Only a few months after it was revealed that the FBI labeled Catholics who attend Latin Mass as extremist, an information request from the Heritage Foundation found that the FBI uses some dozen words to flag "violent extremism."

These slang terms, as seen on social media, are Chad, Looksmaxxing, It's over, Roastie, NEET, Normie, Blue Pill, Red Pill, Black Pill, Stacy, Based, and LARPing. The FBI defines the key terms, along with other terms that are decidely racist, and links the slang terms to these racist ideas.

The FBI's "Domestic Terrorism Reference Guide" on "Involuntary Celibate Violent Extremism" offer a threat overview for incels that aims to identify them by the slang they use. It discusses how "incels" are men who "seek to commit violence in support of their belief that society unjustly denies them sexual or romantic attention, to which they believe they are entitled." The guide goes on to describe that these men "blame political or social movements, such as feminism, for empowering others to deny them romantic or sexual attention."

U.S. and European officials scrambled to understand how dozens of classified documents covering all manner of intelligence gathering had made their way online with little notice...

On Saturday, as U.S. officials and their foreign allies scrambled to understand how dozens of classified intelligence documents had ended up on the internet, they were stunned — and occasionally infuriated — at the extraordinary range of detail the files exposed about how the United States spies on friends and foes alike.

The documents, which appear to have come at least in part from the Pentagon and are marked as highly classified, offer tactical information about the war in Ukraine, including the country's combat capabilities. According to one defense official, many of the documents seem to have been prepared over the winter for Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other senior military officials, but they were available to other U.S. personnel and contract employees with the requisite security clearances.

Other documents include analysis from U.S. intelligence agencies about Russia and several other countries, all based on information gleaned from classified sources.

As the United States combats a recent flood of countries 'de-dollarizing' - trading commodities in other currencies, the last thing that was needed was French President Emanuel Macron amplifying this message.

After spending around six hours with Chinese President Xi Jinping as part of a three-day state visit to China, Macron made extremely clear that France wants nothing to do with WWIII, emphasizing that Europe must employ "strategic autonomy," presumably led by France, to become a "third superpower," according to Politico.

While speaking with reporters aboard COTAM Unité, France's Air Force One, the French President said that the "great risk" facing Europe right now is that it "gets caught up in crises that are not ours, which prevents it from building its strategic autonomy."

This isn't the first time Macron has suggested reducing dependence on the US. In November, the French President called for a "single global order" while discussing the power interests of Russia and China and the threat of war.

"We are in a jungle and we have two big elephants trying to become more and more nervous. If they become very nervous and start a war, it will be a big problem for the rest of the jungle. You need the cooperation of a lot of other animals, tigers, monkeys and so on."

Former President George W. Bush's press secretary laid out a plan to end Democratic persecution and prosecution of Donald Trump during an interview Wednesday on Fox News.

Network contributor Ari Fleischer told host Sean Hannity that Democrats will continue to go after the former president and leading contender for the 2024 GOP nomination until Republican prosecutors begin indicting top Democratic officials like Hillary Clinton and the Bidens.

"One of the raps against Donald Trump is that he violates the norms and as a result the Democrats had no choice, prosecutors had no choice. What's happened to Donald Trump is actually the real violation of the norms. He was impeached the first time by a process that did not even go through the Judiciary Committee. They've wrecked a bipartisan intelligence committee at the hands of Adam Schiff to get Donald Trump.

"The second time they tried to impeach him, knowing they would not succeed, they didn't even go through that process. They went right on the floor and shoved it down everybody's throats. And now you have a prosecutor in an overwhelmingly lopsidedly ideologically Democrat, 85-15 Democrat to Republican Manhattan going after Donald Trump.

"Here's what I hope happens. I earnestly hope that conservative prosecutors in rural areas of America indict Bill Clinton, indict Hillary Clinton, indict Hunter Biden. The only way to stop this and return to the norms is for one side to realize if they go too far, the other will match them.

"That's not the way we settle our disputes in America. They should be settled at the ballot box and not through the courts. But Republicans cannot unilaterally disarm. You can't let them try to interfere in the 2024 election by doing to Donald Trump what they're doing. And I say as someone who criticized Donald Trump when he goes too far. Democrats are violating the norms, and they are especially doing it through this weak case in Manhattan."

Fleischer is not the only Republican to make such a suggestion.

US President Joe Biden ordered airstrikes on a number of positions in northeastern Syria last month, after Washington announced the death of a contractor in a drone strike.

What followed was an unprecedented response from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and allied militias, shelling US positions throughout the duration of the following day. This exchange of fire marks a turning point in the conflict between the two sides.

On March 23, the US Department of Defense claimed that a drone of Iranian origin had struck US forces stationed near al-Hasakah in northeastern Syria, killing an American contractor and injuring a number of service members. F-15 fighter jets were subsequently launched from Doha in order to target Iranian-allied militia groups in the Deir ez-Zor province of Syria.

In recent years, there have been several exchanges between US and Iranian-allied militia groups in the east of Syria. However, these rarely resulted in American casualties and the brief escalations were controlled.

Conservative scholar and historian Victor Davis Hanson appeared on the Tucker Carlson show this week and suggested that the United States is in a revolution and people don't realize it.

Hanson was referring to the Democrats and their relentless efforts to 'get' Trump no matter the cost. He called it third world election tampering and also said that the U.S. has lost all moral authority. Hanson told Carlson:

"What we're seeing is not the end of it. Tonight was the very beginning. This is going to go on to three prosecutors for a year and a half, with the intent of getting just enough empathy for Donald Trump that he will be nominated and then see him gag-ordered and maybe even seeing him incarcerated to nullify his viability in the general election."

"It's the worst example of third-world election tampering. They don't have a message, so whether it's symbolically tearing up the State of the Union or denying the Speaker or the Minority Leader in the House appointments or trying to threaten the filibuster to be ended or the electoral college or pack the court, it's all processed because they don't have a message and they are desperate."

"We are in the middle of a revolution that we don't even know we're in. I think Donald Trump said as much as he could but I imagine in the next week we'll see a gag order leveled against him and then the other prosecutors will be encouraged and then this cycle will go on for a year and a half."

The Tunisian president earlier said the cash-strapped nation would reject an IMF bailout...

Tunisia is considering becoming a member of the BRICS economic bloc, the spokesman for the pro-presidential 'July 25 Movement' told Russia's RIA Novosti news agency on Sunday.

Mahmoud bin Mabrouk cited unnamed sources in the North African country's government as saying the option of joining the organization - comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - is being considered among the other possibilities.

"I have information that Tunisia is seriously considering joining the BRICS group."

Earlier this week, Tunisian President Kais Saied spoke out against "foreign diktats" from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is in stalled talks over a bailout package for the cash-stripped nation.

The head of state highlighted that the terms of a $2 billion loan deal proposed by the Washington-based organisation would worsen the poverty crisis in the heavily indebted country.

South Korean officials said Sunday they will "come up with our response accordingly" after revelations that the U.S. reportedly spied on its close ally and gathered signals intelligence related to South Korea's internal debate over weapons sales to the U.S., and Seoul's fears that those weapons would ultimately end up in Ukraine.

Officials in Seoul said they'll raise the alleged spying — which came to light as part of a major leak of sensitive documents over the weekend — with their U.S. counterparts.

For both countries, the timing is delicate. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is scheduled to visit Washington and join President Biden for a state dinner at the White House on April 26.

"We will review precedents and instances involving other countries, and come up with our response accordingly," a South Korean presidential official said Sunday after being asked about the revelations, according to the country's Yonhap News Agency.

The script reads like a spoof straight out of legendary Mad magazine 1960's cartoon "Spy vs. Spy": Secret Pentagon Documents Fall in the Hands of Malign Russia. Well, actually in the hands of millions accessing Twitter and Telegram.

So here, at face value, we have a major leak essentially detailing Pentagon planning for the next stage of the NATO vs. Russia proxy war in Ukraine: the interminably debated Spring "counter-offensive" that may, or may not, start in mid-April, as well as war plans shared with FVEY - the Five Eyes.

The leaked intel might - and the operative word is "might" - be advantageous to Russia were this not to be misdirection: and the possibility is quite real.

The inestimable Ray McGovern, who knows one or two things about the CIA, noted whether the Pentagon is "falsifying kill-ratio to gild Easter lilies in Kyiv? Recent leak of an apparently official NATO document shows 71,500 Ukrainians KIA and only 16,000 to 17,500 Russians, a far cry from earlier Pentagon 'estimates'. All sounds so Vietnam-déjà vu!"

So this may be Vietnam all over again - never count on the Pentagon learning from their mistakes - but could be something way more alarming, according to a top Beltway intel source, retired: "Our interpretation of this breach is that intel sources in the United States have released critical intel data in order to avoid a nuclear war with Russia."

As it stands, the only certainty is that the spin war has gone berserk. So the leaker may have been a - disgruntled - U.S. insider. No, wait: the whole thing may be fake, as the Pentagon insists. In spin speak, that would be an attempt to "spread false information that could harm the U.S.".

Tweaked or not, the "secret" Pentagon comparative war dead ratio between Russians and Ukrainians still does not make sense. The numbers appear to reflect Bakhmut/Artemovsk casualties, where Russian casualty ratios were highest. Yet reliable on the ground Russian military correspondents assure the ratio is really 10 to 1, with the Russians employing the snail technique combined with a formidable artillery mincing machine.

Delegates representing Saudi Arabia and Oman arrived in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, on Saturday to discuss a permanent ceasefire to end the civil war which has raged in the country since 2014.

The fighting is being waged primarily between the Saudi-backed Yemeni government and the Houthi rebels - both of whom claim to be the country's official leaders - along with their various allies.

The Houthi-operated Saba news agency reported on Sunday that the Saudi and Omani envoys will attempt to negotiate with Houthi officials to end the fighting, bring to a close Riyadh's military involvement, and lift "the siege with all its repercussions."

Saba also said the talks are aimed at restoring the rights of Yemeni citizens, including the payment of state salaries with revenue derived from oil and gas. The lifting of a Saudi-imposed blockade on Yemeni ports will also be discussed, as well as the establishment of a timeline for foreign military forces to leave the country, Reuters reported.
