Israel is reportedly seeking intelligence to find out whether President Trump and his advisors will resume full-scale war against Iran

The Pentagon is increasingly concerned about Israeli intelligence's efforts to spy on top US officials and has raised the counterintelligence threat level for its closest foreign ally to the highest level, NBC News reported on 5 June.

Citing current and former officials, the US outlet revealed that the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) recently issued a new counterintelligence threat assessment amid differences between Washington and Tel Aviv over how to proceed with the war of aggression against Iran.

The DIA reportedly posted an internal message raising the espionage threat level regarding Israel to "critical." It also identified a series of specific incidents that heightened US concerns, one of the officials said.

Feds launch investigation into California's "elections"

Days after California's primary election, the votes are still being counted, and the winners are still unknown, and no one, save for California officials, seems happy about it.
"The fact that California elections often can't be resolved for weeks is kind of insane and not common in other electoral systems around the world," Political data analyst Nate Silver wrote on X on Tuesday.

"Like honestly 'it's going to take us several weeks to tell you who won the election' is failed state sh-t and should be much more stigmatized. The fact that it's tolerated is bad too a textbook example of learned helplessness."
And President Donald Trump is now demanding answers.

FBI fires analysts who drafted controversial anti-Catholic memo

Catholic church abuse
As Headline USA exclusively revealed in April 2024, the FBI's troubling memo was crafted by analysts involved in an investigation into a schizophrenic man who began attending a traditional Catholic church in early 2022...

Several FBI analysts who drafted a 2023 memo that cited Southern Poverty Law Center information to justify targeting "radical-traditionalist Catholics" as potential violent domestic extremists were fired Friday, according to their lawyer, the latest wave of terminations under the leadership of its director Kash Patel.

The fired employees included four intelligence analysts and a supervisory analyst. The FBI declined to comment.

The January 2023 intelligence product produced by analysts in the FBI's Richmond, Virginia, field office emerged as a political flashpoint after it was issued, with Republicans in Congress repeatedly citing it as part of their broader contention that the FBI during the Biden administration was targeting conservatives.

Comment: The SPLC is at the root of so much malicious targeting. What won't they get up to in order to keep the funding flowing? Of course . . . .

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Does Ukraine Have a Death-Wish? And Does Iran Have a Nuke?

Ukraine's drone waves continue hitting Russia, last week targeting St Petersburg right as its annual 'Russian Davos' forum opened, Azerbaijani grain ships in the Sea of Azov, and the nuclear power plant in Zaporozhye. The Ukrainian puppet regime, egged on as ever by the Western Consortium that runs it, is feeling invincible, but its days are surely numbered.

Meanwhile the American side of the 'US-rael partnership' is showing rare signs of unease over their pact, with anonymous Pentagon sources complaining about the 'critical' extent of Israeli espionage inside the US.

Trump has been noticeably subdued in recent weeks regarding threats to 'obliterate' Iran, so it's worth considering rumors originating in Tehran that its leadership is preparing to demonstrate a 'new-found' nuclear weapons capability. In the meantime, Iran is poised to send new waves of missiles to defend the Lebanese people from Israeli assault...

NATO cover up of catastrophic nuclear threat to Europe gives the heinous game away

Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant
The West's "victim" regime is trying to blow up Europe with a nuclear catastrophe using EU and NATO funding and weapons.

The biggest civilian nuclear power station in Europe was hit for the first time in a direct air strike - and the Western "news" media gave zero reporting on the incident, even though the damage could have had catastrophic consequences for the whole of Europe.

Since Russian forces took over the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in March 2022, the huge facility has come under repeated drone and missile attack from the NATO-backed Ukrainian regime.

The latest strike on May 30, however, explosively penetrated one of the turbine halls in the central part of the plant, not the periphery as in previous attacks. There were no injuries nor radiation fallout, according to Russia's state-owned atomic energy company, Rosatom.

Putin responds to Zelensky's meeting proposal

The Russian president has given his take on an "open letter," in which the Ukrainian leader reiterated Kiev's demands while calling for one-on-one talks.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he sees "no sense" in meeting with Vladimir Zelensky, responding to an open letter from the Ukrainian leader. The "author of the letter" has done everything to make such talks impossible, Putin stated at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), adding that even his latest call for talks included "elements of insolence."

On Thursday, Zelensky published what was described as an "open letter" on his website, where he called on the Russian president to negotiate an end to the Ukraine conflict during a personal meeting. In the letter he described the conflict as Putin's "personal choice" that would allegedly bring "negative consequences" for Russia.

St. Petersburg International Economic Forum • June 03, 2026
The raid came after Vladimir Zelensky suggested that Ukrainian drones could 'pay a visit' to the International Economic Forum.

St. Petersburg has come under a major Ukrainian drone attack, according to the regional authorities, on the closing day of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

More than 140 drones were downed in the early hours of Saturday morning, Leningrad Region Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko said on social media. No casualties or major infrastructure damage were immediately reported.

An air alert was declared overnight and residents were warned to stay indoors. Operations at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport were suspended, with dozens of flights delayed and aircraft diverted to other airports.

The strike follows another major drone raid on the region on June 3, the opening day of the forum, which attracted participants from more than 130 countries this year.

Trump's failed attempts to "Reindustrialize America". A one trillion+ + military budget to supercharge America's "AI-run drone wars"

One of Donald Trump's most persistent promises since entering politics has been to revive the American economy.

He always understood that the United States doesn't have much left of its once-massive real (i.e., production) economy and that it has been mostly replaced by what President Vladimir Putin aptly called the economy of imaginary entities. Trump's initial idea seems to have been the return of civilian manufacturing back to the US, but as soon as he took power, it became clear that this cannot be done. American workers are paid far more than those in countries to which the US outsourced most of its production economy. Relocating manufacturing back to America would be exorbitantly expensive and would inevitably bankrupt the US, as products made in the country would be completely noncompetitive on the global market.

Namely, even if the quality were far superior to that produced in other countries, the price tag would make it unviable for mass production. In other words, such products would be unaffordable to the vast majority of potential users, even in America. Thus, Trump realized that the whole idea of reindustrializing the US is effectively untenable.

Ireland bars two extremist Israeli ministers from entering country

Ireland has taken a firm and principled stand by barring the two extremist Israeli ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, from entering the country over their direct role in the ongoing genocidal war against Gaza and their aggressive, racist policies toward the Palestinian people.

Speaking to reporters in Montenegro on Friday, Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach) Michael Martin sharply condemned the ministers' actions and statements, declaring that they "amount to a desire to see the elimination of Palestinians from Palestine."

Martin confirmed that Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan has instructed officials to prevent any entry by Ben-Gvir, the so-called national security minister, and Smotrich, the finance minister.

The Irish leader further urged the European Union to impose broader measures against the two hawkish figures. Martin said:
"In my view, their behavior justifies sanctions at the EU level as well, and that's something we will raise. Whether we can secure sufficient support across the European Union is a different matter."
EU diplomats are reportedly already discussing possible sanctions targeting Ben-Gvir and Smotrich.

Quick Take...what's up with CBDCs?

© Off-Guardian Org
Have you seen a mainstream headline about central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) so far this year?

Probably not.

What used to be a regular on the front page has been curiously absent. What stories there are have been tucked away, and the tone is decidedly changed:
Is a digital euro necessary for monetary sovereignty? Rethinking the CBDC debate
That's from Santander, riffing off a report from the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), "Central bank digital currency and monetary sovereignty", which concludes [emphasis added]:
the case for CBDC as a prerequisite for monetary sovereignty is weaker than often claimed. History suggests that sovereignty ultimately rests on legal authority and public balance sheets, not on universal access to public money. Confusing money with payments risks misdiagnosing the problem and misallocating policy effort. For Europe, the digital euro may play a useful symbolic role, but the effective defence of monetary sovereignty will continue to depend on regulation, fiscal capacity, and the central bank's willingness to absorb risk when it matters.What used to be a regular on the front page has been curiously absent. What stories there are have been tucked away, and the tone is decidedly changed:
Just a few hours ago, Forbes published this:
The Philippines Went Majority-Digital Without A Super-App Or A CBDC
Which talks up the Philippines' approach, building digital financial infrastructure ("rails") but letting private digital wallet providers compete to use it.

Recent years have already seen several major economies - notably Japan, Australia and Canada - pause or outright abandon CBDC development.

There's a shift in the narrative here, but why? And what does it mean? Is it related to the emerging "multipolarity" we're hearing so much about?
