US seizes oil tanker off coast of Venezuela (VIDEO)
Attorney General Pam Bondi has said the sanctioned vessel was transporting oil from the South American country and Iran | The US has seized an oil tanker allegedly transporting oil from Venezuela and Iran, Attorney General Pam Bondi has said. ● The action off the coast of Venezuela took place amid a buildup of US military activity in the region and strikes against what Washington describes as "cartel boats."
💬 “Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, and the United States Coast Guard, with support from the Department of War, executed a seizure warrant for a crude oil tanker used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran,” Bondi wrote on X on Wednesday.
She said the vessel had been sanctioned “due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations.” ● The video posted by Bondi shows heavily armed law enforcement officials descending onto the ship from a helicopter.

U.S. Requires Social Strip-Search On Entry
Moon of Alabama | To travel to China is now much easier than to travel to the ‘leader of the free world’. | During the 1990s and up to the year 2001 I had visited the United States more than a dozen times. I had touched down and traveled through 22 of its 50 states. About half of that traveling was part of my job, the other half was vacationing and visiting friends. ● After the 9/11 attacks the U.S. shut down. Coming in by air plane required to take part in some ridiculous security theater. The previously already annoying waiting in line and questioning by custom and immigration officials got worse. Travelers were no longer welcome. I canceled my already planned future visits. It now gets worse.

Ursula von der Leyen is Completely Dissociated from Reality
John Leake [...] The European Commission President's Nov. 25, 2025 speech was animated by the same obstinate nonsense that compelled Napoleon to invade Russia in 1812 and Hitler to do the same in 1941. | Ursula is able to persist in making ruinous decisions for Europe because she is never held accountable for any of them. During the pandemic she had private discussions by text message with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla (see Did Ursula von der Leyen & Albert Bourla Mix Business with Pleasure?) to poison all of Europe with his mRNA shot. To this day, she has never been compelled to disclose these messages to the public. She also recently Likened Free Speech to an Infectious Disease. Now she wants to keep the war going in Ukraine and to continue sending EU taxpayer money to the corrupt, larcenist, money-laundering dictatorship in Kiev. [...] Increasingly, it seems to me that Europe’s “leaders”—Starmer, Macron, Merz, and von der Leyen—perceive that they need to keep the war with Russia going for their own political survival.
