US-Russia Alaska Summit Perfect Kabuki Theater

The recent Alaska Summit between the oligarchic leaders of the US and Russia went perfectly well for Vladimir Putin and terrible for Donald Trump (AKA Dummkopf Trumpf). This summit lasted three hours and no peace deal was made. This meeting was just an excuse to let the former KGB officer finally give his instructions directly to Trumpf in person. For Vladimir Putin, he flagrantly flaunted the ICC international arrest warrant against him by traveling to the US and his team presented their demands from the Trumpf junta to lift economic sanctions against Russia. Putin came home victorious from this tete-a-tete.

The entire year of Trumpf sending special envoys to Moscow was all kabuki theater to buy time for Russia in its brutal campaign against Ukraine. And for Trumpf, the summit was a disaster because it exposed other issues that Followers of the Watch were already aware of, namely that Trumpf is a Kremlin asset.

Dummkopf Trumpf Too Unhealthy and Feeble for US Presidency

The US President (79) was unable to walk a straight line along the red carpet, while his counterpart strode confidently towards his asset. When they shook hands, Trumpf immediately placed his hand below Putin’s, a clear sign of submission to a superior.

Dotard Trumpf Without Makeup and Hairpiece

Dummkopf Trumpf is terrified that he may suffer from dementia that afflicted his father before he died.

Trumpf’s inability to walk a straight line may be a sign of ataxia and his forward-leaning posture and body tics are serious signs of poor health. The geriatric oligarch is also suffering from chronic venous insufficiency which causes his ankles to swell up.

Yet somehow, this decrepit dotard amazingly won his sixth senior golf championship of the season a few weeks ago,

Poor OPSEC Continues Under Amateur Trumpf Junta

Papers with US State Department markings, found Friday morning in the business center of an Alaskan hotel, revealed previously undisclosed and potentially sensitive details about the 15 Aug meetings between Dummkopf Trumpf and ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir V. Putin in Anchorage.

Eight pages, that appear to have been produced by US staff and left behind accidentally, shared precise locations and meeting times of the summit and phone numbers of US government employees.

At around 9 a.m. on Friday, three guests at Hotel Captain Cook, a four-star hotel located 20 minutes from the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage where leaders from the U.S. and Russia convened, found the documents left behind in one of the hotel’s public printers.

Jon Michaels, a professor of law at UCLA who lectures about national security, said that the documents found in the printer of the Alaskan hotel reveal a lapse in professional judgment in preparation for a high-stakes meeting.

“It strikes me as further evidence of the sloppiness and the incompetence of the administration,” said Michaels. “You just don’t leave things in printers. It’s that simple.”

The printed papers are the latest example of a series of security breaches by officials of the Trump administration. Earlier this week, members of a law enforcement group chat that included members of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) added a random person to a conversation about an ongoing search for a convicted attempted murderer. In March, US national security leaders accidentally included a journalist in a group chat about impending military strikes in Yemen.

Israeli Chief of Cyber Security Arrested for Soliciting Sex with Child Released by Las Vegas Police

Alleged pedophile Tom Alexandrovich (Undated photo from social media)

A top cybersecurity official for the Israeli government was arrested in Nevada during an undercover operation targeting child sex predators. Tom Alexandrovich (38) was apprehended and faced felony charges of “Luring a Child with Computer for Sex Act.” Tom Alexandrovich is the Executive Director of the Israel Cyber Directorate, a government agency that operates under the office of PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Alexandrovich was in Las Vegas to attend this year’s “Black Hat Briefings,” an annual gathering of cybersecurity professionals. The pedophile posted a photo of himself at the conference on LinkedIn before the account was deleted. Netanyahu’s office issued a statement and denied that the employee in question was arrested at all: “A state employee who traveled to the US for professional matters was questioned by American authorities during his stay. The employee, who does not hold a diplomatic visa, was not arrested and returned to Israel as scheduled.”

US State Department Halts Humanitarian Visas for Palestinian Children from Gaza Crippled and Maimed by Israeli Forces

One day after notorious Islamophobe Laura Loomer posted videos on social media of children from Gaza arriving in the US for medical treatment and questioning how they got visas, the State Department said it was halting all visitor visas for people from Gaza pending a review. The vastly underqualified USSECSTATE Marco Rubio, a vapid empty suit, said the action came after “outreach from multiple congressional offices asking questions about it.” Loomer called the medical treatment of crippled and maimed children from Gaza a “national security threat.” She asked who signed off on the visas and demanded the person be fired. Loomer tagged Rubio, Dummkopf Trumpf, JD Vance, GOP Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, and Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Assistant US Attorney in Washington DC Arrested for Throwing Subway Sandwich at Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer

On 10 Aug at 2306 hours on a Washington DC street in the NW, Department of Justice trial attorney Sean Charles Dunn allegedly pointed his finger at a CBP agent on duty and began shouting at him: “F*** you! You f***ing fascists! Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” The defendant then threw his Subway sandwich at the CBP agent which struck him on the chest. The trial attorney attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended. While being processed, Dunn confessed: “I did it. I threw a sandwich.” Dunn was charged with violation of 18 U.S.C. 111(a)(1) (Assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and employees of the US) and was then immediately fired by USAG Pam Bondi.

There is no information about the injuries sustained by the tactically armored, heavily-armed CBP agent after the Subway sandwich hit his Kevlar chest protector. There is also no information as to what kind of sandwich the defendant was enjoying before hurling it at the praetorian. 18 U.S.C. 111(a)(1) was the same statute applied to many of the dangerous white supremacist seditionists who stormed the US Capitol on 6 Jan 2021. 

Source: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/71101293/1/1/united-states-v-dunn/

A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. Mr. Dunn is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. And in that court of law, Mr. Dunn will be immediately recognized by many of the court personnel, including the presiding judge.

“Your Honor, look at the dangerous weapon the defendant hurled at the CBP officer!”

This farcical prosecution in Washington DC is similar to this incident earlier this year.

Emily Gabriella Sommer (32) was arrested in connection with an 8 May incident during which she allegedly spit on former US Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr. Sommer is charged with one count of assaulting, resisting, or impeding a government official. On 8 May then-Interim US Attorney Martin was conducting an on-camera interview on the street in front of his office. During the interview Sommer approached Martin and stated words to the effect of, “Who in the f– are you?” Martin turned to face Sommer. Sommer then said, “Are you Ed Martin? You are. Ed Martin.” Sommer lunged at Martin and spit on his shoulder. Sommer then walked away and yelled, “You are a disgusting man. F— you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella Sommer, and you are served.” US Marshals located Sommer and placed her under arrest on 22 May.

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

The situation will only get worse in the US as the Trumpf junta removed the age requirements to join ICE, an organization that is now more powerful than the FBI because of its size and its power to detain individuals without an arrest warrant, something FBI agents cannot do. The US co-hosts the 2026 FIFA tournament with Canada and Mexico, as well as the 2028 Summer Olympiad in Los Angeles. Coriolanus would be thunderstruck if foreigners visited the US for these spectacles under the fascist Trump junta.

Several Associates of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell Died Under Mysterious Circumstances

Followers of the Watch, even a broke clock is correct twice a day. The National Enquirer, a conspiracy peddling tabloid that was both friend and foe of Dummkopf Trumpf, collated the names of nearly two dozen associates of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell who have died in the past six years. Take this with a grain of salt, but remember, where there is smoke, there is fire. The entire article is linked below.

FTA:

Jeffrey Epstein’s mysterious death occurred six years ago this month — but the National Enquirer has discovered 22 people in the sketchy billionaire’s orbit have also died under murky circumstances, fueling fears of a cover-up by powerful figures seeking to erase potential witnesses.

From the predator’s alleged victims to house managers, lawyers, accountants, investigative journalists, and pimps, the list of unexplained fatalities traces a dark money trail that leads straight to Epstein’s inner circle.

“There were a lot of people entrapped and entangled through Epstein’s web, and many of those people are gone now — dead,” private investigator Ed Opperman tells the Enquirer. “They are all connected through a money trail.”

Financier Steven Hoffenberg allegedly confessed in a final account before his death to that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted pedophile’s now-imprisoned recruiting madam, were “taping” honey-trap videos of sleazy VIPs with underage girls for a cabal of deep-state blackmailing power brokers.

“This puts a lot of high-powered people in very dangerous situations,” says the gumshoe and podcaster, who was once approached to “dig up dirt” on an Epstein victim and Hoffenberg.

Hoffenberg, the former Towers Financial CEO and Epstein associate — who died in 2022 at 77 after serving 18 years for a $475 million Ponzi scheme — cooperated with the FBI and spoke out about his former protégé’s alleged connections to Israel’s national intelligence agency Mossad.”

The sex trafficking blackmailer is now in a less restrictive federal prison in Texas outside Austin that has a work-release program. The Mexican border is a few hour drive from this facility. Your humble author assesses one of two fates for the notorious Ghislaine Maxwell.

Dangerous Pathogens, Parasites, and Poisons Assailing America

Global warming is fostering the spread of dangerous pathogens in North America. For now they won’t overtake these three leading causes of mortality in the US.

Missouri Man Afflicted with Rare Brain-Eating Amoeba

Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (MSHSS) informs that a resident has been infected with Naegleria fowleri. Naegleria fowleri is a microscopic single-celled free-living ameba that can cause a rare life-threatening infection of the brain called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). The patient is in an ICU. The ameba is commonly found in warm freshwater such as lakes, rivers, and ponds; however, PAM is extremely rare. Since 1962, only 154 known cases have been identified in the US. The only other case identified among a Missouri resident occurred in 1987, and currently, no additional suspected cases of PAM are being investigated in Missouri. The source of the patient’s exposure is being investigated by public health officials. Local and out-of-state activity are being considered. Recreational water users should assume that Naegleria fowleri is present in warm freshwater across the US; however, infection remains rare.

Although a rare occurrence, people become infected by Naegleria fowleri when water containing the ameba enters the body through the nose from freshwater sources. The Naegleria fowleri ameba then travels up the nose to the brain where it destroys the brain tissue. This infection cannot be spread from one person to another, and it cannot be contracted by swallowing contaminated water. A 12-year-old boy in South Carolina died of PAM earlier this summer.

Earlier this year the Florida Department of Health (“D’Oh!) reported 17 cases (five deaths) of flesh-eating bacteria infections (which enters the body through open cuts or wounds, unlike the brain-eating ameba which enters through the mouth or nostrils).

To cool off during heat waves, people enjoy pools, lakes, beaches, and rivers, not knowing that there is an increase of bacteria or other pathogens thriving in the water. Good thing summer is coming to an end soon.

Wyoming: Potential Rabies Exposure from Hundreds from Bats

Health officials are working to alert hundreds of people in 38 states and seven countries who may have been exposed to rabies in bat-infested cabins in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park over the past few months. None of the bats found in some of the eight linked cabins at Jackson Lake Lodge had tested positive for rabies. The other bats weren’t killed but were shooed out through cabin doors and windows.

Health officials deemed it better safe than sorry to alert everybody that they might have been exposed by being bitten or scratched. When people are sleeping, a bat bite or scratch can go unseen and unnoticed. Bats are an inadvertent but frequent vector of the rabies virus and other pathogens. Once symptoms occur, muscle aches, vomiting, or itching, rabies is almost always fatal in humans. The cash-strapped CDC is contacting the foreign visitors.

Last year a child in Ontario, Canada died from rabies after being exposed to a bat in their bedroom. The family woke up with a bat in their bedroom, but the parents did not see signs of a bite or scratches on their child and did not get a rabies vaccine. This death was the first domestically-acquired case of human rabies in Ontario since 1967.

Bats are misunderstood creatures that are vital to our eco-system and shouldn’t be harmed. One of their natural predators is the owl.

California: Wild Pigs With ‘Neon Blue’ Insides Trigger Health Warnings

A wild pig with blue innards discovered in 2015. (GlendilTEK/imgur)

Wild pigs in the Monterey County area were exposed to pesticide bait containing the anticoagulant rodenticide diphacinone, according to findings by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Wildlife Health Lab (WHL) and the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory in Davis.

Novelist John Steinbeck hailed from Monterey County, CA.

In March, a wildlife trapper reported multiple observations of blue muscle or fat found in wild pigs. The blue tissue can be a sign of rodenticide bait ingestion. CDFW’s WHL investigated, finding the anticoagulant rodenticide diphacinone in the stomach and liver contents of one of the wild pigs that was recovered with blue tissues.

Wildlife can be inadvertently exposed to rodenticides either by eating rodenticide bait or by eating other animals that have ingested rodenticides. Rodenticide baits often contain dye to identify them as a poison. Blue-colored muscle or fat may be a sign that game meat has been contaminated by rodenticides, although this blue discoloration may not always be present. CDFW urges hunters to always use caution when harvesting game animals and be aware of potential risks.

Disfiguring Viruses Infecting Squirrels, Rabbits

Grey squirrel mottled with hairless tumors.

Grotesque squirrels covered in oozing sores have been spotted invading backyards in the US and Canada. Hairless tumors develop from their heads and eyes to their legs, feet, and genitals. First thought to be squirrel pox, the illness is more likely to be squirrel fibromatosis. Homeowners who put bird feeders in their yards may be unintentionally causing the virus to spread to more squirrels throughout North America.

A bizarre virus is turning ordinary rabbits in the US into grotesque, horned creatures with black, tentacle-like growths sprouting from their faces. The mutated rabbits have been spotted multiple times in Fort Collins, CO and are infected by the cottontail papilloma virus (CRPV). Also known as Shope papilloma virus, this pathogen causes tumors to grow on or near the animal’s head. CRPV is spread by mosquitoes.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has urged anyone who sees infected rabbits to stay away and not touch them. CPW does not believe the virus can leap to other species, such as humans or pets, but is still urging the public to avoid the rabbits and not attempt to help them.

Las Vegas: Mosquito Infestation Causing Alarm

Mosquitoes typically prefer more tropical, humid conditions, but these biting machines have exploded in number throughout the Las Vegas Valley in recent years because of a host of changes. A mix of urban development, climate change, insecticide resistance and genetic adaptations are creating a more hospitable environment for the insects in southern Nevada.

Las Vegas is hardly alone in its battle against the pesky insects. Warmer temperatures and shifting weather patterns are expanding the geographic range in which mosquitoes live and breed. In many ways, what’s happening here is playing out across the desert Southwest and beyond.

The mosquitoes have brought with them not only the nuisance of bug bites, but also the major threat of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever and West Nile virus to Las Vegas and the rest of Clark County.

The species that have taken hold in Clark County include Culex mosquitoes, which can carry West Nile virus, and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the primary spreaders of dengue. What’s more, Messenger and her colleagues at UNLV have found that mosquitoes in Las Vegas are becoming resistant to insecticides, a major public health risk in a city built on tourism.

“It is a little bit of a ticking time bomb,” Messenger said.

She has for some time been concerned about how vulnerable Las Vegas is to mosquito-borne diseases. In particular, dengue has been surging in North America and South America, with more than 13 million cases recorded across the continents in 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“In Vegas, we have more than 48 million visitors coming through our doors every year from all over the planet,” Messenger said. “It just takes a couple of mosquito bites to start local transmission.”

Last year, there were 26 reported cases of West Nile virus in humans in Las Vegas, trailing the city’s largest outbreak of 43 cases in 2019. Yet, in 2024, scientists still found a record number of mosquitoes that tested positive for the virus in and around the city, which suggests the risk of exposure was concerning.

Mosquitos are mankind’s acme predator, killing between 725,000 and 1,000,000 people a year. Dragonflies and spiders are the natural enemies of the mosquito and should be left alone. Nevertheless, between Dummkopf Trumpf’s idiotic tariffs and obnoxious behavior, international tourism has been collapsing in Las Vegas. This mosquito plague could be just another nail in the coffin for Sin City.

Texas Prepares for Massive Invasion of Screwworm Fly

A helpless victim of the screwworm fly larvae.

ArsTechnica reports:

Texas is gearing up for war as a savage, flesh-eating fly appears poised for a US invasion and is expanding its range of victims.

On Friday, the Texas Department of Agriculture announced the debut of TDA Swormlure, a synthetic bait designed to attract the flies with a scent that mimics open flesh wounds, which are critical to the lifecycle of the fly, called the New World Screwworm. The parasite exploits any open wound or orifice on a wide range of warm-blooded animals to feed its ravenous spawn. Female flies lay hundreds of eggs in even the tiniest abrasion. From there, screw-shaped larvae—which give the flies their name—emerge to literally twist and bore into their victim, eating them alive and causing a putrid, life-threatening lesion.

Tip of a screwworm larvae (Photo: CSIRO)

The new lure for the flies is just one of several defense efforts in Texas, which stands to suffer heavy livestock losses from an invasion. Screwworms are a ferocious foe to many animals, but are particularly devastating to farm animals.

“When it comes to safeguarding Texas’ $15 billion cattle industry, we need to focus on action rather than words. That’s why I instructed my Biosecurity team to develop an effective screwworm lure,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said.

But cattle industry losses aren’t the only grave risk from the vicious parasites. In Colombia, endemic screwworms have apparently grown bolder in their taste for flesh. This week, biologists and researchers reported in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases that the worms caused life-threatening infections in two wild mountain tapirs, an endangered species that lives in a protected area of the Central Andes. While there had been anecdotal reports of screwworm infestations in mountain tapirs, they were not previously considered a threat to the herbivorous mammals. The authors noted that it’s unclear why the fly has suddenly emerged in mountain tapirs, which resemble wild pigs with trunks, but climate change and livestock movements could be causing the flies to expand their appetites.

Tuberculosis Spreading in Trumpf Junta’s ICE Gulags

The World Health Organization says tuberculosis kills 1.5 million people each year, even though it’s both preventable and curable.

ICE detainees have tested positive for tuberculosis at the Anchorage Correctional Complex in Alaska and Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California. One immigrant died days after a diagnosis of the disease in the Eloy Detention Center in Arizona, an ICE death notice shows. Detainees may have been exposed at the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora, according to a lawsuit. And in Washington state, several possible cases of tuberculosis in the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma were reported this month to state authorities, and one man was hospitalized for it.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have previously downplayed the presence of tuberculosis, including responding to questions about the cases in Tacoma by saying, “This false claim needs to stop.”

The cruelty of the Trumpf junta and their kapos is simply bottomless. These ICE gulags are nothing but concentration camps for vulnerable migrants. No doubt UN, ICRC (Red Cross), or ICC investigators would gather evidence of crimes against humanity being perpetrated by America’s Sturmabteilung if they were permitted access to these crammed torture chambers. Other diseases will probably spread amongst the prisoners too. Their deaths will be attributed as “NIH”: No Humans Involved.

World Ablaze: Infernos Raging in Canada, Europe

Map: FIRMS/USFS/NASA

Canada is going through its second-worst burn on record and the blazes are occurring not in the west, but in the bone-dry prairie provinces and the Atlantic region. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes due to the wildfires. Saskatchewan and Manitoba have been the worst hit, covering more than 60% of the area burned in Canada. The fires have seized strained resources in Atlantic Canada, where officials in Newfoundland and Labrador are struggling to battle out-of-control blazes.

Firefighters in Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Turkiye continue to battle wildfires that have raged on for weeks. Hot and dry conditions are expected to persist, challenging efforts to contain the blazes. Bulgaria, Montenegro, and Albania have requested help from the EU’s firefighting force to deal with forest fires. The force has already been activated as many times this year as the entirety of last year’s fire season. In April 2025, Israel suffered its largest wildfire ever.

Europe has been warming twice as fast as the global average since the 1980s, according to the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. The EU monitoring agency says that 2024 was the hottest year on record both globally and in Europe, which experienced its second-highest number of “heat stress” days. Sea temperatures are also rising globally, particularly in the Mediterranean Sea, debilitating marine life and impacting livelihoods. Moreover, warmer ocean waters increase the potency of hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons.

It alleges that the government funded, and the Royal Victoria Hospital and McGill University enabled, “depatterning treatments” that violated the patients’ bodies and minds.

The patients who submitted the class-action request claimed that the Cold War-era experiments, conducted by Dr. Ewen Cameron at the Allan Memorial Institute and known as the ‘Montreal Experiments,’ were carried out without their consent or even their knowledge. Judge Dominique Poulin authorized two patients, Julie Tanny and Lana Ponting, to represent all persons who underwent depatterning treatments at the Allan Memorial Institute between 1948 and 1964 and their successors, family members, and dependents

Dr Cameron’s notes on a patient.

Many indigenous people in Quebec, mainly Mohawks, were experimented on without their consent or knowledge and disappeared from public records. Searches of the excavated sites suggested that their bodies were summarily disposed of. Cadaver dogs have identified possible evidence of human remains on the grounds of Montreal’s old Royal Victoria Hospital, a sprawling network of now-vacant buildings, some dating back 140 years, on Mount Royal’s southern flank. No concrete evidence of this has yet been established but the ‘Mohawk Mothers’ advocacy group and other investigators are still searching. We wish them success in their hunt for the truth and justice,

During Ted Kaczynski’s sophomore year at Harvard University in 1959, he was recruited for a psychological experiment that would last three years. The experiment Ted Kaczynski participated in at Harvard involved psychological torment and humiliation. For 18 years (1978 to 1996), using homemade improvised explosive devices, Ted Kaczynski (AKA the “Unabomber” and Harvard Class of ’62) terrorized those he saw as agents of antihuman technology before his 1996 arrest at the hands of his brother who reported him to the FBI.

USIC Dysfunction Festers Under Trumpf Junta

The worst person to ever oversee an intelligence community, DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

CIA officials were concerned that the release of a House report on 2016 Russian election meddling could reveal top-secret spying techniques and sources, but DNI Tulsi Gabbard authorized a lightly redacted version with President Dummkopf Trumpf’s blessing. Gabbard, D/CIA John Ratcliffe, USAG Pam Bondi have released a slew of intelligence and law enforcement reports that they claim prove that USIC findings that Moscow intervened in the 2016 presidential contest to help Trumpf was a “hoax” concocted by the Obama administration.

FBI Under More Duress

Two senior FBI officials, including one who initially resisted the Trumpf junta’s  effort to gather the names of agents who worked on cases related to the US Capitol attack on 6 Jan 2021, are being fired. Brian Driscoll and Steve Jensen are the latest victim’s of the junta’s Stalinist purges. Trumpf is also firing other agents in the FBI who were perceived to be opposed to him in the past. Sycophantic D/FBI Kash Patel had already atomized the presence of agents in Washington by spreading them out across the US. The Trumpf junta has also ordered 120 FBI agents to work on night shifts in Washington DC in a so-called effort to combat street crime in the capital. To distract from the Jeffrey Epstein saga, Trumpf also mobilized the DC Army National Guard to assist the Metropolitan Police Department.

The worst gaggle of incompetent political hacks to ever lead the USIC are making a dog’s breakfast of trying to distract the American public from the never-ending Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell cover-up. Junta members will mindlessly sacrifice USIC secrets just to protect their cult leader, Dummkopf Trumpf, and they are happy to dismantle the FBI which was his greatest threat to power.

More Bad News for the USIC and the Anti-Trumpf Coalition

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller has lived in a memory-care facility “for the past few years.” Unclear is whether the House Oversight Committee intends to withdraw its subpoena of Mueller. The subpoena relates to Mueller’s involvement in a decades-old FBI investigation into convicted and deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Russian collusion in the 2016 Presidential election to help President Dummkopf Trumpf win. Mueller’s 2019 report arguably damaged Trump’s first term, although it ultimately failed to depose him or his first junta, but resulted in convictions of some GOP quislings.

In 2017 when Dummkopf Trumpf heard that Robert Mueller was appointed Special Counsel, he told then-USAG Jeff Sessions: “Oh my God! This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m f***ed.” Trumpf knows that as a former D/FBI and AUSA, Robert Mueller learned many of Trumpf’s nefarious connections to Russian and Italian organized crime, as well as the Kremlin. Rumors also circulated that Trumpf and his colleague Felix Sater were both Confidential Informants for the FBI in the 1980s and 1990s; the two occasionally coughing up a crook or two to avoid federal prosecution. Dummkopf Trumpf will no doubt be greatly relieved the day the former US Marine who knows most of his secrets passes.

Nota Bene: D/FBI Robert Mueller expressly forbid his agents from torturing Muslim prisoners caught in Iraq or Afghanistan, unlike CIA who used the term ‘enhanced interrogation’ to get away with war crimes, such as waterboarding prisoners (shown above).

Russian Hackers Penetrate US Criminal Justice System Computers

Investigators have uncovered evidence that Russia is at least partly responsible for a recent hack of the computer system that manages federal court documents, including highly sensitive records with information that could reveal sources and people charged with national security crimes.

Unclear is what entity is responsible, whether an arm of Russian intelligence might be behind the intrusion or if other countries were also involved. Some of the searches included midlevel criminal cases in the New York City area and several other jurisdictions, with some cases involving people with Russian and Eastern European surnames.

Russian, Chinese, Israeli, Iranian, or drug cartel hackers may be responsible for this incredible breach to obtain information on witnesses, informants, or evidence in federal criminal investigations. Federal judges and administrators have taken steps to mitigate the breach, but the extent of the damage is still being assessed. Key witnesses and informants have possibly become vulnerable to extortion, intimidation, or worse.

US Army Soldier Charged With Selling Military Secrets to Russia

Taylor Adam Lee (Photo: US Army)

Taylor Adam Lee (22) of El Paso, TX was arrested on charges of attempted transmission of national defense information (NDI) to Russia regarding the operation of the M1A2 Abrams, the main US battle tank.

In June 2025, Lee allegedly transmitted export-controlled technical information on the M1A2 Abrams Tank online and offered assistance to the Russian Federation, stating, “the USA is not happy with me for trying to expose their weaknesses,” and added, “At this point I’d even volunteer to assist the Russian federation when I’m there in any way.” In July, Lee met with an undercover Counterintelligence Agent whom he thought was a Russian officer and passed along the NDI. The defendant was subsequently arrested.

Weighing 68 tons, the M1A2 Abrams is the most advanced tank in the world.

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

This was a remarkably stupid attempt at espionage from this disgruntled 22-year-old troop who threw his life away over sensitive technical information regarding the M1A2 Abrams Tank. The amount of money exchanged has not been revealed, but whatever it was, this was not worth his career and life in any way, shape, or form.

Russian Intelligence Agents Arrest Fugitive Oligarch in Dubai

Superrich Vyacheslav Solovyov in an undated photo.

Russian intelligence agents arrested Vyacheslav Solovyov in a rare extradition operation in a Dubai shopping center on 5 Aug. He is the former chief executive of a state-run leasing company who fled Russia nearly a decade ago. Following his detention, Solovyov was taken to the Russian Embassy in Dubai and flown to Moscow the next day.

He now faces charges of espionage, which carry a prison term of 10 to 20 years, as well as fraud.

Russian security agencies had known Solovyov’s whereabouts for more than a year. But extradition from the UAE is unusual, as the Gulf nation typically refuses to hand over fugitives wanted in Russia. Months of negotiations took place in the lead-up to the arrest. General Filatov, who oversaw the Dubai operation, heads the SVR’s elite Zaslon unit, responsible for protecting top Russian officials during overseas visits and safeguarding key diplomatic missions.

Solovyov led VEB-Leasing, a subsidiary of state-owned development bank Vnesheconombank (now VEB.RF), from 2008 to 2016. He abruptly stopped coming to work in March 2016, later telling colleagues he had traveled to Switzerland to seek medical treatment. He never returned to Russia. An audit of his company revealed $176.4 million was missing. Investigators in 2018 accused Solovyov and several senior executives of fraud, alleging they had signed contracts with affiliated companies on non-market terms, doubling the price of transport equipment and siphoning funds to offshore accounts

Mexico Extradites 26 Cartel Members to US

The competent leader of one country and the imbecile in charge of another.

The US has taken into custody 26 fugitives from Mexico facing a range of federal and state criminal charges relating to drug-trafficking, hostage-taking, kidnapping, illegal use of firearms, human smuggling, money laundering, and murder. Among the fugitives are leaders and managers of dangerous drug cartels, designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs), including the Sinaloa Cartel, Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), and Cártel del Noreste (formerly Los Zetas). These fugitives are collectively alleged to have imported into the US tonnage quantities of dangerous drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and heroin.

The cartel figures were put on planes after the Justice Department agreed not to seek the death penalty against any of the defendants or against any cartel leaders and members sent to the US in February. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

”Icy, cool” Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum is ‘masterfully’ appeasing the Trumpf junta to prevent US military intervention in her country and avoid damaging sanctions or tariffs, all while trying to uplift her people from poverty. She is violating the Mexican constitution by extraditing her citizens to the US, as well as risking her own life. President Sheinbaum and Dummkopf Trumpf have yet to meet, but they reportedly speak to each other by phone. Her government is trying to use the US court system to sue American gun manufacturers, the leading source of firearms in Mexico. American demand for drugs is something President Sheinbaum cannot influence.

London Chess Prodigy, Ten Years Old, Becomes Master Player

From the BBC:

A ten-year-old chess prodigy from north-west London has become the youngest person to earn the woman international master title.

Bodhana Sivanandan, from Harrow, also became the youngest female player to beat a chess grandmaster at the 2025 British Chess Championship earlier this month.

In 2024 Bodhana was thought to have become the youngest person ever to represent England internationally in any sport when she was selected for England Women’s Team at the Chess Olympiad in Hungary.

Her father Siva previously told the BBC he had no idea where his daughter got her talent from as neither he or his wife, both engineering graduates, are any good at chess.

The International Chess Federation said on its social media account on X that Bodhana “pulled off the win against 60-year-old Grandmaster Peter Wells in the last round of the 2025 British Chess Championships in Liverpool”.

The federation added: “Sivanandan’s victory at 10 years, five months and three days beats the 2019 record held by American Carissa Yip (10 years, 11 months and 20 days).”

Grandmaster is the highest title a chess player can attain and the rank is held for life.

Bodhana’s new title – woman international master – is the second highest-ranking title given exclusively to women, second only to woman grandmaster.

Bodhana first took up chess during the Covid-19 pandemic. She says chess makes her feel “good” and helps her with “lots of other things like math, how to calculate.”

Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) Made $3.4 Billion From White House Connections

A lengthy investigation from The New Yorker estimates the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) will have enriched themselves by more than $3.4 billion by the end of his second term, much of it from deals, transactions, and investments that almost certainly wouldn’t have happened if the Dotard had never been POTUS.

The pelf comes from lucrative commercial projects in the Persian Gulf overseen by the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF), such as hotels and golf courses in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the UAE; a luxury Boeing 747-8 gifted by the Qatari royal family; and a flood of Trumpf-branded merchandise and other kitsch marketed by the junta.

Trumpf’s foray into the world of cryptocurrency and NFTs has also been extremely lucrative for the TCF. Jared Kushner’s private equity firm, who scored a two billion dollar investment from a fund led by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is also said to have contributing at least $320 million to the family’s presidential profits.

Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reports that the Republican Big Beautiful Bill (“BBB”) will make the poorest Americans even poorer, while enriching the highest earners the most.  The top 10% of earners in the US will see an average boost of $13,600 per year over the next decade, while the bottom 10% will see an average annual decrease of $1,200. The number of poor people becoming homeless or dying will increase thanks to Dummkopf Trumpf while his family and the oligarchs enjoy platinum health care, First Class air travel and vacations, and no school, home, or medical debts, like 99% of American families must endure.

Sudan: Cholera Outbreak Kills 40 People in One Week

At least 40 people have died in Sudan’s Darfur region in the war-torn country’s worst outbreak of cholera in years, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reported.

“On top of an all-out war, people in Sudan are now experiencing the worst cholera outbreak the country has seen in years,” the medical charity said in a statement. “In the Darfur region alone, MSF teams treated over 2,300 patients and recorded 40 deaths in the past week.”

Nearly 30 million Sudanese —over half of the entire country— are facing high levels of acute food insecurity, with famine declared in multiple areas. Dummkopf Trumpf’s devastating and inhuman elimination of USAID this year under the under-qualified and vapid USSECSTATE Marco Rubio– an ’empty suit’– is responsible for these deaths and misery. USAID was created by JFK to help poor people worldwide and promote goodwill, for exactly this type of catastrophe. Humanitarian aid cuts are rapidly accelerating the already unconscionable death toll. Tons of food and medicine destined for Sudan and other Third World countries have either spoiled in US warehouses or were destroyed, wasting millions of dollars of American taxpayer funds and supplies that could have helped victims of famine and disease.

Pop Icon Madonna Implores Pope Leo to Visit Gaza Strip to Stop Genocide in Gaza

The Israeli Death Forces (IDF) are killing 28 children a day in Gaza, the size of a classroom full of pupils say in the US, Canada, UK, Turkiye, Denmark, or Chile.

Pope Leo has been outspoken critic of the IDF onslaught on the Palestinian people. During a Mass for the Jubilee of Young People in Rome last week, Pope Leo expressed solidarity for the children who are suffering as a result of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.

The late Pope Francis maintained daily contact with Gaza City’s Holy Family Church before his death, the parish priest of the region’s only Catholic church.  

Madonna rarely performed this song live during her illustrious career,  only during the Virgin Tour in 1985 and The Celebration Tour in 2023. Angel (released in 1985) is considered a hidden gem by some critics. 

AIPAC and Benjamin Netanyahu will disapprove of Madonna’s plea for the first ever American Pope to help the beleaguered Palestinians. Madonna will be accused of being a “Hamas lover” (whatever that means) and pilloried as an antisemite, like poor Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic NYC mayoral candidate.

IDF Brazenly and Openly Killing Journalists

To control the narrative, the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) have been openly and brazenly murdering journalists in the Gaza Strip, a war crime.

Jodie Ginsberg from The Guardian reports:

‘If Israel can wipe out an entire news crew without the international community so much as batting an eye, what will stop further attacks on reporters.’ (Photo: Mohammed Badra / EPA)

In the two decades preceding 7 Oct 2023, Israeli forces killed 20 journalists. No one has ever been held accountable for any of those deaths, including that of the Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, whose killing in 2022 sent shock waves through the region.

The IDF recently killed an entire news crew led by Anas al-Sharif. The IDF first began making threats against al-Sharif shortly after the start of the war. The journalist reported receiving multiple phone calls from IDF officers instructing him to cease coverage and leave northern Gaza, as well as voice notes on WhatsApp disclosing his location. In December 2023, an Israeli airstrike hit his family home, killing the journalist’s 90-year-old father.

A year later, the Israeli army alleged publicly that Anas al-Sharif was a terrorist – claims it repeated last month shortly after Anas al-Sharif exposed the rampant levels of starvation throughout Gaza as a result of Israel’s refusal to allow in sufficient food aid. An Israeli spokesperson accused al-Sharif of lying about the famine – despite corroboration of widespread starvation by independent and international groups.

To date, Israel has provided no independently verifiable evidence that any of the journalists whom it has admitted deliberately targeting were terrorists

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) had seen this playbook from Israel before: a pattern in which journalists are accused by Israel of being terrorists with no credible evidence. Indeed, we were so concerned that al-Sharif was being targeted that we issued a public statement urging his protection.

Instead, al-Sharif was killed alongside his colleagues in an attack that Israel has openly admitted was aimed at killing the journalist. Al-Sharif is the 184th Palestinian journalist to have been killed by Israel since the start of the war and one of at least 26 journalists whom CPJ believes to have been deliberately targeted for their work as journalists.

More than 192 journalists and media workers have been killed since 7 Oct 2023. Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinians is the deadliest conflict for journalists that we have ever documented.

If Israel can wipe out an entire news crew without the international community so much as batting an eye, what will stop further attacks on reporters?

According to the New York Times, since 7 Oct 2023 the IDF has created a legion of child amputees and orphans in the Gaza Strip.  The IDF death toll of Palestinians is now 61,499, mostly women and children, and 153,575 maimed or wounded.

Resistance to Israeli Atrocities and AIPAC Complicity Growing

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused AIPAC of “breaking US laws” after the lobbying group took members of Congress on a fully-paid trip to Israel. “I’m absolutely furious, and as a matter of fact, AIPAC needs to register as a foreign lobbyist because they’re breaking US laws by donating to members of Congress and by taking them on a fully-funded trip to Israel. Every single freshman member of Congress this year, they just took them over just recently and had them meet with the Prime Minister of Israel.”

“But let’s frame that correctly. They take them over to meet with the secular government of nuclear-armed Israel. Israel who is less than $400 billion in debt. Israel who has taxpayer-funded healthcare and college. Israel is not hurting and they’ve already proven that they are more than capable of not only defending themselves, but annihilating their enemies to the point of genocide, and that’s what’s happening in Gaza. The reason why AIPAC is attacking me is because I dared to tell the truth.”

Australia PM Anthony Albanese has accused Benjamin Netanyahu of being “in denial” over the consequences of the Nakba in Gaza. He announced his country would recognise a Palestinian state at the UNGA in September, following similar moves by the UK, France, and Canada.

Albanese said frustration with the Likud junta had played a role in the move, saying Australians “want to see the killing stop.”

The AIPAC analog in the land “down under,” the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, called Australian recognition of Palestine a “betrayal.”

Italian and Greek dock workers recently went on strike to prevent weapons from reaching Israel and Germany (the second largest arms provider to Israel after the US) is finally stopping lethal shipments that could be used against Palestinians in Gaza. Too bad the 2024 Democratic candidates didn’t stand up to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, an ICC-indicted war criminal, like we see from these examples today.

Democratic Party Must Rid Itself of AIPAC to Win Elections Again

After the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz ticket lost 6,265,888 voters on 5 Nov 2024 that supported Joe Biden/Kamala Harris on 3 Nov 2020, Democratic Party loyalist Dr. Robert Reich bloviated that his party lost to Republican Dummkopf Trumpf because of “poor messaging.” Dr. Reich’s entire five minute and 14 second analysis on YouTube didn’t mention once the unqualified US military and economic support for Israel whose IDF was ethnically cleansing the Gaza Strip and whose zealous Settlers were land-grabbing Palestinian properties in the West Bank.

Why would such an intelligent and well-educated academic describe so many factors for the disastrous 2024 Harris/Walz loss except for that one critical piece of the puzzle? Followers of the Watch, you can hear his distracting and idiotic diatribe here (if you wish to hear AIPAC propaganda and waste your time):  

Really, Dr. Reich? How much can you possibly underestimate the intellect of American progressives, antiwar voters, and non-Islamophobes?

The Day After the Election (6 Nov 2024)

“But Joe, I followed the AIPAC script!”

“Maybe ‘Bibi’ will help us out, Kamala!”

One AI calculation:

“A YouGov poll backed by the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) Policy Project and released showed that among the 19 million people who voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 but did not vote in 2024, nearly one third named Israel’s US-backed war on Gaza as a top reason for staying home.”

The handsome and intelligent Zohran Mamdani is leading in the polls against a coalition of Islamophobes and oligarchs in the race for NYC Mayor. This race is the first counterattack against the Trumpf junta, AIPAC, and the status quo.

Now AIPAC Democrats are targeting fellow Democrat Zohran Mamdani in the race for NYC Mayor for no logical reason other than he is a Muslim-American. If the Democratic Party wants to oust Dummkopf Trumpf and the Republicans from power in future elections, they must rid themselves of AIPAC and Islamophobes or else antiwar Samaritans and pro-Palestinian voters will simply stay home, like what happened in 1968 to VPOTUS Hubert Humphrey.

Trumpf Vetting Top Military General Appointments in Loyalty Test

President Donald Trumpf is now meeting with four-star general nominees personally, a notable departure from past practices that raises ethical concerns about the further mingling of political roles within the military’s highest ranks.

Expanding Trumpf’s role in vetting future four-star generals comes amid a trend by this junta of tapping the military for the president’s domestic agenda, including the creation of new militarized zones along the southern US border, deployments to tamp down public protests over immigration raids, and the use of troops to bolster immigration enforcement and deportations.

Leaked DHS Memo Reveals US Military to Bolster ICE on American Streets

This leaked internal memo circulated inside DHS suggests that Dotard Trumpf’s use of the military for domestic law enforcement on immigration could soon get worse. The memo lays out the need to persuade top DOD officials to get much more serious about using the military to combat illegal immigration—and not just at the border. It suggests that DHS is anticipating many more uses of the military in urban centers, noting that LA-style operations may be needed “for years to come.” And it likens the threat posed by transnational gangs and cartels to having “Al Qaeda or ISIS cells and fighters operating freely inside America,” hinting at a ramped-up militarized posture inside the interior.

Trumpf’s resurrection of the infamous 1919-20 Palmer Raids, combined with DOD support, normalizes a militarized American society. Trumpf has amassed a $200 million war chest of political funds, even though he is Constitutionally forbidden to run for POTUS a third term. So, what is the money for? Perpetuation of GOP power over America with willing generals, a Republican Congress, and a subservient Supreme Court to supporting fascist-oligarch rule. Some Republican governors are gerrymandering their congressional districts to ensure white GOP candidates will have easy wins in the 2026 mid-term elections.

President Trumpf Announces US Nuclear Submarines Moved Closer to Russia

Dummkopf Trumpf said he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in “the appropriate regions” in response to remarks from former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev about the risk of war between the nuclear-armed adversaries.

Trumpf’s move is a rhetorical escalation with Moscow but not necessarily a military one, given that the US already has nuclear-powered submarines that are deployed and capable of striking Russia.

Medvedev said Trumpf should remember that Moscow possessed Soviet-era nuclear strike capabilities of last resort, after Trump had told Medvedev to “watch his words.”

Kabuki Theater

The location of USN nuclear-armed submarines (Ohio-class) is supposed to be ‘restricted information,’ like the maximum speed of USN aircraft carriers. Russia not knowing the location of constantly moving US nuclear subs makes them a threat and part of America’s defensive triad. When the USAF moves strategic aircraft, civilians near the bases see them, or they are spotted in commercially available satellite imagery, so that may be discussed in a narrow, limited manner. (e.g. “No comment”). Trumpf or Pete Hellsbreath shouldn’t be discussing any issues of US nuclear submarines with an adversary or in public. Announcing the submarine movement towards Russia is simply poor kabuki theater between the Trumpf junta and the Kremlin, as Trumpf is buying time for the Kremlin to continue its war against Ukraine while demonstrating to the American people that he is really trying to stop Russian President Vladimir Putin. Similarly, the Trumpf junta has bought time and financially supported Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip.

Trumpf Junta Investigating Former Special Counsel Jack Smith

Jack Smith is now under formal investigation by the Office of Special Counsel, marking the first official inquiry into his conduct.

Smith had been tapped by the Justice Department to lead two high-profile criminal cases involving President Dummkopf Trumpf—one focused on classified documents and another on Trumpf’s role in the events of 6 Jan 2021, and whether they constituted an effort to overturn the election. Both cases ultimately ended in dismissal.

The Hatch Act Unit—which is responsible for ensuring that federal employees do not engage in political activity in violation of the law—is now examining Smith’s conduct.

The probe was initiated after Republican Senator Tom Cotton sent a letter to the Office of Special Counsel earlier in the week, accusing Smith of using his authority to deliberately sabotage Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

Smith, who had been appointed to his position by Attorney General Merrick Garland during the Biden administration, stepped down in January after Trumpf returned to the White House.

Republican critics of Smith have long lied that the charges brought against Trumpf were less about the law and more about politics, aimed at damaging his chances in the upcoming election.

This is pure partisan revenge against an honorable attorney who successfully prosecuted war criminals at the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague.

Trumpf Revives Presidential Fitness Tests for Children, Then Names Registered Sex Offender to the Council

In the middle of his vexing Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal, Dotard Trumpf re-established the Presidential Fitness Tests for students. Trumpf said he aims to address Americans’ declining health and physical fitness, including “crisis levels” of obesity, chronic disease, inactivity, and poor nutrition. He chose HHS Secretary anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr, to lead the program, as astonishing as that is, Trumpf then chose retired NFL legend Lawrence Taylor (66), a registered sex offender, to sit on the Presidential Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.

Trump Claims Sixth Club Championship Win of 2025

Trumpf Junta Wasting Millions of Dollars of Food Aid for Poor People

A well-nourished man steals maize from a starving child at an MSF food distribution site in Sudan.

More than 60,000 metric tons of food have languished in warehouses in the US and around the world. 15,000 pounds of food have languished for months and expired in a Georgia warehouse before they could be sent overseas to famine-stricken areas like Sudan. Mana Nutrition’s warehouse holds plenty more of the peanut paste, a crucial element in treating malnutrition. A $50 million supply has been stacked for months in their facility as the Trumpf junta upended foreign aid and the food was never shipped. The food could still help 60 million people, Mana estimates. “This is a giant glut,” David Todd Harmon said. “All contracted. All bought and paid for. It’s just not been picked up.” Mana’s decision to jettison part of its food cache was the third instance in recent weeks in which important nutrition and family planning assistance slated for overseas was marked for destruction.

This is beyond Fraud, Waste, and Abuse of American taxpayer money, but contemptible racist cruelty at the hands of the worst USSECSTATE in American history, Marco Rubio, an empty suit void of vision, integrity, and empathy, and his master, eugenicist Dummkopf Trumpf. The Republican Party touts itself as “Christian,” but there is nothing “Christian” about letting poor people starve and wasting money already allocated by Congress to combat global famine. Meanwhile, the junta is wasting $200 million on renovating the ballroom of the White House into a gaudy eyesore. $200 million could feed approximately 800,000 poor Americans for one month; approximately 66,666 could be fed for one year with the same amount.

Lastly, as you previously read here on Coriolanus, junta members and lobbyists are profiting mightily from this misery as the leaders of poor countries are now paying bribes to get US foreign assistance from Dotard Trumpf.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Wasted $21.7 Billion of American Taxpayer Money

US Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Ranking Member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) released a Minority staff report unveiling that Elon Musk’s brainchild, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has generated at least $21.7 billion in waste across the federal government between 20 Jan 2025 and 18 July 2025. The report, “The $21.7 Billion Blunder: Analyzing the Waste Generated by DOGE,” follows a months-long investigation into Elon Musk and DOGE and is the most comprehensive effort to date to quantify taxpayer dollars squandered by DOGE despite its ostensible goal of eliminating government waste.

“This report is a searing indictment of DOGE’s false claims. At the very same time that the Trump Administration is cutting health care, nutrition assistance, and emergency services in the name of ‘efficiency’ and ‘savings,’ they have enabled DOGE’s reckless waste of at least $21.7 billion dollars,” said Blumenthal. “As my PSI investigation has shown, DOGE was clearly never about efficiency or saving the American taxpayer money. I urge Inspectors General to take up our investigation’s findings and initiate a comprehensive review of DOGE’s careless actions.”

White House Press Spokesperson Says Trumpf Deserves Nobel Peace Prize

Laughably, WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that Dummkopf Trumpf deserves to win the Nobel Peace Prize: “President Trump has brokered, on average, one peace deal or ceasefire per month. It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Noble Peace Prize.” Her full idiotic statement is below. Note that college educated Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt misspelled “Nobel.”

“On the peace front, President Trump helped deliver an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. The two countries were engaged in a deadly conflict that had displaced more than 300,000 people until President Trump stepped in to put an end to it. The president spoke directly on the phone with the acting prime minister of Thailand and the prime minister of Cambodia to inform both leaders that unless they brought their conflict to an end, there would be no trade discussions or agreements with the United States.

“Almost immediately afterward, a peace was brokered that will save thousands of lives and allow for trade negotiations with these countries to resume and they have. The president has now ended conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia.

“This means President Trump has brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office. It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Noble [sic] Peace Prize.”

The winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on 10 October 2025 by the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo, Norway, and will be awarded on 10 December 2025. Only an insane person would think Dotard Trumpf would even be considered for this prestigious award.

This preposterous and imbecilic proposal was followed by Trumpf (79) making suggestive comments about Karoline Leavitt’s (27) appearance: “She’s become a star. It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun,” Trump said. “She’s a great person, actually. But she’s – I don’t think anybody has ever had a better press secretary than Karoline. She’s been amazing.”

Ghislaine Maxwell Update

The abhorrent Ghislaine Maxwell in court. (Image: Reuters: Jane Rosenberg)

Notorious sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell offered to testify before Congress, but with major conditions, including immunity. Then House Oversight Chair James Comer announced scheduled congressional deposition is indefinitely postponed. In a letter to Maxwell, Comer said he would agree to delay the meeting after her lawyers earlier this week requested a postponement in the planned 11 Aug testimony citing a pending Supreme Court petition regarding her case. Maxwell’s attorneys also made a number of requests in order to facilitate her cooperation with the Oversight panel’s questioning ” some of which Comer rejected outright.

Comer agreed to delay the interview until after the Supreme Court rules on her appeal, which claims that her 2021 sex trafficking conviction was barred by Epstein’s earlier plea deal. That’s not likely to happen before the court begins its annual term in October.

Ms. Maxwell is allegedly seeking a presidential pardon from Dotard Trumpf. The notorious sex trafficker was then quietly moved from her prison at FCI Tallahassee, FL, to a ‘softer’ prison in Texas that has an ‘honor system.’ That means that somebody waived Maxwell’s sex offender status.

The Deputy Attorney-General handling the matter is also Trumpf’s personal attorney, raising all sorts of conflict of interest problems.

Congress Subpoenas Justice Dept for Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein Files

The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed the Department of Justice for files in the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. It’s part of a congressional probe that lawmakers believe may show links to Dotard Trumpf and other former top officials.

The Republican-controlled committee also issued subpoenas for depositions with former President Bill Clinton, former USSECSTATE Hillary Clinton and eight former top law enforcement officials. The committee’s actions showed how even with lawmakers away from Washington on a monthlong break, interest in the Epstein files is still running high.

Anti-Trumpists in the US Senate Can Do More

US Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Ranking Member of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) can hold public hearings about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. His committee won’t have subpoena powers to compel testimony since Democrats are in the minority; however, Senator Blumenthal can invite witnesses to testify before Congress, as you see above. Such witnesses would include the AUSA, FBI agents, and NYPD officers that investigated Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, as well as their victims. All of them would have to voluntarily appear at the hearings.

And Coriolanus is not alone in suspecting that notorious sex predators Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were Mossad assets collecting derogatory information on behalf of Israel. Obviously Israel and AIPAC does not want any alleged connection between them exposed. When Ghislaine Maxwell is finally released from federal custody in approximately 20 years, Coriolanus would not be surprised if this UK citizen found refuge in Israel.

But it Can and is Happening in America Right Now

90 years ago novelist Sinclair Lewis wrote It Can’t Happen Here about a dangerous demagogue who becomes a fascist POTUS. The novel was soon produced into a play and decades later in 1968 ABC aired a made-for-TV film roughly based on Sinclair Lewis’ dystopian novel. You will recognize some of the actors, as well as the writer, of this nearly forgotten movie, Shadow on the Land:

US Nuclear Power Plant Horror Stories

Locations of radioactive sites in the US. 80 atomic power plants mottle America.

South Carolina: Radioactive Wasps Found at Nuclear Waste Site

The Northern Paper Wasp (Photo: https://birdwatchinghq.com/)

The US Department of Energy discovered a radioactive wasp nest near the Savannah River Site (SRS) nuclear waste facility in South Carolina. The nest was found to have ten times more radiation than permitted levels. The wasp nest was found near tanks that are being used to store millions of gallons of liquid nuclear waste. The nest was sprayed with insect killer, removed and disposed of as radiological waste. Wasps generally fly only a few hundred feet from their nest and the nest was found in the middle of the 310-square-mile SRS meaning there is little chance they flew outside of the facility. Investigators say that the radiation was not related to any nuclear waste leak and that there was no impact on the environment or the public.

The population within a 50-mile radius of the Site center in Aiken, Allendale, and Barnwell counties in South Carolina and in Richmond, Burke, and Screven counties in Georgia, is 803,370. The largest population concentration is in the Augusta, Georgia, metropolitan area.

The SRS opened in the 1950s, when it was creating plutonium to be used in the core of nuclear bombs. The site continues to operate today, but with a focus on nuclear material for power plants. There are approximately 80 commercial nuclear power plants across 34 states, and each of these produces nuclear by-products (spent nuclear fuel), which is often stored on-site in pools or dry casks.

The site is administered by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) which the Trumpf junta and DOGE recklessly targeted for budget and personnel cuts.

But If no leaks of spent fuel were reported, how did the wasps become radioactive?

Florida: Nuclear Plant Workers Afraid to Report Safety Concerns

Dummkopf Trumpf’s Mar-A-Lago resort is approximately 30 miles away from the Port St Lucie nuclear facility,

A culture of fear has persisted at a Florida nuclear power plant owned and operated by the state’s largest utility, Florida Power & Light (FPL). Workers were hesitant to report safety concerns to upper management lest they face retaliation. Inspectors came to this conclusion after interviewing more than 75 employees at the St. Lucie plant, located on a barrier island an hour north of West Palm Beach. A federal database showed workers’ anonymous complaints of wrongdoing at the plant skyrocketed last year. On-site workers filed far more reports here than at any other of the nation’s 54 nuclear power plants. The findings come as the utility asks regulators for permission to hike Floridians’ electric rates by billions of dollars over the next four years. FPL’s proposed increase represents the largest rate hike request in US history. FPL CEO Armando Pimentel Jr’s total 2024 compensation was $11.4 million.

Nuclear power plants need large amounts of water for cooling and hence their locations near rivers or oceans, but ocean water temperatures have been rising for decades. Moreover, the power, intensity, and frequency of hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean have also been increasing. With all of these safety and environmental challenges, the Port St Lucie nuclear plant could be a potential Floridian Chernobyl.

Hurricane Milton was the most powerful storm to hit Tampa Bay in 100 years.

Canada: Drug Cartel Banking Activity

‘The Trumpf junta’s focus on illegal drugs has put Mexican cartel activity in Canada under the microscope. This analysis finds that cartel activity in Canada is increasingly a problem and has worsened over the last two decades. Based on a case study analysis of drug seizures in Canada, both large and small, it is clear that the main products being moved by these organizations are fentanyl, street drugs (cocaine and meth), and illegal tobacco. A conservative estimate on the size of the illicit market for those products is $2.672 billion CAD per year. Not only is the market significant for these products, but the distribution of these products is shifting to online marketplaces/retailers, facilitated by major financial institutions (banks, credit card companies, Interac), and delivered directly to the doors of buyers by Canada Post. With Canada listing Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, the potential consequences for these institutions are significant.’

To counter these nefarious groups, the Government of Canada recently proscribed seven international criminal organizations as terrorist groups: Cártel del Golfo, Cártel de Sinaloa, La Familia Michoacana, Cárteles Unidos, La Mara Salvatrucha, Tren de Aragua, and Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación. This means any property of that group in Canada can be frozen and gives Canadian law enforcement more tools to prosecute terrorist offenses, including those related to financing, travel, and recruitment. This listing enhances domestic law enforcement capabilities, while respecting other countries’ sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Canada’s competent law-enforcement agencies include uniformed RCMP officers, investigators, accounting forensics experts, and linguists, all at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) is highly ranked as an employer by college graduates and attracts talented individuals.

Unknown Hackers Breach Website Used by USIC

Unidentified hackers recently compromised a major intelligence website used by the CIA and other agencies to submit details of sensitive contracts, according to the National Reconnaissance Office, the spy satellite service that runs the site.

The breach targeted proprietary intellectual property and personal information submitted on the Acquisition Research Center website in support of several innovative CIA spying programs.

In addition to the intelligence website hack, Microsoft revealed that Chinese state hackers compromised the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a central nuclear weapons agency.

The extent of the breach is not fully known, but people familiar with the activity said hackers likely obtained information on key technologies for CIA operations.

Other potential areas of compromise could include the US Space Force, its efforts to build surveillance satellites and space weapons, and the Golden Dome missile defense program.

Data from one highly sensitive program, Digital Hammer, was compromised.

Digital Hammer compiles cutting-edge technologies for human intelligence gathering, surveillance and counterintelligence operations. The program focuses on the threat of Chinese intelligence and information operations.

Portions of many Digital Hammer programs are unclassified. However, others submitted to the National Reconnaissance Office acquisition center are classified and involve capabilities essential to covert operations and strategic intelligence collection.

Digital Hammer is a closely guarded program working to develop open-source intelligence platforms, analytics, and items such as miniaturized sensors and hidden surveillance tools.

Other programs seek to develop acoustic and communications systems, artificial-intelligence-powered data collection, analysis and behavior prediction tools.

Countersurveillance and signature reduction technologies also are part of the program. Lori Ann Duvall-Jones, CIA deputy director of the Office of Acquisition Management, said in a 2023 speech that Digital Hammer is a contracting vehicle that allows vendors to present offerings “within a CIA space.”

There is no further information on the damage this breach caused in US intelligence operations and the suspects range from Russia, China, Israel, North Korea, India, Iran, or their proxies. Unfortunately the USIC is now led by a gaggle of incompetent lickspittles whose priorities are finding and firing undesirable employees (minorities, non-MAGA loyalists) and not on countering genuine threats to the Nation. America’s adversaries could not be luckier than today thanks to the Trumpfian Stalinist purges of competent, experienced intelligence employees.

Dipsomaniac USSECDEF Pete Hegseth, the most underqualified person to ever lead America’s nuclear-armed defense establishment, has his own share of OPSEC blunders.

Latin American Drug Cartels Snuck Operatives into Ukraine for Drone Training

Ukrainian servicemember operating a drone (Photo: Anadolu News Agency)

Ukrainian counterintelligence services are investigating the infiltration of Latin American drug cartel members into the country’s International Legion, with operatives seeking advanced drone training to later deploy against rivals and security forces in their home countries.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) launched a joint investigation with military intelligence after Mexico’s National Intelligence Center warned in early summer that Mexican volunteers had joined Ukraine’s foreign fighter units specifically to acquire first-person view (FPV) drone capabilities. The probe has since expanded to include Colombian nationals, raising concerns about Ukraine’s inadvertent role as a training ground for transnational criminal organizations.

The investigation centers on several Spanish-speaking units within the International Legion, particularly the tactical group “Ethos,” operating in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions. Ukrainian investigators reportedly suspect that some Mexican and Colombian volunteers intentionally sought placement in drone operator units to later use this training in the service of foreign criminal organizations.

One noteworthy case is that of a Mexican national operating under the alias “Águila-7,” who registered in March 2024 using fraudulent Salvadoran documentation. Posing as a humanitarian volunteer, he completed comprehensive drone training in Lviv while demonstrating exceptional technical expertise that eventually had instructors suspicious.

His extensive technical knowledge, including familiarity with electronic warfare countermeasures and thermal detection avoidance, reportedly stood out. Background investigations later revealed probable connections to Mexico’s elite GAFE special forces, some of whose former personnel have historically transitioned to cartel employment, notably through the ultra-violent Zetas organization.

The infiltration demonstrates remarkable operational sophistication for a nonstate group, with suspects employing false identities, forged documentation and front companies to facilitate their passage into Ukrainian territory and military structures. Intelligence analysts have identified a network of private security firms across Latin America that appear to have coordinated these placements.

Additional cases have emerged involving former FARC guerrillas who infiltrated the system using Panamanian and Venezuelan identity documents. At least three former FARC fighters passed through the International Legion using forged documents, with their relocation reportedly organized by cartel-linked entities.

The revelations highlight Ukraine’s unintended emergence as a premier training ground for modern asymmetric warfare techniques amid its conflict with Russia. Ukrainian authorities have developed comprehensive curricula covering drone manufacturing, tactical deployment, electronic warfare resistance and real-time battlefield coordination. Coincidentally, these capabilities also represent exactly the type of force multiplication that criminal organizations seek.

Mexican cartels are already conducting drone attacks against rivals and security forces domestically, making the acquisition of Ukrainian battlefield-tested tactics particularly concerning for regional security.

An unnamed SBU official said: “We welcomed volunteers in good faith. But we must now recognize that Ukraine has become a platform for the global dissemination of FPV tactics. Some come here to learn how to kill with a $400 drone, then sell this knowledge elsewhere to the highest bidder.”

This is Not a New Phenomenon

White supremacist militia members, well-trained by the US military.

Infiltrating military organizations in order to receive lethal training for nefarious purposes is not a new phenomenon. In the US, white supremacists began joining the US Army and USMC years ago after the draft ended in order to learn combat skills to later form militias. Some have conducted domestic terrorist attacks in America. Street gangs from the minorities also joined the US military, using their skills for criminal enterprises once they separate from the service. This case in Ukraine is unique in that criminal organizations invested time and personnel to send their operatives to a faraway warzone where they may get discovered or possibly killed in combat. Ukrainian SBU is competent and experienced and will soon locate these drug cartels operatives and prosecute or extradite them to their home countries.

‘Laughing Gas’ Abuse Fatally Climbing Among US Youth

JAMA reports:

“Teenagers and children across America are increasingly inhaling nitrous oxide, better known as “laughing gas” or “whippets” to get high. Inhaling nitrous oxide comes with serious health risks: Blood clots, frostbite, asphyxiation, heart palpitations, hallucinations and even paralysis, brain damage, or death. Sold in canisters, easy access appears to be growing throughout the US. There are no age restrictions on buying nitrous oxide which is available online and in gas stations across the country. US deaths linked to misuse of the common, legal inhalant climbed nearly sevenfold — 578% — between 2010 and 2023. In 2023, 156 Americans, many of them children, died from huffing nitrous oxide. Eighth-graders make up a large proportion of users.

Nitrous oxide is often inhaled with a balloon. (Photo: Matt Cardy / Getty Images News)

Many nitrous oxide products come in flavors that are especially enticing to children or teenagers, like berry or cotton candy and often come with flavored nozzles. The research focused on 14 years of US CDC data on nitrous oxide-related deaths. Fatalities were rare and relatively stable until about 2010, when there were 23 deaths nationwide. But after that point, death rates began to climb. The US FDA issued a warning earlier this year, listing 15 nitrous oxide products with names like Baking Bad, Cloud 9ine, Cosmic Gas, and Whip-It! Canada has seen incidents of nitrous oxide abuse rise and similarly issued a warning this year.

The corporations or business enterprises that manufacture and market nitrous oxide products know exactly what they are doing: practicing a form of vulture capitalism. These entities make profits from selling legal, dangerous chemicals to vulnerable youth simply for the sake of profit regardless of the health consequences. Americans are already paying for costly health insurance and exorbitant medical expenses and the Trumpf cuts to the social safety nets will further exacerbate the problems of the poor. The parents of young victims of nitrous oxide abuse will receive expensive medical bills and must hope their health insurance will cover them (if the victims survive).

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

CNN)

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.

Followers of the Watch, Coriolanus returns to the stage next week. Until then, please look after yourselves and enjoy this wonderful First Violinist:

UK Intelligence Services Expose and Sanction Russian Spy Ring

From left to right, top row: Nikolay Korchagin; Aleksey Lukashev; Aleksandr Osadchuk; and Artem Malyshev. Bottom row: Vladislav Borokov; Yevgeniy Serebriakov; Anatoliy Kovalev; and Ivan Yermakov.

A string of Russian spies and their units have been exposed by Britain’s security services over their years-long campaign of cyber hacking, arson, and sabotage.

Spies who targeted the daughter of the former double agent Sergei Skripal, five years before both were nearly killed in the Salisbury novichok incident, are among 18 Russian military intelligence officers who have been sanctioned.

Others have been unmasked for a “sustained campaign of malicious cyber activity”, covert bombings and arson attacks in Britain and Europe, in an effort to destabilise the West and try to derail support for Ukraine.

David Lammy, the foreign secretary, said: “GRU spies are running a campaign to destabilise Europe, undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and threaten the safety of British citizens.” He added that Russia had also targeted media outlets, telecommunications providers, energy infrastructure and political and democratic institutions.

This month three men were convicted over an arson attack on a Ukrainian-linked business in London, which police said was carried out at the behest of the Wagner mercenary group.

Other sanctioned individuals include Aleksandr Vladimirovich Osadchuk, a GRU colonel accused by the FBI of masterminding cyber-operations, including targeting the 2016 US presidential election.

Aleksey Lukashev (L) and Ivan Yermakov (R).

Russia will continue its vigorous espionage and sabotage campaign against the West in an effort to derail support for Ukraine during its desperate struggle to defeat them. While the Trumpf junta has naturally de-prioritized counterintelligence operations against the Kremlin, Canada, NATO, and EU intelligence agencies have increased their efforts. The UK is lucky to have an incredibly talented and experienced new Director-General of MI6, Blaise Florence Metreweli CMG and MI5 Director-General Sir Kenneth Douglas McCallum KCB, unlike the US national security team purposefully saddled by inexperienced nincompoops and sycophants Tulsi Gabbard, John Ratcliffe,

Colombia: Russian Spy Arrested

Colombian authorities have detained 21-year-old Jesús Ramos Santos, wanted by Lithuania on charges of espionage and alleged involvement in a terrorist plot linked to Russia’s war against Ukraine. He was arrested in the city of Barranquilla, the Colombian National Police confirmed.

Lithuanian prosecutors allege that Ramos Santos was spying on UAB TVC Solutions, a Lithuanian company involved in supplying drones to Ukraine as part of its defense against Russia’s full-scale invasion. He is also suspected of planning a terrorist act in the city of Šiauliai, where a key NATO air base is located.

The arrest operation took place on 6 July:

“This individual created a group whose aim was to carry out terrorist acts in Europe through arson and was engaged in espionage targeting a company supplying drones to Ukraine,” said Colombia’s National Police Director, Carlos Fernando Triana Beltrán.

He confirmed that Ramos Santos is subject to extradition.

Although initially reported as a Colombian citizen, investigative outlet Agentstvo revealed that Ramos Santos grew up in St. Petersburg and holds Russian citizenship. His mother confirmed that he had traveled to Lithuania in September 2024—the timeframe during which Lithuanian authorities believe he conducted espionage activities on behalf of Russian interests.

As noted previously on Coriolanus, Colombia’s security services are manned by a body of experienced professionals, having dealt with the FARC, ELN, and drug cartels. Colombian military veterans have joined Ukraine’s Foreign Legion, and sadly some of them have joined Mexico’s drug cartels. Russia’s espionage network is deeply entwined in Mexico and South America. Brazil was used as a ‘passport factory’ by Russian intelligence and their operatives have enjoyed a wide degree of latitude in Mexico which does not prioritize them as an espionage threat the way the US used to and the way Canada still does.

Spain Awards Wiretap Contract to Chinese Company Huawei

In 2021 the Canadian RCMP arrested Huawei Executive Meng Wanzhou on charges of fraud and circumnavigating sanctions on Iran. (Photo: CBS News)

The Spanish government is using Huawei to manage and store judicially authorized wiretaps in the country used by both law enforcement and intelligence services, despite concerns about how the Chinese government could compel Huawei to assist Beijing with its own intelligence activities.

The Ministry of the Interior officially awarded Huawei a €12.3 million ($14.3 million) contract following a standard public procurement process, as first reported by Spanish digital newspaper The Objective. Huawei had already been contracted to provide technical support to SITEL (Sistema Integrado de Interceptación Legal de las Telecomunicaciones), Spain’s integrated system for intercepting telecommunications.

While the contract for storing wiretaps requires Huawei to comply with cybersecurity guidelines set by the Spain’s National Cryptologic Center. There is “growing unrest” in the National Police and Guardia Civil over the Chinese company’s involvement with sensitive systems.

Concerns about Huawei have seen the company restricted from 5G networks across the EU, as well as varying levels of bans in networks of NATO allies such as the US and UK.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has been among the EU’s most supportive leaders regarding Huawei, and has pushed back against the bloc’s efforts to restrict it from 5G networks. Huawei has opened research facilities in Madrid and is a major employer as a technology contractor for a number of public administrations.

Natasha Buckley, a researcher at RUSI and lecturer in cybersecurity at Cranfield University, stated that Spain’s approach to the company stood in stark contrast to that of other NATO allies and many EU member states.

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (Huawei) and a number of non-US affiliates have been placed on the Entity List,  in order to further address the continuing threat to US national security and foreign policy interests posed by Huawei and its non-US affiliates.

This is a remarkably poor decision by the Spanish government. The Ministry of State Security (MSS) uses the ‘thousand grains of sand’ approach to collecting tiny bits of intelligence to construct a rich mosaic for decision-makers in Beijing. China has successfully welded their tremendous industrial capacity with their national security strategy.   There is a wide body of evidence incriminating Huawei as an extension of Chinese intelligence. Using hidden cookies and backdoor codes, the MSS can penetrate Western cyber-infrastructure to collect information as well as be able to shut down civilian or military electronic devices linked in by the “IOT” (AKA the “Internet of Things”).  

China has built a capable large army of cyber operators.

Donald Trumpf’s Sep 2025 UK Visit Timed So He Can’t Address Parliament

The blimp was an eye-catching part of the protests against Trumpf’s state visit in 2019. (Getty Images)

In mid-September, US President Donald Trumpf will be visiting the UK and meeting with British officials. But one thing he won’t be doing on his trip is addressing Parliament.

“The date of the US president’s trip is being deliberately timed for mid-September when there is a parliamentary recess, handing the UK an excuse for not offering the speech. Mr. Trumpf is also expected not to visit Buckingham Palace or enjoy a ceremonial carriage ride down the Mall in London — features of many past state visits from world leaders.”

Earlier this year, Trumpf met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer during his visit to the US. The Labor government under Starmer have concerns that Labor MPs could protest a joint address to Parliament, possibly by staying away en masse, causing potential embarrassment to Mr. Trumpf.

“It means the US president will not achieve something enjoyed by his predecessors Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama,” the Telegraph reporters note. “The lack of an address to Parliament risks a backlash from Mr. Trumpf, who British officials privately acknowledge is sensitive to perceived slights.”

French President Emmanuel Macron, they observe, addressed the UK Parliament when he was in London in early July.

“British officials involved in the state visit planning are keenly aware of the US president’s desire to beat his presidential predecessors in the scale and opulence of the events,” according to Riley-Smith and Furness. “There are discussions about how to outdo his first state visit in 2019.”

The reporters add, “Mr. Trumpf will become the first elected leader in modern times to enjoy two UK state visits — a fact he has been sharing privately with friends.”

President John F. Kennedy, a World War Two veteran, wanted to link America’s space race with the growing civil rights movement. To that end, President Kennedy instructed NASA to recruit and train qualified pilots from the minority community to become astronauts. African-American pilots had served with great distinction in the Second World War. During the Second World War, the Tuskegee Airmen purposefully painted the tails of their fighter aircraft red to show the Nazis who they were and they were unafraid. African-American pilots also served their country valiantly during the Korean War, like this aviator below.

This Man Should Have Been America’s First Black Astronaut

In 1961, at the direction of President John F. Kennedy, USAF Captain Ed Dwight, Junior became the first African-American to enter the USAF training program from which NASA selected astronauts. Although he completed training at the Aerospace Research Pilot School in 1963 and advanced to the second round of the program, he was controversially not selected for the Astronaut Corps.

The man responsible for Captain Dwight’s disqualification was none other than USAF Chuck Yeager, the man who first broke the sound barrier on 14 Oct 1947. A racist from West Virginia, General Yeager covertly countermanded JFK’s desire to see black astronauts in the space program, particularly Captain Ed Dwight.

“Yeager instructed staff and participants at the school that “Washington is trying to cram the nigger down our throats. [President] Kennedy is using this to make ‘racial equality,’ so do not speak to him, do not socialize with him, do not drink with him, do not invite him over to your house, and in six months he’ll be gone.” In his autobiography, Dwight details how Yeager’s leadership led to discriminatory treatment throughout his training at Edwards Air Force Base.”

Despite racist Chuck Yeager, USAF Captain Ed Dwight made it into space at age 90 on a Blue Origin private space launch last year.

Just One More Thing…

In April 1961, President John F. Kennedy had energized America’s space program by pledging to send “a man to the moon and [return] him safely to the Earth” before the end of the 1960s and he wanted to merge that with the civil rights movement as you just read. Safely returning an astronaut from the moon was the more difficult part of the equation as there are no rockets or launchpads on the moon.

To ensure the US would send a man to the Moon before the USSR, NASA established the Pilgrim Program. This was a one-way mission for one or two astronauts selected for this perilous journey. NASA was to pre-launch containers filled with oxygen tanks, water, food, and supplies ahead of the astronauts for them to survive on the Moon until NASA would be able to recover them at a future date. In this way, America would beat Russia to the Moon.

Sex Trafficker Jeffrey Epstein FBI Files “Ticking Time Bomb” for President Donald J. Trump

Ghislaine Maxwell (63), the British socialite serving a 20-year sentence for child sex-trafficking, is prepared to testify before the US Congress about the so-called “Epstein Files,” including an alleged list of clients and associates of the late financier and sexual deviant Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein died in 2019 under mysterious circumstances while in federal custody awaiting trial. This sex trafficker is the only person convicted in this imbroglio, despite the fact that sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein allegedly controlled a web of underage girls for decades. Epstein’s victims alleged they were groomed by Ghislaine Maxwell and then passed around as sex toys to his oligarch friends and billionaire business associates who regularly visited his homes and private island in the US Virgin Islands, Little Saint James. Jeffrey Epstein’s jet was dubbed the “Lolita Express.” Link: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60856925

Predictably, pushback against having Ghislaine Maxwell testify before Congress was hard from Republican lawmakers. President Donald Trumpf becomes irate when asked about Jeffrey Epstein and he desperately implored his key communicators to stop discussing the Epstein files in the media and the internet.

The Justice Department stated that no-one else is likely to be prosecuted in relation to the Epstein case, including Britain’s Prince Andrew who was accused by Virginia Giuffre, of allegedly sleeping with her when she was 17 and underage. Prince Andrew has consistently and vehemently denied all charges against him and settled a civil lawsuit with Ms Giuffre with no admission of wrongdoing. Ms Giuffre (41) committed suicide earlier this year.

How Did We Get Here?

Jeffrey Epstein’s Second Arrest

On 6 July 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on sex trafficking charges. He was jailed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in NYC. A dozen FBI agents forced open the door to his Manhattan townhouse, the Herbert N. Straus House, with search warrants. The search of his townhouse turned up evidence of sex trafficking and also found “hundreds” and perhaps thousands” of sexually suggestive photographs of fully “or partially nude females”.

Some of the photos were confirmed as those of underage females. In a locked safe, compact discs were found with handwritten labels including the descriptions: “Young [Name] + [Name]”, “Misc nudes 1”, and “Girl pics nude”.

Epstein requested to be released on bond, offering to post $100 million with the condition that he would also submit to house arrest in his NYC mansion. US District Judge Richard M. Berman denied the request on 18 July, saying that Epstein posed a danger to the public and a serious flight risk to avoid prosecution.

On 29 Aug 2019, nineteen days after Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, the case against Epstein was closed by Judge Berman. Prosecutors stated they would continue an investigation for potential co-conspirators.

Public Demands to Release the FBI Epstein Files

Senator Blackburn requested something similar from the IRS regarding Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s business dealings: 

www.blackburn.senate.gov

When the Epstein files were not released, the Trumpf junta released two distractions from the CIA and the National Archives. You read about the USSR UFO encounter here on Coriolanus, a ‘nothing burger’ story and then a few weeks ago more JFK assassination files were released. When these distractions died out, in fits and starts and using dissembling language, US Attorney-General Pam Bondi affirmed that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide and she released a video recording of Jeffrey Epstein’s jail cell in MCC in this unsigned letter from the Justice Department and FBI:

https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1407001/dl?inline

In the letter, USAG Bondi assures the public that there is “no incriminating client list.”

Well of course there would not be a made-to-order incriminating client list in the files; such a list would have to be compiled by the FBI linking the names and images of suspects with victims, phone records, flight logs, witnesses, wiretaps, telephone pen registers, and financial records. Names would be triaged as suspects or innocent people caught up in this dragnet.

Moreover, technical analysts pointed out that that there are nearly three minutes missing from the surveillance video of Jeffrey Epstein’s cell.

Link: The FBI’s Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out | WIRED

Moreover, a mafioso who was incarcerated in that very same cell claimed that ‘there’s just no way Epstein was able to kill himself; it would be almost impossible.’

Link: https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/man-who-served-time-in-same-cell-as-epstein-says-theres-just-no-way-he-was-able-to-kill-himself-it-would-be-almost-impossible/

Note: Coriolanus has been to both Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan and the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, albeit the client visiting rooms. Your author can attest that federal incarceration facilities are secure with surveillance cameras monitoring all the nooks and crannies of the prisons.

Charges were dropped against the two Bureau of Prisons (BOP) correctional officers, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, who were on duty the night of 10 Aug 2019 when Jeffrey Epstein allegedly killed himself from his cell. Noel and Thomas were accused of falling asleep and surfing the internet that night rather than checking on Epstein every 30 minutes. Both admitted to having “willfully and knowingly” falsified records to make it seem they were monitoring Epstein properly.

Official NYC Medical Examiner Findings in Question

Dr. Michael Baden, who was in the room for Epstein’s autopsy and has been called as an expert witness in high-profile cases, said that injuries found on Epstein’s body, including fractures to his larynx and hyoid bone, were “extremely unusual in suicidal hangings” and more consistent with “homicidal strangulation.” Baden’s comments suggest Epstein’s family might contest the autopsy results in future legal proceedings. Dr. Baden also noted that the NYC Medical Examiner who conducted the autopsy on the dead sex offender’s body did not personally sign off on the ultimate finding that Epstein killed himself.

The Role of the Intelligence Agencies in this Cauldron of Vile

The FBI has an extensive dossier on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as Donald Trump following the several Russiagate investigations. Special Counsels Robert Mueller and Jack Smith and their investigative teams have a mountain of derogatory information about Donald Trump housed in their craniums, and Trump’s name certainly appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files. But what about the other intelligence agencies or law-enforcement bodies worldwide?

Allegations and rumors have circulated for decades that Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, the late disgraced oligarch Robert Maxwell, was a Mossad asset. He reportedly gathered derogatory information on people to be used as leverage against them, blackmailing them to assist the Mossad. Moreover, British intelligence officers suspected that Robert Maxwell was a Soviet agent, according to Foreign Office papers which have been released.

After the former Mirror newspapers chief and ex-Labor MP died mysteriously at sea on 5 Nov 1991, there was widespread speculation that he might have been a double or even a triple agent, but the FBI apparently found nothing in a decade of monitoring him, despite his known links with MI6, the KGB, and the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.

Robert Maxwell’s file, titled “Captain Ian Maxwell”, at the National Archives in Kew, London, has been found to contain reports submitted to the Information Research Department (IRD), a covert unit of the Foreign Office, describing him as “a thoroughly bad character and almost certainly financed by Russia.”

If true, this is how Ghislaine Maxwell learned her tradecraft with Jeffrey Epstein and would explain their fabulous fortunes. The two amassed a library of video tapes of hundreds of wealthy males in lurid sex acts with underaged girls.

FO suspected Maxwell was a Russian agent, papers reveal

There is no doubt that the FBI, the Kremlin, and the Mossad all have damaging information on Donald Trump. Ironically, for years Trump’s foes kept looking and digging for a Russia connection, which there is, but completely overlooked the possibility of an Israeli hold on Trump via the Mossad, thanks to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. That might explain a lot of Trump’s deferential behavior towards Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu, including sanctioning the ICC because this august body indicted these two alleged war criminals.

Will this project finally take shape for Donald Trump?

Whither Ghislaine Maxwell?

Ex-socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, the only person convicted in this global muti-decade sex trafficking enterprise, is scheduled for release on 17 July 2037 at the age of 76. Perhaps Ms. Maxwell is seeking a pardon from President Trump in exchange for perjuring herself in front of Congress, thereby exonerating him.

USAG Pam Bondi is certainly protecting Donald Trump as well as hundreds of wealthy people– the so-called ‘Deep State’– by not cleanly releasing the Epstein files. This has angered the conspiracy-minded Republican base who wanted to see hated Bill Clinton and other liberals get exposed. For their own sake, the Deep State superrich would like to see the Ghislaine Maxwell problem ‘go away’ PDQ.

Ms. Maxwell most likely took the precaution of creating a ‘dead man’s switch,’ meaning her attorneys or few friends will release damaging information to the media or the FBI to avoid a suicide like Jeffrey Epstein or an untimely “accident.”

Endnote: President Trump will be meeting King Charles in the UK this coming September. Coriolanus wonders what the two immensely wealthy men won’t be discussing.

The Irony of the US Police: Nearly 50% of Murderers Get Away With it

In the US, people are getting away with murder. The clearance rate, the share of cases that result in an arrest or are otherwise solved, was 58% in 2023, the latest year for which FBI data is available. And that figure is inflated because it includes murders from previous years that police solved in 2023.

In other words, a murderer’s chance of getting caught within a year essentially comes down to a coin flip. For other crimes, clearance rates are even lower. Only 8% of car thefts result in an arrest.

Compared with its peers, America overall does an unusually poor job of solving killings. The murder clearance rates of other rich nations, including Australia, Britain and Germany, hover in the 70s, 80s and even 90s. Several issues, including a lack of resources, the sheer volume of cases and a distrust of the police, have converged to make the jobs of American detectives much more difficult. “It’s a serious problem,” said Philip Cook, a criminal justice researcher at Duke University. The lack of legal accountability emboldens criminals, leading to more crime and violence resulting in “a vicious cycle.”

Every eleven minutes someone in the US is murdered with a firearm. In 2022, the CDC reported that 48,000 people in the US were killed with a firearm, a wartime casualty figure without a foreign invader.

The Irony of the Police State

One blogger wrote the ICE annual budget is approximately $28 billion. Many countries have smaller budgets. ICE’s budget is now bigger than these American states:

Delaware: $6.07 billion

Idaho: $5.26 billion

Maine: $7.84 billion (annualized for a two-year budget cycle)

Montana: $4.68 billion (annualized for a two-year budget cycle)

New Hampshire: $5.20 billion

Rhode Island: $7.29 billion

South Dakota: $4.06 billion

Vermont: $5.23 billion

Wyoming: $4.45 billion (annualized for a two-year budget cycle)

American police are the direct descendants of the Slave Patrol, more akin to political control and law-enforcement rather than genuine sleuthing or crime solving. Add the tsunami of firearms flooding the country, economic inequalities, a suspicious population wary of cooperating with the police, and Americans suffer a high rate of unsolved homicides. There are just not enough seasoned investigators to catch the perpetrators.

US Health and Safety Update

The US is the only industrialized Western country in the world that does not offer universal healthcare coverage for its residents, unlike Germany, Israel, the UK, Canada, Australia, or France. The term ‘medical bankruptcy’ is unknown in those countries. And Donald Trump is making it harder for Americans to say healthy.

Trump Program Cuts Worsening Life for Americans

PBS reports:

“Americans are losing a vast array of people and programs dedicated to keeping them healthy. Gone are specialists who were confronting a measles outbreak in Ohio, workers who drove a van to schools in North Carolina to offer vaccinations and a program that provided free tests to sick people in Tennessee.

State and local health departments responsible for invisible but critical work such as inspecting restaurants, monitoring wastewater for new and harmful germs, responding to outbreaks before they get too big — and a host of other tasks to protect both individuals and communities — are being hollowed out.

The Trump junta is cutting health spending on an unprecedented scale, including pulling $11 billion of direct federal support because the pandemic is over and eliminating 20,000 jobs at national health agencies that in part assist and support local public health work. It’s proposing billions more be slashed.”

To pay for unneeded tax cuts for the oligarchs, the 2025 Republican budget guts the few social safety nets many Americans depend on, like Medicaid or SNAP. These draconian cuts will be felt by the masses after the 2026 midterm elections, giving the GOP a chance at the polls in Nov 2026.

In 2025, the Trumpf junta has gutted weather surveillance and medical research, and placed quacks, mountebanks, and charlatans in charge of America’s food safety and health organizations, like antivax advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and Dr. Mehmet Oz to administer the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Dr. Oz owns $33 million in heath insurance companies doing business with the agency he is running.

Flesh-Eating Bacteria Kills Four in Florida

This twelve-year-old girl contracted necrotizing fasciitis while on vacation in 2019.

Four people are dead, and more than half a dozen are sick, after contracting a rare “flesh-eating bacteria” in Florida this year, state health officials confirmed.

The Vibrio vulnificus bacteria, found in saltwater, brackish water and inside raw or undercooked seafood, led to deaths in Bay, Broward, Hillsborough, and St. Johns counties, according to the Florida Department of Health (FDOH).

So far in 2025, 11 people contracted Vibrio vulnificus across Florida, with four dying and seven becoming ill, the FDOH reported. The FDOH did not specify the source of the new cases or say where the ill contracted the bacteria.

Vibrio vulnificus is a naturally occurring bacterium that lives in warm, brackish seawater. It’s created when fresh water from a river or lake meets seawater, and people contract Vibrio vulnificus by swallowing water with it or getting it in a wound.

Republican Governor Ron DeSantis prioritizes state funds on law-enforcement and election security, not the environment, like keeping Florida’s waters clean. The Trump budget cuts do not help Floridians either.

Pneumonic Plague Kills Arizona Victim

Pneumonic plague attacks the lungs, quickly killing victims,

A Northern Arizona patient died after becoming infected with a severe form of plague. The Arizona Department of Health Services has conducted rapid diagnostic testing and issued a “presumptive diagnosis of Yersinia pestis the bacteria that causes the plague” NAH said in a statement.

Plague is the same illness that killed millions of people in Europe during the Middle Ages. Today, it is rare but can crop up mostly in rural parts of the western US and certain parts of Africa and Asia, according to the US CDC. The Arizona resident died from pneumonic plague, a severe lung infection.

Yersinia pestis is a bacterium that causes a potentially life-threatening disease called plague. Plague is spread among wild rodents and other animals. Doctors can cure human patients of the disease with antibiotics, but it must be treated promptly. Humans usually contract plague from being bitten by an infected flea or by touching an infected animal.

Measles and COVID Spreading in America

As you read previously on Coriolanus, measles is spreading in Mexico because indigenous and religious communities near the Texas border believe in Robert F. Kennedy’s antivax rhetoric. The Trumpf junta announced that annual COVID-19 shots for healthy younger adults and children will no longer be routinely approved. As of 8 July 2025, the CDC estimates that COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in 25 states, declining or likely declining in 0 states, and not changing in 21 states.

Couple Adopts Two Orphaned Kittens

Canada: RCMP Neutralizes Terrorist Threat in Quebec

This cell was recruiting members via Instagram.

The Canadian RCMP arrested and charged four people, including active military members, who were “planning to create an anti-government militia” and to “forcibly take possession of land” in the province of Quebec. This marks the largest weapons cache ever seized as part of a terrorism investigation in Canada. The four lunatics are Marc-Aurle Chabot (24), Simon Angers-Audet (24), Raphal Lagac (25), and Matthew Forbes (33). Three of them are accused of planning to create an anti-government militia. This cell conducted military-style training: shooting, ambush, survival, and land navigation exercises. The three also conducted a “scouting operation” of an undisclosed target. Matthew Forbes was charged with possession of firearms, prohibited devices, and explosives. The four maniacs have not yet entered pleas.

Canada is Not Immune from Terrorism

Canada is not immune from ideological violence or terrorism. From the 1963 to 1970, Quebec separatists launched a terrorism campaign seeking independence from Anglo-dominant Canada. The Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ) was involved in over 160 violent incidents, killing eight people and injuring hundreds. In 1985, Sikh separatists detonated a bomb on Air India Flight 182 departing Toronto killing 329 passengers. In 2014 after Conservative PM Stephen Harper joined the US in supporting attacks against ISIS targets in the Middle East, a lone actor counterattacked the Canadian Parliament, killing one and wounding three. Security forces rendered the perpetrator ineffective.

Note that three of the suspects in this instant offense have French names, one has an Anglo name. When it comes to ideological or racist extremism, the Anglo-French divide in Canada seems to blur.

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

The Film ICC-Indicted War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu Doesn’t Want You to See

Over the past 48 hours, the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) slaughtered 300 Palestinians in 26 separate massacres. Since 7 Oct 2023, Israel has waged a military onslaught, AKA ‘Nakba,’ on the Gaza Strip, killing 57,680 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and wounding or maiming 137,409 others. Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip. There are more child amputees in Gaza than anywhere else in the world.

American Complicity

Ordnance experts identified the fragments as parts of an MK-82 general purpose bomb. (Photo: Enas Tantesh / The Guardian)

The IDF used a 500lb (230kg) bomb, a powerful and indiscriminate US-made weapon that generates a massive blast wave and scatters shrapnel over a wide area, when it attacked a target in a crowded beachfront cafe in Gaza. Between 24 and 36 Palestinians were killed in the attack on the cafe and dozens more were injured. The dead included a well-known film-maker and an artist. Experts in international law said the use of such a munition despite the known presence of many unprotected civilians, including children, women and elderly people, was almost certainly unlawful and may constitute a war crime. Fragments of the weapon from the ruins of al-Baqa cafe have been identified by ordnance experts as parts of an MK-82 general purpose 230kg bomb, a powerful US-made bomb.

An IDF spokesperson said the attack on the cafe was under review and that “prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians using aerial surveillance.”

The Censored Film

This documentary you are about to watch is what Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu, the Likud junta, and AIPAC doesn’t want you to see: the specific targeting of Palestinian medical personnel, another war crime committed by the IDF. When there are no medical personnel to treat the wounded, those casualties die. This tactic is called ‘NHI’ (‘No Humans Involved’). This film was made by the award-winning British filmmaker Mehdi Hasan and is quite graphic. Followers of the Watch are hereby advised.

Ludicrous Nobel Peace Prize Nomination for Donald Trump

Followers of the Watch: Coriolanus does not like wasting your time or your brain cells writing about Dummkopf Trumpf, but at times your author is forced to. The odious Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, visited the White House for the third time this year. Unwanted on 99% of the planet, this pariah is only welcome in AIPAC-influenced America. This time the ‘Crime Minister’ of Israel ridiculously nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize to gratify the madman occupying the White House. A pundit wrote this is akin to nominating the late notorious O.J. Simpson for ‘Husband of the Year.’ In turn, Dotard Trumpf sanctioned more international civil servants of the UN and ICC for their legitimate pursuit of arch-war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.

US Terrorism: Rightwing White Militia Sabotaging ‘Weather Weapons’

Authorities are looking for this white maniac who sabotaged a weather facility.

Michael Meyer (AKA Lewis Arthur), the founder of the anti-government extremist group Veterans on Patrol, posted a warning on his Telegram channel. “Due to the recent weather weapon deployed against Texas, which resulted in a high number of child murders, efforts to eliminate this military treason are being escalated.”

Hours later, a maniac broke into an enclosure containing the NextGen Live Radar system operated by News 9 in Oklahoma City, damaging its power supply and briefly knocking it offline. The man also damaged CCTV cameras monitoring the site, but footage shared by News 9 shows the cameras captured a clear image of his face before they were destroyed.

No arrests have been made but that authorities are aware of the extremist Veterans on Patrol group.  The attack was part of their Operation Lone Wolf and there are dozens of useful white idiots willing to carry out similar attacks of wanton sabotage against weather surveillance facilities and systems.

Veterans on Patrol is a white xenophobic militia that began in Pima, Arizona, to bully, intimidate, and capture vulnerable immigrants crossing the border into the US. Supposedly they have 70,000 members or followers on social media. After the preventable deaths from the cataclysmic floods that killed over 100 children in Texas, conspiracy theories about “weather control weapons” have flooded the internet. One proponent of this lunacy is House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, who wants to enact legislation banning ‘weather manipulation,’ making it a felony:

Americans should expect more such attacks from these lunatics, as well as more weather-related casualties and damage because the Trumpf junta slashed the workforce and budgets of the NWS and NOAA.

Russia Using Unwitting Suicide Bombers Against Ukraine

Two detained suspects. These saboteurs were knowing participants in an IED operation. (Photo: Ukrainian SBU)

A growing number of young Ukrainians have been unknowingly recruited by Russian forces as unwilling suicide bombers as the Ukraine-Russia War drags on in its third year. Russian spies have been recruiting Ukrainians, mainly teenagers, to bomb police stations, post offices, or military targets under the guise of odd jobs postings on Telegram as part of an ongoing shadow war.  

For example, 19-year-old Oleh was offered $1,000 to video himself vandalizing a police station in western Ukraine with provided materials. He collected a rucksack from a given exchange point with what he thought was a canister of spray paint. When he opened the bag, he found a crude bomb with a cell phone attached to it as a crude remote detonation system.

Oleh’s experience is part of a trend that has seriously injured or killed over a dozen people. Ukraine’s SBU security agency said that this sabotage campaign began in the Spring of 2024. The attacks appear to target areas in western Ukraine, far beyond the frontlines in the east of the country. 

In the earlier part of the campaign, teens were lured by “curators” who used a mix of blackmail and enticement to carry out arson attacks on Ukrainian civil and military infrastructure. This effectively allowed the Kremlin to target deep into western Ukraine without being physically present. 

Using unwitting dupes for kamikaze or sabotage attacks is not a new tactic. Other terrorist groups such as the PKK or ISIS have tricked underlings to deliver a package unknowing that it contained a remote controlled explosive device. The Ukrainian counterintelligence service is top-notch and constantly improving, as you have previously read here on Coriolanus.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Purging USIC Employees Disloyal to Trumpf and MAGA Agenda

The vastly underwhelming vapid lapdog DNI Tulsi Gabbard. (Undated photo from the public domain).

Per the ODNI: “Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard established a new task force charged with restoring transparency and accountability to the USIC. The Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG) is executing President Trump’s EOs aimed at rebuilding trust in the USIC, starting with investigating weaponization, rooting out deep-seeded politicization, exposing unauthorized disclosures of classified intelligence, and declassifying information that serves a public interest. Per POTUS’s directive, DNI Gabbard has taken steps to restore trust in the USIC by revoking security clearances for individuals who no longer have an active role in national security, including former President Joe Biden, Liz Cheney, and Hillary Clinton. Further, the DNI has already held employees who participated in sexually-explicit NSA chatrooms accountable, and has begun pursuing unauthorized leaks of classified information within the USIC. DNI Gabbard will also be reviewing documents for potential declassification including: COVID-19 origins, Crossfire Hurricane, Anomalous Health Incidents (AHI), and the Biden Administration’s alleged domestic surveillance and censorship actions against Americans.”

Tulsi Gabbard is the most under-qualified individual to ever lead an intelligence organization of any nation on the planet. The member of a homophobic, Islamophobic Hare Krishna off-shoot sect, lickspittle Gabbard was appointed by Dummkopf Trumpf for her good looks and loyalty. The ‘DIG’ is all designed to root out Democrats, liberals, progressives, and non-Zionists (AKA ‘undesirables’) from the USIC. Snagged in the dragnet will be Russia and Middle East experts vital to penetrate hostile intelligence services (HOIS) or terrorist groups. Stalin’s purges of the 1930s eliminated competent, experienced national security personnel which cost the Russian people dearly in the Winter War against Finland and later when the USSR was caught off guard by Hitler’s surprise attack (Operation Barbarossa). Coriolanus is glad to have retired years ago because your humble narrator would have been on the top of Gabbard and Trumpf’s hideous ‘Enemies List.’

Sidenote on Tulsi Gabbard Colleague USSECSTATE/National Security Advisor Marco Rubio

USSECSTATE Marco Rubio is basically a lickspittle and an empty suit without vision, character, moral compass, or sense of decency. (Undated photo from the public domain).

Sidenote: Hackers have been successfully impersonating the voice and emails of Marco Rubio, the most underqualified individual to ever lead the US Department of State. Rubio recently dismantled the JFK-created USAID which analysts contend will kill millions of people in the developing world over the next several years. Someone using artificial intelligence (AI) to impersonate Rubio contacted at least five people, including three foreign ministers, a US governor, and a member of Congress, “with the goal of gaining access to information or accounts,” a US diplomatic cable said. The unknown actor posing as Rubio created an account in mid-June on the messaging platform Signal, using the display name “marco.rubio@state.gov.”

To Followers of the Watch, none of this should come as a surprise. The members of the Trumpf junta have demonstrated their incompetence, terrible Operational Security (OPSEC), and poor judgment since they took power on 20 Jan 2025. The damage the junta is wreaking on US national security, government operations, and the economy will take decades to mend. In the meantime, the Kremlin, Beijing, Jerusalem, and Pyongyang benefit from America’s follies.

UK: Pink Floyd Legend Roger Waters Risks Imprisonment for People of Palestine

Roger Waters has voiced his support for Palestine Action, risking prosecution and a potential 14-year prison term, since the organization is now proscribed as a terrorist group in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000. As of 5 July, membership of Palestine Action, or expressing public support for the group, is a criminal offence in Britain. On 5 July, police in London arrested 29 people in Parliament Square for holding placards stating, “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” In a video post on 5 July, former Pink Floyd legend Waters says, “For the record, I support Palestine Action,” calling them “a great organization” and stating the “non-violent” group are “absolutely not terrorists in any way.” Waters then displays a piece of cardboard: ‘ROGER WATERS SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION’ and “Parliament has been corrupted by agents of a genocidal foreign power! STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. IT’S NOW!!!” The cardboard is dated “5th July 2025.”

The UN had specifically urged the UK not to misuse terrorism laws against the group Palestine Action. But as Roger Waters points out, the UK Parliament seems to have been corrupted by their version of AIPAC. Recall that after nearly three decades, Pink Floyd had re-united to play a special concert to support the people of Ukraine after Russia’s brutal invasion. Now, in Spartacus-like fashion, Roger Waters is boldly standing up for the people of Palestine after Israel’s brutal invasion of Gaza. Roger Waters is also defying his own government, risking his very liberty. Pro-Israeli supporters have ridiculously tried to smear and slander the rock legend as a “Jew hater” and antisemite; all of those attempts and ad hominem attacks failed miserably.

Amongst the 29 Samaritans arrested is the Reverend Sue Parfitt, an 83-year-old retired Anglican priest for displaying a sign reading, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” Your humble author wonders when the Bobbies will come for Roger Waters (first they’ll have him sign some autographs for them). The Reverend Parfitt is what a “dangerous Jew-hater” or terrorism supporter looks like. Hmph.

Russian Orthodox Church (ROCOR) Publicly Exposed as Arm of Russian Intelligence

The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), under the leadership of the Moscow Patriarchate, has evolved into a central instrument of Russian state influence, operating well beyond its religious mandate to advance Kremlin interests abroad. Across Europe and the US, the ROC is recognized for its role in disseminating pro-Kremlin narratives, conducting espionage, and recruiting intelligence assets. No longer limited to pastoral duties or cultural preservation, the Church now operates as a transnational ideological actor whose activities align closely with Russian foreign policy goals. Their global network has a headquarters in NYC and they have been expanding across parts of the US mainly as a result of people converting from other faiths. Young American males have been joining Russian churches promising ‘absurd levels of manliness.’ In the links at bottom, you can see the large number of ROCOR parishes spreading in the US.

The late Pope Francis had advised Patriarch Kirill not to be ‘Putin’s altar boy.’

UFC Fighting and Machismo Are Part of the Russian PSYOP Scheme for Young Americans

Before the Trumpf junta took power, the USIC was monitoring the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) for the very reasons cited in this OSINT analysis and why Ukraine has been purging itself of nefandous clergymen. Vladimir Putin has already aligned the Republican Party and is now targeting macho young men as part of his influence campaign over the US, aided and abetted by Dotard Trumpf. This is in tandem with the promotion of uber-macho UFC activity by the Trumpf junta. These gladiatorial spectacles are designed to distract Americans from real issues affecting them like the ancient Roman ‘Bread and circuses’ while at the same time promoting anti-LGBTQ themes and pro-macho ideologies, like in Russia and Chechnya.

D/FBI Kashyap Pramod “Kash” Patel wants FBI SAs to undergo routine UFC training, but FBI Defensive Tactics (DT) is an excellent system. Your humble author completed an FBI DT Course last century and can attest to that. This will waste precious investigative time for FBI Special Agents who already undergo monthly and annual refresher hand-to-hand combat training and firearms qualifications.

Nota Bene: On 12 June 2025 USSECSTATE Marco Rubio issued a congratulatory note on Russia National Day.

An international arrest warrant for war crimes remains active for Vladimir Putin. An indictment is merely an allegation. Mr. Putin is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Death Sentence: DHS to Deport Hondurans and Nicaraguans

Yes, the entire world believes you. Uh-huh.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Nicaragua and Honduras. The termination will be effective 60 days after the publication of the Federal Register notice. Nicaraguan and Honduran nationals departing the US are encouraged to use the US Customs and Border Protection CBP Home app to report their departure from the US and take advantage of a safe, secure way to self-deport which includes a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and potential future opportunities for legal immigration.

The cruelty of the Trumpf junta and their desire to bleach the country of non-whites has no limit.

Some migrants have been deported to countries which have no connection to them, like several detainees were cruelly sent to South Sudan recently. The corrupted Republican Party-majority Supreme Court has allowed this to happen.

US/Canada: Costco Initiates Massive Product Recall for Safety and Health Issues

Costco is recalling nearly a dozen products and urging shoppers to immediately stop using some items purchased either through Costco Next or directly in stores. The recall includes several electronics with potential safety hazards. Anker Power Bank and PowerCore models have been flagged due to issues with their lithium batteries. The Danby 8-K U-shaped window air conditioner should be immediately stopped use because of water collection problems that can lead to mold growth. These units were sold under various brands including Midea, Comfort Aire, Danby, and Frigidaire. Other recalled items include car tires, dumbbells, Topo Chico mineral water, and Fresh and Ready Foods prepared sandwiches and salads. The mineral water may be contaminated with pseudomonas and the prepared meals may be tainted with listeria. The SharkNinja pressure cooker lid comes off and can burn consumers.

UK: Ozzy Osbourne Sings Final Concert with Black Sabbath in Birmingham

Ozzy Osbourne (76) sang his final concert with his legendary heavy-metal band, Black Sabbath, in Birmingham, England on Saturday.  The ten-hour farewell show at Villa Park, titled Back to the Beginning, featured appearances by Mastodon, Metallica, Rival Sons, Anthrax, Guns n’Roses, and Jack Black, leading up to Osbourne’s headlining set.

“You have no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Osbourne told the crowd of 40,000 fans.

Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones, Steven Tyler from Aerosmith and Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine also took the stage during the show.

This marked the first time in 20 years that Osbourne performed with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward.

Formed in 1968, the rock group has sold more than 100 million albums. The musicians were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Osbourne is retiring from performing live because he is suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

The next song by Ozzy Osbourne as a solo artist is a hard-driving entreaty for world peace during the Cold War and healing psychological wounds from fear, conflict, anxiety, and PTSD.

“The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov’d with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.”

The Merchant of Venice, Act V, Scene I

JAMA: Parkinson Disease and Proximity to Golf Courses

Researchers asked whether living within proximity to a golf course affect the risk of Parkinson disease (PD). A case-control study found the greatest risk of PD within one to three miles of a golf course, and that this risk generally decreased with distance. Effect sizes were largest in water service areas with a golf course in vulnerable groundwater regions. These findings suggest that pesticides applied to golf courses may play a role in the incidence PD for nearby residents.

Pesticide risk assessment has traditionally been studied in agricultural systems, though few studies have attempted to quantify pesticide risk on golf courses. About 150 agricultural pesticides that the World Health Organization (WHO) considers “hazardous” were used in the US in 2017, according to a review of US Geological Survey data.

From the NIH: Pesticides are known neurotoxins. Evidence suggests that lifelong cumulative exposure to pesticides may generate lasting toxic effects on the central nervous system and may also contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A number of reports indicate a potential association between long-term/low-dose pesticide exposure and AD, but the results are inconsistent.

This may help explain some things about Donald Trumpf’s (79) rapidly declining cognitive skills. In addition to a lifetime of golfing, Trumpf spent 22.15% of his presidency on the links while the world economy crashed, children drowned in the Texas floods, and innocent people were killed in the Middle East.

Cats Love to See What’s Going On

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.

Arrest Warrant: https://www.icc-cpi.int/defendant/netanyahu

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:

Members of the dangerous MAGA cult of Christian white supremacists are acting more brazenly and boldly against liberals, atheists, Democrats, pro-Palestinian volunteers, antiwar Samaritans, and minorities, all inspired by their spiritual leader, Dotard Trumpf.

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. This gentleman and scholar also sang bass-baritone with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra (OSM) when it was led by Maestro Kent Nagano years ago. Incredibly, Vic was fortunate to have met and shaken hands with President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and baseball legend Jackie Robinson, and is never without an anecdote or history lesson about the US Civil Rights movement or the Cold War.

“Thanks Josee and Vic! Arf!”

Mike has now acclimated to his wonderful new forever home. Our thanks to Samaritans Vic and Josee for quick thinking, speed of plan, and opening their wallets and hearts to Mike.  

86 Palestinians Killed in the Living Hell of Gaza as Israel Prepares to Invade

Note one of the mourners is missing an eye. (Photo: Palestinian Health Authority)

At least 91 Palestinians were killed and 284 others were wounded over the past 24 hours as the IDF prepares for a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian death toll since Oct 2023 is now 54,381; 124,381 people are injured or maimed. The majority of the victims are women and children. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the IDF operation will lead to a complete takeover of the territory: “We are finally going to conquer the Gaza Strip.”

In March 2025, the American taxpayer expedited delivery of four billion dollars in military assistance to Israel.

We Are Going to Build a Jewish State in the West Bank”

With those statements, Katz had a clear message for French President Emmanuel Macron “and his friends”: “They will recognize a Palestinian state on paper, and we will build the Jewish Israeli state on the ground here,” the defense minister said during his visit. “The paper will disappear into the trash of history and Israel will flourish and flourish.”

Earlier, Macron called the recognition of the Palestinian state “not only a moral duty, but a political necessity.” He also urged a tougher line from European countries against Israel if it does not respond to the disastrous humanitarian situation caused by the war in the Gaza Strip in the coming hours and days.

In 2025, the death toll of Palestinians at the hands of Israeli forces and maniacal Settlers in the West Bank has reached 99, with 60% of these fatalities occurring in just four areas, including Jenin and the Nur Shams refugee camps. The Israeli cabinet just approved establishing 22 new Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, which marks the largest expansion of settlements in decades.

IDF Soldier Use of Human Shields Widespread

The boy shook constantly, he said, and both repeated “Rafah, Rafah” — Gaza’s southernmost city, where more than one million Palestinians had fled from fighting elsewhere at that point in the war. It seemed they were begging to be freed, the sergeant said.

Several Palestinians and soldiers told the AP that Israeli troops are systematically forcing Palestinians to act as human shields in Gaza, sending them into buildings and tunnels to check for explosives or militants. The dangerous practice has become ubiquitous during 19 months of war, like you can see below.

Some IDF soldiers and veterans with a sense of decency joined Breaking the Silence. You can read their testimony about IDF brutality here: https://www.breakingthesilence.org.il/

In 2024, PM Benjamin Netanyahu, an MIT graduate, skillfully used the hostage situation to continue military operations to depopulate the Palestinian population in Gaza and the West Bank, keep his corruption trial in abeyance, and tilt the US 2024 election towards Dotard Trumpf by alienating the antiwar segment of the Democratic Party (approximately 6,265,888 voters the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris ticket had in 2020). An international arrest warrant for war crimes issued by the ICC remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of a law.

Ensuring American support for Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel is the notorious American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Their Islamophobic messaging and funding of pro-Israeli candidates in US elections ensures the uninterrupted flow of military and economic aid to Israel. AIPAC’s effective messaging of demonizing Arabs and Islamophobia explains why many American voters are indifferent to the plight of the Palestinian people. AIPAC talking points that “they” should have voted for Kamala Harris in 2024, “they” had previous chances at statehood and didn’t take it, or “they” are all terrorists, or pro-peace activists are all “Hamas lovers,” are all overused palaver. Blah-blah-blah. Thanks to AIPAC, the American taxpayer is complicit in ethnic cleansing and war crimes against the Palestinian people.

US Intelligence Community Update

Director of National Intelligence

Director of National Security Tulsi Gabbard wants to turn President Dotard Trumpf’s daily intel briefings into Fox News-type broadcasts because he “doesn’t read.” The most under-qualified person to ever the any US intelligence agency is hoping to add animations and more dynamic multimedia elements to Trumpf’s President’s Daily Briefs, or PDBs, to fit his viewing habits and hold his attention, five people with knowledge of the discussions told NBC News. Gabbard also reportedly consulted with current and former intelligence officials on bringing in a Fox News producer and host to reshape the PDBs “which are usually text and image-based for national security reasons” to deliver the intel in broadcast form. The process could involve granting the Fox News team security clearance to access classified information.

More Stalinist Purges

Tulsi Gabbard fired two senior analysts from the prestigious National Intelligence Council (NIC) who disagreed with Dotard Trumpf about Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro and his alleged connection with a street gang called Tren de Aragua (TDA).

Half of the National Security Council’s (NSC) 350 members were abruptly removed and many were given two hours to clean out their desks. This was supposedly done as a cost-cutting measure, but the reality is the Trumpf junta is ensuring only loyal followers of the MAGA cult remain in positions of power in the US national security architecture.

FBI Arrests DIA Employee for Attempting to Sell Secrets

The FBI arrested Nathan Vilas Laatsch (28), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) employee for attempting to transmit classified information to a friendly foreign government. Laatsch, who held a TS/SCI clearance, said that he had “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation” that he wanted to send. He said his reasoning for the decision was because he did not align with the current Trumpf junta’s policies. The FBI was subsequently tipped off and made contact with Laatsch under the guise of the aforementioned foreign government. Laatsch would end up transcribing and smuggling out classified products on two occasions to who he thought was an official of the friendly foreign government, and was arrested after the second exchange.

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

This is terrible. Nathan Vilas Laatsch worked ten years at Publix before finally getting his break with a position at DIA, only to be disgusted by the Trumpf junta, motivating him to sell secrets. This young man threw his life away. Decades ago DIA was a fine place to work, but who knows how toxic the environment is now under the white supremacist Trumpf junta?

CIA Update

Civilian Sleuth Exposes CIA Tradecraft

404 Media reported that Ciro Santilli, an amateur security researcher, discovered that the CIA had been using several Star Wars sites in the early 2000s to communicate with informants in other countries (Image: Cirosantilli2/Wikimedia Commons)

Ciro Santilli, an amateur security researcher, discovered that CIA had been using several Star Wars sites in the early 2000s to communicate with informants in other countries. One such site is StarWarsWeb.net. Santilli dug through hundreds of domain names and analyzed each of the sites’ HTML and even used bots to bypass the Wayback Machine, a massive archive of the internet, to see what the website might have looked like at its launch.

The unassuming site, which is decked out in pictures of R2D2 and C-3P0, a stock image of a boy dressed as a Jedi, also includes ads for the latest Star Wars video games and Lego sets. (Image: cirosantilli.com)

In order to chat with their CIA handler, informants would simply have to enter a password into the search bar, and a pop-up window would appear. The sites were forced to shut down after the Iranian government doubled down on its efforts to find informants who may be speaking with American intelligence agencies in 2018.

“The CIA really failed with this,” said Bill Marczak of the University of Toledo’s Citizen Lab. According to Marczak, the messaging system “stuck out like a sore thumb.”

By 2011, Iranian authorities successfully dismantled the CIA network in its country, and either executed or imprisoned the informants. Likewise, it was reported that authorities in China also found similar websites being used in their country and executed more than two dozen CIA sources between 2011 and 2012.

Other sites include a fan site for the late comedian Johnny Carson, a site about extreme sports, and one about Brazillan music. (Image: cirosantilli.com)

The outlet reports that some of the sites targeted France, Spain, and Brazil based on their language and content. (Image: cirosantilli.com).

Israel, North Korea, Russia, Israel, and China have competent and experienced counterintelligence organizations. Cultivating and handling HUMINT sources in hostile environments with sophisticated or pervasive surveillance systems is therefore a daunting challenge for CIA and DIA. If a civilian sleuth like Ciro Santilli was able to piece this CIA operation together, imagine how easily America’s adversaries were able to unravel this program and neutralize the informants. CIA and DIA adopted other methods of clandestinely communicating with their sources since this operation which Coriolanus is aware of, so that means the enemy is also aware. Moreover, Trumpf’s idiotic purge of the USIC will make intelligence collection even more difficult with the loss of experienced operators, analysts, and investigators.

Drunk Driver Lucky Not to Be Killed by CIA Security Officers

Background: CIA new headquarters building in Langley, Virginia (CIA.gov) Inset: Monia Spadaro (Alexandria Sheriff’s Office)

Security officers shot Monia Spadaro who was driving in the wrong lane toward CIA headquarters. The drunkard was driving her gray Toyota Corolla at about 3:40 a.m. on Thursday, 22 May, when she traveled on to CIA HQ in Langley, Virginia. The federal sign at the front entrance reads: “WARNING: RESTRICTED US GOVERNMENT INSTALLATION” and prohibiting entry to people “without proper authorization.”

Spadaro reportedly entered the complex in the outbound lane of traffic — causing a CIA police officer in a marked CIA vehicle to flash their lights and activate their sirens.

She continued toward the main security gate “while executing several reckless maneuvers” by driving on the wrong side of the road and swerving from one lane to the other. Another CIA officer reportedly tried to stop the car, but it sped up, and as it reached the gate, the officer fired shots at the car and hit Spadaro. The defendant was treated at a local hospital and then arraigned before a federal magistrate in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Miss Spadaro is lucky to be alive. She could have been easily killed by CIA security personnel who did not know whether she was a terrorist, saboteur, lunatic, or drunkard.

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

Canada: Thousands Flee Massive Wildfires in Northern Manitoba; Evacuation Orders in Alberta and Saskatchewan

Massive wildfires burning out of control in western and central Canada are forcing thousands to flee as dire forecasts for the country’s fire season come to fruition. The intensifying blazes are also sending hazardous smoke toward major cities in the US.

The premiers of Manitoba and Saskatchewan provinces have declared monthlong states of emergency, and much of Canada, from the Northwest Territories and Alberta to Ontario, are at “extreme” risk of wildfires. — the highest level on Environment Canada’s fire risk scale.

A wildfire in the Sherridon, Man. area is shown in a government handout photo. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO – Manitoba Government

There are just over 170 wildfires burning across Canada, about half of them uncontrolled. The country raised its National Preparedness Level to 5 of 5, unusually high for this early in the fire season. Last year, Canada didn’t reach that level until 15 July.

These fires are the result of global climate changing and are going to add pollution and carbon into the atmosphere, reducing the Air Quality Index (AQI) in surrounding areas. The habitats of thousands of animals are being destroyed, along with people’s homes and properties. Insurance costs are going to skyrocket after paying out for the losses.

The new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, has several challenges on his plate. Besides dealing with the new geo-political landscape caused by Dotard Trumpf and war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin, Mr. Carney must deal with this natural catastrophe. But the new PM holds a doctoral degree and assembled a competent cabinet which will deal with all of these issues logically. Link: https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/cabinet

US: Multi-State Food Recall for Salmonella-Tainted Cucumbers From Florida

The FDA informs: “Bedner Growers, Inc. of Boynton Beach, FL is voluntarily recalling cucumbers sold at Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market between 29 Apr and 14 May 2025 because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.”

The cucumbers are being recalled because they have been linked by the FDA to a Salmonella outbreak that has resulted in 26 illnesses in AL, CA, CO, FL, IL, KS, KY, MI, NC, NY, OH, PA, SC, TN, and VA.

Florida is probably one of the worst managed states in America, led by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who graduated Yale University and Harvard Law School. His handling of the COVID epidemic was a disaster as his is response to escalating gun violence in the Sunshine State: tax holidays for firearm purchases. DeSantis wasted money on establishing an election police and empowered local police forces to enforce immigration laws. Tourism is crashing in Florida, farms have lost migrant workers, and the orange juice industry is falling apart. We should expect more calamities from Florida because of poor governance during natural disasters, as well as uncontrolled gun violence and unvaccinated people.

Legionnaires Disease Detected in Las Vegas

Five travel-associated cases of Legionnaires’ disease are being investigated by the Southern Nevada Health District. Four individuals have recovered and one remains hospitalized.

Following notification of cases, the Health District conducted environmental water sampling at the facilities the travelers stayed at. Multiple water samples tested positive for Legionella, the bacteria that can cause Legionnaires’ disease, the release said.

Legionnaires’ disease symptoms typically begin within two to 10 days after exposure to the bacteria. However, people should watch for symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, fever, muscle aches and headaches for up to two weeks after exposure.

Hardcopies of the report would make excellent kindling for the fireplace. HHS cancelled a $590 million contract with Moderna to develop a vaccine for avian flu and the Trump junta terminated the CDC’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program as part of the agency’s reduction in force.

A recent report suggested that Felon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had a dust-up in the White House and Musk was seen with a black eye in the Oval Office which he attributed to his five-year-old son inaptly named “X.”

Simply put, the Trumpf junta’s health, economic, diplomatic, intelligence, and national security departments are led by incompetents, lickspittles, political hacks, oligarchs, and mountebanks. The arch-malefactor is oligarch Felon Musk. Their policies do not promote the security, safety, or health of the American people.

There were no calls from neo-Nazis to shut down Germany’s borders after this terrorist rampage because the perpetrator was a white German native woman. A 2023 analysis found that both print and television German media reported five times more on violent crimes when the suspect was a foreigner. Munich-based Ifo Institute found there was no correlation between migration and higher crime rates. In June 2024, some 3.48 million refugees with varying types of residency permits were living in Germany, a country of 84,198,272 people, and the third largest economy in the world. Germany provides universal health care for its residents, is cracking down on Neo-Nazis, and is generously helping Ukraine fend off Russian aggression.

South Africa: Pet Baby Hippo Kills Owner

The late Major Marius Els with Humphrey (Photo: Social media)

An army Major from Free State province of South Africa met a horrifying end after he was mauled to death by his pet hippo who he took in as a baby and treated ‘like a son.’ Marius Els (40) was bitten to death by the 1.2 ton hippo he named Humphrey. He had brought Humphrey to his 400 acre farm where the animal learned to swim with humans. A clip of Els riding the 2,000-pound beast like a horse went viral after many people were shocked he was able to accomplish such a feat.

But there had been several signs the animal would never be able to be domesticated — including an incident where a 52-year-old man and his seven-year-old grandson had to climb a tree to get away from the hippo when they canoed through the section of river on Els’ farm where Humphrey lived. Els reportedly tempted the hippo away with an apple while the pair were rescued by paramedics.

Els’s widow, Louise — a pharmacist — also expressed misgivings, as the hippo had caused trouble before. Humphrey had chased golfers on a nearby course and killed several calves belonging to Els’ business partner.

But Els’ himself was always upbeat about his unusual relationship with the animal. He said: “Humphrey’s like a son to me, he’s just like a human. There’s a relationship between me and Humphrey and that’s what some people don’t understand.”

“They think you can only have a relationship with dogs, cats, and domestic animals. But I have a relationship with the most dangerous animal in Africa.”

“I can swim with him. I go in the water. He allows me to get on his back, and I ride him like a horse. He swims with me. He’s like a son to me.”

But unfortunately for the animal lover, the situation did not end well for him after Humphrey turned on him — resulting in Major Els being killed by the hippo. Paramedics found Els immersed in a river and “had been bitten several times by the animal.” It was unclear how long he had been lying in the water.

Here is a video of what an adult hippopotamus is capable of:

Hippos are formidable creatures and are armed with giant canine teeth — they are said to kill more people every year than lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos combined. Vegetarians, adult hippos have no predators because of their huge size, thick skin, ferocious temperament, and powerful jaws, but young hippos are vulnerable to Nile crocodiles, leopards, lions, and spotted hyenas.

While the common hippo (Hippopotamus amphibious) is categorized as vulnerable, its smaller relative, the pygmy hippo (Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis), does have a place on the endangered species list. Both species continue to be threatened by illegal hunting and shrinking habitats.

Sidenote: South Africa President Cyril Cyril Ramaphosa had recently rebuked Dotard Trumpf’s mythological claim that white Afrikaners are being persecuted in his country. But one such “persecuted” Boer who took advantage of the resettlement plan in the US established a website with resource information to help other Boers emigrate to America:

https://www.refugeforafrikaners.com/

The website author ridiculously wrote that rightwing Fox News and Newsmax are “Trusted News Sources.” At the bottom of the website is a gif of the Dotard doing a silly dance.

‘Verloorder’ is Afrikaans for “loser.”

Mexico Fighting Organized Water Pilferage

Authorities in the Mexican state of Michoacán are employing satellite technology to counter water theft, as criminal groups exploiting an increasingly scarce and valuable natural resource.  The environmental surveillance system will monitor deforestation and land-use, as well as the 35,000 privately-owned irrigation reservoirs to ensure they are not illegally filled during the dry season. If the reservoirs are filled, the government will investigate the source of the water used. 

The system, which is backed by NASA and EU satellites, would permit authorities to “address environmental crimes on a large scale like never before in the state’s history.”

Nearly 76% of Mexico experienced drought through the end of May 2024, according to the North American Drought Monitor (NADM) and the soil has not yet fully recovered. That was the most widespread drought Mexico has experienced since 30 Jun 2011, when 85% of the country was affected.

In March, the Trumpf junta callously refused to release Colorado River water to Mexico, making that the first time the US had refused to release water in their 80-year partnership agreement. On 28 April in the spirit of good fellowship, Mexico said it would meet its water-sharing responsibilities with the US to help Texas ranchers and farmers. This past January, Dotard Trumpf idiotically wasted 2.2 billion gallons of California’s precious water, against the wishes of the US Army Corps of Engineers and Sacramento. Weather predictions indicate this summer will prove to be punishing in the American Southwest.

Donald Trumpf and Cronies Make Fortune in White House

Two Mega-Goniffs Score With $2bn Investment from Abu Dhabi

The investment by a firm controlled by Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund will go to World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency firm whose biggest beneficiaries are the Trumpf and Witkoff families. Thanks to Abu Dhabi’s purchase of their “stablecoin”, the Trumpfs and Witkoffs will collect hefty fees and could reap hundreds of millions of dollars in interest payments.

Felon Musk Tried to Block Massive Trumpf-backed Mideast AI Deal Unless He Was Included

The worst person in the world rushed to the Mideast to hold up a massive Trumpf-endorsed American AI operation in Abu Dhabi unless it included him. That apparently explains Felon Musk’s sudden appearance at a Trumpf meeting with Saudi Arabia officials during the president’s three-country Middle East vacation.

Trumpf was about to announce a huge AI partnership on foreign soil with America’s OpenAI, run by Musk’s arch rival Sam Altman, and the United Arab Emirates’ G42 company to build a Stargate UAE campus in Abu Dhabi.

The operation would also include America’s Oracle, Nvidia, and Cisco, and Japan’s SoftBank as part of the UAE’s push to become a major AI player. The new venture will be the biggest AI campus outside the US.

The Dotard must have said ‘WTF is Elon doing here?’ like when he blocked Musk’s secret China war briefing a few months ago. Trumpf and his cronies have completely erased the lines between government and private business, making mega fortunes for themselves and there is little the American people can do about their abominable corruption and greed.

Great Britain Deployed 518 Spy Flights Over Gaza Strip

The UK government confirmed the ISR flights took place.

Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), a UK-based volunteer group, reports:

“Between 3 December 2023 and 27 March 2025, the UK’s Royal Air Force (RAF) has conducted at least 518 publicly available Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) flights to the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) using the Shadow R1 aircraft. Operated almost daily out of RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus, there remain grave concerns as to the purpose of these sorties and the UK’s continued sharing of intelligence with Israel within the context of its destruction of occupied Gaza, the ICJ’s investigation of Israel for genocide and the ICC’s issuing of arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Palestinian people.”

The full and comprehensive report is linked at the bottom.

Shadow R1 ISR aircraft (Photo: UKMOD)

As you read previously on Coriolanus, British police officers nefariously shared information about pro-Palestinian protestors with Israeli officials in 2024, raising concerns about foreign interference.

Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s Nakba against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since Oct 2023, has exterminated 53,977 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and wounded or maimed 122,966 others.

Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip. We in the West are all witnesses.

Western complicity, support, and funding of this ethnic purging of Palestinians and the stealing of their lands is unforgiveable, much like turning a blind eye from Nazi atrocities against Jews in the 1930s.

Moreover, Western hypocrisy is exposed when NATO and the EU arm and support Ukraine against Russian aggression, but simultaneously support Israeli aggression against Palestinians. The AIPAC and rightwing talking point that the Palestinians are responsible for their own destruction because resistance fighters attacked Israel on 7 Oct 2023 is poppycock. Those Palestinian armed groups had no other option but to take Israeli hostages as the only way to free any of the thousands of their fathers, sons, brothers, cousins, or nephews being held in Israeli military detention for months or years without trial or hearing. See Human Rights Watch report linked below.

In the map below showing the 7 Oct 2023 raid, rightwing Fox News described the resistance fighters who attacked Israel as “militants.” Anybody stuck in the brutal impoverished ghetto known as the Gaza Strip would be a “militant,” including Coriolanus.

Fox News and other rightwing outlets would have described the below Warsaw Uprising resistance as “militants” or “terrorists.” How dare the Palestinians fight back with the only tools they have available to them: guerilla tactics, abductions, or martyrdom operations? What chutzpah!

According to the World Bank, GDP per capita in the UK is $49,463.90; for Israel the figure is $52,642.40. The average Israeli citizen earns more than his British counterpart whose country is a G-7 member. So, what did the hardworking British taxpayer get out of either their police sharing information with Israel or the RAF flying spy missions on behalf of them? The Pariah state is a rich country that boasts of having nearly 40 billionaires, so besides helping to kill and displace thousands of impoverished people like blinded Areej Asaliya pictured below, what did the British taxpayer gain by helping the Rogue state?

What Criticism of the Genocidal Pariah State Will Get You

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

Canada Update

UK Monarch Opens Parliament for Only Third Time in History

Prime Minister Mark Carney sat to Charles’s right as the King delivered the speech from the throne. (Photo: Victoria Jones /Pool / Reuters)

FTA:

“King Charles delivered a historic speech from the throne Tuesday and he used that platform to praise Canada as a force for good that will remain “strong and free” as its relationships with longtime partners are “changing.”

Charles, who delivered the speech while seated next to Queen Camilla in the Senate, the royal chamber, laid out the new Liberal government’s agenda for the parliamentary session ahead but also subtly addressed the issue that’s on the minds of many Canadians in the portion of the speech that he himself crafted: US President Dotard Trumpf, his tariffs and the 51st state taunts. In the portion of the speech written by PM Mark Carney and his team, Charles said Canada’s relationship with the US is changing and the country is facing unprecedented challenges.”

One of the reasons for this rare event is because of US President Dotard Trumpf’s idiotic and disrespectful calls to annex Canada. Trumpf posted on Social Media that the Golden Dome air defense project would cost Canada $61bn, but if they joined the US as the 51st state, it would be “free.” King Charles did not mention the Dotard’s name once during the speech.

The Dotard’s imperialistic blathering and new border restrictions on Canadians are meant to sow discord between the two neighbors and allies, a central goal of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Should Russia ever make moves into the Arctic for the mineral wealth underneath, the American public may be reluctant to deploy the US military because of the antipathy Trumpf has caused between the two neighbors and NATO/NORAD allies.

PM Mark Carney Appoints First Ever Minister for Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Canada has its first-ever minister of artificial intelligence (AI) in veteran broadcaster and newly elected Toronto Centre MP Evan Solomon. The new minister will have a massive undertaking that will touch nearly every aspect of the economy, government functions, and national security. Mark Carney has called for sweeping use of AI to create the “economy of the future,” incentivize businesses to adopt AI and build the infrastructure needed to support all that work. 

When it comes to the federal government, the platform calls for AI to slash repetitive tasks and reduce costs in the public service. And it calls to set up an office of digital transformation, something Solomon — whose full title is minister of artificial intelligence and digital innovation — will likely oversee.

While the Trumpf junta brought in the worst person in the world, “Felon Musk,” to oversee the notorious Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), PM Carney selects a non-oligarch member of Parliament to oversee Canada’s efficiency and innovation. What a difference between the US and Canada.

Sidenote: AI is both the future of warfare and possibly the harbinger of man’s downfall:

Canada Looking to Join Major European Military Buildup by 1 July

(Photo: Canadian Military Family Magazine)

Prime Minister Mark Carney signaled he hopes Canada will be able to sign on to a major European defense rearmament plan by 1 July, a step toward reducing the country’s dependency on the US for weapons and munitions. He made the remarks on following the speech from the throne, which committed his government to joining ReArm Europe.

“Seventy-five cents of every dollar of capital spending for defense goes to the US. That’s not smart,”

Canada has been engaged in talks with the EU since Carney took office — before the spring federal election — about joining the plan which foresees the nations on the continent spending $1.25 trillion on defense over the next five years.

“We’re making great progress on that, and by Canada Day we’d like to see something concrete there,” Carney said.

National Ballet of Canada Sheds The White Tights

FTA: “As ballet grapples with its history of racial homogeneity, many of its longest-standing conventions are coming under the microscope. Some of this involves reconsidering hiring practices, casting choices, and access to training. But it also means taking a hard look at aesthetic practices that can make nonwhite dancers feel excluded. Pale pink tights were introduced to match the skin tone of 19th-century European ballerinas, a tradition that has reinforced whiteness as an industry norm. For dark-skinned dancers, wearing blush-colored hosiery can be a daily, tangible reminder that they don’t satisfy an ideal.”

Tights don’t have the same racial connotations for male dancers because they are rarely intended to suggest nude skin. In this production, all the Prince Siegfrieds wear opaque white tights that match their shirts.”

For some female dancers, the white tights felt oppressive, but for others they covered up blemishes on their legs. Moreover, tights absorb perspiration, and legs that are sweaty and slippery become unpleasant for the partner. Tights also keep the pointe shoes from becoming soggy while keeping the muscles of the legs warm which prevents cramps.

Canada Experiencing Air Traffic Control (ATC) Problems

An Air Canada pilot vented his frustrations over air traffic controller shortages on a recent flight, telling passengers to write their MPs to address ongoing delays at the country’s airports.

In the message, he says that the air traffic controller sector — which is operated by private company Nav Canada — was understaffed, and sick calls had meant there was a holdup at the airport that day.

“It’s very annoying,” the pilot told the passengers. “It’s cost the company a lot of money. It costs business people a lot of money, and it would be great to have this addressed.”

The pilot goes on to accuse Nav Canada of keeping the number of new trainees low in order to keep overtime numbers high and asks passengers to tell their representatives about it.

“Please write your MP and let them know what’s going on and how it’s affecting your business or your leisure plans,” he urged.

The longer an airplane stays in the sky unnecessarily, then more costly aviation fuel is wasted, ultimately raising the price of airline travel. Moreover, the chances of mishaps increase such as bird strikes, increased collision opportunities with other planes, sick or distressed passengers could be on board the delayed flight, and air and noise pollution increase. This is a multi-dimensional problem that should be a priority for the Canadian government to resolve.

University of British Columbia (UBC) Invents Spiked Drink Detector

FTA: UBC researchers have developed Spikeless, a seemingly ordinary stir stick capable of detecting common drink-spiking drugs like GHB and ketamine within 30 seconds, potentially preventing assaults.

Drink spiking involves covertly adding drugs to a drink, often with the intent to cause harm or commit assault. Since gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and ketamine are tasteless and odorless, detecting them is nearly impossible without special tools. A recent study found about 10 per cent of women and sexual minorities, and about four per cent of heterosexual men have experienced drink spiking. 

“Anywhere there’s a bar—clubs, parties, festivals—there’s a risk,” said Samin Yousefi, a UBC master’s student in chemical and biological engineering and the device’s co-inventor. “People have tried cups, coasters, straws, even nail polish to detect these drugs. Our device is more discreet than existing alternatives and doesn’t contaminate the drink.”

Why This Invention is An Excellent Idea

Disgraced ex-CIA officer Brian Jeffrey Raymond. (Photo: FBI)

Last year former CIA officer Brian Jeffrey Raymond (49) was sentenced to 30 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting more than two dozen women while working for the agency in South America. Law enforcement found hundreds of images of the disgraced spy groping and abusing his unconscious victims on his computer. Raymond admitted to raping an additional four women, sexually abusing six, and taking obscene photographs of 28 female victims. This maniac’s crime spree lasted nearly two decades and how Brian Jeffrey Raymond was able to get away with it for so long is a mystery to Coriolanus who underwent periodic polygraphs during his career.

Brian Jeffrey Raymond (USMS# 96169-298) is incarcerated at Marianna FCI, FL, a medium security prison, and is scheduled to be released on 2 May 2046.

Loblaw’s to Pay $500 Million for Price Fixing Bread

A $500-million settlement in the long-running Loblaw bread-fixing case was approved by Ontario Superior Court Judge Ed Morgan on 7 May, saying the money put forward by the grocery companies was “an excellent and fair result for all concerned.”

The class-action lawsuit accused Loblaw Companies Limited and its parent company, George Weston, of engaging in an industry-wide scheme to fix the price of bread. The plaintiffs alleged companies participated in a 14-year industry-wide price-fixing conspiracy between 2001 and 2015, leading to an artificial increase in packaged bread prices.

Arrested FBI Agent May Have Damaging Information on Mega Oligarchs Elon Musk and Peter Thiel

A Ukrainian news outlet alleges that a former FBI Special Agent (SA) was arrested for attempting to expose a covert Russian intelligence campaign to gain influence over billionaires Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. The unnamed agent is out on $100,000 bond. The decorated counterintelligence agent has nearly two decades of service, specializing in Russian espionage operations. The SA had previously been commended for his work uncovering sleeper cells and disinformation networks operating inside the US. The SA became alarmed after obtaining intelligence suggesting that Russian military intelligence (GRU) had successfully cultivated relationships with high-profile Silicon Valley billionaires, using a combination of flattery, backchannel political access, and subtle kompromat. When his superiors allegedly refused to escalate the matter, he attempted to alert the public through unofficial channels, an act the Department of Justice quickly branded as an unlawful release of classified material.

Followers of the Watch, this Ukrainian news outlet seems to anonymously refer to FBI SA Jonathan Buna who illegally downloaded 130 files of data for the purpose of writing an expose. (see Coriolanus, 23 March 2025):

Dotard Trumpf Update

Pure Baboonery: Trumpf Admits Helping Vladimir Putin; Doubletalks About Receiving Gifts; Rambles Idiotic Speech at West Point; Ignores Soldiers in Memorial Day Post

Trumpf admitted that he has been helping Putin, something everyone on the planet already knew.

And when you read Trumpf’s Truth Social message, you could easily substitute the name “Vladimir Putin” with “Benjamin Netanyahu” and “Russia” with “Israel.”

The two criminal leaders of their respective Pariah states appear to have had a falling out over Iran and Gaza. Putin does not want Iran attacked as Russia has invested billions of dollars in their ally and Trumpf’s team is negotiating with Tehran, to the chagrin of Netanyahu who wants to destroy Iran’s nuclear industry. During Trumpf’s luxurious vacation in the Middle East, the wealthy Gulf States may have pressured Trumpf to help the people of Gaza.

Then listen to the Dotard’s doubletalk about receiving gifts, such as the Qatari jet recently given him.

The Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces, a man whose father arranged a draft deferment for him during the Vietnam War, issued an imbecilic commencement speech to the newly commissioned Second Lieutenants of the US Army where Trumpf talked about gangster Al Capone and “trophy wives.”

Followers of the Watch, do not lose too many brain cells over this inanity. Fast forward or skip this entirely.

Finally, here is Dotard Trumpf’s social post on Memorial Day. He deleted it, then re-posted it anyway. The first blasphemy in the post is that there is nothing ‘happy’ about commemorating America’s fallen warriors– this is not a celebratory holiday, but a somber occasion. Second, the venomous screed does not mention America’s soldiers who paid the ultimate price, but rather he attacks liberals, progressives, and Democrats. The Dotard ends the sacrilege with “God Bless America.”

Who’s Responsible for America Having This Baboon as President?

The tragedy in this comedy is that 49.8% of eligible American voters elected this clown to be President on 5 Nov 2024, preferring the completely corrupted and venal Dotard Trumpf over a competent woman of color because of racism. But Democrats must shoulder the greater burden of fault in this tragi-comedy. In 2024 they allowed themselves to lose 6,265,888 critical supporters they had in 2020– the antiwar progressives– by not withholding lethal military aid to Israel which was used to butcher the Palestinians daily. This resulted in Kamala Harris winning only 48.3% of the popular vote and losing most of the Electoral College. The unfortunate sobriquet “Genocide Joe” Biden stuck to the Democrats as the imagery of misery kept piling in day in and day out during the entire 2024 political season. Benjamin Netanyahu, the MIT graduate, knew exactly what he was doing by alienating the progressives from the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party has no one else to blame for this hideous conundrum America is now in, having a baboon in the White House doing untold damage to the US economy and national security while he enriches himself and his fellow oligarchs, making imbecilic statements 24/7. AIPAC-supported Democrats will deflect and blame Felon Musk’s nefarious machinations, the tiny 1.1% Arab-American population, the archaic Electoral College system, or Joe Biden’s age. But it was the platform of Islamophobia that sunk them. Moreover, the Democratic Party is going to need every single vote it can get in the 2026 midterm and 2028 presidential elections, especially the 6,265,888 non-Islamophobic antiwar voters they lost in 2024. These Americans won’t vote for the Republicans, but neither will they vote for a Democrat that supports genocide, so they will stay home in Nov 2026 and 2028, just like they did in 1968 and 2024. Good luck, Democratic Party.

The Republican Party’s best friend.

Kangaroo Tries to Drown Man in Australian Floodwaters

Kangaroo attacks are rare in Australia. (Photo: Getty Images)

A large, muscular kangaroo tried to drown a man in Australia, after the two got into a punch-up. Don James is said to have found himself fighting for his life as the marsupial held him down in floodwaters which had pooled on the side of the road near Port Macquarie – only escaping after the marsupial appeared to become spooked.

Kristy Lees, who watched the battle unfold in her rear-view mirror said: “It’s not every day a big, male kangaroo decides to take you on… Even in Australia, you do not expect to see it.” She suspects the “very distressed” kangaroo had become trapped in the area following the record flooding that hit New South Wales this week, leaving five people dead.

“The kangaroo was trying to drown me,” Don James said.

“I just remember being under water and kicking and screaming and carrying on. It was pretty traumatic for a while there.”

Kangaroos have been known to appear to attempt to drown their foes – although these are usually animals the size of dogs.

Kangaroos have a lot of weapons such as sharp teeth, claws, and powerful legs. Like any animal that’s cornered or distressed, they can be quite dangerous. Reported one biologist:

“The problem with kangaroos and people is we’re both upright animals, we stand on our two feet, and an upright stance like that is a challenge to the male kangaroo.”

This man risked his life punching a kangaroo that threatened his dog. (Photo: National Geographic)

In 2022, a 77-year-old man south of Perth was killed by a kangaroo that he kept as a pet. When the ambulance crew arrived at the rural property, the kangaroo prevented them from treating the man. Police say they were forced to shoot the marsupial dead so paramedics could reach him. The man died at the scene.

Australia is home to about 50 million kangaroos, which can weigh up to 90kg and grow to 2m tall. But fatal attacks are rare; the last reported attack in Australia was 1936.

US Warzone: Ten Wounded in South Carolina Firefight

US Army medic hard at work saving a life. (Photo: US Army)

Ten people were shot and at least one other person was injured when a holiday weekend gathering at a charter boat in a South Carolina coastal community turned violent. Some of the casualties are in critical condition. The shooting stemmed from an altercation during a private Memorial Day weekend gathering on a charter boat in Little River, a community of about 11,000 people situated along the Intracoastal Waterway near the North Carolina state line. A North Myrtle Beach Police officer suffered a self-inflicted leg injury while responding to the Little River shooting after accidentally discharging his service weapon.

In an average year, 1,044 people die and 2,358 are wounded by firearms in South Carolina, which has the 6th-highest rate of gun violence in the US. South Carolina Firearm Licenses in 2021: 119,205. 49.4% of adults say they share their homes with at least one gun. In 2022, 48,000 Americans were killed by a firearm. Every eleven minutes someone is murdered with a gun.

In essence, the US is a warzone, but without a foreign military invasion. US governors should consider deploying medics from their respective Air and Army National Guard units throughout their states under Title 32 to save lives within the “golden hour.” These medics would support local ambulance services and save someone’s life without an ensuing catastrophic medical bill. Note that the horrendous Republican budget to pay for the tax cuts for the oligarchs will strip Medicaid and Medicare of critical funding. Rural hospitals will be hit the hardest and be forced to close. This will affect gun-loving Republicans in the Red States.

Idiotically, Dotard Trumpf signed Executive Orders loosening federal regulations on firearms and legalizing machine guns. The GOP also passed the legalization of pistol silencers, a favored tool of assassins. Under the Trumpf junta, the possibility exists that the US can reach 50,000 gun deaths. By contrast, Canada to the north suffers less than 300 gun deaths a year with 1/9th the US population.

Do People Find France President Emmanuel Macron Annoying in Person?

At a recent summit in Tirana, Albania, Turkiye President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seemed to have been annoyed by France President Emmanuel Macron, so he let him have it by clamping down on Macron’s finger and not letting go of it for several seconds:

President Erdogan may have been annoyed that President Macron placed his hand over the Turkish supremo’s during their handshake. Erdogan, the elder of the two statesmen did not rise for the younger Macron. Note that Turkish security agencies have been supplying Paris with intelligence on terrorism threats, including information that prevented an attack at the 2024 Olympics in France. In return, French police rounded up Kurdish dissidents and deported them to Turkiye (as you read previously here on Coriolanus). Critically, Erdogan is awaiting Macron to fulfill his pledge of recognizing the State of Palestine this summer.

Turkish strongman Erdogan doesn’t suffer fools; watch if he is less respectful with other global leaders.
