Supreme Court Asked to Review California’s Retaliation against Judicial Watch Over YouTube Election Integrity Video

Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court concerning a Judicial Watch lawsuit asserting that the California Secretary of State retaliated against Judicial Watch because of an accurate election integrity video posted to YouTube just before the 2020 Election (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. Shirley Weber, in her official capacity as Secretary of State of the State of California (No. 2:22-cv-06894)). The California Secretary of State used its well-established working relationship with Big Tech to have YouTube remove and censor Judicial Watch’s video.

Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit in September 2022.

On September 22, 2020, Judicial Watch posted on its YouTube channel a video titled “**ELECTION INTEGRITY CRISIS Dirty Voter Rolls, Ballot Harvesting & Mail-in-Voting Risks!” The 26-minute video featured Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton discussing the vote-by-mail processes, changes to states’ election procedures, ballot collection (sometimes referred to as “ballot harvesting”), and states’ failures to clean up their voter rolls, among other topics.

Fitton’s comments were informed by successful lawsuits brought by Judicial Watch against Los Angeles County and Weber in 2017 to compel the county and State to comply with the National Voter Registration Act’s (NVRA) voter list maintenance requirements. For instance, in June 2019, Judicial Watch was informed that Los Angeles County had sent notices to 1.6 million inactive voters on its voter rolls after a settlement agreement had been reached.

Judicial Watch uncovered that the California Secretary of State monitored Judicial Watch’s videos for months leading up to the 2020 election with the help of a public relations firm closely connected to the Biden presidential campaign.

Contrary to 11 other appellate circuit courts in the country, the Ninth Circuit has made it more difficult for citizens and groups trying to hold government agencies responsible for retaliating against those citizens or groups for First Amendment-protected speech:

Until this case, every regional circuit had held that an adverse action in the First Amendment retaliation context is one that would chill a person of ordinary firmness from continuing to engage in protected activity. The Ninth Circuit strayed from its sister circuits, excising the “chilling effect” inquiry from the universally accepted standard. It ruled that the Secretary’s course of action was not adverse, and therefore not actionable, without defining “adverse action” or analyzing whether her course of action would chill a person of ordinary firmness.

Gold & Silver's Greatest Bull Market Has Begun.

Submitted by GoldFix with an Intro

Jordan Roy-Byrne of the Daily Gold just published a structured case for why gold and silver are set for a sustained bull market. His argument is built on historical cycles, macroeconomic shifts, and technical analysis. He then connects these trends to declining real yields, currency devaluation, and a changing global monetary system. That book is titled: Gold & Silver: The Greatest Bull Market Has Begun.

The book positions gold as a beneficiary of structural shifts in debt markets and central bank policies. He argues that a secular bond bear market will force capital into alternative stores of value, with gold at the top of the list. He also explores the geopolitical angle—dedollarization and foreign central bank gold accumulation—as a key force underpinning the metals' rise.GoldFix was asked to contribute a Chapter on De-Dollarization and happily did so gratis. GoldFix also wrote a post covering the book as well

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Infowars reporter Jamie White 'brutally murdered' outside home in Austin as Alex Jones blames Soros-backed DA

A reporter for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' InfoWars was brutally murdered outside his south Austin apartment late on Sunday night.

Jamie White was found badly wounded outside his home on Douglas Street around midnight in a slaying that Jones blamed on Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza.

Officers from Austin Police Department responded to 911 calls reporting a man with 'obvious signs of trauma.'

White was rushed to a nearby hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Police have called the incident a homicide but have not identified any suspects. The slaying had been investigated as a shooting/stabbing but authorities have not released additional information.

In a fiery and emotional video on Monday afternoon, Jones did not hold back in assigning blame, squarely targeting the district attorney.

'I lay all of this squarely at the feet of Soros and of the sort of crime syndicate of the Democratic Party. They are the ones that administratively cut the police, prosecuted the police, and even cases that are hundred percent clear to be lawful, legal activities,' Jones ranted.

'You murdered Jamie White, you opened the door, you created the climate, you created conditions on purpose. George Soros. Alexander Soros, you murdered Jamie White.'

'These are sick, degenerate, evil people that know what they're doing and they aided and abetted. They are accomplices to the murder of a great American and Infowars long time veteran reporter Jamie White.'

Garza is known for his progressive policies and his campaign was backed by billionaire financier George Soros' Open Society Foundations.

Jones claimed that White's death was the inevitable result of what he called 'vicious policies' by Soros-backed DAs like Garza, whom he accused of intentionally undermining law enforcement and letting violent criminals roam free.

Jones also cited unnamed Austin police officers and detectives as sources, claiming that many in law enforcement are frustrated and demoralized by what they see as Garza's refusal to prosecute dangerous offenders.

The Austin Police Department has so far not publicly commented on any political links.

Austin has struggled recently with rising violent crime, a trend critics say has worsened under Garza's tenure as DA since 2021 after he won the position with the backing of national progressive groups advocating for criminal justice reform.

Soros’ donation came a year after his non-profit funneled $652,000 to the Texas Justice and Public Safety PAC group that backed the election of Jose Garza, who assumed office as Travis County DA, based in Austin.

Soros’ Open Society Policy Center also donated $500,000 to Equity PAC, a Texas-based group that funds progressive causes and was working to oppose a ballot proposition that would have seen the capital city of Austin hire hundreds of new police officers amid a spike in violent crime.

But the proposition was overwhelmingly defeated in 2020 thanks to Soros’ cash injection which funded ad campaigns throughout Austin. Garza then won his re-election in 2024 keeping him in the role for a further four years.

'When you see Soros seizing control of over 800 jurisdictions protecting serious narcotics gangs and human trafficking gangs and you when you see different feds and ICE calling and warning some of those violent gangs in the world that there's ICE raids coming,' Jones began in a 15 minute ramble.

'There are so many communist traitors in the government that they're having to polygraph now to find out who's doing it. This is a crisis and again, defunding the police. All of this is meant to destabilize the collapse society,' Jones ranted.

Jones suggested the murder may have been a targeted attack, raising questions about whether White's work as an InfoWars reporter might have made him a marked man.

'There are a lot of really cool people that have worked at Infowars over the years, and one of the most amazing people was Jamie White. You know him as a great reporter and researcher,' Jones said in Monday's video message.

'He was up here last night working late during the Sunday show and after it Jaime was murdered last night outside of his home just a few miles away from our studios.

'He's always here early, loves to work, loves to fight tyranny, love, promote freedom. And when they got to the apartment complex, there was yellow tape everywhere and blood all over the parking lot. And we went and talked to the manager. They didn't know anything,' Jones explained.

InfoWars, founded by Jones, has been embroiled in controversy for years over its inflammatory far-right content and conspiracy theories.

InfoWars vowed to honor Jamie White's memory by continuing his work, promising that his 'tragic death will not be in vain.'

'This was a great American. A man of conviction. And they killed him,' Jones said, visibly shaken. 'But we will never stop fighting for justice. For Jamie. For everyone who's been a victim of this engineered crime wave.'

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨

Actually, @reidhoffman, you are lying.

I did some investigating myself and have the receipts to prove you are lying to @elonmusk.

Upon my investigation, I discovered that Reid Hoffman, the founder of @LinkedIn and a Jeffrey Epstein associate who visited Epstein Island numerous times, is a donor to the Hopewell Fund. IRS records from 2023 prove the Hopewell Fund has provided funding to the Sixteen Thirty Fund.

See the screenshot from Sixteen Thirty Fund’s 2023 990 form below. 👇🏻

Additionally, FEC records reveal that the Sixteen Thirty Fund has contributed to Sunrise PAC, which is linked to the Sunrise Movement @sunrisemvmt, the same organization, as I exposed yesterday, that is behind the violent protests at Tesla dealerships all across the nation.

See the “Tesla Takedown” protest invitation from Sunrise Movement NYC below for their violent 3/8/25 protest at the Tesla Showroom in the Meatpacking District below. 👇🏻

So yes, you DID fund the anti-Tesla and anti-Musk protests at Elon’s Tesla show rooms.

Because our Tariffs are reciprocal, we’ll just get it all back on April 2. Canada is a Tariff abuser, and always has been, but the United States is not going to be subsidizing Canada any longer.

Musk Reveals Soros-Backed ActBlue Behind Violent Protests at Tesla Stores

by Jamie White

"ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations," Musk points out

Tesla charging stations set ablaze with Molotov cocktails, dealership hit with gunfire.

Elon Musk revealed that big-time Democrat donors are behind the protests at Tesla dealerships across the US.

In an X post Saturday, Musk claimed five groups are behind the protests — many of which have resorted to violence — and all the groups are funded by the Democrat Party’s Soros-backed ActBlue organization.

“An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla ‘protests’: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America,” Musk wrote.

“ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix.”

“ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel,” the Tesla CEO added.

In other words, contrary to legacy media reporting that the left’s protests against Tesla are an organic “grassroots” effort, the reality is the protests are actually astroturfed by far-left big wigs.

GROK Summary

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights' report (A/HRC/44/22), dated June 29, 2020, provides a comprehensive overview of the human rights situation in the Philippines, focusing on systemic violations linked to national security, counter-terrorism, and the anti-illegal drugs campaign. Below is a summary of the key points:

Introduction and Context

Purpose: Submitted pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 41/2, the report examines ongoing human rights issues in the Philippines since 2015, with historical context from earlier periods.

Methodology: Based on 893 submissions, government input, official documents, and interviews, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) analyzed trends without a country visit due to lack of government permission.

Historical Background: The Philippines, independent since 1946, experienced severe human rights abuses under Ferdinand Marcos’ martial law (1972–1986). The 1987 Constitution established protections, but implementation remains weak amid ongoing armed conflicts with the New People’s Army (NPA) and Moro groups.

Key Human Rights Issues

Anti-Illegal Drugs Campaign

Scale of Killings: Since July 2016, under President Rodrigo Duterte, the campaign has led to widespread killings, with government data citing 5,601 deaths by January 2020, though estimates suggest up to 27,000. OHCHR deems these "widespread and systematic."

Policy and Practices: The Philippine National Police’s “Project Tokhang” (house-to-house visits) lacks due process, relying on “drug watch lists” without legal recourse. Police reports show staged evidence (e.g., reused guns) and formulaic self-defense claims.

Impunity: Only one conviction (Kian delos Santos’ case) is cited despite thousands of deaths. Investigations are hampered by police reluctance, fear of reprisals, and a “presumption of regularity” defense rejected by the Supreme Court.

Detention and Health: Over 223,000 arrests by December 2019, often arbitrary, strain a congested prison system (534% capacity). Mandatory drug rehabilitation and lack of harm reduction violate the right to health.

National Security and Civic Space

Legislative Framework: Laws like the Human Security Act and the proposed Anti-Terrorism Act weaken safeguards, expanding detention periods and vague terrorism definitions. Emergency measures, like a 2016 nationwide state of emergency, persist unduly.

Red-Tagging: Labeling critics as communists/terrorists (“red-tagging”) has led to 208 verified killings of human rights defenders, journalists, and unionists (2015–2019), with impunity prevailing.

Attacks on Civic Actors: Lawyers (40+ killed since 2015), journalists (e.g., Rappler, ABS-CBN targeted), and politicians (e.g., Senator Leila de Lima detained) face violence and legal harassment. Social media amplifies threats.

Indigenous Peoples, Farmers, and Displacement

Land Rights: The Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act is undermined by business interests manipulating consent. Militarization (e.g., Memorandum Order No. 32) exacerbates violations against Lumad and farmers.

Displacement: 359,941 people remain displaced in Mindanao (March 2020), with slow Marawi rebuilding fueling radicalization risks.

NPA Abuses: Reports of NPA killings and child recruitment persist, though unverified by OHCHR due to access issues.

Incitement to Violence

High-Level Rhetoric: Duterte and officials have used inflammatory language (e.g., shoot-to-kill orders, rape “jokes”), potentially inciting violations and violating international law.

Conclusions

Systemic Issues: Despite legal safeguards, an overemphasis on security has normalized violations, deepened impunity, and eroded civic trust. The COVID-19 response mirrors this heavy-handed approach.

Accountability Gap: Domestic mechanisms fail, prompting calls for international investigation, including by the International Criminal Court (preliminary examination ongoing).

Recommendations

To the Government: Halt extrajudicial killings, repeal harmful policies (e.g., Circular No. 16-2016), disband paramilitaries, ensure accountability, protect civic space, and fully implement indigenous rights.

To the International Community: Support OHCHR technical assistance, monitor progress, consider international accountability if domestic efforts falter, and enforce business human rights standards.

The High Commissioner offers continued engagement to address these violations and support accountability efforts

Donald J. Trump

To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is “putting it on the line” in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s “baby,” in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for. They tried to do it to me at the 2024 Presidential Ballot Box, but how did that work out? In any event, I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American. Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???

Alex Marlow Explains the Real Scandal Behind Sen. Chris Murphy’s Affair

On Monday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” >>>/qresearch/22739426 host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow discussed Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) reportedly going on a date with Courier Newsroom publisher Tara McGowan.

Marlow said that Courier Newsroom is the “worst project” of Laurene Powell Jobs and “is exploiting the fact that local journalism has largely gone away because it’s not affordable to do local journalism, to create this hyper, hyper, hyper-partisan propaganda network” that “creates this sort of facsimile of news content, but it’s not news content. It’s propaganda…that [is] filtered into your social media feeds, particularly on Facebook, to emulate and resemble news.” ...

DOGE team is only 100 people across all agencies: Elon claims $4 billion in savings per day

-DOGE chief Elon Musk said that he is running his businesses “with great difficulty,” as shares of his automotive firm Tesla suffered their worst drop in a half-decade.

-Musk also said during an interview on Fox Business that he expected to remain in the Trump administration for another year.

-Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is engaged in a broad effort to reduce federal government spending and employee headcount.

-Musk called Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona a “traitor” after Kelly tweeted on X about a visit to Ukraine.

DOGE chief Elon Musk said Monday that he is running his businesses “with great difficulty,” as shares of his automotive firm Tesla

suffered their worst drop in a half-decade, and as his social media company X experienced several outages.

Musk also said during an interview on Fox Business that he expected to remain in the Trump administration for another year.

Tesla’s stock has fallen every week since Musk joined the Trump administration as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, which is engaged in a broad, controversial effort to reduce federal government spending and employee headcount.

The electric vehicle company has lost more than 50% of its market capitalization, equal to nearly $800 billion.

“It will be fine long-term,” Musk wrote in a tweet replying to a post on X that noted Tesla’s biggest single-day stop drops in history.

On Monday, Musk said there are currently more than 100 people on DOGE’s team, positioned in nearly every government agency.

He said that the number might increase to 200.

“Unless we’re stopped, we will get to $1 trillion of savings,” Musk predicted.

Musk’s estimates of savings have been challenged, and DOGE has deleted some of the largest purported savings that it listed on its website.

Since DOGE began its efforts, federal government employment fell by 10,000 jobs in February, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In addition to Tesla and X, Musk’s other businesses include the space exploration company SpaceX and the neurotechnology company Neuralink.

In Monday’s interview, Fox Business host Larry Kudlow said that as head of DOGE, “You’re giving up your other stuff.”

“How are you running your other businesses?” Kudlow asked.

Musk replied, “With great difficulty,” and chuckled.

“Yeah, I mean,” Musk sighed.

“I’m just here trying to make government more efficient, eliminate waste and fraud, and so far we’re making good progress, actually,” he said. “Our savings at this point exceed $4 billion a day. So it’s very significant.”

Tesla shares close regular trading down more than 15.4% on Monday.

Musk blamed the outages that X experienced Monday on “a massive cyberattack” from internet protocol addresses originating in the Ukraine area.”

He did not provide any evidence for that claim.

Musk earlier Monday in a tweet directed at Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly wrote, “You are a traitor,” after the senator posted about a visit he made to Ukraine over the weekend.

“Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin,” Kelly had written, referring to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who ordered his nation’s invasion of Ukraine three years ago.

Kelly, who is a former U.S. Navy pilot and NASA astronaut, fired back at Musk’s attack.

“Traitor?” Kelly wrote. “Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.”

The back-and-forth between the two men comes as the Trump administration pressures Ukraine to reach a ceasefire with Russia, and to accept concessions that include giving the United States a stake in Ukrainian mineral resources and a willingness to cede territory to Russia.

Top Washington Post columnist, Ruth Marcus, resigns

A top political columnist for The Washington Post resigned today, accusing Post chief executive and publisher Will Lewis of killing her column that criticized owner Jeff Bezos's drive to overhaul the opinion pages to focus on his libertarian priorities.

Post columnist and Associate Editor Ruth Marcus, who has worked at the paper for four decades, says she can no longer stay there.

"Jeff's announcement that the opinion section will henceforth not publish views that deviate from the pillars of individual liberties and free markets threatens to break the trust of readers that columnists are writing what they believe, not what the owner has deemed acceptable," Marcus wrote in a resignation letter obtained by NPR.

More than 75,000 digital subscribers canceled in the 48 hours after Bezos revealed his intentions late last month, which included an edict that the paper would not print opposing views; then Opinions Editor David Shipley stepped down after vainly trying to dissuade Bezos from his course.

Marcus confirmed to NPR she had resigned and the authenticity of the letter but declined further comment.

"Will's decision to not …run the column that I wrote respectfully dissenting from Jeff's edict - something that I have not experienced in almost two decades of column-writing - underscores that the traditional freedom of columnists to select the topics they wish to address and say what they think has been dangerously eroded," she wrote.

"We're grateful for Ruth's significant contributions to The Washington Post over the past 40 years," a spokesperson for the paper said in a statement shared with NPR. "We respect her decision to leave and wish her the best." The Post did not address her allegations against Lewis.

In late October, Bezos killed a planned endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. That sparked 300,000 digital subscribers to cancel in the days that ensued.

And it raised questions about Bezos's motivations to his critics, who note that he is the executive chairman of Amazon and founder of Blue Origin, which together have billions of dollars of business with the federal government.

"What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias," Bezos wrote in a opinion piece explaining his decision. "A perception of non-independence. Ending them is a principled decision, and it's the right one."

Bezos has also moved closer to President Trump since the election, traveling with his fiancée to Mar-A-Lago to dine with the Trumps, paying $1 million toward his inauguration fund, sitting on the inauguration platform with other tech titans during the swearing in ceremony, and dining with Trump again late last month in Washington.

Amazon studios have approved two deals for documentaries involving the Trumps, one of which includes a $40 million payout to Melania Trump, according to Puck News.

All this led to critical columns about the endorsement decision in the Post's own pages and multiple resignations by editorial board members and by contributors to the wider opinions section. Shipley, while still editor, killed a cartoon late last year by Pulitzer Prize-winner Ann Telnaes showing Bezos among the media and tech figures abasing themselves before Trump; she resigned. A deluge of veterans have taken jobs at competing news outlets.

The Post's top news editor, Matt Murray, blocked reporters from covering the fallout at the newspaper, as NPR has reported.

Bezos' decisions about the opinion pages led veteran journalists who have been a part of the Post for decades to cut ties, including Associate Editor David Maraniss and former Senior Managing Editor Cameron Barr.

In her resignation Monday, Marcus said she had served at the Post as a reporter, deputy national editor, editorial writer, deputy editorial page editor before becoming a columnist and associate editor.

"I love the Post," Marcus wrote at the end of her resignation letter. "It breaks my heart to conclude that I must leave. I have the deepest affection and admiration for my colleagues and will miss them every day. And I wish you both the best as you steer this storied and critical institution through troubled times."

Ukraine Must Cede Territory in Any Peace Deal, Rubio Says

The secretary of state, heading to talks with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, said future talks with Moscow will be needed to determine what Russia is willing to give up to end the war.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday that Ukraine would have to make concessions over land that Russia had taken since 2014 as part of any agreement to end the war.

Mr. Rubio spoke as he was flying to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for talks with senior Ukrainian officials, and 10 days after a contentious White House meeting between President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky. The Trump administration halted military aid to Ukraine after the blowup, which centered on Mr. Trump’s refusal to include any security guarantees in a proposed deal involving Ukraine’s natural resources.

“The most important thing that we have to leave here with is a strong sense that Ukraine is prepared to do difficult things, like the Russians are going to have to do difficult things to end this conflict or at least pause it in some way, shape or form,” Mr. Rubio told reporters.

Mr. Rubio declined to offer the outline of a potential agreement but made clear that concessions by both sides would be central to diplomacy.

“I think both sides need to come to an understanding that there’s no military solution to this situation,” Mr. Rubio said. “The Russians can’t conquer all of Ukraine, and obviously it’ll be very difficult for Ukraine in any reasonable time period to sort of force the Russians back all the way to where they were in 2014.”

Mr. Rubio added that it would be imperative in future talks with Moscow to determine what Russia was willing to concede.

“We don’t know how far apart they truly are,” Mr. Rubio said.

The talks on Tuesday likely will not delve into the proposed agreement on Ukrainian natural resources that Mr. Trump had described as compensation for U.S. military support during the three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion. He has said that an American financial interest in Ukrainian fossil fuels and rare-earth minerals would provide Ukraine with implied security.

Although the United States has stopped sharing some intelligence with Ukraine, Mr. Rubio said it was still providing Kyiv with information that allowed it to continue defending itself against Russian attacks. He also said that there had never been a threat of removing Ukraine’s access to Starlink, the internet service company owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Even as the United States has been pressuring Ukraine in recent weeks, Mr. Trump has also threatened to impose additional sanctions on Russia in response to Moscow’s continued military activity. Mr. Rubio said that the United States was trying to demonstrate that it still had ways to coerce Russia in an effort to bring it to the negotiating table with Ukraine.

Mr. Rubio said he and Ukrainian officials would most likely discuss the resumption of military assistance during the meetings on Tuesday. He said the U.S. position on the issue could change if he believed that Ukraine was seriously committed to peace.

“I can assure you this, we will not be providing military aid to the Russians,” Mr. Rubio said.

Trump Education Department announces 60 more universities under scrutiny over antisemitism

The Department of Education’s civil rights arm warned 60 colleges and universities Monday that they could be next to have federal funding taken away over antisemitic discrimination and harassment on campus.

The five dozen named and shamed included six of the eight Ivy League institutions — Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton and Yale — and local schools Rutgers, Rutgers-Newark, Sarah Lawrence, three branches of the State University of New York, The New School and Wellesley.

Other prominent Northeastern colleges targeted in the letter were Emerson College in Boston; Lafayette College, Lehigh University, Muhlenberg College and Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania; and Middlebury College in Vermont.

“The Department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite U.S. campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless antisemitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year. University leaders must do better,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said in a statement. ...

85% of violent perps are set free in NYC

These are the worst — and wokest — judges in New York City when it comes to protecting the public from violent suspects.

These criminal court jurists set violent offenders loose ahead of trial at an astounding rate — with some springing alleged perps more than 80% of the time, according to a Post analysis of pretrial detention data from the Office of Court Administration.

The analysis looked at 96 judges who handled a minimum of 25 cases in the first six months of 2024 where the top charge at arraignment was a violent felony. Nearly all such cases are still bail-eligible, even after radical criminal-justice reforms were enacted by Albany lawmakers in 2019.

One of the city’s most egregious practitioners of this junk justice is Queens Criminal Court Judge Wanda Licitra, who only set bail five times and had no suspects held in pretrial detention in 34 violent felony cases spanning January to June 2024, the latest available data.

Licitra even set loose a feces fiend accused of smashing poop into a straphanger’s face on a subway platform — who cursed her out in court to boot.

“Judges like that, we call them judges who drink the Kool Aid, because instead of them focusing on the actual situation, they’re drinking the Kool Aid of bail reform,” one veteran criminal defense attorney who has repeatedly gone before Licitra told The Post.

Such jurists’ “broad ideological slide” toward opposing incarceration is endangering New Yorkers’ lives, said Hannah E. Meyers, a fellow and director of policing and public safety at the Manhattan Institute.

Many of these judges are “letting out dangerous people even when they know those people are dangerous and they’re failing to be responsible in those situations and safety of others,” she said.

Judges have bemoaned their hands are tied when deciding to set bail, citing how New York is the only state where jurists only can weigh whether a person will return to court, with zero consideration for whether they’re a public safety threat.

Yet criminal defense attorney Thomas Kenniff, who ran as a Republican against Alvin Bragg for Manhattan district attorney, stressed there are “many” ways to justify holding a violent perp on bail.

“Even when you can’t rely on the public safety criteria because of the dysfunctional laws in the state [to set bail], chances are you can get there some other way.”

An OCA spokesperson said the administration does not comment on bail decisions, but said judges “have discretion in making bail decisions in accordance with the law and based solely on an individualized assessment of a defendant’s risk of flight.”

None of the following judges responded to requests for comment.

House to vote on CR stopgap Tuesday, then send members home. Johnson can only lose 3 votes.

Mike Johnson to Chuck Schumer on government funding: Your move.

House Republicans are pushing a not-so-clean spending patch through September that would add billions of dollars for deportations, veterans’ health care and the military — and cut $13 billion in funding for non-defense programs. The speaker is planning to put the stopgap, known as a continuing resolution or a CR, on the floor Tuesday, and then send members home for recess before the Senate can send back any changes.

Johnson is hoping to get the CR through the House without relying on Democratic votes (House Democratic leaders reaffirmed Saturday that they’re a “no”). President Donald Trump is publicly pushing GOP lawmakers to fall in line, but Johnson’s still got a few Republican holdouts. Rep. Thomas Massie is a no. And we’re keeping an eye on Reps. Tony Gonzales, who said Sunday on CNN that he’ll make a “game-time decision;” Brian Fitzpatrick, who told CBS he’s undecided; and Cory Mills, who is also on the fence.

But the spending patch can’t get through the Senate without the help of at least eight Democrats, given expected opposition from GOP Sen. Rand Paul. And that’s putting Schumer in a bind.

The Senate minority leader and his House counterpart are both under pressure from within their party to do more to stop Trump and Elon Musk’s unilateral cuts to federal programs. Hakeem Jeffries’ caucus can likely oppose the spending patch en masse without prompting a shutdown, but Schumer doesn’t have the same cover. Senate Democrats will have to decide whether they’ll push back on Trump and force a shutdown, or stand down to keep the government running. Johnson’s already trying to cast any lapse in funding as a “Chuck Schumer shutdown.”

Some Senate Democrats seemed open last week to supporting a clean CR. But Sen. Patty Murray, the top Democrat on Senate Appropriations, slammed House Republicans’ weekend proposal as a “slush fund” that would give Trump and Musk “more power over federal spending.” She continued to call for a shorter spending patch to give appropriators time to finish the full funding bills — an outcome also favored by Murray's GOP counterpart, Sen. Susan Collins.

And swing-state Sen. Elissa Slotkin told NBC News she’d “withhold” her vote unless she gets “assurances that whatever we pass … is going to ensure that the money is spent the way Congress intends.” Sen. Tim Kaine posted on X that he's a "hell no" on the bill.

What else we’re watching:

Tax Talk: House Ways and Means Republicans will meet today to start drafting the tax portion of the GOP’s party-line bill. The session is expected to last all day and will be followed by a second meeting on Wednesday. Committee members will have to hash out how to extend Trump’s expiring tax cuts in addition to fulfilling Trump’s campaign promises like no taxes on tips or overtime.

Rules: The Rules Committee will have a hearing on advancing the stopgap funding bill and other legislation at 4 p.m. It’s expected to clear the panel, setting up a vote on the spending bill on Tuesday.

Horror in Syria as 'naked women are paraded and shot dead': More than 1,000 killed in just two days

More than 1,000 Syrians have been killed in just two days in brutal revenge killings as the conflict-riddled nation is gripped by bloody clashes between its new rulers and loyalists of ousted President Bashar Assad.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in addition to 745 civilians, mostly killed in massacres, 125 government security force members and 148 militants with armed groups affiliated with Assad were killed.

It added that electricity and drinking water were cut off in large areas around the city of Latakia.

The violent clashes, which erupted Thursday, are some of the deadliest since Syria's conflict began 14 years ago, and marked a major escalation in the challenge to the new government in Damascus, three months after insurgents took authority after removing Assad from power.

Witnesses revealed how women were reportedly told to 'walk naked' before being shot dead amid horrifying scenes in Syria.

The government has said that they were responding to attacks from remnants of Assad's forces and blamed 'individual actions' for the rampant violence.

The revenge killings that were started by Sunni Muslim gunmen loyal to the government against members of Assad's minority Alawite sect are a major blow to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the faction that led the overthrow of the former government.

Alawites made up a large part of Assad's support base for decades.

Residents of Baniyas, one of the towns worst hit by the violence, said bodies were strewn on the streets or left unburied in homes and on the roofs of buildings, and nobody was able to collect them.

One witness said that the gunmen prevented residents for hours from removing the bodies of five of their neighbors killed Friday at close range.

'They forcibly brought people down to the streets, then they lined them up and started shooting them,' a resident of Baniyasin told Sky News.

'They left nobody. They left nobody at all. The scene that I saw was pure horror; it's just indescribable,' he said.

The man also described how women were forced to 'walk naked' before being gunned down.

Ali Sheha, a 57-year-old resident of Baniyas who fled with his family and neighbors hours after the violence broke out Friday, said that at least 20 of his neighbors and colleagues in one neighborhood of Baniyas where Alawites lived, were killed, some of them in their shops, or in their homes.

Sheha called the attacks 'revenge killings' of the Alawite minority for the crimes committed by Assad's government.

Other residents said the gunmen included foreign fighters, and militants from neighboring villages and towns.

'It was very very bad. Bodies were on the streets,' as he was fleeing, Sheha said, speaking by phone from nearly 20 kilometers (12 miles) away from the city.

He said the gunmen were gathering less than 100 meters from his apartment building, firing randomly at homes and residents and in at least one incident he knows of, asked residents for their IDs to check their religion and their sect before killing them.

The Observatory's chief Rami Abdurrahman said revenge killings stopped early on Saturday.

'This was one of the biggest massacres during the Syrian conflict,' he said about the killings of Alawite civilians.

The previous figure given by the group was more than 200 dead. No official figures have been released.

Horrific footage shows the violent clashes, with one video showing street fighters exchanging gunfire.

The leaders of Syria's three main Christian churches issued a joint statement Saturday condemning 'massacres targeting innocent civilians', following reports of mass killings of Alawite civilians by the security forces.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also said '532 Alawite civilians were killed in the coastal regions of Syria and the Latakia mountains by security forces and allied groups'.

'In recent days, Syria has witnessed a dangerous escalation of violence, brutality, and killings, resulting in attacks on innocent civilians, including women and children,' the joint statement said.

It was signed by the patriarchs of the Greek Orthodox, Syriac Orthodox and Melkite Greek Catholic Churches.

The reported killings on the Mediterranean coast - the heartland of the Alawite religious minority - was gripped by fighting between the country's new security forces and gunmen loyal to toppled president Bashar al-Assad.

Though the majority of Syria's Christians fled during the civil war that erupted in 2011, the city of Latakia, which has been hard hit by the latest violence, is home to a small Christian community.

'The Christian churches, while strongly condemning any act that threatens civil peace, denounce and condemn the massacres targeting innocent civilians, and call for an immediate end to these horrific acts, which stand in stark opposition to all human and moral values,' the statement said.

'The churches also call for the swift creation of conditions conducive to achieving national reconciliation among the Syrian people.'

They urged a 'transition to a state that... lays the foundation for a society based on equal citizenship and genuine partnership, free from the logic of vengeance and exclusion'.

The spiritual leader of Syria's Druze minority, Sheikh Hikmat al-Hajri, also called for an end to the violence.

'The flames that burn under sectarian slogans will burn all of Syria and its people,' he said in a statement.

Assad, himself an Alawite who sought to present himself as a protector of Syria's minorities, was ousted on December 8 in a lightning offensive led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.

The group's leader Ahmed al-Sharaa has since been appointed Syria's interim president.

The new authorities have repeatedly promised an inclusive transition that protects the rights of religious minorities.

The Alawite heartland has nonetheless been gripped by fear of reprisals for the Assad family's brutal rule.

On Saturday morning, the bodies of 31 people killed in revenge attacks the day before in the central village of Tuwaym were laid to rest in a mass grave, residents said. They included nine children and four women, the residents said.

Lebanese legislator Haidar Nasser, who holds one of the two seats allocated to the Alawite sect in parliament, said people were fleeing to Lebanon. He did not have exact numbers.

Mr Nasser said many people were sheltering at the Russian air base in Hmeimim, adding that the international community should protect Alawites who are Syrian citizens loyal to their country. He said that since Assad's fall, many Alawites had been fired from their jobs and some former soldiers who reconciled with the new authorities were killed.

Under Assad, Alawites held top posts in the army and security agencies. The new government has blamed his loyalists for attacks against the country's new security forces over recent weeks.

The most recent clashes started when government forces tried to detain a wanted person near the coastal city of Jableh, and were ambushed by Assad loyalists, according to the Observatory.

Ten Caribbean countries sign up for China Belt and Road

On December 2, 1823, President James Monroe gave his 7th State of the Union address before Congress, using the occasion to advance what would later become known as the Monroe Doctrine.

After a string of former Spanish colonies in the Americas declared their independence, Monroe said the United States would oppose further predation in the region from the European empires to preserve the newly emancipated states.

As American power exploded during the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Monroe Doctrine evolved and increasingly came to mean Washington's opposition to any potentially hostile foreign power establishing itself in the Americas. With this and a variety of more mercantile motives in mind, the U.S. made a series of military interventions in Latin America and the Caribbean.

However, the past few decades have seen a dramatic increase in Chinese economic and diplomatic influence across the region, with one foreign policy expert telling Newsweek that Beijing wants to "turn the Caribbean Sea into a Chinese lake."

There are also concerns that the cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) imposed by President Donald Trump's administration since it took over in January could weaken American influence in the Caribbean.

One regional expert described the move to Newsweek as a "huge gift" to Beijing.

Newsweek reached out to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the U.S. State Department for comment via email and online inquiry form, respectively.

China is by some margin the United States' chief geopolitical rival, having seen its economic strength explode over the past few decades. Data from the World Trade Organization showed the value of Chinese manufacturing experts hit $1.81 trillion in 2023, up 30 times on 2002, while America's global trade deficit was over $1.2 trillion.

Chinese trade with and investment in Central America and the Caribbean have expanded rapidly over the past few years. According to figures from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Chinese trade with the Caribbean went from $1 billion in 2002 to $8 billion in 2019, when $6.1 billion worth of Chinese exports and $1.9 billion in imports were recorded.

The committee identified major Chinese projects, including the development of a $3 billion deep-water port on Grand Bahama, just 55 miles from the U.S. mainland, and a $600 million investment to improve the Dominican Republic's electricity grid. According to Forbes, China is funding $2.1 billion worth of projects in Jamaica and $773 million in Suriname.

As of 2022, ten Caribbean countries had signed up to Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative, a major Chinese economic program that critics argue is a Trojan horse for geopolitical ambitions: Cuba, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, Barbados, Dominica, Antigua & Barbuda, Dominican Republic and Jamaica.

Speaking to Newsweek, Evan Ellis, a research professor at the U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute who specializes in the relationship between Latin America and China, said that while individual Chinese companies primarily have commercial objectives, Beijing is keeping a close eye on the wider strategic picture.

"Although I don't believe that Chinese companies pursue presence in the region principally because of the military value, the military opportunities that such commercial presence, and political and military relationships potentially provide in time of war, is obvious to the People's Liberation Army and the Chinese government," Ellis said.

Ellis added, "On a per capita basis, there is no other part of the Western Hemisphere that receives the quantity of trips for its police and defense force officials two Chinese military institutions, gifts of police and military vehicles and material, visits by Chinese hospital ships, and other [People's Liberation Army] military diplomacy as does the Caribbean."

Alan Mendoza, executive director of the London-based security think tank the Henry Jackson Society, told Newsweek that Beijing is actively seeking to challenge the U.S. in the Caribbean.

"China appears intent on trying to turn the Caribbean Sea into a Chinese lake with its strategic investments and attempts to secure influence in the region," Mendoza said. "The Trump administration could easily employ a carrot and stick approach to roll this back however, by offering trade and investment inducements of its own while making clear the consequences of ignoring a generous offer."

John Lee, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute think tank who served as a senior national security adviser to the Australian foreign minister between 2016 and 2018, told Newsweek that Chinese activities raise a "threefold" threat to U.S. influence in the Caribbean and Latin America.

"First, increased economic, financial, and technological dependency on China offers Beijing opportunity to exert influence in the geopolitical decisions and even domestic politics of smaller states...Second, China seeks to redefine and change the rules and standards used by nations to conduct commerce and trade in its favor," Lee said.

"Third, Chinese development and operation of ports in foreign countries has been used by Beijing to gather significant military and economic intelligence for the purposes of aiding China in its geopolitical rivalry with the U.S."

Chinese President Xi Jinping has described the unification of Taiwan, an island democracy of 23 million that Beijing regards as a renegade province, with mainland China as "inevitable" and has refused to rule out using force to resolve the issue.

In an interview with Newsweek, Christopher Sabatini, a Latin America specialist at the London-based Chatham House think tank, said the intensity of China's involvement in the Caribbean and Central America has partly been an attempt to persuade countries to break off relations with Taiwan.

"If you look at before the recent flurry of diplomatic initiatives, the countries that were recognizing Taiwan, the overwhelming majority of them were in the Caribbean and Central America so it was an obvious target for their efforts if you will, economic and diplomatic," Sabatini said.

In 2018, Panama and the Dominican Republic cut their long-standing diplomatic ties with Taiwan, followed by Nicaragua in 2021.

Sabatini said China had a "long-term strategy of lining up countries that would support it in multilateral organizations," adding, "It wasn't an immediate military threat...there was a larger long-term plan of picking a team, stacking up chips."

Ellis made a similar point: "Five of the 12 countries in the world that recognize Taiwan rather than the [People's Republic of China] are found in the Caribbean basin at a moment in which eliminating Taiwan's sources of international legitimacy is of increased importance to President Xi Jinping."

Chinese influence has increased significantly around the strategically vital Panama Canal over the past couple of decades, with two of the five ports near its entrance being run by Hong Kong-based companies. This has infuriated Trump, who has vowed to restore the canal to American ownership, which was handed over in 1999 following a 1977 treaty.

Speaking at his inauguration in January, Trump said, "Above all, China is operating the Panama Canal. And we didn't give it to China. We gave it to Panama, and we're taking it back."

Trump has also refused to rule out using force to regain control over the canal.

Ellis said China's influence around the canal could "give the Chinese opportunities to interrupt canal traffic in time of war, whether by physical or electronic attacks on locks, disabling a large ship in the Culebra Cut, mining the canal, or other activities."

However, Sabatini warned against overestimating the threat from Chinese-owned ports near the canal, commenting, "The truth is much of that intelligence that could have been gathered could equally have been gathered by satellite imagery or even by setting up listening posts. These were not insidious outposts of Chinese military influence."

In a victory for the U.S. president earlier this month, CK Hutchison Holdings, the Hong Kong-based company that owned two ports by the Panama Canal, announced it had sold them to an American BlackRock-led acquisition in a $23 billion deal.

There has also been a surge in the number of encounters between suspected Chinese illegal migrants and U.S. law enforcement on both the Mexican and Canadian borders.

According to a May 2024 report by the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability, the figure surged from 1,970 in the 2022 fiscal year to 24,376 two years later. Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration one of his main policy priorities.

Sabatini told Newsweek that China views mass migration via the southern border, via failed states in Latin America and the Caribbean, as a way of tying down American resources that could otherwise be deployed elsewhere.

"In the case of Haiti, or other failed states, China and Russia are more than happy to see those states continue to just collapse to send migrants, to send insecurity and drugs to the United States," Sabatini said.

"So they don't actually have to militarily intervene. They've got a number of dumpster fires basically on the doorstep of the United States. Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and of course Haiti now."

In the event of open war between the U.S. and China, Sabatini said: "What they're counting on Latin America for is being able to lock down a theater of operations...what they're looking to do is make sure they can lock up the U.S. on the southern border. We're not talking about an invasion, we're talking about reducing the operations of the United States in the theater of conflict."

The Trump administration has slashed staffing at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk has indicated that it will be closed down altogether.

According to the Congressional Research Service, the Biden administration requested $2.2 billion in USAID assistance for the Caribbean and Latin America in the 2025 fiscal year, so these cuts could significantly impact U.S. influence in the region.

Sabatini said this will reduce U.S. influence in the Caribbean and Central America to the benefit of rivals like China, describing the move as "an own goal" and a "huge gift" to Beijing.

He said the move "sends a signal that the U.S. simply isn't interested in extending a hand" and that China will likely move to "take advantage."

He also noted that civil society groups, such as independent media and educational organizations, in authoritarian Beijing-friendly countries such as Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela have been big recipients of USAID.

"That's now disappeared," Sabatini said. "Now, none of those NGOs that were receiving money are going to suddenly embrace the Chinese but [cutting] that money did just hand the Chinese a huge gift because those are Chinese allies...It's an own goal; they gave the field to the autocrats."

Lee agreed that the U.S. will struggle to contain Chinese influence in the Caribbean and Latin America without seeking to make a positive contribution to the region.

"There is no point worrying about increased Chinese leverage if these countries are not given alternatives in the form of ready access to fair rates of finance and market access," Lee said. "The Trump administration will need to balance legitimate concerns about unimpeded access to its domestic economy with these geopolitical concerns."

Professor Eric Hershberg, an expert in Latin American politics who used to teach at the American University in Washington, D.C., told Newsweek that China's growing influence was partly a response to the U.S.'s failure to provide what the Caribbean and Central America need.

"Despite intermittent pledges to partner with countries in the region around these needs, the U.S. government has not been a reliable source of access to major investment, and though substantial in some cases neither U.S. trade nor U.S. assistance to the region even remotely approximates what is needed in order for these countries to do minimally well," Hershberg said.

"In this context, the substantial commitments made by Chinese investors in recent years, particularly in infrastructure, have been vital to prospects for prosperity in Central America and the Caribbean."

Suspects in LA murder of good Samaritan who tried to stop catalytic converter theft were in country illegally

Two murder suspects who allegedly killed a good Samaritan in Los Angeles County while he was attempting to stop them from stealing his neighbor’s catalytic converter were in the country illegally and have lengthy criminal records, Fox News has learned.

Wilber Alberto Rabanales and Jose Christian Saravia Sanchez were arrested by police in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood Thursday for the Feb. 25 murder of Juan Miguel Sanchez.

The incident was caught on surveillance video.

Rabanales, a Guatemalan national, has been arrested at least 15 times in the last few years in the county, predominantly on gun charges, grand theft, burglary and drug charges, police sources told Fox News.

He has multiple grand theft arrests, mostly for stealing catalytic converters, and past charges for multiple DUIs, conspiracy, felon in possession of a gun, possession of burglary tools, possession of meth, possession of stolen property and felony hit-and-run during a police pursuit.

Sanchez has been arrested at least a dozen times, mostly for grand theft, gun charges, drugs, burglary, kidnapping, possession of meth and possession of burglary tools, the sources said.

Fox News Digital has reached out to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The victim was shot in the chest after he confronted the suspects while they were allegedly attempting to steal the catalytic converter, FOX 11 reported.

The suspects escaped in a car and were later arrested at a motel in Cudahy, California, about 15 miles east of Inglewood.

The victim’s sister, Susana Sanchez, said he would have turned 49 April 4.

"You took a big part of our heart," she said in an interview with FOX 11.

His family told the station he had left for work before 4 a.m. that morning because he wanted to get an early start at his job, where he had just been promoted while working to clean up after the Palisades Fire.

"He was a big man of faith, never missed mass on Sunday," his sister said. "He volunteered on Sunday mornings at church."

She added that he was the sole provider for his family.

"And now he’s gone, leaving my sister-in-law and two sons," she added.

The family told FOX 11 the victim had told his wife she should leave her job while she underwent chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Saudi Arabia’s Futuristic Hyped 'Line City' Metropolis in the Desert Is A Flop

It was supposed to be a launch party for the new Saudi Arabia.

Will Smith, Tom Brady and other celebrities gathered on a sandy island in the Red Sea packed with luxury hotels. Superyachts floated nearby while Alicia Keys played for business executives who had flown in from London and New York. Spotlights blared into the night sky.

The October event was the lavish opening of the first part of Neom, a planned metropolis defined by cutting-edge technology and psychedelic architecture, a cornerstone of the country’s plan to pivot its economy away from oil.

The truth for the project was less glamorous.

The relatively simple, low-rise development, known as Sindalah, was over three years late and on track to cost nearly $4 billion, three times its initial budget. Hotels were unfinished, high winds disrupted ferries and golf, and much of the site was still under construction.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Neom’s mastermind, was a surprise no-show. Neom board documents say the party cost at least $45 million. Many Neom staff viewed his absence as a sign of disapproval.

Weeks later, Neom’s boss of six years, a former crown prince favorite, left the project and a new crew of executives was installed to turn Neom around.

After spending more than $50 billion, the crown prince’s sci-fi-inspired dreams—an arid-mountain ski resort, a floating business district, and the Line, the 106-mile-long pair of Empire State Building-height skyscrapers that is Neom’s centerpiece—have collided with reality.

Costs have soared, delays are ubiquitous and a decision last year to reduce Neom’s first phase threatens to deprive the desert city of the critical mass of inhabitants needed to make it a modern business hub.

Behind Neom’s problems: a dance of mutual delusion in which the crown prince pushed for fantastical plans—and executives shielded him from the full scope of challenges and costs, according to former employees and a more than 100-page internal audit of the project presented to members of Neom’s board last spring and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

The audit report, labeled “final draft,” found that executives, at times aided by the project’s longtime consultants, McKinsey & Co., plugged unrealistically rosy assumptions into Neom’s business plan to justify rising cost estimates. The audit found “evidence of deliberate manipulation” of finances by “certain members of management.”

In a sign of the massive ambitions of the project, a draft board presentation from last summer pegged the capital expenditure required to build Neom to its “end-state” by 2080 at $8.8 trillion—more than 25 times the annual Saudi budget—and $370 billion for its first phase by 2035. The Saudi state is funding the lion’s share of Neom’s initial costs, although officials hope private investors will eventually share the burden.

A Neom spokeswoman said the Journal was “incorrectly interpreting” and misrepresenting the figures. She declined to provide additional detail.

Neom “champions excellence, professionalism, diversity and ethical conduct,” she said, and has policies requiring staff to uphold those values. The project’s “priorities are intact and the project remains on track, demonstrating tangible progress,” she said, adding that schedule and cost adjustments are common practice for large projects.

The Saudi government didn’t respond to questions about Neom or the crown prince’s involvement in the project.

A McKinsey spokesman said the firm ensures “compliance with the rules that govern international commerce.” He said any claim that it “has been involved in the manipulation of financial reporting is false.”

Saudi officials have begun referring to Neom as a generational investment that will bear fruit in decades to come—dropping descriptions that cast it as an economic engine starting in 2030. The country has long said its economic plan, Vision 2030, was filled with highly ambitious targets. Even accomplishing a portion would be a success, officials have said.

Other parts of the crown prince’s economic plan have transformed the country. Millions of women have joined the labor force. The private sector has grown to contribute nearly half of Saudi’s gross domestic product, according to the International Monetary Fund, and smaller megaprojects in Riyadh have made faster and more visible progress.

Neom, however, was meant to be the anchor. Launched in 2017, the concept was to build from scratch an international hub with fewer social and legal strictures than the rest of Saudi Arabia.

The crown prince compared the project to Egypt’s pyramids. He said it would mark a “civilizational revolution” and hold nine million people by 2045.

The crown prince chairs the boards of Neom and sub-boards of all of the projects within it, and his approval is frequently needed for architectural choices. A fan of videogames and sci-fi movies, the crown prince pushed the idea of “zero gravity” architecture that looks like it defies physics, some of the former employees said.

A feature known as the chandelier—essentially an empty glass building more than 30 stories tall—is planned to hang upside down from a giant steel bridge in the Line. It was designed by Marvel film designer Olivier Pron, who was brought in because staff knew the prince liked his movies, some of the former employees said.

Neom executives made plans to build 10 miles of the Line by 2030. This meant constructing the equivalent of all the office buildings in Midtown Manhattan three times over in a decade. It would require significant portions of the world’s available steel and window glass.

Costs would be a challenge. The remote construction site had virtually no labor, no sizable port, few roads and insufficient electricity. The design involved an amusement park built 1,000 feet up and theaters suspended in the air between the parallel towers.

They made the numbers work on paper by saying the Line would cost less a square foot than tall skyscrapers in Riyadh, some of the former employees said. Planners assumed economies of scale would bring prices down.

Former managers and executives within Neom said they routinely considered projections completely unrealistic. Some refused to sign documents attesting to aggressive schedules and targets. Plans were pushed ahead regardless.

The original architect of the Line, Thom Mayne of Los Angeles-based firm Morphosis, wanted to express concerns to the crown prince about the Line’s high costs. Neom executives rejected his requests, according to one of the former employees.

Bids on early work from contractors ran high. One way executives hid rising costs was to beef up profit assumptions, according to the internal audit and some of the former employees.

The crown prince encouraged Neom to use a commonly used investment metric known as the internal rate of return, essentially the percentage of an investment that comes back in annual profit. If a hotel costs $1 million to build, and is worth $1.1 million a year later, it would have an IRR of 10%.

At Trojena, the planned ski resort, a fall 2023 review found that costs had surged by over $10 billion, according to an internal presentation reviewed by the Journal. That caused the IRR to fall to 7%, below the project’s target of around 9%.

To cover the gap, estimates for the rate at an “inventive glamping” site were readjusted to $704 a night, up from $216, according to the presentation. A “boutique hiking hotel” room was pegged at $1,866 a night, up from $489. The changes helped to push the IRR up to 9.3%.

The audit said Antoni Vives, who oversaw the broad vision at Neom and then ran Sindalah, justified rising costs with higher assumptions on revenue, rather than reassessing them as too expensive. He told colleagues and McKinsey consultants in an email before a key meeting that “we must not proactively mention cost at all.”

Dissent was also quashed. A Sindalah project manager was “removed after they challenged cost estimates,” the internal audit report found.

An attorney for Vives said that work at Neom “was done with total honesty and with the ambition that the project demands, in addition to absolute loyalty to the leadership of the country.”

McKinsey helped to create “models to help improve the IRR calculation,” the audit said. The firm validated financial projections for Sindalah after a separate adviser refused to do so, according to the audit.

The auditors recommended further investigation into potential conflicts of interest because McKinsey served both in planning and in validating the projects.

McKinsey’s fees at Neom have topped $130 million in a single year, according to people familiar with the fees.

The McKinsey spokesman said the firm has “strict protocols to prevent conflicts of interest in our engagements.” He added McKinsey was “not responsible for Sindalah’s integrated financial reporting.”

The Neom spokeswoman said the organization has “improved its internal controls and governance, particularly around procurement and managing third parties.”

A key driver of costs has been the Line’s 1,640-foot height. Engineering and construction challenges make it hard to build profitable supertall towers anywhere, let alone in the remote desert. Neom staff repeatedly urged executives to reduce the height to around 1,000 feet to save on costs.

At a Neom board meeting last spring, the crown prince “clarified the inappropriateness of reducing the height” of the tower, board minutes show. Cost savings should be found elsewhere, he said.

The head of the country’s wealth fund, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, suggested instead to use “new technologies to reduce the labor force.”

Officials mothballed the portion of a rail line that involved digging an 18-mile tunnel through a mountain. They delayed the first piece of the Line, which had already been reduced to 1½ miles from 10 miles planned earlier. The current aim is to open the first half-mile chunk—topped by a stadium to host World Cup matches—by 2034.

“We’ll start to go vertical—hopefully—at the end of this year,” Denis Hickey, who oversees the development of the Line, said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January.

At Sindalah, the island resort remains unfinished. Restaurant workers have been reading books to pass the time without guests to serve, people who worked at the resort say. The golf course and hotels, four months after the party, still aren’t open to the public.

🚨 BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel is "AGGRESSIVELY" working to comply with the records requests from Congress *AHEAD* of deadline.

Kash Patel is following through on his transparency promise.

Patel just recently gave the Judiciary Committee "more than 400 pages" regarding what the committee asked for - more than a WEEK ahead of the March 17 deadline - at the request of Jim Jordan.

Those topics include things like AG Garland's school board memo and the investigation into the Jan. 6 pipe bomb investigation.

He has also ALREADY turned over documents regarding the FBI's engagement with social media, and the now-terminated Foreign Influence Task Force.

There are also reportedly "MINIMAL redactions" in these documents.

Good! Utah Becomes 1st State To Ban Fluoride In Tap Water Weeks After RFK Jr. Sworn In

In a huge development, and coming just weeks after federal health secretary and Fluoride-skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn into office, the state of Utah has become the first state to ban fluoride in public drinking water.

The landmark move also comes soon after recent major health studies were published which linked the decades-long US fluoridization in public drinking water with lower IQ in children.

Since the 1950s many Americans have protested public water fluoridation, correctly pointing out the fact fascists and communists have had a history of using water fluoridation to dumb down and mentally neuter their populations, making a civilian population easier to brainwash, subvert and control.

"Republican Gov. Spencer Cox said he would sign legislation that bars cities and communities from deciding whether to add the mineral to their water systems," The Associated Press reports Monday.

The long-running State-fueled propaganda has been that fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities - and this still remains the official lie of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The FDA literally has a poison warning label on the side of toothpaste and other products with fluoride, saying that it's not meant to be ingested. So why drink it? - skeptics have long questioned.

Already, some cities across the country have gotten rid of fluoride from their water, and other municipalities are considering doing the same. A few months ago, a federal judge ordered the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to regulate fluoride in drinking water because high levels could pose a risk to kids’ intellectual development.

A Utah teenager who urged lawmakers to pass the bill described suffering a medical emergency when the fluoride pump in Sandy, Utah, malfunctioned in 2019, releasing an excessive amount of the mineral into the drinking water. The fluoride sickened hundreds of residents and led many in Utah to push for its removal.

It’s rare to find high levels of fluoridation in water, according to the National Institutes of Health. The agency said it’s “virtually impossible” to get a toxic dose of fluoride from water with standard levels of the mineral.

Those who are against the mass government-backed social program to add fluoride to water have long been attacked as "conspiracy" loons, etc. But skepticism of the program has recently gone more and more mainstream, especially as more objective science has take a fresh look at the matter.

Trump Will Buy "Brand New Tesla" In Show Of Support For Musk & DOGE

Tuesday, Mar 11, 2025 - 05:45 AM

President Trump announced early Tuesday morning on Truth Social that he will support Elon Musk by purchasing a new Tesla.

While the president did not specify which model he intends to purchase, his endorsement comes as Musk's DOGE has been a massive success, neutering parts of the Deep State—though not without consequences for the billionaire.

Musk has faced backlash from unhinged leftists, who have attacked Tesla showrooms, torched Tesla Superchargers, attacked vehicles, and even initiated a boycott—all because these folks are outraged that DOGE has found billions of waste and fraud within the federal bureaucracy.

"To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is "putting it on the line" in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

In recent weeks, Torsten Slok, Apollo's chief economist, has pointed out that DOGE-related federal government job cuts could reach around 300,000. He said combined layoffs of federal workers and contractors could top one million, as DOGE's demolition of the corrupt Deep State is a mandate the American people handed the president.

TB has reappeared in the US. Why?

By Rhoda Wilson on March 11, 2025

Yesterday Science Alert reported that an outbreak in the USA of tuberculosis (“TB”) began in January 2024 in Kansas City, Kansas, and two nearby counties. To date, 147 people have been diagnosed with TB with 67 becoming ill.

TB is always present in our environment but people only become ill with TB when their immune systems are weakened or damaged.

The World Health Organisation says, “About a quarter of the global population is estimated to have been infected with TB bacteria. About 5-10% of people infected with TB will eventually get symptoms and develop TB disease.”

Why, if TB is so common, do relatively few develop the disease?

Active TB disease occurs when the immune system can no longer control the bacteria, allowing them to multiply and cause illness. Conditions that weaken the immune system, such as HIV, diabetes, cancer and malnutrition, increase the risk of developing active TB disease.

Inactive TB (or latent TB infection) is when the bacteria are present in the body but are not actively multiplying, and the person is not sick or contagious. Inactive TB can become active if the immune system weakens, leading to active TB disease. People typically do not succumb to the disease unless their immune systems are weakened, making them more susceptible to the bacteria multiplying and causing active TB disease.

TB Vaccine is Not Effective So Why is it Used?

The CDC gives three reasons why the BCG is not used in the United States:

the low risk of infection with TB bacteria in the US;

the variable effectiveness of the vaccine against adult pulmonary TB; and,

the vaccine’s potential to cause a false-positive TB skin test reaction.

Secretary Rubio: Minerals Deal Not Important, Finding Out if Ukraine Truly wants Peace is Goal of Saudi Meeting

March 11, 2025 | Sundance |

The information from Secretary of State Marco Rubio looks good. During his flight to Saudi Arabia, Secretary Rubio answered a few questions about the U.S. delegation expectations of the meeting with Ukraine officials.

Rubio notes the aforementioned “minerals deal” is not an important part of the larger objective.Secretary Rubio says that finding out if Ukraine’s desire for peace with Russia is true, in good faith or not, is the key objective. A pragmatic Rubio also notes that Ukraine is likely going to have to give up lost territory to achieve peace.

FOX NEWS – […] “”The minerals deal is on the table that’s continuing to be worked on – it’s not part of this conversation, per se,”he said, noting that Tuesday’s meeting in Jeddah can be considered successful even without securing such an agreement.

[…] “The important point in this meeting is to establish clearly their intentions, their desire, as they’ve said publicly now, numerous times, to reach a point where peace is possible,” Rubio said, addingthat he will need to be assured that Kyiv is prepared to make some hard decisions, like giving up territory seized by Russia, in order to end the three-year war.

“Both sides need to come to an understanding,” he said. “The Russians can’t conquer all of Ukraine, and obviously it will be very difficult for Ukraine, in any reasonable time period, to sort of force the Russians back all the way to where they were in 2014.

So the only solution to this war is diplomacy and getting them to a table where that’s possible.

“Then we’ll have to determine how far they are from the Russian position, which we don’t know yet either. And then once you understand where both sides truly are, itgives you a sense of how big the divide is and how hard it’s going to be,”Rubio explained. “I’m hoping it’ll be a positive interaction along those lines.” (more)

Rubio also seems to indicate that if the U.S delegation senses this is all just lies and disinformation from the Ukraine side, then President Trump’s approach to providing financial support will moderate accordingly.

“The pause in aid broadly is something I hope we can resolve,” Rubio said. “I think what happens tomorrow will be key to that.”

Secretary Marco Rubio continues to surprise us in the way he has totally stopped pretending about geopolitical matters. There is no sunlight between the continually expressed and defined positions of Marco Rubio and the identical positions, perspectives and policies expressed by President Trump.

This is quite a remarkable change in Rubio’s political persona. Is it real?

‘Romania under tyranny’: How EU-sceptic Calin Georgescu was barred from new elections

The Central Electoral Bureau has prohibited the politician from standing for the May presidential vote over his “anti-democratic” views

Romania’s Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) has blocked Calin Georgescu’s bid to participate in the May presidential election. The right-wing, anti-establishment candidate’s surprise victory in the first round of the November vote had triggered a rerun.

The electoral authorities in Bucharest cited the outspoken politician’s supposed failure to “comply with the rules of the electoral procedure, violating the very obligation… to defend democracy.” BEC had previously received more than 1,000 complaints against Georgescu regarding his “extremist” views.

The ruling can be appealed to the Constitutional Court within 24 hours.

UK, EU and NATO Partners Launch Massive Wave of Drone Attacks Against Moscow

March 11, 2025 | Sundance |

Approximately 60 drones were launched from Ukraine overnight to attack the Russian capital city of Moscow.This is the largest escalation of drone/missile attacks into Russia so far.

The attack comes, predictably, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Nat Sec Advisor Mike Waltz and President Trump envoy Steve Witkoff arrive in Saudi Arabiafor preliminary face-to-face talks with Ukraine officials. The pattern repeats.

Each time PresidentTrump’s diplomatic team are scheduled to meet with Russia or Ukraine officialsin their quest to stop the bloodshed, the intelligence apparatus in control of theNATO proxy war triggers an escalating disruption targeting Russia.

Hitting Moscow with a wave of 60 drones is a major escalation, because face-to-face meetings with U.S and Ukraine officials are at a critical inflection point. Each uptick in the offensive action from Ukraine is directly proportional to the increased seriousness of the peace talks.

(VIA AP) – A total of 69 Ukrainian drones targeting the Russian capital were shot down in a massive attack on Tuesday morning, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.

The attack, the biggest targeting Moscow in months, came as a Ukrainian delegation was set to meet with America’s top diplomat in Saudi Arabia about ending the three-year war with Russia.

At least 11 of the drones were shot down in the Ramensky and Domodedovo districts of the Moscow region surrounding the Russian capital, Sobyanin said on the messaging app Telegram. He didn’t specify where the other drones were shot down, noting only that they were “flying towards Moscow.”

The governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov, said that one person was killed and three more wounded as the result of the drone attack. The attack damaged seven apartments in a residential building in the Ramensky district, he said.

Sobyanin said the roof of a building in Moscow also sustained damage, which he described as “insignificant.”

Flights have been restricted in and out of three Moscow airports, including Domodedovo and Zhukovsky to the south and southeast of the city and Sheremetyevo to the north, according to Russian civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia.

Train traffic through the Domodedovo railway station also has been halted, local officials reported. (link)

At first review it seems like the terrainmapping component of the targeting system was not accurate or in place. Hence, unless NATO was intentionally targeting residential buildings, just like the attacks in Kazan some of the drones hit civilian high-rise buildings on the way to Moscow airport.

However, don’t get lost in the weeds on this.60+ drones launched against Russia’s largest city is intended to draw a major retaliationfrom Russian President Vladimir Putin, that iswhat the UK/EU and NATO apparatus want. The Zelenskyy peoplewant Russia to attack Kievso they can enlarge the scale and scope of U.S. involvement.

I sincerely hope President Trump is on the phone with President Putin, and I hope Trump’s instructions to Rubio, Waltz and Witkoff are to put fierce pressure on Ukraine at the meeting in Saudi Arabia.

Only through strong, extreme and even perhaps vicious diplomacy, is Ukraine going to be brought to heel. The EU and NATO must also suffer strong geopolitical consequences for their efforts to disrupt any effort at peace.

The pretending must stop. Each time the UK/EU/NATO team use Ukraine to escalate the fight, the EU and NATO must pay a price. The American people need to understand what the dynamic really is here,even if it eventually means President Trump calling it out directly.

US envoy expected to visit Moscow to discuss Ukraine conflict – media

Steve Witkoff is reportedly planning to meet President Vladimir Putin while US officials negotiate with a Ukrainian delegation in Saudi Arabia

US President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff,is set to travel to Moscow this week for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, multiple media outlets including Reuters and Bloomberg have reported.

Neither US nor Russian officials have publicly confirmed the trip so far.

The scheduled visit is reportedly part of the White House’s ongoing efforts to negotiate a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict.Witkoff previously met Putin in Moscow in February, in what he called a “trust-building” exercisewhich led to the release of US citizen Marc Fogel by Moscow in exchange for Russian national Aleksandr Vinnik.

According to Axios journalist Barak Ravid, Witkoff isexpected to arrive in Moscow on March 13.A potential meeting with Putin in Moscow is scheduled for Thursday, Ravid wrote on X on Tuesday, which would follow on the heels of US Senators Rubio and Waltz meeting Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

The Saudi talks will assess Ukraine’s willingness to make “material concessions” to Russia for a ceasefire, Reuters reports, citing US officials. It comes as Trump has increased pressure on Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky to negotiate peace with Moscow.

Witkoff has been actively engaged in efforts to address the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Last month, he participated in US-Russia negotiations held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, alongside Rubio and Waltz in the first high-level bilateral meetings since former President Joe Biden’s administration froze relations with Moscow in 2022.

Kiev plans to propose an air and naval truce on Tuesday, a Ukrainian official told AFP. Russia has dismissed temporary ceasefires as a tactic to delay Ukraine’s defeat.

Zelensky is not scheduled to participate directly in the upcoming talks between US and Ukrainian officials. He met with with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday.

Trump, who has pushed to improve relations with Moscow since taking office in January, signaled on Sunday that “big meetings” were planned involving both Russia and Ukraine. Trump’s approach marks a shift from the former President Joe Biden administration’s policies, which maintained a more confrontational stance toward the Kremlin.
