🇨🇴 Vulture Rings Church Bell in Convención Amid Colombia Earthquake, 2 Rescues and Other Footage :. In the municipality of Convención, Norte de Santander, Colombia, a resident filmed a black vulture (gallinazo) perched on a church rooftop (clip 1) interacting with the bell rope, appearing to ring one of the bells. The unusual footage, captured around the time of the earthquake that struck western Colombia circulated widely and prompted local commentary "linking the scavenger bird’s behavior to traditional omens/literary references." Cable-car passengers were trapped mid-air: ~five people in Cali’s Mío Cable system rode out violent swaying before being safely evacuated [clip 2], while 16 others in Pereira’s Megacable remained suspended for ~six hours before specialized teams rappelled them to safety (services in both cities and Manizales were suspended for inspections). Construction workers (such as those on a high-rise site in Bogotá — clip 3) were filmed clinging to rebar and praying as structures shook, and many more people remained trapped under collapsed buildings. The most recent ~figures for the Colombia earthquake report ~181–240 deaths, 1,300–2,600 injuries, dozens rescued from rubble, and 2,500–3,000+ people missing or out of contact. Clip 4 is a crane rescue, 5 is a dog being recovered, and 6 is aftermath support.

🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 🇴🇲 🇷🇺 🌐 Oil Spills Reportedly Threaten Omani Nature Reserve and Iranian Island Coasts :. Sanctioned tanker Caroline Bezengi (carrying ~one million barrels of Russian crude) continues leaking off Oman’s Hallaniyat Islands nature reserve after a June onboard explosion, producing a slick of ~390–400 square kilometers that has approached within 7 km of the mainland with limited stabilization efforts so far.. Thick oil has also supposedly washed ashore on Iran’s Qeshm and Hengam island beaches, seen in ground footage and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, as part of a wider pattern of repeated attacks and damage to multiple tankers in the Strait of Hormuz that have driven ongoing oil pollution across the Persian Gulf region throughout 2026.

🇬🇧 🇨🇳 Royal Navy Drones Transmitted Data to China via Camera Components :. Surveillance cameras fitted to K3 Scout uncrewed surface vessels used by the Royal Navy’s special forces, including the Special Boat Service, contained Chinese-made components that were sending “heartbeat” status signals to an IP address in China, confirming the devices were online and functioning. The Ministry of Defence identified the issue during a routine cyber vulnerability assessment of the roughly £12 million fleet (supplied by Kraken Technology Group and in service since March), promptly disconnected the cameras’ internet connectivity as a precaution after the discovery became public (this month), and claimed after investigation that "no sensitive MoD data or systems had been accessed, compromised, or transmitted externally" (though the discovery has "heightened concerns over supply-chain security in British military equipment").

🇺🇸 🌐 USDA Posts "African Swine Fever Warning" :. The USDA posted a warning via APHIS about African swine fever (ASF), a highly contagious virus not yet detected in the United States that "can wipe out entire pig herds with mortality rates approaching 100%. It spreads via contact, feed, equipment, or products and "could cost the U.S. economy an estimated $75 billion over 10 years, so prevention through biosecurity remains the only cure" (their words, not mine). There have been no recent or historical U.S. cases (no internal or domestic outbreaks in the continental U.S. or territories). APHIS maintains surveillance and protection zones in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands due to nearby detections in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. In related action, the USDA (via APHIS and NRCS) is providing $35 million (part of a broader $105 million Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program) for "control projects" in states including Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Feral swine supposedly "cause over $3.4 billion in annual damage and risk transmitting ASF to commercial herds." Internationally, Finland "confirmed its first ASF cases in late July in wild boar near Virolahti (close to the Russian border), prompting infection zones and border controls. India continues to face outbreaks (including recent cases on the west coast) and has developed its first indigenous live attenuated ASF vaccine (by ICAR-NIHSAD in Bhopal, using an MA-104 cell line for Genotype II), recommended for healthy pigs over eight weeks of age with a booster after 14 days."

🇪🇸 🇲🇦 🌐 Spain/Morocco :. A Spanish woman in Ceuta claims her dog is the only one who keeps her safe because there are no military/police on the street and they (native citizens) are terrified — after the recent invasion.

🇺🇸 🇹🇷 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 🌟 🌐 Trump’s Secret Departure from Türkiye Due to Supposed "Iranian Threat" :. In July, following a NATO summit in Ankara, Türkiye, Trump was "secretly transferred from the legacy Air Force One to a smaller military C-32A jet via an airport catering truck after boarding the larger planes, as part of an elaborate security ruse" prompted by a "credible Iranian assassination threat against him or his aircraft." Journalists and some White House staff aboard the decoy Air Force One were supposedly "unaware of the switch" and flew separately to Britain, where Trump later rejoined the official aircraft for the return to Washington; the operation, first detailed by The Washington Post on August 10, and corroborated by other major outlets, was kept hidden for about a month.

🇺🇸 Trump Responds to Call for Election National Security Emergency :. In an August 11, phone interview on Real America’s Voice with host Wayne Allyn Root, the host urged Trump to "declare a national security emergency over elections within the next month" (bypassing the Senate on the stalled SAVE America Act) to mandate photo ID, proof of citizenship, and limits on mail-in ballots, claiming "such a declaration could only be overturned by a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress." Trump replied, “Let me just say stranger things have happened. I’ll leave it at that,” neither confirming nor ruling out the idea.

🇺🇸 🇭🇹 🇧🇶 🌐 Haitian Gang Ambush in Kenscoff :. Recently, members of the Viv Ansanm coalition led by Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier ambushed Haitian police in Kenscoff outside Port-au-Prince, burning armored vehicles. Footage shows gang members firing with at least one using a U.S.-made M14 rifle; such weapons mainly reach Haitian gangs supposedly "via smuggling from Florida or diversion from local security forces." "Viv Ansanm, formed in 2023 under Chérizier from major Port-au-Prince gangs including G9 remnants, has long controlled much of the capital through violence and expansion. Kenscoff has been a repeated target since late 2024 as gangs push into the hills to seize strategic high ground and infrastructure against Haitian police, army, and multinational forces." This matters to the West because Haiti’s escalating gang control drives mass migration toward the United States and neighboring countries, strains regional security, and shows ongoing U.S. arms trafficking that fuels the violence (creating potential for broader Caribbean instability and greater pressure on Western governments for intervention or aid).

🇺🇸 🎥 Abdul El-Sayed’s Campaign Dance (Propaganda) Videos and Family Ad :. Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed shared several recent dance videos on TikTok and social media as part of his campaign outreach. In July, his campaign released the ad “Jan and Judy,” featuring his grandparents while promoting figures like Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and also the United Auto Workers (union).

🇺🇸 Trump Signs Order Revising Childhood Vaccine Recommendations :. On August 10, Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office establishing “Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations,” under which vaccinations for hepatitis B, COVID-19, influenza, and several others are "no longer recommended for all children." The order "limits universal recommendations to 11 core vaccines (including measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Hib, pneumococcal disease, HPV, and varicella), while placing others into high-risk or shared clinical decision-making categories, aligning U.S. guidance more closely with schedules in peer developed nations; parents may still choose additional vaccines, which remain covered by insurance."

🇺🇸 Trump Comments on Biden Amid Cancer Diagnosis Clip Resurfaces (2025) :. In late May 2025, shortly after former President Joe Biden publicly announced his stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, Trump stated that people should not “feel so sorry” for Biden because he is “vicious,” adding that he “really don’t feel sorry for him” while referencing past political actions and "people Biden had hurt."

🇬🇧 Facial Recognition Deployed at Manchester Caribbean Carnival 2026 :. Greater Manchester Police used Live Facial Recognition technology at the Manchester Caribbean Carnival held at Alexandra Park on 8–9 August, scanning crowds with cameras mounted on marked vans that "compared faces in real time against police watchlists." The system supposedly generated 34 alerts, resulting in 11 arrests for offences including "breach of a sexual harm prevention order, fraud, failure to appear in court and theft," while also "flagging 11 registered sex offenders, five individuals known for carrying knives, and helping locate a missing child"; officers "reported no major incidents at the event attended by tens of thousands."

🇺🇸 Hassett Attributes Lingering Economic Frustration to Biden-Era Price Surges :. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett responded to a Fox News poll finding that 76% of voters rate the U.S. economy as “fair” or “poor” by blaming prices rising substantially on the prior Biden administration, which he said "explains why many Americans remain frustrated despite current policies."

🇺🇸 🇮🇱 2015 "America First, Not israel" Billboard Controversy in Detroit (2015) :. In October 2015, the group Deir Yassin Remembered placed a billboard on 8 Mile Road in Detroit reading “America First Not israel,” which drew sharp criticism from the Anti-Defamation League and others who called it "antisemitic for invoking dual-loyalty 'tropes"'; the organization had erected similar ads in ~a dozen major U.S. cities since 2012 as part of a broader campaign. The Detroit sign, initially contracted through mid-November, ultimately did not remain up for long after backlash and was removed, consistent with the fate of later versions of the same message that advertising companies also took down following jewish pressure.

🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏳️‍🌈 UK Adoption Case: Preston Davey Murdered by Adoptive Fathers :. In July 2023, 13-month-old Preston Davey died in Blackpool, England, after four months in the care of his adoptive parents, Jamie Varley and John McGowan-Fazakerley. A post-mortem found ~40 injuries consistent with repeated physical and sexual abuse; the cause of death was acute upper airway obstruction. In June (2026), Varley was convicted of murder and multiple sexual offences against the child and received a whole-life sentence, while McGowan-Fazakerley was convicted of allowing the death, child cruelty and sexual assault and sentenced to 25 years. The case received minimal coverage. Unrelated, but relevant: a different same-sex couple, Adam Frisby and Jamie Corbett, who are campaigning for changes to UK surrogacy laws, said in June that they had received more than a thousand abusive and homophobic messages in the 24 hours after the sentencing of Preston Davey’s adoptive fathers, describing the level of online abuse directed at them for being gay dads as “pretty disturbing.”
