Iran Parliament Speaker rejects UN inspector access to bombed nuclear sites
Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf rejects claims that UN inspectors would be allowed access to nuclear sites damaged by US and Israeli airstrikes.
Elad Benari Jul 2, 2026, 12:07 AM (GMT+3)
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who headed the Iranian delegation for negotiations, on Wednesday rejected the notion that UN inspectors would be permitted to enter Iran’s nuclear sites that were bombed by the US and Israel.
"Claims regarding inspector access to bombed sites are false," Ghalibaf said, as quoted by Iranian media.
"We ourselves passed a law in parliament, the Supreme National Security Council passed it too; we made it law that under no circumstances do we allow access to sites that have been bombarded and damaged," he added.
US President Donald Trump recently stated that Iran will allow nuclear inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as part of the agreement with the US.
Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff made similar comments during a previous congressional briefing.
To date, Tehran has withheld information from the IAEA regarding the present location or condition of that material, while concurrently blocking inspectors from conducting assessments at the bombed facilities.
An agreement announced last September between Iran and the IAEA, intended to resume inspections and uranium accounting, has since been declared void by Tehran after Britain, France, and Germany triggered the return of UN sanctions previously lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi recently assessed that the bulk of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile is probably still located at the Isfahan nuclear complex which was struck last June.
The IAEA chief said at the time that the IAEA also seeks access to Iran’s nuclear sites at Natanz and Fordow, where additional nuclear material is present.

The Kids Are Not Okay With AI. And They Know It.
by The Epoch Times
July 1, 2026in Aggregated, Opinions
In this The Epoch Times article, Kay Rubacek reveals that Gen Z graduates are loudly rejecting AI hype at commencements, signaling deep skepticism and awareness of its threats to human cognition, jobs, and fulfillment.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, music executive Scott Borchetta, and real estate leader Gloria Caulfield faced boos when praising AI as the next revolution during recent university speeches.
Gallup data shows Gen Z excitement for AI plummeted 14 points to 22% while anger rose to 31%, with even daily users losing enthusiasm.
Nearly half of college students have considered or changed majors due to AI disrupting job markets, particularly in tech, business, and engineering.
Gen Z is the first modern generation testing less cognitively capable than their parents despite more schooling, with declining attention, memory, literacy, and IQ linked to screen-based education.
Young people increasingly prefer human-created work, analog activities like vinyl and journaling, and view AI as chipping away at challenge, creativity, and purpose.
The backlash reflects a generational revolt against being experimental subjects in elite-driven tech transformations without consent or regard for consequences.
This wisdom intact among youth offers hope amid AI’s advance, demanding adults heed their clear vote against unchecked disruption.

June 30, 2026
We have witnessed crazy summer weather in the United States before, but this year has been just bonkers. There was snow at the end of June, high winds just shredded a wind farm in South Dakota, there have never been more tornadoes in Illinois, the western half of the country is being plagued by severe drought, wildfires are erupting at a blistering pace, and now the eastern half of the country is going to experience a “4th of July furnace” caused by an absolutely colossal heat dome…
Half of all Americans are facing prolonged, dangerously hot temperatures from an intense heat dome as they head outdoors to celebrate the country’s 250th Independence Day.
The temperatures in some spots in the eastern US, like New York City and Washington, DC, could be the hottest in over a decade, and numerous high temperature records are likely to fall in the coming days.
The oppressive heat and humidity are already gripping the Midwest and South and it will expand to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Wednesday. The sprawling heat dome will then park over the East, particularly the Interstate 95 corridor, and peak by Friday.
I repeatedly warned my readers that things would get really hot once the “Super El Ni
ño” officially arrived, and that is precisely what has happened.Throughout the rest of this week, high temperatures will be way above normal from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean…
Actual high temperatures are forecast to range from 90 to 105 F in most areas from the Plains to the western slopes of the Appalachians early this week and from the Plains to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from Wednesday to Independence Day. Temperatures this week will be 10-20 degrees above the 30-year historical average in nearly three dozen states in late June and early July.
“The extreme heat and humidity are expected to bring near-record, or possibly record, energy usage to the mid-Atlantic power providers,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert said.
This is truly going to be an epic heat wave.
According to the Washington Post, a whopping 73 million Americans are expected to experience high temperatures in the triple digits…
73 million. That’s the number of Americans that are expected to experience triple-digit heat through Sunday.
190 million. Humidity will build to extreme levels for that many Americans by the end of the weekend.
205 million. For that many Americans, the risk for heat-related impacts will reach major or extreme levels through Monday, according to NOAA’s HeatRisk. At the rare extreme level, heat can be deadly to people without access to effective cooling.
The mid-Atlantic region will be hit particularly hard.
If you can believe it, in certain parts of the mid-Atlantic it could actually feel like it is 115 degrees outside once you account for the oppressive humidity.
One meteorologist is warning that it will be so hot in some areas that it “will melt your face off”.
If you live in an area that will be affected by this heat dome, please take proper precautions.
Sadly, there are still many people that do not take the heat seriously. In one very tragic case, an 18-month-old child ended up dead as a result…
An 18-month-old child died Monday after being found in a hot car outside an early education center in Plantation, Florida, on a day when temperatures climbed into the 90s.
Plantation police and firefighters responded at 5:39 p.m. Monday to a report of a deceased child inside a vehicle at A World of Discovery Academy, according to the Plantation Police Department.
The Plantation Fire Department confirmed the child was deceased, police said. Detectives responded to the scene, and an investigation into the child’s death is underway.
We need to educate our young parents better so that this sort of thing will stop happening.
When it gets extremely hot, we also see very large thunderstorms.
Throughout the rest of the week, the forecast calls for thunderstorms to develop all along the edges of the heat dome…
Rounds of thunderstorms will track along the edge of a massive heat dome through the days leading up to the Fourth of July. As the heat dome begins to weaken over the Independence Day weekend, severe thunderstorms are forecast to surge southward into areas that have remained largely storm-free this week.
During a heat wave like this week’s, sinking air beneath most of the heat dome suppresses thunderstorm development. Storms that do form typically develop along the weaker outer edge of the dome, where the flow around the high-pressure system helps steer them.
Thunderstorms will vary in size and intensity. Most will develop during the afternoon and evening, but some may organize into large complexes that persist overnight and continue into the next morning. In extreme cases, these complexes can evolve into derechos, while isolated storms may strengthen into supercells that may travel hundreds of miles. Both can be extremely dangerous and destructive.
Some of the storms that we have already seen have been absolutely frightening.
In South Dakota, a storm that actually occurred early in the morning produced a 131 mph wind gust that literally destroyed a bunch of wind turbines…
An early morning storm ripped through Highmore, South Dakota, about 220 miles east of Rapid City, producing a reported 131 mph wind gust that, if sustained, would fall within Category 4 hurricane strength on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Local KELOLAND meteorologists Scot Mundt and Brian Karstens were absolutely stunned by the wind speed, which reached 131 mph.
The violent straight-line winds toppled grain silos, damaged infrastructure, and knocked over large wind turbines.
Wind turbines are normally placed in areas that typically get high winds.
But they were never designed to handle a wind gust of this magnitude…
High temperatures also typically mean lots of tornadoes, and this year has been no exception.
In fact, the state of Illinois has already experienced more tornadoes in 2026 than in any other full year on record…
Illinois has had a record-setting year of tornadoes that no state wants to experience.
As of late June, Illinois already has experienced 205 preliminary tornado reports, which is more than any other full year since records were first taken.
Notably, Illinois has had more than double the number of tornadoes of any other state thus far in 2026. Mississippi and Indiana are a distant second with 84 apiece.
This is insane.
At this stage, Illinois has “almost tripled the 30-year average number of tornadoes per year”…
Illinois state climatologist Trent Ford told Newsweek in an email that the number of tornadoes in the state has skyrocketed over the last four years, but even by those standards, this year has been extreme.
“2026 is by a wide margin the most severe weather active year we have since consistent records were taken in the late 1950s,” Ford said.
“We have smashed our previous tornado record by mid-June and almost tripled the 30-year average number of tornadoes per year in Illinois.”
I told you that this summer has been bonkers.
And the scary thing is that it has just started.
In the western half of the nation, drought is the biggest issue.
Right now, the entire state of Colorado is experiencing at least some level of drought…
A number of states are suffering from record drought, but none has suffered as much recently as Colorado. Drought at various levels covers the entire state, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. The worst levels of drought, called “exceptional drought” and “extreme drought,” cover 37%. According to Drought Monitor experts, exceptional drought is “the most severe classification of drought, indicating critical, widespread water shortages, massive agricultural and pasture losses, and the frequent implementation of emergency water restrictions.”
Large wildfires have started along the Colorado border with Utah. This has strained the state’s firefighting resources. This has become a larger problem across the country. There have been over 35,000 wildfires in the US this year, the National Interagency Fire Center reports. These have burned 3.1 million acres so far this year. Last year, at the same time, the acres burned totaled 1.8 million.
The “Super El Niño” is likely to make things even hotter and even drier in many of the areas that are already dealing with drought.
The founder of AccuWeather is warning that we could soon see a “mini-Dust Bowl” in our western states…
And even though El Niño could transition back to neutral later this year, some experts are increasingly focused on what could follow, warning that drought conditions in the Plains could persist for years after the pattern breaks down — and the possibility of a “mini Dust Bowl” scenario.
“If the long-term drought is as bad as it could be, and you are starting off already with severe drought, this raises the real possibility of a ‘mini-Dust Bowl,” said AccuWeather Founder and Executive Chair Joel N. Myers. “Soybeans will be stressed further in the months and years ahead, and yields on some of these crops will be reduced in parts of the country. If that happens, it will have a negative impact on food production, leading to price inflation. Furthermore, water supplies will be harmed, as well.”
Drought is afflicting other key agricultural areas all over the globe, and that is setting the stage for widespread famines.
Everything that I have shared in this article is really happening.
But a lot of people out there are just sticking their heads in the sand and pretending that everything is going to be okay somehow.
It is time to wake up and face reality, but much of the population simply won’t do that.

The AI Jobs Apocalypse Has Begun: We Are Witnessing an Unprecedented Wave of AI-Related Layoffs in 2026
by Michael Snyder
July 1, 2026Reading Time: 6 mins read
(The Economic Collapse Blog)—We all knew that this would be coming. In 2026, the rate of AI-related layoffs has greatly accelerated, and that means that large numbers of good paying jobs are suddenly disappearing from the economy. This is occurring when we are already facing one major crisis after another, and so the timing could not be worse. Many young people specifically chose a major in college that would prepare them for positions in the tech industry because those were supposed to be the jobs of the future. Unfortunately, the AI jobs apocalypse is wiping out those jobs the fastest.
Let me give you some cold, hard numbers that will clearly demonstrate what I am talking about.
According to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the number of announced job cuts in the United States last month was the highest that we have seen during the month of May since the peak of the last pandemic…
U.S.-based employers announced 97,006 job cuts in May, up 16% from the 83,387 job cuts recorded in April, and up 3% from the 93,816 announced in the same month last year, according to a report released Thursday from global outplacement and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
May’s total is the highest for the month since 2020, when 397,016 job cuts were recorded in May at the height of the pandemic. It also marks the third straight month that cuts have risen, climbing from 48,307 in February to 97,006 in May.
There is no way to spin those numbers to make them look good.
And for the third month in a row, artificial intelligence accounted for more layoffs than any other reason…
In May, Artificial Intelligence (AI) led all reasons for job cuts for the third month in a row, with 38,579 announced cuts. It is the highest monthly total ever recorded for the reason since Challenger began tracking it in 2023, and it accounted for 40% of all cuts announced in May — up from just 7% in January, 25% in March, and 26% in April. For the year, AI has been cited in 87,714 cuts, or 22% of all 2026 layoffs, already far surpassing the 54,836 attributed to the reason in all of 2025.
Read that last sentence again.
The number of AI-related layoffs in 2026 has already surpassed the grand total of AI-related layoffs for the entire year of 2025.
That is how fast things are now moving.
Needless to say, the tech industry is being hit the hardest.
At this point, tech layoffs are running 44 percent faster than last year…
So far this year, there have been an estimated 363 layoffs at tech companies this year, affecting nearly 150,000 people — a pace of about 974 people per day, 44% faster than last year — according to TrueUp, a tech job board and recruiting platform that also runs one of the most widely cited tech layoff trackers.
The trend appears to be accelerating. Tech layoffs hit their highest single month in two years last month, with nearly 40,000 cuts, and AI was the most-cited reason for layoffs across every industry for the third month running, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
There is no long-term loyalty in the tech industry anymore.
The moment that AI can do your work more efficiently than you can, you are in danger of being let go.
Some of you out there have personally experienced this.
During the past six months, we have seen some of the biggest names in tech radically transform their workforces…
Several major tech companies have announced significant workforce reductions this year while simultaneously ramping up investments in artificial intelligence.
Oracle disclosed recently that it has reduced its workforce by roughly 21,000 employees (4) over the past year. Meanwhile, Google has continued trimming staff (5) through performance reviews, buyout programs and reorganizations, with outside estimates suggesting between 1,500 and 3,000 engineering roles have been eliminated in 2026.
Meta also laid off roughly 8,000 employees earlier this year while shifting about 7,000 workers into AI-focused roles, highlighting how some companies are cutting jobs in certain areas while continuing to invest heavily in artificial intelligence.
This is just the beginning.
And it is going to spread to every industry.
If you can believe it, a major tobacco company just announced that it is planning to “cut about 20% of its workforce as it pursues an AI-driven overhaul”…
British American Tobacco (BATS.L), opens new tab plans to cut about 20% of its workforce as it pursues an AI-driven overhaul to lower costs and lift profits amid regulatory challenges and delayed launches.
The maker of Lucky Strike and Dunhill cigarettes said on Monday it would cut around 5,500 jobs and move roughly 3,500 roles to third-party firms, including Accenture . The restructuring would affect around 9,000 employees in total, but excludes the U.S., the company’s biggest market.
BitGo is another firm that is ruthlessly firing employees for AI-related reasons…
BitGo has joined the growing ranks of crypto firms slashing staff numbers as part of a pivot to AI.
The crypto custody and infrastructure company is cutting nearly 15% of its workforce, co-founder and CEO Mike Belshe said Thursday in a tweet that BitGo also filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
A lot of the workers that are hitting the bricks are relatively young.
In the past, it was fairly easy to find another tech industry job, but now that has completely changed.
In fact, it has become so difficult to find a tech job these days that many job seekers have resorted to “spraying and praying”…
To survive this nightmarish job market, candidates are now “spraying and praying,” as one career coach described it — or paying resume services to blast out thousands of CVs per day to game the system and land a gig. However, according to experts in the tech industry who spoke with SFGATE, this is only creating a vicious cycle of inefficiency that hurts both workers and companies.
According to a recent survey conducted by Robert Half, a Bay Area talent and business solutions firm, over 50% of hiring managers said that AI-generated resumes are “flooding the market,” making it difficult to weed out candidates who are actually qualified for roles. To combat this torrent of resumes, 33% of hiring managers are now using AI-detection tools and spending more time training employees on how to spot ones that feel authentic.
“Many hiring managers tell us it’s becoming harder to distinguish between applicants because AI-generated resumes often use similar language, formatting and keywords,” Terah Brossart Daniels, a technology jobs expert with Robert Half, said. “Another issue is authenticity. A resume may look impressive on paper, but employers are spending more time validating whether a candidate’s experience, accomplishments and technical skills hold up throughout the interview process.”
If conditions are this bad now, what will the employment market look like once things really start falling apart in this country?
We were promised that AI would unleash a new golden age of peace and prosperity for our society.
Obviously that is not what is actually happening.
AI technology will continue to advance at an exponential rate, and soon millions more human workers will become obsolete.
This story is not going to end well, but most of you have already figured that out.

Blood-red skies appear over Venezuela days after deadly earthquakes sparking fears of a biblical omen
By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 10:11 EDT, 1 July 2026 | Updated: 10:53 EDT, 1 July 2026
The skies over parts of Venezuela have turned a sinister blood-red just days after the region endured back-to-back deadly earthquakes.
Videos and photos taken from Caracas on June 30 captured the ominous scene, showing a sky glowing an intense crimson red as the sun dipped below the horizon.
Social media users questioned if the colored sky was linked to the deadly earthquake that had recently struck the region.
The timing sparked theories ranging from mysterious 'earthquake lights' to biblical signs, as many likened it to Joel 2:30-31, which describes the 'Day of the Lord', which is a time of God's coming judgment and power.
'And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes,' read the verses.
However, experts said the dramatic display was caused by much more ordinary phenomena.
The deep red glow, known in Venezuela as a candilazo, occurs when sunlight interacts with particles in the atmosphere under specific conditions, producing a fiery sunset.
There is also a significant Saharan dust plume crossing the Atlantic into the Caribbean and northern South America, which can also turn the sky red, especially during sunrises and sunsets.
Experts stressed that while the recent seismic disaster may have heightened fears and fueled speculation, the blood-red skies were the result of a well-understood atmospheric event and not evidence of earthquake-related activity or a biblical omen.
Videos and photos of Caracas have flooded social media, where many users appeared concerned for the region.
'This is beyond unsettling. What is happening in Venezuela?' one X user shared.
Others are sure the blood red was a sign from God, as another X user posted: 'Repent. Jesus is near.'
Several Bible passages have long been associated with unusual events in the sky.
The most frequently cited is Joel 2:31, with the prophecy being repeated in the New Testament in Acts 2:20, where the Apostle Peter declares: 'The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.'
Another often-referenced verse, Revelation 6:12, describes apocalyptic signs in the heavens, saying, 'The sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.'
Over the years, these passages have led some Christians to interpret blood moons, deep red sunsets, unusual auroras and smoke-filled skies as possible signs of the approaching end times or Christ's return.
However, biblical scholars and scientists generally caution against linking specific natural phenomena to prophecy.
In the case of Venezuela's crimson sky, atmospheric experts said the event was a candilazo and the massive Saharan dust plume that traveled across the Atlantic from Africa.
Atmospheric experts said the crimson sky was caused by a candilazo, a phenomenon that occurs when sunlight passes through large amounts of dust and other tiny particles in the atmosphere.
The massive Saharan dust plume also filled the air with microscopic particles that scattered shorter blue and green wavelengths of light, allowing the longer red and orange wavelengths to dominate the sky.
As the sun sank lower on the horizon, its light had to travel through an even thicker layer of dust-filled atmosphere, intensifying the fiery red hues and creating the dramatic blood-red sunset seen across Venezuela.
The sinister scene followed major earthquakes that hit Venezuela on June 24, when 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude quakes hit back-to-back.
Some 774 buildings were badly damaged in the back-to-back quakes that struck on Wednesday evening, including 189 buildings that have totally collapsed, National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez said on Sunday.
Officials said on Wednesday that the death toll has climbed to 1,943, but many more people are still missing.

Twenty-four hours after IDF forces destroyed Hezbollah’s underground compound in Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon, Yossi Yehoshua, i24NEWS’ sister Hebrew channel’s military commentator and Yedioth Ahronoth military commentator, revealed that a warning to act against the site had already been issued at the beginning of the war. During Operation “Northern Arrows,” officers in the 36th Division recommended dealing with the compound, which was considered one of the main strategic assets that Iran built for Hezbollah near the border, and according to assessments, was intended to serve as a central base for the terror group's UAV network.
However, at that time, the Air Force Intelligence Division assessed that the compound was not active and that there were no weapons in it. As a result, the 36th Division was not tasked with taking control of the area, even though its forces operated nearby.
Only recently, with the advancement of the forces in the area, the decision was made to carry out a ground operation. When the Yahalom combat engineering unit entered the compound, it became clear that the reality was completely different from the initial assessments: instead, a giant tunnel system was discovered, along with command rooms, weapons storage facilities, dozens of Iranian-made drones, and a large quantity of ammunition.

At a depth of about 30 meters and with a lot of weapons: the giant tunnel that the IDF located in Lebanon, which was used as a site for assembling UAVsTsahal
The defense establishment defined the findings discovered at the compound as "pure gold" from an intelligence perspective. Some of the UAVs and weaponry were transferred to Israel for further examination, and the defense establishment estimates that they may provide significant information about Iranian UAV technologies, Hezbollah's operational methods, and the operational connection between Tehran and the organization.

Erdogan Pushes for Turkey’s Full Role in European Defense as Tensions With Israel Deepen

Turkish president says Ankara must be included in Europe’s defense architecture ahead of NATO summit
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief
(Worthy News) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is pressing for Turkey’s full integration into Europe’s defense and security framework, arguing that Ankara’s military strength and NATO role make it indispensable to the continent’s future security.
Speaking to parliamentarians from NATO’s 32 member states gathered in Istanbul, Erdogan said Turkey wants a seat at the table in every major European defense initiative.
“As one of the countries contributing to the development of NATO’s European pillar, we want to take part in all defense and security initiatives in Europe,” Erdogan said.
His remarks come ahead of a key NATO summit, as Europe races to strengthen its defense capabilities amid war, regional instability, migration pressures, terrorism threats, and growing concern over the alliance’s long-term burden-sharing.
Erdogan also urged lawmakers to support Turkey’s participation in European Union defense projects, despite Ankara’s long-stalled effort to join the EU. Turkey remains a NATO member but not an EU member, placing it in a complicated position as Europe debates how much influence non-EU NATO states should have over the continent’s emerging defense architecture.
The Turkish leader also called for closer cooperation among NATO allies in the defense industry, warning that trade restrictions and export controls between member states weaken the alliance’s military effectiveness.
“If we are to overcome the challenges we face, we must remove barriers to defense industry trade while ensuring a balanced and fair sharing of responsibilities among allies,” Erdogan said.
His appeal comes as NATO leaders prepare to address defense spending, weapons production, Ukraine, Middle East instability, and the future of Europe’s security posture.
Turkey’s Strategic Weight Inside NATO
Turkey has long occupied one of NATO’s most strategically sensitive positions, bordering the Middle East, the Black Sea, the Caucasus, and southeastern Europe. Its military is one of the largest in the alliance, and Ankara has often argued that Europe cannot build a serious security system while keeping Turkey on the margins.
Still, Turkey’s relationship with Western allies has been strained by disputes over defense purchases, human rights concerns, Ankara’s foreign policy posture, and its acquisition of Russia’s S-400 missile defense system, which led to Turkey’s removal from the F-35 fighter program.
Erdogan’s latest remarks reflect a broader effort to restore Turkey’s influence inside the Western security order while maintaining Ankara’s independent regional ambitions.
Turkey and Israel: From Strategic Partners to Bitter Rivals
Turkey’s push for a larger defense role also comes as relations between Ankara and Jerusalem remain deeply strained.
For decades, Turkey and Israel maintained significant military, intelligence, and economic ties. During the 1990s, the two countries cooperated closely, with Turkey seeing Israel as a valuable regional partner and Israel viewing Turkey as a rare Muslim-majority ally.
That relationship began deteriorating under Erdogan’s rule, especially after the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, when Israeli commandos intercepted a Gaza-bound flotilla and several Turkish activists were killed. Diplomatic ties were downgraded and did not fully recover for years.
A fragile reset emerged in 2022, when Israel and Turkey restored full diplomatic relations after years of U.S.-backed mediation. But that thaw collapsed after the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel and the subsequent Gaza war. Erdogan became one of Israel’s fiercest critics, accusing Jerusalem of war crimes and repeatedly defending Hamas as a political movement rather than treating it as a terrorist organization.
Turkey imposed export restrictions on Israel in April 2024 and halted direct trade the following month, saying the measures would continue until humanitarian conditions in Gaza changed. The decision marked one of the sharpest economic ruptures between the two countries in modern history.
By 2025, Ankara had expanded pressure on Israel, including restrictions tied to airspace, ports, and military-related cargo, while Israeli officials accused Erdogan of aligning himself with hostile anti-Israel forces in the region. The two countries have also clashed over Syria, Lebanon, Hamas, and Iran’s regional influence.
erdogan netanyahu worthy christian news turkey israel
The result is a relationship that has moved from uneasy partnership to open hostility, even as both nations remain major regional powers whose actions directly affect the balance of the Middle East.
Trump Says He Stopped Turkey From Entering Iran War
Erdogan’s comments also come amid renewed attention on Turkey’s role during the recent U.S.-Israel confrontation with Iran. President Donald Trump has claimed that he personally stopped Turkey from entering the war against the United States, a statement that underscores how volatile the regional battlefield has become.
While Turkey has not directly entered the conflict, Ankara has consistently sought to position itself as a regional power broker — criticizing Israel, engaging with NATO, maintaining channels with Russia and Iran, and pressing for a larger role in European defense planning.
That balancing act has made Turkey both valuable and unpredictable to Western allies.
Prophetic Watch: Turkey, Gog and Magog
For many Bible prophecy watchers, Turkey’s rising military profile, its growing hostility toward Israel, and its desire to shape the future of Europe and the Middle East carry prophetic significance.
Ezekiel 38–39 describes a future coalition that comes against Israel in the latter days, led by “Gog” of the land of Magog. The prophecy names several ancient peoples and regions, including Gomer and Togarmah, which many scholars and prophecy teachers have historically associated with areas in or near modern-day Turkey.
Worthy News does not set dates or claim that every diplomatic development is a direct fulfillment of prophecy. Still, Turkey’s shifting posture is worth watching. A NATO member that once had strong ties with Israel is now increasingly hostile toward Jerusalem, deeply involved in regional power politics, and seeking a larger role in Europe’s defense structure.
For believers, the issue is not fear but discernment. Scripture calls us to watch, pray, and remember that the God of Israel is neither surprised by the movements of nations nor shaken by the ambitions of rulers.
As the prophet Ezekiel declared, the nations may gather, but the Lord will ultimately make His name known in the sight of many nations.

By
Breanna ClaussenJune 29, 2026
While the world’s attention is fixed on the Iranian regime, another nation with leadership just as wicked and bent on the destruction of Israel is flying largely under the radar of scrutiny.
Turkey, a member of NATO, has a vast track record of antisemitism—praising the Iranian proxy-led massacre on October 7th, hosting Hamas terrorists, threatening to invade the Jewish State, and even publicly expressing the desire to acquire nuclear weapons. Some Military experts have gone so far as to brand the nation “the new Iran,” expressing concerns over Turkish President Erdogan’s thirst for power and radical anti-Israel rhetoric.
Turkey’s interior minister recently sparked criticism for promising to “liberate” Jerusalem from Israel.
“Just as in the past, those lands will be ours once again. Allah willing, they will come under our sovereignty and dominion once more,” he vowed, referring to the control held under the fallen Ottoman Empire, “because we have a global leader like [Turkish President] Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at our helm. A world leader.”
Netanyahu, earlier this month, called Erdogan an “antisemitic dictator,” highlighting his support for terrorism, genocide against minorities, and brutal actions against dissenting voices within Turkey.
On Wednesday, President Trump took a mixed position, stating that he had thwarted Turkish plans to join Iran in attacking Israel during the war, while simultaneously praising Erdogan as a “great leader” and signaling the upcoming approval to sell F-35 fighter jets to the nation—a sale that was previously barred due to Turkey’s purchase of Russia’s S-400 air defense system in 2019.
The danger posed by Turkey is not theoretical to those who hold a Biblical worldview. Through the book of Ezekiel, chapters 38-39, we know that when the leadership in Turkey threatens to invade the Jewish State, we should take them at their word. The prophet Ezekiel details an alliance already vividly formed in our world today, comprised of Turkey, Iran, Russia, and others. God’s Word states that this dark coalition will wage a future attack on the modern state of Israel, attempting an invasion from the north.
While this attack has not yet occurred, the shifting pieces are moving into place, just as God’s Word described, leaping from today’s headlines in astonishing fashion. A mutual hunger for regional control and hatred of Israel continues to tighten the cooperation between Turkey, Iran, and Russia—with two of the three openly stating their intention to wipe Israel off the map.
Another facet of Ezekiel 38-39 worth noting is Israel’s isolation during the future attack. The chapters speak of the nation of Israel standing alone on the world scene, with even the United States neglecting to come to Israel’s defense. While President Trump has taken extraordinary steps in favor of Israel in his first and second terms, recent tensions surrounding Iran and the growing anti-Israel positions gaining traction in America suggest that the US-Israel relationship may be on the brink of waning.
While we don’t know all the elements that will ultimately bring about the precise circumstances of this Ezekiel war, we do know as Christians that it is not all bad news. Will bad actors become further emboldened? Yes. Will Israel stand against an army with no friends to come to her aid? Yes. But that is not the end of the story.
In an awe-inspiring turn of events, Ezekiel 38-39 describes the shattering defeat of Turkey, Iran, and Russia, not as a result of Israel’s military might, but by the direct and spectacular intervention of God. In that day, not only will God’s chosen people be rescued, but the “eyes of many nations” will recognize that these were the actions of almighty God (Ezekiel 38:23).

Venezuela rocked by strongest earthquakes in over a century, as USGS fears up to 100K deaths — Trump vows US is ‘ready, willing, and able to help’
By Zoe Hussain
Published June 24, 2026
Updated June 25, 2026, 6:53 a.m. ETVenezuela was rocked Wednesday afternoon by its strongest earthquakes in over a century — causing widespread destruction with fears of as many as 100,000 casualties.
A magnitude-7.2 quake struck roughly 100 miles west of Caracas, followed just 39 seconds later by an even bigger 7.5-magnitude temblor, according to the US Geological Survey.
“High casualties and extensive damage are probable, and the disaster is likely widespread,” the USGS warned — estimating that the death toll could climb to at least 10,000, and potentially 100,000.
As of early Thursday, at least 164 people had been confirmed killed and almost 1,000 others injured, acting President Delcy Rodriguez said.
Chaotic footage posted to social media captured terrified people scrambling to safety and shielding their families as ceiling panels collapsed and sparks flew at Maiquetia International Airport.
Videos also showed baseball players and onlookers running into the field during a game in Caracas as the quake hit, shaking power lines and stadium seats.
Emergency responders were forced to climb through the ruins of collapsed buildings as distraught residents searched for their loved ones into Wednesday evening.
Many buildings, including in Caracas, appeared to be destroyed or significantly damaged. Furniture and rubble were piled on the streets as homeowners stood outside in shock.
“When we went downstairs, the scene was like a horror movie,” said one local resident, Maria Alejandra.
“We had to climb over the rubble and everything. The building superintendent with the baby and all the neighbors coming down. But from that building, I only saw that one family got out.”
Caracas resident Martha A
ñez told CNN that she “leaned out onto the balcony, screaming, ‘We’re trapped! We need help! Please, someone come!’”With the major quakes being so close together, “it felt endless,” she said.
The massive geological event occurred as many Venezuelans were at home celebrating Battle of Carabobo Day, a public holiday marking the 1821 victory that helped secure the country’s independence from Spain.
“As soon as it started, we began hearing people screaming,” said Astrid Ramirez, a 41-year-old publicist in western Caracas. “Everyone was running down the stairs.”
Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said the earthquake shook several states.
“We understand that some people may be desperate, but we are acting according to protocols to activate aid and rescue efforts to help those who need it most,” Cabello said on state television. “Be very careful with children and the elderly; call each other and check that no one has been harmed.”
President Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday night to say the US is willing to help the South American country with recovery efforts.
“The two major earthquakes that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale and have left a devastating number of deaths,” Trump wrote.
“The U.S.A. stands ready, willing, and able to help! I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new and great friends. Early reports are not good!!! President DJT.”
Rodriguez thanked Trump and the US, “who have been in constant contact with the Venezuelan authorities, providing support and solidarity to the people of Venezuela in the face of the tragedy that grips us.”
“Venezuela will never forget the hand extended to our people in these hard hours,” Rodriguez said.
In January, the US launched a barrage of strikes in Venezuela, culminating in the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores de Maduro.
The pair was brought to the US and jailed.
Rescue workers search through the rubble of a collapsed building after an earthquake.
The Maduros sent a message of solidarity while locked up in federal custody in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, CNN reported.
“Today, there is only one message: maximum unity, maximum solidarity, and maximum action,” the message posted on Maduro’s official Telegram channel read.
“Let no one be left alone, let each community take care of their children, their grandparents, their sick,” said the statement on behalf of the couple, who face drug trafficking and weapons charges.
“Venezuela has faced great trials, and we will come out of this one strong too, with faith, discipline, and solidarity.”
The US Tsunami Warning System issued a tsunami threat for Puerto Rico and the US and British Virgin Islands after the quakes.
But the warning was withdrawn about an hour later.
The quakes are among the strongest to strike Venezuela in more than a century.
The nation lies in a seismically active zone, where the Caribbean Plate meets the South American Plate.
Roughly 30,000 people were killed when an earthquake destroyed much of Merida and Caracas in March 1812, according to the USGS.

Team Trump is exposing billions in fraud — even as Democrats keep actively encouraging it
By Post Editorial Board
Published June 25, 2026, 6:30 a.m. ET
Team Trump’s fraud crackdown is turning up billions in stolen taxpayer money, even as Democrats do their best to ignore, deny and even enable it.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s announcement Tuesday of a massive takedown — 455 perps collared across nearly every US state and territory — roped in a whopping $6.5 billion in scams.
The operation marked “the greatest combined federal and state effort combating health-care fraud in history,” Blanche noted.
Individual brazen crooks in these jaw-dropping cases siphoned millions meant for people truly in need, and spent it on luxury items for themselves: an $865,000 Bulgari necklace, a $594,000 Ferrari and — get this — a $4.6 million Philippines beach resort.
It wasn’t just taxpayers who got hurt:
A student actually died during basketball practice after a doctor involved in an $89 million fraud scheme OK’d the kid’s cardiac test based on just a cursory look, even though it contained “unconfirmed interpretations noting potential cardiovascular abnormalities,” the Department of Justice charged.
A nurse practitioner fraudulently billed Medicare for medical services, including the application of “unnecessary and expensive wound allografts” never applied or dangerously applied to infected sites, per DOJ.
One case alone involved a stunning $3.76 billion in bogus charges: Ibrahim Hilmi of Miami allegedly billed for medical equipment and wound dressings that he never provided.
Fortunately, the government paid only $5.7 million of that amount. But within weeks, that cash allegedly got transferred to Hong Kong and Indonesia as Hilmi fled the country.
In another huge case, the feds charged Marizel Yukee of Las Vegas with illegally billing $906 million in claims, netting a cool $297 million (more than a quarter-billion!) and using the funds to buy real estate, including that Philippines beach resort.
Americans, whatever their political party, should be livid at such blatant thievery.
Instead, Democrats oppose anti-fraud rules, such as those in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, claiming they cost folks their health care — as if it’s wrong to do any checks about whether a transaction is a scam if it means one patient who could legally qualify has to wait to finish the paperwork.
Dems also slam the Trump fraud crackdown as a political hit job targeting primarily blue states and cities.
Of course, those places are the ones that provide most government-subsidized health care and other social services, so most fraud will happen there — especially since Dems are against policing social-service programs. (Plus, this operation exposed “targets” spanning the entire country.)
Worst of all, some Democrats appear to be abetting fraud outright: Vice President JD Vance, for example, wants DOJ to probe, and possibly prosecute, Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and others based on evidence Minnesota’s top state officials ordered local authorities to “stop looking into” fraud for fear of being labeled “racist or Islamophobic.”
Worse, that state’s Department of Human Services actually probed the very people warning about the abuses.
Democrats never stop pushing to spend more on aid for the needy, particularly when it comes to health care.
Yet fraud leaves less cash available for the folks they claim to champion; if Dems truly cared about these people, they’d be the ones screaming loudest about the scams.

Emma Yates-Badley10 hours ago
Airport
Venezuela earthquake
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
Venezuela has been struck by two devastating earthquakes which saw terrified passengers at Simon Bolivar International Airport (CCS) near Caracas run for cover.
On June 24, 2026, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the first earthquake struck Venezuela at 18:04, local time, at a magnitude of 7.2, followed 39 seconds later by a larger 7.5 mainshock.
Interim President Delcy Rodr
íguez declared a state of emergency throughout the country and stated that so far 32 people have died during the disaster with hundreds more injured.The United States Geological Survey has estimated that there is an above 50% chance that more than 10,000 people may have died.
The agency also concluded that the 7.5 earthquake struck southeast of Yumare in Venezuela and warned there is a risk of aftershocks resulting in potentially strong shaking.
President Rodríguez confirmed Simon Bolivar International Airport has been closed due to severe damage to its infrastructure.
Video footage shared on social media following the earthquakes showed airport building shaking under the earthquake force as the ceiling began to collapse, and people pulling suitcases tried to flee.
American Airlines issues travel alert
American Airlines, Avianca, Wingo and LATAM Airlines are just some of the carriers that are due to land or depart the airport on June 25, 2026.
American Airlines told passengers traveling to or from Venezuela and scheduled to travel June 25, 2026, will have their change fee waived.
In a statement LATAM Airlines Colombia said it “expresses its solidarity with the people, families, and communities affected by the strong earthquake recorded”.
“In LATAM Colombia, we understand the uncertainty and concern that an emergency like this can generate for our passengers and their families. For this reason, we have activated flexible alternatives that allow them to reorganize their trips with greater peace of mind during this difficult moment,” Erika Zarante, CEO of LATAM Airlines Colombia, added.
President Rodríguez holds press conference
In an address to the nation, President Rodríguez said that she asks the “population to remain calm and united”.
“We have officially implemented a national state of emergency to streamline rescue resources,” President Rodríguez said.
The Ministry of Communications said that President Rodríguez announced the activation of a “General Staff”, composed of the Sectoral Vice Presidents Diosdado Cabello, Juan José Ramírez, Héctor Rodríguez, and Calixto Ortega.
“We have activated the entire public and private health network of the country, I want to ask the doctors, nurses, and all health personnel as a whole to report to their workplaces,” President Rodríguez added.
World leaders react to earthquake
World leaders have offered their condolences to Venezuela and offered their country’s support during relief efforts.
In a social media post, US President Donald Trump wrote: “The two major earthquakes that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale and have left a devastating number of deaths. The USA stands ready, willing, and able to help! I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new good friends.”
President Rodríguez said she also held a phone call with the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who “expressed his solidarity and support toward the Venezuelan people in these difficult moments for our nation”.

Magnitude 5.6 earthquake rattles Northern California
by: Marc Sternfield
Posted: Jun 24, 2026 / 08:26 AM PDT Updated: Jun 24, 2026 / 02:38 PM PDT
An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.6 rattled Northern California Wednesday morning, causing minor damage and shaking homes across a wide swath of the state.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake struck at 8:10 a.m. with an epicenter in Redwood Valley in inland Mendocino County, about 50 miles east of Mendocino and 120 miles north of San Francisco, at a depth of 8 kilometers. An aftershock measuring 2.5 shook there area roughly seven minutes later.
One resident of Lake County who felt the quake told KTLA sister station KRON4 that it lasted around seven seconds. Another resident said the quake was strong enough to knock items off the shelf at Mendocino County Ukiah Valley Hospital, where his daughter works, and a photo showed shattered wine bottles at a grocery store in Upper Lake.
In a statement, Mendocino County officials said some injuries were reported, but no deaths.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said it was briefed on the quake and was working with local first responders.
“The Governor’s Office is closely coordinating with emergency officials and assessing potential impacts and damage,” Newsom’s office said.
There were no immediate reports of serious damage in that sparsely populated area of the state.
Thousands of earthquakes are recorded in California each year, but the vast majority are extremely minor. Several hundred reach a magnitude of 3.0, and only about 15 to 20 reach a magnitude of 4.0 or greater, according to the USGS.
In North America, only Alaska records more
quakes per year than California.Use controls or your thumb to move and zoom.
What to do in an earthquake
During an earthquake, knowing the proper steps to protect yourself and minimize injury is crucial. The California Department of Public Health provides detailed guidelines on what to do during such events. Here are the key points:
Drop: Immediately drop down onto your hands and knees. This position prevents you from being knocked over and allows you to stay low and crawl to safety if necessary.
Cover: Use one arm to protect your head and neck, and, if possible, take shelter under a sturdy table or desk. If no shelter is available, get down next to an interior wall away from windows. Stay on your knees and bend over to protect vital organs.
Hold On: Hold onto your shelter until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with it if it shifts.

France is reporting it's first case of EBOLA!
Hal Turner World June 24, 2026 Hits: 13664
France on Wednesday announced its first confirmed case of Ebola identified on its territory, a doctor who had returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The health ministry said the patient has a "very low" viral load and that contacts are "currently being identified."
The case is the first of the deadly haemorrhagic fever identified outside the African continent during the current outbreak, which has also affected Uganda.
It's also the first time Ebola has been detected in France.
In 2014, during a major outbreak in West Africa, two patients were transported to France, but they had been diagnosed abroad.
The health ministry "confirms today the identification of a first positive case of Ebola virus disease on national territory", said a statement.
The ministry specified that the case had been identified in mainland France.
The doctor was isolated on arrival in France, even before the disease was officially identified, the ministry added.

DETROIT, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Pride Month is marketed as a celebration of inclusion and self-expression. But one Detroit Tigers fan learned those principles may come with an asterisk: certain viewpoints are tolerated, while others can get you escorted out of Comerica Park.
According to a report from New Media Detroit, a woman who is now identified as Paige Combs-Morgan says she was escorted from a Tigers game over wearing a shirt that read “Jesus Over Pride.”

Combs-Morgan wasn’t waving signs, throwing food, or yelling at fans. Instead, she says she was attending the game with relatives while wearing a shirt with three words on it: Jesus Over Pride. According to her account, multiple stadium
employees and police officers eventually became involved in removing her from the ballpark.The view from behind home plate.
Combs-Morgan told New Media Detroit she wore the shirt as a quiet expression of her Christian faith. She said she became concerned by debates surrounding Pride Month events in Major League Baseball and the treatment of players who publicly expressed their religious beliefs. In the interview, she shared, “That’s where I found it an issue because we should make sure that we’re expressing our faith.” Combs-Morgan maintains that fans have the right to express their views peacefully and says she should have been permitted to wear the shirt throughout the game.
What do the Detroit Tigers say about it?
However, according to a report from the Detroit News, the team had a different take on what happened. They said in a statement, “We received several complaints from fans seated behind home plate during Friday’s game, who reported another fan’s behavior as being disruptive to their ballpark experience. The behavior included frequent walks and poses across the front row of seats in camera- visible areas, obstructing others from being able to watch the game.”
The statement goes on to say, “Our staff warned the fan that she would be ejected if the behavior continued, as it violated our fan code of conduct. She was later escorted from the ballpark because the behavior persisted, and not because of her attire.” They explained their fan code of contact is available online and that “one of the first expectations listed being that guests should refrain from any action that disrupts other guests’ enjoyment of the game.”

Despite the statement, Combs-Morgan says she was told by several park employees that it was her shirt was offending people. She disagreed. That is why during the sixth inning, she posed for the cameras and held out her arms to show off her shirt. After that, she left to get a drink and police officers and Comerica Park employees approached her.
What are the rules?
According to Comerica Park’s code of conduct rules, guests may be removed for obscene, vulgar, abusive, threatening, or discriminatory behavior, displaying obscene or indecent messages, disrupting the enjoyment of other fans, or refusing reasonable requests from stadium personnel. The policy also contains a broad catch-all provision stating that “Ilitch Sports + Entertainment reserves the right to prohibit anything deemed inappropriate.”
Will it end here?
Combs-Morgan says she won’t be doing anything further about her removal from the stadium. She said, “I’m not going to file a lawsuit, and I’m making this a big civil rights thing. Jesus wouldn’t seek money, and I’m not seeking money either. But I do plan on wearing that shirt again. Maybe not to that venue, but I’ll keep wearing it, because I have a right to get this message out, too.”

After Trump posted that the Strait of Hormuz is "completely open" the IRGC shot a Singapore-flagged cargo ship on it.
The Ever Lovely. The bridge damaged, but no casualties.
Iran just put a hole in a commercial vessel days into a deal that was supposed to guarantee safe passage, while Trump is publicly declaring everything was fine, and US officials are now describing it as an "early test of the deal's durability."
That's one way to put it.
An unknown projectile slammed into its starboard side, the right flank, roughly 7.5 nautical miles southeast of Oman's Dahit.
The blow landed on the bridge, the part of the ship the crew steers from, which is about as bad a spot to take

Iran drones hit Bahrain as tanker attack rocks Strait of Hormuz
Iran launched drones at Bahrain and a tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. The incidents signalled renewed Gulf escalation despite a tentative US-Iran understanding.
India Today World Desk
Dubai,UPDATED: Jun 27, 2026 16:18 IST
Iran launched a drone attack targeting Bahrain and a ship in the Strait of Hormuz separately came under attack on Saturday, in what appeared to be Tehran's response to overnight US airstrikes. The incidents across the Persian Gulf highlighted the risk of the conflict spiralling again, even after Iran and the US reached an interim deal aimed at securing a final accord to end the war.
The US airstrikes had followed an Iranian drone attack on a ship trying to leave the strait on Thursday, part of a series of attacks that have shaken the uneasy ceasefire. Separately, a multinational maritime body overseen by the US Navy said on Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman's shores in the strait to allow both inbound and outbound traffic, a move likely to open up a fresh point of tension with Tehran.

New US-Iran Lebanon oversight body excludes Israel, gives Tehran say over IDF actions - editorial
A joint statement released by the mediating countries, Qatar and Pakistan, announced the creation of a deconfliction mechanism for Lebanon.
By
J POST EDITORIAL JUNE 24, 2026 05:59As additional details emerge from the talks that took place between the US and Iran in Switzerland, they reveal the dire predicament that Israel is getting mired in.
A joint statement released by the mediating countries, Qatar and Pakistan, announced the creation of a deconfliction mechanism for Lebanon. According to reports on N12, it would limit Israeli military action to only responding to “imminent threats,” rather than to the broader category of “emerging threats,” according to a Monday report.
The N12 report noted that the new arrangement would depart from a previous framework, established in November 2024, that included representatives from Israel, Lebanon, the United States, France, and the United Nations. The new oversight body would include the US, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, and Pakistan - but not Israel.
In essence, it’s creating an absurd reality that gives Iran - the nation bent on destroying Israel and fueling the Hezbollah holy war against the Jewish state - a senior role in determining whether Israel is violating the framework set up to defuse the war in Lebanon.
As such, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, predictably lauded the new mechanism, calling it a “major progress to end the Lebanon War.”
US VP JD Vance announces 'deconfliction mechanism,' says Israel part of talks
US Vice President JD Vance, when announcing the “deconfliction mechanism” in Burgenstock on Sunday, said that Israel would be part of the conversation. But without representation, Jerusalem is once again being shut out from vital decisions being made that affect the well-being of its citizens, a trend that has gained steam since the partnership with the US that launched the February 28 attack against Iran.
Naturally, Israel has lashed out at what’s taking place behind its back. President Isaac Herzog said on Monday that any negotiations to end the Israel-Lebanon conflict should be done by the two countries themselves and not by “Iranian extortion.”
Shortly after the N12 report aired, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a Hebrew-language statement stressing that Israeli troops in southern Lebanon have “full freedom of action” against both “direct or emerging threats” posed to them.
“The directive that the defense minister and I have given the IDF is clear and has not changed: Our forces in southern Lebanon have full freedom of action to thwart any direct or emerging threat against them or against residents of northern Israel. The IDF faces no restrictions in this regard,” Netanyahu said.
That view was reiterated on Tuesday in a joint statement issued by Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir.
Lebanon, Aoun unhappy with ceasefire implementation, oversight
Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun also seems none too pleased with the new mechanism.
As The Jerusalem Post’s Amichai Stein reported, although Aoun has publicly welcomed the initiative, senior Lebanese officials have privately questioned why the US is facilitating renewed Iranian influence in Lebanon after months of successfully reducing Tehran’s footprint there.
“We negotiate for ourselves, and we do not accept any other party doing so for us,” Aoun said on Monday, cautioning that although Beirut welcomes “any assistance that comes from any country to end the war,” it expects those countries to avoid “interfering in our internal affairs.”
The developments are taking place on Tuesday as Israeli and Lebanese delegations are meeting in Washington for another round of talks focused on the disarmament of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and continued discussions on the prospect of normalization between the two countries.
Lebanese officials expressed concern that Iran’s renewed role could encourage Hezbollah to refuse cooperation with any disarmament initiative. Signs of the group’s resistance are already evident in recent statements by senior Hezbollah officials, who now insist that Israel must complete a full withdrawal from Lebanese territory before the terror organization takes any steps toward disarmament.
Although we don’t know the full details about what’s being discussed between the US and Iran under the auspices of Pakistan and Qatar, nevertheless, agreements made in Switzerland that affect the lives of IDF soldiers serving in Lebanon and Israeli citizens suffering the brunt of Hezbollah attacks must be made with the involvement of Israel.
Why we have been shut out and whether we’re impotent to do anything about it are matters that need to be considered when Israelis go to the polls this fall.

Weaponized Wealth: Qatar Is Flooding the US with Cash to Buy Influence
Gary Lane
06-23-2026Qatar is a tiny desert nation, yet its people enjoy the Middle East's highest standard of living. Enormous oil and gas wealth also allows the country to buy influence around the globe, especially here in the United States.
Now, an explosive report examines how this money is being weaponized.
Direct from the Persian Gulf to elite universities, corporations, and powerful institutions — Qatari cash is flooding America.
Natalie Ecanow, a senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, has tracked this money trail, which goes back some 25 years.
"I spent over a year trying to trace as much of Qatar's money as I could in the United States, and the grand total that I came up with was $400 billion and change," she explained. "That's billion with a b."
Most of that money started flowing in 2010.
"In some cases, it's a clear play for influence. I would say that money the Qataris spend on lobbying, public relations, media, to a certain extent, education, all of that is buying influence to some degree," Ecanow said.
It turns out FDD found Qatari billions making their way into important places here in the U.S. — from our defense and energy industries to public schools and even American universities.

Gregg Roman, who heads up the Middle East Forum, worries about the depth of this influence. "They're essentially undermining American citizens' interests in our backyard," he said.
When it comes to defense, the monarchy hasn't been shy about spending big. They've dropped at least $30 billion on helicopters, missiles, drones, and F-15 fighter jets. Qatar even coordinates this from inside our country.
"Their state defense firm has a U.S. subsidiary in South Carolina. And it runs, what is essentially a drone research and development facility," Ecanow explained. "It's called Johns Island. And that's soaked up millions of dollars."
Qatar has poured billions into building up the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base, just southwest of Doha. As home to about 10,000 troops, this is where U.S. Central Command runs the show. Without this base, the American air campaign against Iran would have been a lot tougher. And that's just the start.
During the recent G-7 summit in Evian, France, the Qatari emir told President Trump he's proud of his country's investments in America. While thanking the emir, Trump announced that more Qatari cash will be coming.
"You fought, and you helped us, and with great bravery. So I just want to compliment you on that. And you'll always be my friend," Trump said. "Qatar is going to be investing much more than $1 trillion in the United States."
Over the past decade, Qatar has also pumped $25 billion into U.S. energy, with most of that money landing in oil-rich Texas. "Mostly in liquefied natural gas operations down there. And I believe one of the Qatari projects actually just came online in the last couple of months," Ecanow said.
She and Roman both point out that they consider Qatari donations to American universities especially troubling.
Why? Qatar openly supports the Muslim Brotherhood and has hosted the Taliban and Hamas, terrorists.
According to FDD, the Israeli government actually approved more than $1 billion in Qatari money sent to Hamas since 2012.
"The thinking was, if the Qataris could, you know, spend money on or subsidize, you know, civil service salaries and things like that in Gaza and stabilize, sort of like civilian life in the strip, that maybe, you know, Hamas would sort of moderate. That thinking obviously was proved wrong," Ecanow said.
Roman is pulling back the curtain on how and where this money can shape what happens at our universities.
"Start with Georgetown. Almost $1 billion from Qatar went to the university over 20 years. A son of the former Emir sits on its board. Qatar names the chairs. They pick the Fellows. Qatar is the number one foreign funder of American universities. It even surpassed China," he explained. "And then in 2025, it tripled its giving from under $400 million at one point to $2 billion in a single year."
Georgetown University says the money it receives from Qatar comes primarily from contracts to operate a satellite campus in Doha. The university is in full legal compliance with U.S. government reporting requirements and maintains full operational and academic autonomy.
Ecanow, however, believes all that Qatari money has made schools like Georgetown forget what they stand for.
"Last year, the president of Georgetown awarded the mother of the Qatari Emir. So that's the mother of the ruler of Qatar, awarded her what is essentially the highest honor that the president can give out. And what's interesting about this is that this particular woman, months prior to receiving the award, publicly eulogized YaYa Sinwar, who was Hamas's chief in Gaza, and one of the, if not the mastermind behind Hamas's October 7th terrorist attack."
Roman believes antisemitism on college campuses has something to do with Qatar funding.
"If you look at the universities that they have relationships with, whether it be Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, Cornell, Georgetown, or even Texas A&M, to a certain extent, which severed their relationship with the Qataris, these are hotbeds of antisemitism in America," he insisted. "There's a direct correlation between the levels of antisemitism on college campuses and how much Qatari money goes into those schools."
President Trump has praised Qatar as a resilient partner under pressure in the war with Iran. Before the fighting started, though, the two countries appeared pretty friendly. They also share good ties with American adversaries, Russia and China.
"It really boils down to what we'd like to describe as arsonist and firefighter. The Qataris are playing both. And so far, there's been very little accountability from the U.S. government for the more adversarial things that the Qataris engage in," said Ecanow.
FDD reports the Qataris have also spent $295 billion on public relations and lobbying the U.S. Congress.
"But I should note that all that activity is legal," Ecanow insisted. "There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that, a) there needs to be disclosure, and b) it can't prevent the U.S. government from holding Qatar accountable for the things that don't necessarily align with American priorities."

Lebanese Christians say Trump making a mistake
Lebanese Christian party chiefs urge America not to let Iran link its deal to Lebanon, noting that Tehran only cares about saving Hezbollah.
Ryan Jones Jun 23, 2026 at 2:55 pm
If Iran manages to convince America to directly link Lebanon to the emerging US-Iran peace deal, that will be seen by everyone in the Middle East as a clear victory for the Islamic Republic. That was the warning issued by the heads of Lebanon’s Christian political parties to US President Donald Trump.
Samy Gemayel, head of the Kataeb Party, told Lebanese media this week that there can be no peace in Lebanon “as long as the weapons of the militias [Hezbollah and other Shiite groups] are on our land.”
The problem, as Gemayel indirectly pointed out, is not Israel’s military operations or presence in southern Lebanon. Most Lebanese, and certainly its Christian population, known that Israel has no territorial designs on their country.
The problem is the presence of Iran-backed forces that the Lebanese government dares not confront directly. “We will not coexist with Hezbollah,” insisted Gemayel. “Whatever the result of the talks taking place outside Lebanon, we will not accept the existence of this militia.”
Lebanon’s time of suffering must come to an end, he stressed. And Gemayel said that suffering is the product of Iranian interference.
“The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran has nothing to do with Lebanon,” he added. “What Iran is trying to do through the agreement is to protect its people in Lebanon, not Lebanon.”
Samir Gagea, head of the Lebanese Christian Forces Party, wrote an open letter to US Vice President JD Vance on behalf of Christians in Lebanon, urging him to sever any connection between Iran and Lebanon in the ongoing US-Iran negotiations.
Gagea called on the US to strengthen the institutions of the Lebanese state, rather than facilitate Iran’s continued interference in Lebanese affairs.
Permitting Iran to continue to wield influence in Lebanon will render pointless the peace talks Washington is attempting to facilitate between Israel and Lebanon, and will perpetuate the conflict between the two neighbors. Hezbollah exists only as a tool of Iran’s quest to destroy Israel.

By
Tom Gilbreath June 23, 2026How strange it must be for a pastor to stand at a funeral and preach the reality of heaven — even though he mostly dismisses the book from which he preaches. What a terrible burden it must be for a man or woman to make himself or herself God’s judge — choosing which of God’s words should be kept and which should be discarded based on the shallow, always-changing moral fashions of the age. Millions of churchgoers are led by people who subordinate God’s Word to the whims of a sick culture.
To impose today’s political correctness on the Bible does violence not only to the Bible, but to human souls. One seminary student turned politician has made a name for himself in Texas saying that God is “nonbinary.” Yet in Matthew 6:9, Jesus taught us to pray, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.” After His resurrection, Jesus said to Mary Magdalene, “I ascend unto My Father, and your Father; and to My God, and your God.” To all but the most distorted minds, this means that Jesus — the One on whom Christians pin all our hope — proclaims God as Father — as male.
The same politician has announced that there are “six different genders.” He certainly doesn’t get that from the Bible. It says in Genesis 1:27, “Male and female created He them.” According to The New York Times, running in the Texas general election, he now regrets “the way he had articulated some of his progressive views on gender and race.” But he has reiterated that “The Bible is silent about abortion.” Really? Most Bibles include the Ten Commandments, including number six — “Thou shalt not kill.”
This is not about politics. I’m not telling anyone how to vote. If you vote regularly, you have almost certainly found yourself voting for the lesser of evils. So, you hold your nose and vote for one of the choices, even if it involves voting for someone with whom you have major differences. This is not about politics but about the state of the Church.
This week I talked to a 12-year-old neighbor who I know comes from a strong Christian family. I asked him what message he would give today’s Church. Without hesitation, he responded, “They need the Gospel.” Then he added, “The real Gospel.”
The real Gospel offers salvation from sin. Therefore, a fundamental part of “the real Gospel” is that we are sinners and we need a Savior. Large numbers of churches today advertise themselves as “affirming.” But the real Gospel does not “affirm” people in their sin. “I’m Okay, You’re Okay” does not lead to the cross. Jesus offers salvation from something dark and deadly — something people ignore at great personal peril. Jesus does not affirm you in your sins. He saves you from them.
Our value and meaning rest on the foundation of God’s truthfulness. So, to deny God’s Word also denies His benefits. When a Christian denies God’s Word, he undermines his own hope and meaning. If God says one thing and means the opposite, how can we trust Him on anything? But Psalm 19:7 says, “The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.”
Jesus said in Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” When the winds threaten, and the storm rages — when the earth quakes beneath our feet and seems to be breaking apart, we find security in the unchanging, everlasting Rock of Ages.

1 min readElectronic banking services have been severely disrupted after another cyberattack on several state banks in Iran, Iranian media outlets reported on Tuesday.
According to the reports, the three affected banks - Melli, Saderat and Tejarat - temporarily had to shut down their customers' card services nationwide, meaning online payments were not possible. This was intended to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of customers' assets, the IT department of the Banking Coordination Council said, according to the Shargh online news website.
Experts are currently working to restore operations as quickly as possible, it said. However, the council was unable to provide more detailed information. Private banks in the country are not affected by the attacks.
A cyberattack in mid-June disrupted four major state banks, with online payments and numerous cash machines in the capital Tehran stopping working.
Go deeper with Yahoo Scout
Who are the suspected perpetrators behind these cyberattacks?
"A silent war is unfolding and Iran is under cyberattack," the Iranian hacker group Black Wolves said on its Telegram channel at the time, claiming responsibility for the attack.
Back in 2022, during the women's protests, there was a major hack targeting Iran's central bank. The surveillance cameras of the notorious Evin prison in Tehran were also hacked. Published footage showed violent assaults by prison staff on political prisoners.
The hacker attacks are regarded as a form of digital protest against the Islamic system of government in Iran.

British "Storm Shadow" Missiles Used To Attack Russia; "NATO is Now Party to the Conflict"
Hal Turner World June 23, 2026 Hits: 29272
Yesterday, June 22, 2026, Britain and Ukraine carried out a historic attack upon Russia, with Ukraine firing British "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles deep into Russia, striking Voronezh. The date is also historic; it was 85 years ago yesterday, on June 22, 1941, that Germany launched "Operation Barbarosa," attacking the then-Soviet Union in World War 2.
The attack using British "Storm Shadow" and French "SCALP" missiles was authorized by British Prime Minister Kier Starmer before he RESIGNED as Prime Minister. This is, by far, the biggest escalation of the Ukraine-Russia war.
Both British Storm Shadows, and French SCALP missiles must be guided to target actively by US and NATO military satellites. Active guidance. That means the while Ukraine pulled the trigger, NATO member countries have now actively guided the attack inside Russia. NATO is now a "party to the conflict."
Russia President Vladimir Putin warned against this on television over a year ago. Here is that interview at the top of a split screen, with the results of the attack in Voronezh at the bottom half:
The target that was attacked was a Russia semiconductor factory.Putin clearly drew this as the biggest red line.
Putin earlier said (in video above) that if Ukraine were empowered to strike deep into Russia with Western weapons like Storm Shadow missiles, it would mean direct NATO participation and Russia would react appropriately.
To deep-strike with cruise missiles you need:
- Active Western satellite intelligence data
- NATO personnel to program the flight route and target of missiles within Russia
Hal Turner Analysis
Technically, for Russia to eliminate this threat, they would likely need to strike NATO bases.
What will Putin do? If he does retaliate against Britain and/or NATO Bases, we're in World War 3. If he doesn't, the West will just continue doing this to Russia. It is an impossible choice, but a choice Putin must make nonetheless.
My personal belief: I think Putin makes strikes. I think he will come out and say something like "I warned you - publicly and privately - that if NATO-Satellite-Guided missiles were used to strike Russia, then NATO would be a party to the conflict. You did it anyway. Now, suffer the result of your decision."
He may also say something like "Our strike will be limited to (insert target) and if you do not respond, we will consider the matter closed. But if you do respond, then it's all-out war."
I think he will strike. Right now, today, we stand at the threshold of literal World War 3.

Missouri Judge Strikes Down Laws Restricting Baby Murder
By Zachary Stieber, The Epoch Times • Jun. 23, 2026
(The Epoch Times)—Missouri laws restricting abortion are unconstitutionally vague and conflict with a constitutional amendment voters in the state approved in 2024, a county judge has ruled.
Jackson County Circuit Judge Jerri Zhang on June 18 ruled in favor of Planned Parenthood and other plaintiffs, finding that many of the restrictions “violate the Missouri Constitution … and may therefore not be enforced.”
That’s in part because of a constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2024 that said the government “shall not deny or infringe upon a person’s fundamental right to reproductive freedom, which is the right to make and carry out decisions about all matters relating to reproductive health care, including but not limited to prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion care, miscarriage care, and respectful birthing conditions.”
The amendment said that restrictions could be applied, but only if the government demonstrated they were “justified by a compelling governmental interest achieved by the least restrictive means.”
The violations, Zhang said, include restrictions that prohibit providing medication abortion absent a plan approved by the government that involves abortion providers committing to being available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to “personally treat all complications” from the abortions.
Planned Parenthood had not been providing medication abortions, deeming the rules too onerous. It had been providing regular abortions under preliminary injunctions that had previously been entered by the courts.
***Support The Liberty Daily and Mike Lindell -- use code TLD at MyPillow.com and get up to 66% off!***
The organization said on June 22 that it had resumed providing those abortions in the wake of the ruling.
“This decision brings compassion and common sense back to Missouri health care,” Emily Wales, president and CEO of Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, said in a statement.
“For too long, politicians forced patients to leave the state for an evidence-based and trusted form of abortion care. Now, that care is coming home and with it, we move closer to fulfilling the promise of reproductive freedom Missourians demanded.”
Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway criticized the development.
“This radical decision gives abortion providers a free pass to police themselves,” Hanaway said in a statement.
“Women are no longer entitled to the same level of care in an abortion clinic that they would receive in other healthcare settings: providers are no longer required to maintain complication plans or insurance, and the state cannot even conduct basic health and safety inspections to ensure patient safety.”
Hanaway said she would appeal the ruling to the Missouri Supreme Court.

Europe's heatwave meltdown: France shuts down nuclear reactor over fears 46C heat could cause disaster and 'heat dome' causes deaths across continent

By ELIANA SILVER, SENIOR FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER and PERKIN AMALARAJ, FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER
Published: 04:09 EDT, 23 June 2026 | Updated: 08:30 EDT, 23 June 2026
Europe is sweltering under a heat dome pushing temperatures in parts of the continent to 46C, as deaths rise and the risk of disaster grows.
The spike in temperatures is being driven by a mass of hot air moving north from the Sahara, fuelled by a strong high‑pressure system known as the 'African anticyclone.'
Meteorologists say the system is creating a so‑called 'heat dome,' trapping hot air over western and central Europe and allowing temperatures to build day after day.
In France, 40 people have tragically drowned while seeking reprieve from the heat since June 18 according to Sebastien Lecornu, the country's prime minister who added the deaths occurred 'mainly among young people.'
He will hold a crisis meeting today to discuss the extreme weather bringing the country to its knees.
The government's emergency response cell warned people not to try to cool off in unsupervised areas such as lakes and rivers after the drowning deaths at the weekend, which included a 13-year-old girl.
Similarly in Germany a spike in fatal swimming accidents saw five deaths over the weekend.
Two men aged 20 and 22 drowned in lakes in Bavaria, and a 79-year-old woman died in the Baltic Sea. Other fatal swimming accidents occurred in lakes in Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia.
And in the UK thunderstorms and torrential rain sparked widespread disruption across Britain today after some 3,000 lightning strikes hit London in just two hours.
A violent band of storms swept across southern England overnight bringing flash flooding, power cuts and travel disruption before Britain braces for what could become one of the hottest days ever recorded in the UK later this week.
The storms are expected to give way to soaring temperatures as the heat dome builds across western Europe, with forecasters warning Britain could experience its hottest June day on record.
The heatwave may have already proved deadly.
Yesterday two toddlers were tragically found dead in a car in France. The children, aged two and four, were found unconscious by their mother in the family car outside their home in Carpentras.
'The causes of death are yet to be determined, but the heatwave is the leading line of inquiry,' said Helene Mourges, the prosecutor in the town of Carpentras, where temperatures had been forecast to reach a maximum of 39C.
The day before, three elderly people died in their residence in Gironde in the southwest as a result of the high temperatures.
At the Pean nursing home for the retired in Paris, the staff have jumped into action to protect vulnerable residents, carrying around pitchers of water.
'It's not enough to put down a glass of water and tell them to drink. You have to be sure they actually do,' said head nurse Badra Hamadi.
The country's national weather agency said that it experienced its hottest night from Monday to Tuesday since measurements began in 1947.
The national temperature indicator - an average of readings from 30 stations across France - reached 21.6C, according to preliminary figures taken Tuesday morning. The previous record was 21.4C, set on July 25, 2019.
France has switched off a reactor at a nuclear plant near Toulouse because cooling water drawn from a nearby river had got too warm, a spokeswoman said.
The Golfech plant near Toulouse is cooled by the Garonne river but the water had warmed beyond the safe level of 28C.
Harsh temperatures are expected to linger until at least Thursday, with conditions possibly intensifying as the week continues. The European heat dome comes after a May that saw several countries report record temperatures for that time of year.
Weather bosses have put 49 of the 96 mainland departments on a red alert weather warning, up from 35 over the weekend.
Paris officials have warned people to avoid travel. 'The transport network comes under severe strain in periods of extreme heat... railways cannot withstand temperatures above 50 degrees,' the head of the Ile-de-France greater Paris region, Valerie Pecresse, told journalists.
'That is why we have advised all passengers who can to postpone their journeys, particularly vulnerable people, and for everyone who is able to work from home to do so.'
Business leaders said the economy was also taking a hit.
'France is running at a slow pace. Businesses, as far as possible, are implementing recommendations to protect their employees,' the head of France's MEDEF employers group, Patrick Martin, told BFM TV. In several places across Paris, shops had run out of electric fans amid surging demand.
Forecasters warned that scorching weather could end up being as serious as a 2003 heatwave that claimed the lives of nearly 15,000 people nationwide.
Over in Spain, where parts of the centre and northeast hit 40C, authorities issued a swathe of orange and red weather warnings across large parts of the Iberian Peninsula and Mallorca.
Spanish weather bosses said the country's heatwave would last until at least the middle of the week.
Nearly all of Spain was under a heat alert on Tuesday, with parts of the south and north of the country placed on the highest warning level as a heatwave grips most of western Europe.
National weather agency AEMET issued red alerts - a warning for 'extraordinary danger' - for areas around the southern city of Cordoba, the northern city of Bilbao and parts of the northern region of Cantabria.
Temperatures of up to 40C in the shade were forecast in parts of the Basque Country on the border with France, an area where such extreme heat is relatively uncommon.
Large swathes of central and northern Spain were placed under orange alerts - the second-highest level- while most of the remainder of the country was covered by yellow warnings. Only areas on the coastline escaped heat alerts.
In Barcelona, where temperatures have been rising without hitting the extremes seen elsewhere in the country, 76-year-old Jose Farre was forced to take advantage of the cooler early hours to do his shopping in the Catalan capital.
'I have a heart condition, I'm diabetic and I feel it a lot,' he said, explaining that the rising temperatures have made it harder for him to sleep and even breathe.
'We've gained several degrees between my youth and today... But what bothers you the most is the humidity,' he insisted. Fears of wildfires and other incidents have also seen restrictions on Tuesday's celebrations for Catalonia's traditional feast day of Saint John, usually marked with fireworks and bonfires.
The authorities have called for extreme caution and have imposed a ban on setting off firecrackers or throwing flaming objects within 1,640 feet of a forest.
They also advised residents and visitors to take precautions during the heatwave, including drinking water regularly, staying in cool environments, limiting outdoor physical activity during the hottest hours of the day and taking extra care of vulnerable people.
In Germany, where temperatures have already reached as high as 38C, the DWD weather service warned of severe thunderstorms in eastern regions including Berlin, where heavy rain disrupted the open‑air F
ête de la Musique festival.Organisers had to evacuate the grounds of the Berlin Open as heavy rain and strong winds set in, and as fans awaited the tennis tournament's singles final between Jessica Pegula of the US and Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic.
And in Italy, 15 cities are now on red alert, with the number expected to rise to 16 cities on Wednesday.
The cities are Bologna, Bolzano, Brescia, Florence, Frosinone, Milan, Perugia, Pescara, Rieti, Rome, Turin, Verona, Venice, Viterbo, and Ancona.
Latina in central Italy will join the list on Wednesday.
During a red alert - the highest level - the ministry advises people to eat light, stay indoors in the hottest parts of the day and sprinkle themselves with cool water.
In Rome, people were seen cooling off in water fountains in the city's Piazza Venezia.
In the capital, the transport authority admitted that the batteries on the city's new electric buses are running out before the end of the drivers' shifts because of more intensive use of air conditioning.
'We are organising the service to face up to this unusual heatwave,' the Atac transport authority was quoted by the Corriere della Sera daily as saying.
Meanwhile, temperatures in Belgium are expected to be 'the hottest ever recorded' there in the coming week, warned David Dehenauw, head of forecasting at the IRM meteorological institute.
Belgium's national rail company SNCB announced that some rush hour trains had been cancelled for Monday and Tuesday to reduce the risk of breakdowns blocking the tracks amid the heat dome.
Soaring temperatures forced a primary school in Tervuren, near Brussels, to relocate its final exams to a nearby church.
'Too hot in the classroom, then we'll do the exams in the church,' the school wrote on its Instagram, posting footage of pupils taking their tests from rows of church chairs.
Here in the UK, Liz Bentley, chief executive of the Royal Meteorological Society, predicted that existing UK heat records for June would be 'annihilated' - as had already happened in May.
'The coming week will bring an unprecedented heatwave with temperatures likely to reach 38-39 degrees Celsius,' she predicted. 'The current June record is 35.6 degrees Celsius.
'This will lead to two consecutive months, May and June, in which the UK temperature records have been annihilated by well over 2C,' she added.
The UK's meteorological office issued the highest level of heat warning for parts of central and southern England for Wednesday and Thursday, with temperatures in the shade potentially rising as high as 40C in some places.
'An exceptional spell of hot and humid weather is expected across this region' covering London, Birmingham, Bath and other areas of England, the Met Office said Monday, a month after Britain broke its May temperature record. It was only the second time the Met Office has issued such a warning.
'It is now likely the current highest temperature on record for June will be broken, this being 35.6C recorded in Southampton in June 1976 and Camden Square in June 1957,' the forecaster said.
Schools in southwest England said they were planning to finish the day early, and a train company said it was cancelling or changing some of its services out of London because of the 'severe weather'.
Transport systems across Europe came under strain. Britain's Network Rail also warned that passengers should only take essential train journeys on Wednesday and Thursday.
Services may be disrupted or slowed as operators impose speed restrictions to protect infrastructure.
Some transport routes were disrupted overnight due to a series of intense thunderstorms in London, including at Heathrow Airport.
The UN has warned the weather over the next five years will likely see more shattered heat records.
Akshay Deoras, a senior researcher at the University of Reading's National Centre for Atmospheric Science, in England, said it was clear what was behind the rash of heat records.
'Human-driven climate change has provided the springboard for this event, loading the atmosphere with extra heat and making extreme temperatures far more intense than they would have been in the past,' he said.
A study found that human-caused climate change led to the deaths of 1,500 people across Europe during an unusual May heatwave.

By L Todd Wood
June 22, 2026Law enforcement agencies could soon gain the ability to follow not only vehicles but also the personal electronic devices of drivers and passengers, thanks to a new system that merges traditional license plate scanning with wireless device tracking.
The technology, called SignalTrace, comes from Italian defense giant Leonardo. It builds upon existing automated license plate reader (ALPR) networks already installed on roadsides and in public spaces. Rather than stopping at vehicle plates, SignalTrace collects signals from smartphones, Bluetooth wearables like smartwatches and earbuds, RFID badges, and even pet microchips to create a persistent digital profile tied to specific cars.
According to materials reviewed by 404 Media, the system uses algorithms to detect when multiple devices travel consistently alongside a particular vehicle. It then links those devices to the vehicle’s license plate and precise location history, generating what the company describes as an “electronic fingerprint.”
This capability could help investigators track suspects even when license plates are swapped, removed, or obscured, reported SOFX.
Privacy advocates warn that such expanded tracking raises serious civil liberties issues. Groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation have long criticized ALPR systems for mapping people’s daily movements and associations, creating detailed “patterns of life” without warrants or probable cause. Adding personal device data to the mix significantly amplifies those concerns.
Leonardo has not publicly responded to the latest privacy questions surrounding SignalTrace. The company secured a patent for the core technology in 2024. In its announcement, Leonardo stressed that the system only captures emitted device frequencies and does not access or decrypt the actual content of phones, messages, or communications.
Officials at the company have also stated that SignalTrace was built to respect individual rights. The system reportedly holds data passively and only releases it in response to legitimate law enforcement requests following a crime.
Leonardo provides equipment and software to police forces, security services, and government agencies. The rollout of SignalTrace underscores a broader trend: surveillance infrastructure that once focused solely on vehicles is rapidly evolving to monitor the digital devices people carry with them every day.
This development is likely to fuel ongoing debates about the appropriate limits of public surveillance technology in balancing security needs with personal privacy.

Israelis Are Livid Over Trump
Ending War, Overwhelmingly Believe Iran Won: Poll
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
After roping
President Trump into breaking a core campaign promise, watching the United
States expend resources and risk American lives to attack Iran, and then
watching Trump take steps to end the war via MOU - Israelis are livid because the US didn't commit to full-on decimation to
celebrate America's 250th, and say Iran came out ahead.
According to a
survey conducted by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in partnership with the
Agam Institute, 92.1% of Israelis believe Iran
came out ahead in the conflict and the US-brokered deal that followed.
Even among
voters loyal to Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's conservative bloc, 93.1% said Iran won. 82.9%
of respondents said the six-week military campaign against Iran left
Israel's long-term security weaker, not stronger. Another 86%
hold a negative view of both the way the fighting ended and the way Washington
negotiated the subsequent deal without meaningful Israeli input. Nearly 88%
of Israelis believe their country either fell short of its war aims entirely or
achieved only partial success, despite the stated
objectives being nothing less than dismantling
Iran's nuclear program, neutering its missile arsenal, and toppling the regime
in Tehran. Those were the goals. None of them, by
the public's own assessment, were fully met.
Netanyahu has tried to project confidence
in the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding anyway. At a press conference
Monday, he insisted Iran will never possess
nuclear weapons "as long as I am prime minister of Israel." As
we noted on Tuesday, hardline Israeli politicians
are livid over the Iran deal, and want Netanyahu out so they can do 'real
regime change.'
"With
an agreement or without an agreement, Iran will not have nuclear weapons
- not today and not tomorrow," he said, calling the mission his
"life's mission." He has also maintained that the nuclear
threat from Iran was an "immediate danger" that Israel removed
"together with our American friends."
Either way, Israelis
aren't buying it. 72.5% of respondents
reject Netanyahu's claim that Israel secured major gains and
eliminated an existential threat. Only 26.5%
rate his handling of the war as "good" or "excellent," while
56.4% call it "failed" or "poor." His personal
approval as prime minister has collapsed from 40.5% in early March to 29.4% in
June, a fifteen-point swing in roughly three months.
And of course,
there's Trump... with 69.1%
of respondents rated his handling of the war and the resulting deal as
"failed" or "poor," against just 10.8% who called it
"good" or "excellent." Quite the change in sentiment
from his 2024 election win...
Despite the
widespread belief that the Iran campaign backfired, 48.2% of Israelis say their country should renew major military action
against Hezbollah, including strikes in Beirut, even if that means
clashing with Trump, who has made clear he wants
the fighting in Lebanon to stop. Only 20.9% oppose that course, with the
remaining 30.9% undecided. Israelis appear simultaneously convinced the last war
was mishandled and eager for the next one.
Just 12.2% of respondents believe Israel achieved most of the stated goals
against Hamas and Hezbollah following the October 7, 2023 attacks while 61.3% say Israel
achieved none of them, and 26.5% say only some were met.
Across the
Atlantic, the reception looks entirely different. A Quantus national
poll of 1,000 likely US voters found 43% strongly approve and another 13%
somewhat approve of the preliminary US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding.
Combined disapproval sits at just 13%.
The Trump
administration has been trying to respond to criticism of the deal, while
Israeli cabinet members are talking mad shit about Trump - to the point where VP
JD Vance came very close to asking if they've even said 'pwease' or 'thank you.'
Vance defended the MOU during Thursday's White House briefing, pushing back on
what he said was misleading media coverage. “The
simple fact is that the only way the Iranians get any of those resources - not a
single penny, by the way, from the United States of America under any
circumstances - but the only way that they would ever get any benefit of the
bargain is if they comply fully, and change their behavior," Vance said of
Iran, adding that Tehran's military and nuclear
program "is still destroyed" if Iran refuses to change course.
He also said that compliance would bring "a transformative relationship
with the Middle East."
? WOW! JD Vance
is DIRECTLY calling out Israeli cabinet members for their personal attacks on
President Trump
"Donald J.
Trump is the ONLY head of state in the ENTIRE WORLD who is sympathetic to the
nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of
state… pic.twitter.com/0H9yGH8ubL

(@nicksortor) June 18, 2026
The Hebrew
University-Agam Institute survey was conducted June 17–20, using a weighted
sample of 3,644 Israelis aged 17 and over, designed to reflect the broader
population, and has a maximum sampling error of just 2.2% at a 99% confidence
level.
Maybe they'll
just keep attacking Lebanon to scuttle the peace deal?
???? Israeli
Minister Ben-Gvir:
"We
cannot stop destroying houses in southern Lebanon. We cannot stop,
period.
We cannot allow
the population of southern Lebanon to return. ... We must continue to control
the territory even if Trump disagrees."
PSYCHO.

Hollywood Star Exposes The Perverse, ‘Demonic’ Fraud Inside Foster Care
System
By Staff |
Lifesite
June 22nd, 2026
6:15 AM
Actress and
singer Jen Lilley went on the Shawn Ryan
Podcast to discuss her experiences as a foster
care parent.

(LifeSiteNews)
— A Christian Hollywood star has exposed the
dark side of the foster care system which incentivises the bad behavior of
people who medically and socially abuse children placed in their care.
Actress and
singer Jen Lilley, a popular leading lady on the Hallmark and Great American
Family Channels, went on the Shawn Ryan Podcast to discuss her experiences as a
foster care parent.
Lilley
explained how “bad people” make money by
gaming the foster care system.
The actress
recounted a disturbing exchange at a Los Angeles conference where she
spoke with more experienced foster care
parents.
“Oh honey, I
make $28,000 a month off foster care … because I have this many kids,”
one woman said.
“Here’s the
thing: You want to get a D-Rate kid,”
this woman continued, explaining that the more
medical, emotional, and behavioral needs a child has, the more the foster care
system will reimburse the foster parent.
“You
want to make sure they fail in school. If they fail in school and you
can get them on medication, your rate goes up,” the woman told Lilley.
“Every time they don’t pass a grade, your rate
goes up because they’re a more difficult kid. Every time they need
medication, your rate goes up.”
Lilley declared, “This is a demonic situation that exists
because the church closed her doors.”
According to a
2025 report by The Up Center, a Virginia-based
nonprofit that supports foster families, several factors do indeed determine how
much financial support a foster family receives, including:
Special Needs: Children with medical,
emotional, or behavioral challenges qualify for higher reimbursement
rates.
Age Groups: Older children typically have higher
stipends due to increased costs for clothing, food, and activities.
Location: Payments vary by state, and sometimes even by county, depending
on cost of living.
Emergency Placement: Short-term or
emergency foster care may provide higher daily
rates due to urgent needs.
Level of Care: Therapeutic or treatment foster care, where children
require more specialized attention, comes with significantly higher payments.
Foster care payments
range up to $1,200 per month per child depending on the state, age of the
child, and level of care required.
Lilley noted
that the intention of increasing the rates
is likely meant to “incentivise good people to
stick with it, but what it did was to incentivise all the wrong people
— people who are in it for the money instead of for the love of a child.”

China Sanctions 10 US Defense,
Rare Earth Firms, Restricts 46 From Govt Procurement Weeks After Pentagon
Blacklist
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
China said on Monday that it
will add 10 American firms to its export control list, including two rare earth
firms MP Materials and USA Rare Earth, while also restricting
46 US firms from government procurement, signaling it would respond
to Washington’s recent expansion of a military blacklist, even amid a broader
stabilization of bilateral ties, the SCMP reported.
The Ministry of
Commerce said in a statement on Monday that the 10 American firms to be added to the export control list were
AVEOX (Simi
Valley, California)
Red Cat
Holdings and Teal Drones (South Salt Lake, Utah)
IMSAR
(Springville, Utah)
Jaia Robotics
(Bristol, Rhode Island)
Ball Aerospace
& Technologies (Broomfield, Colorado)
Oshkosh Defense
(Oshkosh, Wisconsin)
L3Harris
Maritime Services (Norfolk, Virginia)
MP Materials
(Las Vegas, Nevada)
USA Rare Earth
(Stillwater, Oklahoma)
It's notable
that China's commerce ministry had already imposed
curbs on a number of these listed firms and their subsidiaries, both in 2024 and
2025 over US arms sales to Taiwan. More notably, the inclusion of
critical rare earth players like MP Materials and USA Rare Earth underscores
Beijing's willingness to weaponize its monopoly over the global magnet and rare
earths supply chains.
A spokesperson
for the Ministry of Commerce said the decisions were made in response to “malicious actions” by the US
government, after the US Department of Defence expanded its list of
“Chinese military companies”.
“China has
decided, in accordance with the relevant laws and provisions… to include Aveox,
Inc. and nine other US military-related entities on the export control list. The
export of dual-use items to these entities is prohibited, and no export
operators shall violate the above provisions,” said the commerce ministry
spokesperson.
Analysts said
that the measures from both sides so far were unlikely to significantly derail
relations, though they also warned of the impact
from any escalation. As we reported, on June 9, the Pentagon
said it was adding dozens of Chinese companies - including tech giants
Alibaba and Baidu - to a list of entities it says were linked to China’s
military, widening a blacklist perceived as
targeting sectors at the heart of US-China technological competition. The
designation cut the firms off from US defense procurement; however, Baidu had
quickly shot back, calling the suggestion that it is a military company
"totally baseless".
So the U.S.
publishes a list of Chinese Military Companies—which
imposes no sanctions or restrictions on those
companies, it’s just a list—and China responds with actual export controls
on multiple U.S. companies. Seems like a good time for Commerce to issue the
Entity List… https://t.co/3JIAMuWVfK
— Chris
McGuire (@ChrisRMcGuire) June 22, 2026
The commerce
ministry cited provisions of China’s laws on export control of dual-use items
- products with both civilian and military applications - as well as the need to
safeguard national security and fulfill "international non-proliferation
obligations."
Specifically, export
operators are prohibited from shipping dual-use items to the 10 firms.
Organizations and individuals from any country or region are also prohibited
from transferring or providing any dual-use item
that originated in China to these businesses.
The notice
mandated that any export currently under way that falls under the law must be
stopped immediately.
Taiwan remains a sticking point in this tense ongoing diplomatic and defense
tug-of-war, but Rubio has still
lately confirmed that a proposed $14 billion arms
package to Taiwan remains "under review" - in the wake of
fierce Beijing objections.
According to
the Wall Street Journal, here what was likely behind Beijing's calculus:
China’s actions on Monday “likely serve
to build leverage for China in the ongoing negotiations with the U.S.,”
said Henry Gao, a trade expert and professor of law at Singapore Management
University. “In terms of the trade truce, this
development introduces additional friction, but it does not necessarily
derail the process.”
MP Materials, which enjoys financial backing from the Pentagon, is a leading U.S.
miner and processor of rare earths. Although USA
Rare Earth is less established as a player in the emerging industry, both
companies are aggressively ramping up capacity in an attempt to break China’s
stranglehold over the global supply chain of the key materials. MP
Materials and USA Rare Earth didn’t immediately respond to a request for
comment.
Meanwhile, the
Chinese Ministry of Finance also released a statement saying it would restrict
46 US firms from government procurement, excluding those involved in
China-based US-Sino joint ventures, effective immediately. The list of 46
US companies includes Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Missiles & Defence, General
Atomics Aeronautical Systems, BDS (Boeing Defence, Space & Security),
General Dynamics Land Systems and Javelin Joint Venture, a 50-50 partnership
between Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.
Cameron
Johnson, a partner at Shanghai-based consultancy Tidalwave Solutions, said the
move is Beijing’s “brushback pitch” – a warning against other
possible sanctions on China or its firms.
“This is a
reaction to the US’ recent blacklisting by the Pentagon,” he said. “This
also serves as a warning against any possible sanctions, such as ones targeting
China’s open-source AI tools that are currently being discussed in the
US.”
Johnson said
that more trade sanctions were likely from both
the US and China, as both countries attempt to increase leverage before
President Xi Jinping’s visit to the US in September.
“So
when they meet, they can use these measures as chips at the bargaining table,”
he said.
Earlier this
month, the Pentagon added technology giant Alibaba
Group Holding, electric vehicle makers BYD and Nio, search engine Baidu, robot
maker Unitree Robotics, networking equipment maker TP-Link and other Chinese
companies in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and the solar sector to a
list of “Chinese military companies”.
The designation, under Section 1260H of the National Defence
Authorisation Act, can complicate firms’ access
to US capital markets and government business, although it does not
automatically trigger sanctions. Observers also said “reputational
stigma” could affect the Chinese firms involved, and that the move could pave
the way for tougher sanctions by the US.
For China,
Johnson said the top leadership was also continuing to expand its export controls to blunt
the impact from the US, particularly in non-proliferation compliance or
in relation to activities or commodity trading it sees as detrimental to China
and its companies.
Xin Qiang, a professor and deputy director of the Centre for American Studies at
Fudan University, said Beijing was making it clear
it would fight back against trade sanctions or designations, but that the
ball is now in the US’ court.
“Beijing
is making it clear it’s not afraid of tactical confrontation” he
said.
Xin, however,
warned that any further escalation could cast a pall over Xi’s planned
September trip to the US.
“I
think the next step will likely depend on whether the US continues to introduce
new sanctions or confrontational measures. If so, China will certainly
retaliate. If this falls into a vicious cycle, the
impact will be extremely negative.”

GM replaces more than 1,000 workers with 50 robots at flagship Detroit
plant: ‘We’re disgusted’
By Brandon Cruz
Published June 21, 2026, 3:43 p.m. ET
General Motors has gutted its
electric-vehicle ambitions and killed more than 1,000 jobs at its flagship
Detroit assembly plant — replacing
those workers with 50 robots and sparking outrage from labor unions.
The “collaborative
robots,” or “cobots,” have been installed
on the assembly line at GM’s Factory Zero plant in Michigan amid a
sharply reduced demand for its EV models and the ensuing push to cut costs,
reports said.
The machines are now working alongside the
remaining humans there who attach the body panels to vehicles as they move down
the track, according to AutoBlog.
The automaker insists the cobots are not replacements
to human workers and are actually necessary at the Detroit-Hamtramck
electric-truck plant to stay competitive while improving “safety and
ergonomics” for the workers, according to Crain’s Detroit Business and a
company spokesman.
“We’ve been
installing cobots across our manufacturing footprint as part of a broader
push to bring more advanced technology into our
operations,” spokesman Kevin Kelly said.
“At Factory ZERO, we are implementing them alongside our team — helping improve
safety and ergonomics, while keeping our
operations flexible and competitive,” he said, adding that the workers
let go are only temporarily laid off.
Kelly did not specify if or when those workers
would eventually return to work.
But United Auto
Workers Local 22 president James Cotton isn’t buying it, saying the machines
are simply a cost-cutting measure that is taking jobs from his union
members.
“Our manpower is being taken away from
us,” Cotton said, according to Crains.
“From top to bottom, we’re disgusted that
they have cobots in our plants,” he said.
The number of
labor hours required to produce a car has declined 50% to 70% since the 1980s,
Crains reported.
But that hasn’t
stopped UAW wages from going up. The union was able to make historic wage
gains in 2023, and the union will likely seek
stronger protections in its upcoming 2028 contract negotiations, the
outlet said.
Cotton said that despite the company’s claim
of the technology making conditions safer, he has safety concerns with robots
working next to humans and noted the union has
since filed grievances against GM over the cobots.
The cobots arrived as GM
is getting hammered by slowing EV demand — largely because of the
costs, according to AAA — with the automaker pausing production at Factory
Zero multiple times over the past year.
In response to GM’s heavy automation push
and cobot installation, UAW president Shawn Fain said workers are “in a fight for humanity,” reported the News
Tribune.
“The fruits of
our labor have multiplied like never before, but workers aren’t reaping the
harvest,” he said, according to the outlet.
“And if AI continues to be used as an
accessory to that crime, it has to be stopped — it doesn’t have to be this
way — in a just society, when workers create
more value, they see more of the benefit.”
In the first quarter
of 2026, GM reported $4.25 billion in profits, up 22% from the same
period the previous year, according to Yahoo! Finance.

New York To Pay Prostitutes
Millions For Free Healthcare
Gov. Kathy Hochul (Marc A. Hermann / MTA)
Spencer Lombardo June
22, 2026 5:05 PM ET
New Yorkers are set to keep
paying for prostitutes’ STD treatments and birth control.
Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul’s
administration will spend an additional $1.5
million in tax-dollars on prostitutes’ healthcare, reviving the $1 million
pilot program without legislative approval, The New York Post reported
Friday.
New York State Department of Public Health,
Hochul’s office, Community Health Project, and Evergreen Health did not
immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Community Health Project owns the Callen-Lorde
Community Health Center (Callen-Lorde) in Brooklyn, which “pioneered
healthcare equity in the spirit of resistance—and with a deep commitment to
fighting stigma and health disparities,” according to its website.
The New York State Department of Public
Health’s AIDS Institute granted Callen-Lorde’s
and Evergreen Health’s parent corporations $1 million to cover prostitutes’
primary, behavioral, dental, and sexual health services, The Post
reported July 2023. The department recently extended the program through 2028
after expiring last year.
“The lengths by which New
York Democrats will cater to the far left has no greater example then [sic] Gov.
Hochul funding healthcare for hookers to the tune of millions while actual
frontline healthcare workers … live on food stamps,” Republican
Assemblyman Michael Novakhov reportedly
said. “Instead of playing pimp, Kathy ‘Ho-Ho’ Hochul and Mayor ‘Madam’
Mamdani should consider making sure the heroes who answer 911 calls and save
lives every day can afford their rent and groceries.”
The extension came after calls
from Democratic firebrands such as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in favor
of decriminalizing prostitution, according
to The Post.
“Not only must
we decriminalize sex work, we need a comprehensive platform of justice for
all,” Mamdani stated in an X post during his May 2020 campaign for
state assembly.
“[Hochul] is a
target and trying to keep them [Mamdani and state Democratic Socialists of
America] at bay [during her re-election bid] with other people’s money,”
Republican Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo
reportedly said. He also pointed out how
prostitutes can already receive abortions and pills for sexually transmitted
diseases at medical facilities for free within the state.

Massive cloud of Saharan dust
set to engulf parts of the US in DAYS with lung-penetrating particles

TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 15:16 EDT, 22 June 2026 | Updated:
04:17 EDT, 23 June 2026
A massive plume
of Saharan dust is making its way across the Atlantic and is expected to reach
parts of the southeastern US in the coming days.
The vast cloud
consists of extremely dry, dust-filled air
that forms over the Sahara Desert before being carried thousands of miles
westward by strong winds.
Light to moderate Saharan dust
has already begun drifting into South Florida,
including the Miami area, creating hazy skies, suppressing
thunderstorm activity and contributing to
hotter, drier conditions.
Forecasters said a drier air mass, fueled by an approaching plume of Saharan dust, will move
into the region beginning Tuesday.
The dust is
expected to continue filtering across the
state through the week, with its effects becoming increasingly noticeable
by midweek.
Saharan dust contains fine
particles, PM10 and especially PM2.5, minerals like quartz and feldspar, and
sometimes microbes or pollutants picked up
during transport.
These can be
inhaled deep into the lungs or enter the bloodstream, causing
respiratory and cardiovascular issues.
Other impacts include eye,
nose, skin and throat irritation, headaches, fatigue and allergic reactions.
The Miami-Dade County Department of
Environmental Resources Management has issued an Air
Quality Alert for fine particulate pollution that will remain in effect until
3pm ET Tuesday.
The alert covers
inland, metropolitan, coastal and far southern portions of Miami-Dade County,
including Miami, Hialeah, Kendall, Kendale Lakes, Carol
City, Florida City, Redland, Fortymile Bend, Shark Valley Observation Tower,
Pa-Hay Okee Overlook, Mahogany Hammock and Royal Palm Ranger Station.
Officials warned that concentrations
of fine particulate matter may approach or exceed levels considered unhealthy,
potentially affecting air quality across the region.
The greatest
impacts of the Sahara dust are forecast from the middle of the week into the weekend as high pressure builds and
additional dust arrives from the Atlantic.
Conditions are expected to
gradually improve later in the week as
moisture returns, although Saharan dust outbreaks are common across the
southeastern US during the summer months.
Forecasters warned the plume
could worsen conditions during an ongoing heat wave.
The NWS said temperatures will continue to
climb into the mid-90s, while heat index values could reach between 105 and 110
degrees.
The arrival of the plume also means quiet
hurricane activity.
As the dust travels toward the
US, a dry pocket of air forms thousands of feet above sea level, bringing drier
air and hotter conditions, suppressing tropical developments like hurricanes by
removing the moisture they need to form.
Each summer, seasonal
weather patterns like the West African Monsoon and high-pressure systems create
strong winds that sweep across the Sahara.
These winds pick up tiny
particles known as aeolian dust and lift them into the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, the Bermuda-Azores High, a
high-pressure system over the Atlantic Ocean, produces steady east-to-west winds
that help carry the dust across the ocean.
Another pattern, the African
Easterly Jet, helps push the dust higher into the air and even farther
west.
Together, these wind systems can transport
Saharan dust over 5,000 miles, often reaching the Caribbean, Florida, and
the Gulf Coast.
Dust activity usually peaks between June and
mid-August, though the amount of dust varies from year to year.

Canadian Prime
Minister Mark Carney stated that he was
“horrified” to learn of a shooting attack in a heavily Jewish neighborhood
in Montreal, Quebec, on Monday in which at least two people, including a
police officer, were killed.
“My
thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, the first responders,
and the entire community of Côte‑des‑Neiges,” Carney said in a
post on X/Twitter.
Quebec Province
Premier Christine Fréchette similarly
shared that she was “deeply shaken” by the
attack and that the government of Quebec “is offering its full
cooperation to the authorities involved and will remain present to support the
victims, their loved ones, and the community.”
Fréchette condemned the attack as an act that has “no place” in
Canadian society.
"I would
like to thank the police officers, first responders, and all those working on
the ground," she stated, adding that an investigation into the incident is
still ongoing.
In a press
briefing later on Monday, Fréchette announced
that the Quebec flag will be flown at half-mast in the aftermath of the shooting.
She also stated that the province will dispatch
psychological support teams to any individual affected by the attack who
needs them.
Minister of
Diaspora Affairs decries rise in antisemitic
violence in Canada
Minister of
Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli stated in a post on X/Twitter that he is closely
monitoring the situation and that his ministry is in ongoing contact with
community leaders and relevant authorities in Montreal.
“The
Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism stands ready to assist,
support, and stand alongside the community during this difficult time,”
he continued.
While the
motivation behind the attack has not yet been confirmed by Canadian authorities,
Chikli decried the rise in antisemitic violence
against Canada’s Jewish communities over the past two years.
“As
we have warned time and again, it is only a matter of time before there will be
loss of innocent lives,” Chikli stated, urging local authorities to
“stop with the condemnations and committees, and start with the action.”
Israel’s consulate in Montreal also extended its thoughts and prayers
to all impacted by the shooting in a post on X/Twitter.
“We offer our
most sincere condolences to the victims, their families, and all those affected
by this tragedy,” the consulate said in a statement released on social media.
The consulate
also expressed appreciation for the swift responses of Montreal Police (SPVM)
and local law enforcement agencies.

First round of US-Iran talks ends with 60-day roadmap toward final deal, mediators say
Iran says Qatar and Pakistan’s ‘tireless’ mediation helped advance efforts to end the Lebanon war, as US-Iran talks in Switzerland move to technical teams
ynet, News Agencies|Yesterday | 21:25
Qatar and Pakistan said Monday that the first round of high-level talks between the United States and Iran had concluded in Switzerland with “encouraging progress,” including a 60-day roadmap toward a final agreement and new mechanisms meant to prevent escalation in the Strait of Hormuz and Lebanon.
The talks at the Qatari-owned Bürgenstock resort followed a tense opening in which Tehran said it had again restricted maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to resume attacks on Iran if it tried to close the waterway.
The Lake Lucerne Summit was held under the framework of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and included representatives from Iran, the United States and the two mediating countries, Qatar and Pakistan. A U.S. official said Vice President JD Vance took part in the talks with Iranian officials.
In a joint statement, Qatar and Pakistan said the talks were conducted in a “positive and constructive atmosphere” and had produced “encouraging progress,” including the creation of a mechanism for further technical negotiations.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said separately that the work of the negotiating delegation had concluded, but that technical teams would continue their discussions, according to Iranian state and semi-official media. He said a text issued by Qatar and Pakistan would outline the general points agreed during 18 hours of talks and would be presented as the document of understandings reached in Switzerland.
According to the joint statement, the parties agreed to establish a High-Level Committee to provide political oversight of the mediation. Chief negotiators will report regularly to the committee and lead working groups focused on nuclear issues, sanctions, monitoring and dispute resolution, as well as other matters related to implementing the memorandum.
The committee also agreed on a roadmap aimed at reaching a final deal within 60 days, laying the groundwork for the immediate start of additional technical talks.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the “tireless” mediation by Pakistan and Qatar had delivered major progress toward ending the war in Lebanon. He said oil and petrochemical exports had received waivers, the blockade had been lifted, some frozen Iranian assets had been released and a major reconstruction and development plan for Iran had been launched.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said the sides discussed the basis for beginning negotiations toward a final agreement and that “good progress” had been made in Switzerland, according to IRNA and Press TV.
The mediators said the parties had also agreed to open a communication line to avoid incidents and miscommunication, with the goal of ensuring safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
The strait, a key choke point for global energy shipments, had become a central point of dispute before the talks. Iran said it had restricted traffic because the United States had failed to ensure a halt to fighting in Lebanon, while U.S. officials disputed that the waterway had been closed. Commercial shipping data cited in the report showed five vessels passed through the strait on Sunday, down from 26 a day earlier.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman confirmed that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz had been discussed and that the sides agreed to arrange a mechanism.
The joint statement also said the parties agreed to create a de-confliction cell involving the negotiating parties and Lebanon, facilitated by the mediators, to ensure adherence to the termination of military operations in Lebanon under the memorandum.
A U.S. diplomat involved in the talks said late Sunday that the sides had discussed “the Strait, Lebanon, nuclear issues, and details of implementing the MOU, among other topics.” The diplomat said discussions also included “clarifying some of the confusing messaging from Iran on the Strait and building deconfliction mechanisms to ensure the Strait will remain fully open.”
The talks were held against the backdrop of continued violence in Lebanon despite a new ceasefire announcement Friday. Trump warned Iran on social media to stop its “proxies in Lebanon from causing trouble,” saying the United States would strike Iran again if it did not rein them in. Vance, however, said Trump had asked U.S. officials to “turn over a new leaf” in relations with the Iranian people.
Technical talks are expected to continue at Bürgenstock for the remainder of the week.
Qatar and Pakistan said they would continue working to ensure that negotiations proceed in a constructive atmosphere, with the goal of reaching a final deal. The mediators also expressed appreciation to the United States and Iran for what they described as their commitment to diplomacy and a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

Millions told to stay indoors as lung-damaging toxins blanket two US states

Published: 08:14 EDT, 19 June 2026 | Updated: 08:19 EDT, 19 June 2026
Millions of Americans are being told to stay indoors as dangerous air pollution reaches unhealthy levels across parts of multiple states on Friday.
The National Weather Service has issued multiple air quality alerts covering major population centers of Colorado and California as ozone smog, fine particle pollution and windblown dust threaten to worsen respiratory conditions.
The alerts affect communities stretching from Colorado's Front Range Urban Corridor to Southern California's Coachella Valley and parts of East Los Angeles.
Breathing in ozone can significantly damage human lungs, along with triggering breathing difficulties, asthma attacks and other health problems, particularly among children, older adults and people with existing lung disease.
In Colorado, hot temperatures and stagnant weather conditions are allowing ozone pollution to build near the ground.
Officials in California are battling separate pollution events driven by harmful fine particles and wind-blown dust.
Residents in affected areas are being urged to reduce strenuous outdoor activity and take steps to keep indoor air clean.
The alerts remain in effect Friday, with some areas expected to remain under warnings through Saturday morning.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issued an Ozone Action Day Alert for the Front Range Urban Corridor, covering Douglas, Jefferson, Denver, western Arapahoe, western Adams, Broomfield, Boulder, Larimer and Weld counties.
The alert began Thursday afternoon and remains in effect until 4pm local time on Friday, according to the NWS alert.
Officials warned that hot, stagnant weather will allow ozone levels to climb into the 'Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups' category.
Ground-level ozone, often referred to as smog, forms when sunlight reacts with pollutants emitted by vehicles, industrial facilities and other sources.
Residents were asked to reduce driving whenever possible in an effort to limit additional pollution.
The warning affects millions of residents living along the busy Interstate 25 corridor from the Denver metro area north toward Fort Collins.
Meanwhile, Southern California is facing two distinct air-quality threats.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued an alert for the Coachella Valley due to harmful levels of particle pollution generated by windblown dust.
The alert covers communities including Indio, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Palm Desert, La Quinta and Coachella and remains in effect until 11am local time on Saturday.
Officials warned that particle pollution can penetrate deep into the lungs and contribute to serious health issues, including asthma attacks, worsening heart and lung disease symptoms and an increased risk of respiratory infections.
Another air quality alert was issued for Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles because of elevated levels of fine particle pollution.
The warning remains active until Friday afternoon.
Fine particle pollution, known as PM2.5, consists of microscopic particles that are small enough to travel deep into the respiratory system and, in some cases, enter the bloodstream.
According to officials, exposure can increase the risk of heart attacks, bronchitis, asthma flare-ups and breathing difficulties.
While anyone can experience health impacts from poor air quality, officials said certain groups face significantly greater risks.
These include people with heart or lung disease, older adults, pregnant women, children and those who spend long periods outdoors.
Residents in affected areas are being advised to keep windows and doors closed, run air conditioning systems or air purifiers when possible and avoid activities that could further worsen indoor air quality.
Officials also recommend avoiding fireplaces, candles, incense, grilling and gasoline-powered lawn equipment during periods of poor air quality.
Air quality can change rapidly depending on weather conditions, wind patterns and local emissions, meaning pollution levels may vary considerably even within the same city.
Forecasters said residents should continue monitoring local air quality reports and limit outdoor exertion when pollution levels rise into unhealthy categories.

Canada’s War on Jesus – Pastor Artur Pawlowski
By Greg Hunter On June 20, 2026 In Political Analysis 47 Comments
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)
Canada’s legislative body has just passed the so-called “Bible Ban” (Bill C–9) “including an amendment that removes a longstanding religious‑exemption in hate‑speech law.” It basically makes things said in the Bible hate crimes that carry criminal penalties. LifesiteNews.com reports, “One Conservative MP, Brad Redekopp, called the official passage of Bill C-9 a “dark day” for Canada and religious freedom and an “assault” on faith.” Pastor Artur Pawlowski is no stranger to religious oppression in Canada. He went viral during Covid lockdowns when he called Canadian police Nazis, kicking them out of his church at an Easter service. It got millions of views, but YouTube took it down. Please tell me this “Bible Ban” law in Canada is not happening. Pastor Pawlowski says, “Yes, it is absolutely happening. It’s happening in front of our very eyes, but it did not start a few months ago. They have been trying to pass laws like this for decades. . .. I was arrested for reading the Bible in a public park. I had several charges and faced a year in prison for the crime of reading the Bible, and that was 2006. . .. I have become the most persecuted and prosecuted Canadian in the history of this country. I have more than 360 citations, more than 120 court cases and many, many arrests before Covid, during Covid and after Covid.”
Pastor Pawlowski has a special warning for America and says, “They have been working on this for a very long time. I want Americans to know that they just don’t show up one day and say, hey, I’m Aldolf Hitler. I’m Joseph Stalin. . .. They are working their plans. They are very patient and implementing little laws . . . it’s death by 1,000 bylaws. They are bringing these laws here. . .. If you say homosexuality is an abomination (as in the Bible), this can be deemed as hate, and you could spend 10 years in prison. . .. It’s not just aimed at homosexuality. . .. If you say prostitution is wrong, stealing is wrong or lying is wrong and you are targeting a group of people and they can say their feelings are hurt and they think you are ‘hating’ them for being thieves or gangsters or rapists or pedophiles. . .. The government can now come and arrest you if you publicly go against pedophilia. . .. You calling them pedophiles and wicked and evil is hurting them because it is hate. You can be arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned.”
This new “Bible Ban” law is a direct attack on Jesus. The Bible, in the Old Testament and New Testament, is mostly about Jesus. The Bible says in Saint John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word (Jesus) was God” (KJV). The Book of Revelation, at the end of the Bible, is all about the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Banning the Bible is a war on Jesus. There is no other way to define it.
In closing, Pastor Pawlowski says Canada has gone rogue. . .. Canada has fallen. I am telling you they are not stopping. In the UK, tens of thousands of people are already in prison for Tweets and Facebook posts. . .. I grew up behind the Iron Curtain (in Poland), and if you have never faced tyranny like immigrants like me, you have no idea what we are talking about. You have never faced the horror, fear and terror of a totalitarian regime, but that is exactly what we are seeing. . .. Look what happened in Australia and New Zealand. They willingly gave up their guns and, boom–their freedoms are gone.”
There is much more in the 39-minute interview.

Putin's Advisor: Russia Considering Missile Strikes on Europe
Hal Turner World June 20, 2026 Hits: 16143
Currently, in Moscow, the determination is growing to proceed "much more harshly" against Ukraine and the European countries directly involved in the "aggression" against Russia. This was a statement of fact from Sergei Karaganov, a close advisor to the Russian president and prominent political scientist, in a televised media interview.
According to Karaganov, Russia's attack on Europe will take place within a year. Germany is at the top of the target list, where "revanchism" is returning, along with Poland and Romania, which are involved in arms deliveries to Ukraine.

As you can clearly see the evil in the world is almost fifty-fifty, my word has shown you that before, so that should not be a surprise. For I have said that two shall be standing in the field and one shall go and one shall remain, that is fifty-fifty, and it has got to that place, that also means that the end is very, very near. So you will still have half of the world that desires to do evil and half of the world that desires to do good, but only about thirty percent are true Christians. etc.

Rome March for Life draws thousands: 'Protecting life is... beautiful'
Icon of a globeInternational
·By Isabella ChildsRome March for Life draws thousands: 'Protecting life is... beautiful'
Thousands of pro-life Italians took the streets of Rome on June 13 for Italy’s annual “Scegliamo della Vita” (“Letʼs Choose Life”) March. The pro-lifers marched both for the preborn, who can be aborted up to 12 weeks under current Italian law, and for the elderly and disabled, who are threatened by the possibility of the broad legalization of assisted suicide in the country.
Key Takeaways:
Thousands of people participated in the 2026 annual March for Life in Rome, Italy.
Organizers wanted to show the beauty and joy in choosing life.
Abortion is currently legal in Italy through 12 weeks gestation.
The March began at the Piazza della Repubblica and included thousands of participants from all across Italy.
Maria Rachele Ruiu, a prominent Italian pro-life advocate who participated in the March, told EWTN News that the marchers aimed to demonstrate not just the right to life, but also the beauty and joy of the pro-life cause.
Never miss the latest news in the fight for life.
“We want to show that choosing and protecting life is not only right, important, and necessary but also beautiful,” Ruiu said.
Ruiu pointed out how the Italian press often mischaracterizes those who stand for the right to life for the preborn and the vulnerable; the March is an opportunity for the pro-lifers to share their joy.
“We want to parade through Rome to show our true face: happy people,” Ruiu said.
Zoom In:
Massimo Gandolfini, who served as spokesperson for the march, referenced in his speech Italy’s current abortion law and a potential expansion of legal assisted suicide.
“We see that this right [to life] today is deeply wounded and heavily attacked with abortion law, and with this rumored law on assisted suicide, to which we are totally opposed,” Gandolfini said.
Italy legalized abortion in 1978, and under current law, women are allowed to abort their babies up to 12 weeks for any reason; women are able to obtain abortions in the second trimester and beyond if medical professionals label their situation as urgent. The abortion pill is legal through nine weeks of pregnancy in Italy.
Italian law permits assisted suicide for patients determined to be suffering irreversible pathology with intolerable physical and psychological pain, in accordance with a 2019 Italian Constitutional Court ruling. Pro-life advocates are concerned by rumors of the law’s expansion.
“We want to demonstrate to keep attention high on a fundamental issue, which is the right to life. The right to life is the right that underpins every other right of a civil society and a democratic society,” Gandolfini said.
The Bottom Line:
Famed singer Andrea Bocelli sent a message to marchers, which was played at the rally. Bocelli’s mother was pressured by doctors to abort her son, but she chose life.
"Life, when welcomed and not feared, multiplies, and the civilizations that have prospered are those that have invested in new generations,” Bocelli said.

ANOTHER RARE GULF OF AMERICA EARTHQUAKE STRIKES NEAR CUBA
For only the third time in more than 150 years, another rare earthquake has occurred in the southern Gulf of America near Cuba.
The quake measured M4.9 at a depth of approximately 12 miles, occurring on June 15, 2026 at here earthquakes are rarely observed.
What makes this event even more unusual is that it follows other rare earthquakes in the same general area, adding to a growing list of uncommon seismic activity in the Gulf.
Could this be the start of a larger seismic trend in the region?

Anti-Christian Hate Crimes Are Surging Across Europe—And The Warning Signs Are Also Flashing In America
By
Decision Magazine June 17, 2026Anti-Christian hate crimes are surging across Europe—and the warning signs are flashing in America too.
The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe) released its May 2026 monthly analysis report, documenting a troubling spike in hostility. A total of “37 anti-Christian hate crimes targeting Christian places of worship, religious symbols, religious spaces, Christian institutions and Christian individuals” were recorded, marking an overall increase.
The crimes included vandalism, desecration, physical violence, theft, incitement, vandalism paired with violence, disruption of worship, and arson-related attacks. “With 13 recorded arson-related incidents,” the report notes, “May represents the highest monthly figure recorded so far in 2026.” Though not exhaustive, the countries that bore the brunt of it included Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
OIDAC Europe details how “incidents affecting churches and Christian property whose anti-Christian bias could not be clearly established” were not included in the report, meaning the “statistical total” could be worse than presented. Over 27 additional thefts, 24 break-ins or attempted break-ins, 14 cases of vandalism, damage or graffiti, and nine fires are actively “under investigation or with unclear causes.”
In Greece alone, roughly 96% of “all recorded incidents” involved attacks related to religious sites in the country between 2024 and 2025, according to the May 2026 analysis.
“[A]nti-Christian hostility continues to extend beyond property damage,” OIDAC asserts. “[I]ncidents involving direct violence, intimidation, or serious danger to persons” are steadily becoming a “notable trend.”
For example, according to OIDAC Europe, “A Christian-run caf
é in Leipzig had to close after its operators reported 26 attacks over a period of two and a half years, including repeated vandalism, graffiti attacks, damage caused by butyric acid, and other forms of harassment.” These attacks were allegedly “carried out by individuals associated with the far-left extremist scene and ultimately made the continued operation of the café financially impossible.”The Barbara Chapel in Penzberg, Germany, was desecrated with “satanic graffiti.” A historic church bell tower was damaged in a shotgun attack in Greece, and Italy faced instances of graffiti that openly called for churches to be burned.
These aren’t abstract numbers, OIDAC Europe concludes, but vivid pictures of believers struggling to live out their faith without penalty. A café forced to shutter after relentless harassment. Worship disrupted by violence. These recorded cases reflect “a broader pattern repeatedly documented by OIDAC Europe in recent years, namely the pressure faced by Christian individuals and organisations that publicly uphold traditional Christian beliefs and values.”
And notably, this wave of hostility isn’t confined to Europe. Similar patterns are increasing sharply in the United States as well.
According to the Family Research Council’s (FRC) own tracking of incidents against churches, the organization identified 1,384 acts of hostility toward U.S. churches between January 2018 and December 2024. Like in OIDAC Europe’s report, these attacks include vandalism, arson, bomb threats and other destructive acts that seek to intimidate faith communities.
FRC’s reports show a clear upward trend in attacks on houses of worship, with annual updates documenting accelerating incidents in recent years. Just as in Europe, these acts often target the physical spaces where Christians gather, while broader cultural pressures mount against those who hold to Biblical convictions on life, marriage and truth.
Bible passages to ponder amid rising hostility:
Philippians 3:10
Matthew 16:18
John 16:33

For WEEKS, I warned all of you . . . . Today, it happened . . . .
Hal Turner Nation June 17, 2026 Hits: 28852
Zero Hedge made the report at 10:49 AM eastern time, today:
For literally WEEKS, I warned readers of this website and listeners to my radio show that we here in the US would start hitting "tank bottom." Now, the "pipeline crossroads of the world" in Cushing, Oklahoma, HAVE hit tank bottom.
Any oil flowing into Cushing, is redirected to flow straight out. Storage tanks are at their operational bottom; NO RESERVES AVAILABLE.
So now we need to see, who is going to GET oil and who isn't? You've got to know the Military will get THEIRS first . . .
Once we start hearing who won't get more oil until "two weeks from next Friday" we will have an idea of which parts of the country will run out of Gasoline, Diesel, Propane, Aviation, and Bunker fuel(s). EXPECT TO SEE GAS RATIONING in Parts of this country, soon.
MORE ! ! ! !
U.S. President Donald Trump, attending the G7 Meeting in France, told the media just minutes ago "`We Run Out of Reserves in About Four Weeks' (if the Iran deal wasn't done.)
Here is video of him revealing that:
Now, here's the "rub:" If Israel screws-up the Iran deal, and attacks either Iran or Lebanon again, then Iran will shut the strait of Hormuz all over again - BEFORE WE GET THE OIL -- which will take 35 days to arrive at the West Coast, 45 Days to arrive at the Gulf Coast, and 55 days to arrive at the East Coast. That time does NOT count the number of days it takes to physically LOAD those massive tanker vessels.
So we are most definitely NOT "out of the woods" and we will be running-out of fuel in some areas of THIS country within weeks.
I earnestly hope you took my warnings seriously, and got yourselves several five-gallon gasoline storage cans - and FILLED THEM UP.
Right now, we have no way of seeing the internal oil distribution priorities that will have to be implemented, so there are, in fact, areas of THIS country that WILL run out of fuel for some period of time. YOU need reserve gasoline (or perhaps Diesel) to try to get yourself through that outage.
Oh, and for those of you who mocked my reporting, who called me "Chicken Little the sky is falling" or smeared me as "The Boy who cried Wolf", and those others who scorned my reporting as "click bait" or "Doom Porn" it turns out I was right, and you were wrong. Tank Bottom arrived today at the Primary commercial oil reserves for this nation.
So the real question is, will those smart-asses who doubted me, NOW go out and get prepared? Or will it just be too much for them to admit I was right, and they were wrong?

Canada’s Parliament officially passes ‘Bible ban’ Bill C-9
Canada’s House rejected a final attempt to stop Bill C-9, which threatens to criminalize quoting the Bible, including on homosexuality.
Anthony
MurdochWed Jun 17, 2026 - 6:43 pm EDT
OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — A final attempt to stop Bill C-9 was defeated, meaning that the bill, which threatens to criminalize quoting parts of the Bible, including on homosexuality, has officially passed Canada’s Parliament and will soon become law.
On Wednesday, June 17, a majority of MPs voted down an attempt by Conservative MP Andrew Lawton to stop Bill C-9 “once and for all.”
“The Liberals and Bloc Qu
ébécois voted down my motion to withdraw the divisive and toxic Bill C-9 to stand up for freedom of expression and freedom of religion,” wrote Lawton in an X post.Lawton thanked Green and NDP MPs for voting in opposition to Bill C-9, noting that “opposition to this bill has come from the political left and right, from civil liberties groups and a range of faith organizations.”
“With the adoption of the Senate’s amendment criminalizing the noose as a hate symbol, Bill C-9 will soon receive royal assent and become law.”
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Canadian senators voted recently to approve the Liberals’ Bill C-9 or “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda, hate crime, and access to religious or cultural places).”
However, because the last-minute amendment adding the noose was made, the bill had to go back to the House of Commons before it was sent to the Governor General for Royal Assent to become law.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Canadian senators last week voted down a recent proposed amendment to Bill C-9 that would have criminalized “residential school denialism.”
A ‘dark day’ for Christians
One Conservative MP, Brad Redekopp, called the official passage of Bill C-9 a “dark day” for Canada and religious freedom and an “assault” on faith.
“Today is a dark day in Canadian history,” wrote Redekopp in an X post.
“The House has passed Bill C-9—an assault on religious freedom that removes longstanding protections for Canadians expressing sincerely held beliefs. Conservatives fought this bill every step of the way—and we will keep fighting until religious freedom is restored.”
Canadian pro-life and faith groups, as well as a Catholic cardinal, sounded the alarm over the legislation. Indeed, in a recent letter to Canadian senators, Cardinal Frank Leo, the metropolitan archbishop of Toronto, said that while the Catholic Church recognizes “the importance of addressing hatred and protecting individuals and communities from violence,” changes are needed to the bill.
Constitutional experts have blasted the bill, saying that it will allow empowered police and the government to go after those deemed to have violated a person’s “feelings” in a “hateful” way. The bill was introduced by Justice Minister Sean Fraser last year.
Specifically, Bill C-9 would remove Section 319(3)(b) of Canada’s Criminal Code.
This section protects the good-faith expression of a person’s religious views based on religious texts such as the Holy Bible.
Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) previously blasted the passage of Bill C-9 in the Senate, saying that “God will not be mocked.”
“This is a dark day for religious freedom and free speech in Canada,” said Jeff Gunnarson, national president of CLC.

Spy agencies buying your data: The new surveillance state no one is talking about
06/17/2026 // Cassie B. // Views
The U.S. and European intelligence agencies are purchasing commercial personal data harvested from the advertising ecosystem.
This practice, called advertising-based intelligence or AdInt, allows agencies to access location, political views, and religious beliefs.
Oversight bodies lack authority to review or block government contracts with data brokers.
The same datasets bought by Western agencies are equally available to foreign adversaries.
Stronger regulation and oversight would reduce national security vulnerabilities created by AdInt.
The digital advertising industry that tracks your every move for profit has found a new customer: your own government.
A report published Tuesday by Interface, a European tech policy think tank, reveals that U.S. and European intelligence agencies are spending millions of taxpayer dollars to purchase commercially available personal data harvested from the advertising ecosystem. This practice, known as advertising-based intelligence or AdInt, represents one of the most significant and largely unregulated shifts in modern surveillance.
What they're buying
The report gathered evidence from 11 intelligence oversight bodies across democratic nations. "Via commercial vendors, national security agencies typically purchase access to a constantly updated stream of bulk data. That data contains information on mobile devices' unique IDs, their precise location over time, as well as granular profile data of individual app users linked to these devices," said Thorsten Wetzling, one of the study's authors.
Among the sensitive details these datasets can expose are a person's whereabouts, age, gender, political views, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, and who they communicate with.
This information originates from online ad auctions, software embedded in apps, social media platforms, and internet-connected devices. Data brokers aggregate and sell it to anyone willing to pay, including intelligence agencies that acquire it through a range of procurement channels, sometimes using front companies to conceal their identity.
Agencies caught in the act
In the United States, the FBI has previously acknowledged purchasing location data derived from online advertising, although bureau director Christopher Wray testified in 2023 that the practice had since been replaced by a court-authorized process. U.S. Customs and Border Protection ran a pilot program from 2019 to 2021 that acquired location information from mobile app software and digital advertising systems. An internal Department of Homeland Security report found that some agencies had violated federal law through purchases of commercial location data.
In Europe, Austria's Interior Ministry procured the surveillance tool Tangles, which includes a plug-in capable of analyzing ad-derived location data. France's foreign intelligence service asked lawmakers in 2021 to create a legal basis for purchasing internet browsing records from private companies — a request that has yet to be granted.
Oversight bodies powerless to stop it
The findings are deeply concerning for anyone who values privacy. Researchers surveyed oversight practitioners and found that several lack the authority to review, reshape, or block government contracts with data brokers. Nearly all delegations surveyed said they are not notified when new contracts are signed, and not one has the binding authority to delay or prevent such contracts from being concluded.
"These practices are gaining momentum, not just in the United States where this has been reported more widely, but also across Europe," Wetzling said. The report notes that existing laws have failed to keep pace with the advertising data industry, leaving a regulatory vacuum that intelligence agencies have been quietly exploiting.
The accountability gap
Investigative reporting has shown how easily 3.6 billion location data points — covering millions of individuals, including military personnel, intelligence staff, and senior government officials — can be purchased on the open market. The practice creates national security risks too: close cooperation with private firms and reliance on vast datasets may expose agencies and personnel to exploitation by hostile actors.
Most oversight bodies said they are legally barred from publicly disclosing the extent to which their intelligence communities are buying commercial data. And while auditing data-sharing arrangements technically falls within most oversight mandates, not a single delegation reported having actually conducted such an audit where commercially sourced data was involved.
Will anyone stop them?
The report makes it clear that stronger regulation and effective oversight do not have to come at the expense of national security. In fact, the authors argue the opposite. Left unchecked, AdInt creates serious vulnerabilities: the same datasets purchased by Western agencies are equally available to foreign adversaries, who are already using them.
This is not just a European problem or an American problem. This is a human rights problem. Your data, collected without meaningful consent, is being weaponized by governments that have no business knowing where you sleep, who you love, or what you believe. The only way to stop it is to demand our elected officials close these legal loopholes before every private thought becomes a government data point.

These Are The States Starting To Panic About AI Taking Over
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
Residents of Washington state are more concerned about artificial intelligence replacing jobs than workers anywhere else in the United States, according to a new report released in June 2026. The study, conducted by IP address provider Floxy, comes amid growing concerns about workplace automation after more than 54,000 American jobs were reportedly lost to AI-related workforce reductions last year.
To determine where Americans are most worried about automation, researchers analyzed all 50 states using several indicators. The study measured AI adoption rates among working-age residents, assessed how vulnerable local industries are to automation, and tracked search activity for terms such as "will AI replace my job," "AI taking jobs," and "AI layoffs." Researchers also factored in cybercrime rates, identity theft statistics, and the strength of state-level data protection laws.
Each state received an AI Panic Index score ranging from 1 to 99, with higher scores indicating greater levels of concern about AI-driven job displacement.
With an AI Panic Score of 99, Washington tops the rankings. Approximately 4,087 AI-related job displacement searches are conducted per 100,000 residents, the highest rate in the country. Researchers suggest this concern may be linked to the state's close ties to the technology sector, as both Amazon and Microsoft are headquartered there and have recently announced significant workforce reductions tied to AI initiatives. At the same time, nearly one-third of Washington's workforce already uses AI tools, giving many employees firsthand exposure to the technology's growing capabilities.
Wyoming ranks second, with more than 20,000 residents regularly searching for information about protecting their jobs from AI. Although the state lacks the large technology sector found in Washington, around one-quarter of working adults already use AI tools such as ChatGPT, potentially increasing awareness of how automation could affect future employment opportunities.
Nevada places third on the list. The state combines relatively high AI adoption with one of the nation's highest cybercrime rates, creating heightened awareness of technology-related risks. Approximately one in three Nevada workers already use AI tools, and around 55,000 residents search monthly for information about whether AI could replace their jobs.
Massachusetts ranks fourth, with roughly 160,000 residents searching each month for information related to AI-driven job losses. The state's thriving technology and biotechnology industries are advancing rapidly alongside AI innovation, contributing to concerns about automation. With about one-third of adults already using AI tools regularly, many workers are becoming increasingly aware of the technology's potential impact on their roles.
Maryland ranks fifth and records the highest AI adoption rate in the country, with 36.3% of working-age residents already using AI in the workplace. Despite widespread adoption, concerns remain high, particularly given the state's large concentration of technology and knowledge-based jobs that could be vulnerable to automation in the years ahead.
Commenting on the findings, Floxy Chief Technology Officer Aimen Hallou said concerns about AI-related job displacement are well-founded: "These concerns are not overblown. AI was directly linked to tens of thousands of job cuts in the US last year, and that's only counting companies that openly admitted it. Amazon eliminated 14,000 corporate roles, citing AI; Microsoft cut 15,000, and both were explicit about why. The broader reality is that MIT researchers estimated AI can already perform the tasks of roughly 1 in 8 American workers. That number is only going to grow as the tools get cheaper and more capable."

Trump declares Iran deal finalized, orders US naval blockade lifted
US President Donald Trump said Washington and Tehran had reached an agreement that includes an Iranian commitment not to obtain nuclear weapons and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He later announced that the agreement had been finalized and ordered the US naval blockade lifted.
by ILH Staff
Published on 06-15-2026 00:56
Last modified: 06-15-2026 01:02Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced in a post on X that "following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED." He added that "both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon." According to Sharif, "the official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland."
US President Donald Trump joined the announcement in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, in which he ordered the Strait of Hormuz opened and the US naval blockade lifted. "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!"
The announcements came minutes after US President Donald Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he intended to soon issue an official statement confirming that the US and Iran had reached an agreement. He said the agreement was expected to be signed electronically by him or by Vice President JD Vance.
Trump also addressed the issue of enriched uranium, making clear that, as far as he was concerned, there was no urgency to remove it from Iranian territory. "We'll get the nuclear material later, when we're ready to go in and do it. I'd say over the next month or two, there's no rush," he said, describing the material as "harmless."
At the same time, the US president criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Israeli strike in Beirut, which he said nearly derailed the diplomatic talks. "Bibi shouldn't have done that. I really didn't like it," Trump said. However, he stressed that, as he understood it, Netanyahu supported the emerging agreement. "Bibi is okay with it. Why is it good for him? Iran cannot have nuclear weapons under any circumstances," he added.

Updated: Jun 13, 2026 / 11:55 AM EDTMoneta church tent collapses in storm, caused multiple injuries and a death
BEDFORD COUNTY, Va. (WFXR)- A person died and several others were injured when an outside tent at East Lake Community Church failed after a storm.
Bedford County officials say around 6:45 p.m. Friday, June 12, 2026, a large tent collapsed during an outdoor service at East Lake Community Church.
Eleven individuals were transported to local hospitals by ambulance, while eleven others were treated at the scene for minor injuries. One person died at the scene of the collapse.
Prior to the collapse, a severe storm cell moved through the area, bringing heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds. The weather conditions caused the tent structure to fail.
The tent had passed an inspection conducted by the Bedford County Division of Building Inspections on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
Bedford 911 Emergency Communications received the initial report and classified the incident as a mass casualty event. First responders from Moneta Volunteer Fire Department were on scene for the event and were able to immediately begin rescue efforts. Emergency personnel and resources from neighboring localities responded to assist at the scene.
“We would appreciate your prayers and your patience as we navigate this situation,” the church wrote on social media.

Israel tells Trump it is not bound by Lebanon clause in Iran deal
Netanyahu tells US president Israel will not withdraw from Lebanon and will keep acting against Hezbollah; ministers believe cabinet fully backed him in defending Israel’s interests on northern front
Itamar Eichner|Yesterday | 23:33
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told U.S. President Donald Trump that Israel does not consider itself bound by the Lebanon clause in the emerging agreement with Iran, Israeli officials said, making clear that Jerusalem will not accept any arrangement that limits its freedom to act against Hezbollah.
According to Israeli officials, Netanyahu also told Trump that Israel will not withdraw from Lebanon. The IDF will remain in the positions it currently holds and will continue operating to foil threats from Hezbollah, including destroying terror infrastructure and responding to any attack on Israel.

The understanding among ministers in the Security Cabinet is that Israel is standing firm on its interests in Lebanon, and that Netanyahu received full backing in the cabinet meeting for his position.
The dispute comes after Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Trump and Iran all announced that a U.S.-Iran agreement had been reached. According to Pakistan, the deal is meant to end the U.S.-Iran war and halt military operations on several fronts, including Lebanon.
That clause has become a red line for Israel. Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror group based in Lebanon, has been fighting Israel from across the northern border. Israel says it must retain freedom to strike Hezbollah targets in order to protect northern communities and prevent the group from rebuilding its forces near the border.
Israeli officials assessed overnight that Tehran had decided to “close the incident” and avoid attacking Israel after an Israeli strike in Beirut’s Dahieh district, a Hezbollah stronghold in the Lebanese capital. Iran had threatened to retaliate, but Israeli officials believe U.S. pressure and mediation efforts led Tehran to stand down rather than risk derailing the agreement.
Senior Israeli officials said the Lebanon clause is “something we will have to stand firm on anyway if we are asked to make withdrawals there.” According to one official, Netanyahu is “standing firm and succeeding in pushing back such Iranian demands,” and the Americans understand that Israel views the issue as a nonstarter.
During the cabinet meeting, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich argued that if Iran fired at Israel, Israel should respond forcefully in Lebanon rather than inside Iran. His reasoning, according to officials familiar with the discussion, was that Iran is Trump’s arena because the U.S. president led the campaign and negotiations against Tehran. Lebanon, by contrast, is Israel’s immediate security arena.
Under that approach, Israel would avoid being blamed for sabotaging Trump’s deal by striking inside Iran, while still preserving its freedom of action against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
But ministers said Lebanon is different. Israel is fighting Hezbollah there, paying a price and defending the security of residents in northern Israel. Officials said Israel cannot return to the reality before the October 7 attack, when it says its hands were tied while threats built up along its borders.
According to officials, Smotrich said that if Iran tried to create a link between Lebanon and Iran, Israel should “match and raise.” He proposed warning residents of the Beqaa Valley, a major Hezbollah area in eastern Lebanon, that if Iran fired at Israel, they would have one hour to evacuate before the IDF struck dozens of targets there.
The idea, officials said, was to place heavy pressure on Hezbollah from within Lebanon’s Shiite community, while also making it harder for Trump to break with Israel. Israel would be signaling that it was trying not to harm his Iran agreement by avoiding strikes inside Iran, but would still reject any attempt to restrict its actions in Lebanon.
Another argument raised in the meeting was that strikes in Lebanon are easier, cheaper and more accessible than strikes in Iran. “Five minutes of flight instead of four hours,” one official said.
Supporters of the Lebanon option also argued that every strike there would be “two for the price of one”: a message of deterrence to Iran and a chance to damage Hezbollah in a way that could shape security along Israel’s northern border for years.
Smotrich was the main minister pushing that line, but several senior security officials supported his position, according to Israeli officials. They said other ministers competed over who would demand a stronger strike inside Iran, even though it was clear Netanyahu was unlikely to approve attacks above a certain threshold because that could trigger a serious rupture with Trump.
“We must not tear the rope with Trump, but the responses must be clear. If we respond, we must create deterrence,” Minister Eli Cohen said.
Minister Gila Gamliel said Israel should respond and “capture more territory from them.” Minister Orit Strock thanked Netanyahu for “standing the test,” and said Israel should impose a price that would make further attacks not worthwhile.
Transportation Minister Miri Regev said Israel was “not a protectorate” and must “stop the ping-pong and get out of the equation.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for an uncompromising response. “In the Middle East, you have to be the village madman,” he said. “Not a balanced response and not a measured response. Any fire at Israel is a declaration of war against us, and we must respond disproportionately.”

"I think what people appreciate less [is] there was a lot of sanctioned crude oil on the water. In other words, unsold," Chapman said. "Iranian, Venezuelan, Russian crude and that has now gone to the market, and that's mitigated some of the loss of oil through the Strait of Hormuz," according to CNBC.
The Venezuela dimension is particularly relevant. ExxonMobil has been assessing a potential return to Venezuelan operations, with teams now on the ground in the country for the first time in roughly two decades.
Chapman said the resource is substantial but cautioned that any decision on whether Venezuela can compete for capital in ExxonMobil's portfolio will take time. The country's current output is approximately 800,000 barrels per day against a peak of more than 3 million, according to the Bernstein conference transcript.
What the Strait of Hormuz closure means for oil and the economy
The Strait of Hormuz normally carries roughly 20% of the world's oil supply every day. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Iran all rely on it to reach global buyers.
Since the Iran war began in late February, tanker traffic through the strait has fallen to less than 10% of normal vessel flows.
The Saudis have partially compensated by running their East-West pipeline at full capacity, pushing 5 million barrels per day of crude from the Gulf to the Red Sea for export to global markets. But that workaround has limits, and the cumulative loss from the region has already topped 1 billion barrels since the conflict began, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
For the broader economy, the consequences of a price move to $150-$160 per barrel would be direct and wide-ranging. Airlines and shipping companies face immediate cost pressure. Gasoline and diesel prices at the consumer level rise within weeks of a crude spike.
Manufacturers carrying elevated input costs reduce investment. Central banks watching inflation reaccelerate face pressure to delay rate cuts or tighten further, compressing economic growth at a moment when rate uncertainty is already elevated.
Key figures on the oil supply crunch and its economic implications:
Global oil supply fell to 95.1 million barrels per day in April 2026, down 12.8 million barrels per day since the Iran war began in February; Gulf output disrupted by the Hormuz closure has run more than 14 million barrels per day below pre-war levels; cumulative supply losses from the region have already exceeded 1 billion barrels, according to the IEA.
ExxonMobil has direct exposure to the conflict: two LNG trains at a joint venture facility with QatarEnergy in Qatar sustained damage during the conflict, representing approximately 3% of ExxonMobil's total global production; QatarEnergy has estimated the repair timeline at three to five years, according to CNBC.
ExxonMobil's energy products segment earned $2.8 billion in Q1 2026, up roughly $2 billion from the same period a year ago; Gulf Coast refineries ran at record utilization rates; refinery output increased by 200,000 barrels per day in March compared to February, as the company leveraged its U.S. refining position to capture the Hormuz premium, CNBC confirmed.
The IEA expects global oil demand to shrink by 420,000 barrels per day in 2026 as higher prices reduce driving and flying; Chapman acknowledged that demand destruction is how the market self-corrects when prices reach the $150-$160 range, describing it as the natural ceiling for the current spike, according to CNBC,
Woods warned of a 1- to 2-month lag between a Hormuz reopening and the restoration of normal supply flows; even if the strait reopens, the drawdown of inventories means prices will remain elevated for weeks after the physical supply resumes, CNBC reported.
What a $150 oil shock means for the economy and consumers
A move to $150-$160 per barrel would be one of the most significant energy price events in decades, and its effects on the U.S. economy would be felt well before any quarterly GDP report captures them. Gasoline prices at the pump typically follow crude moves within two to four weeks. A $70 rise in Brent from current levels would push regular unleaded toward $6 per gallon in many US markets, consuming a meaningful share of disposable income at a moment when consumer spending is already showing signs of strain.
The transmission from energy prices to the rest of the economy is well established. Airlines pass fuel surcharges to travelers within weeks. Trucking companies add fuel levies to shipping rates, flowing into the price of groceries and manufactured products.
Each of those channels feeds back into consumer prices, which is why energy shocks of this magnitude historically produce measurable inflation effects within one to two quarters.
That inflation dynamic creates a direct problem for the Federal Reserve. Markets are currently pricing in rate cuts later this year. A sustained oil price spike that reaccelerates headline inflation gives the Fed cover to delay those cuts.
Sustained higher rates slow business investment, increase mortgage costs, and compress consumer credit. The economic consequence is not simply higher gas prices. It is a tighter financial environment arriving at a time when the economy is already navigating trade policy uncertainty and a softening labor market.
For investors, the energy sector stands to benefit directly from the price spike Chapman is describing. But the knock-on effects for technology stocks, consumer discretionary names, and rate-sensitive sectors run in the opposite direction.
The Strait of Hormuz is not just an energy story. It is the variable that could reshape the macroeconomic backdrop for the rest of 2026.

Russia’s New Warning Shot From Space
Posted Jun 15, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
For years, politicians have been obsessed with tanks, artillery, missiles, and troop counts while the real battlefield has quietly moved into space. The latest reports suggesting that Russian satellites may be capable of disrupting GPS signals on a continental scale should be sending shockwaves through military circles. If these findings prove accurate, then we are looking at a capability that extends far beyond simply making a driver’s navigation system malfunction. GPS is embedded in aviation, shipping, banking, telecommunications, emergency services, power grids, financial transactions, military operations, and virtually every aspect of modern infrastructure.
According to researchers, dozens of GPS interference events detected across Europe since 2019 may have originated from Russia’s EKS satellite constellation. These satellites were originally designed as part of Russia’s missile early-warning system, but testing suggests they may also possess the ability to transmit powerful signals capable of disrupting GPS reception across vast regions. The significance is not whether a disruption lasts a few seconds or a few minutes. The significance is proving the concept works. Once a nation demonstrates it can interfere with navigation systems from orbit, the entire strategic equation changes.
What many fail to appreciate is how dependent modern warfare has become on satellite navigation. Precision-guided weapons rely on GPS. Drones rely on GPS. Aircraft, ships, logistics networks, battlefield communications, and intelligence systems all depend on accurate positioning data. Remove that capability and armies suddenly find themselves operating under conditions that resemble an entirely different century. During the Ukraine conflict, both sides have aggressively pursued electronic warfare, jamming systems, and signal disruption technologies. What appears to be emerging now is the possibility of extending those capabilities far beyond localized battlefields and into continental-scale operations.
Researchers from the University of Texas and Stanford University have linked mysterious GPS interference across Europe to a group of Russian satellites. The research was carried out by Todd Humphreys and Zach
Financial markets depend on precise timing synchronization. Cellular networks require timing signals to coordinate traffic. Shipping companies use satellite navigation to move trillions of dollars worth of goods annually. Airlines depend on navigation systems to safely manage thousands of flights every day. Even modern agriculture relies heavily on GPS-guided equipment. The public views GPS as a convenience. Governments and corporations know it has become a critical piece of economic infrastructure.
This development also highlights something I have warned about repeatedly. The next major conflict will not resemble the wars of the twentieth century. Future wars will target infrastructure before populations even realize an attack has occurred. A cyberattack can disable communications. A satellite disruption can interfere with transportation networks. Financial systems can be disrupted electronically. Power grids can be targeted remotely. The battlefield increasingly consists of networks, satellites, data centers, and communications systems rather than simply soldiers crossing borders.
Researchers from the University of Texas and Stanford University have linked a series of mysterious GPS interference events across Europe to Russia's EKS early-warning satellite constellation. By analyzing years of data, the timing is noteworthy. We are entering the most dangerous phase of the geopolitical cycle. The 2026 Panic Cycle year has already begun exposing vulnerabilities across the global system. Relations between Russia and NATO remain strained. The United States and China are engaged in a rapidly escalating technological competition. Military spending is rising globally. Governments everywhere are preparing for contingencies that most citizens never consider. Space is no longer a peaceful frontier. It has become a strategic domain where the major powers are competing for dominance.
What should concern policymakers is not merely that Russia may possess this capability. The real question is how many nations are developing similar systems. The United States, China, Russia, and other powers have invested heavily in electronic warfare, anti-satellite technology, cyberwarfare, and space-based military assets. Every major power understands that controlling information, communications, and navigation systems may prove more decisive than controlling territory itself.

Senator Blackburn Demands Kik Verify the Age of Every User
It's the newest entry in a Senate catalog of child-safety bills that double as the scaffolding for a digital-ID internet.
Senator Marsha Blackburn wants video platform Kik to verify the age of everyone who signs up and there is no way to do that without first identifying everyone who signs up.
Kik runs on usernames instead of phone numbers, so confirming that a user is over 18 risks attaching that account to a real person.
The Tennessee Republican sent the demand to MediaLab CEO Michael Heyward on June 12 and gave the company until June 19 to answer a list of questions about how it screens its users.
We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.
Blackburn’s letter follows a report from the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, which created a fake test account posing as a 12-year-old girl under the username “Im12BeNice.”
The group alleges the account drew sexually explicit messages and nude images from adult strangers “within seconds,” even with Kik’s explicit-content filter switched on.
NCOSE Executive Director Haley McNamara said the test “indicates that the platform fails to protect children and remains a ‘predator’s paradise.'”
Blackburn’s letter points to recent prosecutions, including a repeat offender sentenced on May 20 to 15 years for sharing child sexual abuse material on Kik, a man who pleaded guilty the same day to forcing a child to produce such material, and a former teacher arrested in March for uploading it.
Blackburn accused Kik of running the same script as other platforms, advertising safety while ignoring or enabling abuse. “Children are being abused on your platform, and it appears you are doing little to stop it,” she wrote.
If the abuse the report documents is real, a system that ignored an account openly labeled as a child is an issue. The fix Blackburn is reaching for though does something the original problem does not. It forces every adult on Kik to identify themselves in order to keep talking and fits right into Blackburn’s overall agenda.
Blackburn’s legislative record is a growing stack of bills that use child safety and copyright protection to build surveillance and censorship tools.
Her TRUMP AMERICA AI Act, a 291-page draft introduced in March, would repeal Section 230 entirely, expose platforms and AI developers to open-ended liability for “reasonably foreseeable harms,” and fold KOSA’s age-verification mandates into a single federal framework enforced by the FTC, DOJ, and state attorneys general.
Without Section 230’s protections, platforms face lawsuits for hosting user speech and the rational business response is to remove anything that might attract one.
She also co-sponsored the Block BEARD Act, which would give federal courts the power to order ISPs, search engines, and potentially VPNs to block entire foreign websites accused of piracy, a site-blocking authority the US government has never held at that scale.
The child-safety framing on Kik is one piece of a broader push toward an internet where users carry digital IDs, platforms pre-screen speech to avoid liability, and the government can make websites disappear by court order.
Blackburn signs the letter as chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law. She is also leading negotiations with the White House over a package that would trade limits on state regulation of artificial intelligence for a set of kids-safety bills, among them her Kids Online Safety Act and a federal age-verification requirement that lawmakers and the technology industry have fought over for years.
KOSA aims at general social media, which is exactly the ground the Paxton ruling left unsettled, so the constitutional fight that decision postponed is the one this package would start.

Biden and Becerra’s Border Policies Enabled the Largest Child Trafficking Operation in American History
by Patty Atwood June 15, 2026
in Opinions, OriginalThe Biden administration’s open-border experiment was sold as an act of compassion. In reality, it unleashed a humanitarian catastrophe on a scale few dared to imagine: the systematic disappearance of hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children into the hands of traffickers, exploiters, and worse.
US law demands that federal authorities carefully vet sponsors and track these vulnerable minors until they appear in immigration court. Yet under President Joe Biden and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, that system was deliberately dismantled in favor of speed over safety.
The result? A quarter-million children largely vanished from oversight, fueling what amounts to the largest child trafficking enterprise this nation has ever witnessed.
Becerra, now eyeing the California governor’s mansion, oversaw the Office of Refugee Resettlement charged with protecting these children. Instead of rigorous vetting, his department embraced an “assembly line” approach, rushing placements with minimal checks. Internal warnings about rising labor trafficking were ignored.
“Super sponsors” — criminals using fake identities to claim multiple unrelated children — operated with impunity. Addresses were reused across cases while sponsors ghosted follow-up calls.
Many of these children, often orphaned or abandoned from Central and South America, ended up in brutal factory jobs, meat-processing plants, or construction sites. Others, particularly young girls, were funneled into sex trafficking networks servicing America’s cities. The very officials who once wept over temporary holding facilities — derided as “kids in cages” — remained silent as real slavery took root across sanctuary jurisdictions.
This was not mere bureaucratic incompetence. It was the predictable consequence of a policy that prioritized political optics and volume over child welfare. Biden’s reversal of Trump-era border controls sent a clear signal: come in droves. His administration then shrugged off its legal responsibility to protect those who arrived. Reports of exploitation piled up, yet the machine kept moving children out the door as quickly as possible.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has begun indicting some of the worst offenders, revealing tens of thousands of suspicious sponsor addresses overlooked during the Biden years. Yet accountability for those at the top remains elusive. Becerra and his former boss continue their public lives — one writing books, the other campaigning — while the human cost mounts.
The irony cuts deep. Progressive politicians and media spent years condemning border enforcement as cruelty. They manufactured outrage over basic detention facilities equipped with education and recreation. Yet when thousands of migrant children were pressed into modern-day servitude — working dangerous jobs or sold for sex — the same voices fell mute.
Protecting children, it seems, only mattered when it scored political points against conservatives.
Scripture warns of the severe judgment awaiting those who harm the innocent. As the prophet Isaiah declared, “Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!” (Isaiah 10:1-2).
The exploitation of these fatherless migrant children stands as a damning indictment of a policy that placed ideology above the most basic duty to protect the vulnerable.
As Becerra seeks higher office in California, voters deserve straight answers, not deflection. What became of the children lost on his watch? How many remain trapped in exploitation because federal authorities chose not to track them? The families devastated and the young lives ruined demand more than shrugs from those responsible.
This scandal exposes the deadly gap between progressive rhetoric on compassion and the grim reality their policies produced. True justice requires not only rescuing the victims still suffering but holding accountable those whose negligence turned America’s southern border into a gateway for child traffickers. The American people, and especially the children betrayed by their government, are still waiting for that reckoning.

‘These injection injuries are real’: U.S. senator demands COVID-shot injuries be given disease classification
A U.S. senator is demanding that the COVID-19 shot injuries suffered by so many people during and after the pandemic involving the China virus be given a disease classification.
That’s so that insurance companies and doctors have the proper process for patient harms to be reimbursed.
In a report at Just the News, said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., “Trump’s [Department of Health and Human Services] has to acknowledge that these injection injuries are real. They’ve got to create an ICD code so the doctors can get reimbursed.”
Such systems are required by insurance companies to verify the necessity and appropriateness of medical treatments and to provide for reimbursement.
They also, the report said, provide for a standardized framework worldwide for recording causes of medical issues.
The shots, actually DNA treatments and not vaccines at all, were linked almost immediately to a wide range of side effects, including heart problems, that resulted in many deaths.
His call for action follows an investigation of 11 million pages of COVID-19 vaccine surveillance data, which prompted Senate hearings by the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
Johnson also has presented evidence suggesting that the administration of Joe Biden “hid safety signals and led to thousands of adverse events and death,” the report said.
Those injections did not go through the ordinary testing that new medications have, being authoritized for use by the Food and Drug Administration under the Emergency Use Authorizations.
Johnson explained, “These are not vaccines. These things, mRNA, used to be classified as gene therapy because they are gene therapy.”
Johnson explained as soon as those injections were being delivered, often forced under government and corporation requirements, the FDA immediate was “inundated” with reports of suidden death.
In fact, the report said, Dr. Ana Szarfman, an FDA biostatistician who worked on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System’s interaction with COVID, had warned FDA official Peter Marks its flawed algorithm was masking safety signals.
Among the side effects found, actually, were “cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, Bell’s palsy, and various types of strokes,” the report said.
Johnson said that failed algorithm, which hides problems, remains in use.
“This is why I say this is the biggest government scandal in my lifetime, because had people known, had doctors been made aware, had the news big media been made aware, members of Congress been made aware, would we push the shot on everybody?”
Some 1.7 million adverse events, including 39,000 deaths, were reported to VAERS, one quarter happening within a day or two of the shots.
And, Johnson, said, “we found out later that the vaccine didn’t stop transmission.”
The American Medical Association continues to claim the COVID-19 shots are safe and effective.

While Trump initially said the US "must respond" to the incident, he later appeared to downplay its significance, telling The Wall Street Journal that it "wasn't a big deal" and emphasizing that "the pilot is fine." Both crew members were rescued unharmed. The US military said the latest strikes were a proportional response to Iranian actions, marking a further escalation in already heightened regional tensions.

Washington’s $186 Billion “Mistake” Isn’t a Mistake
by Demetrius Gardner
June 9, 2026in Opinions, Original
Reading Time: 2 mins read
They want you to believe it’s incompetence. It isn’t. The federal government’s “improper payments” are the clearest proof yet that the Swamp doesn’t just waste your money — it runs on it.
This week the GAO admitted the feds pushed out an estimated $186 billion in improper payments in fiscal year 2025 — and that’s only the part they can measure. As PJ Media laid out, more than half of all federal spending can’t even be traced to confirm it reached the right recipient. Read that again: trillions move through Washington every year, and nobody can say with certainty where it went.
The rot isn’t hiding in the shadows — it’s baked into the programs. Citizens Against Government Waste reports that roughly 6.2 million Obamacare enrollments this year — about 27% of all ACA sign-ups — were improper, costing up to $25 billion in subsidies. Add business loans handed to “entrepreneurs” as young as 11 and unemployment checks mailed to infants and people listed as 115 years old, and you stop seeing a glitch. You see a machine that feeds itself.
To their credit, House Republicans are finally swinging the axe. The National Taxpayers Union is pushing a stack of bills aimed straight at the rot — Rep. Comer’s Pre-Payment Fraud Prevention and Treasury Data Access Act, Rep. Self’s Federal Program Integrity and Fraud Prevention Act, Rep. Palmer’s ZOMBIE Act, and Rep. Biggs’ TRUE Accountability Act.
Good. But don’t go lukewarm on me. This didn’t grow overnight, and it didn’t grow under one party. Both sides of the aisle built and guarded this machine for decades, because the money flows to the right friends — the contractors, the NGOs, the activist outfits that vote the way the donor class wants. Every “improper payment” is somebody’s paycheck, and that somebody has a lobbyist.
Here’s the truth underneath the spreadsheet: a government that can’t account for half of what it spends has stopped serving the people and started feeding itself. Scripture doesn’t blink at this — “The wicked worketh a deceitful work” (Proverbs 11:18, KJV) — and there is nothing more deceitful than dressing up theft as bureaucracy and calling fraud a rounding error.
The mask is off. The question isn’t whether Washington wastes your money. It’s whether the men finally holding the axe will swing hard enough to sever the hand that’s been feeding itself — or whether these bills become one more press release that changes nothing.
Watch the votes. Names matter. So does follow-through.

The Purchasing Power Of The Dollar Has Collapsed And The Majority Of The Population No Longer Believes In The American Dream
June 9, 2026 by Michael
Did you know that the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has fallen by more than 97 percent since 1913? Sadly, as you will see below, the decline in the purchasing power of our currency appears to have greatly accelerated in recent years. Thanks to the rising cost of living, most Americans have lost faith in the American Dream. In fact, a new survey that was just released discovered that 51 percent of us believe that the American Dream is now out of reach for most people…
Just over half of Americans say the American Dream is out of reach for most people right now, according to a new CNBC and SurveyMonkey American Dream Pulse Survey.
Roughly 45% of respondents said the American Dream is only achievable for some people, and 6% said it’s not in reach for anyone, according to a study of 4,130 U.S. adults, conducted May 6 to 11.
I was stunned when I read that.
For decades, people have been moving to this country because they want to live the American Dream.
But now the majority of the U.S. population no longer believes that most of us will be able to achieve it.
Today, we have more money than ever.
So what’s the problem?
The problem is that the cost of living has been rising very rapidly. The same survey that I referenced above found that approximately 80 percent of us think that the cost of living is one of the primary obstacles to achieving the American Dream…
Roughly four in five survey respondents identified cost of living as one of their biggest financial hurdles to achieving the American Dream. Three in five cited housing prices, almost half pointed to healthcare costs and nearly as many blamed low wages.
For years, I warned that the decisions that our leaders were making would result in very painful inflation.
Unfortunately, that is precisely what occurred.
According to Brownstone Institute President Jeffrey A. Tucker, the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has fallen by close to 50 percent since the beginning of the COVID lockdowns…
Think about the implications. Isolating from the beginning of the Covid period to the present, Elliott’s data estimates as much as a 40% loss in purchasing power over six years. Or perhaps closer to 50%. Here is a zoom in of the above chart covering 2019 to the present.
This seems correct to me. Government data, meanwhile, logs only a 26% loss. That’s a massive gap between the official data and what prices actually reveal. With an AI re-rendering that tracks purchasing power – the flipside of the increase of prices – we get numbers closer to 50%. That means that Covid cut the value of the dollar in terms of goods and services to half its former value.
I believe that his analysis is quite accurate.
There are some things that I regularly purchase at the grocery store that have more than doubled in price since the start of this decade.
Of course the slow death of the U.S. dollar has been going on for a very long time.
Using very conservative numbers, the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has dropped by more than 97 percent since the Federal Reserve was established in 1913…
$100 in 1913 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $3,363.84 today, an increase of $3,263.84 over 113 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.16% per year between 1913 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 3,263.84%.
This means that today’s prices are 33.64 times as high as average prices since 1913, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 2.973% of what it could buy back then.
This is one of the reasons why I rant so much about the Federal Reserve.
The way that our system has been designed is fundamentally flawed and the Federal Reserve needs to be abolished.
But that isn’t going to happen, is it?
We are just going to continue going down the same old road, and consumers will continue to suffer.
The CEO of Kraft Heinz recently admitted that U.S. consumers are “literally running out of money at the end of the month”…
Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:HKC) CEO Steve Cahillane recently offered one of the bluntest assessments yet.
“They’re literally running out of money at the end of the month,” Cahillane said in a recent interview (1). “We’re seeing negative cash flows in the lower-income brackets where they’re dipping into savings.”
The company behind brands like Heinz, Kraft and Philadelphia is now cutting prices (2) on some products that had grown too expensive, increasing promotions and rolling out smaller package sizes at lower price points.
Cahillane said that the industry has endured years of “volume degradation” because consumers had to absorb “too much price.” Another inflation shock, he warned, is the last thing households need.
Many U.S. households are now permanently in a state of financial crisis.
When your bank account is constantly near zero, it can be absolutely soul crushing.
But that is where most of the U.S. population exists today.
As a result, Americans are using buy now, pay later platforms to purchase gas and groceries more than ever before…
Americans have run their credit cards to the limit. Now they’ve turned to buy-now-pay-later plans to buy gas and groceries.
This is yet more evidence that American consumers are broke, stressed, and buried in debt as inflation steals their purchasing power.
Buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) platforms allow users to purchase items by paying several smaller installments (typically around 4) over time.
Block operates the Afterpay BNPL platform. The system was originally set up to provide short-term financing for bigger purchases. But according to company data, usage is expanding into everyday spending categories. The average customer used Afterpay to purchase gas 3.6 times and groceries 2.2 times between Feb. 4 and May 15.
Most U.S. households are just one accident or emergency away from financial disaster.
Living on the edge can be very stressful.
Sadly, the number of Americans that are falling over the edge and into bankruptcy just continues to rise…
Total U.S. bankruptcy filings, which include filings made by both businesses and individuals, rose by 7 percent in May on a year-to-year basis.
Individual bankruptcy filings rose by 8 percent during the one-year period. While overall commercial filings were down marginally by 0.1 percent, bankruptcy filings made by small businesses jumped 36 percent, according to a June 5 statement from the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI).
“The May data reflects a continued but measured uptick in bankruptcy activity, particularly among small businesses,” said Michael Hunter, vice president of Epiq AACER, the company that provided the bankruptcy data.
The top one percent controls about a third of all wealth in this country now.
Meanwhile, the vast majority of the rest of us are really struggling, and Americans are not particularly optimistic about the future…
Roughly 48% of Americans said their financial situation was worse in May than a year ago, the highest share since January 2023, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Survey of Consumer Expectations.
Consumers are also less optimistic about the future. The share of households expecting their finances to improve over the next year, relative to those expecting them to worsen, fell to its lowest level since October 2022, the New York Fed said.
If you are really struggling because of the rapidly rising cost of living, I want you to know that you are not alone.
There are millions upon millions of others that are in the exact same boat.
Decades of very foolish decisions have brought us to this point, and there is no easy fix.
So hold on tight, because all of us are just going to have to do the best that we can to survive in this very difficult economic environment.

Arizona faces 77% cut in share of Colorado River as states remain deadlocked over water allocation
by Marcus Reichley June 9, 2026
WASHINGTON – An ongoing deadlock between the seven states that rely on the Colorado River may have dire consequences for Arizona.
A lack of agreement between the Upper and Lower Basin states would mean the federal government imposes its own plan for reallocating the water over the next 10 years – a plan that could mean cuts up to 77% for Arizona.
No other state faces such severe cuts under the “no deal” federal proposal. Nevada would see its share of the river reduced by 6%. The other five states would see no change.
For obvious reasons, Arizona has been scrambling to find an alternative.
A May 1 proposal offered by Arizona, California and Nevada calls for spreading reductions among the Lower Basin states over the next three years. The plan emphasizes voluntary cuts, and states could receive compensation from the federal government for conservation efforts.
Tom Buschatzke, director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources, said the Lower Basin states believe their proposal respects the laws and compacts that have long governed how the river is shared while also taking into account the current scarcity.
“We looked at how Lake Powell and Lake Mead would be impacted from an elevation standpoint and tried to cover as many hydrologic scenarios as possible,” he said. “It’s not a guarantee, but it’s a robust level of protection.”
The Upper Basin states – Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming – rejected that proposal, arguing that it doesn’t reflect actual snowpack.
Those states say that both the federal and Lower Basin proposals would threaten the river’s viability and drain Lake Mead and Lake Powell to a point of catastrophic failure.
“We … have depleted the storage in those reservoirs to the brink of being empty,” said Chuck Cullom, executive director of the Upper Colorado River Commission. “We are overspending our bank account and the bank account is almost empty. So, legal theories, everyone has one. Math is indisputable.”
The one thing all states agree on is that decades of drought have pushed water levels to dangerously low levels even as demand and population grow.
“In my 25 years on the Colorado River, I haven’t seen things this bad. … We have 19th century law, 20th century infrastructure and 21st century hydrology and water demand – and it’s not lining up very well,” said Jennifer Pitt, Colorado River program director for the National Audubon Society.
The mention of 21st century hydrology refers to the decades-long megadrought afflicting the Western states that threatens to permanently alter the region’s ecosystem, disrupt the economy and disable power generation capabilities for two of the country’s most vital pieces of infrastructure: the Glen Canyon and Hoover dams.
On Wednesday, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources will hold an oversight hearing on the status of negotiations.
Risk of ‘dead pool’
The Bureau of Reclamation, part of the Department of the Interior, announced May 21 that it will spend $52 million for new turbines at Hoover Dam – turbines better suited to the historically low levels of Lake Mead.
Lake Mead dropped to 1,041 feet above sea level in 2022. That’s the lowest since it first reached capacity in 1941, five years after Hoover Dam opened. The highest it’s ever been was 1,225 feet in 1983 due to a massive snowmelt. The volume was so great, engineers needed to open the dam’s spillways for the first and only time.
As of June, the lake stood at 1,048 feet. At 895 feet, it would hit “dead pool” status, which means the water is too low to flow downstream and the dam can no longer produce electricity.
Like Lake Mead, Lake Powell has experienced a steady decline since 2000, when water elevation behind the Glen Canyon Dam was approximately 3,680 feet above sea level.
That reservoir hit 3,522 feet, its all-time low, in February 2023. It is now at 3,527 feet – more than 170 feet below full capacity.
Dead pool for Lake Powell would occur at 3,370 feet.
How does Arizona get its water?
Arizona gets 36% of its water from the Colorado River, 41% from groundwater, 18% from in-state rivers and 5% from reclaimed water, according to the Arizona Department of Water Resources.
Arizona’s share of the Colorado River comes from water released from the Glen Canyon and Hoover dams.
One of Arizona’s arguments is that the Upper Basin states can tap into the river before the water even reaches Lake Powell.
What makes the situation more alarming for Arizona is the rapid depletion of its groundwater.
Between 2002 and 2024, the aquifers in the Colorado River Basin lost about 27.8 million acre-feet of groundwater, according to NASA satellite observations. That’s enough to cover 27.8 million acres of land with water 1 foot deep. And the underground reservoirs continue to decline.
The combination of dwindling supply from the river and the aquifers puts Arizona’s water security and food production at a great risk within the next decade, according to the NASA researchers.
How we got here and what’s next?
The current allocation among the seven states dates to 2007, when they cut a deal for water use that would last 19 years. The deal, which included the federal government, expires at the end of 2026.
The Bureau of Reclamation gave the states until November 2025 to present an updated deal.
When the states were unable to come to terms, the bureau issued a set of five alternative plans in January. Those plans triggered a flood of pushback, especially in Arizona.
A White House meeting in January attended by Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and governors of other Colorado River states failed to yield a breakthrough.
The Bureau of Reclamation intends to release an updated plan for water allocation by mid-July, with final guidelines coming in August.
Pitt isn’t optimistic about an end to the stalemate.
The most recent winter was especially dry. And “with the states poised to be fighting each other,” she said, “they don’t really have the time to be thinking about environmental concerns. They’re preoccupied with how to protect and do their jobs for their water users,” she said.
Court fights not off the table
Buschatzke cited the Colorado River Compact of 1922, which gave the Upper and Lower Basin states 7.5 million acre-feet each, asserting the Upper Basin is still obligated to release enough water to satisfy that deal.
A century ago, there were 18 million acre-feet available. Last year’s supply was just 8.5 million acre-feet, according to Bureau of Reclamation data.
The compact is a cornerstone of the Law of the River, a set of laws, treaties, compacts and court decisions dating to 1922 that dictate how much water those states and Mexico can draw.
Many experts say the Law of the River contains guidelines that have become outdated in an era of unforeseen climate change.
Upper Basin states maintain that they are not obligated to release as much water as the Lower Basin wants under the 1922 compact.
Cullom’s May 22 letter addresses some of the legal disputes and asserts that the Lower Basin proposal would not adequately protect the reservoirs.
Both sides say they are prepared to go to court.
“I believe Tom and I believe Governor Hobbs when they threaten litigation,” Cullom said. “At the same time, it doesn’t provide incentive to reach compromise on operations if one side is asserting there’s only one way to solve a problem.”

Half Of Americans Now Afraid They’ll Lose Their Jobs To AI
Half of Americans are now afraid that the ongoing artificial intelligence boom could leave them or someone in their household unemployed, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday.
The newly released poll shows that 53% of Americans were concerned that AI would replace jobs in their household. The survey also found that 61% of Democrats and 47% of Republicans were worried about losing jobs to AI.
Jennifer Schalhoub, a 62-year-old freelance writer in Little Ferry, New Jersey, said that she recently lost her employment, which she believes was partly caused by AI, Reuters reported.
“AI is taking over because people care less and less about the quality of the work that gets produced,” Schalhoub said, according to the outlet.
The survey also suggests U.S. college graduates utilize AI tools more, with 50% saying they use it on a regular basis. By comparison, 34% of people without degrees said they use it regularly, while 40% of respondents overall said the same, the poll found.
The poll’s release comes as concerns over AI potentially replacing human jobs have been rising over the years. AI is poised to significantly disrupt the nation’s labor market, analysts previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The U.S. Technology sector announced 38,242 job cuts in May, marking the highest monthly total for the industry since August 2024, a May report from outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas found. Technology is currently the leading job cutter of 2026 by a notable margin, per the report.
“The labor market is being reshaped by technology in real time,” Challenger said in a statement. “AI is now the leading reason companies give for cutting jobs and the primary industry citing it is Technology. Technology, already the year’s biggest job cutter, saw its steepest cuts since early 2023, even as it remains the sector with the most hiring plans this year.”
Though, proponents of AI have touted how the technology can help drive economic growth across the nation.
Many Americans have been struggling to find new jobs and grappling with slow hiring in recent years.
Total nonfarm payrolls rose by 172,000 in May, while the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.3%, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported on June 5. The total number of long-term unemployed people changed little on a monthly basis in May at 2.0 million, but is up by 524,000 over the year, according to the BLS.
The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 4,531 U.S. adults nationwide. The poll’s results had a margin of error of 2 percentage points in either direction.

‘Odd’ Gulf of Mexico earthquake rattles Florida and Cuba
This earthquake may be among the biggest in the Gulf of Mexico’s history
By Jackie Flynn Mogensen edited by Claire Cameron June 8, 2026
A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck off the coast of Cuba in the Gulf of Mexico on Monday, with "reports of shaking across Southwestern Florida," according to a social media post from the National Weather Service’s (NWS’s) Miami office.
The quake occurred 104 kilometers (about 65 miles) northwest of Mantua, Cuba, says Robert Garcia, a warning coordination meteorologist at the NWS Miami office. It occurred at about 2 P.M. EDT and at a depth of 26 kilometers (around 16 miles) below the surface. “We have not heard any reports of damage in South Florida,” Garcia says. There is no threat of a tsunami from the earthquake at this time.
Jeff Berardelli, chief meteorologist at an NBC affiliate station in Tampa, Fla., posted on Bluesky that the earthquake was among the biggest in the Gulf of Mexico’s history. A 1959 earthquake of around magnitude 6.4 that struck near Veracruz, Mexico, is likely the “strongest known” earthquake ever recorded in the Gulf, Berardelli wrote.

This earthquake is “odd” because it occurred in the interior of a tectonic plate, not along the edge—which is rare but not unheard of, says Wendy Bohon, an independent earthquake geologist. “This quake is in a somewhat unusual spot, and it’s pretty large,” she says, adding that no earthquakes beyond magnitude 5.0 have been recorded within 250 kilometers of this quake.
Much like the “Ring of Fire” in the Pacific, the Caribbean has its own smaller “ring” of earthquake activity, adds Susan Hough, a seismologist at the U.S. Geological Survey. That boundary generated the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, for example. But Monday’s earthquake happened away from that boundary, Hough says, something that may warrant further investigation from scientists.
The quake struck on the same day as a separate magnitude 7.8 earthquake off the coast of the Philippines. The latter temblor occurred in a subduction zone; such regions are capable of producing the strongest earthquakes possible.

“Everything Is Fine”: The Skeptics Mock As Plagues And Disasters Erupt All Around Us
June 8, 2026 by Michael
No matter how bad things get, some skeptics will simply never admit that what we are experiencing is unusual. We live at a time of seemingly endless wars, growing global hunger, alarming outbreaks of disease and constant natural disasters, but they just keep telling us that everything is fine. Russia and Ukraine are absolutely pummeling one another, Iran and Israel are firing ballistic missiles at each other, and we are facing severe shortages of oil and natural gas in the months ahead. Meanwhile, global food production will be way down this year thanks to a historic fertilizer crisis, unprecedented drought and a “Godzilla El Ni
ño” that is on the way. I just don’t understand how some people can be so cavalier about all of this.Everything is being shaken, and that includes the ground underneath our feet.
Less than 24 hours ago, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake absolutely rocked the Philippines…
At least 32 people have died after a powerful earthquake struck an island in the Philippines, causing landslides and buildings to collapse into rubble.
Eyewitnesses on Mindanao in the south of the country said people rushed out their houses into the streets for safety as the ground shook, while footage of a school in Digos showed young children screaming as the earthquake causes an outdoor structure to collapse.
The magnitude 7.8 earthquake also triggered tsunami waves exceeding a metre that impacted nearby coastlines.
This was an immensely destructive quake, and there was a tremendous amount of panic as numerous large buildings suddenly collapsed…
Of course most of us will have totally forgotten about this disaster by tomorrow because the news cycle will be feeding us lots of new things to focus on.
But one of these days “the Big One” will hit the west coast of the United States.
In fact, scientists have determined that the amount of tectonic stress that has built up in Southern California is at the highest level ever recorded…
Since the last major earthquake to affect the wider Los Angeles region, the Fort Tejon earthquake of 1857, with a magnitude of 7.9, tectonic stress along the fault segments has built up continuously during a prolonged quiet period that has long concerned researchers, given the potential for a large future rupture.
In a new study led by Dr. Liliane Burkhard of the Division of Space Research and Planetary Sciences (WP) at the Physics Institute of the University of Bern, an international research team modeled 1,000 years of earthquake history along the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems to estimate the present-day stress loading at Cajon Pass. Researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at M
ānoa, the U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Science Center in Pasadena, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego were involved.The results show that tectonic stresses in the region have reached and, in some cases, exceeded the highest levels of the last millennium.
I am convinced that earthquakes will be a major theme over the next 12 months, and I am also convinced that volcanic eruptions will be a major theme as well.
Right now, 41 volcanoes are currently erupting around the world.
But the skeptics insist that there is nothing to be concerned about.
They are also telling us that we will get through the global energy crisis just fine too even though the “absolute operational minimum floor for the global oil system” will be hit just a few short months from now…
The absolute operational minimum floor for the global oil system is estimated to be about 6.8 billion barrels. Below that, the system will simply not function. On our current trajectory, the world will reach that point in September, if not before. It turns out there really weren’t 8.5 billion barrels of available oil inventories across the world at the beginning of the war, only 8.5 billion minus 6.8 billion, or 1.7 billion. Big difference!
The moment we reach “tank bottoms” actually comes before we reach operational minimum. Technically, “tank bottoms” refers to the sludge that builds up on the bottoms of storage tanks, which must be periodically cleaned out and disposed of or processed to extract valuable products. In this context, this moment is when practical commercial storage runs very low, so as not to be a reliable buffer between current supply and demand. That’s when a bidding war will begin, and oil prices are likely to spike to $150 a barrel or higher, oil industry executives say. That moment is not far away, even as the world sleepwalks through the greatest oil crisis in history.
The only way we avoid a nightmare scenario is if the Strait of Hormuz opens immediately.
And that is not going to happen.
Meanwhile, the New World screwworm continues to pop up in even more locations in the Southwest…
The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Monday confirmed three additional cases of New World screwworm, including two in Texas, according to the agency’s animal health arm.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said the two Texas cases affected a calf in La Salle County and a goat in Gillespie County.
APHIS clarified that a fifth case reported earlier on Monday in a dog in Andrews County would be reclassified as the first case detected in New Mexico. The veterinarian who reported the case is located in Texas, the agency said, but the dog resides at a household in Lea County, New Mexico, which borders Texas.
The size of the U.S. cattle herd is already the smallest that it has been since 1951.
So what is going to happen if the New World screwworm starts spreading like wildfire?
Another plague that is deeply alarming authorities is playing out in central Africa…
The number of confirmed Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has risen to 544, in the wake of the US’s health protection agency warned the outbreak could become the largest on record.
The epicentre is in DRC’s Ituri province, where Africa’s top public health agency, Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), have said there have been 515 confirmed cases out of Congo’s total of 544. At least 91 are confirmed dead, with a further 19 cases and 2 deaths in neighbouring Uganda, according to the two countries’ health ministries.
The number of confirmed cases is much higher than we were being told a few days ago.
But that isn’t the real story.
The real story is that hundreds of people have been dropping dead, and it appears that Ebola is the culprit.
But they won’t be added to the total that are “confirmed dead” until testing is complete, and that could take a while.
At the same time, hunger is rapidly growing in impoverished nations in Africa and elsewhere, and many major food exporting countries are experiencing severe drought.
Here in the United States, we have been experiencing our worst spring drought ever…
The United States experienced its worst spring drought on record last month, with more than 60% of land in the lower 48 states experiencing moderate drought or worse.
The drought has sparked alarm among farmers and environmentalists across the country, who warn that food supplies may be impacted and wildfires may blight areas where they are not usually seen.
The dry conditions are concentrated in the southeast, where moderate to exceptional drought covered 99.81% of the region at its peak in April, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Severe to exceptional drought covered more than 80% of the region, the highest level in April since the monitor began collecting data in 2000.
The latest U.S. Drought Monitor map shows that drought conditions stretch from coast to coast.
In fact, you could literally drive all the way across the nation without ever leaving areas that are being stricken by drought.
That is crazy.
And as if all that wasn’t enough, now a “Super El Ni
ño” will make drought conditions in much of the country even worse.According to the Daily Mail, it is now being projected that the “Super El Niño” that is coming “will likely be the strongest ever recorded”…
The brewing super El Niño will likely be the strongest ever recorded, new predictions suggest.
The latest modelling from the European Centre for Medium–Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) shows that sea temperatures will be well above average later this year.
Scientists measure the intensity of El Niño using the Niño 3.4 index, which records sea surface temperature anomalies between 5 degrees north and 5 degrees south latitude, and 120 degrees west and 170 degrees west longitude.
We have never experienced anything quite like this.
Meteorologist Ben Noll is warning that equatorial waters in the Pacific are likely to be much warmer than during any previous El Niño in all of history…
In almost every scenario, temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean will climb 3°C (5.4°F) above average by December.
However, some worrying simulations show that the sea surface will be more than 4°C (7.2°F) warmer in this critical region.
Ben Noll, a meteorologist and global weather writer at the Washington Post, wrote on X: ‘Almost every scenario now reaches past +3˚C, with a cluster of high–end scenarios in excess of +4˚C. This outlook now depicts the strongest El Niño on record.’
There will be monster droughts, unprecedented heatwaves, widespread crop failures and horrifying levels of global hunger.
Tens of millions died during the Super El Niño of 1877 and 1878.
How many will die this time around?
Of course the skeptics are not moved by any of this.
They insist that we have faced tough times before and have always come through them.
So they believe that everything will be just fine somehow.
Meanwhile, tech billionaires have been constructing giant underground bunkers in anticipation of the chaos that is ahead…
American tech billionaires have taken it a step further, with Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg installing a 5,000-sq-ft underground shelter at his compound in Hawaii with its own energy and food supplies and blast-resistant doors.
OpenAI’s Sam Altman has a reinforced concrete basement under his home, while Peter Thiel, the billionaire chairman of Palantir, previously filed plans for a bunker-style compound in New Zealand.
We really are living during one of the most apocalyptic eras in human history.
Sadly, what we have experienced so far is not even worth comparing to what is eventually coming.
The chaotic years that are ahead of us are going to be absolutely insane.
But many of the skeptics will just keep on mocking until disaster suddenly overtakes them and they are no longer able to mock anything at all.

Taiwan looks to Israel as it prepares society, economy and home front for China threat
Taipei warns Beijing is waging quiet war through disinformation and proxies, while drones and civil defense shape its preparations for a possible crisis
Ofra Pasder, Taipei|Yesterday | 12:51
Taiwan, the democratic island of about 23 million people, is an isolated technological powerhouse living under the shadow of its giant neighbor. China views Taiwan as a breakaway province and openly declares its intention to bring it under Beijing’s control, by force if necessary. In Taipei, officials understand that time may be running out, and the island has shifted into a mode of preparation: civilian, military and economic.
That complex diplomatic reality is felt daily inside Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry. Deputy foreign ministers Chen Ming-chi and Fran
çois Chih-chung Wu describe a troubling picture of quiet warfare, one aimed at isolating Taiwan and weakening it from within.“Beijing uses every possible tool to isolate Taiwan. We are their number one target,” Chen said. “In the past year alone, we identified 45,000 official Chinese accounts that spread some three million false posts against Taiwan.”
MAKE ynetGlobal MY TRUSTED SOURCE
According to the officials, the campaign is not being waged only from afar. China, they said, exploits Taiwan’s internal political divisions to recruit messengers inside the island. “They have proxies, companies and private individuals who receive funding from Beijing and spread narratives such as, ‘Our democracy is flawed,’ ‘We cannot win,’ or ‘It is better to surrender,’” they said.
One reason the world is so closely watching the confrontation is Taiwan’s role in the most sensitive industry of the 21st century. The island produces about 80% of the world’s semiconductor industry, making any crisis in the Taiwan Strait a global economic and strategic emergency.
The lessons of the war in Ukraine have resonated strongly in Taipei. Ukraine showed that inexpensive drones and unmanned naval vessels can play a decisive role in slowing or stopping an invasion by a much larger army. Taiwan is studying that model closely.
In the city of Taichung, Thunder Tiger, once known for manufacturing toy cars and boats, has transformed itself into a producer of unmanned systems for military use. One of the company’s key developments is a drone guided by a fiber-optic cable. “Since it is physically connected by a wire, it cannot be jammed electronically,” said Allan Chi of Thunder Tiger.
The struggle is also being fought on the civilian front. Taiwan’s national resilience effort is led in part by Kuma Academy, a civil defense organization that has already trained more than 100,000 citizens for a possible invasion scenario.
“About 90% of Taiwan’s population does not serve actively in the military,” said Kuma Academy CEO Fuming Chu. “Our role is to prepare them for emergencies without making them paranoid. We teach first aid, rescue, logistics and, critically, how to identify disinformation.”
Graduates of the academy are meant to form part of the backbone of Taiwan’s home front. In a crisis, they are expected to help prevent social collapse, maintain routine and counter the panic that China seeks to generate through psychological warfare. In Taiwan, where the law prohibits carrying personal firearms, civilian resilience has become a central weapon against Chinese propaganda.
Throughout the visit to the island, held at the invitation of Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry, Israel came up repeatedly as a point of deep identification and a source of operational lessons. Taiwanese officials and analysts see Israel as another small democracy surrounded by threats.
“The military and diplomatic support you receive from the United States and the Western world is far beyond what Taiwan receives,” said a representative of the Straits Exchange Foundation, the body responsible for economic relations with China. “Israel does excellent work in gathering intelligence and fighting the infiltration of spies. That is something we must improve. But beyond that, we see the determination of your people. We need to learn from you how to put disagreements aside.”
Taipei’s daily routine still projects business as usual. Streets remain crowded, nightlife continues and markets draw large numbers of visitors. But beneath that surface, a vast engine of preparation is running.
Taiwan is not seeking confrontation, but it is no longer willing to see itself as a victim. Faced with Beijing’s growing pressure, the island understands that the future of democracy in East Asia may depend on its willingness and its ability to defend itself.

Screwworms And The Death Of America’s Beef Industry
Sam Faddis's avatar
Jun 05, 2026
Screwworms have been detected in Texas. You probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about screw worms.
You should.
This Substack is reader-supported. Please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Screw worms are parasitic worms found in Panama and Colombia. They lay their eggs in the skin of live animals, including cattle. The eggs then hatch, and the larvae (maggots) infest and feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals.
“The name screwworm refers to the maggots’ feeding behavior as they burrow (screw) into the wound, feeding as they go like a screw being driven into wood. Maggots cause extensive damage by tearing at the hosts’ tissue with sharp mouth hooks. The wound can become larger and deepen as more maggots hatch and feed on living tissue. As a result, NWS can cause serious, often deadly damage to the animal.
Adult screwworm flies are about the size of a common housefly (or slightly larger). They have orange eyes, a metallic blue or green body, and three dark stripes along their backs.
Report mammals and birds with the following signs:
Irritated behavior
Head shaking
The smell of decay
Presence of fly larvae (maggots) in wounds”
Eggs hatch within 12-24 hours, and the larvae burrow into living flesh using hook-like mouthparts:
Larvae feed for 5-7 days, enlarging the wound dramatically, causing severe pain, tissue destruction, foul-smelling discharge, secondary infections, and often death if untreated.
Mature larvae drop to the ground, pupate, and emerge as adults. The full cycle can complete in as little as a few weeks in warm conditions, allowing rapid population growth.
United States Department of Agriculture
Screwworms have been migrating north since mid-2025 at least.
There are also cases in which screw worms have infected people. To prevent that, one of the things that has to be done is that any outdoor laundry drying on lines has to be ironed to kill the eggs and avoid human cases. If you are infected, you then have to dig the developing maggots out of your skin.
Screwworms used to be a huge threat to the cattle industry in this country before we launched a massive effort to eradicate them. Annual losses in the 1930s-1950s reached tens to hundreds of millions of dollars (equivalent to much more today) from deaths, reduced weight gain, lower milk production, treatment costs, and labor. Infestations hit cattle hardest, but affected sheep, goats, horses, and wildlife as well. Newborn calves were especially vulnerable.
We eradicated screwworms in the United States in the 1960’s primarily through the use of something called the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). SIT worked like this:
Mass-rearing huge numbers of screwworm flies in facilities.
Sterilizing the males (usually as pupae) with radiation (gamma or X-rays), which doesn’t kill them but renders their sperm non-viable.
Releasing the sterile males in overwhelming numbers into the wild (often by airplane).
Wild females mate only once in their lifetime. When they mate with a sterile male, they lay infertile eggs, producing no offspring. This progressively crashes the wild population.
There was a small outbreak of screwworms in the Florida Keys in 2017. It was quickly contained using the same method.
The U.S. cattle herd is already the smallest it has been since 1951. We suspended beef imports from Mexico in 2025.
Larval feeding causes rapid, severe tissue destruction: Maggots burrow into living flesh in any open wound (e.g., from branding, castration, dehorning, tick bites, scratches, or umbilical cords in newborns). Wounds enlarge quickly, attract more flies, lead to secondary infections, sepsis, and often death within 7–14 days if untreated.
One infested animal can spread the issue rapidly in a herd due to the fly’s mobility and high reproductive rate (females lay hundreds of eggs per batch; full life cycle in weeks in warm weather). In a full outbreak, significant portions of herds could be affected, with historical infestation rates around 20% in exposed populations.
The screwworm is already in Texas. That one state accounts for 14% of all U.S. cattle.
There have been several major screwworm outbreaks over the past century. The first recorded outbreak occurred from 1933-1936. Texas alone reported 3 million cases in 1935. The screwworm was believed to have claimed 180,000 head of cattle in 92 of Texas’s 254 counties, according to Charles Scruggs’ The Peaceful Atom and the Deadly Fly. By 1936, annual damage totaled $225.7 million in 2024 dollars.
Mortality and infestation rates vary. At the peak of the 1930s outbreak, about 12 percent of animals were infected, with a mortality rate of 12.4–19.4 percent. At the peak of the 1970s outbreak, the infestation rate in surveyed areas of Texas was 20.6 percent in cattle and 9 percent in sheep and goats. Texas is a particularly suitable environment for the parasite, given the state’s seasonal warmth, abundant potential targets and proximity to the southern border. During the 1970s outbreak, Texas had more cases than any other state in the U.S.
We have had a lot of warning that this threat was resurging. We don’t seem to have taken advantage of that to get ahead of it. We might want to move now with a sense of urgency. We are talking about the death of the American beef industry.

Lebanon's Aoun hits out at Iran, Hezbollah: 'It’s not your country, it’s our country'
In a message to Tehran, Aoun said: “The people of Lebanon are paying the price for the sake of your own interest. Our interests do not coincide with your interests.”

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun issued an unusually direct warning to Iran on Friday, saying Tehran had no right to use Lebanon as leverage in its war against Israel and the United States.
Speaking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview at the presidential palace in Beirut, Aoun said the Lebanese public had had enough of the cycle of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iranian proxy that has long operated as a state within a state, and whose commitment to the destruction of the Jewish state was not abated by the many blows it's been dealt by the IDF in recent years.
In a message aimed at Tehran, Aoun said: “You are not trying to help us … the people of Lebanon are paying the price … for the sake of your own interest.” He added that “our interests … do not coincide with your interests.”
The Lebanese president also singled out Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after it called this week for Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon to be included in a US-Iran ceasefire arrangement.
“It’s not your country, it’s our country,” Aoun said. He accused the Guards of attempting to fold Lebanon into Iran’s negotiations with Washington, saying: “They are using Lebanon as a bargaining chip in their negotiation with US.” He called the move “unacceptable.”
Aoun also aimed rare public criticism at Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem, who had rejected a fragile ceasefire arrangement between Lebanon and Israel a day earlier. Qassem, Aoun said, did not speak for Lebanon. Addressing him directly, he said: “the Lebanese people are not your people.”
Asked whether he could meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Aoun did not rule out such a step, which would mark the first meeting between leaders of the two countries. But he said it could not happen “before reaching an agreement” to end the war.

Earthquake warnings flash across two US states as multiple quakes rock West Coast
MORE: The iconic landmarks set to be wiped out by The Big One... as experts raise earthquake threat level
See more Daily Mail on Google - save us as a Preferred Source
By CHRIS MELORE, US DEPUTY SCIENCE EDITOR
Published: 09:10 EDT, 3 June 2026 | Updated: 11:40 EDT, 3 June 2026
Multiple strong earthquakes off the West Coast have sent shockwaves across two states on Wednesday morning.
Three were detected less than 100 miles from the coast of California and Oregon, all setting off emergency alert signals in the area.
The first alerts were sent out after the US Geological Survey (USGS) detected a magnitude 5.7 earthquake in the Pacific Ocean at 6.53am ET (3.53am local time).
The seaquake's epicenter was roughly 100 miles from the West Coast, with residents in both states reporting shaking as the large tremor struck the shore.
Multiple coastal communities from Eureka, California, to Reedsport, Oregon, about 240 miles north, felt the tremors.
That seismic event was followed by a magnitude 5.1 earthquake at 8.45am ET. It struck just 55 miles from Eureka, a city of more than 25,000 people in the northern part of the state.
The third quake, this one registering at 4.5 in magnitude, erupted in the Pacific in the exact same spot as the second quake did 26 minutes later.
The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services warned: 'Earthquakes are unpredictable, so be prepared for aftershocks. Drop. Cover. Hold On.'
USGS confirmed that its ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning system was activated by the quakes, sending out automatic warnings to thousands of people’s phones and digital devices.
Officials noted that no tsunami warnings have been issued despite the proximity to the West Coast.
USGS has noted that there is a nearly 60 percent chance of another quake stronger than 3.0 striking the West Coast within the next 24 hours.
The area under and near Eureka is one of the most seismically active regions in the continental US.
The city sits near the Mendocino Triple Junction, a point where three tectonic plates, the Pacific, Juan de Fuca and North American, all meet under the Earth's surface.
This crowded zone frequently produces earthquakes as the plates slide past each other and get stuck, causing seismic stress.
Geologists have estimated that this region has accounted for roughly 25 percent of all the seismic energy released in California over the last five decades.
Thursday's trio of sizable earthquakes also took place near the dangerous Cascadia Subduction Zone, a nearly 700-mile-long fault line off the West Coast of North America.
Scientists have long warned that the zone is overdue for a catastrophic event, with many nicknaming it the 'Sleeping Giant.'
Simulations have shown the fault is capable of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that would impact most of the Pacific Northwest, including major cities such as Seattle and Portland.
An April 2025 study found that a colossal earthquake along the CSZ was almost assured to take place by 2100, with a 37 percent chance it will happen at any point over the next 50 years.
If an earthquake between 8.0 and 9.0 in magnitude struck today, scientists have predicted that the shockwave could produce a 100-foot-tall mega tsunami, which would wipe out most of the nearby coastline.

Past the Point of No Return: The Economic Collapse Is Happening!
Large cracks showed up everywhere today, and a far worse landslide is already a done deal for late June, according to oil companies, due to critical oil shortages that can no longer be escaped.
David Haggith's avatar
Jun 05, 2026
While the Dow soared a huge 900 points to another all-time high today, it didn’t do it for the usual reason. Money actually fled tech and moved into bank stocks and other more mundane or maybe safer investments. This looks like the start of a rotation, which happened orderly today, but rotations sometimes indicate people fleeing the longtime market leaders, and that can quickly go disorderly once momentum builds.
To give you a sense of today’s rockslide, one chipmaker—Broadcom—caved in more than 12% on a revenue miss today. Micron Technology tumbled more than 8%. Semiconductor names slid broadly. These were big moves.
“After an astonishing earnings season, the AI trade is still alive and well, but this rally is getting tired after an incredible more than two-month surge,” said Dennis Follmer, chief investment officer at Montis Financial….
Thursday’s moves “suggest the early innings of a rotation and it’s also a reminder that not all AI stocks are the same and there are different expectations built into each stock,” he added.
And that was exactly how the dot-com bust began. First, people thought tech couldn’t fall, but then the many companies that had bad earnings reports took some big dives. Eventually many of those got wiped out entirely. Then everything started to slide over the course of more than a year—almost two years. Even those that survived took years to recover from the massive rotation that picked up steam as investors woke up to realize they could not keep rewarding earnings non-performance forever.
Even though not all tech stocks were equal in that some companies really did have what it took back then to become the new business paradigm that would dominate industry for decades, those that had what it took to become the new species of business after the major extinction event, took almost a decade just to recover to where they had been before the fall.
As an example or troubles on this tremulous June day, Kevin O’Leary, heading up one of the biggest AI projects on Earth, announced he’s going to significantly scale back his massive Utah data center, reported on in this past weekend’s Deeper Dive, to try to ease the potentially disorderly public backlash over these monstrosities. So, there were several signs of major collapse today, ranging from merely shifting ground, to roaring rockslides, all among the cr
ème de la crème of Big Tech.The big catalyst for today’s tech slide was the Iran War, which as I reported yesterday has spent this week slowly building up renewed momentum:
This comes after a losing day on Wall Street, with stocks pressured by rising tensions in the Middle East. Attacks escalated between the U.S. and Iran. Iran struck Kuwait International Airport early Wednesday, while a day earlier U.S. Central Command said it had defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and carried out “self-defense strikes” on Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf. It said that this was in response to “attempted attacks” by Tehran.
So, we went from a large losing day for stocks yesterday, to a major rotation day with some tech stocks taking big losses today, even though the market overall shot up. Yet, there were some even bigger losers outside of tech where poor earnings were not forgiven. Calvin Klein’s owner, PVY, experienced its biggest plunge since the flash crash of 1987. The company got decapitated today, losing almost a third of its value in one day. Again, the Iran war was tagged as being a significant contributor to that company’s stock crash:
Analysts were spooked by sustained pressure across the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, where the prolonged U.S.-Iran conflict and softer consumer demand are now weighing on its revenue outlook….
PVH reaffirmed its full-year adjusted EPS guidance, which fell short of the Bloomberg Consensus estimate, and cut its revenue outlook amid a deteriorating macroeconomic environment….
Guggenheim analyst Simeon Siegel wrote in a note that while PVH reiterated full-year earnings, it “suggested that pressures from the prolonged conflict in the Middle East and related macroeconomic pressures were negatively impacting the full-year revenue outlook.”
Some of those other “macroeconomic pressures” might likely be the Trump Tariffs.
Loosening labor
So far this year, the labor market has been incredibly resilient against any kind of turnover; however, jobless claims also took a nasty leap today. Again, the damage concentrated intensely in tech companies, which announced the most cuts in two years, as they ramped up spending on AI.
In May, Artificial Intelligence (AI) led all reasons for job cuts for the third month in a row, with 38,579 announced cuts.
It is the highest monthly total ever recorded for the reason since Challenger began tracking it in 2023, and it accounted for 40% of all cuts announced in May - up from just 7% in January, 25% in March, and 26% in April.
For the year, AI has been cited in 87,714 cuts, or 22% of all 2026 layoffs, already far surpassing the 54,836 attributed to the reason in all of 2025.
“The labor market is being reshaped by technology in real time,” said Andy Challenger, the company’s chief revenue officer.
“AI is now the leading reason companies give for cutting jobs.”
Longterm unemployment is also surging. It has reached the highest level it has seen since the massive Covid layoffs when multitudes failed to ever return to work.
On a macro level, the growing number of Americans in this boat raises red flags about the strength of the labor market and overall economy….
“It tells us a lot about economic health,” said Cory Stahle, an economist at job site Indeed.
Credit collapse
As stocks and labor roll over while corporate earnings fade, another crisis has been building in the private credit market, which broke off another large section today with major player Blackstone restricting withdrawals from its flagship fund in an effort to slow the outflow of investors fleeing the fund.
It comes a day after private markets giants sold off after Switzerland’s Partners Group said it was curbing redemption requests in one of its European private equity vehicles….
Partners Group said on Thursday it was prepared to restrict withdrawals in more of its funds, warning that the spike in client withdrawals is now spreading from private credit into private equity.
Breakout emergency measures and rotations like this in stocks are how major crashes often get started. A big piece starts to slip here, then another over there, and then the whole mountainside starts to move.
Big Oil makes the slope slippery
The down pressure on major sectors of the economy is going to grow more quickly now because economic collapse is being lubricated by oil. It’s no longer just tariff troubles. While Trump keeps pretending a deal is imminent with Iran, the war keeps heating up. Oil companies are telling the president that major fireworks in fuel prices will hit later this month, putting that major impact right at the start of summer when I said the inflation from the war would go critical.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration and other sources began showing that fuel makers were increasingly relying on oil and fuel from their storage tanks to replace products no longer arriving from the Middle East.
“We’re at dangerously low levels already,” said one industry executive who was granted anonymity to discuss private conversations with the administration. “We have shared those concerns at the highest levels of government about what’s coming in mid-to-late June.… I hope they are paying attention to inventories right now. You’re hitting tank bottom.”
Just as I said for the above situation with major stock avalanches, big companies can absorb things for so long, then they start to go critical, and suddenly major slabs of the mountain start to move.
A White House official denied that any senior members of staff have been warned privately by the industry about inventories. “Politico’s anonymous sources are wrong,” the official said.
Denial as a strategy only works for so long to delay a collapse, too. More than one source is saying the same thing:
Exxon Mobil warned Thursday that oil inventories will fall to record low levels in coming weeks, forcing prices to spike and curbing demand.
“We’re approaching unheard of inventory levels,” said Exxon Senior Vice President Neil Chapman at a conference hosted by Bernstein in New York….
“I mean really, really low levels,” Chapman warned. “You can debate whether that’s going to hit, those really low levels, in two weeks or three weeks. Once you get to that point, then you’ll see price shoot up.”
The price of physical Brent oil cargoes will spike to $150 to $160 per barrel when inventories hit all-time lows in coming weeks, the executive said.
Even if the Trump-Israel-Iran War were to end today, which it won’t, that wouldn’t improve the tank levels at all in time to stop the late-June arrival at critical levels that shoot prices up.
“I don’t know, whether it’s two to three weeks or three to four weeks,” Chapman said. “What I’m really saying is, once you get to the minimum inventory levels and all-time low inventory levels, there’s only one way to go.
That would be UP in price.
If oil started shipping out of Iran today, it wouldn’t arrive here in time to stop oil supply from going critical later this month. That level of shortage is already a fait accompli. If the wars stopped today, it would take months, not weeks, to clear out mines and convince ships it’s safe to travel and then to ship across multiple oceans to arrive at their destinations. So, we are past the point of no return for this economic collapse.

Anthropic Calls for Global Pause in AI Development, Warns of “Self-Improvement” Risk
By Jacob Burg, The Epoch Times • Jun. 5, 2026
(The Epoch Times)—Artificial intelligence (AI) giant Anthropic on June 4 called for industry leaders worldwide to slow down the development pace of the technology, warning that the models are reaching a point at which they could soon independently improve themselves, potentially taking control out of the hands of humanity.
Anthropic, maker of the popular Claude chatbot, stated in a blog post that continuing to delegate the development of AI to the systems themselves risks creating a technology that is “capable of fully autonomously designing and developing its own successor.”
“This is called recursive self-improvement,” Anthropic’s Marina Favaro and Jack Clark wrote in the post. “We are not there yet, and recursive self-improvement is not inevitable. But it could come sooner than most institutions are prepared for.”

Anthropic had warned of a potential cybersecurity reckoning from frontier AI models when announcing its Claude Mythos Preview in April.
Some industry leaders have highlighted the risks of AI’s arrival at the point of improving itself without human intervention, warning of the potentially untold effects on society.
“We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research to keep up with the advance of the technology,” Favaro and Clark wrote.
***Support The Liberty Daily and Mike Lindell -- use code TLD at MyPillow.com and get up to 66% off!***
“The Anthropic Institute will conduct research—in collaboration with many others—and take actions to help build the systems that a credible slowdown or pause would require.”
Anthropic said developing these systems would enable frontier AI developers to “verify that others globally have actually stopped or slowed, and that a bad actor could not use the auspices of a coordinated slowdown to jump ahead in secret.”
This process would require global coordination throughout “multiple well-resourced labs at or near the frontier,” Anthropic stated.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on June 2 asking AI companies to voluntarily submit their frontier models for government review 30 days before a full public release.
It’s not yet clear which AI firms will choose to participate, but the order comes after the Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation inked deals with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI last month to evaluate their frontier models for security risks ahead of public releases.
Anthropic is also trying to go public. The AI firm announced on June 1 that it had confidentially filed an initial public offering prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OpenAI has indicated it may soon follow suit.

Iranian drone attack kills one, wounds several, damages int'l airport in Kuwait, flights diverted
According to the Health Ministry, following the event, there were a total of 63 cases of injury, and seven major emergency surgeries performed.
ByJAMES GENN, GOLDIE KATZ
JUNE 3, 2026 00:14 Updated: JUNE 3, 2026 14:11
An Iranian drone and ballistic missile attack on Kuwait during the early hours of Wednesday morning killed one civilian, wounded several others, and damaged "vital facilities, including diplomatic missions," the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry confirmed on X/Twitter in the afternoon.
According to the Health Ministry, following the event, there were a total of 63 cases of injury, and seven major emergency surgeries performed.
Earlier on Wednesday, Kuwait's Civil Aviation Authority suspended all air traffic and diverted flights away from Kuwait International Airport after Iranian missiles and drones hit Terminal 1, wounding several and causing structural damage.
A Kuwaiti Defense Ministry spokesperson said that "enemy drones" targeted the airport's Terminal 1, causing "significant material damage, and wounding several individuals who received the necessary medical care."
Technical teams are inspecting and assessing damage, Kuwait's official KUNA said.
Kuwait Airways said it would reschedule its Wednesday flights. Shortly afterward, the civil aviation authority said the country's flagship carrier had resumed flights from Terminal 4, after evaluating damage and taking safety measures.
US strikes Iranian missile sites following regime's attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain, CENTCOM confirms
This follows on from the US striking an Iranian military ground control site and combated multiple Iranian missile and drone attacks aimed at Kuwait and Bahrain on Tuesday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed.
CENTCOM described the strikes on the Qeshm Island control center as “self-defense strikes,” ordered after American forces shot down three Iranian one-way attack drones aimed at vessels transiting regional waters.
In retaliation, Iran launched multiple missiles at Bahrain and Kuwait. Three were intercepted by US and Bahrain air defenses, and two that were aimed at Kuwait failed before hitting their targets.
Bahrain's military says it was responsible for intercepting three missiles and several drones in a post on its official X account. Bahrain's official statement made no mention of US involvement.
A short while later, Iran launched another wave of drones intended to attack US forces in Kuwait. CENTCOM announced that it successfully downed several drones, and no US personnel or assets were harmed during the incident.
US disables tanker headed for Iranian port
Earlier on Tuesday, the US disabled an empty oil tanker attempting to reach an Iranian port, firing a missile into the ship’s engine after the crew failed to comply with directions in the Persian Gulf.
According to CENTCOM, US forces issued repeated warnings to the crew of the Botswana-flagged vessel over the course of 24 hours as it sailed towards Iran’s Kharg Island.
To stop the tanker from reaching Iran, a US aircraft fired a missile into the vessel’s engine room, disabling it.
In a statement on X/Twitter, CENTCOM asserted that this is the sixth commercial vessel disabled by US forces since the blockade of Iranian ports along the Strait of Hormuz went into effect on April 13.
Iran says Kuwait, Bahrain bear responsibility for US attacks, vows self-defense
Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned on Wednesday what it described as US attacks on an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island, saying they violated a ceasefire understanding and international law.
The ministry said Kuwait and Bahrain bore "direct and clear responsibility" for the attacks, alleging their territory and facilities had been used to support US military operations against Iran.
Tehran said it reserved the right to self-defense and would use all available means to respond, including by targeting the source of any future attacks.
CENTCOM enforces US blockade on Strait of Hormuz
On Friday, CENTCOM took similar measures against a Gambia-flagged vessel in the Gulf of Oman attempting to reach an Iranian port.
In that incident, over 20 warnings were issued to the vessel’s crew before the ship was disabled with a Hellfire missile.
CENTCOM has also recently struck Iranian targets located along the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for Iran’s downing of a US drone over international waters.
On Monday, CENTCOM announced that it had struck Iranian radar sites and drone command and control sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island. In the same strikes, American forces also destroyed two one-way attack drones that posed a threat to vessels transiting nearby waters.

California Puts Muslim Holidays First While Sidelining Christians and Jews
Gary Lane
05-18-2026
California is on the brink of officially recognizing two major Muslim holidays while sidelining Christian and Jewish traditions that have shaped the state for generations. This push appears to result from a growing alliance between Muslim advocacy groups and the political left.
In California, lawmakers are moving forward with a new bill called AB2017.
If passed and signed by the governor, the Muslim holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha would become official state holidays in California.
Assemblyman Matt Haney rolled out the proposal during Ramadan. "No worker will have to choose between honoring their faith and keeping their job," he explained. "But recognizing it isn't just about a date on a calendar. It's about telling Muslim students, workers, and families across California that their faith, their traditions, and their celebrations matter."
California State Senator Aisha Wahab sees this move as long overdue. "We have seen the fight of the Black community, of the Latino community, of the Asian community, and so much more. This is no different," she insisted. "And the fact that we are doing this in 2026, in the state of California, is a shame. It's a shame that this has not been done already."
If these are recognized as state holidays, schools and community colleges could choose to close on those days.
Rabbi Michael Barclay, host of the podcast "The Rabbi's Table," believes this is a step too far.
"The state of California doesn't honor any other religion. But now suddenly they're kowtowing and catering to what is effectively Sharia law," Barclay said.
Eid al-Fitr is the celebration following the month of fasting during Ramadan. For Muslims, it's a time to gather with family and enjoy food and festivities.
On Eid al-Adha, Muslim families around the world take part in animal sacrifices, following a tradition that goes back centuries. Up to 50-million animals are slaughtered worldwide in just one day.
Barclay believes these holidays shouldn't be put on the same level as other public celebrations, arguing they're tied to violence.
"Ramadan is not a month of peace; in fact, al-Qaida calls it the month of conquests. This is really disconcerting. And it's a horrible statement about California and about our politicians who are pandering for whatever money or votes they think they can get from the Islamic community," he said.
Barclay also points out that Muslims make up about 1% of California's population, Christians are 55%, and Jews are closer to 3%.
That's led Barclay to question why California would grant Muslim holidays state recognition but not Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur for the larger Jewish community.
"There is this sort of weird alliance between the far left, which is where California Democrats are, and Islam, and Marxism, and all these that we see come together at universities," he said.
This political alliance appears to be a trend on college campuses across America, with students holding anti-Israel protests and chanting for a free Palestine.
Just recently, a University of Michigan history professor, Derek Peterson, used his commencement speech to urge graduates to sing out in support of the pro-Palestinian activists.
"Who have over these past two years opened our hearts to the injustice and inhumanity of Israel's war in Gaza," he said.
CBN News asked Barclay, a former instructor at Loyola Marymount University, about how Professor Peterson used that graduation platform.
Is his message just about freedom of speech? What's wrong with sharing one's opinion about Israel at a university commencement ceremony? Barclay replied, "Everything, pretty much everything about it is wrong. A professor's job is to educate, not indoctrinate."
Barclay and other conservatives warn that teaching kids to hate Israel often ends up fueling antisemitism and even violence against Jews.
That happened on May 11th in Brooklyn, when things got out of hand during a protest in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood.
Rabbi Barclay points out that many liberals involved in these anti-Israel protests don't really understand what radical Islam is all about. "These people aren't even conscious of the fact that their sexual choices would get them beheaded in any Arab Muslim country, or Jews for Palestine. Same thing. It's really foolishness."
Danny Burmawi, a former Muslim and political analyst, sees the alliance between Islamists and the political left as a real problem for America's future.
"The problem is that Islam has joined the group of the oppressed in that imagination of the radical left, and they don't care about what Islam claims, what Islam's intentions are," he explained. "They care that Islam is a weapon that could be utilized against the Christians, the white, the male, the power system they are trying to take down."
New York City's Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is both Muslim and a self-described socialist, has yet to take a tough stance against anti-Israel protestors. Meanwhile, in California, lawmakers are expected to pass a bill recognizing Muslim holidays. It's still up in the air whether Governor Gavin Newsom, who might be eyeing a run for president, will actually sign it.

US and Iran exchanged strikes overnight
Hal Turner World June 03, 2026 Hits: 8258
The US and Iran exchanged strikes overnight — here's what actually happened.
CENTCOM moved first: disabled oil tanker M/T Lexie heading for an Iranian port, by firing a Hellfire missile to disable the ship, then struck Qeshm Island under "self-defense."
Iran hit back on 3 fronts:
▪️Container ship MSC Panaya disabled
▪️US airbase in Kuwait targeted with Iranian missiles and with Drones, reportedly killing four or five marines.
▪️US Navy 5th Fleet HQ in Bahrain struck
"The response would be different and harsher. These should serve as a lesson," IRGC warned.
Iran launched a minimum of ten ballistic missiles and several Shahed-131/136 drones toward the U.S. Ali Al Salem Airbase in Kuwait and the U.S. Navy 5th Fleet Base in Manama, Bahrain.
CENTCOM says Iranian missiles missed. Social media footage from Kuwait showed active air defense.
But . . . But . . . the "Ceasefire"
The US and Iran are 'largely negotiating' a peace deal while simultaneously striking each other's military bases and disabling each other's tankers overnight.
The lawyers are writing the Memorandum Of Understanding, even though Iran has ceased responding to the US. How anyone can "negotiate" when they aren't talking is a mystery.
The IRGC is writing the target list.
Both documents are apparently active at the same time.

Magnitude-4.6 earthquake strikes off coast of Hawaii’s Big Island
By Julian Atienza, FOX Weather
Published June 3, 2026, 12:01 p.m. ET
KAHALUU-KEAUHOU, Hawaii — A magnitude-4.6 earthquake shook the Kona Coast on Hawaii’s Big Island at 5:58 p.m. local time on Monday, according to the USGS.
The epicenter was a little more than 3.5 miles offshore of the community of Kahaluu-Keauhou and 21 miles below sea level.
A Tsunami Warning was not issued.
Shaking was felt across the Big Island and parts of Maui.
According to the USGS, the earthquake was not related to magma movement and had no impact on the Big Island’s volcanoes, including Kīlauea — one of the world’s most active volcanoes — as well as Mauna Loa and Hualālai, which remains active but is currently dormant.
This follows a magnitude-6.0 quake that rattled the Big Island on May 22.
“Aftershocks are possible in the coming hours to days,” the USGS said.
There’s been no word on the extent of any damage.

After The AI Binge, Companies Balk At Soaring Bills
Posted By: Thomas Urbain via Yahoo! Finance June 1, 2026
It was cheap at first, subsidized to the hilt. Now, AI companies are raising their rates as they near IPOs. It will come down to this: token usage will eat into budgets for paying humans; ergo, humans will go. It is just a matter of money, not productivity or efficiency. Once a company gets entangled with AI, it’s virtually impossible to untangle it. ⁃ Patrick Wood Editor.
Artificial intelligence is getting expensive — and companies are starting to rethink their embrace of the disruptive technology.
Playing by a well-worn Silicon Valley playbook, AI companies charged rock-bottom prices to hook customers after ChatGPT burst onto the scene.
Kevin Simback of startup incubator Delphi Labs calls it the era of “subsidized intelligence” — meaning investors were basically footing the bill so companies could offer AI on the cheap.
“But the tides are beginning to turn,” Simback warned and an era where the big AI companies actually need to make money has begun — with leaders OpenAI and Anthropic looking to go public and attract main street investors later this year.
Prices are rising across the board, and one big reason is AI agents.
Unlike a chatbot that just answers questions, agents actually do things — book appointments, write code, manage files. And they’re expensive to run, because one task can spin up dozens of agents all working at once, each racking up charges.
Those charges are measured in tokens — the basic unit AI companies use to bill customers. A single agent-powered task can burn through dozens of times’ more tokens than a simple chat message.
Meanwhile, the computer chips and data centers needed to power all this AI can’t keep up with demand, creating computing shortages and adding further uncertainty to the nascent industry.
“Especially in developer circles, the cost to use AI for things like coding has grown exponentially,” said Mark Barton of tech consultancy Omniux. “All the costs are really starting to skyrocket.”
Some companies have been so eager to use AI that they’ve gone overboard in a usage binge called “tokenmaxxing.”
“In some cases people are seeing the cost of tokens exceed the cost of the employee within a month or two of use, just because they’re using it too much,” says analyst Jack Gold of J.Gold Associates.
Even Meta — which earlier this year encouraged employees to use as many tokens as possible as a measure of productivity — has had second thoughts.
“Nobody should be using AI tools just for the sake of using them,” chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth wrote in a memo to staff, reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Uber’s chief operating officer this week went a step further, raising eyebrows by saying all this AI spending was showing no noticeable increase in productivity.
To cut costs, some companies are switching to free, open-source AI models that anyone can download — not as powerful as ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude, but good enough for many tasks.
Others are moving to smaller, more specialized models built for specific industries like real estate or finance, rather than giant general-purpose ones.
And some are simply breaking big AI tasks into smaller steps, handing each piece to the cheapest model that can handle it.
The price difference can be dramatic.
“The big, large monolithic model, it’s $15 per million tokens, but you can get that down to like five cents if you use the smaller mini model,” says Adrian Balfour of consultancy Enverso.
All of this points to AI becoming more like a commodity — where the specific model matters less than finding the right one at the right price.
But don’t count out the big players and their state-of-the-art models just yet.
“The most advanced users” will always be willing to pay for the best, says John Belton, a portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds.
“It’s a growing pie.”

Police Orders Officers To Log ANTI-ISLAM Comments In Chilling Free Speech Crackdown
Steve Watson
2nd June 2026
No comments
Force adds subjective wording to government’s contested definition, prompting Free Speech Union legal threat
Britain’s free speech traditions face fresh erosion as South Wales Police directs officers to record conversations and comments about Islam that stray beyond what the force deems “legitimate” discussion.
The policy, exposed in recent social media posts, risks logging lawful criticism as hostility incidents that could surface in future employment checks.
This move builds directly on the Labour government’s March definition of “anti-Muslim hostility” and exposes how public bodies are “gold-plating” safeguards meant to protect open debate.
South Wales Police has told staff to log anything exceeding its view of ‘acceptable’ talk on Islam. The Free Speech Union immediately challenged the guidance, warning it hands officers unchecked power to decide acceptable speech and creates a chilling effect on expression.
The FSU post laid it out plainly, noting “South Wales Police are zealously enforcing their own definition of Islamophobia in a way that threatens free speech.”
“This subjective definition gives officers the power to decide what constitutes acceptable speech and risks having a chilling effect on free expression,” the FSU adds.
The FSU has written to South Wales Police calling on them to withdraw the guidance. “If they fail to do so, we have threatened legal action by way of judicial review,” it further notes.
FSU General Secretary Lord Young said South Wales Police risked “penalising people for expressing misgivings about Islam”, contrary to free speech protections enshrined in law. Britain’s blasphemy laws were abolished by Parliament in 2008.
Lord Young added: “The Government was careful to include free speech safeguards in its official definition of anti-Muslim hostility, making clear that it was not intended to inhibit criticism of Islam or Islamic religious practices, such as ritual public prayer.”
“Our concern is that police forces and other public bodies adopting the definition will gold-plate it, ignoring those safeguards and penalising people for expressing misgivings about Islam, even when those views are rooted in evidence rather than prejudice,” Young further urged.
He continued, “In particular, we are concerned that the default police response to reports of anti-Muslim hostility — even where they clearly fall outside the definition — will be to record them as ‘anti-social behaviour incidents’, the new name for ‘non-crime hate incidents’. Those records may then be disclosed in enhanced DBS checks.”
The Government announced its official definition of “anti-Muslim hostility” in March, alongside plans to appoint an Islamophobia tsar.
South Wales Police’s interpretation adds an extra phrase to the Government’s definition that could have a chilling effect on free speech and potentially affect people’s daily lives, such as their employment prospects.
As a result of this policy, individuals may be unable to predict whether their lawful speech or beliefs will be recorded by the police, or how any resulting record may be used, retained or relied upon.
We understand that several other police forces have adopted their own definitions of Islamophobia.
In March, ministers unveiled the non-statutory definition of anti-Muslim hostility in the “Protecting What Matters” report. The same package urged schools, councils and workplaces to monitor and report incidents, creating an atmosphere of institutional surveillance.
A leaked draft of the social cohesion strategy went further, branding the Union flag a “tool of hate” wielded by the “extreme right” to intimidate and exclude. National symbols of pride were reframed as potential weapons while the strategy allocated hundreds of millions toward “pressured areas.”
The definition itself was shaped by a working group where every member carried links to Islamist organisations previously shunned by governments since 2009, including the Muslim Council of Britain and Muslim Engagement and Development. One member had publicly supported Hamas; another stood for the Respect Party.
Conservative MP Katie Lam warned the definition would “make it harder to talk about Islamist extremism, FGM, and the grooming gangs. They’d rather restrict our right to criticise than deal with these problems head-on. It’s putting us all in danger.”
The Free Speech Union briefing stated: “In a free society, no religion should enjoy greater protection than others — nor be shielded from legitimate criticism and challenge.” It added that the group’s makeup left “deep cause for concern.”
While institutions chase “anti-Muslim hostility” records, actual religious discrimination in the opposite direction has flourished. Landlords across London and the south-east openly advertise flats and rooms “only for Muslims,” “for two Muslim boys or two Muslim girls,” or “Muslims preferred” on platforms including Gumtree and Facebook. These listings breach the Equality Act 2010 yet continue with minimal enforcement.
The contrast is stark: criticism of Islamic doctrine or practices triggers police logging and potential DBS disclosures, while explicit religious exclusion in areas such as housing draws little institutional pushback. This is two-tier Britain in action.
Lord Young’s warning in the FSU statement remains the core issue. Officers are now empowered to decide what counts as “legitimate” discussion of Islam. Lawful misgivings rooted in evidence risk being recorded anyway. Blasphemy laws were abolished in 2008 for good reason; this approach revives their spirit for one religion alone.
Free speech protections exist precisely to cover expression that offends, shocks or disturbs. When police forces treat evidence-based concerns about Islamism as automatic hostility, they invert that principle and accelerate self-censorship across the country.
The Free Speech Union has made clear it will pursue judicial review if South Wales Police does not withdraw the guidance. Other forces reportedly adopting similar interpretations should take note. Britain’s tradition of open debate on all ideas, including religious ones, is not optional. It is the foundation that keeps a free society from sliding into managed speech and selective enforcement.

Finnish MP Persecuted For Biblical Beliefs Submits Testimony Before Canadian Senate On The Danger Of C-9 ‘Hate Speech’ Bill
By ADF June 2, 2026
Top Story Deception
Finnish MP Persecuted For Biblical Beliefs Submits Testimony Before Canadian Senate On The Danger Of C-9 ‘Hate Speech’ Bill
By ADF June 2, 2026
Canadian senate
Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen, who was criminally convicted for a decades-old church booklet about marriage and sexual ethics, was invited to submit a testimony before the Canadian Senate Human Rights Committee on the C-9 bill concerning “hate speech”.
In her testimony, submitted for the hearing on 1 June, Räsänen discussed her experience of facing a seven-year prosecution and three criminal trials for sharing her Christian beliefs about marriage on social media and in a booklet written for her church. Citing her narrow conviction by the Finnish Supreme Court, Räsänen warned the Committee of the dangers of removing protections for religious speech in the public square.
The former Interior Minister’s testimony comes as Canada’s House of Commons considers Bill C-9, which proposes to weaken protections for speech on religious matters in the Canadian criminal code.
The bill, among other things, removes a provision that protects religious statements made in “good faith”, potentially criminalising religious speech that would otherwise be lawful.
If passed, the bill would enable the prosecution of religious speech if the courts consider that it “wilfully promotes hatred against any identifiable group”. It carries a punishment of up to two years’ imprisonment.
In her testimony, Räsänen emphasised the dangers that “hate speech” laws pose for fundamental freedoms and democratic societies:
“Censorship is one of the greatest existential threats to today’s democracies in Europe. You do not need to agree with my beliefs to see the danger of criminalizing peaceful speech. When the state controls which ideas and beliefs may be expressed, democracy becomes fragile. My case reveals where this path can lead.
“My experience in Finland has shown me that laws which criminalize speech have a very real cost not only to individuals, but also society at large. They encourage law-abiding citizens to censor their speech, and deprive wider society of conversations of critical importance.
Räsänen further warned against ambiguous “hate speech” legislation that criminalises the peaceful expression of certain beliefs. She recalled the Finnish Supreme Court’s decision to uphold her conviction despite acknowledging that her booklet “did not contain incitement to violence or comparable threat-like fomenting of hatred”.
She added that censorial legislation has negative consequences both for those prosecuted and others who will no longer feel able to express their views:
“Even when courts ultimately acquit, our story shows how the process itself becomes the punishment. We have faced years of investigation, public scrutiny, and legal uncertainty. This creates a chilling effect, not just for Christians, but for everyone who holds views outside a narrow, state-approved consensus… Through fear, “hate speech” laws undermine public discourse and drive diverse views from the public square.”
Räsänen concluded: “I look forward to the day when the fundamental right to free speech is upheld for all who seek to peacefully express their convictions.”
Background
In March 2026, Räsänen was found guilty of “insult” by the Finnish Supreme Court for expressing her Christian beliefs about human sexuality in a 2004 booklet produced for her church.
The long-serving Finnish parliamentarian’s nearly seven-year criminal prosecution began after she shared her Christian beliefs about marriage and sexual ethics in a 2019 tweet, leading to a police investigation that resulted in further charges for expressing her beliefs in a 2019 live radio debate and authoring the 2004 church booklet.
Formally charged with “agitation against a minority group” in 2021, Räsänen was acquitted on all charges by two lower courts in 2022 and 2023. Nevertheless, the state prosecutor appealed the decision concerning the Bible verse tweet and church booklet. In a narrow 3-2 ruling, the Finnish Supreme Court upheld the acquittal for the tweet but convicted Räsänen for the booklet.
In May, Räsänen announced her intention to appeal her case to the European Court of Human Rights.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is the world’s largest legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, the sanctity of life, marriage and family, and parental rights.
