The Dream Factory: Inside the 'cruel' system behind Argentina's soccer empire
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – There was something off about the yellow house on Gallardo Street. Teenage boys came and went. Inside, a makeshift pub served fans of the local fútbol club before they filed into the stadium down the street. The house had orange and black stripes, tiny security cameras that twitched like eyes, and, over the entrance, a colorful mural of palm trees and late-model trucks.
One day a neighbor informed authorities that the house was filled with children living in "inhumane conditions." Police set up a raid, bringing along a small army of social workers, psychologists, city inspectors and medics. When they got inside, the house was dark and quiet, the morning light filtered by newspaper taped over the windows. The rooms smelled of moldering laundry, teenagers and cleats.
Watch "The Dream Factory" on ESPN
ESPN followed one boy's journey through Argentina's professional soccer system, uncovering widespread exploitation and abuse. "The Dream Factory" is streaming on ESPN, available on YouTube and will air on ESPN2 on Tuesday, June 30, at 9 p.m. ET.
Three dozen boys, ages 12 to their early 20s, were living in the one-story house. The landlord was a stocky man who went by the nickname El Zurdo, or Lefty. He told police he was the guardian for every boy and had the papers to prove it. "I'm not their biological father, but I'm their father," El Zurdo would later say. When the inspectors asked him for permits, he couldn't produce any.
The boys were herded into the dining room for questioning. Among themselves, they knew that there wasn't enough food at times and that El Zurdo could be temperamental. But they didn't tell that to the adults who had come to check on their welfare. They all dreamed of becoming professional soccer players, the heirs to Lionel Messi and the reigning World Cup champions, and that dream lived with them inside the yellow house.
Two years later, in April 2025, I visited Gallardo Street, on the gritty western edge of Buenos Aires. By then I'd heard many stories about the system that produces world-class soccer players in Argentina. Some used words like "cruel" and "ugly" to describe it. One mother explained how her son was forced to survive on chicken carcasses and rice laced with black bugs. Another mother handed me an audio recording of her pleading with a club owner to turn in the coach who molested her son.
"This happens everywhere," the owner says on the recording. "I've seen this on five different teams."
The house on Gallardo was supposed to be closed. After the raid, the city issued a 10-day eviction notice, according to an investigative document. But on the warm afternoon when I showed up, I found El Zurdo standing in the kitchen, the house filled with his many children.
IN MARCH 2018, Argentina woke up to the realization that beneath the country's intense passion for fútbol was "an underworld of young people – in the custody of adults who aren't their parents," as one Buenos Aires legislator told me.
Independiente, one of the country's premier clubs, had disclosed that a half-dozen men sexually assaulted some of its young prospects. The boys lived at the team's pensión, the name in Spanish for a dormitory used to board players as young as 10. The pedophiles had treated the pensión as a kind of pond in which they fished for young victims.
Like many people in Argentina, the lead investigator in the case, María Soledad Garibaldi, had never heard of a pensión for young futbolistas. She and her colleagues interviewedsome 50 boys. Nearly all had been "groomed" or illegally lured by men over social media; more than a dozen had been sexually abused, she found.
Garibaldi noticed a consistency to the players' backgrounds. Most had traveled great distances from Argentina's interior, where a quarter to a third of the population lives in poverty. They were unpaid for their labor, isolated inside the pensión with only their teammates and their dreams. The predators sensed how to exploit these conditions. One 15-year-old said he was lured to perform sex acts in exchange for bus fare so he could travel home for Mother's Day.
"This is a case where the vulnerable meets the perverse," a team psychologist explained to Garibaldi…

Inside the dystopian world of Germany’s free speech crackdown. 1/6. Must Read
Mon, July 20, 2026 at 1:00 AM EDT
Dr Rainer Zitelmann doesn't even remember posting the meme on social media that nearly landed him in prison.
"When I opened the letter from police, I thought it was a misunderstanding," Dr Zitelmann, a German historian and author of about 30 books, told The Telegraph.
Berlin police told Dr Zitelmann he had been accused of violating a post-Second World War law that bans the display of Nazi symbols, slogans and imagery – and could now face three years in prison if found guilty.
The 69-year-old found out the offending social media post was a meme about Adolf Hitler. But it was one in which he criticised the Nazi dictator and compared his invasion of Czechoslovakia to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
"It was crystal clear the post was negative … I was saying that Putin is so bad he is like Hitler," he explains from his study in Berlin, surrounded by hundreds of books about the rise of fascism, including his own doctoral thesis. "The comparison only works if you think Hitler was evil."
He lets out an ironic chuckle at the absurdity of it all: after decades of excoriating the Nazis in his books, a mere click of a mouse led to accusations of him being one.
Dr Zitelmann is one of thousands of Germans who have been threatened with fines or prison sentences for social media posts that fall foul of the country's political speech laws, which are unusually stringent for an EU member state.
Some of the cases are sinister and farcical in equal measure.
One German had his home raided for calling a minister a "Schwachkopf [dummy]" while another was fined €2,000 (£1,700) for calling Friedrich Merz a "lying Fritz" under a law that, critics claim, makes it effectively illegal to make fun of politicians.
The number of investigations under Section 86a, the Nazi symbols ban that Dr Zitelmann was investigated for, has more than doubled over the past decade according to official police statistics. Investigations into the "political insult" law also reached record levels in 2025.
The surge in cases is so vast that the UN has launched an investigation into free speech violations in Germany, a step typically reserved for dictatorships and banana republics.
German free speech activists on the Left and Right, as well as the Trump administration, have also raised the alarm and there are growing calls for some of the country's stricter laws to be scrapped.
The furore bears some similarities to the free speech debate in Britain, where citizens have had a knock on the door from police over opinions posted online.
Alternative for Germany (AfD), the Right-wing populist party topping the polls, has seized on the free speech row as a sign, in its eyes, that the country faces its biggest crackdown on free speech since the rise of the Nazis.
The hard-Right party made the stark claim in an interview with The Telegraph as it faces growing calls to be banned in Germany because of its strident views on mass migration and sympathies for the Kremlin.
Germany's security services are also under scrutiny for their recent decision to classify the AfD as an extremist group, while The Telegraph has learnt that the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), the domestic spy agency, is amassing files on German activists linked to the Trump administration.

Germans 'denouncing' each other through Stasi-style portals
In the case of Dr Zitelmann, the rise of online "portals" in Germany, which allow citizens to report each other for illegal comments, seems to be what alerted police to his social media post.
"We have dozens of these portals now, where you can go and denounce people for something they said," says the historian, who recently branched into fiction with a dystopian novel titled 2075 – When Beauty Became A Crime.
"I hate this sort of thing. It is typical for totalitarian countries and you are seeing it everywhere now."
The portals, he claims, are reminiscent of Germany's dark authoritarian past when citizens would denounce each other to the state for personal gain or out of an obsession with obedience.
He would like to see Section 86a abolished, but not because of its misuse against him. Rather, he fears the ban on displaying extremist symbols has simply pushed Germany's estimated 50,000 neo-Nazisunderground.
"The only way forward is to abolish these kinds of laws. I don't want them to do this in secret: I want to see my enemy," he says, alluding to neo-Nazis as well as anti-Semites on the extreme Left.
"I also hate to see anti-Israel German demonstrators holding 'from the river to the sea' placards," he says. "But I am against banning them for the same reason: I want to know who they are."
Threatened with jail for calling chancellor 'Pinocchio'
Another controversial law in Germany's free-speech debate is Section 188 of the criminal code, which imposes a de facto ban on publicly insulting or defaming elected officials.
In 2021, the government toughened up the law, which has roots in the Weimar period, to lower the threshold for prosecutions in response to a wave of violent threats and harassment against politicians.
It has since evolved into a Frankenstein's monster that has led police forces across the nation to investigate Germans for making fun of their leaders.
In one recent case, a pensioner was investigated under Section 188 for posting "Pinocchio is coming" on Facebook, after he learnt Friedrich Merz, the chancellor, was visiting his hometown.
The tongue-in-cheek post was accompanied by a long-nosed Pinocchio emoji, as the chancellor faced criticism for reneging on key campaign promises in the 2025 election.
The case was dropped after the story caused an outcry in Germany, and police have since clarified that calling the chancellor Pinocchio is not a crime.

In November 2024, police in Bavaria raided the home of another pensioner because he called Robert Habeck, the then vice-chancellor of Germany, a "schwachkopf", or dummy.
The raid was reportedly launched after Mr Habeck personally filed a criminal complaint against the pensioner.
Prosecutors eventually dropped the investigation after deciding that the insult "dummy" was not of "sufficient weight" to merit criminal charges.
While such cases might seem like bizarre outliers, there are plenty of others.
In 2021, police raided a man's apartment in Hamburg after he told a senator "you're such a d—," and this year a resident was fined €2,000 for calling Mr Merz a "lying Fritz".
Official figures show a record 4,792 Section 188 cases were filed in Germany in 2025, with the numbers rising by nearly 85 per cent between 2023 and 2025.
'Biggest free speech crisis since WW2'
Germany has defended the presence of such laws because of its unique responsibility to prevent a return to Nazi fascism.
But one party, which has been hounded for years by accusations of extremism, has seen an opportunity to generate political capital out of the spate of bizarre police investigations.
AfD argues that the rise of a new "thought police" is part of a deeper crisis in Germany's post-war democracy.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Martin Hess, the AfD's interior affairs spokesman, said the police investigations were meant to deter Germans from pointing out how dysfunctional their country had become after decades of centrist leadership.
"In my opinion, this country has lost control over internal security, and this in turn has led to citizens quite rightly expressing their displeasure in strong terms," said Mr Hess, alluding to mass migration over the past decade, a recent string of terror attacks committed by asylum seekers and the country's economic decline.
"When a normal citizen wants to express his anger to a politician, he will say, you're an idiot – that's how he expresses himself, and he should be allowed to do so, that's democracy," he added.
"The country's leaders have noticed the discontent is growing, and are trying to prosecute people for those insults down to the municipal level."
The former police officer said he saw a worrying parallel between the rise in prosecutions in recent years and Germany's darkest era, adding: "Democracy is under massive pressure and freedom of speech is being restricted on a level not seen, in my opinion, since 1945."
Mr Hess backed calls for the "political insult" law to be scrapped, but said it was important that Holocaust denial and incitement to hatred against Jews remain criminal offences because of the country's role in the Second World War.

Merz father was one of the top SS leaders in the Nazi army

Why Germany's most popular party could be banned
Founded in 2013 as a eurosceptic movement, the AfD has surged from a fringe party to what some now see as a government-in-waiting.
As of last February's federal elections, it is the de facto opposition in the German parliament and now leads the polls, far ahead of Mr Merz's ruling Christian Democrats.
To its supporters, the AfD is only the party that speaks for Germans who are sick of mass migration, political correctness, economic stagnation and the creep of so-called wokeism.
But to its opponents, including many in the government, civil service and intelligence services, the party is a far-Right menace that was recently classified as an extremist groupby the country's equivalent of MI5.
The BfV has been monitoring senior AfD figures through methods such as wiretapping and informants for at least five years.
The BfV defends the practice because of its mandate to keep tabs on extremist movements in Germany, but the Trump administration has accused it of being anti-democratic and is considering imposing sanctions on the agency.
The Telegraph has learnt that the BfV's surveillance programme was recently expanded to include grassroots supporters of the AfD who are close to the Trump administration and Elon Musk.
'I made friends with Elon Musk, now Germany spies on me'
Documents seen by The Telegraph show that the BfV has amassed a vast file, numbering in excess of 1,000 documents, on Naomi Seibt, a 25-year-old activist.
Ms Seibt, who first came to prominence as a German "anti-Greta" climate change sceptic, has since forged a close political friendship with Mr Musk via his X platform.
She said the friendship had begun when Mr Musk messaged her after seeing her social media content praising the AfD. He wanted to know why the party was facing constant accusations of extremism.
After Ms Seibt explained the AfD's central values to Mr Musk, he began retweeting her posts to his 240 million followers, exposing her to an audience nearly three times the size of the German population.
Ms Seibt alleges she later received a tip-off that she had been placed under surveillance by the BfV and submitted a request to disclose the data they were gathering on her – and why.
In the BfV's response letter, which The Telegraph has seen, the agency said it held more than 1,000 documents on Ms Seibt and could not provide more precise details on security grounds.
The activist believes the agency monitors her because the Trump administration, which used to employ Mr Musk as an adviser, has grown hostile towards Mr Merz's government.
"Apparently, they were terrified of me becoming something of a bridge between AfD supporters in Germany and the American Maga movement," she said.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/inside-orwellian-world-germany-free-050000945.html
5/6
Ms Seibt has since fled to the US, where she has claimed asylum, citing persecution for her political views in her home country in addition to state surveillance.
"Cases such as Naomi Seibt's reflect very poorly on the state of free speech in Germany," Markus Frohnmaier, the AfD's foreign policy chief and a close ally of both Russia and the Trump administration, told The Telegraph.
Issue across entire political spectrum
Since it was created in 1993, the role of UN Special Rapporteur on Free Expression and Opinion has typically focused on abuses in China, Russia and Iran.
So it was something of a shock when Irene Khan, a British-Bangladeshi lawyer and the role's current holder, realised the time had come to launch an investigation into Germany.
Shortly before her findings were published in June, she told The Telegraph: "My predecessors did not consider Germany as being important enough for a visit, but I did because of the growing number of complaints coming in about the situation."
The complaints were flowing in from both the political Left and Right in Germany, she explained, from senior AfD figures to pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
"It was very clear that there is a lot of restriction of freedom of expression taking place in Germany," she said. "Lots of pro-Palestinian protests have been banned, or individuals arrested. Art exhibitions and lectures have been cancelled."
As for the AfD, the party "had written to me complaining that they were being censored and were under surveillance … so, across the spectrum, Left to Right, everyone was complaining about freedom of expression."
Ms Khan's full report warned that Germany's current laws limiting free speech were "inconsistent with international human rights standards".
The liberal Open Society Foundation, founded by George Soros, the philanthropist, has also issued unusually strong criticism of Germany over its free speech record.
Binaifer Nowrojee, its president, said: "Germany has moved from being one of Europe's strongest defenders of free expression to a country where peaceful protest is criminalised, a chilling effect has led to civil society self-censors, and hate speech law is applied with growing executive discretion."
Trump administration wades in
When JD Vance, the US vice-president, addressed the Munich Security Conference in 2025, most of the delegates were expecting a typical speech on the dual threats of Russia and Iran.
Instead, Mr Vance used the speech to fulminate against curbs on free speech across Europe, with emphasis on Britain and Germany.
Mr Vance continued to claim free speech was "in retreat" as he told his primarily German audience to stop attacking the AfD party and start working with them.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/inside-orwellian-world-germany-free-050000945.html
6/6
German political insiders say it is no secret that the Trump administration would like to see Ms Weidel replace Mr Merz as chancellor – and that is why they have seized on the free speech issue with such gusto.
When approached for comment by The Telegraph, the German government said the political insult law had been toughened up in response to a serious surge in far-Right extremism in the country. It also cited the murder of Walter Lübcke, a politician, by a neo-Nazi in 2019.
However, it acknowledged "valid" concerns among the German public that there had been heavy-handed use of the law to pursue citizens for expressing an opinion.
"I am of course not deaf to societal debates. I can certainly understand that some people are wondering whether this is going too far," said Stefanie Hubig, the German justice minister, though she stopped short of endorsing calls for the law to be scrapped.
"If we don't properly protect local politicians, we'll eventually have no one left willing to serve."
A spokesman for the BfV said it could not comment on individual cases when asked about Ms Seibt.
As for the AfD, the spy agency said it was following its mandate to "collect and analyse information regarding efforts directed against the democratic order".
What is causing it all?
There are a few quirks in German culture that could explain why the country polices the language its citizens use with such gusto.
For Katja Hoyer, a British-German historian, much of it can be traced back to "denazification", the post-war policy of turning Germany's defeated fascists into democrats.
"The idea was to control and subdue Nazi ideology and not to have it on display until people had been re-educated," she said.
Instead, the result was a great deal of restrictions on what Germans can or cannot say.
Another explanation could be the German tendency to take everything rather literally, she added.
"My Dad was an officer recruit in the East German Air Force in 1982," she said. "Once, when they were rehearsing for a big parade, my Dad joked, 'if this doesn't go well, we might as well put the guns to our heads.' He was put in solitary confinement for 10 days, because they took it completely seriously."
In a similar case last year, a German who jokingly compared his local tax office to a gang of highway robbers found himself accused of plotting to overthrow the state.
The German government has signalled that it may reform Section 188, the political insult law, so that it no longer gives special protection to politicians.
As for Dr Zitelmann, he has had some respite: after a tense few weeks, police in Berlin dropped the investigation into him because of "insufficient evidence".
It was a laughable piece of news to receive, he says, even if it came as a great relief.
"When I showed [the social media post] to Chat GPT and asked if I had broken the law, in a few seconds it said no, this has nothing to do with spreading National Socialist propaganda. So it took the police two months to realise what Chat GPT realised in seconds," he says.
Had he ended up in court, he would have fought the charges with all his might, having spent €6,000 on a lawyer – a luxury, he is quick to point out, that few Germans can easily afford.
But the strangest thing of all is that he still has no idea who denounced him, because the person who lodged the criminal complaint did so under a fake name and address.
"It all feels like a mixture to me of Franz Kafka and the GDR," he says. "But I have not lost confidence in the rule of law. In the end, in my case and many others, they were not successful."

Trump Administration Announces Section 338 Tariffs at Rate of 50% Across Wide Range of Canadian Goods and Imports(OMG Carney and Canada decided to start a war! What an idiot!==)
July 20, 2026 | Sundance |
It is very obvious from the construct and details of this announcement that U.S. Trade RepresentativeJamieson Greer has completed a comprehensive review of the retaliatory action by Canada that followed the U.S. Section 232 tariffs on Steel and Aluminum.{FACT SHEET HERE}
Last year two countries retaliated against the U.S. for the 232 (steel and aluminum) tariffs, China and Canada. The USTR office has now quantified the tariff and non-tariff barriers triggered by Canada in 2025 and provided President Trump with a financial quantification of the trade impact.
The three Canadian retaliatory sectors highlighted include: (1) Alcoholic Beverages, (2) Motor Vehicles, (3) Dairy Products. These are the three segments quantified by USTR Greer that form the baseline for the U.S. to retaliate with countervailing duties.
Effective 30 days from now,August 16, 2026, President Trump has established a 50% tariff rate against a wide variety of Canadian imports. Essentially three major Annexes: {LIST 1 – LIST 2 – LIST 3} under the authority of Section 338.
♦Section 338 authorizes the President, if he determines it will serve the public interest, to offset any burden or disadvantage placed on the commerce of the United States by an unequal imposition ordiscrimination by a foreign country by specifying and declaring additional duties not to exceed 50 percent ad valorem(or its equivalent) and not to take effect earlier than 30 days after the President’s proclamation finding that aforeign country imposes an unreasonable charge, exaction, regulation, or limitation that is not equally enforcedon the like articles of every foreign country, or discriminates in fact against U.S. commerce in a way that places the commerce of the United States at a disadvantage compared to the commerce of any foreign country.
Section 338 also authorizes the President to suspend, revoke, supplement, or amendany proclamation under section 338 whenever the President deems that the public interests require such action. Further,section 338 authorizes the President to exclude products of the foreign countryif the foreign country maintains or increases the discrimination against the commerce of the United States and the President deems the exclusion to be consistent with the public interests and the interests of the United States. (more)
Trump-Canada-Tariffs.jpeg
The 50% tariffs apply to food, alcohol, beer, clothing, chemicals, electronics, flowers, fragrance oils, chemical raw materials and importantly wood products.
The wood products are a big hit to the Canadian export sector. This includes paper goods, cardboard, plywood and fabricated pulp wood derivatives like particle board (MDF). This is a huge export sector for Canada that will now trigger a 50% tariff rate.
Essentially, the list is very long and includes almost every assembled component part created by Canadian manufacturing.
FACT SHEET HERE – {LIST 1– LIST 2 – LIST 3}
We can surmisethe baseline is part of the non-negotiable trade calculation done by President Trump and USTR Greer, that will carry forward into any further trade agreement inside or outside the USMCA construct.
Meaning if the trilateral agreement holds (USMCA), these valuation targets will be part of the expectation from the USA side of the discussion toward Canada. However, in the more likely scenario a bilateral trade agreement is preferred, this now quantifies the tariff reciprocity anticipated by the USA, in addition to the elimination of non-tariff barriers.
(They were warned many times but Carney’s friendship with the King of England thought he had an edge over the US.Carney was very wrong!)

An Uncomfortable Change in Perspective
July 20, 2026 | Sundance1/2
I would strongly suggest interested readers orresearchers to go back and look carefully at the very public comments from Senate Intelligence Community Vice-Chairman Mark Warner, as they relate to the seizure of Fulton County, GA, election records. What you might notice forms the background of an uncomfortable change in perspective.
In nearly all of Warner’s remarks,his main argumentcentered on opposing DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s presence at the Fulton County election records warehouse.
He wasn’t worried about the FBI seizing the records; rather, he wasdeeply concerned about Gabbard observing the seizure.
Here’s part of the bigger problem.
When wrongdoing, fraud, corruption, or criminal activity occurs within a federal agency, including the Intelligence Community,the FBI is the institution tasked with investigating it.
That’s the problem.
People ask repeatedly, why has there been no accountability for the obvious corruption?
Perhaps we really don’t want to accept the obvious answer.
The FBI is doing corrupt, criminal and fraudulent stuffbecause the institution of the FBI is comprehensively corrupt. As a consequence, they are allied -directly or through willful blindness- with operatives in other agencies doing criminal, corrupt and fraudulent stuff.
Think about “security clearances.” Which agency or institution determines the outcomes of Security Clearance reviews or investigations?Who is responsible for approving or denying security clearances? The same FBI.
The same FBI agency who took possession of Hillary Clinton’s missing emails, Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner’s laptop and Hunter Biden’s laptop. The same FBI agency who took custody of Jeffrey Epstein’s safe contents. The same FBI agency who raided James O’Keefe to retrieve the Ashley Biden diary. That’s the same FBI agency now with custody of the Fulton County election evidence.
The same agency who investigated the J6 pipe bombing, the Las Vegas mass shooting, the various Trump assassination attempts and even the TWA-800 explosion.That’s the same agency that seemingly cannot stop Antifa terrorist attacks yet can pour over 1,500 agents into a J6 investigation.

The FBI now has the physical ballots and machines from the Fulton County election offices.
Do we think the FBI wants honest elections?… that could result in larger ranks of honest, elected officials?…that could then hold oversight over the FBI?
Do we really think valid and secure elections are in the interests of a corrupt FBI organization?
While leading the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and overseeing the revocation of security clearances from dozens of career intelligence operatives,Tulsi Gabbard was in a unique position to uncover the motives and intentions of the FBI as a governmental institution.
FBI agents and analysts were assigned to desks inside the ODNI.
Do you remember the leaks against Tulsi Gabbard?
Perhaps now we can contextualize why Tulsi Gabbard was in Fulton County, GA.And, more importantly, why the SSCI was going bananas when they found out she was there.
Pic 3
Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner was not apoplectic the FBI was in Fulton County, Georgia, taking control of election machines and ballots.Warner likely already knew what the FBI was doing there. The same motive and intent behind all the mysteriously missing laptops (Clinton, Abedin, Weiner, Awan, Biden) of evidence that seemingly vaporized from the public psyche.
No, SenatorMark Warner was apoplectic because Tulsi Gabbard followed the FBI to Fulton County, to watch them take custody of evidence with the motive to watch their intent.
The FBI was forced into action because Garland Favorito was annoyingly and methodically winning the painstakingly slow legal arguments, and there was a full summer of concern before the next election was scheduled.Someone was going to be looking at those raw election ballots, those physical receipts, records and factual tabulation outcomes. The FBI took over.
Do you remember when Fulton County commission chair,Robb Pitts, said at a press conference he received a phone call –two days before the FBI served a criminal warrantto seize 2020 election documents– to warn that he, Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, former
Raffensperger deputy Gabriel Sterling and others in the state were at risk of imminent arrest by federal agents. {SOURCE} Robb Pitts was tipped off by someone in DC.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard said she went to Fulton County, to watch events as approved by the White House.
There is every reason to believe her statement. Recently, there was areported considerable disparity between what Acting DNI Pulte wanted President Trump to outline in his speechon election manipulation, and what the White House insiders were comfortable with {SOURCE}. The final outcome within the Trump speech was ‘smoothed’ by the Intelligence Community.
If we modify our perspective to consider the DNI was not a participant to law enforcement activity,but rather the DNI was bearing witness to a crime taking place; then suddenly, Senator Mark Warner’s apoplexy makes a lot more sense.

(It’s obvious Tulsi’s life along with her husband was and is in danger, the Deep Deep state, yes there are more levels, would take them out in a second and would still do it if they could. God bless Tulsi and her husband. What a brave and fearless Soldier! God bless and protect them for ever.)
Anti-ICE Leftist Attacks Federal Immigration Court in Manhattan
July 20, 2026 | Sundance |
An anti-ICE violent leftist attacked 26 Federal Plaza earlier this morning, where an immigration court takes place. The attacker carried explosives and was captured on video pouring a flammable liquid in front of the building before setting it ablaze. The suspect was intercepted during the attack and has been detained by police.
The New York City Fire Department reported to WABC that three civilians sustained minor injuries, with two declining medical treatment. The third individual was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. FBI Director Kash Patel released a statement on X confirming details about the incident.
“This morning an individual deployed an incendiary device outside of 26 Federal Plaza in New York. The individual is in custody and two minor injuries reported thus far. FBI JTTF is investigating the incident,”Patel wrote on X.
The suspect is a known anti-ICE activist who used a cart to wheel in fireworks, an accelerant in buckets, and what looked like rifles to attack the federal building. Some alarming video below.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio Delivers Remarks to Press Pool Traveling to ASEAN Summit
July 20, 2026 | Sundance |
Secretary of State Marco Rubio speaks to reporters ahead of his trip to Manila, Philippines. Secretary Rubio is departing from Joint Base Andrews to attend the 59th Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting set to take place this week.
Secretary Rubio spoke about a number of topics and was questioned about the ongoing Iran conflict in the Middle East. This comes as the United States continues to launch attacks on Iran through the weekend. WATCH:
Within the interview there was a question about the FIFA World Cup attendance by President Trump, Prime Minister Carney and President Sheinbaum;essentially about relations. Secretary Rubio interestingly notes that Sheinbaum attended despite having significant challenges in Mexico right now. The tone and intonation of the remark imply something much more significant happening in the background than is currently visible to the general public. Worth watching.
Something serious is happening within Mexico that is straining/complicating our broader geopolitical support for the Sheinbaum administration. Recent events have not made headlines, but what Rubio notes is likely related to a significant shift in cartel activity. {SEE HERE} and {SEE HERE} and {SEE HERE}.

Cartel Watch
@CartelWatchNet
Multiple narco groups confirming the rumors are TRUE, Los Chapitos and CJNG have formed an alliance across Mexico. Cartels that once battled each other are now uniting… and their common target is the United States.
Rubio mentioned this while talking about Sheinbaum attending the last FIFA event!
