AIPAC is Funding Dr. Ala Stanford's Congressional Campaign in Philadelphia- if she is elected will she Serve Barbaric IsrAeliens or Black People?

AIPAC has been funneling money into the campaign of Dr. Ala Stanford in Pennsylvania’s 3rd congressional district, before the next slate of Democratic primaries, new federal campaign filings reveal.

Stanford has denied taking AIPAC money in the race for an open Philadelphia seat, but the records show the pro-Israel group has been secretly routing money directly to her campaign and into a super PAC supporting her that backs candidates who are involved in science or medicine. The structure allows Stanford, a pediatrician, to distance herself from the group’s increasingly toxic political reputation with the American public, while still benefiting from its cash outlays.

The super PAC is called 314 Action Fund, and as of April 21, had spent more than $2.6 million boosting Stanford, according to the latest filings. The group’s most recent monthly filing reveals a $500,000 donation from Kimbark Foundation, a group whose only other donation is $500,000 to EDW Action Fund, another PAC that has previously acted as an AIPAC shell organization. In the 2024 cycle, AIPAC used EDW Action to secretly funnel money to support Maxine Dexter, also a pediatrician, in her race against Susheela Jayapal in Oregon. It’s stated purpose is to elect pro-choice Democratic women. 314 Action has reported just $2.8 million in independent expenditures, meaning their support for Stanford represents the bulk of their independent spending so far.

Coin-Operated Black Ho-Rep Cherfilus-McCormick Resigns after Ethics Committee Found Evidence She Misused Federal Disaster Money while Doing Nothing to Solve Problems Plaguing Black Communities

 The House Ethics Committee has determined Florida Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick violated House rules after examining accusations she funneled federal disaster relief funding into her congressional campaign, the panel’s chairman said Friday.

The decision, handed down in a press release from the bipartisan ethics committee, comes just hours after the panel convened an exceedingly rare public hearing to discuss the Florida Democrat’s conduct.

Little was divulged about how the ethics panel arrived at its conclusion. Committee chairman and Mississippi Representative Michael Guest said in a statement lawmakers deliberating on whether there was “clear and convincing evidence” to back up the fraud accusations against Cherfilus-McCormick determined that the counts had been “proven.” Discussion about the congresswoman’s conduct lasted “well past midnight,” Guest said.

The Ethics Committee chairman added the panel will hold a hearing after the House returns from its April recess to discuss possible sanctions against the Florida Democrat. [MORE]

War Veteran says Unprovoked, Immoral War Against Iran Driven by Corporate Profit, not Nuclear Concerns

From [HERE] The US-Israeli war against Iran was never about nuclear weapons, but about corporate profit and control over the country’s oil, according to a prominent American anti-war activist.

In an interview with the Press TV website, Mike Ferner, a long-time anti-war activist and former national director of Veterans for Peace, pulled no punches in his criticism of Washington's motives and the influence of Zionist lobbies and US corporations.

Asked whether the US-Israeli war against Iran was necessary, particularly given that it unfolded in the midst of Oman-mediated nuclear talks in Geneva and despite Iran's repeated assertions that it is not seeking a nuclear weapon, Ferner offered a blunt answer.

"The war was necessary if you understand that the US is an empire and US corporations govern it, influenced by Zionists," Ferner told the Press TV website.

He identified financial interests as the primary drivers of the war, not security concerns.

"Weapons-making corporations saw it as an opportunity to make billions," he stated. "Oil companies saw it as a way to reassert control over Iran's oil. These corporations basically control our foreign policy."

Ferner also pointed to the collapse of diplomatic alternatives, noting that a functional nuclear agreement had already existed, one that the Trump administration had previously withdrawn from, referring to the 2015 nuclear deal.

"There was a functioning agreement that Trump will not be able to replace," he said. "In the meantime, Iranians are suffering and dying, while in this country millions of people still go without health care."

Many analysts, including Iranian officials and even some US figures such as former top counterterrorism official Joe Kent, assert that President Donald Trump was drawn into the war by Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu, who had previously failed to persuade US presidents to directly engage Iran on Israel's behalf.

"It would not surprise me if that were true," the anti-war activist said.

On Washington's stated rationale for the unprovoked war against Iran, Ferner pointed to both Iran's consistent position on its nuclear program and recent US military actions.

Iran has long maintained that it does not seek a nuclear weapon, a position backed by a formal religious decree (fatwa) from the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. [MORE]

Just 16% of Americans Rate "the economy" as excellent or good, and nearly half describing it as poor, according to Gallup

Absolutely incredible,” commented Kobeissi Letter. “Over the last six years, the S&P 500 has risen +130% while US Consumer Sentiment has collapsed by -55%, to its lowest since data began in 1952. We are witnessing the formation of the biggest wealth divide in modern history.”

Kobeissi Letter produced the graphic one day after the University of Michigan’s latest survey found consumer sentiment hitting the lowest level on record.

Joanne Hsu, director of the survey, observed that “the cost of living continues to be a first-order concern, with 57% of consumers spontaneously mentioning that high prices were eroding their personal finances, up from 50% last month.”

On the same day, Gallup published new data showing that Americans’ economic confidence has fallen to its lowest level since October 2022, with just 16% of Americans rating the economy as excellent or good, and nearly half describing it as poor. [MORE]

US Gov Nuclear Propaganda Parroted by Massa Media is Designed to Justify Endless Aggression Against Iran

From [HERE] For nearly two decades, the central pillar of American foreign policy toward the Islamic Republic of Iran has rested on a single, carefully manufactured fiction: Iran is racing to build a nuclear bomb capable of endangering regional and global peace.

This claim was never backed by any credible intelligence and no report from the UN nuclear watchdog ever substantiated it. It was, from the beginning, a concocted narrative – a powerful, world-spanning piece of propaganda designed to justify every act of economic terrorism and outright military aggression.

From the shadowy assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists to the sabotage of nuclear facilities, from the maximum pressure campaign of the Trump era to the unprovoked military aggressions, the "Iranian bomb" was the ghost that Washington needed to keep alive.

But like all ghosts, it was never real.

Today, after decades of psychological warfare, billions of dollars wasted on espionage, and a brutal, multi-front war against Iran and the Axis of Resistance, the truth has become unavoidable. America’s nuclear propaganda against Iran has failed – spectacularly, irreversibly, and in full view of the world.

It has failed because the world has finally seen through the mirage. The recent escalation in American rhetoric – the frantic, almost panicked refocusing on Iran’s "nuclear intentions" – is a death rattle of a discredited lie being recycled in vain.

The US is now caught in a trap of its own making. Having bet everything on the premise that Iran is a “rogue nuclear state,” Washington must now explain why, despite all the pressure, all the assassinations, all the sabotage, and all the unprovoked wars, there is still no bomb, no weaponization, and no movement toward one.

The more America screams about a threat that does not exist, the more it reveals its own impotence and the true, sinister motives hiding beneath the surface of its "world savior" costume.

The anatomy of a manufactured crisis

To understand why the US propaganda machine has intensified, even as its military campaigns fail, one must understand the functional utility of the nuclear lie. There are some core reasons for this renewed focus, each of which exposes a deeper strategic wound.

First, the US requires a "universally appealing" justification for its crimes. America cannot sell another war of aggression to the global public simply by saying, "We want to overthrow Iran because it refuses to be our colony." Instead, it must drape itself in the mantle of the "savior of the world." [MORE]

[more on the Great Brain Robbery] 'The World’s Most Urgent Problem is that American Psheeple Perceive the US Government's Murders of Non-White People and Theft of Their Lands and Resources as Normal'

…. But when our own governments are involved in the murder of people with darker skin, speaking different languages, practicing different religions and living in different cultures, we’re able to compartmentalize away from the urgency of the situation.

This says terrible things about us as a civilization. We’re no different than the wife of a serial killer who ignores the bodies being buried in the backyard because she’s more worried about what his online gambling addiction is costing the family.

We’re disconnecting ourselves from something precious and important within us in order to psychologically dissociate from the crimes of the empire in the way that we do.

This hurts our fellow human beings, but it hurts us too. We’re doing something ugly to our insides when we twist ourselves into knots to avoid facing the cold hard reality of western military slaughter.

It warps us as people. It profoundly impacts the way we experience life. It scratches the lenses of our perceptual filters. How could it not?

All these wars and genocidal atrocities are an invitation to reclaim a sacred part of ourselves by treating them with the urgency they deserve. There’s no way to live an authentic life and move into a truth-based relationship with reality without doing so. [MORE]

US Intelligence Contradicts TrumpStein: Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, is not currently building one, and does not seek to build one

From [HERE] On May 5, 2026, President Trump told a group of young children in the Oval Office that “we have to make a journey down to Iran to take the nuclear weapon. They would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks.”

Trump also told the children, “Iran with a nuclear weapon…maybe we wouldn’t all be here right now… I can tell you, the Middle East would have been gone. Israel would have been gone. And they would have trained their sights on Europe, first, and then us.”

According to the White House website, Trump warned Iran against having nuclear weapons on 74 occasions prior to the war.  Since the war began on February 28, 2026, Trump has discussed Iranian nuclear issues in at least 20 documented public appearances, based on the Senate Democrats’ Trump transcript archive and Roll Call’s Factbase transcript database.

Some of Trump’s more pointed claims:

About six weeks into the current war, on April 16, 2026, Trump said Iran “would have had a nuclear weapon within one month” if the U.S. had not used B-2 bombers to strike Iranian civilian nuclear energy facilities during the June 2025 war on Iran.

About one month after the war began, Trump said on March 27, 2026, “the Iranian lunatics refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons” after the June 2025 war.

And on February 24, 2026, just four days before starting the current war in Iran, Trump said that Iran was “warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program, and in particular nuclear weapons, yet they continue. They’re starting it all over…”.

Trump’s statements go beyond saying ‘Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.’ He has repeatedly claimed that Iran was weeks away from having one, that U.S. strikes stopped Iran from obtaining one, and that Iran was trying to rebuild or continue a nuclear weapons program.

But Trump’s claims are not supported by the record. In fact, official statements from U.S. intelligence, the State Department, the IAEA, and others state that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, is not currently building one, and does not seek to build one.

US Intelligence, Government Agencies & Figures

The CIA claimed that Iran had a nuclear weapons program before 2003, but for more than two decades, they have assessed that Iran halted that program in 2003 and is not seeking a nuclear weapon.

The broader U.S. Intelligence Community has reached the same conclusions in official assessments:

• Joe Kent, who resigned as Trump’s Director of the National Counterterrorism Center citing his opposition to the war in Iran, wrote on May 8, 2026: “One of the many tragedies of this war is that before the war began, the U.S. Intel Community, including CIA, was in agreement that Iran wasn’t developing a nuclear weapon & that Iran would target U.S. bases in the region & shut down the Strait of Hormuz if they were attacked by Israel & the U.S.”

• About three weeks after the war started, on March 18, 2026, U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard stated, “As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer [in June 2025], Iran’s nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There [have] been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability.”

• On the same day, the 2026 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community was released. The report, reflecting the conclusions of the 18 U.S. intelligence agencies, did not state that Iran has a nuclear weapon or an active nuclear weapons program. Instead, it said Iran was seeking to recover damaged nuclear infrastructure, had denied inspectors access to key facilities, and remained under U.S. Intelligence Community monitoring for WMD-related capabilities and actions.

• Also on March 18, 2026, one day after Joe Kent resigned as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, he was asked whether Iran was on the verge of creating a nuclear bomb. Kent replied: “No. They weren’t three weeks ago when this started, and they weren’t in June either.” Kent also said Iran had a fatwa, or legal decree, barring nuclear weapons and that “we had no intelligence to indicate that fatwa was being disobeyed.”

• About five weeks before the war started, the Department of Defense released the 2026 National Defense Strategy on January 23, 2026, stating that “Operation MIDNIGHT HAMMER [in June 2025] … obliterated Iran’s nuclear program.”

• Four days after the 2025 war on Iran began, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on June 17, 2025: “Director Gabbard stated publicly in March [2025] that the Iranians were not actively pursuing a bomb… I’ve seen nothing in recent intelligence that contradicts what Director Gabbard said.”

• Two months before the 2025 war on Iran began, the U.S. State Department released its Arms Control Compliance Report in April 2025. The report said, “The United States continues to assess that Iran is not currently manufacturing a nuclear weapon, although it has undertaken activities that better position it to produce one, if it so chooses.”

• More than two months before the 2025 war began, Gabbard testified on March 26, 2025: “The [Intelligence Community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khomeini [Khamenei] has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.”

• Also in March 2025, the Director of National Intelligence’s Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community stated that “Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and that [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003, though pressure has probably built on him to do so.”

• On January 10, 2025, CIA director William Burns said, “We do not see any sign today that any such decision has been made,” to weaponize their nuclear program.

• On October 7, 2024, Burns said there was “no evidence that Iran has decided to build a nuclear weapon,” and if it did, the U.S. and its allies would most likely be able to detect such a step soon after it was taken.

• The April 2024 U.S. State Department Arms Control Compliance Report said, “The United States continues to assess that Iran is not currently undertaking the key nuclear weapons development activities that we assess would be necessary to produce a testable nuclear device.”

• The 2013 CIA Center for the Study of Intelligence review repeats the National Intelligence Estimate’s (NIE) core judgment: “We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program.” 

• On September 27, 2013, President Obama said, “Iran’s Supreme Leader has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons. President Rouhani has indicated that Iran will never develop nuclear weapons.  I have made clear that we respect the right of the Iranian people to access peaceful nuclear energy in the context of Iran meeting its obligations.” 

The United Nations’ Nuclear Watchdog

• About six weeks after the current war began, Rafael Grossi, head of the IAEA, the UN’s nuclear watchdog, said on April 6, 2026, “While there has been no evidence of Iran building a nuclear bomb, its large stockpile of near–weapons grade enriched uranium and refusal to grant my inspectors full access are cause for serious concern,” adding that “unless and until Iran assists the [IAEA] in resolving the outstanding safeguards issues, the Agency will not be in a position to provide assurance that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful.”

• Roughly a week after the war started, Grossi said on March 4, 2026, that there was no evidence that Iran was currently building a nuclear bomb and that the IAEA had not found proof Iran was developing a nuclear weapon.

• On Oct. 29, 2025, when asked whether Iran was developing nuclear weapons, Grossi said: “No, they are not, and they were not. I want to be very clear on this.” He also said the IAEA’s June 2025 report, “said clearly that Iran did not have such a programme” and that “we do not see anything that would give rise to the hypothesis of any substantive work going on there.”

• On June 20, 2025, one week after the 2025 war on Iran began, Grossi said, “The IAEA can guarantee, through a watertight inspections system, that nuclear weapons will not be developed in Iran.”

Former Fauci Aide Indicted for Conspiracy to Hide Government Records on COVID Origins - but Don't Expect TrumpStein Administration to Follow Through

From [HERE] A federal grand jury today indicted a former senior adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci for allegedly using his personal email account to hide communications about the origins of COVID-19 while shaping the public narrative that the virus emerged from nature instead of from a lab.

Dr. David Morens, 78, who served in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Office of the Director between 2006 and 2022, faces five charges, including conspiracy, destruction of records in federal investigations and concealment of records. Fauci led the NIAID until his departure in December 2022.

Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 5 to 20 years in prison.

According to the indictment, dated April 16 and unsealed Monday in federal court in Maryland, Morens used his personal email account to shield communications from federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

The indictment also lists two unidentified co-conspirators who allegedly collaborated with Morens to conceal and destroy federal records.

According to Fox News, the emails between Morens and other government officials allegedly included “discussions about COVID research, efforts to influence funding decisions, and exchanges related to messaging on the virus’s origins.” [MORE]

FDA Knew of Better Method to Detect Sudden Deaths After COVID Injections — But Refused to Use it.

New documents obtained by Sen. Ron Johnson reveal that Biden-era federal health officials refused to use a state-of-the-art statistical tool for detecting COVID-19 vaccination signals in VAERS — even though they knew the tool they were using was broken and failed to pick up on safety signals, including sudden cardiac death.

Biden-era health officials rejected a state-of-the-art statistical tool for detecting COVID-19 vaccine safety signals — and instead deliberately continued using a broken method because they didn’t want to “feed in to [sic] anti-vaccination rhetoric,” according to a report released today by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).

The report — “Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals” — includes emails from U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials who told an FDA researcher to “cease and desist” using the updated tool to analyze COVID-19 vaccine injury reports in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

The FDA knew as early as 2020 that the method they were using was inferior and that a better one existed, according to the emails.

Ana Szarfman, M.D., Ph.D., a then-FDA medical officer and safety data mining developer who worked in the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), tried repeatedly to get FDA officials to switch over to the improved tool. [MORE]

Kennedy Gives Johnson Data That Reveals How HHS, CDC and FDA Hid COVID Shot Death and Injuries

Misleading People to Destroy Informed Consent: No, Covid Injections Didn’t Save Millions of Lives, Hospitalizations in United States

One of the most pressing issues facing the scientific and medical communities is the catastrophic loss of the public’s trust in accepting their advice and/or recommendations. And it’s overwhelmingly due to their own actions and statements.

There are books’ worth of examples worth of examples. Such as the early part of the pandemic when they flip-flopped on masks, from claiming that they didn’t work to stating that getting 80% of the public to wear them would end the pandemic in a matter of weeks, to their claims that the lab leak was a racist conspiracy theory, and all the way to absurdities such as predicting the Super Bowl in Florida would be a “superspreader event.”

Or the mass panic when states like Mississippi and Texas ended their mask mandates, or when the mandate on airplanes was lifted…and nothing happened afterward.

But certainly nothing may have damaged their trust more than the steadfast assertions that the COVID vaccines were able to stop infection and transmission. And one study and analysis from a heavily credentialed group of experts on the vaccines shows how committed they were to misleading people in order to suit their political and ideological aims.

A Sambo Latino Houston Cop said She “Hates NGHRS" and 'Loves Using Authority to Practice Racism [for her masters].' Will the White Liberal DA Exonerate the NGHRS She Arrested and Helped to Convict?

DISFLUENT, STUPID COP WAS PROBABLY A DEI HIRE. From [HERE] A sambo Latino officer with the Houston Police Department has been relieved of her duties after bragging about using the N-Word in a now-viral video, according to a report.

The cop, named in various reports as Officer Ashley Gonzalez, also boasted in the clip about an incident in which she beat up a Black person.

An investigation into the video has been launched, and Gonzalez has been relieved of her duties, sources from the department told KPRC-TV.

The clip, which shows Gonzalez ranting to the camera while sitting in her car, has been widely condemned by members of the local community.

“The amount of times that I will always and forever say that I f*****g hate [racial slur],” the former cop says.“‘Oh, we were slaves,’” she added in a mocking voice. “I don’t give a f***, [racial slur], like for a f*****g reason you guys were f*****g slaves.”

The woman went on to say that she “whooped the f*** out of that [racial slur’s] a**,” recounting an alleged incident involving the unnamed man and her purse.

“Y’all don’t know how good it felt to say [racial slur] out loud,” she said. “Oh my God, I felt like I was back in the Marine Corps, [racial slur].”

The police officer goes on to say that she grabbed a man by the neck while hurling the racial slur at him.

“I felt like the world just stopped, like, it was just peace,” she added, before uttering the slur several more times.

Sources from the HPD told KHOU 11 that Gonzalez graduated from the police academy in January 2024. The channel also confirmed that Gonzalez has served four years with the USMC.

Records from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement obtained by Fox 26 stated that Gonzalez had spent eight hours completing a “cultural diversity course.”

Gonzalez also spent three hours working on an “implicit bias in social justice” course.

Community activist Dr. Candice Matthews told KHOU 11 that the language used in the video caused “discord between the community and law enforcement.”

“And that’s not what we want,” she said. “In fact, it also caused a discord between Hispanics and African Americans.”

Matthews added that her team is urging anyone who has had contact with Gonzalez to come forward and that they are investigating possible civil rights violations.

According to the HPOU, the HPD “prides itself as being the most diverse police department in the nation.” [MORE]

Despite Constitution, Liberals Arrest/Kill Blacks who They Think Carry Guns: OH Cops who Attacked Unarmed Black Man Had No Reason to Believe He Had a Gun Other than being Black and Driving an Impala

From [HERE] The same Ohio cops captured on video earlier this month forcing a Black man out of his car after pulling him over for not using a turn signal were involved in a separate incident with another Black person that resulted in a $27,500 settlement in January.

The latest video shows Dayton police officers Riley Brown and Elyzabeth McDonald forcing a 20-year-old Black man out of his car after he pulled into his own home without using a turn signal on April 1.

According to the arrest report, the cops pulled Jeffrey Johnson Jr. out of the car after demanding to know if he had any guns in the car but rather than answer them, he attempted to call his mother. But the arrest report provides no explanation as to why they even suspected he may have had a gun in the car, other than being a Black man driving a Chevy Impala.

In fact, they provided no explanation as to why they even decided to follow him in the first place, other than to “ascertain a license plate” – which is basically fishing for a reason to pull him over.

The cops continued following Johnson until he pulled into his driveway without using a turn signal, which was when they pulled him over.

They then claim in their report that they smelled weed coming from the car but they evidently did not find any weed or guns because all they charged him with was obstruction, resisting arrest, driving without a license and not using a turn signal.

Johnson’s female passenger recorded the video and posted it to TikTok with the following description, where it has been viewed more than 734,000 times as of this writing, accusing McDonald of snatching the phone from Johnson and throwing it on the floor of the car.

She also said they have a history of being harassed by the same cops.

“We have had 4 encounters with these officers and have became a target these are the only officers we ever have bad experiences with and something needs to be done before it’s to late no one cares about situations like this until someone is dead,” she wrote in the description of the video. [MORE]

Contrary to The Dependent Media’s Propaganda, Data Shows Iran Has Successfully Transported at Least 10.7 Million Barrels of Crude Oil through the Strait of Hormuz

From [HERE] and [HERE] The reported transit of at least 34 Iran-linked vessels through the Strait of Hormuz despite a declared U.S. naval blockade immediately reframes the operational credibility of maritime interdiction as a coercive geopolitical tool under conditions of contested enforcement.

The movement of approximately 10.7 million barrels of crude oil—valued at around US$910 million (RM3.46 billion)—within days of the blockade’s initiation demonstrates that Iran retains a functional export pipeline even under direct U.S. naval pressure.

Statements by U.S. leadership describing “total control” of the chokepoint stand in measurable tension with commercial maritime intelligence data, creating a credibility gap that carries both operational and strategic consequences for deterrence signaling.

The divergence between independent tracking analytics and official military claims introduces uncertainty into assessments of blockade effectiveness, complicating escalation management in a region where miscalculation risks rapid kinetic spillover.

This evolving dynamic unfolds against the backdrop of a fragile ceasefire environment, where economic warfare measures intersect with military posturing, amplifying the risk of unintended escalation in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.

The ability of Iran-linked vessels to continue transiting the Gulf despite heightened enforcement pressure highlights the enduring resilience of asymmetric maritime logistics networks developed over decades of sanctions exposure.

The operational tempo observed since April 13, 2026, suggests that enforcement actions, while disruptive, have not achieved a level of saturation required to fully interdict tanker traffic in a high-density commercial shipping environment.

The persistence of these transits indicates that Iran’s maritime export architecture is sufficiently distributed and redundant to absorb interdiction pressure without systemic collapse, thereby sustaining both economic throughput and strategic leverage in ongoing negotiations.

This leakage dynamic also forces U.S. naval planners to confront escalating resource demands, as maintaining credible interdiction across multiple vectors requires expanded surveillance, boarding operations, and force projection assets over an extended operational timeline.

Consequently, the emerging pattern reflects a shift from decisive blockade enforcement toward a protracted contest of attrition in which both sides test endurance thresholds across military, economic, and geopolitical domains. [MORE]

TrumpStein and Massa Media Pause Their ‘Oil First’ Agenda To Perform False Flag: Data Shows Searches for “Cole Thomas” in “Israel” Before “the Shooting.” Instant Bio/Crime Confession Diary Forthcoming

No Rational Reason to Presume Liars are Telling the Truth. From [HERE] and [HERE] Authorities identified the suspect as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, from Torrance, California, a Los Angeles suburb.

According to public records and materials reviewed by CNN, Allen worked as a teacher and video game developer and is a graduate of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where he studied engineering.

Carroll said Allen is believed to have been a guest at the Washington Hilton. FBI agents assembled overnight outside a property linked to Allen in Torrance, with police tape cordoning off part of the street. Police secured his hotel room and are examining its contents.

Allen faces two charges. The first is using a firearm during a crime of violence, and the second is assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon, according to US Attorney Jeanine Pirro. Additional charges may follow.

He is set to be arraigned in federal court on Monday. According to initial reports, no motive has been established, with Trump describing him as a "lone wolf" who appeared to be "sick". 

An image circulating widely on social media purportedly shows Allen wearing an "Israel Defense Forces" (IDF) shirt. Al Mayadeen English has not been able to independently verify the image's authenticity.

Google Trends data shows Israeli searches for Allen's name spiked to 49 in late January, four months before the White House Correspondents' DINNER

What is verifiable, though, is that Google Trends data shows a sharp spike in searches for Allen's name in "Israel" over three months before the shooting, then no interest at all for weeks. The trend was circulated on social media and then independently verified by Al Mayadeen English.

A second surge in Israeli searches for his name occurred on the night of April 25–26, appearing to begin before the attack took place.
