🚨🇪🇸🇺🇸 Something strange happened in Spain, and almost nobody looked twice.
Wild hogs started dying right next to a USDA-funded research facility that was actively working on African swine fever, the same virus found in those animals.
When investigators pushed further, courts called it coincidence and sealed the key data for 10 years.
Dr. Robert Malone says this is a pattern that shows up again and again when outbreaks happen near sensitive research.
"Gain of function research is a risk. There's no doubt about it."

These ISO-Standard titans stand in the forefront of how they could bring real-world impact; fitting the institutional agenda of sustainability, eco-friendliness, financial alignment and equity.
$LINK and $Quant as Oracle networks, while $HBAR and $ALGO serve as the “foundations” of the infrastructure.
All four together laying the “piping” of the digital infrastructure.
Finally, we have $XDC, $XRP and $XLM as settlement networks; binding the digital infrastructure with the real world.
Together forming the digital infrastructure that becomes “visible”.

Did you know that over 50% of all murders in America only happen in 2% of the counties?
I used AI to make a visual map.
Can you guess what all of these counties have in common?
FBI expanded homicide data consistently shows that Black Americans (≈13.6% of the U.S. population) account for ≈50–55% of known murder offenders and a similar share of victims in recent decades.
In these specific counties, the vast majority of homicides occur in neighborhoods that are majority or plurality Black. This is not a coincidence — it is the dominant statistical pattern in the data. Cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Atlanta, etc., routinely see 70–90%+ of their murders involving Black victims and offenders.

Eileen Wang, the former Mayor of Arcadia, California (a Los Angeles suburb), has agreed to plead guilty to a federal felony charge of acting in the United States as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). She resigned from office on May 11, 2026, hours after the charges were unsealed.
Key Facts from the U.S. Department of Justice
Wang, 58, was elected to the Arcadia City Council in November 2022. The mayor’s role rotates among council members; she was sworn in as mayor in February 2026.
She is charged with one count of acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government. She has agreed to plead guilty; the plea is expected in the coming weeks. The statutory maximum penalty is 10 years in federal prison.
She appeared in federal court in Los Angeles on May 11 and was released on a $25,000 bond.
The case stems from conduct between late 2020 and 2022.
What She Allegedly Did
Wang and her then-fiancé/co-conspirator Yaoning “Mike” Sun (65, of Chino Hills) operated a website called U.S. News Center, presented as a news source for the local Chinese-American community.
According to the DOJ and her plea agreement:
They worked “at the direction and control” of PRC government officials.
They posted pro-PRC propaganda articles, sometimes receiving pre-written content via WeChat.
One example (June 2021): A PRC official sent an article denying genocide and forced labor in Xinjiang (including cotton production). Wang posted it minutes later. The official replied approvingly.
They coordinated with PRC officials, including high-level intelligence figure John Chen (who has since been sentenced in a related case).
Wang did not register as a foreign agent with the U.S. Attorney General and did not disclose on the website that some content was directed by the PRC.
Sun pleaded guilty in October 2025 and was sentenced in February 2026 to four years in prison for his role.
Official Statements
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli (Central District of California):
“Individuals in our country who covertly do the bidding of foreign governments undermine our democracy. This plea agreement is the latest success in our determination to defend the homeland against China’s efforts to corrupt our institutions.”
Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg:
“It is deeply concerning that someone who previously received and executed directives from PRC government officials is now in a position of public trust at all…”
FBI officials described it as a serious national security matter involving foreign influence in local U.S. politics.
Additional Context
Wang is a Democrat (she switched parties in 2022; she had previously leaned Republican and supported Kamala Harris in 2024).
The City of Arcadia has stated there is no indication that city funds were misused or that other staff were involved.
This case is part of broader DOJ/FBI efforts targeting PRC influence operations in the United States.
