For many decades I used the nyme "3 Days of the Condor" shortened in this venue to 3dc all based on the last scene in that 1975 movie. For some reason most people did not get it or would smirk. Well with what is coming out in the USAID unveiling by Musk and Company it is quite clear that the ending in that movie was quite correct. That being that MEDIA and the NY-Times in particular were completely controlled assets of the "CIA". To remind folk who never saw the movie or might not have been born yet, here is that last scene:

I used to think when Higgins (Cliff Robertson) said, "Are you sure" (the NYT will print it) that he was just messing with Redford. Now I think he knew they would not print it, because the CIA would prevent it.
So that's yesterday's conspiracy theory; today's revelatipn.

If you control the media and the money, and are free to task the military, what else is necessary.
[Federalist] If the Danes don’t want to sell Greenland and the locals don’t want to form the 51st state, President Donald Trump is left with a third option.
But if the Danes don’t want to sell Greenland and the locals don’t want to form the 51st state, President Trump can pursue an agreement called a Compact of Free Association (COFA).
Managed by the Department of the Interior, a COFA is a mutual agreement with select countries that are guaranteed U.S. support and protection in exchange for exclusive regional access. Under these compacts, co-opted states receive limited economic assistance and allow the American military to maintain an exclusive security presence without the host territory’s forfeiture of national sovereignty. A COFA signed with Greenland would give the U.S. rights to manage regional security while the island maintains relative autonomy from both the United States and Denmark.
The U.S. currently has COFA agreements with a trio of Pacific nation-states. The U.S. provides military defense in exchange for military access, immigration privileges, and financial aid. COFA agreements govern the U.S. relationship with the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), and the Republic of Palau. The security arrangements give the Pentagon greater ability to counter Chinese aggression in the Pacific just as a compact with Greenland would provide an additional buffer in the Arctic.
Please note that Great White North refers affectionately to Canada only, not the global northern latitudes.

[GatewayPundit] WAYNE ROOT: President Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE are Super Heroes. Here is a Creative 3-Part Proposal for Elon that Will Supercharge DOGE Times 1,000.
With President Trump’s direction, coordination and approval, Elon and his team of young genius coders and “algorithm Houdini’s” have proven our tax money has been ripped off, looted and wasted.
Elon and his team have found the Deep State/DC Swamp/CIA slush fund.
But now let’s take this discovery to the next logical conclusion…
A) This is not limited to USAID. We will find the same theft, looting, waste and fraud in every government agency.
B) Start thinking- who got the loot? For over 20 years- first as a guest on thousands of talk shows…then for ten thousand hours as host of my own TV and radio shows for the past decade…I’ve screamed from the highest mountains that everyone in government – from the politicians to the government bureaucrats- are all making $170,000 a year (or more) PLUS ALL THEY CAN STEAL.
So now, we must come to the next logical conclusion. Finding money is missing, stolen or wasted is one thing. But now the DOJ, FBI and Treasury agents must get involved- along with forensic accountants. We must trace where it all went and who got a cut.
Then the indictments, arrests and perp walks must begin. And equally important, we must begin the process of clawing back all the money.
Any politician or government bureaucrat who got a cut must be held financially accountable. Seize their bank accounts, offshore accounts, homes, cars and all other assets- along with arresting and perp walking them.
Now to my three ideas to speed this process along…
Elon should offer a $1 billion award- this will capture the attention and imagination of the whole country (and the whole world). This $1 billion pool of reward money will go to all the people who come forward to rat out the government theft, fraud, looting, waste and bribery. This will dramatically speed up the discovery. Greed will motivate thousands of people to come forward to report these crimes.
Second, offer amnesty and immunity to the criminals themselves. If they turn themselves in now, and confess, and hand over what they’ve stolen, and rat out all the others involved, they get immunity- no prison, no fines. And they get part of the reward money for every dollar the government claws back based on their tip and/or testimony.
Third, don’t just investigate government spending. Go straight to “the source.” Hire teams of your young MIT geniuses, and coders, and forensic accountants to investigate every member of Congress and every agency head who is a multi-millionaire.
We know they’re all crooked. How did they make millions, or tens of millions, on a $170,000 salary? They’re all suspect. Make them prove where their money for their mansions, yachts, private jets and millionaire’s lifestyle came from.
[CTH] This is a good strategic move. Security Clearances are the credentialed currency of those who work in the DC administrative state. Specifically, a lawyer inside the DC machine is essentially of no value without a security clearance.
Additionally, the absence of a security clearance opens up both parties in DC to legal exposure from discussing or receiving information that is defined by the apparatus as NSI (national security information). And the cherry on the top of the proverbial cake is that Lawfare uses their definitions of NSI in an attempt to stop sunlight on their corrupt activity.
Revocation of security clearances is a win, win, win; a triple whammy.

_________ Do currently have a Security Clearance ?
_________ Has your Security Clearance ever been suspended or revoked? Explain below.
[X] Random federal judges in blue state backwaters have no authority to unilaterally dictate who the President may talk to or what data he can access. John Roberts and SCOTUS have two options here: they can bring these inferior malcontents to heel, or they can get used to the President simply ignoring these inferior courts or Congress eliminating them entirely.
Congress created these inferior courts so the Supreme Court wouldn’t have to deal with every federal case by itself. But if these rogue inferior judges are going to routinely issue lawless decisions that the Supreme Court has to deal with anyway, Congress would be well within its rights to just eliminate them.
Roberts and SCOTUS can immediately put these lawless judges in their place, or Roberts can watch his caseload go up 1000x and his court’s precious perceived legitimacy crater overnight.
The age of tolerating this nonsense is over.
District Federal Judges should be limited to their district regional cases and legal issues.When the President issues an Executive Orders it is a NATIONAL Issue and if challenged, it should be solely address by the US Supreme Court.
Also, any judgment by the SCOTUS must be required to cite where in the US Constitution such a ruling justified. We must be a Nation ran and operated under the US Constitution, not politically or DEI mind people.
It wasn’t just the US State Department and very rich Progressives, but also USAID has been working since Barack Obama was president to prevent/overthrow Bibi Netanyahu.
[PJMedia] In July of 2023, just a few months before the horrific events of October 7 and the war we have all been suffering through subsequently, I was in Israel with my family for two weeks. It was an amazing journey filled with the beauty and magic that can only happen in the Holy Land, which brought us both King David and Jesus. But I was shocked at the time by the demonstrations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, sponsored mostly through an Israeli NGO called Blue and White Future. They were too well organized to be "organic," and clearly seemed like BLM 2.0 in their tone and behavior. Now, with the latest information uncovered by DOGE about USAID, we know that I was right: They were not organic Israeli demonstrations, but were unknowingly funded by U.S. taxpayers.
As an alumnus of UC Berkeley (1984), I have some experience with organic demonstrations. They never start or end on time, and are always chaotic. But in Israel, I saw protests against Netanyahu that were produced like a well-oiled machine. I was in my hotel room in Jerusalem and saw from my window an "organic demonstration" start promptly at 10:00pm; end exactly at 10:30pm; and be run by coordinators using a high-end professional sound system that must have cost at least $5000. It just didn’t look like any demonstration I had ever seen before.
And this was consistent throughout the country. Expensive billboards in Tel Aviv had a black fist (ala Black Power salute) on a bright yellow background with the Hebrew word "Resist" in large letters. Marches were taking place that had food stands along the way giving out free juices, sandwiches, and even expensive sun umbrellas by the thousands. This seemed to clearly be an extremely well-funded and well-planned attempt at a political coup against Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli elected officials.
Thanks to the good work being done to dismantle USAID, we now know that it was just that: an attempt to create political upheaval and hurt Netanyahu. Much of the funding came through USAID, which in 2023 gave NIS 14,000,000 (almost 4 million USD) to Blue and White Future and the Kaplan protest.
A little research on Blue and White Future leads to even more disturbing information. It is a NGO that has a history of operating outside the legalities of Israel and possibly the U.S., and was part of the financial sponsorship of the Kaplan Force, which was "moving from defense to attack against what they called a dictatorship." Formed in 2009, the organization was originally created to promote a two-state solution through surrendering Israeli territory. But in 2013, the Obama State Department (probably as an act of Dire Revenge against Netanyahu, who was not going along with Obama’s anti-Israel foreign policy) provided funds for One Voice, a partner of Blue and White Future, and in 2015 they worked together on the anti-Netanyahu political campaign Victory 15 using U.S. taxpayer money to try to influence Israel's election.
By 2023, Blue and White Future had hired the Washington-based public relations firm Trident DMG, founded by Democratic Party strategist Josh Galper, former CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... journalist Eleanor McManus, and infamous Clinton allies and attorneys Adam Goldberg and Lanny Davis.
It seems safe to assume all are extremely expensive, so it’s a good thing the money came from Uncle Sugar…
Blue and White not only got involved in the protests that I saw in Israel, but used American media outlets and social media. It even took out a full-page ad in the New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... to attack Netanyahu.
I believe the NYT got at least $50 mil from USAID, so it’s all in the family.
As a result of all this a few things happened: Many Americans started having a negative view of Netanyahu; an investigation was opened up in Israel if find out if these protests were actually an attempt at a coup; and a perceived divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... ness was projected both within Israel and between Israel and the U.S.
Let’s be clear: Without that perceived divisiveness, Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... would never have planned the evils of October 7. If Israel had been perceived as unified, and if the alliance between the U.S. and Israel had been perceived as strong, the kidnappings, rapes, and murders of October 7 would not have happened.
As an American Jewish leader, I put a large portion of blame for October 7 at the feet of Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run.... , Barak Obama, and the Democratic hypocrites who betrayed Israel, the Jewish people, and Western Civilization.
Yes.
President Trump is 100% correct when he says that had he been president, the horrors of October 7 would not have happened.
Thanks to DOGE, it is clear that Biden and company supported Blue and White Future and its affiliated organizations not only with their words, but with hidden direct contributions of American taxpayers’ money. For misusing taxpayer money, USAID should be dissolved. Against the evils they created through their financial improprieties, we need to fight.
[FoxNews] The European Space Agency (ESA) said Monday that its Euclid space telescope has detected a rare bright halo of light around a nearby galaxy.
Known as an Einstein ring, the halo was captured in photos encircling a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away, which is considered close by cosmic standards. A single light-year is measured at 5.8 trillion miles.
While astronomers have known about the galaxy where the phenomenon was captured for over a century, they were surprised when Euclid revealed the bright glowing ring,
Euclid blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida on July 1, 2023, to begin a six-year mission to explore the dark universe.

Perfect gravitational lensing.

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
