The United States recently completed the transfer of 10 former Coast Guard ships to four Asian countries, including two involved in territorial disputes with China, a Newsweek map shows.
The handover of cutters held both practical and politically symbolic significance in response to China‘s assertiveness in the South China Sea, where it claims sovereignty over most of the waters, naval analyst Collin Koh told Newsweek.
Donald Trump has threatened to turn the Department of Government Efficiency on his former ‘First Buddy’ Elon Musk.
The president suggested he may use the department Musk once headed to strip away the billionaire’s government subsidies to decimate his business empire, as their feud hit galactic new heights.
‘Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social early Tuesday.
‘It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one.’
He then turned the screws on Musk, suggesting his time benefitting from the U.S. government could be over and that the South African native could be forced to return to his homeland.
‘Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!’
It is possible Musk has been poisoned or transmogrified by energy weapons or destabilized by some other deliberate method. There are many groups who would do that to him.
It’s also possible he was a Trojan time-bomb from the outset.
X has become terrible since his flap with Trump, which happened around the same time X’s algorithms were changed to yield more shallow, cartoonish feeds.
It’s also possible Musk has Promethean fantasies, or Icarian ones and rose so high he had to fall.
Of these possibilities, the two that are more serious are: 1) he has been poisoned or 2) he was himself a plant, a poison pill from the beginning. Both options suggest a clandestine group working nefariously behind the scenes to control Musk through the carrot or the stick.
This is how elites operate. They do this to maintain control, and even want the public to see it and know it. It serves as a warning.
Where does Trump stand in this? No way to be sure but he is still better than any other option I can see. ABN
The American people are not being told why Israel agreed to a ceasefire with Iran. Yes, Israel was rapidly running out of air-defense interceptors (making it more vulnerable to Iranian attacks.) But that issue is only of secondary importance. The real reason they wanted a ceasefire was because they were getting systematically pulverized and needed to stop the bleeding fast. That’s why Israel ‘threw in the towel’ less than 2 weeks after the opening salvo, because Iran was decimating one target after another with no end in sight. So, Israel capitulated.
Of course, that is not the story we’ve been reading in the western media where there’s no mention of the vast destruction of Israeli strategic targets (by Iranian ballistic missiles); that news has been completely omitted from the mainstream coverage. But that’s why Israel persuaded Trump to find a diplomatic off-ramp; because the losses were beginning to mount and Iran was not ‘letting up.’
Let’s summarize: In a little more than a week’s time, Iran struck or obliterated:
The “Israeli Pentagon”, the Kirya military-intelligence complex
The Weizmann Institute of Science which plays a role in Israel’s clandestine nuclear program
The Aman military intelligence headquarters at the Glilot Mizrah Interchange, near Herzliya. Aman oversees elite spying units such as Unit 8200 (signals intelligence), Unit 504 (human intelligence), and Unit 9900 (geospatial intelligence).
Branches of the Israeli ministry of interior affairs responsible for internal military coordination
The Mossad’s operational headquarters
Israel’s most protected Nevatim Airbase (and the Tel Nof Airbase)
Ben Gurion Airport (repeatedly) as well as Ramat David, Palmachim and Ovda near Eilat.
The Command-and-Control Centers of the Israeli military and Mossad in both Tel Aviv and Haifa…..
The Bazan Oil Refinery in Haifa—Israel’s largest fuel processing center
A giant power station in Ashdod, triggering a powerful explosion and localized blackouts.
The Rafael Advanced Defense Systems complex north of Haifa—home to multiple factories and R&D buildings that produce key elements of Israel’s military hardware
The Kiryat Gat Industrial Zone—a major center for microprocessor and high-tech military production
The Gav-Yam Negev Advanced Technologies Park near Beersheba, which hosts firms working in cyberwarfare, AI, and military tech.

Get the picture? In just 10 days (June 13 to June 23) the Iranian military meticulously destroyed a sizable portion of Israel’s most prestigious military, intelligence, industrial, energy, and R&D facilities across the country. (Have you read about any of this in the western media?) Had the war continued for another week or two, the Holy Land would have been reduced to a smoldering third world wasteland unfit for human habitation. In short, this was no normal ceasefire. This was a desperate capitulation by an overmatched contender who quickly realized he was punching ‘above his weight’.
GE Appliances on Thursday said it would spend $490 million to move the production of most of its washing machines from China to Kentucky.
The operation will move to the company’s massive industrial Appliance Park headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, where it already manufactures washers and dryers. At least 800 new full-time jobs are expected to be created, the company said in a news release.
The news came as President Donald Trump is attempting to lure companies back to the United States by imposing tariffs. He has slapped additional tariffs on China, as well as other countries. GE Appliances is a subsidiary of the Haier company, which is based in China.
This is the result of tariffs. More of this, more cheap energy, more nuke reactors, more trade, more wealth, more freedom, less war or no war, more freedom of speech, more happiness. ABN
We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country. They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Things are getting very interesting as the clock ticks toward the end of the USMCA trade agreement.
Almost no one is watching the USMCA element because it quietly exists only in the background of events. However, pay close attention to the ancillary stories because they will eventually merge with the end of the USMCA and two bilateral trade agreements between the U.S-Canada and the U.S. and Mexico later this year.
NATO funding and Canadian economic independence, and by extension the EU and China, comes into the northern agreement. Border security and Mexican economic independence, and by extension immigration and China, comes into the southern agreement. The strength of MAGAnomic policy flows directly through both.
In the quiet sphere, a few days ago Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a key player in the trade program, announced sanctions against three Mexican financial organizations that underline the influence of the Mexican cartels and the Mexican government. [Treasury Announcement Here]
“The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued orders identifying three Mexico-based financial institutions—CIBanco S.A., Institution de Banca Multiple (CIBanco) [ORDER HERE], Intercam Banco S.A., Institución de Banca Multiple (Intercam) [ORDER HERE], and Vector Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V. (Vector) [ORDER HERE]—as being of primary money laundering concern in connection with illicit opioid trafficking, and prohibit, respectively, certain transmittals of funds involving CIBanco, Intercam, and Vector. These orders are the first actions by FinCEN pursuant to the Fentanyl Sanctions Act and the FEND Off Fentanyl Act, which provide Treasury with additional authorities to target money laundering associated with the trafficking of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids, including by cartels”. (more)
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is furious. “The Treasury Department hasn’t provided a single piece of evidence to show that any money laundering was taking place,” she said. “We aren’t going to cover for anyone, there isn’t impunity here. They have to be able to demonstrate that there was actually money laundering, not with words, but with strong evidence.”
Secretary Scott Bessent has provided all of the evidence above in the three orders. However, this U.S. Treasury action is going to cause a massive disruption to the financial system used by Mexican officials to remain in power. This is the key point.
Remember, the Customs and Border Patrol enforcement action in Los Angeles was not about deporting illegal aliens. The origination of the chaos in Los Angeles centered around the ‘customs” aspect of the CBP as they targeted local businesses that were operating as money laundering outfits for drug and human trafficking into the USA.
Again, for emphasis, the subsequent riots that took place in Los Angeles were NOT originated by deportation operations involving ICE; they originated from CBP and FBI operations involving Mexican money laundering. The ICE operations came as an outcome of encounters with illegal aliens who were working inside the Los Angeles businesses that were under investigation.
Last night on CNBC Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff hinted that some stunning revelations around expansion of the Abraham Peace Accords would likely surface in the next week. Immediately thereafter, President Trump sent a message of support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, against a judicial effort targeting the Prime Minister.
Today, we start to hear of some rather stunning developments in the region that might explain multiple background stories, including the above and the severity of response from President Trump when he felt that Israel was overreacting to the Iran missile fired during the early hours of the ceasefire.
In a stunning development, Israel Hayom is reporting on the outlines of a peace agreement and long-term solution for the Israel-Gaza conflict. The report might explain why President Trump made bold moves in Syria recently, including the removal of all U.S./western sanctions and the close relationship between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MbS).
According to Israel Hayom, there was a 4-way call (Trump, Netanyahu, Rubio, Dermer) after the Iran strikes. President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to “fundamental principles in general terms” including:
♦ “Gaza hostilities will conclude within two weeks.” ♦ “Four Arab nations (including Egypt and the UAE) will administer the Gaza Strip, replacing the murderous Hamas terrorist organization.” ♦ “The remaining Hamas leadership will face exile to other countries (possibly Qatar and Turkey), while the hostages gain freedom.” ♦ “Multiple nations globally will accept numerous Gaza inhabitants seeking emigration.” ♦ “Abraham Accords expansion will bring Syria, Saudi Arabia, and additional Arab and Muslim countries to recognize Israel and establish official relationships.” ♦ “Israel will declare its willingness for future Palestinian conflict resolution under the ‘two states’ concept, contingent upon the Palestinian Authority reforms.” ♦ “The United States will acknowledge limited Israeli sovereignty implementation in Judea and Samaria.”
It’s new world. If this large peace deal holds, the Middle East will boom. At the same time the world can look forward to a very large wealth increase through robotic productivity and AI. This is a wonderful ’embarrassment of riches’ we all should celebrate. The Trump faction of the global elite has taken us to this point. Possibly by this example alone, Russia, USA and Europe will make a lasting peace based on many centuries of shared religion, heritage, genes, and culture. If Arabs, Jews and Persians can do it, so can white people. ABN
For the sake of urgency I’m going to talk in direct and bold terms about the targeting of Tulsi Gabbard. The IC system is attempting to remove her as a disruptive influence by using Iran as a wedge to get her out, but the issue they have with Director Gabbard has nothing to do with Iran.
CTH approaches this after being very concerned about Tulsi Gabbard’s ability. Not because of intent, but rather we doubted her understanding of the scope of the IC opposition aligned against an effective Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Chairman Tom Cotton, the disassembled National Intelligence Council and a host of Intelligence Community embeds would like to see Gabbard removed. DC wants to see her removed because the traditional role of the DNI has been a willfully blind tool of the Intelligence Community; Gabbard is not that.
In the past few weeks, ever since she began intercepting the ICIG issues and using her own personnel to monitor the IC network, she has been targeted with several direct smear campaigns. It is obvious the targeting is coming from inside the intelligence apparatus, and perhaps even the orbit around/under CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
Tulsi Gabbard is rumored to be in Donald Trump‘s ‘line of fire’ as she has been sidelined ahead of a much-anticipated intelligence briefing to Congress to detail Trump’s recent strikes on Iran‘s nuclear facilities.
Now, the spy chief will be absent on Thursday as Trump officials offer Congress evidence of how successful the strikes were. Trump has angrily insisted CNN and The New York Times were wrong in saying they had minimal effect.
Gabbard was originally supposed to join members of Trump’s inner circle – CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth – in the briefing.
A person familiar with Gabbard’s schedule told the Associated Press said she was originally going to attend but no longer.
‘The media is turning this into something it’s not,’ a senior Trump administration official told The Washington Post, adding that Ratcliffe will represent the intelligence community.
This piece is interesting enough to post, but consider the source and wait for the outcome. A deeper take is the Deep State has been trying to get rid of Gabbard in earnest for a few weeks. It’s very possible the DS leaked the preliminary report, which seems insignificant but has been blown into a big deal by, probably, none other than the DS and its media operatives. ABN
UPDATE: This talk provides good information about the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and the consequences therefrom. To me, it seems clear Trump made the right move by taking out Iran’s main threat. Israel has no reason to keep fighting and neither does Iran. The deeper story that now the Gulf Cooperation Council and other countries in the region will form a collective hegemony over the Middle East should become more apparent in the weeks to come. We should see signs of this happening and signs that the Gaza slaughter will slow down, if not stop altogether. Trump played a strong Kill-Or-Be-Killed (KOBK) move which apparently killed few if any people, while destroying Iran’s main threat. In this sense, Iran was ‘killed’. Overall, at the same time it looks like Israel’s Jewish Supremist fantasy of a ‘Greater Israel’ becoming the regional hegemon has also been ‘killed’. Trump killed two birds with one stone. ABN
An Iranian army sniper and a suspected terrorist with ties to Hezbollah are among illegal migrants living in the US who have been arrested by ICE since Sunday.
Ribvar Karimi, who served as an Iranian Army sniper from 2018 to 2021, was arrested in rural Alabama, where he has been living with his American wife.
When ICE agents found in him in the town of Locust Fork Sunday, he had an Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card, DHS claimed.
Karimi entered the country legally on a K-1 visa, for foreigners engaged to be married to Americans, in October under the Biden administration.
He married his bride, Morgan Gardener, in January this year. However, Karimi failed to adjust his status, making his presence in the US illegal.
In Minnesota, agents nabbed Mehran Makari Saheli, 56, a former member of off the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with admitted connections to Hezbollah, according to the Department of Homeland Security today.
He already had a conviction for felon in possession of a firearm and served 15 months in prison.
This story can be read as mind-control preprogramming for a series of false flag attacks inside USA; possibly leading to open USA war with Iran. There are a number of actors that might do false flags; those associated with Jewish Supremacy being the most likely. That being said, there surely are many hostile sleeper cells inside USA, including Iranian ones. ABN
