👀 MK Ultra hearing:

Participant documented he was "able to replace true memories with false memories in people without their knowledge"

He clarified:

It's "feasible to take the memory of a definite event in the life of an individual, and through hypnotic suggestion, bring about the subsequent conscious recall to the effect that this event never actually took place.

But that a different fictional event actually did occur."

The USGOV has been able to do mind control since the 1950s. Imagine what they're doing now.

Spanish government ‘quietly bans use of Palantir’ in critical state systems over fears of national security leaks

The Spanish government has reportedly begun telling state-backed firms to avoid signing new contacts with US billionaire Peter Thiel’s company.

It comes amid fears that sensitive national security information could be leaked, according to Spanish publication El Confidencial.

Board members of several publicly listed companies told the newspaper they have been ordered to avoid signing any contracts with the data firm that could jeopardise national sovereignty or strategic information.

Moncloa, Spain’s official government website, has not issued any official announcement about banning Palantir outright.

But sources told El Confidencial that public and private companies controlled by SEPI, the country’s sovereign wealth fund and state-owned industrial holding company, have been told to blacklist the data firm.

Chrome and Firefox Free VPN extensions caught stealing clipboard data

Two browser extensions masquerading as free VPN services were transformed into clipboard stealers through malicious updates.

The Chrome and Firefox add-ons retained working proxy functionality to appear legitimate while secretly monitoring copied data and transmitting it to attacker-controlled servers.

Socket reports the two extensions operate under the VPN Go: Free VPN branding. At the time of the investigation, the Chrome extension had 146 users on the Chrome Web Store, while the Firefox version had 3,499 users on Mozilla Add-ons. Socket said it has reported both extensions to Google and Mozilla for review and removal.

The Chrome extension initially appeared benign. Version 1.0, released on December 22, 2025, functioned solely as a proxy extension. The malicious functionality first appeared in version 1.1, published on May 31, 2026, when the developer added the clipboardRead permission and a content script that executed on every website.

The new code polled the clipboard every 500 milliseconds, ignored duplicate entries, split copied text into roughly 1,000-character chunks, generated a session identifier, and passed the data to a background service worker for exfiltration.

Clipboard stealers are particularly effective because users routinely copy passwords, MFA codes, API keys, OAuth tokens, cloud credentials, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, and recovery phrases. By abusing browser permissions rather than exploiting the operating system, attackers can capture these secrets with little user visibility.

The Firefox extension followed the same pattern. Versions through 1.3.2 behaved as ordinary proxy extensions, but version 1.3.3 introduced clipboard monitoring and exfiltration.

Unlike Chrome, which used a content script and background messaging, Firefox implemented the entire clipboard theft routine in its background script, polling the clipboard every 1.5 seconds before uploading newly copied text to the attacker's infrastructure.

Socket reports that both extensions share the same infrastructure, use nearly identical clipboard collection and exfiltration logic, and the Chrome package even contains Firefox-specific configuration data, including the Firefox extension ID, suggesting a common codebase or build process.

The researchers noted that both extensions could retrieve proxy locations, store proxy credentials, and route browser traffic through remote servers. This legitimate functionality helps build trust and provides a convincing reason for the extensive browser permissions required by the extensions.

Socket recommends users immediately remove VPN Go: Free VPN from Chrome and Free VPN by VPN GO from Firefox. Any passwords, API keys, OAuth tokens, cloud credentials, cryptocurrency recovery material, or other sensitive information copied while either extension was installed should be considered compromised.

15 years ago, in 2011, the chief executive of National Grid said that “families would have to get used to only using power when it was available, rather than constantly” when the UK switched from gas to relying on wind turbines to power the nation.

Ex-CIA Chief John Brennan Sues Trump, Admin Officials Over Allegedly Vindictive Investigations

Former CIA Director John Brennan is seeking a court order requiring the Trump administration to retain records related to allegedly vindictive investigations into him and his involvement in probing alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

While the Justice Department hadn't formally brought an indictment against Brennan, his lawsuit noted that it had undertaken grand jury investigations in recent months. He accused prosecutors of abusing their authority and said there was reason to believe the administration wasn't preserving records as required under law.

Brennan said the judge's order was necessary to preserve his constitutional rights and evidence that he could use to prove vindictiveness in a would-be prosecution.

"This Administration has adopted a policy of using criminal process and prosecution to punish the President's perceived adversaries," Brennan's legal team wrote in the court filing.

"It is against this backdrop that former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John O. Brennan … is being vindictively singled out for investigation and prosecution."

The lawsuit filed by Brennan's legal team on Wednesday names President Donald Trump, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other government officials as defendants.

A Justice Department spokesperson told The Epoch Times, "While we cannot comment on the existence, or lack thereof, of an investigation, it is certainly rich that John Brennan is accusing anyone of a 'retribution campaign.'"

Brennan's lawsuit focused on two investigations. One centered on an alleged conspiracy to deprive Trump of his rights by probing alleged Russian interference. Another was related to statements he made to Congress regarding an intelligence community assessment of Russian influence during the election.

Brennan's legal team said Justice Department officials have "taken steps that clearly violate well-established norms and limitations on prosecutorial conduct" as part of the Trump administration's investigations.

"Those overreaching actions have violated Director Brennan's constitutional rights and will serve as the basis for challenges to any resulting charges, including motions to dismiss any indictment on the grounds that it is the result of selective and vindictive prosecution," they wrote.

The lawsuit noted that the examination of prosecutors' emails, texts, and other communications would allow the courts to determine if decisions were based on legitimate law enforcement concerns or an effort to "selectively" and "vindictively" prosecute the former CIA director.

‘Israel is destroying my country’: Tucker Carlson to start third party after GOP break

In a Columbia Journalism Review interview, the former Fox host says Trump’s Iran war shattered the GOP’s ‘America first’ promise and exposed the need to break the two-party system

Tucker Carlson, one of the most influential conservative media figures in the United States, said Israel pushed President Donald Trump into a regime-change war with Iran and argued that the conflict proved the need for a new political party, according to an interview with Columbia Journalism Review.

Carlson, a former Fox News host and once a close Trump ally, said he has not spoken to the president since the war began and accused him of betraying the “America first” principles that helped return him to the White House. “I’m going to help build a third party,” Carlson told the magazine. “There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country.”

The interview placed Carlson’s break with Trump squarely around Israel and Iran. Carlson said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s early visit to the White House after Trump’s inauguration in 2025 made him believe Israel was trying to steer the administration toward war with Tehran.

“This is a little early to be siphoning off the energy from this campaign and this election for the benefit of another country,” Carlson recalled thinking. “And I resented it.” He said he quickly concluded that the purpose of those contacts was “a regime-change effort in Iran.”

Carlson described the June 2025 Twelve-Day War as the moment that transformed his political life. “The breaking point and the huge change in my life came in June of 2025, with the Twelve-Day War, which was not about Iran’s nuclear program,” he said. “It was the first salvo in a regime-change effort led by Israel. And that’s just antithetical to everything Trump ran on.”

Carlson said he had repeatedly warned Trump not to attack Iran, including in private meetings at the White House. “I visited him three times at the White House in the month before the Twelve-Day War, and I told him the same thing all three times: ‘You’re not gonna see the rise of a democratic, pro-Western government in Tehran,’” he said.

Asked whether he still speaks to Trump, Carlson replied: “I haven’t spoken to him since the regime-change war began. I’m not interested in talking to him. I feel sorry for him. He’s not a man in charge of his own life at this point.”

Carlson, who hosts The Tucker Carlson Show from his barn studio in Maine, said he had long avoided talking publicly about Israel despite having visited the country several times. He said he believed criticism of Israel was often treated as criticism of all Jews, a dynamic he said made the subject feel too personal and politically dangerous.

“I certainly did not anticipate talking about Israel,” Carlson said. “I had been on TV for thirty years. I don’t think I had ever really talked about Israel. From my perspective, I got pushed into it.”

He said the Iran war changed that calculation. “I’ve been to Israel several times, both for work and as a visitor. I love Jerusalem, amazing city, but I’m not interested in Israel,” he said. “But once you start taking over my political system and destroying my country, then I have a right to care. So now I do care.”

Carlson described the U.S. memorandum of understanding with Iran as “a humiliating defeat for the United States,” but said it was still better than continuing the war. He also argued that Israel had overestimated its power in the conflict. “Imagine it from Israel’s perspective: you think you’re gonna be the regional hegemon, and then, three months later, Iran becomes a global power. It’s a freaking nightmare,” he said.

His criticism of Trump has grown more forceful since the war began. Carlson had been a frequent presence around Trump during the 2024 campaign and urged him to choose JD Vance as his running mate. But in the interview, Carlson said the Iran war showed that voters who backed Trump to avoid foreign entanglements had still ended up with regime change.

“If you vote for Trump and you still wind up in a regime-change war, if Chuck Schumer is strongly behind Trump’s foreign policy, which he is, then we need options,” Carlson said. “We need a third party.”
