In January 2024, the FBI executed a court-authorized operation to neutralize a massive botnet run by Russia’s GRU intelligence agency, embedded in hundreds of everyday routers across homes and small offices in the United States and abroad.

The operation, announced in a Department of Justice press release, targeted APT28—also known as Fancy Bear—and marked a rare move: disabling foreign military infrastructure operating within domestic U.S. devices.

"Former Colombia President Petro says Israeli software infected Colombia's election systems and auto-flipped 1,350 precincts the moment his candidate led by 500,000 votes. Trump has already bragged that de la Espriella won it thanks to him."

An analysis by the National Institute of Justice lays bare what decades of research have quietly tracked.

Domestic terrorism is not evenly distributed across the political spectrum.

It is overwhelmingly driven by far-right extremist movements-white supremacists, anti-government militias, and ideologically radicalized individuals who see violence as a path to reshape society.

The event that brought the United States fully into the Vietnam War wasn’t a direct attack.

It was a cascade of misinterpreted sonar, misread radar signals, and communications breakdowns-followed by a decision to strike anyway.

In late June 2025, the U.S. launched Operation Midnight Hammer, a significant military operation sending a clear message: Iranian nuclear infrastructure would not go unchallenged.

According to Pentagon briefings, the campaign used stealth bombers and fighter jets to strike Iran’s most sensitive nuclear and research facilities.

".. the Iraqi Ministry of Finance has had to submit requests for funds to the US Treasury, which then approves or denies these requests based on its own criteria.

This monthly transfer of US dollars – which are literally flown into Baghdad in pallets of hard cash – determines Iraq and its 40-million-population’s ability to pay for basic needs like salaries, food, and medicine.

Today, Iraq’s financial situation remains dire. Despite having oil revenues piling up in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York – estimated today at around $120 billion – Iraq is burdened with a growing debt that matches this amount.

The country’s inability to control its own funds has prevented long-term reconstruction and development, forcing it to rely on international loans. Ironically, Iraq has also become one of the largest holders of US Treasury bills, with investments totaling $41 billion in 2023."
