People Who Repressed Dissidents in Cuba Are Moving to the U.S.
August 28th, 2024Via: Miami Herald:
Former members of the Cuban regime who have been involved in repressing dissidents on the island have abused the immigration system to come to the United States amid a large exodus from the island, activists with a Miami-based human-rights group said Tuesday.
Cuban exile Tony Costa, the director of the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba, said in a media conference that the organization has built a database of 1,015 members of the Cuban regime who have surveilled, harassed, bullied and imprisoned dissidents, government critics and peaceful demonstrators. Of those, 115 are already living in the U.S., said Rolando Cartaya, one of the organization’s researchers.
Former high-ranking officials in the Communist Party, members of the feared Cuban Interior Ministry, police officers, government attorneys and judges are among the people the organization says have recently arrived in the U.S. and have been identified on the website represorescubanos.com.
They are among the estimated 18% of Cuba’s population that has fled the island in recent years.
“Imminent” by Luis Elizondo
August 28th, 2024“Imminent” by Luis Elizondo is mostly a rehash of information that has been heavily pushed by mainstream media since 2017, plus a more recent claim that the U.S. Government has recovered multiple crashed UFOs (I refuse to use the term, “UAP”) and non human occupants.
Oh, you want details?
There are almost none.
Proof?
Nope.
The entire Luis Elizondo/Tom Delonge/New York Times circus is totally authorized by the DoD and likely orchestrated by the CIA. Nobody is performing any sort of heroic whistleblower function here. All of this has been cleared for public release. The U.S. Government wants us to know: The phenomenon is real.
What the government won’t do is give us any meaningful details. Here are some vague generalities, here are a few low quality videos. Lue writes a book, briefly mentions crashed UFOs and alien bodies, a possible alien implant, his Cadillac, his pets (yes, really), now go away. No more information for you.
I’d recommend the book only to diehard UFO researchers who are interested in the official limited hangout narrative that started in 2017. Some are saying that this is disclosure. At best, it’s limited hangout disclosure.
By far, the most baffling question is why the CIA tasked Elizondo, et al. to do this. To me, that is at least as interesting as questions related to the crashed UFOs and the bodies, etc.
A quick note on one of the most frustrating parts of the book: Elizondo mentions that he and his family experienced multiple orb encounters at home. How many videos of these encounters do you think Lue has offered up to substantiate any of that? Maybe from mobile phones or security cameras in and around the home? Mmm hmm. None.
If you don’t want to read the book, here are some videos that sum it up.
OpenAI Shows New AI Model to U.S. National Security Officials Before Release
August 27th, 2024The main takeaway from this is that OpenAI probably thinks there are national security implications related to their upcoming “Strawberry” AI model.
More extensive commentary on this:
My favorite quote, “You might be pretty certain that the answer to two plus two isn’t cat.”
Via: Maginative:
OpenAI has quietly showcased its latest AI breakthrough, codenamed “Strawberry,” to U.S. national security officials, according to a new report by The Information. This demonstration aligns with the company’s recently announced safety and security protocols, which include providing early government access to new AI models.
Strawberry, previously known as Q*, is reportedly significant technical leap forward in AI capabilities, particularly in complex problem-solving and reasoning. The technology is expected to excel in areas where current AI models struggle, such as mathematical problems and programming tasks.
Prozac in Waterways Is Changing How Fish Behave
August 27th, 2024After reading this article about Prozac pollution and fish, you can probably guess my next search:
“prozac in drinking water”
From 2004, Prozac’s in the Water:
Britain’s Drinking Water Inspectorate noted that the drug “was likely to be found in a considerably watered down form that is unlikely to pose any health risk.” Nevertheless, environmentalists are calling on the government to order an urgent investigation and labeling the slow buildup of the excreted antidepressant into the water a “hidden mass medication.”
An environmental spokesperson for the Liberal Democrat political party in Britain, Norman Baker, told the Observer, “these revelations expose a failing by the government on an important public health issue. It is alarming that there is no monitoring of levels of Prozac and other pharmacy residues in our drinking water.”
Anyway, back to the fish…
Via: Guardian:
Contamination of waterways with the antidepressant Prozac is disrupting fish bodies and behaviours in ways that could threaten their long-term survival, new research has found.
As global consumption of pharmaceuticals has increased, residues have entered rivers and streams via wastewater raising concerns about the effects on ecosystems and wildlife.
Research published in the journal of Animal Ecology found low concentrations of fluoxetine – an antidepressant commonly known as Prozac – reduced the body condition and sperm vitality of male guppies over multiple generations.

Zuckerberg Admits Facebook Censorship on Covid and Hunter Biden Laptop
August 27th, 2024Mmm hmm.
Via: ZeroHedge:
In a stunning Monday evening letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg admitted that senior Biden administration officials “repeatedly pressured” Facebook teams to suppress information related to COVID-19 that the platform would not have otherwise censored – and the administration ‘expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.’
Zuck now says that Facebook should not have compromised its standards “due to pressure from any Administration in either direction.”
“I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” reads the letter. “I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn’t make today.”
He’s also committed and “ready to push back if something like this happens again.”

Israel Launched “Preemptive” Strike On Hezbollah In Lebanon ‘To Prevent Major Attack’
August 25th, 2024Via: ZeroHedge:
Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia in Lebanon, exchanged some of the heaviest fighting in months on Sunday as fears mount that a direct Iranian retaliatory strike on Israel could spark an all-out regional war.
Israel’s military launched preemptive strikes in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah’s high-value targets after allegedly detecting movement on the ground that militia forces were preparing to launch a barrage of missiles, rockets, and kamikaze drones into Israel.
Canada: Taxpayer Funded Surgery to Create Vagina for “Non Binary” Ontario Resident with Penis
August 25th, 2024Your what hurts?
Via: CTV News:
An Ontario resident has successfully secured public funding for a specialized gender-affirming surgery argued to be “experimental” by the provincial health insurer following a years-long legal battle.
The prospective patient, identified only as K.S. in documents filed with the provincial Health Services Appeal and Review Board (HSARB), was seeking coverage under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) for a penile-preserving vaginoplasty, a procedure in which a vaginal cavity is surgically created while keeping the penis intact.
