President Jimmy Carter’s funeral in January 2025 brought together all five of the living American presidents: Trumpf, Obama, President Biden, former President Clinton and former President George W. Bush. Only Obama took the time to chat with Trumpf and they actually exchanged witticisms and pleasantries.
The most under-qualified person to ever lead an intelligence organization anywhere on the planet, Hare Krishna offshoot sect member Tulsi Gabbard, released a declassified report spuriously alleging that former President Barack Obama was involved in a seditious conspiracy against Donald Trumpf.
For years Donald Trumpf suggested falsely for years that Obama was not born in the US and shouldn’t have been eligible to be president, and has repeatedly accused Obama of spying on his 2016 campaign. Trumpf had previously revoked the security clearances for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and a string of top Democrats and political foes, including Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger and NYAG Letitia James, who prosecuted Trumpf for fraud, as well as former president Biden’s entire family. Trump stripped Joe Biden of access to the Presidential Daily Brief (PDF), a custom granted to ex-POTUS for decades, but he had not stripped Obama of this privilege. This will most likely change.
These maneuvers from the Trumpf junta are all meant to distract attention away from the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) which will kill thousands of Americans with their budget cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, Trumpf’s inability to reach peace deals between the Israelis and Palestinians, Ukraine and Russia, the horrific police state besieging Americans, the internal witchhunt for undesirables in the USIC, and most importantly, the badly botched Jeffrey Epstein files which would no doubt incriminate Donald Trumpf as a pedophile.
FBI agents were ordered to flag every mention of Trumpf’s name in the vast holdings which USAG Pam Bondi will not release.
The Jeffrey Epstein FBI Records and the Trumpf Junta: “Tick-tick-tick…”
Tulsi Gabbard Dangerous Selection to be Director of National Intelligence

A former member of Tulsi Gabbard’s secretive Hawaiʻi religious sect warned members of Congress about the potential dangers of confirming Tulsi Gabbard as the next DNI.
Anita van Duyn says she spent 15 years inside the Science of Identity Foundation, a fringe offshoot of Hare Krishna that was formed in the 1970s and has been described by defectors as a cult.
Van Duyn has sent letters to Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, detailing Gabbard’s deep ties to the organization and its reclusive founder, Chris Butler, who still resides in a multimillion-dollar beachfront home in Kailua.
An Iranian woman experienced a severe panic attack while masked ICE agents arrested her husband near an area known as “Tehrangeles” because of its large Iranian population. The woman called her pastor, Ara Torosian, to help intervene, but he could do little as he watched her panic attack escalate into convulsions.
The woman lay on the ground spasming while ICE agents hovered over her, not knowing what to do, such as calling for an ambulance. Torosian can be heard pleading with them to administer medical aid. He can also be heard asking whether they know about the situation in Iran and why Christian Iranians fear returning to their native country. The woman and her husband are members of his church and entered the US last year under Joe Biden’s CBP One program which President Donald Trumpf ended this year.
Followers of the Watch, be warned. The following video is disturbing and your heart breaks watching the terrified woman enter into spasms during her conniption.
The ragbag decals and non-uniform equipment indicates that these goons are the deputized ICE officers under Dotard Trumpf’s Executive Orders to expand the number of DHS personnel.
Breadwinner Father of Two Dies After Frenzied ICE Raid

Farm worker Jaime Alanís (57) died from injuries he sustained after falling from a greenhouse roof during an ICE raid of a California cannabis farm. He was a “hard-working, innocent farmer” and the sole provider for his wife and daughter, his family says.
Alanís died a day after a frenzied immigration raid of Glass House Farms in Ventura county where authorities arrested at least 200 workers. The 57-year-old, who was from the town of Huajúmbaro in Michoacán, Mexico, is the first known person to die during the Trumpf junta’s enhanced immigration enforcement operations in southern California. Migrants have died in detention in other parts of the US, including a poor Haitian woman in Florida.
Irishman Overstays Visa By Three Days Detained by ICE for Three Months
A 35-year-old Irishman dressed in an orange jumpsuit watched coverage of Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s visit to the White House while detained in an ICE gulag. His hands and feet were cuffed at the time of the televised St Patrick’s Day celebrations as he was being moved, he said, adding that it was a moment he will “never forget.”
The man, who wished to be identified as Thomas, returned home to Ireland in late March. He had been detained by ICE for about 100 days in total in three separate facilities because he overstayed three days on his visa.
Thomas, who works in the tech sector, travelled to the US to visit his girlfriend in West Virginia late last year under the ESTA visa waiver program which allows tourists to visit the US for a maximum of 90 days. However, after seriously injuring his calf, he was advised to avoid flying for at least eight weeks due to a risk of blood clots, which meant his stay would exceed the 90 days.
After overstaying his travel by three days, Thomas, who had booked a flight home for the following week was arrested by ICE agents after suffering a mental health episode while in a hotel. Thomas had received extensive inpatient treatment for mental health difficulties in Ireland shortly before travelling, and did not have access to his medication while in the US for several weeks,
Now banned from travelling to the US for ten years, Thomas said those visiting should take immigration rules “very seriously”.
An Irish woman visiting her sick father in Ireland was detained at the Tacoma ICE facility. Cliona Ward is a green card holder and has been living in Santa Cruz, California for 30 years, but was locked up for a 2007 drug conviction that was vacated. ICE agents detained her when she returned to the US after landing in San Francisco.
AUSA Subpoenas New Jersey Governor Over Protecting Migrants
NJ Governor Phil Murphy was also US Ambassador to Germany. A third generation Irishman, his parents were enthusiastic supporters of JFK.
Alina Habba, who has used her job as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor to aggressively target Democrats, is pursuing an investigation into remarks made by Gov. Philip D. Murphy about housing a migrant.
Mr. Murphy said in February that he was prepared to house a woman whose immigration status was unclear at his family’s home in Middletown. FBI agents have since sought to interview at least four witnesses in connection with the comments, two of the people said, with one adding that the governor had been subpoenaed but not questioned.

Alina Babba’s parents, Chaldean Catholics, emigrated from Iraq to the US to escape religious persecution. Note the Iranian family in the preceding story emigrated to the US from Iran to escape religious persecution. So, to the under-whelming Ms. Alina Babba, Coriolanus proudly awards her the below certificate to go along with her ‘law degree’ from the world renowned Widener University Commonwealth Law School in Pennsylvania. Who? Where?What school?
“The ocean is facing an unprecedented crisis due to climate change, plastic pollution, ecosystem loss, and the overuse of marine resources,” Li Junhua, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, who is also serving as Secretary-General of the event.
The crisis isn’t a distant threat: it’s happening now. In April, global sea surface temperatures hit their second-highest levels ever for that month, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. Meanwhile, the most extensive coral bleaching event in recorded history is underway — sweeping across the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, and parts of the Pacific. More than a single event, it’s a planetary unraveling.
Coral reefs, which sustain a quarter of all marine species and underpin billions in tourism and fisheries, are vanishing before our eyes. Their collapse could unleash cascading effects on biodiversity, food security, and climate resilience.
And the damage runs deeper still. The ocean continues to absorb more than 90% of excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions — a worldwide service that may be nearing its limits. “Challenges like plastic pollution, overfishing, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, and warming are all linked to climate change,” Mr. Li warned.
Heat Threatening Sea Life in Mediterranean Sea
A recent ocean heatwave in the Mediterranean Sea has been so intense scientists fear potentially devastating consequences for marine life.
The temperature of the sea surface regularly passed 30C off the coast of Majorca and elsewhere in late June and early July, in places six or seven degrees above usual.
Balmy temperatures can pose hidden threats. Harmful bacteria and algae often spread more easily in warmer seawater. Most life has a temperature threshold beyond which it can’t survive, though it varies a lot between species and individuals.
But sea creatures can also suffer from prolonged heat exposure, which essentially drains their energy through the summer to a point where they can no longer cope.
Seaweeds and seagrasses act a bit like the forests of the Mediterranean Sea, home to hundreds of species, as well as locking up planet-warming carbon dioxide. Some of them are well adapted to typical Mediterranean warm temperatures, but actually they often cannot withstand marine heatwave conditions, which are becoming more extreme and widespread. The heat can also cause what ecologists call “sub-lethal effects”, where species essentially go into survival mode and don’t reproduce.
Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) in Mediterranean
The fast-warming Mediterranean Sea is “a canary in the coal mine for climate change and marine ecosystems,” a marine biologist grimly warned.
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.
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:
President Trump seriously just claimed that Vladimir Putin fought in World War II.

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.
Below are the zealots whose excellent national healthcare and social security system the hardworking American taxpayer has been subsidizing for decades. Israel’s retirement pension system is ranked third best in the world with a ‘B’ while the US is ranked at ‘C+’. Why the American taxpayer would send a shekel to people doing better than him is a mystery to Coriolanus. And lest we forget our Servicemembers in USCENTCOM AOR are now in harm’s way (again) from Iranian proxy reprisals in the Middle East because of these lunatics:
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 Metrewelihas 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.
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.
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:
Footage of the Minnesota assassin Vance Luther Boelter, a life long registered republican and "Christian" nationalist incel that hated women. He's 100% MAGA.
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.
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
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.
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.
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Canada: Samaritan Couple Rescue Beautiful Collie from Demisein 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 collieon 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.
Donald Trump (AKA Dotard Trumpf) demonstrated again why he has been ranked as the worst president of all time, coinciding with his exponentially growing unpopularity at home and abroad. Trumpf has the lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years. This latest episode of the Trumpf saga is further evidence of his manifest ineptitude.
Before departing for the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome, the Dotard posted this message on social media:
“Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome. We look forward to being there!”
Who or what in the universe looks forward to attending a funeral?
Against all protocol and common sense, the President of the United States inexcusably didn’t wear black unlike every single mourner at the solemn ritual, standing out like a peacock in his bright blue suit:
Somehow egotistical Dotard Trumpf got a front row seat to the ceremonies when Vatican and monarchial protocol dictated he should have been seated in the third row. But Trumpf’s ego worked to his own humiliation as he was verbally attacked to his face during the homily for Pope Francis. The Dotard’s signature policy was rebuked in front of an audience of millions watching live around the world:
“Pope Francis incessantly raised his voice, imploring peace and calling for reason and honest negotiation to find possible solutions. Build bridges, not walls, was an exhortation he repeated many times,” Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re sermonized in his homily.
The barb was clearly aimed right between the eyes of Dotard Trumpf.
In 2017, the late Pontiff had lectured Trumpf about compassion, the environment, and humility, which all fell on deaf ears anyway. Look at the expression on the face of the first Jesuit pope standing beside the smiling oligarch:
The humiliation for the First Couple continued when Trumpf was photographed sleeping during the ceremonies. Below, note the expression on Melania Trumpf’s face (AKA Melanoma Trumpf) as she clutches her heart in disbelief and then looks away in disgust. A wider shot of this photograph shows a mourner behind them staring at the Dotard as if he may be snoring.
This was the first time Trumpf slept next to his wife in years.
In 2016, Republican supporters of Trumpf loudly applauded when he demeaned Hillary Clinton as “low energy” and in 2020 MAGAts vigorously cheered when the Dotard slandered President Biden as “Sleepy Joe.”
Inexplicably, Melanoma Trumpf did not prevent her husband from his garish faux pas of wearing blue to a funeral, nor did she make any efforts to keep the Dotard awake during these solemn rites.
Canada: Lunatic Kills Eleven by Ramming SUV Into Crowd at Filipino Street Festival in Vancouver
At least nine people were killed and an unknown number were injured when a 30-year-old man drove into a crowd at a Filipino heritage festival in the Canadian city of Vancouver on Saturday. The event celebrates a Filipino martyr who stood up to Spanish colonization in the 16th century. Video shows a young man in a black hoodie with his back against a chain link fence, alongside a security guard and surrounded by bystanders screaming and swearing at him. “I’m sorry,” the suspect says, holding his hand to his head. Vancouver has 38,600 residents of Filipino heritage (5.9% of the city’s total population).
Almost exactly seven years ago on 23 April 2018, an InCel lunatic rammed his into a crowd in Toronto. 25-year-old Alek Minassian targeted pedestrians, killing 11 and injuring 15, some critically. The 2018 Toronto incident was the deadliest vehicle-ramming attack in Canadian history. This maniac in Vancouver may end up outkilling Alek Minassian if more of the injured die while in hospital.
UN: World Food Program Runs Out of Food Stocks in Gaza

The UN World Food Program (WFP) has depleted all its food stocks in Gaza as Israel continues to block the entry of all humanitarian aid into the enclave, home to over two million people. WFP delivered its last remaining supplies to kitchens preparing hot meals. For weeks, hot meal kitchens have been the only consistent source of food assistance for people in the Warsaw Ghetto of the Middle East. Despite reaching just half the population with only 25% of daily food needs, they have provided a critical lifeline.
When victims die of purposeful neglect, untreated wounds, starvation, or unchecked disease, this is called ‘NHI’ or ‘No Humans Involved.’ When Mother Nature kills off these sick or starving Palestinians, Israel can argue that no humans were involved in their deaths.
Murder-Death-Kill Continues in Gaza: IDF Slay 48 and Maim 152 in Past 24 Hours
Since 7 Oct 2023, the IDF has killed 51,355 Palestinians and injured or maimed 117,248. The death toll after US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) capitulated on the heinous GOP budget on 18 March, releasing billions of dollars of free money to Israel, is 1,978 and 5,207 injured. That very weekend in March, Trumpf enjoyed watching USCENTCOM forces attack the Houthis, who he derided as “savages.” The Dotard then waddled over to his cart which drove him to his chukka of golf. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC remains active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) also at the Hague has charged Israel with administering brutal, racist apartheid on Palestinians.
Iran: 800 People Injured and 65 People Killed in Powerful Explosion
The blast took place at the southern Shahid Rajaee port in Bandar Abbas, Iran’s largest commercial port and was reportedly linked to a shipment of a chemical ingredient used to make missile propellant. The explosion occurred just as Iran and the US met Saturday in Oman for the third round of negotiations over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program. The Dotard Trumpf’s chief negotiator, sycophantic oligarch Steve Witkoff, a man with no diplomatic experience, is also negotiating with Vladimir Putin. No one in Iran outright suggested that the explosion came from an attack. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who led the talks, acknowledged that “our security services are on high alert given past instances of attempted sabotage and assassination operations designed to provoke a legitimate response.”

As you read previously here on Coriolanus, an explosion destroyed a rocket manufacturing facility in Utah several weeks ago. Working with powerful, volatile fuels is dangerous and both of these incidents could have been accidents. But sabotage should not be ruled out, particularly with this curious Iranian explosion.
Ukraine to Continue Fighting With or Without Trumpf
“Russia is waging small-scale assaults across the entire front, but the situation on the battlefield is nowhere near bad enough for Ukraine to be forced into an unfavorable peace deal, military analysts and soldiers told the Kyiv Independent.
Since Ukraine announced the start of the Russian spring offensive in early April, Moscow has made “incremental gains” in multiple sectors of the front at a high cost, but achieving a breakthrough seems unlikely.”
Russian losses in the meatgrinder since brutally invading Ukraine in Feb 2022: 948,720 personnel, 370 aircraft, 335 helicopters, and 10,719 tanks.Europe has committed to defending Ukraine in the absence of Kremlin-controlled Trumpf and Russian casualties will reach one million in 2026.
Below, the Russian ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechaev was booed at the WWII commemoration event in Germany after showing up uninvited:

The Russian security services tortured a Ukrainian journalist and 30 are still being held by the Kremlin. While Trumpf and President Zelensky conferred in Rome before Pope Francis’ interment; no details of the meeting are available at this time and most likely nothing was accomplished. Aeroflot remains sanctioned from flying to the US despite rigorous Russian lobbying. North Korea finally admitted to sending cannon-fodder to die in Russia. Dotard Trumpf’s favorite restaurant, McDonald’s, registers its trademark in Russia.
Russian General Neutralized with Powerful IED in Moscow
The late General Yaroslav Moskalik now sings with the choir invisible.
General Yaroslav Moskalik (59), in charge of Ukraine operations at the Russian Ministry of Defense, was rendered ineffective by a powerful IED. A vehicle parked in the courtyard of a residential building detonated as Moskalik passed by. The explosion reportedly threw the general several meters away. Two other unidentified persons may have been killed or injured.

The son of CIA Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Julianne Gallina Gloss and Iraq war veteran Larry Gloss was killed fighting for Russia in Ukraine in 2024. Michael Gloss (21) was travelling around Europe before arriving in Russia on 13 Aug 2023. On his Vkontakte page bio, Michael Gloss wrote: “I ran away from home and traveled the world. I hate fascism.”
The release did not note which country Bendler betrayed the US to. As a senior CIA executive, the defendant had access to a treasure trove of secrets. Bendler may have jeopardized US national security and his own robust pension for 30 pieces of silver. The traitor is reportedly a Trumpf supporter, so a remote opportunity exists for a potential pardon in the future.

Any mother would be simply delighted to have her daughter come home with any of these above Prince Charmings. As if is people weren’t terrified enough of Trumpf’s police state, these lunatics came out of the woodwork. Recall the maniac who stalked the Ukrainians in the Pacific Northwest with a phony ICE vehicle a few weeks ago.
An indictment is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Trumpf Junta Wants States to Pursue Death Penalties
After President Biden commuted federal death row sentences, several Republican district attorneys have considered charging former death row prisoners with state charges, per Trumpf’s 20 Jan 2025 executive order. The Dotard called on the USAG to determine whether former federal death row inmates “can be charged with State capital crimes.”
Nota Bene: While President Jimmy Carter’s first executive order on 20 Jan 1977 was to mercifully pardon all Vietnam War draft evaders, one of this fascist’s first orders was for the states to find ways to unmercifully execute people.
Luigi Mangione Pleads Not Guilty to Federal Charges
Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty to a four-count indictment charging him in the murder of oligarch Brian Thompson during his arraignment in SDNY. Mangione entered the Manhattan federal courtroom shackled at the ankles as if he was a dangerous ISIS operative with a black belt in karate. Mangione allegedly murdered the greedy CEO because of the well-documented ‘profits over people’ policy at UnitedHealthCare which cost thousands of Americans not only their savings, but their lives. The late Brian Thompson’s UHC is rated one of the worst health insurance companies on the planet and should be drawn and quartered.
US Attorney-General Pam Bondi.
Bloodthirsty USAG Pam Bondi can’t wait to send Luigi Mangione to Dr Jack Kevorkian’s ‘Thanatron’ in Terre Haute, IN, if he’s found guilty. This ghoul would would like to see more executions throughout the US.
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Israel had planned to strike Iranian nuclear sites as soon as next month but was waved off by Donald Trumpf in recent weeks in favor of negotiating a deal with Tehran to limit its nuclear program, according to press reports. Trumpf claims he made his decision after months of internal debate over whether to pursue diplomacy or support Israel in seeking to set back Iran’s ability to build a bomb, at a time when Iran has been weakened militarily and economically.
Has Donald Trumpf been in office long enough to “internally debating” this issue from his golf resorts?
The Reality
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian meet at the Kremlin in Moscow on 17 Jan 2025. (Photo: Vyacheslav Prokofyev / Pool via AFP)
While Benjamin Netanyahu can’t wait to get the US to help him destroy Iran’s infrastructure, Trumpf has another master in the Kremlin. Tehran and Moscow signed a twenty-year cooperation treaty and are economically enmeshed. Iran has been sending Shaheed drones to Russia for three years in its brutal war on Ukraine. As predicted, Donald Trumpf cannot please two masters at the same time, so Vladimir Putin trumps Benjamin Netanyahu on the issue of attacking Iran. For now, Netanyahu will just have to settle for the hardworking American taxpayer wasting billions on obliterating the Shia Houthis, as that won’t affect the Kremlin’s investments or interests in Iran.
‘Attacking Hodeidah is a deliberate act of cruelty by the Trumpf junta.‘
The Ras Isa fuel port on fire following US airstrikes (photo from social media via Al Mayadeen)
US forces bombed the Ras Isa fuel port in Yemen’s Red Sea province of Hodeidah, targeting the facility with two attacks that killed dozens of civilian workers and paramedics. At least 80 people, including at least five paramedics, were killed, and 150 were wounded. The paramedics were hit by a second US attack on the facility that came after rescue workers had already arrived at the scene to help victims of the first strikes. Targeting medical personnel is a war crime according to the Geneva Convention.
Attacking the starving (Shia) Houthis also pleases (Sunni) Muhammad Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. But as you will see below, besides killing Houthis, Trumpf makes it up to ‘Bibi’ by doing something else nefarious for him.
An outstanding international arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) remain active for Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Columbia University Dean of SIPA Former IDF Intelligence Officer
Dr. Keren Yarhi-Milo poses with Hillary Clinton during Clinton’s 2023 guest teaching stint at Columbia University.With thousands of Palestinians being butchered in Gaza in 2023, what did these two find so hilarious?(Photo: Public domain)
Dr. Keren Yarhi-Milo, Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University, is a former IDF intelligence officer and an official at Israel’s UN Mission in NYC. Yarhi-Milo played a significant role in drumming up public hysteria about a supposed wave of intolerable anti-Semitism sweeping over the campus during Israel’s Nakba against the Palestinians in 2023 and 2024. Dr Yarhi-Milo laid the groundwork for the extensive nationwide crackdown on civil liberties and ICE detentions, including Mahmoud Khalil.
Pro-Israel billionaires and oligarchs have donated $100 million to Columbia University and they are getting their money’s worth.
The Trumpf junta is also appointing anti-Palestinian politicians to national security positions. As a nod to Benjamin Netanyahu and AIPAC, Trumpf nominated Israeli-born Yehuda Kaploun as the United States Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, Ambassador-at-Large. And joining the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HRAC) are Fox News contributor Mark Levin and South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R). DHS will now be screening alien’s social media activity for antisemitism.
Now we know why Dotard Trumpf mistakenly called called General H.R. McMaster– he meant to call Governor H.R. McMaster (see last post).
Yehuda Kaploun and his wife with ethnic cleanser Dotard Trumpf.
Israel is erasing any vestiges of the Palestinians, similar to the 19th-century genocide of the indigenous peoples of the New World, and the Trumpf junta is aiding and abetting this atrocity full steam ahead. What land will be left for the Palestinians and how many of them will be left after four years of Netanyahu and Trumpf pummeling them?
Another horrific example of Israel’s punishing cruelty is the late Fatima Hassouna (25).

US National Security Council To Be Staffed By MAGA Cultists
The White House is starting to rebuild the NSC with aides that are staunchly aligned with Trumpf’s Make America Great Again agenda. Derek Harvey, a military intelligence analyst and retired US Army colonel, is expected to be named senior director for intelligence.
“Always, we’re letting go of people,” Trumpf told reporters about the firings of aides to National Security Adviser Mike Waltz in the wake of the Signal group chat controversy. “People that we don’t like, or people that we don’t think can do the job, or people that may have loyalties to somebody else.”
The man selected to lead the National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC) is a former CIA officer associated with white supremacist paramilitary organizations. DNI nominated Joe Kent, a failed Republican politician who never won a race, to lead this important position.
White supremacist Joe Kent is vastly underqualified to lead the NCTC, a Senate-confirmed position. (Public domian image)
Followers of the Watch, Coriolanus is proud to have personally worked with a genuine analyst decades ago who would later go on to lead the NCTC, Ms. Christy Abizaid:
Former D/NCTC Christy Abizaid.
Purges continue in the US government and Coriolanus is doing his best to provide you the more interesting or impactful cases, like this vignette below, involving the manifestly underqualified USSECSTATE Marco Rubio.
6 Jan terrorist Peter Marocco, the Trumpf junta apparatchik in charge of dismantling USAID, left a meeting at the White House last week to return to his office at the State Department. But when he arrived, Marocco could not enter the building: security told him he was no longer an employee there. Word of Marocco’s firing quickly tore through the GOP and MAGA ecosystem, startling Trumpf’s loyalists who viewed the aide as part of an elite cohort of administration true believers. Loud voices on the right piled on Marco Rubella, accusing him of undermining their disruptive agenda. Rubella has also differed with Trumpf regarding Ukraine and Russia.
Just as the Third Reich cowardly eliminated their enemies, so does the Trumpf junta by not addressing the victims to their face. Employees are terminated by email or surprise, like Peter Marocco, who deserved his fate.
The NSC will undergo a dramatic Islamophobic and anti-NATO realignment, rife with faulty analysis and bellicose policy decisions– an AIPAC dream come true. When Democrats return to power, they should immediately rescind the over-abused POTUS Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF). The damage this right-wing NSC will cause will take years for Democrats to repair while Ukrainians suffer and the Palestinian population and their lands will be further reduced.

1) After ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin announced an ‘Easter ceasefire’ with Kiev, Russian forces carried out 387 attacks and 19 assaults. Ukrainian casualty counts are still being tabulated. 2) China is supplying weapons to Russia, including gunpowder and artillery, and Chinese representatives are involved in weapons production on Russian territory, Ukraine’s president President Volodomir Zelensky announced. 3) Fascist Viktor Orban of Hungary is urging countries against Ukraine’s ascension into the EU. The Putin acolyte vowed not to let Brussels “force” Budapest to accept Kiev’s EU membership, lying that Ukraine’s entry would harm Hungary’s economy. 4) A prisoner exchange with the Kremlin returned 277 Ukrainian POWs and 246 Russian EPWs. Most of the Ukrainians had been held in captivity for nearly three years. The Russian EPWs were most likely not undernourished like the Ukrainian POWs. 5) Christopher Smith is expected to become the US Ambassador to Ukraine. From 2022-23 he served as deputy chief of mission in Kiev. Bio: 2021-2025.state.gov
Trumpf’s Ukraine ceasefire is slipping away, a war he promised his supporters and the world that he would end within a day.
Dotard Trumpf is a “Soviet leaders’ dream” according to a leading Russian scholar. Writing in a weekly Russian newspaper, the scholar praised the actions of Trumpf for “driving a wedge” between the US and “the European part of NATO.” Other Russian news outlets echoed these sentiments. Moskovsky Komsomolets described the actions of Trumpf as “destroying the world created by American liberals.” In another newspaper, Russian Duma Senator Alexei Pushkov wrote: “None of the steps Trumpf has taken threatens Russia’s interests directly.”
The Economist was much more charitable in their assessment of Trumpf:
“The American president increasingly looks like Russia’s willing dupe.”

Ex-NYPD Sergeant Sentenced as Illegal Agentfor China
Michael McMahon on his way to trial. (Photo: Public domain)
A former NYPD sergeant was sentenced to 1-1/2 years in prison for acting as an illegal Chinese agent. Michael McMahon (57) was hired as a private investigator to surveil a New Jersey resident as part of a global campaign by Chinese law enforcement to repatriate alleged criminals living abroad, known as Operation Fox Hunt. Two of McMahon’s co-defendants were similarly sentenced. McMahon said he thought he was working for a company seeking to recover embezzled funds, and would not have taken the job if he knew the Chinese government was behind it. “I was unwittingly used,” McMahon testified.
China Monitors Its Citizens Worldwide
An NYPD officer with McMahon’s experience should have known better, as he’s not operating in a vacuum of knowledge about China and their oppressive system. Retired NYPD officers enjoy a healthy pension, pistol permits, and access to a tremendous network of gumshoes and security companies in the Big Apple, which McMahon flushed away.
Powerful Explosion at Northrop Grumman’s Utah Rocket Facility
A powerful explosion destroyed part of Northrop Grumman’s solid rocket motor production facility in Promontory, UT. Unbelievably, no serious injuries resulted from the blast which sent shockwaves through the surrounding area. The facility, known as “Rocket Ranch,” is a cornerstone of the US solid rocket motor (SRM) production capability and plays a central role in some of the nation’s most critical defense and space programs. An investigation and safety review are underway.
Trumpf has been in office three months and he has a 43% approval and 55% disapproval rating. Nearly 70% of CEOs disapprove of Trumpf’s tariffs, including oligarch Felon Musk. Trumpf was already named the worst president of all time (Joe Biden was ranked 14th greatest).
‘President Plane Crash’ Meme for Trumpf Mostly True
During the National Prayer Breakfast at the US Capitol, Trumpf mentioned the aviation disaster in which 67 people lost their lives after an American Airlines flight collided with a Black Hawk US Army Helicopter near Ronald Reagan National Airport — and compared the odds of a helicopter and plane colliding to golf balls striking one another on a golf driving range:
“I guess the helicopter was high, and we will find out exactly what happened,” he said. “But the odds even if you had nothing, nobody, the odds of that happening are extremely small. You go to a driving range in golf and hit hundreds of balls, thousands of hours.”
He added, “I’ve never seen a ball hit another ball. … Balls going up all over the place, you never see them hit. It was amazing that could happen. There were a lot of mistakes made. It should’ve never happened.”
Besides this imbecilic comparison of an aviation tragedy to hitting golf balls, Trumpf and Felon Musk’s DOGE team began slashing the federal budget, including the FAA. Concern grew that American aviation would become unsafe. After another plane crash occurred shortly after the Washington calamity and the budget cuts, the internet meme “President Plane Crash” went viral. Remarkably, the pundits and aviation analysts were correct.
Just over 100 days in, 2025 is already the deadliest year for US aviation since 2001. Fear of flying has spiked with 29% Americans now thinking it is unsafe to travel by plane. Analysis reveals such concerns are not entirely unfounded. While the 21 accidents recorded up to 10 April are lower than the 24 recorded by this point last year ” the number of aviation fatalities in 2025 exceed that of the past 15 years combined. There have been 83 fatalities on civilian airliners in the US so far this year, making up 63% of the global total of 131. And this is not inclusive of helicopter crashes, so the overall aviation total is even higher. The rate of fatalities per month is, as such, ten times higher in 2025 relative to 2024.

Belize: US Hijacker Shot Dead Aboard Small Passenger Plane
A US man has been shot dead after hijacking a small passenger plane in the Caribbean nation of Belize. Fourteen passengers were on board the aircraft when Akinyela Sawa Taylor took control of the flight at knifepoint. Two passengers were injured, including one who was stabbed in the back.
Taylor ordered the pilot to take him out of the country, but was then shot in the chest by another passenger. The hijacker’s motives are unclear, but Taylor had previously been refused entry into Belize. How Taylor was able to get through its borders is unclear as is how another passenger was able to board the flight with a loaded firearm.
Akinyela Sawa Taylor is allegedly a US military veteran and he could have been suffering from PTSD and/or have been under the influence of drugs.
In another unrelated mystery that was recently solved in Belize, in Feb 2025 three American women were found dead in a beach resort in Belize. Officials first investigated the deaths as possible drug overdoses. Belize police identified the women as Kaoutar Naqqad (23), Imane Mallah (24), and Wafae El-Arar (26), who were staying at the Royal Kahal Beach Resort. Note: Carbon monoxide detectors are not legally required in homes and businesses in Belize, so many hotels and lodgings do not have carbon monoxide detectors. People have suffered adverse effects or died from exposure to carbon monoxide in Belize and indeed, forensic investigators determined in March that was the cause of their tragic and useless deaths.
The Trumpf police state is settling in well in the US, stamping out dissent, deporting undesirables in defiance of the judiciary branch, and firing disloyal employees. The Trumpf junta is using distractions while Felon Musk’s notorious DOGE and the oligarchs pilfer America’s wealth without oversight. Moreover, Trumpf’s erratic and Narcissus-like behavior is leading to unintended consequences on the social fabric of the US, as well as the global economy.
The White House budget office has taken down its website where approvals of federal funding provided in appropriations laws are statutorily required to be posted for public viewing, a move likely to face major blowback from members of Congress and government watchdogs.
This blatant move is to conceal the incredible amounts of money the Trumpf regime is both wasting and transferring to their own coffers, as you will read below.
IRS To Share Tax Information with ICE
Acting commissioner of the IRS Melanie Krause announced plans to resign after a controversial agreement was reached between the DHS and the IRS to allow ICE access to taxpayer data. Krause, who has been serving as the acting IRS head, learned of the agreement only after it was publicly released by the Treasury Department, prompting her decision to step down. The deal allows ICE to request taxpayer information to aid in deporting illegal immigrants who have failed to comply with court orders to leave the US. This arrangement has sparked concerns over privacy violations and the potential misuse of sensitive taxpayer data.
America’s electronic gulag just became larger. The US is heading towards a future where any federal law-enforcement officer in the US conducting a “Terry stop” or border inspection will see whether the person has debts, unpaid civil fines, delinquent taxes, or outstanding school/auto/home loans.
DOGE Using AI to Spy on Federal Employees: “They are Omnipresent”
US federal government employees have either been told outright by their superiors that they are spied on or they have been notified of new monitoring software being installed on computers.
Col. Susannah Meyers, 821st Space Base Group commander (L) greets JD and Usha Vance (Photo: Jaime Sanchez / Space Force)
After VPOTUS JD Vance’s disastrous trip to Greenland, Colonel Meyers, pictured above, was relieved from her command at Pituffik Space Base for sending out this internal email to her personnel which supposedly “undermined JD Vance”:
“I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the US administration discussed by Vice-President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base.”
All DOD systems are monitored for counterintelligence issues, not political dialogue. Either the DOGE AI systems picked up on her innocuous language or somebody in her command informed on her to the Trumpf junta. Either way, this Colonel’s aspirations of making General have been thoroughly destroyed.
DOGE Physically Ejects Senior Executive from Office
Two days after the Social Security Administration (SSA) purposely and falsely labeled 6,100 living immigrants as dead, DOGE security guards arrived at the office of a well-regarded senior executive Greg Pearre in the agency’s Woodlawn, MD, headquarters and physically dragged him from his office. Mr. Pearre opposed the scheme cooked up by Felon Musk’s DOGE squad that falsely lists thousands of migrants as dead in a Social Security database known as the “death master file.”
The move essentially cancels an immigrant’s Social Security number and is equivalent to a financial death, as financial institutions rely on updated Social Security data to verify identities and deaths and may cut off access for these individuals.There is no information as to whether Mr. Pearre was hurt fighting back against these fascists.
How Trumpf Gets Away with Murder, Waste, and Larceny
Dotard Trumpf became the first sitting president to attend a Superbowl and a UFC fighting match, like Caligula or Nero attending gladiatorial spectacles of imperial Rome. Sports are the bread and circuses of America, distracting the hoi polloi from the myriad of problems they face, such as unemployment, falling retirement plans, rising food prices, spreading disease, and unstoppable firearm violence. Trumpf’s attendance at these spectacles connect him with the masses, as many Republicans are rabid fans of mixed martial arts. While the public’s attention is affixed with these distractions, the Trumpf junta can waste hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars murdering the starving Shia Houthis in Yemen with expensive munitions on behalf of ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. Trumpf’s tariff threats remain unexposed for what they really are: stock manipulation and insider trading. Lastly, the massive entourage of aides and bodyguards that accompany Trumpf to these national security special events (NSSE) stay and eat at Trumpf properties, a direct transfer of American taxpayer money to the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF).
Cult of Personality Thickens Around Narcissist Trumpf
Trumpf is now mandating junta members wear golden lapel pins as a sign of fealty. Does the Trumpf pinabove look familiar?
Trumpf was livid with the official Colorado State portrait of him and blamed both Democratic Governor Jared Polis and artist Sarah Boardman, slandering them with derogatory remarks.
But as you could see, Ms. Boardman caught the president perfectly:
At the White House, the egomaniacal Dotard Trumpf moved Barack Obama’s portrait to display a painting of his own assassination attempt.
The ethno-supremacist Fourth Reich in America is taking shape thanks to white racist Republicans who voted for egomaniac Trumpf in 2024, a terrible Harris-Walz presidential campaign that didn’t distance itself from genocidal Israel, AIPAC, and Felon Musk. His social media machinations and millions of dollars certainly swayed voters. Over the next four years Americans will watch their civil liberties and national security erode along with their life savings and social safety nets, while the oligarchs enjoy their unneeded trillion dollar tax breaks.
Last month, retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster received an unexpected call on his personal cell. It was from the White House and he was instructed by the voice on the other end to stand by for the president. Trumpf fired McMaster after 13 months as his national security adviser during his first reign of terror.
Just a day earlier on 2 Mar, Trumpf had lobbed his latest insult at McMaster, blasting him on social media as a “weak and totally ineffective loser.” McMaster had also just appeared on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” where he voiced skepticism about Trumpf’s relationship with ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin.
“Henry…” is how Trumpf opened the call before launching into the conversation.
But Lt. Gen. McMaster goes by H.R., short for Herbert Raymond. Not Henry.
“Mr. President, this is H.R. McMaster,” he said into the phone.
“Why the f*** would I talk to H.R. McMaster?” Trumpf asked dismissively and launched into a scathing critique of his former aide. The dotard intended to call South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, not his former national security adviser.
Trumpf Unable to Recall Details of Cognitive Test
Dotard Trumpf unable to hold hands with ICC-indicted criminal Rodrigo Duterte in Vietnam, 2017.
The 47th POTUS was unable to recall the details of the cognitive test he took as part of his physical last Friday, “but he assured reporters that he got all the answers right.” Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One about his annual physical, Trumpf was asked about the cognitive assessment included in his annual doctor’s visit.
While he seemed unable “or unwilling” to recall specific details, he told the press, “It’s a pretty well known test. Whatever it is. I got every one right.” He added that he took the test because he “wanted to be a little different than [President Joe] Biden,” who faced significant scrutiny during his term for showing signs of cognitive decline. Of his health overall, Trump said, “I felt I was in very good shape. Good heart. A good soul. Very good soul.”
According to the results, Trumpf is on two medications for cholesterol control (Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe), taking Aspirin for cardiac prevention and he also uses Mometasone cream as needed for a skin condition. As for his weight, the 6-foot-3 politician weighs 224 lbs. During his last physical as president in 2020, he weighed 244 lbs.
Trumpf Had Prior Reputation for Poor Intellect
Dotard Trumpf boasted that University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League institution, was “one of the hardest schools to get into in the country.” James A. Nolan, the admissions officer who interviewed young Donald, (a friend of Trumpf’s father Fred) said that UPenn was taking 40% percent of all applicants (and this is during the Vietnam War). Nolan described Donald as “definitely not a super genius.” Mr. Nolan added: “I wish I hadn’t interviewed him. In retrospect, I wish I hadn’t done that.”
In 2024, Republicans and many Democrats targeted President Joe Biden because of his age, questioning his cognitive skills, which ushered in youthful, energetic VPOTUS Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate. But the 2024 Democratic ticket lost approximately six million voters between 2020 and 2024. Why? Because many Americans are sick of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Candidate Harris made some obligatory remarks about the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza, but did not say she would place an arms embargo on the Pariah State or stop the annual flow of billions of dollars to wealthy Israel which has been killing Palestinians for decades. Joe Biden’s or Dotard Trumpf’s age had little to do with the catastrophe the Democrats brought upon themselves and the American people.

ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu condemned PM Mark Carney after a voter at a rally shouted: “There is a genocide happening in Palestine!” to which PM Carney replied: “I’m aware, which is why we have an arms embargo.” Netanyahu called on Mr. Carney to retract what he called an irresponsible statement.’ “Canada has always sided with civilization. So should Mr. Carney,” Netanyahu posted on Felon Musk’s ‘X.’ “Instead of supporting Israel, a democracy that is fighting a just war with just means against the barbarians of Hamas, he attacks the one and only Jewish state.” People have disrupted every one of Mr. Carney’s public events last week as he has been campaigning for the 28 April federal election. Israel has killed more than 50,800 Palestinians, wounded or maimed over 100,000, and reduced much of Gaza to ruins.And Netanyahu is the one who calls the Palestinian resistance ‘barbarians.’ Hmph.
PM Mark Carney had better learn the bitter lessons of the 2024 Democratic Party. Mr. Carney should immediately recognize the State of Palestine and restore diplomatic relations with Iran, which was recklessly severed by Conservative PM Stephen Harper years ago. That idiotic move was made to appease the Republican George W. Bush administration which cost Canadian intelligence a set of eyes and ears in the Islamic Republic, as well as Ottawa’s ability to influence the Iranian regime. The time to break the Trumpf-Putin-Netanyahu-Musk Axis of Evil is now.
Leaked Audio Reveals AIPAC Has “Stranglehold” on Trumpf Junta’s National Security Team
The Grayzone obtained leaked audio from AIPAC’s 2025 Congressional Summit in which the organization’s Executive Director Elliot Brandt boasted that his group had groomed several top Trumpf national security officials, and is able to “access” their conversations to ensure they continue adhering to Israel’s agenda. Followers of the Watch, you have to hear this to believe it.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) must be the first politician Democrats vote out in a primary. He capitulated on the GOP budget which unleashed fresh hell on the Palestinians and the Shia Houthis in Yemen. Note that Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and NYC Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) do not receive a penny from AIPAC. You may use the links below to see which American politicians support ethnic cleansing in Israel or the NRA, which helps kill thousands of Americans by promoting unfettered access to firearms.

Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi accused ‘X’ of covering up Russian war crimes by blocking information about Ukrainian children killed in the invasion. Tykhyi shared a post from the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry on 11 Apr, revealing that Russian forces had killed 616 Ukrainian children and injured 1,869 since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. The post was flagged as “graphic content” by social network X, which then restricted access to the image: pbs.twimg.com
In 2024, the Worst Person in the World cut off Nelson Mandela’s grandson’s ‘X’ account when he visited the Gaza Strip, helping to cover up Netanyahu’s war crimes against the Palestinian people.
JD Vance’s comments referring to Chinese nationals as “peasants” ignited a firestorm of criticism in China. The remark was denounced by the Chinese Foreign Ministry as “ignorant and impolite.” Chinese social media erupted with outrage, with users demanding an apology and some calling for Vance to be banned from entering China. Chinese social media users also highlighted the irony of Vance’s comments, given his working-class background detailed in his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy.”
Usha Vance’s family hail from the upper caste in India, stratospherically above the millions of peasants, masses, and Dalits in the sub-continent.
For a man who claims to hold all the cards, Trumpf certainly seems to fold a lot. The ending from the classic 1965 film “The Cincinnati Kid” which is 60 years old, starred the handsome Steve McQueen, and the attractive Ann-Margret and Tuesday Weld, is instructive.
“Gets down to what it’s all about, doesn’t it? Making the wrong move at the right time.”
With Trumpf, it’s making all the wrong moves all the time.
Teenage Cult Member Kills Parents, Plots to Kill Trumpf
Nikita Casap (17)mugshot.Look at the void in his eyes and pock-marked skin.
Nikita Casap (17) from Wisconsin allegedly killed his parents as part of a plot to assassinate Donald Trumpf and overthrow the US government. The murder of his parents appeared to be an effort to attain the “financial means and autonomy” to carry out his plan to incite chaos and ‘save the white race’ from ‘Jewish-controlled’ politicians. Casap faces several felony charges, including two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of hiding a corpse, and conspiracy to assassinate the president and use a WMD. In an average year, 708 people die and 1,686 are wounded by guns in Wisconsin.
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:
I just ate dog food.
It’s human grade. Which means you and your dog can share a tasty, nutrient dense treat together.
On 2 April 2025, the New York Times finally wrote that the police state finally arrived in America. What took them so long?
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.”

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.
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).
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.
Followers of the Watch, Coriolanus is doing his utmost best to keep up with the chaos caused by Vladimir Putin’s protege in the White House, Donald Trumpf (AKA America’s Godzilla).
France President Emmanuel Macron visited the White House and publicly corrected Donald Trumpf about who started the war and European economic support for Ukraine during the past three years of Russia’s brutal invasion. On camera America’s Godzilla lied twice and this meme below captured the exchange perfectly. The link at bottom will take you to the video.
Is there anybody on the planet does NOT know that Trumpf is a Kremlin puppet who threw Ukraine under the bus with this Neville Chamberlain “peace in our time” mineral extortion scheme/peace plan? See below for Ukraine update.
The Dotard-in-Chief reiterated his desire to annex Canada and has vowed to press ahead with 25% tariffs on imports from the country when a one-month reprieve elapses on 4 March. Peter Navarro, a top White House official and convicted felon, proposed expelling Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network to increase pressure on the country.
In addition, Godzilla roared that he would strip security clearances from lawyers at a prominent Washington law firm aiding former Special Counsel Jack Smith, the man who investigated him. Trumpf demanded a review of any federal government work Covington & Burling may have, intensifying his bid to truculently punish his enemies.

Covington & Burling employs high-profile Democratic lawyers who worked in the Obama and Biden administrations. Signing executive orders before reporters in the Oval Office, the twice-impeached and convicted Dotard-in-Chef described the plan to reporters and offered to childishly send the pen he used to Jack Smith, who led two investigations against him as Special Counsel.
To the dismay and shock of thousands of FBI agents, Trumpf hired an unqualified rightwing former podcast propagandist to be Deputy Director. The former USSS agent, Dan Bongino, once called the FBI “irredeemably corrupt. Kash Patel then re-assigned hundreds of FBI agents from Washington, scattering them throughout the US. Across the Potomac River, CIA personnel are conducting damage assessment after a White House email about civil service layoffs appeared to compromise the names of certain undercover officers.
This damage control, reported CNN, is “just one of multiple aftershocks from President Donald Trump’s push to take a jackhammer to the federal government — including the CIA. The administration’s efforts to cut the workforce and audit spending at the CIA and elsewhere threaten to jeopardize some of the government’s most sensitive work, current and former US officials familiar with internal deliberations say.”

As Dame Agatha Christie once wrote: “Who benefits from this crime?” All of these moves by Donald Trumpf benefit Vladimir Putin. Godzilla is weakening America’s internal and external security apparatuses. By relocating FBI agents outside Washington, Trumpf reduces any resistance forces nearby while also making life easier for foreign espionage assets to operate in the National Capital Region (NCR). By alienating Canada and other allies, Putin is watching NATO beginning to fracture. Putin will continue to fund the rightwing in Europe who will parrot his lines about the evils of Ukraine and NATO. Trumpf’s audacious and offensive behavior towards Canada has galvanized their population on both sides of the aisle and their imminent elections will present an anti-Trumpfer from either the Conservative or Labor Party. The international intelligence-sharing architecture once headed by the US presents another separate dilemma. NATO, the remaining Five-Eyes partners, Japan, and South Korea will limit intelligence-sharing with the US. Israel’s Mossad may also be leery about sharing sensitive information with the US. Bilateral intelligence sharing programs exclusive of the US will probably be the way ahead for the Western powers.
What will Trumpf target next? Medicare? VA benefits? Social security? Mexico?
Eliasfov is accused of aiding an enemy in war, providing information that could benefit the enemy, contact with a foreign agent, aggravated forgery and other offenses. Andreyev is charged with contact with a foreign agent, vandalism and tampering with evidence. Neither has a previous criminal record.
According to the indictment filed in Haifa District Court, Eliasfov served as a technician in the Iron Dome air defense system and later during his reserve service, while Andreyev was a technician at the Israeli Air Force’s operations center and also served in reserves. The two have been friends for years.
The two spray-painted pro-Iranian graffiti in public places across Israel in exchange for $100 in cryptocurrency, photographed the creation and sent the images to “Boaz” before erasing part of the text.
Eliasfov allegedly sent “Boaz” blurred images of sites he claimed were military locations, receiving payment. He later offered to sell him weapons.
Between November 1-3 last year, while on reserve duty, Eliasfov recorded the Iron Dome radar screen, capturing classified data on the system’s location. He sent “Boaz” an edited clip containing highly classified information and offered the full video for $10,000, demanding an $800 advance payment.

During his compulsory service, Eliasfov allegedly took eight photos of Iron Dome’s computer systems containing classified data and stored them on his phone, knowing they were highly confidential.
“Boaz” reportedly believed Eliasfov was a commander in the IDF’s elite Egoz unit with military connections. The Iranian agent expressed interest in Israeli Air Force bases, aircraft and specifically Nevatim Airbase, targeted in an Iranian attack last October.
The espionage war between Israel and Iran will continue along with their state of belligerency. Note that Iranian anti-Israeli attitudes intensified after Israel’s invasion of southern Lebanon in the early 1980s which killed thousands of Shiites and led to the creation of Lebanese Hezbollah. When the Shah of Iran was in power, both CIA and Mossad worked and trained the Peacock Throne’s notorious security service, the SAVAK. As you previously read here on Coriolanus, in 2024 Israel’s security services previously rendered ineffective a few other Iranian spy rings. These two suspects are Ashkenazi Jews with Slavic names, like some of the other spies netted by the Shin Bet.
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

“Fourteen out of fifteen! I set a record! We beat the boys!” Marynenko yells out to her class.
Marynenko and her classmates fired the simulated weapon during a “Defense of Ukraine” lesson, an experimental course part of a wider educational reform passed after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
The course has been part of the Ukrainian school curriculum since Soviet times, also known over the years as “Pre-Conscription Training” and “Defense of the Homeland.” If before 2022, the subject was seen as obsolete, hardly taken seriously by students who at times saw it more as an opportunity to goof off, Russia’s all-out aggression has given it a new life.

The program’s backers maintain they are not aiming to train 16 and 17-year-olds to be soldiers, but preparing them for a reality where Russian aggression is ongoing, with no clear end in sight.

Similarly and sadly, the Kremlin is militarizing their youth as well. In 2024, the Russian state introduced a mandatory discipline for middle and high school called the “Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Motherland.” For about 60 years, Soviet schoolchildren assembled and disassembled assault rifles, learned how to put on gas masks, and provided first aid during the lessons of “Basic Military Training” (BMT). This subject was removed from the school curriculum in the late 1980s and replaced with FLS.

Ukrainian Intelligence Chief: “Putin Wants All of Warsaw Pact Back”

Ukraine’s intelligence director Kyrylo Budanov warns Russia views itself as an empire seeking to reclaim former Soviet territories, with Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Bulgaria as targets if Ukraine is defeated.
“Russia doesn’t see itself as a federation—it sees itself as an empire. The model its leadership envisions is a version of the Soviet Union that includes former Warsaw Pact countries. This won’t change if the worst-case scenario unfolds.”
According to him, absorbing these nations is Russia’s “minimum objective” in its imperial ambitions.
“If we fall, Poland is next. I’m saying this outright—not to instill fear, but to make it clear. Then will come for the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Bulgaria. A full rollback.”
Despite Moscow’s claims of openness to negotiations, Russia continues its relentless aerial attacks on Ukraine.
Budanov added that Russia has received 120 long-range self-propelled artillery pieces and 120 multiple launch rocket systems from North Korea.
The DPRK has already supplied this equipment to the Russian troops and they have begun to use it. We are talking about 120 self-propelled artillery systems of 170 mm caliber and 120 MLRS of 240 mm caliber.
“These are quite impressive numbers,” the DIU chief emphasized.
He added that “it’s another question altogether” how much more North Korean weapons are being supplied to Russia. The intelligence chief noted that the DPRK provides the occupiers with 49% of 122-152 mm artillery ammunition and 122 mm MLRS rockets.
Russian Military Losses
Russian military funeral.
ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin’s Nakba against Ukraine has cost his country dearly. According to Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, Russia has lost 870,700 troops since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on 24 Feb 2022.
This number includes 1,170 casualties Russian forces suffered just over the past 36 hours.
According to the report, Russia has also lost 10,201 tanks, 21,183 armored fighting vehicles, 38,702 vehicles and fuel tanks, 23,686 artillery systems, 1,299 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,085 air defense systems, 370 airplanes, 331 helicopters, 26,961 drones, 28 ships and boats, and one submarine.
Donald Trumpf sanctioned the ICC in an effort to remove the international arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu.
If a ceasefire or peace is arranged, Ukraine will walk away from this conflict much like Japan and Finland did after their wars with the much larger Russia: combat-experienced and esteemed in the eyes of the international community. Russia and Ukraine might look like North and South Korea, two highly-militarized states at stone’s throw of each other. But genuine negotiations between Kiev and Moscow have not yet begun. US and Russian envoys discussing the future of Ukraine in Saudi Arabia without their presence was a poor sign of imperial arrogance. When someone asks what’s for dinner, this usually means it’s them. Either way, Putin’s goal of absorbing Ukraine into his fold have so far failed. And how much longer can Putin and Trumpf live? Will their successors want to maintain this ideal of a “Greater Russia”? As long as Europe can keep supporting Kiev without the US, Ukraine can outlast her enemies.
Dead Body Placed Beside Australian Couple on Qatar Airways Flightfor Four Hours
An Australian couple have spoken of the “traumatic” moment the body of a dead passenger was placed next to them on a Qatar Airways flight. Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin, who were travelling to Venice for a dream holiday, said a woman died in the aisle beside them during the flight from Melbourne to Doha. The couple say cabin crew sat her corpse, which was covered in blankets, next to Mr Ring for the remaining four hours of the flight and did not offer to move him, despite there being empty seats. Qatar Airways said it apologized for “any inconvenience or distress this incident may have caused,” adding that it was in the process of contacting passengers.

Qatar Airways crew stated the deceased passenger was too large to move to the vacant seats in business class. But this large passenger was able to squeeze her way into economy class? Perhaps the crew didn’t want to upset the oligarchs enjoying Business Class. And in case you missed it, this week there was another aviation incident when a private jet entered the runway without authorization from air traffic control resulting in a near-miss in Chicago. Between President Planecrash in the US and this mortifying experience, who thinks the skies are friendly enough to fly?
North Korean Hackers Steal Record $1.5 Billion in Single Crypto Hack
North Korean hackers have stolen $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency in a single heist, making it the largest crypto hack on record..
The hackers struck Bybit, which describes itself as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, with over 40 million users.
In a matter of minutes on Friday, the hackers stole a significant portion of North Korea’s reported annual gross domestic product. And over the weekend, the hackers were already laundering about $160 million of the stolen loot through a series of accounts connected to North Korean operatives, according to crypto-tracing firm TRM Labs. In a single hack, the North Koreans have nearly doubled what they stole in crypto last year, the firm said.
North Korea’s formidable hacking corps is an essential source of revenue for the nuclear-armed, sanctions-battered dictatorship.

In addition to hacking, North Korea makes money by producing and selling illegal drugs, counterfeit consumer goods and currency, and human/arms/wildlife trafficking. Pyongyang added to its coffers by keeping the salaries of the soldiers it sent to fight and die in Russia, as well as by selling weapons to Moscow. The fight to defeat North Korean crime must be through vigilance and intelligence-sharing, otherwise Kin Jong-un will continue developing his weapons of mass destruction (WMD) unabated. Lastly, Coriolanus has dealt with organized crime decades ago and he learned this philosophy years ago: “If you don’t understand it, get rid of it.” This axiom certainly applies to investing in crypto-currency.No Followers of the Watch should even be tempted to think about this unregulated demi-currency.
Health News: Four Things to Increase Your Lifespan
Stacy Andersen, a behavioral neuroscientist at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, is a codirector of the New England Centenarian Study, which examines the lives of people over 100 who are in good health. She has traveled the country visiting centenarians in their homes, meeting their families, and often sitting down with them for breakfast to try to pinpoint why they have lived so long.
Ms. Anderson, who studied centenarians for twenty years, contends doing these four things will add to your life expectancy. Of course this excludes genetic, financial, and environmental factors impacting us.
1) Eat foods from five different colors every day.

2) Exercise daily and mix it up.
Yoga, tennis, swimming, jogging, martial arts, weight-lifting all help.
3) Get good-quality sleep.
4) Challenge yourself to learn a new skill.
Learn to play different games, a musical instrument, or another language.
Many researchers suggest that having a pet in your life may also increase your longevity. Reducing alcohol, coffee, soda, and tobacco consumption can’t hurt either. Coriolanus has some work to do himself.
US Army Choir Sings Protest Song from Les Misérables at White House
At the Governor’s Ball in the White House earlier this week, the US Army Choir sang an arrangement from Les Misérables. The Victor Hugo novel (and musical) revolves around anti-monarchy and fighting tyranny, famous for its climactic scene from the Paris Uprising of 1832. The US Soldiers gleefully protested the sham Trumpf administration right under their very noses. Watch and listen:
Coriolanus is proud of his Soldiers.
Pocket-Sized Kitten Changes This Man Into Cat LoverForever
In this non-stop vortex of chaos caused by America’s Godzilla, here’s what we learned. USSECSTATE Marco Rubio, barely on the job a few days, flew down to Panama to demand they immediately take steps to end what President Trumpf sees as China’s influence and control over the Panama Canal. A Hong Kong-based company operates two ports near the canal’s entrances which Trumpf bloviated was a threat to the waterway and a violation of the US-Panama treaty. Rubio would claim they reached a deal that allowed US warships to transit the canal for free. Panama’s canal authority made it clear that it had not made any adjustments to tolls, directly contradicting Washington’s announcement that the policy change would save the U.S. “millions of dollars a year.” Since 1999, the US has paid a total of $25.4 million in transit fees—less than $1 million annually. While Panama’s President Raúl Mulino told Rubio that Panama’s sovereignty over the canal was non-negotiable, he also signaled a distancing from China by announcing that they will quit Beijing’s Belt and Road project. The canal, returned to Panama under a treaty signed in 1977, remains independently operated, despite conspiracy-laden rhetoric about China’s control over it. Panamanian President Mulino may take the matter of Trumpf’s bullying to the UN Security Council.
This episode was a “nothing burger” designed to give Trumpf an easy, public victory for his supporters, when in essence the American people got very little out it. Below, the Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum of US foreign policy.
America’s Godzilla issued an Executive Order (E.O.) condemning South Africa’s alleged discrimination against Afrikaaners and supposed land grabs. The E.O. authorized the US to facilitate the expedited re-settlement of these supposedly oppressed Afrikaaners to the US. This is the type of people Trumpf wants in America:
Pretoria responded:
“It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the US for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged, while vulnerable people in the US from other parts of the world are being deported and denied asylum despite real hardship.”
And so did two prominent Afrikaaner organizations:
“Our members work here, and want to stay here, and they are going to stay here,” said Dirk Hermann, chief executive of the Afrikaner trade union Solidarity, which says it represents around 2 million people. “We are committed to build a future here. We are not going anywhere.”
At the same press conference, Kallie Kriel, the CEO of the Afrikaner lobby group AfriForum, said: “We have to state categorically: We don’t want to move elsewhere.”
Trumpf announced plans to gut the Kennedy Center board and appoint himself chairman. Godzilla stripped Joe Biden’s Presidential Daily Brief (PDB), as well as the security clearances of non-federal government prosecutors such as Letitia James and Alvin Bragg. Trumpf will also be the first sitting POTUS to attend a Superbowl Game, where the “End Racism” signs and slogans have been removed. Elon Musk’s DOGE has been busy going through the records of millions of Americans. A US Treasury Threat Intelligence Analysis report designated DOGE staff as an ‘Insider Threat’ and these have posters have been cropping up in Washington DC.
Trumpf’s administration rehired a flagrantly racist DOGE employee. These are the miscreants working on behalf of Elon Musk to pilfer America’s wealth:
But Godzilla wasn’t done. The Crime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, flew to Washington. Trumpf floated the idea for the US to “take over” the Gaza Strip during a press conference with the ICC-indicted war criminal calling for Gaza’s entire population to be relocated to other countries and for the land to be redeveloped.
As previously reported here on Coriolanus, this was the “Repub-Likud” plan all the time. Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s former White House adviser and his son-in-law, praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property,” suggesting that Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the area. This is why no ceasefire was reached in 2024, despite the dozen trips that USSECSTATE Antony Blinken and D/CIA William Burns made to the Middle East. The incessant IDF bombing campaign against the Palestinians and Biden’s unqualified support for Israel kept antiwar voters home in Nov 2024. When Kamala Harris became the Democratic Presidential candidate, she immediately selected an outreach coordinator for Jewish-American voters, as if the Democratic Party needed such an envoy. She did not do the same for Arab-American voters. Kamala Harris’ inability to divorce her policy position from Biden cost her the Presidency; Trumpf and Bibi both knew it. The Democratic Party sacrificed the US for the sake of Israel. If you can stomach more of this, please see next story.
What’s next for America’s Godzilla? Despoiling the American Superbowl with his odious presence, slandering Ukrainian President Volodomir Zelensky, putting Elon Musk in charge of the FAA, confrontations with China and Iran, and scrubbing national health websites of information regarding avian flu.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to Trumpf: “You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House.”
Between these two Repub-Likuds are five indictments, two impeachments, and one conviction (but a sentence of ‘unconditional discharge.’)Both are trying to ethnically cleanse their countries,
The odious Benjamin Netanyahu said that in his second term, President Trumpf “picked up right where you left off” — bringing a hostage deal, revoking sanctions on settlers, pulling funding for UNRWA, and applying maximum pressure on Iran. “All this in just two weeks. Can you imagine where we’ll be in four years?” Meaning how many more Muslims and Arabs can we have kill while lining our pockets over the next four years?
You wonder what Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democratic Party leadership are thinking right now?
The ICC-indicted war criminal gifted Godzilla with a “Golden Pager,” The gift was an allusion to a deadly Sep 2023 operation carried out by Israel in Lebanon, which targeted pagers used by members of Lebanese Hezbollah. On 17 Sep, thousands of explosions struck Hezbollah members, targeting their pagers and then walkie-talkies a day later. The blasts killed at least 37 people, including some children, and injured nearly 3,000, many of them civilian bystanders. The UN OHCHR regarded this massive sabotage as a war crime.
The Golden Pager gifted to Godzilla, a tribute to a war crime. In turn, Trumpf is sanctioning the ICC to get the arrest warrants off his partner-in-crime.
The Democratic Party was the best friend Israel ever had.And somehow 46% of NY Jews voted for Trumpf.
Ask Harry S Truman in 1948 who recognized Israel, Lyndon Baines Johnson who shielded Israel in 1967 after the USS Liberty incident, or the late Jimmy Carter who bent over backwards to secure peace for Israel. 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. That’s billions of dollars that could have been used in the US for healthcare, education, affordable housing, meals-on-wheels, libraries, or parks. Americans go through medical bankruptcy, Israelis do not under their universal healthcare system.

The electronic spy ship may have intercepted IDF communications about potential war crimes in the Sinai. Abba Eban apologized for the attack and asked LBJ to not reveal anything as the incident might have become a propaganda boost for the USSR. Democrat LBJ obliged.

Thanks for screwing the Democratic Party in 2024 by keeping the Gaza bombing going and not helping Joe Biden out with a ceasefire, Bibi! Former USSECSTATE Antony Blinken and former D/CIA William Burns know exactly what you did. If the ICC doesn’t convict you, Coriolanus hopes Israel’s dynamic first female Attorney-General skewers you during your corruption trial.

(A) North Korean Cannon Fodder Reported Back in the Fight
North Korean soldiers were “brought in again” by Russia to the embattled Kursk Oblast, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address on 7 Feb.
Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi briefed Zelensky about new Russian attacks in Kursk Oblast, a day after Russian media claimed Ukraine had launched a new offensive in the Russian region.
“A significant number of occupiers have been eliminated, we are talking hundreds of Russian and North Korean servicemen,” the president said.
The New York Times reported on 30 Jan that North Korean troops had been pulled from the front, and a spokesperson confirmed that Ukraine’s special forces had not faced Pyongyang’s soldiers for three weeks.
Moreover, President Zelenskyy said that “Putin is not preparing for negotiations, not for peace, but for the continuation of the war, and not only against us, against Ukraine. They are now increasing their army by more than 100,000 more soldiers. All partners should know about this and should see it. We are ready to pass on the relevant information, and the relevant communication is already taking place through the intelligence line.”

Near the village of Terny in Donetsk region, as soon as he heard the sound of a drone, a Russian infantryman decided not to wait and killed himself with a grenade. The suicide was filmed by soldiers of the 98th battalion of the 60th separate mechanized Ingulets brigade.

(C) Russia Spreading Agitprop About NATO and Zelensky

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is claiming NATO member states are plotting to oust Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from power by discrediting him, and then holding elections to switch up leadership in the war-torn country.
The SVR said NATO is guided by the uncertainty regarding the continuation of military aid to Kyiv from the new US administration led by President Donald Trump. NATO hopes to “freeze” the conflict, however Zelensky remains the main obstacle to the implementation of such a plan, it said. There is no indication that such a plot exists.
Russian soldiers continue getting slaughtered against Ukraine and their morale must be at an all time low thanks to drone warfare. Next week NATO will be convening the Ministers of Defense Summit where military assistance to Ukraine will be the main topic. The Kremlin is attempting to sow discord within NATO before the conference with the propaganda that President Zelensky is corrupt and an obstacle to peace. In Brussels expect sycophantic USSECDEF Pete Hegseth to parrot the same Kremlin lines by asking for elections in Ukraine.
Turkiye: 33 Dead in Ankara from Bootleg Alcohol Poisoning, 20 in Critical Condition
The provincial governor’s office reported that 33 persons died in Ankara following bootleg alcohol use while another 20 are in intensive care.
In Turkiye, where bootleg alcohol is frequently contaminated with methanol, a poisonous chemical that can cause blindness, liver damage and death, such poisonings are rather prevalent and result from covert manufacturing.
Police confiscated 102 tons of contaminated alcohol and arrested 13 individuals on suspicions of selling it.
Though the governor omitted a chronology, his office’s X account on Tuesday cited “an increase in counterfeit alcohol deaths in recent days”. A spokeswoman for the governor’s office informed AFP the statistic was “from the beginning of the year”.
Previous consumption of bootlegged alcohol had left 26 people in intensive care and 38 people died in Istanbul in Jan 2025.
Since then, no official comment on whether the number of victims rose or on the state of those in intensive care has been made.
Inquired by AFP for a Friday update, a spokeswoman from the Istanbul governor’s office responded: “We are not going to make a statement on that.”
Turkiye is an ostensibly secular nation, although alcohol tariffs have surged under pious President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Purchased from a supermarket, a liter bottle of raki, Turkey’s aniseed-flavored national spirit, currently costs over 1,300 lira ($37.20) in a nation where the minimum salary just recently exceeded $600.
Critics claim high prices and low salaries are driving the manufacture of moonshine alcohol.
The first female recruit in the Turkish Police Organization may have been in 1845. Women in Turkiye have come a long way since then.

What Happened the Last Time a President Purged the Bureaucracy
From Politico:
“While it is impossible to quantify a counterfactual, the cost of the anti-communist purges of the 1950s was clearly enormous and played out not just over the subsequent years but over decades. For instance, had expertise not been purged and dissent not been punished so severely across the government during the early 1950s, wiser heads might well have raised the right objections to America’s short-sighted anti-communism in East Asia, above all its rush to intervene in Vietnam. Does the Trump administration run the same risk of short-sightedness today?“

Pam Bondi Weaponizes Justice Dept, Ends FBI Role to Combat Foreign Influence in US Politics
From Politico:
“Bondi directed the “weaponization” group to investigate former special counsel Jack Smith, who brought the two federal criminal cases against Trump: one over Trump’s role in the 6 Jan 2021 attack on the US Capitol and another on Trump’s mishandling of classified documents.
And she directed the group to examine “federal cooperation with the weaponization” by the offices of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Bragg’s office brought the criminal hush money case against Trump that ended in his conviction on 34 felony counts of business fraud. James brought a civil fraud lawsuit against Trump and his family business that resulted in a judge ordering Trump to pay a massive civil judgment.
Trump has repeatedly vowed revenge on Bragg and James, both Democrats, saying Bragg should be prosecuted and that James is “grossly incompetent.” Trump and his supporters have also questioned the role of one of the prosecutors in Bragg’s office, Matthew Colangelo, who previously worked at the Justice Department. Trump has pointed to Colangelo’s resume to claim that former President Joe Biden’s administration played a role in bringing the criminal case.
Bondi said the Justice Department would end a moratorium on federal executions that was put in place during the Biden administration. She pledged that department lawyers will “evaluate all potential avenues to strengthen the federal death penalty as a valid means of punishment for the heinous crimes it is intended to punish. She also ended the FBI’s role in investigating foreign influence in US politics.”
Attorney-General A. Mitchell Palmerarrested and deported thousands of aliens from 1919-20 during the “Red Scare.”
If Americans feel less secure today they have a right to. Between the internal threat posed by DOGE to American’s privacy, the purging of the FBI, and now this weaponization of the Justice Dept by Trumpf, America’s enemies will have a field day in the US. Expect fewer prosecutions of police brutality cases, as well as less investigations of white supremacist groups and Russian oligarchs. This agenda will suit Vladimir Putin just fine.

President Donald Trumpf signed a memo Wednesday that sets in motion preparations for a facility to house thousands of migrants at the US military camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, which he said was an effort to “halt the border invasion.”
Trumpf said the US has
“30,000 beds in Guantánamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.”
Trumpf previewed the directive at a signing ceremony for the Laken Riley Act, an immigration detention measure, saying he would “instruct the departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantánamo Bay.”
No, those aren’t Russian soldiers abusing Ukrainian POWs. They’re Muslim detainees arriving at Camp X-Ray in Jan 2002. (Photo: Shane T. McCoy, US Navy)
The Guantánamo Bay announcement caught many officials at the Pentagon off-guard, according to five defense officials. One official said the Guantánamo mission will be a DHS mission. It is unclear whether the military will be involved, but the Pentagon has no orders or guidance from the White House beyond the memo.
Officials who were surprised by Trump’s announcement said they do not know how many beds for migrants are at Guantánamo or whether it would be a short- or a long-term mission. They said there are no plans to upgrade or change the military facilities there.

Beginning in 1991, over 32,000 men, women and children fled Haiti in makeshift boats. Many were pro-democracy activists seeking refuge after a military dictatorship overthrew President Aristide. Intercepted by the US Coast Guard, they came to crowded camps surrounded by barbed wire at Guantánamo to pre-screen their asylum claims.
Somebody on Trumpf’s staff alerted him that Guantanamo Bay once held 32,000 Haitian migrants, which is where he got the number 30,000 for his directive.
There are only a handful of Muslim detainees left in Guantanamo. President Barack Obama made several efforts to close down this tropical torture chamber but was stymied by Republicans in the Congress. This inhumane ukase will be a costly one for the hardworking American taxpayer. The expense of operating a C-17 military transport aircraft is $28,500 per hour. A recent military deportation flight to Guatemala most likely cost at least $4,675per migrant. Moreover, feeding 30,000 unfortunate souls will be expensive as well. One wonders which Trumpf crony will be awarded the lucrative contract to cater to these poor detainees. No doubt the oligarch will overcharge the US government while providing the refugees gruel.

Trumpf Withdraws Security Details for Several Former VIPs
President Trumpf pulled security from John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and his assistant John Hook, despite an assassination contract put out by Iran. This is just another example of Trumpf’s vindictive nature to invite political violence against his enemies
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced he is “immediately pulling” retired Gen. Mark Milley’s personal security detail and security clearance. The sycophantic secretary is also directing the new acting Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine if enough evidence exists for Gen. Milley to be stripped of a star in retirement based on his actions to “undermine the chain of command” during President Donald Trump’s first term.
The DoD will also be removing a second portrait of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon. This one is from the Army’s Marshall Corridor on the third floor honoring his service as chief-of-staff of the Army. This means there will be no more portraits of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon.
Background Information
The US State Department announced a $20 million reward for information leading to the arrest of the alleged Iranian mastermind behind a plot to assassinate former White House official John Bolton.
The US designated the entire IRGC a “foreign terrorist organization” in 2019, after previously designating its external operation wing, the Quds Force.
In Aug 2022, US officials uncovered a plot by Shahram Poursafi, a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), to kill John Bolton, who served as national security adviser to former President Donald Trump. The reward offer came when Trumpf who was running for a new White House term, claiming there were “big threats” on his life by Iran.
Bolton, an Islamophobe, is considered a foreign policy hawk and is a fierce critic of Iran. He advocated that Trump unilaterally and recklessly withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018.

Poursafi allegedly offered an unidentified person inside the US $300,000 to kill Bolton in the capital area. The plan was likely set in motion after the US killing of top IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani in Iraq on 3 Jan 2020 by a drone strike outside Baghdad Int’l Airport (BIAP). But it never made headway because the ostensible assassin became an informant of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Iranian authorities have dismissed the allegations as “fiction.”
The late General Qasem Soleimani. (Photo: Public domain)
General Qasem Soleimani was a popular figure in Iran and an effective combat leader against ISIS in Syria and Iraq. When the US invaded Afghanistan in Oct 2001 after the 11 Sep 2001 attacks, General Soleimani collaborated with the US and led the 2001 uprising in Herat against the Taliban, which included ethnic Hazaras, the Northern Alliance, and the Quds Force which liberated the city before US forces entered. Years later, the QF supported the Shia resistance against US forces in Iraq, particularly with lethal EFPs (explosively formed penetrators,
As reported previously here on Coriolanus, the IRGC-QF have contracted out assassinations to organized crime groups such as the Hell’s Angels, as well as recruited spies and saboteurs within Israel.
“Crossing Lines”
On 4 Dec 1981, President Ronald Reagan signed Executive Order 12333. Part 2.11 of E.O. 12333 reiterates a proscription on US intelligence agencies sponsoring or carrying out an assassination. It reads:
No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination.
Then-President Trumpf abused the Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) to get around this proscription by deploying DOD assets to murder General Soleimani.

During a state of war, enemy generals are high value targets (HVTs). The Ukrainian secret services killed a Russian CBRN general last year. In mob parlance, Trumpf killing Qasem Soleimani “crossed a line” with the Iranians as the US was not in a Congressionally-declared war with Tehran. Imagine how upset Americans would have been in 1945 if former members of the Third Reich assassinated General George Patton after the war ended. That’s how the Iranians feel today about Soleimani’s death.
Giuseppe “Pino” Greco killed up to 300 victims on behalf of the powerful Corleonesi clan during the Sicilian Mafia war of the late 1970s.
Like Giuseppe “Pino” Greco, when you live by the sword, expect to die by the sword. Perhaps this will be a lesson to national security functionaries to be a little more circumspect before ordering the taking of another man’s life. In sharp contrast to America’s dilemma of protecting homicidal bureaucrats, former President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador dismissed his military bodyguard detail when he assumed office. During his five year term, no one from the drug cartels, ISIS, the FSB, the IRGC-QF, or even a deranged lunatic made any attempts to harm President Obrador.

Mexico President Obrador sat unprotected on a delayed commercial flight for three hours. He said he would be “embarrassed” to board “a luxurious plane in a country where there is so much poverty.” President Obrador intended to sell the specially made $218.7m presidential jet.

I Russian Recruitment
The number of Russians signing contracts at Moscow recruitment centers to fight in the war against Ukraine has fallen five-fold since its peak in late summer of last year. The daily number of volunteers signing-up reached a high following Ukraine’s Kursk offensive and the introduction of a one-time payment of 1.9 million rubles ($19,200) shortly before that.
Since then, daily applicants number around 40, a fivefold decrease, citing a source in the Moscow mayor’s office. The composition of applicants has changed, and half of those signing up currently are foreigners of African, Asian, or Chinese origin looking to make extra money, or Russians under investigation in criminal cases.
Russia is currently suffering around 1500-1750 casualties daily on the battlefield, including dead, wounded, and captured, as it continues to make grinding advances in eastern Ukraine in “meat attacks.”

II Ukrainian Strategic Drone Offensive
Ukrainian drones continue destroying strategic targets inside Russia, including an oil refinery, pumping station, and a missile arsenal. Four drones struck the Lukoil oil depot in the city of Kstovo, causing “significant damage.”
All of these targets are hundreds of miles inside Russia, conducted by Ukrainian Special Operations or intelligence personnel (HUR). The Russians were forced to shut down the main pipeline that supplies oil to the Ust-Luga terminal in Leningrad Oblast.

Oscar Jenkins is serving in the 402nd Separate Rifle Battalion, which is part of Ukraine’s 66th Separate Mechanized Brigade. He went missing on 16 Dec 2024 while on a combat mission near the village of Mykolaivka in Luhansk Oblast. Thought to be executed by the Russians, Australian FM Penny Wong received confirmation from the Kremlin that Jenkins is alive and in custody.
IV NATO Support for Ukraine

NATO is on course to fulfill its promise to send approximately $41.6 billion in security assistance to Ukraine by the end of the year, NATO Deputy Secretary General Radmila Shekerinska said on 29 Jan. Member nations pledged to provide the funding to Ukraine during the NATO summit in Washington, DC in July 2024. The future of US military aid remains uncertain under President Donald Trump who has urged Europe to shoulder more of the financial burden.
Ukraine continues striking strategic targets inside Russia to damage its economy and undermine enemy morale. The word is out on the Russian street about the appalling number of deaths on the Ukrainian front, lowering the number of native Russians seeking military contracts. NATO and the EU are stepping up to fill the void of assistance caused by Vladimir Putin protégé Donald Trump and are executing their contingency plan across the financial, intelligence, and defense spectrum. For example, the US ceded Poland’s air defense command to NATO last year. The Russians would not execute a foreigner like Oscar Jenkins because he has value for any potential prisoner swaps. If a Russian spy is detained in Australia, Moscow and Canberra would conduct a trade.

Uganda confirms an Ebola virus outbreak in its capital, Kampala, with the first patient, a nurse, succumbing to the disease. This highly infectious virus spreads through bodily fluids and has claimed 55 lives during a previous outbreak. The health ministry is handling the emerging situation cautiously.
Per CIA, Uganda has nearly 50m people; real GDP per capita is $2,800.
The highly contagious viral infection, which transmits through contact with infected bodily fluids and tissues, causes symptoms such as headaches, muscle pain, and bleeding. Uganda last battled an Ebola outbreak in late 2022, which officially ended on 11 Jan 2023, after claiming 55 lives, including six health workers.
The average Ebola case fatality rate is around 50%. Case fatality rates have varied from 25–90% in past outbreaks, depending on circumstances and the response.
Violent Lunatic Pardoned by Trumpf Sought on Charges of Child Sex Solicitation

Andrew Taake (36) from Houston, TX was released from prison after being pardoned by Donad Trumpf is now wanted on separate charges of child sex solicitation. He had pleaded guilty in 2023 to beating officers with a metal whip and dousing them with bear spray while storming the Capitol grounds on 6 Jan 2021.
After being turned in by a woman he chatted with on the dating app Bumble, he was sentenced to six years in federal prison plus three years of post-released supervision. But now that he’s free again, Texas prosecutors are seeking him for trial on charges related to text messages he allegedly sent an undercover cop pretending to be a 15-year-old girl back in 2016.
This maniac was already awaiting trial for those messages when he journeyed to the Capitol “ready for violence” in January 2021. Nevertheless, Takke was freed from federal prison despite a formal request from Texas authorities to keep him in custody so that he could be tried for the 2016 charge.
Pardoned 6 Jan Offender Kills Mother of Two While DUI
Another one of Trumpf’s pardons backfired. Emily Hernandez was sentenced to ten years in prison for a deadly drunk driving crash days after being pardoned for her role in the 6 Jan Capitol attack.

On 5 Jan 2022, Hernandez drove on I-44 in Missouri for several miles going the wrong way, with a blood and alcohol concentration of .125, before crashing into another car belonging to a Franklin County couple, Victoria and Ryan Wilson. The couple just left dinner celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary. Victoria (32) died and Ryan faced serious injuries. The couple has two children, now ages 18 and 13.

Emily Hernandez destroyed this once happy family in Missouri and a sexual predator is now on the loose in Texas. Expect more mayhem from the approximately 1,500 pardoned maniacs. When people contend that Donald Trumpf is trying to destroy the US from within, do not disbelieve them.

UK: Alleged Russian Spy Believed She Was Working for Interpol

A woman accused of spying for Moscow told the Old Bailey she believed she was working for Interpol after a man showed her a fake ID and told her he could enrol her at “police school in Wembley.”
On her first day of giving evidence, London-based beautician Vanya Gaberova (30) said she did not question Bizer Dzhambazov (43) who also told her that untrained people such as her were better at surveillance because they did not stand out in a crowd.
Gaberova said she and Dzhambazov became close in Aug 2021 and gradually started a relationship as he began to give her surveillance tasks around Europe, which prosecutors say were for the benefit of Russia.
Dzhambazov, a medical courier, told her he was part of an Interpol economic crime unit and showed her credentials, which she did not question, and added that he could help her get a job in the police, which she said was an aspiration of hers.
Dzhambazov has already pleaded guilty to spying for Russia, carrying out surveillance tasks as part of a spy ring run by his friend Orlin Roussev, based in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Roussev, who has also admitted guilt, was accused of working for Jan Marsalek, an Austrian fugitive and Russian agent based in Moscow.
The NATO Counterintelligence/Operational Security (CI/OPSEC) posture remains high because of the threat of Russian sabotage and espionage. The war in Ukraine has forced the Kremlin to recruit amateurs and non-professional assets without diplomatic immunity such as Vanya Gaberova. Nevertheless, they pose a threat to Western interests. These Russian spies will no doubt be traded in a future prisoner swap.

President Trumpf visited a Trump Organization property on 428 of the 1,461 days (30%) of his first presidential term and is estimated to have played 261 rounds of golf, one every 5.6 days.
One of Trumpf’s campaign pledges was to immediately lower the prices of eggs and gasoline for American consumers. Since being in office, both prices have increased while the Commander-in-Chief golfed. The ingenious Trumpf Golf Tracker is monitoring the time the President of the United States is on the links while “Rome burns down.”

From Wired magazine:
“The fine print of a sweeping Trump executive order seemingly grants Elon Musk — the wealthiest and arguably most powerful unelected figure in the world — and his associates at the somehow-still-real Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to all unclassified data held by US government agencies.
Under the executive order, the Trump Administration didn’t create a new federal advisory committee. It instead repurposed the United States Digital Service (USDS), an existing government organization with sweeping access to vast caches of data across government agencies, including the sensitive information of US citizens, as the “United States DOGE Service” — a move that seemingly opens the door for Musk and his operatives to access a massive amount of data without much transparency oversight.”
Trump fired all three Democrats on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), bringing much of its work to a standstill. The move guts a board designed to ensure the government’s work to fight terrorism is balanced with protections for civil liberties. The White House informed the three Democrats on the board on Thursday it was seeking their resignation, but the members were officially terminated Monday.
This stealthy move allows the Trump administration and his right-wing operatives to data mine the American people, and in essence, conduct warrantless internal surveillance. To go after political enemies like Liz Cheney or the Vindman brothers, DOGE will give Trumpf a superpower that Richard Nixon didn’t have when he ordered the IRS to conduct time-consuming audits on his enemies. Thanks to DOGE, Trump or his cronies can easily create a dossier about their enemies without a warrant in “one-stop shopping.”
More guardrails protecting the privacy and civil liberties of Americans have been eliminated. Democratic-appointed federal judges who oversee FISA warrants in the 94 US judicial districts remain.And without oversight, what is to stop white supremacist oligarch Elon Musk from selling this sensitive data about Americans to nefarious actors or corporations such as Amazon?
The Worst Person in the World
Volunteers immediately projected this on Musk’s factory in Germany, where rendering a Nazi salute is illegal.
And shame on the once reputable Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for disingenuously defending neo-Nazi Elon Musk while recklessly smearing Palestinian-Americans as antisemites.
Russia Pressuring Relatives of Ukrainian POWs to Collaborate
Ukrainian prisoners after being freed. Look how happy the poor guy on the left is.
Russian intelligence services and their military are attempting to influence relatives of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) by contacting them immediately after their capture. The calls are used to pressure relatives into cooperating with Russian forces by demanding money, sensitive information, or illegal actions in exchange for promises of better treatment or inclusion in prisoner exchanges.
“This is done to shock, emotionally pressure, and force the family to cooperate,” an official from Kiev reported.
This comes as another example of Russia abusing or threatening Ukrainian captives as part of its all-out war against Ukraine. Kiev and Moscow have carried out several prisoner exchanges during the conflict, though Russia has been accused of deliberately slowing down the swaps and spreading disinformation about the process to destabilize Ukraine.
Ukrainian authorities have documented widespread violations of the Geneva Conventions by Russia, including the execution of over 100 Ukrainian POWs in 2024 alone.
Reports of torture, murder, and ill-treatment of Ukrainian captives have surged in recent months, particularly in Donetsk Oblast, where intense fighting continues. On 23 Jan, Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office announced it was investigating a case of Russian troops summarily executing six Ukrainian POWs in the region.
Whether there will be post Second World War Nuremburg-type trials for Russian war crimes after hostilities finally cease is doubtful. Russian President Vladimir Putin will remain an unarrested PIFWC, like his counterpart Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Over time, the experienced Ukrainian espionage network will seek out justice in their own way, as we have seen with other Russian war criminals.
Indonesian Forestry Minister Plans to Level 50 Million Acres for Food, Biofuels; Area 2x Size Of South Korea
Per CIA, Indonesia has a population of 281,562,465people. GDP per capita is $13,900,
An Indonesian government plan to clear forests spanning an area twice the size of South Korea for food and biofuel crops has sparked fears of massive greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss. The country’s forest ministry announced they identified forest areas spanning 20 million hectares (50 million acres) for potential conversion into “food and energy estates.”
The announcement triggered an immediate backlash, as similar food estate programs in the past have failed, often leaving a legacy of environmental destruction. Indonesia has the world’s third-largest expanse of tropical rainforest, after Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and such a vast amount of deforestation would deal a major blow to global efforts of limiting global warming.

The clearing of 20 million hectares of forests could release up to 22 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, equivalent to the annual emissions from nearly 5,300 coal-fired power plants. “This [food and energy estate plan] shows how the government doesn’t have a commitment to reforest and rehabilitate natural forests,” an environmentalist said. “In reality, we don’t have the luxury of deforesting amid the climate crisis.” Yet the plan aligns with the platform of President Prabowo Subianto, who has prioritized achieving both food and energy self-sufficiency as cornerstones of his administration. Since his election campaign, Prabowo has emphasized the need for Indonesia to achieve sovereignty in these critical sectors to bolster economic resilience and national security.
Massive arboricide is not what the world needs, but just the opposite. To reduce the carbon emissions in the atmosphere and reverse global climate change, millions of trees must be quickly grown and those alive in the Brazilian or DRC rain forest must be spared.
Warning of Possible TB Epidemic in Ecuador’s Largest Prison
The Litoral Penitentiary has capacity to house five thousand inmates, although by July 2021 it imprisoned approximately ten thousand.
Lawyers from Ecuador’s Permanent Committee for the Defense of Human Rights warned of a possible tuberculosis epidemic in the Litoral Penitentiary, the country’s largest prison, where an estimated 500 inmates are infected.
Per CIA, Ecuador population: 18m people; $14,500 GDP per capita.
In a single pavilion there are 400 detainees with confirmed tuberculosis and in a second space of supposed containment, there are inmates with symptoms. The situation is aggravated because they live in an unhygienic condition with inadequate food.
There is no classification of prisoners, so inmates are all mixed according to their criminal gangs. The military does not generally interfere with the gangs and bloodshed is not uncommon. Hundreds of inmates have been killed since 2020.

‘Unprecedented’ TB Outbreak in Kansas with Nearly 70 Cases
Kansas Department of Health and Environment announced 67 active outbreak cases and 79 latent infections in Kansas City, KS, since 2024. The majority of cases were declared to have broken out in Wyandotte County and Johnson County, just west and southwest of the metro area.
KDHE Deputy Secretary Ashley Goss told the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee: “Currently, Kansas has the largest outbreak that they’ve ever had in history.”
But despite this, officials stated that the outbreak had a very low risk to the general public and surrounding counties.
In addition to the growing avian flu epidemic, here is another potential health crisis for the Trump administration. His purposeful choice of quacks, unreputable experts, and mountebanks will no doubt hurt the American people as this man below already knows.
On his show, Russian TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov shared a particularly grim prediction of what Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, and the other Trump Cabinet appointments might mean for Americans:
“What an excellent team is coming along with Trump! Not with respect to Ukraine, but as far as everything else goes. If they are allowed to get in, they will quickly dismantle America, brick by brick. They are so great!”
President Trumpf issued a ukase for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to aggressively ramp up the number of people they arrest, from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500, because the president has been disappointed with the results of his mass deportation campaign so far.
The quotas were outlined in a call with senior ICE officials, who were told that each of the agency’s field offices should make 75 arrests per day and managers would be held accountable for missing those targets.
The orders significantly increase the chance that officers will engage in more indiscriminate enforcement tactics or face accusations of civil rights violations as they strain to meet quotas. At least 15 indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico have reported being stopped at their homes and workplaces, questioned or detained by federal law enforcement and asked to produce proof of citizenship during immigration raids, according to Navajo Nation officials. Farmers have complained that harvests weren’t picked because migrant laborers were too terrified to come to work, wasting millions of dollars of crops that rotted.

White House “border czar” Tom Homan has said for weeks that ICE would not conduct mass roundups and its officers would prioritize immigrants with criminal records and who are gang members. But the quotas issued this weekend would place ICE officers under more pressure to seize a wider range of potential deportees to avoid reprimand, including immigrants who have not committed crimes.
During the Second World War, Supreme Commander Allied Forces in Europe General Dwight D. Eisenhower saw firsthand how millions of people could be relocated efficiently.

Republicans are full of friendship, charity, and benevolence aren’t they? And like “Ike,” the current President enjoys golfing. After telling a reporter he wouldn’t be playing on Monday (after playing on Sunday), Trumpf was photographed playing golf at his Doral club on Monday.
Iran: 80 Female University Students Poisoned After Consuming Canned Tuna
Pishva Varamin University
80 students at Pishva Varamin University were afflicted with food poisoning. 22 of the affected students were treated on-site and discharged, while the rest were taken to the hospital for further care. Over the past year, multiple incidents of food poisoning involving students at various Iranian universities have been reported.
Per CIA, Iran has a population of 88m people and GDP per capita is $15,900
In Dec 2024, Iranian media reported that 40 students from Shushtar Medical Sciences University experienced symptoms of food poisoning after having dinner at their dormitory, requiring hospitalization.
Food poisoning incidents in Iran are not limited to universities. Students and workers have also been affected, with some cases resulting in fatalities.
In Nov 2024, 42 students from a boys’ school in Kashmar, Khorasan Razavi Province, were hospitalized after consuming breakfast prepared at their school.
The recurring food poisoning incidents in Iran highlight systemic issues in food safety and hygiene standards in educational institutions and workplaces, raising concerns among the public. Addressing these concerns requires immediate action from authorities, including stricter regulations and monitoring of food preparation and distribution to ensure the health and safety of students and workers across the country.

Activists allege that the food poisoning attacks against female students are reprisals for defying the Islamic Republic of Iran’s strict mores about dress, conduct, or alcohol consumption. particularly wearing the hijab. The number of food poisoning incidents without any arrests have drawn the suspicion of covert state involvement. Tehran does not like to publicly admit that they are like the Taliban in Afghanistan so they are using intimidation tactics like this.
There are two theories behind these food poisoning incidents. In the “guns versus butter” debate, Tehran’s budget may be prioritizing defense over social services and US-led sanctions are not helping Iran. The other theory is covert state involvement to intimidate female students. Perhaps this is a combination of both, with nefarious members of the religious police taking advantage of an already poor food situation.
With the Islamophobic Trumpf regime now in power, expect no let up on sanctions and future dust-ups with Iran as Israel will continue attacking Shia Houthis in Yemen who are undergoing their own food insecurity issues. With less allies in the world, Iran will continue supplying Russia with drones in their mutually beneficial relationship as a fellow BRICS country (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates). Please watch for an imminent post about Iranian espionage.
