NJ Drone 'Invasion' Just In Time For Congress To Reauthorize Orwellian Law

A series of drone sightings over New Jersey that began in mid-November has left residents and lawmakers spooked about the possibility of foreign adversaries breaching US airspace with drone swarms. While officials have attempted to reassure the public, some lawmakers have stoked fear, leading to widespread panic on social media, with people interpreting anything moving in the night sky as a potential drone (even commercial jets and stars).

Days ago, the FBI and the US Homeland Security Department released a statement indicating, "We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus."

"Historically, we have experienced cases of mistaken identity, where reported drones are, in fact, manned aircraft," the federal agencies said.

White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said many of the purported drone sightings are commercial jets with no evidence of a national security or public safety threat.

If actual 'truck-sized' drones (some say Iranian origin) were flying in some of the world's most restricted airspace, let's use common sense—the Pentagon would have scrambled F-22s and F-35s on the East Coast almost immediately. Since that hasn't happened (as far as we know), we can't help but be suspicious about the whole drone situation. Additionally, no private satellite data shows that Iranian drone carriers are parked off the coast; in fact, these vessels are located 7,500 miles away.

Let's take a step back and review some of Elon Musk's tweets on X:

Sept. 30: "Drone swarm battles are coming that will boggle the mind"

Sept. 29: "Epic drone wars coming"

Jan. 5, 2023: "The Drone Wars are already a big deal, but we ain't seen nothing yet …"

What did Elon know ahead of time?

Blackmail is futile – Putin

Russia’s president has asserted that his country remains resilient despite unprecedented sanctions pressure

“Russia is developing, the economy is growing. And this is against the backdrop of unprecedented sanctions, blunt interference, and pressure from the ruling elites of certain states,” Putin stated. He emphasized that “no blackmail or attempts from outside to hinder us will ever yield results.”

The United Russia congress is set to alter the party’s program and charter, as well as rotate its High and General Councils.

Russia will achieve all of its short and long-term objectives, Putin added.

TOXIC SNOW ⚠️Rumford, Maine, Sees Brown Snowfall Due to Paper Mill Malfunction

As snow blanketed Rumford, Maine, residents noticed an unusual sight—brown snow falling from the sky. The discoloration was caused by a malfunction at a local paper mill, which released spent black liquor, a by-product of the papermaking process, into the atmosphere.

While the town manager assured residents the substance is not hazardous, it could still cause irritation to skin, eyes, or even pets' paws. Authorities are advising caution when coming into contact with the snow.

Trump Transition Team Considering Strikes on Iran

The incoming administration is debating if it should attack Iranian nuclear facilities

Strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are being seriously considered within the Donald Trump transition team, according to the Wall Street Journal. While there is no proof Tehran is trying to make a nuclear weapon, Washington and Tel Aviv are threatening to attack Iran’s nuclear energy infrastructure.

“The military-strike option against nuclear facilities is now under more serious review by some members of his transition team,” the WSJ explained. “Iran’s weakened regional position and recent revelations of Tehran’s burgeoning nuclear work have turbocharged sensitive internal discussions, transition officials said.”

Tel Aviv is undergoing a similar debate. “The Israel Defense Forces believes that following the weakening of Iranian proxy groups in the Middle East and the dramatic fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, there is an opportunity to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities,” the Times of Israel reported on Thursday. Adding, “The Israeli Air Force has therefore continued to increase its readiness and preparations for such potential strikes in Iran.”

According to WSJ, President-elect Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have recently discussed potentially attacking Iran. “Trump has told Netanyahu in recent calls that he is concerned about an Iranian nuclear breakout on his watch.” The report continues, “The president-elect wants plans that stop short of igniting a new war, particularly one that could pull in the US military.”

The sources explained that the administration is considering two options. The first is bolstering American military presence in the Middle East while providing Israel with the ability to destroy Iranian nuclear sites without US assistance. The other option calls for American threats to force Tehran to make concessions at the negotiation table.

Whichever option Trump chooses, he is also expected to increase sanctions on Iran given his belief that he must economically cripple Tehran.

While the US intelligence community, the IAEA, the Pentagon, and Tehran all say Iran is not developing nuclear weapons, the incoming Trump administration and Tel Aviv say they are concerned the Islamic Republic will obtain a nuke. Additionally, Trump believes Tehran was behind an assassination attempt on his life.

However, Trump and Netanyahu may perceive Iran as weak, given Bashar al-Assad’s ouster in Syria and Hezbollah’s concessions in its truce with Israel. Emboldened by recent events, Washington and Tel Aviv could attempt to strike Iran, believing Tehran is vulnerable.

Mark Dubowitzchief executive of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told WSJ, “If you were going to actually do something to neutralize the nuclear-weapons program, this would be it.”

On Wednesday, Netanyahu published a video on X in English telling the Iranian people that regime change may come a lot sooner than many people think.

Massive Somali autism welfare scam uncovered in Minnesota; FBI raids underway.

A massive Somali autism welfare scam has exploded in Minnesota, capturing national attention as the FBI conducts raids amid accusations of Medicaid fraud. Over the last five years, autism providers in the state surged by a staggering 700%, jumping from 41 to 328. This spike in providers has been mirrored by a shocking rise in autism spending, soaring from $6 million to $192 million during the same period.

The FBI’s investigation has uncovered disturbing evidence of fraudulent claims for Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) services, many of which were either never provided or never eligible for coverage. One of the most glaring examples is the Smart Therapy Center in Minneapolis, which allegedly received $13.8 million in Medicaid reimbursements for services that may never have been delivered. Eyewitnesses report that many children receiving services at these centers didn’t appear to be autistic, raising serious questions about the entire operation’s legitimacy.

Even more troubling, Somalis in Minnesota are reportedly seven times more likely to receive autism services compared to other groups. This disparity has sparked outrage over the fairness and distribution of autism services in the state. The FBI’s investigation into this scandal is part of a broader probe that has already uncovered a massive $250 million fraud scheme involving child nutrition programs during the pandemic.

This scandal undermines public trust in the healthcare system, siphoning resources away from those who truly need help. The Minnesota Department of Human Services has launched its own investigation and is now scrutinizing multiple autism treatment providers. This fraudulent activity has far-reaching consequences that threaten to disrupt healthcare for vulnerable children in the state.

In a historical context, this scandal closely mirrors the Feeding Our Future case, where a $250 million fraud scheme defrauded federal child nutrition programs. The rapid expansion of autism providers and the corresponding increase in funding raised serious alarms, prompting the FBI to take swift action.

The stakes are incredibly high. The fallout from this scandal will undoubtedly be significant, further shaking public faith in the healthcare system. Accurate reporting and stricter oversight are now more crucial than ever to prevent such fraud in the future. The Minnesota community, particularly the Somali American community, is on edge as the investigation unfolds, bracing for what comes next.

Now they’re saying it out loud? Top 1% is dumping shares before a crash.

Thomas Peterffy, CEO of Interactive Brokers, revealed that the “Magnificent 7” — Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla — account for over 70% of daily trading volumes on their platform. This concentration signals a troubling lack of interest in other market sectors like industry, pharmaceuticals, and raw materials.

Think Your Email is Private? Think Again (Intelligence Agencies Monitor All Digital Communications)=

According to- brennancenter.org: Social media has become a significant source of information for U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies for purposes ranging from conducting investigations to screening travelers. This raises a host of civil rights and civil liberties concerns. Someone’s social media presence can reveal an astounding amount of personal information: beliefs, professional and personal networks, health conditions, sexuality, and more.

With that in mind, this growing — and largely unregulated — use of social media by the government is rife with risks for freedom of speech, assembly, and religion, particularly for Black, Latino, and Muslim communities, who are already targeted the most by law enforcement and intelligence efforts. Many of the agencies currently conducting social media surveillance today have a history of using this and other types of monitoring to target minorities and social movements.

2016: Kanye West says Jay Z has hitmen: “Please don’t send them at my head”

Following the lead of Donald Trump, 2020 presidential candidate Kanye West has become increasingly unhinged with some of his recent comments. During his Thursday night concert in San Jose, the Chicago rapper-producer expressed his support for the President-elect while calling on “black people [to] stop focusing on racism.” Kanye returned to the stage in Sacramento on Saturday night; over the course of the show, he called out Beyoncé for playing politics with the VMAs, suggested Jay Z “got killers,” criticized President Obama for trying too hard to be perfect, and suggested DJ Khaled engaged in payola. At one point, he said “I’m on my Trump shit tonight.” He ultimately ended his concert after 30 minutes, saying, “Right now, press, get ready to write your passive aggressive, LeBron James racist comments, Season 4, racist comments—get ready to have a field day press! Get ready! Get ready, because the show is over.”
