial overdrive. 159 Canadian soldiers and seven civilians were KIA in Afghanistan as part of NATO (ISAF). Moreover, these warriors were sent into the teeth of the Taliban, Kandahar. And while avid golfer Donald Trumpf dodged the draft because of spurious “bone spurs,” he avoided combat in Vietnam. Meanwhile, 20,000 Canadians enlisted in the US military to fight in Vietnam where at least 134 were KIA, like this US Army Ranger below:

Mexico, attacked, defeated, and dismembered by the US (1846-48), remained a neutral country until the Second World War when they joined the Allies. The Mexican Air Force flew with the USAAF during WWII. The “Aztec Eagles” of the 201st Squadron lost several pilots fighting the Japanese alongside American aviators.

The Aztec Eagles were Mexico’s only military unit to ever engage in combat outside the country’s national borders.

In the years after World War II, no less than five of the young pilots who began their flying careers in Escuadrón 201 would reach the rank of general in the Mexican Air Force.

What a way for the US to treat its allies, friends, and trade partners. But none of this should be a surprise as this is Putin’s plan: Split the West and sow discord within the system and it’s working. Canadians are booing the US national anthem and ridding their shelves of American products throughout the provinces. They are also traveling to other destinations and selling their winter homes in Florida.

Republican voters wanted to “take back the country,” meaning electing a white man to the White House, so they voted against their own economic interests as capitalism only works for the wealthy. The masses need social safety nets and affordable housing, food, and medical care.

Now some Republican voters are regretting voting for Trumpf and those resentments will increase and harden as the effects of the uncalled trade wars cause hardship for Americans. Prices will go up along with a reduced demand for US products, potentially causing layoffs. The value of 401K investments will decrease along with Wall Street. While Trumpf was announcing his tariffs on TV, the chiron showed the S & P 500 plummet in value.

Nero Plays Lyre While the Carolinas Burn

NORTHCOM informs:

“Approximately 2,400 Soldiers from elements of the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT), 4th Infantry Division, from Fort Carson, CO will soon deploy to enhance DHS and ICE efforts to maintain security at the southern border. Tasks carried out by 2nd SBCT will include detection and monitoring; administrative support; transportation support; warehousing and logistic support; vehicle maintenance; and engineering support. Personnel will not conduct or be involved in interdiction or deportation operations. The 2nd SBCT provides unique military capabilities to protect and maintain the sovereignty and territorial integrity and security of the southern border, a top priority of the DOD.”

Strykers are built for the US Army in Ontario, Canada. I wonder if Trumpf knows that? (Photo: US Army)

Meanwhile, North and South Carolina are combatting wildfires like the ones that devastated southern California earlier this year. So, what does America’s Godzilla do? Rather than sending these Soldiers to help in disaster assistance, he is deploying them to the already over-militarized Mexican border to stop the flow of “illegal migrants” and drugs. The Carolinas are Red States that voted for Nero is who is busy playing the lyre.

Through Elon Musk’s notorious DOGE, America’s Godzilla has fired federal employees from NOAA, NPS, the USFS, and FEMA (as well as other agencies), all people that could prevent, mitigate, or repair damages to America’s infrastructure.

American Warzone: Two Suspects in Georgia Beauty Queen Murder Arrested

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has charged Tsion Clayton (23) and Kimone Green (21) both of Lowndes County, GA with one count of Malice Murder in connection to the death of Brianna Long on 29 Oct 2023. Brianna was hit by a stray bullet as she worked as a bartender at The Pier Bar near Valdosta State University (VSU), where she was a student. A co-worker at the bar was also hit by a bullet and later recovered from his injuries. In an average year, 1,543 die by firearms violence in Georgia. In 2022, 48,000 Americans lost their lives to gun violence. These are wartime casualty figures without a foreign invader that Americans seem to tolerate.

California Food Safety: Botulism Risk Prompts Vegetable Recall

The FDA informs:

“AKT Trading Inc. of Torrance, California, is recalling certain prepared vegetable products manufactured by Choshiya Honten Co., Ltd. due to a potential risk of Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium which can cause life-threatening illness or death.  The products lack the necessary “Keep Refrigerated” statement, which could lead to hazardous bacterial growth if stored at room temperature. Consumers are warned not to use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled.

Botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, can cause the following symptoms: general weakness, dizziness, double-vision and trouble with speaking or swallowing.

US Aviation Update

When flying was fun…

Multiple Flights Landing in DC Receive False Midair Collision Warnings

The FAA launched an investigation into multiple mid-air collision warnings heard by more than a dozen flights on the approach to Ronald Reagan National Airport this past weekend. The planes reportedly heard the warnings despite there being no other air traffic in the immediate vicinity.

Several flight crews on aircraft due to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport, which is near Washington DC, heard warnings on their alerts on their Traffic Collision Avoidance System. The messages told crews that another aircraft “was nearby when no other aircraft were in the area. “

The mid-air collision warnings come just weeks after a deadly crash between a helicopter and a commercial jet in the skies above Washington DC. The aerial crash between American Eagle flight 5342 and a US Army Blackhawk helicopter occurred just a few miles from Ronald Reagan National Airport and killed 67 people. Trumpf had idiotically compared this aviation tragedy to a round of golf.

As Ian Fleming once wrote: “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.” This could be the work of disgruntled or fired FAA personnel, or other malicious actors angry with the Trumpf administration and Felon Musk for firing people. Years ago there was a spate of high-powered green laser attacks at landing aircraft in the US and Canada, temporarily blinding the crew. If another aviation tragedy occurs because of these false warning signals, causing confusion for the pilots, innocent passengers and crew will be killed in an effort to discredit Trumpf and Felon Musk. These two miscreants are already discredited and need no help from the outside.

Miami Couple Accused of Throwing Coffee at Airport Staff

Rafael Seirafe-Novaes (40) and Beatriz Rapoport De Campos Maia (29) were arrested for assault at Miami Intl Airport. The couple were denied boarding when they arrived late for their American Airlines flight to Cancun and attempted to force their way onto the flight. Both suspects ignored no trespassing signs and verbal commands from a ticket agent before busting through staff onto the restricted jet bridge. The two allegedly pushed and threw coffee at the staff and were charged with battery and trespassing.

Besides potential incarceration, the two possibly face a lifetime ban from flying American Airlines. Rowdiness and attacks on aircrew have increased over the years. Passengers must overcome traffic getting to the airports, then are pressured to get through the rigmarole of exhausting airport security screening. Then economy class passengers have the pleasure of being crammed together like olives in a jar on some flights. This is why some airports utilize stress-relief pets to avoid circumstances like this. But in the case of rushed Rafael Seirafe-Novaes and Beatriz Rapoport De Campos Maia, probably nothing could have defused them.

Delta Air Lines Flight to New Orleans Returns to Boston After ‘Smoky Odor’ Detected in Cabin

A Delta Air Lines flight to New Orleans Sunday morning was forced to return to Boston after a “smoky odor” was detected in the aircraft’s cabin.

Shortly after takeoff, Delta Flight 1398 to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport declared an emergency for priority handling from air traffic control.

“Our flight crew followed established procedures and returned to Boston safely,” a Delta spokesperson said in a statement. “We sincerely apologize to our customers for the delay in their travels.”

The Airbus A220 aircraft carrying 87 passengers, three flight attendants and two pilots made it back to the gate at Boston Logan International Airport safely, and the plane was met with emergency response personnel on the ground, per protocol.

There is no further information yet on the cause of the smoky odor in the cabin. Hazarding a guess, this could have either been overheated internal wires in the console or overheated powerful lithium-ion batteries. The most common lithium-ion-powered devices on planes are phones, laptops, wireless headphones and tablets. About 35% of reported overheating incidents involved e-cigarettes, and 16% involved power banks. Battery overheating incidents rose 28% from 2019 to 2023, although such events remain relatively rare, according to UL Standards & Engagement.

Russia Asks US to Reopen Airspace and Resume Direct Flights Despite Sanctions

Russia has asked US representatives to consider reopening US airspace to Russian aircraft and resume direct flights between the two countries.

In a statement issued on 28 Feb 2025, the ministry said the official proposal was made during discussions between Russian and US authorities in Istanbul, Turkiye, on 27 Feb 2025. 

The statement discussed “the normalization of the functioning of the diplomatic missions of both countries as a follow-up to recent bilateral contacts at the top and high levels.” 

In accordance with the instructions of the foreign ministers, the two leaders discussed ways to overcome the numerous “irritants” inherited from previous US administrations, the Russian statement noted. The Russian Foreign Ministry added that the US was asked to consider the possibility of restoring direct flights to and from Russia.  

According to a statement from the US after the Istanbul meeting, the US and Russia had “constructive discussions,” but did not specifically mention Russia requesting that direct flights between the two countries be restored. 

Meanwhile, Europe is tightening the screws on Moscow. On 24 Feb 2025, the European Commission announced renewed sanctions against Moscow, including an extension of the flight ban on airlines from other countries flying to Europe if they operate domestic flights within Russia.  The latest package extends the flight ban to third-country airlines that conduct domestic flights within Russia or supply aviation goods to Russian airlines. The ban impacts transactions with two airports in Moscow, Vnukovo Airport (VKO) and Zhukovsky Airport (ZIA), as well as four regional airports. 

Putin’s protege, Trumpf, has already ordered USCYBERCOMMAND to stop offensive operations against the Kremlin and the Justice Department is no longer investigating election interference or Russian oligarchs. With a public distraction turning the world’s eyes to the left, on the right Trumpf will ease the flight sanctions on Russia.

An international arrest warrant from the ICC remains active against Vladimir Putin for alleged war crimes.

All indictments are merely allegations. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

EUROPOL: Criminal Ringleader and Nine Associates Arrested After Killing Witness

Slovenian special police officer in action.

A Bosnian criminal leader ran his operations from prison and after he was released, hid in Slovenia. In late Nov 2024, the undercover ringleader allegedly organised and coordinated the professional assassination of a witness in a case.

Taking a multi-stage approach, police forces methodically moved against the criminals. In three separate action days, ten people were arrested, including the organisation’s leader, and significant amounts of weapons, explosives, and drugs were seized.

The high-value target was taken into custody during the operation’s first action day in December 2024. His criminal network was hierarchically organized, with each member fulfilling roles such as logistician, counter-surveillance specialist, assassin, as well as weapons, explosives and drug trafficker. Investigations are ongoing.

Amongst the items seized: An automatic rifle, several handguns (some with removed serial numbers), silencers, and over 200 Rounds of ammunition; several remote controls and electric detonators for explosive charges; 10 Kg of Heroin, 3.5 Kg of Cocaine, 18 Kg of Morphine; a large number of electronic devices, mobile phones, SIM Cards, forged and counterfeit documents.

The Balkans remains atop the Global Organized Crime Index for Europe. Gangs compete with each other trafficking people, drugs, weapons, counterfeit currency, and stolen items. Unfortunately, bystanders and innocent people get hurt or killed by these international gangsters where religion or ethnicity can take a second place to profits.

Nationwide, the total number of deaths from the disease has reached eight, while the number of cases has exceeded 2,860, according to the latest official statistics.

Morocco is among the countries with high rates of Bouhamroun cases, along with other countries such as Romania. Measles is also spreading in Texas, thanks to anti-vaxxers, and Mexico issued a warning to its citizens to avoid traveling to the Lone Star State.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), immunization coverage in Morocco among one-year-olds improved between 1990 and 2013: Measles from 79.0% to 99.0% and polio type 3 from 81.0% to 99.0%.
