Kuwait Turns To Anduril For $2 Billion Counter-Drone Shield After Horrifying Airport Attack

The moment an Iranian Shahed-136 drone struck Kuwait International Airport last week appears to have been a major wake-up call for Kuwaiti officials. The incident likely crystallized a troubling reality: legacy air-defense systems are not enough to counter the Shahed drone threat spreading across the Gulf, and Kuwait needs to supercharge the deployment of layered counter-UAS systems with both electronic and kinetic defeat capabilities.

The State Department revealed shortly after the airport attack last week that it approved a potential $1.98 billion foreign military sale to Kuwait for Anduril-made counter-drone systems.

“The Government of Kuwait has requested to buy counter-unmanned aerial systems platforms,” the State Department wrote in a press release.

SNAP Benefits Go To 186,000 Dead People… And Stopping Them Might Be Difficult

President Donald Trump’s anti-fraud efforts have brought renewed focus on issues plaguing the welfare system, including the millions of dollars in food stamps that are being sent to dead recipients.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released a report last month stating that 185,986 deceased people in 29 states were receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as of July 1, 2025, at an annual cost of $419.6 million. It also reported an additional $3 billion in potential fraud, waste, and abuse.

On May 21, a federal jury convicted a man who stole the identity of Carlos Ramon Obregon, who was killed in a 1977 Los Angeles drive-by shooting. Decades after the 14-year-old’s death, the defendant used the dead teen’s identity to collect about $283,000 in government benefits, including SNAP benefits, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, and COVID-19 payments.

That’s just one example that the administration has outlined to highlight the issue. Here’s what to know about the problem of dead recipients, which has been lingering for decades.

Renewed Focus by Trump Admin

Trump directed federal agencies via executive order in March 2025 to ensure “unfettered access” to data from federally funded state programs such as SNAP, also known as food stamps.

In response, the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service told state agencies on May 6, 2025, that all records associated with SNAP must be made available to the federal government.

“For years, this program has been on autopilot, with no USDA insight into real-time data,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins wrote in a letter to states.

Following the USDA’s demand for detailed information on food stamp recipients to review for fraud, a coalition of 21 states and the District of Columbia filed a federal lawsuit against the USDA, accusing the agency of unlawfully demanding massive amounts of sensitive SNAP recipient data.

Voter Fraud: Los Angeles County Woman Pleads Guilty To Paying People In Skid Row To Vote

A woman who worked as a longtime signature collector for ballot initiatives pleaded guilty on June 8 to paying homeless people in Los Angeles’ Skid Row and elsewhere $2 or $3 to register to vote.

Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, 64, of Marina del Rey, also known as “Anika,” entered a plea to one count of paying another person to register to vote, a federal charge that carries a penalty of up to five years behind bars.

Sentencing was scheduled for Aug. 31.

According to her plea agreement, for nearly 20 years, Armstrong periodically worked as a “petition circulator.” In that role, she was paid by coordinators to collect voter signatures on official petitions that qualify initiatives, referendums and recalls for California state ballots. Prosecutors said Armstrong drove around the Los Angeles area to find registered voters to sign the petitions.

After gathering enough signatures, Armstrong returned the petitions to her coordinators, who then paid her a set amount for each registered voter’s signature. The amount she was paid varied depending on the specific ballot initiative. Because her coordinators only paid for signatures attributable to registered voters, Armstrong endeavored to ensure the people who signed her petitions were registered voters, court papers show.

Armstrong admitted soliciting signatures in Skid Row, a convenient place for the defendant to collect signatures because of its high concentration of people in a relatively small area who were willing to sign petitions in exchange for cash.

Armstrong regularly paid amounts between $2 and $3 to induce people to sign her petitions, officials said.

Prosecutors said some homeless people did not have an address to put on the forms, so on occasion, Armstrong provided her own former address in Los Angeles to write on the registration form. Such registration forms simultaneously registered an individual to vote in California elections and in federal elections.

“This is not an allegation, this is not a theory, this is an example of admitted voter fraud,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said when Armstrong was charged. “We’re going to aggressively prosecute voter fraud.”

A video shot by conservative media figure James O’Keefe and reposted by an account called “Real America’s Voice” showed a woman handing cash to a homeless person. In a post on social media, O’Keefe said his video led to Armstrong being charged.

Essayli said on June 5 that his office has “multiple” probes underway into alleged voting fraud. While declining to provide any specifics, he pointed to the Armstrong case as an example of the sort of thing he is investigating.

“Yes, there is evidence of election fraud in California,” he said.

The comments came one day after President Donald Trump publicly accused Democrats of engaging in election fraud in California, pointing to the legally established mail-in voting process.

Essayli also said his office is working with Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon in an effort to audit the state’s voter rolls.

Essayli said previously that Armstrong’s arrest coincided with arguments in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) appeal of the dismissal of a lawsuit over voter registration records.

The DOJ sued California Secretary of State Shirley Weber last year, demanding the state hand over the unredacted voter file, which includes registered voters’ full names, residential addresses, driver’s license numbers, and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers.

The DOJ claimed it had the right to access the data under powers granted by the Civil Rights Act of 1960, the Help America Vote Act, and the National Voter Registration Act.

In January, a Santa Ana federal judge dismissed the case after finding that the DOJ’s request for the information violates federal privacy laws. The defense also argued that the Trump administration wants to use the data to help enforce its immigration policy.

WHO Doubles Down On Global Vaccine Agenda 2030: More Shots, More “Misinformation” Crackdowns, And Zero Accountability For Harms

In a message released this week, Dr. Kate O’Brien, Director of the World Health Organization’s Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals, delivered a clear warning to the world: the globalist vaccine agenda is not slowing down — it’s accelerating.

Marking the halfway point of the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) at the 79th World Health Assembly, O’Brien and global health partners recommitted to “reaching everyone, everywhere with life-saving vaccines.” They called immunization the “most powerful, cost-effective and equitable health intervention” and positioned strong vaccine programs as the cornerstone of “global health security” and emergency preparedness.

O’Brien openly admits routine immunization coverage is slipping in many countries, outbreaks of “vaccine-preventable diseases” are spreading, and inequities are worsening. But instead of pausing to examine why public trust has collapsed, the WHO’s solution is to blame “misinformation,” push harder for catch-up campaigns like “The Big Catch-Up,” and prepare for the next round of rapid vaccine deployment during inevitable (or planned?) “future shocks.”

She explicitly calls for efforts to “debunk misinformation,” “build up trust,” and integrate surveillance, immunization, and emergency response systems. In plain English that means more censorship, more behavioral nudges, and tighter coordination between governments, Big Pharma, and international bodies to ensure compliance.

This comes after the highly controversial COVID-19 vaccine rollout — the most heavily promoted, mandated, and profitable pharmaceutical campaign in history — which left millions reporting injuries, excess deaths in highly vaccinated populations, and risks for myocarditis, neurological issues and fertility impacts that were dismissed or downplayed for years despite being legitimate concerns.

Karmelo Anthony Sentenced to 35 Years in Prison – Eligible For Parole After Half Time Served – Austin Metcalf’s Dad Unloads on Karmelo Anthony

This is outrageous.

Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison after a jury convicted him of murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf.

19-year-old Karmelo Anthony will be eligible for parole after half time served.

He was facing 99 years in prison.

16-year-old track and football star Austin Metcalf was brutally stabbed to death by Karmelo Anthony in April 2025 during a championship track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

Numerous eyewitnesses testified that Karmelo Anthony was the aggressor and instigated the fight.

Austin Metcalf’s father unloaded on Karmelo Anthony:

“We were robbed, don’t look down, of all of these things.”

“I said from day one, this was never about race, please don’t politicize it. But what did you choose to do, both. It’s about right and wrong. We’re all humans. We all bleed the same color.

“You’re free to make choices all you want, but you’re not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today.”

“People think that grief is sadness but its not. IT”S RAGE!!! (slamming his hands on the table.) Pure unfiltered rage,’ he shouts.

“You failed your parents, your failed yourself and you failed society, You don’t belong in this community,” he says to Karmelo.

“You’re going to prison, You can’t even look me in the eyes right now but you can stab my fu**ing son in the heart.”

Graham ‘Nazi Tattoo’ Platner Wins Maine’s Democrat Senate Primary – Will Face Off Against Susan Collins

They actually did it. The Democrats voted for a guy with a Nazi tattoo.

Graham Platner, the scandal-plagued Communist, won Maine’s Democrat Senate Primary on Tuesday evening.

Platner will face off with Susan Collins in the general election this November.

Platner’s campaign has been marred by the revelation of his Nazi tattoo, hateful Reddit posts, sexual text messages with women while he was married and accusations of sexual abuse by ex-girlfriends.

The 41-year-old has an actual SS Death head tattooed on his chest.

But the Democrats are still supporting Platner.

Platner went into hiding earlier this month as one scandal after another continued to rock his campaign.

As Platner was hiding from the press, The New York Times dropped a nasty hit piece on him.

The New York Times dropped a devastating report with disturbing claims from Graham Platner’s ex-girlfriends.

One ex-girlfriend claimed Platner locked her in a room and forcefully grabbed her.

Platner delivered remarks after his primary win.

Rep. Wesley Hunt Schools Jasmine Crocket After Her Toxic Rant Insisting Blacks Cannot Compete on a Level Playing Field

Rep. Wesley Hunt blasted Jasmine Crockett today at the House hearing after her toxic rant on race.

As reported earlier by Jordan Conradson:

Outgoing Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) went on an unhinged screaming rant against White men on Tuesday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, probing the Southern Poverty Law Center’s funding of extremist groups to weaponize the government against conservatives. 

Crockett will be leaving Congress after losing her primary for US Senate in Texas.

A federal indictment charges the SPLC with wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering after funneling millions in tax-exempt funds to neo-Nazi groups and manufacturing the hate they claim to combat. The group used its power over the Biden Justice Department and FBI to target conservative groups like Moms for Liberty, Turning Point USA, Alliance Defending Freedom, and pro-life Catholics.

Crockett used her time during the hearing to rail against Republicans for questioning the SPLC’s illegal tactics and scream about “White men.” Using her heavily emphasized fake black accent, Crockett launched her racist attack, saying Republicans on the Committee are not credible because “the vast majority of them are White men.”

Crockett went on to reference past statements made by Charlie Kirk, including, “If I see a black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified,” a criticism of DEI practices; “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the mid 1960s,” a crituique of the “permanent DEI-type bureaucracy,” and federal courts’ interpretation of the law, not the rights granted to minorities; and “Large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America,” an objective fact about Islam’s incompatability with American culture and values.

After her toxic rant was complete Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) took the loudmouth Democrat to the woodshed.

Rep. Hunt explained to Crocket that he was a “black pilot” and he became a pilot before the left started pushing DEI policies to ease requirements for minorities and women regardless of their skill.

Disclosure Extraterrestrial Presence How Much Will the Government Tell Us?

Before going on about the US government’s decision to give disclosure, first, let’s give the subject about extraterrestrial presence some due context. 

People have many worries in their lives, such as how they will survive economy crashes, energy shortages, how to pay off credit card loans with 30% interest charges, wondering what will happen if their jobs get taken over for instance by AI white-collar robots as this could be many. And what about those energy sapping AI data centers…?

-Maybe the last thing they really want to talk about right now is the subject of extraterrestrials… 

Then there’s the consideration that authorities giving you the disclosure are highly untrustworthy. 

These are the individuals that have told you that vaccines are “safe and effective,”the economy is “under control,” that “voting is going to make difference for we the people,” have overseen the building of bunkers strictly for themselves. Who have fomented illegal, immoral, unconstitutional genocidal wars, like the Iran war costing taxpayers a billion dollars a day…-Indeed,the list goes on.  

These very individuals who, without presidential or congressional oversight, have lied to us through their teeth for over 70 years, while preventing official enquiries to keep us in the dark regarding extraterrestrial presence. 

The very individuals who have suppressed technologies that would have changed the world had they been made available to us. 

For example, there have been claims that free energy technology has been hidden away from us. If this was just speculative nonsense, why do you think that so many scientists have been killed for revealing their knowledge of it? 

-How can they ever be trusted??

However, the release of the Steven Spielberg movie “Disclosure Day” may serve as an indicator of the US government’s real intentions to let us know about the extraterrestrial presence here on Earth. 

President Trump has publicly declared that “UFO files will be released.”

How Washington is Silently Tokenizing Your Bank Account

Have You Heard of the CLARITY Act?

If you missed it, you’re one among many. Reporting on the subject has been slim. No one wants to talk about it. Certainly, we don’t. But we will. Because it’s important.

We’re referring to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, or the CLARITY Act for short, which recently advanced out of the Senate Banking Committee via a 15 to 9 vote. The bill has already passed the House of Representatives and is getting queued up for a Senate vote.

Currently, Senate committee staff are merging the CLARITY Act framework with the companion Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act. The combined bill requires a full Senate floor vote and must survive conference reconciliation before heading to the President’s desk.

Congress has about two months of session time left before the August recess to get the bill to President Trump’s desk for signature. After August, very little gets done through the midterm elections in November. With a little luck, the Act will stall out.

One of the points of contention leading up to the Senate Banking Committee vote had to do with the stablecoin yield provisions. What you need to know, as you’re herded into stablecoins, is that you, as a stablecoin holder will receive no interest from the underlying Treasuries the stablecoins are backed by.

The interest, as stated in the GENIUS Act, goes to stablecoin issuers. You, as a holder of stablecoins, get absolutely diddly-squat. This is the new money regime that’s being put in place. If successful, you’ll have to live with it. Your kids will too.

We are currently 55 years into America’s grand experiment with pure fiat money. If you recall, this cycle that kicked off in 1971 when President Nixon slammed the Bretton Woods gold window shut.

Today, U.S. government finances are buckling under the weight of unprecedented debt. But instead of letting the system face its inevitable economic reckoning, central planners are working overtime to pull off another historic monetary switcheroo.

Genesis

Nixon’s action in 1971 wasn’t the first time the terms and conditions of the dollar were changed. Other instances include the issuance of Greenbacks during the Civil War or FDR’s gold confiscation in 1933.

Once again, the state is radically re-engineering the form and feel of the U.S. dollar. The goal is to mask an outright sovereign debt crisis by forcing the global economy onto a digitally native, stablecoin-anchored dollar.

This isn’t some far-fetched proposal for the distant future. In fact, the legal trap doors are already shutting. It began with the GENIUS Act in 2025, and now, the forthcoming CLARITY Act is arriving to finish the job.

Will it work? Your guess is as good as ours. But if you’re trying to build and preserve wealth, you cannot afford to ignore this.

The architecture of this new financial order was codified when the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act was signed into law on July 18, 2025.

For the uninitiated, stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to a steady asset, usually the U.S. dollar. Their primary purpose had been for parking funds or moving liquidity across digital assets. For example, if you were speculating on the price of bitcoin and thought it was due for a price correction, you would sell bitcoin and hold stablecoins with the hope of buying back bitcoin at a lower price in the future.

The GENIUS Act changed the game by legally mandating that any Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuer (PPSI) must back their tokens 100 percent, one-for-one, with high-quality, liquid assets – specifically cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries.

This framework ties the burgeoning global digital asset economy directly to Uncle Sam’s liabilities. Every single time an issuer mints a digital dollar, they are legally compelled to buy a piece of U.S. debt. As global trade, tokenized assets, and instant 24/7 settlements scale up, the structural demand for these regulated stablecoins will become massive.

If successful in its intent, this would translate to a virtually bottomless, non-taxpayer-funded credit pool for the U.S. Treasury. It would also artificially preserve the dollar’s status as the world reserve currency while keeping the government’s deficit machine running at full tilt. In other words, the mega U.S. government debt bubble could blow out orders of magnitude greater from its already lofty level.

Make no mistake, this is the birth of the new digital dollar. It is not a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) issued directly by the Federal Reserve. Instead, the government outsourced the infrastructure to private-sector issuers. Over time, legacy paper cash will be systematically relegated to a niche, ceremonial relic.

This Company Will Add Phone, AirPod, and Smartwatch Trackers to License Plate Readers

 A surveillance company plans to add sensors to automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) that would mean the devices, as well as capture the license plate of passing vehicles, would also sweep up unique identifiers of mobile phones, wearables, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices in those cars, potentially letting law enforcement identify specific drivers or passengers.

The technology, called SignalTrace, would turn ALPR cameras from devices focused on tracking cars to ones that can more readily track the location of particular people. ALPR cameras have become a commonly deployed technology all across the U.S.; SignalTrace would make some of those cameras capable of collecting much more data.

SignalTrace “bridges license plate recognition data with sensor-captured device identifiers—such as those from mobile phones, Bluetooth wearables, and vehicle systems—to create a unique, trackable ‘electronic fingerprint’ for investigative use,” according to a product sheet describing the tool, written by surveillance company Leonardo, which advertises SignalTrace.

The sort of data Leonardo says SignalTrace can sweep up includes the RFID tags in key cards and pet microchips; devices with Bluetooth such as wireless headphones, fitness trackers, and mobile phones; components of a car like tire pressure sensors and infotainment systems; and Wi-Fi sources such as vehicle hotspots and laptops, according to the product sheet.

The idea is to correlate these unique device identifiers to a license plate. If a Leonardo camera detects a license plate and sees where a vehicle was at a specific time, it can then allegedly link those unique device identifiers to it.

The sheet suggests SignalTrace collects this data for it to be searched by law enforcement much later. One line says SignalTrace “stores device and correlation data securely in the EOC [Enterprise Operations Center] for future queries and analysis.”

“When multiple devices consistently move together with a vehicle, SignalTrace’s algorithms link them to that vehicle’s license plate and time-stamped location data. This correlation provides investigators with another layer of actionable intelligence, even if a suspect changes or removes a plate,” the sheet reads.
