Ex-FBI Agents Accuse Top CIA, FBI Officials of 9/11 Coverup; CIA Said to Use Saudis, Others for Illegal Domestic Spy Operations
April 23rd, 2023I’m posting this with the following caveat: This should not be considered an endorsement of any aspect of the official story of how 9/11 was carried out.
My take on this is that it might indicate some activities related to CIA’s management of patsies ahead of the big day.

It is nevertheless remarkable for its accounts supporting the veracity of long public, yet highly disturbing allegations that top CIA officials, including Director George Tenet, intentionally withheld vital intelligence from the FBI that might have prevented the Sept. 11, 2001 al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington. Specifically, that known operatives and future hijackers Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar had entered the U.S. in Los Angeles shortly after attending an al Qaeda summit meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in early January 2000.
The new accounts, mostly obtained during interviews in 2016 and 2018, flesh out that narrative. They also support the ominous theory, never fully explored by either the 9/11 Commission or Congress, that the CIA kept silent because it was secretly working hand in glove with its Saudi Arabian counterpart to recruit Hazmi and Mihdhar as informants.

The CIA’s lack of cooperation with the FBI is discussed in detail in the declaration. One ex-FBI agent who worked under CIA control at Usama Bin Laden (UBL) Station, also known as ALEC Station, discussed how a colleague had prepared a Central Intelligence Report “outlining the possible presence of Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar in the U.S.,” but was not allowed to forward it to the FBI for action.

Due to a wet winter and record mountain snowpack, California will provide 100% of the water requested by cities and farms, marking the first time in nearly two decades.
The office of California Governor Gavin Newsom released a statement Thursday that said, “State water contractors to 100% of requested supplies for 29 public water agencies that serve 27 million Californians.”
This is the highest water allocation since 2006, as state water officials rush to replenish groundwater and aquifers after years of drought.
Newsom Sending National Guard to San Francisco

Additionally, the Governor instructed the California National Guard to identify specialist personnel and resources to analyze drug trafficking operations, with a focus on dismantling fentanyl trafficking rings.
The California National Guard is going to analyze drug trafficking operations???
Via: Daily Mail:
The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, has ordered state police and the California National Guard to partner with local law enforcement agencies to tackle San Francisco’s drug problem and disrupt fentanyl trafficking.
The move comes after city officials requested state and federal assistance to tackle the issues of open-air drug dealing.
The Governor announced the plan on Friday just days after taking a tour of the Tenderloin district with California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Mayor London Breed’s Chief of Staff in which the trio assessed the situation for themselves and saw how bad the fentanyl crisis in the city has become.
The California Highway Patrol, the California National Guard, the San Francisco Police Department, and the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office will now collaborate to help the city address the drug problem.

For the first time, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted to Congress Wednesday that those who have taken the COVID vaccine are still capable of spreading the virus to others.
Walensky, who has recently had COVID despite being 5x vaccinated, claimed that her own earlier statements about the virus not being carried by vaccinated people and COVID now being a ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated’ no longer apply because of “an evolution of science.”
“That statement is no longer correct with the Omicron variants we have right now,” she told lawmakers.
CATL Announces 500 Wh/Kg “Semi-Solid State” Battery
April 22nd, 2023Batteries with an energy density around 500 Wh/kg could definitely be a game changer, depending on cost and cycle life, but none of those details were released.
Via: PV Magazine:
Chinese battery giant CATL on Wednesday unveiled a new ultra-high energy battery technology initially slated for aviation, and with an automotive cell under development.
The so-called “condensed matter” battery, a type of semi-solid state product with condensed electrolyte and new anode and separator materials, will have an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg.
…
However, no information has been revealed about the cost of the new cells, or the materials required to make them. A few other specifications, such as charging efficiency, charge/discharge rate, safety ranges, and life cycles, were also missing.

DeepMind is regarded to be one of the top machine learning and artificial intelligence research labs. After being an Alphabet company for the past several years, it’s now being folded in to form “Google DeepMind.”
The new unit encompasses DeepMind and the Brain team from Google Research. Collective accomplishments from the past decade include “AlphaGo, Transformers, word2vec, WaveNet, AlphaFold, sequence to sequence models, distillation, deep reinforcement learning, and distributed systems and software frameworks like TensorFlow and JAX for expressing, training and deploying large scale ML models.”
This merger is meant to “accelerate [Google’s] progress in AI and help us develop more capable AI systems more safely and responsibly,” specifically general AI systems and “research that will help power the next generation of our products and services.”
