Dartmouth Provost Who Warned About AI Cheating Resigns After Investigation of His Own AI Usage

Santiago Schnell, who stepped down this week as provost of Dartmouth College, had built part of his public profile warning that universities weren’t doing enough to fight AI cheating. An internal investigation found he’d failed to disclose his own extensive use of artificial intelligence, including in that very warning.

Ars Technica reports that Schnell wrote a Washington Post op-ed on August 9 titled “Universities are fighting AI cheating. But there’s a deeper problem.” An advisory committee at Dartmouth later found that he had not disclosed significant AI use in that op-ed, nor in at least one academic paper, even though both publishers required such disclosure.

The committee’s report said Schnell showed “insufficient cooperation” during the investigation. He handed over his Dartmouth laptop but did not turn over logs from his personal AI accounts tied to the writings under review, and he declined to meet with the committee. Investigators did get access to his Claude enterprise account, used through Dartmouth, and those logs showed him using the chatbot to revise papers, find and fix bugs in code, and edit or generate figures.

In one exchange cited in the report, Schnell asked Claude to review a paper headed for the journal ChemSystemsChem as though it were a specialist referee. “I am getting read[y] to submit the enclosed paper, its supplementary materials and the enclosed repo to ChemSystemsChem. This paper is not biological, but rather chemical. Imagine that you are a reviewer for this paper with expertise in nonlinear chemical dynamics and mathematical chemical kinetics. What would be your referee report for this paper?” he wrote. He also asked language models to take TeX files, correct files and a code repository, and generate new figures.

The report also describes Schnell uploading a manuscript titled “Academic Freedom and Catholic Mission: The Procedural Overlap Zone in University Governance” to Claude and asking whether it contained “many signatures of AI writing.” He then submitted a revised version incorporating the chatbot’s suggested changes.

Schnell told Semafor he had used AI chatbots “to refine a few arguments” and “check for grammatical errors.” He told one journal editor he had “used AI as an editorial tool” to “help refine sentences, improve clarity, and the expression of arguments.” Asked why he had not disclosed AI use to an academic journal, he said he “did not understand that this type of AI-assisted editing required disclosure.”

The committee wasn’t satisfied it had the full picture. Its report said “the nature of the Provost’s actual AI use” remained unclear, and that his public statements may have understated how much he actually relied on AI tools, noting his use “went beyond his other public” characterizations of it.

Alaska’s Decoy Scandal Brings Back The Usual Suspects For Shady Election Tactics

Marc Elias is back. The notorious Democratic lawyer who played a critical role in the 2016 Russia hoax is again in the news. His law firm has been identified by the New York Times as part of the expanding scandal involving Democratic effort to confuse voters in Alaska with a decoy candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan.

For those familiar with Elias’s checkered history, this is a case of rounding up the usual suspects.

The scandal involving Democratic candidate Mary Peltola has quickly snowballed this week. A New York Times blockbuster investigative report quotes former staff who claim she knew of a cynical effort by her own campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to confuse voters by recruiting and fielding a decoy “Dan Sullivan” candidate in the race against incumbent Sen. Daniel S. Sullivan (R-Alaska). State and federal investigations are now unfolding, with dozens of federal subpoenas raining down on Alaska.

The effort to get voters to cast mistaken ballots is grossly unethical and, even in these rage-filled times, a uniquely disgraceful scheme. Peltola and the Democratic Party had long denied any involvement in the other Sullivan’s candidacy. So when the Times produced evidence that she allegedly knew, and that Democratic staffers and lawyers had been deeply involved from the beginning, many of us were surprised – that is, until the name “Marc Elias” emerged. Then it made more sense.

The Elias Law Group was already in the news this election cycle for threatening reporters with defamation lawsuits if they kept asking questions about the health of former Gov. Roy Cooper, the Democratic nominee for Senate in North Carolina. Earlier, Elias caused a stir during an unsuccessful Democratic gerrymandering effort, raising the idea that Democratic leaders could abolish the entire Virginia government after courts blocked their attempted radical redistricting plan.

The fact that figures such as Peltola and Cooper wanted to be associated with any law firm headed by Elias is itself an indictment of their judgment and standards.

Despite his losses in cases such as National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission, Elias is still a favorite of many on the left thanks to his aggression and partisan fervor. The controversies that make him notorious to many make him popular with others.

Elias was the general counsel to the Clinton presidential campaign when it secretly funded the infamous Steele Dossier and pushed the false Alfa Bank conspiracy theory. (His fellow Perkins Coie partner, Michael Sussmann, was later indicted but acquitted for making a false statement to the FBI.)

Clinton campaign officials lied to reporters during the 2016 campaign, denying any involvement in the Steele Dossier. Journalists discovered the truth after the election – that the Clinton campaign had hidden payments for the dossier as “legal fees” among the $5.6 million paid to Perkins Coie. New York Times reporter Ken Vogel said that when he tried to report the story, Elias “pushed back vigorously, saying ‘You (or your sources) are wrong.'”

Times reporter Maggie Haberman later observed that “Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year.” The Federal Election Commission ultimately sanctioned the Clinton campaign for the subterfuge.

While raising money as the self-proclaimed defenders of democracy, Elias’s group has been involved in gerrymandering and efforts criticized as seeking to invalidate Republican votes, including unsuccessful efforts to challenge Democratic electoral losses.

In Maryland, Elias’s team supported another abusive gerrymandering scheme that a court found not only violated Maryland law but the state constitution’s equal protection, free speech and free elections clauses. The court found that the proposed map “subverts the will of those governed.”

One media site accused Elias and his group of “making millions off gerrymandering efforts” while publicly denouncing Republican gerrymandering.

In 2024, Elias’s legal team was also accused of pushing “to bar third-party presidential candidates – including Cornel West – from swing state ballots where they might siphon votes” from Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

Likewise, the New York Times reported that the Elias firm’s work “on behalf of a Soros-funded PAC in Texas … was opposed by a left-leaning election watchdog as undermining laws intended to limit the influence of major donors.”

His group’s work for New York’s redistricting effort was ridiculed as not only ignoring the express will of the voters and also effectively negating Republicans’ votes.

In 2024, the Chief Judge of the Western District of Wisconsin criticized the Elias Law Group for one of its challenges. Judge James Peterson (an Obama appointee) said that the argument “simply does not make any sense.”

Now, Elias’s group is linked to the decoy scandal in Alaska, which allegedly aimed to make voters cast mistaken ballots. What distinguishes lawyers involved in this type of voter disruption is less their talent as their willingness. There are simply some things that most lawyers will not do.

Hackers Attack Supermarkets Across Europe Again, Destroying Millions of Dollars of Food

Food suppliers and retailers have been warned to urgently update the software on their fridges as European supermarkets have been hit by another wave of hacks, destroying millions of Euros of food.

Over 100 supermarkets and food suppliers in Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Ireland, Finland, Luxembourg, and Estonia were the target of a hacking attack late on Sunday night. The attackers remotely instructed internet-connect smart refrigerators in stores and warehouses to engage their defrost mode, boosting temperatures from the normal working sub-freezing to as high as 50 degrees centigrade (122 F).

While a handful of these attacks were detected quickly, most were not and huge quantities of food were defrosted, rendering them unfit for human consumption. The affected supermarkets and chains include French and German retail giants Carrefour and EDEKA, as well as Spar, Intermarché, ICA Group, Colruyt, Axfood, Delhaize, the Belgian Cooperative, and IKEA.

Some stores quickly deployed refrigerated trucks, allowing staff to transfer frozen goods before they were destroyed. Elsewhere, supermarkets hired dumpsters and brought staff in overnight to clear the shelves of spoiled food. Millions of Euros of food has been destroyed.

The European Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Christophe Hansen said the hacks were a deliberate bid to sabotage food supply in Europe and undermine public confidence. Who is behind the attacks is not yet known, but the European Union has said it will investigate.

This latest attack on the food industry follows by weeks another, larger attack where hackers did the same, taking advantage of vulnerabilities in outdated software loaded onto smart fridges intended to allow large grocery businesses to remotely monitor and troubleshoot their equipment across the whole business. In that case, over 700 supermarkets were hit.

The realisation that the digital systems that help keep Western civilisation fed and alive is actually mostly unprotected and connected to the open internet, and consequently massively vulnerable to attack by even technically unsophisticated malign actors has triggered a wave of investigations. As reported by Breitbart News, the Pentagon is now considering whether a series of refrigeration failures impacting the daily chow for troops may have not been simple malfunctions but deliberate sabotage.

Ukrainian Intelligence Just Tried Its Own Version Of The Israeli Pager Attack

It appears Ukrainian intelligence has attempted to do its own version of the Israeli pager bomb attacks that decimated many Hezbollah commanders in September 2024.

Russian authorities announced Monday the uncovering of a bizarre and twisted plot involving boobytrapped goggles for military drone operators.

The FSB security service said Monday it thwarted a shipment of drone goggles rigged with explosives that were meant to be distributed across drone units.

“During an X-ray examination, explosives specialists established that Ukrainian special services had embedded improvised explosive devices into the first-person view goggles where cooling fans are normally placed,” the FSB said.

Per the official statement and claims, the explosives would have detonated the moment the goggles were turned on, resulting in immediate death or injury.

It was undisclosed just how many headsets were intercepted, but likely border authorities are on high alert protecting against any further shipments or severe security breaches.

The rigged shipment in question was first discovered in the southern Volgograd region – but then other shipments were intercepted elsewhere. The shipments were presented as part of ‘volunteer’ donations.

This isn’t the first time that electronic items had bombs planted in them allegedly by Ukrainian intelligence operatives. Russian authorities are on the lookout for pontentially tampered items including speaker systems, power banks, laptops, or even car parts.

The incident is being compared to the prior similar Israeli operation which was years in planning that rocked Lebanon at the height of the recent Israel-Hezbolllah war there. As we featured at the time:

Former Mossad agents revealed new details of Israel’s pager and walkie-talkie terror attacks carried out against members of Hezbollah in interviews with the CBS News program 60 Minutes this week..

According to a former Israeli intelligence agent known as Michael, Hezbollah bought more than 16,000 of the exploding devices. When Mossad chief David Barnea gave the green light for the attack in September, the pagers and walkie-talkies were detonated on subsequent days.

Some 42 people were killed, including two children, while about 4,000 were injured. Many lost their hands and eyes or had their stomachs ripped open by the explosions. Michael said the walkie-talkie batteries, which included explosive devices, were made in Israel at a Mossad facility.

Drone warfare has become front and center in the longrunning Ukraine war, and has fundamentally transformed the battlefield. And so drone parts and operating equipment continue to be in high demand among both warring sides.

In some cases loitering drones have even been known to attack and bomb single individuals in gruesome scenes. Both sides have been deploying these tactics.

The Epstein 20 – There Are Now 20 People Connected To Epstein Who Have Wound Up Dead

A mere 20 people with connections to Epstein have been killed in recent years—the latest was last week.

Sorry, not killed. I meant to say “they chose to take their own lives rather than keep telling the world about the powerful men involved in a horrible sex trafficking enterprise.” Oh, and some of them died from “natural causes” like the highly contagious Rope Around Neck Syndrome or the tragically rare Fall From Tree Disease.

Here’s the list that should be on the front page of every newspaper but isn’t.

  1. Jeffrey Epstein – hanged in jail cell with a mysterious vanishing noose – 2019
  2. Jean-Luc Brunel – French fashion designer and Epstein co-conspirator – also hanged in his jail cell – 2022
  3. Carolyn Andriano – Epstein survivor who gave testimony that helped convict Ghislaine Maxwell – drug overdose – 2023
  4. Virginia Giuffre – The most prominent Epstein victim and accuser – stated publicly she would never take her own life then took her own life – this came months after surviving a bus hitting her – 2025
  5. Daniel Siad – “Modeling scout” who worked extensively with Epstein – was under investigation in France when he had a “heart attack” – 2026
  6. Efrain “Stone” Reyes – Epstein’s final prison cellmate who provided information to authorities – died of “Covid complications” – 2020
  7. Mark Middleton – White House aide to Epstein buddy Bill Clinton – he facilitated several events with Epstein – died from both hanging and shooting himself, which means he either shot himself and then got to work on the hanging or hanged himself and then, while hanging there, shot himself – 2022
  8. Steven Hoffenberg – Business associate who alleged Epstein’s involvement in his Ponzi scheme – 2022
  9. Ken Starr – Epstein’s lawyer during his 2008 plea deal – 2022
  10. Roy Black – Epstein’s other lawyer during his 2008 plea deal – 2025
  11. Umar Dzhabrailov – Russian senator with connections to Epstein – died of Gunshot To Chest Disease – 2026
  12. Simon Andriesz – Banker and whistleblower who revealed business ties between Epstein and Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick – died by tripping and falling into a noose – 2026
  13. Thomas Bowers – Former Deutsche Bank wealth management executive with ties to Epstein – died by hanging – 2019
  14. Steve Bing – Film producer and political donor who reportedly contacted the FBI about Epstein – died by accidentally jumping out of a Los Angeles high-rise – 2020
  15. Valentin Broeksmit – Deutsche Bank whistleblower, possibly had direct information about Epstein’s business transactions – died by fall from a tree… after getting locked in a breezeway… at a middle school he had no connection to… on a Sunday night… when the school wasn’t open… – 2022
  16. Alberto Pinto – Epstein’s interior designer – 2012
  17. Al Seckel – Organized events for Epstein – died after enjoying a long, scenic walk off a 100-foot cliff – 2015
  18. Joseph Recarey – police officer who first built the case against Epstein – died from sleeping at age 50 (reported as complications from sleep apnea) – 2018
  19. Leigh “Skye” Patrick – Epstein survivor – died of an “accidental” overdose – 2018
  20. Annabelle Neilson – Socialite closely tied to Epstein – died of a stroke – 2018

So there you have it—the 20 people with close ties and information on Jeffrey Epstein and his associates who have died in recent years. I left out the few people who were ancient (one was 95 years old) and the people who died before Epstein’s first 2008 arrest. But this list, of course, can’t include other possible victims who died even before they were able to come forward to reveal anything.

Tusk Cries ‘Russian Interference’ As Opposition Pushes No-Confidence Vote For Court Takeover

Recent days have seen Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk thrust into the international spotlight after what’s been widely dubbed a forced takeover of what’s supposed to be an independent top court, the Constitutional Tribunal.

Another key official, Poland’s Supreme Court First President Zbigniew Kapiński, has joined the growing chorus of those condemning Tusk’s actions as tantamount to orchestrating a coup d’état.

“These actions bear the hallmarks of a coup d’état,“ Kapiński declared Monday, in reference to the chaotic events kicked into motion Friday night.

According to more of Kapiński’s remarks as quoted in The Hungarian Conservative:

Kapiński insisted that Bogdan Święczkowski remained the legitimate president of the Tribunal and warned that the government could attempt a similar takeover of the Supreme Court itself. Appointed to his current position by President Karol Nawrocki in May, he argued that nothing comparable had happened since the introduction of martial law in communist Poland.

The Supreme Court chief has also convened an extraordinary General Assembly of judges for Tuesday, 3 November, to discuss threats to Poland’s constitutional order and adopt an official position on the crisis.

When The Economist notes that democracy is being blown up…

Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal is supposed to embody democratic stability, but has spent the past decade as a battleground for fights between populists and liberals. The latest conflict looks like a full-blown constitutional crisis.

Canadian Propaganda System Goes Full-on To Justify War Against Iran

Canada is laying the groundwork for a new round of US/Israeli violence against Iran. This week Ottawa claimed Iran is occupying UAE territory, suggested Iran was funding attacks in Canada and signed a security accord that could draw us into the aggression.

On Wednesday Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada believes Iran is “occupying” the islands of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb. In a joint statement with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Canada’s Prime Minister backed UAE’s position claiming the three small, strategically important islands in the eastern Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz were under Iranian “occupation”.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei denounced Ottawa’s “brazen and interventionist” position. For their part the Iranian Canadian Congress said it “strongly objects to the characterization of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb as UAE territories ‘under occupation’, a statement which undermines Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and risks further unlawful aggression against Iran.”

Even hardline critics of the Iranian government also wrote articles, launched a petition and rallied in Toronto on Sunday against Canada’s position. Some of the opponents of the Islamic Republic pointed out that Ottawa didn’t publish any legal explanation for its support of UAE’s territorial claims over islands Iran has formally controlled since just before UAE’s 1971 creation and prior to the Islamic Republic.

As Ottawa has put Iran’s territorial integrity into question, it has also portrayed a country bombed tens of thousands of times recently as an aggressor. A number of reports linked to Canada’s new National Security Strategy suggested Iran has been attacking Canada (in reality, Ottawa has severed relations, labeled Iran a state sponsor of terror, listed part of its army a terror group, seized its diplomatic assets and imposed dozens of rounds of sanctions in support of a long-standing Zionist/imperial campaign against Iran).

On Tuesday CBC published “Why a spate of gun-for-hire shootings in Toronto were likely paid for by Iran. Attacks on Jewish, U.S. and anti-regime targets fit worldwide pattern of violence.” Despite the bold headline, there’s no evidence presented in the article linking Iran to the shootings. In a complaint to the CBC, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East’s Media Accountability Project noted, “What is not established through the facts in the article is any concrete link to Iran.” (Does anyone believe Tehran benefits to the point of paying random individuals shooting up various institutions in Toronto?)

Politically the CBC story served its purposes. In response, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre reiterated his call to deport Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) operatives and the claims also boosted the anti-Iran angle in coverage of Canada’s new National Security Strategy.

Two days later the front of the Globe and Mail read: “Officials flag unprecedented security threats against Jewish community.” The third paragraph of an article tied to the release of the National Security Strategy mentioned “threats from Iran”. In another story this week, CSIS officials reportedly told Iran International they had “disrupted potentially lethal threats against people in Canada in multiple cases involving Iranian intelligence or proxies.”

Concurrently, Liberal MPs Anthony Housefather and Judy Sgro told the House of Commons Iran was a threat and criminal. Housefather announced a parliamentary petition calling the Iranian government a danger to Canadians while Sgro spoke “in solidarity with the courageous people and political prisoners of Iran” and “the ‘no to execution Tuesdays’ campaign.”

As politicians and media focused on Iran’s purported crimes, Canada hosted the leader of a deeply autocratic regional enemy that’s contributed significantly to violence in Sudan, Libya and Yemen. But there was little discussion of UAE monarch Mohamed bin Zayed’s repression and violence since the UAE is close to the US and Israel and has large wealth funds.

The Carney government signed a trade accord, launched formal negotiations on an extradition treaty and deepened its military ties to a small state with significant US and Israeli soldiers present there. According to the official release, the Canada-UAE Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Defence Cooperation “modernises the Canada-UAE Defence Cooperation Arrangement for enhanced bilateral cooperation on defence, including military education and training, defence policy dialogue, joint exercises, defence industrial cooperation, cyber security, and information exchanges, while creating a Joint Military Committee to guide its implementation.”

NASA’s 1.5 Ton Spacecraft Set For Imminent Uncontrolled Reentry

NASA’s space telescope that tracks gamma-ray bursts has experienced an “ongoing attitude control issue” according to the space agency. A separate report from solar tracker website SpaceWeather warns the spacecraft is expected “to fall out of the sky” in the very near term.

“NASA’s Swift observatory is about to fall out of the sky. The 1.5-ton spacecraft spent nearly 22 years observing gamma-ray bursts. Now it is expected to reenter Earth’s atmosphere within days, creating a fireball that could even be visible in daylight (magnitude -8 to -10),” SpaceWeather wrote on its website.

SpaceWeather continued:

NASA’s Space Weather Operational Readiness Development Center predicts reentry on Nov. 3rd at 16:18 UTC +/- 12 hours. The Aerospace Corporation says Nov. 4th at 09:30 UTC +/- 26 hours. Uncontrolled reentries are hard to pin down, and the orbit is decaying fast. Only in the final hours will we know for sure when and where it will re-enter.

Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and southern Mexico are in the potential re-entry zone. Swift’s orbit is tilted 21 degrees to the equator, so debris can only come down between latitudes 21N and 21S. That band is mostly ocean, so the odds still favor a harmless splashdown.

Most of Swift will burn up in the fireball. But according to chief scientist Brad Cenko, some tungsten pieces and the observatory’s mirrors could survive.

NASA tried to save Swift. In July, Katalyst Space launched a robotic spacecraft named LINK to rendezvous with Swift and boost it higher. The mission failed. Meanwhile, solar activity puffed up Earth’s upper atmosphere, dragging Swift down faster than expected.

Shawn Domagal-Goldman, director of the Astrophysics Division at NASA, told USA Today that the spacecraft played “a major role in advancing our understanding of the changing universe and was part of a revolution in astrophysics that showed how critical rapid-response observations are to the entire community,” adding, “Swift leaves us with an extraordinary archive of multiwavelength observations that will fuel new discoveries for decades more.”

California Jail Goes on Three-Hour Lockdown Rather Than Hand Criminal Illegal Aliens to ICE, Monterey County Supervisor Tells Agent They Will Not Release Anyone When ICE is Present

The Monterey County Jail in Salinas was visited by ICE agents on Tuesday for a targeted operation seeking three individuals with prior arrests for DUI, drug offenses, and providing false identification.

Instead of working with them to facilitate transfers, the jail was placed on lockdown for roughly three hours, suspending new bookings and inmate releases while a crowd of protesters and observers gathered outside.

ICE left without taking anyone into custody during the standoff, and the sheriff’s office has indicated that they would do it again.

The three criminal illegal aliens in question were Eduardo Castro-Lopez (also known as Jordan Eduardo Yac), Jose Luis Quinones (also known as Jose Manuel Garcia), and Angelina Ramirez-Sepulveda.

An ICE spokesperson told Border Hawk that “what should have been a simple, routine operation quickly went sideways.”

US Attacks Iran’s Qeshm Island On Election Eve

Trump Bombs Qeshm Island

Since Sunday into Monday, Iran headlines were driven by a return to ‘peace talks imminent’ claims, pushing down oil prices; however, late in the day we learn via official channels speaking to The Wall Street Journal that President Trump just bombed Qeshm Island earlier the same day.

This bold and risky act came right on the eve of the midterm elections, at a moment the war remains deeply unpopular with voters. But interestingly, Trump didn’t openly announce the attack, like with some prior escalations and bombings.

“The U.S. attacked Iran’s Qeshm Island on Monday, U.S. officials said, in the latest of a series of limited strikes Washington has secretly carried out against the country in recent weeks as President Trump touted the possibility of a diplomatic deal,” WSJ writes. The paper further underscores that he spent the whole day signaling there won’t be a renewed bombing campaign against Iran any time soon:

The assault follows comments by Trump playing down the possibility of a return to war with Iran after Tuesday’s midterm elections.

“We had a war with Iran. We won,” Trump told reporters Monday. “I don’t know if you even call it a war because we haven’t been doing any fighting for months.”

But the U.S. has been engaged in smaller-scale strikes against Iran for several weeks, officials said, with explosions reported around Qeshm island on Monday on social media. Some of the officials described the assaults as defensive in nature to prevent Iran from having the freedom to attack commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. .

So there’s clearly a political reason for the administration not officially reporting such strikes. It would certainly negate any attempt to portray de-escalation in the conflict.

“The U.S. has been purposefully keeping the campaign quiet so as not to signal any intention of resuming major combat operations,” one official speaking to the Journal says.

Trump Says ‘No Rush’ on Renewing Iran War

On midterm election eve, President Trump is seeking to appear confident and is trying to reassure voters. He told Axios in a phone interview published Monday afternoon that he’s “in no rush” to decide whether to resume attacks on Iran.

There’s lately been an avalanche of speculation saying that he’s likely to order a new bombing campaign soon after the midterm vote on Tuesday. There are also reports saying that Israel’s Netanyhu is strongly lobbying for renewing the war. Of course, Trump knows the war is deeply unpopular with the average voter (on both sides of the aisle) right now, and so the obvious attempts at ‘calming’ the populace…
