The medical examiner for Thomas Crooks is a dual American Israeli citizen, didn’t do the full toxicology report, and rushed to have Crooks cremated 2 days later with the bullet fragments still in him.
Why won’t the Trump admin release all the information?
Recall, the FBI also quickly hosed down the roof where Crooks was shot. Consider also that the Charlie Kirk assassination site was ripped up and paved over within a few days of his murder. These are the actions of elites who are accountable only to themselves. ABN
Thinning is one of the most important interventions in forestry. Removing the right trees at the right time allows the remaining forest to grow faster, stronger, and become more valuable. With AirForestry’s system, our research indicates an increasing timber yield by up to 8% over a full rotation cycle. Today, more than 20% of the forest floor is clear-cut just to carve a path for the ground machinery to reach the trees. Our system never touches the forest floor.
Ground machines weigh 20 tons to fell trees weighing just 80 kg. The soil compaction, root damage, and disrupted water flows that follow cost forest owners billions every year. AirForestry’s electric drones operate from the air: no ground contact, no logging trails, no diesel.
On Monday afternoon, the defense team officially rested its case without calling Karmelo Anthony to the stand. According to multiple media observers the defense was very weak. The defense witnesses ended up being solid witnesses for the prosecution upon cross examination.
The evidence against Karmelo Anthony is overwhelming. The defense was reliant upon previous fabrications sold to the media that did not prove out in the courtroom.
The prosecution witnesses were consistent and strong in the case against the accused.
The jury was dismissed for the day Monday and is expected to return Tuesday morning for closing arguments.
There was an initial discussion about a plea agreement, likely spurred by the weight of the prosecution. However, no plea deal was reached, likely rejected by the prosecution, and the case is now headed toward jury deliberation.
Keep in mind if Karmelo Anthony had taken a plea agreement before the trial, his family would not have been able to fundraise from the process. The decision to push the case to trial was as much for financial gain as it was a roll of the dice on whether their attempted racist narrative would work.
The jury will be sequestered during deliberation.
Karmelo Anthony is ineligible for both the death penalty and life in prison without parole since he was only 17 when he killed Austin Metcalf.
The maximum sentencing he’ll receive is life in prison with the possibility of parole, if he is convicted on his first-degree murder charge. This means parole eligibility after 30 years, or half of his sentence, depending on the specifics.
—The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks issued the new counterintelligence threat assessment amid rising tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials said. They said the DIA posted an internal message, viewed by one of the current officials, that raised the level for Israel to “critical.”
The designation stems from concerns within the Pentagon that Israel is making a particular effort to surveil top U.S. officials to get information on the Trump administration’s internal deliberations and decision-making on the conflicts in the Middle East, the officials said.
The DIA assessment includes a seven-page document and features a chart, according to one of the current U.S. officials. The document says the assessment of Israel is that its ability to conduct human espionage and technical collection is at a “critical level,” according to the official.
UPDATE: The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, an elite institution, is warning other parts of the American elite that the Israeli elite is spying on the Trump faction of the American elite. The warning is serious enough that the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency is allowing the American public to know about the compromise. At the same time Congress, the voice of the largely united front of the pro-Israel American elite, is trying to marry America’s military to Israel’s military. The adage that all politics is local has never been true. The adage should be all politics is elite factions competing with each other while toying with the public. There does appear to be a major battle going on involving Israel, the City of London ‘rules based order’, and some possibility that some factions of the Western elite do not want to entirely destroy USA and all of Western civilization. The public has close to zero say in anything elites do except when it is strongly united, a rare event which, should it occur, is always transient. I see a slim possibility that the Trump faction of the American elite may do something many of us will like. I am basically an American pragmatist strongly in favor of preserving Western civilization and American sovereignty ABN
A new approach to the study of mental disorder—called computational psychiatry—uses Bayesian inference to explain where people with problems are going wrong.
Bayesian inference is a method of statistical reasoning used to understand the probability of a hypothesis and how to update it as conditions change.
The idea is that people with schizophrenia, for example, are doing a bad job at inferring the reasonableness of their hypotheses. This happens because schizophrenics seem to be less likely to put enough weight on prior experience (a factor in Bayesian reasoning).
Distorted calculations — and the altered versions of the world they create — may also play a role in depression and anxiety, some researchers think. While suffering from depression, people may hold on to distorted priors — believing that good things are out of reach, for instance. And people with high anxiety can have trouble making good choices in a volatile environment… (Ibid)
The key problem with autism and anxiety is people with these conditions have trouble updating their expectations—a major component of Bayesian reasoning—and thus make many mistakes.
These mistakes, of course, compound and further increase a sense of anxiety or alienation.
Like several of the researches quoted in the linked article, I find this computational approach exciting.
It speaks to me because it confirms a core hypothesis of FIML practice—that all people make many, significant inferential mistakes during virtually all acts of communication.
In this respect, I believe all people are mentally disordered, not just the ones who are suffering the most.
I think a Bayesian thought experiment can all but prove my point:
What are the odds that you will correctly infer the mental state(s) of anyone you speak with? What are the odds that they will correctly infer your mental state(s)?
In a formal setting, both of you will do well enough if the inferring is kept within whatever the formal boundaries are. But that is all you will be able to infer reasonably well.
In the far more important realm of intimate interpersonal communication, the odds that either party is making correct inferences go down significantly.
If we do not know someone’s mental state, we cannot know why they have communicated as they have. If our inferences about them are based on such questionable data, we are bound to make many more mistakes about them.

In 2015, even before President Trump came down the golden escalator, CTH was outlining a ‘new era and dimension’ in American economics that could be possible if a presidential candidate focused on specific Main Street policy. {Go Deep}
Throughout the next four years we watched carefully how Donald Trump was organizing that Main Street revival {Go Deep} and what specifically was creating the economic growth {Go Deep}.
One of the points emphasized in 2016 about Trump’s unique MAGAnomic policy, was how both Trump and Bernie Sanders agreed on the problem. The difference between them was the solution.
Think of it like economic football.
Both Trump and Sanders identify the rigged game. Bernie Sanders wanted to change the referees so that government controls the game. Donald Trump’s approach was different. Trump wanted to change the rules of the game, not step in and try to play referee to a rigged game where the rules were flawed.
One of the examples of economic “rule changing” is trade tariffs. You don’t need govt to regulate the corporations directly (ie. raise corporate income taxes). Instead, you can change trade policy to make the better corporate decision a return of production back to the USA (a fundamental rules change).
Both approaches involve a different govt policy, but Trump’s approach changes behavior. That’s MAGAnomics.
One of the reasons Trump’s approaches are much more effective, is that his rule changes extend beyond the American corporate game. Trump’s approach changes the behavior of foreign governments and foreign corporations, a win/win/win.
An example is the Japanese government investing in America to offset reciprocity tariffs; while Toyota, a corporation, invests in specific auto manufacturing expansion to avoid baseline tariffs.
You don’t get that kind of result through Bernie’s approach changing the American referee in an all-American game and raising corporate income taxes. And don’t forget, the corporation can just move offshore and avoid income taxes entirely. Apple used to have their company incorporated in Ireland. Trump’s rule changes brought them back.
The Promethean Action PAC is now highlighting the fundamentals of Trump’s MAGAnomics and how the policy is distinctly different from all U.S. economic policy before it.
This short piece provides an excellent explanation of what MAGAnomics means to this administration and how that explains some of what the Promethean group is saying in its videos, which are models of conciseness and appropriate brevity. Reposted this piece in full with the author’s permission. ABN
The context and details of the Nowak murder case continue highlighting what cultural Marxism does in policing when combined with aggressive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) demands.
The British publication Sunday Times (paywall) is now reporting that three days after the trial of Vickrum Digwa began; as the police began facing scrutiny and needed to get out in front of the massive public outrage that was coming toward them; the police wanted to produce a statement telling the public Nowak’s death wasn’t really their fault, they were trained to believe the voices of racial minorities over the voices of white people.
The police wanted to issue a statement essentially telling the public of their intent to clarify things once the trial was completed. [This sounds like “a guilty conscience.’] However, the prosecution team stopped the police from issuing any statement. This expanding context is making the issues within the U.K even more toxic and more explosive.
It is understood there had been concern about online commentary and potential public disorder, so Hampshire Police sought the CPS’s views on issuing a message telling people it would address questions once proceedings were complete, according to The Sunday Times.
Prosecutors advised the force that it could risk impacting the “integrity” of the case against Vickrum Digwa. (more)
I still think the worst part of this legal dynamic was the judge in the case ruling the video taken by the killer as he murdered his victim was, “too disturbing to be shown” as evidence. The killer recorded himself doing the killing, and that evidence could not be shown to the jury because it was “too disturbing,” yet the jury was tasked with making a decision on whether the accused was guilty or not. Think about it. Beyond insane judicial logic.
The police never even handcuffed the murderer and now reports say, “Vickrum Digwa was carrying a knife when he arrived at a police station after being arrested for the murder of teenager Henry Nowak, it has emerged. Digwa, 23, was jailed for life last week and must serve a minimum of 21 years behind bars for killing 18-year-old Henry in Southampton in December.”
Everything about this case is just crazy and revealing how insane the British system of justice has become.
Earlier this week, I talked about how Congress is hiding the U.S.–Israel military relationship in the defense bill.
There is a second bill that goes further. It makes it law that a president can’t pull intelligence sharing back without clearing a legal hurdle, even if you elect one who wants to.
It’s Section 622 of the Senate’s Intelligence Authorization Act, approved by the Intelligence Committee last month on a bipartisan vote. Think of it as the intelligence-side twin of Section 224, the weapons-integration provision I broke down previously.
The clause that matters: intelligence sharing with Israel “shall not be suspended, reduced, or otherwise materially limited” unless the president names a specific national-security reason and reports it to Congress.
The default is bolted to on. Reversal is the exception.
It all runs through classified channels and closed-door committees. You won’t find it in anything you can read or vote on, and if it passes, the people you do elect may not be able to do anything about it.
I laid the whole thing out, with every claim sourced. Read it here:
The video highlights a recent Indian police bust of a fake degree racket that seized over 100,000 counterfeit certificates from universities, with many allegedly used to secure U.S. H-1B visas at costs as low as $1,400.
The post cites a former U.S. consular officer’s 2005-2007 assessment of 80-90% fraud in Indian H-1B applications and notes that 83% of such visas issued during the Biden administration went to junior or entry-level positions.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has issued investigative demands to nearly 30 North Texas businesses suspected of H-1B abuses, including operating “ghost offices” to sponsor foreign workers.
