Microsoft Warns Experimental Windows 11 AI Could Install Malware on Your Computer

Microsoft said in an update on Nov. 17 that Windows 11 users who utilize “agentic features” from its AI services should be cautious because the AI agents could potentially download and install malware.

In an alert, Microsoft warned that its AI models could “occasionally hallucinate” and introduce “novel security risks” such as malware because large language models, a type of AI that processes data and generates human-like text, are susceptible to cyberattacks.

“As these capabilities are introduced, AI models still face functional limitations in terms of how they behave and occasionally may hallucinate and produce unexpected outputs. Additionally, agentic AI applications introduce novel security risks, such as cross-prompt injection (XPIA),” the warning stated. A prompt injection attack is a type of cyberattack where an attacker crafts an input to trick the AI into performing malicious actions.

Microsoft added that in the case of Windows 11’s “experimental” AI services, “malicious content embedded in UI elements or documents can override agent instructions, leading to unintended actions like data exfiltration or malware installation.”

The AI features are turned off by default and operate only after the user opts into them, the company said.

The agentic AI setting “can only be enabled by an administrator user of the device and once enabled, it’s enabled for all users on the device including other administrators and standard users,” Microsoft said of the AI services.

UK wins fight to hide data linking Covid vaccines to deaths

Under a recent ruling by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) will not be required to release data that may show a link between Covid-19 vaccines and excess deaths. The decision follows a two-year legal battle initiated by the nonprofit group UsForThem, which had filed a freedom of information request for access to the data.

The agency argued that releasing the information could cause “distress” to families of the deceased and be used to promote “misinformation” about the vaccines. Critics say this reasoning serves more as a shield for institutional self-preservation than public interest.

Legal director Ben Kingsley of UsForThem called the UKHSA’s decision “a desperation that this data should not, in any form, see the light of day.” The watchdog group TrialSite News wrote that by relying on emotional harm rather than scientific concerns, the government “inadvertently strengthened the very narrative it likely hoped to avoid.”

Among those speaking out are vaccine-injured individuals like Danielle Baker, a former hospice nurse who was left permanently disabled after receiving a Covid-19 shot.

UK Blocks Lucy Connolly, Jailed for Social Media Post, From Speaking in US on Free Speech Crackdown

Lucy Connolly, the British woman jailed in 2024 over a social media post, says senior government officials have blocked her from traveling to the United States to speak about online expression and state censorship.

The invitation came from Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who had arranged for her to testify on Britain’s handling of speech-related prosecutions.

Connolly was released from prison in August 2025. She remains under strict supervision until March 2026 as part of the country’s highest-level public protection scheme. The ban on travel, she says, was not issued by probation officers but was directed by government officials.

“They did go straight to the top. They bypassed probation and went, you know, to the government and yeah it came back as a ‘absolutely not,’” Connolly told GB News.

She said the original plan to travel involved direct outreach to Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s office.

“I don’t know the ins and outs of what was said and what happened. I just know that I got an answer back of “it’s a hard no.”

Connolly had been asked to speak in the US about the UK’s use of criminal charges for controversial online speech.

Authorities blocked the trip under MAPPA, the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements framework, a system typically reserved for individuals considered violent or sexually dangerous.

Connolly is currently held under MAPPA Level 3, the most intensive level, which places her under oversight from not only probation officers but also police, government press handlers, and other agencies.

Under the terms, she must request approval for any public appearance and is monitored in her daily life.

“I’m a MAPPA level three. I don’t know if you know what that means, but sex offenders and terrorists get put on MAPPA level three,” she said.

“So I’m not just answerable to probation… I have to ask them permission to do everything.”

Since her release, she has been denied permission to travel internationally and must seek formal clearance for any public engagement, including, she says, observing a parliamentary debate on whether prison is an appropriate response to social media offenses.

“They use the excuse of, well, it’s because of the press interest, you’re high profile with the press,” she said.

Connolly believes the monitoring has less to do with risk and more to do with optics. Her case, she says, has become politically inconvenient.

“You’re basically chucked in the same bag as sex offenders and some of the worst people in society, all because of that tweet,” GB News reporter Ben Leo told her. She replied, “A hundred percent.”

She also described being questioned by authorities over unrelated press attention, which was flagged internally as a concern. The incident, she said, was “something and nothing,” but was treated as a serious issue “because it’s me.”

Connolly says the government’s posture on speech no longer reflects a free society.

Trump Stuns Press In Defending MbS Over Khashoggi Murder, As Saudis Float $1 Trillion Investment

Things were a bit rough during a Q&A with the White House press pool as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) was at the White House Tuesday. One ABC reporter asked MbS point blank what he’s for many years tried to avoid being asked – about the murder of  journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump was none too happy about the question, and said it sought to ’embarrass’ a guest of the White House. 

“Who are you with? ABC? One of the worst in the business,” Trump had initially reacted, also after the journalist said that 9/11 families are not happy at MbS’ red carpet treatment in Washington. Despite US intelligence previously pointing to bin Salman’s role in overseeing the 2018 murder at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Trump brushed it off. The US president also went so far as to say of the victim, “You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial.” And then he claimed MbS knew nothing about it. “A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about, whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen,” Trump also said in reference to Khashoggi.

But for this ‘positive PR’ and with the sitting US president running defense on behalf of the crown prince – which apparently has even resulted in Trump asking for ABC’s FCC license and right to broadcast to be revoked – bin Salman ‘must pay’. 

Indeed, MbS came bearing gifts. He committed the kingdom to increasing his planned investment into the U.S. economy to nearly $1 trillion. After this, the NY Times commented, “The new number the prince floated today, $1 trillion, is roughly the size of Saudi Arabia’s entire annual economic output.” 

Town Hall has broken this down as follows:

  • $750M+ already flowing into American manufacturing
  • $300M new gas-turbine investment in Greenville, SC
  • Tripling production at the SC plant
  • 500+ pieces NEW equipment installed
  • 1,800 real American manufacturing jobs created
  • Building skilled workforce pipeline with local communities
  • Supporting BOTH U.S. energy needs & Saudi demand
  • “REAL JOBS in the manufacturing space.”

“You’ve agreed to invest $600 billion into the United States and because he’s my friend, he might make it a trillion, but I’m going to have to work on him. But it’s 600. We can count on 600 billion. But, that number could go up a little bit higher,” Trump said Tuesday while speaking to MbS.

“That means investments in plants, in companies, money on Wall Street. And what it really means for everybody, what really counts is jobs. A lot of jobs. We have a lot of jobs,” Trump added.

Quantum teleportation between photons from two distant light sources achieved

Everyday life on the internet is insecure. Hackers can break into bank accounts or steal digital identities. Driven by AI, attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Quantum cryptography promises more effective protection. It makes communication secure against eavesdropping by relying on the laws of quantum physics. However, the path toward a quantum internet is still fraught with technical hurdles.

Researchers at the Institute of Semiconductor Optics and Functional Interfaces (IHFG) at the University of Stuttgart have now made a decisive breakthrough in one of the most technically challenging components, the quantum repeater. They report their results in Nature Communications.

Nanometer-sized semiconductor islands for information transfer

“For the first time worldwide, we have succeeded in transferring quantum information among photons originating from two different quantum dots,” says Prof. Peter Michler, head of the IHFG and deputy spokesperson for the Quantenrepeater.Net (QR.N) research project.

What is the background? Whether WhatsApp or video stream, every digital message consists of zeros and ones. Similarly, this also applies to quantum communication, in which individual light particles serve as carriers of information.

Zero or one is then encoded in two different directions of polarization of the photons (i.e., their orientation in the horizontal and vertical directions or in a superposition of both states). Because photons follow the laws of quantum mechanics, their polarization cannot always be completely read out without leaving traces. Any attempt to intercept the transmission would inevitably be detected.

Making the quantum internet ready for the fiber-optic infrastructure

Another challenge: An affordable quantum internet would use optical fibers—just like today’s internet. However, light has only a limited range. Conventional light signals, therefore, need to be renewed approximately every 50 kilometers using an optical amplifier.

Because quantum information cannot simply be amplified or copied and forwarded, this does not work in the quantum internet. However, quantum physics allows information to be transferred from one photon to another as long as the information stays unknown. This process is referred to as quantum teleportation.

Covering Up the Behavioral Health Links to Mass Murders and Assassinations

When violent bloodshed occurs – a school shooting, an assassination, a sudden act of mass violence— behavioral health usually is behind it.

With so many of the nation’s most disturbing violent cases, too often the essential evidence remains sealed, unavailable for public review, like the diary belonging to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, Adam Lanza’s mother, and the reported manifesto of Nashville’s Covenant School shooter, Audrey Hale, (withheld and portions later leaked), plus toxicology reports, DNA and fingerprints and ballistic data necessary as physical evidence to identity the killer and motive.  This is done through meticulous forensic investigation, including how access to the crime scene was gained and whether accomplices were involved; the scientific analysis of toxicology reports, DNA, fingerprints, and ballistic evidence is absolutely essential, providing the objective, irrefutable proof necessary to identify the shooter and uncover the truth behind these senseless, horrific attacks.

Behavioral health “experts” frequently appear linked to suspects, but the exact affiliations and workplace connections rarely are disclosed. The parents of the accused Trump shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, from Butler, PA, are licensed by the state as “experts” in mental health, but whether the family has connections to Governor Shapiro’s agencies throughout the state or research grants with universities remains unknown.

Amber Robinson, for example, the mother of Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin, is employed by Intermountain Behavioral Health in Utah, which received a $750,000 grant under Utah Governor Cox. What other connections does the Robinson family have with the State of Utah and specifically Governor Cox administration?

Moreover, the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) utilizes psychiatric profiles to help solve crimes, but withholds raw data, physical evidence, and sometimes fails to release its own investigative reports, as is the case of the Butler PA attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump in 2023.

The BAU, as the psychiatric industry arm within the FBI, focuses on profiling the psychological mindset and motives behind these high-profile crimes. Yet, despite this focus, the BAU withholds then names of any behavioral health “experts” or their “treatments” that precede the crime and rarely solves these national mass killings.  The data is selectively and strategically dripped out to the public.

The federal law enforcement agency’s repeated failures raise profound questions about possible inside jobs or the possibility of cover-ups, protecting systemic issues in behavioral health and law enforcement.

These systemic flaws within the behavioral health industry and, especially, within law enforcement, allow well-coordinated access to vulnerable children, too often serviced by state mental health vendors that gain trust over many years—a network that may shield threats, inhibit transparency, and prioritize institutional preservation over safety.

The behavioral health system controls vulnerable youth, often medicated under opaque contracts with expensive but irresponsible mental health providers certainly capable of weaponizing developing minds. Montana’s outsourcing of child behavioral health contracts, for example, includes financial ties to China, revealing outside intervention in the nation’s mental health system.

The youth caught up in the mental health system, often are forced into state care and become disposable. Nikolas Cruz, The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter in Parkland FL., had been prescribed cocktails of psychiatric mind-altering drugs most of his young life. Henderson Behavioral Health, a Florida contractor exposed during the sentencing hearing was the behavioral health vendor paid to care for Cruz through the state behavioral health system. Yet the medical files, including mental health files, were sealed and, not surprisingly, Henderson Behavioral Health was never held responsible for Cruz’s  murderous actions, despite having been Cruz’s pill pusher for years.

The diary of Audrey Hale was obtained by Nashville Police on the day of the crime, March 27, 2023. Despite immediate possession, Hale’s “manifesto” remained sealed for more than two years. Only in May 2025, after expensive and lengthy legal battles, did the FBI disclose over 100 pages of shooter Hale’s manifesto. Withholding this data limited public understanding and fueled controversy about transparency and systemic concealment.

Despite early claims that Audrey Hale had not been prescribed psychiatric drugs, a Nashville police search warrant revealed prescriptions for Buspirone, Lexapro, Hydroxyzine, and others from Vanderbilt University Hospital. Blood tests conducted at autopsy did not test for therapeutic levels, leaving Hale’s medication status unclear, and fueling debate over the role of psychiatry and transgender care in the attack.  AbleChild helped secure in Tennessee a landmark law to test for therapeutic levels of psychotropic drugs in mass shooters.

In the case of Charlie Kirk’s death, limited information reveals that Lance Twiggs, the alleged romantic interest of alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, underwent psychiatric experimentation akin to Utah’s Intermountain Trans care program—viewed as Utah’s Vanderbilt equivalent, where Audrey Hale received transgender psychiatric care.

Each incident repeats the cycle: public shock, managed narratives, and a wall of silence as records stay sealed. Until full disclosure, America’s violent crimes remain shrouded in secrecy.

“I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” – President Trump Signs Epstein Files Transparency Act, Says The Truth About Epstein’s Democrat Affiliates “Will Soon be Revealed”

President Trump has signed the Epstein Files Transparency act into law to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House overwhelmingly voted for the bill, with only one Republican defector, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), voting against the bill, citing privacy concerns for victims of Epstein.

The Senate later approved the bill by unanimous consent.

The President called on Congress to pass the bill on  Tuesday, stating, “We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown.’”

President Trump released a statement on Wednesday, slamming the Democrats and highlighting Jeffrey Epstein’s support for Democrats and his affiliation with prominent Democrats like Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Summers.

Fox reports, “Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters Wednesday that she would comply with the law after it was signed, which directs the Justice Department to release the files online in a searchable format within 30 days.”

“Do not forget — The Biden Administration did not turn over a SINGLE file or page related to Democrat Epstein, nor did they ever even speak about him,” Trump said.

“For years our Great Nation has had to endure RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #1, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #2, and many other Democrat created Witch Hunts and Scams, all of which have been so terrible and divisive for our Country, and have been done to confuse, deflect, and distract from the GREAT JOB that Republicans, and the Trump Administration, are doing,” the President continued. “This latest Hoax will backfire on the Democrats just as all of the rest have! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!“

South Florida Congresswoman Charged with Stealing $5 Million in FEMA Funds and Making Illegal Campaign Contributions

A federal grand jury in Miami has returned an indictment charging Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and several co-defendants with stealing federal disaster funds, laundering the proceeds, and using the money to support her 2021 congressional campaign.

According to the indictment, Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, and her brother Edwin Cherfilus, 51, both of Miramar, worked through their family health-care company on a FEMA-funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract in 2021. In July 2021, the company received an overpayment of $5 million in FEMA funds.

The indictment alleges that the defendants conspired to steal that $5 million and routed it through multiple accounts to disguise its source. Prosecutors allege that a substantial portion of the misappropriated funds was used as candidate contributions to Cherfilus-McCormick’s 2021 congressional campaign and for the personal benefit of the defendants.

The indictment further alleges that Cherfilus-McCormick and Nadege Leblanc, 46, of Miramar, arranged additional contributions using straw donors, funneling other monies from the FEMA-funded Covid-19 contract to friends and relatives who then donated to the campaign as if using their own money.

The indictment also charges Cherfilus-McCormick and her 2021 tax preparer David K. Spencer, 41, of Davie, with conspiring to file a false federal tax return. According to the indictment, they falsely claimed political spending and other personal expenses as business deductions and inflated charitable contributions in order to reduce her tax obligations.

“Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain. We will follow the facts in this case and deliver justice.”

U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida stated, “Today’s indictment shows no one is above the law. This indictment reflects our Office’s commitment to follow the facts, apply the law, and protect the American taxpayer. Public money belongs to the American people. When FEMA funds are diverted for personal or political gain, it erodes trust and harms us all. We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to ensure that American taxpayer dollars are used as intended and that the public’s trust is safeguarded.”

If convicted, Cherfilus-McCormick faces up to 53 years in prison. Edwin Cherfilus faces up to 35 years, Leblanc up to 10 years, and Spencer up to 33 years.
U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones; Special Agent in Charge Brett D. Skiles of the FBI, Miami Field Office; and Special Agent in Charge Ronald A. Loecker of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), Florida Field Office, made the announcement.

FBI Miami and the IRS-CI Florida Field Office are investigating the case.

‘More Horrific Than Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo’: The Unsalvageable Depravity of Israel’s Prisons for Palestinians

On June 19, 2024, Khaled Mahajneh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, became the first lawyer to visit a notorious detention facility for Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, located inside the Sde Teiman military base in the Negev Desert, one of several detention facilities established after October 7, 2023 to hold Palestinians seized in Gaza.

Speaking to +972 Magazine a week after his visit, Mahanjeh drew a pertinent comparison with the treatment of Muslim prisoners in the US’s post-9/11 “war on terror”, but concluded that Israel’s behavior was even worse.

“The situation there is more horrific than anything we’ve heard about Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo”, he said, adding, “I have been visiting political and security detainees and prisoners in Israeli jails for years, including since October 7. I know that the conditions of detention have become much harsher, and that the prisoners are abused on a daily basis. But Sde Teiman was unlike anything I’ve seen or heard before.”

Mahajneh “was initially approached by Al Araby TV, which was seeking information about Muhammad Arab”, also identified as Mohammed Saber Arab, “a reporter for the network who was arrested in March while covering the Israeli siege of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.”

Plaskett Delivers Jaw-Dropping Explanation of Why She Texted Jeffrey Epstein During Congressional Hearing

Democrat Del. Stacey Plaskett (VI-At Large) continued her whirlwind public tour in which she’s tried to convince anyone who will listen that texting sex predator Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing is totally normal.

It’s been a sight to see. Plaskett, who the Washington Post revealed was texting Epstein in real-time, steering her questioning of an anti-Trump witness at his direction, has offered some unique defenses.

Last night, some of the top minds in the Democrat party (which is akin to having a favorite STD) put their heads together and came up with the little-known “constituency defense.”

That is, as RedState’s Katie Jerkovich reported, Plaskett was involved in nothing nefarious. She was simply texting an average, everyday constituent.

“I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at the time was my constituent,” Plaskett blathered about on the House floor. “Who…was not public knowledge at that time, that he was under federal investigation, and who was sharing information with me.”
