President Trump Colossal Embarrassment at Papal Funeral

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.

“Trumpf told aides he wanted to make it back to his golf resort in New Jersey before the end of the day.”

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 Update

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.

Son of CIA Deputy Director KIA Fighting for Russia

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.”

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.

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.

This is One Patient Cat

Canada Votes 28 April 2025

Edward R. Murrow: 25 Apr 1908 – 27 Apr 1965

“This is America”

Followers of the Watch: The vignettes below will inform you of the real state and nature of America.

Two Mass Shooting Survivors Speak

Ms Stephanie Horowitz survived two mass shootings, the 2018 massacre of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School by Nikolas Cruz and the recent Florida State University attack when Phoenix Ikner killed two students and wounded six.  

Jackie Matthews

Jackie Matthews survived the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that killed 26 people in Newtown, CT, and she survived the 13 Feb 2023 attack at Michigan State University which killed three students.

“I am 21 years old, and this is the second mass shooting that I have now lived through. The fact that this is the second mass shooting that I have now lived through is incomprehensible.”

In a now-deleted clip, Ms. Mathews detailed how she suffered a post-traumatic stress disorder fracture in her back because of what happened in 2012, something that still affects her to this day.

Only America can claim the ignimonious achievement of people surviving multiple mass shootings.

Mass Shooter Kills 22 Reportedly for Dotard Trumpf

Mass murderer Patrick Crusius was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for killing 22 people at a Wal-Mart in El Paso, Texas. His defense attorney Joe Spencer testified:

“While Patrick claimed in his manifesto that his views predated the then-president (Donald Trumpf) and that political figures were not to blame, he also explicitly stated the attack was a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas, echoing the language used by political figures. Indeed, Patrick believed he was acting at the direction of the president at the time, seeing it as his duty to stop the invasion because that’s what he believed [Trumpf] was telling him.”

Florida Killer Phoenix Ikner Trumpf Supporter

Nikolas Cruz, the 2018 Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School murderer is a Trumpf supporter as well. He wore his bright red MAGA hat to a funeral.

Cody Balmer allegedly set fire to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s mansion out of hatred for him. The damage was extensive and luckily no one was injured in the inferno. How this maniac was able to penetrate the defenses of the governor’s mansion is unclear. In 2024 Gov. Shapiro was on Kamala Harris’ short-list for VPOTUS candidate and he may run himself in 2028.

Police State Under Trumpf Worsens

German teens Charlotte Pohl and Maria Lepere (Photo Credits: X/ @MarioNawfal)

Two teenage girls from Germany were detained, arrested, and deported at an airport in Hawaii after immigration officials said it was suspicious they had not booked a hotel room. But despite having ESTA travel authorization, immigration officials accused them of attempting to enter the US. to work illegally, and they were placed in handcuffs and taken to a nearby detention center they later learned was a deportation facility. Upon arrival, they were subjected to full-body scans, strip searches, and forced to wear green prison jumpsuits. They were then placed in a holding facility with serious criminals, including an alleged murderer who had been locked up for 18 years, and were forced to spend the night in a freezing cold double cell.

Migrant Children in Immigration Court Without Lawyers

(Imagery: ABC News)

“The reason we’re here is because the government of the United States wants you to leave the United States,” Judge Ubaid ul-Haq, presiding from a courtroom on Varick Street, told a group of about a dozen children on a recent morning on Webex. “It’s my job to figure out if you have to leave,” ul-Haq continued. “It’s also my job to figure out if you should stay.” The parties included a 7-year-old boy, wearing a shirt emblazoned with a pizza cartoon, who spun a toy windmill while the judge spoke. There was an 8-year-old girl and her 4-year-old sister, in a tie-dye shirt, who squeezed a pink plushy toy and stuffed it into her sleeve. None of the children were accompanied by parents or attorneys, only shelter workers who helped them log on to the hearing.

The Trumpf junta has been firing immigration judges and legal resources are limited to represent immigrants in court, let alone helpless children.

‘The cruelty is apparent

Canadian Border Agents Fail Family of Four Fleeing America

A family of four from El Salvador crossed the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls to Canada fleeing the ICE raids and sudden deportations sweeping the US. But the CBSA focused on small discrepancies in their paperwork and rejected them, even though they qualified for entry under exception and have a brother who is a Canadian citizen. When the four were disappointingly driven back to the US border, CBP detained them. They have been in custody two weeks now.

Canada turns away most asylum seekers who attempt to enter from the US at land border crossings, but there are exceptions to this rule, which this family met. I hope those CBSA officers are happy with themselves knowing that these four vulnerable people, including two girls (4 and 14), will eventually be deported to rightwing-led, impoverished, and gang-infested El Salvador.

In 2022, 48,000 Americans were killed by gun violence. 2025 or 2026 could be the year the US reaches 50,000 deaths in one year. Now the state is inflicting violence on its people with mass deportations and flagrant violations of due process. Trumpf is inspiring political violence across the US, from mass shootings to arson to vandalizing Felon Musk’s hideous Tesla vehicles. There is a reason why America ranked 24th on the World Happiness Report (below Israel and Mexico) and Dotard Trumpf was recently ranked the worst president of all time. Followers of the Watch, you will see more violence, police brutality, and economic chaos over the next four years as Trumpf shrinks the social safety net, hate radio continues spewing xenophobic lies, and mental illness continues unchecked in the US.

India: 26 Killed in Terror Attack During VPOTUS JD Vance Trip

At least 26 people have been killed and 36 wounded in Indian-controlled Kashmir in the north after gunmen opened fire at a beauty spot near the resort town of Pahalgam, nicknamed ‘Mini Switzerland.’ Authorities blamed it on the resistance fighting Indian rule which deploys 500,000 soldiers in Kashmir. The attack seemed to have been timed to coincide with JD Vance’s four-day tour of India and PM Nahendra Modi’s visit to Saudi Arabia. Delhi has swiftly taken a series of retaliatory steps: closing the main border crossing, suspending a critical water-sharing treaty, and expelling diplomats.

The massive Indian security force presence in Jammu and Kashmir (500,000 personnel) use shotgun pellets to purposely blind Muslim protestors like Manzoor Ah-Dar below:

PM Narendra Modi can blame Pakistan for supporting their fellow Muslims oppressed in Jammu and Kashmir, but poverty and Hindu-supremacist Delhi’s repression of the ‘Other’ is the root cause of unhappiness and strife in India.

Trumpf Strips Visa for Colombia President Gustavo Petro

Dotard Trumpf petulantly stripped Colombia President Gustavo Petro’s visa, preventing him from attending imminent meetings of the IMF and IBRD in the US. The major international snub comes after Trumpf threatened ‘decisive retaliatory measures’ over Colombia’s Jan 2025 refusal to let two US military flights full of deportees land. In a cabinet meeting, President Petro let slip that his nickname for Dotard Trumpf is ‘Donald Duck’ and he took this idiotic snub with aplomb.

Colombia’s Former Colonial Masters Shoot and Burn Trumpf in Effigy

(Public domain photo)

An effigy of Dotard Trumpf was marched through the streets before being shot and burned as part of Easter Sunday celebrations in Spain. Every Easter, locals in the town of Coripe, Seville, string up a Judas’ figure representing a public figure whose actions are deemed to be morally reprehensible’. Video shows the Trumpf doll, sporting a dark navy suit, red tie, and unmistakable shock of blonde hair, leading a town parade at gunpoint before being hung from a tree in the town square and shot at with rifles from close range. The burning of Judas’ effigies is a common ritual amongst Christian communities as part of traditional Easter celebrations.

Coriolanus regrets missing this worthy auto-da-fe.

Karma for Puppy-Killing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, infamously known for admitting in her autobiography that she killed her 14-month-old rambunctious puppy, fell victim to a thief while eating dinner at a downtown Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday night. Noem, who was asked about the theft at the White House Easter Egg Roll, acknowledged the incident and said the matter has not been resolved. The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant, a law enforcement source said. The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash.

Shooting a defenseless, harmless puppy is not only a disqualification from becoming Secretary of Homeland Security, but a disqualification from the human race. The US Senate confirmed her appointment as Secretary with a 59-34 vote. Astonishing.

Coriolanus was intensely curious regarding the contents of Secretary Noem’s stolen handbag. Why she was dining with her passport (official or diplomatic) and blank checks in Washington DC is mystery to your author. One question arose is what medications Secretary Noem is taking and for what condition. Her predilection to animal cruelty and mass deportations of vulnerable people provide a clue.

Having her makeup kit makes sense to maintain Noem’s disguise as a human being.

As Governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem was banned from indigenous lands by the local tribes. At the border in Derby Line, Vermont, Noem taunted Canadians with shouts of “51st state!” and she shamelessly flaunted herself and her jewelry in front of male convicts in a notorious El Salvador prison for a tawdry photo opportunity.

The irony is rich. For a few hours on Sunday, the manifestly under-qualified Secretary Kristi Noem was “undocumented” like the people she has been persecuting. And this architect of fear for millions of vulnerable people was in a frenzied panic in a tony Washington DC bistro like her victims.

Karma, where would we be without you?

Trumpf Junta Targets Anti-Christian Bias While Israel Persecutes Christians

In a statement marking Easter before the death of Pope Francis I, Marco Rubio called for “all nations to respect the right of Christians to declare Christ is King. Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the king of kings and lord of all nations,” Rubio posted on ‘X’. Rubio’s implication is that Christian freedom of worship is under threat.

The Trumpf junta has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. Marco Rubio, the most under-qualified person to ever lead the State Department, also asked staffers via official cable to report any perceived discriminatory actions taken against Christians or employees advocating on their behalf between Jan 2021 and Jan 2025.

Moreover, US Attorney-General Pam Bondi announced she is establishing a task force to combat anti-Christian bias in the US.

The Stench of Republican Hypocrisy is Stifling

White supremacist MAGA acolyte Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) from Georgia posted this vile message after Pope Francis I died.

US Attorney-General Pam Bondi did not condemn this anti-Christian message from MTG and worse, SECSTATE Marco Rubio conveniently ignores the fact that for decades Palestinian Christians have been attacked by both Israeli civilians and the IDF.

Swimmer Killed After Rare Shark Attack

A swimmer was killed following an extremely rare shark attack off the coast of Israel about 25 miles north of Tel Aviv. Sharks are known to gather there where warm water is discharged by a local power plant, and especially at this time of year, but they are usually harmless. There have been no recorded fatal shark attacks in waters off Israel since the country was founded in 1948. Below Israelis admire a shark in the same area in 2021.

19 Richest American Households Made One Trillion Dollars Last Year

“The wealthiest have gotten richer, and control a record share of America’s wealth. New data suggest $1 trillion of wealth was created for the 19 richest American households alone in 2024. That is more than the value of Switzerland’s entire economy.”

GOP Tax Cuts Will Cull Thousands of Poor Americans

To pay for the oligarch’s unneeded tax cuts, congressional Republicans in both chambers passed a resolution to cut at least $880 billion from the budget through 2034. Because Medicaid accounts for approximately 93% of non-Medicare funding, the program is expected to absorb the overwhelming share of these reductions. The cuts to Medicaid would result in widespread coverage losses, which could lead to 15,400 deaths due to work reporting requirements or roughly 34,200 deaths from reduced federal funding each year. 

The oligarchs have been greedily amassing their pelf for centuries. Just imagine how much more fabulously wealthy the billionaires will be next year after Trumpf’s horrendous tax cuts take effect. And how many poor Americans will have died because of inadequate medical funding. The GOP and American billionaires are aiding and abetting what Friedrich Engels described as “social murder.”

Rescue Pit Bull Finds Best Friend in Donkey

Secretary Noem, are you watching this?

Followers of the Watch, Coriolanus is doing his utmost to keep up with the sinister machinations of the Trumpf junta, including their blatant stock manipulations with tariff threats and massive cryptocurrency grifting, all while keeping an eye on global intelligence and national security issues.

Donald Trumpf Waved Off Israeli Strike on Iran to Placate Vladimir Putin

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

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.

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, 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.

Now we know why Dotard Trumpf mistakenly called called General H.R. McMaster– he meant to call Governor H.R. McMaster (see last post).

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.

Ukraine-Russia Update

This Ukrainian POW amputee somehow survived Russian captivity for an unspecified amount of time. (Photo: Ukrainian government)

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.

Russians Celebrate Trumpf Serving Russia’s Interests

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.”

An outstanding international arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) remain active for Vladimir Putin. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Ex-NYPD Sergeant Sentenced as Illegal Agent for 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.

Canadian TV Show Mocks Trumpf Mercilessly

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.

Israel Resumes Genocide in Gaza and Destruction of Lebanon

The UN reports that women and children were the only fatalities in at least three dozen IDF air strikes on Gaza since mid-March, as it warned that the Nakba threatens Palestinians’ “continued existence as a group.” Israel also has imposed a total blockade on Gaza; food, water, medicine and other critical supplies are quickly running out. The IDF killed more than 1,100 Palestinians since resuming the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza.

IDF Destroys Another Palestinian Hospital

The IDF destroyed the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, the largest remaining functioning hospital in northern Gaza.

The Palestinian Health Ministry appealed to the international community for emergency medical aid after Israel destroyed the al-Ahli Hospital in northern Gaza. Israel’s systematic and deliberate targeting of hospitals and medical facilities in Gaza killed hundreds of Palestinian physicians, nurses, and humanitarian workers. The destruction of Palestine’s healthcare infrastructure is a flagrant violation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the principles of the international humanitarian law, but also forms an integral part of a broader scheme of genocide and the erasure of Palestine. When casualties remain untreated and die, this is called “NHI,” or No Humans Involved. The IDF has killed 50,944 Palestinians and wounded or maimed 116,156 during Nakba 2024-25.

Israel Continues to Destroy Lebanon

The UN reports that Israeli military operations in Lebanon have continued to claim civilian lives and destroy vital infrastructure, violating the ceasefire agreement that took effect Nov 2024.

At least 71 civilians have been killed by Israeli forces in Lebanon since the 27 Nov 2024 ceasefire, according to an initial review by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).  Among the dead are 14 women and nine children. More than 92,000 people remain displaced by the violence.

On Palm Sunday, IDF soldiers demolished this statue of St. George in southern Lebanon, happily recording it:

Israeli horrors are expanding in the US as ICE continues detaining Palestinian or pro-Palestinian scholars, such as Mohsen Mahwadi. A permanent resident in Vermont, Mr. Mahdawi, a practicing Buddhist, was getting ready to take his US citizenship test when he was arrested. Coriolanus was unable to find any traces of Mr. Mahwadi in publicly available USG databases. US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Governor Phil Scott (R-VT) both condemned the detention. Whether they have the ability to locate and free Mr. Mahdawi is another matter.

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. After Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) capitulated on the Republican budget this past March, he released billions of dollars in US military and economic aid to Israel, greenlighting both the Nakba and attacks in Lebanon. That very weekend that the horrendous Republican passed, Donald Trumpf ordered the bombing of the starving Shia Houthis in Yemen on behalf of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and (Sunni) Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman (MBS), both of whom share a common anti-Shia antipathy. The hardworking American taxpayer and military servicemember should never be perplexed why Muslims and Arabs in the Middle East have developed their antipathies toward the US.

An international arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu. In addition, in 2024 the International Court of Justice (ICJ), also at the Hague, found the State of Israel responsible for instituting apartheid against the Palestinians.

Russia-Ukraine Update

Russia Massacres Civilians in Sumy, Ukraine

On Palm Sunday, Russia launched two short-range ballistic missiles, including one equipped with cluster munitions, at Ukraine’s northeastern city of Sumy as Ukrainians attended church services. At least 35 people were killed and 119 injured in the attack, including children. Donald Trumpf told the Group of Seven (G-7) allies the US won’t endorse a statement condemning Russia’s deadliest attack on Ukraine this year because it wants to “keep negotiations with Moscow on track.” Moreover, Trumpf alluded to this horrendous massacre as a “mistake.”

How does Trumpf know this butchery was a mistake and why won’t he condemn it?

Ukrainian Counterintelligence Arrests Russian Double Agent

The SSU arrested a military instructor secretly working for Russia who was given carte blanche to kill as many Ukrainian military officers as possible at his training center. The traitor was supposed to plant an IED in HQ or trick someone into bringing the bomb to a meeting of officers. His other option was to provide Russia with coordinates for a precision missile strike on them. The saboteur was charged with high treason committed under martial law and he faces life imprisonment. 

Ukrainian intelligence services are first-rate, both defensively and offensively. This man will be traded for a captured high-value Ukrainian operative in the future.

Foreign Volunteers Dying for Ukraine

Foreign volunteers continue dying while fighting against the Russian army. The latest casualty is a 20-year-old Finnish soldier. The volunteer from Turku left Finland several months ago and was recently killed in eastern Ukraine, but the exact circumstances remain unclear. Numerous other Finnish volunteers have died in Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, including former politician Ville Mykkanen, who was was killed in action in Aug 2024.

Other recent KIA include Kakha Tilidze (Georgia), Edgars Platonovs (Latvia), and Richard S. (Austria), Filip Antosiak (19) (Poland) and an unnamed Lithuanian soldier.

While the Kremlin attracts riffraff, convicts seeking parole, white supremacists, and international fugitives for its army, Ukraine attracts volunteers globally, much like the Scandinavians who fought for Finland against the USSR in 1939 or the International Brigade that fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39).

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC against Vladimir Putin for war crimes remains active.

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

Trumpf Junta is Dangerous Clown Show

The amateurish and bizarre Trumpf junta has become a clown show for the world. After being thoroughly humiliated with his wife in Greenland, JD Vance attended a White House ceremony honoring the national college football champion team from Ohio State. Watch what happens:

After this embarrassment, JD Vance and his wife Usha were booed at the prestigious Kennedy Center before the concert began. Recall that JD Vance subjected his wife to a previous humiliation during their disastrous trip to Greenland.

Below, Donald Trumpf is being ridiculed on Russian TV. This same presenter has previously lampooned the 47th President to the joy of Russian oligarchs and Vladimir Putin.

The Dotard-in-Chief announced that he wouldn’t be attending the annual White House Correspondent’s Dinner on 26 Apr, a break in tradition. That may be the wisest decision Trumpf has made in his life as he and his coterie would be ridiculed mercilessly from pillar to post. Speculation is swirling that Trumpf may attend a special birthday celebration for his wife, Melania (AKA Melanoma). The genuine warmth, love, and affection the First Couple have for each other is the envy of the world, like JFK and Jacqueline from yesteryear:

The Trumpf clown show promised the full release of documents pertaining to the late sexual maniac Jeffrey Epstein.

The future POTUS with notorious sex predator and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in 1992. Epstein committed suicide in a secure federal detention center in NYC in Aug 2019.

When the junta failed to that, the regime threw out a distraction on the internet about an alleged 1993 Russian encounter with a UFO which went viral, and discussion of the Epstein files faded away. The reality? CIA had released a 1993 Ukrainian newspaper report that a UFO supposedly attacked Russian soldiers with a directed energy weapon (DEW). The troops were reduced to a limestone composition and their remains were transferred to a scientific institute for study. A CIA officer in the cable referred to the incident (if true) as “menacing.” 

The CIA release was NOT an intelligence report, investigation, or analytical finding, but simply an excerpt from the Ukrainian newspaper Kiev Holos Ukrainy’ (27 March 1993), translated by the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS). 

Podcasters and rightwing TV hosts like Joe Rogan (pictured below) wasted time on their shows over a “nothing-burger,” but the public was distracted. This is called the “shiny new object” technique. You will also see Joe Rogan at UFC spectacles, like an arena barker at the ancient Roman “bread and circuses.” Joe Rogan and his counterpart Ivy League alumnus Bill Maher make incredible fortunes for themselves distracting the hoi polloi while helping to maintain the status quo. Be wary of the intellect or intent of people that watch these two charlatans who do not hold the best interests for the masses.

Multi-millionaire racist Joe Rogan is a Trumpf acolyte with a podcast. (Photo: (Carmen Mandato / Getty Images)

Faux liberal multi-millionaire Bill Maher is the product of a privileged background.

Followers of the Watch, make no mistake. While the Trumpf junta is comprised of clowns, amateurs, and racists, they wield the machines of power. As you have seen, federal law-enforcement personnel are “disappearing” people and the Trumpf junta is defying the Supreme Court about returning a man wrongfully deported to El Salvador. They are dangerous clowns.

North Korea Building Massive Advanced Missile Warship

An image from Korean Central Television shows leader Kim Jong Un checking the work on a new warship late last year. 
Korean Central TV

While his people starve, Kim Jong-un is constructing a gigantic guided-missile frigate (FFG), approximately 140 meters (459 feet) long, making it the largest warship manufactured in North Korea. The Kim regime has been engaged in a rapid modernization of its military, developing a range of new weapons and testing ICBMs that can reach almost anywhere in the US.

Satellite imagery: Maxar Technologies

The Kremlin is most likely providing the technology for the frigate’s missile systems. In a conflict with North Korea, the US intelligence and the South Korean navy will track and destroy this behemoth with powerful precision munitions before it can do any harm.

The corpulent crapulent Kim Jong-un chain smokes, drinks to excess, overeats, while his people suffer food insecurity, officers scrounge for cigarette butts, people are executed for trying to escape, and his soldiers are needlessly getting killed in Russia. How much longer will the Dynasty of Death rule the Hermit Kingdom?

Trumpf Junta Targeting Cubans in US and Abroad

Hundreds of thousands Cubans risk deportation as Trumpf moves to end protections afforded them by previous administrations. Although temporarily stalled in court, Cuban migrants were advised their path to legal immigration is no longer valid. The Trumpf junta is also targeting Cuban physicians and their foreign medical missions overseas. The State Department has began to pull the US visas of foreign officials in countries that pay the Cuban government for doctors and nurses. The measure threatens one of Havana’s main sources of currency, just as the nation grapples with a huge wave of migration, widespread power outages, and food shortages.

The vastly underqualified Marco Rubio, who destroyed USAID, is also mulling slashing the size of the State Dept which will impact CIA operations. As a US Senator, Marco Rubio diluted the legislation in Obamacare. Now as an attack dog for Trumpf, he is targeting his fellow Cubans. Migrants sent back may be punished. The sanctions may cause Havana losses in potential revenue streams for its weakened economy. Cuban physicians have an excellent reputation and Havana offers free scholarships to their medical schools, including to American students.

USSECDEF Sacrificed Three Aides for His Epic OPSEC Failure

The most underqualified man to ever lead the Department of Defense is sacrificing aides because of his titanic operational security (OPSEC) failure when he discussed classified information on the commercially-available Signal app. Alcoholic Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired three Republican aides from their well-paying sinecures rather than take the blame himself. Secretary “Hogsbreath” had Dan Caldwell physically escorted out of the Pentagon for an “unauthorized disclosure.”

Hogsbreath also sacrificed the DoD Deputy Chief of Staff, Darin Selnick, and Colin Carroll, chief of staff to deputy secretary of Defense Steve A. Feinberg. All of the victims were placed under administrative leave pending an investigation. The witch hunt will most likely be conducted by the DODIG.

There is a reason why 50 US Senators voted against confirming the drunk misogynist as SECDEF and why multiple volunteers demonstrated against him on Capitol Hill. In his Minnesota Army National Guard career, Hogsbreath deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, and attained the rank of Captain before leaving the service. This barely qualifies him to serve as an aide to the several Generals and Admirals he relieved from duty. Moreover, Hogsbreath admitted to indulging in several extra-marital affairs and was accused of sexual assault by a woman in California, all punishable offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

Followers of the Watch, your humble author has more national security experience in his pinky finger than the entire corpus of Pete Hogsbreath, a monumental disgrace to the US Defense Department. And the Generals and Admirals around Hogsbreath know exactly who and what he is: A reckless Trumpf lickspittle sent to the Pentagon to purge it of it minorities, women, and LGBTQ servicemembers, while shifting America’s national security focus away from the Kremlin. No good will come of his appointment as SECDEF and Americans should expect more calamities emanating from Hogsbreath.

NOAA: Drought Returning to California, Nevada

NOAA informs that California and Nevada are once again drying out and fast. Large swaths of both California and Nevada will face a summer of extreme drought, particularly in the southeast corners of those states. Note the summer heatwaves haven’t even begun yet. The deeper the colors on the map below reflect where the drought will be more severe and intense for California and Nevada. Farmers, ranchers, flora, and fauna will be hard-pressed this summer.

Earlier this year America’s Godzilla wasted 2.2 billions of gallons of California’s water by opening dams against the wishes of the US Army Corps of Engineers and Sacramento. As you read here on Coriolanus, the Trumpf junta also refused to honor a treaty with Mexico over sharing water. Vladimir Putin’s plans to undermine and weaken America through Trumpf is working out splendidly.

Two Cats Playing With Their Tails

Donald Trumpf’s Junta Mirrors Thirds Reich

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 pin above 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.

Trumpf Mental Faculties in Question

Dotard-in-Chief Mistakenly Calls Fired Lt-Gen. H.R. McMaster

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.

Did One of Trump’s College Professors Call Him ‘the Dumbest Goddamn Student I Ever Had’? – Truth or Fiction?

Israel PM Condemns Canada Liberal PM Mark Carney

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.

Felon Musk Covering Up Russian War Crimes

At least 34 people have been killed and more than 100 injured in a Russian ballistic missile strike in the Ukrainian city of Sumy as people were going to church for Palm Sunday, in the worst attack on civilians this year. (Photo: Volodymyr Hordiienko / AP)

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.

China Responds to JD Vance’s Idiotic Comments

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. 

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

What Does a Cat Do When It Finds Sleeping Dogs?

Israeli Death Forces Murder American Teenager in West Bank, Wound Two Others; Admits Killing 15 Medics

One ethnic cleanser helping another ethnic cleanser into his seat.

Israeli soldiers killed a 14-year-old Palestinian-American teenager and wounded two others in the occupied West Bank. Two other Palestinian-American boys, ages 14 and 15, were injured in the incident. The IDF said its soldiers opened fire during a ‘counterterrorism operation’ in Turmusaya when they saw three “terrorists who hurled rocks toward the highway, thus endangering civilians driving.” This week ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu met with Dotard Trumpf and presumably AIPAC mega-donors. There was no indication of an apology from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu or an inquiry from President Dotard Trumpf.

IDF Murders 15 Palestinian Medics

Relatives mourn during the funeral procession for members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society and other emergency services who were killed a week earlier by Israeli forces, at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, 31 March 2025. (Photo: AFP / Eyad Baba)

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has said it is “outraged” at the deaths of their medics killed on duty in Rafah in southern Gaza. The nine-person ambulance team came under heavy fire in al-Hashashin on 23 March. Troops then bulldozed over the bodies along with their mangled vehicles, burying them in a mass grave. Their bodies were finally retrieved one week later after the IDF granted access. At least one of the Palestinians had their legs bound, another was decapitated, and a third was topless.

Attacking medical personnel and desecrating the bodies of the enemy are war crimes under the Geneva Convention.

ICC-indicted War criminal Benjamin Netanyahu resumed the genocide in Gaza on 18 March after US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) capitulated on the appalling GOP budget, ensuring US economic and military aid to Israel remained uninterrupted. The IDF has killed over 900 people, including children, with US-provided weapons and funds since re-starting the Nakba on 18 March.

Warning: Some Followers of the Watch may find this murder scene disturbing.

The Israeli military backtracked on its account of the killing of 15 Palestinian medics by its forces after the phone video you saw above contradicted their lies that the vehicles did not have emergency signals on when troops opened fire on them in the Gaza Strip. The military initially said it opened fire because the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” on nearby troops without headlights or emergency signals. An Israeli military official, speaking condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said that account was “mistaken.”

How many other times has the world heard these excuses from the IDF? The State of Israel should just announce they want to be an ethnically pure state and be done with it. Savlanut, young lady, the IDF is killing the Palestinians as fast it can.

ICC-indicted war criminal Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu once again visited Dotard Trumpf at the White House this week. What could they possibly discussing again? War against Iran, of course.

The US and Iran are once again on a collision course over the Iranian nuclear program.

In a letter dated early March, Trumpf urged Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to negotiate a new deal. The new deal would replace the defunct nuclear agreement negotiated in 2015 between the US, Iran and five other global powers.

Trumpf withdrew from that agreement, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), during his first term. Trumpf gave Tehran a two-month deadline to reach a new nuclear deal. If they don’t, the US will bomb the country. Since the Republican budget passed, the US military has been bombing the Shia Houthis in Yemen who are proxies of Iran. Netanyahu resume his Nakba against the Palestinians, and US B-2 bombers have amassed on the island of Diego Garcia in a show of force. In response, Tehran has agreed only to indirect negotiations. It has ruled out any direct talks while under a US policy of “maximum pressure”.

Open source satellite imagery shows the build up of the US strategic bomber taskforce on Diego Garcia, possibly one-third of the B2 fleet. (Photo: X)

Trumpf claimed that the Houthis in Yemen have been “decimated by the relentless strikes” he ordered on 15 Mar. But Pentagon officials are privately offering a more restrained assessment. In recent closed briefings, they acknowledged limited success in destroying the Houthis’ vast, mostly underground stockpiles of missiles, drones, and launchers. In just three weeks, the strikes have cost $200 million in munitions, not including the high operational and personnel expenses of deploying two aircraft carriers, B-2 bombers, fighter jets, and advanced air defenses to the region. So many precision munitions — especially advanced long-range ones — are being used that some Pentagon planners are increasingly concerned about the strain on Navy stockpiles. The depletion is raising alarms about the US military’s readiness in the event of a major conflict, such as a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

The total cost of the campaign could exceed $1 billion by next week, and the Pentagon may soon need to request supplemental funding from Congress.

The Hill Times newspaper in Canada refers to Netanyahu as “Israel’s curse” (5 Sep 2024).

Ukraine Update

Russia Continues to Press Gang Civilians for Ukraine Meatgrinder

A police raid in Russia ended with immigrants being rounded up and taken to a military recruitment office. The raid — one of several across Russia in recent weeks ” was the latest evidence of how authorities are seeking new soldiers for Ukraine, where Russia’s all-out invasion is now its fourth year. This coincided with the annual springtime draft of conscripts, who are by law barred from combat duties or foreign deployment. Taken together, the moves show how Russia’s military is seeking to increase the overall size of its armed forces while at the same time making sure it has the manpower to continue grinding down Ukrainian troops. The young Russian soldier above saying goodbye to his wife in Sep 2022 may have already been killed or maimed on behalf of ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin.

US Neo-Nazis Call for Targeted Attacks Against Ukraine

White supremacist Rinaldo Nazarro (AKA “”Norman Spear,” “Roman Wolf”) in undated photos. (Public domain imagery)

The US neo-Nazi terrorist group called “The Base,” led by Rinaldo Nazarro (AKA “”Norman Spear,” “Roman Wolf”), is calling for targeted assassinations and sabotage attacks on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine in an effort to destabilize Kiev. Nizarro has been leading “The Base” out of Saint Petersburg, Russia (which means “Al Qaida” in Arabic). No longer the focus of intense FBI counter-terrorism investigations after the Trumpf junta assumed power, Rinaldo Nazzaro is trying to flex the muscles of his terrorist group. An American defector, this NJ native claims to have worked with US Special Forces during the GWOT.

No doubt that white supremacist oligarch Felon Musk and the Kremlin are pulling the strings. The worst man in the world is backing the rightwing in Germany and called for the release of violent Islamophobe gang leader Tommy Robinson in the UK. Robinson has visited Russia on several occasions.

DHS Mistakenly Informs Ukrainian Refugees to Leave US

The Trumpf junta said it accidentally told some Ukrainian refugees they needed to leave the US immediately because their legal status was being revoked. The following message was sent by mistake: “DHS is now exercising its discretion to terminate your parole,” the 3 April notice said, referring to the temporary legal status that the Biden administration granted to hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians. “Unless it expires sooner, your parole will terminate 7 days from the date of this notice. Again, DHS is terminating your parole. Do not attempt to remain in the United States ” the federal government will find you,” the notice warned. “Please depart the United States immediately.” Roughly 240,000 Ukrainians are safe in the US under a policy known as Uniting for Ukraine (U4U). DHS retracted the email without apology or explanation.

Russians Celebrated Ukrainian Drone Strikes on Moscow

Phone conversations intercepted by Ukrainian military intelligence reveal that many Russians welcomed the news of drone attacks on Moscow. Russian comments follow: “So we can be f**king bombed, but Moscow Oblast is not? Let the bastards shut up and stay put!” “They live their lives without fear, without knowing anything. Let them be at least a little bit afraid,” the person she was speaking to responded. “They should have targeted Moscow right away to make them take action,” she said, adding: “Otherwise, poor people are suffering, and Moscow is dancing and singing.” “Well, (there were) 50 drones, as I read today. Let them bomb the Kremlin,” one of the men said. “To hell with them. Let them (bomb),” the other replied.

The Russian masses see the oligarchs on TV shows enjoying themselves, keeping their children safe from Ukrainian attack or serving in the Russian Army. They are sick of Vladimir Putin’s inhuman invasion of Ukraine which has cost them hundreds of thousands casualties and a greatly diminished quality of life. During the Second World War, public dissent against the Emperor or the State was ruthlessly quashed by the Kempai Tai (Thought Police) in Imperial Japan. The result was slanderous graffiti throughout the washrooms of Japan’s factories, fisheries, offices, and farms, safely denouncing the unpopular war which brought them tragedy and devastation.

Modern day version of the ridicule secretly heaped on the elites in the washrooms of Japan during the Second World War.

Ukrainian Forces Capture Two Chinese Nationals Fighting for Russia

PLA soldier in newest camouflage uniform and equipment.

Ukrainian forces have captured two Chinese nationals who were fighting for the Russian army in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region. Intelligence suggests the number of Chinese soldiers in Russia’s army is much higher. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Chinese troops fighting on Ukrainian territory “puts into question China’s declared stance for peace” and added that their envoy in Kiev was summoned for an explanation.

This is the first official allegation from Ukraine that China is supplying Russia with manpower. There has been no immediate response to the claims from Moscow or Beijing. In a statement on social media platform X, President Zelensky said the soldiers were captured in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region with identification documents, including bank cards which had “personal data” on them. Ukraine’s forces fought six Chinese soldiers and took two of them prisoner, he said.

Beijing’s PLA has global peacekeeping and border skirmish experience fighting Indian forces in the Himalayas, but the last major war fought by China was against Vietnam in 1979. Like North Korea, China may be testing the mettle of their untried soldiers in real combat in the event the PLA invade Taiwan. China is a massive police surveillance state and can not deny knowledge of their presence in Russia. The white racist soldiers in the Russian Army didn’t give a damn about the North Korean soldiers and the same would have applied to these Asian troops.

UK: Russian Spy Sensors Found Hidden in Waters

The British military discovered the sensors after a number of them washed ashore. Moscow is trying to collect intelligence on the UK’s four Vanguard submarines, which carry nuclear missiles. At least one of the submarines is at sea as part of Britain’s continuous at-sea deterrent. The Kremlin has a fleet of specialist submarines which are reported to be better equipped than Britain and NATO in terms of both seabed warfare and espionage. Russia has been stepping up surveillance and sabotage of underwater internet connections, energy pipelines, and military cables, which are key to the West. In 15 months, there have been at least 11 internet cables that have suffered damage in the Baltic Sea, partly because anchors have been dragged across the seabed by ships.

Despite the appalling losses to the Russian army, ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin has maintained the budget and manpower of his naval forces, particularly for sabotage and espionage missions.

Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the US military representative to the NATO Military Committee, has been fired. No reason was given for her removal. Chatfield served as the US representative to the NATO Military Committee, the alliance’s group of top uniformed officials. The committee provides advice to NATO’s top military leaders and helps guide long-term strategy. Several other top military officers have been removed from their posts during Trumpf’s Stalinist purges: USAF Air Force Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown, the former CJCS;; USN Adm. Lisa Franchetti, CNO; and the commandant of the USCG Coast Guard, Adm. Linda Fagan. Look how happy Admiral Chatfield looks in her official photo below.

USN Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield has a PhD in Education (Official photo).

 

Followers of the Watch, make no mistake. The Trumpf junta is filling the ranks with pro-Kremlin, pro-Likud white male officers loyal to the regime regardless of competency or experience, like Josef Stalin did in the USSR in the 1930s.

America’s Brutal Police State

The Islamophobic Police State

Defense attorney Amir Makled. (Photo: Hall Makled Law Firm)

Dearborn Michigan attorney Amir Makled, who is representing a pro-Palestinian demonstrator arrested at the University of Michigan in 2024, was detained at Detroit Metro Airport by federal agents who questioned him about his clients and tried to get him to surrender his cellphone. Mr. Makled stood his ground and didn’t give up his phone.

“I’m an American citizen. I’m not worried about being deported,” Makled said he recalled thinking to himself in the airport interrogation room. “So, I tell them, ‘I know you can take my phone. I’m not going to give you my phone, however … 90% of my work is on my phone. You’re not getting unfettered access to (it).’ “

What followed was a 90-minute, back-and-forth verbal tussle between Makled and two federal agents, who ultimately released him without taking his phone, but looked at his contacts list instead.

In 2024, the Honorable Nina R. Morrison, a federal judge in New York ruled that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can’t search travelers’ phones without a warrant. The ruling theoretically applies to land borders, seaports, and airports — but in practice, it only applies to New York’s Eastern District. EDNY includes John F. Kennedy Airport in Queens, the sixth-busiest airport in the country. Nationwide, CBP has conducted more than 230,000 searches of electronic devices between the 2018 and 2023 fiscal years at land borders, seaports, and airports.

The Honorable Judge Nina R. Morrison, a heroine for America’s brutal times.

Under the Trumpf regime, this will only worsen. The junta is suppressing any pro-Palestinian support in the US on behalf of Likudnik war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. Palestinian-Americans make up 1% of the entire Arab-American population; Lebanese-Americans are the largest group, making up 25% of Arab-Americans.

Rebecca Burke, a UK citizen, was shackled and transported to an ICE detention center where she was locked up for 19 days, even though she had the money to pay for a flight home and was desperate to leave the US. Now back home in the UK, Ms. Burke tells others thinking of going to Trumpf’s America: Don’t do it.

Indian Students Targeted for Deportation

VPOTUS JD Vance and his Indian-born wife Usha.

Indian students facing minor criminal offences, including traffic violations in the US, are now being targeted by the country’s authorities. The US has revoked visas of international students including dozens of Indian students who received related mails from their designated school officials. The students were informed that their F-1 student visas were no longer valid and were asked to leave the country at once. The e-mails cited past criminal offences by the students like shifting lanes while driving, drunk driving, shoplifting, etc. as reasons for their deportation. In the past few weeks, hundreds of international students in the US received e-mails informing them about their visa being revoked and asking them to self-deport.

Here’s what the letter said:

“The termination of your Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), which is a legal document which stores data of an immigrant and proves their legal status, record means that you no longer have valid F-1 non-immigrant status. This means you are no longer lawfully allowed to stay in the US. Restated, your Form I-20 is no longer valid. Your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is no longer valid, and you no longer have authorization to work. “If your visa has been revoked, this means that the F-1 visa in your passport is no longer valid. If you are in the US, you may need to make plans for immediate departure.”

Though each offence can lead to deportation according to the Department of Homeland Security, US immigration attorneys opined that in the past such offences seldom led to deportation. This will have exponential effects for US colleges and universities which make millions of dollars in tuition from international students. You wonder what Usha Vance, the Second Lady of the United States, or India PM Nahendra Modi think about this?

CIA Reviewing Lethal Options Against Mexican Drug Cartels

CIA is reviewing its authorities to use lethal force against drug cartels in Mexico after the Trumpf junta made the cartels a major priority for the intelligence agency. Trump designated a number of cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO). The review does not indicate the Dotard has ordered CIA to take direct action against the cartels, but CIA is already flying surveillance drones over Mexico like the MQ-9 Reaper drone below:

In 1981, President Ronald Reagan signed Executive Order 12333: “No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination.”

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum recently met in Mexico City. (Social media)

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum posted on social media that she and other Mexican officials including Foreign Affairs Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente had “a fruitful meeting” with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem “for the benefit of Mexico and the United States.”

“Our countries maintain a good relationship within the framework of respect for our sovereignties,” she wrote.

President Claudia Sheinbaum already broke Mexico’s constitution by extraditing several cartel members to the US in an effort to placate the Trumpf junta. CIA covert action in Mexico will undermine her country’s sovereignty and possibly destabilize her country. In 2023 Mexico suffered 22,355 gun deaths, mostly from cartel violence. American demand for illegal drugs provides the cartels a lucrative business. In turn, the cartel operators purchase smuggled weapons from American gunrunners and the cycle remains unbroken.

EUROPOL Smashes Child Sexploitation Ring

Kidflix, one of the largest pedophile platforms in the world, has been shut down in an international operation against child sexual exploitation. Over 35 countries worldwide participated in the operation. 1,393 suspects were identified, 79 suspects were arrested, over 3,000 electronic devices were seized, and 39 children were protected.  A total of 1.8 million users worldwide logged on to the platform between April 2022 and March 2025. Authorities seized the server which contained around 72,000 videos.

Bio-Tech Firm Claims They Cloned Extinct Ice Age ‘Dire Wolves’ Thru DNA Manipulation

  • Colossal Biosciences says it created three wolf pups with the genes of ancient, extinct dire wolves.
  • The startup’s scientists call this “de-extinction,” but other experts say these aren’t dire wolves.
  • What is certain is that these three wolf pups are the first of their kind.

The beginnings of a real-life “Jurassic Park” are playing out in a high-security, undisclosed location where three unusually large, fluffy, white wolf pups are growing up.

The gene-editing startup Colossal Biosciences, which recently raised $400 million for its de-extinction and conservation missions, announced the pups’ existence on Monday, saying they are the first living dire wolves since the species went extinct some 12,500 years ago.

Brothers Romulus and Remus were born in Oct 2024, followed by female pup Khaleesi in January — all delivered by Caesarean section from their hound-dog surrogate moms to avoid complications from their large size.

The Nightmare That Is Now America

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

CIA Update

Senior CIA officer Ralph Goff (undated photo).

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

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

Felon Musk Visits CIA HQ, Nose Pins Handed Out

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

USSECDEF Pete Hellsbreath Plagiarizes Heritage Foundation

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

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

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

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

Loyalty Tests Purge National Security Staff

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

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

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

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

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

Maryland Man Wrongfully Deported to Notorious El Salvador Prison

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

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

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

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

Judge Holds ICE Agent in Contempt of Court

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

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

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

American Policing at Local Levels Needs Complete Overhaul

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

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

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

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

Four Texas Deputies Commit Suicide in Six Weeks

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

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

Harris County, Texas.

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

USAG Pam Bondi Seeks Death Penalty for Luigi Mangione

US Attorney General Pamela Bondi released the following statement:

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

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

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

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

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

Australia Shuts Down Six Confucius Institutes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

23andMe DNA Data Up for Grabs After Going Bankrupt

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

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

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.

Signs That Your Dog Was Raised By a Cat

American Police State Terrorizing Citizens, Foreigners, Dissidents

For those Followers of the Watch residing outside the US, you would be wise to refrain from visiting the once “Land of the free, home of the brave.”

Watch the US police state in action as ICE detains Rumeysa Ozturk (30), a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University:

The ICE agents are using a standard FLETC academy arrest technique where one agent distracts the individual with a “PSST!” or “Pardon me” while another agent gets behind the poor girl.

Protesting the Israeli genocide in Gaza or Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine sent these poor young women to the American gulag. Ms. Petrova also faces other dangers should she be deported to Russia and the tender mercies of Vladimir Putin’s police state.

American citizens have been brutalized by the police for years. The advent of social media exposed the long-standing and pervasive practice which led to the Black Lives Matter movement and the meme ACAB (“All cops are bastards”). Watch three Arizona police officers pummel and tase Tyron McAlpin, a defenseless, deaf black man suffering from cerebral palsy for no reason.

Warning: Followers of the Watch may find this video disturbing.

The white officers received minimal disciplinary action from the Phoenix Police Department. Below is the how the Phoenix Police Department presents itself on its website, reminiscent of a Potemkin Village:

https://www.phoenix.gov/administration/departments/police.html

The reality is that unlike the police departments found all over the world, America inherited the brutal, racist legacy of the antebellum Slave Patrol, which has continued into the 21st century.

White Americans are not immune to police brutality. Grandfather Michael Burch (69) slowly suffocated to death in a rural Colorado jail after a Huerfano County deputy broke his ribs in an altercation and then allowed him to languish in a cell for one week without medical care.

Michael Burch’s 2023 death was ruled a homicide. But prosecutors declined to bring criminal charges against the deputy who used a Taser on Burch and wrestled with him in a Huerfano County jail cell. An autopsy found six of Burch’s right ribs had broken and his right lung collapsed. He wasn’t taken to a hospital but instead was transferred to another cell where he was found dead seven days later. The lawsuit alleges Burch suffered excruciating pain and that he constructed a “death bed” for himself as his broken ribs caused him to slowly asphyxiate.

Warning: Followers of the Watch may find this video disturbing.

Here is another reason why American policing requires a complete overhaul.

North Bergen Police Chief Robert Farley.

A police chief in Hudson County, New Jersey, is being accused of assaulting and harassing his officers in a lengthy list of complaints that includes defecating on floors, exposing himself, attempting to drug coworkers, and sticking a hypodermic needle into an officer’s penis. Chief Robert Farley, who was appointed chief of the North Bergen Police Department in February 2024, is also accused of retaliating against an officer who attempted to report him to the New Jersey Attorney General. Five police officers in North Bergen said they plan to sue over Farley’s alleged behavior, which also includes claims of retaliation, discrimination, sexual misconduct, and harassment.

Ilya Kukhar (26) was arrested for impersonating an immigration agent, after allegedly stalking a Ukrainian market with fake “ICE” decals on his car in Fife, Washington. Kukhar, who is “not employed by any federal law enforcement agency,” has been charged with one count of Criminal Impersonation in the Second Degree. He is currently not in police custody and his initial arraignment is scheduled for 11 Apr.

Countries had previously issued travel advisories to their citizens because of US firearm violence and measles. Now nations are advising their citizens to take precautions when visiting America because of ICE. The Trumpf junta is crushing dissent and causing a brain drain from the US, as well as an economic boycott. Canadians didn’t require such an advisory as thousands and thousands of them have voluntarily cancelled their travel plans to the US. Many began selling their vacation homes in Florida and other areas. Trumpf has turned America’s already over-policed country into the Fourth Reich.

Israeli Settlers Attempt to Torture and Lynch Oscar-Winning Filmmaker

The Palestinian co-director of Oscar-winning film “No Other Land” Hamdan Ballal was beaten up by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, taken away by IDF soldiers and detained overnight. Following his release from detention, Ballal had been “arbitrarily” held in police detention in Kiryat Arba’a and was beaten in custody by IDF soldiers. Following his release, he was moved to a hospital in Hebron, where he was treated for his injuries.

Despite suffering from dehydration and bruising, Ballal left the hospital returned home to his family in Susya in the occupied West Bank.  

These heinous attacks by the Settlers and the IDF should come as no surprise to the Followers of the Watch. Israel is an ethnic-cleansing police state, supported 100% by the US. Besides the ICC issuing an international arrest warrant for war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague condemned the State of Israel for committing genocide in Gaza and enforcing apartheid on Palestinians, all paid for by the hardworking American taxpayer. Accounting 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.

Israeli Settlers attacked IDF General Avi Bluth’s entourage in Nov 2024. The Rule of Law only exists for Israeli Jews in the apartheid state, as IDF and police officers are complicit in these crimes.

US national Faye Hall was released by the Taliban after having been detained in Afghanistan in Feb 2025. Hall is the fourth American released from Afghanistan since Jan 2025. Hall, two Britons, and their Afghan translator were detained earlier this year. Hall may have been detained for using a drone without authorization. In Jan 2025 Ryan Corbett and William McKenty were freed in exchange for an Afghan fighter, Khan Mohammed, who was convicted of narco-terrorism in the US. George Glezmann was freed after more than two years of detention in a deal brokered by Qatar. The US had lifted bounties on three senior Taliban figures, including the interior minister, who also heads the powerful Haqqani Network (HQN) blamed for attacks against Afghanistan’s former Western-backed government.

Ukraine Update

Five Children Returned From Russian Occupied Areas

Five children have been reunited with their families and returned from Russian occupied Ukrainian territories thanks to Qatari mediation, the head of the Ukrainian President’s office said. The children, aged between 11 and 16 years old, were returned from Russian-occupied Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia, under the Bring Kids Back UA initiative in coordination with the Ukrainian Ombudsman’s office.

The initial charges levied against Russian President Vladimir Putin by the ICC was for abducting Ukrainian children, a war crime.

First-Ever Military Mosque Opens in Ukraine

“On the initiative of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, in whose ranks many Muslim soldiers are fighting, the first military mosque As-Salam has appeared in our country,” said a spokesperson.

The solemn opening, as tradition dictates, began with the reading of the Quran, a holy book for Muslims, and a collective prayer. The event was attended by Muslim Defense Intelligence of Ukraine fighters, as well as the head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov.

Budanov thanked the soldiers who profess Islam for their courage in battles with the Russian occupiers and presented the mosque with collections of prayers and commemorations of Allah for a Muslim warrior, arranged by the Military Chaplaincy Service of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.

Intelligence Director Budanov is a sharp leader who knows that Muslims are fighting and dying for Ukraine. If these Muslims are in the intelligence services, many of them are undertaking risky espionage missions behind enemy lines or recruiting fellow Muslims to turn against Putin. Giving the Ukrainian Muslims a mosque is a gesture demonstrating that they aren’t second class citizens in a Christian-majority nation. Moreover, Ukraine Minister of Defense Rustem Enverovych Umyerov is a Crimean Tatar and therefore a Sunni Muslim who probably endorsed this idea.

Remarkable, while Trumpf and Netanyahu are making life absolutely miserable for Muslims, Ukraine President Volodomir Zelensky, who is Jewish, is doing the exact opposite.

New Powerful Re-Usable Ukrainian Drone Has 1,200 Mile Range

Ukraine’s latest unmanned aerial vehicle can fly 1,200 miles, drop a 550-pound bomb and return to base, making it potentially the most powerful reusable drone in the Russia-Ukraine war. In making its longest-range drones reusable, the drone branch could multiply the number and pace of deep strikes it conducts against targets inside Russia, which have lately included bomber bases and oil facilities. The strikes have raised the cost of Russian bomber sorties targeting Ukrainian cities, and depressed oil production in a country that utterly relies on energy exports for state revenue.

One of Vladimir Putin’s Limousines Explodes Near FSB HQ

A luxury limousine reportedly from Russian President Vladimir Putin's official fleet exploded in Moscow close to the FSB headquarters. The cause of the explosion remains under investigation, and it is unclear whether anyone was inside the vehicle at the time or if Putin was the intended target.

Olga Nesterova (@onestpress.bsky.social) 2025-03-29T22:32:29.302Z

Coriolanus is monitoring this incident and information is limited. Vladimir Putin is deeply paranoid about his personal security and employs layered security, so this is a curious affair. Below, loyal FSB officers ensure Putin’s Honor Guard are carrying unloaded weapons. In 1981, the late Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat was killed by his own soldiers while reviewing a parade.

Two Storks Finally Reunite After Winter Migration and War

One of the more unlikely celebrities in Ukraine is a stork named Hrytsko who returned to his home nest on 22 March in the village of Lelyaki, Poltava Oblast, to await the arrival of his girlfriend, Odarka. Ten minutes after his arrival, he started to clean up the place. Shortly after Hrystko arrived, he visited one of his neighbors, a beekeeper, to see how things were going.

Hrytsko has been nesting in Lelyaki since 2019. Villagers there are fond of him, coming to visit and feeding him from time to time. In Ukraine, a stork is considered to be a symbol of prosperity, family, happiness, well-being, and of the country itself. A livestream set up by a researcher in 2023 had made the couple a viral sensation in Ukraine.

Hrytsko spent 22 and 23 Mar alone in the nest but with hundreds of people watching him. One user even wrote that watching how Hrytsko is part of her “morning routine.”

For most of 24 Mar, Hrytsko was still solo, bracing himself against the wind and occasionally flying off to run errands. Finally, to the great relief of Ukrainians, Odarka finally showed up unharmed in the evening, re-uniting the happy couple.

Lead Poisoning Pervasive in Milwaukee, WI Schools

The Milwaukee Department of Health informs:

“At least one student has tested positive for lead poisoning after exposure at Golda Meir School Lower Campus. Lead hazards were widespread in the building, found on the ground in the boy’s bathroom, cafeteria, a hallway, the teacher’s lounge, kitchen areas and multiple rooms. Three other students at Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies, Maryland Avenue Montessori and Albert E. Kagel Dual Language School may have been lead-poisoned due to lead hazards from chipping lead-based paint and lead dust. Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies became the first MPS building to close due to its high lead levels, followed by Starms Early Childhood Center, Fernwood Montessori, and Lafollette School.”

The WHO reports that exposure to lead can affect multiple body systems. Lead exposure was attributed to more than 1.5 million deaths globally in 2021, primarily due to cardiovascular effects. The harmful impacts on health from lead exposure are entirely preventable. There is no level of exposure to lead that is known to be without harmful effects.

The people of Flint, Michigan underwent a public health crisis from 2014 to 2019 when their drinking water was found to contain lead and possibly Legionella bacteria. In April 2014, during a financial crisis, state-appointed emergency manager Darnell Earley changed Flint’s water source from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (sourced from Lake Huron and the Detroit River) to the Flint River. Residents complained about the taste, smell, and appearance of the water. Officials failed to apply corrosion inhibitors to the water, which resulted in lead from aging pipes leaching into the water supply, exposing around 100,000 residents to elevated lead levels.

The people of Milwaukee should not expect sympathy or help from the callous Trumpf junta which lives to serve the interests of the oligarchs and not the masses. Some Followers of the Watch may recall that in the famous 1970s TV comedy show “Happy Days” the teenagers attended the fictional Jefferson High School in Milwaukee. But students in that city are not enjoying any happy days right now in this environmental calamity.

Brazil Supreme Court: Jair Bolsonaro to Stand Trial Over Alleged Coup Attempt

Two criminal oligarchs. One may face justice, the other may not. (Undated photo from social media)

Brazil’s Supreme Court has accepted charges against former President Jair Bolsonaro over an alleged attempted coup to stay in office after his 2022 election defeat. The 8 Jan 2023 coup attempt in Brasilia was similar to the Trumpf-led 6 Jan 2021 insurrectionist attack on the US Capitol.

The five justices voted unanimously in favor of putting Bolsonaro and seven other accomplices on trial on five counts, including involvement in an armed criminal organization and attempted violent abolition of the democratic rule of law.

The populist Bolsonaro, who swept to power after a shock win at the 2018 election, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and says he’s being politically persecuted. Under Brazilian law, a coup conviction alone carries a sentence of up to 12 years. When combined with the other charges, it could potentially see enemy of the environment and the masses Jair Bolsonaro spend decades behind bars. Gut arbet.

Brazil, which is also standing up to Israel’s murderous campaign against the Palestinians, has demonstrated more respect for the Rule of Law than the US. Former President Joe Biden, VPOTUS Kamala Harris, and USAG Merrick Garland must be sitting around bewildered at this concept, when their administration had four years to deal with Trumpf one way or another.

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

China Unveils Powerful Diamond-Bladed Undersea Cable Cutter

Concept art of a severed undersea iInternet cable. (Image: X Screengrab)

China has developed a compact deep-sea device capable of cutting armored undersea cables at depths of 4,000 meters — twice the operational depth of existing subsea communication infrastructure. The tool, featuring a 150-mm diamond-coated grinding wheel spinning at 1,600 rpm, was designed for integration with China’s advanced submersibles. The development has raised concerns over the security of global undersea infrastructure, as such cables carry 95% of global data transmission and support critical military and civilian operations.

As you have read here on Coriolanus, Beijing has reportedly already cut cables to Taiwan and is constructing large ‘D-Day’ type amphibious landing craft for a potential invasion of the island republic.

There is no mystery that Beijing wishes to assimilate Taiwan one day. But China is keeping a wary eye on North Korea, who has been getting too cozy to Beijing’s dismay. The Kremlin as been increasing the number, power, and accuracy of North Korea’s WMDs. So, at one point, the Chinese CCP is going to tire of the lunatic Kim Jong-un dynasty at their border with an ever-increasing nuclear stockpile. China is much more interwoven into the capitalist global economy than unstable Russia and North Korea. Coriolanus would be surprised if Beijing did NOT have a contingency plan to one day overwhelm North Korea and defang the nefarious Kim Jong-un once and for all. The “Inchon-style” amphibious landing craft would come in handy for a three-pronged attack from north, east and west.

Cat Keeps Jumping Onto Couple’s Boat For Playdates

US National Security in Utter Shambles Under Trumpf

The Dotard-in-Chief (Photo: Reuters)

After US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) approved the appalling Trumpf junta federal budget to further enrich the oligarchs and secure the flow of uninterrupted military aid to Israel earlier this month, Benjamin Netanyahu re-started his genocidal campaign against the Palestinians in Gaza. Simultaneously that very weekend, Trumpf ordered the bombing of Shia Houthis in Yemen as a favor to both Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman. Both of them loathe the Shias and Iranians, as you read about here on Coriolanus.

Remarkably, USSECDEF Pete Hegseth, a known alcoholic, during that same weekend erroneously texted the classified US attack plans on the starving Houthis to a journalist working for the Atlantic magazine.

The tremendously under-qualified Pete Hegseth, a former Fox TV host who threw an axe at a musician during one of his shows, used a commercial cell phone application called Signal to relay Top Secret information to several Trump junta leaders, but also included the journalist who was not cleared to receive this information. The text message included the name of an undercover CIA intelligence officer, amongst other things. War plans and names of intelligence officers are never meant to be disclosed outside secure facilities or communication networks or to uncleared civilians. This means that Russian, Chinese, and Israeli intelligence potentially intercepted Hegseth’s message and all the little details in it.

The NSA issued an operational security special bulletin to the USIC in Feb 2025 warning of the vulnerabilities in using the encrypted messaging application Signal.

From professional experience, your author can testify that careers in the USIC have been destroyed over much less violations. And in any other country, this egregious conduct would lead to an immediate court-martial. Only under the Trumpf junta can a dipsomaniac, misogynist, racist USSECDEF with access to nuclear weapons be allowed to thrive. Congress acted immediately by summoning the ODNI and D/CIA, two satraps appointed to the crown jewels of the USIC because of their cultish loyalty to Trumpf, and not their competence or experience. Listen to how much the D/CIA knows below:

Warner, with Gabbard and Ratcliffe sitting in front of him: "If this was the case of a military officer or an intelligence officer and they had this kind of behavior, they would be fired."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-03-25T14:18:47.048Z

Using Signal is also extraordinary given that a constant refrain of President Trumpf’s 2015 presidential election campaign was the need to “lock up” Hillary Clinton for using a private server for her emails.

DOGE Cuts Could Send Former USIC Personnel to Adversarial Powers

FTA:

“For Russia, China and other adversaries, the upheaval in Washington as Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency guts government agencies presents an unprecedented opportunity to recruit informants, national security and intelligence experts say.

Every former federal worker with knowledge of or access to sensitive information or systems could be a target. When thousands of them leave their jobs at the same time, that creates a lot of targets, as well as a counterespionage challenge for the US.

“This information is highly valuable, and it shouldn’t be surprising that Russia and China and other organizations — criminal syndicates for instance — would be aggressively recruiting government employees,” said Theresa Payton, a former White House chief information officer under President George W. Bush, who now runs her own cybersecurity firm.”

Every year 100,000 federal employees retire or leave government work. This year will be higher because of DOGE. Only a tiny fraction of the many millions of Americans who have worked for the federal government have ever been accused of espionage. It takes only one or two misguided or disgruntled workers to cause a national security crisis. Former FBI agent Robert Hanssen and former CIA officer Aldrich Ames, who both spied for Russia, show just how damaging a single informant can be.”

This is a numbers game. By probability and statistics, US counterintelligence agencies can expect to see more cases of espionage or former USIC personnel working for foreign companies that may be shells for Beijing, Jerusalem, or Moscow.

Trumpf Junta Continues Useless Threats Against Greenland

Republican JD Vance and Democrat Usha Vance at their wedding.

The Trumpf junta is sending Second Lady Usha Vance to Greenland later this week. She will be joined by Energy Secretary Chris Wright and national security adviser Mike Waltz. Vance, who is taking one of her two sons, will visit historical sites, learn about Greenlandic heritage and attend a national dogsled race. The officials will embark on the trip as Trumpf sharpens his proposal to take over Greenland, a mineral-rich island that houses a US military base.

Sending dark-skinned Usha Vance is a shameful and cynical attempt to soften the image of white supremacist America to native Inuits in Greenland.  Does anybody think they’ll be fooled up there?

Trumpf Junta to Eliminate FEMA

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told a Cabinet meeting that the department would move to “eliminate” the government’s disaster relief agency, days after Trumpf signed an executive order directing state and local governments to “play a more active and significant role” in responding to catastrophes.

From 2015 to Aug 2024, red states Florida, Louisiana, and Texas have benefited the most from the Individuals and Households Program (IHP). Florida residents have received $2.5 billion, Louisiana residents have gotten $2.4 billion, and Texas residents have received $2.3 billion. Republicans who voted for Trumpf shot themselves in the foot.

Besides helping Republicans recover from flooding, hurricanes, and tornados, which there will be more of because of global climate change, FEMA has a national civil defense (CD) role in the event of a debilitating attack on the US by terrorists or adversarial powers.

Trumpf Junta Sloppily Releases De-Classified JFK Assassination Files   

Joseph diGenova was victimized by the release.

“It’s absolutely outrageous. It’s sloppy, unprofessional,” said former Trumpf campaign lawyer Joseph diGenova (80) whose private information was included in the massive release. Trumpf staffers recklessly released the documents online without redacting personal information. “It not only means identity theft, but I’ve had threats against me,” said diGenova, a fixture in Republican and Washington legal circles who has fiercely defended Trump and has pounced on his critics on cable news. “In the past, I’ve had to report real threats against me to the FBI. There are dangerous nuts out there.”

Released JFK files: www.archives.gov

The irony is rich when a Trumpf acolyte is screwed over by Trumpf acolytes. This is the type of idiotic sloppiness that Americans and the world must get accustomed to. The guardians and custodians of US secrets are unprofessional, incompetent clowns and US national security is in utter disarray. No wonder the new Canadian PM Mark Carney immediately flew to London and Paris for security talks, by-passing the Rogue State led by buffoons, criminals, goniffs, and a premier Russian asset despoiling his southern border.

Anonymous Warns Donald Trumpf and Felon Musk

Anonymous is a global collective of unpaid volunteers operating secretly in cyberspace using their formidable IT and computer skills to disrupt unjust or nefarious actors throughout the world. The private communications and computer systems used by Felon Musk or Donald Trumpf are vulnerable to their penetrations. Anonymous has warned them to temper their fascistic and greedy goals or face the consequences. But Followers of the Watch need not be concerned by the activities of Anonymous as they only target those that deserve to be targeted.

Turkish President Arrests Opposition Leader

Followers of the Watch: The UK FCO issued a travel advisory to avoid travelling to Turkiye until the unrest ends.

The popular Ekrem İmamoğlu won Istanbul’s mayoralty three times.

The arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, the leading political rival of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on corruption charges — after being accused of both corruption and terrorism — marks yet another sign that Turkiye is becoming the next Iran: A state where elections are tightly controlled, rigged in advance and reduced to a democratic façade without free and fair campaign conditions. Tens of thousands of people across Turkiye have been protesting the arrest. Demonstrators have been fired upon with tear gas and rubber bullets in what has become the worst unrest in the country for more than a decade.

For over a decade Erdogan has systematically weaponized the criminal justice system, installing loyalist judges and prosecutors while co-opting opposition figures through bribery, blackmail, and intimidation. His goal is to ensure that any candidate who makes it onto the ballot is already set up for failure. Erdogan overuses the broad-brush term of “teror” for his political enemies, whether they are Gulenists or ethnic Kurds in the opposition parties.

Although Imamoglu was removed from office by the Interior Ministry, legal experts suggest that the ongoing terrorism case could be used as further justification for appointing a trustee to govern Istanbul and to neutralize a key rival ahead of the 2028 presidential election. The legal proceedings are part of a broader government strategy to undermine opposition-controlled municipalities and weaken political dissent.

In terms of military power, Turkiye is ranked 9 out of 145 countries by the Global Firepower Index (GFI). They maintain the second largest army in NATO and the US maintains 50 B-61 Cold War-era nuclear gravity bombs in Incirlik AFB. Ankara signaled Turkiye’s readiness to provide peacekeepers to Ukraine.

During Coriolanus’ military career, he had the distinct honor of working closely with the Turkish Special Forces in the Middle East and he befriended a few of the Generals. Their professionalism, competence, and experience were first-rate.

Turkiye’s first female air force pilot was the adopted daughter of Kemal Pasha Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkiye.

Mustapha Pasha Kemal Ataturk founded the CHP Party and would disapprove of a candidate from his party being so shabbily mistreated and manhandled.

China to Execute Former Defense Engineer for Selling J-35A Stealth Fighter Secrets

In a case that has sent shockwaves through China’s national security circles, a former assistant defense engineer, identified as Liu, has been sentenced to death for leaking classified intelligence on China’s J-35A fifth-generation stealth fighter to foreign intelligence agencies.

The Ministry of State Security (MSS) confirmed the espionage case in a rare and forceful statement, exposing the extent of China’s internal security vulnerabilities and the potential damage to its military advancements.

Liu was a former assistant engineer at a leading defense research institute specializing in military aviation technology. MSS sources revealed that Liu became disgruntled after being passed over for promotion, prompting him to illegally copy, store, and ultimately sell classified defense-related documents. Following his resignation, Liu briefly worked for an investment firm, but mounting financial losses from risky stock speculation and unauthorized credit withdrawals drove him to seek alternative means of income—ultimately leading him to trade state secrets for money.

Over a six-month period, Liu traveled to multiple countries, allegedly leaking highly sensitive Chinese defense intelligence to foreign operatives using sophisticated tradecraft. However, his handlers—foreign intelligence agents— reportedly cut ties with him after acquiring crucial data at a low cost, a move that left Liu vulnerable and exposed.

Rather than abandoning his operations, Liu refined his espionage methods and attempted to re-establish contact with foreign intelligence agencies. His actions raised red flags within China’s national security apparatus, triggering intensive surveillance that led to his eventual arrest in a covert counterintelligence operation.

Chinese security services use facial recognition devices built into their sunglasses.

According to MSS, Liu was convicted of espionage and the illegal transfer of state secrets. The court handed down the ultimate penalty—execution, along with lifelong deprivation of political rights, underscoring the gravity of the offense.

Beijing has made it clear that national security remains an uncompromising priority, warning that espionage and unauthorized intelligence leaks will face the harshest possible legal repercussions. Liu’s espionage case serves as a stark reminder of the high-stakes nature of military intelligence leaks. His swift trial and execution highlight China’s zero-tolerance approach to national security threats, particularly as Beijing works to protect its most sensitive military projects from foreign intelligence infiltration.

The irony is rich, since China stole the technology for their stealth fighter from the US and now a foreign adversary stole that technology. The MSS did not disclose who the foreign power is and the suspects in this case could be anybody, including the US, the UK, France, Germany, Taiwan, Australia, Japan, Israel, Russia, North Korea, or South Korea.

China is assessed to execute more prisoners each year than the rest of the world combined.

China’s Penal Code of 1997 has 46 crimes punishable by death, including 24 violent crimes and 22 non-violent crimes. Beijing does not recognize dual citizenship and recently executed four Canadians, prompting Ottawa to issue a travel advisory to her citizens.

Executing spies may serve as an example to terrorize one’s population, but is poor tradecraft. Beijing is better off not to execute the convicted spy as “Liu” may have more secrets to reveal in exchange for better living conditions in his prison. If the MSS think someone is a foreign spy, “Liu” might be able to confirm or deny their suspicion. Lastly, should a Chinese operative be caught by the same foreign adversary which handled “Liu,” Beijing could swap their prisoners, like Russia, Ukraine, and the Western powers have practiced for years. Once a spy has been killed, he is of no value to any intelligence service.

China Executes Former Defense Engineer for Leaking J-35A Stealth Fighter Secrets

Sweden: Convicted Spy Must Taxes from His Russian Salary

Iranian-born Peyman Kia (Photo: Government of Sweden)

Peyman Kia -currently serving life in prison for espionage – must now cough up tax on the hefty sum he received from Russia’s notorious military intelligence service, the GRU. In 2014 and 2015, Peyman Kia (44), worked for Sweden’s domestic intelligence agency, as well as for the country’s armed forces. Swedish prosecutors allege that he sold the Russians sensitive information from the Swedish security and intelligence service, known by its acronym Säpo. Peyman Kia was arrested in Sep 2021 and his younger brother Payam in Nov 2021. Payam was convicted as well and received a ten-year sentence for lesser role in the espionage.

After the conviction, the Swedish Tax Authority went after Peyman Kia’s Russian salary. After a back-and-forth legal battle, the Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal recently overturned a previous ruling and decided that the 1.2 million kronor (paid in US dollars) Kia pocketed from the Russians isn’t just ‘dirty money’ – it’s taxable dirty money. In other words, when it comes to the Swedish Tax Authority, there’s simply no messing around. They want their cut.

The tragedy here lies in the fact that the two Iranian-born siblings became naturalized citizens in Sweden, a nation that ranks fifth on the Global Happiness Index; Iran is ranked a dismal 98. Stockholm has a bargaining chip with the Kremlin should a Swedish spy be detained in Russia. Moreover, Peyman Kia is available for further de-briefings from the Säpo.

The death toll from the Kala-azar disease that has ravaged Wajir since Sep 2024 has hit 20, with demands for its declaration as a pandemic.

The main Level IV hospital in Wajir is overrun with Leishmaniasis every day, forcing patients to be treated outside, under the shade of trees. Most of the regions affected by Kal-Azar are in Eldas and Wajir West where the local government began a fumigation campaign targeting over 10,000 households.

According to CIA, Kenya has a population of 58,246,378 and GDP per capita is $5,700.

The local health authorities are stretched thin and test kits for Leishmaniasis must be outsourced from the Netherlands. Most of the deaths are recorded in children under five who have low immunity.

The WHO informs:

There are three main forms of leishmaniases: visceral (the most serious form because it is almost always fatal without treatment), cutaneous (the most common, usually causing skin ulcers), and mucocutaneous (affecting mouth, nose and throat).

Leishmaniasis is caused by protozoan parasites which are transmitted by the bite of infected female phlebotomine sandflies.

The disease affects some of the world’s poorest people and is associated with malnutrition, population displacement, poor housing, a weak immune system and lack of financial resources.

An estimated 700,000 to one million new cases occur annually.

Only a small fraction of those infected by parasites causing leishmaniasis will eventually develop the disease.

Donald Trumpf and Felon Musk’s brutal dismantling of USAID has harmed Kenyans. USAID’s abrupt departure has plunged hundreds of thousands of Kenyans into a state of uncertainty and fear. For many, USAID’s projects were lifelines, offering essential support in healthcare, education and economic development. Programs that were instrumental in maintaining the well-being of countless Kenyans—ranging from maternal health to HIV/AIDS treatment— are now gone, leaving a significant void in the healthcare landscape. While this outbreak began before the Trumpf junta took power, USAID is not in Kenya or other parts of Africa to mitigate disasters.

Members of the US Congress frequent Kenya and other exotic locations on what are called fact-finding “CODELs,” flying around the world on their DC Air National Guard passenger plane. Coriolanus flew on one these comfortable airplanes years ago and the food was delicious. These delegations enjoy American tax-payer funded safaris as they “monitor” US projects in Kenya or other parts of the world. Coincidentally, many CODELs to the southern hemisphere occur during America’s winter months. The Karma would be priceless should a Republican congressman be stricken with an exotic disease in Africa while enjoying his arduous fact-finding trip to the Serengeti.

Great Dane Tries to Win Over Tiny Kitten

Trumpf’s Reign of Terror Reaches New Horrific Lows

Followers of the Watch, there is much to cover and little time, so let’s get started right away. Simply put, within two short months Dotard Trumpf has turned America into a Rogue State and an International Pariah. So, which despicable act to begin with?

Trumpf Rejects Mexico’s Request for Water in Tijuana

The US has refused a request by Mexico for water, alleging shortfalls in sharing by its southern neighbor. This was the first time that the US had rejected a request by Mexico for special delivery of water, which would have gone to the border city of Tijuana.

“Mexico’s continued shortfalls in its water deliveries under the 1944 water-sharing treaty are decimating American agriculture – particularly farmers in the Rio Grande valley,” the State Department’s alleged.

The 1944 treaty, which governs water allocation from the Rio Grande and Colorado River, has come under growing strain in recent years due to the pressures of the climate crisis and the burgeoning populations and agriculture in parched areas.

Trumpf Expels South Africa’s Ambassador to US

Describing him as a “race-baiting politician,” USSECSTATE Marco Rubio expelled South Africa’s ambassador to Washington. In a post on X, Rubio accused Ebrahim Rasool of hating the US and President Donald Trumpf, and said the ambassador was “no longer welcome in our great country.” The rare move by the US marks the latest development in rising tensions between the two countries. Pretoria may reciprocate. The manifestly underqualified Marco Rubio is America’s top diplomat.

DHS Revokes Legal Status of 532,000 Haitians and Latin Americans

The Department of Homeland Security said that it will revoke legal protections for hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, setting them up for potential deportation in April. These refugees came to the US legally, playing by the rules, doing everything that was required of them by the Federal Government.

The order applies to about 532,000 people from the four countries who came to the US since Oct 2022. They arrived with financial sponsors and were given two-year permits to live and work in the US. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said they will lose their legal status on 24 Apr, or 30 days after the publication of the notice in the Federal Register.

This is the same Kristi Noem who proudly admitted in her autobiography to killing an undisciplined puppy. This psychopath is prohibited from entering indigenous reservations in her home state of South Dakota.

Trumpf Planning Another Travel Ban

Trumpf is considering a new travel ban that could affect citizens from up to 43 countries, meant to address “national security and public safety threats.” Citizens from the 11 countries in the “red” category would be entirely barred from entering the US. These countries include Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. Countries in the “orange” category would affect immigrant, tourist and student visas, with some exception. The list consists of Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Turkmenistan.

ICE and DHS have been detaining pro-Palestinian college students on visas who demonstrated in 2024 or express anti-Israeli sentiments, in violation of the US Constitution guaranteeing free speech.

Trumpf needn’t be concerned about issuing a travel ban. An exodus of both people and capital from the US is taking place. Besides, refugees leaving these places to escape political violence can easily be killed in the firearm death epidemic plaguing the US, so why would they come to America?

Foreigners, Tourists Terrified of US Police State

Despite being lawful permanent residents of the US, legal immigrants with green cards are starting to panic about being kicked out of the country by the Trumpf administration. “If I were not a citizen, I would think long and hard before I traveled. And that includes green card holders,” said immigration attorney David Leopold. Germany issued a travel advisory to its citizens traveling to US to make sure their paperwork is in order. A handful of Germans have already been detained by ICE, in addition to some Canadians. International travel agents have been urging their clients to avoid the US. Canadians have begun their boycott of American products and travel to the US. Canadian tourist spending in the US totaled $20.5 billion in 2024; a 10% drop risks $2.1 billion and 140,000 jobs.

Gladys and Nelson Gonzalez came to the US from Colombia without authorization some 35 years ago, raised three daughters and now have a new grandson. The couple was deported to Colombia earlier this week after living in California and paying taxes for 35 years, living the so-called “American dream.” This punishment is the equivalent of firing a cannonball at a housefly.

Trumpf Rescinds Security Clearances of Prominent Democrats

Trumpf rescinded the security clearances of Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, several members of the Biden administration, and other prominent Democrats. Trumpf had already revoked Joe Biden’s security clearance. Previous victims of Godzilla’s rampage: Antony Blinken, Adam Kinzinger, LTC Alexander Vindman (Ret), NYAG Letitia James, NY DA Alvin Bragg, Gen Mark Milley, Jake Sullivan, Elizabeth Cheney, Fiona Hill, Lisa Monaco, former US Ambassador to the Czech Republic Norman Eisen, and attorney Mark Zaid. Trumpf also revoked the USSS protective detail for Hunter and Ashley Biden, Joe’s surviving adult children.

Trumpf’s vindictiveness impairs these people to work again in the USG as contractors, employees, or political figures. Removing the USSS detail from Biden’s adult children may imperil them from lunatics because of all the hatred Republicans generated against the Bidens these past several years.

Trumpf, to please his white supremacist Republican followers and himself, is bleaching the US of people of color. At the same time, America’s Godzilla is recklessly damaging America’s economy and reputation, something that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to see. Trumpf is maliciously killing two birds with one stone.

Trumpf Debases US With $5m “Gold” Immigration Cards for Oligarchs

Arch-goniff and billionaire Howard Lutnick, Trumpf’s Commerce Secretary, announced that he secured $5 billion in a single day by selling 1,000 immigration gold cards, each valued at $5 million. Lutnick said that with a market of 37 million potential buyers, Trumpf is confident they can generate at least $5 trillion by selling one million of these exclusive cards.

Billionaire Howard Lutnick claimed that “real Americans” like his 94-year-old mother-in-law won’t complain if they miss a social security check one month because of clerical error.

Jessica Aber (43) Who Investigated Russian Criminals Found Dead in Virginia

Former US Attorney Jessica Aber (43) was found dead at her Virginia residence Saturday morning. Police responded to a call about an “unresponsive woman” and have launched an investigation. Aber, who resigned in January after serving since 2021, was hailed as an “irreplaceable” leader and prosecutor. The cause of death is yet to be determined by the chief medical examiner. Authorities have not revealed any signs of foul play but continue to examine the circumstances surrounding her sudden passing.

INTERPOL Solves Spanish Cold Case

INTERPOL informs:

“A woman who died in unexplained circumstances in Spain has been identified as 33-year-old Ainoha Izaga Ibieta Lima, from Paraguay. This was the first successful trans-continental identification made as part of INTERPOL’s Identify Me program.

The international cold case campaign, coordinated by INTERPOL with six European countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain), aims to seek the public’s help in identifying 46 women whose bodies were found in Europe over recent decades.

One of those cases, submitted by Spanish authorities, related to an unidentified female discovered in the province of Girona, Spain, on 6 Aug 2018. The woman was found hanging in a poultry shed attached to a farmhouse. She was not carrying any identity papers and no one in the area knew who she was, or how she got there. The victim had a tattoo on her left forearm of the word ‘success’ in Hebrew. Despite extensive investigations by local police, the woman was never identified.

A breakthrough came in March 2025 when Paraguayan authorities matched fingerprints uploaded by Spain to INTERPOL’s Black Notice against their own national databases, as part of the Identify Me initiative.

The first round of Identify Me, launched in 2023, also yielded noteworthy results, with the identification of Rita Roberts, a British woman who was found murdered in Antwerp in 1992. The family of Rita Roberts contacted the appeal hotline after they recognized their relative’s tattoo from news coverage of the campaign.

Identify Me is the first time INTERPOL has released public extracts from Black Notices, which are used to seek information internationally on unidentified bodies and to determine the circumstances surrounding a death. Black Notices can include information on the location where the body was found, biometric information (DNA, fingerprints, facial images), dental charts, physical descriptions of the body or clothing and any other details relevant to identifying the deceased.”

Now that Spanish and Paraguayan police have brought closure to Ms. Lima’s family, they now have a better chance of discovering whether she committed suicide or was murdered.

Russia Targets Odessa During Czech President’s Visit

Russia launched three waves of Shahed-type drones on Odessa during a visit to the city by Czech President Petr Pavel on 20 Mar. Three people were injured during the attack and civilian infrastructure was damaged. Last year Putin launched a missile strike on Odessa which landed danger-close to visiting Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

“The entire civilized world should see Russia’s crimes against Ukraine,” Ukraine Deputy PM Okeksii Kuleba said.

A UN report recently condemned Russian’s actions against the children of Ukraine:

“Between 24 Feb 2022 and 31 Dec 2024, 669 children were killed and 1,833 injured, many as a result of the extensive use of explosive weapons in populated areas. Of these, 521 were killed and 1,529 injured in territory controlled by Ukraine, and 148 were killed and 304 injured in currently occupied territory. The actual numbers are likely much higher. As of Dec 2024, an estimated 737,000 children had been internally displaced by the hostilities. A further 1.7 million were refugees, many of them separated from a parent, usually their father.” 

An international arrest warrant remains active for Russian President Vladimir Putin (and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu), despite Trumpf’s sanctions against the ICC.

67,042 Afrikaners Interested in Trumpf Re-Settlement Plan

The US Embassy in South Africa received a list of 67,042 Afrikaners interested in refugee status under Trump’s plan to relocate them in the US. The list was given to the embassy by the South African Chamber of Commerce in the US, which said it became a point of contact for white South Africans asking about the program announced by the Trumpf administration last month. The chamber said the list does not constitute official applications.

South Africa has the second highest rate of gun ownership in Africa, so these Afrikaners will fit in perfectly with America. Red States like Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, or Texas will be perfect for them.

A senior FBI agent has been charged with unlawfully taking and disclosing classified FBI files. Johnathan Buma, who specialized in national security and terror cases, has been released on $100,000 bond, with orders to appear in court in Los Angeles. Buma was arrested as he boarded an international flight at JFK airport in NY. He allegedly printed of caches of FBI records from an internal agency network. Nearly 130 files might have been compromised. A Trumpf critic, Buma previously testified to Congress about the political investigations (witch hunts) against Hunter Biden, as well as Russian oligarchs (see bottom link).

US Warzone: Three Dead, 15 Wounded in New Mexico Mass Shooting

Three suspects, including two 17-year-old boys, have been arrested and charged with multiple counts of murder stemming from a mass shooting that left three teenagers dead and 15 other people injured at an unsanctioned car show at a park in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

In an average year, 507 people die and 821 are wounded by guns in New Mexico, which has the 9th-highest rate of gun violence in the US. The attack sounded like a warzone firefight:
