South Africa responds to envoy’s expulsion from US

Pretoria says it will continue to build a mutually beneficial relationship with Washington, regardless of the decision

South Africa has called the expulsion of its envoy to the US, Ebrahim Rasool, a “regrettable” move, but says it remains committed to engaging with Washington in order to maintain diplomatic relations.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared Rasool persona non grata in a post on X on Friday, saying he is no longer welcome in the country. Rubio accused Rasool of being a “race-baiting politician” who hates America and its president, Donald Trump.

In response, South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, said he has taken note of the decision by the Trump administration.

“The Presidency urges all relevant and impacted stakeholders to maintain the established diplomatic decorum in their engagement with the matter. South Africa remains committed to building a mutually beneficial relationship with the United States,” Ramaphosa’s office said in a statement on Saturday.

The action against the diplomat came shortly after he accused Trump in a speech at a South African think tank webinar of leading a “supremacist assault on incumbency” through the ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign.

Tensions between Pretoria and Washington have escalated since Trump took office in January. The US president recently halted all federal funding to South Africa over a controversial land expropriation law, which the African country insists aims to address historical racial disparities in land ownership. Trump claims the legislation violates the rights of white South Africans, who continue to own the majority of farmland despite constituting only about 7% of the population.

The South African government has sought to hold talks with the Trump administration in order to clarify what it calls “misinformation” about the land policy. Last week, Semafor news agency reported that Ambassador Rasool has been unable to secure meetings with American officials.

On Monday, Ramaphosa dismissed claims that his government is being ignored by the White House.

“We cannot be blue-ticked because we are such an important player to the United States of America, as they are an important player to South Africa from a political point of view, from a trade point of view… We cannot be ignored,” he said in response to a question about the situation with Washington.

“A great deal of progress has been made by our ambassador in straightening out the path to ensure that there is meaningful engagement at the diplomatic level,” Ramaphosa said, acknowledging that the diplomat’s expulsion has caused a “hiccup.”

Romania Bars Another Nationalist From Presidential Race For Opposing EU, NATO Membership

Monday, Mar 17, 2025

Not long after sparking outrage inside and outside the country by barring right-wing frontrunner Calin Georgescu from running in May’s presidential election, Romania has barred another populist from the contest, attributing the decision to the candidate's supposedly unacceptable policy stances and "making declarations "contrary to democratic values."

Romania's electoral commission on Saturday announced that Diana Sosoaca would be banned from competing for the country's presidency. That news is troubling enough on its face, but the Central Election Bureau's rationale makes the development all the more chilling: Sosoaca is supposedly unfit for office because she has publicly voiced opposition to Romania's memberships in the European Union and NATO.

“Farmgate” scandal(This is only one of the crimes he has participated in against is own people)

In June 2022 Ramaphosa was accused of criminal conduct in a complaint filed by Arthur Fraser, a Zuma ally and previous head of the country’s State Security Agency.He alleged that Ramaphosa had covered up a theft in 2020 of at least $4 million in foreign money that had been kept in a couch at Phala Phala, Ramaphosa’s game farm, as well as had kidnapped and bribed the robbery suspects. The allegedly large amount of foreign currency and the manner in which it was stored raised questions regarding the origin of the money and whether it had been properly declared by Ramaphosa.

Ramaphosa denied any wrongdoing in the matter. Regarding the theft, he said that a smaller amount of money had been stolen when he was not present at the farm and that he reported the theft once he was made aware of it. He asserted that the stolen money was from the sale of game and not any nefarious activity. Details provided by Ramaphosa and his staff surrounding the incident were murky, though, and at times appeared contradictory, and the appearance of impropriety grew. Multiple government agencies, including the Office of the Public Protector (national ombudsman) and the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), opened investigations into the matter, which had become known as “Farmgate.”

The scandal was a blow to Ramaphosa’s anti-corruption reputation, and it had some calling for his resignation. In September 2022 a Section 89 investigation was opened in the National Assembly to determine whether impeachment proceedings against the president were warranted. The Section 89 Panel Report, submitted to the National Assembly on November 30, found that Ramaphosa might be guilty of having violated the country’s constitution in his actions surrounding the “Farmgate” scandal; he rejected the findings and proclaimed his innocence. The National Assembly met on December 13 to discuss the report’s findings and decide whether impeachment proceedings should be initiated against him. But the ANC, the largest party in the body, had instructed its members to reject the call for an impeachment inquiry, so it was no surprise when the majority of the National Assembly voted against it. Days later Ramaphosa was reelected president of the ANC at the party’s leadership conference.

In March 2023 the preliminary findings of the public protector’s investigation were leaked. They indicated that no evidence of wrongdoing by Ramaphosa had been found. The official investigation report, released on June 30, 2023, confirmed that Ramaphosa had been cleared of wrongdoing by the public protector. SARB’s investigation report, dated August 2023, focused on whether he had violated Exchange Control Regulation 6(1), which stipulated, “Every person resident in the Republic who becomes entitled to sell or to procure the sale of any foreign currency, shall within thirty days after becoming so entitled, make or cause to be made, a declaration in writing of such foreign currency to the Treasury or to an authorised dealer.”

The report included a statement from the identified buyer of the game, who referred to the money as a security deposit and said delivery of the animals had not occurred for reasons that included the COVID-19 pandemic. SARB found that Ramaphosa had not violated Exchange Control Regulation 6(1) because the money was stolen before the sale was finalized. SARB’s investigation and findings were derided by many, including members of the Democratic Alliance (DA) and other political parties, who described them with phrases such as “a whitewash,” “a cover-up,” and “unadulterated claptrap.”

Marikana massacre: the untold story of the strike leader who died for workers’ rights

In 2012 a strike at the Marikana platinum mine in South Africa ended when police opened fire, killing 34 miners. Investigations have revealed one rebel leader died trying to broker a peaceful solution. Nick Davies uncovers his story

Nick Davies Tue 19 May 2015 01.00 EDT

On 16 August 2012, South African police opened fire on a large crowd of men who had walked out on strike from a platinum mine at Marikana, about 80 miles north of Johannesburg.They shot down 112 of them, killing 34. In any country, this would have been a traumatic moment. For South Africa, it was a special kind of nightmare, since it revived images of massacres by the state in the old apartheid era, with one brutal difference –this time it was predominantly black policemen, with black senior officers working for black politicians, who were doing the shooting.

In response, President Jacob Zuma appointed a commission of inquiry, chaired by a retired judge,

Covid Bioweapon: Disclosure of MI6 memo to Johnson comes on the heels of almost identical disclosures from German intelligence services to Merkel

By Rhoda Wilson on March 17, 2025

A March 2020 intelligence briefing to Prime Minister Boris Johnson from Sir Richard Dearlove, former head of MI6, and other security analysts stated that SARS-CoV-2 was engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The disclosure of the British intelligence memo comes on the heels of almost identical disclosures from Germany’s foreign intelligence agency to Angela Merkel’s government.

Sir Richard’s briefing to Johnson contradicts a Nature Medicine paper by Andersen et al., suggesting that the paper’s authors may have been working to conceal the true origin of the virus, potentially on behalf of the People’s Republic of China.

The revelation raises questions about the involvement of people such as Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak and Professor Ralph Baric, and suggests that governments, including those of the UK and Germany, may have knowingly concealed the laboratory origin of the virus from the public.

here she's pushing "sustainability" as the emerging motivator for shoppers during height of Covid OP in 2020

What the thriving sustainability movement means for disrupted retailers

Liddy Manson | Nov 24, 2020

Consumers’ calls for sustainability are transcending social media chatter and translating tangibly into how they’re spending their shopping budgets.

Shawn MacDonald, CEO of Verité

During moments of disruption, new ideas and movements often find a unique opportunity to thrive. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the push for sustainability in the apparel world is gaining steam among consumers calling on brands to foster change through their products and move toward a system that reduces waste and supports greater ecological integrity and social justice.

The continued—and even accelerated—momentum behind consumer demand for sustainability has notable implications for retailers, many of whom are struggling to kickstart their recoveries and begin moving the inventory that’s been languishing in their warehouses….

What should these brands consider in their recovery planning as they strive to reconnect with consumers who are buying less but demanding more from their products?

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic put consumer shopping behavior as we know it on hold.

Typical buying patterns froze as everyone tried to collectively wrap their heads around the world’s new social and economic realities. During this moment of pause, many consumers took the time to rethink what they need. They hit the reset button on their spending habits and, with the newfound realization that they don’t need nearly as much as they once thought they did, they turned renewed attention to the sustainability of their purchases.……………

[BS. it was FORCED compliance with nutso rules that pushed big chains and closed small businesses, not voluntary reflection on shopping habits.]

Drone video: Crews battle massive fire at South End Charlotte nightclub

Mar. 17, 2025 at 7:35 AM PDT

Crews battled a massive fire at a South End Charlotte nightclub on Saturday morning.

The fire department released a drone video on Saturday, March 15, which showed crews working to contain the fire at Morehead Social on East Morehead Street near South Boulevard.

That video can be seen below.

No civilians or firefighters were hurt. The fire caused an estimated $150,000 in property and content loss.

“Setbacks are not roadblocks. They are detours that lead to a better destination,” Morehead Social wrote on social media. “Stay tuned. We coming back stronger and bigger.”

Officials said determining the exact cause of the fire will be “challenging” for investigators due to the complete structural collapse.

What happened

Officials said crews responded to reports of heavy smoke along East Morehead Street at 7:47 a.m.

Four minutes later, firefighters arrived at the building on fire and began assuming command. Crews reported substantial smoke was coming from the basement.

Conditions reportedly worsened and an evacuation was sounded at 8:01 a.m. due to safety concerns. Three minutes later, officials said a roof collapse was imminent.

By 8:30 a.m., crews reported that “the structural integrity of the walls was also compromised.”

Additional resources were brought to help extinguish the fire by 8:42 a.m. as a third alarm was struck.

Officials said after an “intense” operation, the fire was controlled by 10:25 a.m.

“The dedication and quick action of our firefighters prevented what could have been a far worse outcome,” said Charlotte Fire Chief Reginald Johnson.

“Their ability to make decisive, tactical decisions under extreme conditions speaks to their training and professionalism. I’m incredibly proud of their commitment to protecting our city.”

​Ukrainian Drones Strike Gas Processing Plant Near Astrakhan

March 17, 2025

Late on March 17th, Ukrainian long-range attack drones targeted a facility of the energy supply system of russia, located in the Astrakhan Region, approximately 900 km deep beyond the frontline.

According to the local governor Igor Babushkin, the UAVs were intercepted, but "debris caused fire" on the ground, Defense Express reports.

The fact of the drone attack on Astrakhan was also confirmed by Lieut. Andrii Kovalenko, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, a Ukrainian state-run media agency.

As noticed by Liga.net, russia’s Defense Ministry claimed six Ukrainian drones were downed Sunday evening across Volgograd, Rostov, and Tula oblasts, but "conspicuously omitted" from the reporting the Astrakhan Region and Krasnodar Krai where residents heard multiple explosions.

Unofficial information suggests that the target was Gazprom's Astrakhan Gas Processing Plant, a facility spanning almost 4 sq. km.

While the details are yet being clarified, Defense Express reminds that the Astrakhan plant has previously suffered from Ukrainian drone attacks.

On February 3, it was lit on fire after a midnight onslaught of kamikaze drones.

The plant is one of the largest in russia, with an annual processing output of 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas and 3.5 million tons of gas condensate.

The end products include gasoline, diesel fuel, and more. The profits generated by this enterprise are used to fuel the russian war machine.

Russian Fighter Oleynik Survives Drone Attack Injury

17 March 2025

Former adult film star details harrowing battle experience and efforts to uplift fellow soldiers during crisis.

Alexey Oleynik, a Russian fighter and former adult film star known by the pseudonym Sadko, recently endured harrowing circumstances during military operations, shaping his narrative as both poignant and alarming.

Serving as the commander of a tank platoon, Oleynik confronted severe dangers from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used by opposing forces.

During one of his missions, Oleynik and his unit found themselves severely threatened. Despite their efforts to exit underfire, they faced significant challenges.

"We tried to leave our positions, but there were still about nine kilometers to the evacuation point.

At this moment, we were attacked by another drone—the explosion knocked us off our feet; I lost consciousness," Oleynik recounted.

Upon regaining his senses, he spotted another drone and, driven by survival instinct, managed to shoot it down with his weapon.

Despite this brief victory, the dangers were far from over. “After reaching the shelter, I felt the pain from my wound return and passed out again.

I spent two days without food or water, unable even to move,” he lamented. His struggle culminated when shrapnel pierced his scrotum, leading to complications and prolonged agony.

Oleynik offered insight on how he handled the dangerous environment. Besides the physical threats, the emotional turmoil among the troops was palpable.

Faced with panic among his comrades, he sought to uplift their spirits. "Brothers, you understand what you have done by abandoning the tanks – this is serious.

Let's gather ourselves, take hold of your bravery, and think about our ancestors," he encouraged them during the crisis.

His experience sheds light on the turmoil faced by soldiers engaged on modern battlefields.

The psychological challenges, stemming from not only physical injuries but the constant threat of drones and panic, are increasingly significant.

Oleynik’s attempt to rally the troops seems to highlight the urgent need for camaraderie and strength amid chaos.

Medical examinations later confirmed the severity of his injury; shrapnel had passed through his scrotum leaving particles from its violent entry and exit.

Luckily, the high temperature of the metal prevented severe bleeding, as the edges of his wound instantly fused together. Though he faced trauma, Oleynik’s resolve shone through.

Each shared story from the battlefield unveils the layered and often tragic experiences of those embroiled in war.

Oleynik's tale not only chronicles his drastic physical ordeal but also serves as reflection on soldier morale and leadership under pressure.

The combination of external threats and internal challenges creates challenging realities for today’s military personnel.

Through it all, Oleynik stands not only as a soldier but as someone who has transformed his past from adult film star to military leader, now facing unprecedented threats.

His resilience speaks volumes about those who adapt and fight under pressure, balancing both strength and vulnerability.

It’s stories like Oleynik’s, highlighting human resilience amid adversity, dans which the bigger picture of modern warfare emphasizes—the need for community, for morale, and the relentless human spirit, even under the heaviest of burdens.

The use of modern warfare tactics like drones complicates traditional battlefield protocols, with soldiers like Oleynik forced to navigate overwhelming dangers.

His experience exemplifies the blending of past lives with current realities, marked by hardship but also determination.

It invites inquiries about the broader consequences of warfare on individual soldiers and the support systems necessary to help them endure.

The narrative of Oleynik is a stark reminder of the struggles soldiers face outside of glimpses visible on screen; the persistent threat of physical harm and mental fatigue loom large.

A South Korean military drone collided with a helicopter at an airfield on Monday, causing a fire that was extinguished in about 20 minutes without casualties.

This was reported by the South Korean Ministry of Defense, reports UNN.

The drone was manufactured in Israel, a large Heron reconnaissance drone, Yonhap news agency reported, citing the military.

The report said that during the accident in Yangju, north of Seoul, North Korea did not attempt to jam GPS signals.

In November last year, the same drone crashed in the same area, Yonhap reported.

Three Metro Atlanta men arrested in prison-smuggling drone scheme

March 17, 2025 at 8:59 am EDT

WASHINGTON COUNTY, GA — Three Metro Atlanta men are facing multiple charges after authorities say they attempted to use a drone to smuggle contraband into Washington State Prison.

According to WSBTV, Washington County deputies arrested Emmarrion Murray, 20, of Jonesboro; Serpico Evans, 27, of East Point; and Alfonso Horton, 23, of Forest Park on March 7 at approximately 11:48 p.m. after receiving a call about suspicious activity in Davisboro.

According to investigators, the men were using a drone to smuggle promethazine into the prison.

Deputies seized the drone, its controller, which was connected to a cell phone, and several drawstring bags containing marijuana, tobacco, and promethazine.

The suspects now face multiple charges, including trading with inmates and conspiracy to commit a felony.

In addition, Evans faces an additional charge of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Authorities say the trio allegedly attempted to sneak contraband behind bars—but now, they find themselves behind bars instead. The investigation remains ongoing.

Saab and Swedish Air Force unveil “Loke” counter-drone system

17 March 2025 - 13:03

In a swift demonstration of engineering collaboration, Saab, the Swedish Air Force, and the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) have developed and evaluated the “Loke” concept in just 84 days.

This new system is designed to detect and counter hostile drones, addressing the growing need for effective counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) in modern defense strategies.

The increasing prevalence of drones has created a unique challenge for military forces, as conventional air defense systems are ill-suited for targeting small, low-flying, autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

These drones often operate in swarms, evade traditional detection methods, and present an economic dilemma, as using expensive military assets against low-cost drones is inefficient.

As drone technology evolves rapidly, military solutions must adapt to ensure effective defense capabilities.

The development of the “Loke” system started as an industry demonstration but quickly escalated into a focused, rapid effort to deliver a mobile and adaptable solution to Swedish Air Force combat units.

Typically, such projects would take much longer, but the collaboration between Saab, the Air Force, and FMV achieved the goal in just over two months.

The “Loke” system integrates several key components, including the Giraffe 1x radar for detection and classification, and a lightweight command and control system.

A Trackfire remote weapon station, typically used on naval vessels, is also part of the solution, providing flexible response capabilities.

This approach allows for the creation of a comprehensive, modular system that is adaptable to a variety of operational environments.

Carl-Johan Bergholm, Senior Vice President of Saab’s business area Surveillance, highlighted the innovative approach taken to integrate existing technologies with new features in record time.

The quick development process reflects a willingness to move away from traditional timelines and think creatively to meet emerging threats.

The system’s scalability ensures it can adapt to future developments in drone technology and be further enhanced with additional sensors and weapon systems.

It is also designed to function during redeployment, offering continuous protection.

Swedish Air Force Chief Major General Jonas Wikman emphasized the importance of agility in the face of new threats.

The project was led by the Air Warfare School (Luftstridsskolan), Command and Control Warfare School (Ledningsstridsskolan), and the Air Force Staff (Flygstaben), with support from the Ground Warfare School (Markstridsskolan). Norrbotten Air Wing (F 21) personnel also played a critical role, ensuring the system’s operational relevance.

The “Loke” system is expected to be fully integrated into Swedish Air Force combat units by late 2025, marking a significant step in countering the evolving threat of unmanned aerial vehicles.

The project highlights the Swedish Armed Forces’ commitment to rapid development and deployment, ensuring the protection of national security in an increasingly complex aerial threat landscape.

Deported Brown University doctor had ‘sympathetic photos’ of Hezbollah leaders on her phone

The Trump administration deported a Lebanese doctor who was an assistant professor at Brown University’s medical school after investigators found “sympathetic photos and videos” of Hezbollah leaders on her phone, the Department of Justice said.

Dr. Rasha Alawieh, 34, was arrested after arriving at Boston’s Logan International Airport on Thursday. Her family claimed that officials provided no reason for her deportation, and they argued her rights were being violated because she had an active visa to live and work in the US.

The DOJ has since alleged that the Providence, Rhode Island, resident has an affinity for the Lebanon-based terror group, with pictures and videos of Hezbollah leaders found in the deleted items folder of her cellphone, Politico reported.

Alawieh also allegedly admitted that she attended a funeral for slain Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah last month while visiting family in Lebanon, according to the feds.

She claimed she attended the ceremony “from a religious perspective” and not a political one, according to Politico.

“CBP questioned Dr. Alawieh and determined that her true intentions in the United States could not be determined,” Assistant US Attorney Michael Sady wrote in a filing to the court on Monday.

Customs and Border Protection spokesperson Hilton Beckham said the burden of establishing proof of admissibility into the US falls on the immigrant, adding that the agency’s officers “adhere to strict protocols to identify and stop threats.”

The agency, however, did not immediately state what “threat” Alawieh posed, nor why she was chosen for removal, leading her family to file a lawsuit.

US District Judge Leo Sorokin had ordered the CBP to halt the Ivy League professor’s deportation until a court hearing on Monday, but the doctor was flown out of the country in a seemingly deliberate violation of the judge’s orders.

“The government shall respond to these serious allegations with a legal and factual response setting forth its version of events,” Sorokin, an Obama-era appointee, wrote in his order.

Last month, Rasha Alawieh traveled to Beirut, Lebanon, to attend the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah— a brutal terrorist who led Hezbollah, responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade terror spree. Alawieh openly admitted to this to CBP officers, as well as her support of Nasrallah.

A visa is a privilege not a right—glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be denied. This is commonsense security.

Rep. Burlison pushing Oversight Chair to hire David Grusch as committee staff

Mar 14, 2025

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) — Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets

Ask a Pol asks:

Last time I talked to Secrets Task Force Chair Anna Paulina Luna, she said you guys were looking into bringing UAP whistleblower David Grusch into a SCIF [sensitive compartmented information facility].

Any update?

Key Burlison:

”Yes, and into hiring him on staff,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively told Ask a Pol.

On your personal staff?

“Either my personal staff,” Burlison said. “I already talked to [Oversight Committee Chair James] Comer’s team about it. They're researching it.”

From your personal office, couldn't you just hire him?

“I can, but I think that it would be ideal if he were part of the committee,” Burlison continued.

“That gives — he's not just working for me. He's working for the efforts of the team.”

Caught our ear:

It feels like the JFK and Epstein investigation are getting more attention than UAPs right now?

“It is. Yeah, definitely,” Burlison told us. “I've got my head down. If you — I think [Chair] Anna [Paulina Luna] has given me a lot of latitude to do this research.”

Is there any timeline? Or too early for timeline?

“It's too early,” Burlison told Ask a Pol. “I want to get [Grusch] hired. I want to get him on board and then just move quickly, because we don't have a lot of time.”

Trump Declares Biden's Autopen-Signed Pardons "Void"

Ten days or so after the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project disclosed that nearly every document bearing former President Biden's signature during his first term had been signed by an autopen—except for one—questions arose over whether executive orders and pardons could be deemed invalid, as we noted that Biden's staff likely leveraged his rapid cognitive deterioration to sign those documents via autopen.

Overnight, President Trump declared that the 11th-hour pardons, including those given to members of Congress who investigated the January 6 insurrection, were "void, vacant, and of no further force or effect, because of the fact that they were done by autopen." Some of those last-minute pardons include Deep Staters, such as former Representative Liz Cheney, retired General Mark Milley, and government scientist Anthony Fauci.

"The "Pardons" that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen," Trump wrote on Truth Social late Sunday night.

The president continued: "In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime."

He went on to say that members of that House committee are "subject to investigation at the highest level"…

"Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!"

I just spoke with the Acting Administrator of NASA, Janet Petro. She is coordinating our Team of highly respected Scientists, Space Engineers, and various other “geniuses,” who has agreed to let our Astronauts come home long prior to the two week period originally approved by NASA. Janet was great. She said, “Let’s bring them home NOW, Sir!” — And I thanked her. This began when I asked Elon Musk to go up and get the abandoned Astronauts, because the Biden Administration was incapable of doing so. They shamefully forgot about the Astronauts, because they considered it to be a very embarrassing event for them – Another thing I inherited from that failed group of incompetents. Elon and I have taken on the project, sending up the SpaceX Dragon, which has successfully docked and, hopefully, while there is always danger involved in such a mission, they will soon be on their way home — Taking off tomorrow, and landing on Wednesday. Exact times will be provided to you. Safety always comes first, and maximum standards are being adhered to. But after eight long months for a mission that was supposed to be eight days, IT IS TIME. I look forward to seeing Butch and Suni, and thank you again to NASA and Janet Petro!

Dozens of NATO Officers Among Encircled Ukrainian Troops in Collapsing Kursk Pocket: Russian Media

“About 30 officers from NATO countries were surrounded in the Kursk region, Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the pro-Russian Nikolaev resistance, told RIA Novosti, citing colleagues.

‘According to the underground, surrounded in of the Kursk region there are about 30 career NATO officers who were engaged in commanding troops on the ground, as well as incoming reconnaissance data from NATO satellites and adjusting strikes deep into Russian territory’, the agency’s interlocutor said.”

In the last few days, the Russians army launched a massive offensive in the Kursk region, liberating 31 settlements, while the Ukraine military lost more than two thousand soldiers in a week.

General Valery Gerasimov reported to Putin that the Ukrainian detachment is now isolated, and it is being ‘systematically destroyed’.

There is also evidence that, in some directions, Russian forces have crossed the border with Ukraine and are conquering territory in the Sumy region.

“The head of state [Putin] noted that if some time ago the Armed Forces of Ukraine left the Kursk region in large groups, now this is no longer possible. He also proposed to think about creating a security zone along the state border.”

After Trump asked Putin to spare the lives of surrounded Ukrainian troops, the Russian leader responded that the leadership of Ukraine would have to order its military ‘to lay down their arms and surrender.’

The Christopher Nolan movie he compared to ‘Alien’: “You understand why they’re afraid”

Sun 16 March 2025 19:15, UK

Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan’s iconic first entry into the Batman universe, changed the landscape of superhero movies forever.

With his darker, grittier approach to the classic DC superhero, Nolan transformed him from a campy, straight-up-and-down superhero into a nuanced, mysterious, and ruthless antihero.

This approach was so effective that all successive comic book adaptations and superhero movies have tended towards this darker style. In fact, some see the franchise as a turning point in cinema.

And while the Nolan trilogy has been likened to crime dramas and psychological thrillers due to its complex characters, moral ambiguity and gritty details, the director himself sees it slightly differently.

For him, Batman Begins is more classic sci-fi horror than drama. Speaking to Empire, the filmmaker said, “I always liken Batman to the first Alien, where you just glimpse it.

So he’s frightening, threatening and elusive. You understand why they’re afraid of him.”

While Christian Bale’s terrifying and awesome portrayal of The Caped Crusader might not immediately bring to mind the Xenomorph alien from Ridley Scott’s 1980s classic, upon deeper reflection, it’s easy to see the similarities.

The horror and suspense of Alien isn’t really due to the ferocity or appearance of the Xenomorph, terrifying though it is, but to the subtle claustrophobia of the horror classic.

The whole movie takes place on one small spaceship and we only ever catch snatches of the relentless monster, which at times seems to disappear into the mechanisms of the ship and appear out of nowhere in the darkness.

All of this might sound eerily similar to fans of Nolan’s Batman. Trained by Ras Al Ghul and the League of Shadows, Bruce Wayne has mastered the dark, knowing how to disappear into it and become one with it.

This turns the familiar superhero into something terrifying rathe than cuddly and heroic.

The strength of Nolan’s Batman isn’t in his ability to save damsels and innocents, but in how much he is able to put proverbial the fear of god into criminals, gangsters and enemies.

And it’s exactly these criminals who Nolan wants to align the audience with, “The concept was always to present him from the criminal’s point of view… You understand why they’re afraid of him.”

And, undoubtedly, you are a little bit scared too. Take Batman’s first real appearance when he apprehends Falcone’s men: cronies disappear at random, lightbulbs explode, we get a glimpse of his animalistic costume, and he’s gone, his wings swoop, a shadow burgeons.

Nolan introduces his hero to the same beats of a villain or ghoul. In the same way that Scott introduces us to his Alien.

Then later in the movie, we get a full-frontal look at Batman when he uses Crane’s poison against him, and his transformation is even more horrifying than Scarecrow’s.

His whole face disappears into the mask, and his eyes and mouth turn black and ooze – drawing another comparison to the acid-drooling Xenomorph.

If you look for the signs, it’s easy to see the influence of the sci-fi classic on Nolan’s characterisation of his Batman, even if it’s not the first thing to spring to mind.

“Deep State’s Worst Nightmare” — Dan Bongino Officially Sworn In as Deputy Director of the FBI

By Jim Hᴏft Mar. 17, 2025 1:00 pm

Dan Bongino, a distinguished former Secret Service agent and fervent patriot, was officially sworn in today as the Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

“This morning, Dan Bongino has officially been sworn into the FBI. America, say hello to your new Deputy FBI Chief— the deep state’s worst nightmare has arrived,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna announced on X.

— Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) March 17, 2025

In his new role, Bongino will serve under FBI Director Kash Patel, another steadfast ally in the mission to rejuvenate the bureau’s core mission of upholding the rule of law.

President Trump, in his announcement on Truth Social, lauded Bongino as “a man of incredible love and passion for our Country,” emphasizing that his appointment is “great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice.”

“Great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice! Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our Country, has just been named the next DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI, by the man who will be the best ever Director, Kash Patel,” Trump announced on Truth Social last month.

“Dan has a Masters Degree in Psychology from C.U.N.Y., and an MBA from Penn State. He was a member of the New York Police Department (New York’s Finest!), a highly respected Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, and is now one of the most successful Podcasters in the Country, something he is willing and prepared to give up in order to serve. Working with our great new United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director Patel, Fairness, Justice, Law and Order will be brought back to America, and quickly. Congratulations Dan!”

Bongino’s exemplary career began with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) from 1995 to 1999, after which he joined the U.S. Secret Service. His tenure included prestigious assignments in the Presidential Protective Division under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

​On his final podcast episode last Friday, Dan Bongino delivered an emotional farewell to his audience.

“My podcast audience has been with me for 10 years now. You guys started with me in the beginning. We had no idea what we were doing. We were just talking into a microphone thinking, ‘Gosh, I hope someone’s listening.’ And it became the number one live stream in the United States, all because of you guys. But I know you all understand why I made this decision to walk away. I know you get it. You don’t need me to explain to you the condition our country is in and why people — people better people than me — chose to serve the public.”

“I’m going to leave you like I left my podcast audience today, with the only words I could think of this morning when I was putting together this show: I’ll see you on the other side,” he concluded.
