Canada: Victims of Cold War CIA MK-Ultra Brainwashing Experiments Cleared to Sue

A Quebec Superior Court judge has authorized a class-action lawsuit brought forward by victims of brainwashing experiments conducted at the Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal — experiments infamous for their affiliation with the CIA-funded MK-Ultra program. The lawsuit names the Royal Victoria Hospital, McGill University and the Government of Canada as defendants. It alleges that the government funded, and the Royal Victoria Hospital and McGill University enabled, “depatterning treatments” that violated the patients’ bodies and minds.

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

Dr Cameron’s notes on a patient.

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

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

USIC Dysfunction Festers Under Trumpf Junta

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

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

FBI Under More Duress

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

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

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

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

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

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

Russian Hackers Penetrate US Criminal Justice System Computers

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

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

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

US Army Soldier Charged With Selling Military Secrets to Russia

Taylor Adam Lee (Photo: US Army)

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

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

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

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

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

Russian Intelligence Agents Arrest Fugitive Oligarch in Dubai

Superrich Vyacheslav Solovyov in an undated photo.

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

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

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

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

Mexico Extradites 26 Cartel Members to US

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

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

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

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

London Chess Prodigy, Ten Years Old, Becomes Master Player

From the BBC:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sudan: Cholera Outbreak Kills 40 People in One Week

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

IDF Brazenly and Openly Killing Journalists

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

Jodie Ginsberg from The Guardian reports:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Horrors Continue for Palestinians

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

Resistance to Israeli Atrocities and AIPAC Complicity Growing

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

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

Link: Marjorie Taylor Greene Accuses AIPAC of ‘Breaking U.S. Laws’

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

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

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

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

Democratic Party Must Rid Itself of AIPAC to Win Elections Again

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

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

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

The Day After the Election (6 Nov 2024)

“But Joe, I followed the AIPAC script!”

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

One AI calculation:

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

Between 2020 and 2024, the Democratic Party lost 6,265,888 votes.

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

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

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

Shy Rescue Cat Loves Only One Person

No Doubt America’s Godzilla is Russian Asset, But When Did The Kremlin Recruit Trumpf?

Followers of the Watch should not have been surprised by the US position at the recent NATO conference in Munich, Germany. Basically, Donald Trumpf abandoned support for Kiev after his demands for half of Ukraine’s rare earths were rebuffed. But that too was kabuki theater, just like Trumpf’s previous bloviating against Vladimir Putin to stop the war against Ukraine, ominously threatening that all “options were under consideration.” The historic parallel to British and French appeasement to Nazi Germany over Czechoslovakia in Munich 1938 is remarkable.

Henceforth, the EU, NATO, and the world for that matter, must treat the US as being under the nefarious occupation of Russia for at least the next four years, as if America was invaded and defeated like France or the Netherlands during the Second World War. NATO leaders are scrambling to find solutions to assist Ukraine without the US and will come up with workarounds. One answer might be through EUFOR, an entity the US does not participate in. Allies will stop sharing critical intelligence with the US.

What a Trumpf Tower in Russia might look like.

Many theories have propagated about how Donald Trumpf became an asset for the Kremlin. One theory is Russian intelligence holds compromising and damaging information on the 47th President (kompramat). In the 2016 election, Trumpf didn’t hesitate to publicly invoke the assistance of Russia or Wikileaks: “Russia, if you’re listening now….” Wikileaks then published damaging information about Hillary Clinton. Another theory is the KGB recruited Trumpf in 1977 who saw him as an “exploitable target”. In 1987 after returning from Russia with his wife Ivana, Trumpf ran political advertisements critical of US foreign policy that was detrimental to the USSR.

One investigative journalist alleged that Donald Trumpf was a Confidential Informant (“CI”) for the FBI, coughing up an occasional Russian or Italian mobster in NYC while making money with them. In the 1980s and 90s, Trumpf’s greatest legal exposure was his dealings with the Russian mafia in NYC. This theory explains why many of Trumpf’s associates were convicted of crimes in NYC back then, while nothing happened to him other than declaring business bankruptcies.

After his arrest on 11 Dec 1990, mobster Sammy “the Bull” Gravano turned state’s evidence to help convict godfather John Gotti, his nominal boss. The lead prosecutor of the case was Robert Swan Mueller III. When Trumpf found out Mueller was named Special Counsel to investigate him, he collapsed into a chair and muttered, “I’m f*cked.” This theory also explains why Trumpf is purging both the FBI and government records wherever possible.

Russian-American mobster, convicted felon, and Former Donald Trumpf associate Felix Sater became an informant for the FBI and testified unsatisfactorily to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HSPIC).

Whenever Trumpf was recruited by the Kremlin remains unclear, despite all of the official and unofficial investigations conducted over the past several years. What is clear, is that Trumpf and the Republican’s white supremacist philosophy aligns with that of Vladimir Putin, in addition to their shared commitment to wealthy oligarchs.

Vladimir Lenin’s term for these two were “useful idiots.” When Trumpf and DOGE cut their Medicare and social security benefits, who will they blame?

Vladimir Putin arrogantly escorting his cultivated intelligence asset in Helsinki, Finland, in 2018. Both conferred without bodyguards or interpreters around them as Putin’s English is more than passable (and he is fluent in German).

Oracle Titan Larry Ellison Wants to Put Data, Including DNA, in One Huge AI System

As if dealing with Felon Musk is hard to stomach, here comes Larry Ellison…

Oligarchs must see us as chattel, experiments, organ donors, or something to be eaten.

FTA:

“If governments want AI to improve services and security for their citizens, then they need to put all their information in one place – even citizens’ genomic data – according to Larry Ellison, the Oracle database tycoon.

Ellison shared his take on what governments need to do to succeed with AI during a discussion with his buddy former UK prime minister Tony Blair at the World Governments Summit in Dubai.

The world’s fourth-most-richest man – a good friend also of the world’s richest man Elon Musk – insisted artificial intelligence is soon going to change everyone’s lives ‘across the board.'”

Ellison wants constant AI surveillance of everyone to keep people “on their best behavior.”

The 1978 film Coma was based on Robin Cook’s bestseller about organ harvesting for the wealthy.

American Detainees in Mexico

Mexican prison inmates. (Photo: Reuters)

There are less than 100 Americans wrongfully detained overseas in Russia, China, and Venezuela, and considered political prisoners. AMCITs are also legitimately convicted and imprisoned overseas for crimes such as drug trafficking or violent crime. The State Dept website was unable to provide these numbers.

During one of Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum’s daily press briefings, she confirmed a journalist’s inquiry about American detainees in Mexico with a staggering number.

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo

President Sheinbaum stated that over the past six years, 2,600 American citizens were arrested in Mexico for offenses related to organized crime — including the smuggling of drugs and firearms — since Dec 2018. She added that the US government asked for “many” of them to be extradited to face charges in the US.

“In the United States, there is also organized crime, and there are US citizens who come to Mexico … to carry out these illicit activities. Why do we say there is organized crime in the US? Because if there wasn’t, who would distribute fentanyl in US cities?” Sheinbaum said.

President Sheinbaum reiterated that Mexico is willing to collaborate with the US government on security issues. However, she stressed that Washington also has to “do its work” to “avoid the trafficking of drugs in their country.”

There is only one gun shop in the entire country of Mexico which is located on a military base near the capital. But in 2023, Mexico suffered 31,062 homicides Between 200,000 and 750,000 weapons manufactured by US gunmakers are smuggled across the border into Mexico every year, many of which are found at crime scenes. The Mexicans call this the ‘Iron River.’ American drug use and weapons manufacturing are driving up deaths in the US and Mexico. President Sheinbaum is considering lawsuits against US gunmakers.

Sudan and Russia Finalize Naval Base Agreement

Yasen-class nuclear submarine in Havana, Cuba.

In a joint press conference. Khartoum and Moscow are in full agreement on establishing a Russian naval base in Sudan. The agreement for constructing the naval facility in Port Sudan was initially signed in 2020, with discussions starting as early as 2017.

The base is intended to host up to four Russian ships and no more than 300 personnel. The agreement faced delays due to the fall of President Omar al-Bashir’s regime, which was replaced by military rule. The nation witnessed coups in 2019 and 2021. Additionally, reports from Dec 2024 indicated Sudan’s refusal to host the Russian base.

Bloomberg reported, citing sources within Sudanese intelligence, Russia offered Sudan an advanced S-400 surface-to-air missile system to seal the deal.

Aid organizations have said Sudan is the scene of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with the largest internally displaced population and fears that famine has broken out in parts of the country.

The civil war that started in April 2023 between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) further complicated relations between Russia and Sudan, as the Wagner group threw its weight behind the RSF while the Kremlin appeared to back the Sudanese army.

With the US pulling out of Africa, expect China and Russia to fill the void, expanding their influence and power bases. This appears to be a small base for Russian naval operations, but anything is better than nothing. After the fall of Bashar al-Assad, the fate of Russia’s air and naval base in Syria is still up in the air. If the Kremlin offered Sudan an advanced air defense weapon to “seal the deal,” that may be a sign of urgency on their part to secure something on the African continent.

Preventable Measles Outbreak in Western Texas

A fast-growing measles outbreak in West Texas has escalated from two children in one county to 48 people across multiple counties in just two weeks.

To assist with Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s confirmation as Secretary of Health and Human Services, America’s Godzilla wrote on Truth Social:

“20 years ago, Autism in children was 1 in 10,000. NOW IT’S 1 in 34. WOW! Something’s really wrong. We need BOBBY!!! Thank You! DJT,”

In 2013, Trumpf tweeted:

“Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn’t feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!”

Measles was a leading cause of death in the early 20th century. In the 1950s, the US reported over 500,000 cases of measles each year. In 2000, the US declared measles eliminated due to a highly effective vaccination program. From 2000–2023, measles vaccination prevented an estimated 60.3 million deaths globally. In 2023, 107,500 people died from measles worldwide, mostly children.

America’s Godzilla is spreading lies about vaccinations to the American people while Felon Musk’s DOGE guts the CDC, NIH, and HHS, an organization that anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr will now head. More Americans will needlessly get sick and die during the next four years.

America’s Godzilla will kill many Americans over the next four years.

Top Canadian Lawmaker Vows 100% Tariffs on Musk’s Teslas in ‘Surgical’ Reprisals to Future Trump Threats

Chrystia Freeland, who is running to replace Justin Trudeau, has threatened tariffs on Musk’s Teslas (AP)

Lawmaker has threatened to slap a 100% tax on Elon Musk’s Tesla vehicles in retaliation to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Chrystia Freeland, who resigned last month as Justin Trudeau’s deputy and finance minister, has vowed “surgical” reprisals to the 25% tariff that Trump has placed on all steel imports.

Freeland, who is running to be the next leader of the Liberal Party and prime minister of Canada, said that if forced, the nation will “inflict the biggest trade blow that the United States has ever endured.” Her threat comes as the EV maker is struggling with declining global sales and potential backlash to its CEO’s political views.

Freeland also threatened to “go after” Wisconsin dairy farmers. “We know how important they are for the President. And we’re not going to let them sell their products in Canada anymore,” she said.

Tesla Cybertruck on fire in front of a Trumpf hotel in Las Vegas, NV on 1/1/2025. The driver shot himself and died.

Tesla was recently awarded a $400m contract from the State Dept for armored Cybertrucks which will be unregulated. Felon Musk’s name was subtly removed from the contract. He was under investigation by five separate Inspector Generals when Trumpf fired them.

Ms. Freeland is competent and has experience dealing with Trumpf. Freeland studied Russian history and literature at Harvard University. During 1988–89, she was an exchange student in Kiev and she is fluent in Ukrainian. If Ms. Freeland becomes Canada’s Prime Minister later this year, Trumpf will have an able adversary to the north, the way President Sheinbaum has become an effective foil for America’s Godzilla to the south.

Defense Counsel for Luigi Mangione Sets Up Personal Website for Him

The comprehensive website has a calendar for his state and federal trials, updates, FAQs, and messages from the defendant. Luigi Mangione is being prosecuted by both New York State and the US government, indicative of his dangerous role as a symbolic vanguard-martyr against a cruel capitalist system that puts profits over people. Luigi was either taking personal vengeance out on millionaire CEO Brian Thompson, fighting back against a system that perpetrates “social murder” on its citizens, or both. The US is the world’s largest economy and is the only developed nation without universal health insurance.

Former health insurance company CEO Wendell Potter about the killing of Brian Thompson: “I’m not shocked.”

The storming of the Bastille on 14 Jul 1789 was intended to seize gunpowder and weapons. The prison contained only seven inmates and was already scheduled for demolition, but was seen by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the monarchy’s abuse of power.

When XJK (Extra-Judicial Killing) seems to be seen as the only solution to America’s cataclysmic problems caused by greedy oligarchs, CEOs, and megalomaniacs, the US is heading for its own Bastille Day.

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

This previously unapproachable stray cat became approachable for the sake of her litter.

Donald Trumpf is America’s Godzilla

Salon writes: ‘Trumpf’s First Week: “Designed to destroy the US from within.”

During the first ten days of his second term, Trumpf’s dozens of executive orders and edicts have included “freeing virtually all of his supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, attempting to nullify the 14th Amendment and end birthright citizenship, declaring a national emergency on the US-Mexico border, launching nationwide raids against undocumented immigrants and their communities as part of ‘the largest deportation plan in American history,’ escalating attacks on the LGBTQ community, closing down government programs and offices focused on diversity, equity and inclusion, withdrawing from both the World Health Organization and the Paris climate accord, and throwing out many other changes made by the Biden administration regarding the environment, the economy, education and other areas.”

As well as handing over the federal government to gluttonous oligarch racist Elon Musk and his DOGE and moving to eliminate USAID and the EPA, Trumpf fired dedicated FBI agents who had investigated Jan 6 insurrectionists. Recall that at the 2018 Helsinki Summit, Trumpf sided with Russia’s FSB over America’s FBI and CIA.

To bypass the immigration court system for his massive deportation plan, Trumpf intends to implement the obscure 1798 Alien Enemies Act, last used to justify internment camps for people of Japanese, German, and Italian descent during World War Two.

Yes they are, but not to white supremacists like Donald Trumpf, Elon Musk, and Republicans

After Trumpf announced that he was slapping tariffs on Canadian goods, hockey fans in both Ottawa and Calgary responded by booing the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ before their respective hockey games. Trumpf said Americans could feel “some pain” from the emerging trade war triggered by his tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China. The Wall Street Journal wrote the tariffs ‘Makes No Sense,’ savaging it as the ‘Dumbest Trade War in History.’ In retaliation, Ontario Premier Doug Ford “ripped up” Ontario’s nearly $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink in the wake of US tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods. Several Canadian provinces removed US wines from their shelves.

The effects of the Dotard-in-Chief’s imbecilic policies had an immediate effect on the world economy. On 3 Feb, the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded more than 500 points lower at the open. The S&P 500 shed 1.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite slid 1.9%. Crude oil jumped 2% on concern of supply disruptions in North America from the new tariffs.

Followers of the Watch, Coriolanus is doing his utmost best to keep up with America’s Godzilla as he destroys the US and sows discord between Canada, NATO, and the EU on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the global billionaire oligarchy.

German General Warns: “We Are No Longer at Peace”

German Alexander Sollfrank, Commander of the Operational Command of the Bundeswehr.

The commander of the German military’s newly established Operational Command, Alexander Sollfrank, warned of increasing Russian attempts to disrupt life in Germany in an interview with dpa. There have been “intrusion attempts” into facilities of the Bundeswehr, as Germany’s military is known, as well as drone sightings.

“We are no longer at peace. We are observing hostile activities against the Bundeswehr in Germany, against infrastructure, including spying.”

Last year US and German counterintelligence agents foiled a Russian assassination attempt on Armin Papperger, the CEO of an arms manufacturer sending weapons to Ukraine. The plot was one of a series of Russian plans to assassinate defense industry executives across Europe who were supporting Ukraine’s war effort.

Western intelligence agency cooperation saved Armin Papperger’s life.

NATO continues to maintain a high alert level for Russian sabotage and espionage.

In the latest incident over the weekend, an undersea cable between Sweden and Latvia, which is used by the Latvian State Radio and Television Centre (LVRTC), was damaged, although the exact cause remains still unclear. The authorities in Stockholm are investigating possible serious sabotage and have detained a suspicious vessel.

In a separate German interview with Bild, NATO Chief Mark Rutte has said he has ideas about any future peace negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow that are a “little secret,” but will ensure Russian President Vladimir Putin will “never try again” to conquer Ukraine.

“We must ensure that (Putin) can never, ever again conquer even one square kilometer of Ukraine,” the NATO chief replied, adding the most important thing for NATO to do right now is to support Kyiv with weapons and training for its soldiers.

Rutte went on to say that if Ukraine decides to enter peace talks, it will then have to bring Putin to the negotiating table.

“I can’t describe to you exactly how these talks will go,” Rutte said, adding: “I already have ideas about what this composition could look like. But we don’t want to make Putin any smarter than he already is. We’re making it a little secret.”

“The front is moving in the wrong direction. But at what price?,” the NATO Chief advised, adding, the Russians are paying for it with 1,000 to 1,500 people a day who are dying or seriously wounded. And yet the Russians are not achieving their goals.”

“Only the end is certain — Putin will never try again after this,” Rutte concluded.

Thanks to the devastating UK-manufactured and supplied Storm Shadow drone weapon system, NATO has given Ukraine a fighting chance.

These interviews are for German public consumption as the only language the Kremlin understands is action or force. But demonstrating confidence and unity against Russia is welcome, especially in the light that a Vladimir Putin protege now occupies the White House. NATO is signaling they are stepping up to fill the imminent void the US will be leaving.

Despite Trumpf’s efforts, the ICC has outstanding international arrest warrants issued for Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes.

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

Former Federal Reserve Senior Adviser Indicted For Economic Espionage

John Harold Rogers (63) of Vienna, VA, a former Senior Adviser for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (FRB), was arrested on charges that he conspired to steal Federal Reserve trade secrets for the benefit of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

In furtherance of the conspiracy, Rogers allegedly made false statements to the Federal Reserve Board Office of Inspector General, and those false statements had a material impact on its investigation.

John Harold Rogers. Do you wonder if this Judas is smiling today? (Photo: Social media)

“As alleged, the defendant violated the trust placed in him by the Federal Reserve Bank by putting US trade secrets in the hands of his PRC co-conspirators, knowing full well that such information would benefit the PRC Government and PRC instrumentalities.”

“The Chinese Communist Party has expanded its economic espionage campaign to target US government financial policies and trade secrets in an effort to undermine the US and become the sole superpower.”

Rogers, a US citizen with a Ph.D. in Economics, worked as a Senior Adviser in the Division of International Finance of the FRB from 2010 until 2021, where he was entrusted with confidential FRB information. The confidential information that Rogers allegedly shared with his Chinese co-conspirators, who worked for the intelligence and security apparatus of China and who posed as graduate students at a PRC university, is economically valuable when secret.

China holds a large amount of US foreign debt (approximately $816 billion as of Oct 2024). The data Rogers shared with his co-conspirators could allow China to manipulate the US market, in a manner similar to insider trading. Gaining advance knowledge of US economic policy, including advance knowledge of changes to the federal funds rate, could provide China with an advantage when selling or buying US bonds or securities.

The indictment alleges that from at least 2018, Rogers allegedly exploited his employment with the FRB by soliciting trade-secret information regarding proprietary economic data sets, deliberations about tariffs targeting China, briefing books for designated governors, and sensitive information about Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) deliberations and forthcoming announcements. He passed that information electronically to his personal email account, in violation of FRB policy, or printed it prior to traveling to China, in preparation for meetings with his co-conspirators. Under the guise of teaching “classes,” Rogers met with his co-conspirators in hotel rooms in China where he conveyed sensitive, trade-secret information that belonged to the FRB and the FOMC.

In 2023, Rogers was paid approximately $450,000 as a part-time professor at a Chinese university.

On 4 Feb 2020, in response to questioning by the Office of the Inspector General for the Federal Reserve Board, Rogers lied about his accessing and passage of sensitive information and his associations with his co-conspirators.

Rogers is charged with conspiracy to commit economic espionage and with making false statements. Conspiracy to commit economic espionage carries a maximum statutory penalty of 15 years in prison, and a maximum fine of $5 million. Making false statements carries a maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison.

A criminal indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

John Harold Rogers (63) threw his life away for 30 pieces of silver.

As the British Empire gave way to the US and the Cold War with the USSR emerged after WWII, China now wishes to be new world hegemon. But in reality, the struggle is between global billionaire oligarchs versus the masses.

US Mercenary Firms to Take Charge of Key Gaza Checkpoints as Part of Ceasefire

Palestinians make their way back to their homes in northern Gaza. (Photo: Ramadan Abed / Reuters)

US “private security” contractors will deploy armed guards to Gaza and inspect vehicles of Palestinians returning to their homes in the north via an Israeli-installed checkpoint that divides the strip into two parts.

Citing two Israeli officials and a source with direct knowledge, Axios reported that the planned deployment is expected to start in the coming days.

The two US companies, Safe Reach Solutions (SRS) and UG Solutions, will operate a checkpoint on the Netzarim corridor, a key road south of Gaza City. Salaries for these ex-US Army Special Forces soldiers, Rangers, or USN Seals will probably range from $1,000 to $1,500 per day.

Israeli forces set up the Netzarim corridor, which divides the Gaza Strip into two halves, during its war on the strip to prevent displaced Palestinians from returning to the northern part.

The deployment was negotiated as part of the ceasefire agreement, brokered by the US, Egypt and Qatar, between Israel and the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas. It aimed to solve a key sticking point around the movement of displaced Palestinians back to northern Gaza.

“The consortium’s role is to oversee, manage, and secure a critical vehicle checkpoint along Salah al-Din Road, facilitating the safe return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza. The consortium aims to ensure orderly vehicle movement while preventing the transport of weapons northward, in line with the ceasefire terms,” a source familiar with the issue claimed.

The US contractors are expected to remain in Gaza until the end of the first phase of the deal, which took effect on Sunday. According to the agreement, Palestinians displaced to the south could return seven days into the truce.

An Egyptian security company, which has been approved by the Egyptian intelligence service, will also be involved in the checks.

“There may be additional members and nationalities in the future,” a source familiar with the issue said.

It will be the first time in decades that US private security companies will operate in Gaza. American contractors have a dark history of crimes against non-combatants and civilians in war zones.

US mercenaries in Iraq.

Four security guards from the private military firm Blackwater received jail sentences for killing 14 civilians, including two children, in Iraq’s Baghdad in 2007, a massacre that sparked an international outcry over the use of mercenaries in war. However, they were later pardoned by Donald Trump during his first presidential term in 2020.

There is a reason why the United Nations stands firmly against the use of mercenary fighters: Because mercenaries, at the end of the day, have performed far more atrocities than acts of valor on the battlefield.

Western France Battles Worst Floods in Decades Following Storm Ivo

More than 1,600 people have fled their homes in western France as a third major storm in a week brought record rainfall and extreme flooding.

Storm Ivo hit areas already struggling with flooding from storms Eowyn and Herminia. Red weather alerts remain active in three regions of Brittany – Ille-et-Vilaine, Loire-Atlantique, and Morbihan.

Their combined impact of the storms was exacerbated by the fact that the ground was already drenched from previous persistent rainfall.

National weather service Météo France warned that the situation could get worse in the coming days and authorities are on high alert. The French interior ministry said Paris had dispatched 1,500 additional firefighters to the affected areas.

“It’s quite catastrophic,” a local resident said. “I am also thinking of how the clean-up will be difficult for all these people once the waters recede.”

The night and day flying Tiger mosquito, an invasive species, carries chikungunya, dengue, and Zika, and they are spreading in France. See threat map below

The danger of waterborne diseases as well as breeding grounds for Tiger mosquitos have drastically increased in this area of western France, presenting another problem for the wobbly Macron government. Last year Paris sent warships and rescuers to Mayotte following Cyclone Chido which may have killed thousands.

US Urges Ukraine to Hold Elections After Ceasefire

Retired US Army Lieutenant-General Keith Kellogg, Special US Envoy to Ukraine and Russia.

FTA:

“The US is urging Ukraine to hold elections, possibly by the end of the year, particularly if a truce with Russia is reached in the coming months, according to President Donald Trump’s top Ukraine official.

Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, told Reuters that presidential and parliamentary elections, suspended since the all-out war began, “need to be done.” He argued that most democratic nations hold elections during wartime and that doing so would strengthen Ukraine’s democracy. “That’s the beauty of a solid democracy, you have more than one person potentially running,” Kellogg said.

Trump and Kellogg have indicated they are working on a plan to broker a peace deal within the first months of the new administration, though details remain scarce. While the strategy is still being developed, two sources familiar with White House discussions and a former US official briefed on the matter said Trump officials are considering pushing Ukraine to hold elections as part of an initial ceasefire with Russia.

The Kremlin has questioned the absence of elections, with Russian President Vladimir Putin insisting that the Ukrainian leader lacks the legal authority to sign binding agreements. However, Putin has said Zelensky could still take part in negotiations if he first repeals a 2022 decree that bans talks with Russia while Putin remains in power.”

As predicted, the Trumpf-Putin axis talking points against Ukraine have begun. This agitprop plants the seed in the American media that Ukrainian President Zelensky is somehow corrupt or illegitimate by not holding elections. Such elections give the Kremlin an opportunity to allow hidden pro-Kremlin Fifth Columnists to run for Parliament. This position is nothing short of a blatant attempt to undermine President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine.

You wonder what retired US Army Lieutenant-General Keith Kellogg thinks about the despicable manner in which Trumpf disposed of his former warrior-colleague, retired US Army General Mark Milley?

Sudan: Dengue Outbreak Amid Worsening Health Crisis and Conflict

Per CIA, Sudan has a population of slightly over 50m people with a GDP per capita of $2,500. 

Health authorities revealed an outbreak of dengue fever in the Naqib area of Drudib locality in the Red Sea state, where more than five deaths and more than 200 infections were recorded, amid growing concern about the rapid spread of the disease and the absence of effective intervention. Citizens expressed their fears about the deterioration of the health situation and the weak medical response.

Reports confirmed 11 new cases of cholera, including two deaths, bringing the total to 52,517, with 1,407 deaths. Four new cases of dengue fever were also recorded, bringing the total to 9,283 cases and 16 deaths in the Gedaref and White Nile areas. More than 330,000 displaced people have arrived in the states of Kassala, Gedaref, and River Nile, amid severe shortages of potable water and health services, further complicating the humanitarian crisis.

Sudan is undergoing an ethnic war between “riverine Arabs” from the former ruling class in Khartoum and “Darfur Arabs.” These “Darfur Arabs” were considered backwards and “Africanized” by the former rulers. But “Darfur Arabs” comprise the RSF base and in turn dislike the former Khartoum ruling class. Russia is duplicitously supplying both sides of the conflict and the US will be withdrawing aid and assistance to Africa, including eliminating USAID, under the new Trumpf regime.

Donald Trump Resurrecting Another 19th-Century America White Supremacist Ideology

Flag of the Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC)

The 19th-century nativist “Know Nothing Party” members were rabid anti-Catholic Protestant whites and would greet each other touching their eye, nose, and then making a zero with their fingers (“Eye Nose Nothing”).

Convicted scapegrace Republican George Santos and US Senator Marco Rubio doppelganger secretly rendering the “I Know Nothing” shibboleth during his short, foul tenure in the revered chambers of the US Congress. (Photo: Public domain).

For a decade, Donald Trumpf has been subtly (and brazenly) flashing these ancient shibboleths for a decade, letting his white supremacist followers know that he is “one of them.” This coded greeting evolved to three fingers representing “W” for white and the thumb and index finger making a “P” for power. Rightwing white Catholics were no longer excluded from the club.

Trumpf’s calls for invading Panama and Greenland is a resurrection of another 19th-century white supremacist ideology that incubated with the Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC). This occult movement of Southerners (Northerners were called “Copperheads” during the Civil War) wanted to expand American hegemony and slavery into Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America.

The Knights of the Golden Circle was reportedly organized in Lexington, KY, on 4 Jul 1854, by Virginia-born Gen. George W. L. Bickley (1819–1867).

Sketch of a Knights of a Golden Circle meeting. One KGC leader claimed they had 65,000 oath-bound members.

In “The Idea of a Southern Nation” (1979), historian John McCardell called the Knights of the Golden Circle “that most bizarre offshoot of Southern expansionism.

With Cuba and Mexico now off limits, vulnerable Panama because of its economic and national security relevancy is now an expansionist target, as well as mineral-rich Greenland. Global warming is making Greenland’s under-tundra resources more accessible, something that Tesla, Apple, and other hi-tech companies would like easy, inexpensive access to. Knowingly or unknowingly, Trumpf is tapping into a 19th-century expansionist cult whose ideas somehow still resonates with some white Republicans.

In response to Trumpf’s idiotic blathering, the King of Denmark, Head-of-State of a loyal NATO ally and important intelligence partner, changed the 500-year-old royal Court of Arms to prominently include Greenland and the Faroe Islands:

Whether this helps the situation for Greenland and Denmark remains to be seen. Donald Trumpf Jr. just visited Greenland on Tuesday in what he called a “personal day trip.” He then posted a photo with a group of locals in a bar wearing pro-Trump caps, delivering them a message on behalf of the paterfamilias: ‘We’re going to treat you well.’

Ukraine: Two Russian High Value Targets (HVTs) Eliminated in Storm Shadow Missile Attack

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is reaching its third terrible year, the Ukrainian military is stubbornly and successfully fighting off Vladimir Putin’s hegemonic designs on its Slavic neighbor. Kiev recently unleashed a (UK-manufactured) Storm Shadow missile attack targeting Russian HVTs hiding in a bunker in Kursk on 30 Dec 2024. At least 30 Russians were WIA.

Among those rendered ineffective were Russian Lieutenant Colonel Valery Tereshchenko, chief of communications of the 76th Pskov Airborne Division, and Colonel Pavel Maletsky, commander of 656th separate engineer-sapper battalion.

The UK, like the US, has done yeoman’s work helping the Ukrainians against Russia. But only the UK and NATO will continue assisting Kiev after the Trumpf/Putin/Musk cabal assumes power in two weeks. Expect the Ukrainian military to exert maximum force against the Russian invaders until the last possible minute. Because of the quickly compressing timetable, the Ukrainian sabotage network inside Russia may accelerate plans to assassinate HVTs before any ceasefire. Last year, the Ukrainian GUR may have done the US a tremendous service by neutralizing Lt-General Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia’s CBRN defense unit who was also under investigation for alleged war crimes by the Kiev government.

IDF Soldier Flees Brazil Amid Gaza War Crimes Investigation

An Israeli soldier accused of committing war crimes in Gaza has fled Brazil where he was vacationing when the case was brought against him in the South American country.

The unidentified soldier is accused of participating in the mass demolition of civilian homes in Gaza amid Israel’s war against Hamas in the Palestinian enclave.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid lambasted the need for a soldier to flee a country where they were vacationing in the dark of night to evade investigation as “a huge political failure.”

“How did we get to the point where the Palestinians are better than the Israeli government in the international arena?” Yair Lapid asked on X.

Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that a total of 45,854 combatants and civilians have been killed and 109,139 wounded, injured, or maimed in Israel’s Nakba against the Palestinians following the 7 Oct 2023 surprise attack which resulted in 1,269 Israelis deaths and 250 captives taken for a prisoner swap.

On 21 Nov 2024, the ICC at the Hague issued an international arrest warrant for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes. Similarly, on 17 Mar 2023 the ICC had issued a warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

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

US Sanctions Alleged War Criminals in Sudan

The US Treasury Dept sanctioned the leader of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Gen. Mohammad Hamdan Daglo Mousafor for committing genocide in the Northeast African nation’s nearly two-year-old civil war.

USSECSTATE Antony Blinken announced the largely symbolic genocide determination. The US has repeatedly declared that war crimes have been committed by both warring parties in Sudan’s civil war, but Blinken alleged that the RSF’s systematic murder and sexual violence targeting individuals based on their ethnicity now meets the high threshold of genocide.

US Treasury sanction targets include the paramilitary weapons supplier Abu Dharr Abdul Nabi Habiballa Ahmmed and seven related companies.

This is an ethnic civil war between “riverine Arabs” from the former ruling class in Khartoum and “Darfur Arabs.” These “Darfur Arabs” were considered backwards and “Africanized” by the former rulers. But “Darfur Arabs” comprise the RSF base and in turn dislike the former Khartoum ruling class. An estimated 61,000-150,000 have been killed, creating 2,170,592 refugees, while internally displacing 7,720,119 people. Russia is duplicitously supplying both sides of the conflict.

Filipino Fishermen Capture Suspected Chinese Underwater Spy Drone

Local fishermen hauled in a six-foot-long yellow underwater drone off the coast in the Philippines that police believe may have come from a Chinese submarine.

Three fishermen found the bright yellow drone about six miles off the coast of San Pascual in Masbate province, police said in a release posted on Facebook.

The sea drone carried the markings – “HY-119” – referring to “underwater navigation and communication system,” police said.

According to manufacturer sources, the Sea Wing can carry Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) sensors, as well as turbulence meter, Turbidimeter, chlorophyll sensor, dissolved oxygen sensor, nitrate and other biochemical sensors. It can also carry Acoustic sensors such as ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profile), underwater acoustic communication and hydrophones, as well as naval and military relevance.

USIC and naval personnel will have an opportunity to exploit this drone. Besides the Defense Attache office in Manila, US experts are in nearby Japan and South Korea.

Canada: The CBSA Announces First-Ever Canadian Land Pre-Clearance Operation in US

From the Government of Canada:

“The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced its intention to launch its first preclearance operation in 2025. Preclearance supports the national security and economic prosperity of both Canada and the US by facilitating the secure and efficient movement of people and goods across the border.

The initiative will have Canadian border services officers working at a shared facility at the Cannon Corners port of entry in New York (adjacent to the Covey Hill, QC port of entry). For the two-year duration of the operation, travelers entering Canada will go through Cannon Corners instead of the Covey Hill port of entry, which will be closed to travelers during that time.”

(Map: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/)

“At the preclearance site, Canadian officers will examine travelers and goods to decide whether they are admissible into Canada, as they currently do at ports of entry in Canada. This includes screening for dangerous goods, such as firearms and drugs, before they leave the US. While officers will be able to conduct most types of immigration processing at this site, claims for refugee protection cannot be processed at preclearance. Travelers seeking refugee protection in Canada will need to use a Canadian port of entry.”

Cannon Corners, NY is west of the major Champlain POE (US I-87/ Canada I-15).

“Updates on the initiative and launch date will be shared on the CBSA’s website and social media platforms.

Quote from The Honorable David J. McGuinty, Minister of Public Safety:

“Today’s announcement demonstrates our shared commitment with the United States to bolster border security and streamline the flow of legitimate trade and travel between our two countries. Preclearance is yet another example of how Canada and the United States work together every day to intercept security threats early, while delivering large-scale economic benefits for Canadians and Americans.”

Quick facts:

The Preclearance in the US Regulations provide CBSA officers with the necessary authorities to carry out immigration services at preclearance sites in the US.

The US currently has preclearance operations at eight Canadian airports.

Canada is investing $1.3 billion to bolster security at the border and strengthen the immigration system, all while keeping Canadians safe.

Remarkable that the Canadian government is spending so many resources to placate the childish and boorish Donald Trumpf. Creating discord within NATO allies and Western countries is exactly what Russian President Vladimir Putin wants and Trumpf is following his instructions perfectly. The present discourse in some American circles that somehow Trumpf is responsible for PM Justin Trudeau’s resignation as head of the Liberal Party are inaccurate. The PM was dealing with domestic issues such as housing, immigration, and strengthening Canada’s national healthcare system long before Trumpf’s horrific electoral win this past Nov 2024.

China: HMPV Virus Outbreak

News reports and social media posts are warning of a new outbreak of a little-known virus called human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in China, but officials are yet to confirm this.

Instead, official reports from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that rates of multiple flu-like illnesses are on the rise in China.

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a virus that can cause flu-like illness in people of all ages, although some people are more at risk, including young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.

The virus was only discovered as recently as 2001, but it is in the same family as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV): another flu-like virus.

There is not enough information from reliable sources on the extent and severity of a possible HMPV outbreak in China to accurately predict the risk of a pandemic.

However, this is a virus that already circulates among populations in China, the US and elsewhere, so there is more herd immunity against it than there would be against a novel virus, such as COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has repeatedly called on Beijing to share more information on the 2019 COVID outbreak which they have yet to do. Worldwide, there have been 777,074,803 confirmed cases of the disease, which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and more than seven million deaths. Information sharing and cooperation will save lives for any epidemic, but Beijing is not known for its transparency so rumors will continue to circulate that SARS-CoV-2 was a leaked Chinese biological weapon.
