The FBI has recently disclosed seven pages from an investigation spanning 1985-2002 into the illicit smuggling of nuclear triggers out of the US by a network of front companies linked to the Israeli Ministry of Defense. The files shed light on the involvement of Richard Kelly Smyth, who was convicted of running a US front company, and his interactions with Benjamin Netanyahu, now Israelâs prime minister, during the smuggling operation. The operation, known as âProject Pinto,â also involved Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan, who was recruited into Israelâs economic espionage division in his 20s. The FBI report also reveals that the Ministry of Defense ordered and paid Heli Trading for the nuclear triggers, which were sourced from Milchanâs company, MILCO. The FBI has referred an additional 164 pages for further review, which are unlikely to be released.
In New York, a group of migrants allegedly attacked two police officers near Times Square, leading to calls for their incarceration. Jhoan Boada, one of the suspects, was seen making an obscene gesture to the cameras as he left court after being arraigned on charges of assaulting a police officer and obstructing governmental administration. The NYPD Chief of Patrol criticized the release of five accused cop-attackers on bail, stating that there are no consequences for such actions. The suspects, originally from Venezuela, arrived in the city last year and live in migrant shelters. The incident is still under investigation, and additional footage is being reviewed.
Meanwhile, Canadaâs population has grown by over one million in 2022, equivalent to a 2.7% increase. Immigration has played a significant role in this growth, with India being the largest source, followed by China, Afghanistan, and Nigeria. The shift in immigration patterns from Europe to other regions has led to an increase in ethnic diversity, which some believe may lead to potential conflicts and a deterioration of Canadian institutions and culture.

Lastly, the Finance Committee in the Iraqi parliament has called for the sale of oil in currencies other than the US dollar in order to counter US sanctions on the Iraqi banking system.

âCognitive Warfare: Exploiting Emotions and Technology in Modern Cyberwarfareâ
Cognitive warfare is no longer science fiction. Cognitive warfare is a fact of the modern age and everyone, whether civilian or military, is a potential target. Cognitive attacks are aimed at exploiting emotions rooted in our subconscious, bypassing our rational conscious mind.
