Following the release of satellite images indicating that the AN/TPY-2 X-band mobile radar system from the U.S. Army THAAD anti-ballistic missile system had been destroyed in an Iranian drone strike, an anonymous individual on March 7 posted photos providing confirmation, showing the radar destroyed.
The radar system was stationed at Muwafak Salti Air Base in Jordan.
The destruction of the radar is expected to significantly reduce the utility of THAAD systems to provide defence against Iranian missile attacks.
AN/TPY-2 Radar From THAAD System Destroyed in Engagements with Iranian Forces
The destruction of the AN/TPY-2 follows the successful targeting of multiple missile defence radar systems operated by the U.S. and its strategic partners in the Middle East, including a AN/FPS-132 Block 5 early warning radar located near Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
The radar feeds targeting information to regional air- and missile-defence systems, including THAAD systems in Israel and Jordan.
Unlike Russian air defence systems such as the S-400, which deploy multiple complementary radar types often reaching half a dozen, Western air defence systems including THAAD rely on just a single radar. Thus without the AN/TPY-2, a THAAD battery cannot independently search for or track targets.
Listen, I’ve spent the last six months buried in this research, and let me be blunt—it’s the kind of revelation that hits you like a freight train. We’re talking about the “Mormon Mafia,” a sneaky, slithering network of Latter-day Saints elites who’ve been wrapping their coils around American politics, gambling empires, and global intrigue for generations. And right at the head of this venomous snake? Mitt Romney, that smooth-talking, flip-flopping senator from Utah who’s been doing shady business with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu for over 50 years—yes, you read that right, more than half a century, starting back in 1976 when they were young guns at the Boston Consulting Group, scheming up corporate plays that reek of elite control.
This isn’t some casual bromance; it’s a calculated, poisonous alliance blending Mormon secrecy with Israeli intelligence and Rothschild banking muscle. But here’s where it gets personal and explosive: This web ties straight into the Charlie Kirk investigation. Through Utah/Arizona’s slimy Mormon families like the Farnsworth’s and the Frantzve’s (Erika Kirk’s crew), we begin to see how this mafia could have struck Kirk down in Utah— a state they have a tight grip on with an iron fist, squeezing out any opposition. Erika, now calling the shots as TPUSA CEO, comes from a lineage steeped in gambling grifts and government scams. I’m laying it all out with the receipts, so buckle up: From Freemasonic origins to Vegas takeovers, this is the truth they don’t want you to see.
I’m not here to play games or soften the blow—this is about calling out the snakes who hide behind piety while sinking their fangs into taxpayer pockets and silencing threats. I’ll break it down piece by piece, drawing from ironclad sources like The New York Times, Politico, The Times of Israel, NPR, The Telegraph, Mother Jones, and Fritz Springmeier’s eye-opening Bloodlines of Illuminati. By the time we’re done, you’ll see why Utah was the perfect kill zone for Kirk, and how the Frantzves’ casino roots and the Farnsworths’ charter school hustles are just tentacles of this monstrous beast.
The Mormon Mafia’s Dark Beginnings: Freemasonry, Secret Rituals, and the Illuminati Connection
To understand this mafia, you have to start with the founder of Mormonism himself, Joseph Smith—and trust me, it’s not the squeaky-clean story they tell in church. In 1830, Smith launched the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), but by 1842, he was deep into Freemasonry, the secretive fraternity known for its elite networks and occult symbols. On March 15, 1842, Smith was initiated by Abraham Jonas, Grand Master of the Illinois Grand Lodge, in Nauvoo, Illinois. The very next day, he was raised to Master Mason—the top level. Boom— the Nauvoo Lodge exploded to over 1,500 members, mostly Mormons, in record time. This wasn’t organic growth; it was a takeover.
Take Smith’s Masonic apron from 1842–1844: A silk piece backed with muslin, emblazoned with symbols like the square, compass, and all-seeing eye—straight from Freemasonic rituals. These elements seeped into LDS temple ceremonies, including secret handshakes, oaths, and penalties for breaking silence (though the church toned them down later). Fritz Springmeier’s Bloodlines of Illuminati (1995) nails it: “The Mormon Leadership” is one of 13 Illuminati bloodlines, with Smith borrowing Masonic rites to build his empire (see page 1: “The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda… the whole world lies in the power of the wicked one”). Springmeier argues this ties Mormons to global occult control, including the Rothschilds as puppet-masters.
Why does this matter? Freemasonry’s core—secrecy, loyalty, and brotherhood—created the “mafia” ethos: An inner circle that operates above the law, blending religion with power. Brigham Young, Smith’s successor, expanded this into polygamous colonies in Utah and Mexico, building insulated communities with ties to Mexico (key for the Farnsworth family, who have roots there). The Farnsworths exemplify this legacy: Eddie grifted millions from charter schools accused of taxpayer scams, while David pushed bills for connected interests like Lori Frantzve’s EMP panic play. Terryl Farnsworth, the TPUSA camera tamperer, grew up with Tyler Bowyer—same neighborhood, same high school, generations of Mormon bonds. This isn’t chance; it’s a deliberate network, rooted in Smith’s Masonic playbook.
And the crypto-Jew twist? Mormonism has hidden Jewish elements, with Smith’s rituals echoing Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). The Rothschilds, as banking overlords, are said to fund such “crypto” ops to infiltrate Christian groups—positioning Mormons as a controlled “bloodline” for bigger agendas (Springmeier, p. 1). This sets the stage for the mafia’s jump to big business.
(1) Upon reelection President Trump told all U.S. energy providers to “drill baby drill” and maximize energy production. Trump then deregulated the industry for maximum efficiency: Secretaries Burgum (Interior), Wright (Energy) and Zeldin (EPA).
(2) Trump then meets with Putin in Alaska Aug 15, 2025. Three days later, Aug 18, 2025, Putin restarts Russia’s flagship Arctic project, the LNG export facility via the Northern Route to Asia.
(3) President Trump then signs contracts with Finland for the urgent start of Arctic icebreaking ship manufacturing in the USA and emphasizes the prior conversation about taking over Greenland which infuriates the Dutch and EU.
(4) President Trump then triggers the Venezuela operation, captures Nicholas Maduro and -in addition to other benefits- forms a new strategic oil development relationship with the interim Venezuela government. Russia stays silent.
(5) President Trump then triggers Operation Epic Fury against Iran; completely changing the geopolitical landscape that surrounds energy partnerships. Energy flows through the Gulf of Oman are impacted.
(6) President Trump then removes specific sanctions against Russia permitting Russian oil and LNG to be sold (in petrodollars) into the Asian market. Meanwhile, the European Union is forced to increase LNG purchases from the United States.
Sure, it could all be just coincidence… or not. One thing is certain, the FIVE-EYES opposition do not think all of this downstream benefit that flows to Russia and the USA is coincidental. The FIVE-EYES opposition see all of this as a strategic realignment between the USA and Russia, and they are going to do everything in their power to stop it.
The author of the above appears to be in favor of USA/Israel attacking Iran, which I am not, but he otherwise makes a good point. From a pragmatic POV, his insight should be taken in; he’s probably largely right. From what I can see, good relations with Russia are of paramount importance for all northern—Top of the World—nations, including Europe, Japan, Korea, as much of Central Asia as wants in, Canada and the Western-derived nations NZ and OZ. Good can usually be found in all situations and this may be a good side of what is happening in Iran, something I personally find revolting and grossly laden with pseudo-Christian nonsense along with Jewish Supremacist madness. It’s basic Buddhism to recognize the human realm is characterized by craziness and delusion. Politically, we always have to work with what we have and no one ever gets everything they want or need.

A disgraced Catholic bishop who was accused of visiting a notorious Mexican mega-brothel 12 times in one month was abruptly arrested on his way out of the country.
Bishop Emanuel Shaleta, 69, was detained at San Diego International Airport on Thursday after church members accused him of pocketing up to a million dollars from the Chaldean Catholic Eparchy of St. Peter the Apostle.
According to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office, Shaleta was charged with eight counts of embezzlement, eight counts of money laundering and one enhancement of ‘aggravated white collar crime.’
The Pillar previously reported that the bishop was expected to travel to Rome this week.
A church member originally contacted police with accusations against Shaleta in August 2025.
The Vatican ordered an investigation alongside the Sheriff’s department after allegations of financial fraud and personal misconduct came to light.
Investigators alleged that Shaleta took at least $427,345 from parish accounts, issuing so-called reimbursement checks that he signed himself.
Shaleta was also allegedly seen frequenting a Gentleman’s Club in Tijuana that has been described as a brothel where women and girls have allegedly been trafficked and forced to work.
UPDATE: Almost all humans become slaves to their metacognitive content, whatever that may be. In the video above, all participants are beholding (or pretending to behold) Jesus as the top of their metacognitive content. In Iran, political leaders are beholding something else at the top of their metacognitive content. In Israel, leaders are beholding something else. All three of these religions sprang from an inchoate Abrahamic tradition. Among these three, there are numerous further divisions and subdivisions. I believe there is not a single Catholic in the room above. Prayer is good and I am glad they are praying. I am not trying to dump on anyone, but do want to mention that Buddhism is different from all other religions in that it enjoins us (more or less) to not behold, or hold, anything at the top of our metacognitive content. This is the area the Buddha refused to describe, define or answer questions about. Why is that? It is because reifying top metacognitive content, holding it as absolute truth, is to retreat from its true reality; believing you absolutely know what God wants, however you put that, is a hindrance to fully experiencing Ultimate Reality, which you can call God if you want. The Buddha did not even use the term Ultimate Reality. He left the top metacognitive category blank, to be filled only by your own individual experience. For the fun of it, no matter how you see yourself, try throwing all of it out, leaving nothing at the top of your metacognition — no content, no identity, no self, no pride, no gods, no Buddha. Then go outside and walk around. Notice how easy it is to function perfectly well after replacing your habitual metacognitive prison with pure experience. ABN
For decades, we’ve been looking to the skies for any sign of aliens – but it turns out we may have been missing attempts at contact.
A new study has cast doubt on our radio signal detection methods, arguing that ‘space weather’ could be distorting incoming transmissions.
Until now, most experiments have focused on identifying spikes in radio frequency – signals unlikely to be produced by any other natural processes in space.
But experts have highlighted an overlooked complication.
Even if an extraterrestrial transmitter produces a perfectly narrow radio signal, it may not remain narrow by the time it leaves its home star’s atmosphere.
This distortion, which happens near the point of origin, can ‘smear’ the signal’s frequency, meaning it can be missed by our detectors that are primed to search for more focused radio waves.
‘Searches are often optimized for extremely narrow signals,’ Dr Vishal Gajjar, astronomer at the SETI Institute and lead author of the paper, said.
‘If a signal gets broadened by its own star’s environment, it can slip below our detection thresholds, even if it’s there, potentially helping explain some of the radio silence we’ve seen in technosignature searches.’
Bimanual classic: Write numbers 1-20 (left hand) + alphabet A-T (right hand) at once, no rhythm. Builds flexibility; dual-task studies show prefrontal gains.
Here are several additional evidence-based dual-attention switching exercises (also called dual-task or task-switching activities) that rely purely on your body, voice, simple household objects, or mental effort—no apps, devices, or technology required. These build on prefrontal cortex engagement, executive function (like flexibility, inhibition, and working memory), and motor-cognitive coordination, similar to the ones mentioned earlier. Many draw from physical therapy, neurorehabilitation, and aging/fitness research showing benefits for attention switching, balance, and cognitive reserve.
Perform each for 1–5 minutes per set, 3–5 sets a few times per week. Start easier and gradually increase difficulty (e.g., faster pace, longer duration, or more complex cognitive elements). Safety first—use support if needed for balance tasks.
Walking + Serial Subtraction / Backward Counting Walk at a steady pace (indoors or outdoors) while counting backward by 3s, 7s, or another number from 100 or 200 (e.g., 100 → 97 → 94…). Variations: Name months of the year backward, recite the alphabet skipping every other letter, or list items in a category (animals, cities) while walking. This is a classic motor-cognitive dual task that improves gait stability, executive function, and attention switching, especially effective in studies on older adults.
One-Leg Balance + Verbal Fluency or Alphabet Recitation Stand on one leg (hold a chair or wall lightly for safety if needed) while reciting the alphabet backward, spelling words backward (e.g., your name or common words), naming as many items as possible in a category (fruits, tools), or counting backward from 50 by 2s. Switch legs after each set. This targets balance + rapid cognitive flexibility and is frequently used in dual-task balance training protocols.
Ball Toss + Category Naming / Word Association Toss a soft ball (tennis ball, rolled-up sock, etc.) up and catch it repeatedly with one or both hands while naming items in a category (e.g., vegetables, movies), saying words that start with a specific letter, or alternating categories every few tosses. Solo version: Bounce it against a wall or floor. Partner version: Toss back and forth while keeping the verbal task going. This combines hand-eye coordination with verbal fluency and quick switching—very common in cognitive-physical dual-task programs.
Marching in Place + Head Turns or Directional Commands March in place (high knees if able) while slowly turning your head side to side or up/down, or follow self-given commands like “left, right, forward, back” (pointing or saying directions). Add counting backward or naming opposites (hot/cold, up/down). This works vestibular input + attention shifting and appears in many balance + cognitive dual-task routines.
Tandem Walking / Heel-Toe Line Walk + Mental Math or Memory Recall Walk heel-to-toe in a straight line (like on an imaginary tightrope) while doing simple mental math (e.g., add/subtract serial numbers), recalling a short shopping list backward, or reciting a poem/lyrics from memory. This challenges dynamic balance and working memory/attention switching simultaneously.
Bimanual Coordination + Auditory-Verbal Switching (No Sound Needed) Perform alternating hand movements (e.g., one hand taps thigh while the other makes circles in the air, then switch) while naming days of the week backward or alternating between two categories (e.g., “boy name → girl name → boy name…”). This is a pure motor + cognitive switch task that trains bilateral coordination and rapid task alternation.
These are straightforward, free, and adaptable to different fitness levels. Research (including reviews in journals like Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience and PMC sources on dual-task interventions) shows consistent gains in executive function, reduced dual-task interference, and better real-world multitasking from regular practice. Track your progress—many people notice easier daily switching (e.g., conversations while moving) after a few weeks. If you have any balance or mobility concerns, check with a healthcare provider first. Which type appeals most, or want tweaks for a specific goal?
The FBI claims a rifle was fired from 142 yards away at a UVU event.
So we did something no one else has done — we used the physics of light vs. sound across 6 independent cell phone recordings to measure the actual distance to the source.
Light arrives instantly. Sound at 343 m/s. The delay = the distance.
Expected delay at 142 yards: 379ms Measured delay: 35ms
It looks like the sound of the shot was merely sound effect used to make it appear Kirk was killed by a rifle shot from the roof. Imo, Bray’s work on the weapon used to kill Charlie is the best to date. ABN
…President Trump proactively secured the border, targeted narcotraffickers, confronted narcoterrorists, targeted Mexican drug cartel leadership, leveraged the DOJ to indict regional actors, pushed China out of control in the Panama Canal, took out Nicholas Maduro, took control of Venezuela oil production – both for the security of the U.S. and benefit of the Venezuelan people, removed the discounted oil benefit for China and reasserted stability in the Western hemisphere.
Then, with all that in place, he turned toward Iran…. but, proactively planned for a ‘Shield of the Americas Summit’ before the Iran operation began and scheduled it while Operation Epic Fury continues.
This is but a snippet from a longer article which is well-worth reading. I largely agree with the snippet above and with what Trump appears to be doing in the Western Hemisphere so far. The timing of Trump’s actions is also appropriate, but the author of this essay seems to agree with the attack on Iran. I respect the website this essay comes from and view it every day because it often has good insights into USA politics. At the same time, Jewish Supremacy and its roles in USA and US policy is never mentioned. This is unfortunate and could be due to habitual blinders or something else. In today’s world Jewish Supremacy and its terrible harms to USA and the world cannot reasonably be ignored. One could say that JS and its followers have the power and opportunity to conquer Iran and Russia, so let them do it. That is not an entirely irrational thing to say. I am not in that camp, but this is a Kill-Or-Be-Killed (KOBK) world at the top and that is how the world has always been. A KOBK analysis of what is happening is a deep and gruesome one, but KOBK is also the very nature of elite reality. JS and others going for world domination probably see themselves as Alexander the Great, which if they succeed would sort of be true. It’s always a good idea to see any event from all points of view, including the JS POV. ABN
