A former FBI SA is out on $100,000 bond after being arrested for attempting to expose a covert Russian intelligence campaign to gain influence over Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. The decorated counterintelligence agent has nearly two decades of service, specializing in Russian espionage operations. The SA had previously been commended for his work uncovering sleeper cells and disinformation networks operating inside the US. The SA became alarmed after obtaining intelligence suggesting that Russian military intelligence (GRU) had successfully cultivated relationships with high-profile Silicon Valley billionaires, using a combination of flattery, backchannel political access, and subtle kompromat. When his superiors allegedly refused to escalate the matter, he attempted to alert the public through unofficial channels, an act the Department of Justice quickly branded as an unlawful release of classified material. read more


  • With critical decisions to make every hour, Pete Hogsbreath led a Christian prayer service in the Pentagon's auditorium on Wednesday morning, during working hours, in which Dotard Trumpf was praised as a divinely appointed leader.' The event, billed as the "Secretary of Defense Christian Prayer & Worship Service," was standing room only and ran for about 30 minutes. Hogsbreath's pastor from Tennessee was the main speaker.
  • "Whiskey Pete" then ordered another review of the 2021 US military withdrawal from Afghanistan and of the suicide bombing at the Kabul airport that killed US soldiers and Afghans. Dotard Trumpf and Hogsbreath have repeatedly blasted the Biden administration for the withdrawal, which Hogsbreath said was "disastrous and embarrassing." The misogynist said the new review will interview witnesses, analyze the decision-making, and "get the truth." Several reviews have already been conducted but the answers don't seem to satisfy the Trumpf junta. read more


    Prison guards in Costa Rica intercepted an unusual prison drug delivery, catching a cat as it jumped over the periphery fence at night with marijuana and crack taped to its body. The black-and-white feline, carrying over 230 grams of marijuana and 67 grams of crack cocaine in two packages, was captured at a prison in the canton of Pococi. Guards carefully cut the packages from its tiny body and remove the drugs from its fur. Prison officials handed the cat over to the National Animal Health Service for an evaluation.

    US-sanctioned pro-Kremlin Ukrainian politician Andriy Portnov (51) was rendered ineffective in Spain. Assailants shot Portnov as he was getting into a car before escaping into a wooded area. Several rounds struck the quisling in the head and in the back. The operation took place outside The American School of Madrid, located in an affluent suburb just west of the capital. Portnov was sanctioned by the US in 2021 for corruption and bribery under the Magnitsky Act and the Security Service of Ukraine previously investigated his possible involvement in Russia's annexation of Crimea. The case was later closed and Ukraine itself never imposed sanctions on Portnov. read more

    Months after being pardoned by President Dotard Trumpf, two runamoks convicted of crimes for attacking US Capitol Police Officers on 6 Jan 2021, scored visits to the secure grounds of the White House. During their special tour, Shane Jenkins and Dominic Box took turns posing for pictures and videos behind the lectern in the White House press briefing room. "Thank you so much President Trumpf, if you're seeing this, we appreciate you setting us free," said Shane Jenkins, in a video the white supremacist posted on social media. Jenkins, who had a criminal record before 6 Jan 2021, was sentenced to seven years in prison for assaulting USCP officers and wielding a metal tomahawk during the melee. The day after the attempted putsch, the lunatic wrote in a text message, "I have murder in my heart and my head." read more

    #2: Hi Snoofy: Regarding this WSJ story that Israel recovered documents alleging the Palestinian resistance motive for the 7 Oct 2023 raid was to scuttle peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia is spurious and designed to shift the blame away from the victimizer to the victim.

    The muqawama planned the 7 Oct 2023 attack meticulously and over a long period of time, possibly over years, with the goal of seizing Israeli hostages for a prisoner swap. Thousands of Palestinians had been in military detention for months or years without trial or hearing. Amnesty International detailed the horrific torture the IDF inflicted on them. D/Mossad David Barnea knew exactly what the muqawama motivation was for the raid and he urged PM Benjamin Netanyahu to trade prisoners, which they did thrice in Nov 2023. But Netanyahu saw more benefit for himself and his rightwing cabinet by inflicting punishment on the Palestinians, so he stopped negotiations. As a wartime PM, conflict would delay his corruption trial while pleasing Beelzebub Smotrich and Avi Dichter: "We are now rolling out the Nakba of Gaza."

    Bibi, an MIT graduate, also saw a fracturing of the Democratic Party base during the 2024 election campaign that the Nakba was causing, so he ignored all of Joe Biden's attempts at a ceasefire to tilt the election for Dotard Trumpf. Recall that the two blackguards met a few times before the 5 Nov 2024 election.

    The muqawama exercised extraordinary OPSEC for months, preventing the Shin Bet, the US, the Iranians, from discovering their plans. Only Egyptian intelligence caught wind of something afoot in Gaza and alerted Jerusalem a few days or weeks before the attack, but they had no specifics to provide.

    The Palestinians in Gaza would conduct such a sophisticated attack just to scotch peace talks between Riyadh and Jerusalem? Then why bother to seize 251 Israeli hostages which would slow down their escape and return to Gaza?

    Besides sitting in trial on corruption charges in a Tel Aviv court, Benjamin Netanyahu also faces an imminent 9/11 Commission-style investigation into his handling of the 7 Oct 2023 attack. Several civilian panels in Israel have already found him at fault. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity remains active for the "Crime Minister."

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

    Netanyahu Trial

  • The IDF butchered at least 93 people across the Gaza Strip since dawn on Wednesday. Benjamin Netanyahu's Nakba on Gaza has killed at least 53,655 Palestinians and wounded or maimed 121,950, including children since 7 Oct 2023. IDF physician Dr. Sabo Amos, the Josef Mengele of Israel, likens these massacres to "exterminating cockroaches."

  • International condemnation is mounting after Israeli forces fired "warning" shots towards foreign diplomats visiting the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. The video of the IDF's brazen and stupid act may be viewed in the link at bottom.

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

  • Hi Corky:

    This was a curious operational venue for a supposedly antisemitic attack when there are at least a dozen synagogues in Wash DC. The alleged perpetrator could have easily snuffed out several vulnerable victims at these places of worship, including a rabbi, if he hated Jews: www.mavensearch.com

    The rightwing trolls will jump all over this act of public vengeance against Israel, AIPAC gets another talking point, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) will get a taxpayer funded bodyguard detail, the IDF will be extra vicious in Gaza tomorrow, the Settlers will burn down a Palestinian house or two in the West Bank (Thursday evening is usually when the Settlers run amok), and Pam Bondi will seek the death penalty for the new 'Luigi Mangione'.

    In effect, Benjamin Netanyahu's Nakba put a target on the back of Jews worldwide, whether they are Sephardic or Ashkenazi, Labor or Likud, innocent peace activists or virulent Islamophobes, atheists or deeply pious. This is simply more blood on Netanyahu's hands.

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