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

CIA Update
Senior CIA officer Ralph Goff (undated photo).
CIA has withdrawn Ralph Goff, an agency veteran and vocal supporter of Ukraine, from consideration to serve as its chief of clandestine operations. Goff had been appointed and given a start date for later this month before he was pulled from consideration. The CIA’s DDO is responsible for overseeing the agency’s covert activity and the gathering of HUMINT, one of the most challenging and vital aspects of the agency’s work. The role is commonly seen as one of the most powerful jobs in the agency. No immediate explanation was given as to why Goff had been withdrawn from consideration for this important position. Goff’s career at CIA spanned 35 years, and included significant stretches in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Europe. CIA declined to comment on this story.
MI6, CSIS, ASIO, and other NATO intelligence agencies have paid strict to this significant victory for Vladimir Putin.
Felon Musk Visits CIA HQ, Nose Pins Handed Out
The worst person in the world recently visited CIA HQ for talks on government efficiency. This is the first time Musk has visited the CIA since the establishment of DOGE.
Unlike other government departments, DOGE isn’t going to get unlimited access to CIA databases or internal systems because most of it is top secret, a source familiar with the issue said. CIA has an internal DOGE team that was formed after Trump’s executive order. The team that includes CIA career officials has been working for several weeks.
CIA officials didn’t give Musk an intelligence briefing, but discussed with him “how the CIA is unique” in comparison to other government agencies. Musk visited NSA HQ a few weeks ago, and they too must have placed clothespins over their noses.
Does anyone on the planet think that UK PM Keir Starmer, Canada PM Mark Carney, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, or Chinese Premiere Xi Jinping would allow Felon Musk into their main intelligence agency headquarters?
OPSEC (Operational Security) Non-Existent with US National Security Adviser
National Security Adviser Mike Waltz (undated photo from the public domain)
National security adviser Mike Waltz’s team regularly set up chats on Signal to coordinate official work on issues including Ukraine, China, Gaza, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, according to four people who have been personally added to Signal chats.
Two of the people said they were in or have direct knowledge of at least 20 such chats. All four said they saw instances of sensitive information being discussed.
It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trumpf administration’s national security team relies on Signal, a publicly available messaging app, to conduct its work. D/CIA Ratcliffe and D/DNI Tulsi Gabbard were already grilled by the US Senate over the previous court-martial offense of using a commercial phone app while discussing national security information about bombing the Houthis. The Israeli Mossad were livid because the group chat on Signal discussed one of their HUMINT sources in Yemen.
Now we learn that Mike Waltz and other senior officials also use their personal Gmail accounts for government business. The administration’s handling of sensitive information is already under severe scrutiny, and Gmail is even less secure than Signal.
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is a successor to the man below, which is absolutely breath-taking.
USSECDEF Pete Hellsbreath Plagiarizes Heritage Foundation
The hits just keep coming with this All-Star line-up selected by Dotard Trumpf. USSECDEF Pete Hellsbreath issued a secret memo outlining US military priorities which comes straight from the conservative Heritage Foundation, including some passages that are nearly word-for-word duplications of text published by the think tank in 2024. The memo outlines Trumpf’s vision to prepare for and win a potential war against Beijing and defend the US from threats in the “near abroad,” which may include Greenland and/or the Panama Canal. Iran is mentioned several times as a powerful adversary.
Besides spilling classified information on Signal to an uncleared journalist which the US military pilots said potentially endangered their mission bombing starving Houthis on Israel’s behalf, Hellsbreath committed other blasphemies. He brought his wife into official meetings and like a good nepotist, gave his brother a cushy job in the Pentagon. Lacking any imagination, Hellsbreath, who was removing all traces of minorities and females from DOD websites, stole the blueprints for America’s national security from a conservative think-tank itching to get America involved in another war, most likely against Iran.
Notorious Islamophobe Sebastian Gorka is a senior advisor to Trumpf and wants to destroy Iran.
A US-led war against Iran has been a dream of Israel, AIPAC, and Islamophobic Republicans for decades because Tehran stands up for the Palestinians. ICC-indicted war criminal Putin will warn his protege in the White House that attacking Iran is not in the Kremlin’s interest. Russia has invested heavily in Iran which provides them drones and other materiel. ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will just have to settle for American taxpayer-funded, US military strikes on the starving Shia Houthis for the time being.
Loyalty Tests Purge National Security Staff
Rightwing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer (11 Sep 2024 photo: Matt Rourke / AP)
Dotard Trumpf fired six national security council staffers after a fraught meeting in the Oval Office where the far-right psychopathic Laura Loomer presented opposition research against a number of staffers that she said showed they were disloyal to the US president.
The firings encompassed four staffers who were fired overnight, right after the meeting, and two who were removed over the weekend. This created the extraordinary situation where Loomer appeared to have more influence than national security adviser Mike Waltz over the NSC and undercutting Waltz in having his own aides axed.
The fired officials included Brian Walsh, the senior director for intelligence who previously worked for now USSECSTATE Marco Rubio on the Senate intelligence committee; Thomas Boodry, the senior director for legislative affairs who previously served as Waltz’s legislative director in Congress; and Maggie Dougherty, the senior director for international organizations.
This is the Islamophobic Laura Loomer that began the rumors of Haitians eating cats that Dotard Trumpf listens to:

FBI Raid Home of Computer Scientist Who is Now Incommunicado
Xiaofeng Wang (Undated photo from public domain)
Xiaofeng Wang, a prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity, has gone incommunicado. His professor profile, email account, and phone number were removed by his employer, Indiana University, after his home was raided by the FBI. No one knows why.
“The FBI conducted court authorized law enforcement activity at homes in Bloomington and Carmel Friday. We have no further comment at this time.”
Neither Xiaofeng nor his wife Ma have been seen or heard from and her Indiana University websites were also deleted. Below are photos of the FBI search and seizure of Xiaofeng’s properties. One of these 15 US District Judges or Magistrates in the Southern District of Indiana must have signed the search and seizure warrant for the FBI: https://www.insd.uscourts.gov/district-judges:

Maryland Man Wrongfully Deported to Notorious El Salvador Prison

The Trumpf junta has been using the archaic Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to circumnavigate the immigration review and judicial process enshrined in the US Constitution. This “shoot first, ask questions later” approach will lead to terrible mistakes, like this appalling episode.
The Trumpf administration admitted in a court filing that an “administrative error” and an “oversight” resulted in a Salvadoran man’s deportation and imprisonment in a supermax prison in El Salvador, despite a legal order prohibiting his removal there.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was removed from the US on 15 Mar as part of a series of deportation flights that sent hundreds of alleged gang members to a notorious prison in El Salvador, even though an immigration judge had granted him a legal protection from deportation.
There is no information as to how the Trumpf junta will return Mr. Garcia to the US and what his physical condition is after being in a notorious mega-prison crammed with hardened criminals and real gang-members for two weeks.
Judge Holds ICE Agent in Contempt of Court

Boston Municipal Judge Mark Summerville is holding ICE agent Brian Sullivan in contempt after he detained a suspect while the man was on trial. The agent detained Wilson Martell-Lebron last week as he was leaving court. Judge Summerville issued a ruling against Sullivan, arguing that he had deprived Martell-Lebron of his rights to due process and a fair trial by taking him into custody.
“It’s a case of violating a defendant’s right to present at trial and confront witnesses against him,” Judge Mark Summerville said from the bench. “It couldn’t be more serious.”
Summerville dismissed the charge against Martell-Lebron of making false statements on his driver’s license application — namely that he wasn’t Martell-Lebron. After that, Summerville filed the contempt charge against Sullivan, which could lead Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden to review the case and determine if any charges should be filed.

American Policing at Local Levels Needs Complete Overhaul
As if living under the Trumpf junta wasn’t terrible enough, the legacy of hiring underqualified or racist police officers at the local level in America continues, as you have read here on Coriolanus. Here are more examples of serious dysfunction.
NJ State Trooper Arrested for Alleged Dog Killing, Vandalism, Assault
A New Jersey state trooper faces multiple charges after allegedly shooting and killing his dog, fleeing his home, vandalizing a stop sign, and assaulting a local police officer.
Authorities arrested Alexander Lark in Wayne Township. He is charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, criminal mischief, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. He also faces a municipal violation for discharging a firearm. Animal cruelty charges are pending. An affidavit of probable cause states that Lark appeared to be under the influence of an unidentified substance.
Four Texas Deputies Commit Suicide in Six Weeks
From left to right: Long Nguyen, Christina Kohler, Maria Vasquez, William Bozeman (Harris County Sheriff’s Office)
The Harris County sheriff’s office in Texas is mourning the loss of four current and former deputies who died by suicide in just six weeks. There is insufficient information to correlate anything connecting the four at this time and Coriolanus will not speculate as to what drove these deputies to kill themselves, but clearly something is amiss in Harris County and in American policing in general.
Harris County, Texas.
American policing requires a complete overhaul, but this will never happen. The US has thousands of counties and local municipalities within 50 states, each with their own standards, budgets, and hiring practices. So, Americans have to suffer not only with professional jackbooted police officers at the federal level, but with a melange of unfit police officers at the local levels.

USAG Pam Bondi Seeks Death Penalty for Luigi Mangione
US Attorney General Pamela Bondi released the following statement:
“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America. After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again.”
Make America safe for the oligarchs again is what Lady Dracula means.
Blonde-haired sycophant to Trumpf USAG Pam Bondi refused to investigate Trumpf University when she was Florida’s Attorney-General and is now using federal resources to investigate Tesla vandals.
The late oligarch Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthCare (UHC) amassed himself a tidy fortune by denying healthcare to premium-paying patients using cost-benefit analysis of who gets to live and who gets to die. The strategy used was “Delay, Deny, and Defend” to fight payouts to people who paid thousands of dollars in premiums to the AARP Medicare Advantage program he operated, one of the worst health insurers in the world. UHC’s aggressive and appealing marketing campaigns bring them thousands of unknowing elderly customers every year who go on to receive the worst medical outcomes. Coriolanus knew a suffering victim of Brian Thompson– a man who put profits over people– and so the oligarch paid the ultimate price for his greed.
As predicted here on Coriolanus last year, the US government must ruthlessly provide an example to the masses that truthful yet dangerous messaging and actions won’t be tolerated. The federal government immediately began its parallel prosecution of Luigi Mangione because capital punishment was de facto abolished in the Empire State in 2004.
An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Australia Shuts Down Six Confucius Institutes
Six Australian universities have quietly closed Chinese government-linked Confucius Institutes (CI) on their campuses, leaving seven open nationwide. Canberra has ramped up scrutiny on the education centers over concerns that Beijing is using them to spread propaganda and spy on Chinese international students. Beijing says its Confucius Institutes, which offer Chinese language and cultural classes overseas, are a “bridge reinforcing friendship” with the world. Western intelligence agencies have been concerned about Beijing’s global reach through these education centers. Some universities in America and Europe also closed some of their branches.
AI estimates there are approximately 30 Confucius Institutes operating in the US, down from a peak of around 1,201. In Canada, there are 13 Confucius Institutes operating. Beijing also operates secret police stations to spy on Chinese citizens in the US.

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

An early toxic algae bloom off the coast of Southern California is killing or sickening hundreds of sea lions, dolphins and seabirds, while forcing rescuers to make tough choices about “which animals to save.”
Studies reveal global algae blooms are growing, and warming waters may be to blame. Swirling blooms of turquoise phytoplankton along coasts may be happening more often and getting bigger, according to new research published in Nature, raising concerns about the impacts of climate change on the world’s oceans.
Phytoplankton are microscopic algae, and a “bloom” is a sudden explosion of them, sometimes covering hundreds of square kilometers of ocean. The study found that over that period, the global median frequency of algal blooms increased by 59%, and the total area affected by the blooms expanded by nearly four million square kms — close to half the size of Canada.
This spectacular view of intensifying phytoplankton blooms was captured by NASA’s Aqua satellite and then shaded by researchers to illustrate the data captured. (Illustration: Lian Feng)
According to the Lancet, these toxic algae blooms can sicken people on shore. And as you read here on Coriolanus, USN Seal candidates have been getting sick because of the pollution in the waters off San Diego (20 Feb 2025). A cocktail of petro-chemicals and industrial waste created a lethal jacuzzi in the Gulf of Mexico (21 Jan 2025).
Some oceanographers claim that we may be the last generation to enjoy genuine seafood because of the algae, pollution, chemicals, and plastics that have poisoned the world’s oceans.
We are heading face-first into the dystopic 1973 film “Soylent Green” (originally a 1966 Harry Harrison novel “Make Room! Make Room!”) where the oceans are dead and the earth’s ability to produce food is nearly all gone. To feed the overpopulated masses, the governments of the world provide people with nutritious Soylent Green, but unbeknownst to the hoi polloi, the wafers are the processed remains of dead people. Harry Ellison is Oracle CEO Larry Ellison’s brother. Larry Ellison is interested in collecting everyone’s medical and DNA info for Oracle’s AI systems for analysis. Please see next story.

23andMe DNA Data Up for Grabs After Going Bankrupt
Customers of 23andMe are rightly concerned about what could happen to their DNA profiles now that the ancestry-research company has filed for bankruptcy. “It looks like it’s up for grabs,” he said of the genetic information. “And there doesn’t really seem to be any parameters regarding its use.”
After a customer provides a saliva sample, DNA-testing companies like 23andMe provide a profile of a person’s genetic heritage. Police used forensic genetic genealogy to solve crimes. 23andMe had a data breach in 2023 and paid out $30 million to settle a class-action lawsuit. Under bankruptcy, the company’s DNA database of more than 15 million customers could potentially be sold as an asset.
As you are aware, oligarch Larry Ellison wants to put all America’s data, including DNA, in one large Oracle system for AI to study (17 Feb 2025).
Your author is surprised that with all their billions, oligarchs Felon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Larry Ellison didn’t already buy 23andMe or their DNA data yet for their AI plans to subjugate humanity. Billionaire Felon Musk took the time to fly to Wisconsin to hand out paltry checks for one million dollars each to influence an election which he lost anyway, so why he or another megalomaniac hasn’t bought any of this DNA information goldmine is a mystery to the author.

Two Mass Murderers Believe They Were Fulfilling Trumpf’s Wishes
Mass murderer Patrick Crusius.
MAGA terrorist and white supremacist Patrick Crusius believed he was acting at the direction of President Donald Trumpf when he murdered 23 people and wounded 22 others at an El Paso Walmart on 3 Aug 2019, his defense lawyer told El Paso Matters. Crusius was sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences in July 2023. Crusius admitted that he killed and wounded people at the Walmart because of the actual and perceived national origin of the people he expected to be at the Walmart. He further admitted that he intended to kill everyone he shot.
Crusius wrote a manifesto titled “An Inconvenient Truth” and uploaded it to the internet minutes before he commenced his attack. In it, he characterized himself as a white nationalist, motivated to kill Hispanics because they were immigrating to the US. The maniac admitted to selecting El Paso, a border city, as his target to dissuade Mexican and other Hispanic immigrants from coming to the US.
“He thought he had to stop the invasion because that’s what his president was telling him, which is just not rational,” defense attorney Joe Spencer said in his first extended interview about the mass shooting that Crusius said was meant to stop “the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”
“He thought, if he doesn’t do it, then nobody’s going to do it. He’s got to start,” Spencer said.
The White House did not respond to multiple requests for comment from El Paso Matters. On 5 Aug 2019, two days after the El Paso shooting, Trumpf condemned the attack and the motives behind it: “The shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America.” [Hah!]
Trumpf visited El Paso on 7 Aug, ignoring pleas from much of El Paso’s elected leadership that he stay away because they felt his rhetoric may have played a role in the shooting. Trumpf’s vile hate-mongering may be responsible for another heinous mass murder, the slaughter at the Miami high school in 2018.
Mass murderer Nikolas Cruz. He offered to donate his brain to science.
Parkland Miami mass murderer Nikolas Cruz has mastered the talking points of Donald Trumpf. Before Cruz used an AR-15 assault rifle to kill 17 people, including 13 students, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, he idolized Trumpf. One of his most prized possessions was a MAGA hat; the rage-filled, paranoid teen posed with it on his head for Instagram and wore it while he practiced shooting a pellet gun in his backyard. Cruz even put the red hat on his mother’s urn during her funeral.
In a in a batch of released prison letters, Cruz expounds on politics and the letters show the unhinged killer remains deeply drawn to Trumpf’s divisive and negative political messaging, which takes aim at immigrants, liberals, and the media. Cruz seems to have taken especially seriously Trump’s unfounded allegations that illegal immigrants threaten American society and are more prone than others to crime. He is sentenced to life imprisonment without the chance of parole for one of the worst high school shootings in the US.

These two lunatics are examples of stochastic terrorism. Put another way: “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” This is a quote attributed to Henry II of England preceding the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1170.
