If Ted Cruz goes to prison it'll be for something much more spectacular than bullshitting.

Confirmation of CTE validates the symptoms he was suffering from but it doesn't explain how suffering turned into hopelessness and then resentment or rage directed at something external and then a plan to make his suicide accomplish something greater. apnews.com/article/nfl-...

Huachicol is fundamental to the extreme violence in Guanajuato, Tabasco, and Hidalgo since 2017, but there's a hell of a lot more to these underworld conflicts than meets the eye. insightcrime.org/news/how-fue...

Something kinda interesting: the war between Israel and Hezbollah rapidly intensified after the pager attacks about a week after the war between the Mayiza and Chapitos factions of the Sinaloa cartel started. 🤔

Everything about this story gives me the creeps. apnews.com/article/911-...

This is a story about agreements made between politicians and drug traffickers and police and landowners and military officers, and about the lines that separate them, but which, in this part of Honduras, have long been erased. beta.elfaro.net/en/from-the-...

This is why it's a waste of time to search for an ideological motive after an attack/suicide like the shooting in Dallas. Extroverted suicides and assassinations on demand are the state of the art of prediction, microtargeting, intervention and behavior modification. www.nytimes.com/2020/01/24/o...

While the USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul putters around on an ambiguous mission puportedly fighting narcoterrorism in the Caribbean, Mexican authorities busted a cartel training cell in Michoacán with a white guy from Minnesota among the detainees. (Via @eco1lvm on X, the everything app)

The story probably gets much worse

It can be said about El Salvador like it can be said about Honduras: There is evidence that all three political machines of the last three decades partnered with organized crime for their political benefit. beta.elfaro.net/en/letter-fr...

Sideburn inspection. The grooming standard will be upheld in this administration.

Following in the footsteps of Viktor Orbán, Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Narendra Modi

Unprecedented and deeply disturbing to see the FBI Director again rushing to inject a narrative frame implicating MAGA's political opponents before the FBI could have possibly even finished collecting evidence and ignoring everything else the FBI probably knows about these kinds of attack/suicides.

Konstantin Malofeev, one of Texas conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's publishers, is hosting Spanish neo-Nazis in St. Petersberg at an event sponsored by Aleksandr Dugin and Alain de Benoist.

"...he wants to achieve the illusion of dominance over drug smuggling, even if his actions make little difference and even if he kills people, guilty or innocent, in the process. The price is a growing number of bodies of nameless foreign citizens who can never defend themselves."

Utterly irresponsible for the FBI director to be more concerned with posting tribal signifiers to social media for impressions than with conducting a full investigation.

As Tether seeks investment from their new headquarters in El Salvador, it's worth recalling that the stablecoin is the preferred digital currency of the underworld used by the North Korean regime, Mexican drug cartels, and human traffickers and scammers in Myanmar. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I pray this is true and I'm just being paranoid and biased because I profoundly distrust the president that administratively dismantled OCDETF, demanded a list of names of every federal agent involved in investigations of the Oct 7 attack, and pled out El Mayo, RCQ, and Z-40.

My biased gut reaction to this story is cautious skepticism because I profoundly distrust DHS, the Trump administration, and NYPD. If this is really what USSS suspects, why go public with the NYC story before completing investigations in other cities?

Documents offer rare insight on ICE's intimate relationship with Palantir www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Extremely good news with geopolitical implications (believe it or not).

Although there are Navy and Marine forces afloat in the area, I think it’s very unlikely they’re actually executing these boat strikes. Armed MQ-9 Reapers have been photographed in western Puerto Rico—this is a special operations task force, likely from JSOC, working on behalf of SOUTHCOM.

The rise — particularly from 2012 to 2016 — in Americans viewing government as corrupt. www.pbump.net/o/republican...

For the sake of argument, let's pretend that the pristine and suspiciously even-numbered 1000 kg load purportedly recovered among the debris and inexplicably presented two days after the strike was announced is really from the vessel in the video. What happened to the drugs from the first 2 strikes?

Holy shit

I would love to see a single shred of documentary proof that the cocaine the Dominican Republic purportedly seized was in fact from the vessel targeted in the extrajudicial drone strike by SOCSOUTH. Until they produce that, it would foolish to accept this claim at face value in my opinion.

Accounts like Acyn, Aaron Rupar, Ron Filipkowski, Occupy Democrats, etc. probably exist to flood the zone and draw engagement and reactions from liberal target audiences for analysis that exclusively benefits MAGA. It's not clear if the Democrats have even figured that out yet.

In fairness to Derek Maltz, I have to agree that a few demonstrations of force in Mexico would have looked a lot less incoherent and ridiculous than this.

It would be hilarious if Trump fires the guy that's helping him cover up crimes including a conspiracy with Nayib Bukele and MS-13 trafficking precursor to the Sinaloa cartel and arming the CJNG because the guy is struggling to cook up bogus charges against his opps. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

After DOGE outed Mohammad Halimi on social media, Taliban intelligence agents blindfolded and took three of his family members to a remote prison. They were repeatedly beaten and questioned about Halimi and his recently publicized work for the United States.

This sounds more like Derek Maltz and the rest of the 'New York Mafia' chuds providing cover for a compromised president. There's not a chance Derek Maltz doesn't understand why there was a plea deal and no death penalty or attempt to induce cooperation from Mayo Zambada, RCQ, and the Treviño bros.

I doubt he would use it to do much more than what he's already done (executing a few bottom-of-the-food-chain smugglers for show). From the outside, it certainly appears that he's constrained in Mexico and Venezuela for reasons I can only speculate about. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

There's a direct correlation between the rise of algorithmically reinforced us-versus-them populist political movements and the dominion of ubiquitous technical surveillance accumulating granular personal data in perpetually larger databases for analysis and exploitation with AI.

Why would the Trump administration increase the reward on Maduro to double the bounty on Bin Laden over drugs, while easing sanctions on Venezuela so Chevron can ship oil, AND cutting a deal with the Sinaloa cartel leader for nothing in return while drone striking peons??

Another absolute banger about Trump's "special envoy to Africa" Massad Boulos, Turkish oil billionaire Ruya Bayegan, the U.S.-sanctioned Libyan national security adviser Ibrahim Dbeibeh, and Greek "real estate tycoon" Ioannis Papalekas owner of a few properties in Romania. The A-Team of sleaze.
