The U.S. Marine Corps is looking for companies that can provide 10,000 first-person view drones by Jan. 1, 2027, according to a Request for Information (RFI) posted Thursday on a government procurement website. While just a minute fraction of the number of FPV drones being used by both sides of the war in Ukraine monthly, the RFI is the latest move by the Marines to put these swift and maneuverable weapons into the hands of its troops. It was issued as the Pentagon seeks to dramatically increase drone supplies across the services.
The USMC, as we have previously noted, wants strike weapons at the squad level with far greater reach than rifles and mortars. The Corps has created “attack drone teams” to integrate the lessons in Ukraine about the effectiveness of these weapons against personnel and equipment into their formations.

Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente Identified as Brown University and MIT Shooting Suspect, Found Dead
December 19th, 2025Via: Fox News:
Authorities have identified the suspect in Saturday’s mass shooting at Brown University, which left two students dead and nine injured during a finals week review session, as the same man believed to have carried out the murder of a renowned nuclear scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology days later.
His name is Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente, according to Providence police.
He was found dead Thursday evening, authorities announced at a press briefing Thursday evening, after law enforcement officers in tactical gear were seen outside a storage unit linked to him in Salem, New Hampshire, for hours.
Neves-Valente, 48, was a Portuguese national and studied at Brown from the fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001 to study physics, according to Brown President Christina Paxson. But he went on a leave of absence and ultimately withdrew in 2003.
…
“This evening at approximately 9 p.m., federal agents breached a storage locker in Salem, New Hampshire, in search of Claudio Neves-Valente, a Portuguese national we believed shot and killed two Brown University students and an MIT professor in Brookline, Massachusetts,” she told reporters in a separate news briefing. “Federal agents found Neves-Valente dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
DOJ Won’t Release Full Epstein Files to Congress by Friday Deadline

Shocker.
Via: The Hill:
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not be releasing the full Epstein files to Congress on Friday as required under new legislation, instead sending over a partial batch.
Blanche told Fox News the Justice Department would release “several hundred thousand” documents on Friday, “and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more.”
Blanche attributed the delay to the need to redact any names or identifying information about witnesses, but failing to turn over the full unclassified files could run afoul of the law, which gave the department 30 days to share the files with Congress.
“So today is the 30 days when I expect that we’re going to release several hundred thousand documents today. And those documents will come in in all different forms, photographs and other materials associated with, with all of the investigations into, into Mr. Epstein,” Blanche said.
“What we’re doing is we are looking at every single piece of paper that we are going to produce, making sure that every victim, their name, their identity, their story, to the extent it needs to be protected, is completely protected. And so I expect that we’re going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks.”
DOJ was compelled to turn over the files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a bill that got near-unanimous support in Congress, signed into law after President Trump reversed his earlier stance opposing their release.
While the bill does allow for redactions related to victims and for DOJ to withhold some information about the investigation, it does not provide a rolling deadline to turn over the documents.
Under the law, the DOJ has 15 days to turn over its rationale for any documents withheld.
Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) Up More Than 35% After Merger Announcement with Fusion Power Firm TAE Technologies
December 18th, 2025Via: Yahoo! Finance:
Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) stock surged more than 35% on Thursday after the parent company of Truth Social announced a merger with fusion power firm TAE Technologies.
The deal underscores a bet on the energy demands from AI and data centers, and the technologies that could prevail. TAE’s backers include tech giant Google (GOOG) (GOOGL), Goldman Sachs (GS) and oil major Chevron (CVX).
The agreement, valued at more than $6 billion, is a bet on the future of fusion, a type of nuclear technology that mimics the way the sun produces light and heat. Fusion is carbon-free and produces significantly less radioactive waste than traditional nuclear power.
The technology is not yet commercially available, but the deal includes an immediate $200 million in cash at signing. This funding is intended to facilitate the start of construction of the company’s first utility-scale fusion power plant in 2026.

Use Windows 11 with a Local Account
December 17th, 2025I set up my recently built Windows 11 Pro system (installed from ISO) with a local account in the manner described in the video below. I have no hassles from Co-Pilot. No Windows Recall. Etc. And with lots of other hacks and kludges, it’s… Fine. It’s usable.
I wouldn’t call it safe, though, if safe means that I can be absolutely certain that Microsoft doesn’t have access to my data. All operating systems produced by Microsoft, Apple and Google contain closed source blobs, so there’s no way to really know what they’re doing.
Braxman definitely knows this, so I think a more appropriate title for the video would be something like, “A Safer Way to Use Windows 11.”

A 47-year-old MIT professor has died after being shot in his Brookline home Monday night, according to law enforcement officials.
Officers from the Massachusetts State Police and Brookline Police Department responded to reports of a man shot on Gibb Street.
Nuno F.G. Loureiro was transported to a local hospital and succumbed to his injuries Tuesday morning.
Police are actively investigating the death as a homicide, according to the Norfolk DA’s office, writing in a statement, “No further information is being released at this time.”
The DA said Tuesday that no one was in custody for the shooting and that the investigation is continuing.
According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s website, Loureiro was director of the school’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center as well as a professor of nuclear science and engineering and physics.
U.S. Sergeant First Class Jeremy “CJ” Weeks
December 16th, 2025After paying attention to the UFO topic for decades, you wind up going through the same cases over and over again.
I’m posting this mainly because I’ve never heard this one before.
Of course, during one the most interesting parts, when Weeks encounters what he knows is a member of the U.S. Military or Government, he doesn’t want to talk about any details.
Those who have read, Incident at Devils Den by Terry Lovelace will notice some parallels; abductee is military member, very large craft, implants, U.S. Government personnel involved, and more.
This podcast is insanely long. A 45 to 60 minute cutdown edit of this would be plenty.

Interestingly, a police vehicle drives past the shooters at the beginning of this video. What were the police doing at the scene for the next ten minutes as the attack unfolded?
Bondi Beach, Australia (Dec. 14) — Here is a long video of the terror attack shooting on a beach Hanukah event that resulted in 12 deaths. One of the two gunman has been identified as a man named Naveed Akram. pic.twitter.com/DlrhD8ONMt

A civilian managed to tackle and disarm one of the shooters. Keep in mind, the police were at the scene when this brave man intervened:
One of the Bondi beach gunmen was tackled and disarmed by a bystander who then threw rocks at him as he ran.
I’ve said before that you have to start thinking about how you’d conduct yourself in such an event because they are coming to your city too.

Twelve people, including children, are dead after two gunmen armed with rifles opened fire at Bondi Beach on Sunday afternoon, in an act of terrorism targeting a Jewish holiday celebration.
Witnesses said two men stepped out of a vehicle on Campbell Parade, near Bondi Pavilion, and opened fire about 6.40pm on Sunday with footage showing blast after blast on the tourist strip. Some witnesses report more than 30 shots.
Video and photos taken by a Daily Mail photographer show a gunman, later identified as Naveed Akram, 24, from Bonnyrigg in Sydney’s southwest, opening fire from an elevated bridge.
A festival for Hanukkah, named Chanukah by the Sea, advertised as a night of family fun, was taking place, with children attending the event when the gunmen, one of whom was on the terror list and known to authorities, opened fire.
NSW Premier Chris Minns confirmed 12 people were killed in a press conference late on Sunday.

After several months of meticulous investigation into the shooting of Charlie Kirk, we’ve been examining the trajectory, ballistics, and physical plausibility of the official story. Our testing and reconstructions continue to raise serious questions, showing that the claimed shooter’s position and the fatal wound scenario don’t line up with the evidence.
