Maui Police Chief John Pelletier Named as a Co-Conspirator in Diddy Lawsuit
March 12th, 2025John Pelletier was the incident commander during the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting. He was also the Maui Police Chief during the Lahaina fire.
And now…
Via: Daily Mail:
An amended lawsuit against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has named Maui’s police chief as a co-conspirator, alleging the officer helped the music mogul cover up a woman’s rape in 2018.
Maui’s Police Chief John Pelletier, 52, is one of several new defendants, including NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Drew Desbordes, a comedian known as Druski, added to the damning lawsuit on Friday.
The documents, filed by a woman and two additional plaintiffs, accuses Pelletier of posing as a Contra Costa, California sheriff in order to deter a woman from filing a rape charge against the disgraced rapper.
At the time, however, Pelletier was working as a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department captain and had no jurisdiction in the Golden State.
USAID Official Tells Staffers: Shred and Burn Your Documents
March 11th, 2025How about this: Tape the building off as a crime scene and don’t allow anything to be destroyed.
If that doesn’t happen, it means that the Trump administration is allowing the destruction of evidence of fraud in the billions of dollars.
Last month, I wrote:
They’re going to quickly stumble on to payments for black world projects and operations and potentially not realize what they’re looking at. It’s hard to imagine that the actual deep state would allow anyone to start pulling on those threads…
And now…

A senior official at USAID instructed a number of the agency’s remaining staff to convene at the agency’s now-former headquarters in Washington on Tuesday for an “all day” group effort to destroy documents stored there, many of which contain sensitive information.
The materials earmarked for destruction include contents of the agency’s “classified safes and personnel documents” at the Ronald Reagan Building, said an email sent by USAID’s acting executive director, Erica Carr, and obtained by POLITICO.
“Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break,” the email said. Carr instructed staff to label the burn bags with the words “SECRET” and “USAID/B/IO/” (agency shorthand for “bureau or independent office”) in dark Sharpie.

“How The Military Wants AI To Help Control America’s Nuclear Arsenal”
March 11th, 2025I love it:
“We do not have, you know, a WOPR in STRATCOM headquarters. Nor would we ever have a WOPR in STRATCOM headquarters.”
Via: The War Zone:
While it has long been a world-ending threat in science fiction, U.S. Air Force and Space Force officials see artificial intelligence (AI) playing important, if not critical roles in the command and control enterprise at the heart of America’s nuclear deterrent capabilities.
AI has the potential to help speed up decision making cycles and ensure that orders get where they need to go as fast and securely as possible. It could also be used to assist personnel charged with other duties from intelligence processing to managing maintenance and logistics. The same officials stress that humans will always need to be in or at least on the loop, and that a machine alone will never be in a position to decide to employ nuclear weapons.
…
“You know, in WarGames, it has this machine called the WOPR [War Operation Plan Response, pronounced ‘whopper’]. So, the WOPR actually was that AI machine that everyone is scared about. And guess what? We do not have, you know, a WOPR in STRATCOM headquarters. Nor would we ever have a WOPR in STRATCOM headquarters,” Cotton added. “That’s not what I’m talking about. What I’m talking about is, how do I, you know, how do I get and become efficient on ISR [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] products, you know? How do I get, you know, efficient on understanding what’s the status of my forces? You know, those are things that AI and machine learning can absolutely help us [with] and really shave a lot of time off on being able to do those type of things.”

Ukrainian drones pummeled Moscow overnight, only hours before high-stakes talks began in Saudi Arabia between officials from Ukraine and the United States. The attack on the Russian capital, using long-range one-way attack drones, was the biggest of the conflict so far, local officials claimed.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Ukraine launched 337 drones at Russia overnight, with 91 of these targeting the Moscow region. The attacks on the capital region killed at least three people, set buildings ablaze, and forced the suspension of flights at all four of Moscow’s airports, as well as rail services.
Two other airports, in the Yaroslavl and Nizhny Novgorod regions east of Moscow, were also closed.

Los Angeles Lost Track of Billions in Homelessness Funding
March 10th, 2025Via: Epoch Times:
Los Angeles City officials have lost track of billions in spending on homelessness services, according to an independent audit released on March 6.
The audit was commissioned by federal District Judge David O. Carter and completed by Alvarez & Marsal Public Sector Services (A&M).
The report noted that A&M found it challenging to completely quantify how Los Angeles officials spent approximately $2.3 billion in funding meant to shelter, feed, and serve homeless people because of the incomplete and inaccurate manner the city’s homelessness program recorded and collected data.
The report painted a grim picture of the homeless program managed by Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), which was established in 1993.
“Repetitive information gaps, coupled with a lack of accurate and complete data and documentation, posed significant obstacles to this assessment,” the report states.

Syria is teetering on the brink of all-out civil war, once again, as fighting rages between the new regime in Damascus and fighters loyal to the deposed President Bashar al-Assad. The last few days have seen heavy fighting in the coastal region, with reports of dozens of the Alawite minority having been executed by Syrian security forces.
The current violence in Syria is the worst since the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) brought down the Assad regime in December and installed an Islamist transitional government.

Poland: Military Training for All Men
March 7th, 2025Via: BBC:
Work is under way to make all men in Poland undergo military training, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.
In a speech to the Polish parliament, Tusk said the government aimed to give full details in the coming months.
Efforts are being made to “prepare large-scale military training for every adult male in Poland,” he told the Sejm.
“We will try to have a model ready by the end of this year so that every adult male in Poland is trained in the event of war, so that this reserve is comparable and adequate to the potential threats.”
