Former CIA officer Susan Miller refuted Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s claims that the Obama administration manufactured intelligence to undermine Donald Trump’s 2016 election win. Miller, who helped assemble the 2019 Mueller report, emphasized that their investigation was solely focused on the data, with no external influence dictating their conclusions. The team concluded with high probability that the Russians aimed to get Trump elected, while acknowledging they could not determine the effectiveness of these efforts. Miller strongly criticized Gabbard’s assertions, maintaining that the intelligence findings were accurate and not politically motivated.

Ukraine alleges that Russia is forcibly abducting Ukrainian children, indoctrinating them, and compelling them into military service, potentially to fight against their own people. These actions, reportedly orchestrated by President Putin, are part of a broader plan to replenish dwindling military ranks and demoralize Ukrainian troops. One example is Vlad Rudenko, who was abducted at 16, subjected to intense training, and eventually escaped. The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Putin due to these child abductions, but Russia denies any wrongdoing, despite documented evidence of indoctrination camps and forced assimilation.

In a recent lawsuit, two funeral homes are accused of a gruesome error: allegedly providing grieving parents with their deceased son’s brain in an unmarked box. The box, shipped between funeral homes and left in the family’s car, began to leak and emit a foul odor, with the father inadvertently handling the brain matter. The Butlers’ attorney asserts that both funeral homes were negligent in their handling of the remains and caused severe emotional distress. The Butlers seek answers and compensation, hoping the lawsuit will prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future, as they still do not know if the brain was buried with the rest of his remains.

Russia cancels main naval parade after losing 33% of Black Sea Fleet in Ukrainian drone strikes. Well, that’s a headline that certainly grabs your attention, doesn’t it? It’s hard not to chuckle a little, isn’t it? You can almost hear the collective groan emanating from the Kremlin as they cancel the big naval show. And the reason? Well, let’s just say the Ukrainian drone operators have been having a field day, turning a significant chunk of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet into, shall we say, a permanent underwater exhibit. Losing a third of your naval power is, to put it mildly, a bit of a setback, especially when it comes at the hands of a country that…well, let’s just say they don’t exactly have a navy of their own.… Continue reading
According to a former senior CIA officer, Susan Miller, who helped oversee the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 election, the claims made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the White House that the assessment was an attempt to sabotage President Donald Trump are untrue. Miller stated that the assessment, based on credible information, showed Russia aimed to help Trump win, but there was no evidence of collusion between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign. While acknowledging that Russia sought to influence the election, Miller’s team did not find evidence to prove the impact of the information warfare on the vote. However, the White House and the ODNI have disputed Miller’s claims, citing a 2020 report that asserts there was insufficient information to conclude Russia had been trying to tip the scales in favor of Trump.
