New Mexico Lawmakers Open Investigation Into Epstein's Zorro Ranch

February 17th, 2026

https://www.allsides.com/story/general-news-new-mexico-lawmakers-open-investigation-epsteins-zorro-ranch

New Mexico lawmakers on Monday opened an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch after it was mentioned several times in recently released Epstein documents.

The Details: The legislation, passed unanimously, created a special bipartisan committee of two Republicans and two Democrats who will investigate allegations of criminal activity at the 7,600-acre ranch, which is located 30 miles from Santa Fe. It would also seek testimony from survivors of alleged abuse and trafficking at the ranch through a "Truth Commission." According to Reuters (Center bias), the committee will release interim findings in July and a final report by the end of the year.

Alleged Crimes at Zorro Ranch: Last week, New Mexico's Department of Justice requested unredacted access from the Department of Justice to an anonymous email from 2019 that alleged two "foreign girls" were killed and buried at Zorro Ranch. The tip, which radio host Eddy Aragon shared with the FBI, reportedly included video footage of Epstein assaulting and strangling the women, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican (Center).

Other Allegations: Reuters reported Epstein was named in several civil suits accusing him of sexual assault at the ranch, though he was never charged. It also cited reports from a ranch manager in 2007 who said Epstein would fly in guests and "masseuses" and hired local massage therapists to work there. According to Axios (Lean Left), Epstein accuser Annie Farmer said in 2021 she was abused by both Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell at the ranch when she was 16 years old.

FDA reverses course, will review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine

Moderna revised its application following the FDA's surprise decision to not review the flu shot.

Feb 18 2026

Moderna said on Wednesday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has agreed to review its influenza vaccine, reversing an earlier decision to reject the application, after the company made modifications.

The reversal, which comes just a week after the FDA’s surprise decision to not review the company’s experimental flu vaccine application, lifted shares of the vaccine maker more than 3% before the bell.

The FDA has accepted Moderna’s revised approach seeking full approval for the shot for adults aged between 50 and 64, and accelerated approval for those aged 65 and above, the company said, adding that it will also conduct a post-marketing study in older adults.

New Mexico Launches Probe Into What Happened At Epstein's 'Zorro Ranch'

Until now, the public's visualizations of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal have largely centered on his Caribbean Island and his seven-story New York townhouse, but a new setting is poised to take greater prominence, as the New Mexico legislature just launched a wide-ranging investigation into what took place at Epstein's "Zorro Ranch" about 30 miles south of Santa Fe. One line of inquiry focuses on a redacted email in the DOJ files alleging that two "foreign girls" were buried on the property.

“He was basically doing anything he wanted in this state without any accountability whatsoever,” New Mexico state Representative Andrea Romero, a Democrat who co-sponsored the probe, told NBC News. She said there's no indication that the FBI ever searched the property.

With a $2.5 million budget approved by unanimous vote of the legislature, a "truth commission" of Democrats and Republicans will head up the probe into potential criminal activity on the 7,600-acre property that features both a 26,700-square-foot mansion and guest houses. Legislators are urging victims to come forward, but multiple accusations of sexual misconduct at the ranch have already been made. For example:

Annie Farmer, who testified at Ghislaine Maxwell's trial, said Maxwell gave her a nude massage there when Farmer was 16 years old - and that, the next morning, Epstein entered her bed and "pressed his body" into hers.

A victim identifed as "Jane" testified that she was taken to the ranch and abused when she was only 14 years old. “I just remember someone, at one point, just came into [my] room and said: ‘Jeffrey wants to see you,’ and then escorted me to see him.”

The late Virginia Giuffre claimed to have been abused at the ranch, and that Epstein partner-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell instructed her to "massage" former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson there - with "massage" mutually understood to mean sexual intimacy.

A Santa Fe massage therapist accused Epstein of sexually abusing her at the ranch.

The most disturbing but least-substantiated claim was made anonymously - an email in the possession of the DOJ said two females were buried in the hills near the ranch. Last week, the New Mexico Chief of Criminal Affairs asked the DOJ to give his department "immediate access to a complete, unredacted version of file EFTA01250229" along with forensic information associated with the email and any DOJ documents associated with it.

U.S. rejection of new mRNA flu vaccine sends chills epidemiologist says

Feb 17 2026

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced recently that it will not review Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine, despite late-stage trials showing it was safe and effective. The rejection has many in and outside the industry concerned about the Trump administration’s approach to vaccine development and recommendations.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day

February 18, 2026

Orion's Cradle

Cradled in red-glowing hydrogen gas, stars are being born in Orion. These stellar nurseries lie at the edge of the giant Orion molecular cloud complex, some 1,500 light-years away. This detailed view spans about 12 degrees across the center of the well-known constellation, with the Great Orion Nebula, the closest large star-forming region, visible toward the lower right. The deep mosaic also includes, near the top center, the Flame Nebula and the Horsehead Nebula. Image data acquired with a hydrogen-alpha filter adds other remarkable features to this wide-angle cosmic vista: pervasive tendrils of energized atomic hydrogen gas and portions of the surrounding Barnard's Loop. While the Orion Nebula and many stars in Orion are easy to see with the unaided eye, emission from the extensive interstellar gas is faint and much harder to record, even in telescopic views of the nebula-rich complex.

Antarctica Has A Gravity Hole – And Now We Know How It Grew In Strength Over 30 Million Years Ago

February 17, 2026

While a "gravity hole" in Antarctica has been on scientists’ radar for some time, its history has never been fully understood.

New research is beginning to change that, and in doing so, suggest surprising connections between gravity, geology, and the continent’s massive ice sheets.

Earth may look like a smooth “blue marble” from space, but it’s better to imagine it as a slightly gnarled orange, with an inside that’s firm in parts, but squishier in others.

Since the planet isn’t a perfect sphere and its internal density varies across the globe, gravitational pull changes from place to place. Where there’s less mass in the underlying geology, gravity is weaker, and vice versa.

These dips in the gravitational field are formally known as gravity anomalies, but they're more commonly called “gravity holes".

The largest is found in the middle of the Indian Ocean, spanning over 3 million square kilometers (roughly 1,100,000 square miles), while the strongest is found in Antarctica.

In a new study, two geophysicists have mapped the South Pole gravity hole with the hopes of revealing how it developed over millions of years.

To achieve this, the pair combined global earthquake recordings with physics-based modeling to create 3D maps of Earth’s mantle density.

The results closely matched the “gold-standard” gravitational measurements collected by satellites, confirming the accuracy of the models.

“Imagine doing a CT scan of the whole Earth, but we don’t have X-rays like we do in a medical office. We have earthquakes.

Earthquake waves provide the ‘light’ that illuminates the interior of the planet,” Alessandro Forte, a professor of geophysics at the University of Florida and co-author of the new study, said in a statement.

The maps showed that the Antarctic gravity hole has been there for at least 70 million years, back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. However, it hasn’t remained constant.

The gravity anomaly started to gain strength between 50 and 30 million years ago, a time that loosely lines up with the period when Antarctica became covered in glaciers and entered its deep freeze.

The permanent glaciation of Antarctica began around 34 million years ago. Amid declining carbon dioxide levels, the planet’s temperature dropped.

Meanwhile, the shifting of tectonic plates created a large ocean current that flows clockwise from west to east around the continent, severing it from warm waters.

It appears that gravity, geology, and Antarctica’s glaciers are all deeply interconnected. The researchers speculate that changes in sea level, caused by slow movements deep inside the Earth beneath Antarctica, may have affected the conditions needed for ice sheets to start forming.

These sea-level changes happen because of shifts in the Earth's gravity field and movements of the land surface, both driven by processes in the mantle.

“If we can better understand how Earth’s interior shapes gravity and sea levels, we gain insight into factors that may matter for the growth and stability of large ice sheets,” added Forte.

“How does our climate connect to what’s going on inside our planet?” he asked.

It’s important to note, however, that this is a very different issue from modern climate change driven by fossil fuels. These processes that shaped Antarctica unfolded over millions of years, far slower than the rapid warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions today.

Still, understanding all of this could help scientists piece together the long-term history of Earth’s climate and provide glimpses into its future.

[Vermont is pathetic. Not only does the government give money directly to the media platforms that are supposed to report on the state government and keep them honest, but the amount of the bribes is pathetically low.]

Roper: VT politicians funneling taxpayer dollars to the media that covers them is bad

Feb 17 2026

Sixteen Vermont media outlets got money from the government (and a matching amount from the Vermont Community Foundation): The Montpelier Bridge ($10,000), Vermont Independent (not anymore!) Media including The Commons and Deerfield Valley News ($10,000), Waterbury Roundabout ($10,000), White River Valley Herald ($10,000), Addison County (not anymore!) Independent ($5000), Barton Chronicle ($5000), Caledonian-Record ($5000), Chester Telegraph ($5000), Hardwick Gazette ($5000), Hinesburg Record ($5000), Journal-Opinion ($5000), Northstar Monthly ($5000), Valley News ($5000), Valley Reporter ($5000), Vermont Community Newspaper Group ($5000), and Radio Vermont Group ($5000).

And that last one was a gut punch that proves the point I’m making here.

As any reader of Behind the Lines who gets to the bottom of these articles knows, I host the Tuesday edition of Radio Vermont Group’s Vermont Viewpoint on WDEV. And I’ve got to confess, seeing that $5000 number next to my employer’s name gave me a very uncomfortable pause before calling out this terrible, awful, no-good program. Terrible, awful and no good precisely because of that pause it produced.

—

If this miniscule amount of money gave me in my situation a queasy hesitation, how is it going to impact a reporter or editor whose full-time job – and financial security — is linked to one of these outlets? Are they going to be less likely to criticize the voting record of Senator Perchlik, or the policy initiatives of Secretary Copeland Hanzas? I don’t think it’s a coincidence that of the sixteen checks handed out, five went to outlets based in Perchlik’s Washington County Senate District: The Bridge (Montpelier), Waterbury Roundabout (Waterbury), Valley Reporter (Waitsfield), Vermont Community Newspaper Group (Stowe), and, sigh, Radio Vermont Group (Waterbury). And two more are neighbors that distribute to towns in his district: White River Valley Herald, and Hardwick Gazette. All tallied, that’s $45,000 of the $100,000 given out to what we can all start referring to now as “Perchlik’s Papers” — in an election year, coincidentally!

And, worth noting, Secretary Copeland Hanzas’ Bradford hometown paper, the Journal-Opinion, got $5k, her office overseeing the grant process, which, also worth noting, is not at all transparent. The awards were determined by an “independent panel” kept anonymous to ensure politics didn’t creep into the selection process. Uh huh…. Sounds kind of like the opposite of that; covering up the politics that did go into it. All we know about the panel is that it was convened by Paul Heintz, former editor at VT Digger and former PR flack for U.S. Senator (then Representative) Peter Welch. So, we can all be sure the process was legit. (Eyeroll.)

Anyhow…. It’s true that there is a dearth of traditional reporting on state and local news, and one can question whether or not $5000 and $10,000 bribes out of the state treasury could make it any more biased toward Left wing politicians and their policies than it already is. But the answer to this problem is not politicians tossing sacks of money to the people who are supposed to be holding those same politicians accountable. No reporting is better than Pravda-VT dispensing state sanctioned propaganda on behalf of the people writing them checks. Perchlik and Copeland Hanzas have done more harm than good. We may have too little reporting taking place, but they just severely undermined the credibility of what’s left.

Comets a go-go

Comet spins backward near sun, leaving scientists baffled

February 17, 2026, at 5:01 pm

Comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák surprised astronomers by doing something few small solar system bodies have been observed to do: it essentially stopped spinning and then began rotating in the opposite direction.

The dramatic twist in its behavior was tracked by multiple space telescopes and has opened fresh questions about how comet activity—jets of vapor and dust driven by sunlight—can alter an object’s rotation so dramatically.

Scientists pieced together the event from observations taken during and after the comet’s 2017 close approach to the Sun.

What began as a gradual slowdown accelerated into a near-complete halt and then a reversal, a sequence that challenges expectations about rotational changes in these icy relics of the early solar system.

What telescopes revealed about 41P’s unusual spin

NASA’s Swift spacecraft first flagged oddities in the comet’s rotation, and follow-up imaging by the Hubble Space Telescope provided the detail needed to measure how much and how fast the motion changed.

Researchers tracked the comet’s rotation through light variations and direct imaging of the active nucleus.

Early 2017: Observations recorded a spin period on the order of tens of hours.

March–May 2017: The rotation slowed dramatically, increasing from roughly 20 hours to about 46 hours.

By December 2017: Data indicated the nucleus was rotating again but in the opposite direction, with a period near 14 hours.

UCLA astronomer David Jewitt and colleagues analyzed Hubble’s images to reconstruct the sequence.

The reversal wasn’t a small wobble—it was a large-scale change in angular momentum that required significant torque on the nucleus.

How comet jets can act like rocket thrusters

Comets are mixtures of rock, dust and volatile ices. When they approach the Sun, heat causes surface ices to sublimate and escape as gas, sometimes carrying dust with them.

Those escaping materials can produce localized jets that push back on the nucleus.

Mechanics behind rotation changes

Asymmetric outgassing produces uneven forces on the nucleus.

If jets are concentrated in particular regions, they can apply sustained torque over weeks or months.

Small nuclei are especially susceptible because less mass makes it easier to change spin rate or axis.

Jets don’t need to be continuous or uniform—sporadic bursts from freshly exposed ice or seasonal illumination can produce the cumulative effect needed to first slow a rotation, then halt it, and finally reverse direction.

Most cometary spin variations are measured in minutes or hours; 41P’s change by tens of hours is exceptional.

Why the 41P flip matters for comet science and population studies

Large rotational jumps like 41P’s offer a rare window into the interplay between comet structure, activity, and longevity. Astronomers suspect such processes could influence how comets evolve or break apart.

Spin-up from jets may fragment weak nuclei, creating more small comet fragments than expected. Conversely, spin-down episodes could temporarily stabilize an object, altering patterns of surface erosion.

Understanding these dynamics helps refine models for comet lifetimes and for predicting when a comet might shed material or break up entirely.

One emerging idea is that many small comets observed today might be the products of prior objects that were spun to pieces by their own outgassing. If true, rotational dynamics become a key factor in the lifecycle of cometary bodies.

What astronomers will be watching in coming years

41P will return to the inner solar system in 2028, offering another opportunity to monitor its rotation and activity with improved instruments and broader surveys.

Facilities coming online—most notably the Vera C. Rubin Observatory—will provide continuous, deep sky monitoring capable of catching rotational shifts and fragmentation events across many comets.

Planned follow-ups will combine space telescopes and ground-based networks to measure nucleus rotation and jet behavior.

Large sky surveys will help build a statistical picture: how common are extreme spin changes, and how often do they lead to breakup?

Detailed studies of 41P and similar objects can help calibrate models of torques from asymmetric outgassing.

Keeping an eye on returning comets will let astronomers observe whether 41P repeats its dramatic behavior, settles into a new rotational state, or shows signs of progressive weakening or fragmentation.

Continuous monitoring also increases the chance of catching other comets in the act of spinning up or down, which is essential for understanding how these small worlds die—or transform—under the Sun’s influence.

mRNA “vaccines” aren’t actual vaccines but “gene therapy”. Genes = DNA. So calling anything mRNA a vaccine is fake.

recent interview with molecular biologist Judy Mikovits, Ph.D. While the Moderna and Pfizer mRNA shots are labeled as “vaccines,” and news agencies and health policy leaders call them that, the actual patents for Pfizer’s and Moderna’s injections more truthfully describe them as “gene therapy,” not vaccines.

Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal: Countdown Begins

February 17, 2026 7:18PM

The countdown for the Artemis II wet dress rehearsal is underway at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The countdown clock began at 6:50 p.m. EST Tuesday, or L-49 hours, 40 minutes before the opening of a simulated launch window at 8:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 19. The test is expected to go until approximately 12:30 a.m., Friday, Feb. 20.

The test will run the launch team, as well as supporting teams in the Mission Control Center at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston and other supporting NASA centers, through a full range of operations, including loading cryogenic liquid propellant into the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket’s tanks, conducting a launch countdown, demonstrating the ability to recycle the countdown clock, and draining the tanks to practice scrub procedures.

These steps ensure the team is fully prepared for launch day.

In parallel, teams are preparing to install temporary platforms onto the mobile launcher after a successful wet dress rehearsal and are staging associated equipment near the launch pad.

The platforms will allow technicians to service flight termination system elements in the upper left and right segments of the solid rocket boosters and core stage intertank for required testing of the system to meet Eastern Range safety requirements ahead of a potential March launch opportunity.

A 24/7 live stream of the rocket at the pad continues online. NASA will provide separate feed capturing tanking activities, and NASA will provide real-time blog post updates regarding the test during the fueling day.

Countdown Milestones

The countdown contains “L minus” and “T minus” times. “L minus” indicates how far away we are from liftoff in hours and minutes. “T minus” time is a sequence of events that are built into the countdown.

Pauses in the countdown, or “holds,” are built into the countdown to allow the launch team to target a precise launch window, and to provide a cushion of time for certain tasks and procedures without impacting the overall schedule.

During planned holds in the countdown process, the countdown clock is intentionally stopped and the T- time also stops. The L- time, however, continues to advance.

During the rehearsal, the team will execute a detailed countdown sequence. They will pause at T-1 minute and 30 seconds for up to three minutes, then resume until T-33 seconds before launch and pause again.

After that, they will recycle the clock back to T-10 minutes and conduct a second terminal countdown to approximately T-33 seconds before ending the sequence.

This process simulates real-world conditions, including scenarios where a launch might be scrubbed due to technical or weather issues. At the end of the test, the team will drain the propellant and review all data before setting an official target launch date.

While the Artemis II crew members are not participating in the wet dress rehearsal, crew milestones occurring during launch day will be incorporated into the test timeline and the Artemis closeout crew will practice their closeout operations, which include closing the Orion crew module and launch abort system hatches.

Below are some of the key events that take place at each milestone after the countdown

begins. All times are approximate for when these milestones are expected to occur.

A Second Cyclone Slams Madagascar

February 18, 2026

Widespread flooding affected tens of thousands of people after cyclones Fytia and Gezani drenched the island.

For the second time in two weeks, a powerful tropical cyclone struck Madagascar.

On January 31, Fytia battered the remote northwestern coast of the island with destructive winds and torrential rains that displaced thousands of people.

Less than two weeks later, Gezani made a direct hit on one of the island's largest cities before sweeping past areas that Fytia had just flooded.

The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image of Gezani as it neared Madagascar on February 10, 2026.

At the time, the storm was undergoing rapid intensification. Its sustained winds peaked at 200 kilometers (125 miles) per hour before making landfall at Category 3 hurricane strength.

According to meteorologists with the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the storm developed amid conditions "highly favorable" to strengthening, including sea surface temperatures above 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit), wind shear below 20 kilometers (12 miles) per hour, and an unusually moist atmosphere.

As the storm passed near Toamasina, Madagascar's second-largest city, satellites that contribute to NASA's IMERG (Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for GPM) product measured rain rates up to 4 centimeters (1.6 inches) per hour.

The deluge caused widespread flooding in Toamasina and several other parts of the island.

Preliminary damage assessments from Madagascar's National Office for Risk and Disaster Management linked the storm to dozens of deaths, hundreds of injuries, and damage to more than 27,000 homes.

Reports from news outlets and humanitarian groups described chaotic conditions in Toamasina, with widespread power outages, numerous collapsed roofs, and a lack of clean water.

The OLI (Operational Land Imager) on Landsat 8 captured this false-color image of severe flooding near Brickaville, just south of Toamasina, on February 14, 2026 (right). For comparison, the left image shows the same area before the storm.

Villages and farmland along the Rongaronga River appear particularly hard hit. Crops commonly grown in this area include rice, vanilla, lychees, black pepper, cloves, and cinnamon, according to researchers from the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development.

Madagascar is one of the most cyclone-prone countries in Africa, with about six storms typically affecting the island each year and two making direct landfall.

The cyclone season generally runs from November through April, with peak activity between January and March.

AI Overview (Gemini):

Several U.S. states, including California, Illinois, New York, [Wisconsin] and Colorado, have joined the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) in early 2026. This move follows the federal government's withdrawal from the WHO, allowing states to access critical, real-time international data on infectious diseases and ensure scientific, evidence-based public health preparedness.

California: As of January 2026, California became the first state to join the WHO network to maintain access to global intelligence.

Illinois & New York: Both states, along with New York City, joined in February 2026 to ensure their health departments can monitor global outbreaks and receive early warnings.

Colorado: Governor Jared Polis announced in February 2026 that Colorado is pursuing membership to directly engage with the WHO for, according to a statement.

Wisconsin: Governor Tony Evers announced on February 17, 2026, that Wisconsin will join this growing coalition of states.

Expedition 74 Expands to Seven as Science Speeds Up

February 17, 2026 11:55AM

The seven-member Expedition 74 crew is in its first full week together aboard the International Space Station following Saturday’s arrival of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission.

The orbital septet is resuming its full complement of advanced space science and lab maintenance as the Crew-12 quartet familiarizes itself with station operations.

Crew-12 members Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway of NASA, Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency), and Andrey Fedyaev of Roscosmos began their mission with a launch aboard a SpaceX Dragon on Friday, Feb. 13, and docked to the orbital outpost a day-and-a-half later.

After a standard safety review, the commercial crew foursome spent the weekend and worked into Monday unpacking science and cargo from Dragon and getting used to life in weightlessness.

The new crew members are also beginning their advanced research duties to benefit humans living on and off the Earth.

Meir, on her second spaceflight, swapped a camera inside the Destiny laboratory module‘s Microgravity Science Glovebox to explore ways to control a spacecraft’s fuel tank pressure due to cryogenic fuel propellants evaporating.

First-time space flyer Hathaway readied gear that will measure how a crew member’s body temperature adapts to microgravity then reviewed operations with the Kibo laboratory module’s Life Science Glovebox with assistance from NASA Flight Engineer Chris Williams.

Adenot, France’s second female astronaut to fly in space, swapped out computer hardware supporting research into manufacturing medicine in space then exercised for research as advanced video gear monitored her musculoskeletal system during her microgravity workout.

Fedyaev, who last rode to space in March of 2023 aboard a Dragon to join Expedition 69, began exploring how his sense of balance, orientation, and cognition, as well as his breathing, are affected by living in weightlessness.

Williams, who has been aboard the station since November with Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev, began the week helping Crew-12 get used to station hardware, systems, and procedures.

On Tuesday, he continued helping the new crew unpack Dragon then investigated using ultraviolet light as a method to disinfect spacecraft inhibiting microbial growth to protect crew health and space equipment.

Station Commander Kud-Sverchkov and Flight Engineer Mikaev uninstalled hardware and wrapped up a session of automated Earth photography taken in a variety of wavelengths as the crew slept.

Kud-Sverchkov then worked on orbital plumbing and life support maintenance tasks inside the Nauka science module.

Mikaev located and inventoried a variety of Roscosmos station hardware then explored using artificial intelligence-assisted tools to boost crew efficiency aboard the orbital outpost.

JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇺🇸 Russia offers the US $12 trillion in deals in exchange for lifting sanctions, The Economist reports.

https://x.com/BRICSinfo/status/2024153699145199771

As of February 2026, reports indicate Russia has proposed a "Dmitriev package" worth roughly $12 trillion in economic cooperation, including potential investments in oil, gas, and critical minerals, to the U.S. in exchange for sanctions relief and influence over Ukraine conflict negotiations. The proposal aims to bypass typical diplomatic channels.

The Washington Post

The Proposal: Known as the "Dmitriev package," this plan, allegedly presented by Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev to American officials, involves massive joint investments in sectors like energy and critical minerals.

Purpose: The initiative is seen as an attempt by Russia to leverage economic opportunities to influence U.S. policy regarding the war in Ukraine, aiming to secure control over occupied territories.

Reactions: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed concern, noting that such agreements could be made without Ukraine's involvement and emphasized that any deal must include them.

Context: These negotiations are happening amid ongoing, separate talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

Analysts have raised questions about the feasibility and the true nature of this offer, with some suggesting it is a strategic maneuver.

NASA Advances High-Altitude Traffic Management

Feb 17, 2026

High-altitude flight is getting increasing attention from sectors ranging from telecommunications to emergency response.

To make that airspace more accessible, NASA is developing an air traffic management system covering those altitudes and supplementing its work with real-time data from a research balloon in Earth’s stratosphere.

Aircraft at high altitudes – 50,000 feet or higher, or roughly 10,000 to 20,000 feet above most commercial traffic – offer new possibilities for delivering internet connectivity in regions in need of reliable service.

And they can deliver unprecedented situational awareness for the ground below, providing early warnings for floods and other disasters.

For these types of operations, “station-keeping,” or remaining in the same region for extended periods of time, can be ideal for aircraft including balloons and airships.

These flights will require a different sort of air traffic management system from the ones that cover most commercial flights – and it needs to be dependable.

That’s why NASA is working to produce a system that ensures aircraft can operate safely in high-altitude airspace, with a particular focus on station-keeping.

“Current high-altitude air traffic management is manual and piecemeal,” said Jeff Homola, researcher at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley.

“We saw the need for a scalable solution – something multiple operators in a shared airspace can safely rely on.

Our system provides shared awareness of the airspace, identifies potential conflicts, enables cooperative conflict resolution, and allows operators to complete missions safely.”

NASA’s expertise and technology, and the agency’s knowledge of the needs of the aviation industry, put it in an ideal position to perform the work.

And NASA researchers are collaborating with the companies Aerostar and Sceye, developers and operators of high-altitude aircraft, to evaluate the system.

“We’re leveraging decades of NASA’s air traffic management expertise to make this possible,” Homola said.

This NASA system enables operators to share live flight data, information about their flight plans, and potential conflict alerts. Based on this information, operators can coordinate flight plans in real time.

During a 2025 simulation at NASA Ames, researchers tested how efficiently that data sharing would be among operators of lighter-than-air vehicles – both balloons and airships.

For this test, NASA, Aerostar, Sceye acted as operators of high-altitude vehicles, sharing information from facilities in California, South Dakota, and New Mexico.

They were able to share flight information, as well as telemetry data from an Aerostar stratospheric balloon floating 66,500 feet above Sioux Falls, South Dakota, at the time of the testing.

The simulation built on earlier tests, adding improved flight-intent visualization, conflict detection, and, for the first time, live flight data from the balloon.

NASA researchers also studied how operators make decision when planned aircraft trajectories overlap, which will help refine essential rules and guidelines for safer high-altitude airspace operations.

For decades, NASA has biggest air traffic management challenges facing the National Airspace System.

NASA innovations have helped cut fuel consumption, prevent accidents, enable precision navigation, and lay the groundwork for today’s modern air traffic management systems.

This specific work builds on the initiatives focused on drone operations.

NASA will share results and lessons learned from the simulation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to inform its approach to ensuring that higher airspace operations are accessible, safe, and scalable.

The agency will continue advancing the high-altitude traffic management system through continued collaboration with industry partners and the FAA.

NASA’s goal is to create a framework that opens the door to new commercial, scientific, and humanitarian missions.

MMR and MMRV Vaccines Linked to 2,657% More U.S. Deaths Than Measles Infection Since 1995

New study finds alarming number of deaths among infants and toddlers shortly after MMR/MMRV vaccination in VAERS—often involving SIDS, seizures, and cardiac arrest.

Feb 18, 2026

For decades, Americans have been told that measles represents a grave and ongoing threat — and that MMR vaccination is one of the safest and most effective interventions in modern medicine. Pharma-captured mass media and public health agencies have centered almost exclusively on the minimal dangers of measles infection and ignored grieving parents whose children were injured or even killed by the shots. No proper attention has been paid to signals emerging within the federal government’s own vaccine safety database.

NASA’s Hubble Identifies One of Darkest Known Galaxies

Feb 18, 2026

In the vast tapestry of the universe, most galaxies shine brightly across cosmic time and space. Yet a rare class of galaxies remains nearly invisible — low-surface-brightness galaxies dominated by dark matter and containing only a sparse scattering of faint stars.

One such elusive object, dubbed CDG-2, may be among the most heavily dark matter-dominated galaxies ever discovered. (Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that does not reflect, emit, or absorb light.)

The science paper detailing this finding was published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Detecting such faint galaxies is extraordinarily difficult.

Using advanced statistical techniques, David Li of the University of Toronto, Canada, and his team identified 10 previously confirmed low-surface-brightness galaxies and two additional dark galaxy candidates by searching for tight groupings of globular clusters — compact, spherical star groups typically found orbiting normal galaxies.

These clusters can signal the presence of a faint, hidden stellar population.

To confirm one of the dark galaxy candidates, astronomers employed a trio of observatories: NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, ESA’s (European Space Agency) Euclid space observatory, and the ground-based Subaru Telescope in Hawaii.

Hubble’s high-resolution imaging revealed a close collection of four globular clusters in the Perseus galaxy cluster, 300 million light-years away.

Follow-up studies using Hubble, Euclid, and Subaru data then revealed a faint, diffuse glow surrounding the star clusters — strong evidence of an underlying galaxy.

“This is the first galaxy detected solely through its globular cluster population,” said Li. “Under conservative assumptions, the four clusters represent the entire globular cluster population of CDG-2.”

Preliminary analysis suggests CDG-2 has the luminosity of roughly 6 million Sun-like stars, with the globular clusters accounting for 16% of its visible content. Remarkably, 99% of its mass, which includes both visible matter and dark matter, appears to be dark matter.

Much of its normal matter to enable star formation — primarily hydrogen gas — was likely stripped away by gravitational interactions with other galaxies inside the Perseus cluster.

Globular clusters possess immense stellar density and are gravitationally tightly bound. This makes the clusters more resistant to gravitational tidal disruption, and therefore reliable tracers of such ghostly galaxies.

As sky surveys expand with missions like Euclid, NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, astronomers are increasingly turning to machine learning and statistical methods to sift through vast datasets.

UAH RSESC researcher receives NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for advances in nuclear fuel

FEB 17, 2026

The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, announced that Dr. Arne Croell, a researcher with the UAH Rotorcraft Systems Engineering and Simulation Center (RSESC), has been awarded NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal (ESAM), one of the agency’s most prestigious honors for scientific accomplishment. Dr. Croell received the medal during a ceremony at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) on January 28.

Established in 1961, the ESAM is presented to both government and non-government individuals for “an unusually significant scientific contribution toward the achievement of NASA’s aeronautical or space exploration mission.”

The award recognizes accomplishments that are fundamentally important to a scientific field or that enhance understanding within that field.

“Dr. Croell’s recognition by NASA underscores the world-class research conducted at UAH, the Rotorcraft Systems Engineering and Simulation Center and the strength of our longstanding partnership with Marshall Space Flight Center,” says Jerry Hendrix, director of the RSESC.

“His work exemplifies his great team and innovative spirit, as well as the scientific excellence that defines UAH and our Center.”

The researcher joins a distinguished roster of scientists who have received the medal over the past six decades. An internationally recognized expert in crystallography, Croell specializes in crystal growth processes critical to advanced technologies.

His research focuses include detached Bridgman growth of semiconductor single crystals; nucleation and impurities in multicrystalline silicon for solar cells; radiation detection materials; thermo- and solutocapillary convection in crystal growth; vibrational convection in floating zone (FZ) and Bridgman growth; and the influence of external fields on crystal growth processes.

“I now work on materials for nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP),” the honoree explains. “The extreme environment of NTP is a fascinating challenge from a materials science perspective.

As a crystallographer, I thought I could advance the analysis of these materials here at MSFC, employing X-ray diffractometry and other techniques to investigate uranium loss mechanisms.

In NTP, the heat from a solid-state nuclear reactor is the fuel, and hydrogen is the propellant. The hydrogen is heated up to temperatures of 3000K in that reactor; it allows a specific impulse that is several times better than chemical rockets.

A nuclear engine is not for launching; the thrust is not strong enough. It is only considered for space operations, such as traveling to Mars.” 

Croell’s selection reflects decades of pioneering research in crystal growth and materials science, particularly in microgravity environments, where the researcher has served as principal investigator or co-investigator on five experiments conducted during crewed Spacelab and Spacehab missions; 11 experiments aboard unmanned Foton orbital satellites; 13 sounding rocket experiments; and three parabolic flight campaigns.

At UAH, he was recently engaged in preparing experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

“As you might imagine, NTP temperatures together with the hydrogen are attacking most materials including the uranium sources of the reactor,” the researcher notes.

“I perform experiments where we heat small samples of possible reactor materials – for example, uranium-containing mixed carbides – in hydrogen at temperatures close to 3000K in steps up to six hours.

We analyze the materials after each step with respect to mass loss, uranium loss, density, etc., trying to minimize mass and uranium losses through composition changes or small additives to the hydrogen flow.”

The process is detailed in a recent paper. Looking to the future of these kinds of advances, Croell notes his research is built on decades of foundational work.

“NTP is nothing new and was studied intensely until 1972 under Dr. von Braun, such as the Rover/NERVA program, etc., with a few starts and stops later.

Those scientists and engineers made it pretty far, and in the end started using similar materials to those we are testing now. So, to use the old expression, we are standing on the shoulders of giants.

“Modern equipment, such as those used for sintering [a process that transforms compacted powder materials (metals, ceramics or plastics) into solid, dense and durable components], and the improved analysis methods today, allow us much better insights into corrosion mechanisms, and thus devise possible mitigation approaches,” Croell concludes. “So, from a materials science perspective, I am optimistic.”

Mistrial in federal domestic terrorism case over Alvarado ICE facility attack

Dionne AnglinFORT WORTH, Texas -

A day of federal jury selection in the high-profile Alvarado ICE ambush case abruptly ended in a mistrial Tuesday.

The decision came during voir dire, the jury selection process, and was tied to what one of the defense attorneys was wearing while questioning potential jurors.

Why was the mistrial declared?

What we know:

The attorney at the center of the mistrial is Marquetta Clayton.

Sources say Clayton was wearing a T-shirt under her blazer that depicted imagery related to civil rights and a civil rights leader or leaders. During jury selection, a U.S. Attorney raised concerns about the shirt to the court.

U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman ultimately declared a mistrial. The ruling came before a jury was seated and before opening statements in the trial of nine defendants.

Earlier in the day, potential jurors were seen leaving the courthouse for a midday lunch break. They had been in court with Judge Pittman and attorneys for the nine defendants, answering questions as part of the standard jury selection process.

Prairieland ICE Detention Center ambush

The backstory:

The nine defendants are accused of participating in what federal prosecutors have called a planned ambush at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center on July 4, 2025.

Authorities allege fireworks were ignited, buildings and vehicles were damaged, and federal officers were fired upon.An Alvarado police officer responding to a 911 call was shot in the neck and survived.

Prosecutors contend the attack was orchestrated by members of what they describe as a North Texas Antifa cell andhave labeled the case the first federal indictment in the nation tied to alleged Antifa-related domestic terrorism charges.

The defendants have denied wrongdoing.Five other people arrested in connection with the incident previously accepted plea deals and are expected to testify when the trial moves forward.

Sanctions for the shirt

What we don't know:

The civil rights messaging displayed on the shirt is still waiting to be confirmed.

It is not yet clear whether the attorney will face any sanctions from the court.

Public support for defendants

Local perspective:

Supporters of the defendants dispute that characterization, insisting the gathering was a protestand that not everyone present participated in violence.

Savanna Batten, one of the defendants, has drawn public support from family members and demonstrators gathered across the street from the courthouse.

Her sister, Lowrey, spoke out Tuesday.

"My sister went to this protest, wearing her little fanny pack with a first aid kit and carrying a pair of moroccas, so how she ended up being accused of attempting to murder police or ICE agents or whatever, it doesn’t make any sense," Lowrey said.

Impact of the courtroom incident

What's next:

Judge Pittman declared the mistrial during jury selection due to the complaint about the defense attorney’s attire.

The entire pool of potential jurors has been dismissed and will be replaced. The jury selection process will now have to begin again at a later date.

No new date has been announced.

The reset further delays a highly anticipated federal case in North Texas.

NASA’s next great space telescope is getting ready for launch

Feb 18 2026 - 7:29 am PT

As NASA moves deeper into a new era of space-based astronomy, another flagship observatory is quietly approaching the launch pad.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, designed to survey the universe at a scale no previous space telescope has achieved, has completed assembly and is undergoing final environmental testing ahead of being shipped to Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a planned liftoff as soon as late 2026.

The Roman Space Telescope is positioned as NASA’s next major astrophysics observatory after the Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope.

It began as the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope, a mission prioritized in the 2010 Decadal Survey as a top recommendation for advancing cosmology and exoplanet science.

Ten years later, the mission was renamed in honor of Nancy Grace Roman, NASA’s first chief of astronomy, who played a foundational role in establishing the agency’s space-based observatory program, which ultimately led to Hubble’s launch in 1990.

Unlike Webb, which specializes in ultra-deep infrared observations of targeted regions, Roman is designed for wide-field survey science.

Its 2.4-meter primary mirror – comparable in size to Hubble’s – feeds the Wide Field Instrument, which is capable of capturing images with an angular resolution comparable to Hubble’s across a field of view roughly 100 times larger.

That scale would allow Roman to observe vast portions of the sky with statistical power that previous space telescopes simply could not achieve.

One of Roman’s primary science goals is to investigate the nature of dark energy, the poorly understood phenomenon driving the accelerated expansion of the universe.

The telescope is expected to conduct high-precision measurements of weak gravitational lensing – tiny distortions in the apparent shapes of distant galaxies caused by intervening dark matter – as well as map large-scale galaxy clustering across cosmic time.

Together, those datasets are expected to provide new constraints on cosmological models and the growth of structure in the universe.

Roman will also conduct an extensive exoplanet microlensing survey toward the galactic bulge. Gravitational microlensing occurs when a foreground star briefly magnifies the light of a background star, revealing the presence of orbiting planets.

This method is particularly sensitive to planets in wider orbits, including cold, Earth-mass planets, and even free-floating planets not bound to any star.

NASA projects that the telescope could detect thousands of new exoplanets using this technique, filling in population gaps not accessible to transit surveys like Kepler or TESS.

In addition, Roman carries a technology-demonstration coronagraph instrument designed to suppress starlight and directly image faint circumstellar environments.

While not a primary science driver, the coronagraph is widely viewed as an important step toward future missions aimed at directly imaging Earth-like planets in habitable zones.

NASA has contracted SpaceX to launch Roman aboard a Falcon Heavy rocket. Liftoff is currently targeted for late 2026, with a window extending into early 2027.

Once in space, Roman will travel to the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point, approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. This is the same semi-stable gravitational region where the James Webb Space Telescope operates.

If schedules hold, Roman could soon begin delivering large-scale survey data that complements Webb’s deep, targeted observations.

Rather than replacing existing observatories, Roman is structured to expand the field, generating wide statistical datasets that could reshape cosmology and exoplanet demographics over the coming decades.

Nuclear Fail-Safe, and Space Security and Stability—Explained

Feb 18, 2026

NTI joined world leaders and policymakers at the 2026 Munich Security Conference to issue two new statements on reducing nuclear risks on earth and in space, and to host a side event on managing those risks in today’s global void of nuclear uncertainty.

Big thing at Munich: Two statements by the Euro-Atlantic Security Leadership Group (EASLG) during the Munich Security Conference, “Support for Space Security and Stability,” and “Support for Preventing the Accidental, Mistaken, or Unauthorized Use of a Nuclear Weapon: Nuclear ‘Fail-Safe.’”

Former officials, military leaders, and experts from Europe and the Asia-Pacific underline that “Every nation with nuclear arms bears responsibility for reducing the risk of unintended, mistaken, or unauthorized nuclear use,” and that “Without practical steps to prevent conflict in space, the danger of nuclear catastrophe—by design or by blunder—grows significantly.”

The big picture:  New START, the last remaining arms control treaty numerically limiting U.S. and Russian nuclear forces, expired on February 5th.

The erosion of arms control, disruptive new technologies, and heightened geopolitical tensions—including allegations of plans to place nuclear weapons in space—increases the danger that a nuclear weapon will be used.

Why it matters: Strengthening nuclear fail-safe measures and applying and adapting principles governing the use of outer space for peaceful purposes are essential to preventing nuclear use and maintaining strategic stability.

All for nuclear fail-safe: Seventy-five signatories representing 21 countries from the Euro-Atlantic and Asia-Pacific regions agree that all nuclear-armed countries must strengthen safeguards to prevent unauthorized, inadvertent, or mistaken use of a nuclear weapon.

The signatories call on China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States (the five nuclear-weapons states under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)) to make a Joint Statement in support of nuclear fail-safe during the upcoming NPT Review Conference in April-May 2026.

Space, the essential frontier: Fifty-two signatories representing 14 countries call on leaders of nuclear-armed nations and other states parties to the Outer Space Treaty to apply and adapt seven historic principles governing the use of outer space for peaceful purposes, and support an inclusive dialogue on space security and stability to reduce the risks of conflict in space.

Connecting the dots: Nuclear weapons in space would increase the risk of unintended, mistaken, or unauthorized nuclear use and put increasing pressure on nuclear fail-safe measures designed to reduce nuclear risks.

Zoom in: The incorporation of artificial intelligence into attack warning systems, threat assessments, and decision-making processes could exacerbate the risk of nuclear use. Additionally, adversaries, including non-state actors, now possess the capability to launch cyberattacks that could disrupt nuclear command and control and early-warning systems.

Zoom out: Now with more than 10,000 active satellites from more than 100 nations and multi-lateral organizations in orbit, including for critical defense and national security interests, safeguarding the space environment has become one of the principal challenges of the 21st century.

The bottom line: On earth and in space, the world cannot afford to wait for more peaceful times to reduce the risks of nuclear use.

Pharma-Funded Research Pushes Surveillance and Regulatory Crackdown on Vaccine Critics

Paid by Pfizer to lie and control.

NATALIE WINTERS

FEB 18, 2026

A newly publishedpaper urging expanded surveillance of online speech and stricter regulatory measures to combat vaccine “misinformation” wasauthored by researcherswith financial ties to major pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Pfizer.==

The paper, which focuses ondeclining vaccination rates and hesitancy in Brazil, outlines what it calls “necessary investments” to restore public confidence.

Those measures go well beyond public education campaigns.

They include:

“(1)implementing epidemiological surveillance through social listening;

(2)establishing a transparent, efficient, and agile communication strategy from public health authorities; and

(3)enforcing stringent regulations and accountability measures for online disinformation.”

The language is precise.

“Epidemiologicalsurveillancethrough social listening”refers to the systematic monitoring of online platforms to track public conversations, sentiment, and narratives in real time.

The paper places thatmonitoring framework within formal public health infrastructure.

In other words, vaccine-related speech would be treated as something to track, map, and manage.

Thethirdrecommendation is even more direct: “enforcingstringent regulations and accountability measures for online disinformation.”

The paperdoes not define what specific regulatory mechanisms would be deployed, nor does itoutline who would ultimately determine what constitutes “disinformation.” It simply calls forenforcement.

The financial disclosures add context.

According to the paper:

“Rodrigo Schrage Lins has received speaker honoraria from GSK and Sanofi. Isabella Ballalai has received speaker and consultant honoraria from GSK, Takeda, Sanofi, MSD, and Pfizer.”

Pfizer, GSK, Sanofi, Takeda, and MSD areamong the largest vaccine manufacturers in the world, with significant commercial stakes in national immunization programs.

The same researchers who have received compensation from those companies arenow advocating for surveillance systems and regulatory controls targeting vaccine-related speech

The paper presentsBrazilas a case study, but the policy framework it describes —monitor digital discourse, centralize official messaging, and impose regulatory consequences for “disinformation” — is not geographically limited.

The conflicts of interest are disclosed.

The recommendations are explicit.

And the proposed response tovaccine hesitancy centers on surveillance infrastructure and regulatory enforcement— not simply debate or persuasion.

That combination is central to understanding both the paper and the interests behind it.

Revealed: 10 new insights in climate science

18/02/2026

Each year, the world’s leading climate scientists evaluate the most critical evidence on how our planet is changing.

Their assessments draw heavily on data from Earth-observing satellites – and the latest report delivers a stark warning: the planet’s energy balance is drifting further out of alignment, ocean warming is now accelerating, and the land’s capacity to absorb carbon is declining, along with other troubling trends.

Global climate indicators show growing cause for alarm. The World Meteorological Organization confirmed that 2024 was the warmest year on record.

This warming coincided with record ocean temperatures and sea-level rise, rapid glacier loss, low Antarctic sea ice, and more frequent extreme weather.

Against this backdrop of intensifying change, scientists are racing not only to document what is happening, but to understand the implications and communicate them to decision-makers.

Each year, Future Earth, the Earth League and the World Climate Research Programme bring together leading researchers from around the world to assess the most urgent advances in climate research.

Their mission is to curate and synthesise key messages across diverse fields of climate-change research, based on the latest relevant peer-reviewed literature to produce 10 New Insights in Climate Science.

The 2025 edition, released as both an academic paper and a science–policy report, draws on research published between January 2024 and June 2025.

This new easy-to-read guide reflects the collective effort of more than 70 researchers, incorporating input from over 150 experts worldwide – distilling the latest findings into clear, policy-relevant insights designed to support the timely uptake of new scientific evidence in decision-making through 2026 and beyond.

Sophie Hebden, ESA Climate Applications Scientist, said, “These findings are based on robust empirical data published in leading scientific journals, including data generated through ESA’s Climate Change Initiative – a major research and development programme that produces long-term global satellite data records to monitor key components of Earth’s climate system, known as Essential Climate Variables.

“Through the initiative, we transform satellite observations into high-quality data products to assess the state of the climate and know where we currently stand, to validate and improve climate models so we know where we’re heading, and to support ESA Member States with transparent information to help track progress in climate action and Paris Agreement reporting.

“Satellite datasets are a major source of information for climate scientists from around the world, with authoritative scientific assessments published periodically by the UNFCCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and annually in the 10 New Insights in Climate Science report.”

In brief, the new insights are as follows:

1. Record-breaking warmth in 2023–2024 raises new questions

Although the shift to El Niño conditions amplified recent temperature extremes, natural variability alone cannot explain the scale of the anomalies. A sharp rise in Earth’s energy imbalance suggests that global warming may be accelerating.

In this context, the MOTECUSOMA project from ESA’s Climate Change Initiative quantifies changes to Earth’s energy imbalance using Essential Climate Variables to examine changes in climate system processes in response to rising greenhouse gas emissions.

2. Rapid ocean warming and intensifying marine heatwaves

Sea-surface temperatures are rising at an unprecedented rate, and marine heatwaves are becoming more intense and prolonged.

These changes are causing severe ecosystem damage, undermining coastal livelihoods, increasing extreme weather risks and weakening the ocean’s capacity to absorb carbon.

3. The global land carbon sink is weakening

A significant decline in land-based carbon uptake in 2023 raises concerns that more carbon may remain in the atmosphere, shrinking the remaining carbon budget. Northern hemisphere ecosystems – once considered relatively resilient – are increasingly affected by wildfires and permafrost thaw.

This insight is largely based on datasets available through the Climate Change Initiative’s RECCAP-2 project which clarifies global carbon sources and sinks.

The image below shows carbon storage change in northern ecosystems relative to 2010, with a drop in biomass from 2016 onwards. This could signal more carbon release from vegetation to the atmosphere.

4. Climate change and biodiversity loss amplify one another

Growing evidence shows that climate change and biodiversity decline interact in a destabilising feedback loop, threatening ecosystem resilience and carbon storage.

Stronger coordination across the Rio Conventions could maximise synergies, avoid fragmented policies, and prioritise the protection and restoration of biodiverse ecosystems and natural carbon sinks.

Satellite observations make substantial contributions in this area by tracking ecosystem types, extent, and dynamics through various initiatives such as ESA WEED, as well as ecosystem functioning under climate change such as ESA FORTRACK and ECOMOSAIC.

The effective use of these capabilities depends on their integration with diverse complementary data sources.

5. Climate change is intensifying groundwater depletion

Groundwater is being depleted faster than in previous decades, as climate change disrupts aquifer recharge and rising socioeconomic demands increase extraction.

The consequences include heightened risks to agriculture and food security, land subsidence and seawater intrusion in coastal regions.

This insight is largely based on data from the US-German GRACE mission, with more regional supporting studies using Copernicus Sentinel-1 to obtain high-resolution subsidence information.

6. Climate change is driving the global surge in dengue

Dengue fever has surged to its largest global outbreak on record. Rising temperatures are expanding mosquito habitats and extending transmission seasons, compounding the effects of urbanisation, global travel and poor waste management.

Health systems are already under strain, and projections indicate further increases in risk this century.

The sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (whose international project office is hosted by ESA) supports work to understand the climate-related risk factors of vector-borne diseases, and predict future outbreak likelihoods.

7. Heat stress is reducing labour productivity and incomes

Climate-driven heat stress is eroding labour productivity and income, particularly in developing countries. However, the economic impacts ripple through global supply chains and trade networks.

Projected annual gross domestic product losses are substantially lower under low-emissions pathways, underscoring the economic case for more ambitious mitigation.

8. Carbon dioxide removal must scale up safely and responsibly

Carbon dioxide removal will be needed to address residual emissions and manage climate risks. However, it must complement, not replace, emission reductions.

Clear international governance frameworks, sustained research and innovation, and strong environmental and social safeguards are essential to close the growing carbon dioxide removal gap and support long-term climate stability.

9. Strengthening integrity in carbon credit markets

The rapid expansion of carbon credit markets has exposed serious integrity concerns, including overestimated sequestration and weak additionality.

Reliance on low-quality credits risks delaying real decarbonisation. Emerging improvements in standards, transparency and benchmarking, along with a shift toward framing credits as contributions rather than offsets, offer a pathway to more credible markets.

10. Policy packages outperform single measures

Integrated policy mixes consistently achieve greater emissions reductions than stand-alone interventions.

Approaches that combine measures such as carbon pricing and fossil fuel subsidy reform tend to be particularly effective, though policy design must reflect national contexts.

Coordinated cross-sector strategies and harmonised reporting can further enhance impact and shared learning.

Canada’s intelligence service brands ‘anti-feminism’ as growing ‘national security’ concern

It appears that holding ‘traditional views,’ opposing LGBT and transgender ideology, or working with a pro-life group makes your beliefs ‘abhorrent’ to Canada’s top spy agency.

SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket plume blossoms over Florida

Feb. 18, 2026

NASA has released a nebula-like view of the SpaceX/NASA Crew-12 mission launching to the International Space Station atop a reusable Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Feb. 13.

What is it?

SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets have been known to create dramatic "jellyfish" plumes of exhaust when viewed from afar, as their nine Merlin engines burn a mix of liquid oxygen and kerosene to generate the thrust needed to punch through Earth's dense atmosphere, resist the force of gravity and achieve orbit.

The image, captured by photographer John Kraus, provided a novel view looking almost directly up and into the rocket's intense exhaust plume as it was shaped and backlit by the furious labors of the Merlin engines.

Following its expulsion, the gas, vapor and soot expanded rapidly into the surrounding atmosphere, forming complex patterns reminiscent of a blooming flower, or a nebula formed in the wake of a supernova explosion in the moment the photograph was taken.

The mission

NASA's Crew-12 mission launched at 5:15 a.m. EST (1015 GMT) on Feb. 13, carrying NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway along with the European Space Agency's Sochie Adenot and Russian cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev on a journey to the ISS.

Their SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft successfully rendezvoused and docked with the orbital station on Feb. 14, marking the start of the quartet's eight-month stay in low-Earth orbit as part of Expedition 74.

The ISS had previously been operated by a skeleton crew of three — NASA's Chris Williams and cosmonauts Sergei Mikaev and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov — following the Jan. 8 medical evacuation of four Crew-11 astronauts due to an undisclosed health issue.

Pharma-Funded Research Pushes Surveillance and Regulatory Crackdown on Vaccine Critics

Paid by Pfizer to lie and control.

NATALIE WINTERS

FEB 18, 2026

CLEAN COPY

A newly published paper urging expanded surveillance of online speech and stricter regulatory measures to combat vaccine “misinformation” was authored by researchers with financial ties to major pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Pfizer.

The paper, which focuses on declining vaccination rates and hesitancy in Brazil, outlines what it calls “necessary investments” to restore public confidence. Those measures go well beyond public education campaigns.

They include:

“(1) implementing epidemiological surveillance through social listening; (2) establishing a transparent, efficient, and agile communication strategy from public health authorities; and (3) enforcing stringent regulations and accountability measures for online disinformation.”

“Epidemiological surveillance through social listening” refers to the systematic monitoring of online platforms to track public conversations, sentiment, and narratives in real time. The paper places that monitoring framework within formal public health infrastructure.

In other words, vaccine-related speech would be treated as something to track, map, and manage.

The third recommendation is even more direct: “enforcing stringent regulations and accountability measures for online disinformation.”

The paper does not define what specific regulatory mechanisms would be deployed, nor does it outline who would ultimately determine what constitutes “disinformation.” It simply calls for enforcement.

The financial disclosures add context.

According to the paper:

“Rodrigo Schrage Lins has received speaker honoraria from GSK and Sanofi. Isabella Ballalai has received speaker and consultant honoraria from GSK, Takeda, Sanofi, MSD, and Pfizer.”

Pfizer, GSK, Sanofi, Takeda, and MSD are among the largest vaccine manufacturers in the world, with significant commercial stakes in national immunization programs.

The same researchers who have received compensation from those companies are now advocating for surveillance systems and regulatory controls targeting vaccine-related speech.

The paper presents Brazil as a case study, but the policy framework it describes — monitor digital discourse, centralize official messaging, and impose regulatory consequences for “disinformation” — is not geographically limited.

The conflicts of interest are disclosed.

The recommendations are explicit.

And the proposed response to vaccine hesitancy centers on surveillance infrastructure and regulatory enforcement — not simply debate or persuasion.

That combination is central to understanding both the paper and the interests behind it.

Trump envoy reports ‘progress’ at Russia-US-Ukraine talks

18 Feb, 2026 05:33

The Russian, US and Ukrainian delegations have achieved “meaningful progress” during the third round of trilateral negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has said.

The two-day talks aimed at settling the Ukraine conflict kicked off in Switzerland on Tuesday. The parties had previously held two meetings in a similar format in Abu Dhabi in January.

Witkoff wrote on X on Wednesday that “President Trump’s success in bringing both sides of this war together has brought about meaningful progress.”

Following the first day of discussions, the Russian and Ukrainian teams “agreed to update their respective leaders and continue working towards a deal,” he said.

The envoy also thanked the Swiss authorities for being “gracious hosts.”

According to an RT source, the talks in Geneva resumed on Wednesday, with the sides negotiating in a trilateral format behind closed doors.

The head of the Ukrainian delegation, Rustem Umerov, said on Telegram that during the first day of the talks, “discussions focused on practical issues and the mechanics of possible solutions.”

According to Umerov, he also held separate meetings with representatives of the US and Kiev’s European backers: France, the UK, Germany, Italy and Switzerland.

“It is important to maintain a common vision and coordination of actions between Ukraine, the US and Europe. There is an understanding of joint responsibility for the result. Let’s work further,” he said.

There have so far been no statements from the head of the Russian team, presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky. Moscow normally declines to publicly comment on the details of sensitive negotiations, arguing that Ukraine-style ‘megaphone diplomacy’ is counterproductive.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that the members of the Russian delegation in Geneva intended “to discuss a broader range of issues, including the main questions concerning territories... and those related to the demands we have.”

Moscow maintains that any sustainable settlement of the Ukraine requires Kiev to withdraw from the areas still under its control in Donbass – which voted to join Russia in referendums in the fall of 2022 – give up on its NATO aspirations, and commit to demilitarization and denazification.

No time ‘for all this s**t’ – Zelensky on Russian position at peace talks

18 Feb, 2026 12:37

Russia’s stance that the Ukraine conflict can only be resolved if its root causes are addressed is “s**t,” Vladimir Zelensky has said.

The Ukrainian leader is increasingly using profanities in public statements and insulting those who disagree with his policies.

The latest verbal attack was quoted by Axios on Tuesday as Russian and Ukrainian delegations met in Geneva for US-facilitated talks.

Zelensky lashed out at the head of the Russian team, Vladimir Medinsky. A historian by background, Medinsky argues – along with many Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin – that the crisis’s historical roots must be considered.

“We don’t have time for all this s**t,” Zelensky told the outlet. “So we have to decide, and have to finish the war.”

Moscow has long argued that no sustainable peace is possible unless Kiev pledges neutrality and reverses discriminatory policies targeting ethnic Russians and Russian culture.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has repeatedly stated that the Ukrainian government is unique in trying to eradicate the language of one of the minorities living in the country.

Last week, Ukrainian Culture Minister Tatyana Berezhnaya said her office is drafting a law banning Russian literature and books in Russian.

Zelensky earlier blasted European nations for not expelling Russian citizens. Russians “have a lot of real estate, they have children, relatives everywhere. F**k away to Russia. Go home,” he demanded.

He has also launched multiple tirades at Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a vocal opponent of Ukraine’s EU bid.

Zelensky accused the Hungarian leader of selling out EU interests, said he should be hit on the head for it, and claimed Orban thinks “about how to grow his belly” instead of preparing Hungary for war with Russia.

In his recent Christmas address, Zelensky suggested that every Ukrainian’s greatest wish was Putin’s death – without naming the Russian leader directly.

Zelensky also claimed that the fact that he is younger than the Russian president gives Ukraine an advantage in the conflict.

Under Intensifying US Pressure To Reach Deal, Zelensky Explodes: No Time "For All This S**t"

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky has increasingly made his frustrations with the Trump administration public, but he may have just crossed the line with the US President, who Zelensky admits can be tough and unbending.

Zelensky has newly complained amid the latest Geneva trilateral talks that the US delegation could pressure him to make "unsuccessful decisions" and he is urging Washington to back off, even using expletives to make his point.

For starters, he claims that the Ukrainian public won't let him cede territory to Russia for the sake of peace even if he wanted to, as we highlighted previously.

But the latest colorful verbal broadside, cited by Axios on Tuesday as Russian and Ukrainian delegations convened in Geneva, saw Zelensky take direct aim at the head of Moscow's negotiating team, Vladimir Medinsky. Kiev's frustration at the state of dialogue has been boiling over.

Medinsky has argued - along with numerous Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin - that the conflict's historical roots must be addressed as part of any settlement, especially given the bulk of the Ukrainian population in the east (Donbas) has always been Russian speaking and looked to Moscow historically.

Zelensky dismissed that approach outright:

"We don’t have time for all this shit," he told the outlet. "So we have to decide, and have to finish the war."

The White House this month has finally appeared to be ratcheting up the pressure directly on Zelensky to make some kind of serious land concession.

This was evident in the latest comments by President Trump on the topic of Geneva issued near the start of the week. Frustration with Kiev was evident when he told reporters aboard Air Force One, "Well, we have big talks." He stated that "It’s going to be very easy. I mean, look, so far, Ukraine better come to the table fast. That’s all I’m telling you."

Zelensky after this bitterly complained that it's 'not fair' for Trump to take aim at Ukraine and not Russia, and suggested maybe it's simply easer for Trump to do this given he doesn't want to upset the far larger, more formidable country.

“Mr. Justice Chamberlain said the policy was a lawful and proportionate way for Scotland Yard to maintain and enhance public trust in policing.

[…] The attempted legal challenge came after the Met announced in December that officers and police staff would be required to declare internally if they were part of an organization that had a ‘confidential membership, hierarchical structures and requires members to support and protect each other’.”

Operation SUNRISE: Secret meeting in Ascona

In March 1945, an SS general negotiated with the Allies for the German surrender in Italy. The meeting took place in Ascona and ultimately shortened the Second World War by a few days.

On March 18 and 19, 1945, the spring festival in honor of Saint Joseph took place in the Piazza of Ascona. Despite the war, many people participated and celebrated exuberantly. At the same time, a secret meeting was taking place in this small fishing village. It is known today as "Operation Sunrise" or "Operation Crossword" and brought together high-ranking representatives of the warring powers. The group was completed by Swiss mediators. The negotiations concerned the surrender of the German forces in northern Italy.

The participants, all dressed in civilian clothes, were SS- Obergruppenführer Karl Wolff, Major General Lyman L. Lemnitzer for the USA, and British Major General Terence S. Airey. The meeting had been organized by Allen Dulles, head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in Bern—a US intelligence agency of the American War Department—along with his right-hand man, the German-American Gero von Schulze-Gaevernitz. Also present were the Italian Baron Luigi Parilli, the Swiss intelligence officer Max Waibel, and Max Husmann, founder and director of the Institut Montana on the Zugerberg. Adjutants, secretaries, translators, and bodyguards were also present. The group consisted of at least 20 people.The Russians were not among them.

Several properties in the Ascona region were used for the meeting. While the Allied representatives stayed at the Villa al Roccolo, owned by industrialist and Nazi opponent Edmund Hugo Stinnes, other participants stayed as "tourists" in various hotels. On March 18, Karl Wolff and Allen Dulles met in a small house on Via Signore in Croce in Ascona. This house also belonged to Stinnes, who had provided various rooms for the negotiations. The actual talks began on March 19 at the small Villa Margiana on the lake.

Karl Wolff, the highest-ranking SS and police leader in Italy, agreed to an unconditional surrender and made many concessions, including the release of several important partisan leaders. In return, he was to receive a verbal guarantee of acquittal in the upcoming war crimes trials.

Talks have been ongoing since autumn 1944

Initial contact between the Germans stationed in Italy and the Allies was established as early as autumn 1944. However, several setbacks delayed the negotiations. On March 8, 1945, Adolf Hitler ordered Field Marshal Albert Kesselring back to Germany to assume command of the entire Western Front. According to Wolff, the Wehrmacht's supreme commander in Italy would have been open to negotiations for a surrender. Only if both organizations, the SS and the Wehrmacht , had agreed to the surrender would its implementation have been possible. Kesselring's return was a setback for Wolff. Albert Kesselring's successor, General Heinrich Gottfried von Vietinghoff-Scheel, had to be persuaded once again. There were also delays on the American side. After the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt on April 12, 1945, Vice President Harry S. Truman took over and critically reviewed the work of the OSS in Europe. This took time. Meanwhile, the Allied troops were already approaching Bologna.

On April 29, 1945, Operation Sunrise ended in Caserta, near Naples. Lieutenant Colonel Viktor von Schweinitz, representing the Wehrmacht in Italy, and SS Major Eugen Wenner, representing the SS on the peninsula, signed the surrender of the German armed forces in Italy. This surrender took effect on May 2, 1945. This surrender came very late. Large parts of Italy had already been liberated, and its impact on the overall war was less significant than some of those involved later portrayed in their memoirs.

The Russians were not among them.

Who benefited from the negotiations?

Operation Sunrise had advantages for many of those involved. SS General Karl Wolff received remarkably lenient treatment from the justice system despite his involvement in numerous war crimes. He spent less than nine years in prison and died in 1984 in Priem am Chiemsee. SS Sturmbannführer Eugen Wenner received no punishment at all and worked for the CIA in South America after the war. The future CIA Director, Allen Dulles, certainly had a hand in this.

The negotiations with Wolff significantly boosted the OSS 's meager operational performance in Switzerland and were a strong argument for Dulles's assumption of the CIA leadership . However, Dulles's methods remained controversial even after World War II. Under his leadership, several bloody coups were carried out in Southeast Asia, as well as in Central and Latin America. These shaped American foreign policy for decades. In 1961, following the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, Allen Dulles was fired by John F. Kennedy. He died in Washington in 1969 at the age of 75.

Max Waibel was promoted to military attaché in the USA in the immediate post-war period. He subsequently rose to the rank of major general. Despite this, his life ended tragically. Waibel was implicated in the financial scandal of the Lucerne private bank Ernst Brunner & Co. , which ultimately led to its bankruptcy. As a member of the bank's board of directors, the pressure became too much for him, and he took his own life in January 1971.

The Russians were not among them.

Five Indicted in Kentucky DMV Scam Flooding Roads with Fake Licenses for Non-Citizen Immigrants

Louisville, KY – A federal grand jury in Louisville returned an Indictment on February 4, 2026, charging five Louisville residents with fraud and money laundering offenses.

U.S. Attorney Kyle G. Bumgarner of the Western District of Kentucky made the announcement.

According to the Indictment, Donnita Wilson, 32; Aariel Matthews, 27; Raul Tellez Ojeda, 32; Lazaro Alejandro Castello Rojas, 37; and Robert Danger Correa, 41; were charged with Mail Fraud (14 counts), Mail Fraud Conspiracy (one count), Honest Services Mail Fraud (14 counts), Honest Services Mail Fraud Conspiracy (one count), Unlawful Production of Identification Documents (14 Counts), and Money Laundering Conspiracy (one count).

The indictment alleges the defendants devised and executed a scheme that solicited illegal fees between $200 and $1,500 from legally present, non-U.S. citizens who were applying for driver’s licenses on the promise that they would be expedited through the process without undergoing testing requirements. In furtherance of the scheme, the indictment alleges that certain conspirators altered information in government databases to bypass important steps in the application process and, thereby, issue invalid licenses to the non-U.S. citizens. The indictment alleges the defendants perpetrated this scheme for their own financial gain, and betrayed the trust placed in them by Kentucky’s Transportation Cabinet.

United States Attorney Kyle Bumgarner stated, “This indictment represents the culmination of an investigation into a scheme by Kentucky Transportation Cabinet employees and others to illegally circumvent Kentucky’s process for issuing driver’s licenses, thereby issuing invalid licenses to lawfully present, non-U.S. citizens who had not first demonstrated their qualifications to drive on our roads. Proper vetting of individuals seeking a driver’s license is a prerequisite to ensuring the safety of Kentucky’s roadways and ensuring the legitimacy of state-issued identification. As alleged in the indictment, this fraudulent scheme involved kickbacks and bribes leading to numerous legally present, non-U.S. citizens obtaining unlawfully issued drivers licenses.”

Several defendants were arraigned on February 9, 2026, before a U.S. Magistrate Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. If convicted, the defendants face a maximum sentence of 20 years for each count of mail fraud, mail fraud conspiracy, honest services mail fraud, and money laundering. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.

There is no parole in the federal system.

Trump Mulls Social Media Ban for Minors.

President Donald J. Trump may move to restrict social media access for minors under a policy inspired by similar measures enacted in countries like Australia and France, as well as in some U.S. states such as Florida. The Trump administration is believed to be considering a range of measures aimed to shield children from potential harms associated with social media platforms—an issue that has increasingly become tied to a rising global mental health crisis.

Lara Trump, the President’s daughter-in-law, confirmed during an episode of “Pod Force One” that the Trump White House has shown interest in the effects of social media on children. “I’m not much of one for regulating things, but I would be very happy with a little bit of regulation in this space, just personally as a parent,” she said, expressing concerns over how children are affected by screen time and the chemicals triggered in their brains.

In January 2026, it was revealed that Google had emailed children turning 13 with instructions on how to remove parental controls from their Google accounts, effectively allowing them to bypass parental supervision without parental consent. The policy, which allows minors to “graduate” from supervised accounts at age 13, removes safeguards such as SafeSearch filters and limits parents’ ability to monitor online activity.

Notably, First Lady Melania Trump has long been an advocate for online safety for children. Her “Be Best” initiative has focused on combating cyberbullying and the non-consensual distribution of explicit content, including deepfake imagery. However, it remains unclear whether she has directly discussed potential social media restrictions with the President.

The National Pulse reported in March 2024 that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed H.B. 3 into law, giving parents enhanced control over their under-16 children’s use of social media and requiring age verification for several websites. Additionally, the measure mandated that social media platforms block Floridians under 14 from creating new accounts and delete any existing accounts.

Bipartisan efforts in Congress, such as the Kids Off Social Media Act (KOSMA), have also sought to limit minors’ access to social media.

Epstein Pitched JPMorgan Chase on Plan to Get Bill Gates ‘More Money for Vaccines’

In the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bill Gates and key figures from the Gates Foundation regularly interacted with Jeffrey Epstein, discussing ways to finance and develop a global pandemic preparedness and vaccination network, according to the latest “Epstein Files.”

The communications between Gates and Epstein were included in the “Epstein Files” released Jan. 30 by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Last year’s passage of the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act prompted the release.

Sayer Ji told The Defender the files show that Epstein “functioned as a switchboard” connecting “hedge funds, central banks, billionaires, academic institutions and global health initiatives.”

Ji published his analysis of health- and medical-related information in the files in a series of Substack articles and posts on X.

Seamus Bruner, director of research at the Government Accountability Institute, said the files revealed the workings of a network of “Controligarchs on steroids, but with shocking new receipts.”

Bruner said the files showed that Epstein helped develop “the architecture for pandemic profiteering” years before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The documents largely date from the 2010s — after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting underage sex and his inclusion on a registry of sex offenders.

Ji noted that months before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the same actors who appear in the Epstein files participated in Event 201 — a simulation of a global pandemic caused by a coronavirus.

The pandemic preparedness infrastructure built in the years before the pandemic helped lead to this simulation, Ji wrote.

According to The Hill, members of the U.S. Congress began reviewing unredacted versions of the documents on Monday.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who co-sponsored the Epstein Files Transparency Act along with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), told The Defender the documents’ release is about justice, not politics.

“Rep. Ro Khanna and I have tried to keep the Epstein files from being political. The Democrats want to make it about Trump, and the Republicans want to make it about the Clintons. We want to make it about the survivors and getting them justice and transparency,” Massie said.

Gates, Epstein and the ‘architecture behind pandemics as a business model’

Ji’s series of Substack posts revealed what he described as “a 20-year architecture behind pandemics as a business model — with Bill Gates at the center of the network,” along with multinational financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase.

The documents, dating from 2011 to 2019, illustrate an “architecture whose foundations predate the COVID-19 era by more than a decade,” Ji wrote. He said they constitute evidence of “a major Wall Street bank asking a convicted sex offender to define the architecture of a Gates-linked charitable fund.”

I have been telling Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of the United Kingdom, that Leases are no good when it comes to Countries, and that he is making a big mistake by entering a 100 Year Lease with whoever it is that is “claiming” Right, Title, and Interest to Diego Garcia, strategically located in the Indian Ocean. Our relationship with the United Kingdom is a strong and powerful one, and it has been for many years, but Prime Minister Starmer is losing control of this important Island by claims of entities never known of before. In our opinion, they are fictitious in nature. Should Iran decide not to make a Deal, it may be necessary for the United States to use Diego Garcia, and the Airfield located in Fairford, in order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous Regime — An attack that would potentially be made on the United Kingdom, as well as other friendly Countries. Prime Minister Starmer should not lose control, for any reason, of Diego Garcia, by entering a tenuous, at best, 100 Year Lease. This land should not be taken away from the U.K. and, if it is allowed to be, it will be a blight on our Great Ally. We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the U.K., but they have to remain strong in the face of Wokeism, and other problems put before them. DO NOT GIVE AWAY DIEGO GARCIA!

Just a reminder that MSM "journalists" are really just script readers, paid to repeat narratives.

And when the same narrative is repeated over and over again in an "authoritative" tone, millions of people accept it as fact without question.

Don't be like those people.

8000 Major Stores Closing For Good As Retailer Apocalypse Goes From Bad To Worse

The retail crisis that many people dismissed as overblown has now wiped out over 8,000 stores across the United States, and we’re only getting started. In this video, we take a closer look at what’s really happening in the retail industry in 2026, why so many beloved brands are disappearing, and what it all means for everyday shoppers and workers who are caught in the middle of it all.

Over the past few years, we’ve watched major retailers file for bankruptcy one after another. Some of them tried to recover. Some of them promised they’d bounce back. But the truth is, many of those brands are now closing their doors for good. Forever 21, Big Lots, Amazon Fresh locations, Francesca’s, and even luxury names like Saks Fifth Avenue are either gone or hanging on by a thread. What used to feel like isolated incidents now looks like a full blown collapse that’s only picking up speed.

One of the biggest stories this year has been Target. A brand that was once considered the gold standard of affordable, aspirational shopping has fallen behind in ways that are hard to ignore. Messy stores, unhappy employees, layoffs, and a shopping experience that just doesn’t feel the same anymore. Target isn’t alone in this, but it’s become one of the clearest examples of how even the biggest names in retail can lose their way when they stop putting the customer first.

And that’s really the core of the problem. The in store shopping experience has deteriorated across the board. Employees are being stretched thin, shelves are understocked, and customer service has become almost nonexistent in many places. Workers are being pressured to sell more to customers who simply don’t have the money to spend. It’s a frustrating cycle that’s pushing more and more people toward online shopping, and it’s one of the main reasons why malls across the country are emptying out.

More than a dozen killed in bomb blasts, gunfire in Pakistan’s northwest

Eleven security personnel and a child killed in Bajaur district after two killed in a separate incident in Bannu.

Two bomb attacks and a gun battle between police and rebel fighters have killed more than a dozen people in northwest Pakistan.

One child and 11 security personnel ⁠were ⁠killed in an attack ‌in Bajaur district of volatile Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Monday, the Pakistani military said on Tuesday. Seven ⁠others, ⁠including women and children, ⁠were injured ⁠in ⁠the incident.

An explosives-laden vehicle detonated while being driven towards a security checkpoint in Bajaur, local police official Zafar Khan told The Associated Press news agency, adding that a girl was killed when a nearby building collapsed due to the force of the blast.

The attack came after rescue officials said two people were killed earlier on Monday when explosives attached to a parked motorcycle detonated near the entrance of a police station in Bannu, another district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa near the Afghan border.

Officials said at least 17 people were injured in the Bannu attack.

Reporting on violence in Bajaur, the AFP news agency said a suicide bomber drove a vehicle rigged with explosives into the wall of a religious college in the district.

As a result, “police and Frontier Corps personnel present inside the seminary were martyred”, a security official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.

It was not known if the explosions reported at the security checkpoint in Bajaur and the seminary blast in the district were linked or separate attacks.

In another incident reported by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police, three police personnel and as many rebel fighters were killed during a search operation in the province’s Shangla district. Police said the deceased fighters were involved in “attacks targeting Chinese nationals”.

Pakistan has seen a surge in unprecedented attacks against its security forces since 2021, coinciding with the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan.

WEF Rocked As CEO Faces Investigation Over Ties To "Davos Concierge" Epstein

The World Economic Forum (WEF) quietly launched an independent review earlier this month into its CEO, Børge Brende, over his past interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, Bloomberg reports.

Files released by the Department of Justice show Epstein and Brende had three dinners in 2018 and 2019, and exchanged various text messages. One dinner occurred in September 2018, more than a decade after Epstein's 2008 conviction and guilty plea in Florida for procuring a child for prostitution, and another on June 13, 2019, shortly before Epstein's final arrest on federal sex-trafficking charges.

Like many powerful figures, Brende has claimed that he was unaware of Epstein's criminal history at the time of their meetings, and is said to have ordered the probe into his communications with Epstein.

"I was completely unaware of Epstein’s past and criminal activities," Brende said in a statement to Bloomberg. "Had I known about his background, I would have declined the initial invitation and any subsequent dinner invitations or other communications.”

"I recognize that I could have conducted a more thorough investigation into Epstein’s history, and I regret not doing so,” he added.

Klaus Schwab, who founded the WEF in 1971, has maintained that he is “certain” that he never met with Epstein, a press representative told Bloomberg.

Beyond Brende's direct contacts, the released files highlight Epstein's broader efforts to leverage the prestige of the WEF's annual Davos meeting. Despite reportedly claiming to "hate" the Forum in private, Epstein positioned himself as a self-described "Davos concierge" to facilitate access for his associates.

For instance, in late 2009, months after his release from Florida incarceration, Epstein corresponded with Boris Nikolic, an immunologist and regular Davos attendee, offering to arrange one-on-one meetings. "I can organize a 1:1 meeting with most people there. One 'virtual currency' I have is access ;)," Epstein wrote while sharing a participant list, according to Bloomberg.

San Antonio CEO Pleads Guilty to Over $69 Million Investment Fraud Scheme

SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio man who conducted a $69.5 million fraud scheme pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to one count of wire fraud, announced U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas, Justin R. Simmons.

According to court documents, from January 2023 to March 2025, Devin Ward Elder, 47, fraudulently raised more than $69.5 million from approximately 345 investor victims that participated in 17 real estate investments. Elder was the founder and CEO of the San Antonio-based investment firm, DJE Texas Management Group, LLC, which was formed in March 2015 and employed dozens of people. DJE invested in multifamily apartments, industrial flexible workspace units, land projects, commercial building projects, and offered investment in a so-called “Income Fund.” Fourteen of DJE’s 17 offered investments acquired real property, and each property was owned by a separate LLC created for the limited purpose of purchasing and owning the investment property.

Elder induced his victims to invest with him and made a series of material misrepresentations promising high returns with low risk. Among many other false representations, Elder promised that he would “co-invest” his own money. Additionally, in classic Ponzi fashion, Elder made interest payments to investors of one project using investor funds from other projects without disclosing the nature or source of those interest payments. Over the 26-month life of the scheme, investors received approximately $8.8 million in payments that Elder purported to be “interest” and “principal” payments. In reality, many of the payments consisted of the investments of investors in other funds rather than actual investment returns.

In March 2025, Elder halted interest payments to the victim-investors. He notified the investors that his businesses were having financial difficulties, the projects would not be completed, and they should expect to lose a large portion of their investments.

Elder was charged with one count of wire fraud on Jan. 28 and summoned to appear in federal court on Feb. 17, at which time he pleaded guilty. Elder is scheduled to be sentenced the week of June 2 and faces up to 20 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Trump signals military option if Iran rejects deal

February 18, 2026

Summary

- Iran’s teachers’ union said a Wednesday strike to honor students and teachers killed in the protests led to school closures in several cities.

- After a round of US-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva, reports pointed to a mounting US military buildup and warnings from Israeli officials that a broader confrontation could unfold within days if diplomacy breaks down.

- US Vice President JD Vance said Iran is not yet willing to acknowledge some of President Donald Trump’s red lines following the latest round of negotiations in Geneva on Tuesday.

- Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said talks with the United States had made good progress on Tuesday, with both sides agreeing on guiding principles to begin drafting a possible agreement, though he cautioned that reaching a deal would be difficult and not imminent.

- IRGC-affiliated media said parts of the Strait of Hormuz would close for several hours during a naval drill, as the Guards’ navy commander said his forces could shut the waterway “in the shortest possible time” if ordered.

- The United States has deployed more than 50 F-35, F-22 and F-16 fighter jets to the Middle East region in the past 24 hours, Axios reported, citing flight radar data and a US official.

‘Many arguments’ for Iran strike, White House says

"There are many arguments one can make in favor of a strike against Iran. President Trump prefers diplomacy. Iran would be wise to make a deal,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday.

“There was a little bit of progress made (during Iran-US talks in Geneva), but we’re still very far apart on some issues. I believe the Iranians are expected to come back to us with some more detail in the next couple of weeks, and so the President will continue to watch how this plays out,” Leavitt added.

UN rapporteur says military action on Iran ‘not a magic solution’

The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran said she is strongly critical of any potential US military action against Iran.

"I am very critical of any kind of military action without the approval of the UN Security Council," Mai Sato said in an interview with Spanish newspaper, El País.

"When there has been military action elsewhere, it has not provided clear solutions. I do not see military action as a magic solution to resolve the problems in Iran," she added.

When asked whether the Islamic Republic had committed crimes against humanity during recent protests, Sato said, “It would be very irresponsible of me to say yes, because this is a very serious accusation that requires investigation.”

"Even if we ask ourselves 'Why can’t we define it that way?' The answer is that we don’t act that way in our own criminal justice systems either. I wouldn’t define someone as a murderer without a conviction for that crime, even if there are videos showing the alleged crime," she added.

Apache helicopters downed drones in air-to-air combat with 30mm proximity ammo

Feb 18, 2026, 03:32 AM

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — The U.S. Army’s Apache attack helicopter AH-64 broke new ground by firing 30mm proximity ammunition at drones in air-to-air combat during a December exercise in Yuma, Arizona, according to the service.

The live fire test saw Apache pilots engage drones flying on ranges at Yuma Proving Ground using the 30x113mm XM1225 Aviation Proximity Explosive, called APEX.

The APEX rounds have proximity fuzes that cause them to detonate when they close in on a target, releasing a wide radius of blast fragments.

The 30mm rounds are designed to be fired at targets requiring precision to hit, such as small boats, drones and enemy combatants, without requiring changes to the Apache’s existing weapon system.

The fragments excelled at destroying drones in flight, the service has stated, in addition to being effective against ground targets.

“The XM1225’s proximity fuze has the potential to increase soft-skinned ground and aerial target vulnerability, providing the Attack [Division] community an additional capability so long as those targets are susceptible to detection, classification, and tracking,” Maj. Vincent Franchino, test pilot and Attack Division chief at Redstone Test Center in Huntsville, Alabama, said in a statement.

The APEX technology was developed in-house by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Armaments Center, with support from Picatinny Arsenal and Northrop Grumman.

Proximity fuzes have a long history within the U.S. military. The first were developed by the United States during World War II and were used against aircraft and Germany’s V-1 flying bombs.

The move to upgrade helicopter weapons capabilities for drone warfare is part of the Army’s drive to modernize combat units to address and incorporate unmanned systems.

Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George announced last month that the service will begin fielding the Bell MV-75 tiltrotor aircraft by the end of this year and that larger unmanned aerial systems classed in Groups 3, 4 and 5 are being integrated into Army combat aviation brigades.

Ivermectin: Dr. William Makis Provides Chart for Cancer Treatment and Suggested Dosages

Dr. William Makis gives some case histories on treating cancer with Ivermectin provides a dosing schedule. He said that ivermectin is a safe drug, but there are no medical trials because it is off-patent and there is little profit as inexpensive generic versions of the drug are available. Note that 1 kilogram = 2.205 pounds. Dr. Makis posts ivermectin case histories and other pertinent information on his X account at this link.

mRNA Injections Stay in the Body for Years. Bill Gates–Epstein Pandemic “Planning” Network Exposed

Researcher Nicolas Hulscher reviews a COVID ‘vaccine’ injury case that demonstrates that in some individuals vaccine-derived genetic sequences and spike protein can persist for years after mRNA vaccination, contradicting earlier false claims that the material would degrade rapidly.

He summarized the association between Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein that focused on promoting and funding vaccines with a timeline beginning in 2011.

Obama Center Gets Even Uglier As Massive Mind-Numbing Text Display Goes Up

The Obama Presidential Center has taken plenty of heat, mostly because it’s one of the ugliest buildings humanity has ever produced. Soviet architects would be in awe of the brutalist, menacing design of the $850 million ode to the 44th president.

But what some have termed a “Klingon prison” just got weirder and, if possible, less attractive with the addition of a colossal display on its sides with words from the former president’s 2015 speech in Selma, Alabama. It might be inspiring — if you could actually read it:

I noticed when I was in the air that the sentences wrap around the west and south sides of the building, and looks decent in a very specific spot on the ground or very good from the air…but like that’s not an ideal design in my opinion. pic.twitter.com/pjtUxRUCM9

— Tyler Pasciak LaRiviere (@TylerLaRiviere) February 16, 2026

“Not the ideal design.” Well, that’s certainly a contestant for understatement of the year. “I gave up after developing a headache three lines from the top,” one commenter noted.

It’s not a traditional presidential library — the physical archives won’t even be stored there, as is usually the case. Instead, the National Archives will manage them off-site and make digital versions available to the public. Its real purpose is to act as some sort of monumental community organizing project.

The Obama Foundation, whose CEO is the infamous Valerie Jarrett, funds and will run the campus, which will sport a regulation basketball court, a museum, a life-size replica of the Oval Office, podcast/recording studios, a “Democracy in Action Lab,” and more.

There will be an actual library on site, a 5,000-square-foot branch of the Chicago Public Library, which will be topped by the Eleanor Roosevelt Fruit and Vegetable Garden.

Their website bills the place as “A Global Center for Change.”

Why? I like America the way it is. What exactly do you want to change? It’s a rhetorical question; we all know that he wants to change into a woke bastion of liberalism.

When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, it will be a hub for change — a place for people from all over the world to come together, get inspired, and take what they learn back to their own communities. https://t.co/gW6UCYBCAJ pic.twitter.com/U92thHbAUL

Trump DOJ Blocks Largest Copper, Gold, And Silver Extraction Site In The US Over Salmon, Sending Stock Tumbling

https://x.com/zerohedge/status/2024195234700100037

https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/trump-doj-blocks-largest-copper-gold-and-silver-extraction-site-us-over-salmon-sending

If built, the Pebble mine would produce 6.4 billion lb. of copper, 7.4 million oz of gold, and 300 lb. of molybdenum - along with 37 million ounces of silver and 200,000 kg of rhenium over 20 years, according to a 2023 economic study cited by mining.com.

The DOJ argues that the EPA correctly found that discharges from the mining operation would cause unacceptable adverse affects on salmon fisheries.

"This precedent will be used by future Democratic administrations to reverse all of the progress this administration has made with its pro-energy, pro-mining, pro-development agenda," said Northern Dynasty president and CEO Ron Thiessen, calling the move "surprising."

History:

2001: Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. acquires mining claims for the Pebble deposit, a large low-grade copper-gold-molybdenum ore body in the Bristol Bay watershed. PLP (Pebble Limited Partnership), a subsidiary, begins data collection for large-scale mining.

2010: The Obama EPA announces that it would be conducting a scientific assessment under the Clean Water Act to evaluate large-scale mining impacts on Bristol Bay's water quality and salmon resources.

2014: BLOCKED! The EPA issues a Proposed Determination under Section 404(c) to restrict discharges in Pebble area waters due to risks to salmon habitat.

2017: during the first Trump administration, the EPA reversed course - proposing a withdrawal of the 2014 determination, which was finalized in 2019 (the withdrawal).

2022: The Biden EPA hits back, reversing the reversal - essentially putting the project on ice again.

January 2023: The Biden EPA issues a final veto determination to kill the project.

July 2023: Alaska files a motion with the US Supreme Court to challenge the Biden EPA.

March 2024: Northern Dynasty files a separate complaint challenging the EPA.

June 2024: Iliamna Natives Ltd. et al. (Alaska Native Corporations) file a complaint challenging the EPA.

November 12, 2024: US District Court for Alaska consolidates the three cases

February 17, 2026: Trump DOJ files opposition brief defending the Biden EPA's final determination.

February 18, 2026 | Sundance | 1 Comment

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gives the ¹official statements from the White House on a variety of topics and matters of great interest. The video below is prompted to the beginning of the media question segment.

Around the 10:00 minute mark Leavitt notes the likelihood of President Trump taking military action against Iran. WATCH:

¹There is a tremendous amount of false or manipulated information from media sources, allies and critics of the administration. We are at a critical juncture where it is a best practice to listen directly to President Trump or his specifically assigned spokespeople.

The ugly Obama Presidential center/library has received a hideous new update due to the man’s malignant narcissism and it is sparking widespread mockery. One user called the update “headache-inducing” while noting how many words are disjointed.

I's indistinguishable from L's and T's. E's indistinguishable from F's. Multiple words get disjointed-not just on one plane but two.

Truly, one of the most headache-inducing reading experiences I've ever had.

Dan Bongino Interviews FBI Director Kash Patel

February 18, 2026 |

Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is helping to spearhead a coordinated message campaign for President Trump as he returns to podcasting.

Bongino is hoping to fill the void for voices who speak positively about ongoing DOJ and FBI efforts and share information about ongoing Justice Department efforts.

Today, Dan Bongino interviews FBI Director Kash Patel. At 01:08:36 of the video below,Kash Patel outlines some pending information that is likely to reach the headlines about the funding mechanisms behind Antifa. I have prompted the video to the entire interview between Bongino and Patel. {Direct Rumble Link} – WATCH:

BREAKING: Democrats are already FLOCKING to the cameras during Les Wexner's deposition. They look PETRIFIED and desperate to plant a narrative.

They are ALREADY giving excuses and cover for Wexner, saying:

"It's important to note that Mr. Wexner appears to be unaware of much of the money."

Why is Rep. Garcia quick to excuse and caveat for Wexner unlike ANY other Epstein lister who happens to be a political foe?

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

💉SOUTH CAROLINA: THEY VACCINATED 1,200 KIDS. THEN THE OUTBREAK HAPPENED.

South Carolina just dropped a bill to remove the religious exemption for the MMR vaccine, eliminating exemptions for kids in childcare, school, or college.

Why? Because there's a measles outbreak in Spartanburg County. About 95% of the cases are happening there.

But here's what they're not telling you:

That same county just did a massive vaccination push. They vaccinated over 1,200 kids aged 6 months to 11 months.

The MMR vaccine is a live virus. About 7% of kids who get it will develop a rash and fever, which meets the clinical definition of measles.

And those vaccinated kids? They can spread it.

@NVICAdvocacy

joined us to talk about this and said:

Here's the question everyone should be demanding an answer to: Are we seeing a wild-type measles outbreak, or are we seeing vaccine-strain measles spreading from the 1,200 kids they vaccinated?

They're not testing. They're not distinguishing between wild-type and vaccine-strain. They're not advertising whether they're even checking.

This is a highly imperfect vaccine. It doesn't stop subclinical spread. It will not - and CANNOT - ever produce herd immunity. That's just the reality.

But instead of acknowledging that, they're deflecting and blaming the unvaccinated. And now they want to eliminate religious exemptions and mandate the MMR for everyone.

1,200 kids vaccinated. Then an outbreak in the same county. And the solution is to vaccinate MORE kids and remove exemptions?

The story is in the nuance. The vaccine is live. The vaccine can cause measles symptoms. The vaccinated can spread it. And they're not testing to distinguish.

But they'll try to take away your right to refuse it anyway.

This is how policy gets made. Crisis. Reaction. Mandate.

Don't let it slide this time...

Seems they all think Trumps DOJ has got them covered so they can now claim innocence!

Wexner Says He Was 'Conned' By Epstein, Did 'Nothing Wrong'

After what must have been quite the prep session with lawyers, billionaire Les Wexner - who gave Jeffrey Epstein "about a billion dollars" in cash and assets - testified to the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday that he was "conned" by Epstein, and denied any wrongdoing.

In a prepared statement, the 88-year-old former L Brands (which owned Victoria's Secret) CEO said:

Let me state from the start: I was naïve, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. He was a con man. And while I was conned, I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide. I completely and irrevocably cut ties with Epstein nearly twenty years ago when I learned that he was an abuser, a crook, and a liar.

...

And, let me be crystal clear: I never witnessed nor had any knowledge of Epstein's criminal activity. I was never a participant nor coconspirator in any of Epstein's illegal activities. To my enormous embarrassment and regret, like many others, I was duped by a world-class con man. I cannot undo that part of my personal history even as I regret ever having met him.

BREAKING: DR. JAY BHATTACHARYA TO TAKE OVER AS ACTING CDC DIRECTOR

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, current director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will take over as acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to a White House official and sources familiar with the matter.

Bhattacharya will continue in his current duties as NIH director until a permanent CDC director is nominated and confirmed.

He replaces Jim O'Neill, who served as acting CDC director from late August 2025 until stepping down last week. O'Neill will be nominated as the next head of the National Science Foundation.

This marks a significant shift in leadership at the CDC as the Trump administration continues to reshape federal health agencies. Bhattacharya, a Stanford-trained physician and economist, was one of the co-authors of the Great Barrington Declaration during COVID-19, which advocated for focused protection of vulnerable populations rather than broad lockdowns.

His dual role leading both the NIH and CDC temporarily consolidates major public health decision-making under one official who has been an advocate for freedom and staunchly opposed pandemic-era policies and has pushed for greater scrutiny of vaccines and other medical interventions.

More details to follow as this story develops.

Oh boy… 👀

🚨 BREAKING — Epstein Files Reveal the Israeli Government Installed and Maintained Security System at Jeffrey Epstein’s Apartment for Years

- The Israeli government (via the Israeli Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York) installed and maintained security equipment, alarms, and surveillance systems at the apartment building at 301 East 66th Street in Manhattan, starting in early 2016 and continuing for at least two years.

- This building was controlled by Jeffrey Epstein, though technically owned by a company linked to his brother Mark Epstein; it was notorious in Epstein's network for housing underage models and being loaned to associates.

- Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak frequently stayed at the apartment for extended periods during this time.

- Rafi Shlomo, director of protective services at the Israeli mission to the UN and head of Barak's security, coordinated with Epstein's staff (including assistant Lesley Groff) to arrange installations, conduct background checks on employees, and control access.

- A January 2016 email exchange between Nili Priell (Barak's wife) and an Epstein assistant discussed installing alarms, six window sensors, and remote access control; Priell noted the system could be remotely neutralized by contacting Rafi Shlomo at the consulate.

- Epstein personally approved the invasive installations, with an email quoting him as saying: “Jeffrey says he does not mind holes in the walls and this is all just fine!”

- The setup was tied to Israeli law providing ongoing security protection for former prime ministers, extending to this private residence.

- Additional coordination occurred in 2017 (e.g., February meetings at the Israeli mission, employee access lists in January, and updates on Barak's visits through November).

- Yoni Koren, a longtime aide to Barak (with a background in Israeli military intelligence and covert operations), was another frequent guest at the apartment over multiple years, including periods in 2013–2015 and up to 2019.

- Evidence comes primarily from recently released Department of Justice emails, plus cross-referenced leaked emails from Barak's inbox, calendars from House Oversight Committee investigations, and prior reporting on the building.

This as a serious national security risk..

Former PM Bennett condemns Tucker Carlson as ‘a chickenshit’ and ‘a phony’

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett denounces Tucker Carlson as “a chickenshit”and “a phony,” after the right-wing American commentator claimed he was detained and interrogated at Ben Gurion Airport.

“The guy who’s been spouting lies about Israel for the past two years, landed today at Ben Gurion Airport, took a quick picture in the logistics zone, tweeted it to pretend he’s actually IN Israel (so he can later claim that he’s a serious reporter who toured Israel), didn’t even step foot in country, then made up a story that he’s being supposedly harassed by our security (didn’t happen), whined about it, got back into the private jet and flew off,” Bennett writes on X.

“Next time he talks about Israel as if he’s some expert, just remember this guy is a phony!”

BREAKING: The Kansas State House has voted 87-37 in FAVOR of passing SB 244, which defines "gender" as biological sex, bans men from invading women's bathrooms, and requires accurate sex-based identification on licenses and birth certificates.

Every Democrat voted against it. Democrat Gov. Laura Kelly's veto of the bill was overridden.

Democrat Kansas State Rep. Abi Boatman, a MAN pretending to be a woman, has a MELTDOWN on the floor after the House voted to PASS a bill BANNING men from invading women's bathrooms.

"This bill obviously discriminates against transgender people... There's no outrage about trans boys playing in sports. There's no handringing about husbands and sons sharing their bathrooms with trans men. This is about blaming women for the bad behavior of men."

The Epstein Files: A Peek Behind the Dark Curtain, pt. 2

============

### Cannibals, Jerky, and Human Hunting, oh my!

Donald Jeffries

Feb 18

READ IN APP

This is part two of my look at the “highlights” from the massive number of documents related to notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that have been released thus far. Once again, the great researcher Peter Secosh deserves much of the credit here, as he has been combing through these files more thoroughly than anyone else.

According to a Confidential Human Source (CHS), reporting to the FBI in 2020, both Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and his brother Josh were students of high profile attorney Alan Dershowitz. The CHS stated that he believed Dershowitz had been coopted by the Mossad. The CHS source claimed to have heard Dershowitz tell then- Florida U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta that Epstein worked for both U.S. and Israeli intelligence. Acosta would give Epstein a “sweetheart deal” when he was prosecuted in 2008, and was then named Secretary of Labor by Donald Trump during his first presidential term. The CHS heard Dershowitz tell the Kushner brothers that, if he were young again, he would be holding a stun gun as a Mossad agent. The CHS declared that the real story was that “Trump has been compromised by Israel, and Kushner is the real brains behind his organization and his presidency.”

Trump’s present Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seems to be in the center of all this. Lutnick had previously been next-door neighbors to Jeffrey Epstein in New York, and was the former head of Cantor Fitzgerald, which occupied floors 101-105 of World Trade Center Building 1. Cantor Fitzgerald lost some 658 employees on 9/11, making it the organization with the greatest loss of life on that day. Just like Larry Silverstein, notorious for saying, “Pull it,” in regard to Building 7, on the morning of September 11, Lutnick just happened to be conveniently running behind, claiming later that he had to drive his child to kindergarten. If only we had real journalists, it might be interesting to see if Lutnick regularly was late to work because of his child’s kindergarten class. Lutnick was such close friends with Epstein, that he had even been the trustee of his Manhattan property. “Jeffrey, I’m home!” Think Fred Mertz, if he weren’t a lowly goy with his pants pulled up to his nipples.

As Fox Business reported: “Some executives at Cantor Fitzgerald are steaming mad at their boss, chief executive Howard Lutnick for quietly pocketing a chunk of a $135 million settlement the company received from American Airlines…Cantor accused the airline of failing to prevent hijackers from taking the plane that crashed into the firm’s headquarters in the north tower of the World Trade Center. After years of legal wrangling, American agreed to $135 million settlement in December 2013. Some people inside Cantor believed the money would be distributed to families of company employees who died in the attacks, or put into the firm’s general coffers. But during a conference call in March, Lutnick told senior executives ‘The bulk’ of the money would be distributed among the firm’s partners, according to one person on the call. Further, the person said each partner would receive $2 for each partnership unit. The source also said Lutnick is widely believed to own the biggest piece of the firm’s partnership shares, thus entitling him to possibly tens of millions of dollars from the settlement. ‘I have no idea how much he made from this but he is the biggest partner,’ the source said.” Speculation was that Lutnick netted from $15 million to $25 million."

Lutnick glows.

I have it from a separate source a writer journalist close to the situation , FWIW, that Lutnick is somehow involved in 911 attack "hoax"

We are ready to close Hormuz Strait: IRGC navy chief

TEHRAN – The commander of the naval unit of the IRGC announced on Monday that Iran is ready to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz upon an order by Iran’s top echelons.

“The decision to close the Strait of Hormuz lies with the establishment’s top leaders, and I, as a soldier, say that we are ready to do it whenever the order is issued,” Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri stated.

The comments by Tangsiri came as he was at the scene of the military exercises codenamed “Smart Control of the Hormuz Strait”.

The live-fire exercises started on Monday, with a primary focus on the Strait of Hormuz.

As a customary, during the drill, vessels are banned from passing through the waterway for some hours.

The second stage of the drill on Tuesday, conducted by combat units and rapid reaction forces, was a practice for the safe passage of ships in the narrow waterway through which 20 percent of global oil supplies pass.

Different types of offensive and defensive weaponry were used in the exercise. Military experts at the scene said the targets were successfully destroyed.

The highly maneuverable missile-launching units also fired missiles deep from inside Iran, the Persian Gulf coasts and islands, and hit their targets in the Strait of Hormuz.

Drone units also conducted operations using combat and reconnaissance UAVs, practicing missions in signal-jamming environments, and accurately striking both fixed and mobile targets.

What do ya’ll think about this?

Don Huffins, owner of Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, says he bought the property to turn it into a Christian Retreat, which coincidently “Is under Construction Today”

This comes after New Mexico lawmakers announce Investigation into the Zorro Ranch, after Epstein Files revealed there were “Foreign Girls” possibly buried in the hills.

🚨 #BREAKING - New Mexico lawmakers launch Investigation into Epstein’s 7,600-Acre Zorro Ranch after Epstein Files revealed there were “Foreign Girls” possibly buried in the hills

But What’s most interesting is who owns it now:

Texas Republican Don Huffines owns it… who was endorsed by Thomas Massie for governor in 2022.

Recently, there was a major falling out on social media with Massie supporters after someone who was investigating these claims asked Massie about it, and Massie responded — “You’re barking up the wrong tree. I’m not touching that.”

In the 2022 Texas Republican gubernatorial primary, Trump explicitly endorsed then-Gov. Greg Abbott over Huffines. He is now running in the March 2026 Republican primary for Texas Comptroller. As far as I can tell, Trump still hasn’t endorsed him.

For transparency, one of Don Huffines’ sons—Russell Huffines—works in the Trump administration, and was hired in June 2025 as associate director of agency outreach.

Don Huffins is the CEO of HEST Investments, which recently invested millions into a biotech company named Secretome Therapeutics, whic uses cardiac cells from baby hearts under 30 days old for tissue cell sourcing.

🔻Huffines Statement:

"At the time of the sale, it was marketed that the proceeds would go to the victims. It has since been confirmed by the estate’s attorneys that proceeds from the sale benefited the victims," Huffines said.

"What the enemy once meant for evil, God can redeem for good. That’s why we renamed the property San Rafael, after the saint associated with physical and spiritual healing, and began plans immediately to remake it as a Christian retreat, reclaiming it for Jesus..."

"No law enforcement agency has ever approached me to request access, and I have always said unequivocally that any such request would be met with immediate access and full cooperation."

🔻 My Thoughts:

None of this makes anyone guilty, but it’s definitely interesting how Massie tucked tail and RAN from his base who was inquiring about this.

Teen Vogue now pushing anti-ICE propaganda despite reports of its demise

Some decried the death of the outlet, but it's still pushing leftist claptrap.

Liberals were outraged when Conde Nast announced that Teen Vogue was going to be absorbed into Vogue.com and would no longer be independent, but the brand continues to publish extremist propaganda.

Teen Vogue was constantly ridiculed and derided by right-wing news outlets for regularly publishing degenerate sexual content and far-left Marxist stories intended to radicalize teens.

'We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together.'

Despite reports of its demise, the outlet is still working to despoil the virtue of teenagers online.

In the op-ed titled "ICE Watch Programs Can Protect Immigrants in Your Neighborhood — Here’s What to Know," activist Nikki Marín Baena teaches teens how to oppose federal immigration law enforcement.

Baena said her group offered "trainings in immigrant neighborhood parking lots and ... Spanish-language videos with tips for how to spot ICE agents."

The group also set up an "emergency cash-assistance fund to provide small grants, usually between $300 and $2,000, to help" families of people detained by ICE "stave off eviction and afford the first payment to an immigration attorney."

She posted a link to a guidebook for those who wanted to set up a "hotline, neighborhood watch, or cash-assistance program."

Baena concluded, "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

Teen Vogue pushed the article Monday to its followers on Facebook.

A statement from Vogue in Nov. 2025 said that the brand would "remain a distinct editorial property, with its own identity and mission," but the focus would change to "career development, cultural leadership, and other issues that matter most to young people."

Apparently that includes anti-ICE propaganda.

Robocop star Tom Noonan dead at 74: Actor and director hailed the 'perfect bad guy' passes away peacefully on Valentine's Day

Robocop star Tom Noonan has died at the age of 74.

The actor and director, who was hailed the 'perfect bad guy,' passed away peacefully on Valentine's Day, his co-star Karen Sillas confirmed on Wednesday.

Tom was best known for his role as Cain / RoboCain in the 1990s sequel and Francis Dollarhyde in Manhunter.

Sharing the sad news to Instagram, Karen, who worked alongside him in What Happened Was..., paid tribute to his 'legacy.'

She wrote: 'My dear friend and co-star, Tom Noonan passed peacefully on Valentine’s Day 2026.

'Working with him in his original off Broadway play, ‘What Happened Was…,’ at the Paradise Factory Theatre in the early nineties, was a turning point for me and my career that still resonates throughout my life and work as an actor.'

Millionaire Philanthropist Found Shot Dead at Assisted Living Facility in Maryland

Police are investigating after a millionaire philanthropist was shot dead at a senior living facility in Maryland.

On Saturday, Feb. 14 at approximately 7:34 a.m. local time, the Montgomery County Department of Police and Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service officers “responded to the Cogir Potomac Senior Living facility in the 10800 block of Potomac Tennis Lane for a reported code,” per a news release.

First responders then located 87-year-old Robert Fuller, Jr. “unresponsive inside an apartment within the senior living facility,” the release stated.

Police said, “Life-saving measures were attempted, but he was pronounced dead at the scene,” adding that officers at the scene “observed that Fuller had trauma to the head and Major Crimes was notified.”

Two-Hour Meeting in Geneva Between U.S., Ukraine and Russia Negotiators Ends with Not much Progress

February 18, 2026 | Sundance |

The U.S. mediating team met with Ukraine and Russia negotiators for the second day in Geneva, Switzerland. Unfortunately, despite the high praise and customary diplomatic niceties spoken, there was not much progress.

There was, however, a rather remarkable accusation hurled by Russian media about uninvited British officials going to Geneva in order to conduct surveillance of the negotiations. Apparently,this is part of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s efforts to retain maximum involvementand influence.

STEVE WITKOFF – “Today, at President Trump’s direction, the United States moderated a third set of trilateral discussions with Ukraine and Russia. Thank you to the Swiss Confederation for being gracious hosts for today’s meetings.

President Trump’s success in bringing both sides of this war together has brought about meaningful progress, and we are proud to work under his leadership to stop the killing in this terrible conflict. Both parties agreed to update their respective leaders and continue working towards a deal.” (source)

RUSTEM UMEROV (UKRAINE) – “In Geneva, the second day of trilateral negotiations has begun.

Consultations are taking place in working groups by areas within the political and military tracks. We are working on clarifying the parameters and mechanisms of the decisions discussed yesterday.

We are focused on substantive work. We will provide additional information on the results.” (source)

Lindsey Graham meets MBZ as US ‘armada’ builds in Middle East(??? Why Graham)

The US senator has met with the Emirati president as the largest US military presence in the region in decades continues to grow

Emirati President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met US Senator Lindsey Graham on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi, the senator said in a post on X.It comes as the biggest US ‘armada’ in decades builds in the Middle East.

As US and Iranian representatives met in Geneva on Tuesday, a steady flow of American refueling tankers, electronic warfare aircraft, and fighter jets crossed the Atlantic, stopping at bases in the UK and Germany on their way to the Middle East. The nuclear-powered USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed in the Persian Gulf since January and is expected to be joined soon by the USS Gerald R. Ford, currently sailing toward the Strait of Gibraltar.

In his X post,Graham also criticized what he called “false narratives” circulating about the UAE and its leader. Earlier this week, social mediaspeculation about the health of the sheikh, also known as MBZ,had surged after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan postponed a planned visit to Abu Dhabi. His office announced the reason as a “health problem” before deleting the message.

Graham said he met the UAE president for an hour and a half and dismissed those “perpetuating false narratives against the United Arab Emirates and President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed” as “full of it.”

According to Emirati News Agency (WAM), Graham and Al Nahyan discussed regional developments and efforts to promote peace in the Middle East.

=The visit also comes in the middle of a growing rift between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which find themselves on different sides of the Yemen conflict. Earlier in December, clashes erupted between forces aligned with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council and fighters loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognized, Saudi-backed government.

The confrontations exposed deep divisions within the anti-Houthi coalitionand underscored competing agendas in southern Yemen.

Now only dems are digging on Wexner and they don't believe his testimony.

Saves us trying to convince them Wexner's dirty, and saves us having to listen to them defending him.

We get to sit back and watch the show, perhaps intervene

=Fox’s Lara Trump Says ‘Many’ Trumps May Run for Office: It ‘May Not End Just With Donald Trump!’. KEK she’s doing it to freak them out and will work.

Charlie Nash

Feb 18th, 2026, 11:31 am

Fox News host Lara Trump suggested on Tuesday that “many” members of the Trump family could eventually run for office, with multiple possible successors to her father-in-law President Donald Trump.

“I have looked at my father-in-law over the past eleven, almost twelve years now, and I’ve watched the impact that he’s been able to make in people’s lives and it’s amazing. Look, he’s dealt with hell, right? He has gone through so much,” said Trump during an appearance on Miranda Devine’s Pod Force One:

So it’s really inspired me, and I think it’s inspired everyone in our family, so much so that I’d consider running for a possible Senate seat. So I would never say never to anything. What I do feel like, and whether it’s for Donald Trump running, who thought about running for president for a long time before he actually did, or a Senate run, or whatever it might be for me or I think anyone in our family, I think the timing has to be right, and it didn’t work out for me in 2022, it didn’t work out for me in 2025. Just the timing had to be right.

[…]

I would say that at this point, we’ve all kind of dipped our toe in the water of politics enough to know that it’s something that I think possibly interests many of us in our family, and I know the Democrats would love to hear that, that it may not end just with Donald Trump, but I do think the timing has to be right for all of us.

Devine questioned, “What does Donald Trump say about that? You know, does he encourage you to run for office? Does he encourage Eric or Don?”

“I don’t think I had a bigger champion in running for a Senate seat than my father-in-law,” Trump replied. “In fact, so much so that he would call me multiple times a week with multiple people from different backgrounds to say, ‘This person thinks you’d be great. You gotta do it.’ So he is absolutely a champion of mine, of I’m sure any of the kids. He certainly would have their backs on it. But yeah, I think he’s, you know, he’s gonna cheer for all of us or any of us if the time came for whatever that might be.”

Devine concluded, “So we may see President Trump of the new generation, but which one it is is still to be filled out. Maybe all three!

Suburban Chicago Man Sentenced to 37 Years in Prison for Sexually Exploiting Nearly 100 Children

CHICAGO — A federal judge has sentenced a Chicago man to 37 years in prison for sexually exploiting nearly 100 children with whom he communicated on social media.

In 2022, SHAUN HEALY used Snapchat to contact and persuade young girls to create and send him sexually explicit images and videos of themselves. Healy often posed as a young girl himself to gain his victims’ trust and induce them to produce the sexually abusive material. He provided graphic, step-by-step instructions to his victims, including the type of explicit conduct they should engage in and how to record and send it to him.

Healy also extorted his victims by threatening to publish the images and videos they sent him if they didn’t produce and send him even more such materials.

In December 2022, law enforcement arrested Healy at his residence in Elburn, Ill., and searched his cellular phone. Law enforcement discovered a password-protected album on the phone that contained dozens of carefully organized folders of children that Healy had stored from his Snapchat account. Each folder contained the child’s Snapchat username, image, and a catalog of the sexually explicit videos and images that he instructed them to produce and send.

Healy, 45, pleaded guilty last year to child exploitation charges. U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman imposed the 37-year prison sentence during a hearing on Feb. 12, 2026, in federal court in Chicago.

The sentence was announced by Andrew S. Boutros, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and Matthew J. Scarpino, Special Agent-in-Charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Chicago. Valuable assistance was provided by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

“Defendant is a child predator,” Assistant U.S. Attorneys Saqib Mohammad Hussain and Elly Moheb argued in the government’s sentencing memorandum. “And not just a child predator, but one who ruthlessly sexually exploited young girls and prided himself on it. What defendant made these children do will affect them for the rest of their lives in ways that we cannot appreciate.”

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood (PSC), a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse. PSC marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, while also providing critical services to victims.

President of Insurance Brokerage Firm and CEO of Marketing Company Sentenced in $233M Affordable Care Act Enrollment Fraud Scheme that Preyed on Vulnerable Consumers

Two executives were each sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted for their roles in a years-long scheme to steal from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) program. The defendants — the president of an insurance brokerage firm and the CEO of a marketing company — preyed on tens of thousands of vulnerable consumers to improperly enroll them into fully subsidized ACA plans, for which the defendants earned millions of dollars in commission payments from insurance companies.

“Preying upon medically compromised consumers to rob hundreds of millions from taxpayer-funded programs is evil and unforgivable,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Fraud schemes like this rob citizens and shake faith in our institutions — today’s sentencing is the latest example of this DOJ’s commitment to fighting fraud nationwide.”

“These defendants didn’t just commit fraud; they built a business model around exploiting people at their most vulnerable,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “They targeted vulnerable individuals in the community, manipulated federal health programs for profit, and put victims at risk of losing critical medical care so they could cash in. Stealing hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars while endangering lives is as callous as it gets. The FBI and our partners will continue to track down and hold accountable anyone who treats vulnerable Americans as a payday.”

“These defendants will rightly spend decades in prison for taking advantage of thousands of vulnerable people and stealing millions from a health care safety net designed for working families,” said Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “These defendants were sophisticated, licensed insurance brokers. They had everything and intentionally took advantage of people who had nothing. The message from these sentences is simple: those who seek to line their own pockets with taxpayer dollars, victimize our most vulnerable and deplete federal programs will be held accountable.”

“These defendants designed a purposeful scheme to profit from human suffering, targeting individuals at their most vulnerable moments, solely for personal gain,” said Inspector General T. March Bell of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG). “Their callous greed put lives at risk, and such disregard for human dignity is unacceptable. HHS-OIG will continue to work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to ensure that those who defraud federal health care programs and endanger public health are brought to justice.”

“Benefit fraud against public programs isn’t just a crime — it hurts real people, especially the most vulnerable,” said IRS Criminal Investigation Chief Guy Ficco. “These sentencings send a powerful message: cheating a federal program comes with serious consequences. IRS-CI and our law enforcement partners will stop at nothing to track down those who exploit these programs and bring them to justice. If you steal from the public, you will be caught — and you will pay the price.”

Senior Executives Of Telecom Company Charged In Accounting Fraud Scheme

Andrew Warner and Kishore Vangipuram Schemed to Defraud Investment Firm in Connection with Its $915 Million Acquisition of Mobileum, Inc.

United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, and Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, James C. Barnacle, Jr., announced the unsealing of an Indictment charging ANDREW WARNER, the former Chief Financial Officer of Mobileum, Inc., and KISHORE VANGIPURAM, the former Chief of Delivery of Mobileum, with conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud, securities fraud, and wire fraud. The charges in the Indictment arise from an alleged scheme by WARNER and VANGIPURAM to inflate Mobileum’s key financial metrics in advance of the company’s 2022 sale to an investment firm at an enterprise value of $915 million. Mobileum declared bankruptcy in 2024, after the fraud was uncovered. WARNER surrendered in San Jose, California, on Friday and was presented before U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan van Keulen. VANGIPURAM was arrested Friday at the San Francisco International Airport and will be presented today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Kandis A. Westmore. The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge J. Paul Oetken.

“As alleged, Andrew Warner and Kishore Vangipuram manipulated Mobileum’s financial metrics to sell the company at a higher price and, as a result, line their own pockets,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton. “The company’s investors, creditors, and employees deserved fair and complete financial information, not inflated numbers and schemes. When C-Suite executives commit fraud, the women and men of our Office, together with our law enforcement partners, will hold them accountable. That is what investors and the American people want.”

“Andrew Warner and Kishore Vangipuram allegedly exaggerated their company’s fiscal success through doctored billable hours and invoices to defraud an unsuspecting investment firm of nearly one billion dollars,” said FBI Assistant Director in Charge James C. Barnacle, Jr. “These two executives allegedly exploited their respective CFO and CDO positions to betray the trust of an interested buyer out of selfish greed. The FBI continues to protect the integrity of corporate transactions from fraudsters seeking to profit from deceitful practices.”

Zynex, Inc. Agrees to Criminal Resolution Addressing Claims of Millions of Dollars of Health Care Fraud, Securities Fraud and Related Offenses

PROVIDENCE – Zynex, Inc, a Colorado-based medical device company, has agreed to enter into a non-prosecution agreement (NPA) with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Rhode Island and admit to participating in a conspiracy to commit health care fraud, securities fraud, mail fraud, and other violations, announced United States Attorney Charles C. Calenda.

Under the agreement, which is subject to approval of the bankruptcy court in Zynex’s ongoing Chapter 11 proceedings, Zynex will pay between $5 and $12.5 million depending on the company’s earnings and profit over the period of the agreement. Zynex will also forfeit all unpaid claims submitted prior to September 1, 2025, including claims submitted during the period of suspension of TRICARE payments. These forfeited claims include more than $85 million billed to TRICARE during a suspension period and more than $13 million billed to other payors and patients.

In the Statement of Facts included in the NPA, Zynex also admits the following:

Zynex fraudulently obtained millions of dollars from government and private health care payors and patients by submitting excessive and improper claims for medical devices and supplies.

During the relevant period, Zynex collected more than $873 million for its products, including more than $600 million for supplies, the vast majority of which were the result of fraud.

Zynex shipped and billed for medically unnecessary supplies in excess quantities, sometimes as large as 32, 64, or 128 electrode pairs per patient each month.

Zynex misled investors by concealing that its revenues were driven by fraudulent billing practices.

As part of the resolution, Zynex agreed to implement enhanced compliance and corporate governance reforms designed to prevent future misconduct, strengthen internal oversight, and ensure accountability under its new leadership. The company also agreed to fully cooperate with the government’s ongoing investigations.

“This resolution addresses the seriousness of the fraud committed by Zynex while recognizing the substantial turnaround in conduct implemented under new management,” said United States Attorney Charles C. Calenda. “It also demonstrates that when new management confronts the fraudulent conduct, reforms its practices, and fully cooperates, the Government will take those actions into account in reaching an appropriate resolution.”

@IsraelMFA

Israeli Airports Authority:

Contrary to the reports, Tucker Carlson and his entourage were not detained, delayed, or interrogated.

Mr. Carlson and his party were politely asked a few routine questions, in accordance with standard procedures applied to many travelers.

The conversation took place in a separate room within the VIP lounge solely to protect their privacy and to avoid conducting such a discussion in public.

No unusual incident occurred, and the Israel Airports Authority firmly rejects any other claims.

Fiji's former prime minister Frank Bainimarama charged with inciting mutiny

Long-serving Fijian prime minister Frank Bainimarama and ex-police commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho have been charged with inciting mutiny.

The men allegedly encouraged senior military officers to act against the current military commander during a 2023 meeting.

Mr Bainimarama faces an additional charge. He is accused of sending text messages through the Viber messaging app to a senior officer urging him to assume command at the time of the military's first parade of 2023.

Inciting mutiny is an offence under Fiji's crimes act.

The pair were arrested on Monday after questioning at the criminal investigations headquarters in Suva.

REPORT: Pete Hegseth Orders Removal of Top Army Secretary Adviser Linked to Milley Amid Ukraine War Negotiations in Geneva — Promotion List Frozen for Months

by Jim Hᴏft Feb. 17, 2026

According to a Fox News report by Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to remove Colonel Dave Butler from his post as Chief of Army Public Affairs and as the top adviser to the Secretary.

Driscoll, who is currently in Geneva, Switzerland, serving on the U.S. negotiating team tasked with helping end the war in Ukraine.

He was reportedly ordered by Pete Hegseth to remove Butler last week at the Pentagon, according to the Washington Post.

Butler served as the head of public affairs for the Joint Chiefs of Staff under none other than General Mark Milley.

Patriots remember Milley well for his “white rage” comments and his secret calls to China behind President Trump’s back.

Butler was reportedly slated to receive his first star, appearing for two years in a row on an Army list of 34 officers selected for promotion to General. But Pete Hegseth put a stop to it.

Hegseth has reportedly held up that promotion list for nearly four months.

Fox News reports that Col. Butler “volunteered to take his name off the promotion list” if it would help unlock the promotions for the other officers.

“After 28 years of dedicated service, Col. Dave Butler is immediately transitioning from his position as Chief of Army Public Affairs to retire,” Cynthia O. Smith, an Army spokesperson, told The Hill in a statement Tuesday. “His integral role in the Army’s transformation efforts will be missed, and we wish him tremendous success.”

More from the far-left Daily Beast:

Last week, Hegseth demanded that Driscoll fire Butler, according to The Washington Post.

Driscoll had resisted Hegseth’s demands for months, Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin reported.

But several months ago, Butler was included in a list of about three dozen promotion-eligible Army officers that was supposed to be sent to the White House.

ADVICE—Do not blame the Presidential Personnel Office for your failure to pay federal taxes over multiple years during a background investigation (while claiming you did), showing a complete lack of candor, and failing to produce sufficient documentation as requested.

Meanwhile, you're running around telling anyone who will listen in Washington, DC and beyond—that you've gone "above and beyond" in doing so, and how wonderful you are (not the first person to do-so)…

Get a grip, be honest with yourself, and stop blaming PPO for your past when you are not extended an offer, due to not being able to obtain a security clearance for a position…

Be OPEN and HONEST to those that put their name on your referral for a job—It doesn’t look good for them when you blow smoke up everyone’s ass, and they call asking what happened with ____?

It’s embarrassing. BE HONEST! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely, Dan

Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, was identified as the shooter who gunned down at least seven classmates and killed his mother and brother at their home on Tuesday.

Police said the shooter took their own life following the spree, with at least 25 other people wounded at Tumbler Ridge High School in British Columbia, Canada.

Described by police as a 'gun person' who was 'wearing a dress' during the shooting, Van Rootselaar's social media included reams of pro-transgender content.

But the future mass killer also questioned his own mental state and shared disturbing and violent videos and opinions online after starting to live as a girl from the age of 12.

The accounts were identified primarily through Van Rootselaar's mother Jennifer Strang, who in 2011 shared her child's YouTube channel @Jesseboy347, which has since been deleted.

A Twitter account was created under the same name as the YouTube username, with the name JessJessUwU.

The content on this account was far darker and more violent, including references to neo-Nazi literature, pictures of weapons, and the meme acronym 'WAGTFKY' - which stands for 'We are going to f***ing kill you.'

ICYMI: Based on documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice on January 30, 2026, Kevin Warsh, whom President Donald Trump nominated to lead the Federal Reserve in early 2026, was identified in the records related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Here are the key details regarding the connection:

- St. Barts Guest List (2010): Warsh was listed as a guest for a "St. Barth's Christmas 2010" trip in an email sent to Epstein.

- Social Dinners: Documents included his name on a list of attendees for a dinner hosted by British aristocrat William Astor, which was sent to Epstein.

- Context: The documents indicate that Warsh, whose wife is billionaire heiress Jane Lauder,* operated in the same elite social and wealthy circles as Epstein.

- No Evidence of Criminality: The records, which were part of a massive release of millions of documents, do not suggest any wrongdoing or criminal activity by Warsh.

The mention of his name appeared on the same day he was nominated to lead the Federal Reserve.

==Rand Paul Introduces Federal Bill to Strip Vaccine Manufacturers of Nationwide Liability Immunity

S.3853 targets the 1986 legal framework that rerouted vaccine injury claims into a federal compensation system.== 2/15/26

JON FLEETWOOD.1/2

On Wednesday, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced federal legislation that would dismantle the long-standing liability protections shielding vaccine manufacturers from civil lawsuits in the United States.

CDC data confirm millions of injury reports submitted following vaccination, though an HHS–Harvard Pilgrim analysis concluded the agency’s vaccine tracking system captures fewer than 1% of adverse events.

The bill, S.3853, formally titled “A bill to amend the Public Health Service Act to end the liability shield for vaccine manufacturers, and for other purposes,” was introduced on February 11, 2026, and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP).

The measure is cosponsored by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT).

If enacted, the legislation would amend federal law to remove legal protections that have insulated vaccine manufacturers from product-liability lawsuits since 1986.

The Legal Structure Targeted

The liability shield stems from the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP).

Under that framework, individuals claiming vaccine-related injury must generally pursue claims through a federal compensation system rather than through traditional civil litigation.

Manufacturers are broadly protected from design-defect claims and most tort actions in state courts.

The legal architecture was justified at the time as necessary to prevent vaccine market collapse amid rising lawsuits.

S.3853 would directly amend the Public Health Service Act to eliminate those protections.

Although the full statutory text has not yet been published, the bill’s title makes clear that its purpose is not procedural reform but termination of the federal liability shield itself.

What Would Change

If the shield were removed:Vaccine manufacturers could face direct product-liability lawsuits in state and federal courts.

Design-defect claims previously barred under federal law could potentially proceed.

The financial and insurance landscape for vaccine production would shift immediately.

The federal compensation program’s exclusivity could be undermined.

In practical terms,vaccine manufacturers would operate under the same tort frameworkas other pharmaceutical companies whose products are not covered by statutory immunity.

Political & Institutional Implications

The liability protections have been defended for decades by establishment public health officials and pro-vaccine industry groups as essential to maintaining vaccine supply stability.

Critics argue the shield removes market accountabilityand eliminates standard legal recourse available for other medical products.

The introduction ofS.3853 marks a direct legislative challengeto that structure at the federal level.

Historically, measures altering vaccine liability protections have facedresistance from Big Pharma and politicians, many of whom are funded by the medical industry.

The proposal places the issue squarely on the Senate agenda and signals thatthe liability question is no longer confined to academic or activist debate.

It is now a live legislative matter on the national level.

Whether S.3853 advances or stalls in committee will determine whether Congress is willing to reopen one of the most entrenched public health legal frameworks in modern U.S. law.

“You Had Me at Hello”: Newsom and AOC Go to Europe to Pitch High Tax, High Regulation Policies

Below is my column in The Hill on the recent appearance of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) in Munich.They found the perfect audience for pledging to reverse many current policies and re-embrace a high-taxation, high-regulation platform. The Europeans were giddy with excitement as they doubled down on policies that have stagnated many of their economies.

Here is the column:

This week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) joined the many Californians now seeking their fortune elsewhere. The difference is that Newsom is planning to come back to California, even as billionaires, investors, and companies flee his state for greener pastures.

Newsom and Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) were selling a brave new world that looked a lot like the broken old world. It was an ironic moment. They were addressing countries at the Munich Security Conference that had previously destroyed their economies through socialist and far-left policies.

The rush of liberal Democratic officeholders to Europe was telling. A new poll shows that a record 58 percent of voters believe their party is “too liberal.” But Newsom and Ocasio-Cortez found a welcoming audience in Europe.

The global elite gushed over Ocasio-Cortez and sat enraptured as she rattled off socialist platitudes. That included New York Times correspondent Katrin Bennhold, who thrilled the audience by treating it as a given that Ocasio-Cortez will run for president.

Both Newsom and Ocasio-Cortez spoke of returning the U.S. to the good graces of the global elite. Newsom assured the Europeans that Trump’s reign is temporary, and that the U.S. will soon enough dismantle the “wrecking ball” that the administration has taken to the EU.

Newsom offered his leadership and his state as the model, proclaiming that “California is a stable and reliable partner” for Europe. The model includes high taxes, massive spending programs and greater bureaucratic regulations — precisely the policies that have driven the European economy into its current stagnation. In other words, Democrats were in Europe to offer precisely what Newsom outwardly condemned: “doubling down on stupid.”

When not fumbling with security questions about issues such as Taiwan, Ocasio-Cortez was demanding that wealth taxes be implemented in the U.S. “expeditiously.” Such a tax on billionaires’ wealth, including unrealized gains, is currently being pushed in California. The predictable result is that billionaires and other wealthy citizens are rushing to leave the state and taking their investments and companies with them.

Ocasio-Cortez had the audience at hello.

Rather than having Vice President J.D. Vance shaming them for their attacks on free speech,the Europeans positively gushed over Democratic leaders pushing far-left agendas. It did not matter that such policies devastated European economies in the 20th century.

2/2

In my book “Rage and the Republic,”I discuss the rise of support for socialism in both the U.S. and Europe. Many of those supporting it are young voters with no memory of the collapse of socialist economies in the 20th Century. In 1977, Labour Prime Minister James Callaghan pursued many of the same socialist policies, leading to what was called the “winter of discontent” as inflation hit 25 percent. With the collapse of the British pound, the United Kingdom had to take the demoralizing step of securing a loan from the International Monetary Fund, as if it were a developing country.

In France, François Mitterrand was also elected to pursue his “rupture with capitalism.”The French economy collapsed; Mitterrand quickly had to reverse himself and restore capitalist policies.

That history is rarely discussed or taught today. The “warmth of collectivism,” as New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani put it, is back in vogue. It does not matter that, in Argentina, President Javier Milei is achieving one of the most impressive economic turnarounds in history — dramatically curtailing runaway inflation, government deficits and poverty — by reinstating free-market policies and reducing government spending.

What is chilling about Europe is that the EU has strangled growth with its increasingly centralized controls and massive bureaucracy. My book describes the instability of the EU and its global governance model. Europe is facing populist movements and, like many Democrats, the response has been calls for further consolidation of power. This included the creation of a new, uniform European corporate law, known as the “28th Regime.”

With an economy crushed by a massive EU bureaucracy and regulations, the solution of many is all too familiar: borrow more money. French President Emmanuel Macron and others want to issue “Euro bonds” to spend their way into an economic recovery — another policy ideal shared with many on the American left.

This week was only the latest effort of the American left to strengthen an alliance with the EU. Previously, American leaders such as Hillary Clinton pushed the EU to censor Americans online after free speech protections were restored by companies like Twitter. Likewise, the American left is enamored with the EU’s global bureaucracy and regulations.

Newsom and Ocasio-Cortez certainly found their element in Munich, and the EU certainly found the “reliable partners” it has longed for in creating “a new World Order with European Values.”

There's A Pattern of Sexual Abuse Within The British Government...

If you’ve been following recent UK political scandals, you’ve probably seen individual stories surface in the news. But what happens when you step back and look at the bigger picture?

In this video, we examine a growing pattern of sexual misconduct scandals, criminal investigations, and controversial political appointments connected to figures across UK government and party structures. From councillors and MPs facing serious allegations, to historic safeguarding failures and controversial peerage decisions, this investigation looks at the timeline, the connections, and the questions many people feel still haven’t been fully answered.

We analyse documented cases, tribunal findings, official reports, and publicly reported investigations to explore whether these scandals represent isolated incidents — or something more systemic.

This video also examines:

• The Matthew Doyle peerage controversy

• Links between political figures and convicted offenders

• Recent criminal investigations involving MPs and councillors

• The Rotherham grooming scandal and its long-term political fallout

• Questions around vetting, accountability, and safeguarding failures

• The wider political and institutional response to sexual abuse allegations

This is not commentary based on rumours or speculation. Every case discussed is based on publicly reported information, official findings, or ongoing criminal proceedings where clearly stated.

US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere

The U.S. State Department is developing an online portal that will enable people in Europe and elsewhere to see content banned by their governments including alleged hate speech and terrorist propaganda, a move Washington views as a way to counter censorship, three sources familiar with the plan said.

The site will be hosted at "freedom.gov," the sources said. One source said officials had discussed including a virtual private network function to make a user's traffic appear to originate in the U.S. and added that user activity on the site will not be tracked.

Headed by Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy Sarah Rogers, the project was expected to be unveiled at last week's Munich Security Conference but was delayed, the sources said.

Reuters could not determine why the launch did not happen, but some State Department officials, including lawyers, have raised concerns about the plan, two of the sources said, without detailing the concerns.

The project could further strain ties between the Trump administration and traditional U.S. allies in Europe, already heightened by disputes over trade, Russia’s war in Ukraine and President Donald Trump’s push to assert control over Greenland.

The portal could also put Washington in the unfamiliar position of appearing to encourage citizens to flout local laws.

In a statement to Reuters, a State Department spokesperson said the U.S. government does not have a censorship-circumvention program specific to Europe but added: “Digital freedom is a priority for the State Department, however, and that includes the proliferation of privacy and censorship-circumvention technologies like VPNs."

The spokesperson denied any announcement had been delayed and said it was inaccurate that State Department lawyers had raised concerns.

The Trump administration has made free speech, particularly what it sees as the stifling of conservative voices online, a focus of its foreign policy including in Europe and in Brazil.

Europe's approach to free speech differs from the U.S., where the Constitution protects virtually all expression. The European Union's limits grew from efforts to fight any resurgence of extremist propaganda that fueled Nazism including its vilification of Jews, foreigners and minorities.

U.S. officials have denounced EU policies that they say are suppressing right-wing politicians, including in Romania, Germany and France, and have claimed rules like the EU's Digital Services Act and Britain's Online Safety Act limit free speech.

The EU delegation in Washington, which acts like an embassy for the 27-country bloc, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the U.S. plan.

In rules that fall most heavily on social media sites and large platforms like Meta's (META.O)

, opens new tab Facebook and X, the EU restricts the availability — and in some cases requires rapid removal — of content classified as illegal hate speech, terrorist propaganda or harmful disinformation under a group of rules, laws and decisions since 2008.

Iatrogenocide: Notes for a Political Philosophy of Epidemiology and Science

Paperback – March 8, 2017

by Charles Ortleb (Author)

Iatrogenocide is a book bound to cause a shift in our understanding of epidemiology and science.In the tradition of Thomas Kuhn, Charles Ortleb has looked beneath the hood of science and exposed the cultural, social, and political inner workings of an intellectual endeavor that affects the lives of everyone.

His journey to his new political philosophy of epidemiology and science began in 1981 when he was the publisher and editor-in-chief of New York Native, a newspaper with a national gay readership in New York City. His newspaper wasn’t even a year old when the first report appeared in the media about what would become known as the AIDS epidemic. He is widely credited with being the first publisher and editor-in-chief to take the epidemic seriously and to use a newspaper’s resources to dig into the story.

New York Native’s coverage of the epidemic was so thorough that, in Rolling Stone, David Black said it deserved a Pulitzer Prize. As the epidemic unfolded, Ortleb oversaw the work of a number of talented journalists and writers who helped turn New York Native into the paper of record (and conscience) for the AIDS epidemic as well as its intertwined epidemic of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which was concealed by all kinds of political legerdemain.

The thoughts in this volume were culled from notebooks in which he began to work out his ideas for a political philosophy of epidemiology and science. He has concluded that what we think of as the epidemiology and science of AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are essentially a corrupted hard drive. Because of sexual and racial bigotry, virtually all of the science and conducted on that hard drive is false even though it has the appearance of being rational, progressive, and normal. A bold new kind of political philosophy of epidemiology and science has helped him understand how that hard drive got corrupted in the first place. The thoughts in this book will help show a way forward for anyone who wants to fix that hard drive.

During his experience of watching the AIDS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome disaster unfold, Ortleb realized that only a new political philosophy of epidemiology and science could awaken people to what has really happened. A biomedical crime against humanity was being committed, but even serious intellectuals like Susan Sontag and many others could not perceive what was occurring before their very eyes. They could only see the surface of what was happening because they did not fully understand the intense political nature of epidemiology and science. They trusted and they did not verify what the scientific establishment was telling them. Public health is now in a state of peril because the best and the brightest were asleep at the switch.

In addition to Thomas Kuhn, Ortleb's thinking has been heavily influenced by the work of Hannah Arendt, George Orwell, Isaiah Berlin, Sartre, and Camus. Like these thinkers and writers, his work is both analytical and creative. His background as a poet, journalist, humorist, and fiction writer has helped him craft one of the liveliest books of philosophical thoughts of our time.

Charles Ortleb is the author of numerous books including Truth to Power, the definitive history of the AIDS epidemic. His most recent works of fiction are Pig: A Memoir and The Stonewall Massacre.

Andrew is arrested and held in custody on his birthday after dramatic police raid on his home at Sandringham amid probe into Epstein files

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on his 66th birthday today and is in police custody after a raid on his new Sandringham home.

Thames Valley Police said the eighth in line to the British throne was held on suspicion of misconduct in public office this morning.

Detectives have been probing his conduct as a trade envoy for the UK after emails in the Epstein Files suggested he shared confidential information with his paedophile friend including reports on official visits and potential investment opportunities.

100% Of All Teenage School Shooters In 52 Years Were On An SSRI Antidepressant Medication.

Dr Bryan Ardis

Every One Of These Drugs Has A Black Box Warning: To Cause Aggressive Violent Behavior & Homicidal Actions.

The Warning Stresses Extreme Caution To Those Under Age 24.

The Black Box is the most severe warning the FDA can place on a drug short of an outright ban. Warning that antidepressant usage for children and adolescents may increase the risk of suicidality & violence.

Columbia University led an independent study. The conclusion of this meta-analysis using the data was that the use of all antidepressants increased the risks of suicidality & violent behavior among pediatric patients.

As a result, the Black Box Warning was added to all SSRI medications.

Common SSRI Antidepressants Prescribed To Adolescents:

Citalopram (Celexa)

Fluvoxamine (Luvox)

Paroxetine (Paxil)

Escitalopram (Lexapro)

Fluoxetine (Prozac)

Sertraline (Zoloft)

Venlafaxine (Effexor)

Mirtazapine (Remeron)

Nefazodone (Serzone)

Bupropion (Wellbutrin) NDRI Add-On to SSRI

The Black Box Warning Lists These Alarming Symptoms To Watch For:

Increased Anxiety

Increased Panic Attacks

Agitation

Irritability

Hostility

Aggressiveness

Violence

Impulsivity

Hypomania

Mania

Akathisia

Insomnia

1 in 4 Youth have a mental health diagnosis & many are prescribed an SSRI Antidepressant. Despite their increasing prevalence, there is the unintended outcomes of SSRIs - with one area of concern being aggression & violence.

A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) found an almost three-fold increase of serious aggression outcomes in child & adolescent antidepressant users.

The very 1st SSRI was synthesized in 1971. Zimelidine (brand names Normud & Zelmid) was the 1st historical selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant to be marketed. It caused depression to spiral into suicidality, violent thoughts & Guillain Barre Syndrome.

Spanning 54 years of SSRI development, in 2025 the newest SSRI is targeted towards mothers experiencing postpartum depression with the antidepressant Zuranolone (Zurzuvae). This SSRI causes grave side effects & worsening of violent thought symptoms.

INCOME TAX: WA Senate Republican Budget Leader Chris Gildon comments on the majority progressives passing legislation to create a state income tax (SB 6346). SB 6346 was passed with a 27-22 vote with bi-partisan opposition:

“This would be the largest tax increase in our state’s history at a time when Washington is already bringing in record revenue. If the supporters were truly committed to limiting this tax to ‘high earners,’ they would propose changing the state constitution.

“Instead, they passed a bill that could be converted into a universal income tax by changing just a few words – and call that ‘flexibility.’ The people of Washington will see it for what it is – an open door to make this a tax on everyone.

“The supporters also claim this is about fairness. If that were the case, the majority of the projected revenue would be directed toward lowering the cost of living for lower- and middle-income families. Instead, 80 percent of it would be routed straight into the general fund.

“This tax isn’t about reform. It isn’t about relief. It’s about tapping taxpayers to fund even more government that they don’t need. We can’t afford to go down this path.”

The fight over SB 6346 now moves to the House. Legislative Republicans are dead-set on defeating SB 6346. WA families and individuals need tax relief, not ever-increasing taxes.

Hi John,

Our Russian friend's name is Paulina Zelitsky. She has an arrangement with the Cuban government whereby she is allowed to use a converted trawler (the Ulysses) to survey Cuban waters for archaeological resources, primarily sunken treasure ships (the big prize is Cortez's ship which reputedly was laden with gold objects that the Spaniards had not had time to melt down into gold bricks. The ship went down in a storm somewhere off the coast of Cuba. If she finds it, it will be huge news.). In the course of her searchingshe has come across some unusual formations which she says are too symmetrical to be anything but man made. The problem is that the formation is some 2000 ft deep.We have access to the right equipment but the timing and costs (as well as Paulina's personality) have presented obstacles to launching the expedition. Some discrete inquiries might be helpful and obviously any support from the top cant be bad either. Thanks, Terry

PS This one is truly a high risk venture in that you wont know what is down there until spending a fair amount of money.

PPS I have some images of the types of objects she says she has found and will email separately.

King Charles releases statement as Andrew arrested

THE King has said “the law must take its course” after expressing his “deepest concern” over the arrest of his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

News broke of his brother's arrest this morning, after Andrew was under renewed scrutiny since the publication of the "Epstein files" in the US suggested he had leaked his paedophile friend sensitive government documents.

Plain-clothes officers were seen outside Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where the former prince has been living, earlier on Thursday, which is also the disgraced royal's birthday.

It is understood neither the King nor Buckingham Palace was informed in advance of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest.

The King has said in a written statement: “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.

“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.

“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.

“Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.

“As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.

“Charles R.”

Andrew is the first senior royal in modern history to be arrested.

The force said on Thursday: "As part of the investigation [into misconduct in public office], we have today (19/2) arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk.

"The man remains in police custody at this time.

"We will not be naming the arrested man, as per national guidance. Please also remember that this case is now active so care should be taken with any publication to avoid being in contempt of court."

The King is set to open London Fashion Week later today the Queen is taking part in an engagement in Westminster at Sinfonia Smith Square where she will attend a lunchtime orchestral concert.

Searches are being carried out at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk, the force said.

Emails released by the US Department of Justice appeared to show the former duke sharing reports of official visits to Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore.

One email, dated November 2010, appeared to be forwarded by Andrew five minutes after being sent by his then-special adviser Amir Patel.

Another, on Christmas Eve 2010, appeared to send Epstein a confidential brief on investment opportunities in the reconstruction of Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Andrew has denied any wrongdoing over his Epstein links, but has not directly responded to the latest allegations.

Interesting.

72 Sects (Firqah): One of the most commonly cited references is from a hadith in which Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said that his Ummah (community) would split into 73 sects, with 72 of them going to Hell and only one (the correct path) entering Paradise. This is often cited in discussions about religious unity and orthodoxy.

Houri in Paradise: The idea of 72 virgins (houri) in Islamic paradise originates from certain hadiths, though the term "virgins" is a misinterpretation. The correct term is houri, which refers to beautiful, pure companions in Paradise. The number 72 is not explicitly mentioned in the Quran but appears in later hadith collections. Scholars note that this number may have been exaggerated or symbolic, possibly influenced by cultural or literary traditions.

Cultural and Religious Precedents: The number 72 appears frequently in other religious and cultural traditions, such as the 72 disciples sent by Jesus in Luke 10, the 72 translators of the Septuagint, and the 72 names of God in Jewish Kabbalah. This suggests a broader symbolic or mystical significance across Abrahamic and ancient traditions, possibly influencing its use in Islamic eschatology.

Academic Perspectives: Some scholars and researchers argue that the concept of 72 virgins is a misrepresentation or exaggeration by later generations, possibly used to motivate early Muslim converts during times of conflict. Others suggest the number symbolizes abundance and divine reward rather than literal sexual fulfillment.

In summary, while 72 is not a central number in the Quran itself, it is significant in hadith literature, particularly concerning sectarian division and the nature of Paradise. Interpretations vary widely, and many modern scholars emphasize symbolic rather than literal meanings.

Follow-Up

I try not to ever editorialize my postings of the daily Q Deltas and Q Posts, but today I realized that this is the anniversary of a day on which Q so kindly replied to me, in Q Post #2821, on February 19, 2019.

What surprised me about this is that Q made the effort to link to a prior bred in order to respond to me, on what was an extraordinarily difficult night.

I mention it now because this level of attention to us mere Anons, and the seemingly insignificant nature of our daily struggles (such as mine that night, having to lay our beloved elderly dog to rest), just underscores how special this Military Operation is.

In case you're wondering: this was the Q post that inspired me to step up my game, both by keeping track of the Deltas and Posts, and also by expanding on the research and writing that I do in real life.

Once I realized that Post #2821 had such a deep personal meaning to me, it dawned on me that every other Q post is equally (or more) important, whether we realize it or not.

That is what reminded me that we should be careful to read and re-read the Q posts as often as possible.

This also demonstrates to me what a powerful and loving team we are, together, in this military-civilian alliance (aka counterinsurgency).

I was fortunate to have been raised in a very patriotic military family so I was gifted with my undying love of God and country.

In high school I took the Officer Candidate Test at a local National Guard location and I scored very high.

But physical ailments prevented me from being able to join the United States Military, so I did other meaningful things with my life, but I always wished I could have done more, like my relatives had done for our country.

What a gift it is, today, to be in a position to help fight for the United States of America, the United States Constitution, and the United States citizenry without even being an enlisted member or a veteran.

In other words, through the Q posts I was inspired to step up and deliver, and it is a true gift to be able to help because I see the great changes that have happened, and I know of moar good things to come.

In light of today being the anniversary of this very special post from Q, I thought I would mention why it was so life-altering for me, and how it inspired me to lawfully fight, fight, fight, and never, ever, quit.

For God and country.

Forlesia Cook Gives Passionate Defense of President Trump: “Get off his back, let the man do his job”…

February 19, 2026 | Sundance |

Forlesia Cook, a grandmother who lost her grandson to violence, delivered a brief and powerful testimonial supporting President Trump. Many naysayers, beyond just the DHS security issues, would be well-served to listen to her advice.

Mrs Cook spoke during a Black History Month reception at the White House, pushing back on claims that President Trump is racist. As noted by this passionate grandma, President Trump gave her a voice when others ignored her.

Cook’s 22-year-old grandson, Marty William McMillan Jr., was brutally murdered in cold blood in 2017 after meeting someone online. He left home to meet a woman he connected with on the Plenty of Fish dating app. He never came back. His remains were discovered months later on the side of a highway in Maryland, shot seven times {SOURCE}.

CIA knew about Kiev plot to blow up Nord Stream – Der Spiegel

“It’s good,” the US agency told Ukrainian saboteurs about the plan, according to a source

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) discussed a plan to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Seawith Ukrainian saboteurs, German outlet Der Spiegel has reported, citing sources in Kiev.

Berlin apparently believes the September 2022 explosions that crippled the key connectors that delivered Russian gas to Germanywere detonated by several Ukrainian frogmen who, possibly with the assistance of Poland, allegedly rented a small yacht, sailed into the Baltic and blew up the pipelines.

Moscow has repeatedly expressed deep skepticism over this German version of events, highlighting then US-president Joe Biden’s open threats to blow up the pipeline, the presence of NATO ships above the explosion sites in the weeks prior to the blasts and arguing that such an operation could not have been executed without direct government assistance.

According to the latest Der Spiegel report, Ukrainian agents told the CIA about a plot to destroy Nord Stream in spring 2022, during a series of meetings following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.

The Americans “apparently liked the plan,” the Ukrainian sources told the outlet, and the two sides exchanged technical details about the operation, reportedly code-named ‘Diameter’.

The US agents “told our boys: ‘that’s good, that’s fine’” about the plan to target the pipelines, a person familiar with the conversations told the outlet, noting an impression that the US was willing to finance such an operation.

According to Der Spiegel,in early summer 2022, the Americans changed their stance, saying that they could not support the operation and would not provide moneyfor its execution, according to the report.

Der Spiegelclaimed that Washington then actively tried to prevent the sabotage of the pipelines, but the Ukrainians went ahead with the plan anyway.

In February 2022, then US President JoeBiden warnedthat in the event of an all-outmilitary conflict between Russia and Ukraine, “there will no longer be a Nord Stream. We will bring an end to it.”

A year later, veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a report claiming that Biden had given the order to destroy the pipelines.Hersh’s source claimed that US Navy divers mined Nord Stream using the cover of NATO drills. The White House called the report “complete fiction.”

Senior Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, have previously pointed the finger at the US as the possible culprit behind the explosions. Washington had the technical means to carry out the operation andstood to gain the most from it, considering that the attack disrupted Russian energy supplies to the EUandforced a shift to more expensive American-supplied liquefied natural gas.

Bill Gates pulls out of India AI summit amid Epstein files fallout

The billionaire was due to deliver the keynote speech, but cancelled as pressure mounted over his ties to the late sex offender

Bill Gates has pulled out of a keynote speech at the AI Impact Summit in India amid mounting pressure in the South Asian country over his ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Gates arrived in India a few days before he was scheduled to speak, and has met top elected officials in the state of Andhra Pradesh to discuss projects implemented by his foundation.

Rumors began circulating on Tuesday that he would not speak at the event, prompting the Gates Foundation to insist that the billionaire, who divorced in the aftermath of his exposure as a close confidant of Epstein, would attend and address the summit.

However, it later retracted this statement. “After careful consideration, and to ensure the focus remains on the AI Summit’s key priorities, Mr. Gates will not be delivering his keynote address,” the foundation said on Thursday.

Allegations that Epstein knew Gates hid a sexually transmitted disease from his then-wife surfaced in the latest Epstein files – the trove of 3 million pages of documents, thousands of videos and 180,000 images from the Epstein Estate released by the US Justice Department.

The documents expose close relations between the notorious pedophile sex trafficker and prominent political, business, and tech leaders, including ex-British ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson, Bill Clinton and Gates.

A spokesperson for Gateshas called claims in the files“absolutely absurd and completely false.” The billionaire has said he “regrets” knowing Epstein.

“Every minute I spent with him, I regret,”Gates told Australia’s 9 News earlier this month. (Standard bullshit quote)

News of Gates making the keynote speech at the Delhi AI Summitinvited the wrath of several Indian opposition politicians and social activists. He has also been accused of using India as his “laboratory” for ongoing research.(they know)

Ankur Vora, president of its Africa and India offices of the Gates Foundation took the billionaire’s place at the summit.

On Thursday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for companies to emphasise child safety when developing AI models. “Friends, from the beginning we have to be more vigilant towards children’s safety,” he said. “Just like a school syllabus is curated, AI spaces should also be child safe and family guided.”

The Gates Foundation has said it is heavily investing in AI to improve global health, education, and development, focusing on equity in low- and middle-income countries. It aims to help health workers and reduce poverty.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrest

But although an investigation is now taking place, we are still a long way away from a potential prosecution.

“Misconduct in public office is very difficult to prove. Authorities would have to find clear evidence that Andrew knowingly abused or exploited his position, which is easier said than done.

“More likely, investigators will be using this as the basis to scrutinise his relationship with Epstein even further, and in doing so build a case that Andrew participated in some way in Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation.

“His home can now be searched and formal questions can be put to him at interview.”

As a common law offence, misconduct in public office is not defined in any statute and, according to the Law Commission, is an offence that is “widely considered to be ill-defined and has been subject to recent criticism”.

Republican Chad Bianco Vows to Support ‘Path to Citizenship’ for Illegal Aliens if Elected California Governor

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco (R) is vowing to support a “path to citizenship” for millions of illegal aliens in the United States if elected governor of California, going as far as to say he would lobby President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress to pass such an amnesty.

President Trump [Board of Peace Event]: We work together to ensure the brighter future for the people of Gaza, the Middle East, and the entire world. I think that the Board of Peace; because it's mostly leaders, and unbelievably respected people, but mostly leaders of Middle Eastern countries. Countries from all over the world.

IC 2574: Coddington's Nebula

Grand spiral galaxies often seem to get all the glory, flaunting their young, bright, blue star clusters in beautiful, symmetric spiral arms. But small, irregular galaxies form stars too. In fact, dwarf galaxy IC 2574 shows clear evidence of intense star forming activity in its telltale reddish regions of glowing hydrogen gas. Just as in spiral galaxies, the turbulent star-forming regions in IC 2574 are churned by stellar winds and supernova explosions spewing material into the galaxy's interstellar medium and triggering further star formation. A mere 12 million light-years distant, IC 2574 is part of the M81 group of galaxies, seen toward the northern constellation Ursa Major. Also known as Coddington's Nebula, the faint but intriguing island universe is about 50,000 light-years across, discovered by American astronomer Edwin Coddington in 1898.

Ukrainian disruption of Russian oil pipeline triggers emergency in EU state

Slovakia will dip into its strategic reserves to compensate for Kiev’s refusal to transit crude

Slovakia has declared a state of emergency following Ukraine’s decision to block vital Russian oil supplies to the country, TASR news agency has reported.

The state of emergency will be in effect from Thursday until September 30 at the latest, it added, citingKiev’s refusal to transit Russian oil to the countryand the ongoing blockade of the Druzhba pipeline network.

The Slovak government will release strategic oil reserves to ensure one month of operation for the country’s only refinery, in Bratislava, the agency wrote on Wednesday.

Slovakia will also import oil via Croatia’s Adria pipeline, an alternative route bypassing Druzhba, although that supply could take up to 30 days to reach the facility.

Slovak Economy Minister Denisa Sakova said the Czech government was also examining possibilities for supplying oil to Bratislava.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico announced after a government meeting on Wednesdaythat oil company Slovnaft was stopping the export of diesel to Ukraine, with all products now destined for the domestic market. (Aren’t all military equipment using diesel?)

He also previously stated thatSlovakia may stop supplying electricity to Ukraineover the suspension of oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline. According to him, Ukraine’s VladimirZelensky is refusing to cooperate on the issue.

While Ukraine has claimed the transit halt was caused by a Russian attack in late January, Slovakia and neighboring Hungary have insisted the pipeline is operational,but oil is not flowing due to a political decision in Kiev.

Fico saidon Sunday that Kiev had delayed the restart of oil flows in orderto pressure Budapest to drop its veto on Ukraine’s future EU membership. Orban has vowed to block any accelerated accession, warning that admitting the country would drag the bloc into direct conflict with Russia.

Hungary and Slovakia are heavily dependent on Russian crude and hold exemptions from EU sanctions allowing them to import Russian crude by sea if pipeline transit becomes impossible. On Monday,Budapest announced plans to invoke the temporary exemption and import seaborne Russian crude via Croatia.

US Justice Department issues new ‘Russiagate’ subpoenas – AP

President Donald Trump has demanded jail time for the spies who accused him of colluding with Russia

The US Department of Justice has reportedly issued a fresh round of subpoenas, as it continues to investigate the campaign by President Donald Trump’s opponents to undermine his 2016 victory with claims of “Russian interference.”

The move was reported by the Associated Press on Wednesday, citing anonymous sources within the Justice Department. According to these sources, the department is seeking documents compiled since January 2017, when US intelligence agencies issued a statement alleging that Russia conspired with the Trump campaign to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

It is unclear whether the subpoenas will lead to any criminal charges.

The 2017 statement, issued jointly by all 17 US intelligence agencies, claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally “approved and directed” a cyber-warfare and influence campaign against the Clinton campaign. Controversially, it included in its appendices a summary of the so-called ‘Steele dossier’, a Democrat-funded report compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.

Steele’s primary source later admitted that he fed Steele a collection of “rumor and speculation,” and a report by White House Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

Back in November, the Justice Department subpoenaed former CIA Director John Brennan and other officials involved in producing the January 2017 assessment. Brennan told a 2023 Congressional hearing that the CIA “was not involved at all with”the decision to include the Steele dossier in the assessment. Republican lawmakers claim that this was a lie, and referred Brennan to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution last October.

Trump has maintained for years that the ‘Russiagate’ investigation was a politically-motivated “witch hunt” designed to undermine his first term in office, and has demanded retribution against those involved. “What they did is a disgrace,” he told reporters last year. “They should be [arrested] because they’re crooked and they got caught.”

While the investigation began in 2017, the FBI used the Steele dossier a year earlier to obtain a warrant to wiretap Trump’s campaign. The Justice Department’s inspector general later found that former FBI Director JamesComey omitted key information when he was applying for the warrant, which would have resulted in its rejection.

The DOJ must have found more information and people involved.

When I took office, the war in Gaza was raging, with thousands of people being killed, and no end in sight. Today, thanks to unrelenting diplomacy and the commitment of many of the great people in this room; we have fifty-nine countries signed up on Gaza. Think of that. It's amazing.

Zuckerberg testifies in social media addiction trial

The Meta boss has claimed that Instagram doesn’t hook kids, but internal documents suggest otherwise

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has rejected allegations that his Instagram platform deliberately targets children and damages their mental health, in a trial that could open the floodgates to a wave of judgments against the social media giant.

Zuckerberg took the stand in a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday. The plaintiff in the lawsuit, a 20-year-old California woman known as ‘Kaley’, alleges that she developed anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia after becoming addicted to Instagram, YouTube, and other social media platforms as a pre-teen.

Alphabet, which owns YouTube, is also named as a defendant in the case, while TikTok and Snap settled with Kaley out of court. Dozens of parents who blame these platforms for their children’s mental health problems or death by suicide attended the trial, and around 1,600 similar lawsuits are pending.

Zuckerberg denied deliberately designing Instagram to keep users scrolling,but was presented with internal documents revealing that Meta judged average time spent on the platform as a “milestone” for success. Healso denied targeting preteen usersin contravention of Instagram’s ban on under-13s.Again, he was shown internal documents that cast doubt on his defense.

“If we want to win big with teens, we must bring them in as tweens,” read a slide in a 2018 presentation.Another document from 2015 showed how an estimated 30% of 10-12-year-olds in the US were using Instagram, while anotherrevealed that Meta aimed to increase the amount of screen time 10-year-olds spent on the platform.

Zuckerberg claimed that he did not “remember the context” of the latter document, andadmitted that it is “very difficult” to prevent under-13s from lying about their age to set up accounts. Instagram only began requiring users to enter a date of birth in 2019. Previously, users were simply asked to confirm that they were over 13.

Meta’s lawyers argued that Instagram’s features –including ‘beauty’ filters mimicking the effects of plastic surgery – do not cause mental health issues by themselves. Kaley’s issues, they claimed, stem from her troubled childhood. In a statement released on Wednesday, a company spokesperson said that “the evidence will show she faced many significant, difficult challenges well before she ever used social media.”(pathetic argument)

However,Meta’s own researchers found that teens who claimed Instagram made them feel bad about their bodies were shown more “eating disorder adjacent content” than those who did not, Reuters reported in October. Just under half of USteens feel that social media use has a “mostly negative” impact on their mental health, a Pew Research survey found last year.

The Meta lawsuit comes amid a wider push for regulation of social media companies in the West. Multiple European countries – including France, Greece, and Spain – have announced plans to ban social media use by children younger than 15 or 16. These bans have been bundled with legislation punishing platforms for “hate speech” and “disinformation,” a move that the US has fiercely condemned.

(Why did META get medical experts to answer the questions instead of lawyers? Probably because doctors would tell the truth.)

EU nation bans Chinese cars from military sites

The Polish armed forces has claimed the vehicles could pose a security risk and be used for spying

The Polish Army on Tuesday imposed a ban on Chinese-made vehicles, barring them from entering high-security installations. The modern,advanced cars are capable of “uncontrolled acquisition and use of data” and could be used for espionage purposes, it argues.

The army said the measure pertains only to high-security sites, while access to publicly accessible military locations, such as hospitals, garrison clubs, or libraries, will not be restricted.

The cars may still be allowed at the off-limits sites if certain functions are disabled and they comply with other safeguardsimplemented by the specific facility, the army explained.

The restriction is reminiscent of moves taken byseveral nations in recent years over fears that sophisticated Chinese-made vehicles could harvest data through their sensors and cameras, funneling it to their manufacturers. The latter, in turn, could share it with the Chinese government, some have argued.

No solid proof of malicious activities, however, has been presented by any of the nations that have clamped down on Chinese cars. Beijing has repeatedly denied allegations the automobiles or their components could be used for spying, dismissing such claims as “rumors” and “disinformation.”

Late last year, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly ordered the removal of some 700 Chinese vehicles, mainly Chery Tiggo 8 Pro plug-in hybrids, which were being used by military officers.

The IDF reportedly gave in to concerns the cars could be sending data to China, including audio and video. Apart from recalling state-issued vehicles, the force also reportedly implemented a blanket ban, barring them from entering military installations.

https://www.rt.com/news/632747-poland-military-chinese-cars/

The US more proved and warned more than 8 years ago, that Chinese inserted spying devices in all US ships and equipment, were filled with spying devices. So it’s a fait accompli that it’s happening in the cars and everything else they send, like our TVs.

And if they join us, that'll be great, if they don't join us, that'll be great too. But it'll be a very different path. They cannot continue to threaten the stability of the entire region, and they must make a deal, or if that doesn't happen; I maybe can understand; if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, but bad things will happen if it doesn't.

President Trump: Together we can achieve the dream of bringing lasting harmony to a region tortured by centuries of war, suffering, and carnage; they say three thousand years. And hopefully we can lift up the eyes of the world to envision whether intractable conflicts can be settled. So many conflicts, they'd say, are impossible to settle. We got 'em settled. We got; those eight that we settled, most of them were said to be not settleable. And they not only got settled, they got settled within days. More impossible problems can be solved as we go along this very beautiful path. I think it's a beautiful path. I think it's such an important day. Even the weather's beautiful. We walk in, it's beautiful. Everything's beautiful. But the ancient wounds can be healed; they are indeed ancient. This has been going on for so many centuries, that our entire planet will be a better, safer, more beautiful, and more peaceful place for us all.

The Babylon Conspiracy viewed from two angles

By Rhoda Wilson on February 19, 2026

Two perspectives of the Babylonian conspiracy detail how ancient mystical religions practised by a few from ancient bloodlines have ruled and influenced history and still do today.

With over 30 years of research, Gary Wayne links the bloodlines of today’s Royal families to “men of renown” in history and pre-history, including Nimrod, the first tyrant post-flood and founder of the first world empire at Babel, Babylon. In his book, Wayne argues that the descendants of these “men of renown” plan to enslave humanity, as they had done before Noah’s flood.

Matthew Ehret links the Babylonians to Henry Kissinger’s 2012 prophecy that “in 10 years, there will be no more Israel.” Ehret argues that Kissinger was the “midwife to New Babylon.”

The two sources complement rather than contradict each other, the major difference being the two men approach the same subject matter from different angles.

SAN ANTONIO - Investigators with the Texas Attorney General’s Election Integrity Divisionexecuted search warrants in multiple counties this week, including Bexar County.

One of those served was political consultant Joann Ramon, who is working on several local races, including County Judge Peter Sakai’s campaign against former San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg.

As part of our review of campaign finance records and ballot request packets tied to those races,we identified a separate issue affecting voters who applied to vote by mail.

Bexar County Elections Administrator Michelle Carewsaid hundreds of mail ballot applications were rejected for missing required information, including the checkbox selecting a Democratic or Republican primary and whether the voter wanted ballots for the entire election cycle.

Carew saidthe rejected applications came from packets sent out by Nirenberg’s campaign.

Nirenberg’s campaign consultant,Dr. Laura Barberena, sent the following statement:

“Our application was incomplete due to a missing check box. Immediately upon learning of this, we contacted the Elections Department and called and texted every voter who received our application to ensure they could reapply for a ballot before the deadline.”

Another San Antonio Political consultant, Veronica Gonzalez, said customized applications sent by campaigns can create problems for voters.

“The problem with candidates and campaigns customizingthese applications for voters to request their ballots by mail, it creates a new barrier,” Gonzalez said. “Because when there is an error made, then the voter is going to receive a letter from the elections office. It could cause confusion because as far as they knew, they already received an application, filled out the application and sent it in. And with every day that passes, the deadline for them to correct that error is narrowing.”

Tonight the elections department said it’s sending rejection letters along with new official applications to all affected voters.

As of Wednesday, 1,986 mail ballots had been received in Bexar County. Of those,702 were from Republican voters and 1,284 were from Democratic voters.

Election officials are urging voters who applied to vote by mail to verify the status of their application ahead of the March 3 primary.

Nirenberg’s campaign consultant said the rejected applications are not connected to Ramon & Associates.

Federal judge will weigh extending protections for refugees lawfully in Minnesota who are facing arrest and deportation

Mark Freie2 hours ago

U.S. District Judge John Tunheim blocked the government last month, saying plaintiffs "were likely to prevail"

A federal judge will hear arguments Thursday on whether or not to further block a federal immigration operation targeting refugees who are lawfully in Minnesota.

Advocates sued last month over Opeartion PARRIS, acronym for Post-Admission Refugee Reverification and Integrity Strengthening.That focused on reviewing cases of 5,600 Minnesota refugees yet to be granted permanent resident status. They claimed ICE agents went door to door to make the arrests, saying many of those arrested weren't given access to attorneys, and were released from Texas detention centers with no way to get back to Minnesota.

U.S. District Judge John Tunheim blocked the government from targeting these refugees last month, saying the plaintiffs in the case were likely to prevail on their claims “that their arrest and detention, and the policy that purports to justify them, are unlawful.” His Jan. 28 temporary restraining order will expire Feb. 25 unless he grants a more permanent preliminary injunction.

The lawsuit alleges that ICE officers went door to door under Operation PARRIS arresting refugees and sending them to detention centers in Texas, without access to attorneys. Some were later released on the streets of Texas and left to find their own way back to Minnesota, they said.

The judge rejected the government's claim that it had the legal right to arrest and detain refugees who haven't obtained their green cards within a year of arriving in the U.S. He said that would be illogical and nonsensical, given that refugees can't apply for permanent residency until they've been in the U.S. for a year.

Tunheim noted in his order, which applies only in Minnesota, that refugees are extensively vetted by multiple agencies before being resettled in the U.S. He wrote that none arrested in the operation had been deemed a danger to the community or a flight risk, nor had any been charged with crimes that could be grounds for deportation.

The judge cited several cases involving plaintiffs named in the lawsuit, including one man identified only as U.H.A., a refugee with no criminal history. He was admitted into the U.S. in 2024 and was arrested by ICE while driving to work on Jan. 18 this year. “He was pulled over, ordered out of his car, handcuffed, and detained, without a warrant or apparent justification,” the judge wrote.

Tunheim stressed that the refugees impacted by his order were admitted into the U.S. because of persecution in their home countries. He prohibited further arrests under Operation PARRIS and ordered that all detainees still in custody from it be released and returned to Minnesota.

“They are not committing crimes on our streets, nor did they illegally cross the border.Refugees have a legal right to be in the United States, a right to work, a right to live peacefully — and importantly, a right not to be subjected to the terror of being arrested and detained without warrants or cause in their homes or on their way to religious services or to buy groceries,” he wrote.

“At its best, America serves as a haven of individual liberties in a world too often full of tyranny and cruelty. We abandon that ideal when we subject our neighbors to fear and chaos,” he continued.

In a follow-up order Feb. 9, Tunheim rejected a government motion to lift the temporary restraining order.

USFK Fighters Patrol West Sea, Sparking US-China Standoff Near ADIZ

US and Chinese jets faced off over overlapping air defense zones as USFK conducted independent training without informing South Korea

By Yang Ji-ho

Published 2026.02.19. 22:51

Updated 2026.02.19. 23:30

As the US Forces Korea (USFK) conducted a large-scale aerial training exercise over the West Sea, asituation emerged on the 19th where US and Chinese forces faced off near the Korean Peninsula after China scrambled fighter jets in response.

According to multiple military sources familiar with the matter,over 10 USFK F-16 fighter jets departed from Osan Air Base on the 18th and maneuvered to the overlapping areaof the South Korean and Chinese Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ) over the West Sea.As the US fighters approached the Chinese ADIZ (CADIZ), both sides' forces reportedly faced off temporarily over the West Sea after China also scrambled fighter jets.

The US side notified South Korea of the training in advance but did not explain specific plans or objectives, according to sources. Military authorities are understood to have conveyed concerns to the US after becoming aware of the training.

It is unusual for USFK's air assets to conduct independent training over the West Sea, and military assessments both inside and outside the military suggest this move is aimed at China. In November of last year, USFK Commander Xavier Brunson stated, "South Korea can impose costs on the Russian Northern Fleet, the Chinese Northern Theater Command, and the North Korean military," among other remarks, as US authorities have continuously hinted that USFK could also play a role in countering China and Russia.

This training was a US-only exercise without the participation of the South Korean Air Force, and USFK reportedly did not inform South Korean forces of the training plans or objectives.

On the 18th, multiple USFK fighter jets that took off from Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province,were confirmed on the 19th to have deployed to the West Sea and conducted patrol flightsup to the midpoint of the South Korean and Chinese ADIZs.As the US fighters approached the CADIZ, both US and Chinese fighters were reportedly engaged in a temporary standoff over the West Sea after China scrambled its jets in response.

The USFK fighters' entry near the CADIZ is considered unusual. An ADIZ is a line arbitrarily set to identify aerial threats early and, while different from sovereign airspace under international law, it is international practice for military aircraft to notify flight plans in advance before approaching another country's ADIZ. South Korea's ADIZ was established by the US in March 1951 during the height of the Korean War, while the Chinese ADIZ over the East China Sea was unilaterally set by China in November 2013.

New Analysis of the Periodic Wobbles of the 3 Jets Around 3I/ATLAS

February 19, 2026

In a new paper (accessible here) that I co-authored with the Italian observer Toni Scarmato, we use images from the Hubble Space Telescope to study the motion of the symmetric system of three jets around the nucleus of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.

The Hubble images were processed through a Larson–Sekanina rotational-gradient filter -which removed the circularly symmetric glow around the nucleus.

The remaining brightness map shows three close-in jets in addition to a sunward anti-tail on a much larger scale, as discussed in our previous paper here.

These post-perihelion Hubble Images were taken between November 30 and December 27, 2025. The most prominent jet among the three is directed opposite to the Sun and appears to wobble over a period of 7.20 (± 0.05) hours.

The total brightness shows contemporaneous variability with a period of 7.136 (±0.001) hours and an amplitude of about 30%.

We interpret the characteristic post-perihelion period of about 7.1 hours as an attitude precession or nutation associated with a misalignment of the rotation axis with the symmetry axes of the nucleus.

The wobble around the rotation axis displays a characteristic angular excursion of order 20 degrees, while the rotation axis is aligned with the sunward direction to within 20 degrees.

Based on the inferred diameter of 2.6 kilometers for the nucleus of 3I/ATLAS (as reported here), only about a percent of the brightness of 3I/ATLAS originates from the reflection of sunlight by its nucleus.

When rotation is misaligned with the symmetry axes of the nucleus, it can produce quasi-periodic wobbles and a non-sinusoidal variability.

The new analysis links the inferred 7.1-hour period to an attitude precession or nutation of the multi-jet system. The brightness variability tracks transitions between collimated and fan-like morphologies of the jets.

Whereas the position angle of the most prominent jet shows variability with a period of 7.20 (± 0.05) hours, shorter periods are also apparent. Jets 2 shows a period of 2.9 hours and Jet 3 shows a period of 4.3 hours. The sum of 2.9 plus 4.3 is 7.2 hours.

We interpret the ~7.1-hour periodicity as the result of the rotation of 3I/ATLAS being misaligned with the principal symmetry axes of its nucleus. The jet structure undergoes a quasi-periodic wobble as the nucleus exhibits precession and nutation about the rotation axis.

This interpretation explains the orientation oscillations of the jets with morphology-dependent amplitudes and phases, the non-sinusoidal variability, and the sensitivity of the lightcurve to evolving collimation (fan opening) of the jets.

Multiple jets in different directions tend to balance each other and stabilize the rotation of 3I/ATLAS.

Jet 2 — which is oriented approximately opposite to the Sun and close to the projected rotation axis — anchors the large-scale geometry, whereas Jets 1 and 3 trace the precession cone through their position angle oscillations.

The wobble and changing collimation of the jets modulates both the projected jet directions and the total brightness.

The fundamental question that remains unresolved is whether the symmetric triple-jet system is a signature of technological thrusters or the sublimation of natural pockets of ice on the surface of a natural rocky iceberg.

@BillMelugin_

BREAKING:

This is wild one.

DHS announces the ICE arrest of a Liberian illegal alien who they say was working as a Minnesota corrections officer while also being AWOL from the PA National Guard, all while masquerading as a U.S. citizen despite having no legal status in the U.S. DHS says 45-year-old Morris Brown was identified as part of the major operation into MN investigating aliens involved in fraud.

He’s also alleged to have committed marriage fraud and made repeated false claims to U.S. immigration authorities.

Quinn Hughes' OT goal sends U.S. to Olympic men's hockey semis

2/18/26

MILAN -When the U.S. gave up a tying goal to Sweden with 91 seconds left in a men's hockey quarterfinals game at the Olympics, even the most seasoned players were on edge.

"That's as nervous as I've been ever in a hockey game," Dylan Larkin said.

After plenty of nerves and extra hockey the U.S. is moving on to the semifinals.

Quinn Hughes scored in overtime to put the U.S. past Sweden 2-1 after Mika Zibanejad scored to tie it late in regulation.

"Just relief," Hughes said.

After Canada did its part, albeit with a roller coaster of drama and emotion, the U.S. bounced back from Zibanejad scoring to keep alive the possibility of the North American rivals meeting in the gold medal game Sunday.

Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck stopped 28 of the 29 shots he faced, none more important than a grade-A chance by Lucas Raymond during the second period.

The U.S. will face Slovakia in one semifinal Friday. Just before that, also unbeaten Canada plays Finland in the other.

"It's gonna be an extremely hard test," Hughes said of Slovakia. "They've been rolling. They're competitive. They're fast. Doesn't matter how many superstars you have, just the desperation level's so high. It's Game 7 every night now."

LIVE: Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal Coverage

February 19, 2026 7:00AM

Live updates for the Artemis II wet dress rehearsal will be published on this page. Live views of the launch pad and test are available online. All times are Eastern.

11:11 a.m.

Teams in the firing room at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center are experiencing an issue with ground communications and have moved to backup communication methods to maintain safe audio command and control.

The launch director has decided to maintain the current vehicle state, continuing the liquid oxygen fast fill, but delaying moving into liquid hydrogen fast fill, while engineers troubleshoot the issue.

10:43 a. m.

Teams have transitioned from slow fill to fast fill for liquid oxygen on the core stage of the SLS rocket. Liquid hydrogen remains in slow fill for the core stage.

10:30 a.m.

Following successful chilldown of the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen lines, teams have started slowly filling the SLS rocket’s core stage with super-cold liquid hydrogen, chilled to minus 423 degrees Fahrenheit, then with liquid oxygen chilled to minus 297 degrees.

This marks the official start of propellant loading for the Artemis II wet dress rehearsal.

Slow fill is a deliberate process that allows the tanks and associated hardware to thermally condition before transitioning to fast fill.

This step minimizes thermal stress and ensures the integrity of the system as hundreds of thousands of gallons of cryogenic propellant flow into the core stage.

9:40 a.m.

Teams have started chilling down the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen lines for the SLS rocket’s core stage.

This critical step cools the propellant lines ahead of loading super-cold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen into the core stage tank, which will eventually hold more than 700,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

The chilldown process ensures the hardware is conditioned for the extreme temperatures of cryogenic propellants, reducing thermal shock and safeguarding system integrity.

Once complete, teams will transition to slow fill of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, followed by fast fill later in the countdown.

9:35 a.m.

At approximately 9:27 a.m., the Artemis launch director gave the “go” to begin loading cryogenic liquid propellant into the SLS rocket.

NASA teams have completed final preparations and closeouts of the umbilicals connecting the mobile launcher to the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft.

The umbilicals provide power, communications, and fuel to different parts of the rocket and spacecraft, while additional accessories provide stabilization.

During launch, each umbilical releases from its connection point, allowing the rocket and spacecraft to lift off safely.

Teams will begin slowly filling cryogenic propellant into the rocket beginning at L-9 hours 45 minutes in the countdown.

Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen will flow into the rocket’s core stage and interim cryogenic propulsion stage tanks, topped off and replenished as some cryogenic propellant boils off.

The team will also conduct leak checks to ensure loading proceeds as expected.

7 a.m.

The Artemis II wet dress rehearsal countdown continues as teams at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida began configuring the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket with gaseous nitrogen, an important step to mitigate fire hazards, protect spacecraft systems, and ensure mission safety ahead of fueling operations.

Technicians are replacing the ambient air with gaseous nitrogen, which is an inert gas that does not support combustion.

By replacing air – which contains highly-combustible oxygen – with nitrogen, engineers can remove the oxidizer needed to sustain fire and dramatically reduce flammability risks in a launch environment filled with high-energy systems and propellants.

The step also includes an inerting purge that removes oxygen and prevents contaminants like moisture or particulates from entering sensitive systems on the rocket.

This keeps propulsion and life-support hardware clean and stable and creates a non-reactive environment that protects hardware and minimizes chemical reactions during countdown and ascent.

Overnight, teams prepared fueling lines on the mobile launcher and powered up the SLS upper stage and boosters.

In the next few hours, teams will activate the ground launch sequencer used for command and control during the countdown, and verify several systems are ready for fueling operations.

NASA’s Artemis launch director, Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, will poll whether to give a “go” for tanking operations to begin.

While there won’t be a launch today, teams are targeting 8:30 p.m. EST as the opening of a simulated launch window.

Following a first run through the countdown to 33 seconds before the simulated launch time, teams will recycle the clock to T-10 minutes and will resume until stopping at approximately T-30 seconds.

New Expedition 74 Foursome Kicks off Science, Gets Used to Space

February 18, 2026 2:27PM

Vein scans and pharmaceutical research topped the science schedule aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday. The Expedition 74 crew rounded out the day with Dragon cargo transfers, lab familiarization activities, and life support maintenance duties.

NASA Flight Engineers Jack Hathaway and Jessica Meir kicked off their shift with vein scans using the new Ultrasound 3 device delivered last year aboard the Cygnus XL spacecraft.

Hathaway led the scans imaging Meir’s neck, shoulder, and leg veins while chest electrodes measured her heart cardiac activity as doctors on Earth assisted in real time.

Hathaway then operated the Ultrasound 2 device and scanned the veins of ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Sophie Adenot as doctors on the ground monitored.

Living in space long term induces fluid shifts in an astronaut’s body increasing the risk of blood clots—also called thromboembolism—that flight surgeons constantly monitor and seek to counteract.

The trio, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, continued getting familiar with station systems and operations while getting used to living and working in weightlessness.

At the beginning of his shift, Fedyaev wore acoustic sensors around his neck that recorded his rapid exhalation helping doctors understand how microgravity affects the respiratory system.

Adenot serviced sample processing hardware supporting research into the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals in space. Meir wrapped up her day unpacking crew supplies and station hardware delivered aboard Dragon on Saturday.

NASA Flight Engineer Chris Williams, who has been aboard the orbital outpost since November, worked throughout Wednesday with a variety of life support tasks, medical training, and an emergency drill.

Williams first measured airflow throughout the modules in the station’s U.S. segment then inspected vents for cleanliness and proper configuration.

Next, he trained to use medical hardware, including an automated external defibrillator, and performed different procedures such as conducting eye exams and administering medicine.

Williams also joined his crewmates Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev from Roscosmos and practiced using emergency respirators in the unlikely event of a chemical leak aboard the station.

Kud-Sverchkov and Mikaev, who arrived with Williams aboard the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft, spent Wednesday focusing primarily on research and maintenance in the station’s Roscosmos segment.

Kud-Sverchkov wrapped up an overnight automated photography session that imaged the Earth’s nighttime atmosphere in near-ultraviolet wavelengths. Mikaev configured scientific hardware that controls and processes data for numerous experiments.

The duo also split their day with computer hardware replacements in the Nauka science module and ventilation system maintenance in the Zvezda service module.

CSDA Program Announces Eight New Data Agreements

Feb 18, 2026

NASA’s Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program announced eight new agreements with seven of its commercial partners— Airbus Defense and Space GEO Inc (Airbus U.S.), Capella Space Corporation, ICEYE US, MDA Space, Planet Labs, Umbra, and Vantor (formerly Maxar)—to give users more access to near‑global multispectral and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data.

With these agreements, the CSDA program further advances its mission to acquire data from commercial providers that supports NASA’s Earth science research and applications, and expands the quality, coverage, and range of Earth observation data NASA offers to the scientific community.

“These new agreements will provide users with a range of high-quality multispectral and SAR data that can be used in a variety of applications from environmental monitoring to surface deformation,” said CSDA Project Manager Dana Ostrenga.

“In addition, they exemplify the CSDA Program’s commitment to acquiring data that enhances and supports the agency’s application and research objectives.”

New Near-Global, Multispectral Imagery

In support of NASA programs and stakeholders, the CSDA program enacted three agreements with Planet, Airbus, and Vantor (formerly Maxar) to provide near‑global multispectral and pan‑sharpened electro‑optical satellite imagery of nearly all global land and coastal surfaces.

This imagery has a spatial resolution of approximately 30 centimeters, 1 meters, and up to 10 meters (depending on the product) and is suitable for applications including environmental monitoring, agriculture, and urban applications.

Data products will include Top of Atmosphere radiances and surface reflectance across the visible and near‑infrared spectrum.

New SAR Data

In response to NASA’s and users’ needs for SAR data, and following rigorous technical and programmatic evaluation, CSDA executed five agreements for high‑resolution SAR imagery, including tasked Spotlight, StripMap, Scan, Wide/Extended Spotlight, and Long‑Dwell modes, with Capella, ICEYE, MDA, Umbra, and Airbus.

These SAR capabilities provide all‑weather, day‑night imaging that complements the electro‑optical agreements and enhances NASA’s ability to monitor dynamic processes such as flooding, land deformation, sea‑ice motion, and infrastructure impacts.

Further, under these agreements, each commercial partner will provide specific data requirements consistent with their respective sensor capabilities and performance, as well as tasking and archive access.

Increased Access and User Eligibility

The data acquired under these agreements will be made available to authorized commercial satellite data users in accordance with the CSDA Program’s End User License Agreements (EULAs).

EULAs generally pertain to NASA‑funded investigators and designated collaborators and outline established mechanisms for accessing CSDA data, such as the CSDA Satellite Data Explorer (SDX) and related portals.

Users can contact the CSDA Program at csda-support@nasa.gov to obtain additional information about user agreements, detailed product specifications, and procedures for requesting and accessing these commercial datasets for their research and application activities.

Andrew accused of watching as girl 'tortured with electrical shocks' by Ghislaine Maxwell

A FBI report alleges the former prince watched as a girl aged six to eight years old was 'tortured with electrical shocks' by Ghislaine Maxwell, with Andrew denying all wrongdoing

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been accused of watching a young girl, aged between six and eight years old, being subjected to electric shock torture.

The former prince, recently ousted from Royal Lodge, is alleged to have watched a woman being restrained on a table and "tortured with electrical shocks" by Ghislaine Maxwell. It's thought these accusations surfaced in the Epstein files, with an FBI report from July 2020 detailing allegations of sexual abuse involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in Surrey during the mid-1990s.

The claim, reportedly originating from an anonymous tip-off, also suggests that other men observed the girl's torture alongside Andrew. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently refuted any wrongdoing and charges against him.

NASA’s Perseverance Now Autonomously Pinpoints Its Location on Mars

Feb 18, 2026

Imagine you’re all alone, driving along in a rocky, unforgiving desert with no roads, no map, no GPS, and no more than one phone call a day for someone to inform you exactly where you are.

That’s what NASA’s Perseverance rover has been experiencing since landing on Mars five years ago. Though it carries time-tested tools for determining its general location, the rover has needed operators on Earth to tell it precisely where it is — until now.

A new technology developed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California enables Perseverance to figure out its whereabouts without calling humans for help.

Dubbed Mars Global Localization, the technology features an algorithm that rapidly compares panoramic images from the rover’s navigation cameras with onboard orbital terrain maps.

Running on a powerful processor that Perseverance originally used to communicate with the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, the algorithm takes about two minutes to pinpoint the rover’s location within some 10 inches (25 centimeters).

Mars Global Localization was first used successfully in regular mission operations on Feb. 2, then again Feb. 16.

“This is kind of like giving the rover GPS. Now it can determine its own location on Mars,” said JPL’s Vandi Verma, chief engineer of robotics operations for the mission.

“It means the rover will be able to drive for much longer distances autonomously, so we’ll explore more of the planet and get more science. And it could be used by almost any other rover traveling fast and far.”

The upgrade is especially valuable given how well Perseverance’s auto-navigation self-driving system has been working.

Enabling the rover to re-plan its path around obstacles en route to a preestablished destination, AutoNav has proved so capable that the distance Perseverance can drive without instructions from Earth is largely limited by the rover’s uncertainty about its whereabouts.

Now that it can stop and determine its exact location, Perseverance can be commanded to drive to potentially unlimited distances without calling home.

Implementation of Mars Global Localization comes on the heels of another innovation from the Perseverance team: the first use of generative artificial intelligence to help plan a drive route by selecting waypoints for the rover, which are normally chosen by human rover operators.

Both technologies enable Perseverance to travel farther and faster while minimizing team workload.

Beyond visual odometry

Unlike on Earth, there is no network of GPS satellites in deep space to locate spacecraft on planetary surfaces. So missions — whether robotic or crewed — must come up with other ways to determine their location.

As with NASA’s previous Mars rovers, Perseverance tracks its position using what’s called visual odometry, analyzing geologic features in camera images taken every few feet while accounting for wheel slippage.

But as tiny errors in the process add up over the course of each drive, the rover becomes increasingly unsure about its exact location.

Award-Winning NASA Camera Revolutionizes How We See the Invisible

Feb 19, 2026

Imagine trying to photograph wind. That’s similar to what NASA engineers dealt with during a recent effort to study how air moves around planes, rockets, and other kinds of aerospace vehicles.

Air is invisible, but our understanding of how it flows is crucial for building better, safer aircraft.

For 80 years, researchers used a technique called “focused schlieren imaging.” Think of it as a special camera system that can “see” air movement by detecting tiny changes in its density.

It’s the same effect that lets you to see heat waves rising from hot pavement on a sunny day ¾ just much more precise.

The Self-Aligned Focusing Schlieren (SAFS) system is a game-changer. It’s a compact, low-cost, easy-to-use visualization tool that is less complex than traditional focusing schlieren systems.

“What makes this breakthrough compelling is the ripple effect,” said NASA’s Brett Bathel, who invented the SAFS alongside fellow engineer Joshua Weisberger at the agency’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.

“When researchers can see and understand air movement in ways that were previously difficult to achieve, it leads to better aircraft designs and safer flights for everyone.”

Switching from older systems to SAFS in wind tunnels and other specialized research environments allows aerospace engineers to gather high-speed flow visualization data more efficiently, with less facility downtime, and lower costs.

For the aviation industry, it opens doors to new discoveries, potentially revolutionizing how we design everything from commercial airliners to spacecraft.

With SAFS in its toolbox, NASA is also better positioned to meet its mission goals related to efficiency and safety in aviation and space.

Researchers are using SAFS to capture flow separation on the High Lift Common Research Model, a tool for improving how accurately we can predict the takeoff and landing performance of new aircraft.

And it’s helping them investigate shock cell structures ¾ diamond shapes that form in exhaust plumes ¾ for the Space Launch System model.

The NASA technology is already being used worldwide, adopted by over 50 institutions in more than 8 countries, from Notre Dame to the University of Liverpool. Companies continue to license the technology and commercial versions are hitting the market.

The impact has been so significant that NASA’s researchers earned multiple awards. R&D World gave SAFS a spot on its 2025 R&D 100 Awards, selected by a panel of global experts.

NASA also named the SAFS a 2025 NASA Government Invention of the Year, the highest award the agency gives to groundbreaking technologies.

Map the Earth’s Magnetic Shield with the Space Umbrella Project

Feb 19, 2026

A stream of charged particles known as the solar wind flows from the Sun toward Earth. Here, it meets the Earth’s magnetic fields, which shield our planet like a giant umbrella.

The Space Umbrella project needs your help investigating this dynamic region, where NASA’s Magnetosphere Multiscale (MMS) mission has been collecting data since 2015.

The MMS mission investigates how the Sun and Earth’s magnetic fields connect and disconnect, explosively transferring energy from one to the other in a process that is important to the Sun, other planets, and everywhere in the universe.

With the Space Umbrella project, you will help identify when the MMS spacecraft has observed the strongest interactions between the Earth’s magnetosphere and the solar wind.

While these interactions can result in beautiful auroras, they also release energy that could disrupt GPS and communications systems and endanger astronauts.

Your work will also help scientists better understand solar storms. Understanding these solar storms can contribute to keeping our astronauts and technology safe.

To get started, visit the Space Umbrella project website and complete the tutorial.

The tutorial will teach you everything you need to know, including how to tell when the satellite is inside Earth’s magnetic field and when the magnetosphere is interacting with the Sun’s particles.

Everyone is welcome to participate — no prior experience needed!

Small But Mighty Lab Device Could Transform NASA Research

Feb 19, 2026

A small but mighty piece of lab equipment, about the size of a cellphone, has arrived at the International Space Station after launching with NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission.

NASA aims to use the off-the-shelf device, called a microplate reader, to conduct vital biological research in space and get real-time access to data.

Demonstrations like this are part of NASA's Commercially Enabled Rapid Space Science (CERISS) initiative, which partners with industry to develop transformative research capabilities and increase the pace and productivity of space science.

NASA's Biological and Physical Sciences Division is leading the demonstration in collaboration with the agency’s International Space Station Program.

Potential to speed up access to research results

The immediate benefit of using a microplate reader for space science is speed. Scientists can get data as soon as testing is complete, rather than waiting for samples to be stored, returned to Earth, and analyzed in ground labs.

In-situ analysis like this — testing done on-site rather than after sample return — could reduce the delays, complications, and costs of bringing materials back to Earth.

Traditional microplate readers on the ground are typically much larger — often bigger than a microwave — but NASA’s tests will use a version that is not much larger than a cellphone.

For now, the microplate reader device requires a trained astronaut to run tests. But proving commercial lab equipment can work in low Earth orbit could open doors for future automation and even more advanced testing capabilities.

In the future, scientists could test astronaut samples for various molecules during long-duration missions to monitor crew health in deep space. The microplate reader is adaptable — different test kits could support a range of measurements wherever humans explore in space.

Shining light on space biology

The microplate reader uses a wavelength of light to detect color in biological tests. When a target molecule is present in a sample, the test produces a color change. The intensity of that change tells researchers how much of a particular molecule is present.

NASA will initially use samples from the Microgravity Associated Bone Loss-B (MABL-B) investigation — which explores potential ways to prevent bone loss in space — to test the microplate reader on the space station.

For this demonstration, the microplate reader will measure a protein called interleukin-6 in samples from the MABL-B investigation. Scientists suspect this protein may contribute to astronaut bone loss.

Operating the device is straightforward. It connects to a tablet or laptop via USB and uses standard 96-well plates — the same format many labs use on Earth. An astronaut runs the test using software to operate the device and get results immediately.

Scientists can monitor the experiment in real-time via video and visually observe the initial readouts. If researchers have instructions for the crew, those are relayed via space station ground personnel communicating with crew.

Additionally, a detailed data file can be downlinked quickly from the station and shared with the researchers.

Testing commercial lab equipment using ultimate laboratory

A microplate reader arrived at the orbiting laboratory Feb. 14 with Crew-12. The test kit and samples will launch aboard a future mission to the space station.

Once all materials are aboard station, NASA will run the demonstration and compare the results with identical tests conducted on Earth.

"The microplate reader hardware and the kit to measure a protein called Interleukin-6 are both off the shelf — we're testing these commercially available products in space to accelerate the pace of doing research in orbit," said Dan Walsh, CERISS program executive for NASA.

“Our CERISS effort is building the capabilities and infrastructure needed for a thriving low Earth orbit research economy. Demonstrations like this show how commercial tools can integrate into space station operations and help grow the commercial space industry.”

NASA’s New Horizons Captures Stunning Footage of Ice Mountains on Pluto’s Moon Nix

February 19, 2026 at 09:15

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has delivered extraordinary video footage showing towering ice mountains on Pluto’s moon Nix.

These ice peaks, some rising as high as 11,000 feet, are made of pure water ice and behave like rock due to the intense cold.

The footage from New Horizons provides unprecedented details of Nix, a moon that has long fascinated researchers.

Located in the frigid outer reaches of our solar system, Nix’s ice mountains are not only visually striking but also scientifically significant.

While Pluto and its moons are largely composed of ice, Nix stands out for its unique geological features. The new data is helping to reveal the active processes shaping the surface of the moon.

A Frozen World: Nix’s Ice Mountains

According to NASA, the ice mountains on Nix are made of pure water ice, which in the extreme cold of the moon behaves more like rock.

These towering formations, some of which reach impressive heights of 11,000 feet, offer a rare example of ice in its most rigid form.

“This observation is so tantalizing, I’m finding it hard to be patient for more Nix data to be downlinked,” stated Carly Howett, mission scientist at Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, in a NASA statement.

The extreme temperatures on Nix, which hover around -280°F (-173°C), prevent the ice from melting, and instead, it remains solid and stiff, giving it a rock-like appearance.

Researchers believe this ice could be among the youngest geological features on the moon, only about 100 million years old, which is relatively young in the context of the solar system’s 4.56 billion-year history.

New Horizons Reveals Nix: A Closer Look at Pluto’s Moon

The images and video footage captured by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft are crucial to expanding our understanding of Pluto’s moons.

Launched in 2006, New Horizons made its historic flyby of Pluto in 2015, and the mission continues to provide invaluable data about the dwarf planet and its satellites.

The spacecraft’s LEISA spectral imager, which collects detailed data about surface compositions, has been key to unveiling the true nature of Nix’s surface.

This technology allows scientists to analyze the characteristics of Nix’s icy terrain in fine detail, helping them understand how these features form and evolve in the harsh environment of deep space.

Nix and Hydra: A Duel of Moons

While Nix shares similar characteristics with another of Pluto’s moons, Hydra, there are distinct differences in their surface compositions.

“Nix and Hydra – the second and third moons to be discovered – are approximately the same size, but their similarity ends there.” explained NASA in the same statement.

According to data from the New Horizons mission, Nix is covered predominantly by water ice, while Hydra exhibits higher reflectivity in visible wavelengths, which suggests that it might have a slightly different surface composition.

These differences are important for scientists who are trying to piece together the geological history of Pluto’s moons.

“New Horizons’ findings on the surface characteristics and other properties of Nix and Hydra will help scientists understand the origins and subsequent history of Pluto and its moons,” as explained by the U.S space agency.

NASA Selects Vast for Sixth Private Mission to Space Station

Feb 12, 2026

NASA and Vast have signed an order for the sixth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, targeted to launch no earlier than summer 2027 from Florida.

This private astronaut mission marks the company’s first selection to the orbiting laboratory, underscoring NASA’s ongoing investment in fostering a commercial space economy and expanding opportunities for private industry in low Earth orbit.

“Private astronaut missions represent more than access to the International Space Station — they create opportunities for new ideas, companies, and capabilities that further enhance American leadership in low Earth orbit and open doors for what’s next,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.

“We’re proud to welcome Vast to this growing community of commercial partners. Each new entrant brings unique strengths that fuel a dynamic, innovative marketplace as we advance research and technology and prepare for missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.”

The mission is expected to spend up to 14 days aboard the space station. A specific launch date will depend on overall spacecraft traffic at the orbital outpost and other planning considerations.

“The International Space Station plays an essential role in shaping the future of low Earth orbit,” said Dana Weigel, manager, International Space Station Program at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

“By hosting private astronaut missions, the station helps accelerate innovation, opens new commercial pathways, and advances research strengthening the foundation of a thriving space economy.”

Vast will submit four proposed crew members to NASA and its international partners for review. Once approved and confirmed, they will train with NASA, international partners, and SpaceX for their flight.

The company has contracted with SpaceX as launch provider for transportation to and from the space station.

“Vast is honored to have been selected by NASA for the sixth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station,” said Max Haot, CEO of Vast.

“Leveraging the remaining life of the space station with science and research-led commercial crewed missions is a critical part of the transition to commercial space stations and fully unlocking the orbital economy.”

The company will purchase mission services from NASA, including crew consumables, cargo delivery, storage, and other in-orbit resources for daily use.

NASA will purchase the capability to return scientific samples that must remain cold during transit back to Earth.

NASA made the selection from proposals received in response to its March 2025 NASA Research Announcement.

Missions aboard the International Space Station, including private astronaut missions, help advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies in the unique microgravity environment.

These commercial efforts in low Earth orbit are helping develop capabilities and technologies that could support NASA’s long-term goals for missions beyond low Earth orbit, including deep space exploration to the Moon and eventually to Mars through the agency’s Artemis campaign.

Northrop Grumman launches Valen multifunction AESA radar for crewed, uncrewed and space platforms

February 19, 2026

Northrop Grumman has introduced Valen, a new multifunction active electronically scanned array radar in the company’s advanced sensing portfolio. The system is designed to deliver next-generation capabilities to U.S. and allied warfighters.

Valen is a wideband array that combines radar, electronic warfare and communications functions in a single design. It is intended for crewed and uncrewed platforms operating from air to space.

The development of Valen was fully funded by Northrop Grumman and builds on generations of combat-proven AESA technology. According to the company, the system is lighter, smaller and more affordable than previous solutions.

Northrop Grumman states that Valen is digitally designed and manufactured using 3D printing, reducing production timelines. The company says this approach supports faster delivery while maintaining performance standards.

The radar’s performance is supported by advanced packaging techniques developed at Northrop Grumman’s Microelectronics Center. These techniques combine multiple semiconductor components into a micro-sized package, enabling faster operation, improved cooling and lower power consumption within a smaller footprint.

Valen is built using the latest open-architecture standards for hardware and software. The company says this allows the integration of advanced sensor capabilities from across its portfolio and supports rapid system updates.

As an AESA system, Valen uses digitally controlled antennas and sensors to provide rapid detection, tracking and imaging in any direction without mechanical movement. Northrop Grumman states that this enables faster target detection and tracking across operational environments.

Krys Moen, vice president of advanced mission capabilities at Northrop Grumman, said, “Our warfighters require advanced situational awareness no matter what platform they’re operating.”

He added, “Valen’s design embodies the future of warfare—integrating cutting-edge technology, adaptability and affordability to enable quick decision making and effective mission execution.

Valen’s compact, lightweight design cuts production time, delivering a highly capable product to the field faster.”

The radar has been tested aboard a Northrop Grumman-owned Bombardier CRJ-700 aircraft. The company said the system will be offered to the U.S. armed forces and allied nations as part of its expanding advanced sensing portfolio.

Watch SpaceX land a rocket in The Bahamas for the 2nd time ever today

February 19, 2026

SpaceX will land a rocket in The Bahamas for the second time ever today (Feb. 19), and you can watch the action live.

A rocket topped with 29 of SpaceX's Starlink broadband satellites is scheduled to launch from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today, during a four-hour window that opens at 5 p.m. EST (2200 GMT).

You can watch it live via SpaceX's homepage or X account beginning about five minutes before liftoff.

If all goes according to plan today, the Falcon 9's first stage will return to Earth a little over eight minutes after launch. It will touch down on the SpaceX droneship "Just Read the Instructions," which will be stationed in The Bahamas' Exuma Sound.

It will be just the second SpaceX landing in Bahamian waters. The first occurred in February 2025, also during a Starlink launch.

Most Falcon 9 boosters that launch from the Space Coast touch down farther north, in the open waters of the Atlantic. But landing near The Bahamas offers advantages.

"Our new landing collaboration with The Bahamas will enable Falcon 9 to launch to new orbital trajectories," SpaceX wrote via X in February 2025.

Less than a month later, however, the upper stage of SpaceX's Starship megarocket broke apart over the Caribbean during a test flight, raining debris down on The Bahamas.

The nation put the SpaceX partnership on hold in April 2025, saying it wanted to perform an environmental assessment of all rocket landings in the region.

That work is now complete. On Tuesday (Feb. 17), the Civil Aviation Authority of The Bahamas announced that it has cleared SpaceX to land rockets in Exuma Sound once again.

Today's touchdown will be the 26th for this particular Falcon 9 first stage, which carries the designation 1077. The rocket's upper stage, meanwhile, will deploy the 29 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit about 64 minutes after liftoff.

The spacecraft will join nearly 9,700 other satellites in the Starlink megaconstellation, by far the largest off-Earth network ever assembled.

Gates & WEF-Backed Vaccine Fund Bankrolls Moderna’s Universal Pandemic Vaccine Research$54.3 million is being quietly deployed.

NATALIE WINTERS

FEB 19, 2026

In a newly announceddeal that should alarm anyone who caresabout the integrity of global public health policy, the —Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) has committed up to $54.3 million in public and philanthropic money to fund apivotal Phase 3clinical trial Moderna’smRNA-based pandemic influenza vaccine candidate.

Taken at face value, CEPI’s press release reads like a feel-good story: rapid action against a deadly pathogen, equitable access, cutting-edge science.

Yet the deeper you look, the morethis “global health mission” resembles something far more structured— a quasi-institutional conduit that directs public money into private vaccine platforms while positioning corporate players to reap future returns.

From Davos Launchpad to Pandemic Industrial Policy

CEPI didn’t emerge organically out of grassroots public health needs. It was launched in2017during the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, billed as apublic-private coalitiondesigned to “stimulate, finance, and coordinate vaccine development” for epidemic threats. Thearchitecturewas, from the outset, a Davos-styleblend of governments, large philanthropic capital, and industry participation.

Among CEPI’s most influential backers — and largest funders — is theBill & Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the most powerful institutions in global vaccine policy. Gates’ approach to pandemic response — platform technologies, rapid timeline targets, advance procurement — now defines the way CEPI operates.

The Moderna Deal: Public Risk, Private Reward

CEPI’s announcement touts its contribution to Moderna’s pandemic influenza vaccine candidate. CEO Richard Hatchett said the partnershipcould “shave months off the response time, deliver vaccines at scale, and enable equitable access for all” —language that positions the deal as both innovative and altruistic.

Meanwhile, Moderna’s own CEO, Stéphane Bancel, praised CEPI’s support as critical toadvancing the candidate and fulfilling what is known as the 100 Days Mission— a global benchmark to develop and deploy safe, effective vaccineswithin 100 days of identifying a pathogen.

(it won’t be hard to create a new vaccine in 100 days, because they and their funders “philanthropic” and world governments have already created the virus’s & vaccine since 2017. Because they created the Covid virus and vaccine,the mad scientist'swill continue to create more and more Pandemics and Vaccines, imo they have already created 100 or 1,000’s of disease and new vaccines since 2017. A special benefit to Pharma and the donors, can quietly have their vaccines and drugs they have already created; to kill millions of dead normies. They never forget their mission of reducing the population, which imo besides the money,they appreciate killing people more.)

Those are high-sounding goals.But the mechanics matter.

Phase 3 trialsare not speculative startup science — they are late-stage, registration-enabling clinical studies that pave the way for regulatory approval and eventual commercialization.

By underwriting this phase, CEPI iseffectively de-riskingModerna’s investment, using public and philanthropic funding to carry the financial burden of final clinical validation.

Once that hurdle is cleared,the company retainspatents, manufacturing control, and thelion’s shareof market upside— particularly inwealthy countrieswhere vaccine sales are most lucrative.

This dynamic is familiar.

During COVID-19, governments and philanthropiesfundedmuch of the research, manufacturing scale-up, and advance purchase agreements.

Pharmaceutical companies walked away withrecord revenues and enhanced valuations.

Now, the same model appears to be institutionalised: cushioned risk for industry, futureprofitsreserved for private actors.

See the moon's shadow darken Antarctica in epic satellite imagery of the Feb. 17 solar eclipse

February 18, 2026

Satellites have captured incredible views of the Feb. 17 annular solar eclipse as the moon's shadow swept across a remote region of Antarctica, while at the same time a U.S. weather satellite captured the silhouette of Earth's satellite as it traversed across the face of the sun.

An annular solar eclipse takes place when the moon — at a distant point in its elliptical orbit — passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the vast majority of its surface while leaving a thin sliver of its outer disk visible to appear as a burning halo in the sky.

Sadly, the only humans on hand to see the full glory of the Feb. 17 "ring of fire" eclipse were those who were crewing isolated research stations in a 383-mile-wide (616 kilometer) swathe of Antarctica.

Thankfully for us in warmer locations, a number of satellites were able to witness the enormity of the event from orbit, including spacecraft from the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (Eumetsat), which captured imagery of the moon's shadow (above) as it swept over the frozen continent.

The moon's immense shadow was also spied by South Korea's GEO-KOMPSAT-2A weather satellite from its perch 22,370 miles (36,000 km) above Earth in geostationary orbit, close to the shadowy line of the night-day terminator.

NOAA's GOES-19 satellite captured a different perspective as it stared directly into the sun using its Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) instrument from high above Earth.

Bright looping structures can be seen playing throughout the sun's atmosphere in the ultraviolet realm of the electromagnetic spectrum as plasma is shaped by our star's strong magnetic field while the moon's silhouette roams left-to-right across the solar disk.

Solar eclipses don't occur in isolation, but rather as the opening — or sometimes closing — act of a two-part eclipse "season".

The second half of this current orbital ballet will occur on March 3, when our planet slips between the sun and moon, bathing the latter with sunlight that has been filtered and scattered by Earth's atmosphere to give rise to a dramatic "blood moon" total lunar eclipse.

Totality will be visible to approximately 2.5 billion people spread throughout Australia, New Zealand, East Asia, parts of the Pacific and North America, the latter of which will get to see the moon slip into the deepest part of Earth's shadow as it slips below the horizon at sunrise.

Then, on Aug. 12, stargazers in Greenland, Iceland, Portugal, Spain and Russia will be treated to a dramatic total solar eclipse — where the moon briefly hides the entirety of the solar surface in the path of totality — while hundreds of millions elsewhere will witness a lesser partial eclipse.

Hoping to see the Aug. 12 total solar eclipse for yourself? Then be sure to read our top tips and travel advice for planning an eclipse trip along with our picks of the best solar viewing gear and guidance on how to check and safely use eclipse glasses.

Inaugural Contested Logistics for Space Summit emphasizes USSF’s focus on mission sustainment, readiness, and logistics integration within contested environments

Feb. 18, 2026

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. - PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. – The U.S. Space Force (USSF) concluded the Service’s first-ever Contested Logistics for Space summit at Peterson Space Force Base, Colo.

Hosted by Space Systems Command (SSC), the event marked a significant milestone in reinforcing the service’s focus on mission sustainment, readiness, and logistics integration within contested environments.

The workshop brought together over 50 participants to align sustainment strategies with operational realities. Key stakeholders included representatives from U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM), Secretary of the Air Force (SAF), Headquarters U.S. Space Force (HQ USSF), Headquarters Air Force (HAF), SSC, Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM), USSF Combat Forces Command (CFC), Space Forces Space (S4S), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Product Support Managers, and Palace Acquire Interns.

The event featured a keynote presentation by USSPACECOM Deputy Commander U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Thomas L. Zellman, who underscored the critical need for a warfighter culture within the logistics enterprise.

Zellman emphasized that fostering this mindset is essential to serve as a decisive enabler of readiness and deterrence, ensuring the enterprise can deliver and sustain combat effects for the joint force under any conditions.

”I believe this is a good first step in identifying and analyzing our Contested Logistics for Space environment,” said Mr. Robert Carroll, space logistics officer, USSF Mission Sustainment Directorate, HQ USSF.

“We had the right people and expertise in the room to map out our way forward to identify current state, realize gaps and risk areas, and lay the groundwork to developing mitigation strategies.”

Participants examined how modernization and integration with the commercial and industrial base are essential to sustaining operational tempo during prolonged conflict.

By bridging the gap between acquisition and operations, the workshop aimed to ensure mission sustainment is viewed as an integrated enterprise across orbital, terrestrial, and link segments.

“This summit bridges the gap between our acquisition strategies and the tactical realities faced by our Guardians.

We are moving beyond traditional maintenance to engineer a resilient, end-to-end logistics enterprise that ensures our space capabilities remain unbreakable, even under the most persistent threats,” said Mr. Brad Leonard, director of installations, logistics, and product support at SSC.

The insights and strategies developed during the summit will serve as a foundation for upcoming USSF logistics doctrine, strategy, and future training exercises.

As the threat environment evolves, these collaborative efforts ensure the service remains prepared to sustain its critical weapon systems and maintain a strategic advantage in the space domain.

SSC is the USSF field command responsible for acquiring, developing, and delivering resilient capabilities to outpace emerging threats and protect the Nation’s strategic advantage in, from, and to space.

SSC manages a $15.6 billion annual space acquisition budget for the Department of War (DoW), working with joint forces, industry partners, and allied nations.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2026/02/presidential-message-on-ash-wednesday/

Today, the First Lady and I join the millions of Christians in the United States and around the world in observing Ash Wednesday—a solemn day of prayer and repentance and the beginning of the Lenten season.

Every Ash Wednesday, Christians receive ashes in the shape of a cross on their foreheads as a visible reminder of our belonging to Jesus Christ and our enduring need for penance. For the next 40 days, in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of temptation in the desert, followers of Christ will pray, fast, and give alms to deepen their faith, reflect on His redeeming Passion and death, and prepare their hearts for the coming Easter miracle.

As the holy season of Lent begins, we are reminded that the practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving have been foundational to our strength from the earliest days of our national story. From the Colonists who turned to prayer and fasting in the heart of the Revolutionary War to the unmatched compassion and generosity of America’s churches, hospitals, and charitable institutions, these righteous acts of faith over the centuries have always stood at the center of our identity, our heritage, and our way of life.

This Ash Wednesday, as we remember the Passion and ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the cross, we send our best wishes for a meaningful Lenten season. Above all, as we prepare for the triumphant resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday—the greatest miracle in the history of mankind—we pause to remember those sacred words: “This is the time of fulfillment. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”

The Atlantic Busted Fabricating Dead Kid Measles Story

Last Thursday, The Atlantic published a heart-wrenching story about an 11-month-old child who died of measles. Written in the second person from the perspective of a mother whose two unvaccinated children fell ill with the disease, the story is rich with personal detail;

"You plant her on the couch with a blanket and put Bluey on the TV while she drifts in and out of sleep..."

"While the kids are napping, you tap a list of your daughter’s symptoms into Google and find a slew of diseases that more or less match up..."

"Her cough wracks her whole body, rounding her delicate bird shoulders. She does not sleep well. And as you lift up her pajama top to check her rash one morning, you see that her breathing is labored, shadows pooling between her ribs when she sucks in air."

Turns out, NONE OF THAT HAPPENED. The Atlantic's Elizabeth Bruenig simply made it up, leading to mass confusion.

US Coast Guard Seizes $133.5 Million In Illicit Drugs

“80 percent of interdictions of U.S.-bound drugs occur at sea. This underscores the importance of maritime interdiction in combatting the flow of illegal narcotics and protecting American communities from this deadly threat,” USCG said.

In total, 17,700 pounds of cocaine were seized through the interdiction of four drug-transporting vessels in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

One of the drug vessels was boarded by Seneca’s crew on Jan. 25, seizing 4,410 pounds of cocaine. On Jan. 31, crew members boarded three vessels, taking custody of 13,340 pounds of cocaine, the statement said.

The detection and monitoring of illegal drug transit by air and sea are conducted by the U.S. Southern Command’s Joint Interagency Task Force-South, based in Key West. Once it is determined that the vessel must be interdicted, the USCG takes control of the operation, boards the vessel, and apprehends it.

“I am extremely proud of the crew’s incredible performance and adaptability during this deployment,” said Capt. Lee Jones, commanding officer of Coast Guard Cutter Seneca.

“This deployment demonstrates our enhanced posture and continued success in the fight against narco-terrorism and transnational criminal organizations.

Epstein Ally Was Talking To Feds About Flip, Wanted $3 Million To Keep Quiet, Then Backed Off Deal

French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel - whose network delivered new girls from around the world to Jeffrey Epstein on a regular basis, was prepared in 2016 to tell U.S. prosecutors what he knew about Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation. According to newly released files from the DOJ, the now-deceased Brunel’s lawyer was negotiating with attorneys for Epstein’s victims about a possible meeting with federal prosecutors in New York in exchange for immunity - and Epstein knew it. And of course, Goldman Sachs (soon to be ex-) General Counsel Kathy Ruemmler is involved.

According to handwritten notes taken by a federal prosecutor in February 2016 state: "One of Epstein’s bfs, Jean Luc Brunel, has helped get girls. He is wanting to cooperate." The notes add: "Brunel is afraid of being prosecuted," the Wall Street Journal reports.

The discussions contemplated a date for Brunel to walk into the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan. His lawyer said Brunel had recruited girls for Epstein and possessed incriminating photographs, according to the notes.

Then Brunel stopped communicating.

The files indicate that Epstein learned negotiations were underway. On May 3, 2016, Epstein emailed Ruemmler, a top Obama administration attorney who recently announced her resignation over the friendship. Epstein warned that Brunel planned to approach the U.S. Attorney’s office the following week - noting that one of Brunel’s friends had "asked for 3 million dollars so that Jean Luc would not go in."

I was busy. So I am watching the board of peace meeting right now.

POTUS said wars were going on for 32 34 or 37 years. The Crumbs are like a story lineup!

Maybe one day but it cannot go slow. The initial wave will be fast and meaningful. It will send a signal to others immediately and you’ll see the tide turn (not even the MSM can hide and rest assured some will be jailed as deep cover agents).

34Q Clearance Patriot

My fellow Americans, over the course of the next several days you will undoubtedly realize that we are taking back our great country (the land of the free) from the evil tyrants that wish to do us harm and destroy the last remaining refuge of shining light. On POTUS’ order, we have initiated certain fail-safes that shall safeguard the public from the primary fallout which is slated to occur 11.3 upon the arrest announcement of Mr. Podesta (actionable 11.4). Confirmation (to the public) of what is occurring will then be revealed and will not be openly accepted. Public riots are being organized in serious numbers in an effort to prevent the arrest and capture of more senior public officials. On POTUS’ order, a state of temporary military control will be actioned and special ops carried out. False leaks have been made to retain several within the confines of the United States to prevent extradition and special operator necessity. Rest assured, the safety and well-being of every man, woman, and child of this country is being exhausted in full. However, the atmosphere within the country will unfortunately be divided as so many have fallen for the corrupt and evil narrative that has long been broadcast. We will be initiating the Emergency Broadcast System (EMS) during this time in an effort to provide a direct message (avoiding the fake news) to all citizens. Organizations and/or people that wish to do us harm during this time will be met with swift fury – certain laws have been pre-lifted to provide our great military the necessary authority to handle and conduct these operations (at home and abroad).

They are the true Patriots. We will never forget. Let these coming days be remembered in our history as the time we fought to recapture the republic from those evil bad actors who for so long have sacrificed the good people of this land for their own personal gain.

Fight the good fight.

LET JUSTICE BE SERVED.

One can hope! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Ukrainian mobilization enforcers open fire, pistol-whip draft resisters

19 Feb, 2026 11:08

A disturbing video circulating in Ukrainian media purportedly shows the latest episode of violent enforcement of military mobilization against an increasingly resentful population.

The incident on Thursday reportedly occurred in a village in Chernigov Region in western Ukraine. The clip shows a group of uniformed men confronting several civilians, including women.

One officer appears to kick a man in the face and throw another person, possibly a woman, to the ground before striking them in the head with his handgun.

His colleague rushes in to repeatedly punch the first target while others fire shots. Local police reported that officials apprehending a man evading military service had to defend themselves from unknown individuals.

The clip is one of several recent cases highlighting growing public animosity over mandatory conscription.

On Monday, members of a draft patrol in Odessa were filmed casually spraying a man in the face.

An eyewitness who sent the video to a city news channel claimed the recruiters were disappointed to find their target was over 60 and thus only eligible for voluntary enlistment.

On Tuesday, a conscription van – the tool which has given violent mobilization the nickname ‘busification’ – allegedly drove over a woman’s foot in Ternopol.

While Ukrainian officials claim most ‘busification’ videos online are fabrications, Kiev acknowledges the mobilization campaign is undermined by violent incidents.

Human rights ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets told lawmakers this month that his office is receiving an “avalanche” of complaints against draft officials, signaling a “systemic crisis.”

This week, football player Daniil Kolesnik was fired from his club and placed under nighttime house arrest after punching a draft official.

He maintains he was protecting his neighbor, who has an exemption, from assault by the draft squad and immediately reported the altercation to police.

Several athletes have praised Kolesnik, saying he is a good man and did nothing wrong. The Ukrainian military is suffering from acute manpower shortages, mass desertion, and high attrition in ongoing hostilities with Russia.

Epstein had no degree, no credentials, no public business wins, yet he controlled a billionaire’s fortune, owned a private island, and had access to presidents. His resume doesn’t explain his wealth. So what does? The answer is in the people who built him.

Epstein didn’t climb his way to power. He was handed it by a sequence of people who gave him access, training, and protection at every stage.

Here’s the timeline the media won’t walk you through.

𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟒: 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞

Epstein lands a job teaching math and physics at the Dalton School, one of New York’s most elite private schools. There’s just one problem: he doesn’t have a college degree.

Elite schools don’t do this. Ever.

But Donald Barr does. Barr was a former OSS officer during World War II (the precursor to the CIA) and father of future Attorney General William Barr. He’s also the author of a science fiction novel about oligarchs running a society built on sexual slavery.

Epstein now has direct access to the children of Manhattan’s wealthiest families.

𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟔: 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐨 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

Two years later, Epstein gets hired at Bear Stearns, one of Wall Street’s most prestigious firms. He’s introduced through a parent at Dalton, but it’s CEO Alan “Ace” Greenberg who personally brings him on.

No finance background. No degree. No traditional path.

Within four years, Epstein became a limited partner, a position that normally takes decades of proven results to reach.

He’s learning how the ultra-wealthy hide money. Tax shelters. Offshore accounts. Asset protection strategies most people will never hear about.

𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟏: 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝

In 1981, there was an SEC investigation into insider trading connected to the Seagram Company and the Bronfman family. Bear Stearns forces Epstein out over what they call “minor infractions.”

But here’s what’s strange: despite the investigation, Epstein faces no charges. No legal consequences. No public scandal.

He just walks away.

Now he understands how the ultra-wealthy move money invisibly, and he knows he can get away with it.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬

After Wall Street, Epstein reinvents himself. He tells people he recovers stolen assets for governments and oligarchs. He carries a concealed weapon. He travels on a British passport.

During this time, he’s mentored by Sir Douglas Leese, a British defense contractor and arms dealer. Leese teaches him the mechanics of international arms deals and black market finance.

Epstein now knows how to operate outside traditional banking systems entirely.

Epstein Files Expose Israeli Occupation of America

MSM grudgingly admits Pizzagaters were on to something

On January 30, the US Department of Justice released what it called “3.5 million responsive pages” in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act spearheaded by Rep. Thomas Massie. Though more than a month late, redacted in bizarrely non-compliant ways, and representing only about half of the Epstein files (the other half are still being illegally withheld) the DOJ document dump provided abundant, irrefutable evidence that the “antisemitic conspiracy theorists” have been right all along: The United States of America is occupied by a Jewish supremacist crime ring based in Israel.

The documents show that when then-United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Alex Acosta gave convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart plea deal in 2008 because Epstein “belonged to intelligence,” he was referring to Israeli intelligence. According to FBI files, Acosta’s source was Alan Dershowitz, Epstein’s lawyer, who himself represented Israeli intelligence.

Epstein should have gone to prison for years or decades, as would any other criminal convicted of the same charges. But the notorious sex trafficker got a work-release wrist slap. Since when can a foreign intelligence agency tell a US Attorney not to do his job?

The latest document dump confirms that Epstein, who was groomed as a sexual blackmailer by Les Wexner’s MEGA group of billionaire Mossad spies, was “trained as a spy by (Israel’s former military intelligence chief and Prime Minister) Ehud Barak,” who visited Epstein’s New York mansion on dozens of occasions. Barak and Epstein teamed up not only to blackmail American political, economic, and cultural leaders, but also to funnel huge sums of money to politicians in various nations—bribes in return for those politicians following Israel’s orders.

The new document dump reveals that Epstein worked with Israel to support their Ukrainian asset Zelensky, and to try to overthrow Russia’s Vladimir Putin and replace him with an Israeli stooge named Ilya Ponomatov. Epstein, we also learn, was involved in the overthrow of Libya’s Gaddafi. The Mossad blackmailer helped cultivate Israel’s relations with separatists in the imaginary nation of “Somaliland” (which only Israel recognizes). He brokered Israel’s ties with India’s Prime Minister Modi, and maintained close relationships with top UK leaders including Tony Blair and Peter “love the torture video” Mandelson.

These and other revelations prove that Epstein was not just a sexual blackmailer. Since his job was to establish compromising personal relationships with the world’s most powerful people, Epstein was also used by Israel as a high-level international power broker. “I represent the Rothschilds,” Epstein wrote to Peter Thiel, referring to the banking dynasty that created Israel.

CNN uncovered multiple unredacted videos inside DOJ Epstein files, including footage where a girl says she is just 15 years old.

These files sat in government custody for years.

Andrew accused of watching as girl 'tortured with electrical shocks' by Ghislaine Maxwell

A FBI report alleges the former prince watched as a girl aged six to eight years old was 'tortured with electrical shocks' by Ghislaine Maxwell, with Andrew denying all wrongdoing

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been accused of watching a young girl, aged between six and eight years old, being subjected to electric shock torture.

This allegation, which emerged in the Epstein files released just weeks ago, asserts that the electric shocks were administered at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, Berkshire, reports the Express.

Surrey Police are encouraging individuals to share any information regarding non-recent human trafficking and sexual assault claims following separate allegations pertinent to that county. The force has confirmed that this appeal is unrelated to the electric shock torture allegations that appeared in the Epstein Files.

The force revealed it became aware of a redacted report alleging historic human trafficking and sexual assaults on a minor in Virginia Water village between 1994 and 1996.

Surrey Police confirmed they have found no evidence of the allegations being reported to them. A Surrey Police spokesperson stated: "After reviewing our systems using the limited information available to us, we found no evidence of these allegations being reported to Surrey Police."

The police force added: "We therefore encourage anyone with information in relation to these allegations to report this to us online, or via 101. We take all reports of child and sexual abuse seriously and therefore, as with any other matter, should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any information resulting from the release of materials in the US, we will assess it.

"Where relevant, and via the national coordination group, we will engage with law enforcement agencies to obtain access to further information which may support our enquiries. It is important that any information is reviewed objectively and without speculation."

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied any wrongdoing and accusations against him. Being named in the Epstein documents does not necessarily suggest any wrongdoing.

Tommy-Boi wins over Portland antifa! Pure genius! Tommy-Boi has figured something out... when antifa chants, they're trying to annoy us into submission. Tommy-Boi is using a megaphone that is louder than antifa can chant and he has a repeat button, so he's simply holding the megaphone while it repeats his chant, while antifa tries as hard as they can to shout over him until their voices give out and they throw up their hands and walk away in defeat. Annoy antifa into submission with Patriotic chants like on this video at 40:45!

Russia attacked by drones and missiles, oil depot and thermal power plant hit

19.02.2026 10:50

In the Pskov region of the Russian Federation, a tank containing petroleum products caught fire after a drone attack on a local oil depot on Thursday night.

According to Ukrinform, the governor of the region, Mikhail Vedernikov, announced this, as reported by the Astra Telegram channel.

According to locals, the incident occurred at an oil depot in Velikie Luki.

Astra's analysis and witness footage confirmed a fire at the Velikie Luki oil depot after a drone attack in the Pskov region.

A protective net was erected over the tanks at the oil depot. Astra's OSINT analyst suggested that several drones breached this net, sparking a large fire.

Pskovnefteprodukt LLC owns the Velikie Luki oil depot. The facility stores petroleum products — diesel fuel, gasoline, and other types of petroleum products — for further shipment and distribution to a network of gas stations, enterprises, and transport companies.

Nastoyashchee Vremya reports, citing the Telegram channel “Pepel Belgorod,” that the Russian city of Belgorod and the surrounding region were left partially without power after a missile strike on energy facilities.

The power outage affected several streets in Belgorod and six villages in the suburbs. A partial blackout also occurred in the city of Shebekino and the surrounding area. It is reported that a strike at the Belgorod Thermal Power Plant caused the power outage.

The region's governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, confirmed the attack, “extensive damage,” and partial loss of electricity and heat. According to him, the strike was carried out with missiles, not drones.

Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot down 113 drones overnight over six regions of the aggressor country.

It is claimed that 50 drones were shot down over the Bryansk region, 35 over Smolensk, 12 over Tver, 10 over Novgorod, 4 over Leningrad, and another 2 UAVs over the Kaluga region.

As reported by Ukrinform, on the night of February 17, drones from the SSU's Special Operations Center “A” struck one of the largest manufacturers of explosives in Russia and Europe, the Metafrax Chemicals plant.

The effective meme on X (Twitter), or the effective comment on an X propagandist's disinformation post, is based on truth, is wry, is intelligent, is cheerful when appropriate, and is from the perspective of a completed battle.

US personnel draw weapons on Lebanese officials following drone crash near Hamat base

19.02.2026 13:10

US personnel reportedly barred Lebanese authorities from accessing the wreckage of an unidentified unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that crashed near the Hamat Airbase in northern Lebanon during the early hours of February 17, according to security sources cited by The Cradle. The drone, which was detected by security units at the base where US forces are stationed, crashed into a nearby forested area following an intervention.

Patrols from the Hamat municipal police and elements of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) were immediately dispatched to the site to inspect the debris.

US personnel drew weapons against local officials

US personnel on the scene actively obstructed the investigation into the downed UAV. A security source reported that US soldiers drew their weapons to prevent Lebanese officials, including the local mayor, from accessing the crash site.

The US contingent justified the exclusion by citing security concerns, alleging that the drone might have been rigged with explosive booby traps.

While Lebanese authorities were unable to take custody of the UAV, it was subsequently reported that US officials informed them the craft was no longer at its initial discovery point.

Mayor rejects US general’s apology request

A US general stationed at the base reportedly contacted the Mayor of Hamat to offer an apology for the incident; however, the overture was rebuffed.

The mayor declined the request for a meeting, citing his objection to the conduct of the forces stationed at the base in northern Lebanon.

This latest violation of Lebanese airspace occurs as the Israeli military continues to breach the terms of a US-brokered ceasefire.

UNIFIL documents aggressive Israeli drone activity

In early February, units of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) operating near Kafr Kila in southern Lebanon detected two UAVs.

One of the aircraft was reported to be carrying an unidentified object characterized as an “immediate threat.” The UAV reportedly dropped a sound bomb that detonated approximately 50 meters from UNIFIL troops before proceeding toward Israel.

The UN mission emphasized that the drone belonged to the Israeli military and had crossed the Blue Line in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. The statement underscored that the use of armed UAVs in such a manner is unacceptable.

Israel commits over 12,000 violations post-ceasefire

Since Hezbollah suspended its attacks in November 2024, the Israeli military has reportedly violated Lebanese sovereignty more than 12,000 times.

This figure includes over 8,000 airspace violations and approximately 700 airstrikes. Israeli operations have resulted in the deaths of 343 Lebanese nationals and left nearly 1,000 others wounded. Reported civilian casualties include a significant number of women and children.

Israeli forces maintain a military presence at several border points within Lebanese territory, preventing more than 64,000 displaced persons from returning to their homes due to the extent of the destruction.

Katz defends military presence in Lebanese territory

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated on February 18 that the military presence at five points in Southern Lebanon was not a formal component of the ceasefire agreement but was a condition they had imposed, which the US had accepted.

This declaration coincides with reports from the Lebanese government indicating that the army will require at least four months to proceed with the next phase of the plan involving the disarmament of Hezbollah.

U.S. F-35C Shoots Down Iranian Drone Near Carrier in Arabian Sea

February 19, 2026 15:12

U.S. Forces Destroy Iranian Drone

According to UATV: In the Arabian Sea, a U.S. F-35C fighter jet shot down an Iranian Shahed-139 drone as it approached the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

The incident occurred during a routine mission, and military spokesperson Tim Hawkins confirmed the drone was destroyed in an act of self-defense to protect the carrier's personnel.

This marks a notable combat deployment for the advanced F-35C, which operates from the carrier's deck.

Iran's Response and Broader Implications

Following the event, Iran's mission to the United Nations declined to comment, while an Iranian news agency reported a loss of contact with the drone over international waters.

Concurrently, the President of Iran ordered the initiation of talks with the U.S. concerning Iran's nuclear program. This clash underscores the persistent regional tensions between the two nations and highlights the critical importance of security for naval operations.

The strategic Arabian Sea is a vital corridor for global energy shipments, making stability there a key international concern.

The downing of the drone could significantly impact the already strained U.S.-Iran relationship, particularly affecting the ongoing negotiations over Iran's nuclear activities.

As both countries demonstrate military readiness, regional tensions are escalating. Such incidents also risk affecting the security of crucial maritime trade routes and military operations in international waters, with potential consequences for global trade and regional stability.

Drone strikes repeatedly hit civilian areas in Sudan

February 19, 2026

Drone attacks carried out by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are hitting civilian areas and critical infrastructure across Sudan, including schools, crowded markets, health care facilities, and water sources.

In the first two weeks of February, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams treated 167 patients with penetrating injuries, including from drone shrapnel, as well as limb fractures and head injuries.

This pattern of attacks is placing civilians and humanitarian workers at grave risk. MSF is calling for their immediate protection.

On February 15, an MSF team in Adré, eastern Chad, received 18 civilians — including four women and three children — who were injured in SAF drone strikes on a fuel market just across the border in Adikong, West Darfur state.

On February 6, 29 injured people were treated at an MSF-supported hospital in Tine, also in eastern Chad, following two RSF drone attacks in western Sudan which killed at least 10 people, four of whom died in the hospital.

Since that date, patients have been arriving frequently due to strikes.

Drone strikes are not limited to military targets and are causing devastating harm: Civilians, including children, are being killed or severely injured in blatant disregard of international humanitarian law.

Esperanza Santos, MSF head of emergencies

“Among the patients we received, a 9-year-old boy arrived with a large shrapnel wound to his eye, extensive facial fractures, and two amputated fingers,” says Virginia Moneti, MSF project medical coordinator in Tine.

“He was in severe pain and exposed to dust after a long journey to reach the facility. Even with optimal care, he is likely to face long-term disability. He was transferred to Ndjamena for further treatment.”

Our teams in Zalingei, Central Darfur, also treated 29 patients this month following several attacks, including at least eight civilians.

Ongoing attacks endanger health care access

After drone strikes on November 3 in North Darfur, MSF was forced to withdraw from Kornoi and Tine, halting vital medical and humanitarian services. These attacks have made it impossible for MSF to maintain a safe presence, leaving people without essential care.

“The war in Sudan is being fought with drones beyond the front lines,” says Esperanza Santos, MSF head of emergencies. “Our teams are regularly treating large numbers of drone-wounded people, including women and children.

These strikes are used to disrupt supply lines, damage civilian infrastructure, and create siege-like conditions in contested areas.”

In North Kordofan, where MSF recently launched an emergency response in El Obeid, drone strikes reportedly hit a humanitarian convoy, a vehicle carrying displaced people, and a bus station between February 6-7.

Drone attacks reportedly also hit various health facilities in Kadugli and Dilling, South Kordofan state, in the first two weeks of February.

“Recent incidents reveal a disturbing pattern in the conduct of the war in Sudan,” adds Santos.

“Drone strikes are not limited to military targets, but sometimes with multiple follow-up strikes on the same location, and are causing devastating harm: Civilians, including children, are being killed or severely injured in blatant disregard of international humanitarian law.

Armed actors must take immediate measures to protect civilians and humanitarian workers. Civilians must be always spared.”

When civilian areas and humanitarian infrastructure are not respected, our teams cannot operate safely, leaving communities without essential care.

This is the exact opposite of what the people of Sudan urgently require, as humanitarian needs are immense and an immediate scale-up of assistance is critical.

The Digest:

Troops of Operation HADIN KAI, in coordination with local vigilantes and hunters, have neutralised a former hybrid Boko Haram commander, Abdullahi Mafa, in the Madagali area of Zamfara State.

In a separate operation, troops arrested a suspected drone and logistics supplier for the terrorists, Dauda Usman Gubula, during a raid at Madagali Motor Park.

According to security expert Zagazola Makama, troops engaged suspected Boko Haram fighters in an ambush along the Visik River line, leading to Mafa's elimination.

Items recovered from Gubula included two aerial drones and 20 solar power banks. The suspect is currently in custody, under investigation as troops intensify operations to dismantle Boko Haram networks and restore security in the region.

Key Points:

The elimination of a key commander disrupts Boko Haram's operational command structure in the North-West.

Arresting a drone supplier degrades the terrorists' surveillance and attack capabilities.

Local communities gain relief, while the military demonstrates the effectiveness of coordinated operations.

This signals the military's expanding counter-insurgency footprint beyond the North-East.

The timing, with recovered drones, shows evolving terrorist tactics requiring adaptive responses.

Troops continue mop-up operations as investigations proceed on the arrested drone supplier, aiming to dismantle broader terrorist logistics networks.

B.C. drone pilot convicted of interference during 2023 wildfire in Kelowna

February 18, 2026 at 7:32PM EST

A man who piloted a drone over Okanagan Lake during the destructive 2023 wildfire in Kelowna, B.C., has been convicted of interfering with the government’s fire-suppression efforts.

Derek Leippi pleaded not guilty to the Wildfire Act offence, but was found liable last week in Kelowna provincial court.

The court heard Leippi was trying to capture video of the charred remnants of Lake Okanagan Resort when conservation officers confiscated his drone on Aug. 27 of that year.

He testified that he’d been unaware crews were actively battling a wildfire nearby—but Judge Cathie Heinrichs was not convinced, describing the blaze as a “notable event” for the entire Okanagan region.

“It was common knowledge that the fire was extensive, vast numbers of people were evacuated and displaced, and many people lost their homes and businesses,” Heinrichs said in her Feb. 9 decision.

“A reasonable person would have made inquiries about the status of the fire and whether there was ongoing firefighting activity.”

The court heard conservation officers first spotted Leippi on a boat near the shore, and asked him to leave as a helicopter was bucketing water.

Around that time, the helicopter pilot spotted Leippi’s drone, became irritated, and started trying to dump water onto the device so it would crash into the lake, according to the decision.

After two unsuccessful attempts, the pilot flew off to continue bucketing the wildfire.

Heinrichs concluded that the presence of the drone—and the emotional impact it had on the helicopter pilot—constituted an interference.

“He took a few minutes to attempt to eliminate the drone, due to a potential risk to the helicopter, which prevented him from focusing on the firefighting work,” she said.

“During the time he was attempting to eliminate the drone, he could have been halfway back to the fire he was helping to suppress.”

The judge also noted that while Leippi was “co-operative and respectful” with the conservation officers after they approached him and asked him to leave, he did not disclose that he was flying a drone or immediately stop doing so.

Instead, Leippi steered the device closer to the lake to avoid getting in the helicopter’s way. The conservation officers eventually noticed the drone “as a result of the helicopter’s unusual actions” as the pilot was drying to douse it with water, according to the decision.

“Even if he was unaware of the firefighting efforts when he first started his boat trip and filming, at the point when the officers first asked him to move his boat, he was on notice of the firefighting operations and should have immediately retrieved the drone, not simply lowered it and maintained it in flight,” Heinrichs said.

Leippi has not been sentenced. Under the Wildfire Act, drone operators convicted of interfering with suppression efforts can be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to more than a year behind bars.

Dietary simple SUGARSs alter microbial ecology in the gut and promote (ULCERATIVE) colitis in mice

(Crohn's disease / Ulceractive Colitis / IBD)

Harmful sweetness

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) include multiple disorders characterized by chronic gastrointestinal inflammation. Although the etiology of these diseases is mostly unknown, Western diet and lifestyle seem to be associated with higher IBD incidence. Here, Khan et al. studied the effect of high-sugar diet on colitis in rodent models and showed that a diet high in simple sugars aggravated colitis in mouse models when administered before or after colitis induction. The effect was mediated by alteration of gut microbiota, with an increase of mucolytic bacteria that facilitated gut mucus barrier degradation. The results suggest that high-sugar diet might promote gut microbiota dysfunction and IBD development.

Abstract

The higher prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Western countries points to Western diet as a possible IBD risk factor. High sugar, which is linked to many noncommunicable diseases, is a hallmark of the Western diet, but its role in IBD remains unknown. Here, we studied the effects of simple sugars such as glucose and fructose on colitis pathogenesis in wild-type and Il10−/− mice. Wild-type mice fed 10% glucose in drinking water or high-glucose diet developed severe colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium. High-glucose–fed Il10−/− mice also developed a worsened colitis compared to glucose-untreated Il10−/− mice. Short-term intake of high glucose or fructose did not trigger inflammatory responses in healthy gut but markedly altered gut microbiota composition. In particular, the abundance of the mucus-degrading bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila and Bacteroides fragilis was increased. Consistently, bacteria-derived mucolytic enzymes were enriched leading to erosion of the colonic mucus layer of sugar-fed wild-type and Il10−/− mice.

Sugar-induced exacerbation of colitis was not observed when mice were treated with antibiotics or maintained in a germ-free environment, suggesting that altered microbiota played a critical role in sugar-induced colitis pathogenesis. Furthermore, germ-free mice colonized with microbiota from sugar-treated mice showed increased colitis susceptibility.

Together, these data suggest that intake of simple sugars predisposes to colitis and enhances its pathogenesis via modulation of gut microbiota in mice.

🚨#BREAKING I have obtained horrifying footage from the AC Reynolds High School "ICE OUT!" protest here in Asheville NC.

It appears that not a single adult was with the children when they BOLTED out of classes and into the middle of a 4-lane highway.

This is beyond dangerous and absolutely terrifying to watch as a parent.

Many of the signs are professionally made, they were screaming curse words at drivers, waiving foreign flags, even the signs had curse words on them.

This absolutely must be investigated.

Who is funding this?

Who allowed 200 children to leave school in the middle of the day and run INTO A HIGHWAY to scream at motorists?

This is CLEARLY well funded and CLEARLY supported by the staff from TOP TO BOTTOM in Asheville NC...

This is horrifying footage.

[According to CBSnews.com (4 hours ago), "Andrew, as U.K. trade envoy, may have shared confidential info with Epstein Emails to Epstein from a sender labeled "The Duke" show forwarded reports from overseas trade missions." We have found out in the Epstein files that Epstein was trained "in the field" as a weapons dealer after his stint at Bear Stern. How involved was Andrew, as UK trade envoy, in weapon sales with Epstein?]

Lords of War: The British Monarchy And The Arms Trade

Feb 4 2023

Prince Andrewhas proven to be an enthusiastic advocate for the arms trade as well. In 2002, The Guardian reported that the Duke of York was spotted at a SOFEX (Special Operations Forces Exhibition and Conference) arms fair in Jordan, mingling with British army personnel and employees of the British Defense Manufacturers Association, an organization which lobbies on behalf of British weapon firms. UK troops oversaw the handover of Challenger tanks to Jordan—the same month King Abdullah’s regime shut down a major civil society group, according to political scientist Jillian Schwedler.

Though the press portraysPrince Andrewas a blundering liability, a Buckingham Palace spokesman explained why the Duke of York is so useful to the arms industry: “He brings immeasurable value in smoothing the path for British companies…because of who he is.” Royal prestige and clout open doors, especially among the Gulf dictatorships’ princely and status-conscious elites. In April 2013, for example, Prince Andrew hosted a lavish state visit for President Sheikh Khalifa, the UAE’s absolutist ruler. Journalist Phil Miller says this visit came at a time when London was eager to secure an arms deal worth billions of pounds with the UAE.

Moreover, The New Statesman published in 2007 a photo of Prince William shaking hands with two of Indonesia’s most senior generals in Windsor—a meeting which raised many eyebrows. Jakarta was looking to “build defense relations” with London and perhaps, once again, a royal seal of approval sweetened whatever deal occurred behind the scenes. Human rights activists were quick to remind the public that an indicted war criminal renowned for his atrocities in East Timor, Colonel Burhanuddin Siagian, served as military commander in occupied West Papua at the time. It is quite revealing that tribal leader Benny Wenda, a West Papuan independence advocate, had to write a letter in 2011 urging Prince Andrew not to sell British-made jets used to bomb opposition groups and civilians, as noted in The Times. This strongly implies that London helped Jakarta wage genocidal counter-insurgency operations against Indonesia’s restive Melanesian minority.

Yet King Charles III is by far the most influential salesman in the Windsor family. Journalists Mark Curtis and Phil Miller amply demonstrated how “Charles of Arabia” promoted approximately 14.5 billion worth of British arm exports to eight repressive monarchies for a decade following the Arab Spring. Despots in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, and Oman, unwilling to surrender power to pro-democracy movements or religious minorities, orchestrated a vicious and region-wide counter-revolution. The British arms industry backed this feudal reaction to a hilt.

Charles visited Oman in March 2013 to “promote Britain’s diplomatic, commercial interests”, which involved convincing Muscat to purchase twelve Typhoon and eight Hawk jets from BAE Systems. Although Charles goes to considerable lengths to burnish his image as an admirer of Islamic heritage, he is seemingly unaware that the Omani Sultanate has spent years eradicating cultural and linguistic remnants of the Shihuh tribe in Musandam. Political analyst Catherine Perez-Shakdam says Shihuh villages are routinely emptied, demolished, and replaced with military infrastructure.

In addition, Charles’ alliance with a Saudi monarchy committing apocalyptic crimes in Yemen cannot be overlooked. A few days before visiting Oman in 2013, Charles celebrated the 50th anniversary of the British Military Mission in Riyadh. This occasion coincided with BAE’s attempts to sell Typhoon jets to the Kingdom. Five years later, Charles held a dinner for Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman at Clarence House. BAE again inched closer to selling 48 Typhoons to Riyadh a few days after the meeting. Oxfam recently concluded that the UK fuels “a pattern of violence against civilians” in Yemen. Coalition forces used British and American arms in a quarter of the 1,700 attacks on Yemeni non-combatants last year, although the death toll- 87 killed over a fourteen month period- is likely to be a gross underestimate.
