Gavin Rivers Weisenburg (21) and Tanner Christopher Thomas (20) have been charged in relation to a plot that included invading an island off Haiti, murdering the men on the island, and using the women and children as sex slaves.


Under the vague category of "national security grounds," for four hours Canadian Border Security Agents (CBSA) detained Richard Falk, a 95-year-old Jewish professor emeritus of international law who has spent decades documenting violations against the Palestinian people.

    Gavin Weisenburg and Tanner Thomas are alleged to have conspired to recruit and lead an unlawful expeditionary force to the Island of Gonave, which is part of the Republic of Haiti, for the purpose of carrying out their rape fantasies. The two planned to purchase a sailboat, firearms, and ammunition, then recruit members of the District of Columbia-area homeless population to serve as a mercenary force as they invaded Gonave Island and staged a coup d'etat. Weisenburg and Thomas intended to murder all of the men on the island so that they could then turn all of the women and children into their sex slaves. Weisenburg and Thomas undertook numerous overt acts in furtherance of their invasion plan, including making operational and logistical plans, learning Haitian Creole language, recruiting others to join the invasion plan, and researching and enrolling in schools to acquire skills relevant to the invasion plan. Thomas even enlisted in the USAF to acquire military skills relevant to the invasion plan.

    This idiotic and perverse plan is right out of the 19th-century "Knights of the Golden Circle" or the Eugene O'Neill play "The Emperor Jones," but far, far worse. 87,000 to 20,000 residents live on Gonave Island and the well-armed and desperate Haitian gangs have not yet seemed to penetrate the island. After conviction, the sentencing judge should throw away the key.

    A grand jury indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

    USSECSTATE Marco Rubio, the most under-qualified Empty Suit to ever lead the US Diplomatic Corps, has prepared the legal framework for attacking Venezuela: FTO Designation

    ICYMI: "Then-US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) tweeted a Bible verse a day, in good times or bad, a morning devotional that delights his fans and irks his critics."


    Richard Falk served as the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. The idea that a 95-year-old scholar, "one of the world's most respected experts on humanitarian law," constitutes a threat to Canada's national security is absurd on its face. But Falk's real "offense" is clear enough: He has spent much of his career holding Israel to account under international law.

    Although Canada PM Mark Carney finally recognized the State of Palestine earlier this year, his government prohibited the popular Irish music group Kneecap from entering Canada because they champion Palestinian rights.

    Canada has its own Israeli lobbying group, but it is not nearly as powerful as AIPAC. One of the pro-Zionist Canadians is MP Anthony Housefather who visited Israel in 2024 in support of the Gaza genocide. MP Anthony Housefather, House Republican Randy "The Hebrew Ham Sandwich" Fine (R-FL), oligarch Michael Bloomberg, and Laura Loomer must have all cheered reading the news that a 95-year-old scholar was callously detained by the CBSA for four useless hours.

    Since 7 Oct 2023, Israel's retribution pogrom against the Palestinians in Gaza have resulted in 69,756 Muslims killed, the majority of them children and women; 170,946 have been injured or maimed. Ethnic cleansing continues unabated in the West Bank. Israel even evicted several Bedouins whose people for generations have enlisted in the IDF as part of their desert patrol.

    An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for war crimes remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu and ex-DM Yoav Gallant. The Istanbul Public Prosecutor in Turkiye issued nationwide arrest warrants for these two suspects, as well as 31 other Israelis accused of crimes against humanity. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of a law.

    Zohran Mamdani appeared on national TV (NBC's "Meet the Press") and showed the US why we New Yorkers voted for him over Andrew 'Benedict Arnold' Cuomo and former McDonald's night manager Curtis Sliwa (who is an animal rights advocate).

    Zohran wants to create a social services constabulary (armed or unarmed) to deal with mental illness cases and disturbed homeless people. The term NYPD uses for them is "EDP" (Emotionally Disturbed Person) and these EDPs are treated more as suspected criminals rather than genuine psych patients. Zohran's strategy will then free up the 35,000-strong NYPD to deal with more serious issues, resulting in less Tasering or shooting of EDPs.

    Even though House Minority Leader Hakeem "I Got Mine" Jeffries (D-NY) rendered a late and tepid endorsement for Zohran, the NYC Mayor-elect signaled he wants Jeffries to stay on. NYC Councilman Chi Osse then dropped out of the race to primary Hakeem.

    NYS Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) would be wise to support Zohran's initiatives for NYC as she will be facing the vapid Elise Stefanik (R-NY) in 2026 whose platform is smearing Zohran as a communist Muslim socialist antifa Marxist jihadist and the face of the Democratic Party.

    Outside NYC, the Empire State is basically Red. In 2022 Hochul won with 3,140,415 votes with a 47% voter turnout. The repugnant Lee Zeldin (R-NY) garnered 2,762,581 votes. The incumbent Democratic governor will need our downstate 1,036,051 votes in 50 weeks time.

    "All aboard the Zohran Mamdani Express!"
