“Researchers of President Kennedy’s assassination have long been familiar with an FBI memorandum dated Nov. 29, 1963, referring to ‘Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency.’ … the CIA faced a barrage of questions concerning Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush’s history with the Agency. The Republican National Convention, at which Bush (nicknamed ‘Poppy’) would receive his party’s nomination for president, was less than a month away. Having once served as a U.S. congressman and ambassador to the United Nations, Bush had also briefly held the directorship of the CIA. Had the GOP nominee concealed not only a longer professional affiliation with the Agency but a link to the murder of a Democratic predecessor 25 years earlier as well? Now, a witness from the night of Nov. 23, 1963, also mentioned in the FBI memorandum, has contacted the Mary Ferrell Foundation (MFF) to try to lend clarity to the mystery with a signed statement.” (06/09/26)
“The United States launched new attacks against Iran after President Donald Trump said Tehran shot down an American military helicopter patrolling the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S. official said the Apache was hit by an Iranian drone. Tehran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard said it hit back with strikes on U.S. targets across the Middle East, including bases in Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait. Iran’s top diplomat said foreign forces near its territory ‘are at constant risk’ but did not mention any role in downing the helicopter.” (06/10/26)
“‘This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House,’ US president Donald Trump claimed the day after an armed would-be assassin attempted to charge through a security barricade at the Washington Hilton. ‘“It cannot be built fast enough!’ US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) agreed: ‘America has a problem. That problem is, it is very difficult to have a bunch of important people in the same place unless it is really, really secure.’ … Trump clearly didn’t believe his own claims concerning presidential security, or he wouldn’t have decided to catch 40 winks in front of thousands of angry basketball fans.” (06/09/26)
“Results are rolling in for closely watched primary contests in Maine and South Carolina on Tuesday, June 9. In the day’s most high-profile race, Maine Democrat Graham Platner − for whom embarrassing revelations about his personal life are threaten to upend his bid to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins − has won the Democratic Senate primary. Platner bested Gov. Janet Mills, who suspended her Senate campaign on April 30, and will face Incumbent Sen. Susan Collins who ran for the Republican nomination unopposed. … South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace’s bid for governor failed after she lost President Donald Trump’s favor by joining House Democrats to compel the release of Justice Department files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The president endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette. Evette will head to a runoff with Alan Wilson, and Mace conceded the race.” (06/09/26)
“Not since the notorious 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) provided for indefinite detention of American citizens, has the annual funding bill been as misused as this year. Embedded in the bill is an insult to every American who values our national sovereignty. The NDAA’s Section 224, the ‘United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative,’ would ‘integrate’ the Israeli military with our own, fusing technology, production, intelligence-sharing, and more. … It is hard to think of a more ‘America last’ position than handing the keys to the Pentagon (and our intelligence community) to a foreign country.” (06/09/26)
“A car bomb in the Moscow region killed a general in charge of heavy ammunition supplies for the Russian army, reports said. The car exploded in Balashikha, killing its driver. He was named in reports as Damir Davydov, head of the Russian defence ministry’s missile and artillery wing. A second car bomb was discovered and blown up by authorities in south-west Moscow, reports said. Throughout the war several audacious assassinations have taken place of senior figures involved in Moscow’s war effort, with Ukrainian security services either claiming responsibility or being blamed by Russian authorities.” (06/10/26)
“For those of us who like to think literacy is a form of liberation, there’s a troubling counterpoint: Mein Kampf. Adolf Hitler wasn’t interested in people thinking for themselves; he insisted they think like him. Propaganda, he recognized, is an assault on reflection: avoid abstraction, parrot slogans, abandon objectivity, and scapegoat your enemies. In forms like Mein Kampf, books contributed to the poison. But for the German theologian and anti-Nazi conspirator Dietrich Bonhoeffer, they could also serve as an antidote.” (06/09/26)
“The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire is taking first steps to appeal its disaffiliation by the Libertarian National Committee, authorizing its state chair to petition the national party’s Judicial Committee on its behalf. In a resolution adopted June 4 and later shared to the LNC’s public Business List, the New Hampshire party’s Executive Committee repudiated a prior endorsement of Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, reaffirmed its compliance with the Libertarian Party’s bylaws and Statement of Principles, and authorized Chair Jeremy Kauffman to formally petition the Judicial Committee on behalf of the disaffiliated state party. … Under Libertarian Party bylaws, the Judicial Committee will have 20 to 40 days after receiving the appeal from Kauffman to hold a hearing.” (06/08/26)

“There are two types of human beings in this world: those who wait for someone to tell them what to do, and those who build structures that force the world to move at their rhythm. Modern state-monopolized education is engineered exclusively for the former. The contemporary school system operates as a direct administrative descendant of the nineteenth-century Prussian factory model.” (06/09/26)
