CIA and Mossad-linked Surveillance System Quietly Being Installed Throughout the US

Launched in 2016 in response to a Tel Aviv shooting and the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, Gabriel offers a suite of surveillance products for “security and safety” incidents at “so-called soft targets and communal spaces, including schools, community centers, synagogues and churches.” The company makes the lofty promise that its products “stop mass shootings.” According to a 2018 report on Gabriel published in the Jerusalem Post, there were an estimated 475,000 such “soft targets” across the U.S., meaning that “the potential market for Gabriel is huge.”

Gabriel, since its founding, has been backed by “an impressive group of leaders,” mainly “former leaders of Mossad, Shin Bet [Israel’s domestic intelligence agency], FBI and CIA.” In recent years, even more former leaders of Israeli and American intelligence agencies have found their way onto Gabriel’s advisory board and have promoted the company’s products.

While the adoption of its surveillance technology was slower than expected in the United States, that dramatically changed last year, when an “anonymous philanthropist” gave the company $1 million to begin installing its products throughout schools, houses of worship and community centers throughout the country. That same “philanthropist” has promised to recruit others to match his donation, with the ultimate goal of installing Gabriel’s system in “every single synagogue, school and campus community in the country.”

With this CIA, FBI and Mossad-backed system now being installed throughout the United States for “free,” it is worth taking a critical look at Gabriel and its products, particularly the company’s future vision for its surveillance system. Perhaps unsurprisingly, much of the company’s future vision coincides with the vision of the intelligence agencies backing it – pre-crime, robotic policing and biometric surveillance.

South Korea’s Ruling Party Pushes “Special Court for Rebellion” – A Communist-Style Assault on Judicial Independence

Korea’s pro-China totalitarian leader met with President Trump this week at the White House.

On August 28, 2025, South Korea’s Democratic Party (DP) crossed a dangerous line. In response to the judiciary’s rejection of an arrest warrant for former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, the DP not only condemned the courts but also moved to create a so-called “Special Court for Rebellion.”

This is not a normal judicial measure. It is an attempt to strip authority from ordinary courts and build a parallel tribunal designed to guarantee convictions. In reality, this amounts to the creation of a Communist-style pseudo-court—courts in appearance, but not in substance—serving as instruments of political repression.

Key developments on August 28:

** The DP’s emergency committee and hardliners denounced the judiciary’s decision as sending the “wrong signal” to so-called “rebellion forces.”

** Calls for a “Special Court for Rebellion” escalated from rhetoric to formal resolution and legislative planning. According to Yonhap News, the DP will present legislation to establish the tribunal as early as September 4.

** Senior DP lawmakers declared: “The ordinary judiciary cannot be trusted. A special panel is required to handle rebellion charges.”

On social media and in press briefings, DP figures demanded “swift reapplication of warrants” and labeled the judiciary’s independence as an obstacle to “ending rebellion.”

This is nothing less than a Stalinist tactic:

** Branding political opponents as “rebels” to justify extraordinary tribunals;

** Overriding the independent judiciary with a handpicked court loyal to the ruling party;

** Turning the language of law into a weapon for political purge.

The Communist People’s Courts of the 20th century operated in precisely this way: they mimicked judicial form while serving as political tools. The Democratic Party is now attempting to reproduce this in South Korea. It is a direct assault on the separation of powers and the rule of law.

Germany: Economist Thomas Vierhaus Fined €16,100 for Sarcastic X Posts

A Düsseldorf-based economist has found himself at the center of a criminal case for making sarcastic remarks online about high-profile public figures.

Thomas Vierhaus is being prosecuted under Section 185 of the German Criminal Code for three separate X posts that government officials and journalists deemed insulting.

The total fine, delivered in the form of a penalty order from the Düsseldorf District Court on August 12, amounts to €16,100.

This is part of a growing trend in Germany where speech that irritates those in power increasingly results in legal consequences.

The first incident dates back to June 2023. Katrin Göring-Eckardt, Vice President of the Bundestag and a leading figure in the Green Party, had issued an alarmist post about climate change.

She cited droughts, wildfires, and high sea temperatures as proof that the climate crisis was unfolding “with full force.” Vierhaus, unimpressed, replied that “there is indeed an extreme drought, namely in Katrin Göring-Eckardt’s head.”

This offhand remark would likely have disappeared unnoticed if not for a doctoral student who had taken it upon himself to patrol the internet.

The student filled out a criminal complaint form on Göring-Eckardt’s behalf and sent it to her. She signed and forwarded it to the police, setting off the first of several investigations into Vierhaus’s social media activity.

The second charge came after Vierhaus discovered the identity of the same doctoral student and referred to him online as a “little snitch.”

Given that the student had already been submitting complaint forms to politicians for them to sign, the label was hardly unprovoked. Nevertheless, the student filed a personal complaint and claimed insult.

A third post earned Vierhaus further legal trouble when he criticized ARD journalist Moritz Rödle on July 7, 2023.

Rödle had defended Economics Minister Robert Habeck’s decision to skip a Bundestag debate on Germany’s heating law, attending a Bundesrat session instead.

Vierhaus responded with a post calling Rödle a “nincompoop” and added, “You still have a lot to learn in order not to be constantly fooled.”

Rödle filed a complaint through Hessen gegen Hetze, a government-operated online platform that encourages users to report speech deemed hateful or offensive.

The 10th Circuit Agrees That Prosecuting Cannabis Consumers for Gun Possession May Be Unconstitutional

On a Friday in May 2022, Jared Harrison was on his way to work at an Oklahoma medical marijuana dispensary when a police officer stopped him for running a red light. When Harrison rolled down his window, the officer smelled marijuana. A search of the car discovered a loaded revolver, a pill bottle containing a few partially smoked joints, another joint in a console tray, and a backpack containing marijuana, THC gummies, and two THC vape cartridges.

Because Harrison did not have a state-issued medical marijuana card, he was charged with illegal possession of cannabis under state law, a misdemeanor. But he also faced a felony charge under 18 USC 922(g)(3), the federal law that bars illegal drug users from possessing firearms. That charge, he argued, violated the Second Amendment. A federal judge agreed, ruling in February 2023 that the government had failed to show Harrison’s prosecution was “consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation”—the constitutional test that the U.S. Supreme Court established in the 2022 case New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.

This week the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit reversed that ruling and remanded the case for further consideration. The 10th Circuit’s decision in United States v. Harrison, because it endorsed U.S. District Judge Patrick Wyrick’s reasoning in nearly all respects, nevertheless represents another in a series of blows to a policy that affects millions of peaceful Americans, depriving them of the constitutional right to armed self-defense for no good reason.

As it has in other Section 922(g)(3) cases, the government argued that cannabis consumers are not part of “the people” whose “right to keep and bear arms” is guaranteed by the Second Amendment because they are not “law-abiding.” Wyrick made short work of that claim, noting that the Supreme Court has said “the people,” as used in the Bill of Rights, “unambiguously refers to all members of the political community, not an unspecified subset.”

The government’s argument amounted to “an outright declaration of the federal government’s belief that it can deprive practically anyone of their Second Amendment right,” Wyrick added. “Who among us, after all, isn’t a ‘lawbreaker’? For sure, there
may well exist some adult[s] who [have] never exceeded the speed limit, changed lanes without signaling, or failed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, but they are few and far between.”

The three-judge 10th Circuit panel unanimously agreed with Wyrick on this point. “A contrary conclusion would defy law and logic,” Judge Veronica Rossman, a Joe Biden appointee, writes in the majority opinion, which was joined in full by Judge Michael R. Murphy, who was nominated by Bill Clinton, and in part by Judge Paul J. Kelly Jr., who was appointed by George H.W. Bush. “The First and Fourth Amendments also refer to the ‘people,’ and nobody contends only ‘law-abiding citizens’ enjoy the rights protected by these constitutional guarantees….Restricting the Second Amendment to ‘law-abiding’ citizens—as the government urges us to do—would make it harder to administer and would risk turning it into ‘a second-class right.'”

Federal Appeals Court Says Government Must Prove Marijuana Users ‘Pose A Risk’ Of Danger To Justify Gun Ban

A federal appeals court has ruled that the government must prove that people who use marijuana “pose a risk of future danger” if it wants to justify applying a law banning cannabis consumers from owning firearms.

In its opinion on Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit sided with a federal district court that dismissed an indictment against Jared Michael Harrison, who was charged in Oklahoma in 2022 after police discovered cannabis and a handgun in his vehicle during a traffic stop.

The case has now been remanded to that lower court, which determined that the current statute banning “unlawful” users of marijuana from possessing firearms, known as 922(g)(3), violates the Second Amendment of the Constitution.

The Justice Department appealed that ruling in 2023, sending it to the Tenth Circuit. That three-judge panel said they “agree with much of the district court’s analysis” of the legal considerations, including its challenge to the federal government’s claims that there is historically analogous precedent substantiating the firearm ban for cannabis consumers.

Ohio governor calls kratom an imminent public health risk, pushes for ban

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is urging the Ohio Board of Pharmacy to classify kratom as a Schedule I drug, citing it as an “imminent public health risk” due to its potential dangers, particularly for teenagers and babies.

Kratom, which is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, is sold in products like the Feel Free drink at gas stations and stores in Ohio and Kentucky.

The governor’s proposal would make Ohio the first state to take such strong action against kratom.

Doctors at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital are raising alarms about its risks.

Dr. Stephanie Merher, a neonatologist, said, “Some of the moms who have taken this and not taken anything else, they have actually needed to go on buprenorphine or methadone to get off of this. It’s that potent.”

She has treated babies exposed in utero who exhibit symptoms similar to opioid withdrawal, including fussiness, tremors and difficulty eating.

Dr. Shan Yin, medical director of the Cincinnati Drug and Poison Information Center, explained that kratom and kava, another ingredient in Feel Free, create a “speedball-like” effect. He noted, “It’s also at this point, unregulated. So, you never know quite what’s in it.”

Feel Free is sold as an herbal product, not a controlled substance, and carries a “21+ only” warning, which the company says it voluntarily implemented. However, that is not required under federal or Ohio law, so anyone can purchase it in the state.

Kentucky lawmakers enacted a 21-plus age limit on kratom last year, while Indiana banned it completely in 2014. Ohio currently has no restrictions.

Earlier in August, Ohio House Minority Leader Dani Isaacson (D) told WLWT he wants to protect kids from the synthetic form form of Kratom known as 7-OH. “You can buy it at convenience stores and gas stations and vape stores in super concentrated forms with no age restrictions. It’s not behind the counter. And so we need to do something about it.”

Botanic Tonics, the maker of Feel Free, disputes the safety concerns, asserting that its product contains only natural, whole-leaf kratom, not the concentrated synthetic form known as 7-OH.

The mask charade returns in Ukraine, as medical tyrants mandate masks to save a beleaguered nation from “Nimbus and Stratus” COVID strains

We’re living in a world where the same failed policies—once exposed as useless, humiliating, and psychologically damaging—are dusted off and paraded back onto the stage like a washed-up magician repeating his worst trick. That’s exactly what’s happening in Ukraine right now, where health authorities, clutching their pearls over a few hundred COVID cases, have decided to drag the public back into the dark ages of mask mandates, restricted hospital visits, and the suffocating illusion of control.

The threat that Ukrainians now face? Two new Omicron subvariants, dubbed “Nimbus” and “Stratus,” which sound less like scientific designations and more like the names of rejected Transformers villains. But let’s cut through the theatrical fog: This isn’t about health. It’s about conditioning a population to accept that their freedoms are negotiable, that their bodies are not their own, and that the ruling class will never voluntarily surrender the power they seized in the name of a “pandemic.”

Key points:

  • Ukraine has reintroduced mask mandates in hospitals in the Rovno and Odessa regions, citing a rise in COVID-19 cases linked to new Omicron subvariants “Nimbus” and “Stratus,” with nearly 500 cases reported since August and 1,121 in Kiev alone last week.
  • The move mirrors the failed COVID policies of 2020–2021, when mandates and lockdowns were imposed globally despite no evidence they stopped transmission—only that they crushed economies, mental health, and civil liberties.
  • The same institutions pushing masks and vaccines—the CDC, FDA, WHO, and their globalist backers—have a documented history of regulatory capture, fraudulent science, and financial conflicts of interest with Big Pharma.
  • Natural immunity and early treatment options (like ivermectin, vitamin D, and zinc) were suppressed during the pandemic, while experimental mRNA injections were forced on populations with no long-term safety data—and now, vaccinated populations are seeing surges in infections.
  • The real agenda behind renewed mask theater may be distraction, control, or conditioning for future biosecurity measures, including digital health passes, vaccine mandates, or even another lockdown push.
  • Informed consent and bodily autonomy must be non-negotiable—no government or health authority has the right to coerce medical compliance under the guise of “public health.”

Why are “experts” still pretending masks work?

Let’s get one thing straight: Masks were never about science. They were about symbolism—a visible sign of submission to authority, a way to signal virtue while doing nothing to stop a respiratory virus. Study after study, from the Danish mask trial (which found no statistically significant reduction in COVID transmission) to the CDC’s own meta-analysis in 2020 (which admitted cloth masks offer “little to no protection”), confirmed what common sense already told us: A piece of fabric over your face doesn’t stop an aerosolized virus or a bioweapons that is being programmed directly into the cells through vaccination platforms. Yet here we are, three years later, watching Ukraine’s health bureaucrats dust off the same discredited playbook as if we didn’t just live through the largest-scale psychological experiment in modern history.

Andrey Karaush, head of the Rovno regional council, proudly announced the return of mask mandates in a Telegram post, as if he were unveiling a groundbreaking medical breakthrough rather than recycling a failed policy of mental degradation. Nearly 500 cases in a region of over a million people—and suddenly, the entire population must don the muzzle again. But let’s ask the obvious: If masks worked, why are cases rising now? Why did fully vaccinated college campuses—like the University of Oregon, where 960 “breakthrough” infections erupted in January 2022—see massive outbreaks among the jabbed and the masked? Why did Israel, one of the most vaccinated nations on Earth, experience record-case surges in 2021?

What we’re seeing in Ukraine isn’t a public health response—it’s a power grab. The same institutions that suppressed early treatment, censored dissenting doctors, and pushed experimental injections with zero long-term data are now testing the waters to see how much compliance they can still extract. And if history is any guide, they won’t stop until they’re forced to.

The Right to Be Left Alone

What if the federal government captures in real time the contents of every telephone call, email and text message and all the fiber-optic data generated by every person and entity in the United States 24/7? What if this mass surveillance was never authorized by any federal law and tramples the Fourth Amendment?

What if this mass surveillance has come about by the secret collusion of presidents and their spies in the National Security Agency and by the federal government forcing the major telephone and computer service providers to cooperate with it? What if the service providers were coerced into giving the feds continuous physical access to their computers and thus to all the data contained in and passing through those computers?

What if President George W. Bush told the NSA that since it is part of the Defense Department and he was the commander in chief of the military, NSA agents could spy on anyone, notwithstanding any court orders or statutes that prohibited it? What if Bush believed that his orders to the military were not constrained by the laws against computer hacking that Congress had written or the interpretations of those laws by federal courts or even by the Constitution?

What if Congress has written laws that all presidents have sworn to uphold and that require a warrant issued by a judge before the NSA can spy on anyone but Bush effectively told the NSA to go through the motions of getting a warrant while spying without warrants on everyone in the U.S. all the time? What if Presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Donald Trump have taken the same position toward the NSA and ordered or permitted the same warrantless and lawless spying?

What if the Constitution requires warrants based on probable cause of criminal behavior before surveillance can be conducted but Congress has written laws reducing that standard to probable cause of communicating with a foreign national? What if a basic principle of constitutional law is that Congress is subject to the Constitution and therefore cannot change its terms or their meanings?

What if the Constitution requires that all warrants particularly describe the place to be searched or the person or thing to be seized? What if the warrants Congress permits the NSA to use violate that requirement by permitting a federal court — the FISA Court — to issue general warrants? What if general warrants do not particularly describe the place to be searched or the person or thing to be seized but rather authorize the bearer to search indiscriminately through service providers’ customer data?

What if the government has no moral, constitutional or legal right to personal information about and from all of us without a valid search warrant consistent with constitutional requirements?

Denmark Summons US Ambassador Over Alleged ‘Covert Influence Operations’ in Greenland, as Copenhagen Apologizes for Decades of Forced Sterilization of Inuit Greenlander Women

Operation Greenland seems to be ‘on’.

These last days, the US territorial ambitions regarding the island of Greenland have resurfaced in the headlines, as the consequences of the brutal treatment by Denmark of the indigenous Inuit populations are also propelled back to the news.

Today (27), the main Danish national broadcaster reported that ‘at least three people with connections to President Donald Trump’ have been carrying out what they called ‘covert influence operations’ in Greenland.

This led Copenhagen to summon the U.S. ambassador to the country for talks.

Associated Press reported:

“Public broadcaster DR said Danish government and security sources which it didn’t name, as well as unidentified sources in Greenland and the U.S., believe that at least three American nationals with connections to Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in the territory.

One of those people allegedly compiled a list of U.S.-friendly Greenlanders, collected names of people opposed to Trump and got locals to point out cases that could be used to cast Denmark in a bad light in American media. Two others have tried to nurture contacts with politicians, businesspeople and locals, according to the report.”

Miami Beach’s Silent Crisis: How Greed, Corruption, And Indifference Are Destroying Lives Behind Closed Doors

In Miami Beach, we have a problem most residents never see until it is too late. What is happening to Robert Kraft, known to many as Raven, is not just one man’s story. It is a warning to every homeowner and resident in this city.

Raven has run eight miles every single day along Ocean Drive for nearly fifty years. His daily run has become part of the soul of Miami Beach. Now, after decades of calling this city home, he faces foreclosure. Not because he refused to pay. Not because of financial irresponsibility. But because bad actors inside a broken system have found ways to exploit local enforcement gaps, city oversight failures, and association loopholes for personal profit.

It started as a legitimate repair issue. Structural problems led to court intervention. A Special Master, David Swilley, was appointed to oversee the building at 326 Ocean Drive. That is where the real abuse began. Instead of protecting residents, Swilley and his associates took complete control of the building’s finances, levied inflated assessments, misapplied payments, and took out high-interest loans without owner approval. Many of those loans appear to be linked to entities associated directly with Swilley.

There has been no functioning board. Residents have no vote. Notices are delivered late or not at all. Accounting records are opaque. Personal information was improperly exposed. Violations of the Florida Condominium Act and consumer protection laws are piling up. While residents are being financially squeezed and forced out, those in control continue collecting legal fees, management fees, and pocketing the proceeds of a manufactured financial crisis.

This is not mismanagement. This is exploitation.

The most outrageous part is not just the conduct of those running this building. It is the silence and failure of the city that allowed this to happen. Miami Beach’s local officials have known for years how these games work. They know certain properties get selective code enforcement. They know who receives special treatment with permits and inspections. They know when court-appointed agents abuse their authority, hide behind court orders, and strip residents of their homes one lien at a time. They know, and they do nothing. Why? Because too many of them are controlled by the same consultants and insiders who thrive off this system.

The city has building officials, inspectors, and lawyers on staff who could have flagged this behavior years ago. But instead, they looked the other way while residents like Raven were left to fend for themselves.
