Month: July 2025

Last year, California scientists sparked outrage with a botched test on an old aircraft carrier, spraying saltwater to create artificial clouds and block sunlight.

The tiny Alameda trial lasted just 20 minutes before furious city officials yanked the plug, slamming the team for zero advance notice.

The team responsible were involved with the Marine Cloud Brightening Program based in the University of Washington.

Now documents exposed by Politico, through an open records request to the University of Washington, reveal they plotted a far bigger gamble: a multimillion-dollar ocean experiment covering an area larger than Puerto Rico, aimed at cooling the planet.

This shadowy push, backed by crypto tycoons and elite philanthropists, as well as the advocacy group SilverLining and the scientific nonprofit SRI International, shine a spotlight on how the powerful tinker with our skies without asking everyday Americans.

In the over 400 obtained documents, emails and funding pleas show researchers eyed massive tests off North America, Chile, or Africa, detectable from space and risking unpredictable weather shifts.

University of Washington leaders downplayed it as mere tech checks.

Solar geoengineering, like saltwater sprays or stratospheric particles, promises quick cooling but carries huge dangers, from wrecked farms and wildlife to deadly “termination shock” if stopped abruptly. Recent studies warn it could spike malaria in poor nations or trigger droughts and hurricanes.

Politicians are raging too, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tied geoengineering to Texas floods, and introduced a bill into Congress seeking to be ban the technology. Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis outlawed weather-altering chemicals last month.

Over 575 scientists have demanded a global halt, arguing fair governance is impossible. In the UK, 2025 revelations of hidden tests amplified calls for oversight, raising concerns on unchecked experiments and their threats to sovereignty.

Alameda’s fiasco echoes canceled SCoPEx trials in Sweden, where locals and Indigenous groups felt sidelined by Harvard elites. The project has since been terminated.

Recent outdoor tests, like Arctic ice-thickening efforts, face similar scrutiny for unintended harms.

Experts insist community buy-in is essential, not optional, to avoid backlash against “playing God” with the climate. Without transparency, these billionaire-funded schemes erode faith in science.

The Marine Cloud Brightening Program courted federal ships and funds from NOAA, but Trump’s reelection and public uproar dashed those hopes. Donors like Chris Larsen claim it’s vital research for desperate times, yet 2025 reports show funding gaps widen as opposition grows.

Ultimately, geoengineering’s allure masks its perils, diverting from proven paths like nuclear and solar energy. Americans deserve a say before elites risk our weather for their “solutions.”

China has officially banned the UK-based platform OnlyFans as of July 2025.

The ban targets the site’s subscription-based model, which primarily features adult content. Authorities have blocked all access, including previous workarounds.

OnlyFans, founded in 2016 and headquartered in London, allows creators to charge subscribers for exclusive material. The platform hosts sexually explicit content alongside non-adult offerings like fitness and cooking videos. It attracts over 300 million monthly visits globally.

Beijing’s action aligns with efforts to regulate the digital space and eliminate “immoral” influences.

Officials described OnlyFans as representing “Western moral decay” and a threat to traditional values. This reflects China’s zero-tolerance policy toward pornography.

OnlyFans was never formally available in mainland China due to the Great Firewall. Users previously accessed it via VPNs and third-party payment systems. A brief period of direct access occurred in late 2024.

The 2025 ban enhances measures to detect and block VPNs targeting the site. It restricts both creators and subscribers in China. This eliminates remaining loopholes for engagement.

Pornography production and consumption are illegal in China, with penalties including fines and short jail terms. Violators face up to CNY 15,000 in fines. The Onlyfans ban enforces these long-standing laws.

China’s Great Firewall blocks thousands of foreign websites, including Facebook, X, and Google. YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit are also inaccessible without circumvention tools.

The Cyberspace Administration of China oversees all internet censorship. Platforms must self-censor using AI and human teams. Domestic apps like WeChat are monitored for inappropriate content.

Video games face strict regulations, with limits on minors’ playtime to three hours. Foreign titles require content approval and are often delayed. Themes conflicting with official narratives are censored.

Imported films undergo heavy editing to remove political or social references. Hollywood movies frequently have scenes cut for compliance. This ensures alignment with China’s policy of “positive energy” content that fosters optimism, patriotism, and socialist values.

Crackdowns extend to portrayals of “sissy men” in media, banned since 2021. Discussions on feminism and LGBTQ+ topics are restricted.

The 2025 enforcement follows 2023-2024 campaigns to “clean up” the internet. Thirteen major platforms were investigated for hosting explicit material with intensified scrutiny on foreign influences.

China’s policies seek to preserve social harmony and cultural cohesion, with the OnlyFans ban being one component of its broader digital control measures.

Are you suffering from abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, bloating and feeling more tired than usual? These could be the signs of a parasitic infection!

Parasitic infections can be dangerous, but also incredibly hard to diagnose:

Parasitic infections can be difficult to diagnose because they often cause nonspecific symptoms that can be attributed to a variety of other illnesses. In addition, many parasites are not easily detected by standard laboratory tests. As a result, diagnosis often relies on a combination of clinical suspicion and specialized testing.

Not only is a parasitic infection difficult to diagnose, it is possible to have an infection and not even present any recognizable symptoms:

There are many different types of parasitic diseases, and the symptoms can vary depending on the type of parasite involved. Some common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss.

However, it is also possible to have an infection without any noticeable symptoms.

The truth is that the medical establishment is all but ignoring the threat of parasites, but this wasn’t always the case.

Before the healthcare bureaucracy’s myopic focus on COVID-19 and other potential pandemics, the Centers for the Disease Control issued a stunning warning about the threat of parasitic diseases here in the United States:

Most people think parasitic diseases occur in poor and developing countries, or are infections they might pick up on a trip to a foreign country. However, parasitic infections also occur in the United States, and in some cases affect millions of people. Often they can go unnoticed, with few symptoms. But many times the infections cause serious illnesses, including seizures, blindness, pregnancy complications, heart failure, and even death. Anyone—regardless of race or economic status—can become infected.

CDC has targeted five neglected parasitic infections (NPIs) in the United States as priorities for public health action based on the numbers of people infected, the severity of the illnesses, or our ability to prevent and treat them. These NPIs include Chagas disease, cysticercosis, toxocariasis, toxoplasmosis, and trichomoniasis.

The threat of parasites is just as high today, as it was just five years ago – the only difference is that our healthcare establishment has all but abandoned doing the necessary work of empowering Americans to take control of their health and preventing dangerous healthcare outcomes before they occur.

Fortunately, freedom-fighting doctors like Dr. Peter McCullough are now speaking up about the threats posed by parasites. In a new post on his widely-read SubStack, Dr. McCullough says:

While each illness has diagnostic strategies followed by care providers, many patients want to take a proactive stance with respect to parasites. The CDC says the burden of parasitic diseases among Americans is high.

Not only is Dr. McCullough sounding the alarm about the threat of parasites, McCullough is also offering Americans the ability to do something about this threat:

President Trump on Monday morning announced he helped broker yet another ceasefire deal.

Cambodia and Thailand have reached a ceasefire and peace after days of fighting over a border dispute.

President Trump has brokered many peace deals since he was sworn in earlier this year.

“Just spoke to the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand and Prime Minister of Cambodia. I am pleased to announce that, after the involvement of President Donald J. Trump, both Countries have reached a CEASEFIRE and PEACE. Congratulations to all! By ending this War, we have saved thousands of lives. I have instructed my Trade Team to restart negotiations on Trade. I have now ended many Wars in just six months — I am proud to be the President of PEACE!” Trump said on Truth Social.

Cambodia and Thailand agreed to halt the fighting late Sunday, however, the clash continued into Monday morning.

More than 35 people were killed and over 200,000 people have fled after four days of conflict, the Associated Press reported.

BREAKING…

The post President Trump Announces Ceasefire Between Cambodia and Thailand appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

In the summer of 2015, Donald Trump entered the race for president. Almost immediately, political opponents began digging for anything they could use to stop him. That same year, the Democratic National Committee experienced a hacking incident, which officials eventually blamed on Russian operatives.

But even before the FBI confirmed the hackers’ identities or motives, a narrative began forming: Russia was working behind the scenes to help Trump win. That story would evolve into one of the most damaging hoaxes in modern political history.

At the center of the storm was a former British spy named Christopher Steele. Hired initially by anti-Trump Republicans and later by the Clinton campaign, Steele worked for a private firm called Fusion GPS. His assignment was simple: find dirt on Trump.

The result was the now-infamous Steele dossier—a 35-page document filled with sensational accusations. Among them were claims that Trump had been groomed by Russian intelligence for years, that Russian operatives held compromising video footage of him, and that he had deep and corrupt financial ties to Russian oligarchs.

Most of the claims in the Steele dossier were never verified. Some were sourced from anonymous third parties. Others were proven false outright. Yet despite its questionable origins and lack of evidence, the dossier became the foundation for an FBI investigation into a sitting presidential candidate.

Even as doubts mounted inside the intelligence community, the FBI used the dossier to justify a secret surveillance warrant against Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

The agency applied under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), relying heavily on Steele’s claims. Internal memos show that FBI officials knew many parts of the dossier were unsupported, but they failed to disclose that to the FISA court.

In fact, the FBI used the Steele dossier as late as 2017—even though agents had already concluded that several claims in it were either unverifiable or false. 

The damage was enormous. Media outlets seized on the dossier’s contents, reporting them as fact. Headlines screamed about treason, kompromat, and secret Kremlin backchannels.

Politicians spoke as if Trump had already been proven guilty. Any voices that questioned the evidence were dismissed as conspiracy theorists or traitors.

But behind closed doors, the truth was much different. As later investigations revealed, the FBI was warned several times about the unreliability of Steele’s sources. One of Steele’s main contacts even told agents that the allegations had been exaggerated or misunderstood. Still, those warnings were ignored. The investigation continued, and public trust suffered.

This was a coordinated effort to interfere in an election—after the votes had already been cast. By feeding a false narrative to the American people and spending taxpayer dollars to support it, federal officials attempted to delegitimize the president before he was even sworn into office.

The Obama administration’s role in this cannot be ignored. Officials at the highest levels were briefed on the dossier. Some helped circulate its contents. Instead of stopping an investigation based on faulty intelligence, they allowed it to grow—knowing full well the information behind it was flawed.

Worse still, nobody has been held accountable. The officials who authorized the surveillance, misled the courts, and spread false claims remain in high-ranking positions, media roles, or private careers untouched by consequences.

Meanwhile, the public is left with deepened divisions, a weakened belief in elections, and a justice system that seems more political than impartial.

The Steele dossier was a government weapon used against a rival. If the United States is going to protect its democratic institutions, it must begin with honesty and accountability. Until federal agencies are forced to answer for their abuse of power, this kind of deception will happen again—and next time, it could be worse.

Chuck Grassley, the very powerful Senate Judiciary Chairman, responded to President Trump’s call to cancel the August recess.

President Trump last Saturday evening called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the August recess to get his judicial nominees confirmed.

Trump called on Thune to work through August to confirm the backlog of judicial nominees.

“Hopefully the very talented John Thune, fresh off our many victories over the past two weeks and, indeed, 6 months, will cancel August recess (and long weekends!), in order to get my incredible nominees confirmed. We need them badly!!! DJT” Trump said last Saturday evening.

On Sunday, Grassley said he is “with” Trump and is willing to work through the August recess to confirm the president’s judicial nominees since the Democrats are stonewalling.

Grassley has pushed a few of Trump’s high-profile nominees through the Senate Judiciary Committee but there is still a backlog of 135 nominees.

If Pres Trump asks us to not take august recess im w him. Democrats hv been slow walking nominations We hv to make up for their wasted time Trump needs his administration in place

— Chuck Grassley (@ChuckGrassley) July 28, 2025

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has not fully committed to canceling the August recess but he is thinking about it since the Democrats are obstructing Trump’s agenda.

Last Monday, Thune told reporters that he’s thinking about canceling the August recess.

“We’re thinking about it. We want to get as many nominees through the pipeline as we can,” Thune said.

“we’re going to be looking at all the options in the next weeks to try and get as many of those across the finish line as we can,” he said.

“This is the first president in history who has never had, at this point in his presidency, a civilian nominee approved either by unanimous consent or voice vote in the Senate,” Thune said last Thursday during an interview on the “Brian Kilmeade Show” on Fox News Radio, Fox reported.

“As we head into the August break we need to get a whole bunch more confirmed, and we intend to do that,” he said.

“Because of the way the Democrats are playing in their Trump Derangement Syndrome, they’re putting up an unprecedented level of obstruction,” Thune added. “I think the only way to beat that is to just grind them down.”

It’s truly amazing what liars and scam artists the mainstream media is.

And how brainwashed at least half of the U.S. populace is.

They are “Stepford Wives” who believe anything the lying, fraudulent, biased, fake news, mainstream media tells them (or refuses to tell them).

What Obama, Hillary and their Deep State cabal did to President Trump is clearly the biggest scandal and scam in the history of America.

It was a decade-long government and media conspiracy, and propaganda orgy, to destroy candidate Trump, and then after his election, a full-blown coup and insurrection to destroy and overthrow the Trump presidency.

And in my opinion, it all adds up to TREASON.

And the penalty for treason is the death penalty. That’s exactly what Obama, Hillary, and their all-star team of communist radicals who carried out this coup should be facing.

So, to make my point, let’s take everything Obama and his communist cabal threw at Trump and reverse the circumstances.

What if the shoe was on the other foot?

What if everything Obama did to Trump was reversed? How would the media react? How would the nation react? How would Democrat leaders and voters react? How would our justice system react?

What if these were all the things President Trump did to Obama, instead of the other way around…

*What if Secretary of State Marco Rubio- with Trump’s approval- extorted over $100 million from Putin allies, the loot donated to the Rubio Foundation (located offshore), in return for giving away a large portion of America’s Uranium stock?

*What if Vice President JD Vance – with Trump’s approval- extorted tens of millions from Ukraine and China in return for favors?

*What if President Trump sent pallets of cash to a country on an unmarked cargo plane- billions of dollars then laundered and sent back to America to fund GOP Senate and House campaigns?

*What if Trump used the IRS as his personal Gestapo- to intimidate and destroy his political opponents? What if Trump sent his IRS goons to destroy all his enemies- Democrat critics, Democrat donors, liberal PACs, the NAACP, black churches, pro-abortion groups, gay rights groups, and Muslim organizations?

And now we come to the really bad stuff…

*What if white Republican President Trump ordered the CIA and NSA to spy on black presidential candidate Barack Obama, in order to steal the 2016 election?

What if after Obama’s shocking upset victory, Trump and his allies framed Obama for “Chinese Collusion.” This was a coup- to overthrow a duly-elected President of the United States.

*What if to accomplish this frame-job, Trump coordinated this coup with British intelligence operatives. White Republican President Trump worked with foreign spy agencies to throw black president Obama out of office, and subvert the will of the American people?

That would play well with minority voters, huh?

*And when all that didn’t stop Obama, what if Trump engineered the rigging and theft of the 2020 election, with help from Trump’s buddy Putin?

*What if Trump partnered with Russia to send Covid to the USA, which led to the introduction of mail-in ballots, ballot drop boxes and ballot harvesting (not to mention a destroyed Obama economy and millions of deaths and illnesses they blamed on Obama).

And then to take advantage of this crisis, Russia created fake mail-in ballots in conspiracy with Trump to steal the election?

*What if once Trump defeated Obama by rigging the election, Trump then weaponized government to frame and destroy out-of-office Obama (so Obama could never run again)?

*What if Trump named a Special Counselor who was a white Republican from a southern state to frame black President Obama on false charges and raid his home? What if Obama faced life in prison?

*What if Trump coordinated four indictments against Obama by white Republican prosecutors in 100% red states- Oklahoma, Florida, Texas and South Carolina?

*What if Trump coordinated a civil trial in an overwhelmingly white Republican state and rigged the trial to find Obama guilty of fraudulent business practices?

*What if a man came out of the woodwork to claim Obama raped him 30+ years ago in a department store dressing room, and a 100% white jury in a 100% red state awarded the rape victim $80 million of Obama’s money?

*What if the Trump administration banned, censored and silenced Democrat opponents and critics of Trump in a manner straight from the playbook of the KGB?

*What if Trump’s favorite chef drowned outside Maralago in shallow water? And an RNC staffer who uncovered emails detailing crimes committed by Trump’s allies, suddenly wound up murdered on the streets of DC?

*What if there were two terrible assassination attempts on Obama’s life- both enabled by the massive failure of the Secret Service (under the control of President Trump)?

Would the media say nothing and refuse to cover any of these scandals?

Would the nation respond with…crickets?

Or would we experience outrage, unrest, anarchy, violence, riots, looting, burning, and calls for Trump’s impeachment and indictment?

I believe the country would be burning to the ground, right now.

I believe Trump would be run out of the White House by an angry mob ready to lynch him for being a “racist” and traitor.

I believe Trump would be in federal custody, awaiting trial at Gitmo, facing treason charges.

And soon enough, Trump would be convicted, and sentenced to death for treasonous actions.

But the thing is, Trump didn’t do any of that to Obama.

Obama did all of that to Trump.

And since the media refuses to cover the story, or claims it’s unimportant, at least half the nation doesn’t notice, doesn’t care, lives in denial, or actually cheers the crimes committed versus Trump.

Yes, there are two very different Americas.

In the final months of President Obama’s second term, his administration quietly set the stage for one of the most divisive investigations in American history. While officials knew there was no evidence that Russia had altered vote counts in the 2016 election, they still chose to push a story that implied Donald Trump had won because of Russian interference.

That decision cost taxpayers millions and damaged the credibility of the nation’s democratic process.

In August 2016, the Department of Homeland Security told the National Security Council that there was “no indication of a Russian threat to directly manipulate the actual vote count through cyber means.”

But despite that conclusion, just weeks later, American intelligence agencies publicly claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered a cyber influence campaign to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton. This narrative contradicted what cybersecurity officials had already determined.

That false narrative sparked the Mueller investigation, a probe that lasted two years and cost taxpayers nearly $32 million. The investigation relied heavily on the Steele dossier—a document filled with unverified and often debunked claims.

The dossier was compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British spy, who had been paid by political opponents of Trump, including both Republicans and Democrats. Some of the claims were based on rumors and third-hand sources, and the FBI knew early on that much of the document lacked credibility.

Internal documents later revealed that FBI officials were aware that the Steele dossier contained faulty information. Still, they used it to obtain surveillance warrants and justify continued investigations.

In December 2016, intelligence agencies prepared reports for President Obama that included information from the dossier, despite acknowledging privately that much of it was unverified. In doing so, they knowingly misled both the president and the public.

This campaign of deception had lasting effects. Even after Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report in 2019 found no evidence of criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, the damage was done.

A 2020 Pew Research Center poll found that 62% of Americans still believed Russia had “rigged” the election. That belief undermined public faith in the electoral system and made it difficult for millions of Americans to accept the results of the election.

The media played a major role in spreading this narrative. Many major outlets pushed the Russia collusion story with little skepticism.

When the claims turned out to be false, they offered few corrections. Instead of admitting fault, they quietly moved on—leaving the public with lingering doubts and deepening political divisions.

It’s important to remember that no private citizen could get away with what these officials did. If someone spent $32 million of taxpayer money on a project built on false information, they would likely face criminal charges.

If an average person lied to the FBI or misused federal resources to influence an election, they could go to prison. Yet none of the officials involved in this massive deception have been held accountable.

The Russia collusion narrative was a coordinated effort that exploited public trust and undermined democratic institutions. Despite clear evidence that key players knew the story was built on shaky ground, Obama pushed it forward anyway, leaving the nation divided and disillusioned. Without accountability, this pattern of abuse is destined to repeat.

Dramatic video footage surfacing online appears to show approximately 10 federal law enforcement officers, reportedly including Homeland Security Investigations agents and air marshals, storming the cockpit of Delta Air Lines Flight 2809 moments after the Boeing 757–300 landed at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).

The flight had arrived from Minneapolis, completing a delayed second landing approach due to heavy fog, touching down around 9:35 p.m. local time on Saturday evening.

The footage — shared on the aviation blog View from the Wing — shows agents entering the cockpit, handcuffing a co‑pilot, then escorting him down the aisle and removing him from the aircraft.

While no confirmation has come from the Department of Homeland Security or Delta Air Lines, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin—citing a senior federal source—reported the arrest was connected to alleged possession or distribution of child sexual abuse material.

More from the San Francisco Chronicle:

Seated in first class, Christianson said she counted at least 10 law enforcement officers, including agents from Homeland Security Investigations and people identifying as air marshals.

The officers reportedly “stormed the cockpit, cuffed the co-pilot, arrested him, walked him down the aisle, and ushered him off the plane through the cabin doors located between first and coach.”

A second team of agents returned shortly after to retrieve the co-pilot’s personal belongings.

Christianson described the event as “shocking and unnerving,” noting that passengers received no information from the crew about what had occurred.

“It was rage-inducing to see someone being disappeared right in front of me,” she added.

[…]

The remaining pilot appeared unaware of the arrest, telling passengers he had “no idea what just happened.” The reason for the arrest has not been disclosed.

In one of the most aggressive and successful anti-child exploitation crackdowns in U.S. history, President Trump’s Justice Department has revealed the results of Operation Grayskull, a sweeping, international strike that dismantled four high-traffic dark web platforms trafficking violent child sexual abuse materials, exposing a digital cesspool that included over 120,000 registered users and millions of illicit files.

To date, 18 individuals have been convicted in federal court, receiving a combined 300+ years in prison.

The Justice Department detailed how Thomas Peter Katsampes, 52, of Minnesota, became a staff member on one of these despicable sites, personally distributing CSAM, guiding others on how to do so, and helping manage operations. He was sentenced to over 20 years in prison, lifetime supervision, and forced to pay restitution to his victims.

But he was only one of many.

Among the 18 convicted predators:

• William Michael Spearman of Alabama was sentenced to life in prison for his role in a child exploitation enterprise.
• Joseph Addison Martin of Washington got 42 years.
• Keith David McIntosh of Michigan was sentenced to a staggering 55 years, with a prior conviction on record.
• Selwyn David Rosenstein of Florida was handed 28 years and a six-figure restitution order for his crimes.

Each of these individuals was found guilty of actively operating or contributing to some of the darkest, most vile content imaginable, and doing so in a highly coordinated and secretive online network.

“Today’s announcement sends a clear warning to those who exploit and abuse children: you will not find safe haven, even on the dark web,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.

“These offenders thought that they could act without consequences, but they were wrong.  Thanks to the relentless determination of our prosecutors and law enforcement partners we have exposed these perpetrators for who they are, eliminated their websites and brought justice to countless victims.”

“This operation represents one of the most significant strikes ever made against online child exploitation networks,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “We’ve not only dismantled dangerous platforms on the dark web, but we’ve also brought key perpetrators to justice and delivered a powerful message: you cannot hide behind anonymity to harm children.”

“Yesterday’s sentencing reaffirms our steadfast commitment to protecting our children, the most vulnerable among us, from those who exploit and harm them through the despicable trade in child sexual abuse material,” said U.S. Attorney Hayden P. O’Byrne for the Southern District of Florida.

“Thomas Peter Katsampes and his co-conspirators ran some of the darkweb’s most heinous networks, enabling horrific crimes against innocent victims, but Operation Grayskull has shut these sites down and delivered justice. We applaud the FBI and our international partners for their tireless work, and let this be a clear warning: we will relentlessly pursue and prosecute anyone engaged in such atrocities, no matter how they attempt to cover their tracks.”

The operation also led to arrests in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Estonia, Belgium, and South Africa.
