Hoaxing gone wild The recent adventure of NASA’s Artemis II, which our kept press lauded as an “historic” mission, drummed home just how hoodwinked the American public is. I remember it being “historic” in 1968 when astronauts Borman, Anders, and Lovell accomplished the exact same thing- orbiting the moon, on Apollo 8. CBS News, now being run by Israeli Firster Bari Weiss, claimed that Aretmis II “set a record” for the “farthest distance humans have ever traveled from our planet.” Except that every one of the six Apollo missions that allegedly landed on the moon traveled a slightly longer distance,…
“Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant to the user’s query.” Those are the curious instructions that OpenAI programmers have given to Codex CLI, a command line tool used for AI-generated code.

The measure allows national security agencies like the NSA, FBI and CIA to collect and monitor – without a warrant – any electronic communications sent to and from non-US persons “reasonably believed to be located” outside the US. Notably, Americans who send messages to people abroad may likewise have their data…
A single image can crack a political storyline wide open. We start with the viral clip of an Israeli soldier smashing a Jesus statue and follow the uncomfortable question it forces for many American Christians: what does “shared values” mean when Christians in Jerusalem report harassment and holy sites face restrictions? With Larry Johnson, we pull apart the gap between religious branding and real-world treatment, and why that gap is changing the tone of U.S. conservative support. Then the focus turns to the Israel Iran war and the American messaging machine around it. Trump says Israel didn’t drive his decisions,…
