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.  

Send in the Nimitz, boys.

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.

School is prison with brighter colors? pic.twitter.com/pMAEeOCfHI

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.
