Four thousand National Guard soldiers were also deployed.Their presence in the city had been limited to two locations with federal buildings in Los Angeles, including the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and detention facility downtown.

Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead at The Rutherford Institute. “When the states legalize the deliberate ending of certain lives… it will eventually broaden the categories of those who can be put to death with impunity.”—Nat Hentoff, The Washington Post, 1992 Bodily autonomy—the right to privacy and integrity over our own bodies—is rapidly vanishing. The debate now extends beyond forced vaccinations or invasive searches to include biometric surveillance, wearable tracking, and predictive health profiling. We are entering a new age of algorithmic, authoritarian control, where our thoughts, moods, and biology are monitored and judged by…
A new medical study of military toxic exposure symptoms set to be published this month indicates that individuals who served around dangerous burn pit smoke may face a greater risk of mental health and brain trauma issues. The research, conducted by the National Institutes of Health in conjunction with the Defense Department and Department of Veterans Affairs, analyzed the health records of nearly 440,000 troops who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan from 2001 to 2011. The findings show higher rates of depression, mood disorders, intracranial injuries and traumatic brain damage among troops stationed near toxic burn pits, giant waste fires…
Ukrainian drones have targeted Moscow, and in retaliation, Russia has struck Kiev with missiles. This war is continuing, regardless of the West’s interference, sanctions, or threats. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) were intercepted over Rostov, Belgorod, and Moscow regions overnight, according to officials. Russian air defenses were able to destroy dozens of incoming Ukrainian drones across multiple regions on Sunday night and early Monday morning. Kiev has intensified its UAV raids deep into Russian territory over the past week, even after calling for renewed peace talks. At least 13 drones headed toward the Russian capital were intercepted by 6:30 am Monday,…
The head of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, will be reshuffled into a new position, the Defense Department announced Friday.Navy Vice. Adm. Yvette M. Davids — the first woman to serve as the superintendent of the school — was nominated to become deputy chief of naval operations for operations, plans, strategy and warfighting development. “Vice Adm. Davids has commanded at every level and has led with distinction in some of the most complex security environments of our time,” Navy Secretary John Phelan said in the release announcing her reassignment. “Her strategic vision and operational depth will be an…
There was no such thing as a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War… or in Vietnam. Instead, every Marine unit that ventured out on patrol was accompanied by a U.S. Navy corpsman universally known as “Doc.” Although unarmed, the willingness with which these field medics risked their lives to save the riflemen beside them made them widely respected as “honorary Marines.” Their sacrifice on the battlefield often took the form of throwing their bodies over enemy hand grenades, for which many received posthumous Medals of Honor. One such corpsman, Donald “Doc” Ballard,…
A German general is commenting on what Ukraine “should” be doing to further push the world toward a global war. Major General Christian Freuding, who oversees Germany’s military assistance to Ukraine, gave advice to the country that would only ignite more fury from Russia. Freuding also confirmed earlier this month that Ukraine would receive its first batch of long-range missiles financed by Berlin before the end of this month, in less than ten days. Ukraine should consider striking Russian airfields and weapons factories deep inside the country to alleviate pressure on the front, a senior German general has suggested. This…
When researcher James Sladden traveled to Ukraine in August 2022 to document the Battle of Irpin River — a Ukrainian victory early in the war with Russia that had taken place just months before — he was shocked, first of all, by the scale of the destruction inflicted by heavy artillery. A former RAND Corporation researcher and veteran of the British military, he remarked at how different this conventional conflict looked from the insurgent wars of recent decades that had long shaped perspectives on how to fight.“Big war, conventional war, was, for at least my generation, seen as sort of…
A Johnson & Johnson “lead regulatory scientist” was recently caught on hidden camera declaring that it was well known that the COVID injections were unsafe. “People wanted [the vaccine], we gave it to them,” J&J lead scientist Joshua Rys said. When confronted by journalist James O’Keefe, Rys fled the scene, hiding in a restroom before escaping on his electric bike. The cowardice speaks volumes. The vaccine industry’s elite know the truth: their shots were never the “miracle” they sold to the world. According to a report by Natural News, Rys confirmed the COVID-19 vaccines were tested for a short amount of…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. We all understand that mass adoption of humanoid robots is still years out. But the timeline is accelerating—bipedal, autonomous robots and so-called “robo-dogs” are already reaching early adopters. While mass adoption may still be years away, the affordability inflection point could arrive by the early 2030s—perhaps bringing us closer to the kind of household companion seen in Bicentennial Man, the late-1990s film starring Robin Williams. But warning signs around AI and humanoid robotics are already flashing yellow, with a hint of red. First, a recent study from AI research firm Anthropic warned advanced AI bots could be willing to harm humans to avoid being shut…
