INTERPOL informs: An international operation (Madre Tierra VIII) coordinated by INTERPOL has dismantled environmental crime networks across nine countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, leading to 233 arrests, the recovery of more than 1,000 animals, and the identification of 60,000 hectares of illegally cleared forest. Investigators from Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama determined that illegal timber and wildlife trafficking networks were operating on an industrial scale along the corridor connecting Central and South America.

The FDA informs: Laub's Feeding and Cubing, Inc. of Beryl, UT is voluntarily recalling up to 89 tons of Grade A Mini Hay Cubes because the product has the potential to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium that can cause botulism, leading to severe and potentially fatal toxicity in animals. This recall was initiated after the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF) received recent reports of illness and death in horses in southern Utah and surrounding areas.

Horses and man have an ages long sacred covenant to look after each other. The callous and sinister Trumpf junta undid that covenant in the meager span of two years.

On Tuesday 7 Nov 2028, in one of the largest turnouts in US election history, Americans will vote in US Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) President of the United States, alongside his running mate, Congresswoman (and Retired USN Admiral) Nancy Stewart Lacore (D-SC) as Vice-President. Their winning campaign platform:

  • Via Executive Order on 20 Jan 2029, POTUS Van Hollen will demilitarize ICE and DHS by ordering their agents to operate unarmed and unmasked. He will order Deputy US Marshals to accompany ICE agents. POTUS Van Hollen will then introduce legislation to Congress to fully abolish these two agencies and restore the INS to its pre-GWOT mission.
  • On 21 Jan 2029, President Van Hollen will recognize the State of Palestine, while the vastly experienced Admiral Lacore will be ordered to lead a task force to identify and remedy all of the Trumpf junta blasphemies.
  • POTUS Van Hollen will introduce a bill to Congress: "Medicare for All" as a step towards universal healthcare. read more

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth bypassed the military's established merit-based promotion process, imposing new criteria that disproportionately disqualified women and people of color who had already been cleared for advancement, according to three military officials. A senior official told MS NOW that Hegseth's office orchestrated a deliberate screening process, compiling paper-only dossiers of internet search results that the affected officers could not review. Instructions about the new criteria were communicated by phone rather than in writing, leaving no written record of the directives. "I was like 'you gotta be kidding me,'" the official said. read more


    The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Alexander Darchiev, Russia's ambassador to the US, abruptly up and died Wednesday at the age of 66. The diplomat had headed the Russian Embassy in Washington DC -- a front for Kremlin espionage -- since March 2025. No cause of death was immediately announced; the ministry only wrote that Darchiev "passed away suddenly." In March 2025, ICC-indicted war criminal Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Darchiev as ambassador -- a man known for his public denunciations of the West -- following Dummkopf Trumpf seizing power on 20 Jan 2025. Darchiev also once served as Russia's ambassador to Canada where the RCMP certainly kept a wary eye on him in Ottawa.

    #50:

    Some English novelists wrote about the colonies (e.g. America, Australia, the West Indies) as lands of opportunity for crooks or "class jumping."

    Australia was a penal colony. The UK deported convicts there under the sentence of "transportation" ("Go away").

    In Great Expectations, Pip saves Abel Magwitch, an escaped convict. Abel goes on to make a fortune in Australia and quietly returns to the UK to become Pip's secret benefactor. The dark, sinister Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights goes "abroad" and returns to the UK a rich man in order to win over snobby Kathy. The reader is led to believe, but never told, that Heathcliff made his fortune in the immoral transatlantic slave trade.

    In Pygmalion (George Bernard Shaw), Eliza Doolittle's good-for-nothing father -- an embarrassing garbage collector with a deep Cockney accent-- unwantedly re-appears in her life after inheriting a fortune from an American philanthropist.

    The more-open minded people of London, like the actors of the Globe Theater or their audiences, were happy to see the Puritans voluntarily depart for America, taking their illiberal, intolerant Christian ideas with them.

    In all of Shakespeare's great works, he only mentions America once (The Comedy of Errors). His rival, Christopher Marlowe, also only mentions America once (Doctor Faustus); America is seen by both as places to earn fortunes. And in those days, that meant ruthless colonial exploitation of natural resources from weaker indigenous people.

    US Senator-elect Scott Colom (D-MS) is not an AIPAC pod-person like the harridan he just defeated.

    US Senator Chris van Hollen (D-MD) also correctly called D/FBI Kashyap Pramod Vindaloo Patel an "utter disgrace."

    Because chanteuse Judy Collins "chose" Stacy Keach over musician Stephen Stills in the late 1960s, this song was a by-product of his lament: YouTube

    A recent OP I wrote discussed the racism that Joe Biden grew up in Pennsylvania: That Championship Season.

    That 1982 movie starred the late Stacy Keach.

    RIP and thanks for the memories.

    Shhh. If you listen quite carefully to our fellow Americans below, you can hear them speaking. Listen carefully.


    "No Iranian ever called me n____r."

    "No Iranian ever fired me for being a woman."

    "No Iranian ever cut my SNAP benefits."

    "No Iranian ever repossessed my house or my car."

    "No Iranian ever deprived me of universal healthcare."

    "No Iranian aircraft carriers ever sent jets and drones to destroy my property."

    "No Iranian ever over-looked me for promotion because I was compassionate for my fellow man."

    "No Iranian ever killed 200 school girls in my neighborhood."

    "No Iranian ever orchestrated the greatest transfer of wealth from bottom to top in my neighborhood."

    Did you hear our fellow Americans?

    Good.
