In July 2023, PenLink merged with Israeli surveillance contractor Cobwebs Technologies, when the latter was acquired for $200 million by private equity firm Spire Capital, which also owns PenLink.
- ICE buys a surveillance system with the capacity to monitor entire neighborhoods: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) purchased access to a powerful neighborhood-wide surveillance system that sweeps up cellphone location data and tracks people over time, according to documents obtained by 404 Media. Built by Penlink, the tools—Webloc and Tangles—enable warrantless geofencing and social-media monitoring. The purchase has drawn criticism from civil-liberties groups, who say that the technology will facilitate dragnet surveillance that will intensify the agency’s increasingly lawless deportation crackdowns.
Our continuing criminal enterprise: A 2020 indictment issued by a U.S. grand jury also referenced the Cártel de Los Soles, alleging that Maduro “helped manage and ultimately lead the Cartel…as he rose to power in Venezuela.”[1]
Amazingly, the CIA is known to have facilitated drug trafficking through the very same Cártel de los Soles in 1990.
In 1993, CBS’s 60 Minutes aired a segment entitled “The CIA’s Cocaine,” which featured interviews with former Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) administrator Robert Bonner and DEA Special Agent (and DEA Station Chief in Caracas) Anabelle Grimm, who told host Mike Wallace about an undercover drug operation in Venezuela involving the Cártel de los Soles in which the CIA assisted the cartel in shipping 200 kilograms of cocaine into the U.S.
The purpose of the operation—called Operation North—was for CIA “assets” in the Venezuelan National Guard who were part of the Cártel de los Soles to gain credibility with Colombian drug cartels who could be busted in future sting operations.
Grimm told Wallace that the CIA believed they could get to Pablo Escobar (infamous Medellín drug cartel kingpin) through this operation, which she found to be “ludicrous.”
The chief figure involved in the operation, Ramón Guillén Dávila, head of the anti-drug national command from 1987 to 1991, was considered the CIA’s top “asset” in the Venezuelan military and “its most trusted man,” as was reported in the Miami Herald.[2]

Christ, Iran? Where the fuck is BRICS, man? Seems Jew Landia and Trump Landia are winning hearts, minds, sanctions, bombings, regime changes, kinetic hell scapes.
Richard Nephew, who coordinated the sanctions on Iran under the Biden administration, in his sadistic book, “The Art of Sanctions” boasted that because of the sanctions, “Iran’s economy went from GDP growth of 3 percent to a 6.6 percent contraction between 2011 and 2012 . Iranian unemployment and inflation remained in the double digits. In 2012, Iran’s currency depreciated threefold in a matter of weeks, resulting in the hemorrhaging of Iranian hard-currency reserves.”
[The Art of Sanctions offers a practical framework for planning and applying sanctions based on two critical factors: pain and resolve. Focusing on lessons learned from sanctions on Iran and Iraq, Richard Nephew provides policymakers with practical guidance on how to measure and respond to pain and resolve to achieve successful sanctions regimes.]
Nephew boasted in the book that the intention was to destroy Iran’s economy, while running propaganda operations designed to trigger unrest against the government due to the economic situation, writing:
The United States took its surgical sanctions approach a step further in June 2013 with a carefully structured set of sanctions on Iran’s automotive sector, denying Iran the ability to import manufacturing assistance but not spare parts for existing autos or whole cars themselves. Iranian manufacturing jobs and export revenue were the targets of this sanction, undermining the Iranian government’s attempt to find non-oil export sectors and ways of employing 500,000 Iranians.
All the while, the United States expanded the ability of U.S. and foreign companies to sell Iranians technology used for personal communications, helping ensure that the Iranian public had the ability to learn more about the dire straits of their country’s economy and to communicate.

Iran
- Death toll in Iran’s protests may be as high as 544: The death toll from Iran’s nationwide protest crackdown has risen to at least 544 people, including 496 protestors and 48 security force members, with more than 10,600 detained, according to the U.S.-based group Human Rights Activists in Iran, which warned the figures are likely to rise. The Associated Press said it cannot independently verify the toll with the internet shut down and phone lines cut off. Iranian state media reports at least 109 security officials have been killed but has released no comprehensive casualty figures.
- Unrest “under total control,” says Iranian foreign minister: Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted on Monday that the situation has “come under total control,” though the claim could not be verified with an internet and telecommunications blackout still in place. Araghchi made the comments to foreign diplomats in Tehran. He also claimed that western powers had turned peaceful protests “violent and bloody to give an excuse” for military intervention. President Donald Trump had previously suggested that the U.S. might intervene militarily if protestors in the country were killed. Iranian state TV broadcast footage on Monday of tens of thousands of pro-government demonstrators after the country’s president called for a “national resistance march.” Araghchi said earlier today that internet services will be restored in coordination with security authorities.
- Iran’s army pledges to defend the country’s “national interests” amid protests: Iran’s army vowed on Saturday to defend the country’s “national interests,” with Iranian officials saying the protests are formally legal, while asserting that security forces are targeting arsonists and saboteurs rather than demonstrators. Authorities accused Israel and “hostile groups” of fueling the unrest, as security forces intensified the crackdown. Iran’s army warned in a statement that anyone suspected of arson could face capital charges as an “[enemy] of God.”
- President calls concerns of the protestors “legitimate,” but denounces “rioters and terrorists”: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged the ongoing protests and said demonstrators have legitimate concerns in a statement on Sunday, while alleging that “rioters” and “terrorists” have killed security forces, emergency workers, and protestors. Iranian state media aired footage it claims shows attacks on police and acts of arson, including a deadly incident at a medical center. State television highlighted funerals held Monday—including that of a three-year-old girl in Kermanshah—while officials called for mass pro-government rallies Tuesday to condemn what they labeled “terrorism.”
- A “very bloody” state clampdown in Iran: Iranian expert and Quincy Institute Vice President Trita Parsi said evidence of a “very bloody” state clampdown in Iran is emerging from people who have connected to the internet via Starlink or left the country with videos, noting that even Iranian state television is now reporting from morgues showing large numbers of body bags. “Perhaps most importantly,” Parsi said, the state TV reporter acknowledged that, while some of the dead may have been violent or armed, “the majority of them are ordinary people, and their families are ordinary people as well.”
- Trump says Iran’s leaders have reached out to discuss a nuclear deal: President Donald Trump said aboard Air Force One that Iran’s leaders have reached out to the U.S.to discuss arranging a meeting for a new “nuclear deal,” while warning Washington could act first amid Iran’s violent protest crackdown. The comments followed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s return to Tehran on January 9 for talks with Oman’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al-Busaidi. Oman hosted indirect U.S.-Iran nuclear talks that preceded the so-called “12-Day War.”
- Netanyahu is “closely monitoring” the situation: Netanyahu said Israel “strongly condemns the mass slaughter of innocent civilians” in Iran. He said he is “closely monitoring developments in Iran,” and added that he hopes that the “Persian nation will soon be freed.”
Oh, what fucking sadistic 2028 POTUS fun is starting to already line up: Jew Landia.
WATER VALLEY, Miss. — Rahm Emanuel is coming — whether Democrats like it or not.
- “There’s two wings in our party right now, and I hope to dominate one of them,” Emanuel, the fiery former Chicago mayor, told Axios in Mississippi last week as he tested his potential 2028 run for president with a focus on education.
- “There’s a resistance wing dominated by Gavin [Newsom]. And there’s a renewal wing that will be as forceful in fighting for America as the other wing is in fighting Trump.”
Why it matters: Emanuel — who was chief of staff under President Obama and a senior adviser to President Clinton — is betting that come 2028, the country and Democratic primary voters will be less focused on President Trump than the party’s base is now.
Jews, man, not giving a fuck about “Democratic Party’s base,” man. They are all neuroperverse, misanthropic, inhumane.

In October, the AFT and the Education Department entered into a court-approved interim agreement. Under that agreement, the department agreed to resume processing student loan forgiveness under the IBR, ICR, and PAYE plans.
“The defendants shall continue processing loan cancellations for borrowers who are eligible for cancellations under the Income-Based Repayment (’IBR’) plan,” said the agreement. “The defendants shall continue processing loan cancellations for borrowers who are eligible for cancellation under the Original Income Contingent Repayment (“ICR”) and Pay As You Earn (“PAYE”) plans as long as these plans remain in effect.” ICR and PAYE will be phased out under the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, but not until 2028.

The principles of international law apply to everyone, including the United States, German Finance Minister and Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil said on Sunday, in reference to President Donald Trump’s threats to seize Greenland.
“It is solely up to Denmark and Greenland to decide about Greenland’s future.
“Territorial sovereignty and integrity must be respected,” Klingbeil said ahead of his departure to Washington for a meeting of finance ministers from the Group of Seven advanced economies.
A US military seizure of the mineral-rich Arctic island from Denmark, a long-time ally, would send shockwaves through Nato and deepen the divide between Trump and European leaders.
“We increase security in the Arctic together as Nato allies, not in opposition to one another,” Klingbeil said.

CBS, Cunt Broadcast System:
Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said Sunday that it’s “quite likely” American companies will have an expanded presence in Venezuela’s oil industry as the country moves on following the removal of former President Nicolás Maduro.
“That’s going to be up to American businesses. That’s certainly a very real possibility,” Wright said Sunday on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”
But Wright said the U.S. has not taken over running Venezuela’s state-owned PDVSA oil and gas company. President Trump on Friday met with oil executives at the White House, and his administration is pressing U.S. oil companies to reenter Venezuela.
“No, today we are running the sale of their crudes. You know, we have a quarantine around their ability to ship oil outside of Venezuela. All of that goes through American crude marketers. And then that crude goes out into the market,” Wright said. “We collect those funds and bring them back to Venezuela to better the lives of Americans and Venezuelans.”

Oh, here we are: Nostalgia! This Sunday is the final broadcast of PBS News Weekend, at least for the foreseeable future. PBS cancelled the show due to the loss of federal funding for public media. As our team signs off the air, anchor John Yang looks back at some of our top stories and highlights over the years.
Here we are: At least $3 trillion is set to flow into data-center-related investments over the next five years, capital that will rely on the might of multiple areas of the credit markets to provide, according to Moody’s Ratings.
Trillions of dollars will need to be invested across servers, computing equipment, data center facilities and new power capacity, and support the boom in artificial intelligence and cloud computing, the ratings firm said in a report on Monday.
Much of that capital will come directly from big tech companies, which are facing rising demand for data centers and the power needed to operate them. Six US hyperscalers — Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc., Oracle Corp., Meta Platforms Inc. and CoreWeave Inc. — are on track to hit $500 billion in data center investments this year, as capacity growth continues, said Moody’s.

More Jew Landia News!
The Schulich Leader Scholarships are non-denominational, meaning they are available to students of all religious backgrounds, including Jewish students. While the program is administered through the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto and was founded by Jewish philanthropist Seymour Schulich.
Ribal Zebian, a student from the city of London in Ontario, Canada, already made headlines last year when he built an electric car out of wood and earned a $120,000 scholarship from it. Now, he’s in the news again for something a little different. Concerned with homelessness in his hometown, Zebian got to work creating a different kind of affordable housing made from fiberglass material. In fact, he’s so confident in his idea that the 18-year-old plans on living in it for a year to test it out himself.
Beginning in May, Zebian, who attends Western University, will attempt to live in the modular home for 12 months.

Like this, he told CTV, he can see every defect and flaw, and experience the shelter in every kind of climate to understand exactly how it can be perfected. He thoroughly believes it can be mass produced and utilized to help alleviate homelessness.
“Are tiny homes the entire answer? No, but it’s a part of the solution,” said London affordable housing advocate Gary Brown, again to CTV. “I’ve seen quite a few going up in other cities, and it’s something London itself is kind of lagging behind a little bit.”

Size? Material? Where? Jesus fucking Christ. This is fully plumbed and with kitchen and and and: Here, on his Instagram, comments:
If you’ve listened to the podcast, you already have some context. I’ve personally 3D-modelled an example of a home that, realistically, 95% of people couldn’t afford today—no offence intended. This would be fetched in the millions. My company is developing a manufacturing system capable of producing this home within a single day of shipment, at a projected cost which is affordable once mass production scales. Land will be a monthly lease to make this price tag more realistic. Demand will be very high once this goal is reached.
I love the concept. I’m not sure about the longevity and safety of fiberglass. We live in Florida and the sun quickly degrades ladders and pools. Additionally, are they hurricane safe? Whole the design may not quite be there yet, Keep up the good work!
What is the interior layout of the proposed houses? How does your concept differ from a mobile home community?
Yeah wait until a hurricane or a tropical storm hits it. Good idea and I hope it works. But in Florida I would really have concerns.
First– I Love this initiative! However PET has been proven to cause loads of health issues. What then? We’re Not downing the idea. Everyone here mostly loves the idea. However, just because a product can work great for the purpose of housing doesn’t mean it should be used. 😍. Keep going! Taking ppl’s concerns & suggestions are the hardest part of all of this type of project. Together we can help create a solution:)
Awesome good work
This is exciting! I can’t wait to hear more. Pay no attention to the naysayers on this post, they just have small lives and live to assert “their knowledge” on posts like this. I think you’re onto something and you seem committed to troubleshooting and seeing this project through. Can’t wait to find out more!
Good questions, many challenges, and keep going.
Could you implement an individual equity type model. That would give individuals a since of ownership and pride in the individual creating clients instead of “homeless residents” msybe they could work toward ownership thru some type of equity account. Earning equity by gaining employment skills or furthering their education, volunteering etc..possibly even some type of micro economy ran by the “clients” creating a sense of pride and ownership. Laundry services, maintenence, landscaping, resale store. Turn it into a launching pad. Invest in the clients reducing long term “system costs” I was director of a non-profit organization. The next blink of an eye and some unfortunate events I am homeless. Not everyone wants to be housed and not everyone wants a hand out. One thing I know for sure is that once you get so far down coming back up is a monumental task. Everyone does deserve shelter and safety. How nice if it could be offered not given and then its their choice to take advantage of it or not. Thank you for your help in a bigger social crisis than most could even imagine! These types of “clients” can be pretty resourceful and everyday they hustling find food, shelter etc…homeless does not always mean lazy. And this i know. Good luck. Message me if there’s ever an extra “spot at the inn”
I applaud you for making an effort to do something constructive. I like craig.neighbor’s ideas, too. Instead of saying we can’t, why don’t we start saying how can we

Is there a way to use some of the plastic that needs recycling? Someone in Africa was making bricks out of recycled plastic.
Can we see a floor plan?
I commend your efforts, but what you are proposing is nothing more than a RV park model home. SIP panel construction using fiberglass is good. I think your concept is better to be used in other countries than Canada due to infrastructure compliance. Further more your revenue model is flawed. How can a homeless person afford a land lease. Your concept is right for mass scale and for homeless only when government owns the land with infrastructure to allow this kind of housing to happen. It may help the homeless but at what cost to society then.
Structural insulated pannels are already on the market. Cut and assemble on a high density polystyrene base at scale with a door and a bathroom fan and you’re 80% done. Kitchen and washroom amenities can be in public building.
Any number of tiny shelters can be theoretically constructed quickly at scale. But local governments either manage to cause highly inflated costs for the implementation, or juat won’t approve tiny hius
I already have land, you can build one on mine and I can live in it if you need another volunteer
3hCould be a great resource if MASS production was available for people made homeless after national disasters?
Read my comment again in full. And as I stated in my comments, that the government would need to own the land to make it work. Run the numbers if government were to pay for the land lease and the housing unit maybe. And where does the government get the money to pay for this? Taxes? More taxes? Municipality budget are stretched as it is. And a common problem of the public, and more so the younger generation, is they think governments just print free money. They do not. Your idea for mass scale housing is good. But that has never been the problem. It is infrastructure, and different countries have different policies for infrastructure. Your concept home would be very difficult to get approved in Ontario and in Canada for many reasons besides it being fiberglass SIP panel mass produced homes. So my last line still stands…at what cost to society then.
you will die of Poisoning like the “fast process FEMA experience “ of the Katrina years ….. You can’t use PET pick a new plastic. # for sure not fiberglass without coatings and proper! cure times
Be careful. There are some very powerful organization (UN_ONS – you can buy a vowel) who will not like this.

Jew Landia: Venezuela. Art of the Steal, Art of Sanctions!
- Bessent says more sanctions can be lifted this week: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the United States could lift additional sanctions on Venezuela as soon as next week to facilitate oil sales and help restart economic investment, adding that nearly $5 billion in Venezuela’s frozen International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) “special drawing rights” could be unlocked to support rebuilding the economy. Bessent also has plans to meet with leaders of the IMF and World Bank to facilitate Venezuela’s international economic engagement, Reuters reported.
[Caracas …The Venezuelan people are calm and firm. Fused into one body with the legitimate government of Nicolás Maduro and now with the acting president Delcy Rodriguez.]
This will not be published in the capitalist media, which is a coincidence…
- Trump signs an E.O. declaring Venezuela’s oil funds “sovereign property: President Donald Trump signed an executive order blocking U.S. courts and creditors from seizing Venezuela’s oil revenue held in U.S. Treasury accounts, declaring the funds sovereign property to be used inside Venezuela to promote “peace, prosperity, and stability,” Reuters reported. The move comes amid pressure from companies like ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil for the government to recognize its claims to lost property and profits. Trump told ConocoPhillips’s CEO the company would recover “a lot” of its losses but dismissed past nationalizations as their “fault.”
- The Venezuelan government has released at least 18 prisoners, human rights groups say: The number of prisoners released in Venezuela has risen to 18, human rights groups told Reuters. The UN Fact-Finding Mission on Venezuela reported that 2,220 people were detained after the 2024 election, with 2,006 later released. More than 200 have been arrested since.
- Protest against U.S. imperialism in Mexico City: Thousands marched through Mexico City to protest U.S. imperialism and foreign intervention, chanting slogans rejecting the Monroe Doctrine and U.S. influence in Latin America, with demonstrators carrying flags and banners defending Venezuelan sovereignty.

Israel’s former top general sought donations from David Ellison and his father, Larry, as part of a billionaire coterie to fund digital paramilitaries aimed at sabotaging pro-Palestine activists. The leaked documents show one planner explaining, “In the jungle, we need more guerrillas and less IDF.”
With Paramount and CBS News now under his control, the younger Ellison has installed self-described “Zionist fanatic” Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief.
Anthony Aguilar, the retired United States Army Lt. Col and former Green Beret who blew the whistle on UG Solutions’ human rights abuses in Gaza, told Grayzone he believes that Israel’s ban on the 37 international aid organizations signals the return of UG Solutions as part of a restructured version of the Israeli-controlled Gaza Humanitarian Foundation scheme.
While it’s unclear where the UG Solutions targeter position will be deployed, if they are being hired for upcoming operations in Gaza, Aguilar says “this shows that the US, though paramilitary contractors, is now going to either directly target, or feed target data to the IDF.”
