SOTT (News) FULL 1062 by newskids Furious Newsom 'won't stand silently by' while Trump fixes CaliforniaOn 8, July 2025As the federal government takes steps to attempt to solve a myriad of problems facing the Golden State, a furious Governor Gavin Newsom told reporters he won't stand silently by while Trump fixes California. While the Trump administration continued to conduct deportation operations throughout California cities, and the Department of Education proposed a plan to prevent males from competing in K-12 girls' sports, Newsom pledged to do everything in his power to prevent Trump from solving any of California's severe issues. "As long as I'm breathing, California will remain on the brink of destruction," an angry Newsom told the media. "I've worked too hard for too long to dismantle this state brick by brick, so I'm not just going to sit here while Donald Trump flushes it all down the toilet by… Read moreMassive boulders ejected during DART mission may complicate future asteroid deflection effortsOn 8, July 2025When NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into the asteroid moon Dimorphos in September 2022, it didn't just change the asteroid's orbit as intended — it unleashed a massive barrage of boulders that carried more than three times the momentum of the spacecraft itself. A University of Maryland-led team of astronomers found that while the mission successfully proved that kinetic impactors like the DART spacecraft can alter an asteroid's path, the resulting ejected boulders created forces in unexpected directions that could complicate future deflection efforts. According to the team's new paper published in the Planetary Science Journal on July 4, 2025, using asteroid deflection for planetary defense is likely far more complex than researchers initially understood. "We succeeded in deflecting an ast… Read moreElon Musk's AI chatbot Grok spews more nonsense than usual after 'upgrade'On 8, July 2025Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok is joining woke idiots like Rosie O'Donnell in blaming President Donald Trump for deaths resulting from the horrific flooding in central Texas during Independence Day weekend. After receiving pushback, the AI chatbot ultimately conceded to X users by changing its claim from "directly" to "likely," and promising to "aim for more nuance." During the early hours of Friday, a flash flood ravaged Kerr County, Texas causing widespread damage and road washouts, as well as the deaths of nearly 70 people. The search for 11 missing girls and others continues. Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, was quick to blame the tragedy on Donald Trump. "Grok is woke and full of shit. What the fuck is happening to X?" popular X influencer Catturd wrote, sharing a screenshot of a post in wh… Read moreDHS terminates temporary protected status for 76K Honduran and Nicaraguan migrantsOn 8, July 2025Federal sources tell Fox News Digital the decision will revoke TPS for roughly 76,000 migrants currently living in the US The Department of Homeland Security is moving to end temporary protected status (TPS) for Honduran and Nicaraguan migrants living in the U.S. today as the Trump administration continues to ramp up deportations across the country. The decision to end TPS for the two nations comes weeks after DHS terminated the same status for Haiti and months after terminating TPS for Venezuelans. A federal judge has since blocked that termination amid an ongoing legal battle.… Read moreJuly snowfall in SloveniaOn 8, July 2025The passage of a cold front caused snowfall in Slovenia today. "With the passage of the cold front, the snowfall limit fell to an altitude of about 2,200 meters above sea level. Snow is falling on Kredarica and Kanin," announced the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO). Kredarica and Kanin are located in the Julian Alps in Slovenia. Kredarica is particularly important for weather monitoring, as it is home to the highest Slovenian meteorological station at 2,514 meters above sea level. In the past, as well as today, the meteorological station at Kredarica is extremely important for monitoring climate changes in the high mountains and upper layers of the atmosphere. It is also important for monitoring the condition of the nearby Triglav Glacier. The highest snow depth of seven meters was meas… Read more12 inches of July snow blankets the European AlpsOn 8, July 2025A rare summer cold front swept across the Alps overnight, blanketing mountains in snow and sending temperatures tumbling well below seasonal norms. The weather event, which began late July 7 and continued into July 8, brought snow to elevations as low as 7,500 feet (2,300 meters). Meteorological data confirmed that snow accumulations ranged from 1 to 2 inches (2 to 5 centimeters) around 8,900 feet (2,700 meters), 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) near 10,500 feet (3,200 meters), and up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) at the highest points of the Mont-Blanc massif. The snowfall was accompanied by a sharp drop in temperatures, with maximum readings of 66°F to 72°F (19 °C to 22°C) in the plains and just 50°F to 55°F (10 °C to 13°C) at 5,000 feet (1,500 meters)—5 to 10 degrees below average f… Read moreNYC Mayor Eric Adams to Andrew Cuomo after being pushed to drop re-election bid: 'You just lost to Mamdani'On 8, July 2025Eric Adams tore into Andrew Cuomo Monday and claimed the ex-governor had the gall to ask the mayor to leave the Big Apple mayoral race — calling it the "highest level of arrogance." Adams revealed on CNBC that the pair of independent candidates recently had a conversation in which Cuomo asked the City Hall leader to bow out of the general election in a bid to help Cuomo beat socialist state lawmaker Zohran Mamdani in November. But Adams said he strongly shot down that suggestion. "I said, 'Andrew, are you that level of arrogance?' I'm the sitting mayor, the sitting mayor of the City of New York," Adams claimed he told Cuomo.… Read moreLightning kills 31 in Cambodia in first half of 2025On 8, July 2025Lightning strikes claimed 31 lives across Cambodia during the first half of 2025, marking a significant 31 percent decrease from the 45 deaths recorded in the same period last year, disaster management officials reported Tuesday. "Among the dead so far this year were 11 females and three children," Soth Kim Kolmony, spokesperson for the National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM), told media. Beyond the fatalities, thunderbolts wounded 53 additional individuals and killed 71 cattle throughout the January-June timeframe this year, he confirmed. Siem Reap, Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, and Preah Sihanouk provinces experienced the highest concentrations of lightning strikes.… Read moreFeds to throw book at armed Antifa group arrested in Texas ICE 'ambush' attackOn 8, July 2025Ten leftists charged in a Friday "ambush" on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Texas could each face sentences ranging from ten years to life in prison if convicted, authorities said Monday. The Department of Justice (DOJ) arrested ten suspects accused of coordinating an armed July 4 attack on the building in Alvarado, Texas and shooting a local police officer in the neck, officials said in a Monday press conference and criminal complaint. The incident was the first of two shootings at Texas border facilities over the past four days, reflecting a trend of increasingly violent assaults on law enforcement since the Trump administration ramped up ICE deportations.… Read moreUPenn swimmer breaks silence over transgender "teammate": 'Around Lia, I wasn't going to risk anything'On 8, July 2025Says new policy to keep men out of women' s locker rooms brings 'deep sense of peace' A former teammate of William "Lia" Thomas praised the University of Pennsylvania for agreeing to keep men out of women's locker rooms following negotiations with the Trump administration. For the first time Monika Burzynska shared her frustrations with her alma mater for letting Lia Thomas, a male, undress and shower alongside female swimmers. Last week, the Trump administration unfroze hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds in exchange for the Ivy League university's agreement to strip Thomas (pictured) of his records he took from female swimmers. The school also agreed to amend its policies to keep locker rooms and bathrooms single sex.… Read moreTrump is gambling his presidency and risks a Third World WarOn 8, July 2025There are several ways to interpret the Trump administration's decision to bomb Iran's nuclear sites at the risk of World War III: did it prevent Israel's defeat, or did it prevent Israel from nuclear-bombing Iran? We don't know for now. However, Alfredo Jalife Rahme provides us with several key insights: Will the debacle of the Israeli Iron Dome and the success of the Iranian Fatah-1 hypersonic missile push Trump to come to the rescue of the all-powerful American military-industrial complex in order to use its powerful panoply of B-2s loaded with nuclear bombs and/or the terrible triple B: bunker buster bombs (the B-2s with which Trump plans to destroy the impregnable Iranian nuclear plant at Fordo [ 1 ] )? These were dramatic hours when Trump 1.0 ideologue Steve Bannon suggested that the… Read moreUS lawmaker calls for ban on 'deadly weather modification'On 8, July 2025Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced a bill that would make the release of "weather-altering chemicals" a felony offense. US House Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who once claimed that the Democrats can "control the weather," has announced a federal bill aimed at banning what she called the "deadly practice" of geoengineering. The move follows devastating rainstorms and flash flooding in Texas that killed at least 50 people, including 15 children, with dozens still missing as of Saturday evening. "I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense. I have been researching weather… Read moreIsrael resumes bombing Yemen ports, power plants after month-long pauseOn 8, July 2025On Sunday Israel's military launched airstrikes on three ports and a power facility against Houthi-controlled Yemen, resulting in the group launching a barrage of missiles in retaliation. Israel is calling the major new initiative 'Operation Black Flag'. The Israeli military (IDF) announced it had targeted the Red Sea ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and as-Salif, as well as the Ras Kathib power station. Additionally, it described striking a radar system aboard the Galaxy Leader, a ship previously seized by the Houthis and currently docked in Hodeidah. This is the first escalation of its kind in nearly a month, and the IDF defended the action as necessary and warranted after intercepting a missile launched from Yemen earlier that day.… Read moreUS food poverty doubles in 4 years - AxiosOn 8, July 2025Cuts to federal aid have impacted millions of Americans, new data shows. Food insecurity among American adults has nearly doubled since 2021, Axios reported on Sunday, citing data from Morning Consult. The striking statistic comes amid steep cuts to federal food assistance programs in the world's largest economy, fueling concerns about the welfare of millions. US President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" signed into law last week includes $230 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) over the next decade. The legislation imposes stricter work requirements, extending mandates to individuals up to age 64 and reducing exemptions for parents. The proportion of US adults reporting that they sometimes or often do not have enough to eat has been steadily rising… Read moreGangs have Haiti's capital nearing collapse - UNOn 8, July 2025Armed groups control 90% of Port-au-Prince and over a million people are displaced, an official has warned. Heavily armed gangs now control most Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, and the city is on the brink of total collapse, a senior UN official has warned. Violence is escalating across the Caribbean nation while the international response remains slow and fragmented, Ghada Fathi Waly, executive director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, told the UN Security Council on Wednesday. According to UN statistics, at least 5,600 people were killed in gang-related incidents in 2024 alone. Haiti has been without a president since the assassination of Jovenel Moise in July 2021, leaving a power vacuum that has allowed armed gangs to expand their influence unchecked. In the absence of a functioni… Read moreLightning strike kills 197 sheep in NepalOn 8, July 2025A lightning strike killed 197 sheep in Guthichaur Rural Municipality-5, Haak Patan of Jumla. The incident happened on Monday around 4 PM when the sheep were grazing in the pasture. According to Jumla District Police Office, teams from the Armed Police Force, Nepal Police, and local residents reached the site and counted the dead sheep. One person, Dhan Bahadur Rawat from Sinja-6, was injured by the lightning and is currently being treated at Karnali Academy of Health Sciences Teaching Hospital in Jumla. DSP Rabin Babu Regmi confirmed that the team has returned after completing the field assessment.… Read moreFisherman killed in shark attack in South AfricaOn 8, July 2025Search and Rescue officials have recovered the body of a fisherman who went missing in an incident involving a shark near Hibberdene on KZN's south coast. The 37-year-old and two other fishermen were along the coastline of Mfazazana near a school of sardines on Friday. It's understood that the man disappeared underwater after a shark surfaced where he was fishing. Craig Lambinon, from the National Sea Rescue Institute, says his friend attempted to intervene but was confronted by at least two other sharks and retreated to the shoreline. Lambinon says the sharks were feeding on the school of sardines at the time.… Read more'The Land of Performance': Trump wanted a Perfect War, a Headline ShowstopperOn 8, July 2025"Depending on who you ask, the US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan was either a smashing success that severely crippled Tehran's nuclear programme, or a flashy show whose results were less than advertised ... In the grand scheme of things, all of this is just drama". The big issue - second only to 'what next in Iran' and how they might respond — says Michael Wolff (who has written four books on Trump), is "how the MAGA is going to respond": "And I think he [Trump] is genuinely worried, [Wolff emphasises]. And I think he should be worried. There are two fundamental things to this coalition - Immigration and War. Everything else is fungible and can be compromised. It's not sure those two elements can be compromised". The signal from Hegseth ('we are not at w… Read moreNew understanding of how red blood cells are created could make artificial blood easier to makeOn 8, July 2025Studies undertaken by researchers at Queen Mary and University of Konstanz have identified a critical chemical signal in the development of red blood cells. The discovery will help make the manufacture of artificial blood more efficient. A breakthrough in the understanding of how mammals create red blood cells by Dr Julia Gutjahr, who began her research into the mechanisms of blood production in the lab of Professor Antal Rot in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, could lead to opportunities for articifical blood to be created at scale for the first time. Dr Gutjahr is now a biologist at the Institute of Cellular Biology and Immunology Thurgau at the University of Konstanz in Germany. She identified the molecular signal, chemokine CXCL12, that triggers the expulsion of the nucleus by th… Read moreBEST OF THE WEB: At least 104 dead in Kerr County, Texas as flash flooding hits - 10 inches of rain in just a few hours - Guadalupe River rises 26 FEET in just 45 minutes (UPDATED)On 8, July 2025Multiple deaths have been reported in Texas after heavy rain caused flash flooding, while search teams used boats to conduct rescues Friday as fast-moving water threatened riverfront communities near wildlife habitats and campgrounds. As much as 10 inches (25 centimeters) of heavy rain fell in just a few hours overnight in central Kerr County, causing flash flooding of the Guadalupe River. Judge Rob Kelly, the chief elected official in the county, confirmed fatalities from the flooding and dozens of water rescues so far. He said he was advised not to cite specific numbers and said authorities are still working to identify those whose lives were lost. "Most of them, we don't know who they are," Kelly said during a news conference. "One of them was completely naked, he didn't have any ID on… Read moreFlood at Nepal-China border: Miteri Bridge collapses, 7 dead with 18 missing, cargo containers and vehicles swept awayOn 8, July 2025A sudden flood struck the Bhote Koshi River at the Nepal-China border around 3 AM on Tuesday, leaving 18 people missing—12 Nepali and 6 Chinese nationals. Among the missing Nepalis are three police officers and nine civilians. The incident occurred at the Rasuwagadhi border point in Nepal's Rasuwa district, severely impacting cross-border trade and infrastructure. The main Miteri Bridge, a critical trade route connecting Nepal and China, collapsed in the flood. The customs office yard in Rasuwa also sustained heavy damage, with several parked cargo containers washed away. Though some trapped individuals have been rescued, floodwaters are hampering ongoing relief operations. Nepal's Armed Police Force confirmed that eight electric vehicles were swept away from an EV charging station in Timu… Read moreIntense hail paralyzes Guanajuato, Mexico and leaves streets covered in iceOn 8, July 2025A sudden hailstorm hit the municipality of Moroleón this Sunday, leaving streets flooded and covered in white, causing chaos, damage, and the urgent mobilization of emergency personnel. The phenomenon, accompanied by strong gusts of wind and lightning, surprised residents and drivers in various areas of the municipal capital. Civil Protection reported flooding of up to 25 centimeters on roads such as Alma Barragán, 12 de Octubre, Aquiles Serdán, Hidalgo, Zaragoza, and several others, where vehicular traffic had to be closed to prevent accidents. One home suffered material damage due to the ingress of water, although no injuries or serious structural damage were reported. Authorities urged the public to take extreme precautions and stay informed about possible further rains.

Why it matters: The disclosure Thursday — nestled in a batch of 40 documents concerning officer George Joannides — indicates the CIA lied for decades about his role in the Kennedy case before and after the assassination, according to experts on JFK's slaying. The linchpin document: A Jan. 17, 1963, CIA memo showing Joannides was directed to have an alias and fake driver's license bearing the name "Howard Gebler." Until Thursday, the agency had denied that Joannides was known as "Howard," the case officer name for the CIA contact who worked w… Read moreSOTT FOCUS: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - June 2025: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor FireballsOn 8, July 2025June 2025 opened with a moderate geomagnetic storm (G2-class) on June 2, triggering auroras visible in half the U.S. and parts of Canada. While solar activity was quieter than in May, the cumulative stress on Earth's magnetosphere from solar winds, cosmic rays, and atmospheric ionization is amplifying terrestrial upheaval. We had it all this month: Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, deadly floods, unprecedented hailstorms, sinkholes, freak summer snowstorms, and scorching temperatures. Again, we cannot discard the possibility that the erratic activity could be caused by the electric interaction between our Star and its twin.… Read moreGOP intel chair Rep. Rick Crawford: Ratcliffe CIA review on Russia and 2016 is a 'whitewash' & 'protects deep state'On 7, July 2025The Republican chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) has sent a letter directly to President Donald Trump telling him that CIA Director John Ratcliffe's recent memo - which offered some critiques of the U.S. intelligence community's assessment of Russian meddling in the 2016 election - was a "whitewash" that "protects the deep state," Just the News learned Thursday. Ratcliffe on Wednesday morning released a "lessons learned" review of the December 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian influence in the November 2016 election, including critiquing the "high confidence" assessment by the FBI and the CIA that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had "aspired" to help Trump win the race against Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of Sta… Read moreEU preparing to hoard critical supplies over security fears - FTOn 7, July 2025The bloc's new stockpile strategy reportedly aims to prepare for war, climate disasters, and growing hybrid and cyber threats. The EU plans to build an emergency stockpile of key supplies in light of mounting threats, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing a draft strategy prepared by the European Commission and due to be officially published next week. The document reportedly says a new mechanism is needed to improve EU member states' readiness for global risks. "The EU faces an increasingly complex and deteriorating risk landscape marked by rising geopolitical tensions, including conflict, the mounting impacts of climate change, environmental degradation, and hybrid and cyber threats." It proposes coordinated backup stockpiles of critical goods including food, medicines, nuclear… Read moreNATO member rules out sending troops to UkraineOn 7, July 2025Romania will "under no circumstances" join the conflict militarily. Bucharest will not deploy troops to Ukraine under any circumstances, Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan has said, although he indicated that the "eastern flank" country will continue to gradually boost its military budget to meet NATO demands and align with the broader EU militarization agenda. A group of European NATO member states has for months been exploring the formation of a potential force for deployment to Ukraine, as part of a so-called "coalition of the willing," ostensibly in a post-conflict peacekeeping capacity. Russia has repeatedly warned it would treat any foreign forces fighting alongside Ukrainian troops as legitimate targets, saying such actions could escalate the conflict. Speaking during a live interview with… Read moreReturn to First Principles to end wars in the Middle EastOn 7, July 2025The world is being driven to war — possibly nuclear war — by current leaders who want their citizens to believe that there are no other options. This is patently not true. Let us explore first principles to understand that there always are other alternatives. There is No Such Thing as Fate Events are driven by human action alone. At any time, a man can choose to take a different direction. The same is true of nations, because nations are driven by the actions of men, and men can choose to take a different course at any time. Do not believe those who say otherwise. Even at this late date in the course of the Middle Eastern war, men can choose simply to stop and take a different course. There Is Such a Thing as Law, Both National and International At the present time, America's president mis… Read moreCIA review states Obama's Trump-Russia collusion report was corrupt from startOn 7, July 2025A bombshell new CIA review of the Obama administration's spy agencies' assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to help Donald Trump was deliberately corrupted by then-CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who were "excessively involved" in its drafting, and rushed its completion in a "chaotic," "atypical" and "markedly unconventional" process that raised questions of a "potential political motive." Further, Brennan's decision to include the discredited Steele dossier, over the objections of the CIA's most senior Russia experts, "undermined the credibility" of the assessment. The "Tradecraft Review of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment [ICA] on Russian Election Interference" was conducted… Read moreIran moved enriched uranium before US strikes - HershOn 7, July 2025More than 200kg of uranium enriched to 60% are "missing," according to the journalist. Last month's US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities failed to hit the country's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh has claimed, citing US officials. The attack, which involved seven US B-2 'Spirit' bombers carrying 30,000-pound bunker busters, was not even expected to "obliterate" the Iranian nuclear program, one of the journalist's sources admitted. "The centrifuges may have survived and 400 pounds of 60% enriched uranium are missing," one of the officials said, adding that the US bombs "could not be assured to penetrate the centrifuge chamber . . . too deep." The lack of radioactivity at the targeted Iranian nuclear sites - specifically Fordow and Isf… Read moreFirst-ever evidence of star 'double detonation' captured in stunning imageOn 7, July 2025An explosion captured in a new image could help astronomers to better understand the "standard candles" at the center of a major cosmological mystery. For the first time, astronomers have captured stunning visual evidence of a star double-detonating itself to death. The twin eruption was discovered by scientists studying two concentric rings of calcium that surround SNR 0509-67.5, a remnant of a star that met its explosive demise in a type Ia supernova centuries ago. And the discovery isn't just a pretty picture. The researchers who made it say that much of our knowledge of how the universe expands — a major controversy in cosmology — depends on reliably measuring this type of supernova, which is also the primary source of iron throughout the cosmos. The scientists published their findings… Read moreBEST OF THE WEB FLASHBACK: 'Terror on the Tube: Behind the veil of 7/7'On 7, July 2025To some it may seem that the author has taken slight leave of his senses; that in obsessive pursuance of now obscure events of mere historical relevance he evidences a strange and incurable critical distemper. Certainly, judging by the mass amnesia - even amongst so-called 'progressives' - for these events, such a diagnosis appears well-nigh unassailable. But for those who (to quote 'V') 'see what I see' then the entire slew of major terrorist attacks starting with 9/11 and continuing on through with those in Bali in 2002, Istanbul in 2003, Madrid in 2004, London in 2005 and Mumbai in 2006...and beyond, can be, indeed must be, viewed in the light of 'false flag' terrorism. By which we mean, of course, state terrorism in the service of supporting both US / NATO imperialism abroad, and oliga… Read moreNew footage exposes trigger-happy US mercenaries firing toward Gaza aid seekersOn 7, July 2025Following an AP investigation accusing a US mercenary firm of firing on desperate Gaza aid seekers, the company has released extensive new footage in an attempt at damage control. But the video only further implicates the scandal-plagued operation. On July 2, the Associated Press released an exposé containing short videos which appeared to show American mercenaries associated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) opening fire on aid-seekers in Gaza during an incident in southern Gaza this May. The footage was supplied by a former employee of UG Solutions, a firm charged with securing GHF distribution sites.

They may have been rendering fat from crushed animal bones in the Neumark-Nord region in central Germany, according to archaeological research, published in Science Advances. While many bones that contained less marrow were spread out across the archaeological site, researchers observed that many of the marrow-rich bones were located in clusters - sites they call "fat factories".… Read moreBuh-bye to another Democrat FBI operativeOn 7, July 2025Michael Feinberg, friend of Peter Strzok, quit the bureau before being forced to spill the beans on the nature of his work and friendship with the disgraced Comey lackey In yet another example of what the new leadership at the Federal Bureau of Investigation is up against, Michael Feinberg, a self-proclaimed intelligence expert at the bureau, resigned in May. Feinberg — as is the fashion for FBI employees forced out after being exposed as political hacks rather than the diligent crime fighters they purport to be — penned a sanctimonious screed explaining why big bad Kash and Dan are responsible for his decision to quit as an intelligence analyst at the Norfolk field office. Writing for Lawfare, the Brookings Institution's appropriately named repository for Trump foes, Feinberg claimed he w… Read more3 dead, 2 missing after landslide in southwestern ChinaOn 7, July 2025At least three people were killed and two others were missing as their vehicles were buried after a mountain landslide in Ya'an, Sichuan province in southwestern China, state media reported Monday.

Well, what would you expect after years, even decades, of anti-reality operations by everyone from the CIA to The New York Times to Harvard U? Is it any wonder that reality-optionality is making the people both apathetic and insane? We are told now by the FBI that there is no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein ran a blackmail operation against the politicos of Western Civ, or that a "client list" existed, or that JE was murdered in his jail cell. It well might be true that there is no evidence, strictly speaking. Messrs.

The phenomenon occurred around 16:30 UTC and was captured on photo and video, quickly spreading across social media. The event has been confirmed by reliable observers, including Bas van der Ploeg, a voluntary meteorological observer, and is categorized as a waterspout due to its formation over a large body of water. Eyewitness Christiaan de Vries documented the tornado from the shoreline, and his photos clearly show the column of rotating air reaching from the clouds to the lake surface. The tornado was likely non-supercellular in nature, which is typical for waterspouts in this region, especially during humid and unstable summer afternoons. Though no damage w… Read moreSOTT FOCUS: NewsReal: Iran War Aint Over: Trump 'Pause' Delays Goal of Thwarting Eurasian IntegrationOn 7, July 2025Everybody knows it's a 'war for Israel', but is it so simple as the mighty US being so thoroughly blackmailed and bribed into another costly, bloody war? This week on NewsReal, we lay out the 'positive motivation' for the US: its strategic goal of thwarting Eurasian transport and trade integration between Chinese economic power, Russian military power and Iranian energy power. And yes, Israel expects to dominate the Middle East as a result, so ITS 'positive motivation' is to ensure the US remains fully committed. The transatlantic deep state consortium that dominates the US government certainly is, but whether Trump completely betrays the core promises that got him re-elected remains to be seen...

High energy prices, climate hysteria, dwindling freedoms, rigid regulations, high crime rates and social decay are eroding the globalist-green utopia. Hat-tip: Blackout News Increasingly, European nations are implementing so-called exit taxes to curb the outflow of wealthy citizens to tax havens and to secure their domestic tax bases. Countries like Germany, Norway, and Belgium are spearheading new regulations designed to tax capital gains before individuals emigrate. This reminds of when Communist East Germany built a wall to keep its citizens from moving out t… Read moreEarly stratospheric warming waves emerging around Antarctic polar vortexOn 7, July 2025The Antarctic stratosphere is showing initial signs of disruption, as early warming waves form around a persistently cold polar vortex core. Further intensification and broadening of the anomalies are forecast for July 2025. The latest NASA stratospheric analysis at the 10 hPa (31 km / 18.5 miles) level indicates the vortex core in the Southern Hemisphere remains colder than normal, with temperatures in the heart of the polar stratosphere well below the seasonal average. Despite the persistent cold in the core, satellite observations and model data reveal the early development of warming waves in the outer layers of the polar vortex. These waves are associated with high-pressure anomalies, particularly over the eastern portion of the vortex, as seen in current and forecast pressure analyse… Read moreAnother war, another trip, another ask: Netanyahu returns to WashingtonOn 6, July 2025With Gaza still burning and corruption charges mounting, Israel's prime minister arrives in D.C. looking for favors, not peace. Fresh off a bruising 12-day war with Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is flying back to Washington. This will be his third visit to the US since Donald Trump returned to the White House - but arguably the most consequential. For Netanyahu, it's more than a diplomatic courtesy call: it's a chance to cash in on battlefield momentum, convert military theatrics into political capital, and solidify his standing with Israel's most crucial ally. According to Israeli media, Netanyahu's agenda goes beyond flag-waving and photo ops. He's expected to push forward on defense cooperation, intelligence sharing, and a new trade deal. But above all, he wants to tra… Read moreCan Trump's Gazprombank gesture really change US-Russia relations?On 6, July 2025The decision to ease some sanctions is a short-term transaction, not a sign of broader normalization. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has announced that US President Donald Trump has lifted financial sanctions on Russia that had blocked Rosatom from continuing construction of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant 2 in Hungary. Although the Biden administration's sanctions late last year were formally directed at Moscow, Budapest arguably suffered the most, since the two new reactor units at Paks were viewed as vital for Hungary's long-term energy independence. (The first four units were built during the Soviet period.) A year ago, Hungary managed to have the Paks-2 project removed from the European Union's sanctions list, but at significant political cost. Nevertheless, the Democratic ad… Read moreIsrael covered up Iranian hits on military sites - TelegraphOn 6, July 2025Successful missile attacks on air bases, a logistics hub, and an intelligence center were censored, the outlet claims. Israel concealed that Iranian missiles hit several key military sites across the country during the recent 12-day war, The Telegraph reported on Saturday, citing radar data. The data, provided to the British paper by Oregon State University researchers who track bomb damage using satellite radar, indicates that six Iranian missiles hit five military facilities in the north, south, and center of Israel, including a major air base, an intelligence gathering center, and a logistics base. The extent of the reported damage is unclear. However, the hits were not publicly reported due to heavy military censorship, according to the report. When pressed on the issue, the Israel Def… Read moreUS plans massive Arctic investmentOn 6, July 2025Trump's budget bill allocates billions for ice-capable vessels as Washington plays catch-up with Moscow in the region. The US plans to invest billions in expanding its icebreaker fleet for which funding was included in President Donald Trump's budget bill approved by Congress on Thursday. Trump previously admitted that the US lags behind Russia, which has the world's largest and most advanced fleet of ice-capable vessels. Washington has of late sought to increase its influence in the Arctic. Vice President J.D. Vance stated in March that the government needs to "ensure that America is leading" in the region due to the presence of Russia and China. Trump's so-called 'One Big Beautiful Bill' includes funding through 2029 for ice-capable vessels. The US Coast Guard will receive nearly $25 bil… Read moreVast molecular cloud discovered near our solar systemOn 6, July 2025An international team of scientists, including from McDonald Observatory at The University of Texas at Austin, has discovered a potentially star-forming cloud that is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the Sun and Earth ever to be detected. The cloud of gas is located about 300 light years away. Scientists estimate that it would look vast to stargazers on Earth - if it were visible - measuring about 40 moons across the sky. Its mass is estimated as roughly 3,400 times that of the Sun. The gigantic ball of hydrogen was recently revealed by looking for its main ingredient: molecular hydrogen. The finding marks the first time a molecular cloud has been detected with light from the hydrogen molecule emitted in the far-ultraviolet realm of the electromagnet… Read more
