Russia Arrests Minor After U.S. Warned of Planned Terror Attack on Moscow

Russian police have arrested a minor in connection with an alleged plot to attack Moscow, Russian news agencies reported Sunday, after Russia received a tip-off from the United States.

The US embassy in Moscow published a statement on Saturday saying it was “aware of a credible threat of a mass casualty event… at the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve in Moscow”.

The US embassy did not give details on who was plotting the attack.

In a statement quoted by Russian news agencies on Sunday, Russia’s FSB security service said it had arrested a minor who had posted photos of himself on TikTok wearing a balaclava, cap and goggles and holding what resembled an automatic weapon.

The unidentified male, who the FSB said was a Russian citizen, had shared photos taken at the Tsaritsyno museum reserve along with the caption: “I found a place” and was allegedly subscribed to a “neo-Nazi” Telegram channel, it said.

The FSB did not name the male in question.

“We are grateful to the American side for the information provided,” the FSB was quoted as saying.

The Tsaritsyno museum is an imperial palace and park complex in southern Moscow popular with residents and tourists.

Russian Telegram channel Baza, which has reported links to law enforcement, said the park was closed on Saturday and open only for people leaving the grounds.

The US has provided Russia with warnings of planned attacks before, including in March 2024, weeks before an ISIS-K attack on a Moscow concert hall that killed over 100 people.

Relations between Russia and the United States have thawed in recent months, amid ongoing strain between Washington and Kyiv over a US-Russia diesel deal.

Woman Dies After Following Medical Advice Provided By ChatGPT

The family of a 31-year-old Seattle woman who died from a catastrophic seizure is suing OpenAI after the woman followed medical advice from ChatGPT urging her to stop taking her epilepsy medication.

The Daily Wire reports that Bowen Wan had been consulting ChatGPT in the weeks leading up to her death about ways to wean herself off her medication without her doctors’ knowledge.

Wan had lived with epilepsy for more than a decade and successfully managed it with prescription medication.

However, after becoming concerned about side effects, she turned to ChatGPT-4o for advice on weaning herself off the drugs, according to CNET.

The New York Times reports that Wan’s chat logs show that ChatGPT provided a week-by-week schedule to reduce her 400-milligram daily dose down to zero.

The lawsuit alleges that when Wan expressed distrust of her doctors, the chatbot validated her, and further praised her for hiding a tapering plan from her primary care provider, labeling it a “solid avoidance strategy”.

According to The Daily Wire, days before her death, she appeared to have a seizure while on the phone with her father and she later asked the bot, “Maybe it’s not a major issue?”

The bot’s response was, “There’s no need to worry too much about your health.”

Wan died alone in her Seattle apartment in February 2026 and the official cause of death was Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).

The lawsuit naming OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman alleges that the company bypassed built-in safety guardrails and failed to prevent the AI from dispensing unlicensed, hazardous medical instructions, according to KIRO.

OpenAI spokesman Drew Pusateri called the situation “heartbreaking” and noted, “While ChatGPT is not a substitute for medical care, we believe AI can play a role in helping people make sense of health information, navigate insurance and complex health care systems, and prepare for appointments with medical professionals.”

OpenAI and other tech firms are facing concurrent lawsuits involving users who suffered severe psychological dependency or died by suicide after extended, unrestricted interactions with AI chatbots.

Useless Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Bans New Oil and Gas Drilling Throughout the City Because of Racism

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has just announced that she has banned all new oil and gas drilling throughout the city and then went on to explain that this was a problem that was being driven by racism.

This is especially ironic, given the fact that so many Democrats have been campaigning on gas prices in this midterm election cycle. Do they think this drilling ban will help lower prices?

Bass is not a serious mayor. She’s an absolute joke, and this is another reminder.

From the Center Sqaure, via Yahoo News:

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has signed an ordinance prohibiting new oil and gas drilling throughout the city and establishing a 20-year timetable to phase out existing wells.

Under the new ordinance, current drilling sites are designated as “nonconforming uses” and must cease operations within two decades, unless an earlier deadline applies. The ordinance restricts the expansion and redevelopment of existing operations while establishing limited exceptions for work strictly necessary to address public health, safety or environmental threats.

Bass, who is running for reelection on Tuesday against Los Angeles City Council member and fellow Democrat Nithya Raman, framed the legislation as a long-overdue victory for environmental justice in frontline neighborhoods that have historically borne the brunt of urban drilling…

“For too long, communities throughout Los Angeles have lived with the impacts of oil and gas drilling in their neighborhoods, leading to significant health conditions,” Bass said in a press release on Thursday, the day she signed the ban. “Signing this ordinance is another important step toward phasing out oil and gas drilling in Los Angeles once and for all.”

FBI Says North Korea Behind $6 Billion Binance Heist

It’s official – for what it’s worth: North Korea “was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion USD in virtual assets” from Binance on Thursday, according to a Saturday FBI cyber alert. The agency says says Kim Jong Un’s ‘TraderTraitor’ hacking operation was responsible.

As we reported Thursday, TRM Labs and Chainalysis blamed N. Korea within a day, while Tether and Circle froze billions in stolen stablecoins. TRM puts the haul at $6.36 billion and calls it the largest hack in history; Chainalysis said its investigators concluded that the Binance loot was “commingling” with funds North Korea from last month’s Bitget exploit.

Working in conjunction with US Secret Service and IRS Criminal Investigation, the FBI says it has “observed TraderTraitor actors converting stolen assets primarily into Ethereum (ETH),” and that “it is expected these assets will then be further laundered by converting them using DeFi and instant swap services.” It published 628 addresses it says “are holding or have held assets from the theft” – 608 on Ethereum, 19 on Bitcoin and one on Solana.

The agencies are urging “THORNode operators, RPC node operators, instant exchanges, DeFi services, blockchain analytics firms, and other virtual asset service providers to block transactions with or derived from” those addresses. The list may already be falling behind: Chainalysis CEO Jonathan Levin told CoinDesk the attackers have used “thousands of addresses,” adding, “We anticipate this will become tens of thousands over the coming weeks.”

Binance, meanwhile, insists its customers won’t eat the loss. As we reported last night, the exchange said it had replaced 90% of the roughly $6.3 billion with its own funds, and on Sunday it began reopening withdrawals in phases, starting with the Bitcoin network. Co-CEO Richard Teng put the replenished share at about 95% on Sunday, according to crypto.news.

Maryland Wokies Released MS-13 Member Charged With Attempted Murder, Defying ICE

Maryland sanctuary politicians released a gang member who was accused of attempted murder and sexual assault of a child.          

According to a Department of Homeland Security press release, the Maryland wokies were trying to protect the MS-13 member accused of raping a child from being taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In Democrat-controlled cities, counties, and states, officials and judges will often release the most dangerous and vile illegal alien criminals after ICE files detainer requests for them. Their ideology is so perverse that they find it more important to undermine ICE than to ensure that illegal alien criminals face justice and are incapable of harming more Americans.

DHS explained in an October 30 press release:

On December 16, 2025, ICE lodged a detainer against Allan Adonay Contreras-Vasquez, an illegal alien from Honduras and MS-13 member, while he was in the custody of the Prince George’s County Detention Center in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. He had been arrested following an assault in Hyattsville, Maryland, allegedly carried out by Contreras-Vasquez and five other suspects, in which the victim was stalked after getting off a bus before being stabbed multiple times.

Prince George’s County officials refused to respect the detainer request and hand Contreras-Vasquez over to ICE. Instead, they released Contreras-Vasquez. Last February, however, he faced charges of attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit second-degree murder, first-degree assault, conspiracy to commit first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and dangerous weapon with intent to injure.

Third Russian Refinery Attacked By Ukraine In 3 Days

The overnight hours into early Sunday morning hours saw yet a third Russian refinery attacked by long-range Ukrainian drones since Ukraine abandoned a short-lived halt on energy site attacks.

Russia’s Kstovo oil refinery is ablaze, becoming the third refinery hit in just three days. What’s known as the “Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez” oil refinery and the adjacent Novogorkovskaya combined heat and power plant in the city of Kstovo were impacted.

The complex is Russia’s fourth-largest refinery and its second-largest gasoline producer. Mulitple large fires reupted as a result of the strikes, across the industrial site.

“Residents in Kstovo began circulating footage of major blazes lighting up the skyline around 4:00 a.m. local time, reporting repeated loud detonations and low-flying drone engine sounds over the municipal industrial zone,” regional media reports.

Many inbound UAVs were observed penetrating the region’s air defenses, and images of dramatic scenes of large fires at the site quickly thereafter began ciculating.

Ukrainian media is acknwoledging and detailing the assault. Kyiv Post writes, “The installation manufactures high-octane automotive gasoline, diesel fuel, jet propulsion kerosene, bitumen, and specialized petroleum fractions utilized directly by Russian military logistics and heavy mechanized equipment.”

Defense Lawyers For The SPLC Appear To Bizarrely Undermine The SPLC In Court

The SPLC’s lawyers, defending an organization that famously used paid informants for years to infiltrate targeted groups, are outraged that the government is using the SPLC’s informant as an informant, because informants are self-interested and deceitful, so using an informant is dirty. It’s like watching a snake eat its own tail. In a statement to the Times (that they repeated to CBS News), lawyers Abbe Lowell and Addy Schmitt said that the informant had “every incentive to tell the government what it wants to hear,” because he benefitted from his relationship with federal law enforcement. The use of informants is sleazy, say the lawyers defending the SPLC over its longtime use of informants.

Take a moment to really savor this: In a case that centers on the SPLC’s longtime use of paid informants, including the well-paid informant discussed in this defense brief, the SPLC’s lawyers just said that informants can’t be trusted. They specifically, explicitly, and repeatedly attack the credibility of a longtime SPLC informant, whose intelligence-gathering work inside a neo-Nazi organization sat at the center of the SPLC’s claims about American hate groups. If the government’s informant isn’t trustworthy, the SPLC itself can’t be trusted, because the government’s deceitful informant was the SPLC’s own major informant. You can’t attack one without hitting the other.

So lawyers hired to defend the SPLC are arguing in a public forum that SPLC informants are shifty and devious liars, and you shouldn’t believe a word they say. What an interesting moment.

The Federalist sent a series of questions to the SPLC’s defense team by email, and this is how that email message ended: “If his requests for payment discredit him, doesn’t that discredit the SPLC’s entire informant program? Did you mean to discredit your client?”

They haven’t responded, which has been the pattern as we’ve sent them questions throughout the life of the case.

But buckle in, because we’re just getting started. This is strange.

First Doomsday Warnings, Then Poland Crisis, Iran’s “No Limits” Threat, & Now “Mass Casualty” Risk In Moscow

Emergency preparedness warnings across the US, Europe, and Japan have been amplified in corporate media and turned into hysteria for the general public. One big question we have is whether these advisories are coming from an intelligence briefing or deep state globalists doing what they’re best at: manipulating the public through headlines.

It’s hard to say what’s fueling the panic, but mentions of “stockpile food” in corporate media headlines jumped on October 23 to their highest level since the Covid-19 panic era of 2021.

What’s indisputable is what has happened since those warnings were blasted around corporate media: a political crisis began unfolding in Poland on Friday evening, Iran warned that any renewed conflict with the US would have “no geographical limitation” in retaliation, and by late Saturday morning, the US Embassy in Moscow had warned of a “credible threat of a mass casualty event” in the Russian capital.

All of those developments come just a week after an attempted communist revolution in France that led to days of riots, looting, chaos, and embarrassment for the Macron government.

It remains to be seen whether the preparedness warnings across the West and among US allies are just fearmongering or whether the threats are credible and were part of some intelligence bulletin sent to allied countries. Notably, this is all happening just days before the US midterm elections next week.

Pelosi, Schumer, and Other Democrats Lash Out at Haley Stevens for Endorsing Mike Rogers – Michigan Democratic Chair Kicks Her Out of Party!

Rep. Haley Stevens is facing backlash from top Democrats after she crossed party lines and endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in the heated Michigan Senate race on Sunday.

The state’s Democratic Party chairman even declared that she is no longer a member of the party, “nor will she be in the future.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Stevens broke away from her party and joined Mike Rogers at a black church this morning before announcing her official endorsement of the Trump-backed Republican.

“I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign. I do not stand with Hasan Piker, who gets trafficked on our college campuses. A dear friend of mine earlier today was saying that education is on the ballot, and she’s absolutely right. And what our students see, what our children see, and who we are as Michiganders is not hate, and is not what we are getting out from our Democratic nominee right now,” she continued.

“So, I am just one person. I love this state, as some of you know. I’ve, you know, run a campaign saying that it was a love letter to Michigan, and I’m here to declare who we are as Michiganders. This is Phil Hart’s seat for the U.S. Senate. This is the conscience of the Senate right now and our Michigan moment. And I’m just letting you know where I am. I’m still a very proud Democrat. I still very much believe in everything I voted for and said, and I’ve worked really hard, and will continue to do so in all the ways life’s opportunities afford. Godspeed, and love you all so much.”

Michigan Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill FBI Director Kash Patel in Facebook Messages

Federal agents arrested a Michigan man on Friday after he allegedly threatened to kill FBI Director Kash Patel and an unnamed “associate” in a series of Facebook messages, emails, and voicemails.

The Justice Department announced the charges against Anthony Daniel Palazzolo, 42, of Chesterfield Township, on Friday.

Palazzolo’s arrest stems from a Facebook message sent to an individual identified in court records only as Victim-1 on October 8.

In that message, Palazzolo, who referred to himself as “Baby Bird,” wrote that he had “put a hit out” on the recipient and that Patel was “a dead mf too,” adding “Tell his punk ass I said it.”⁠

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan stated that after FBI agents interviewed Palazzolo at his home the following day, he continued to contact a Detroit FBI agent by phone.

Palazzolo allegedly left voicemails threatening to come to the office and “use deadly force against every single one of you government officials—FBI Secret Service will all be f[——] killed.”

Agents also alleged that he emailed the agent, a federal court in Texas, the Secret Service, and the Supreme Court with graphic threats of sexual violence involving objects and torture.
