FBI, DOJ, Still Litigating to Prevent Release of Known Footage of Oklahoma City Bombing 30 Years Later

Gateway Pundit

Utah Attorney Jesse Trentadue has spent 30 years litigating against the federal government, trying to uncover documents related to his brother’s likely murder by federal authorities on August 21, 1995.

Trentadue believes federal agents believed his brother was a federal agent who was involved in the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995, and tortured him to death for information, wrongly believing he was “John Doe #2.” Kenneth Trentadue was a match for the description of the suspect, the same height, weight, build, and even the same dragon tattoo on his left forearm. Trentadue says it’s his belief that the motive behind his brother’s murder was that “The FBI was desperate to eliminate anyone who might link the Bureau to a failed sting operation that resulted in the Oklahoma City Bombing.”

A recent book by investigative journalist Margaret Roberts, “Blowback,” provides a lot of corroboration to the document effort that Trentadue has been engaged in for a generation. Trentadue claims he has litigated the release of 2 million pages of documents. He is currently suing to release an additional 67,000 pages linking the FBI’s undercover operatives to the failed sting operation that, he says, led to the Oklahoma City bombing.

He has not found the names of his brother’s killers, but he has committed himself to uncovering the illegal operations the government has used for over 30 years to entrap and oppress Americans, a program known as “PATCON.”

Exclusively with the Gateway Pundit, Trentadue has also started sharing key files that dramatically challenge the official and mainstream view as to the bombing of the Murrah federal building in April 1995.

Trentadue points out that the Department of Justice spent over $80 million prosecuting Timothy McVeigh for the bombing, but notably did not admit any of the known video evidence of the bombing.

The reason, Trentadue claims, is that multiple independent video evidence reveals the presence of a second bomber exiting the bomb truck prior to the explosion.

Roberts claims in her book, as well, that there may have been a third conspirator with the bombers on-site, and that likely accounts for the mystery of the unidentified severed leg found among the explosion, which has never been positively identified. The idea that there was a lone-wolf attack is wrong, she claims, and instead, there was a team involved in the planning and execution of the bombing.

For proof of this explosive claim, Trentadue provides evidence he has uncovered from the FBI’s own files indicating that they seized video surveillance footage of the Oklahoma City bombing.

The locations of at least one camera that captured the bombing were the 24-story Regency Tower Apartments or “RTA.” The Regency had a direct view to the bombing.

650,000 fighting-age men have fled Ukraine

The authorities in Kiev have struggled to deal with widespread draft evasion throughout the conflict with Russia

At least 650,000 Ukrainian men of fighting age have fled the country since the conflict with Russia escalated in 2022, The Telegraph reported on Thursday. Others are hiding inside Ukraine or bribing officials to avoid being sent to the front, as the military faces its worst manpower crisis yet, the newspaper wrote.

According to the report, draft evasion in Ukraine is “tipping into crisis” amid Russian advances in the Donetsk region. Earlier this week, DeepState, a monitoring group with ties to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, described the situation as “chaotic” with Russian troops “accumulating forces for further advancement.”

Kiev’s general mobilization, which mandates all able-bodied men aged 25 to 60 to serve in the armed forces, has failed to make up for ongoing battlefield losses and has led Ukrainian commanders to voice concerns over persistent manpower shortages.

Desertions are rising sharply, Ukrainian MP Anna Skorokhod said last week, adding that almost 400,000 Ukrainian servicemen have abandoned their units without authorization, and many – including volunteers – have no plans to return due to abysmal treatment from superiors.

Ukraine is “visibly losing the war,” The Telegraph wrote, citing military analyst Konrad Muzyka, who pointed to infantry shortages and the declining effectiveness of its drone operations.

Many Ukrainians are avoiding conscription out of fear, the newspaper added. As troop numbers dwindle, even support personnel such as mechanics and radar operators are being reassigned to infantry roles, according to one draft evader in hiding, who said every new recruit is sent directly to the front line.

Widespread videos on social media show Ukrainian draft officers employing forceful and sometimes violent tactics – chasing men, dragging them into unmarked vans, and assaulting both those targeted and nearby civilians. This has led to growing public outrage over what is now widely known as “busification.”

In response, many potential recruits have attempted to escape the country by crossing treacherous terrain or rivers, often with fatal consequences. Ukrainian border guards have intercepted thousands of such attempts and, in some cases, have used firearms against fleeing individuals.

AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over

A drone photo shows staff members of State Grid Bortala Electric Power Supply Company patrolling near Sayram Lake scenic area to ensure power supply in Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, July 17, 2025. · Fortune · Yin Tianjie/Xinhua via Getty ImagesEva Roytburg

“Everywhere we went, people treated energy availability as a given,” Rui Ma wrote on X after returning from a recent tour of China’s AI hubs.

For American AI researchers, that’s almost unimaginable. In the U.S., surging AI demand is colliding with a fragile power grid, the kind of extreme bottleneck that Goldman Sachs warns could severely choke the industry’s growth.

In China, Ma continued, it’s considered a “solved problem.”

Ma, a renowned expert in Chinese technology and founder of the media company Tech Buzz China, took her team on the road to get a firsthand look at the country’s AI advancements. She told Fortune that while she isn’t an energy expert, she attended enough meetings and talked to enough insiders to come away with a conclusion that should send chills down the spine of Silicon Valley: in China, building enough power for data centers is no longer up for debate.

“This is a stark contrast to the U.S., where AI growth is increasingly tied to debates over data center power consumption and grid limitations,” she wrote on X.

The stakes are difficult to overstate. Data center building is the foundation of AI advancement, and spending on new centers now displaces consumer spending in terms of impact to U.S. GDP—that’s concerning since consumer spending is generally two-thirds of the pie. McKinsey projects that between 2025 and 2030, companies worldwide will need to invest $6.7 trillion into new data center capacity to keep up with AI’s strain.

In a recent research note, Stifel Nicolaus warned of a looming correction to the S&P 500, since it forecasts this data-center capex boom to be a one-off build-out of infrastructure, while consumer spending is clearly on the wane.

However, the clear limiting factor to the U.S.’s data center infrastructure development, according to a Deloitte industry survey, is stress on the power grid. Cities’ power grids are so weak that some companies are just building their own power plants rather than relying on existing grids. The public is growing increasingly frustrated over increasing energy bills – in Ohio, the electricity bill for a typical household has increased at least $15 this summer from the data centers – while energy companies prepare for a sea-change of surging demand.

Goldman Sachs frames the crisis simply: “AI’s insatiable power demand is outpacing the grid’s decade-long development cycles, creating a critical bottleneck.”

Meanwhile, David Fishman, a Chinese electricity expert who has spent years tracking their energy development, told Fortune that in China, electricity isn’t even a question. On average, China adds more electricity demand than the entire annual consumption of Germany, every single year. Whole rural provinces are blanketed in rooftop solar, with one province matching the entirety of India’s electricity supply.

“U.S. policymakers should be hoping China stays a competitor and not an aggressor,” Fishman said. “Because right now they can’t compete effectively on the energy infrastructure front.”

China has an oversupply of electricty

China’s quiet electricity dominance, Fishman explained, is the result of decades of deliberate overbuilding and investment in every layer of the power sector, from generation to transmission to next-generation nuclear.

The country’s reserve margin has never dipped below 80%–100% nationwide, meaning it has consistently maintained at least twice the capacity it needs, Fishman said. They have so much available space that instead of seeing AI data centers as a threat to grid stability, China treats them as a convenient way to “soak up oversupply,” he added.

That level of cushion is unthinkable in the United States, where regional grids typically operate with a 15% reserve margin and sometimes less, particularly during extreme weather, Fishman said. In places like California or Texas, officials often issue warnings about red-flag conditions when demand is projected to strain the system. This leaves little room to absorb the rapid load increases AI infrastructure requires, Fishman ntoed.

The gap in readiness is stark: while the U.S. is already experiencing political and economic fights over whether the grid can keep up, China is operating from a position of abundance.

Even if AI demand in China grows so quickly renewable projects can’t keep pace, Fishman said, the country can tap idle coal plants to bridge the gap while building more sustainable sources. “It’s not preferable,” he admitted, “but it’s doable.”

By contrast, the U.S. would have to scramble to bring on new generation capacity, often facing years-long permitting delays, local opposition, and fragmented market rules, he said.

Structural governance differences

Underpinning the hardware advantage is a difference in governance. In China, energy planning is coordinated by long-term, technocratic policy that defines the market’s rules before investments are made, Fishman said. This model ensures infrastructure buildout happens in anticipation of demand, not in reaction to it.

“They’re set up to hit grand slams,” Fishman noted. “The U.S., at best, can get on base.”

In the U.S., large-scale infrastructure projects depend heavily on private investment, but most investors expect a return within three to five years: far too short for power projects that can take a decade to build and pay off.

“Capital is really biased toward shorter-term returns,” he said, noting Silicon Valley has funneled billions into “the nth iteration of software-as-a-service” while energy projects fight for funding.

In China, by contrast, the state directs money toward strategic sectors in advance of demand, accepting not every project will succeed but ensuring the capacity is in place when it’s needed. Without public financing to de-risk long-term bets, he argued, the U.S. political and economic system is simply not set up to build the grid of the future.

Cultural attitudes reinforce this approach. In China, renewables are framed as a cornerstone of the economy because they make sense economically and strategically, not because they carry moral weight. Coal use isn’t cast as a sign of villainy, as it would be among some circles in the U.S. –  it’s simply seen as outdated. This pragmatic framing, Fishman argued, allows policymakers to focus on efficiency and results rather than political battles.

For Fishman, the takeaway is blunt. Without a dramatic shift in how the U.S. builds and funds its energy infrastructure, China’s lead will only widen.

“The gap in capability is only going to continue to become more obvious — and grow in the coming years,” he said.

With Failed Launch of ChatGPT 5, Some Ask What if AI Doesn’t Get Any Better?

 

Comments by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

Sam Altman and OpenAI finally released their long anticipated version 5.0 last week of ChatGPT. So many users complained that they had to quickly restore previous 4.0 versions (Source.)

Almost everyone now in the financial sectors is referring to the AI bubble, either as something that is going to be no big deal, or something worse.

But every once in a while someone says the quiet part out loud: “What if this is as good as its going to get for ‘generative AI?’”

Oh no, that just simply could not be true, given how much money has been invested in it for claims for what it allegedly will do in the future.

That’s like saying “high cholesterol does not lead to heart disease.”

Oh no, that couldn’t be true because pharmaceutical companies made $billions telling people it was true and then selling them drugs to make it true.

There are just too many “truths” in our society that cannot be true, as it would be too costly and too deadly (like arresting mass murderers).

Generative AI is like that a lot. But the problem is you can only fake it for so long before everyone else figures it out too.

The latest one to say the quiet part out loud on AI: Cal Newport of the New Yorker.

What If A.I. Doesn’t Get Much Better Than This?

GPT-5, a new release from OpenAI, is the latest product to suggest that progress on large language models has stalled.

Excerpts:

Much of the euphoria and dread swirling around today’s artificial-intelligence technologies can be traced back to January, 2020, when a team of researchers at OpenAI published a thirty-page report titled “Scaling Laws for Neural Language Models.”

The team was led by the A.I. researcher Jared Kaplan, and included Dario Amodei, who is now the C.E.O. of Anthropic. They investigated a fairly nerdy question: What happens to the performance of language models when you increase their size and the intensity of their training?

Back then, many machine-learning experts thought that, after they had reached a certain size, language models would effectively start memorizing the answers to their training questions, which would make them less useful once deployed.

But the OpenAI paper argued that these models would only get better as they grew, and indeed that such improvements might follow a power law…

A few months after the paper, OpenAI seemed to validate the scaling law by releasing GPT-3, which was ten times larger—and leaps and bounds better—than its predecessor, GPT-2.

Suddenly, the theoretical idea of artificial general intelligence, which performs as well as or better than humans on a wide variety of tasks, seemed tantalizingly close. If the scaling law held, A.I. companies might achieve A.G.I. by pouring more money and computing power into language models.

Within a year, Sam Altman, the chief executive at OpenAI, published a blog post titled “Moore’s Law for Everything,” which argued that A.I. will take over “more and more of the work that people now do” and create unimaginable wealth for the owners of capital. “This technological revolution is unstoppable,” he wrote.

“The world will change so rapidly and drastically that an equally drastic change in policy will be needed to distribute this wealth and enable more people to pursue the life they want.”

It’s hard to overstate how completely the A.I. community came to believe that it would inevitably scale its way to A.G.I. In 2022, Gary Marcus, an A.I. entrepreneur and an emeritus professor of psychology and neural science at N.Y.U., pushed back on Kaplan’s paper, noting that “the so-called scaling laws aren’t universal laws like gravity but rather mere observations that might not hold forever.”

The negative response was fierce and swift.

“No other essay I have ever written has been ridiculed by as many people, or as many famous people, from Sam Altman and Greg Brockton to Yann LeCun and Elon Musk,”

Marcus later reflected.

Over the following year, venture-capital spending on A.I. jumped by eighty per cent.

After that, however, progress seemed to slow. OpenAI did not unveil a new blockbuster model for more than two years, instead focussing on specialized releases that became hard for the general public to follow.

Some voices within the industry began to wonder if the A.I. scaling law was starting to falter.

A contemporaneous TechCrunch article summarized the general mood:

“Everyone now seems to be admitting you can’t just use more compute and more data while pretraining large language models and expect them to turn into some sort of all-knowing digital god.”

But such observations were largely drowned out by the headline-generating rhetoric of other A.I. leaders. “A.I. is starting to get better than humans at almost all intellectual tasks,” Amodei recently told Anderson Cooper.

In an interview with Axios, he predicted that half of entry-level white-collar jobs might be “wiped out” in the next one to five years. This summer, both Altman and Mark Zuckerberg, of Meta, claimed that their companies were close to developing superintelligence.

Then, last week, OpenAI finally released GPT-5, which many had hoped would usher in the next significant leap in A.I. capabilities. Early reviewers found some features to like.

Within hours, users began expressing disappointment with the new model on the r/ChatGPT subreddit. One post called it the “biggest piece of garbage even as a paid user.”

In an Ask Me Anything (A.M.A.) session, Altman and other OpenAI engineers found themselves on the defensive, addressing complaints. Marcus summarized the release as “overdue, overhyped and underwhelming.”

In the aftermath of GPT-5’s launch, it has become more difficult to take bombastic predictions about A.I. at face value, and the views of critics like Marcus seem increasingly moderate.

Such voices argue that this technology is important, but not poised to drastically transform our lives. They challenge us to consider a different vision for the near-future—one in which A.I. might not get much better than this.

I recently asked Marcus and two other skeptics to predict the impact of generative A.I. on the economy in the coming years.

“This is a fifty-billion-dollar market, not a trillion-dollar market,”

Ed Zitron, a technology analyst who hosts the “Better Offline” podcast, told me. Marcus agreed:

“A fifty-billion-dollar market, maybe a hundred.”

The linguistics professor Emily Bender, who co-authored a well-known critique of early language models, told me that “the impacts will depend on how many in the management class fall for the hype from the people selling this tech, and retool their workplaces around it.” She added,

“The more this happens, the worse off everyone will be.”

The Dark Ages and Constantinople’s Effort to Restore the Western Roman Empire

The Last Great Roman General

Epic History (2023)

Film Review

I found this documentary really intriguing. In US schools and universities, we are taught the “barbarians” caused the West to enter a dark age after the fall of the Rome. According to Western academics, there’s nothing worthwhile to study prior to Charlemagne and the rise of the Holy Roman Empire in 800 AD.

As I learned from this film, the depopulation and loss of scientific, literary and artistic brilliance has less to do with the rise of the Ostrogothic Kingdom of Italy after 476 AD than with the continuous wars between the Roman empire (now ruled from Constantinople) to restore Roman control over Italy.

The truth is that Ostrogoth rulers, who consciously modeled their rule after their Roman rivals in Constantinople, made a concerted effort to continue their support for science, literature and art.

This film begins with the rise to power (in Constantinople) of the emperor Justinian in 527 AD (50 years after the fall of Rome) and his chief general Belisarius. The latter first came to prominence in 532 AD when he crushed a civil war in Constantinople that was trying to remove Justinian a emperor.

At the time the eastern Roman empire, which had 30 million people. Its territory Included the Egyptian bread basket, Palestine, the Balkans, and the Arabian desert. With strong alliances with both the Ostrogoths and the Vandals (who ruled North Africa), Constantinople’s primary enemy was the Sassanid (Persian) on its northwest border. .

After signing a perpetual peace with treat the Persians in 532 AD, Justin launched an aggressive war first in North Africa and then on the Italian peninsula. His goal waa to return these territories to Roman control.

The documentary examines all Belisarius’s battles in lengthy detail. What I found most significant is that while retaining the basic Roman legion structure initiated by Julius Caesar, Roman armies now mainly relied on cavalry to charge the enemy, as well as mounted archers using a composite bow (adopted from the Huns). In addition, both the Romans and the Ostrogoths employed advanced siege towers to besiege cities.

Belisarius, who employed a number of Hun and Ostrogoth mercenaries, quickly retook the Vandal kingdom in North Africa, followed by Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily. Over a period of five years, he gradually conquered the entire the Italian peninsula. Southern Italians, fed up with Ostrogoth rule, welcomed him.

After conquering Naples, his troops experienced no resistance in Rome (population 100,000 compared to 500,000 in its heyday) because the Ostrogoth troops, mistakenly believing they were outnumbered, had abandoned the city. Political intrigue among Justinian’s generals resulted in the Ostrogoth sacking of Milan, Italy’s largest city, which they burned to the ground. As the war resulted in two years of lost harvests, this disaster was compounded by famine.

Concerned by Belisarius’s successes in Italy and North Africa, the Persians attacked Antioch and other Roman strongholds, forcing Justinian to pay 10,000 pounds of gold in tribute over the next ten years.

Gothic War 535-554

Due to a combination famine, plague and Justinian’s refusal to adequately support Belasarius’s legions, the Ostrogoths retook Italy and the Berbers North African in 549.

In 552, a second Roman general Narses retook Italy, which Rome held until 568, when it was conquered by the Lombards.

 

Dutch Lawyer Blindfolded and Taken to High-Security Prison for Exposing the Covid Vaccine Holocaust

By John C. A. Manley

In the Netherlands (where I now live), on June 11 at 5:00 a.m., the Dienst Speciale Interventies (Special Intervention Service) invaded the home of lawyer Arno van Kessel. This elite counterterrorism unit combines personnel from the Dutch National Police Corps, the Dutch military police and the Dutch Armed Forces.

Rather than stopping terrorism, however, this unit was the one terrorizing the Kessel family, including his wife and three children, who were held at gunpoint. Kessel was then blindfolded and taken to a high-security penal institution in Vught, Netherlands.

According to the Dutch newspaper, De Andere Krant, Kessel is being charged with having “violent intentions.” But the Public Prosecution Service has not provided any evidence for this.

Instead, the true reason for his arrest seems obvious: He and his partner, Peter Stussen, have filed a court case against Mark Rutt (former Dutch prime minister), Hugo de Jonge (former Minister of Health, Welfare ande Sports), Agnes Kant (managing director of the Netherlands Pharmacovigilance Centre Lareb), Albert Bourla (CEO Pfizer) and Bill Gates (computer geek turned pandemic specialist). Kessel and Stussen have compiled over a hundred pages of charges, demonstrating that, rather than life-saving, the shots are injurious and deadly (and that the harm they caused was known to the defendants).

Unique to Kessel’s filing is the citing of Bill Gates himself as one of the defendants. Other international cases defending those injured by the vaccine target only the pharmaceutical companies and politicians. Lawyer Meike Terhorst told De Andere Krant that:

[English translation]…as far as I know, Gates is not being prosecuted anywhere in the world. Except in the Netherlands. He won’t accept that, and don’t underestimate his influence. By arresting Van Kessel now, his case will be discredited, increasing the likelihood of its failure.

Kessel has been at the forefront of the Dutch resistance to the COVID deception for the last five years. He explained to De Andere Krant that he first woke up to the COVID-19 hoax in May 2020, after he reviewed the Dutch government’s extensive Corona Emergency Act:

[English translation]…I know how long officials take to write a law. My first question… was: When did those officials start writing this corona emergency law… The [Bar Association] professor was honest and said: The first quarter of 2019. That’s when I suddenly woke up. COVI9-19 wasn’t recognized until 20 February 2020. Yet, in the first quarter of 2019, they started to write the emergency law for it. I smell a rat, as they say in America. It was the eye-opener for me. I woke up from the world I lived in.

Rather than going back to sleep, Kessel dedicated himself to protecting not only Dutch citizens but the people of the world from this medical coup that has injured and killed millions of people through lockdowns and vaccine mandates.

You can donate to a fundraiser, launched by Arno van Kessel’s children, to help cover household expenses in their father’s absence, as well as pay for his legal defence at GoFundMe.

Bill Gates’ COVID Self-Replicating mRNA ‘Vaccines’ Cause ‘Severe Blood Abnormalities’ in 93% of Recipients

By Frank Bergman

Shocking new clinical trial data has revealed that the new Bill Gates-funded self-amplifying “replicon” Covid mRNA “vaccines” cause severe blood abnormalities in almost all recipients.

As Slay News has previously reported, the ARCT-154 “vaccine” is marketed as Kostaive.

Kostaive is a self-replicating mRNA (saRNA) injection developed by Arcturus Therapeutics, a Bill Gates-funded company specializing in mRNA-based pharmaceuticals.

One of Arcturus Therapeutics’ senior advisors, former CDC and FDA official Dr. Peter A. Patriarca, also advises the Gates Foundation.

The “self-amplifying” or “replicon” mRNA shots contain the equipment needed to make more of itself once it enters cells.

The injections have been dubbed “replicon” vaccines because they are able to replicate inside the human body to produce more mRNA over time.

The new technology has provoked a worldwide backlash from experts and concerned citizens.

Yet, despite pushback, experiments for replicon injections have been advancing in third-world nations.

In newly published study has just revealed alarming data from a Phase 1 trial of the replicon “vaccines” conducted in Uganda.

The large team of researchers behind the study was led by Dr. Jonathan Kitonsa, an internationally recognized medical doctor and research scientist currently working with the MRC/UVRI & LSHTM Uganda Research Unit.

The findings of the peer-reviewed study were published in the MDPI medical journal.

During the clinical trials, the researchers tested a Covid replicon samRNA injection encoding the spike protein in 42 healthy adults.

The findings of the study were analyzed by renowned McCullough Foundation epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher, MPH.

According to Hulscher, the “findings were deeply concerning.”

A total of 39 Grade 3 or higher laboratory abnormality adverse events occurred after the second dose of the replicon injection.

This is equivalent to a staggering 93% of the trial’s participants.

Grade 3 events are defined by regulatory agencies as “severe or medically significant.”

They often require clinical intervention.

The most common abnormalities were:

Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count, internal bleeding risk)Lymphopenia (suppressed adaptive immune response)Neutropenia (lowered neutrophils, increasing infection risk)

In addition, 85.4% of participants experienced systemic adverse events such as muscle pain, joint pain, vomiting, and fever.

Laboratory abnormalities intensified after the second dose, suggesting cumulative toxicity or immune priming.

Concerningly, these adverse events occurred in healthy adults.

Despite these findings, the authors described the vaccine as “well tolerated.”

Yet, this characterization sharply contradicts their own data.

According to a November 2024 analysis by Hulscher, Arcturus Therapeutics is one of at least nine vaccine developers working on self-amplifying mRNA products.

So far, none of the clinical trials for the product have “addressed the major concern of product shedding,” Hulscher said.

It comes as globalists continue to push for U.S. regulators to roll out the replicon injections for use on the American people.

The U.S. has yet to approve a self-amplifying Covid mRNA “vaccine.”

However, last November, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the green light for Arcturus Therapeutics to launch clinical trials for a replicon mRNA vaccine targeting the H5N1 virus, commonly known as “bird flu.”

As Slay News reported at the time, the trials are funded by the U.S. government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

“The United States must REJECT this dangerous technology,” Hulscher said.

Renowned American cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough agrees with Hulscher.

“Vaccinologists have made a critical error in the design of genetic vaccines,” McCullough said.

“Injection of the genetic code for any foreign protein, including parts of viruses, causes the body to respond with an immune attack against its own cells.”

“This leads to intense vaccine injury syndromes all through the human body,” he said.

McCullough added:

“Giving the vaccines their own ‘life’ with the ability to reproduce themselves is inhumane, reckless, and from the outset, should be flagged as dangerous and potentially lethal to the recipient.”

Skripal Poisoning Among More Successful British MI6 Deception Operations

[Source: dailymail.co.uk]

Jeremy Kuzmarov

On March 4, 2018, Sergei Skripal, a 66-year-old former Russian intelligence officer turned British defector was allegedly poisoned with Novichok nerve agent in Salisbury, England, along with his 33-year-old daughter Yulia.

The two were admitted to a hospital after they were allegedly found unconscious on a public bench in the center of Salisbury by the chief nursing officer for the British army and her daughter.

Within three to four weeks, Yulia and Sergei were said to have regained consciousness and the ability to speak and were taken to a secure location.

[…]

On September 5, 2018, British authorities identified two Russian nationals, using the names Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, as suspected of the Skripals’ poisoning, and alleged that they were active officers in Russian military intelligence.

Bellingcat, an intelligence-connected research agency, subsequently identified Ruslan Boshirov as being the highly decorated GRU (Russian Federation Intelligence Services) Colonel Anatoliy Chepiga, that Alexander Petrov was Alexander Mishkin, also of the GRU, and that a third GRU officer present in the UK at the time was identified as Denis Vyacheslavovich Sergeev.

After the Skripals’ poisoning, then-UK Prime Minister Theresa May issued a statement denouncing Russia’s role and ordered the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats from the UK while freezing Russian state assets that could potentially be used to threaten UK citizens.

May also canceled a planned visit to the UK of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and inaugurated a new 48 million British pound chemical weapons defense center.

The Trump administration released a statement fully supporting the stance of the UK government and blaming Russia for the alleged Novichok attack. Following the recommendation of the UN Security Council, Trump in turn ordered the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats (considered to be intelligence agents) and the closure of the Russian consulate in Seattle, and enacted a new round of sanctions on Russian banks and exports.

Deception Operation Exposed

John Helmer is an Australian correspondent based in Moscow who has recently published the book Long Live Novichok! The British poison which fooled the world, which exposes the Skripal and Sturgess poisonings as a deadly British MI6 deception operation.

Its purpose was to create a diplomatic row with the Russians and help mobilize public support for the U.S.-UK proxy war in Ukraine and a new Cold War.

[…]

Helmer writes that today’s counterpart involving the Skripals—“Operation Mincepie”—involved “what’s left of British secret intelligence in March 2018” dressing up “two Russians—Sergei and Yulia Skripal,” “knocking them out on a bench in the middle of Salisbury,” and taking them to Salisbury District Hospital where they were treated for acute organo-phosphate poisoning.[2]

[…]

Sir Mark Sedwill was a high-level MI6 agent operating under diplomatic cover, who served as Cabinet Secretary and National Security Adviser to Prime Minister Theresa May and is considered by Helmer to have been the key mastermind of Operation Mincepie.[3]

The success of Operation Mincepie was evident in the fact that 65% of the British public “had a perception of Russian culpability” in the Skripal and Sturgess poisonings in the year after the attacks, according to Helmer.[4]

[…]

In debunking the official story, Helmer quotes from Salisbury District Hospital staff, including Dr. Stephen Davies, who disclosed that blood testing did not reveal that the Skripals had been poisoned with Novichok, though hospital staff had been told what to report about the tests 24 hours before they were administered.[7]

The UK Defense Ministry and its Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) at Porton Down were unable or unwilling to produce records of the Skripal blood evidence—precisely, Helmer says, because the evidence does not exist.[8]

If the Skripals were actually poisoned with Novichok, they would have died either instantaneously or within several seconds or minutes.[9]

The symptoms that Detective Bailey described also were not consistent with those of Novichok poisoning, which normally involves difficulty breathing, lapsing into delirium or the loss of consciousness or muscle coordination.[10]

Amazingly, Yulia Skripal admitted, when she first re-awoke while in the hospital four days after the attack, that the assassination attempt on her and her father was carried out with poison spray—in the restaurant where the Skripals were dining—by an attacker who was not Russian. [11]

This undercut the official story that the Russians had spread the poison on the Skripals doorknob.

Helmer suggests that Yulia had recovered consciousness far earlier than was reported in the media, that doctors forcibly sedated her to fit a certain assigned narrative, and that she was subsequently made to speak from a script. [12]

Since the Skripals did not die in Operation Mincepie, they had to be locked up—their whereabouts since their alleged release from the hospital have never been disclosed. (Sergei was last heard of in a telephone call to his mother’s house in June 2019 and Yulia in June 2018).[13]

May’s Lies

Among Theresa May’s lies was her claim that only Russia had the technical means and operational experience and motive to carry out the Novichok poisoning attacks. May knew very well, however, that Porton Down had a top-secret nerve-agent program that produced Novichok.

This program has not been properly disclosed to the OPCW, making it a violation of the UN Chemical Weapons Convention.[27]

The Porton Down facility happens to be located adjacent to Salisbury where the alleged Skripal poisoning attack took place.

BBC Lies

Helmer includes a chapter on the misinformation advanced by the BBC—a long-time supporter of MI6 covert operations—which, he says, provided a “platform for the British government’s narrative that Russia, directed by Vladimir Putin, waged chemical warfare on British soil, attempting to assassinate Sergei and Yulia Skripal and then killing Dawn Sturgess.”[28]

BBC broadcaster Mark Urban later admitted that he had been preparing interviews with Skripal by arrangement with the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and then produced a book on the case with the NATO information warfare unit, Bellingcat.[29]

A BBC documentary series that Urban narrated—which was watched by some 12 million viewers—claimed that the Russian assassins snuck into the Skripals’ home through the back and spread the Novichok on the front-door handle, which is how Detective Bailey allegedly was infected.

But the Skripals collapsed at 4:15 p.m.—three hours after they were last at home—which makes the above scenario impossible because exposure to Novichok causes almost instantaneous debilitation and—usually—death.[30]

A key military source in the film, Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, served in the Royal Tank Regiment with Mark Urban and Pablo Miller, Skripal’s MI6 handler.[31]

A veteran of the British army’s chemical warfare regiment, de Bretton-Gordon claimed to have served in a medical unit in Idlib, Syria, when the city was under the rule of ISIS and served as an adviser to the BBC on Russian threats—which it was his job to deliberately play up.[32]

Misleading footage in the BBC film showed the Skripals feeding the ducks in the park—which was clearly staged as it is now known that no ducks were poisoned.

The Skripals were shown spreading poison elsewhere in the park unwittingly when no nerve agent poisoning was ever spread.

Helmer writes that the effect of the BBC film was to “create a dire threat facing the city”—emanating supposedly from the Russians—which did not actually exist.[33]

A Triple Agent

Helmer presents evidence that Sergei Skripal was concerned before his alleged poisoning about being spied on not by the Russians but by British intelligence agents.[34]

The reason, Helmer believes, is that Skripal was actually a Russian triple agent whose defection to the British had been carefully staged.[35]

Skripal’s purpose as a triple agent was to gain secrets on Britain’s chemical warfare preparations at Porton Down, which he was able to infiltrate. Additionally, he was allegedly able to report on British MI6 identities and operations.

The likely scenario is that, when MI6 discovered Skripal’s double crossing of them and his spying for the Russians, they poisoned him and his daughter with nerve agents developed at Porton Down.

Iran overcomes heavy US sanctions and war with Israel, takes over key energy export markets

Inside China Business | August 12, 2025

China is a top buyer of Iranian crude, taking 90% of its crude exports. But Iran has recently passed Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar as the top producer and exporter of NG products, bringing in billions more. Ambitious expansions of their petrochemical industry are also ongoing. Iranians report little difficulty in business operations among different currencies, despite the US Treasury Department’s blacklisting of key energy suppliers, and firm control over the SWIFT systems.

How Gaza’s Humanitarian Collapse Collides with West Bank Expansion Plans

IntelScooper

GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories — In the southern neighborhoods of Gaza City, children’s laughter has been replaced by the faint rattle of empty cooking pots. Food queues now stretch for hours, only to dissolve in frustration when the relief trucks fail to arrive. For many families, the next meal depends not on money, but on whether Israeli authorities will permit aid convoys to pass through the tightly monitored crossings.

More than 100 humanitarian organizations, including Médecins Sans Frontières and Oxfam, accuse Israel of implementing a new “registration” system that has trapped hundreds of aid trucks in Jordan and Egypt. Under the new rules, items not pre-approved — from infant formula to water filtration systems — are being rejected outright or left to decay at border depots. The United Nations reports that over 239 Palestinians, including 106 children, have died of hunger-related causes since the spring.

The figures are shocking, but the pattern is not new. In 2007, when Hamas took control of Gaza, Israel imposed a land, air, and sea blockade, restricting the movement of goods and people. While the stated aim was to prevent weapons smuggling, the blockade has also strangled the economy and eroded public health systems. What makes the present crisis uniquely grim is the accusation by UN-appointed experts that Israel is engaged in “medicide” — the deliberate destruction of medical infrastructure and the targeting of health professionals. Hospitals that survived past conflicts have been stripped of supplies, while doctors are forced to perform surgery without anesthesia.

The Gaza blockade is now intersecting with a separate flashpoint in the West Bank: the revival of the long-disputed E1 settlement project. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich recently claimed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former US President Donald Trump, and current US Ambassador Mike Huckabee support the plan, which would link East Jerusalem with the Ma’ale Adumim settlement through a stretch of Israeli-controlled territory. Critics, including Jordan’s foreign ministry, warn that E1 would sever the West Bank into disconnected northern and southern sections — a death blow to the idea of a contiguous Palestinian state.

The E1 plan has a long history. First floated in the 1990s, it was repeatedly shelved under international pressure, particularly from Washington, which saw it as incompatible with a negotiated two-state solution. But Israeli leaders have often revived the proposal during periods of political crisis at home, framing settlement expansion as a matter of national security. Past attempts to move forward on E1 have triggered mass protests in the West Bank, international condemnation, and rare public rebukes from US administrations.

In Amman, Jordanian officials warn that proceeding with E1 risks inflaming tensions not only between Israelis and Palestinians but also across the broader Arab world. Iraq’s foreign ministry echoed this view, calling the plan “a violation of international law and an assault on the rights of the Palestinian people.”

Meanwhile, in Gaza, the human toll deepens. Aid convoys, when they do arrive, are often met with chaos. Since May, nearly 1,900 people have been killed while attempting to collect food, victims of gunfire, airstrikes, or stampedes. Survivors describe desperate scrambles to grab sacks of flour under the crack of live ammunition.

The violence is not confined to Gaza. In the West Bank, Palestinian villages near settlement outposts have reported a spike in settler attacks, often carried out under the protection of Israeli forces. This mirrors patterns documented in past years, when periods of intensified military operations in Gaza coincided with escalations in settler violence elsewhere.

The backdrop to these dual crises is a shifting geopolitical conversation. In Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin has signaled openness to renewed US–Russia talks on arms control, while also suggesting the Ukraine war could be a template for conflict mediation in the Middle East. In Washington, a more fractured political environment has seen unusual criticism of Israeli policy emerging from factions of the American right.

For Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, such international maneuvering can feel remote. “They talk of peace while we bury our children,” said Umm Ahmed, a mother of four in Khan Younis, whose youngest son died of malnutrition in June. Her words echo a truth often lost in policy debates: that the intersection of aid blockades and territorial expansion is not an abstract political puzzle, but a lived catastrophe — measured in empty shelves, fractured hospitals, and lives cut short.

Whether these crises can be addressed together — lifting the blockade while halting settlement expansion — remains uncertain. What is clear is that the cost of inaction is mounting, and that both Gaza’s starvation and the West Bank’s fragmentation are shaping the contours of the conflict in ways that will be far harder to reverse than to inflame.
