from Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche,

The indictment was returned by a grand jury sitting in this district of Miami on April 23, 2026 and was unsealed today.  For nearly 30 years, 30 years, the families of 4 murdered Americans have waited for justice.  This is a story all too familiar.  On February 24, 1996, two civilian aircraft operated by brothers to the rescue were shot down over international waters by military aircraft from Cuba.  Four men were killed.  Carlos Costa, Armando Alejandro, Jr., Mario de la Pena, and Pablo Morales.  They were unarmed civilians and were flying humanitarian missions for the rescue and protection of people fleeing oppression across the Florida Straits.  As alleged in the indictment, Raul Castro and five co-defendants participated in a conspiracy that ended with Cuban military aircraft firing missiles at those civilian planes and killing four Americans.  Those are the allegations returned by a Federal grand jury. My message today is clear: the United States and President Trump does not and will not forget its citizens.

SUSAN KOKINDA: After decades of sponsoring and protecting various radical islamist Fundamentalist leaders, British intelligence settled on the Muslim Brotherhood back in 1928 in Ismailia, Egypt.

At the 5:11 mark, Susan Kokinda pulls up a page to recently released, United States Counterterrorism Strategy.  Find her quote at the bottom of page 11 under Section B "The Middle East" of the United States Counterterrorism Strategy, released May 2026.

President Trump knows that all modern Jihadi groups, from al Qaeda to ISIS to Hamas, can trace their roots back to one organization: the Muslim Brotherhood. The MB is the root of all modern Islamist terrorism predicated on recreating the Muslim Caliphate and killing or enslaving non11 Muslims. That is why he took the historic step of issuing an Executive Order that declared the original Egyptian MB chapter, along with the Jordanian and Lebanese chapters, as FTOs, soon to be followed by others. Given the Muslim Brotherhood’s key role in promoting modern terrorism, we will continue to designate its branches across the Middle East and beyond as FTOs to crush the organization everywhere it operates.

5:46. That's the president of the United States identifying the Muslim Brotherhood as the root of all modern islamist terrorism.  Well, if it's the root, who planted the seed?  After decades of sponsoring and protecting various radical islamist Fundamentalist leaders, British intelligence settled on the Muslim Brotherhood back in 1928 in Ismailia, Egypt.  That's where the British Suez Canal company and the British military were headquartered.  The British Suez Canal company helped the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood build the mosque which became its base of operations.  And from then on the Muslim Brotherhood was used by intelligence and often their little brothers in American intelligence against nationalist movements throughout the Middle East.  All of this to protect the Empire's economic and strategic positions.  Now, if you want to dive into the history of this, check out either or both of these two books:

Devil's Game: How the United States Helped Unleash Fundamentalist Islam, Robert Dreyfuss, 2006.

Secret Affairs: Britain's Collusion with Radical Islam, Mark Curtis, 2010.  Curtis is a former research fellow at the Empire's Chatham House.

Kids used to tell me how schools were like prisons, and I'd agree just to be in empathy with them but wasn't truly convinced since places and time spent is what you make it, what you do there to get yourself out or to move to the next level.  But this may be the most visually convincing argument that "schools are like prisons" and how irrefutably true the point is in spite of the most well-meaning, suicidally empathetic adults you have occupying the classroom.  Kids will leave school with much of the campus mapped in their heads, a memory of their favorite or most-liked teacher along with some of the most forgettable people in their lives.  And then this threat of prison, of returning to it, of making it some defaulted comfort from childhood remains as a sword of Damocles over one's head.  And I don't care if the school is some fancy Catholic school like Mater Dei or fancy prep school like Evans.  Yes, kids will return to somewhere.  Make that somewhere home, their mother's abode.  Heartbreaking.  And then think of the ghouls that occupy the classrooms or administrative offices or off-campus offices for when they're called upon to do some hideous, clandestine action against a teacher to isolate him, destroy his character, identity, and reputation.

Even if schools are not actual prisons or physical copies for the real thing, it's a psychological prison, which is even worse.  From John Holt, 

In a great many other ways, he learns that he is worthless, untrustworthy, fit only to take other people's orders, a blank sheet for other people to write on. Oh, we make a lot of nice noises in school about respect for the child and individual differences, and the like. But our acts, as opposed to our talk, says to the child, "Your experience, your concerns, your curiosities, your needs, what you know, what you want, what you wonder about, what you hope for, what you fear, what you like and dislike, what you are good at or not so good at - all this is of not the slightest importance, it counts for nothing. What counts here, and the only thing that counts, is what we know, what we think is important, what we want you to do, think and be." The child soon learns not to ask questions - the teacher isn't there to satisfy his curiosity. Having learned to hide his curiosity, he later learns to be ashamed of it. Given no chance to find out who he is - and to develop that person, whoever it is - he soon comes to accept the adults' evaluation of him.

GREG BOVINO: You can’t “target” your way out of a system that imports unvetted chaos, releases people with removal orders, and puts American kids at risk.

from Gregory Bovino,

Targeted enforcement is a deadly fantasy for solving our problem of 100 million illegal aliens: Guatemalan illegal who entered as an “unaccompanied minor,” ignored his deportation order, then spent years raping a girl starting at age 10. Each nightmare like this triggers a massive police investigation: specialized detectives, forensic interviews, medical exams, prosecutors, court time. Hundreds of thousands in taxpayer dollars per case, plus the lifetime trauma costs to the victim that run into the hundreds of thousands more. All completely avoidable. You can’t “target” your way out of a system that imports unvetted chaos, releases people with removal orders, and puts American kids at risk. Secure the border. Deport first. Protect our children and stop bleeding money on preventable horrors.

PETER CLACK: The industry boasts that solar panels are '95% recyclable'. Technically, yes - because they are made of glass, aluminum and copper. But economics always trumps physics. In Australia and the US, it costs roughly $20 to $28 to properly disassemble and recycle a single panel, but only about $4 to dump it in landfill.

This isn't just a pile of debris - it’s the future of green energy waste hidden in plain sight.

Millions of solar panels are hitting their end-of-life cycle, and the world is completely unprepared for the coming toxic avalanche. By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency projects up to 78 million metric tons of solar e-waste. Where is it all going to go?

The industry boasts that solar panels are '95% recyclable'. Technically, yes - because they are made of glass, aluminum and copper. But economics always trumps physics. In Australia and the US, it costs roughly $20 to $28 to properly disassemble and recycle a single panel, but only about $4 to dump it in landfill. 

Because there is no financial incentive, up to 90% of decommissioned panels go straight into the ground.  

Each solar panel is an industrial 'sandwich' bound tightly by heavy polymers. To extract the microscopic amounts of valuable silver and high-purity silicon requires energy-intensive chemical and thermal baking.  

When they are crushed or left to fracture in landfills, heavy metals like lead and cadmium can leach into the surrounding soil and groundwater, turning 'clean energy' into a multi-generational hazardous waste problem.

The crisis is accelerating faster than models predicted. Because solar cells degrade and lose efficiency, and because newer, cheaper panels hit the market, consumers and solar farms are ripping out functional systems at least a decade early to upgrade.

This compressed lifecycle destroys the narrative of a long-term, stable asset and creates an endless loop of unrecyclable industrial trash.

SAMA HOOLE: A herd of bison, fifty miles wide, takes five days to pass the hillside you are standing on. Colonel Dodge recorded this in Arkansas in 1871, and he was not the only one. From the top of Pawnee Rock the herd ran to the horizon in every direction at once. The earth, observers wrote, trembled at three miles.

In 1870, if you took a spade to the ground in Iowa, or Nebraska, or eastern Kansas, you could push it in to the haft and not hit anything that wasn't soil. Six feet of topsoil. Black, friable, alive. The richest agricultural earth on the planet, by a margin so absurd that European visitors with farming backgrounds went silent when they saw it turned over. Most arable land on Earth carries between one and eight inches of topsoil. The Great Plains carried seventy-two. Nobody had ploughed it. Nobody had fertilised it. Nobody had irrigated it. It had been built, slowly and completely, by something else. Stand back from the spade. Stand back from the field. Stand back far enough to see the continent. A herd of bison, fifty miles wide, takes five days to pass the hillside you are standing on. Colonel Dodge recorded this in Arkansas in 1871, and he was not the only one. From the top of Pawnee Rock the herd ran to the horizon in every direction at once. The earth, observers wrote, trembled at three miles. Sixty million animals. The largest gathering of large mammals the planet has ever held. They had been doing this for ten thousand years. The grass grew tall because the bison grazed it hard and moved on. Their hooves broke the crust for seed. Their wallows held the rain. Their dung fed the microbes. Their carcasses fed them harder. The deep-rooted prairie grasses, big bluestem, switchgrass, Indian grass, drove their roots fifteen feet down, locking carbon into the soil at a depth no plough would ever reach. The bison built the 6 feet of black earth. The bison were why it existed. Then the hide market arrived. Five thousand bison a day, shot from train windows, left to rot. The U.S. government encouraged it openly, because starving the Plains nations was cheaper than fighting them. By 1889, of the sixty million, five hundred and forty-one remained. The plough followed within a decade. The grass was turned under. The hooves and the wallows and the dung had stopped. The soil, untethered from the system that built it, dried. In April 1935 it rose into the sky as a black wall a thousand miles wide and travelled to the Atlantic. Six feet of soil, built over ten millennia, blown into the sea in a generation. There is no putting the bison back at that scale.

The cow is the closest analogue the continent has. Run her like a bison, on grass, on the move, in a tight mob. Watch what the land does. 

 

European mineral waters (especially from certain geological regions) tend to have higher overall mineralization, including sulfate, compared to typical North American spring waters.

No wonder why these waters are preferred: they're tastier than most because of the low sulfate.  But if you want health, then pursue waters with highest sulfate.

If you have a sensitivity (e.g., digestive issues) or prefer low-sulfate for taste, stick with options like Mountain Valley, Evian, or Fiji.  --Grok.

Not exactly — while many high-sulfate waters are sparkling mineral waters, carbonation itself doesn't cause high sulfate levels. Sulfate comes from the geological source (e.g., gypsum or dolomite layers the water passes through). Some still waters can also be high in sulfate, and many popular sparkling waters (like Perrier) have relatively low levels. 

High-sulfate waters (>200 mg/L SO₄) are often classified as "sulfate mineral waters" and may have a slightly bitter taste or mild laxative effect in large amounts.

Ranked List of Popular Bottled Waters by Sulfate Content (mg/L SO₄, approximate typical values)

Here’s a top-to-bottom ranking based on reliable analyses (values can vary slightly by batch/source):

Highest Sulfate:

Contrex (France, still): ~1,121–1,300 mg/L (extremely high) 

Crazy Water No. 4 (USA): ~1,170 mg/L

Roi (Slovenia): ~2,100 mg/L (very high, but extreme overall mineralization)

San Pellegrino (Italy, sparkling): ~420–549 mg/L (consistently one of the highest among widely available options) 

Apollinaris (Germany, sparkling): ~80–139 mg/L

Gerolsteiner (Germany, sparkling): ~35–40 mg/L

Badoit (France, sparkling): ~35–40 mg/L

Perrier (France, sparkling): ~25–33 mg/L

Buxton or similar UK/EU still/sparkling: Often 20–40 mg/L range

Evian, Volvic, Fiji, Crystal Geyser: Usually <10–20 mg/L

Mountain Valley Spring Water (USA, still): ~9 mg/L (low, as previously noted) 

Very low sulfate (often <5–10 mg/L): 

Many purified waters (e.g., Dasani, Aquafina) and some spring waters like Poland Spring or Deer Park.

Notes:

European mineral waters (especially from certain geological regions) tend to have higher overall mineralization, including sulfate, compared to typical North American spring waters.

Always check the specific bottle label or the brand’s latest water quality report, as natural sources can have minor variations.

If you have a sensitivity (e.g., digestive issues) or prefer low-sulfate for taste, stick with options like Mountain Valley, Evian, or Fiji.

Let me know if you want more details on a specific brand, TDS comparisons, or recommendations based on taste/health goals!
