“Sources” Claim Pentagon in Possession of Possible Havana Syndrome Device
January 13th, 2026Via: CNN:
The Defense Department has spent more than a year testing a device purchased in an undercover operation that some investigators think could be the cause of a series of mysterious ailments impacting US spies, diplomats and troops that are colloquially known as Havana Syndrome, according to four sources briefed on the matter.
A division of the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, purchased the device for millions of dollars in the waning days of the Biden administration, using funding provided by the Defense Department, according to two of the sources. Officials paid “eight figures” for the device, these people said, declining to offer a more specific number.
The device is still being studied and there is ongoing debate — and in some quarters of government, skepticism — over its link to the roughly dozens of anomalous health incidents that remain officially unexplained.
…
The device acquired by HSI produces pulsed radio waves, one of the sources said, which some officials and academics have speculated for years could be the cause of the incidents. Although the device is not entirely Russian in origin, it contains Russian components, this person added.

COVID Vaccination and Post-Infection Cancer Signals
January 12th, 2026Coincidentally, the Oncotarget website was taken down by a cyber attack after posting this paper:
A global review examining reported cases of cancer following Covid vaccination was published earlier this month, just as the medical journal hosting it was hit by a cyberattack that has since taken the site offline.
It’s back up now.
Via: Oncotarget:
A growing number of peer-reviewed publications have reported diverse cancer types appearing in temporal association with COVID-19 vaccination or infection. To characterize the nature and scope of these reports, a systematic literature search from January 2020 to October 2025 was conducted based on specified eligibility criteria. A total of 69 publications met inclusion criteria: 66 article-level reports describing 333 patients across 27 countries, 2 retrospective population-level investigations (Italy: ~300,000 cohort, and Korea: ~8.4 million cohort) quantified cancer incidence and mortality trends among vaccinated populations, and one longitudinal analysis of ~1.3 million US military service members spanning the pre-pandemic through post-pandemic periods. Most of the studies documented hematologic malignancies (non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, cutaneous lymphomas, leukemias), solid tumors (breast, lung, melanoma, sarcoma, pancreatic cancer, and glioblastoma), and virus-associated cancers (Kaposi and Merkel cell carcinoma). Across reports, several recurrent themes emerged: (1) unusually rapid progression, recurrence, or reactivation of preexisting indolent or controlled disease, (2) atypical or localized histopathologic findings, including involvement of vaccine injection sites or regional lymph nodes, and (3) proposed immunologic links between acute infection or vaccination and tumor dormancy, immune escape, or microenvironmental shifts. The predominance of case-level observations and early population-level data demonstrates an early phase of potential safety-signal detection. These findings underscore the need for rigorous epidemiologic, longitudinal, clinical, histopathological, forensic, and mechanistic studies to assess whether and under what conditions COVID-19 vaccination or infection may be linked with cancer.
Iran: Anti-Regime Violence Escalates, Total Internet Blackout
January 10th, 2026Via: Telegraph:
At least 50 demonstrators have been killed by Iranian security forces in nationwide protests that are threatening to topple the regime.
There are fears that the death toll will rise sharply as hospitals are being overwhelmed and families remain too terrified to report casualties. Blood supplies are also running low, with residents warning that people are dying because of the lack of blood available.
Donald Trump, the US president, has repeated his threats to attack Iran if it continues to use violence against protesters. He warned Iran’s leaders on Friday night: “Better not start shooting because we’ll start shooting too.”
Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, has placed the country’s security services on their highest state of alert and ordered his Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to take control of the crackdown amid fears of defections by the police and army.
At least 50 people have been killed, the vast majority by gunshot wounds, while 15 members of the security forces are dead, according to human rights groups. Unverified media reports put the death toll at more than 200, but The Telegraph cannot independently confirm the figure owing to a total internet blackout.

Trump Proposes Massive Increase in 2027 Defense Spending to $1.5 Trillion
January 9th, 2026Via: CBS:
President Trump on Wednesday proposed setting U.S. military spending at $1.5 trillion in 2027, citing “troubled and dangerous times.”
The 2026 military budget is set at $901 billion. Mr. Trump’s proposal would represent a 66% jump in funding.
Mr. Trump called for the massive surge in spending days after he ordered a U.S. military operation to capture former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and spirit him out of the country to face drug trafficking charges in the United States, following a months-long military buildup in the region and a series of strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats. U.S. forces continue to mass in the Caribbean Sea.
In recent days, the president has floated military action or pressure in other countries, part of an interventionist strategy in the Western hemisphere that he calls the “Don-roe Doctrine.” He has called for taking over the Danish territory of Greenland for national security reasons and has suggested he’s open to carrying out military operations in Colombia. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ominously warned that longtime adversary Cuba “is in trouble.”
“This will allow us to build the ‘Dream Military’ that we have long been entitled to and, more importantly, that will keep us SAFE and SECURE, regardless of foe,” Mr. Trump said in a posting on Truth Social announcing his proposal.
U.S. Air Force E-4B Nightwatch Lands at LAX
January 8th, 2026Airline Videos (a large planespotting channel) thinks this is the first time an E-4B Nightwatch has landed at LAX.
It’s probably not a coincidence that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is in Los Angeles:
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is set to visit Los Angeles on Thursday as part of the “Arsenal of Freedom” tour, which aims to revitalize America’s manufacturing might and re-energize the nation’s workforce.
During his visit, Hegseth will meet with defense industry leaders, conduct a troop touch, and administer the oath of enlistment to new recruits.

AI Coding Assistants Are Getting Worse
January 8th, 2026Great, the hallucinations compile and run without errors.
Via: IEEE Spectrum:
In recent months, I’ve noticed a troubling trend with AI coding assistants. After two years of steady improvements, over the course of 2025, most of the core models reached a quality plateau, and more recently, seem to be in decline. A task that might have taken five hours assisted by AI, and perhaps ten hours without it, is now more commonly taking seven or eight hours, or even longer. It’s reached the point where I am sometimes going back and using older versions of large language models (LLMs).
…
Until recently, the most common problem with AI coding assistants was poor syntax, followed closely by flawed logic. AI-created code would often fail with a syntax error or snarl itself up in faulty structure. This could be frustrating: the solution usually involved manually reviewing the code in detail and finding the mistake. But it was ultimately tractable.
However, recently released LLMs, such as GPT-5, have a much more insidious method of failure. They often generate code that fails to perform as intended, but which on the surface seems to run successfully, avoiding syntax errors or obvious crashes. It does this by removing safety checks, or by creating fake output that matches the desired format, or through a variety of other techniques to avoid crashing during execution.
As any developer will tell you, this kind of silent failure is far, far worse than a crash. Flawed outputs will often lurk undetected in code until they surface much later. This creates confusion and is far more difficult to catch and fix.
