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. Beijing has already cut cables to Taiwan and is constructing large 'D-Day' type amphibious landing craft. read more
AFRICOM informs: "In coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, US Africa Command (AFRICOM) conducted multiple airstrikes against ISIS-Somalia on 25 Mar 2025. The airstrikes occurred in the vicinity of the Golis Mountains, Somalia. AFRICOM's initial assessment is that multiple ISIS-Somalia operatives were killed and no civilians were harmed. ISIS-Somalia has proved both its will and capability to attack US and partner forces. This group's malicious efforts threaten US security interests. USAFRICOM, alongside the Federal Government of Somalia and Somali Armed Forces, continues to take action to degrade ISIS-Somalia's ability to plan and conduct attacks that threaten the US homeland, our forces, and our civilians abroad. Specific details about the operation will not be released to ensure continued operations security." read more
A 69-year-old man slowly suffocated to death in a rural Colorado jail after his ribs were broken in an altercation with a deputy. He languished in a cell for a week without medical care, according to a lawsuit announced Thursday. Michael Burch's 2023 death was ruled a homicide. 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. In making the decision, District Attorney Henry Solano cited self-defense laws. 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. Michael Burch is pictured holding his grandchild below. read more
North Korea unveiled what appears to be its first airborne radar system and AI-equipped suicide attack drones, adding to indications that Russia has provided technical assistance in exchange for the North sending troops to fight Ukraine. The North's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) published photos of the early-warning airplane and said leader Kim Jong Un boarded the aircraft and instructed military officials. Beijing is keeping a wary eye on Pyongyang and after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a rift between the two Asian powers has started to develop: www.koreatimes.co.kr read more

Good for Canadians. Methinks tourism to Germany slowed down to a trickle after 1933 (except for Fascists from Italy).

For people living in America, the oligarchs have exploited them and diminished their quality of life. People residing in the socialist democracies of Europe (like Germany or Norway) with strict gun control laws, inexpensive or free colleges, living wages, and universal healthcare have less chance of being murdered by a firearm or face a medical bankruptcy, enjoying a higher quality of life than most Americans. The US is ranked 24 on the World Happiness Report (2025 World Happiness Report).
On a personal note, I know an individual who enjoys the strict gun control laws of Canada and their socialist healthcare system (ranked 18), but he makes his fortune with a business in Texas. He also inherited a tidy sum of money from his wealthy parents. As a Libertarian he pushes for gun rights and tax reduction, continually bashing liberals in the US, but enjoys the socialism and safety of Canada. If you look up "hypocrite" in the dictionary, you would see his grinning face as the illustration.

More people on planet Earth firmly believe in an invisible almighty God that no one has ever met or photographed than they do of the potential for extra-terrestrial life. The late Stephen Hawking warned NASA and other space agencies NOT to send probes into outer space describing the location of earth, concerned that alien entities may be more like Christopher Columbus and less like Leonardo da Vinci. Either or both of the Voyager I and II deep space probes had charts of our solar system and an illustration of man on the side: llllline.com
