Senior NIH Scientist, Research Fellow Charged with Bringing Deactivated Monkey Pox Virus Into U.S.

Via: AP:

Two scientists at a U.S. government lab were charged with smuggling vials of deactivated mpox virus into the country from Africa and lying about it during interviews with investigators at a Michigan airport, authorities said Tuesday.

A criminal complaint was unsealed in federal court in Detroit against Vincent Munster, who is chief of the virus ecology section at Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, and Claude Kwe, who works with him as a research fellow.

Munster and Kwe were stopped at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in January after a flight from Paris and nine days in the Republic of Congo.

Munster “adamantly denied” returning to the U.S. with biological materials or samples, the FBI said in a court filing. But tests subsequently revealed that Munster and Kwe were traveling with vials of deactivated mpox, the FBI said, yet they had failed to declare them or obtain the necessary permission.

“Any deliberate effort to conceal and smuggle biological materials into the United States without proper authorization is a breach of the public’s trust and could have placed the public at risk,” said Marcus Sykes of the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Health and Human Services.


Groups of Men Seen Climbing In and Out of Manholes in Brooklyn for Unknown Reason

June 3rd, 2026

Via: USA Today:

Groups of people have been caught mysteriously sneaking in and out of manholes around Brooklyn, stoking fear in locals as an investigation remains ongoing.

Police say that there is no threat to the public, and that the sewer systems have been investigated after the unknown individuals spent hours in the underground tunnels.

In two separate incidents, surveillance footage has caught groups of people leaving, or entering, manholes in the middle of the night.

The two incidents were reported last week, both in Brooklyn, after police were called for individuals seen going into the manholes. The first group was reported Thursday night, while the other was called in Friday at around 1 a.m.

The Thursday night group was seen leaving about three hours afterward, according to the NYPD, while the second odd circumstance ended after individuals were seen crawling out and leaving in a vehicle more than two and a half hours after.

A law enforcement official said that the NYPD’s main theory is that the trespassers were looking for valuables, according to NBC New York.

But locals expressed concern as the individuals are still unknown, with fears stoked online.

No arrests have been made in both of the incidents, and their investigations remain ongoing, police told USA TODAY.

And Now… Trump Kushner Island

June 2nd, 2026

Via: Realtor.com:

Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, are set to invest a staggering $1.4 billion into turning an abandoned Soviet weapons base into a luxury island resort—as the former first daughter prepares to follow in her father’s footsteps as a real estate developer.

Ivanka, 43, and Kushner, 44, who recently finished work on their family mansion in Miami, have spent the past year working on plans to transform the Albanian island of Sazan—one of the last undeveloped islands in the Mediterranean—into a must-visit destination for the wealthy and privileged.

The couple, who both served as senior advisors in President Donald Trump’s first administration but opted not to rejoin his cabinet after his 2024 election win, took a massive step toward their dream of creating the “extraordinary” retreat in January, when their plans received preliminary approval from the Albanian government, according to the New York Times.


Congress Quietly Moves to Integrate U.S. and Israeli Militaries

June 2nd, 2026

Via: Responsible Statecraft:

At a time when the American public is expressing unprecedented levels of distrust in the Israeli government, Congress just proposed tying the U.S. to the Israeli military more than ever before.

Buried in the House’s version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) released on Tuesday, is section 224, entitled “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.” The provision would arguably do more to intertwine the U.S. military with the Israeli military than the more than $200 billion (inflation adjusted) in military assistance Israel has received from the U.S. since its founding in 1948.

Section 224 lays the groundwork for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and seemingly every manner of U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation. The U.S. and Israel already work together heavily on missile defense, but this provision would greatly expand coordination to seemingly every area of defense tech, including AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, biotech, and many more. It also proposes “network integration” and “data fusion.” In other words, the U.S. military’s data could soon be the Israeli military’s data.

If fully enacted, this proposal would provide a higher level of military-industrial integration than the U.S. has with any other country in the world.


The Cost Of The Grain That Feeds Half The World Just Posted Biggest Monthly Surge Since 2008

June 2nd, 2026

Via: ZeroHedge:

Asian rice prices logged their biggest monthly gain in nearly two decades in May, as a Gulf energy shock collides with an expected El Niño event later this year. The spike adds to the mounting risks of a broader food price shock that could emerge as soon as six months from now.

Any time rice prices spike, it is a major concern because the grain feeds more than half the world’s population, estimated at 3.5 to 4 billion people.

Thailand white rice, a regional Asian benchmark, surged 20% in May, the largest monthly increase in data going back to 2008, according to Bloomberg. Chicago rice futures rose 15% last month.

“Freedom Ship”

June 1st, 2026

It’s like Rapture, but it floats!

Will there be plasmids?

Via: Telegraph:

Monster cruise ships of today face being reduced to mere minnows by plans for a floating city that will carry 80,000 people around the world.

A mile-long, 800ft-wide and 30-deck-high, the £12bn Freedom Ship would house a research hospital as well as enough schools, shops and restaurants to serve a population as big as Chatham in Kent.

Likely to be powered by nuclear fuel, the 2.3-million-gross-ton giant will have homes for 50,000 permanent residents and space for another 10,000 cruisers and day visitors, all served by 20,000 crew.

Among the extensive facilities will be high-rise hotels, a 15,000-seat sports stadium, a convention centre, a water park, two museums and a symphony hall.


Google Wants to Release Millions of ‘Good’ Mosquitoes in California and Florida

June 1st, 2026

Although these aren’t genetically engineered mosquitoes, what is Google’s actually up to here?

Via: KTLA:

“Good bugs are the same species of mosquito as the bad bugs that spread disease. Our good bugs are male mosquitoes that have a naturally-occurring bacteria called Wolbachia which makes them unable to have offspring with wild female mosquitoes,” the Google Debug webpage reads. “Male mosquitoes can’t bite or spread disease, so good bugs will stop bad ones from reproducing. Over time, there will be fewer and fewer bad mosquitoes.”
