“Active duty CIA officer James Erdman III testified in front of the Senate Oversight Committee on Wednesday about Agency obfuscation of findings around the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. In his prepared remarks, he made an explosive detour into the JFK case. He stated that the CIA took back control of 40 boxes of documents that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was reviewing for declassification under President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14176. That January 2025 decree ordered the release of records concerning the JFK, MLK and RFK assassinations.” (05/13/26)

NY: Man Found Guilty in Chinese “Secret Police Station” Case

Source: US News & World Report

“A New York man was ⁠found ⁠guilty on Wednesday of acting as an unregistered ⁠agent of the Chinese government after a trial over federal prosecutors’ allegations that he operated ​a ‘secret police station’ on behalf of Beijing in Manhattan’s Chinatown neighborhood. Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn said Lu Jianwang, 64, should have alerted the U.S. Attorney General ‌that he was a Chinese agent ‌when he helped open the so-called police station in 2022. They also said he helped China’s government locate a pro-democracy activist living ⁠in California. Lu was ⁠arrested in April 2023. He had pleaded not guilty to the three felony charges ​he faced: conspiracy to act as an unregistered foreign agent, acting as an unregistered agent of China, and obstruction of justice. A jury in Brooklyn federal court reached the verdict after a weeklong trial.” (05/13/26)

The Perfect Storm for ADHD Overdiagnosis

by Adam Omary and Jeffrey A Singer

“The sharp increase in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses — nearly doubling among American children between 1997 and 2022, and more than tripling among adults from 2012 to 2023 — has been chalked up to better screening, increased awareness, and the corrosive effects of smartphones and social media on developing brains. None of these factors holds up well under scrutiny. The diagnostic category itself has been steadily widened by the institutions that define it and the financial structure that rewards every participant for applying the ADHD label.” (05/13/26)
