More insider trading and war profiteering from inside the White House Billions made. Investigators were then told to stand down. Off the charts corruption.

Colin Kahl went from being stalked and threatened by Israeli mercenaries at Black Cube (along with Farrow) to having to negotiate Ukraine policy with Elon Musk. He's a one-man example of how civil servants get caught in the fray of what the US is now: a mafia state in thrall to technofascists.

It cannot be stressed enough, in part because our political press seems to just brush this off, but Donald Trump loves state-sanctioned violence. When he says this, he absolutely means it. Remember, when the J6ers were going to hang Mike Pence on the Capitol lawn, Trump was perfectly fine with it.

(1/X) Yesterday, Trump posted a snuff video of a man being killed by a tiger and cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink. If a Democratic president had at any point done either of those things, there would have been big political blowback. For Trump, there will be none, zero, nada....

This should set off a siren in every defence ministry in Europe: there needs to be much more urgency about developing autonomous capabilities, not subject to US caprices, for early warning of attacks, countering ballistic missiles, communicating with forces or controlling offensive weapons.

Finally, Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski sent a statement to Laura Loomer, telling her Ms. Comans was "fired for illegally funding" migrant shelters "in violation of President Trump's Executive Order." Both Lewandowski and Noem, the government now admits, knew this was false.
vii. February 11, 2025, Statement by DHS Secretary Noem and Corey Lewandowski to Blogger Laura Loomer. On or about February 11, 2025, Laura Loomer, a blogger with a large following, posted on X that “FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans was just fired for illegally funding over $59 MILLION for illegal Aliens to stay in luxury hotels in NYC last week in violation of President Trump’s Executive Order.” Ms. Loomer was given this information by then DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and DHS Special Government Employee Corey Lewandowski. Ms. Noem and Mr. Lewandowski provided this information to Ms. Loomer with the expectation that she would further disseminate it to her on-line followers. The Government concedes and the Court finds that other than the fact that Ms. Comans had been fired, the information provided to Ms. Loomer was entirely false. The Government further concedes and the Court further finds that Ms. Noem, Mr. Lewandowski, and officials at FEMA and DHS knew this information was false at the time it was provided to Ms. Loomer
