Unfortunately, we have a long and painful history with the Trump-era Main Justice system, intentionally leaking information to satiate the MAGA base and tamp-down demands for reform and accountability. For seven years various Trump officials have claimed to be working to bring accountability. None has been delivered.
Also unfortunately, the pattern of bread and circuses is repeating. The Dept of Justice leaked a letter to The Federalist, in order to affirm their performance.
Nearly two-thirds of Germans would “probably not” defend their homeland from invaders, a survey has found, in a blow to the government’s rearmament plans.
In a survey carried out for RND, a German broadcaster, 59 per cent of respondents said they were “probably” or “definitely” unwilling to defend the country from an attack.
Only 16 per cent of Germans were “definitely” willing to take up arms to defend Germany, while 22 per cent said they would “probably” do it.
WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) – The Trump administration on Monday reversed course on requiring U.S. cities and states to rebuke boycotts of Israeli companies in order to receive disaster funds, according to a statement, and deleted the earlier policy from its website.
The Department of Homeland Security removed its statement, opens new tab that said states must certify they will not sever “commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies” to qualify for the funding.
Reuters reported on Monday that the language applied to at least $1.9 billion that states rely on to cover search-and-rescue equipment, emergency manager salaries and backup power systems, among other expenses, according to 11 agency grant notices reviewed by Reuters.
This is a shift for the administration of President Donald Trump, which has previously tried to penalize institutions that don’t align with its views on Israel or antisemitism.
This flap reveals a rough societal border between Jewish Supremist control of USA and how far they can go. It also shows that strong public opinion openly expressed can and does push back against JS censorship. ABN
A new longitudinal study involving more than 240,000 individuals in the United Kingdom suggests that people who used both psychedelics and cannabis during the COVID-19 pandemic experienced average improvements in symptoms of anxiety and depression over time. Unlike other groups of drug users—who tended to report persistently worse mental health—this group’s mental health scores became comparable to those of individuals who had never used illicit drugs. The findings have been published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology.
Psychedelics are a class of substances that alter perception, mood, and cognitive processes. Classic psychedelics include psilocybin (the active compound in magic mushrooms), lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and dimethyltryptamine (DMT). These substances are known for producing intense alterations in consciousness, including visual and auditory hallucinations, shifts in thought patterns, and changes in self-perception. Unlike more commonly used substances such as alcohol or cannabis, psychedelics are often used less frequently and in settings intended to foster introspection or emotional insight.
…Military combat self-defence training in the Lithuanian Armed Forces is divided into three levels. At level one, soldiers learn basic techniques and acquire fundamental self-defence knowledge. Level two focuses on counterattacks and more complex combinations.
“At the highest level, tactics come into play – trenches, pits, rooms. Contact training includes fighting one-on-two, three-on-three, how to use a knife, stick, improvised weapons most effectively. All situations where a soldier might not be able to use their firearm and how to respond,” said Šeškevičius, describing level three.
Changes in military training began to influence the sporting side of combat self-defence, especially after the Lithuanian Armed Forces’ combat self-defence tournaments were revived in 2015.
“There was little protection against injury risks; only an eight-point scoring system limited the fights – once you reached those points, the match ended.
With the introduction of a more military-focused approach, we began incorporating technical elements and implementing better protective gear. As injuries and fractures began occurring, commanders became reluctant to send soldiers to compete. So we started refining the rules and adding safety measures. Competent instructors are essential – otherwise, injuries remove soldiers from their core military training, something commanders understandably want to avoid.”
A decade-long infiltration campaign by the Chinese Communist Party has penetrated the Federal Reserve—coercing employees, stealing sensitive data, and compromising America’s financial core.
Most Americans have heard about Chinese spies targeting our military or hacking private companies. But there’s another front in this quiet war, one that’s gone largely unreported—and it may be the most dangerous of all: China’s long game to infiltrate and manipulate the United States Federal Reserve.
A 2022 Senate investigation offered a rare glimpse into this operation, but even that barely scratches the surface. What’s playing out behind closed doors isn’t just a few bureaucratic missteps or naïve collaborations—it’s a full-blown economic espionage campaign.
This is warfare without bullets.
The Fed: A Prime Target for Chinese Espionage
The Federal Reserve is the engine of the U.S. economy. Its decisions move markets, shape global capital flows, and set the tone for the world’s monetary system. Infiltrating the Fed doesn’t just give China intelligence – it gives them influence.
Over at least a decade, the CCP has targeted Fed employees through a mix of coercion, recruitment offers, unauthorized data access, and propaganda partnerships, mostly hidden behind Chinese academic institutions and think tanks.
