“Unprovoked act of aggression,” Russia claims Israel attacked its cultural center in Lebanon

Russia’s international humanitarian cooperation agency said on Monday that Israel attacked the partner Russian House in the Lebanese city of Nabatieh, calling it an “unprovoked act of aggression,” Anadolu reports.

In a statement on Telegram, head of the agency, Rossotrudnichestvo, Evgeny Primakov said the cultural center was strictly civilian.

“Israeli aviation struck the partner Russian House in the Lebanese city of Nabatieh. The director of the cultural center, Assaad Deia, is alive and safe. These are our good friends, there was no military activity in the cultural center. The strike was not provoked by anything,” he said.

He added that the agency’s official representative office, the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Lebanon’s capital Beirut, is in contact with colleagues from the Nabatieh office.

“We regard its destruction as an act of unprovoked aggression,” Rossotrudnichestvo said in an official statement published on Russian social media platform Max.

It also noted that the Soviet Cultural Center in Syria’s capital Damascus was destroyed by a direct hit from Israeli bombs on Oct. 10, 1973, during the Fourth Arab-Israeli War, killing two people.

Tension escalated across the region on Feb. 28, when the US and Israel launched large-scale attacks on Iran that have so far killed around 1,300 people, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has responded with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Gulf countries that are home to US assets.

Critics Say New Definition of Anti-Muslim Hostility Is ‘Assault’ on Free Speech

Critics have said that a new UK government definition of anti-Muslim hostility is an “assault” on free speech.

On March 10, the Labour government adopted a new non-statutory definition of anti-Muslim hostility as part of its “Social Cohesion” strategy, aimed at tackling hate crime and strengthening community relations.

The guidance, titled “Protecting What Matters,” sets out a definition intended to help institutions identify and respond what they call to anti-Muslim hatred and discrimination.

The Free Speech Union (FSU) said the initiative could represent an attempt to revive blasphemy-style laws in Britain. The FSU offers legal help to people disciplined or arrested for lawful expression.

“What we are seeing is an attempt to reintroduce Britain’s blasphemy laws, 18 years after they were abolished by Parliament, and the biggest assault on English liberty, particularly free speech, in over 800 years,” it said in a March 10 post on X.

According to the document, the definition, laid out over three paragraphs, says anti-Muslim hostility includes “intentionally engaging in, assisting or encouraging criminal acts—including acts of violence, vandalism, harassment, or intimidation, whether physical, verbal, written or electronically communicated, that are directed at Muslims because of their religion or at those who are perceived to be Muslim, including where that perception is based on assumptions about ethnicity, race or appearance.”

Iranian TV Says Khamenei’s Son Mojtaba, Elected New Supreme Leader, Has Been Wounded by US-Israel Strikes

Like father, like son?

The late ayatollah Khamenei was killed during the airstrikes by the US-Israeli coalition, and now it arises that his son, Mojtaba, has been chosen to be the new ‘Supreme Leader’.

However, that is not the only report going around, as it’s been widely published that Mojtaba has been gravely wounded, also by coalition airstrikes.

The news was first reported by Iranian TV, but has been subsequently picked up by the UK’s Mirror and LBC, Times of Israel, The Western Journal, among others.

See how War Secretary Pete Hergseth declines to deny that he is injured.

The Daily Wire’s Mary Margaret Olohan: “There’s been reports that the new leader of Iran has been wounded. Do you know if this is true and what his condition is? And then another one, President Trump said he had a really good call with President Putin yesterday. Will Russia be… pic.twitter.com/bRkzOY9OC3

“The President, as I’ve said before, maintains strong relationships with world leaders, which creates opportunities and options for us in very dynamic ways… The new leader of Iran. He would be wise to heed the words of our President, which is to not pursue nuclear weapons, and come out and state as such. As far as his status, that’s not something I can comment on right now.”

UK Lords Back Facial Recognition Overreach, Protest Crackdown Powers

The UK Lords spent March 9 dismantling what little legal cover existed for anonymous protest and privacy, and building new tools to suppress it entirely.

Start with what they refused to protect. Peers voted down an amendment that would have kept the DVLA database (the equivalent of the DMV in the US) out of live facial recognition searches.

That database isn’t a surveillance archive. It was built to verify driving licenses. It contains photographs linked to the confirmed real-world identities of most UK drivers, and the Lords just cleared the path for police to run it against faces captured in real time at public gatherings. A licensing bureaucracy would become an identification engine. The repurposing happened quietly, through a vote most people won’t read about.

The Lords also voted down a proposed “defence of reasonable excuse” for concealing identity at protests. The amendment would have shifted the burden of proof onto police officers to justify why a face covering made someone arrestable.

Could There Be a Military Draft? Trump Administration Says It’s ‘On Table’

As the United States continues to strike Iran roughly 10 days since ordered by President Donald Trump, questions about how long the war may last have been coupled with the prospect of a military draft that administration officials admit remains “on the table.”

Six U.S. soldiers have been killed in the war that Trump has continually defended on the backdrop of what he and other senior officials have attributed to “an imminent threat” posed by Iran towards the U.S., Israel and other Middle East nations. The potential length of this conflict has drawn many assumptions, as Trump has floated a “4-5 weeks” duration while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been more clandestine in presenting any particular timeframe due to not giving away U.S. military strategies.

That, in turn, has led to questions of whether U.S. troops could ultimately be on the ground in Iran due to airstrikes historically not providing enough military might over time for sustainability. 

On Sunday, Fox Business’ Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt about the prospect of Americans not enlisted in the U.S. military being forced to fight overseas.

“Mothers out there are worried that we’re going to have a draft, that they’re going to see their sons and daughters get involved in this,” Bartiromo said. “What do you want to say about the president’s plans for troops on the ground? As we know, it’s been largely an air campaign up until now.”

“It has been, and it will continue to be,” Leavitt said. “President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table. I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly, but the president as commander in chief wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation.”

CNN Edits Shameful Post Framing Suspected ISIS Inspired Terrorists as ‘Pennsylvania Teenagers Enjoying a Day in NYC’ After Backlash

CNN edited a shameful social media post that framed two suspected ISIS-inspired terrorists as throwing a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally, as a couple of Pennsylvania teenagers who were out to enjoy an unseasonably warm day.

The Gateway Pundit reported that on Saturday, two male Islamist terrorists threw a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence. The bomb was laced with metal and powerful explosives, according to the New York Times.

One of the men screamed “Allahu Akbar!” while getting arrested.

NYPD outlined what terror suspects said about their alleged ISIS inspiration after being arrested following the failed attack.

“Kayumi said in recorded, post-arrest statements that he had watched ISIS propaganda on his phone and his actions that day were partly inspired by ISIS.”

“Balat made spontaneous statements without being questioned by NYPD officers… He said, ‘This isn’t a religion that just stands when people talk about the blessed name of the prophet. We take action. We take action.’”

“As well as, ‘If I didn’t do it, someone else will come and do it.’”

“After waiving his rights, he requested paper and wrote a message declaring in part, ‘I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State, die in your rage, you Kufar’… ‘Kufar’ is an Arabic term that refers to non-believers.”

Trans-identifying 15-year-old plotted to kill classmate in order to resurrect Newtown shooter Adam Lanza, police say

Florida officials say that two high school girls laughed and joked with each other after they were arrested for allegedly plotting the murder of a fellow classmate.

Isabelle Valdez, 15, and Lois Lippert, 14, were unaware that they were being recorded as they discussed their plans in the back of a police vehicle in January, according to the Altamonte Springs Police Department.

Police were alerted to the alleged plot through an anonymous tip on Jan. 22 saying a student at Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs was being targeted in a murder scheme.

On Jan. 23, both girls went to school, and by 7:38 a.m. police had asked a security guard to get Valdez out of class.

Maricopa’s Dirty Secrets Unraveling: Finchem Says Nothing Changed from 2020 Cheat to 2024 

Arizona State Senator Mark Finchem said federal investigators are examining election issues in Maricopa County that may stretch from the 2020 election cycle through 2024, suggesting the inquiry could examine multiple election years and related processes.

Finchem discussed the ongoing investigation during a conversation with Amanda Head and journalist John Solomon, where the topic of a federal grand jury inquiry into Maricopa County election practices was raised.

Head asked Finchem what he expects the investigation to uncover as federal authorities continue reviewing election data and records.

“What do you anticipate is going to come out? What do you want to come out from this? What’s the most damning thing?” Head asked.

Finchem responded that the investigation remains ongoing and that the legal process requires patience as investigators gather information.

“Well, every good investigation takes time, and right now, what we’re seeing is a grand jury indictment that is sealed, but also a search warrant that is part of the grand jury action,” Finchem said.

He said the investigation appears to cover a time frame that includes multiple election cycles.

Eurocrats Propose “One Market Act,” Digital Euro

European Union leaders are proposing new measures to deepen regional integration on the road to becoming a full-fledged federal state.

On February 11, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced the “One Europe, One Market” initiative, which aims to impose full market integration in all economic sectors. At the EU leaders’ summit held the following day in Belgium, Eurocrats endorsed implementing this initiative by the end of 2027, and von der Leyen is expected to unveil an “EU-wide, single legal framework” on March 18.

Previous Calls for Integration

This proposal has been years in the making. For example, former Italian prime ministers Mario Draghi and Enrico Letta, at the request of the European Commission, published reports in 2024 calling for deeper EU integration.

As we reported in the October 31, 2025 “Insider Report,” Draghi, a Bilderberg Group member who also served as president of the European Central Bank, has called for “a new pragmatic federalism” — consistent with his previous calls for a full-fledged federal European superstate — that would require EU member nations to give up their veto power.

Meanwhile, Letta is advocating for the EU to pass the “One Market Act,” which would implement von der Leyen’s “One Europe, One Market” proposal. In an op-ed published in Politico on February 26, Letta argued:

In a world reshaped by Trump and by the accelerating logic of geopolitical competition, Europe needs an answer that is both realistic and ambitious. The strongest response the EU can offer is to complete the single market….

In the areas that matter most, we still do not have one market. We have the sum of 27 national markets.

This fragmentation is not a technical flaw. It is a political and strategic weakness….

This is why we need a bold political commitment to strengthen and complete the single market. We need an agreement that creates a fast track for the steps required to complete it, endorsed by the presidents of the EU institutions. It should have a name that matches its ambition: the One Market Act.

In 1992, Europe moved from a common market to a single market. Now we need the next step: one market.

Multiple EU member states openly support Draghi’s and Letta’s proposals, As we reported in the February 6 “Insider Report,” European national leaders are working on their own initiatives to promote and implement the same goals.

O’Keefe Media Group Releases Undercover Video of Chenega & Cherokee Federal Executive Admitting “Native-Owned” Firms Cheat Government Contracts

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released undercover video of a Chenega & Cherokee federal executive admitting that “Native-owned” firms cheat US government contracts and outsource the work while they collect millions.

Ricky Longhurst, Senior Account Executive at Cherokee Federal, told the undercover OMG journalist that companies are claiming ‘Native’ ownership to “cheat” the government.

Mike Montgomery, a Chenega Architecture and Design President, disclosed the revenue split: “We give 37% back to the tribe for infrastructure… 63% goes back to the business.”

“So, how do you do that because you don’t look Native?” the OMG journalist asked Mike Montgomery.

“I’m not Native, no. No, they hire business executives, that understand the federal marketspace – but the board members are all Alaskans in the Chenega Tribe,” he said.

Per the O’Keefe Media Group:

In OMG’s previous undercover footage, ATI Government Solutions Contract Manager Melayne Cromwell admitted, “We only do 20%… the rest goes to subs.”

New undercover footage involving executives connected to Chenega Architecture and Design and Cherokee Federal describes similar arrangements and admits they are cheating.

Ricky Longhurst, Senior Account Executive at Cherokee Federal, summed up the system bluntly: “It’s cheating really.”

These companies are claiming Native ownership on paper to access and secure 8(a) government contracts worth $100+ million.

Mike Montgomery of Chenega Architecture and Design described how the revenue is split: “We give 37% back to the tribe for infrastructure… 63% goes back to the business.”

He also stated, “We have an incentive because of the Alaskan Native ownership.”

Following our first report, Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler announced major enforcement action.

Loeffler stated that the “SBA suspended 1,091 firms from the 8(a) Program,” and the agency took “immediate action” against companies taking advantage of the program.
