Departments of Defense, Labor Sued for Organizing Christian Prayer Services

A decades-old nonprofit organization has sued the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Labor (DOL) for not responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests pertaining to what they claim is “how the federal government is advancing Christian nationalism.”

Americans United (AU) for Separation of Church and State, a religious freedom advocacy organization founded in 1947 that advocates for the disassociation of religion from government, filed the lawsuits on Monday in the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C. The litigation stems from FOIA requests made in December 2025, calling on DOD and DOL to provide public records related to the planning and hosting of the departments’ Christian prayer services that have been customary dating back to May 2025.

In particular, AU is seeking records that document communications with department employees, contractors and other agencies; costs related to putting on such events; the amount of time department employees spent coordinating them; invited speakers and guests; transcripts or recordings; and any complaints from employees relating to the prayer services.

“The federal government’s role is to serve the public, not to proselytize,” Americans United President and CEO Rachel Laser said in a statement shared with Military.com. “Secretaries Hegseth and Chavez-DeRemer are abusing the power of their government positions and taxpayer-funded resources to impose their preferred religion on federal workers.

“Even if these prayer services are presented as voluntary, there is pressure on federal employees to attend in order to appease their bosses—especially since these services occur amidst the Trump administration’s campaign to punish anyone who doesn’t comply with its Christian nationalist agenda.”

When reached for comment, a Pentagon spokesperson deferred comment to the Department of Justice. Both the DOJ and DOL did not respond to inquiries from Military.com.

Your money, their rules. Super funds support Israel war machine

Australian industry super funds are investing in companies involved in the Gaza genocide, and unions are not demanding they stop.

Protected by rules putting a member’s “best financial interests” over ethical, environmental or social considerations, the vast majority of Australia’s industry superfunds are all-systems-go on pouring money into projects connected to the decimation of Gaza, dispossession in the West Bank, and bombing Israel’s neighbours.

An MWM investigation has confirmed that just two of Australia’s 20 industry super funds are making modest changes to their investment portfolios. The other 18 remain invested in Israel’s war machine, with Australian Super alone funding corporations like Elbit Systems (drones), ICL Group (white phosphorus) and Palantir (AI/software for weapons systems).

This, even as the IDF is again using the banned white phosphorus in Lebanon, in which Australian super is invested.

The two funds which did divest – Vision Super and HESTA – still have some money tied up in Israeli projects in Gaza and the West Bank. “HESTA and Vision divested from Israeli banks (but) they still have money in companies listed on a UN database as operating from Israel’s illegal settlements”, Molly Coburn from the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) told MWM.

Activist Jill Sparrow says even those modest changes could be quietly reversed “as soon as we look away”. “Divestment isn’t set and forget (and)

there’s a lot of money to be made in dropping bombs,

“so super funds could be sorely tempted”, she said.

If you’re in a union-partner industry super fund and have a problem with genocide, chances are you’re out of luck on the socially-conscious investments front. Unions routinely route members’ super into partner funds with little regard to the social or environmental impact when it’s invested.

Ethics ignored

Under 2005 rule changes, union members can transfer their super to retail super funds, Australian Ethical and Future Group, which shun companies whose work enables the carnage in Gaza. These funds show it can be done, so why have industry super funds not done it?

Instead, unions aligned with the Labor Party, under pressure from Zionist lobbyists, are content to send members’ money to super funds that aid the Israeli war effort, funding what the UN calls “a moral stain on us all”.

Russian Citizen Sentenced to Federal Prison for Hacking into U.S. Companies and Enabling Major Cybercrime Groups to Extort Tens of Millions of Dollars

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA- Aleksei Volkov, 26, of St. Petersburg, Russia, has been sentenced to 81 months in federal prison for assisting major cybercrime groups, including the Yanluowang ransomware group, carry out numerous attacks against U.S. companies and other organizations. Volkov facilitated dozens of ransomware attacks throughout the United States, causing over $9 million in actual losses and over $24 million in intended losses.

Volkov was indicted for this activity in both the Southern District of Indiana and Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Police in Rome, Italy arrested Volkov and he was extradited to the United States, where he pleaded guilty to unlawful transfer of a means of identification, trafficking in access information, access device fraud, and aggravated identity theft; as well as two counts from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania indictment, namely, conspiracy to commit computer fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering after the two cases were consolidated in the Southern District of Indiana.

According to court documents, Volkov was an “initial access broker,” that is, a person who specializes in gaining unauthorized access to computer networks and systems of corporations and organizations and selling that access to other cyber threat actors such as ransomware groups. Volkov scoured computer networks and systems for vulnerabilities, identified ways to access those networks and systems without authorization, and sold that illicit access to conspirators who were also cybercriminals.

Volkov’s conspirators then infected computer networks and systems to which Volkov had given them access with malware. This malware encrypted the victims’ data and prevented the victims from accessing it, damaging their business operations. The conspirators then demanded that the victims pay them a ransom in cryptocurrency—sometimes in the tens of millions of dollars—in exchange for restoring the victims’ access to the data and promising not to publicly disclose the hack or release victims’ stolen data on a “leak” website. In some cases, the victims paid the ransom and in others the conspirators posted the victims’ confidential data on the leak site. If the victims paid the ransom, Volkov received a share of the money.

As part of his plea, Volkov admitted that he and his co-conspirators hacked into numerous victims’ computer networks, stole their data, deployed ransomware, demanded payment in cryptocurrency to exchange for restoring access to the data, and divided the ransom payments among themselves. In fact, they demanded tens of millions of dollars in ransom and received millions. Volkov agreed to pay full restitution to victims including at least $9,167,198.19 to known victims to compensate them for their actual losses as well as to forfeit equipment he used for his crimes.

“This case shows the strength and determination of our federal prosecutors and partners to protect American companies from global cybercriminals. If you assist ransomware groups in targeting our businesses, we will use the vast resources of the federal government to ensure you face the full force of the United States justice system,” Tom Wheeler, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana.

Sinaloa Cartel Member Sentenced for Distributing Methamphetamine

Defendant Discussed Trafficking “Busloads” of Drugs into Georgia and Visit by El Raton, the Son of El Chapo

MACON, Ga. – A Mexican national and member of the Sinaloa Cartel, who was involved in a major methamphetamine and cocaine distribution organization out of Monroe, Georgia, and discussed his frustration with no longer receiving “busloads” of illegal drugs and preparing for a visit by the son of Sinaloa’s leader was sentenced to serve more than 15 years in prison for his crime resulting from an Operation Take Back America investigation led by the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations.

Jose Guadalupe Favela, 68, a citizen of Mexico and legally in the United States as a resident of Riverdale, Georgia, and formerly of Monroe, Georgia, was sentenced to 188 months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release by U.S. District Judge Tilman E. “Tripp” Self, III on March 9. Favela pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of methamphetamine on Sept. 22, 2025.

"Jose Favela was a significant operative in the Sinaloa Cartel, responsible for facilitating the distribution of massive quantities of deadly drugs into Georgia," said U.S. Attorney William R. “Will” Keyes. "Thanks to the relentless efforts of the FBI and HSI, we dismantled this cartel pipeline and brought these criminals to justice."

"Jose Favela was a key member of the Sinaloa Cartel's drug trafficking operation, responsible for bringing deadly methamphetamine and cocaine into Georgia. His actions fueled a dangerous pipeline, impacting communities across the state," said Robert Gibbs, Supervisory Senior Resident Agent of FBI Georgia’s Macon office. "Thanks to the tireless efforts of the FBI and HSI, this criminal enterprise has been dismantled, and those responsible for flooding our streets with illegal drugs will face justice."

“This sentencing demonstrates the unwavering commitment of Homeland Security Investigations and our partners to protect Georgia from the dangers posed by cartels and their drug trafficking operations,” said Steven N. Schrank, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Georgia and Alabama. “Working alongside the FBI and local law enforcement, HSI agents dismantled a major criminal network, preventing massive quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine from reaching our communities. We remain dedicated to safeguarding Georgia’s families and neighborhoods from violent crime and illegal drugs.”

Favela’s co-conspirators have all pleaded guilty and been sentenced to prison for their crimes:

Diego Garcia, 28, of Mexico and an illegal alien, was sentenced to 188 months in prison on Jan. 17, 2024, after he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine on Sept. 7, 2023;

Luis Mejina Pina, aka “La Perra,” 32, of Richmond, California, was sentenced to 48 months in prison on Dec. 3, 2025, after he pleaded guilty to one count of use of a communication facility to facilitate possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine on Sept. 18, 2025; and

Juan Pablo Torres, 32, of Mexico and an illegal alien, was sentenced to 48 months in prison on July 2, 2024, after he pleaded guilty to one count of use of a communication facility to facilitate possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine on March 15, 2024.

There is no parole in the federal system.

Federal Whistleblower Program to Hold Corporations Accountable for Fraud, Material Support of Cartels, and Criminal Aliens

RALEIGH, N.C. – U.S. Attorney W. Ellis Boyle announced the launch of a modified Eastern District of North Carolina U.S. Attorney’s Office Whistleblower Program to force accountability for corporations that engage in: fraud upon federal government programs, crimes involving criminal aliens, and supporting cartels.

“Our office focuses on companies, not just individuals, that steal taxpayer dollars from government programs, help cartels, and aid criminal aliens. Too often, companies that receive government funds are the principal actors of criminal conduct. This EDNC Whistleblower Program makes it easier for insiders, or anyone else who have knowledge of corporate crime, to come forward with that information before it is too late. Folks can win-win by stopping fraud and avoiding prison.” said U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle.

The EDNC posted the changes to the EDNC’s Whistleblower Program to the district’s website. While the EDNC already had a program that made it possible for whistleblowers to come forward, that program did not provide leniency for individuals with inside knowledge of corporate crimes involving:

Fraud upon federal government programs (including those administered by states)

International cartels or Transnational Criminal Organizations;

Money laundering;

Violations of federal immigration law;

Violations involving material support of terrorism (including support for cartels)

Corporate sanctions

Trade, Tarriff, and customs violations; and

Procurement Fraud

U.S. Attorney Boyle stated, “With these changes, we clearly proclaim that the President’s priorities are our priorities. If you have knowledge of crimes by a company, come forward, give us the information, and earn leniency. Please don’t make us catch you before you come clean, because then we will fully prosecute you to the maximum extent allowed by law.”

The EDNC Whistleblower Program provides just one way individuals with knowledge of criminal conduct can help the US Attorney’s Office hold corporate criminals accountable. This program compliments - and does not replace - the ability of an individual to file a private Qui Tam lawsuit on behalf of the United States, against a company that engages in a fraud against the government.

Former St. Louis Area Pediatrician Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Exchanging Prescriptions for Sex Acts

ST. LOUIS – U.S. District Judge John A. Ross on Tuersday sentenced a former St. Louis County, Missouri pediatrician to 20 years in prison for prescribing pain pills and other controlled substances in exchange for sex acts, nude photos or cash.

From at least 2014 through May of 2023, Craig A. Spiegel, now 70, exploited his position to obtain cash, sexual acts or sexual photographs from at least 19 patients, many of whom he began treating as children. Spiegel illegally distributed an “astronomical amount of drugs,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy Sestric said in court. Rather than referring patients with a substance use disorder to treatment, Spiegel exploited their disease for his own gratification and prescribed dangerous combinations of addictive drugs to those vulnerable victims. Spiegel pressured and harassed reluctant patients via text messages and became sexually violent with at least one victim, Sestric said. Spiegel met one of his victims when she was only about seven or eight years old and initiated sexual contact years later by preying on her vulnerability when she was going through a divorce, a sentencing memo filed by Sestric said.

Spiegel admitted prescribing controlled substances to his co-defendant, April Bingham, in exchange for sexual favors. He knew that she was selling some of the drugs, and that she was addicted. He prescribed drugs to Bingham using the names of friends and relatives in part to take advantage of their insurance benefits. Bingham then introduced Spiegel to others who paid him or performed sex acts in exchange for controlled substances.

Spiegel’s crimes were only thwarted by an investigation that began with the Bridgeton Police Department. After his indictment, Spiegel lied in an April 2025 hearing in U.S. District Court in St. Louis while accusing police officers of illegally searching his cellular phone. Spiegel falsely claimed, in court and under oath, that he had not signed a consent form authorizing the search of his cellular phone until after the cellular phone data had been extracted by investigators.

The Bridgeton Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), the FBI, and the Missouri Attorney General’s Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Amy Sestric and Jonathan Clow prosecuted the case.

“Dr. Craig Spiegel is no better than a street-level drug dealer. He knowingly exploited individuals struggling with addiction, not to treat them, but to keep them dependent,” said Special Agent in Charge Chris Crocker of the FBI St. Louis Division. “For years, he fueled that addiction to ensure a steady stream of victims for his own sexual gratification. Spiegel didn’t just violate his oath as a physician, he preyed on vulnerable women and put their lives at serious risk of overdose.”

Ringleader of Fentanyl Trafficking Network Sentenced in Orchestrating Drug Imports from Federal Prison Cell

Defendant Ran International Narcotics Pipeline Using a Contraband Phone While Incarcerated at Fort Dix

WASHINGTON – Samuel Braxton, 57, aka “Fats,” of Temple Hills, Maryland, was sentenced today to 162 months in federal prison for leading a drug trafficking organization that imported and distributed massive quantities of fentanyl, fentanyl analogue, and heroin in the Washington metropolitan area — all while he was incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.

Braxton pleaded guilty Dec. 8, 2025, before Judge Trevor N. McFadden to conspiracy to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl, 100 grams or more of a fentanyl analogue, and 100 grams or more of heroin. In addition to the prison term, Judge McFadden ordered Braxton to serve five years of supervised release.

“Braxton’s criminal history spans 36 years and includes four drug trafficking convictions. In his latest offense, he orchestrated an international narcotics pipeline—all while inside a federal prison cell,” said U.S. Attorney Pirro. “Now, Braxton will spend more than 13 additional years behind bars. Together with the DEA and our law enforcement partners, we will hold traffickers at every level of the production and distribution chain accountable.”

According to court documents, Braxton was the top and unifying member of a drug trafficking conspiracy involving at least eight individuals that operated from at least July 2021 until November 2023.

Using a contraband cell phone from his housing unit at Fort Dix where he was serving a sentence for a prior federal drug conviction, Braxton brokered connections between foreign nationals who supplied kilogram quantities of fentanyl, fentanyl analogue, and heroin, and co-conspirators Wayne Glymph and Ronnie Rogers, who received, cut, repackaged, and redistributed the drugs throughout the Washington area. Court-authorized wiretaps were placed on Braxton's contraband phone, and the phone was ultimately seized from his housing unit by law enforcement during the investigation.

After The Epstein Files, It's Become All But Impossible To Believe He Killed Himself

As soon as the feds announced Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while awaiting prosecution on charges of sex trafficking, the popular reaction was disbelief: “Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself” quickly became an internet meme. And now, with the release of the Epstein Files, it’s only become harder — if not all but impossible — to believe the official story that Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself in the Manhattan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019.

The “Suicide”

The DoJ’s Inspector General released a report that officially concluded there was no reason to doubt the suicide story, but actually contains many disturbing details if you read the included evidence. As summarized by JustFacts:

Federal prison officials placed Epstein in a cell with a murderous, hulking ex-cop — a death trap for any child molester.

Less than two weeks later, prison guards found Epstein in the middle of the night in a semiconscious state with a rope and “friction marks” around his neck.

Despite a court order requiring the prison to preserve video surveillance footage near Epstein’s cell during the strangulation, federal prison officials failed to do so and also lost the backup due to “technical errors.”

Federal prison officials took Epstein off “suicide watch” just one day after the strangulation without determining whether Epstein was attacked by his cellmate or tried to commit suicide.

One day before Epstein’s death, federal prison officials removed his new cellmate and didn’t replace him. They did this even though a prison psychologist sent an email to over 70 prison staffers stating that Epstein “needs” a cellmate — a common suicide prevention measure.

One day before Epstein’s death, a federal court unsealed more than 2,000 pages of lawsuit records that named and implicated wealthy and powerful people in Epstein’s sex crimes, as well as federal officials in covering up the crimes.

One day before Epstein’s death, federal prison officials permitted Epstein to make a completely unmonitored phone call in direct violation of prison policy and under patently false pretenses.

Federal officers placed a hoard of linens in Epstein’s cell, which is commonly prohibited because they can be used to create nooses.

Federal officers left Epstein alone in his cell for nearly eight hours on the night he died — despite the fact that they were required to check on all inmates in his unit “at least twice per hour” and were only 15 feet from Epstein’s cell.

Federal officers falsified records to show that they had checked on Epstein, a violation of federal law punishable by up to five years in prison.

Federal prosecutors “dismissed all charges pending against” the two officers who falsified the records and “declined” to prosecute others who “falsely certified inmate countslips and round sheets on the day before and the day of Epstein’s death.”

Federal prison officials failed to record footage from 9 of the 11 surveillance cameras around Epstein’s cell on the night of his death, including one that showed Epstein’s cell tier and cell door.

The FBI agents who searched Epstein’s New York mansion found and then abandoned a sexually explicit trove of photos and CDs labeled with the names of “young” females alongside people other than Epstein. This allowed one of Epstein’s most notorious accomplices to take the evidence and potentially scrub it before giving it to the feds.

To this day, the federal government hasn’t revealed the names of the people that were written beside the “young” females on Epstein’s CDs.

Hours before Epstein’s reported suicide, he made an unmonitored call to his girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak. She told friends Epstein gave no indication he was thinking of harming himself. The New York Times asked the Bureau of Prisons for his full call logs; “those logs show only one social call during his stay, more than a week earlier, to Shuliak.” In other words, the logs omitted this critical call. To date there is no knowledge of its contents, beyond Shuliak saying Epstein appeared to be in good spirits.

SCHMITT: “The only reason Democrats want to unmask ICE agents is they want facial recognition software to identify these ICE agents and harass their families, so nobody want to be an ICE agent again.”

“We lived through this with the defund the police movement, where you saw a drop in people who wanted to be police officers.”

“We’re not doing that again.”

“We’re also not going to make it harder for them to do their job, with all the hurdles the Democrats want them to jump through.”

ABC’s Anthony Green is happy with rigged electoral system, calls us ‘conspiracy site’

THE ABC’s election guru Anthony Green has defended the Australian electoral system after a poster on X complained about Labor’s disproportionate seat haul in the South Australian elections.

“Australians will tell you there’s no propaganda here then turn on the TV to watch Antony Green tell them that this sort of thing is fine,”, a poster called “Wheelreinventor” said in reference to the figures in the chart (above) that he posted.

“An electoral system that can produce this result from these preferences isn’t a democracy, it’s a corrupt joke.” Cairns News agrees and asks how a party whose primary vote fell by 2.4% can increase its seats in the Lower House.

Responding, Green disingenuously suggested that because the present electoral system has been around for a long time we should accept it.

“Mate, if you want to advocate proportional representation, fine. But we have used single member electorates for 125 years. Chucking around words like “corrupt” just feeds the crazies who think someone is suddenly stealing election. Talk about irresponsible,” Green said in response.

Wheelinventor responded: “The purpose of a system is what is does. If it’s been around 125 yrs and consistently benefits the major parties in that time, then… I think it’s irresponsible to get on TV for decades and neglect to tell people that their system is corrupt, disproportionate, and wastes votes.

“I understand how it works just fine – I’m saying that the way it works is bad and designed to perpetuate the 2 party duopoly.”

Former so-called independent politician Tony Winsdor joined the fray and sucked up to Green: “I admire your tenacity Antony in explaining how our electoral system works to those who have no idea. Education is invaluable and someone with your credibility is the right man for the job.”

The AI (Grok)-based X news update reported the following update on the SA election:

“Peter Malinauskas’s Labor secured a commanding second term, claiming at least 33 seats in the 47-seat House of Assembly for a historic majority.

“One Nation locked in two lower house seats like Robert Roylance in Hammond, leads in up to three more, and eyes at least three in the Legislative Council, siphoning votes from a Liberal Party, down to just four seats.

“The result highlights deep discontent over cost-of-living and immigration, with Labor at 37.6% primary vote boosted by preferences, while reactions range from Labor’s online critiques to praise for One Nation’s national momentum shown in recent polls.”
