Two CIA agents apparently died in car accident in Mexico

The death of two suspected CIA agents has sparked a debate about the deployment of U.S. authorities in Mexico. The officers are said to have had an accident after an operation. President Sheinbaum knew nothing about the action

Greetings from Germany. We are waiting for that.

It includes advertising for "Infowars" merch: "Lies never looked so good." Or also: "The ultimate way to hide your gold in just 24 hours: Make out of your gold. Liquidate your assets today."

This is what the satire "Infowars" could look like

»The Onion« has already published a page that shows first impressions of an »Infowars« parody. These include satirical advertisements that allude to Jones' bankruptcy and his business model with the sale of dietary supplements.

The aim of the takeover was to make "Infowars" a satire of itself. A judge has since banned the plans. But now things are gaining momentum again. »The Onion« has a new idea.

3/

For once, this was no joke: The US satirical portal "The Onion" made headlines in November 2024 with the purchase of the portal "Infowars" by right-wing extremist Alex Jones. It is considered a conspiracy platform with proximity to extreme supporters of Trump and his MAGA movement.

»The Onion«: Satireseite will Alex Jones’ »Infowars« übernehmen – wie das gelingen soll Die rechte Plattform »Infowars« fällt mit Verschwörungserzählungen und ihrer Nähe zur MAGA-Bewegung auf. Nun will ein Satireportal die Kontrolle übernehmen. Warum?

Satirical site "The Onion" wants to hijack Alex Jones' "Infowars" – how to do it

The right-wing platform "Infowars" attracts attention with conspiracy narratives and its proximity to the MAGA movement. Now a satirical portal wants to take control. Why?

»Wir lassen uns nicht täuschen«: Kriegsveteranen protestieren gegen Trump und den Irankrieg Anti-Kriegs-Parolen und Transparente: Rund 150 US-Kriegsveteranen und Angehörige von Soldaten haben in Washington D.C. gegen den Irankrieg der US-Regierung demonstriert. Die Szenen im Video.

War veterans against Trump

War veterans against Trump: "We won't be fooled"

Anti-war slogans and banners: Around 150 U.S. war veterans and relatives of soldiers demonstrated in Washington D.C. against the U.S. government's war with Iran.

The scenes in the video.

Secretary of War Pete Hegs... # © • 39m The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

Make this make sense.

This will bring peace. Never ending peace for some of them. For others, it could bring a damage to their heart. Also, times with a non functioning military.
The colleague of my brother has now a severe heart damage, no longer able to work.

After the mass layoffs initiated by Elon Musk last year, they are often no longer able to carry out their tasks professionally - and are also punished with incompetent leadership.

regardless of whether they had the necessary qualifications to lead a department competently. The consequences can be seen, not only in the Chavez-DeRemer case. On the other hand, the departures reveal the sometimes desolate conditions in the ministries:

Trumps Gruselkabinett der Unprofessionellen Mit Arbeitsministerin Lori Chavez-DeRemer verliert US-Präsident Trump das dritte Kabinettsmitglied. Das offenbart mindestens zwei Probleme.

Trump's chamber of horrors of unprofessional
At least 2 general conclusions can be drawn after third ministerial resignation. On the one hand, contrary to first appearances, Trump did not fill his cabinet according to competence, but exclusively because he somehow knew the women and men privately

As he once said about accepting government contracts: As a libertarian, you can easily be against social welfare and still accept a welfare check.
18/

AI companies such as Google, Meta, Open AI and Anthropic also work closely with the US military. Most of them have softened their restrictions on military technology in Trump's second term. For Peter Thiel, however, this is not a contradiction to his libertarian philosophy.
17/

Under Trump, the turn of the actually libertarian tech oligarchs is taking place. Instead of keeping as much distance as possible from the state, they are now looking for its proximity and are working on the integration of the state and tech.

The great excitement about the political views of Palantir's executive suite actually comes too late, not only because the book was published in February 2025. Especially because what Palantir has now formulated has long since been implemented.

The new hot products, on the other hand, are: artificial intelligence (AI) for the military, autonomously attacking swarms of drones, total control over the enemy through surveillance.
14/

After all, he is more impressed by war drones and martial operations by masked police officers than by the most successful software for web search, office work or social media, the most successful tech products to date.
13/

Palantir's political manifesto fits in with the turnaround that part of the tech elite has made: away from progressive values and towards the nationalist strong-man politics of Donald Trump.
12/

Karp thinks Silicon Valley is too soft. Some call new age "hard tech": instead of entertainment and communication, it's about the really complicated, serious things: race to AI superintelligence that is supposed to surpass humans, to missiles, combat drones that find their targets independently
12/

Software and AI must be in the service of the US military and its partners. Karp is calling Silicon Valley to arms, so to speak: "If a US Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; the same applies to software."
11/

The well-read Karp almost seems like an educated middle-class cultural man from Europe who demonizes the daddel technique from California. Until the patriotic twist comes: Against the mindless commercial orientation, something sublime is needed, a national tech awakening.
10/

Karp and Zamiska criticize the Valley for concentrating for far too long on superficial, brainless consumer technologies – social networks, ride-hailing apps, dating platforms ("free email is not enough," the manifesto says).
9/

The phrases are a distillate from the book The Technological Republic, which was published more than a year ago. It was written by the founder and CEO of Palantir, Alex Karp, and Nicholas Zamiska.
8/

Karp leaves no doubt that he is fully on the side of the Trump administration, the military and the police. He presents himself as a culture warrior who defends the freedom of the West against Islamists as well as against China and the enemy within – the supposedly exuberant wokeness.
7/

The criticism of Silicon Valley that Palantir is now spreading serves a higher goal. It is an appeal to the best programmers to subordinate their skills to the national project. In the eyes of critics, it is a guide to the takeover of the state by the tech elite.
6/

His critics therefore consider Palantir, which is now based in Republican-dominated Florida, to be the heart of a modern surveillance state.
