Kristi Noem claims 1 in 6 survivors of Lahaina wildfires were forced to trade sexual favors for supplies

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has claimed one in six survivors of the Lahaina wildfires in Hawaii had to trade sexual and other favors to get basic supplies.

The comments were seemingly in reference to a report on female Filipino survivors, which one of the authors called a “gross manipulation” of the report, according to Politico.

At a review meeting for the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Wednesday, Noem said, ​​“After the wildfires in Maui, residents voiced concerns that every FEMA employee that they spoke with had different answers.”

“None of them had conversations that resulted in getting assistance that was helpful or any clarity in their situations,” she added. “The situation in Lahaina was so bad that one in six survivors were forced to trade sexual favors, other favors for just basic supplies.”

The study on Filipino female survivors was conducted by Tagnawa, which states that it is a “Filipino feminist disaster response organization” in Hawaii. The review included responses from 70 female Filipino fire survivors and found that 16 percent had engaged in “survival sex in exchange for basic necessities post-disaster,” with “a landlord, an employer, family members, friends and acquaintances.”

Judge orders Trump administration to stop immigration arrests without probable cause in Southern California


A federal judge on Friday found that the Department of Homeland Security has been making stops and arrests in Los Angeles immigration raids without probable cause and ordered the department to stop detaining individuals based solely on race, spoken language or occupation.

US District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, ordered that DHS must develop guidance for officers to determine “reasonable suspicion” outside of the apparent race or ethnicity of a person, the language they speak or their accent, “presence at a particular location” such as a bus stop or “the type of work one does.”

Friday’s ruling comes after the ACLU of Southern California brought a case against the Trump administration last week on behalf of five people and immigration advocacy groups, alleging that DHS — which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement — has made unconstitutional arrests and prevented detainees’ access to attorneys.

The ruling is limited to the seven-county jurisdiction of the US Central District of California, which includes Los Angeles and surrounding areas.

Prominent French LGBT Activist Operated Pedophile Ring Using His Own Foster Children, Some As Young As 5 Months Old

Disturbing new information has been released in the case of the prominent French left-wing LGBT activist who ran an international pedophile network. Pierre-Alain Cottineau, 32, was arrested in September of last year after being traced back to the horrific sexual torture of a 4-year-old disabled girl.

Cottineau first became a target for investigators after OFMIN, a branch of the French police specifically focused on crimes involving children, became aware of a violent child sexual abuse video being exchanged through Telegram. The video appeared to show a disabled girl being sexually abused by an adult man. Incredibly, investigators were able to ascertain the whereabouts of the young victim by tracing the sale and shipment history of a very unique medical bed seen in the footage.

The child was reportedly placed into Cottineau’s care after he obtained approval from Child Welfare services to become a foster parent just months before the filmed abuse took place. Disturbingly, Cottineau had specifically requested to foster children under the age of 6.

EPA’s Lee Zeldin publishes facts page debunking claims that ‘chemtrails’ alter weather

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin rolled out a new facts page Thursday debunking wild claims — including from his fellow Republicans — that so-called “chemtrails” are being sprayed from aircraft to change the weather, alter populations or even control people’s minds.

In a video message accompanying the launch, Zeldin said the new webpages were written to inform “anyone who’s ever looked up to the streaks in the sky and asked, ‘What the heck is going on?’”

“We did the legwork, looked at the science, consulted agency experts, and pulled in relevant outside information to put these online resources together,” he added.

“Everything we know about contrails to solar geoengineering will be in there.”

The EPA website explains how condensation trails, or “contrails,” are common exhaust clouds left behind by high-altitude aircraft and visible to Americans gazing up at the sky “for the same reason that you can see the exhaust from your vehicle or your own breath on a cold day.”

Japan Achieves World Record 1.02 Petabits per Second Internet Speed

Japanese scientists at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) have set a new world record by sending data at 1.02 petabits per second (over 125 terabytes per second) over a fiber optic cable spanning 1,808 kilometers. Using a 19-core fiber cable and advanced amplification tech, they achieved a data transfer rate equivalent to more than 125 terabytes per second. To give a sense of scale, this means transferring massive amounts of information — like the entire Netflix library — in less than a second or streaming millions of 4K videos all at once.

While still in the research phase, this breakthrough holds promise for the future of internet infrastructure. It could significantly speed up 5G and upcoming 6G networks, improve cloud computing and AI data handling, and pave the way for enormous storage devices like 1-petabyte SSDs. The tech is expected to make data transfers faster and more efficient across industries.

That said, faster speeds also come with challenges. Infrastructure remains vulnerable; for example, submarine cables can be damaged by ship anchors, as recently happened in Finland. Plus, the higher the data rates, the more important cybersecurity becomes to protect sensitive information.

Appeals Court Throws Out Plea Deal for 9/11 Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad

In 2024, The Gateway Pundit reported that then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced the revocation of a plea deal previously reached with Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, the alleged mastermind behind the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, along with two of his co-conspirators, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

This decision effectively reinstated the possibility of the death penalty for the trio.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the plea deal, reached between the Convening Authority for Military Commissions and the defendants and signed by retired Brig. Gen. Susan K. Escallier, was intended to ‘mitigate’ the legal repercussions for the accused while allowing them to avoid capital punishment.

On Friday, a federal appeals court upheld Austin’s decision to undo the plea deal.

Fox News reports:

A divided federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., on Friday tossed out an agreement that would have allowed 9/11 terror mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to plead guilty in another failed effort to end a years-long legal saga surrounding the military prosecution of men held at Guantánamo Bay.

The 2-1 D.C. Circuit appeals court decision upheld then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s decision to undo the plea deal approved by military lawyers and senior Pentagon staff.

The deal would have carried life without parole sentences for Mohammed and two co-defendants, potentially taking capital punishment off the table.

The original plea deal garnered outrage from various political factions and advocacy groups who argued that any leniency shown to those involved in the 9/11 attacks undermines justice for the nearly 3,000 victims and their families.

In making his decision, Austin wrote, “I have determined that, in light of the significance of the decision to enter into pre-trial agreements with the accused in the above-referenced case, responsibility for such a decision should rest with me as the superior convening authority under the Military Commissions Act of 2009.”

“Effective immediately, I hereby withdraw your authority in the above-referenced case to enter into a pre-trial agreement and reserve such authority to myself. Effective immediately, in the exercise of my authority, I hereby withdraw from the three pre-trial agreements that you signed on July 31, 2024 in the above-referenced case,” he added.

Canadian Mountie Assigned to G7 Under Criminal Investigation for Making “Violent” Threats Against President Trump and Leaking Info About Trump’s Movements at Alberta G7 Summit

A Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer who was assigned to the G7 summit in Alberta last month is under investigation for posting “violent” threats against President Donald Trump and of leaking information about Trump’s movements at the summit, according to a report by Le Journal de Montreal.

The G7 was held June 15-17 in Kananaskis, Alberta, located in the Canadian Rockies.

Trump abruptly left the summit a day early to deal with the Middle East (Iran-Israel war), according to a statement by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.

— Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) June 16, 2025

The threat report comes two days before the one year anniversary of the assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania that wounded Trump and two supporters and killed supporter Corey Comperatore.

Trump survived a second attempt on his life last September 15 when an alert Secret Service agent fired on a would-be assassin holding a rifle near a hole at one of Trump’s golf courses in West Palm Beach, Florida as Trump was playing a few holes away.

The government of Iran has also plotted to assassinate Trump, with an alleged operative being charged by the U.S. last fall.

EPA Promises ‘Total Transparency On The Issues Of Geoengineering And Contrails’

As this Substack has been exposing for many years, geoengineering is an all too real weather warfare program, with the government owning the following patents (just like they own patents for the Modified nRMA slow kill bioweapon C19 “vaccines”):

  • US3613992A – Weather Modification by Artificial Satellites (1971): Method for modifying wether using satellites.
  • US3564253A – Artificial Ion Cloud Method and Apparatus (1971): For creating artificial ion clouds to alter atmospheric conditions.
  • US4686605A – Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth’s Atmosphere (1987): This patent, linked to HAARP, describes a system for altering the ionosphere.
  • US20060201547A1 – Hurricane and Tornado Control Device (2006): A method of disrupting or controlling the energy of hurricanes and tornadoes.
  • US2007012532A1 – System and Method for Wind and Water Alteration (2007): Used to control atmospheric conditions, specifically rain and wind.

And if weather warfare geoengineering were such a crazy conspiracy theory, then why was NOAA tasked with monitoring weather manipulation projects under the Weather Modification Reporting Act of 1972?

And if weather warfare geoengineering were such a crazy conspiracy theory, then why did the U.S. sign on to the international treaty known as the Environmental Modification Convention (ENMOD) in 1977, which prohibits the military or any hostile force from deploying environmental modification methods, not limited to weather manipulation, in warfare?

The ENMOD Convention includes the following:

  • Article 1 prohibits the use of environmental modification techniques as a means of destruction, damage, or injury to any other State Party.
  • The Convention defines environmental modification techniques as deliberate manipulations of natural processes affecting the earth’s biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, or outer space.
  • The treaty entered into force for the United States on January 17, 1980, after the ratification by the Senate.

Of course, ENMOD also leverages the whole “climate change” scam back when it was called Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW), except that now there is no warming on average, but we digress.

NORTHERN DYSTOPIA: Royal Canadian Mounted Police Warns Citizens To Be Vigilant, for ‘People With Traditional Values Can Be Extremists’

Woke Canada keeps descending into pure madness, led by the Globalist Liberal party. Justin Trudeau is out, Mark Carney is in, but the dystopian developments continue unabated.

For the canucks in power, it is progressive to defend mass migration, abortion and euthanasia, transgender dysphoria, ‘net zero’ and the church of climate change… the list is endless.

But, of course, the majority of normal people in Canada need to be kept in check by their Liberal overlords, so common, ordinary behavior needs to be vilified.

So now, warnings by Canadian Police arise that ‘people with traditional values could be extremists’.

If you like “traditional values,” such as mothers raising their children instead of daycare workers, this RCMP spokeswoman says you might be an extremist. pic.twitter.com/TpDBPAYmec

The Telegraph reported:

“Staff Sgt Camille Habel, the spokeswoman for Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), urged people to be vigilant following the arrest of four people in Quebec, who were allegedly involved in ‘ideologically motivated violent extremism’.”

Sotomayor Had To Explain The Law To KBJ Like She Was A 5th Grader

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was severely castigated and mocked by the 6-3 majority in the “birthright citizenship” (aka “universal injunction”) case for her Dissent which the normally staid Amy Coney Barrett (joined by five other Justices) termed “at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself.” No other Justice, not even Sotomayor or Kagan, joined in KJB’s dissent, which contained numerous KBJ-isms: I’ll meet your “(wait for it)” and raise you a “full stop”.

KJB is carving out as niche among liberals as the “Great Dissenter” – but her dissents are so shallow that in the recent case in which the majority (8-1) stayed a district court order halting the mere planning for layoffs, Sotomayor had to spell out for KBJ why her solo dissent was legally unsound (emphasis added):

I agree with JUSTICE JACKSON that the President cannot restructure federal agencies in a manner inconsistent with congressional mandates. See post, at 13. Here, however, the relevant Executive Order directs agencies to plan reorganizations and reductions in force “consistent with applicable law,” App. to Application for Stay 2a, and the resulting joint memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget and Office of Personnel Management reiterates as much. The plans themselves are not before this Court, at this stage, and we thus have no occasion to consider whether they can and will be carried out consistent with the constraints of law. I join the Court’s stay because it leaves the District Court free to consider those questions in the first instance.
