Claudia Sheinbaum
Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo[a] (born 24 June 1962) is a Mexican politician, scientist, and academic who since 2024 has been the 66th president of Mexico, and the first woman to hold the office.[2][3][4] She previously served as Head of Government of Mexico City from 2018 to 2023. In 2024, Forbes ranked Sheinbaum as the fourth most powerful woman in the world.[5]
A scientist by profession, Sheinbaum received her Doctor of Philosophy in energy engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She has co-authored over 100 articles and two books on energy, the environment, and sustainable development. She contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and, in 2018, was named one of BBC's 100 Women.[6]
In 1989, Sheinbaum joined the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD). From 2000 to 2006, Sheinbaum served as secretary of the environment in the Federal District under Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who was then head of government. In 2014, she left the PRD and joined López Obrador's splinter movement, Morena. She was mayor of the borough of Tlalpan from 2015 to 2017. She was elected head of government of Mexico City in the 2018 election, where she ran a campaign that emphasized curbing crime and enforcing zoning laws.[7]
In June 2023, Sheinbaum resigned from her position as mayor to seek Morena's presidential nomination in the 2024 election. In September 2023, she secured the party's nomination over her closest opponent, former foreign secretary Marcelo Ebrard.[8] In June 2024, Sheinbaum won the general election in a landslide against the National Action Party (PAN) candidate Xóchitl Gálvez. She assumed office on 1 October 2024.[9]
Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo was born on 24 June 1962 in Mexico City, within a secular Mexican Jewish family.[10][11] She is the second child of chemist Carlos Sheinbaum Yoselevitz and biologist Annie Pardo Cemo.[12][13]
Carlos Sheinbaum was of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His father, Chone Juan Sheinbaum Abramovitz,[14] had emigrated from Lithuania in 1928, becoming a jewelry merchant and a member of the Mexican Communist Party. Annie Pardo is from a Sephardi Jewish family who arrived in Mexico in 1942, fleeing from the persecution of Jews in Bulgaria during World War II.[15] Pardo became the first Sephardic woman to be an academic at the Instituto Politécnico Nacional.[14][16]
Sheinbaum's parents were actively involved in Mexican left-wing circles during the 1960s, participating in protests, workers' movements, and student uprisings.[17]
Sheinbaum has two siblings. Her older brother Julio is a physicist[18] and physical oceanography researcher at CICESE.[19] Her younger sister Adriana is a teacher[20] who lives in the United States and is married to film director Rodrigo García Barcha.[21]

The Romneys’ Mexican History
Héctor Tobar
May 2012
Mitt Romney’s father was born in a small Mormon enclave where family members still live, surrounded by rugged beauty and violent drug cartels
My journey to the Mormon heartland of Mexico began in a gloomy bar in Ciudad Juárez, just a short walk from the bridge over the Rio Grande and the U.S. border.
I ordered a margarita, a decidedly un-Mormon thing to do. But otherwise I was faithfully following in the footsteps of the pioneers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, many of whom once passed through Ciudad Juárez on their way to build settlements in the remote mountains and foothills of northern Chihuahua.
Back in the late 19th century, the pioneers traveled by wagon or train. Neither conveyance is used much in northern Mexico these days. I arrived in El Paso from Los Angeles via airplane, and would travel by car from the border on a mission to see the Mormon colonies where Mitt Romney’s father, George, was born.
Mitt Romney, who is vying to be the next president of the United States, has family roots in Mexico. And not in just any part of Mexico, but in a place famous for producing true hombres, a rural frontier where thousands of Mormons still live, and where settling differences at the point of a gun has been a tragically resilient tradition.
These days northern Chihuahua is being ravaged by the so-called cartel drug wars, making Ciudad Juárez the most notoriously dangerous city in the Western Hemisphere. “Murder City,” the writer Charles Bowden called it in his most recent book.
I entered Ciudad Juárez just as a gorgeous canopy of lemon and tangerine twilight was settling over the border.
It isn’t advisable to travel through northern Chihuahua after dark, so I was going to have to spend a night in Ciudad Juárez before heading to the Mormon settlements, 170 miles to the south. Thus my visit to the Kentucky Club, where Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and assorted other stars downed cocktails.
“They say this is where the margarita was invented,” I told the bartender in Spanish.
“Así es,” he answered. I consider myself something of a margarita connoisseur, and this one was unremarkable. So was the bar’s wood décor. Honestly, there are two dozen Mexican-themed bars in Greater Los Angeles with better atmosphere.
Still, one has to give the watering hole credit just for staying open given the general sense of abandonment that has overtaken the old tourist haunts of Ciudad Juárez. Devout Mormons have always avoided the debauchery on offer there. Now everyone else does too.
On a Sunday night, the once vibrant commercial strips by the international bridges presented a forlorn sight. I saw sidewalks empty of pedestrian traffic leading to shuttered nightclubs and crumbling adobe buildings, all patrolled by the occasional squad of body-armored soldiers in pickup trucks toting charcoal-colored automatic weapons.

Now, ask yourself a question, if you had "family" in Mexican drug cartel territory AND you were a high echelon politcal player with some other high profile friends in Calif. what could you do? KInda makes ya wonder doesn't it? Think about the profits and proceeds that could come your way, that you can then disburse among your, "friends" that help you accomplish you and your "employers" goals.
The dawn chorus?

Do you ever think about anything else? Go play with your Himmler doll or something.
Is she referring to the voices in her head?
Fuck this atheist clown.
Maybe I should listen to all of it first.
I stand corrected, this guy seems to have some interesting info. Never heard of him before.
How long did it take the ash from the St. Helen's eruption to harden? Just because something is deep doesn't necessarily mean it's really old. It depends on the type of deposition.
Do you defend what the Gazan people did to the Israeli's?
Look dumb ass, if (you) pick a fight and then get your ass kicked, who's fault is it?
You are a waste of time because all you ever see is, "Jews. What about all those Iranians causing death all over huh? What about them? Why do they want nukes in the first place?
Do you even know what carbon is? How about the fact that anything living is comprised of carbon? That is WHY we are defined as a carbon based life form. ALL life forms on this planet are carbon based.
Buh bye shill.
I would agree that there are some corrupt Jews, along with corrupt Americans, Italians, Catholics, Protestants, etc. How corrupt do you think the Pope is? He is just as bad, if not worse, than most. What about that?
A shill complaining about number of posts? Get fucked shill.
I am. Been here for many years now.
I can see your shilliness by the way you try to argue. It oozes from your pores.

So fucking what? Why don't you just say a criminal? That's what it is. Criminal bankers, it has NOTHING to do with ethnicity or religion at all, except that's ALL you see.

Have you ever read the bible? I have. YOU don't run the show, God does.
What nation would that be?
What time frame was this? Before 9-11 presumably.
I'm lazy? How about you doing some work?
Milton William Cooper
Milton William "Bill" Cooper (May 6, 1943 – November 5, 2001) was an American conspiracy theorist, radio broadcaster, and author known for his 1991 book Behold a Pale Horse, in which he warned of multiple global conspiracies, some involving extraterrestrial life.[1][2][3] Cooper also described HIV/AIDS as a man-made disease used to target blacks, Hispanics, and homosexuals, and that a cure was made before it was implemented.[4] He has been described as a "militia theoretician".[5] Cooper was killed in 2001 by sheriff's deputies after he shot at them during an attempted arrest.
Little is known about Cooper's background and education, beyond the information supplied in his own accounts. He claimed to have served in the United States Navy, the United States Air Force, and Naval Intelligence until his discharge in 1975;[6] however, public records only indicate a period of service in the Navy with a ratings code of E-5/Sergeant (Petty officer second class in the Navy), including a tour of duty in Vietnam with two service medals.[7] At the end of the war, while working in naval intelligence, Cooper served on a briefing team for Admiral Bernard A. Clarey.[8] He then attended a junior college in California, and worked for several technical and vocational schools before making his conspiracy theories known, beginning in 1988. Cooper expanded the speculations of earlier conspiracists by incorporating government involvement with extraterrestrials as a central theme.[9]
Cooper gained attention in Ufology circles in 1988 when he claimed to have seen secret documents while in the Navy describing governmental dealings with extraterrestrials, a topic on which he expounded in Behold a Pale Horse.[6] By one account he served as a "low level clerk" in the Navy, and as such would not have had the security clearance needed to access classified documents.[14] In the Summer of 1988, Cooper made his first public comments on the ParaNet Bulletin Board System, an early UFO message board, claiming that in 1966 he was serving aboard the USS Tiru when he and fellow Navy personnel witnessed a metal craft "larger than a football field" repeatedly enter and exit the water.[15] Cooper claimed he was instructed by superiors to never speak about the incident.[15] Biographer Mark Jacobson argues "the Tiru incident itself would not have done much to make Cooper's name in ufology. That opportunity came only a few days later" when he was contacted by fellow ParaNet poster John Lear. Lear, the son of Learjet founder Bill Lear, identified as a pilot who had flown missions for the CIA.[15] Lear was the author of a post titled "The UFO Coverup" which incorporated elements of mythos from Paul Bennewitz, a ufologist who was later revealed to have been fed disinformation by American counter-intelligence agent Richard C. Doty.[15][16] Cooper soon visited Lear, and the two spent much time together from 1988 to 1990.[15]
Cooper's views were heavily influenced by Lear and his story of alien collusion with secret governmental forces.[8] In 1989, the two released an "indictment" against the US Government for "aiding and abetting and concealing this Alien Nation which exists in our borders".[8] In 2018, columnist Colin Dickey noted the pair's influence, writing "in the early years [UFO writers] did not, by and large, embrace strong political positions. They were the tip of a spear asserting that the number one thing we had to fear was not little green men, but the government that colluded with them, appropriating their technology against us."[8] Cooper and Lear's collaboration lasted for a few years, after which Cooper accused Lear of being a CIA plant.[8]

He does seems sketchy I gotta admit. Would not be surprised if he was a clown plant that outlived its usefulness.
Probably. You can never really destroy matter, but you can alter its chemical composition.
It's more than the complainer did wasn't it? I'm sure the board operators know I'm not a shill after all this time. At least I would hope so by now.
What is known about the deadly air crash between a passenger jet and a US Army helicopter
ByJOSH FUNK Associated Press
March 26, 2025, 9:06 PM
Congress will hold a hearing Thursday morning about what we know so far about the deadly midair collision above the nation's capital that killed 67 people in January and what might have caused it.
The head of the National Transportation Safety Board that is investigating the crash will appear along with the leaders of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Army's aviation division to answer questions in the Senate.
There will almost certainly be questions about the 85 dangerous close calls between planes and helicopters near Washington's Ronald Reagan National Airport that the NTSB identified in the three years before the crash and why officials didn't do something about them. Lawmakers on the Commerce Committee that oversees aviation have also questioned why the Army routinely operated helicopters through the area with a key safety system that is supposed to notify other aircraft and the tower about their location turned off.
Both of the top ranking members of the committee — Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Washington Democrat Maria Cantwell — have sent letters demanding answers from the Army about how often and why their Black Hawks have operated in around Washington D.C. without transmitting location data.
NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said earlier this month that the close proximity of planes and helicopters in Washington, D.C., represented an “intolerable risk to aviation safety” that the FAA should have spotted sooner.
Homendy said Wednesday that the FAA needs to do more to analyze the safety data it posses. “The next accident is in the data right now. And what are we doing to figure out what that is?” she said.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy promised to use artificial intelligence to review data from other airports to identify any similar risks elsewhere — particularly in eight metro areas with busy helicopter routes: Boston, New York, Baltimore-Washington, Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles.
Investigators are still in the early stages of determining why the American Airlines passenger jet and Army helicopter collided as the plane prepared to land Jan. 29. Both plunged into the Potomac River, killing everyone aboard. It will likely take more than a year to complete the final report.
Investigators previously said the helicopter may have had inaccurate altitude readings in the moments before the crash, and the crew may not have heard key instructions from air traffic controllers.
The collision was the deadliest plane crash in the U.S. since 2001, when a jet slammed into a New York City neighborhood just after takeoff, killing all 260 people on board and five more on the ground.
A string of crashes this year along with a near miss have brought attention to air travel, which remains overwhelmingly safe. On Jan. 31 a medical transport jet crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood, killing seven. On Feb. 6 a small commuter aircraft went down off western Alaska, killing 10. On Feb. 17, a Delta plane crashed and flipped over upon landing in Toronto. Two small planes collided in midair in Arizona on Feb. 19, killing two people. And there was a scary moment Feb. 25 in Chicago when a Southwest Airlines plane came within 200 feet of crashing into another plane crossing the runway before it aborted its landing to avoid it.
Here's a look at the Jan. 29 crash in Washington:
American Airlines Flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas, was carrying 60 passengers and four crew members as it approached to land on a clear night. Nearby, the Army Black Hawk, with three soldiers on board, was practicing emergency evacuation routes that would be used to ferry out key government officials in an attack or catastrophe.
Investigators said they believe the helicopter crew was wearing night-vision goggles that would have limited their peripheral vision.
A few minutes before the twin-engine jet was to land, air traffic controllers asked if it could use a shorter runway. The pilots agreed, and flight-tracking sites show the plane turned to adjust its approach. The NTSB now says that any time that runway is used — the one in question accounts for about 5% of the airport's flights — the helicopter route should be shut down.
Shortly before the collision, a controller got an alert saying the plane and Black Hawk were converging and asked the helicopter if it had the jet in sight. The military pilot said yes and asked for “visual separation” with the jet for a second time, allowing it to fly closer than if the pilots couldn't see the plane. Controllers approved the request.
Roughly 20 seconds later, the aircraft collided.
