The crash of the US Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker in Iraq was not caused by a foreign attack or friendly fire. A mid-air collision with another US Air Force KC-135 is suspected. tinyurl.com/KC-135-IraqC...

A 1917 document has been circulating purporting to prove the US agreed to Denmark's control of Greenland. It is actually a Receipt of Payment. The 1916 CONVENTION (Treaty) recognizes Danish authority in Greenland on page 10. The full text can be downloaded here: docs.pca-cpa.org/2016/01/a312...

In a study following 23 million people age 18-59 (pretty young) for 4 years…despite the fact that the ones who got the COVID vaccine were overall older and sicker at baseline, they not only had 74% lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated but 25% lower risk of dying from any other cause!

I shot this in 1991 on the anniversary of a violent crackdown on demonstrations for democracy after a 1980 coup d'état in S. Korea. The military claimed these were "riots" instigated by "communist sympathizers", and killed up to 2,300 protestors in Gwangju. Sound familiar? vimeo.com/1119996462?

Ultraconservative Takaichi Sanae is in the running with young Koizumi Shinjiro to replace Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru, who just announced his resignation. According to NHK News, if chosen by a majority in the first round, she could become Prime Minister. In a runoff, Koizumi could win.

In an executive order, Trump ordered Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to create “specialized units” in the National Guard “specifically trained and equipped to deal with public order issues." Professional killers trained in deescalation? Good luck. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-25-...

Despite federal oversight, elections, and promises of reform from a new sheriff, little has changed for people detained in Erie County jails.

Democrats closed psychiatric hospitals, then Republicans killed budgets for community services. Homelessness spiraled. MAGA's criminalising homelessness and locking them up may result in property values rising, but it will further harm those with psychosocial problems. tinyurl.com/criminalisin...

Iran warned the US of their missile strikes on the bases six hours in advance, so personnel could be moved out of harm's way. The regime needed to show its population it was reciprocating. I previously wondered whether the US leaked to the Iranians its impending bunker buster bombardment.

Trump contradicting his “No New Wars” campaign statements and bypassing Congress when ordering a bunker bombs attack in Iran are straight from Putin’s playbook. Remember, Russia is not “at war” with Ukraine.

I was concerned there would be radiation leakage from the bunker bombs’ deep penetration into the large centrifuge halls, but it seems plausible there was none or a negligible amount.

I was surprised Trump would use Fentanyl as an excuse to declare a national emergency, especially "coming from Canada". Murders with machine guns are also an epidemic. Now a new, dangerous artificial opioid is hitting the Streets. As if humanity did not have enough self destructive threats.

Americans have never experienced living under a dictatorship. South Koreans have. That is why the people mobilised immediately to stop President Yoon from declaring Martial Law, and impeached him. In 1991, I filmed news on the anniversary of the 1980 Gwangju massacre where 600 to 2,300 were killed.
