In early January, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents from El Centro near San Diego launched a deportation raid in Kern County, more than six hours from their usual area of operation. The man behind the effort is Gregory Bovino, head of CBP's El Centro sector. He claimed the operation targeted criminals that were illegally in the US, but arrest data show that, of the nearly 80 people that were swept up by the agents out of El Centro, Border Patrol had an arrest record for just one individual. Ultra low-budget airliner, Avelo, is shuttering its Bay Area hub at Sonoma County's Charles M. Schultz Airport, after it got tapped by the Trump Administration to conduct mass deportation flights. One Sonoma County Supervisor is condemning the move, saying it would hurt the local economy in the long-run. Prop 36, California's voter-approved "tough on crime" bill,  is still a  head-scratcher for lawmakers in Sacramento, who are still debating on how to actually fund its rollout statewide.

"Oopsie, too late. "That post on X from the President of El Salvador got retweeted by Secretary of State Marco Rubio over the weekend with a laugh-crying emoji over a headline about a judge's ruling. The judge ordered the Trump Administration not to deport Venezuelans to El Salvador. That came after a Brown University physician in the United States on an H1-B visa from Lebanon was sent back. Even though a federal judge issued an order that she appear at an in-person hearing on Monday.In a court filing today, lawyers for the government said US Customs and Border Patrol officers said they didn't learn of the order until after the doctor was sent back.The administration insists it is not defying court orders. Trump hasn't yet openly and explicitly defied the courts. Can he undermine them just by flirting with defiance?For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

“He who holds the gold makes the rules,” Mark would quip, adding “and the ultimate gold is black. Black mail videos.” My whole life those ruling our world by Blackmail termed themselves New World Order of the Rose. The Order of the Rose was a secret society of self-appointed, self-anointed leaders comprised of Jesuits and CIA.  These power mongers did not trust each other either, so they kept compromisingly perverse Blackmail videos of each other filmed during secret meetings. As a young child, I was sex trafficked to various politicians and global leaders who met at what was the Epstein Island of its time Mackinac Island Michigan.  Most perpeTraitors I was exposed to were aware that they were being covertly filmed since it was the ultimate rule of being a secret society Order of the Rose member. It was also understood that these Blackmail videos were held in vaults at the Vatican, through the infiltrated Mafia network, and by various individuals. One such individual that held Blackmail videos in the 1980s was Hollywood actor Michael Dante'. I had cause to see Dante's wall of vaults when I was in his Hollywood home in 1986 as detailed in my testimony for Congress TRANCE Formation of America.   How does a B grade actor come into such a high position as keeper of the Blackmail? Dante' was closely associated with Jack Valenti, head of the Motion Picture Association of America and godfather over Hollywood and politics due to his friendships with Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Vatican and more.  Jack Valenti's power grew when the New World Order gained control through the Kennedy Assassination. Valenti fed us the media cover-up for Ford's Warren Commission, first coining the term “conspiracy theorist” for anyone questioning the narrative. Black mail and infiltration had blurred the line between Vatican Jesuits, the Mafia, and CIA which Michael Dante' epitomized by wearing all hats. Seemingly tied to everyone, Dante's position put him in charge of covert filming at the Bohemian Grove, Clintons' Swiss Villa Amphitheater in Lampe, Missouri, and spontaneous meeting places such as the one where I was trafficked in Malibu where Bush, Reagan, Salinas, De la Madrid, and more had met to finalize criminal groundwork for  NAFTA. Dante' had seen it all, done it all, and held the evidence much like the Diddy or Epstein of his day.  I was about to turn 30 and was scheduled to be sacrificed at Bohemian Grove for what I knew about inner operations of the New World Order, specifically Order of the Rose. Dante's vault also held Snuff films proving the execution of those like me who ‘knew too much'. This word had reached intelligence insider Mark Phillips, who ultimately intercepted me enroute to my executioner Michael Dante. Mark saved me from certain death, and my daughter Kelly from a fate worse than death. Because I had been programmed heavily under MK Ultra mind control to go to Michael Dante', I was obsessed with the need to fulfill my mission. Mark's initial efforts to keep my daughter and me safe were strenuous under the circumstances, especially considering we were literally dodging bullets that I was straining to run back into as programmed.  Mark asked me who was shooting at us, insisting I write it out by hand and not vocalize. Writing it out defused my programming and showed me my truth. As quickly as I wrote out memory, it was validated by clean members of intelligence and law enforcement. William Von Raab of  US Customs validated my testimony detailing groundwork for NAFTA that was rooted in drug and human trafficking across open borders, which in turn funded the New World Order.  Read the full transcript on Cathy's website here!

1. After broken agreement & negotiations, Hamas to Release Three Hostages on Thursday- Gazans can begin moving north tomorrow. Israeli PM Netanyahu's office says Israel reached an agreement with Hamas after “strong and determined negotiations,” and reiterates that it will “not tolerate any violation of the agreement.”2. US President Trump to end delivery hold on 2,000 pound bombs to Israel.President Trump said to reporters aboard Air Force One, “We released them (the bombs). We released them today. And they'll have them. They paid for them and they've been waiting for them for a long time. They've been in storage.”3. Syria Seizes Shipment of Weapons Bound for Hezbollah.The shipment was heading to Hezbollah via smuggling routes on the Lebanon-Syria border, in the area of the border city of Sarghaya. Images showed several assault rifles, RPG launchers, and ammunition.4.  Italy's Leonardo and Turkish drone maker Baykar are discussing a team-up which could see Leonardo's electronics and radar mounted on Baykar's TB2 drones.5. Trump Administration looking into future support for Ukraine war effort.6.  President Trump Directs US Forces to Reinforce Southern Border.There are already roughly 2,500 military personnel along the border supporting the US Customs and Border Protection mission- & today's announcement brings the total up to around 4,000 troops deployed. Other assets, such as drones, are also under consideration to be sent to the border.

Israel's military is conducting raids in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. Israel is seeking to flush out armed Palestinian factions in the area. This comes as some 90 Palestinians prisoners were released from Israeli prisons following a ceasefire deal in Gaza with Hamas. Also, Denmark has announced plans to rethink a parenting competency test that has earned heavy criticism for using Danish cultural norms to measure fitness in Greenland's Inuit communities. Human rights groups have long expressed concerns that bias baked into the test can lead to children being unjustly removed from Indigenous families. Also, what it would mean globally, for the US to withdraw from the World Health Organization — and what that process would actually look like. And, the US Customs and Border Protection announced Monday that the CBP One app would no longer be used to admit migrants. We hear from people who'd been relying on the app to get into the US legally.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

David has studied Meditation, Yoga, Vegetarian diet, world religions, ancient history, Physics, Math, Astronomy, Alternative Zero Point Energies for over 40 years.  He took physics in school to the college level and continued his studies ever since. In school, he presented his Physics teacher a time dialation theory which his techer admitted was way beyond anything he had seen since Einstein!  In 1990, David began working with MIT physicist Dr. Bogdan Maglich and teamed up with him to promote and fund Maglich's non-radioactive fusion power technology.  David Studied fusion power for over 10 years.  Then Maglich appointed David Sereda as Director of the Los Angeles Based "Tesla Foundation" under whcih David became a Tesla Technology expert and spoke in the united States Congress with Maglich and Company on Fusion Power. Next, Maglich appointed David as President of HiEnergy Microdevices, a new company (US Defense Contractor) using novel technology to detect burried landmines and to find hidden explosives and other contraband.  David did all of the US military communnications about the technology contracts and accounts including US Customs and the Coast Guard!  In the year 2006, David Sereda developed a technology not unlike a small nuclear fusion chamber to fuse frequency programs into crystals, and found that these frequencies could be stored in a crystal lattice if the secret to opening the lattice and closing it could be found.  He found it worked and the thousands of people who wore the pendants treated with the etchnology could feel the vibrations and confirmed this on human energy field aura camera testing! ​In 2009, David was developing the first LightStream Wand as a means of pulsing real gems through the Pulsed Crystal effect whereby a gem will emit real energy fields proprietary to the crystal and mineral composite for human and living systems healin​In 2015, David Sereda did the math to make the 14-pointed Star Coils, a base 7 math, and dividing 360 degrees in a full circle by 7= 51.428 degrees, which is ever so close to Great Pyramid Angle 51.85 degrees and the closest you can get to it dividing a circle by a whole number. ​Next, David came up with the theory that the staff of Moses, and other legends was used as an antenna to extend human consciousness.  Knowing the formula for an antenna is the height of the antenna x 4 = a full wavelenth and the speed of light divided by this wavelength would be the frequency Moses used to contact and receive from God, if we knew the exact length of the staff of Moses, ISIS and Jesus et all, we could know this sacred frequency.  It took 3 years for David to study every Royal Cubit Inch formula to find the correct one and to perfect the length of the staff and know the Frequency of God!His website is www.davidsereda.coBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/typical-skeptic-podcast--5897400/support.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 6th of September and here are this week's headlines.The West Bengal Assembly unanimously passed the newly drafted anti-rape Bill. After it was tabled Tuesday morning, CM Mamata Banerjee spoke in favour of the Bill and hailed it as “a model and historic”. She also said that a special unit of the state police — ‘Aparajita Task Force'– will be set up once the Bill becomes a law. The ‘Aparajita Woman and Child Bill (West Bengal Criminal Laws and Amendment) Bill 2024' proposes capital punishment to rape convicts if their actions result in victims' death or send them into a vegetative state. However, BJP leader and Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari proposed amendments to the Bill which were not accepted by the House.In an unprecedented move, the Himachal Pradesh Assembly on Wednesday passed an amended Bill to stop pensions of members disqualified under the anti-defection law. Tightening the noose on defectors, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu introduced the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly (Allowances and Pension of Members) Amendment Bill, 2024, that aims to deter and discourage MLAs from defecting parties by discontinuing their pension.Kicking off the Congress's campaign ahead of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi at a rally in Ramban on Wednesday promised to restore statehood for the people of J&K. Calling the Lieutenant-Governor a ‘raja' (king), Rahul accused the central government of giving the benefits meant for the people of J&K to outsiders. Rahul said, quote, “Aaj Jammu-Kashmir mein raja baitha hua hai. Uska naam L-G hai par hai voh raja which loosely translates to (Today, a king sits in Jammu and Kashmir. His name is L-G, but he is a king,”. He added, “Your wealth is being snatched and given to people from outside. All benefits are being given to outsiders.”As Prime Minister Narendra Modi held talks with his counterpart Lawrence Wong, India and Singapore elevated their bilateral ties to a “comprehensive strategic partnership” on Thursday and signed four Memorandums of Understanding, including one on cooperation in the semiconductor industry. The MoUs are Cooperation in the Field of Digital Technologies, India-Singapore Semiconductor Ecosystem Partnership; Cooperation in the Field of Health and Medicine, and Educational Cooperation and Skills Development.Data accessed by The Indian Express shows, that the number of undocumented Indians crossing over from Canada to the US on foot has reached an all-time high. This spike has placed Canada's visa screening process under the lens — more so, due to parallel concerns over Canada-bound Indian passengers seeking asylum in the UK while in transit. According to the latest US Customs and Border Protection data, an all-time high of 5,152 undocumented Indians entered the US from Canada on foot this June alone.This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 2nd of September and here are the headlines.Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate hours after the probe agency raided his residence today. Reacting to the raids this morning, Khan claimed that the agency has been bothering him for the past two years. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court granted bail to AAP former communications in-charge Vijay Nair in money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy ‘scam' case.  News agency PTI reported, Nair has been in jail for 22 months, where the maximum punishment is seven years.In a flare-up of violence in Manipur's inter-district boundary areas after several months, two people were killed and ten, including two police personnel and a television reporter, injured in gunfire and bombings in Imphal West. An official statement by the Manipur police stated that in an unprecedented attack in Koutruk area, alleged Kuki militants have deployed numerous rocket-propelled grenades using high-tech drones. A senior police officer estimated that seven such “explosives” had been used to target the village. The Army and the Jammu Kashmir Police have launched searches near the Sunjuwan Military Station in Jammu after a soldier was allegedly wounded in gunfire that came from outside the camp. Meanwhile, security sources said three pistols and some ammunition had been seized in Ramgarh sector along the international border in Samba district, prompting searches in the area. Sources further added, the arms and ammunition appeared to be dropped by a drone. Netflix's latest series, IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack directed by Anubhav Sinha, based on the 1999 hijack of the Indian aircraft IC 814 by five terrorists, is in the eye of the storm. According to the news agency ANI, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has summoned the Netflix content head Monika Shergill after social media users accused the makers of the web series of deliberately changing the names of the hijackers to “Bhola” and “Shankar”.Data accessed by The Indian Express shows, that the number of undocumented Indians crossing over from Canada to the US on foot has reached an all-time high.

Welcome back to Underreported Stories! Today we're gonna discuss how the Biden-Harris administration has called voter ID laws “burdensome” and “unnecessary,” but now you have to show some form of identification to get into the Democratic National Convention. Hypocrisy much?! Senator John Fetterman failed to disclose his children's stock portfolios even as he tried to ban lawmakers and their families from owning stocks. The number of US Customs and Border Protection workers who unalived themselves in 2024 is set to surpass the number who unalived themselves in 2023.  A Los Angeles whistleblower is accusing the far-left district attorney of retaliating against him for trying to get the truth out about a sex predator AND a new audit released by the US Postal Service's Inspector General found that a majority of postal facilities audited in our 2024 primary failed to follow the election mail procedures.

This Day in Legal History: Voting Rights ActOn August 6, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, marking a pivotal moment in U.S. legal history. This landmark legislation aimed to eradicate racial discrimination in voting, targeting practices like literacy tests and poll taxes that had disenfranchised African Americans, especially in the South. The Act introduced federal oversight in jurisdictions with a history of discriminatory voting practices, requiring them to obtain federal approval, or "preclearance," before changing voting laws. This measure was crucial in preventing new discriminatory practices from emerging.The Voting Rights Act was a major victory for the Civil Rights Movement, leading to a significant increase in voter registration and participation among African Americans. Its effectiveness and impact on civil rights have made it one of the most important pieces of legislation in American history. However, the Act faced challenges over the years, most notably in 2013, when the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County v. Holder invalidated the preclearance coverage formula, weakening its enforcement. Despite these changes, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 remains a cornerstone of efforts to ensure equal voting rights in the United States.The Department of Energy is set to announce a $2.2 billion investment to enhance the electrical grid across 18 states. This funding, part of the Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) program from the 2021 infrastructure law, will support eight projects aimed at increasing transmission, storage, and distribution capacities to meet rising electricity demand and mitigate risks from extreme weather. These projects will add nearly 13 gigawatts of grid capacity, equivalent to the power of 6.5 Hoover Dams.The investments include constructing 625 miles of new transmission lines in New York, North Dakota, and Montana, and upgrading 400 miles of existing power lines elsewhere. The new transmission lines will enhance the reliability of the Eastern and Western grids and promote wind power development by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Additionally, four Native American tribes in California will use the funding to develop microgrids, improving power reliability in outage-prone areas.In North Carolina, Duke Energy and the state's Department of Environmental Quality will reconstruct an existing power line to bolster the grid in the eastern region. Virginia's Department of Energy will receive funding to address the grid strain from data centers. More GRIP projects will be announced later this year, building on previous investments that have already added significant capacity and transmission lines to the grid.Energy Department Gives $2B to Boost Power Grid Across 18 StatesJustice Clarence Thomas reportedly took additional undisclosed flights on billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow's private jet, according to new records obtained by the Senate Finance Committee. Committee Chair Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) received documents from the US Customs and Border Protection showing that Thomas and his wife, Ginni, traveled from Hawaii to New Zealand and back on Crow's jet in November 2010. Wyden is seeking more information from Crow's attorney to understand the extent of Crow's undisclosed gifts to Thomas, which could inform potential legislation regarding federal financial disclosure laws, gift tax returns, and audit requirements for Supreme Court justices.Wyden's letter follows calls for Supreme Court reform, particularly since former President Trump's appointments solidified a conservative majority. President Biden has supported 18-year term limits for justices and an enforceable ethics code. Recent ProPublica reporting revealed that Thomas accepted lavish vacations and private jet travel from Crow without disclosure. Although Thomas updated his financial disclosures in June, he only reported an eight-day trip to Indonesia on Crow's yacht.Wyden's investigation includes examining whether Crow evaded taxes by claiming business deductions for personal trips taken with Thomas. Crow's spokesperson dismissed Wyden's request, asserting that previous inquiries had been addressed and were intended to harass. The Finance Committee, however, has the authority to obtain Crow's taxpayer records, though Wyden prefers voluntary compliance. The Supreme Court has yet to comment on the matter.Thomas Took More Undisclosed Flights, Senate Panel Says (1)On August 5, a U.S. judge ruled that Google violated antitrust laws by spending billions to create an illegal monopoly and establish itself as the world's default search engine – paying for the privilege with companies like Apple, and its Safari web browser, and Mozilla, with Firefox. This decision marks a significant win for federal authorities challenging Big Tech's market dominance. The ruling sets the stage for a second trial to determine possible remedies, which might include breaking up Google's parent company, Alphabet.U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta declared Google a monopolist, noting its control of 90% of the online search market and 95% on smartphones. The process for implementing remedies could be prolonged, potentially extending into 2026 due to appeals. Alphabet's shares dropped 4.5% following the announcement.The ruling follows allegations that Google paid $26.3 billion in 2021 to maintain its search engine as the default on smartphones and browsers. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland praised the decision as a historic win, emphasizing that no company is above the law. The White House also hailed the pro-competition ruling as a victory for Americans.This case, initiated during the Trump administration, is the first major decision among several antitrust cases against Big Tech. It underscores bipartisan support for antitrust enforcement, as highlighted by Senator Amy Klobuchar. Other companies facing similar lawsuits include Meta, Amazon, and Apple.The Google case is the first major antitrust action since Microsoft's settlement in 2004 over its Internet Explorer monopoly. The drawn-out legal process may delay any immediate impact on consumers, but it signals a robust stance against monopolistic practices in the tech industry.Google has an illegal monopoly on search, US judge finds | ReutersGoogle illegally maintains monopoly over internet search, judge rules | AP NewsIn my column this week, I speak a bit about how state tax authorities could better serve small businesses.A proposal before the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC) aims to revolutionize sales tax compliance through voluntary audits for complex retail establishments with substantial annual receipts. The Sales Tax Compliance Assurance Review program seeks to foster a cooperative relationship between tax authorities and businesses, emphasizing education and support over punishment. To maximize its effectiveness, states should be encouraged to opt in via information-sharing agreements and by showcasing success stories.The program's prospective approach involves real-time reviews and resolutions for compliance issues, rather than retrospective audits. This allows businesses to identify and resolve issues early. Retailers with complex tax situations can apply for the program, starting with pre-audit conferences to introduce their recordkeeping systems to tax authorities. State tax administrations would benefit from enhanced compliance and useful data for future audits, while businesses could have their practices reviewed outside of formal audits.However, the program's success hinges on broader state participation. Currently, only 26 states are MTC members, excluding major states like Pennsylvania, New York, and California. More states must join to create uniform sales tax policies nationwide. Demonstrating the program's benefits in participating states could encourage others to join.Additionally, a certification process for point-of-sale (POS) systems should be integrated into the program. This would involve developing criteria for POS systems' compliance with sales tax laws, allowing developers to apply for certification. Certified systems would provide retailers with assurance of good-faith compliance, reducing the likelihood of audits based on software use alone.This expansion would enhance the MTC's program, aligning with its goals by offering additional compliance support for retailers. If the MTC implements these enhancements, it could pave the way for real-time tax remittance and a fully digitalized sales tax system.Voluntary Audit Proposal Needs More State Buy-Ins to Work Best This is a public episode.

[originally published on Patreon May 18, 2023] Today I'm joined by John Brisson of We've Read the Documents (@weve_read) to finish our discussion about the Finders. Brisson explains the flophouses and the day-to-day activities that the Finders seemed to engage in.  Then, we go through the list of Finders members and associates. There was probable pedophile Roy Mason, zany doctor Hunter "Patch" Adams, polyamorous pioneer Michael Versace Rios, Carl R. Schleicher and Mankind Research Unlimited, Christopher Peter Bird, Robert Schwartz, Ken Keyes Jr., Dr. Carl Betz Shapley, Edwin Elkin and potential ties to the CoS, and Mildred Jensen Loomis and her commune. We discuss Norman Mailer's relations with the Finders, Gerry Davis, and the curious case of Steve E. Beltz. Beltz raises the possibilities of ties to Kenneth Grant-style magick.  Finally, Brisson walks us through the events of the Tallahassee Incident of 1987 and why he believes the account of US Customs agent Ramon J. Martinez. We attempt to make sense of what the Finders were based on what can be proven with documentary evidence. artwork by Dakota Links: ⁠https://twitter.com/weve_read⁠ ⁠https://linktr.ee/weveread⁠ Songs:

Ex-federal agent Robert Mazur shares his experiences working undercover to infiltrate drug cartels, offering insights into the challenges involved. Pt 2/2. [Pt 1 can be found here!] What We Discuss with Robert Mazur: How Robert, working undercover for US Customs and the DEA, posed as a money launderer to infiltrate Pablo Escobar's Medellin cartel and other criminal organizations. Money laundering enables cartels to produce their most lethal product: corruption. Corrupt officials and governments facilitate drug trafficking operations. Money laundering methods are highly sophisticated, involving legitimate businesses, secret codes, and multi-national operations to evade detection. Banks and the global financial system need to change to combat money laundering effectively, with severe penalties for those involved in facilitating the flow of illicit funds. Despite the risks and close calls, Robert continued his undercover work to gather intelligence and evidence against drug cartels until it became clear that the price his family was paying was not worth continuing.

What We Discuss with Robert Mazur: How Robert, working undercover for US Customs and the DEA, posed as a money launderer to infiltrate Pablo Escobar's Medellin cartel and other criminal organizations. The extensive planning that goes into an undercover operation, including developing a detailed backstory, establishing fake businesses, and coordinating with informants and other agents. How Robert built rapport with targets by researching their interests, using active listening, and offering them gifts to gain their trust. Undercover agents must be laser-focused on their targets and avoid thinking about their personal lives, as any slip-up could compromise the operation and endanger their safety. During trials, these agents must be prepared for defense attorneys' tactics, such as role reversal, and maintain their composure to avoid compromising the case or their credibility in front of the jury.

Scott Tatum is a seasoned veteran in the fields of emergency medicine and tactical medical support. With over 35 years of experience, Scott's career has spanned the adrenaline-fueled roles of helicopter rescue work, street medic, and currently, the med team leader for a county sheriff's Bomb Squad and Tact Team, in addition to teaching tactics to aircrew members for US Customs and Border Protection Air & Marine Operations. This episode, however, takes us on a different kind of mission: Scott shares the profound and personal story of fulfilling a promise to his mother as she faced the end of her life due to aggressive cancer. The decision to ensure her passing was without suffering, the conversations had, the goodbyes shared, and the ultimate act of love and duty performed. Scott opens up about the mental and emotional toll this experience exerted on him, leading to a complete erasure of his memories of his mother before that fateful day. Despite undergoing extensive therapy, including EMDR, the memories remain elusive, sparking questions about the impact of high-stress professions on personal relationships and mental health. Join us as Scott reflects on his incredible journey through medicine and rescue, the challenges of compartmentalizing professional and personal identities, and the silent struggles that professionals like him face.
