This article was originally published by Ava Grace at Natural News. The FCC has banned all new models of foreign-made drones from the U.S. market, specifically targeting Chinese companies like DJI, citing national security risks of espionage and data theft. The ban, supported by a bipartisan consensus, aims to force the development of a secure domestic drone industry ahead of major events like the 2028 Olympics and is part of a broader U.S. strategy to decouple from Chinese technology. While existing drones can still be used, the ban will disrupt nearly 500,000 U.S. commercial operators who rely on affordable foreign…
An image shows a column of fire and billows of deep black smoke in the aftermath of a bomb blast in downtown Kiev. A news story purporting to be from CNN raises alarm about a rash of drone sightings causing community panic in Syracuse, New York. Aside from their plausibility in changing and uncertain times, what these media reports have in common is that they’re totally fake: computer-generated products of the Synthetic Media Lab at Syracuse University. The school doesn’t use these deepfakes to deceive the American public, as many hostile foreign actors seek to do; they use them to…

President Donald Trump has presided over a rapid surge of U.S. military activity abroad since returning to the Oval Office. In the first year of his second term, he has authorized a series of strikes ranging from the unprecedented use of bunker-buster bombs against Iran’s most fortified nuclear sites to a sustained counternarcotics campaign off the Venezuelan coast. Trump, who has labeled himself a “peace president,” frames the expansion of force as a strategy of “peace through strength.” At his inaugural ball in January, he declared, “We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also…
The rulers of the United States and Israel, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, have issued a threat to Iran, saying they will “knock the hell” out of the country if it rebuilds its nuclear or ballistic missile projects. Iran responded and promised a “harsh” and aggressive response if it is attacked. Recently, Iran’s ruler claimed that it was in a “full-fledged war” with the U.S., Israel, and Europe. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated the pledge on Tuesday, stating that “Iran’s response to any tyrannical aggression will be harsh and regrettable.” Iran’s President Claims It’s In A “Full-Fledged War” With The…
“The French like to maintain that the outbreak of war is always marked by a poor vintage, and victory by a gloriously celebratory one. Thus 1945 was a great vintage, 1939 mediocre, 1918 good, 1914 dismal,” writes Julian Barnes. It was as if the ground itself knew of the invasion and then, six long years later, of victory.Alcohol and war have always been intrinsically tied, with a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealing that “service members consume alcohol on more days of the year than any other profession.” Soldiers drink. It’s been an enduring love…
Sign up for This Happened to Me News on backcountry adventure and wilderness survival. A few years ago, while I was researching an article I was writing about a Nazi-killing mad trapper, I came upon unrelated stories of two expert woodsmen who went missing in the Yukon wilderness. The two tragedies occurred within 115 miles of each other but 27 years apart. Both men were alone and in both cases about two weeks passed before anyone knew something was wrong. At both scenes, only scant and bizarre evidence was found. One of the men was Ed Wilkinson, a 58-year-old trapper…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. 2025 has truly been a historic year. No matter which side of the fence you are on, nobody can deny that we have witnessed seismic political changes over the last 12 months. Meanwhile, the AI revolution is transforming our lives in ways that we don’t even understand. But despite all of our advanced technology, we can’t stop the endless barrage of natural disasters that have been pummeling us in 2025, and hunger continues to spread all over the globe. Of course, war has been a major theme…
