Explosive: CIA Reportedly Waging Secret Bloody War Against Mexico Cartel

Government sources revealed this week that the CIA is secretly waging war against the Mexican cartel.

Earlier this spring, on one of Mexico’s busiest highways, just outside the country’s capital, an inexplicable explosion destroyed a car carrying an alleged cartel operative in broad daylight.

Francisco Beltran and his driver were both instantly killed by the concentrated blast; their bodies were discovered hunched over in their seats. Images and video from the March 28 attack show the car rolling forward and sliding off the highway after a brief flare of flames.

Numerous sources said the explosion was a targeted killing carried out by CIA operations officers, despite the Mexican government’s intense secrecy surrounding it. The State of Mexico’s Attorney General told CNN that an explosive device had been concealed inside the car.

According to those sources and two other people acquainted with the campaign, the Beltran operation was a part of a larger, previously unknown CIA campaign inside Mexico, led by the agency’s elite and covert Ground Branch, to destroy the established cartel networks.

The Orwellian ‘Kill Switch’ Some Republicans Want In Your Car

Congress quietly passed an Orwellian regulation during former President Joe Biden’s term requiring all new cars to feature a “kill switch,” raising the alarm among some Republicans — but not all of them.

Republicans like Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, Texas Rep. Chip Roy, and Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry have led the charge in the House to scrap the invasive regulation, calling it “impractical” and “Orwellian.” Yet in the most recent January vote to reverse the regulation, 57 Republicans joined nearly every Democrat to mandate that every 2027 model car have a kill switch.

This feature would use technology to assess the driver’s performance and determine whether they are impaired. If the car determines the driver is unfit to be behind the wheel, the kill switch would shut the car off, raising concerns about safety, surveillance, and implementation.

“This is why we lose, the uniparty,” Massie told Tucker Carlson in a recent interview. “I can’t get 218 people to take this provision of law out of law.”

The regulation became law under Biden after Congress passed the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Since then, Massie has led two failed votes to counter the regulation originally intended to curb drunk driving. (Read more from “The Orwellian ‘Kill Switch’ Some Republicans Want In Your Car” HERE)

Mystery of Sunken Russian ‘Ghost Ship’ Grows after Explosions Reported while Carrying Alleged Nuclear Reactors to North Korea

The mystery of how a Russian cargo ship sank deepened after it was revealed that the vessel suffered multiple explosions while allegedly carrying two nuclear reactors believed to be bound for North Korea, according to a new report.

The prevailing theory suggests that the West might have been involved in the incident that saw the Ursa Major sink 60 miles off the coast of Spain on Dec. 23, 2024, CNN reported.

The ship, also known as the Sparta 3, appeared to have been hit by a rare type of torpedo that breached the ship’s hull and forced it to sink to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, according to Spanish investigators.

The investigation suggested that the only thing that could have breached the ship was the Barracuda supercavitating torpedo, a powerful weapon of which only the US, a few NATO countries, Russia and Iran are believed to be in possession.

In the aftermath of the incident, the ship’s Russian captain allegedly told Spanish investigators that Ursa Major was hauling “components for two nuclear reactors similar to those used in submarines,” with the sailor unsure if the reactors were loaded with atomic fuel, CNN reported.

Child Predator Cults Tied To 450 People In Growing FBI Crackdown

FBI investigations of a heinous online child predator network have expanded to target more than 450 people, the bureau said on Tuesday.

Officials continue to crack down on groups going by names such as “764” that lure children into violent online communities and induce them toward self-harm or sexual acts, FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Joe Rothrock said in a statement warning parents and schoolteachers. Authorities have traced similar groups’ beginnings to at least 2019, announcing more than 350 subjects of investigations by late last year.

“Their members often connect with minors on popular online gaming and social media platforms, build their trust by posing as friends, and then coerce them into harming themselves or others,” Rothrock said of the predators.

The growing federal crackdown on 764-style networks spans multiple presidencies and now involves all 56 FBI field offices, according to authorities. The Trump administration has increasingly described them with the new label “Nihilistic Violent Extremists,” criminals who seek to cause harm “primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos, destruction, and social instability.”

Groups fitting that description also promote violence beyond sexual exploitation, including school shootings and political assassinations, and embrace Satanic or Nazi symbolism, Daily Caller News Foundation reporting shows.

Trump Admin Creates Taxpayer-Funded $1.7 Billion to Compensate Allies Prosecuted Under Biden

. . .In a filing with a federal district court in Florida, Trump, his two eldest sons Eric and Donald Jr. and the Trump Organization said they were withdrawing the action.

A former IRS contractor was convicted in 2023 of leaking the tax returns of Trump and other wealthy Americans to the media and received a five-year prison sentence.

Trump’s decision to withdraw the suit appeared to be linked to a move to create a $1.7 billion compensation fund for the Republican president’s political allies who were investigated under Democratic predecessor Joe Biden.

According to ABC News and other media outlets, Trump’s Department of Justice plans to create a so-called “Truth and Justice Commission” for individuals who believe they were unfairly pursued by the Biden administration.

This could include, for example, the hundreds of Trump supporters who were prosecuted for their involvement in the January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol, which sought to prevent congressional certification of Biden’s election victory.

Report: Pakistan Deploys Jets and Troops to Saudi Arabia for Iran War

Pakistan sent a squadron of jet fighters, an air-defense system, and about 8,000 troops to Saudi Arabia to honor a mutual defense pact between the two countries during the Iran war, according to a Reuters report on Monday.

“The deployment, the full scale of which is reported here for the first time, was confirmed by three security officials and two government sources, all of whom described it as a substantial, combat-capable force intended to support Saudi Arabia’s military if the kingdom comes under further attack,” Reuters wrote.

This seems like a delicate point, since Iran has attacked Saudi Arabia without any sign of an overwhelming response by Pakistani forces. The Saudis intercepted three more inbound Iranian drones on Monday, the day after Iran is believed to have used drones to bomb the Barakah nuclear plant in the United Arab Emirates.

As with past Iranian attacks, the Saudi Defense Ministry vowed to “take the necessary operation measures to respond to any attempt to violate its sovereignty and security,” but did not take any dramatic action against Iran. There was no clear indication that Pakistani forces played any role in taking down the latest three Iranian drones.

Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed a defense pact in September 2025, shortly after Israel conducted a surprise airstrike on Hamas terrorist leaders living in Doha, Qatar. Although the defense pact did not specifically mention Israel, many observers suspected the agreement was intended to make the Israelis think twice about conducting similar strikes on Saudi or Pakistani territory – or perhaps to make the United States think twice about supporting Israeli strikes.

Cartel Gunman Kills 10 Family Members in Mexico, Including Toddler

Authorities in central Mexico are investigating the brutal murder of ten victims, including a 20-month-old child, at the hands of cartel gunmen. Authorities in Mexico claim the mass killing was in response to a family having forced one of the gunmen into a drug rehab center, from which he escaped.

The mass killing took place on Sunday, early morning, at a ranch near the city of Tehuitzingo, Puebla. According to initial reports from Mexico’s Excelsior, the attack took place when a group of gunmen pulled up to the ranch and began to tie up and kill several members of one family and three workers. The gunmen left before authorities arrived. One of the victims was identified as a young infant. The dead also included several minors.

In the aftermath, the Puebla Attorney General’s Office issued a series of statements revealing that the killing was targeted in nature and not directly tied to violence between criminal organizations. According to information published in Proceso, the killing is attributed to a man named Jose Alfredo “N” who had been sent to a drug rehabilitation center by his family. He later escaped from the facility. (Read more from “Cartel Gunman Kills 10 Family Members in Mexico, Including Toddler” HERE)

Another Democrat Takes a Page from the Murkowski Playbook: LA Woman Illegally Paid Homeless People to Register to Vote

A Marina Del Rey woman has agreed to plead guilty to bombshell charges that she paid homeless people on Skid Row to register to vote in a 20-year scheme tied to illegal petition signature collection.

She even let homeless people use her own address to register to vote — meaning mail-in ballots could be sent to her home, a plea agreement obtained by The California Post states.

Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, 64, also known as “Anika,” took a plea deal for one felony count of paying another person to register to vote in a federal election, prosecutors announced Monday.

Prosecutors allege Armstrong targeted Skid Row because of its desperate large homeless population in a relatively small area who would easily accept the $2 or $3 offer she made them to sign the petition.

She worked as a petition collector for various vendors and individuals known as “coordinators,” who have not been named by prosecutors. The vendors would then pay Armstrong a set amount for each registered voters’ signature.

Nick Kristof’s Israel Abuse Claims Spark Civil War at New York Times: ‘I’m sick of being embarrassed’

A civil war has erupted inside the New York Times over Nicholas Kristof’s explosive column alleging widespread sexual abuse of Palestinians by Israeli prison guards.

Staffers at the newspaper are questioning whether some of the most incendiary claims, including an allegation that Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinian detainees, would have ever cleared the paper’s newsroom standards, according to Puck News.

The internal backlash has grown so intense that one Times journalist vented to Puck: “I am sick of being embarrassed by the Opinion section.”

The controversy centers on Kristof’s May 11 opinion essay, “The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians,” which included graphic allegations from Palestinian detainees who claimed they were sexually assaulted, raped with objects and abused by Israeli prison guards, interrogators and settlers.

The column immediately ignited outrage from pro-Israel critics, sparked denunciations from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and triggered threats of a libel suit against the Times.

Trump: “Iran better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE”

Regional intelligence officials believe Iran is preparing for the possibility that President Donald Trump could resume military strikes against the Islamic Republic as early as this week amid growing frustration with Tehran’s conduct and its refusal to abandon nuclear ambitions, Fox News reports.

According to the report, the prevailing assessment inside Iran is that Trump may decide to restart military action, leading Tehran to pursue what officials described as a strategy of “deception and delay” aimed at buying time and complicating any renewed military campaign.

The officials told Fox News that Iranian leaders believe they can stretch the crisis out for at least two more weeks, potentially making it more difficult for the US to restart military operations both politically and operationally.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Trump spoke on Sunday about developments with Iran. “For Iran, the Clock is ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after the call.

Trump’s post featured a map of the Middle East and Central Asia, with the entire region overlaid with the pattern of the United States flag. The country of Iran is highlighted at the center of the map with a dozen red arrows pointing directly at the Islamic Republic. Later Trump said Iran “should be afraid” of him in an interview with Israel’s Channel 13. 

In response Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for Iran parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said the United States must either accept Tehran’s conditions or “surrender to our missiles.”

Trump is expected to hold a Situation Room meeting with his top national security team on Tuesday to discuss options for military action.
