Uyghur Genocide Psy-Op Exposed

On June 29, 2020, the CIA-linked Jamestown Foundation—which was set up with the help of former CIA Director William Casey (1981-1987) and appointed ex-CIA Director James Woolsey (1993-1995) as Vice Chairman and former CIA Director Michael Hayden (2006-2009) to its board[1]—published a “research report” by Adrian Zenz, which falsely accused the Chinese government of committing “genocide” against ethnic minorities in Xinjiang.

After the release of the report, the media became filled with sensationalistic articles and Uyghur exiles were given platforms in major universities to promote the genocide claim. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom and now National Endowment for Democracy (NED) Board members Sam Brownback, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and House Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA) also began whipping up the “genocide” accusation and lobbying the Trump administration for hard-line anti-China policies.

In December 2021, President Joe Biden signed legislation—which passed both houses of Congress, with only Thomas Massie (R-KY) dissenting—banning imports from China’s Xinjiang region as part of an attempt to punish the Chinese government for its alleged genocide of Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities. Three years later, Ritchie Torres (D-NY) inserted a Uyghur Review Act into the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requiring the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to submit to Congress a report on the Uyghur genocide, with Torres alleging that more than one million Uyghur had been killed.[2]

As the AI Bubble Threatens to Burst, We Must Prepare to Fight a Big Tech Bailout

By Alexis Goldstein

This article was originally published by Truthout

As firms like CoreWeave and NVIDIA start to wobble, let’s demand that the public won’t be the one left holding the bag.

AI data centers are unpopular for good reason: they drive up utility costs for communities, crowd out everything from schools to family farms, and they’re bad for our health. But these data centers are also a financial crisis in slow motion.

The AI ecosystem is built on mountains of debt taken on not only by tech firms like Meta (which borrowed a record-breaking $25 billion in late 2025 to fund the building of data centers), but also by the companies that lease data center space to the Big Tech firms. Many of these firms have spent far more than they have come close to earning in profits: One estimate puts tech industry spending to build data centers at $1.9 trillion, but less than half of that money has been made in revenue.

The financial markets are taking notice.

There’s been significant turmoil in the tech sector over the past month — and at one critical company in particular: CoreWeave.

CoreWeave used to be a Bitcoin mining firm called Atlantic Crypto, but it started to pivot to AI in 2019. CoreWeave leases space to Big Tech firms at data centers they build and maintain. CoreWeave has paid for most of its data centers by borrowing: it currently owes more than $51 billion to investors, including two of the most infamous financial firms: Magnetar and Blackstone, as documented by journalist Elizabeth Lopatto at The Verge.

CoreWeave’s troubles have been piling up: its stock lost a quarter of its value — a 25 percent drop — last week, then dropped another 10 percent on October 22. Bond investors are demanding more money if they’re going to take on the risk of buying CoreWeave debt, a sign the markets are worried about CoreWeave going bust. Investors used to be content to be paid 9.75 percent a year to loan CoreWeave money until 2031; now bond market investors won’t take that risk without being paid almost 15 percent in annual interest.

But perhaps the worst bit of news for CoreWeave is in the market’s falling confidence in its ability to survive, as measured by the cost of an instrument known as the credit default swap, which is essentially a bet that a company is going to go bankrupt (it’s also described as insurance against that company’s bankruptcy). The cost of buying a five-year-long credit default swap for CoreWeave has increased over 164 percent in the past year.

It’s not just CoreWeave facing trouble. One of the most significant companies in the AI ecosystem is NVIDIA, the graphics card maker, which, on September 28, spent $150 billion to buy back shares of its own stock from the overall market.

It was a record-breaking stock buyback — no other company in history had ever purchased that much of its own stock. One reason companies buy back their own stock is to artificially boost the stock price. Often the CEO’s compensation is tied to the price of the stock, and so the company purchases its own stock back to drive up the price, thus guaranteeing the CEO higher compensation.

The market sometimes perceives a stock buyback as a sign of confidence, reinforcing the idea that the company itself is underpriced. But in the case of NVIDIA, it seemed to be an indication that there’s nowhere higher to go, and the only way to raise the price of NVIDIA stock, which has been on a record tear, is to artificially boost it. Financial journalists have questioned NVIDIA’s ability to keep rocketing upward since late 2025. NVIDIA stock is down around 5 percent since this latest buyback.

AI has been sold to the general public as everything from a panacea to a danger to humanity to a roaring bull market, but it’s starting to look more like financial mania.

In late 2025, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar caused a stir when she suggested the government should backstop AI firms like hers. Astra Taylor and Naomi Klein warned about the potential for an AI bailout in their new book End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World, and propose a new disarmament movement.

To disarm the big tech bomb, including AI, the public needs to be on high alert — as AI firms start to visibly wobble, we need clear demands and firm commitments from our leaders that if it all comes crashing down, the public won’t be the one left holding the bag.

‘Ports for peace’: Dockworkers across five continents stage mass strike against arms shipments

(Photo credit: Matteo Ciambelli/Reuters)

The Cradle

OCT 30, 2026

Unions have adopted a declaration calling for an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the recognition of Palestinian statehood

Dockworkers across five continents launched coordinated strikes on 30 October to disrupt arms shipments bound for “war zones” from transiting civilian ports, Italy’s Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) announced.

The coalition consists of more than 25 unions, with strikes, cargo stoppages, rallies, and protests planned at 113 ports across 22 countries and regions under the banner “Ports For Peace. Jobs With Dignity.”

The unions adopted a joint declaration in Istanbul in May demanding an immediate end to Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, and international recognition of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The declaration also rejects the use of any port to ship arms, ammunition, military equipment, or troops to war zones.

The scale of the action differs between ports. Unions in France, Italy, Greece, Turkiye, and India have called 24-hour strikes, while workers in Morocco and Cyprus will suspend cargo handling for up to two hours, and other ports will hold rallies and pickets without halting operations.

French port unions expect their strike to halt roughly 95 percent of activity at the country’s ports.

Organizers say the unions involved from the start represent ports that handle about 40 percent of Mediterranean container traffic, and that a single day of action could disrupt or halt the movement of around 40,000 containers.

The Istanbul Declaration further calls for an end to the US-Israeli wars of aggression across West Asia and against Iran, and refuses to let ports serve as military bases for NATO, the US, or the EU, or as instruments of shipowners and monopoly interests.

The joint declaration also affirms the right of all peoples to resist occupation and determine their own future, and expresses solidarity with Cuba, Venezuela, and Sudan.

Each union is choosing its own form of action based on national conditions, but united by what the signatories called a shared commitment to “prevent the loading of death and destruction.”

Dock workers across the Mediterranean, Europe, and North Africa have been organizing against arms shipments to Israel since the start of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023.
Unions and port-worker collectives in France, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Spain, and Turkiye began refusing to handle, load, or transit weapons, ammunition, and military components.

Their actions have included blocking vessels, boycotting ships carrying US military equipment, halting Israel-bound military cargo, and coordinating strikes across Mediterranean ports

Dock workers have also threatened wider blockades and general strikes to defend Gaza-bound aid flotillas in their many missions to break the Israeli siege of the enclave, and have pressed port authorities and shipping firms to disclose cargo and routes kept hidden from public view.

Spotlight on Canada’s Vaccine Injured at the Allison Inquiry

By Miss Information
30 October 2026

It is a source of relief to those of us working with the vaccine injured, and advocating for the preservation of medical ethics against the corporate takeover of health systems, to see well-organised pushbacks elsewhere. Canada, home of the Freedom Truckers who inspired our own Freedom Convoy and parliament occupation in 2022, has acknowledged the suffering of the covid vaccine injured and bereaved in an official parliamentary hearing, The Allison Inquiry.

Dean Allison is the federal Member of Parliament representing the Niagara West electorate of Ontario in the Canadian House of Commons. Based in Grimsby, on the south-western shore of Lake Ontario, Allison has a background in private business and community service. Elected to the House of Commons in June 2004, he has retained his seat for the past 22 years.

Over half of the entire population of Canada is reported to have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine. Health Canada’s Covid-19 safety reports document over 59,000 adverse events including 11,000 classified as serious.

It would seem Canada’s under-reporting is much worse even than ours. Doctors and patients have reported extreme difficulty in filing reports, and a consistent pattern by authorities allegedly tasked to investigate reports, of refusing to examine the possibility of safety signals. Combined with a general lack of public awareness to the connection between health problems and the injectable products, this means that the real numbers are likely to be higher by an order of magnitude.

Until last month the only inquiry into the experiences of Canadian citizens relating to the covid response had been the National Citizens Inquiry, launched in 2023 and driven entirely by citizen funding and leadership. Overseen by legal counsel Shawn Buckley, the NCI is now expanding into other related issues.

Allison describes hearing frequently from constituents about the impact of the covid response upon their lives. Sick, injured and disabled people report serious gaslighting from health professionals tasked with diagnosing and treating them, and broad censorship of any attempts to speak about their experiences. These stories impelled him to launch the non-partisan Allison Inquiry in collaboration with Shawn Buckley to “create a neutral forum for Canadians to share their personal experiences of injuries to themselves, or to others, from the Covid-19 vaccine(s).“

The inquiry was held from 8 September until 11 September 2026 at the Wellington Building on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Over 1,400 witness applications were received from vaccine injured Canadians, with more continuing to come forward. Their experiences will be documented in the final report, and each applicant’s name was read out during breaks in proceedings, in order to be included in the official record.

Forty five injured or bereaved citizens were selected to appear in person at the live event, to describe their experiences and the impact their injury and/or loss has had on their lives. Eighteen expert witnesses with backgrounds in medicine, law, journalism, science and data analysis also provided evidence. Video of each full day, and separate footage of each individual testimony, with a short written summary of each, can be found at this link.

In his opening statement on 8 September 2026, Shawn Buckley revealed the fears expressed by many witnesses, some of whom withdrew testimony due to the stigma they face in a fractured society. “One person was told by a family member, “If I testify, I will never see my grandchildren again.” Another injured witness, who had already lost her mother and a sibling, feared losing the last family member she had left if she testified“. Others were unable to attend due to medical treatment commitments.

Open invitations were sent to all Members of Parliament and Senators, and all media outlets. On Day 2 it was reported that of the 20 seats reserved for the approximately 340 sitting MPs, only two were used. Allison reported that when the Inquiry was first planned, he could not herald any support from his parliamentary peers, but that ultimately about ten MPs attended some of the sessions. Unfortunately all represented the Conservative party, showing the political divide that remains on what should be, and is, a non-partisan issue.

Nevertheless, Allison has described this as a move in the right direction. He says that now MPs are contacting him asking for support to convene local town halls to hear from their constituents. As public perception of what has happened evolves, the conviction of political representatives on all sides of politics is destined to follow. New Zealand seems to be seeing some evolution in the actions of some smaller parties outside parliament and at least one Member of Parliament, current Foreign Minister, Winston Peters.

Similarly, whilst multiple independent media outlets (eg Press for Truth, Rebel News, The Highwire and Wiretap Media) attended and / or reported on the inquiry, legacy media remained absent. Headquarters of Canada’s national broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) are a few steps away from the Wellington Building, yet not a single CBC journalist attended.

The absence of the CBC appears to have been eloquently explained by former CBC journalist Rodney Palmer in his presentation to the Allison Inquiry on the difference between “public broadcasters” and “state broadcasters”. New Zealand experienced a similar journalistic fate thanks to the $55m Public Journalism Fund which helped to uphold our “single source of truth“.

The focus of the Allison Inquiry was to give a voice to the vaccine injured, who have been marginalised, ignored, gaslit and smeared as “anti vaxxers” despite taking the products. This is a global phenomenon resulting from a calculated propaganda and censorship campaign.

The Canadian experience reflects that which is taking place globally including here in New Zealand. Whilst the NZ establishment claims to have addressed our covid response through the Royal Commission of Inquiry, human rights breaches and the associated physical harms continue to be ignored and downplayed.

Our health system plays a pivotal role in the ongoing administration of harmful interventions, and denial of the subsequent outcomes. Quoting US nurse whistleblower Erin Oszlewski who, like New Zealand database whistleblower Barry Young, was severely censored and attacked, Canadian mind control expert Jason Christoff explains here, the historical context of the role that doctors and nurses have played throughout history, in government programs of harm.

Why do you think, in every single medical euthanasia historical event, who do you think is at the centre of it? It’s the medical system. Each and every time.

One of the most-cited scientists in history, world-leading epidemiologist Professor John Ioannidis from Stanford University is speaking out about the crisis of biomedicine. He rightly states that medical research is being destroyed by vested interests, basic research mistakes and a “deluge of fraudulent research“.

Professor Ioannidis suggests that the solution is to replace corporate-sponsored research funding with public funding. An early example of this is already happening via the Florida Cancer Innovation Fund. Announced by Governor De Santis in September 2025, public money to the tune of $60 million has been dedicated to researching the use of nutrition and repurposed generic drugs in cancer treatment. This is due in no small part to the work of Doctors Paul Marik and William Makis, as described in our April 2026 article A Burgeoning Medical Revolution: The Parasite-Cancer Link.

Bukele’s invasion of Haiti opens a new front in Washington’s war drive

Salvadoran special forces soldiers marching

The first plane-load of 100 Salvadoran “special forces” soldiers that Bukele illegally deployed to Haiti arrived on Oct. 22, the day after he announced his “rescue operation.”

On Feb. 29, 2024, the Viv Ansanm (Live Together), an alliance of greater Port-au-Prince’s neighborhood armed groups, blocked the capital’s international airport thereby thwarting the return to Haiti of reviled de facto Prime Minister Ariel Henry.

He was returning from Kenya where he had just signed an agreement to allow the deployment of the Multinational Security Support mission (MSS), a proxy “Coalition of the Willing”-like force that then Secretary of State Antony Blinken cooked up to fight the Viv Ansanm, which a Pentagon spokesman called a “proto-insurgency” this past summer.

The Haitian people almost universally welcomed Henry’s ouster.

But nine days later, Malaysian far-right Elon-Musk-finger-puppet Ian Miles Cheong tweeted out: “Haiti has collapsed. The President [sic] is no longer in the country. The ports are officially closed. Cannibal gangs are besieging the national palace in Port-au-Prince,” to which Musk immediately replied “End of days. This is bleaker than Mad Max.”

But a savior quickly stepped forward. The next day, El Salvador’s hard-right president Nayib Bukele, tweeted back to Cheong: “We can fix it. But we’ll need a UNSC [UN Security Council] resolution, the consent of the host country, and all the mission expenses to be covered.”

Steamrolling international law

Now, two and a half years later, Bukele’s Rambo moment has finally come. At this writing on Oct. 27, some 450 Salvadoran soldiers have already landed in Haiti in the past five days, with another 700 reportedly to arrive soon. The first deployment was 100 “special forces” troops deployed on Oct. 22, the day after Bukele announced his “rescue operation.” (As we go to press, the Salvadoran outlet Tendencias reports that there are now 1,000 Salvadoran soldiers in Haiti.)

But these soon-to-be 1,100-odd Salvadoran troops are not deployed as part of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF), launched in September 2025, which is current Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s enlarged and overhauled version of Blinken’s MSS. The Salvadorans sent this past week are commanded unilaterally by Bukele, an egregious departure from his Mar. 10, 2024 tweet (need “a UNSC resolution”) and a flagrant violation of the UN Charter.

What prompted the unlawful Salvadoran deployment was the Oct. 18 killing of five GSF mercenaries, four of whom were Salvadoran aircraft mechanics that were part of a contingent of some 80 Salvadorans attached to both the MSS and GSF.

Although Haïti Liberté reported last week that the mercenaries had burned to death in their armored car, the United States and El Salvador continued to insist, without any evidence, that they were alive. So the troops that Bukele is sending are a supposed “rescue mission.”

But this ruse appeared to be foiled on Oct. 24 when the Chen Mechan (Mean Dog) armed group, a Viv Ansanm affiliate, returned the bodies of the mercenaries, whom they said were killed in the armored car ambush and burning.

However, Bukele rejects that the bodies are those of his GSF-attached soldiers, even though the GSF command itself contradicts him, saying that it does not know.

Fils-Aimé missing in action

Meanwhile, the second of Bukele’s 2024 “fix it” conditions was also not met. There was absolutely no “consent from the host country.” First, this consent is impossible to obtain because Haiti only has a United States-protected, increasingly unpopular, de facto Prime Minister, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, who rules by decree. But the second reason was that Fils-Aimé was not even present in Haiti when Bukele started to land his troops there. Fils-Aimé had left the country on Oct. 22 on a private jet to attend a wedding in Mexico, not returning until Oct. 27.

[…]

“Viewed strictly as invaders”

Whatever Rubio did or didn’t promise, Bukele’s troops have landed on a battlefield that his “Bukele model” was never built for. Salvadoran soldiers rounding up tattooed youths in San Salvador’s barrios is one thing. Fighting the Viv Ansanm in the warrens of Croix-des-Missions and the open plain of Croix-des-Bouquets is something else.

[…]

The foreign offensive, he argues, is propping up “an unrepresentative proxy government that contains zero elected officials and governs strictly by executive decree” – the government of the jet-setting Fils-Aimé. In doing so, it “forces a nationalist consolidation.” Rivalries among armed groups are “instantly erased by the presence of a foreign boot,” and the armed groups can now present their fight “as an indigenous defense of national sovereignty,” with the community becoming their “intelligence and logistical shield.”

[…]

Enter the Dominicans

That patriotic reaction is likely to grow sharper still with the appearance of Dominican soldiers alongside the Salvadorans.

At about 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 26, a correspondent for Live Tanbou Verite was at the Carrefour Marin in Croix-des-Missions, in the Chen Mechan neighborhood, just as a large firefight between the Salvadoran forces and Viv Ansanm fighters was getting underway. The correspondent saw a soldier in a Dominican military uniform step out of an armored vehicle. As the shooting became intense, the soldier climbed back into the tank.

This sighting flatly contradicts Dominican President Luis Abinader, who said on Oct. 26 that “the participation of Dominican personnel was never contemplated” in the international mission’s operations in Haiti.

[…]

“No one is permitted to leave”

The scale and ferocity of the offensive are documented in a GSF Situation Report dated Oct. 26 and obtained by Haïti Liberté.

[…]

The report adds that the fighting has caused “the collapse of hospital operations” in the area. “To prevent a mass escape of armed criminals and an incursion into its territory – driven by the ferocity of the offensive – Dominican President Luis Abinader has ordered a total and absolute closure of the borders,” the SITREP (in military parlance) says. “The military has been deployed on high alert, and armed clashes have also been reported along the border.”

[…]

The cost of this operation is being paid, as always, by the people who live in these neighborhoods. Dozens of local residents have been killed in the fighting that the Salvadoran, GSF, and PNH assault has unleashed in and around Croix-des-Missions and Croix-des-Bouquets.

[…]

The invaders are also taking losses: according to a highly placed source in the Viv Ansanm, 11 Chadian GSF soldiers were killed in battles after Oct. 18, but their deaths have not been announced by the force.

Meanwhile, the drone war being waged on the capital’s popular neighborhoods continues. Five drones were exploded in Belair on Oct. 25, and four soldiers of the Village de Dieu armed group, headed by Johnson “Izo” André, were killed.

Three armies against one

The result is a war without precedent in Haiti’s modern history. The Viv Ansanm is now fighting three different armies at once: a private one, Erik Prince’s Vectus Global, whose mercenaries operate the drones and armored car death-squads that have killed hundreds in the capital’s poor neighborhoods; a multinational one, the GSF, authorized by the UN Security Council but designed in Washington; and now a binational one, the Salvadoran expeditionary force, with Dominican support, at the very least.

None of these three forces answers to the Haitian people. Not one has been authorized by an elected Haitian official, because there are none left.

The “Shield of the Americas”

The Salvadoran-Dominican partnership in Haiti is not happening in a vacuum. On Oct. 26 and 27, Abinader hosted in Santo Domingo a conference of the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C), co-organized by the Dominican Defense Ministry and the United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), whose commander, Marine Gen. Francis L. Donovan, opened the gathering alongside Abinader and United States Ambassador Leah Francis Campos. Defense and security officials from 19 hemispheric nations attended to finalize “a strategic operational plan” and a “governance charter” for “combined operations” against “criminal networks,” according to the United States Embassy. SOUTHCOM itself trumpeted the meeting on X.

The A3C was announced in March by Pete Hegseth, Trump’s “Secretary of War,” and the United States Embassy describes it as “independent, but complementary” to the “Shield of the Americas,” the United States-led military and political coalition that Trump launched on Mar. 7 in Doral, near Miami. Headquartered at SOUTHCOM, the Shield promises member states “increased access to U.S. military equipment, training, and intelligence.” Among its founding members: El Salvador and the Dominican Republic. Bukele personally attended its launch.

So Bukele’s “rescue mission” and Abinader’s logistical and intelligence support are not improvised acts of neighborly solidarity. They are the first live-fire test of the Shield of the Americas, the vehicle through which Washington aims to militarize the Caribbean and Latin America under the banner of fighting “cartels” and “narco-terrorists.” That banner has already been used to justify lethal United States strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific (there was another strike on Oct. 27) and the military campaign against Venezuela.

[…]

Rubio’s Haitian interests?

Which brings us back to Marco Rubio, the architect of both the GSF and the hemispheric crusade against “narco-terrorism.” Does he have more than a policy interest in Haiti?

According to a very reliable Haïti Liberté source in Haiti, Rubio’s longtime friend and former roommate, ex-Congressman David Rivera, told him that Rubio had 140 businesses in Haiti. Rivera said this in August 2019, during a lengthy meeting with our source in Haiti. Rivera was in the country, the source said, seeking to bribe then-President Jovenel Moïse into opening the Haitian market to a range of Dominican products. It was while pitching this scheme that Rivera spoke about Rubio’s business interests in Haiti.

Haïti Liberté has not been able to independently verify Rivera’s claim. But if Rubio, or people close to him, have significant commercial stakes in Haiti, that would give him a powerful incentive to back a military offensive to “clear” the country of the armed groups that the Haitian bourgeoisie and its foreign masters see as a threat to their hegemony, business interests, and power.

Rivera and Rubio go back a long way. Before Rivera served in Congress from 2011 to 2013, the two Florida Republicans shared a home in Tallahassee as they rose together through the state legislature, and they remained close allies afterwards.

On Oct. 2, a federal judge in Miami sentenced Rivera to 10 years in federal prison for concealing a $50 million lobbying campaign on behalf of Venezuela’s government during Trump’s first term. Tapped by Maduro’s Foreign Minister Delcy Rodríguez, now Venezuela’s acting president, to get Washington to normalize relations, Rivera and a co-defendant, Esther Nuhfer, obtained a three-month, $50 million contract from an affiliate of the state oil company PDVSA. The two then “sought to manipulate influential friends, including Rubio,” the Associated Press reported (Rubio testified that Rivera never mentioned the contract). In the conspirators’ encrypted chat group, Maduro was the “bus driver” and Rubio was “Miss Clairol,” a play on rubio, Spanish for “blond.”

Prosecutors said Rivera hid the deal behind backdated documents and sham agreements, including one covering a $3.75 million payment to maintain his Venezuelan go-between’s luxury yacht. “He used his position of trust – and betrayed it consistently and repeatedly,” said Assistant United States Attorney Roger Cruz.

It was not Rivera’s first brush with scandal. He was accused of secretly funding a Democratic spoiler candidate in a 2012 congressional race (the case was eventually dropped) and was investigated, though never charged, over a $1 million contract with a gambling company while a Florida legislator. In other words, the man our source describes as trying to buy access to Haiti’s National Palace in 2019 had a long track record of exactly that kind of dealing.

Rivera, a stalwart of Miami’s Cuban-American anti-communist establishment, did not work for Caracas out of any sympathy for the government of Nicolás Maduro. He kept the lobbying secret, prosecutors argued, precisely because it “would ruin Rivera’s reputation as an anti-communist stalwart.” Judge Melissa Damian denounced him for betraying his life’s mission. “There’s no dispute this money came from the Maduro regime,” she said. Or, as United States Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones put it after the sentencing, “He sold his anti-communism to communists to fill his greed.” His lawyers have now applied for a presidential pardon from Trump.

Hackers Dump Records on Over 41,000 DHS Employees, Including Undercover ICE Agents

A badge and gun of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

Cassandra MacDonald
Oct. 29, 2026

A group calling itself the “Department of Peace” has released a massive trove of records on more than 41,000 Department of Homeland Security employees and contractors, including names, cellphone numbers, email addresses, office locations, membership in internal groups tied to undercover operations, wiretap programs, and surveillance tools.

The transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets published the archive under the name “Icepick” on Wednesday after receiving the material from the “Department of Peace,” which claims it obtained the data from DHS’s Okta single sign-on login system.

The records were last updated on August 19, 2026, and cover DHS headquarters along with agencies including , Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

WIRED, which reviewed the data dump, reported that the leak maps out organizational structure, reporting lines, facility locations, and permission groups for sensitive programs.

The report noted, “The Trump administration has prosecuted protesters for posting information about individual ICE officers and warned others for doing so. In June, 15 Minnesota residents were charged under laws related to stalking and threats of violence, which prosecutors linked to their participation in ICE-opposition activities. More than 100 HSI agents, including undercover operatives, took part in an operation that included widespread surveillance and infiltration of group chats.”

The BBC reports:

Most of the agents included, more than 21,000 of them, work for CBP, according to the data. Nearly 6,600 work for ICE.

Other records show agents with Homeland Security Investigations, the Federal Protective Service and even people working for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

The leaked information also included dozens of previously unknown operation names, the agents that led and worked on those operations, and some of the technology they used in their work, including tech provided by Cellbrite and Palantir.

The hackers left a note with the files stating, “They have our information, so it’s only fair that we have theirs.”

The Department of Peace explicitly framed the release as retaliation.

A spokesperson for the group said, “On July 17th, Markwayne Mullin said he was ‘turning up the heat’. This is what happens to ICE when you do that.”

DHS confirmed to the BBC it is “aware of a potential breach and is actively working to address the situation swiftly and effectively,” adding that it takes threats against employees and officers seriously and will update the public when more information is available.

Okta told Wired that it is aware of the claims but that “Okta is secure, and we have no evidence our data or systems were compromised.”

The leak follows an attempted hack that took the Federal Election Commission system offline.

There has been a serious surge in threats and violence against federal agents, which the people publishing this information are obviously aware of.

DHS has repeatedly stated that ICE officers have faced an 8,000 percent increase in death threats and a more than 1,000 percent increase in assaults while carrying out enforcement operations.

Official releases have detailed specific incidents including an in Dallas posting a TikTok offer of $10,000 for the murder of ICE agents, voicemails threatening agents’ spouses and children with deportation or violence, and cases of agents’ family members being stalked or having bounties placed on them.

In one instance, Homeland Security Investigations arrested a Florida man who repeatedly posted online calls to “shoot the ICE Nazis down” and “get a gun and shoot the ICE agents down.”

DHS has also reported agents’ spouses receiving messages comparing officers to Nazis and warning that “retribution will come.”

Activists have livestreamed following agents to their homes, posted addresses on social media, mailed postcards reading “Beware! Your neighbor is an ICE agent,” and circulated personal information tied to high-profile operations.

ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility has investigated more than 100 cases involving doxing and threats between early 2025 and early 2026.

Officials have linked the escalation to political rhetoric that labels agents as “Gestapo” or “Nazis,” while noting that the same environment has produced vehicle rammings, physical assaults, and online campaigns encouraging attacks.

Ukraine to privatize state banks despite war

Why is Ukraine so important to Nathaniel Rothschild? This is a mystery difficult to resolve.

This week, Ukraine’s Ministry of Finance, led by Sergey Marchenko, signed an agreement with the financial group Rothschild & Co for the purpose of preparatory consultancy for the privatization of the Ukrainian state banks Ukrgasbank and Sense Bank, two of the largest banks in the Ukrainian financial system. Rothschild & Co will carry out an inventory of these banks’ assets, as well as an assessment of their financial health, organize the information, and attract buyers for the acquisition. In practice, Rothschild & Co will end up determining the buyer(s), thanks to its privileged role in this operation, as well as its institutional weight.

The Ukrainian government claims that the operation is necessary to reduce the role of the State in the Ukrainian banking-financial system and to attract foreign investment, in accordance with recommendations forwarded by the IMF.

In most other countries, these sudden privatization operations always generate large waves of protest organized by unions, social movements, and opposition parties, but the privatization of some of the main Ukrainian banks is advancing without any popular reaction, a symptom of Ukraine’s transformation into a dictatorship through the recourse to a permanent state of exception.

This is not the first Rothschild operation in Ukraine.

Since at least 2015, the financial advisory institution Rothschild & Co has acted practically as an “appendage” of Ukraine, assuming the responsibility of “guiding” the Ukrainian government in financial matters, especially in relation to the restructuring and renegotiation of its debts. In the past, Rothschild & Co also acted in the unbundling of Naftogaz, Ukraine’s main state oil and gas company. This unbundling consists of the “separation” of Naftogaz’s various activities into subsidiaries to facilitate the sale or concession of activities considered “non-essential.” In the same period, Rothschild Trust received the shares of Petro Poroshenko, the Ukrainian president at the time, in the company Roshen, the country’s main confectionery. “Received” here is a key verb because, in fact, there was no “sale” of the shares, but a simple handover, which is extremely peculiar and suggests the existence of some kind of more obscure relationship between Poroshenko and Rothschild Trust.

Shortly after the Orange Revolution, Nathaniel Rothschild and his merchant bank JNR entered Ukraine in partnership with the American company Vanco Energy (connected to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney) to take control of Ukrainian oil in the Black Sea.

This is the same Nathaniel Rothschild who in April 2022 said that Vladimir Putin was the most dangerous man since Hitler, and that “Ukraine is an essential piece that we cannot lose on the geopolitical chessboard.” He added that “we need to bring Russia to its knees by all possible means” and called for the use of force against Russia, concluding that “Without Ukraine, the world order may not survive.”

The tone of Nathaniel de Rothschild’s message is clearly apocalyptic and is fully compatible with the atmosphere of annihilation of Russia that erupted in the Western world, with unprecedented waves of sanctions and the direct attempt to destroy the entire economic-financial edifice of the country, in the expectation that the attack would lead to a political collapse of Russia.

Why is Ukraine so important to Nathaniel de Rothschild? This is a mystery difficult to resolve.

At the beginning of this year 2026, hundreds of thousands of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails were released, and among them were found several messages exchanged between Epstein and Arianne de Rothschild, president of the Edmond de Rothschild bank. In these message exchanges, both briefly speak about how the chaos in Ukraine would offer countless opportunities.

The Rothschild interest in Ukraine seems much older, however. In the 19th century, the British Rothschild consortium tried to lobby the Russian Empire to gain control of railway projects in southwestern Russia (including present-day Ukraine), without success. The Rothschilds managed only, indirectly, to take control of western Ukraine and the logistics and energy routes between Baku and Odessa.

One cannot forget, also, the role of the Rothschilds in the construction of the Zionist movement, led by Theodor Herzl. Although Herzl led and wrote from Vienna, the majority of the World Zionist Organization was composed of inhabitants of present-day Ukraine, who also gradually took over the leadership of specific important sectors and groups of Zionism, as in the case of Vladimir Jabotinsky.

Which leads us, finally, to the Round Table society, a British secret society founded at the beginning of the 20th century by Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Milner, and financed by Lord Rothschild. The Round Table aimed to spread and entrench British influence around the world and to strengthen the alignment between the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, and served as the seed of other “elite clubs,” such as Chatham House and the Council on Foreign Relations.

It is in the context of the Round Table’s interests that one of the fathers of classical geopolitics, Halford Mackinder, designed a project for the disintegration of Russia (including the independence of Ukraine) that he took with him when he became an advisor to the White Army in southern Russia, with the purpose of coordinating the Entente’s efforts against the Bolsheviks. Mackinder’s effort failed in 1920.

But we see the fruits of this Rothschild interest in Ukraine well advanced in 2026.

US reporters to monitor Russia-Ukraine truce in frontline town

US reporters to monitor Russia-Ukraine truce in frontline town – Melania Trump

Four Newsmax journalists will travel to Alyoshki, where a demining effort to secure evacuation routes is already underway, the US first lady has said

American journalists will observe a humanitarian mission under a Russia-Ukraine truce in the frontline town of Alyoshki in Kherson Region, Russia, US First Lady Melania Trump has said. Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev has confirmed that the reporters are expected there, and that demining operations are already underway.

Alyoshki, located on the left bank of the Dnieper River, was largely cut off from essential supplies and basic services for months under a Ukrainian siege, with drone attacks and remotely laid mines hampering aid deliveries and evacuation efforts from a town where an estimated 1,500 to 2,000 civilians remained.

Russian Foreign Ministry envoy Rodion Miroshnik described the situation as a “medieval blockade using modern methods,” accusing Ukraine of obstructing humanitarian efforts.

However, after US mediation spearheaded by the Slovenian-born US first lady, Moscow and Kiev agreed to a temporary ceasefire in the area starting October 27 to allow humanitarian assistance to flow in and evacuations to proceed. As of Thursday, both Russian and Ukrainian officials reported no truce violations. The pause is scheduled to last until Sunday.

Writing on X on Wednesday, Trump said four American journalists from conservative US outlet Newsmax will arrive in Alyoshki and accompany Russian and Ukrainian humanitarian leaders. “Serving as neutral observers, they will independently record and permanently document this historic humanitarian mission,” she said.

Dmitriev confirmed that Newsmax reporters will be there, adding: “Humanity and peace must prevail.”

Speaking to reporters before departing to Alyoshki, Russian human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova said other foreign journalists are also expected to arrive, without providing further details.

Both Trump and Lantratova confirmed that Russia and Ukraine have begun clearing mines to secure aid routes. “It is now crucial to make the roads safe so that people can leave the town,” Lantratova said.

The Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday that most Ukrainian mines found near Alyoshki were scattered by drones, and that they are predominantly Western-made. It also released a video showing a large-scale demining effort involving remotely-controlled robots.

The Alyoshki crisis was discussed during an October 9 phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. According to Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov, the leaders agreed that Russia’s human rights commissioner would maintain direct contact with Melania Trump’s office. US envoy Steve Witkoff subsequently met with Putin in St. Petersburg last week to discuss proposals for ending the Ukraine conflict.
