Westfield Stops Making Loan Payments on Massive San Francisco Mall
June 13th, 2023Via: Daily Mail:
San Francisco’s struggling downtown has been dealt another blow as Westfield has stopped making mortgage payments on its massive mall due to crime and tanking sales.
The firm has defaulted on the $558million loan and is handing it back to the lender, which will appoint a receiver. The mall will remain open for now.
The decision was sparked by the decision from Nordstrom, the mall’s anchor tenant, to close in August.

The Biden administration is set to transfer depleted uranium shells to Ukraine for the first time since the Russian invasion began The Wall Street Journal reports Tuesday.
Internal administration debate over the controversial munitions has been ongoing for several months, but an admin official quoted in WSJ says at this point there are “no major obstacles” to sending it, which will be used to equip M1 Abrams tanks provided by Washington.
Covid-19 Created In Wuhan Lab Through Classified Bioweapons Program
June 12th, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
Researchers in Wuhan, China working with the Chinese military were genetically manipulating the world’s deadliest coronaviruses to create a new mutant virus right around the time that the Covid-19 pandemic began, according to the Sunday Times, which has reviewed hundreds of documents, “Including previously confidential reports, internal memos, scientific papers and email correspondence that has been obtained through sources or by freedom of information campaigners in the three years since the pandemic started.”
…
Meanwhile, a separate analysis reveals that the epicenter of the original Covid-19 outbreak was close to the WIV, not Wuhan’s “wet” wildlife market as previously thought.
“I interviewed scientists in Asia who have close relationships with the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” said one of the investigators, who said they had evidence that the WIV was also working on a Covid-19 vaccine before the pandemic. “They told me it is their belief that there was vaccine research going on in the fall of 2019, pertinent to Covid-19 vaccination.”
Rutgers University microbiologist, Richard Ebright, called the experiments “by far the most reckless and dangerous research on coronaviruses — or indeed on any viruses — known to have been undertaken at any time in any location.”
JPMorgan to Settle with Epstein Victims for $290 Million
June 12th, 2023Via: Reuters:
JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay about $290 million to settle a class action lawsuit by Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, a person familiar with the matter said, resolving a large part of litigation over the bank’s relationship with the disgraced financier.
Monday’s settlement follows months of embarrassing disclosures that JPMorgan ignored internal warnings and overlooked red flags about Epstein because he had been a valuable client over a 15-year period.
Epstein was a JPMorgan client from 1998 to 2013, and was kept on even after being arrested in 2006 on prostitution-related charges and pleading guilty two years later.

David Grusch: U.S. Government UFO Whistleblower Interview
June 12th, 2023Note: News Nation initially posted the interview on YouTube, but then removed it/set it to private. I have no idea why they did that, but the video is available at the link below. There are re-uploads of it all over the place in case they decide to further limit availability.
Here is a written summary of the key points in the interview, if you don’t want to watch it.
Via: News Nation:
The most earth-shattering of those secrets, he claims, were revealed after 2019, when he was invited to join the UAP task force.
“I have, based on my full security clearance and multiple polygraphs (lie detector tests), had the ability to be read into any program that I needed,” he said. “At one point in time, I was extremely highly cleared.”
During that time, Grusch claims the UAP Task Force was refused access to a broad crash retrieval program.
“These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it space-craft if you will. Non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed,” he said.
Grusch told NewsNation that the U.S. is in possession of “quite a number” of these “non-human” vehicles.
He says he didn’t believe it at first.
“I thought it was totally nuts and I thought at first I was being deceived. People started to confide in me … approaching me. I had plenty of senior, former intelligence officers that came to me, many of which I knew almost my whole career, that confided in me that they were part of a program,” he said. “They named the program … I’d never heard of it. They told me, based on their oral testimony, and they provided me documents and other proof, that there was in fact a program that the UAP Task Force was not read into.”
Grusch, however, is hesitant to use the term “alien life.”
“I couch it as somebody who has studied physics, where you know, maybe they’re coming from a different physical dimension as described in quantum mechanics. We know there are extra dimensions due to high-energy particle collisions, etc., and there’s a theoretical framework to explain that,” he said.
In other words, Grusch believes humans are not alone. He says there is “potentially extra-terrestrial life” out there.
He’s never personally seen non-human intelligence but says he’s spoken to enough people directly involved in what he calls “the program,” that he’s convinced it’s real.
“I started out as a non-believer. I came to the problem as a hardcore physics guy … intel officer,” he said. So I have, you know, excuse my language high bull—- factor.” I was very methodical … interviewing people who didn’t know each other and making sure this wasn’t some kind of cover-up of some other program.”
Grusch says he pressed to gain direct access to the program, and that’s when the trouble started. He claims his investigation was stymied, and his requests for access were rebuffed.
“They shut the door in my face. They denied me access to these programs,” he said.
Soon after, he says he endured reprisals and retaliations from above. He reported that information to the intelligence community inspector general and eventually filed a whistleblower complaint.
The experience, he says, is why he has decided to go public in a recent article in “The Debrief” written by Leslie Kean.
Trump Insecurely Stored SCI and SAP Documents at Mar-a-Lago
June 11th, 2023I was reading through the Trump indictment and found that he had held on to documents marked sensitive compartmented information (SCI), and special access program (SAP). See page 20:
When the 15 boxes that TRUMP had provided reached NARA in January 2022, NARA reviewed the contents and determined that 14 of the boxes contained documents with classification markings. Specifically, as the FBI later determined, the boxes contained 197 documents with classification markings, of which 98 were marked “SECRET,” 30 were marked “TOP SECRET,” and the remainder were marked “CONFIDENTIAL.” Some of those documents also contained SCI and SAP markings.
Could someone with knowledge TS/SCI and SAP document access explain to me how Trump was able to hold on to those materials? My understanding is that those materials are only to be handled in a SCIF:
The federal government requires the SCI be processed, stored, used or discussed in a Sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF).
If that’s correct, how did Trump physically obtain the documents?
Wouldn’t the SCI and SAP materials need to be physically accounted for after use in a SCIF?
The 11 UK Universities Accused of Helping to Develop Iran’s ‘Suicide Drones’
June 10th, 2023Via: Telegraph:
The University of Cambridge is among almost a dozen UK universities accused of helping to develop Iran’s weapons including “suicide drones”.
Britain bans the export of military technology to Iran as well as “dual use” technology which can be used for both civilian and military applications.
The Government has also recently imposed fresh sanctions on Iranians supplying Russia with kamikaze drones being used in Ukraine.
However, an investigation has revealed that researchers in the UK have helped the Iranian regime to develop sophisticated technology that can be used in its drone programme and fighter jets.
40TB Hard Disc Drives Soon

Offering a brief update on the future of hard drives, Seagate has shared some fresh insights concerning launch of its next generation hard drives featuring its heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology. The company’s initial commercial HAMR hard drive is set to offer a 32 TB capacity, presumably in the third quarter of 2023, but the new recording technology will enable a relatively quick capacity increase to 40 TB. Meanwhile, high-capacity HAMR HDDs will co-exist with yet-to-be-released 24 TB and 28 TB drives.
The initial 32 TB HAMR-based HDDs from Seagate will rely on the company’s 10-platter platform that is akin to that already in use by the company and which has predictable yields and which eliminates one potential point of failure. Given that the company will have to use new media and new write heads with its HAMR hard drives, it is a reasonable move to keep re-using as many proven parts as possible. That 10-platter HAMR platform will be used for 36TB, 40TB, and even higher-capacity HDDs going forward, presumably with as few changes as possible.
