New Style Same Influence and Racist Control by White Liberals in NYC: In Mamdani's first 6 Months in Office 92% of All Persons Charged with Crimes were Black or Latino as NYPD Target Non-Whites

From [HERE] Relevant and reliable numbers reveal that under and throughout de Blasio’s two mayoral terms the NYPD resumed its aggressive, starkly biased tactics. To the surprise of no one, police practices during the single term of de Blasio’s successor, Eric Adams, not just persisted in targeting New Yorkers of color, but expanded their discriminatory impact.

Sources for the aforementioned “relevant and reliable” numbers are undeniable. The Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), a New York State agency, for example, collects arrest statistics for every local police department in our state including the NYPD which performs the informative service of breaking down its arrest data by race. For instance, you can find not only the total number of petty larceny arrests, the second most common arrest in our city, but also the numbers for the white, Black, Latino, and Asian New Yorkers arrested on that charge in a given year.

So what numbers has DCJS reported over the years? The majority of arrests in New York City are for misdemeanors, and every year 87.5 to 88.5% of those arrests involve New Yorkers of color. For some arrests, such as for fare evasion and driving with a suspended license, the percentage of New Yorkers of color reaches well more than 90%. Each year more than 50% of felony arrests involve Black New Yorkers even though Black New Yorkers now make up less than 25% of our city’s population.

n addition, there are the findings of the Police Reform Organizing Project’s (PROP) Court Monitoring Project, a kind of misnomer since its work actually involves assessing NYPD arrest practices. Everyone the police arrest in New York City gets arraigned shortly thereafter in the criminal courts operating in the city’s five boroughs.

Since 2014 PROP representatives have observed more than 12,000 arraignments focused on recording the race and charges for each defendant. Our findings during de Blasio’s years was that roughly 89% of NYPD arrests involved New Yorkers of color. During Adams’ term, it was approximately 91%. During Mayor Mamdani’s first six months in office we observed 875 arraignments, more than 92% involving people of color.

These numbers represent the disappointing reality that our progressive, socialist mayor has chosen to stand silently on the sidelines regarding NYPD practices. Meanwhile, the police commissioner, first appointed by Adams, Jessica Tisch, who shares the former mayor’s values and views, operates as head coach calling all the plays. She has continued, for example, quality of life enforcement strategies, also known as “broken windows” policing, infamous for arresting residents of inner city communities of color for minor offenses that have been virtually decriminalized in mainly white neighborhoods.

Another instance of Tisch’s Adams-like approach to her job involves the department’s gang database. During his campaign, Mamdani talked about abolishing the database which has been widely criticized as advancing racial discrimination, with 98% of the people listed in the document are New Yorkers of color, contributing to the high arrest rates of Black and Latino men. The NAACP Legal Defense Fund has reported that Mamdani has backpedaled from his commitment to eliminate it and has allowed Tisch to take the lead on the issue.

So the stark racial bias of NYPD arrest practices persists. For the poor New Yorkers of color targeted, the hardship involves not just the arrest and what may be a short-lived loss of liberty, it’s the other outcomes that result. Eli Northrup, a public defender for years, who’s now the Democrats’ nominee to represent Manhattan’s West Side in the state Assembly, described the devastating collateral consequences in an interview with an online news source: “I mean, people had their children taken away. People lost their jobs. People lost their housing. I had clients deported.” [MORE]

Electing a Black Governor and Hundreds of Other Liberal Authorities in Maryland Hasn’t Stopped Police Officers from Killing Black People w/Impunity. ACLU Reports 143 Dead, No Cops Convicted Since 2015

The American Civil Liberties Union published a report recently that details police killings in Maryland.

The report found police officers in Maryland killed 143 people between 2015 and 2023, and in that time period, no officers were convicted in any of those cases. 28% were unarmed

The ACLU has said the goal of the report was not necessarily to cast blame on police, but rather to find solutions to avoid deadly encounters. [MORE]

The full report states, One hundred and forty-three people were killed by police in Maryland between 2015 and 2023. This report documents who they were and how they died, and exposesa public safety and public health crisis rooted in systemic and institutional failures. The analysis draws on a comprehensive range of primary and secondary sources, including government reports, investigative databases, body-worn camera footage, court records, and witness statements, to analyze fatal police encounters during that timeframe and identify systemic patterns that inform our policy recommendations.

Who Really Has Power in Gary Indiana? An All Black City Council and Mayor Ineffective at Getting Electricity Restored for Nearly 3 Weeks in 80% Black City Controlled by Elite Whites

[MORE] BLACKS NOT VOTING HARD ENOUGH? Sleeping Toms may hallucinate that cities like Gary, Memphis, Baltimore, Atlanta and DC are not actually run by white liberals but are in fact run by Black elected officials. In reality however, Black people function as “the powerless class” and generally speaking are in charge of nothing independently of elite white liberals. Neely Fuller observes that ‘in spite of all statements black people may make about themselves having economic and/or political independence and the like, in the final analysis, they are all victims of the white supremacy process.’

According to Neely Fuller in a White Supremacy System the most accurate way to describe what "class" people are in is to describe their power relationship to each other. In their relationship with whites, Blacks cannot be be "upper" or "middle" - but only under whites in a white over Black operating system of vast unequal power. Fuller accurately explains, "in a socio-material system dominated by elite whites, all major decisions involving non-white people are made by elite whites. In general, elite whites are their bosses, their masters, and their major decision-makers. Whatever a Black person gets, and/or is allowed to keep, is the result of decisions made by elite whites. This is the functional meaning of White Supremacy (Racism) that many people — particularly Black people — prefer not to acknowledge. Dr. Bobby Wright explains, 'everywhere one finds Whites and Blacks living in close proximity to each other, whether it is Chicago or Zimbabwe, the whites are in control. Yet Blacks rarely question this extraordinary universal phenomenon which defies every known statistical law of probability.' In liberal jurisdictions, such as Gary Indiana, elite white liberals control and own all major resources (such as banks, local mainstream media, real estate, utilities and large corporate resources etc), anything of material value and generally make all the meaningful decisions in regards to Black residents. As such, elite whites are the direct or indirect masters of Black people in all areas of people activity. This necessarily includes controlling and directing the power of the local government, funding its elected officials campaign coffers and controlling “choices” presented to the votary.

There are no local governments in existence run by Black politicians on behalf of powerful Black elites, powerful Black corporations, powerful Black mainstream media or a powerful Black votary. It is fantasy for blacks to imagine that a black puppetician such as Muriel Bowser, the mayor of DC, is controlling D.C. on behalf of powerful Black interests who pull the strings behind the scenes or that powerful Black voters have concentrated their power into the white Mayor of Memphis and are really the ones calling the shots– especially when it is undisputed that those who own or control major real estate, industry, corporate businesses, banks, wealth and material resources are overwhelmingly elite whites.

The Electric Shock Gloves ICE is Spending up to $20 Million on are Already Used by Police Officers on Children in the Omaha Public Fool System, which is 80% Non-White

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is preparing to spend up to $20 million on electric shock gloves, an emerging technology already being deployed by police in public schools in Omaha, Nebraska. As of the 2023-2024 school year, Omaha Public Schools (OPS) has 80% “minority” enrollment, making it one of the most racially and ethnically varied districts in the state. [MORE] and [MORE]

ICE will equip officers with high-tech gloves capable of delivering electric shocks, according to documents published this week by the Department of Homeland Security. AP News first reported the plans.

These devices, dubbed G.L.O.V.E. (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter), have already been deployed by law enforcement officials across the country. In May 2025, the city of Omaha, Nebraska, awarded the Omaha Police Department $65,924 for 40 units of the same electric shock gloves to be used in public schools, city documents show. 

“These gloves are being purchased for school resource officers as another use of force option with the goal of deescalating and preventing use of force situations,” according to correspondence from the police department to the city’s purchasing department.

The Omaha Police Department and Omaha Public Schools did not respond to Fortune’s requests for comment on how or why the gloves were being used or about the training school resource officers received to use the devices. The publicly available documents did not provide specific examples of how officers in schools were using the devices, and it is unclear whether the devices are currently being used.

An NPR analysis calculated that more than 50 police departments across 20 states are using the technology at a moment when law enforcement officials, including ICE, are under increased scrutiny from Americans over use of excessive force.

The CTG-5 G.L.O.V.E. products deliver shocks ranging from 324 to 362 volts and have a hard operational limit of 380 volts. By comparison, a taser can reach between 1,200 and 1,500 volts. [MORE]

Deadly mRNA "Vaccines" were Beta Tested on Black People before being Used for Global Depopulation and Genthanasia

Elites beta-test various things on Black people before being integrated into the population, such as the destruction of so-called “constitutional rights,” behavioral medications, the use of invasive technology, food manipulation, weather modification and instilling a falsified consciousness through various devices. Neuropeons and neuropeans enjoy watching Black people being dominated and are too delusional and arrogant to ever think that authority won’t eventually treat them in the same manner for the real world product. The system of power supremacy seeks the domination of all mankind - the granfalloon of racism white supremacy is simply one of its tools.

Russell Simmons Dead Wrong about Bill Gates “Saving Black People” b/c Gates Suffers from Weiteko Disease, the Caucasian’s pathological fascination with the exploitation and genocide of his fellow man

Despite what anyone may say about Bill Gates, Russell Simmons wants Black people to respect him because of how many lives he believes the Microsoft co-founder has saved.

During a recent livestream, Simmons revealed his thoughts on Gates, considering the criticism he’s received in previous months due to allegations in the Jeffrey Epstein files about STI treatment pills.

“He’s put hundreds of billions of dollars into ideas and actual medicine that’s saved Black lives,” Simmons said, going as far to claim Gates has saved more Black lives than anyone in world history — referencing The Gates Foundation committing tens of billions of dollars toward malaria eradication, vaccines, and poverty-reduction programs across Africa.

“His intentions have been nothing but good,” Simmons continued — before then bringing up the situation described in the Epstein files: that Gates allegedly had sex with a woman and wanted medication to treat an STI, as well as sought medicine to give his then-wife, Melinda French Gates, without her knowing.

‘The Green Revolution Failed Africa’ but it Made Bill Gates Richer and Increased Starvation

Twenty years ago, the Gates and Rockefeller foundations launched the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), promising agricultural transformation from improved seeds, synthetic fertilizers, mechanization and commercial markets.

These interventions, they said, would double crop yields and farmer incomes, and cut food insecurity in half in one of the world’s hungriest regions. To achieve these goals, they urged African governments to subsidize inputs, reform policies and court private investments.

Bill Gates became one of the idea’s leading promoters. He argued that the technologies behind the original Green Revolution — particularly “magic seeds” and the “magical innovation” of fertilizer — could lift millions of people out of poverty.

He described the approach as “creative capitalism” — using business incentives, corporate investment and government support to create new markets that raise farmer incomes and thereby reduce hunger.

Africa could avoid many of the problems of the earlier Green Revolution in Asia by pursuing what Gates called a “greener revolution,” one “guided by small-holder farmers, adapted to local circumstances and sustainable for the economy and the environment.”

Many African groups disagreed from the start, arguing that agroecological approaches would reduce hunger more by rebuilding soils, cutting farmers’ dependence on expensive inputs, diversifying crops and making farms more resilient to climate and economic shocks.

What does AGRA’s record show? 

Now, nearly 20 years of data are in, and AGRA’s results fall far short of its promises. They raise fundamental questions about AGRA, the Gates Foundation and their influence on African governments and institutions.

The AGRA effort drew more than $1.5 billion in donations (two-thirds from the Gates Foundation), as African governments spent an estimated $1 billion a year in subsidies for fertilizer and other inputs in AGRA’s target countries.

“The Green Revolution has failed Africa,” the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa said in a new report. “Twenty years is long enough to judge the Green Revolution model by its results. The evidence does not justify another decade of the same priorities at greater scale.”

The report is based on an August working paper by Timothy A. Wise, senior research fellow at Tufts Global Development and Environment Institute, that reviews 18 years of United Nations and World Bank data from 2006 through 2024.

The analysis finds that across the 13 countries that were the focus of the AGRA effort, fertilizer use more than doubled and cultivated land expanded by 46% — yet yields for major staple foods increased by only 25%, far less than AGRA’s promised doubling.

Staple-crop yield growth was 1.2%, slightly slower than in the 12 years prior to AGRA, which saw 1.3% yield growth. It slowed even further in the most recent six years, to roughly 0.4% a year.

Most troubling, the number of chronically undernourished people increased by an average of 58% across AGRA countries. [MORE]

'Since IsrAeliens Claim to be the Descendants of African Hebrews from Ancient Times then Why Not Do Genetic Testing on Everyone in the Land to Determine who the Rightful Occupants are?'

According to THE FUNKTIONARY:

Israeliens – impostor (pale interloper alien) Hebrews—Eastern European stock Caucasians who adopted the philosophy, myths, fables, and traditions of the so-called “Jews” while living in Russia—masquerading as if they had any genetic or historical ancestry and cultural heritage to the Afrikan Hebrews, the Afrim people, who occupied Canaan (Palestine) from ancient times. 2) those who currently are occupying Palestine (the land of Canaan), colonizing and killing its rightful descendants, historic owners and dwellers), and are undeniably alien (foreign—not aboriginal) to that land. 3) impostor Hebrews originating from the Pale of Settlement in Kazzarian Russia currently an occupying force (militarily holed-up and propped-up by US financial support and British skullduggery) in occupied Palestine. 4) alien Jews—Pinchbeck Hebrews. Israeliens are East Europeans with no genetic or actual historic ties whatsoever to the land now called Palestine. Israeliens have brainwashed (and fooled) themselves and many others into believing this historical lie and propaganda that they are the descendents of “Jews” (a misnomer for African Hebrews, itself a misnomer for the Afrim people). Anyone with a modicum of research skills, knowledge of basic geography, philology, and an unbiased-by-religious-myth mind can easily confirm or validate this fact for his or herself. Both so-called Sephardim and Ashkenazim “Jews” are not historically tied to the Afrim. It’s not that Caucasians who have adopted the “Jewish” religion shouldn’t have a place to live—but how about suggesting relocating where they came from—the hills of Russia, and not on another peoples’ land. You don’t invade (break into) someone’s house (property) and expect them to just go away and not fight to get it back (despite how much force, murdering, deception, and propaganda that is brought to bear to justify such wrongful invasion and genocide). Psychological repression is both invisible and reflexive.

‘They Have No Rights’: Israel’s Chief Rabbi Denies the Existence of Palestinian People, Prays to his God [the government] for Their Destruction

Israel’s Sephardi Chief Rabbi David Yosef declared that “there is no such thing as a Palestinian people” and that Palestinians “have no rights.”

• Yosef claimed Gaza and cities in the occupied West Bank are for Jews and called for the destruction of Gaza and the establishment of Jewish settlements.

• The remarks drew condemnation over their denial of Palestinian identity and rights and their dehumanizing implications amid Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

‘No Such Thing as a Palestinian People’

Israel’s Sephardi Chief Rabbi David Yosef denied the existence of Palestinians as a people and declared that they “have no rights” during an address at the Gush Katif Museum in West Jerusalem.

“There is no such thing as a Palestinian people and they have no rights,” Yosef reportedly said.

According to reports of the speech, the chief rabbi went further, laying Jewish claim to the Gaza Strip and cities throughout the occupied West Bank.

Yosef also called for the destruction of Gaza and the establishment of Jewish settlements in the Palestinian enclave.

His remarks came amid growing calls from senior Israeli officials and far-right political and religious figures for the re-establishment of settlements in Gaza and the displacement of its Palestinian population. [MORE]

US Universities Get Millions to Do Military Research for Israel's Palestinian Holocaust and Wars Against Non-White People

See an insect crawling in the corner of the room? It might be a surveillance robot, thanks to research at Carnegie Mellon University to develop cockroach-like robots with, and for, the Israeli military.

Robot cockroaches, “terror-network” mapping, and rapid missile guidance are just three examples of at least 70 research projects U.S. universities have conducted on behalf of the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMoD). Over a thousand pages of internal university and U.S./Israeli military documents reveal a sweeping, decades-long program to sponsor military research collaborations with at least 30 U.S. universities, from Cornell to the University of California at San Diego, since at least 2009.

Projects are conducted in collaboration with the Israeli military and sometimes explicitly incorporate environmental conditions in Palestine into the work. One project designed fuel cells for “distributed sensor networks” tailored to the temperature and soil conditions of an Israeli border that could monitor “potential terrorist activity” for “border security.”

Recent reports from Dropsite News, The Nation, and the Anti-War Initiative found millions of Israeli military dollars flowing into U.S. schools. Public records obtained from 13 U.S. universities reveal this money was directed via a U.S. arms export program to fund collaborations with Israeli scientists and military officials. [MORE]

Iran Claims it Struck a US Aircraft Carrier and a Destroyer with Sophisticated Missiles, Threatens to Expand Prohibited Zone Outside the Strait of Hormuz

Analysis of Iran War Video Reveal US Military Strikes were Ineffective; Hitting Already Destroyed Sites, Abandoned Buildings, Empty Boats, etc

From [HERE A systematic analysis of footage released by US Central Command (CENTCOM), together with open-source videos circulating on Iranian social media, suggests a campaign that has largely exhausted its finite target bank and is approaching the limits of its military effectiveness.

The visual record

CENTCOM's released strike footage follows a consistent and familiar narrative. The targets are presented as militarily significant, the imagery is clean, and the message of precision and operational purpose is carefully reinforced.

But a closer examination of that footage – alongside videos recorded by Iranian civilians and journalists and shared on Telegram, X, and Iranian news platforms – suggests a different reality.

Every air campaign against an adversary faces the same structural constraint: its target bank is ultimately finite. The United States entered this campaign with an intelligence picture built over decades of satellite surveillance, signals intelligence, and human intelligence, identifying what it assessed to be Iran's highest-value military targets.

The evidence now emerging suggests that much of that target bank has already been worked through. What remains is an increasingly limited pool of objectives with far lower strategic value, raising questions about how much military utility the continuing strikes can still deliver.

This shift toward increasingly ambiguous targets is operationally revealing. A campaign that has exhausted its pool of high-value objectives and is increasingly striking targets of questionable military significance is, by definition, one that has reached its limits.

At that point, the relationship between individual strikes and any meaningful strategic effect becomes progressively more difficult to establish.

The official record

The following footage was released by CENTCOM itself as part of the public record of the campaign. Yet rather than documenting strikes on high-value nuclear, missile, or command-and-control targets, the videos frequently reveal a different pattern: attacks on objects whose military significance is unclear or appears limited at the time they were engaged.

1. A strike on an already-destroyed structure, southern Iran

The structure targeted in this clip shows clear signs of prior damage, collapsed sections, exposed structural elements, and debris consistent with an earlier strike. Whatever this structure once was, it had already been rendered non-functional prior to this particular engagement.

The repetition of strikes on already-degraded locations is a clear indicator of target bank exhaustion. Analysis of the visual record shows multiple instances of sites being struck in successive waves.

This pattern is difficult to explain on purely military grounds once a target has been rendered non-functional. When such a pattern of repetition extends across a broad range of target types, including sites that were not hardened to begin with, it suggests that the military campaign is desperately trying to maintain operational tempo against a shrinking pool of identified targets.

2. A strike on a moving bulldozer

This clip shows a single bulldozer, in motion, with no visible markings or context tying it to military use.

Construction equipment of this kind is hardly a strategic asset, as it would be a phone call away from procurement in a country like Iran. Moreover, there is nothing in the footage to confirm it was even military-related rather than civilian machinery.

3. A strike on a small boat, abandoned on land

The boat shown has no engine and no equipment aboard, and it rests on land rather than in water or in the proximity of a fortified base. The absence of propulsion or mounted military gear is consistent with a vessel that had already been abandoned, retired, or taken out of commission well before the strike.

CENTCOM strike footage, Bushehr Airport storage (Above). Satellite imagery comparison, the casings can bee seen in the same location over the years (Below)

4. A strike on a waste storage site at Bushehr Airport

Satellite imagery of this location shows the same waste storage area present for roughly fifteen years prior to the strike. This location, which contains what seems to be empty bomb casings, had seen no change for many years.

A site with over a decade of unchanged storage use in the historical record is difficult to characterize as a target of present-day significance. [MORE]

Experts say a US Cruise Missile, not ricochet, Struck a Wedding in Iran Murdering Defenseless People: Massa Media Ignores US War Crimes

A US munition struck a home hosting a wedding celebration in southern Iran directly, rather than ricocheting from another target, weapons experts who reviewed images and video verified by Reuters revealed. 

The strike in the small town of Kuhestak on Tuesday killed five people and injured at least 70 others. The harrowing massacre has renewed concerns over civilian casualties in the US war on Iran and is the most significant such case since a missile hit an Iranian primary school in February, killing scores of children and teachers.

US Central Command claimed its forces carried out multiple strikes across southern Iran on Sept. 1, targeting Islamic Revolution Guard Corps air defense positions, radar systems, and communications facilities. The attacks followed earlier Iranian retaliatory strikes against US military assets in the Gulf in response to ongoing US aggression.

On Thursday, US Vice President JD Vance claimed Washington was investigating the incident.Dozens of residents had gathered at a home in Kuhestak for a wedding ceremony on the night of the US aggression, according to eyewitnesses. Images and video verified by Reuters and examined by weapons experts indicate that a munition likely struck the roof of the house during the celebration.

Footage recorded after the strike shows debris scattered throughout the home where the wedding was taking place. Dress sandals and colorful decorations associated with local wedding traditions can be seen among the wreckage.

Four military weapons experts who checked visual material told Reuters that the damage was consistent with a direct strike rather than secondary damage caused by a munition ricocheting from another target. Three of the experts stressed that the weapon was likely American rather than a misfired Iranian air defense missile.

'Many people are under the rubble'

Images from the scene showed bloodied shoes scattered across the rubble, alongside wedding decorations commonly used in the area.

One eyewitness sent Reuters a voice message shortly after the strike, saying, “Kuhestak is destroyed. Four, five, ten houses were destroyed. Many people are under the rubble. God help us.”[MORE]

Latino Congresswoman Acknowledges 'Our Bombs Murder Civilians from Palestine to Iran'

A day meant to celebrate a couple’s new beginning instead turned into devastation, Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez said in a post on X, as she accused the United States of killing innocent women and children with its bombs in Palestine and Iran.

“From Palestine to Iran, our bombs are killing innocent women and children,” Ramirez wrote.

Ramirez referred to a US aggression on the small town of Kuhestak on Tuesday that killed five people and injured at least 70 others. The harrowing massacre has renewed concerns over civilian casualties in the US war on Iran and is the most significant such case since a missile struck an Iranian primary school in February, killing scores of children and teachers.

Ramirez said Congress could no longer “turn a blind eye” to war crimes by President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

“The time to hold warmongers accountable is now,” she wrote, calling on Congress to pass the Block the Bombs Act, reclaim its power, and “put an end to this endless war.”

Ramirez’s call for Congress to challenge the administration’s wars comes as concerns grow over the potential consequences of further escalation with Iran. Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson has separately warned in late August of the risk of a nuclear strike, calling for Trump to be removed immediately. [MORE]

Pentagon Admits To Committing Major Civilian Murder Massacres in Yemen Last Year

The Pentagon has admitted in its annual report on civilian casualties to Congress that it committed two large-scale massacres of civilians in Yemen during its bombing campaign against the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, last year, which War Secretary Pete Hegseth dubbed “Operation Rough Rider.”

In the report, the Pentagon acknowledged that the bombing campaign killed at least 153 civilians and injured 243, numbers that are a significant undercount. According to the Yemen Data Project, at least 238 civilians, including 24 children, were killed, and 467 civilians were injured.

The Pentagon acknowledged that civilians were killed in three strikes, including two that were among the deadliest US attacks on civilians in recent decades: the April 16, 2025, bombing of the Ras Isa fuel port in Hodeidah, and the April 25, 2025, strike on a migrant detention facility in the northern Saada province.

Big Oil Stocks Surged Due to Iran War—and New Filings Show TrumpStein is Cashing In

In a mandated filing with the Office of Government Ethics released Thursday, President Donald Trump was found to have made more than 1,000 stock transactions in June, including thousands of dollars invested in energy companies that were reaping record profits from the war Trump started with Iran.

Trump submitted financial disclosure forms to the OGE covering the second quarter of 2026, during which the Iran War continued, was paused for a ceasefire, and restarted again.

CBS News pointed to a “notable large transaction” on April 7, the day Trump declared a ceasefire with Iran after having threatened to destroy the country’s “entire civilization.” His investment accounts sold between $500,000 and $1 million of ExxonMobil stock that same day.

The filings were submitted days after Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) estimated that Trump’s oil and gas stocks have soared in value since before he began attacking Iran in February—an act that raised oil prices due to Iran’s retaliatory closing of the Strait of Hormuz. The holdings were estimated at $13 million to $46 million at the start of 2026 and $17 million to $61 million this month. [MORE]

Yurugu Trump Calls Piracy and Rule of Non-White Nation by Force “Negotiation.” Claims the US Government Now Owns Venezuela’s Oil

Kidnapped Venezuelan President Maduro and wife Ask Court to Dismiss Fake Charges in Rigged Case

Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, filed separate motions Wednesday in Manhattan federal court seeking dismissal of the charges against them. Maduro argued that he remains Venezuela’s head of state for immunity purposes, notwithstanding the United States’ refusal to recognize him as the country’s legitimate president. Flores contended that she is also protected as the spouse of a sitting head of state.

Maduro’s attorney, Barry Pollack, filed two motions before US District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein. The first seeks the dismissal of the entire Fourth Superseding Indictment. In a supporting memorandum, Maduro argued that customary international law grants him status-based head-of-state immunity. His lawyers cite the International Court of Justice’s Arrest Warrant case, which recognized broad immunity from foreign criminal jurisdiction for incumbent holders of certain senior state offices.

Additionally, Maduro claimed conduct-based immunity as the indictment relies partly on actions allegedly performed through his governmental positions. His attorneys characterized the issuing of diplomatic passports, deploying the military, and implementing foreign policy as official acts attributable to the Venezuelan state.

Maduro’s second motion seeks dismissal of count one, that of narco-terrorism conspiracy under 21 U.S.C. § 960a. His memorandum argues that the indictment fails to establish statutory jurisdiction or a sufficient nexus to the United States, and improperly applies the law to foreign conduct.

Flores’ separate motion seeks the dismissal of counts two, three and four. Her memorandum argues that she shares Maduro’s status-based immunity as the spouse of Venezuela’s head of state, and also possesses conduct-based immunity. Her lawyers wrote that her immunity “is an attribute of Venezuela’s sovereignty, and only Venezuela may surrender it.” [MORE]
