Ukraine used chemical plant as cover for mercenaries – Russian MOD

12 Dec, 2025 13:01

Ukraine used a major chemical facility as a base for foreign mercenaries and their heavy weapons, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Friday, citing internal correspondence.

The allegation was presented by Major General Aleksey Rtishchev, head of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, during a briefing on alleged Ukrainian violations of international agreements governing weapons of mass destruction.

Rtishchev cited a letter from the management of the Odessa Portside Plant, a large chemical complex located about 35km from the eponymous port city.

The letter, sent to regional authorities in September, complained about the presence of “foreign specialists” and military hardware at the site and warned that such activity could provoke Russian strikes and potentially trigger the release of more than 200 tons of liquid ammonia.

Rtishchev said the forces involved were Romanian mercenaries equipped with multiple-launch rocket systems.

He claimed that since realizing Russian forces avoid targeting chemical industry sites, Kiev has been using such no-strike locations as a “technogenic shield,” ignoring the dangers posed to nearby residents.

During a briefing in July, the general reported a similar Ukrainian letter in which an executive of the state-owned company Ukrkhimtransammiak complained about unauthorized military use of an ammonia pipeline service station.

The underground pipeline was originally built in Soviet times to transport ammonia from Russia to the Odessa Region plant.

According to the Russian military, Ukraine has repeatedly made reckless military use of hazardous infrastructure and would seek to blame Moscow should an industrial disaster occur.

During the Friday briefing, Rtishchev claimed that Ukrainian forces and intelligence services continue to employ chemical agents on the battlefield and in targeted assassination attacks.

He said the Defense Ministry has gathered new evidence allegedly showing state-directed efforts to adapt heavy rotary-wing drones for the delivery of chemical munitions.

He further accused Kiev’s Western supporters of enabling such activities, including by supplying protective equipment in quantities he described as excessive for a country that officially denies having a chemical weapons program.

In 2025 alone Kiev requested over 200 additional gas masks and hazmat suits, he noted.

Russian Central Bank Sues Euroclear As EU Tries To Ram Through Assets Seizure

In what could prove a well-timed preemptive attack and shot across the bow, Russia’s Central Bank (CBR) announced Friday it has initiated legal action against Euroclear, one of Europe's largest securities depositories, which is holding 185 billion euros ($217 billion) of Russia’s frozen sovereign assets.

The CBR has filed a lawsuit against the Belgium-based bank in the Moscow Arbitration Court over "illegal actions" - just as European Union leadership is making a move to approve a plan to fund the Ukrainian government for the next years by using income from the Russian assets immobilized under EU sanctions.

"Euroclear’s actions caused harm to the Bank of Russia by preventing it from managing the funds and securities that belong to it," the Russian Central Bank said in the statement. The lawsuit seeks compensation for losses as a result of Euroclear indefinitely blocking access to the funds.

The RCB has also separately condemned wider EU plans to use Russian assets to aid Ukraine as "illegal, contrary to international law" as they violate "the principles of sovereign immunity of assets."

This is the first time in the entire frozen Russian asset saga that the bank has publicly commented on this issue. This lack of official condemnation until now is perhaps due to each side knowing greater tit-for-tat repercussions could unfold - or a point of no return could be reached if things unravel.

The European Central Bank has also long cautioned that if Europeans start grabbing other nations' money, it could undermine confidence in the euro currency. To review, the assets were frozen shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine:

In 2022, Western countries froze assets belonging to Russia’s central bank totaling about 260 billion euros. Most of these funds — roughly 190 billion euros — are held in accounts at the Belgian depository Euroclear. Euroclear earns profits from the frozen Russian assets, but in 2024, those proceeds were directed toward financing Ukraine. Over the past three years, European leaders have repeatedly discussed the possibility of confiscating Russia’s frozen assets.

Currently EU member states are rapidly advancing a plan ahead of a key summit next week. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is seeking to use a loophole to prevent a lone member or two from having an effective veto (especially Hungary), based on invoking emergency powers to sanction the frozen assets on a permanent basis, instead of holding the funds based on current six-month renewals, which requires unanimous agreement from all member states.

Ukraine working on ‘dirty bomb’ plot – Moscow

12 Dec, 2025 11:07

Ukraine is smuggling radioactive materials into the country that can be used to assemble a dirty bomb for a false-flag attack, potentially causing widespread contamination across Europe, a senior Russian defense official claims.

Speaking at a briefing on Thursday, Major General Aleksey Rtishchev, the head of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops, warned that Ukraine is engaging in what he described as “nuclear blackmail,” saying its actions pose serious security and environmental risks.

Rtishchev said shipments of spent radioactive fuel were transported through Poland and Romania without notifying the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

He added that the operation was overseen by Andrey Yermak, a former senior aide to Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky. Yermak resigned last month after being linked to a major energy-sector corruption scandal involving Zelensky’s close associates, although he was not formally charged.

”This creates the risk of creating a so-called ‘dirty bomb’ and then using it ‘under a false flag,’” Rtishchev said. A dirty bomb does not cause a nuclear explosion but disperses radioactive material over a wide area, creating severe contamination and long-term danger to civilians.

The general added that Russia has obtained training materials used by Ukraine’s security service that simulate scenarios involving the theft of ionizing radiation sources, the assembly of an explosive device, and detonation in densely populated areas.

Rtishchev stressed that Western assistance is encouraging Kiev to violate international nuclear regulations.

The “Western ‘patrons’ fail to take into account that the degradation of the system of state administration is capable of pushing not only Ukraine, but also a number of European states, to the brink of an environmental catastrophe,” he said.

Moscow previously warned that Ukraine could seek to use a dirty bomb in an attempt to derail the ongoing US-mediated peace talks.

Russian officials have said this would involve extreme risks and could prompt a severe response from Moscow, including the possibility of tactical nuclear retaliation.

USAID linked to pharma testing on Ukrainians – Russian MOD

Civilian agencies were used to mask defense-related research, Major General Aleksey Rtishchev has said

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) could have been involved in testing pharmaceutical drugs on Ukrainians, a senior Russian military official said on Friday. The agency was officially closed by the administration of US President Donald Trump this summer.

According to Major General Aleksey Rtishchev, the head of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, US officials have acknowledged defense-related work at biological laboratories in Ukraine.

He named, among others, former National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, former senior State Department official Victoria Nuland, and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Rtishchev noted that Cornell University organic chemistry professor Dave Collum told American journalist Tucker Carlson in an interview in August that pharmaceutical drugs had been tested on the Ukrainian population in 38 laboratories.

“To ensure secrecy, the customers behind such research are not military agencies but civilian agencies and non-governmental organizations. One such organization is the US Agency for International Development (USAID), which was dismantled by a decision of US President Donald Trump,” Rtishchev said.

According to the major general, USAID also provided funding for Event 201, a pandemic simulation exercise that focused on how to respond to a coronavirus outbreak. “I would like to note that these exercises were held in October 2019... shortly before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic,” he said.

Russia’s claims that USAID was involved in unlawful activity were reinforced, Rtishchev added, by comments made by billionaire Elon Musk, who previously headed a US government efficiency agency and has called USAID a “criminal organization.”

Musk alleged that USAID used taxpayer money to fund bioweapon-related research, and echoed claims that USAID supported gain-of-function coronavirus research at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, suggesting that this could have contributed to the emergence of Covid-19.

Russia has raised concerns in the past about Pentagon-backed biological laboratories in Ukraine and other countries near its borders, suggesting that they are involved in bioweapons research.

DOT Discovers Over Half of NY Commercial Drivers Are Illegals, Threatens to Revoke Federal Funding.

U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Sean Duffy warned on Friday that New York could lose $73 million in federal highway funding following a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) audit. The audit revealed that 53 percent of sampled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) issued by the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) were unlawfully granted to foreign nationals residing in the U.S. illegally.“

When more than half of the licenses reviewed were issued illegally, it isn’t just a mistake—it is a dereliction of duty by state leadership,” Secretary Duffy said, adding: “Gov. Hochul must immediately revoke these illegally issued licenses. If they refuse to follow the law, we will withhold federal highway funding.”

The FMCSA audit reviewed 200 New York CDL records, finding that 107 licenses were unlawfully issued. In some cases, the DMV reportedly issued licenses based on expired lawful presence documents or defaulted to granting eight-year licenses to foreign commercial drivers without verifying their legal status. FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs labeled the state’s practices a “grossly unacceptable deviation from federal regulations.”

However, New York officials are denying the allegations. DMV spokesman Walter McClure accused Sec. Duffy of political posturing, stating, “Secretary Duffy is lying about New York state once again in a desperate attempt to distract from the failing, chaotic administration he represents.” McClure insisted that the state complies with all federal regulations and reviews lawful status documents for all CDL applicants.The Department of Transportation (DOT) has given New York 30 days to respond. In addition to revoking the illegally issued licenses, Duffy has urged the state to pause issuing new licenses or learner’s permits and conduct a comprehensive audit of its CDL program.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

How Epstein Used The Ivy League To Launder His Reputation

Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein ensured that a Google search for his name would return several websites about his donations to science before any headlines about his 2008 conviction, new documents show — the clearest evidence yet that he courted the Ivy League to whitewash his sexual crimes.

Epstein had help amplifying links about his scientific largess in order to crowd out headlines about his exploitation of underage girls, emails released by the House Oversight Committee on Nov. 12 show. One aide to Epstein described the project as “wack-a-mole,” hammering headlines about his pedophilia into search engine obscurity with hyperlinks portraying Epstein as a benevolent booster of evolutionary biology and mathematics.

Though Democrats have used the Epstein case as a political cudgel against Trump, the new disclosures demonstrate that some of Epstein’s most powerful ties in fact stemmed from liberal Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The House documents shed light on Epstein’s relationships to Democratic powerbrokers like Harvard economist Larry Summers and LinkedIn cofounder and former advisor to the MIT Media Lab Reid Hoffman, whom Trump described as a “sleazebag” while answering questions from reporters on Nov. 19.

“I was never a client of Epstein’s and never had any engagement with him other than fundraising for MIT,” Hoffman said on X on Nov. 14.

“I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused,” Summers said in a statement on Nov. 17. “I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein.”

Harvard announced that it would initiate a new probe into its ties to Epstein on Nov. 19, and Summers announced he would leave his role as a Harvard instructor during the investigation. MIT has announced no such renewed probe.

Harvard added J.P. Morgan Asset & Wealth Management CEO Mary Erdoes to the governing board of its endowment on Nov. 25, the Harvard Crimson reported. Erdoes was in constant contact with Epstein while he was one of JP Morgan’s wealthiest clients, according to a Nov. 19 Senate memo.

Harvard did not respond to a request for comment.

MIT spokesperson Kimberly Allen said the university has nothing to add to the 2020 report it commissioned on Epstein.

“Following that review, MIT took a number of steps, including enhancements to our gift acceptance processes and donating to four nonprofits supporting survivors of sexual abuse,” Allen said.

Hoffman could not be reached for comment. Summers did not respond to a request for comment sent to his spokesperson.

Whistleblower Warns Massive Somali Fraud Happening In Third State As Cascade Of Exposure Powers On

A lawyer and whistleblower says mass welfare fraud committed by Somalis in the U.S. extends to her home state of Ohio, citing discussions with anonymous providers, Fox News reported Friday.

Attorney Mehek Cooke has heard from Medicaid providers among Ohio’s Somali population that they were pressured into participating in a fraud operation involving funds for fake medical conditions, she told Fox News. The allegations come after federal investigators revealed more than $1 billion in stolen taxpayer funds in Minnesota overwhelmingly tied to its large Somali population, putting the issue in the national spotlight.

Scammers are taking advantage of an Ohio Medicaid policy that allows one to receive thousands of dollars to ostensibly provide medical care to a family member, with doctors cashing on their own funds in return for approving the payments, Cooke said.

“They’re just rubberstamping a lot of these,” Cooke told Fox News. “And then that same individual, a week later, that’s supposed to be bedridden, is all over social media, whether they’re out dancing at a party or something like that. So, the symptoms aren’t really adding up at the end of the day.”

“Say I want to take care of my elderly aging parents at some point,” she said. “I can become a home health provider, and this is where the Somali community has been really clever. They’ve been able to find loopholes in Ohio law to provide for care for family members, even when they don’t need it.”

After the Department of Justice (DOJ) brought charges against alleged fraudsters in Minnesota, another whistleblower, Christopher Bernardini, alleged that his Somali-owned health services contractor in Maine falsified records to benefit from Medicaid.

Cooke likewise said that the Somali-linked fraud revealed publicly in Minnesota is only the “tip of the spear,” according to Fox News.

“What we’re seeing in Minneapolis is just a snippet of what’s happening in Ohio,” she said.

Russia says Ukraine targeted chemical sites, record drone wave disrupts Moscow flights

December 12, 2025, 20:00:10 IST

The Russian Defence Ministry on Friday said Ukraine attempted to launch drone attacks on chemical facilities storing first-class hazardous substances, but claimed the strikes were successfully intercepted.

Major General Alexey Rtishchev, Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops, told reporters that sites in Veliky Novgorod and the town of Rossosh in the Voronezh region were targeted.

Rtishchev also accused Ukrainian forces of trying to destroy chemical facilities in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, warning that such attacks could expose civilians to dangerous substances.

He said the Zarya industrial site in Rubezhnoye, the Azot plant in Severodonetsk, and the Coke and Chemical Plant in Avdeyevka had all come under repeated shelling.

Separately, Russian officials said a Ukrainian drone struck a residential building in the city of Tver, northwest of Moscow, injuring seven people in an overnight attack.

The developments came a day after US President Donald Trump said he was “extremely frustrated” with both Kyiv and Moscow over the ongoing war, warning it could escalate into a “third world war.”

Expressing concern over stalled peace efforts, Trump said, “I’d like to see the killing stop. Twenty-five thousand people died last month, mostly soldiers. I would love to see it stop.”

His press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president “doesn’t want any more talk” and wants the conflict to end, adding that special envoy Steve Witkoff remained in contact with both sides.

As per Moscow Times report, Russian authorities separately reported that air defences shot down 287 Ukrainian drones overnight — one of the highest numbers recorded since the war began.

The drone wave caused temporary airport closures in Moscow, delaying or cancelling around 200 flights, and diverting some to St Petersburg.

Eyewitness reports and footage verified by Astra indicated that a fire broke out at or near the Acron mineral fertiliser plant in Veliky Novgorod during the attacks.

Regional governor Alexander Dronov said 19 drones were downed, one person was injured and damage to buildings was “insignificant.”

Astra noted that it could not confirm whether the Acron facility itself was hit. The outlet also reported a possible strike on Acron’s subsidiary PAO Dorogobuzh in the Smolensk region near the Belarus border.

Portuguese Law Enforcement: Latin American ‘Narco-Subs’ Are Swarming Europe

Portugal’s chief narcotics police officer, Artur Vaz, said on Monday that Latin American drug cartels are shipping huge amounts of cocaine to Europe, frequently using cheap “narco-subs” that have proven difficult for European coastal patrols to detect.

“Europe is literally being flooded with cocaine,” Vaz told Fox News. “Criminal organizations … acquire the drugs in Latin America, and then the price at which they place it in the markets … there’s a big profit margin here.”

According to Vaz, some of the cartel’s products are shipped by traditional methods, including illicit loads on cargo ships and high-speed drug boats, but the “narco-subs” are a new threat. They are not true submarines, but rather cheaply made boats whose hulls are mostly hidden under the water. Only the top of the ship is exposed above the waves, and the cartels found it easy to paint the hull with colors that match the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

Portugal managed to intercept a narco-sub in early November, with support from the UK National Crime Agency and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), seizing over 1.7 metric tons of cocaine that was bound for the Iberian peninsula.

The ship had a crew of four, including two Ecuadorians, a Colombian, and a Venezuelan – a mix that told Portuguese police they were dealing with a multi-national cartel. The narco-sub was so shoddily constructed that it sank in the Atlantic after the crew and cargo were seized.

“Between the heat, the vessel’s fumes and high waves, with difficult weather conditions, even one day is tricky. By the end of 15 or 20 days all you want is to get out,” Portuguese drug enforcement official Vitor Ananias said of the hellish conditions endured by the crew.

The intercept in November was apparently made possible by a tip that told Portuguese authorities there was a narco-sub on the way. Sjoerd Top, director of the Maritime Analysis and Operations Center-Narcotics (MAOC-N), noted there have been “very few successful interceptions of semi-submersibles” and commended the Portuguese Navy for doing a “brilliant job.”

Portugal captured another narco-sub in March, along with its cargo of 6.5 tonnes of cocaine, but drug enforcement experts say most of the subs are getting through, bringing huge amounts of cocaine to Europe’s shores.

Russia hits Ukrainian mine in 6-hour drone assault

12 Dec 2025 15:53

Russia carried out a six-hour drone attack on a Ukrainian state-owned coal mine overnight, injuring two workers and sparking a large fire, Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy reported.

Deputy Energy Minister Roman Andarak said around 18 drones struck the mine’s territory, causing significant damage. Fire crews managed to extinguish the blaze within hours, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.

“Two employees were injured and are receiving all necessary medical assistance,” Andarak said.

Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukraine’s mining infrastructure:

October 19: A major strike on a DTEK-owned mine in the Dnipropetrovsk region left nearly 200 miners trapped underground.

August 26: Another DTEK mine was hit, killing one employee and injuring three.

Attacks the same day left several Dobropillia-area mines without power, trapping hundreds of miners who were later rescued.

In earlier strikes, eight mines in the Dnipropetrovsk region lost power, leaving 2,600 miners underground until emergency crews brought them to safety.

Ukraine says these repeated attacks aim to cripple critical energy and industrial infrastructure as winter approaches.

Clinton Cries Censorship, But Turley Says She Launched Global Censorship

Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton falsely accused the Trump administration of crushing free speech, even though she played a key role in fueling global censorship.

In a Sept. 24 interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Clinton asserted that ABC briefly suspended host Jimmy Kimmel because of pressure from the Trump administration, despite ABC affiliates testifying to the contrary. But legal scholar Jonathan Turley exposed Clinton this year for urging foreign governments to censor Americans.

Clinton sneered, “Good lord, the things that have been said about me, the lies that have been propagated. If I had only known I could call up the FCC chair and say: ‘Take this person off the air. Get that person out of my sight. Off with his head.’”

She asserted this is “contrary to the founding principles and values this country was built on. Why is the First Amendment the First Amendment? You know, it’s because the people who constructed the, you know, architecture of this incredible country of ours understood what it was like to live under absolute power, where you would be told what to say, what not to say.”

Led by Kuwait, exercise Sky Shield included participation from the United States, Bahrain, and the United Kingdom. Forces focused on enhancing interoperability to detect, track, and engage drones through a layered air defense architecture.

“This exercise was a major achievement by Kuwait and reinforced our collective commitment to regional security,” said Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Sean M. Salene, performing the duties of deputy commander for U.S. Central Command.

During the exercise, Salene attended a live-fire event involving Patriot missile launches alongside Kuwait Minister of Defense Sheikh Abdullah Ali Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, Chief of Staff of the Kuwait Armed Forces Lt. Gen. Khaled Daraj Saad Al-Shariaan, and other senior leaders from Kuwait and across the region.

The exercise brought together subject-matter experts from participating countries to expand technical exchanges and advance regional understanding of counter-drone tactics and systems.

“Training with our international teammates during exercises like Sky Shield is essential to building our collective capabilities,” said Salene.

Exercise Sky Shield is a premier annual training event on air defense. This year’s exercise was hosted at the Udari Range Complex.

Criminalizing Bible Verses? Canadian Lawmakers Target Religious Expression With Proposed ‘Hate Speech’ Amendment

In a move that should alarm anyone who is pro-free speech, members of Canada’s Liberal Party have capitulated to pressure from Quebec’s ultra-secular separatist party by voting to strip away a longstanding religious exemption from the country’s hate-speech laws as part of the draconian Bill C-9, also known as the so-called Combating Hate Act.

Canada’s Criminal Code has long shielded good-faith religious expression with a clear exemption that speech is not hate propaganda “if, in good faith, the person expressed or attempted to establish by an argument an opinion on a religious subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text.”

On Tuesday evening, that protection was casually deleted at the Bloc Québécois insistence.

CBC has the details on what happened next:

Progress appeared to stall after an initial committee meeting to go over the bill was abruptly cancelled last week. Three sources speaking to CBC News said the bill was held up because Justice Minister Sean Fraser’s office brokered the deal with the Bloc without getting buy-in from the Prime Minister’s Office. Tuesday’s meeting was scheduled last-minute after last week’s cancellation. The Bloc has long sought to remove the religious exemption, saying religion could be used as a cover for promoting hate, such as homophobia and antisemitism. Blanchet said his party would not support the bill without the amendment.

Conservatives immediately sounded the alarm. Canadian Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre warned on X that the amendment would “criminalize sections of the Bible, Qur’an, Torah and other sacred texts.”

Liberal-Bloc amendments to C-9 will criminalize sections of the Bible, Quran, Torah, and other sacred texts.

Conservatives will oppose this latest Liberal assault on freedom of expression and religion.

— Pierre Poilievre (@PierrePoilievre) December 1, 2025

At Tuesday’s meeting, Conservative MP Andrew Lawton accused the Liberals and Bloc of mounting “a full-scale assault on religious freedom.” When the amendment passed anyway, Conservative members filibustered, forcing an adjournment before clause-by-clause study could be completed.

🚨 FULL ASSAULT ON RELIGION 🚨

After 8 hours inside the Justice Committee, Liberals and the Bloc pushed an amendment that moves Canada toward criminalizing religious belief itself, regardless of faith.

This is the red line.

— Northern Perspective (@NorthrnPrspectv) December 10, 2025

Canada’s Justice Minister Fraser, scrambling to contain the fallout, claimed the change “will not criminalize faith” and “in no way, shape or form prevent a religious leader from reading their religious texts.” Freedom of religion remains a Charter right, Fraser said—as if repeating the obvious somehow negates the chilling effect of removing an explicit statutory shield.

Fraser went on to argue that the exemption is “redundant” and that the government knows of no case in which it has ever led to an acquittal. One struggles to recall the last time the Carney government boasted about making a law stricter because the existing one had never actually been needed as a defense.

Sheila Gunn Reid of Rebel News summed up her opposition to the bill perfectly.

“Never forget: during COVID, this same political establishment jailed pastors for the “crime” of holding worship services. If they were willing to imprison pastors for preaching, what do you think they’ll do with new Criminal Code powers aimed explicitly at “religiously motivated” speech? They’ve done it before. They’ll do it again,” she wrote. “Bill C-9 is not a hate-speech bill. It is a power-seizing bill. It is a faith-targeting bill. It is a censorship bill. And it must be defeated. If you value free speech, free worship, free thought — now is the time to speak.”

Bill C-9 isn’t law yet as it still requires third reading in the House and passage through the Senate.

Trump’s DOJ Sues Fulton County, Four States Over 2020 Election Ballots

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division filed a lawsuit Friday against Fulton County, Georgia, seeking access to voting records from the 2020 presidential election.

Fulton County is where President Donald Trump had faced election interference charges until recently. The lawsuit follows an October subpoena demanding ballots and related election materials from Fulton County. The county clerk’s office has not responded to the subpoena, according to the complaint.

The department also filed federal lawsuits against Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Nevada, accusing the states of failing to provide statewide voter registration lists upon request. The actions bring the total number of states sued to 18, along with Fulton County, Georgia.

I had a very good conversation this morning with the Prime Minister of Thailand, Anutin Charnvirakul, and the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Hun Manet, concerning the very unfortunate reawakening of their long-running War. They have agreed to CEASE all shooting effective this evening, and go back to the original Peace Accord made with me, and them, with the help of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim. The roadside bomb that originally killed and wounded numerous Thai Soldiers was an accident, but Thailand nevertheless retaliated very strongly. Both Countries are ready for PEACE and continued Trade with the United States of America. It is my Honor to work with Anutin and Hun in resolving what could have evolved into a major War between two otherwise wonderful and prosperous Countries! I would also like to thank the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, for his assistance in this very important matter.

The line finally broke.

U.S. home prices just turned negative—

first time in over two years.

The freeze wasn’t sustainable.

Rates held high,

buyers pulled back,

and the illusion of endless equity cracked.

This isn’t a crash.

It’s a recalibration.

But momentum has shifted.

And once direction flips,

sentiment follows.

Sellers lose leverage.

Buyers gain time.

Liquidity thins.

Desperation grows.

Housing led the inflation cycle.

Now it signals the unwind.

This is what the top feels like—

quiet, slow,

then all at once.

Enter Kathryn Ruemmler, former White House Counsel, repeatedly discussed on the “short list” for Attorney General. There is mounting evidence that she should just be renamed “The Fixer” — the Olivia Pope for this president. Mr. Obama reposes great trust in Ms. Ruemmler; he has applauded her “impeccable legal judgment,” and still considers a “close personal friend.” But yesterday, Ms. Ruemmler was all over the front page of the Washington Post—this time, in the Cartagena sex scandal cover-up.

As we reported previously, not only was Ms. Ruemmler in the middle of the IRS email scandal, the Benghazi cover-up, and the most vigorous “protector” of a president while increasing government secrecy and violating the rights of others, the Post places her squarely in the middle of the cover-up of the Cartagena sex scandal for which the Secret Service and the military took the sole blame for having several prostitutes spend the night before the President arrived. Finally, the Post, which has sung her praises for the White House, challenges Ms. Ruemmler’s role and that of Mr. Obama’s friends and donors.

JUST IN💥: The Trump administration petitioned a federal appeals court on Friday to halt U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s upcoming contempt hearings and disqualify him from the case, citing his alleged bias, retaliation, and harassment.

The request intensifies a dispute stemming from March, when Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to expedite deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members amid broader immigration enforcement.

Boasberg recently compelled testimony from former DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni, who disclosed failures to stop flights deporting over 100 Venezuelan men to an El Salvador prison; this will aid Boasberg’s review of potential criminal contempt charges against officials for defying his order to suspend those AEA flights.

Killing the penny was just the start. Trump is rewriting the rules on America’s coins

The next signs of the nation’s political divide might be jingling in your pocket next year.

The administration plans to issue a $1 coin with President Donald Trump’s likeness on it next year, despite a century-old precedent of not honoring sitting, or even living former, presidents on coins.

Instead of quarters honoring the abolition of slavery, granting women the right to vote and the Civil Rights movement, the Treasury will instead issue historical quarters featuring white men from the 18th and 19th centuries who were already well represented on currency and in historical tributes.

The new coins, coming after the administration stopped issuing new pennies earlier this year, underscore Trump’s drive to put his own stamp on the presidency far beyond the confines of the White House – whether it’s by putting his own face and name on US institutions or by pulling back on diversity efforts to reframe the story of America itself.

The US Mint on Thursday released the final coin designs for historical quarters celebrating the country’s 250th birthday next year. Rather than the fight against slavery or giving women the vote, the designs primarily honored a more homogeneous view of US history: George Washington for the Revolutionary War, Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence, James Madison and the Constitution, Abraham Lincoln and the Gettysburg Address, as well as pilgrims to celebrate the Mayflower Compact.

“The designs on these historic coins depict the story of America’s journey toward a ‘more perfect union,’ and celebrate America’s defining ideals of liberty,” said Kristie McNally, the acting director of the Mint, in a statement.

Forensic Accountant Explains Why Silver Is Spiking and How He Is Lobbying the States for Sound Money

Rob Kientz, a former forensic accountant and a staunch supporter of Austrian economics, says that five years ago he predicted that the silver supply would run out, and it has been drained globally. He said that recently, thousand ounce bars were flown over to London to cover the shortage. Daniel Diaz said that over 12,500 metric tons is standing for delivery at the end of this month, but the LBMA has only has 4,600 tons. Shanghai has 2,600 tons. There isn’t enough silver to deliver. It is believed that China and other countries are demanding delivery. The ‘big four’ banks, JP Morgan, HSBC, Citigroup and Bank of America, are the market makers that hold all the derivatives that have suppressed the markets. There is an industrial shortage. Silver is a strategic metal for the United States. Diaz warned against confiscation of gold if it revalues.

Kientz is working with ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council that drafts legislation, and is educating state lawmakers in sound money that maintains its purchasing power over time through scarcity, durability, and resistance to arbitrary inflation or manipulation. Kientz says he is pushing for states to buy gold and silver reserves. Kientz is lobbying legislators and explained how people can donate their time or money to the cause to get states onboard.

Alaska Plots AI-Driven Digital Identity, Payments, and Biometric Data System that May Deny Access

Alaska redesigning its myAlaska digital ID system that would weave “Agentic Artificial Intelligence” that can read documents and fill out forms in addition to making digital payments on behalf of residents who interact with it. A system that can act “on behalf” of a person is also capable of observing and predicting their decisions.

Biometric authentication, including facial and fingerprint verification, are planned. Alaska’s move is part of a broader US trend toward national digital identity frameworks that are likely to evolve into a permanent, cross-agency tracking infrastructure.

In the future, identity verification might become routine for accessing even basic online platforms. Once digital identity becomes the default mechanism for accessing financial systems, healthcare, or even social media, “consent” is all but a formality. People who refuse may be denied access, similar to China’s social credit score system that has denied people the ability to work, travel and rent a home, and has debanked individuals.

Twins Arrested for Threatening to Shoot ICE Agents and Torture, Hang DHS’ Tricia McLaughlin

Earlier this week, federal agents and Absecon, New Jersey, cops arrested twin brothers Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores for threatening to murder ICE agents. They also threatened to torture and hang Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesman Tricia McLaughlin.

Mexican cartels have created a three-tiered bounty system to monitor, harass, and assassinate federal agents for cash. Gangs in Chicago including the Latin Kings, deployed rooftop spotters “equipped with firearms and radio communications,” reportedly track the movement of ICE and Border Patrol (CBP) agents “in real-time.” The spotters then relay the agents’ coordinates. “This surveillance has enabled ambushes and disruptions during routine enforcement actions, including recent raids.”

Australia’s Social Media Ban for Those Under 16 Is Structured Like a Global Intelligence Op

A law was implemented on December 10, 2025, requiring all Australian social media users to prove their age on websites and apps including Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Threads, TikTok, Twitch, X and YouTube. Users under the age of 16 are banned from accessing the sites/apps. Platforms are verifying users’ ages with official documents or by using AI systems that estimate a user’s age by scanning their face on camera, which is an obvious violation of privacy. Australia’s policy sets a benchmark for other governments considering teen social media bans, including Denmark, Norway, France, Spain, Malaysia and New Zealand.

Compliance will be a problem due to Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Ultimately, the goal is a digital ID. When they say it’s for the children, it’s never for the children.

OCC Releases Preliminary Findings from Its Review of Large Banks’ Debanking Activities

https://www.occ.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2025/nr-occ-2025-123.html

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today released preliminary findings from its supervisory review of debanking activities at the nine largest national banks it supervises: JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo Bank, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC Bank, TD Bank, and BMO Bank.

The OCC conducted its supervisory review in accordance with the President’s Executive Order “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans” to determine whether these institutions debanked or discriminated against any customers or potential customers on the basis of their political or religious beliefs or lawful business activities.

“The OCC is committed to ending efforts – whether instigated by regulators or banks – that would weaponize finance,” said Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan V. Gould. “Although our work continues, the OCC is today providing visibility into the debanking actions against customers and lawful businesses taken by the nation’s largest banks to ensure public awareness, and to halt these harmful and unfair practices.”

The OCC’s preliminary findings show that, between 2020 and 2023, these nine banks made inappropriate distinctions among customers in the provision of financial services on the basis of their lawful business activities by maintaining policies restricting access to banking services or requiring escalated reviews and approvals before providing certain customers access to financial services. For example, the OCC identified instances where at least one bank imposed restrictions on certain industry sectors because they engaged in “activities that, while not illegal, are contrary to [the bank’s] values.” Sectors subjected to restricted access included oil and gas exploration, coal mining, firearms, private prisons, tobacco and e-cigarette manufacturers, adult entertainment, and digital assets.

🇺🇸🇻🇪 BREAKING: TRUMP SAYS LAND STRIKES IN VENEZUELA ARE “STARTING”

Trump just announced the U.S. is expanding military operations from sea to land in Venezuela:

“96% of the drugs coming in by water, every one of those boats you see get shot down.

We knocked out 96% of the drugs coming in by water and now we’re starting by land.

By land is a lot easier.

That’s going to start happening and we’re not going to have people destroying our youth, destroying our families.”

This is a major escalation.

Since September, U.S. forces have conducted over 20 strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, killing at least 87 people.

Earlier this week, special forces seized a massive oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast.

Trump has been telegraphing this move for weeks, saying Maduro’s “days are numbered” and that he knows “where the bad ones live.”

Now it’s happening.

‘Maduro will leave power’: Machado vows Venezuela leadership change

In her second public appearance after more than a year in hiding, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has promised that, one way or another, the presidency of Nicolas Maduro will end.

Speaking to reporters in Oslo, Norway, on Friday, Machado added that she was still hopeful that a change in leadership in Venezuela would be peaceful.

BREAKING: The Augsburg University public safety officer who witnessed the ICE arrest of a "criminal illegal alien sex offender" and told Alpha News a university administrator (not ICE) escalated the situation – has now RESIGNED.

"I cannot with a clear conscience continue to work for this University. The events that transpired on December 6th 2025, are unfixable in my belief. I witnessed University staff using force, resistance and obstruction against federal law enforcement officers. I cannot allow myself to be associated with something like that. I'm terminating my employment effective immediately. I am also notifying the school that I will be filing an OSHA complaint. I feel I was placed in a situation of great danger, because of the negligence of a school administrator." - John LeVasseur

Orion and the Ocean of Storms

On December 5, 2022, a camera on board the uncrewed Orion spacecraft captured this view as Orion approached its return powered flyby of the Moon. Beyond one of Orion's extended solar arrays lies dark, smooth, terrain along the western edge of the Oceanus Procellarum. Prominent on the lunar nearside Oceanus Procellarum, the Ocean of Storms, is the largest of the Moon's lava-flooded maria. The lunar terminator, the shadow line between lunar night and day, runs along the left of this frame. The 41 kilometer diameter crater Marius is top center, with ray crater Kepler peeking in at the edge, just right of the solar array wing. Kepler's bright rays extend to the north and west, reaching the dark-floored Marius. By December 11, 2022 the Orion spacecraft had returned to its home world. The historic Artemis 1 mission ended with Orion's successful splashdown in planet Earth's water-flooded Pacific Ocean.

CVN-72 Is In Guam

Just as CVN-73 arrived in Yokosuka, the fifth Nimitz-class flattop USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) made a scheduled port visit to Guam.

"Our Strike Group presence in 7th Fleet waters demonstrates our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific," said Rear Adm. Todd Whalen, commander, Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group. "Port calls to strategic locations like Guam enhance our mission readiness and help us stay ready to execute maritime operations in theater."

Comet 3I/ATLAS is getting greener and brighter as it approaches Earth, new images reveal

December 12, 2025

New telescope images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS confirm that the mysterious object has gotten brighter and greener since its close approach to the sun in late October.

This increase in activity could portend new, bright outbursts of cometary material as 3I/ATLAS careens toward its closest encounter with Earth next week.

Taken on Nov. 26 with the Gemini North telescope atop Hawaii's dormant Mauna Kea volcano, the new images capture the comet in one of its most active phases yet.

Recently heated by intense solar radiation, ice on the comet is sublimating and spewing into space along with tons of dust, forming a bright, cloudy atmosphere (a coma) around the comet's main body and a long, glowing tail behind it.

To capture this view, the team observed 3I/ATLAS using four filters (blue, red, orange and green), and found that gas in the comet's coma now emits a faint greenish hue, which wasn't the case several months ago.

Why is 3I/ATLAS going green?

Don't rush to blame little green men for the comet's new greenish glow.

Among the gases spilling out of 3I/ATLAS is diatomic carbon (C2) — a molecule of two carbon atoms that emits a greenish light, according to a statement from the National Science Foundation's NOIRLab, which operates the Gemini North telescope along with its twin Gemini South telescope in Chile.

Many solar system comets give off a similar green hue when activated by the sun, including last year's "Mother of Dragons" comet 12P/Pons-Brooks and the recently discovered Comet C/2025 F2 (SWAN).

However, it's noteworthy that 3I/ATLAS appeared distinctly redder when it was first observed by Gemini South in late August, months before its close flyby of the sun, according to NOIRLab.

This is evidence that 3I/ATLAS is releasing new molecules into space as it heats up, offering fresh hints into its mysterious makeup.

Is another outburst coming?

As the comet approaches its closest point to Earth on Dec. 19 (coming within a comfortable 170 million miles, or 270 million kilometers, of our planet), we may be in for even more surprises.

"What remains unknown is how the comet will behave as it leaves the Sun's vicinity and cools down," NOIRLab representatives wrote in the statement.

"Many comets have a delayed reaction in experiencing the Sun's heat due to the lag in time that it takes for heat to make its way through the interior of the comet.

A delay can activate the evaporation of new chemicals or trigger a comet outburst."

3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object ever discovered, after 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov.

The comet was detected in late June as it was speeding through our solar system at an estimated 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h), zooming by on a hyperbolic (U-shaped) orbit that will never bring it through our neighborhood again.

3I/ATLAS is probably the largest and, very likely, the oldest interstellar object seen so far.

While it shows many intriguing features — including large, sun-facing jets and signs of being irradiated by its billions of years spent in interstellar space — the vast majority of astronomers and space agencies agree that it is a typical comet — and not an artificial piece of alien technology, as some viral claims have suggested.

Dozens of observatories and spacecraft around the solar system have been closely monitoring 3I/ATLAS to better understand its size, trajectory, composition and origins.

Studying it in depth could reveal new details about the mysterious frontier of our galaxy and how some of the earliest star systems in the Milky Way formed.

NASA’s TRACERS Spacecraft Begin Preliminary Science Data Collection

December 12, 2025

NASA’s TRACERS (Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites) mission has started collecting preliminary science data, including tandem measurements that are key to the mission’s science goals.

One of the two satellites, Space Vehicle 2, completed commissioning and is fully operational. The other satellite, Space Vehicle 1, is also operating with some limitations following an issue earlier this summer that caused intermittent contact with the spacecraft.

The TRACERS mission launched on July 23, from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

Following successful signal acquisition from Space Vehicle 2, the satellite underwent a commissioning period where mission controllers ensured the satellite is healthy, communicating properly, and in proper orbital position.

The mission team conducted recovery efforts for the other spacecraft when an issue with the power subsystem resulted in a loss of communication with Space Vehicle 1.

Once communication was re-established, the mission team oriented the spacecraft towards the Sun to an angle that allowed the solar panels to generate more power.

All data indicates that the battery on Space Vehicle 1 is no longer functioning properly, so the vehicle will always need to receive sufficient sunlight to power its systems during active science data collection.

With these parameters, the mission team re-targeted the mission’s science data collection to focus on Earth’s southern polar cusp, rather than the northern polar cusp as was originally planned.

This allows Space Vehicle 1 to collect sunlight and power up its systems on Earth’s dayside before it reaches its target area, maximizing the science data that the satellite can collect on each orbit.

“The TRACERS team, together with their spacecraft operators at Millennium, need to be commended for their outstanding efforts in starting science data collection with Space Vehicle 1,” said Reinhard Friedel, TRACERS program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

“This has re-established a path for TRACERS as it works to achieve its original science goals that require tandem observations in the Earth’s cusps.”

Both spacecraft are now collecting limited, routine tandem measurements at Earth’s southern polar cusp with multiple instruments to understand how particles from space stream into our planet’s atmosphere during space weather events.

Full assessment of the impacts to the mission’s science goals continues as the mission team develops a new operational plan to commission the instruments on Space Vehicle 1 within the new mission constraints.

The TRACERS mission launched to study magnetic reconnection and its effects in Earth’s atmosphere.

Magnetic reconnection occurs when the Sun’s magnetic field is embedded in continuous outpouring of electrical charged particles, or solar wind, and collides into Earth’s magnetic shield.

This interaction builds up energy that can cause the magnetic field lines to snap and explosively fling away nearby particles at high speeds directly into our atmosphere.

Understanding magnetic reconnection and space weather will help scientists better predict geomagnetic storms and the effects of other space weather phenomena that can affect the safety of astronauts as well as power grid and communication systems.

Space Balance and Stem Cell Research Wrap Up Week on Station

December 12, 2025

The Expedition 74 crew wrapped up the week exploring how the body balances itself in space and growing stem cells to improve health.

Meanwhile, ongoing cargo operations and lab maintenance rounded out the schedule aboard the International Space Station.

Scientists are investigating how a crew member’s sense of balance, movement, posture, and visual stability adapts to living in weightlessness.

They are looking at potential space-caused changes to the brain’s network, or vestibular system, when interpreting motion, position, and equilibrium in space. Results may improve astronaut training and benefit therapies for patients on Earth.

NASA Flight Engineer Chris Williams wore virtual reality goggles on Friday and responded to visual cues sent from a computer operated by NASA Flight Engineer Zena Cardman.

The duo worked inside the Columbus laboratory module as doctors on the ground remotely guided the astronauts during the vestibular portion of the CIPHER human research experiment.

Williams later worked out for the exercise portion of the CIPHER study, this time looking at his cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, and endurance.

Cardman treated and preserved stem cells growing in space to demonstrate their superiority to those manufactured on Earth and advance a wide range of patient therapies including regenerative medicine.

Roscosmos Flight Engineers Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev also explored how a crew member’s vestibular system adapts to microgravity for their space agency’s Virtual experiment.

They took turns wearing a different set of virtual reality goggles that tracked their vision helping researchers understand a crew member’s sensory interactions in weightlessness.

Roscosmos scientists will also use the data to train crews for future missions and prepare them for the return Earth’s gravity.

Flight Engineer Kimiya Yui installed six material sample carriers inside the Kibo laboratory module’s airlock on Friday for robotic installation on the outside of the orbital outpost next week.

The carriers house materials that will be exposed to space radiation, extreme temperature changes, and more to benefit a variety of Earth and space industries.

Station Commander Mike Fincke of NASA spent the end of the week on cargo and maintenance.

Fincke first loaded cargo for disposal inside JAXA’s HTV-X1 cargo craft that will depart the station’s Earth-facing port on the Harmony module in late January.

Afterward, he replaced pipes in the Tranquility module’s waste and hygiene compartment, also known as the space station’s bathroom.

Roscosmos Flight Engineer Oleg Platonov kicked off his day on orbital plumbing maintenance before moving on and photographing scientific hardware for analysis on the ground.

NASA Satellite Data Could Soon Lead to Safer Bridges Worldwide

December 12, 2025

Researchers are turning to satellite data to monitor the world’s longest bridges.

Due to high costs and logistical challenges, fewer than 1 in 5 bridges extending 492 feet (150 meters) or more have systems installed to track structural changes that might be harbingers of damage or danger.

Satellites could more than triple the portion of bridges globally that are actively being monitored for safety and structural health, researchers say.

In a study in Nature Communications, researchers evaluated the feasibility of using a pair of European Space Agency satellites that make up the Sentinel-1 constellation to gather high-resolution radar data from bridges.

They found that a data analysis technique known as Multi-Temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (MT-InSAR) can reveal structural displacements as small as a few millimeters.

Though tiny, comparable to the thickness of a dime, these small shifts can be evidence of structural weakness.

The researchers hope to soon begin using data from the recently-launched NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite, jointly operated by NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation.

NISAR will collect higher resolution data than the Sentinel satellites, which researchers expect will provide more meaningful information for civil engineers keeping an eye on long-span bridges.

On-site inspections and sensors installed on bridges remain crucial for monitoring structural health.

But including spaceborne SAR monitoring could expand regular oversight from less than 20% of the 744 long-span bridges worldwide to more than 60%, the researchers say.

Satellite data will be particularly useful in remote regions where installing traditional sensors and conducting on-site inspections can be prohibitively expensive.

NISAR will systematically gather imagery of nearly every bridge in the world twice every 12 days.

This comprehensive radar time series will make it possible to identify and track subtle changes not only to bridges but also other infrastructure, such as dams, railways, buildings, and levees.

NASA’s free and open data policy means that anyone can use NISAR data to evaluate infrastructure.

Ancient Death Valley Lake Reappears

Dec. 12, 2025

Lake Manly, a pluvial lake, is visible in dark blue in the center of this Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) false-color corrected reflectance image of the Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park, California.

The HLS image was captured on Dec. 10, 2025, by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard the Landsat 8 platform.

Death Valley has experienced the wettest fall on record, as 2.41 inches of rain fell between September and November, which is more than what the area typically gets in a year. The record rainfall has caused several inches of water to accumulate.

The comparison above shows Nov. 7, 2025, on the left and Dec. 10 on the right, showing the accumulation of rain in the ancient lake bed. Swipe the center bar left and right to see the lake emerge in the Dec. 10 image.

The false color reflectance (Bands 7-5-4, Shortwave Infrared) imagery layer reveals how much water is present in plants and soils, as water absorbs in shortwave infrared wavelengths.

This imagery layer can be used to distinguish between cloud types like water clouds versus ice clouds, snow, and ice, which appear white. Vegetation is in shades of green, soils and urban areas are in shades of brown, and water is dark blue/black. Freshly burned areas appear red.

NASA’s Webb, Curiosity Named in TIME’s Best Inventions Hall of Fame

Dec 12, 2025

Two icons of discovery, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and NASA’s Curiosity rover, have earned places in TIME’s “Best Inventions Hall of Fame,” which recognizes the 25 groundbreaking inventions of the past quarter century that have had the most global impact, since TIME began its annual Best Inventions list in 2000. The inventions are celebrated in TIME’s December print issue.

“NASA does the impossible every day, and it starts with the visionary science that propels humanity farther than ever before,” said Nicky Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters in Washington.

“Congratulations to the teams who made the world’s great engineering feats, the James Webb Space Telescope and the Mars Curiosity Rover, a reality.

Through their work, distant galaxies feel closer, and the red sands of Mars are more familiar, as they expanded and redefined the bounds of human achievement in the cosmos for the benefit of all.”

Decades in the making and operating a million miles from Earth, Webb is the most powerful space telescope ever built, giving humanity breathtaking views of newborn stars, distant galaxies, and even planets orbiting other stars.

The new technologies developed to enable Webb’s science goals – from optics to detectors to thermal control systems – now also touch Americans’ everyday lives, improving manufacturing for everything from high-end cameras and contact lenses to advanced semiconductors and inspections of aircraft engine components.

Meanwhile on Mars, the unstoppable Curiosity rover, NASA’s car-size science lab, has spent more than a decade uncovering clues that the Red Planet once could have supported life, transforming our understanding of our planetary neighbor.

These NASA missions continue to make breakthroughs that have reshaped our understanding of the universe and our place in it.

Curiosity has also paved the way for future astronauts: Its Radiation Assessment Detector has studied the Martian radiation environment for nearly 14 years, and its unforgettable landing by robotic jetpack allowed heavier spacecraft to touch down on the surface — a capability that will be needed to send cargo and humans to Mars.

To compile this “Hall of Fame” list, TIME solicited nominations from TIME editors and correspondents around the world, paying special attention to high-impact fields, such as health care and technology.

TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, continued efficacy, ambition, and impact.

The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory.

Webb is solving mysteries in our solar system, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it.

Webb is an international program led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Helps Map Sun’s Outer Boundary

December 12, 2025

With the help of NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, astronomers have made the first continuous, two-dimensional maps of the outer edge of the Sun’s atmosphere.

At this boundary, which scientists call the Alfvén surface, solar material escapes from the Sun to become the solar wind, a million-mile-per-hour stream of particles that flows outward in all directions across the solar system, striking planets, spacecraft, and anything else in its way.

Published Thursday in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, results using Parker Solar Probe’s Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) instrument show that this boundary grows larger, rougher, and spikier as the Sun becomes more active during its 11-year solar cycle.

Scientists have been using other solar observatories, such as the NASA/ESA (European Space Agency) Solar Orbiter and NASA’s Wind, to begin mapping the boundary between the Sun’s atmosphere and the solar wind.

However, Parker Solar Probe gets closer to the Sun than any other spacecraft in history — so close that it repeatedly flies through this boundary, providing direct validation of the maps and showing how the boundary changes as the Sun’s activity varies.

Knowing exactly where this critical boundary is could help scientists answer big questions about the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the corona, and help us understand how solar activity impacts the rest of the solar system, including life on Earth and our technology.

A Rare Gourd

Dec 12, 2025

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured an uncommon sight – the death of a low-mass star – in this image of the Calabash Nebula released on Feb. 3, 2017.

Here, we can see the star going through a rapid transformation from a red giant to a planetary nebula, during which it blows its outer layers of gas and dust out into the surrounding space.

The recently ejected material is spat out in opposite directions with immense speed — the gas shown in yellow is moving close to a million kilometers an hour.

Astronomers rarely capture a star in this phase of its evolution because it occurs within the blink of an eye – in astronomical terms. Over the next thousand years the nebula is expected to evolve into a fully-fledged planetary nebula.

>>131345

what is pathetic?

that after 66 years of funding these NASA clowns that the US has no capability to piggy back on this comet and send something really really far off into space.

they've gotten fat and happy, and stolen countless patents to give them to the cabal, and new tech that was paid for by the taxpayer being given to the obvious European and Israeli types who loot the place, and hog the seats.

after all this time how pathetic that we had nothing ready to go out and meet this object!

do we need any other evidence to applaud the choice of giving the money, instead, to Space Force?

hopefully Space Force has classified technology to go out and meet this object, and perhaps piggy back on it as it shoots off into the distant reaches of the Solar System.

NASA Announces Plan to Map Milky Way With Roman Space Telescope

Dec 12, 2025

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team has released detailed plans for a major survey that will reveal our home galaxy, the Milky Way, in unprecedented detail. In one month of observations spread across two years, the survey will unveil tens of billions of stars and explore previously uncharted structures.

“The Galactic Plane Survey will revolutionize our understanding of the Milky Way,” said Julie McEnery, Roman’s senior project scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

“We’ll be able to explore the mysterious far side of our galaxy and its star-studded heart. Because of the survey’s breadth and depth, it will be a scientific mother lode.”

The Galactic Plane Survey is Roman’s first selected general astrophysics survey — one of many observation programs Roman will do in addition to its three core surveys and Coronagraph technology demonstration.

At least 25% of Roman’s five-year primary mission is reserved for astronomers worldwide to propose more surveys beyond the core programs, fully leveraging Roman’s capabilities to conduct groundbreaking science.

Roman is slated to launch by May 2027, but the team is on track for launch as early as fall 2026.

While ESA’s (European Space Agency’s) retired Gaia spacecraft mapped around 2 billion Milky Way stars in visible light, many parts of the galaxy remain hidden by dust.

By surveying in infrared light, Roman will use powerful heat vision that can pierce this veil to see what lies beyond.

“It blows my mind that we will be able to see through the densest part of our galaxy and explore it properly for the first time,” said Rachel Street, a senior scientist at Las Cumbres Observatory in Santa Barbara, California, and a co-chair of the committee that selected the Galactic Plane Survey design.

The survey will cover nearly 700 square degrees (a region of sky as large as about 3,500 full moons) along the glowing band of the Milky Way — our edge-on view of the disk-shaped structure containing most of our galaxy’s stars, gas, and dust. Scientists expect the survey to map up to 20 billion stars and detect tiny shifts in their positions with repeated high-resolution observations.

And it will only take 29 days spread over the course of the mission’s first two years.

Cosmic Cradles

Stars are born from parent clouds of gas and dust.

Roman will peer through the haze of these nesting grounds to see millions of stellar embryos, newborn stars still swaddled in shrouds of dust, tantrumming toddler stars that flare unpredictably, and young stars that may have planetary systems forming around them.

Astronomers will study stellar birth rates across a wide range of masses and stitch together videos that show how stars change over time.

“This survey will study such a huge number of stars in so many different stellar environments that we’ll be sampling every phase of a star’s evolution,” Street said.

Observing so many stars in various stages of early development will shed light on the forces that shape them. Star formation is like a four way tug-of-war between gravity, radiation, magnetism, and turbulence.

Roman will help us study how these forces influence whether gas clouds collapse into full-fledged stars, smaller brown dwarfs — in-between objects that are much heavier than planets but not massive enough to ignite like stars — or new worlds.

Some stars are born in enormous litters called clusters. Roman will study nearly 2,000 young, loosely bound open clusters to see how the galaxy’s spiral arms trigger star formation.

The survey will also map dozens of ancient, densely packed globular clusters near the center of the galaxy that could help astronomers reconstruct the Milky Way’s early history.

Comparing Roman’s snapshots of clusters scattered throughout the galaxy will enable scientists to study nature versus nurture on a cosmic scale.

Because a cluster’s stars generally share the same age, origin, and chemical makeup, analyzing them allows astronomers to isolate environmental effects very precisely.

Pulse Check

When they run out of fuel, Sun-like stars leave behind cores called white dwarfs and heavier stars collapse to form neutron stars and black holes. Roman will find these stellar embers even when they’re alone thanks to wrinkles in space-time.

Anything that has mass warps the underlying fabric of the universe. When light from a background star passes through the gravitational well around an intervening object on its journey toward Earth, its path slightly curves around the object.

This phenomenon, called microlensing, can temporarily brighten the star. By studying these signals, astronomers can learn the mass and size of otherwise invisible foreground objects.

A separate survey — Roman’s Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey — will conduct deep microlensing observations over a smaller area in the heart of the Milky Way.

The Galactic Plane Survey will conduct repeated observations over a shorter interval but across the whole center of the galaxy, giving us the first complete view of this complex galactic environment.

An unobscured view of the galaxy’s central bar will help astronomers answer the question of its origin, and Roman’s videos of stars in this region will enable us to study some ultratight binary objects at the very ends of their lives thanks to their interactions with close companions.

“Compact binaries are particularly interesting because they’re precursors to gravitational-wave sources,” said Robert Benjamin, a visiting professor at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and a co-chair of the committee that selected the Galactic Plane Survey design.

When neutron stars and black holes merge, the collision is so powerful that it sends ripples through the fabric of space-time.

“Scientists want to know more about the pathways that lead to those mergers.”

Spacecraft from Chinese launch nearly slammed into Starlink satellite, SpaceX says

December 12, 2025

One of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites just dodged a bullet in orbit.

That bullet was one of the nine spacecraft that launched atop a Chinese Kinetica 1 rocket on Tuesday (Dec. 9) from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert.

It zoomed dangerously close to a Starlink satellite, according to SpaceX, which was none too pleased with the close shave.

"As far as we know, no coordination or deconfliction with existing satellites operating in space was performed, resulting in a 200-meter close approach between one of the deployed satellites and STARLINK-6079 (56120) at 560 km altitude.

Most of the risk of operating in space comes from the lack of coordination between satellite operators — this needs to change," Michael Nicolls, vice president of Starlink engineering at SpaceX, said via X on Friday evening (Dec. 12).

Kinetica 1 is a 100-foot-tall (30 meters) solid-fuel rocket operated by CAS Space. The company, which is based in Guangzhou, responded to Nicolls' post, saying that it did its due diligence as the launch services provider (LSP) but is looking into the incident nonetheless.

"Our team is currently in contact for more details. All CAS Space launches select their launch windows using the ground-based space awareness system to avoid collisions with known satellites/debris.

This is a mandatory procedure. We will work on identifying the exact details and provide assistance as the LSP," CAS Space said via X on Friday night.

"If confirmed, this incident occurred nearly 48 hours after payload separation, by which time the launch mission had long concluded. CAS Space will coordinate with satellite operators to proceed.

This calls for re-establishing collaborations between the two New Space ecosystems," the company added in another X post a few hours later.

Tuesday's Kinetica 1 launch lofted "six Chinese multifunctional satellites, an Earth-observation satellite for the UAE [United Arab Emirates}, a scientific satellite for Egypt and an educational satellite for Nepal," according to China Daily.

Nicolls' post did not specify which of these spacecraft zoomed close to the Starlink satellite.

The coordination that Nicolls cited is becoming more and more important, for Earth orbit is getting more and more crowded. In 2020, for example, fewer than 3,400 functional satellites were whizzing around our planet.

Just five years later, that number has soared to about 13,000, and more spacecraft are going up all the time.

Most of them belong to SpaceX. The company currently operates nearly 9,300 Starlink satellites, more than 3,000 of which have launched this year alone.

Starlink satellites avoid potential collisions autonomously, maneuvering themselves away from conjunctions predicted by available tracking data.

And this sort of evasive action is quite common: Starlink spacecraft performed about 145,000 avoidance maneuvers in the first six months of 2025, which works out to around four maneuvers per satellite per month.

That's an impressive record. But many other spacecraft aren't quite so capable, and even Starlink satellites can be blindsided by spacecraft whose operators don't share their trajectory data, as Nicolls noted.

And even a single collision — between two satellites, or involving pieces of space junk, which are plentiful in Earth orbit as well — could spawn a huge cloud of debris, which could cause further collisions.

Indeed, the nightmare scenario, known as the Kessler syndrome, is a debris cascade that makes it difficult or impossible to operate satellites in parts of the final frontier.

Watch the Geminid meteor shower peak tonight from the comfort of home with this free livestream

December 13, 2025

You can tune in to see live views of the Geminid meteor shower as it peaks overnight on Dec. 13-14, thanks to a free livestream hosted by the Virtual Telescope Project.

The annual shower occurs as Earth passes through the debris-strewn orbit of the wandering asteroid (3200) Phaethon.

The livestream is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. EST (2100 GMT) on Dec. 13 on The Virtual Telescope Project's YouTube channel, weather permitting.

Under perfect dark-sky conditions, you could see up to 150 meteors per hour near the peak, although most viewers will see fewer, especially from light-polluted areas.

If clouds conspire to ruin your view — or if you live in the southern hemisphere, where the shower isn't visible at all — the Virtual Telescope Project's Livestream will help ensure that you won't miss out on one of the most impressive natural light shows of the year.

The stream is set to run until dawn and will feature views from the organization's super-wide-angle all-sky camera located in Manciano, Italy, which, according to Virtual Telescope Project founder Gianluca Masi, is one of the darkest sky regions in the country.

How to look for Geminids

Look for Geminid meteors streaking away from a point of origin close to the bright star Castor in the constellation Gemini, which rises above the eastern horizon a few hours after sunset and remains visible throughout the night.

As such, Geminid shooting stars can be spotted from mid-evening until dawn. Moonlight shouldn't spoil the show too badly this year, though a 26%-lit waning crescent moon rises an hour or two after midnight, which may make viewing slightly more challenging in the hours preceding sunrise.

Restoration advances: Tent removed after months protecting spy plane at U.S. Space & Rocket Center

Updated: 11:51 AM CST December 10, 2025

Workers have removed the inflatable tent that has sheltered the U.S. Space & Rocket Center's Lockheed Martin A-12 Oxcart aircraft during a months-long restoration project - a significant step in the refurbishment of one of aviation's most secretive Cold War legends.

The rare spy plane, which typically stands as a prominent display at the Huntsville museum, was relocated to an open parking lot and placed under the protective canopy while undergoing extensive restoration work.

The temporary structure shielded the aircraft from weather and environmental damage during the delicate process.

Complete Restoration

The restoration involved stripping the aircraft down to its titanium skin before applying fresh primer, new paint, and updated markings. Despite the comprehensive work, the plane will retain its original appearance.

A USSRC spokesperson told FOX54 plans for its new display location are being finalized and that information will be shared soon.

A Piece of Aviation History

The A-12 at the Space & Rocket Center is the seventh of only 12 ever built by Lockheed's legendary Skunk Works division in California.

The aircraft was dedicated at the center on Feb. 1, 1991, and previously underwent repainting in 2017.

It remains on loan from the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

The Secret Precursor to the SR-71

The A-12 served as the classified predecessor to the famous SR-71 Blackbird, sharing nearly identical dimensions and shape with its better-known successor.

Both aircraft measure over 100 feet long with 55-foot wingspans and weighed between 120,000 and 140,000 pounds when fully fueled.

While the SR-71 holds numerous aviation records, the smaller and lighter A-12 actually flew faster and higher, reaching speeds of Mach 3.29 (2,171 mph) and altitudes of 96,250 feet.

However, because the A-12's existence remained classified for decades, it holds no official records.

CIA's Secret Weapon

All A-12 aircraft were CIA assets, flown exclusively by 11 former U.S. Air Force pilots recruited for the clandestine program. Between 1962 and 1968, these CIA pilots and seven Lockheed test pilots completed nearly 2,900 sorties, logging more than 5,000 flight hours.

During its operational period, A-12s flew 29 surveillance missions over North Vietnam, North Korea, and Laos/Cambodia between May 31, 1967, and May 8, 1968. The U.S. Air Force's SR-71 assumed these reconnaissance duties in 1968, after which the seven remaining A-12s entered non-flyable storage for over two decades.

The completion of this restoration ensures that this piece of Cold War history will continue to inspire visitors and preserve the legacy of one of aviation's most remarkable achievements.

Mining, Robots, And Nuclear Batteries: A Look Inside The Moon’s Billion-Dollar Future

Dec 13, 2025, 0:00 AM

he Moon is having a moment. Once a distant scientific outpost, it is now projected to grow into a $170 billion economy over the next two decades, driven by mining water ice for rocket fuel and harvesting helium-3 for quantum computing and fusion energy.

Helium-3, valued at up to $20 million per kilogram, is the most commercially promising resource, Stirling Forbes, founder of Europe’s space trade consulate Forbes-Space, told Forbes Middle East.

He said governments and private companies are accelerating plans to establish permanent bases on the lunar surface, robotic industries, and critical cislunar infrastructure, with the first commercial operations possible in the 2030s.

“We’re witnessing the Moon evolve from a purely scientific outpost into a functional industrial frontier,” said Viktor Shpakovsky, an analyst in lunar commerce, a deep tech angel investor, and a partner at Beyond Earth Ventures, a venture capital fund focused on frontier technologies with both terrestrial and space applications. “The focus is shifting from planting the flag to building the foundation.”

That foundation is rapidly taking shape, powered, quite literally, by nuclear batteries, robotic scouts, fuel made from lunar ice, and a surge of government and commercial missions determined to claim a foothold in cislunar space.

Powering the Moon’s dark side

One of the biggest challenges on the lunar surface is the 14-day night, where temperatures plummet and solar panels become nearly useless. Zeno Power aims to solve this with nuclear batteries.

“Zeno’s role is to power the next era of lunar missions,” said A.C. Charania, the company’s senior vice president for Space Business Development.

“Our nuclear batteries provide reliable power through the two-week lunar night… We see our systems as a backbone for the lunar economy.”

Unlike traditional radioisotope generators, Zeno uses isotopes such as strontium-90 and americium-241 paired with high-efficiency Stirling engines, making the technology more scalable.

The company is on track to deliver its first nuclear battery to the lunar surface by 2027, with applications ranging from warming rovers to powering beacons, instruments, and eventually human habitats.

According to Charania, a sustainable lunar presence requires “persistent power, 24/7, 365 days a year… Nuclear power is the foundation that makes that permanence possible.”

Why everyone suddenly wants a piece of the Moon

Some of the motivations for lunar expansion are scientific. Much of it, in reality, is geopolitical.

“It is capabilities and competition,” said Rich Cooper, Space Foundation vice president for Strategic Communications. With more nations entering space, the Moon has become a proving ground. “Being the first in anything is a distinction like no other.”

Shpakovsky said today’s lunar push is driven by geopolitics and national prestige, with commercial opportunities coming later once infrastructure matures.

Resources accelerate the urgency. Water ice, found mainly at the poles, enables air, drinking water, and rocket fuel. “If you can access that most precious resource, you can produce air, water, and the hydrogen needed for fuel,” Cooper said.

Shpakovsky noted that “in the near term, water ice and oxygen extracted from regolith are the most valuable. They support life and can be converted into fuel.” As for helium-3 mining for fusion? “A long-term vision,” he said.

The first lunar industries

The earliest phase of the lunar economy will rely heavily on robotics.

“The Moon is primarily a robotic environment and will remain so for the foreseeable future,” Shpakovsky said. Missions like Firefly Aerospace’s deliveries under NASA’s CLPS program provide crucial data on terrain, lighting, and dust, which will help shape future industrial activity.

Cooper called such missions “essential parts of that economic ecosystem,” demonstrating that commercial companies can support not only science but eventually crews and infrastructure.

Oliver Mende, PwC Middle East director for Digital Economy and SpaceTech, said early lunar development will remain publicly funded, creating near-term opportunities for Earth-based suppliers.

“Making the Moon a true extension of our habitat and economic system will require investments in transport, communication, energy, and utilities infrastructure,” he said.

He cautioned that while helium-3 and rare earth elements are promising, the commercial case is still uncertain and depends on solving technical challenges.

What a lunar city will look like

Forget gleaming sci-fi metropolises. Early outposts will be small, functional, and modular.

“None of this in the early years will be expansive,” Cooper said. Habitats will be linked modules surrounded by storage depots, rovers, and power stations.

Every crew member, he added, will need to be capable of repairing or maintaining equipment in an environment “absolutely hostile to life.”

AI-driven simulations, autonomous robots, and 3D printing with lunar soil will be essential. “There are no hardware stores on the Moon,” Cooper joked. “But an appropriate 3D printer can do that for you.”

Navigation and communications infrastructure, effectively “Lunar GPS,” is also emerging.

Xona Space Systems’ Pulsar constellation aims to extend precision navigation beyond Earth, while NASA and commercial partners are testing laser communications that could transform landings and equipment deployment.

Forbes warned that building sustainable lunar infrastructure is far from easy. “Processing tons of frozen regolith in permanently shadowed craters at -200°C, while keeping machinery and people safe, is one of the most hostile industrial environments imaginable,” he said.

He emphasized that NASA may be today’s anchor customer, but sustainable markets must extend far beyond government contracts.

He expects the 2030s to bring permanent bases, commercial mining revenue, and broader infrastructure supporting deeper space ventures.

When does this become a real economy?

Not yet. But soon.

“At this stage, it is still government-driven and geopolitical,” Shpakovsky explained to Forbes Middle East. “A true commercial lunar economy… will take another decade of real infrastructure.”

Cooper is more bullish: “The global space economy is now $613 billion. At its current pace, it could cross $1 trillion by 2032. The lunar economy is the next expansive step.”

Charania sees similar momentum from the power perspective: “Reliable, long-duration power will be one of the most sought-after capabilities.”

Pilot extraction projects could start in the 2030s, with larger-scale fuel production by the 2040s. But the race is well underway.

As Shpakovsky puts it, “we are witnessing the Moon become part of a broader cislunar infrastructure.” Not science fiction, but the early days of a very new kind of economy.

Hegseth, Senior Leaders Attend Spacecom Relocation Ceremony

Dec. 12, 2025

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth joined numerous members of Congress and a handful of senior military officials today to mark the official relocation of U.S. Space Command from Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, to Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.

Prior to assisting in unveiling three large signs denoting that the future Spacecom headquarters will be built on site at Redstone Arsenal, Hegseth delivered brief remarks in support of its relocation.

"Air Force Secretary [Troy Meink] made the right choice recommending to me [and] recommending to [President Donald J. Trump] that this is the place to continue to establish space dominance — right here in Alabama," Hegseth said.

Along with Meink's support, building the new Spacecom headquarters at Redstone Arsenal — which is adjacent to the city of Huntsville — was also championed by the previous two Air Force secretaries, according to U.S. Rep. Mike Rodgers of Alabama's 3rd District, who also spoke briefly at the ceremony.

Hegseth said that, along with the values of peace through strength and putting America first, the Trump administration and the War Department also view using common sense as crucial to success.

"It's common sense that this is precisely where Space Command should be; it's common sense that we need to move rapidly and expeditiously, and we will," he said.

"We are deadly serious in committing to cutting every piece of red tape and bureaucracy to get this headquarters established as quickly as humanly possible," he added.

Hegseth noted that today's relocation ceremony was more than just symbolic and served as a recognition that ground needs to be broken for Spacecom's new headquarters quickly, so it can be built and provided with the people and capabilities it needs as soon as possible.

"Because first it was 'He who controls the skies,' [and] now it's 'He who controls the space domain' understands what the future of warfare will look like, and who controls that dominance," he said.

"That's why I'm here today; because the quicker we establish this, the more robust the capabilities are, the more likely we are to deter the next conflict and — if necessary — stand prepared to overwhelmingly defeat our enemies," he continued.

Trump officially announced the relocation of Spacecom — which is one of the U.S. military's 11 unified combatant commands — to Alabama, Sept. 2, 2025.

The command was initially created in September 1985 before being disestablished in October 2002, and its forces and responsibilities were transferred to the U.S. Strategic Command.

Trump reestablished the command in August 2019 during his first term.

Space Test Course awards graduates master’s degrees for first time

Dec. 12, 2025

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - The graduating class of Space Test Course 25A were the first to earn master’s degrees through the program Dec. 6, 2025, marking an historic achievement as the course continues to expand and deliver on its mission.

Originally designed as a three-month short course which began in January 2021, STC is now a year-long, graduate accredited course of study, fully integrated with U.S Air Force Test Pilot School’s flight test curriculum.

The program’s graduates will receive a Master of Science in Flight Test Engineering – Space Test Concentration, a 40-credit hour degree accredited through Air University.

The new accreditation comes after four years of curriculum development and partnership with the Air Force’s Flight Test Course, TPS, and Air University, and mirrors how other TPS graduates receive a Master of Science in Flight Test Engineering upon completion of their courses.

“Looking back at where the STC began in 2021 and comparing that to where we are today is amazing,” said Dr. Andrew Freeborn, who has been with the program since its inception.

“The explosive growth in quantity and quality of the students’ educational experience is a testament to the dedication and commitment of a fantastic team here at Edwards, the strong partnership we have with Delta 12, Space Training and Readiness Command, and headquarters USSF, as well as several interagency and industrial partners around the country.”

The development highlights the importance of the Space Force’s professional testers. It also ensures Guardians receive education that keeps up with the fast-paced rate of change of the capabilities they’re required to test.

The STC’s focus is to produce adaptive, critical thinking test leaders to conduct full-spectrum test and evaluation of space-domain systems.

The intent is to provide students with a broad base of technical knowledge to prepare them for future Test and Evaluation (T&E) projects that span a variety of technical areas. STC accomplishes this with an integrated curriculum.

Approximately two-thirds of the academic offerings at TPS, including test foundations, mission systems, and test leadership, are shared by STC and FTC students.

The remaining third is made up of “domain sciences” that are unique to the different courses; FTC gets material on flight sciences and STC receives lessons on astronautical sciences.

Lt. Col. David Heinz, Air Force TPS deputy commandant and STC director, explained how the courses’ integration and rigorous academic evaluation reflects how Guardians and Airmen are improving education systems to better prepare service members in the future.

“Conferring the master’s degree to the recent STC graduates acknowledges the academic intensity of the education that the students received and is a testament to the dedication of the faculty and staff who built out the course over the past four years,” said Heinz.

“This was truly a joint effort between the USAF and USSF and is a shining example of how we can continue to partner to win.”

Col. Sacha Tomlinson, Delta 12 commander, spoke on how the changes to STC also gets after recent initiatives to empower the acquisition workforce to rapidly deliver capabilities and modernize test infrastructure.

“The value of the STC to our service is immeasurable,” she said. “It produces the test professionals we need to lead our test forces to meet the challenges laid out in Department of War’s acquisition reform, accelerate war-winning capabilities to our warfighters, and ensure the only ones surprised in combat are our adversaries.”

STC graduates support the service’s ability to lead combat-credible evaluation of the USSF enterprise and associated weapon systems.

Reflecting on the impact of the course, Freeborn stated, “Conferring the degree is recognition of the rigor of the program and the hard work and perseverance of the students who strive to graduate from STC and take their place as leaders of the T&E community.”

🚨 SYRIANS DECLARE WAR ON ISRAEL?

A new photo circulating online shows activists in Syria holding a sign that reads: “Sinwar’s stick didn’t fall… it was picked up by the mujahideen of al-Sham.”

Translation: They’re openly aligning themselves with Hamas and signaling a broader regional escalation.

Israel isn’t just facing Hamas. It’s facing an expanding network of militias stretching from Gaza to Syria to Lebanon, all moving in coordinated messaging.

The question isn’t if they’re preparing for a wider war. It’s how far they intend to take it.

Starlink Mission

December 13, 2025

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is targeting the launch of 27 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the X TV app.

This is the ninth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SDA T1TL-B, SDA T1TL-C, and six Starlink missions.

Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

There is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.

https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(25)01305-4

A neuroscience paper published in Cell just days ago answers a question researchers have been trying to solve for years: what actually changes in the brain during a psilocybin experience—and why those changes can last.

Using a genetically modified rabies virus as a neural tracer, researchers were able to map—cell by cell—how psilocybin alters brain connectivity. This allowed them to see, for the first time, which brain regions gain connections, which lose them, and how those changes depend on what the brain is doing during the experience itself.

The findings help explain long-standing observations discussed by neuroscientists, psychiatrists, and researchers often referenced on platforms like Huberman Lab:

• Why psilocybin can reduce depression and anxiety

• Why the default mode network quiets during psychedelic states

• Why sensory perception feels intensified

• Why context and mental state during a trip matter so much

• Why a single experience can lead to lasting psychological change

One of the most important results from the study is this:

only brain regions that are active during the psilocybin experience undergo lasting rewiring.

Inactive regions do not change.

That finding has major implications for mental health treatment, psychotherapy, and our understanding of how perception, mood, and identity are shaped at the neural level.

In this video, I walk through:

• How the rabies tracer virus works and why it was used

• What changed in sensory, emotional, and self-referential brain networks

• How this relates to depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma

• What this discovery means for future psychedelic research

Yemen : Three Shabwa Defense Soldiers Killed in Drone Strike on Aareen Camp

2025-12-13 07:46:59

Shabwa — Three soldiers from the Shabwa Defense Forces were killed and several others wounded late Thursday in a drone attack targeting Aareen Camp, launched from the direction of Marib province, according to government sources in Shabwa.

The sources noted that the strike came just days after elements affiliated with the Islah Party, the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, were removed from the camp a move that has fueled speculation and accusations over the identity and motives of the perpetrators.

They added that the targeting of Shabwa Defense Forces appears to signal an attempt to reshuffle military influence in the region, particularly amid escalating tensions among local factions and efforts by some groups to reclaim positions lost in recent months.

Local authorities stressed that the incident was not isolated, but part of a recurring pattern of attacks on security and military sites using drones.

The assault occurred less than 24 hours after a soldier was killed and two others injured in a suicide drone explosion that struck a checkpoint in the Musaynah area of Shabwa, an attack that was at the time attributed to Al-Qaeda in Yemen.

China's Jetank 'Air UAV Carrier' Drone Successfully Completes First Flight

13 Desember 2025, 21:00

JAKARTA - China's Jetank unmanned aerial vehicle, dubbed the "air UAV carrier," completed its maiden flight in Shaanxi Province, Northwest China on Thursday, with experts highlighting the aircraft's large size and its potential to carry a large number of smaller unmanned aerial vehicles.

This successful flight marks a new breakthrough in China's large unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, reported the People's Daily, citing the China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC).

Its wide spread is expected to accelerate industrial chain integration and innovation, provide new momentum for the development of high-quality low-lying economy, and promote innovation and improvement in the aviation industry, according to the People's Daily, quoted from Global Times (11/12).

As a large versatile UAV platform developed domestically, Jetank adopts the design concept of "universal platform with modular mission payload".

Built on the basis of independently developed integrated technological innovations, this drone has a large payload capacity, a high maximum flight altitude, a wide speed range, and short take-off and landing capabilities, the report said.

The Jetank drone is 16.35 meters long, has a wingspan of 25 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 16 tons, a payload capacity of 6,000 kilograms, a durability of 12 hours, and a cruising range of 7,000 kilometers, placing its performance among the top products of its kind, reported the People's Daily.

With the modular mission payload, the People's Daily continued, the Jetank drone can be widely adapted for various civilian applications, including transporting heavy supplies and providing proper logistical support to mountainous and remote island areas; quickly restoring communications and delivering disaster relief equipment during emergencies; and conducting geographical surveys, disaster assessments, and mineral exploration.

This drone can also help survey cultural heritage, maritime law enforcement, forest fire suppression, and other national economic sectors.

The Jetank heavy unmanned aerial vehicle was first introduced at the 2024 China Airshow in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, South China.

According to a previous report from China Central Television (CCTV) News, Jetank's unmanned aerial vehicle also has military applications.

This drone has eight weapon mounting points and can carry a 1,000-kilogram class guided bomb, air-to-air missile, air-to-ground missile, anti-ship missile, and cruise ammunition.

The drone also has an open architecture and is equipped with a mission pod that can be quickly replaced.

By replacing the modular mission payload, the aircraft can switch mission types within two hours to meet operational requirements such as parachuting and air transport, information support and countermeasures, as well as attack and support missions.

With its capabilities, Jetank is suitable for military and civilian use including systematic operations, transportation support to emergency rescue.

Another flagship feature of the Jetank UAV is the integration of a sophisticated isomerism nest module inside its fuselage.

Capable of accommodating hundreds of cruise munitions or small drones, this mission pod has earned Jetank the nickname "air UAV carrier," according to a CCTV News report.

Chinese military affairs expert who observed Jetank closely at the 2024 China Airshow Fu Qianshao highlighted the size of Jetank.

According to Fu, this large drone has a load capacity comparable to manned fighter aircraft or even bomber aircraft.

Trump Team Denies Leaked 'Secret Plan' To Break EU Nations Away From Brussels' Grip

The White House rejected claims about an unpublished National Security Strategy after a report alleged a plan to use Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Poland to challenge the EU’s cohesion

The Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy was published last week, setting out the U.S.’s broad foreign policy direction for the remainder of his term. It focused on ending what it calls a “perpetually expanding NATO,” establishing “conditions of stability within Europe,” and encouraging European allies to “stand on [their] own feet” in security matters.

The document also warned that Europe faces “civilizational erasure,” citing migration, censorship of speech, declining birthrates, and what it described as a loss of national identity and self-confidence.

Days after the official release, however, the Defense One website reported that a longer, unreleased version of the NSS had circulated in Washington. According to the site, the unpublished version contained far more explicit political goals for reshaping Europe’s future and reducing the influence of the European Union. Defense One wrote that the extended draft urged the United States to “Make Europe Great Again,” proposing that Washington realign its attention toward a select group of governments ideologically closer to the Trump administration.

The unpublished version, Defense One reported, stated that Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland were countries the United States should “work more with… with the goal of pulling them away from the [European Union].” It also said the United States should support “parties, movements, and intellectual and cultural figures who seek sovereignty and preservation/restoration of traditional European ways of life… while remaining pro-American.”

US military and civilian personnel have been ambushed by a “lone ISIS gunman” in Syria, with three killed and three others injured in the attack, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Saturday.

The gunman was “engaged and killed” during the attack, according to the US military. CENTCOM did not elaborate on where exactly the incident occurred and did not reveal the identities of the victims in accordance with the Pentagon’s policies.

According to local media reports, the attack occurred near the central Syrian town of Palmyra, where a joint patrol of the Syrian government forces and US troops came under fire. At least two Syrian servicemen were injured in the attack.

Traffic along the Damascus-Deir ez-Zor highway was temporarily halted after the attack, and the area around Palmyra was cordoned off. Multiple US military aircraft were seen flying at a low altitude in the area, footage circulating online suggests.

In 2022 the Delaware Supreme Court ruled that mail-in voting is unconstitutional in the state.

It was a unanimous decision!

Attorney Julianne Murray filed the lawsuit back in July 2022 over the new law that allows voters to request and submit ballots through the mail.

Julianne Murray is a Georgetown-based lawyer who challenged incumbent Attorney General Kathy Jennings in the Attorney General’s race in Delaware in 2024 where she sadly lost to the prominent Democrat.

Julianne Murray has always been a fighter. She has always stood up for what is right.

Julianne Murray was President Trump’s pick as US Attorney and she served Delaware with dignity and focus on one mission – taking down crime.

On Friday Julianne decided to step down as the acting US Attorney for the district of Delaware. She was forced to do this because GOP Senator Chuck Grassley refuses to get rid of the “blue slip” rule in the US Senate that allows Democrats to nullify President Trump’s picks for office.

This is a tremendous loss for the country and President Trump. Julianne is a star and decent person.

Here is her full statement. It is gut wrenching.

Land Along Southern Border Is Transferred to Navy To Become Part Of 'National Defense Area'

The Trump administration said on Dec. 10 that it would transfer roughly 760 acres of public land along the U.S.-Mexico border in California to the Navy for three years to support border security operations.

While announcing the decision Wednesday, the Interior Department said the land would become part of a “National Defense Area,” or militarized zone, to bolster immigration enforcement.

The land stretches from roughly a mile west of the California-Arizona state line to the western edge of the Otay Mountain Wilderness Area in San Diego and Imperial counties, according to the Interior Department.

“This corridor is one of the highest-traffic regions for unlawful crossings along the southern border, creating significant national security challenges and contributing to environmental degradation,” the department said.

The Interior Department said the land was originally set aside in 1907 by President Theodore Roosevelt for “border protection purposes,” and the Navy will use it to “strengthen operational capabilities while reducing ecological harm associated with sustained illegal activity.”

Since April, the federal government has transferred large portions of land along the southern border to the military, allowing troops to detain migrants attempting to cross the border or arrest people accused of trespassing on military bases.

The process began with a 170-mile swath of land along the border in New Mexico before the government expanded into Texas and Arizona.

Cabinet legalizes 19 West Bank outposts, including 2 vacated in 2005 disengagement

Move unanimously approved, US was notified ahead of time, report says; PA slams ‘annexation, apartheid and complete Judaization of Palestinian land’

The cabinet voted Thursday to grant official status to 19 illegal outposts in the West Bank, including two that were vacated 20 years ago under the Disengagement Plan, according to media and settlement groups.

According to Ynet and Channel 14, the unanimous vote was based on a proposal by Defense Minister Israel Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who is also in charge of the Defense Ministry’s settlement directorate. Ynet reported that Washington was briefed on the move ahead of time.

Mu’ayyan Sa’ban, head of the Palestinian Authority’s Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, said the decision was a “dangerous escalation” and accused Israel of seeking to “entrench annexation, apartheid and complete Judaization of Palestinian land.”

“The decision by the so-called ‘Israeli occupation cabinet’ to establish and settle 19 new colonies across the West Bank constitutes the latest step in a race to annihilate Palestinian geography for the sake of settler colonialism,” said Sha’aban, who holds the rank of minister in the PA.

The move came after the Interior Ministry on Sunday announced the final legalization of eight other outposts, with Smotrich, himself a settler, hailing the move for “promoting de facto sovereignty in Judea and Samaria” — the biblical name for the West Bank — and preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state there.

Likewise, we pray for the three injured soldiers who, it has just been confirmed, are doing well. This was an ISIS attack against the U.S., and Syria, in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them. The President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is extremely angry and disturbed by this attack. There will be very serious retaliation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

There’s an aircraft emergency at Dulles airport. A 777 headed to Tokyo had engine problems that resulted in a brushfire near the runway. The plane is making an emergency return to the airport at this time.

On Wednesday, Micron Technology announced it will exit the consumer RAM business in 2026, ending 29 years of selling RAM and SSDs to PC builders and enthusiasts under the Crucial brand.The company cited heavy demand from AI data centers as the reason for abandoning its consumer brand, a move that will remove one of the most recognizable names in the do-it-yourself PC upgrade market.

🚨🇺🇸 BROWN UNIVERSITY SHOOTER IN CUSTODY: CAMPUS SHATTERED, QUESTIONS JUST BEGINNING

The masked gunman who opened fire at Brown University in Providence, RI is now in custody, bringing a terrifying active shooter situation to an end.

But the damage is done. Multiple students were shot.

Police flooded the Ivy League campus, rescue units were pulled in from across the city, and buildings were cleared room by room as panic spread and families held their breath.

This wasn’t just another “incident,” this was a direct assault on one of America’s most prestigious universities, and yet another reminder that no ZIP code, no level of privilege, and no place of learning is immune.

The shooter is down. But now come the hard questions:

- Who was he?

- Why did he target Brown?

- And how did we once again end up here?

The campus may be secure now, but the system clearly isn’t.
