A former U.S. official has made shocking claims that the government constructed a $21 trillion underground city, built to house elites and ensure their survival in case of a global extinction event. This extraordinary statement has raised eyebrows and ignited widespread speculation about the existence of hidden, government-funded projects that cater to the powerful, leaving the rest of the population in the dark. If true, it paints a picture of a deeply divided world where the rich and powerful prepare for a future catastrophe, while the rest of humanity faces uncertainty.

The revelation of such a project raises questions about government transparency and accountability, especially when such vast sums of money are allegedly involved. $21 trillion is an astronomical amount, and the idea that it has been allocated to build a secret underground city for the few, at the potential expense of the many, is deeply unsettling. It forces us to question the priorities of those in power, and whether resources meant to protect all of society are being diverted into secretive ventures.

This alleged underground city, if it exists, would serve as a stark reminder of the growing disparity between the elite and the general population. It also raises fundamental questions about the future of human civilization: Who will be protected in the event of a global crisis, and who will be left behind? While the truth of the claim is still unknown, it’s an important reminder of the need for transparency and equity in times of global uncertainty.

As we reflect on this potential revelation, we are forced to confront the ethical implications of such a secretive initiative. What does it say about the values of those in power? And how should we, as a society, respond to the growing divide between the wealthy few and the rest of the world? This is a question we will likely grapple with for years to come.

 

A Bay Area city has made headlines by becoming the first to ban new data centers, citing growing concerns over electricity demand and water consumption. As the backbone of our digital world, data centers power everything from cloud storage to streaming services and artificial intelligence. But behind that convenience lies a massive environmental cost—these facilities require enormous amounts of energy to operate servers and cooling systems, along with millions of gallons of water to prevent overheating.

City officials argue that prioritizing residential needs, sustainability goals, and long-term resource management is more important than expanding tech infrastructure at any cost. Supporters of the ban see it as a bold, necessary step toward protecting local resources and setting limits on unchecked tech growth. Critics, however, warn that restricting data centers in innovation hubs could slow economic development, reduce job opportunities, and push infrastructure to less regulated areas.

This decision has ignited a broader debate across the tech industry and beyond. As demand for digital services continues to surge globally, communities are being forced to confront a difficult question: how do we balance technological advancement with environmental responsibility? The move may inspire other cities to reevaluate their own policies, potentially reshaping where and how future digital infrastructure is built.

Ultimately, this isn’t just about one city—it’s about the future of sustainable tech. As the world becomes more connected, the pressure to innovate responsibly has never been greater. The conversation is just beginning, and its impact could redefine the relationship between technology, resources, and the communities that host them.

On April 19, 2026, an image circulated of an Israeli soldier standing before a statue of Jesus Christ in Debel, a Maronite Christian village in southern Lebanon, bringing a hammer down upon the sacred face while another soldier recorded him. The image spread within hours because it seemed to compress a moral education into one gesture.

Tucker Carlson was furious. So was a segment of the American right that has, for years, supplied the political and theological conditions that produced this soldier. That is the story the image tells, if you are willing to read it past the shock.

Since October 7, 2023, Israeli soldiers have assembled one of the most extensive self-incriminating records in the history of modern warfare. They posted thousands of videos to Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook under their own names—soldiers posing with Palestinian women's underwear in the ruins of their homes, filming the humiliation of detainees, torching food supplies, demolishing houses while comrades cheered. The Israel Defense Forces chief of staff eventually issued a communiqué instructing troops to stop filming what he called "revenge videos." That such an instruction had to be issued is the revelation.

A soldier films his contempt after the contempt has been sanctioned. He brings a hammer to the face of Christ in a Lebanese Christian village after spending long enough in a world where the sacred things of subjugated people are available for whatever use he finds amusing. The camera reveals how comfortable the contempt has already become.

That comfort has been built over decades, through laws and habits that operate below the threshold of outrage. Palestinian life under Israeli rule is managed through permits withheld without explanation, military courts where the accused often faces a sealed file in place of evidence, and detention orders renewed in six-month increments until time joins the punishment. At Sde Teiman, a desert detention facility established after October 7, five soldiers were charged in February 2025 with beating a Palestinian prisoner, breaking his ribs, puncturing a lung, and causing a perforated rectum. When the soldiers were arrested, far-right members of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition stormed military facilities in protest. The defense minister called the prosecution a blood libel. In March 2026, Israel's top military lawyer dropped all charges. Netanyahu declared that Israel must spare its "heroic fighters."

The United Nations special rapporteur found in March 2026 that torture had become a structural feature of the ongoing genocide, extending from prisons into bombardment, starvation, forced displacement, and the terror of soldiers and settlers. B'Tselem has described Israel's prison system as a network of torture camps for Palestinians.

The same contempt moves through sacred space. Gaza's only Catholic church was struck by Israeli fire in July 2025, killing three people. In February 2026, during Ramadan, Israeli settlers vandalized and set fire to a mosque near Nablus, spray-painting insults against the Prophet Muhammad. The Palestinian Ministry of Religious Affairs said settlers had attacked 45 mosques in the West Bank in the previous year. Israeli authorities condemned the incident and promised a search—which is how impunity often speaks when it wishes to sound like law.

The deeper scandal lies in the moral conditioning of recognition. A violated Muslim sanctity can be treated as a security matter, a disputed incident, another complication in a place supposedly fated to brutality. Then a soldier raises a hammer against Christ, and men who had tolerated the pulverizing of Gaza discover that their theology has been disturbed. Here is Islamophobia in one of its oldest disguises: Muslim injury must first pass through a Christian icon before Christian power agrees to see a wound.

Tucker Carlson weeps for the statue in a world his own political allies helped construct. Mike Huckabee, the United States ambassador to Israel, told a television audience in February 2026 that it would be "fine" if Israel took over the entire Middle East. He had already stated that there is "really no such thing as a Palestinian." He is a Christian who calls on the Bible. The president he serves stood beside Netanyahu in February 2025 and announced that the United States would "take over" Gaza and that its 2 million inhabitants should "go to other countries." The United Nations said this constituted ethnic cleansing.

The United States has been a co-author of this order—replenishing the arsenal, shielding Israel at the Security Council, resisting the jurisdiction of international courts, treating Palestinian death as a cost to be managed after the weapons have done their work. In March 2026, the administration bypassed congressional review to approve a $650 million bomb sale to Israel, invoking emergency authority while Palestinians were still living under ruins made by earlier emergencies.

Christian Zionist theology has blessed this map from the beginning: a map in which Palestinian land, Lebanese land, and Syrian land can be folded into sacred entitlement. That theology sanctifies the conditions, the army carries them out, and supremacist politics rewards the result. The soldier with the hammer grew inside that order. He filmed himself because he believed the record would survive as proof of victory.

What struck the statue was already striking everything else. The violence became visible to a new audience. A conscience that required the face of Christ as its activation point had been choosing all along.

I won’t be buying any new cars from 2026 onward….

Federal Law Forces Invasive Driver Surveillance Systems into Every New U.S. Car by 2027

Congress enacted Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, directing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to mandate advanced impaired driving prevention technology in all new passenger vehicles.

This federal requirement locks in for model year 2027, with rollout accelerating toward late 2026.

Infrared cameras, AI-powered algorithms, and biometric sensors will embed directly into vehicle dashboards nationwide.

These systems will relentlessly scan eye movements, head position, pupil changes, breathing rhythms, steering behavior, and other vital signs in real time.

Detection of suspected impairment, whether accurate or triggered by a false positive, triggers automatic intervention: the car refuses to start or abruptly limits speed, stranding drivers without appeal.

NHTSA’s own February 2026 report to Congress admits current technology falls far short of required accuracy, warning that even high detection thresholds could generate millions of erroneous shutdowns annually.

Yet the statutory mandate presses forward unchanged. Congressional efforts to repeal or defund it (including amendments backed by Rep. Thomas Massie) collapsed in January 2026, sealing the timeline.

Every new vehicle will carry an extra several hundred dollars in hidden costs.

The law creates a vast, uncharted biometric data ecosystem inside private cars, with no ironclad protections against hacking, insurer access, or warrantless government queries.

Sensitive personal information—your gaze, fatigue levels, potential medical signals—will flow through systems ripe for abuse as surveillance capabilities expand.

This marks a chilling federal takeover of personal mobility.

Americans will sit under constant algorithmic judgment every time they enter a new vehicle, with machines empowered to override human decisions on the open road.

I do not consent to this government-mandated surveillance embedded in my car.

Do you?

Why Is No One Talking About the Fact That Ghislaine Maxwell's Eldest Sisters Built Tech Surveillance Infrastructure for U.S. and Israeli Intelligence?

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez for THE PUGILIST
Apr 28, 2026

As President Donald Trump considers a pardon for convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell (with a majority of Republican members of the House Oversight Committee publicly favoring the move) two of her older sisters, fraternal twins who built surveillance and data-mining systems used by the FBI and Israeli intelligence, have received little public scrutiny.

Isabel and Christine Maxwell, 75, were born August 16, 1950, in Maisons-Laffitte, France. They are daughters of Robert Maxwell, the British media tycoon whose 1991 funeral was attended by six sitting heads of Israeli intelligence services and eulogized by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, who stated Maxwell had “done more for Israel than can today be said.” Biographers Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillon documented Maxwell as a high-level Mossad (Israeli intelligence) asset who used his empire to distribute PROMIS — a stolen, backdoored Department of Justice database system Maxwell sold to nations, intelligence agencies, and other institutions worldwide, including U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories in New Mexico.

Both twins worked at Information on Demand, the company Robert Maxwell used to distribute PROMIS software inside the United States. Robert Maxwell purchased the company in 1982. Christine Maxwell headed it from 1985 until her father's death in 1991, during which period she helped sell the bugged software to several Fortune 500 companies. Isabel Maxwell also worked there. The FBI opened an investigation into Information on Demand in October 1983. The FBI's own sources, cited in congressional records, indicated that top DOJ officials conspired to obstruct related PROMIS investigations during the tenure of Attorney General Edwin Meese, under President Ronald Reagan.

Christine Maxwell

In 1982, Christine Maxwell acquired Information on Demand.

After co-founding the early search engine Magellan with Isabel — sold to Excite in 1996 — Christine co-founded Chiliad, a software company specializing in federated search across disparate databases. She also partnered with CIA official Alan Wade to market Chiliad’s homeland security software to the U.S. national security state.

Christine Maxwell also served as a trustee of the Santa Fe Institute, the private complexity-science research center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, founded by nuclear weapons scientists, that Jeffrey Epstein used as his primary intellectual justification for purchasing Zorro Ranch. Epstein stated publicly that he bought the ranch in order to be near the institute's scientists.

Ghislaine Maxwell told investigators in a 2025 deposition that it was she who led Epstein to New Mexico and encouraged him to buy the ranch. Her sister Christine, she has said, connected Epstein to the Santa Fe Institute and its head at the time, Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann, in the 1990s. Robert Maxwell’s foundation, through Christine, had donated $300,000 to endow a Maxwell Professorship at the institute beginning in 1990 — three years before Epstein bought Zorro Ranch. Christine Maxwell's trusteeship at the institution that served as Epstein's stated reason for planting himself in New Mexico has not been widely reported, if at all.

Following the September 11 attacks, the FBI contracted Chiliad to build and operate its Investigative Data Warehouse, the agency’s primary counterterrorism database, enabling searches across millions of classified documents from multiple agencies. According to a 2008 Business Wire report, the system connected to databases of the Department of Homeland Security, the CIA, the NSA, and the Pentagon, with 8,000 active FBI user accounts executing one million searches per month. Christine Maxwell served as a board director of Chiliad as recently as August 2019. No public record of a counterintelligence review of that contract exists, and no public record documents when or whether it ended.

Christine is married to Roger Malina, a physicist and astronomer who holds dual appointments as distinguished professor of arts and technology and professor of physics at the University of Texas at Dallas. The marriage places Christine in Dallas, where public records show the couple own an apartment less than three hours from Ghislaine’s current prison camp in Bryan, Texas. Public records also show Isabel has used the same Dallas apartment as a base.

Roger Malina’s lineage is its own thread. His father, Frank Malina, was a rocket propulsion engineer and the second director of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory — one of the builders of America’s early space program. The FBI labeled Frank Malina a socialist during the McCarthy era and forced him to flee to Paris, where he became a kinetic artist and founded Leonardo Journal, the peer-reviewed publication at the intersection of art and science that his son Roger now edits for MIT Press. Leonardo Journal was first published by Pergamon, Robert Maxwell’s company. The son of the man the FBI surveilled and drove into exile married the daughter of the man who allegedly sold backdoored software to American intelligence agencies, and that man published the magazine his father founded. Roger Malina has spent his career at the institution his father helped build, now embedded at a Texas university three hours from the prison holding his sister-in-law.

Christine and Roger Malina’s sons extend the family’s reach further. Their son Xavier worked on the Obama-Biden 2008 presidential campaign and subsequently served in the Office of White House Personnel at the Executive Office of the President, before becoming a lecturer at UC Berkeley and a product analyst at Google. Their son Yuri co-founded SwipeSense, a venture-backed healthcare startup whose technology was used for contact tracing and electronic monitoring in hospitals, acquired by SC Johnson in 2020. Public records show Yuri Malina also holds a patent jointly with his aunt — convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell — for a wearable gel sanitizer dispenser.

Isabel Maxwell

After her father’s death, Isabel Maxwell became president of CommTouch, an Israeli-American email security firm, in 1997. The company went public on NASDAQ in 1999 after receiving $20 million personal investments each from Microsoft co-founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen. CommTouch was later rebranded CYREN and focused on cybersecurity before ceasing operations in February 2023.

Isabel also served as president of iCognito, an Israeli web content filtering company later renamed Puresight, from 2003 to 2004. She joined the board of Israeli technology company Backweb alongside Gil Shwed, co-founder of Check Point Software and a veteran of Unit 8200, the Israeli signals intelligence directorate. She served on the board of the Shimon Peres Center for Peace and was a regular participant at the Herzliya Conference, an annual closed-door gathering of senior Western intelligence and security officials.

In a parallel to her sister’s family connection inside a United States presidential administration, Isabel’s son, Alexander Djerassi, worked as a policy associate on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before being appointed chief of staff and special assistant in the State Department’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs under Secretary Clinton. He served from 2009 to 2012, working on the Arab Spring and representing the United States at the Friends of Libya and Friends of the Syrian People conferences.

Isabel Maxwell’s first husband Dale Djerassi's father invented the birth control pill; David Hayden, her second husband, co-founded the search engine Magellan with her and her sister.

Her third husband was Al Seckel, Epstein's reputation manager and island conference organizer.

Seckel, an American self-described cognitive neuroscientist and expert in optical illusions, married Isabel around 2007. He had fabricated his academic credentials. He was later exposed as a serial fraudster who left behind a trail of debt, court actions, and bankruptcy when he and Isabel fled the United States for France around 2010.

Before the exposure, Seckel had made himself useful to Epstein in two documented ways. He co-organized the Mindshift Conference, a science gathering held on Epstein’s private island Little Saint James in 2010 and 2011, featuring scientists and cryptocurrency entrepreneur Brock Pierce. He also ran a paid reputation-management operation for Epstein post-conviction, coordinating efforts to suppress negative search results, manipulate Wikipedia to remove Epstein’s mugshot and references to pedophilia, and push down critical press coverage. Epstein paid him tens of thousands of dollars for these services. The operation is documented in emails spanning from at least 2009 through 2013.

Seckel died in 2015 at the bottom of a 100-foot cliff near their home in France. French authorities ruled the death a suicide, concluding he jumped as he was about to be publicly exposed as a fraud. Questions about the circumstances of his death persisted for years. He appears in 1,723 documents in the DOJ-released Epstein files.

Federal Record

When FBI agents arrested Ghislaine Maxwell in July 2020, they tracked her using an IMSI-catcher device monitoring a phone she used to call three people: her husband Scott Borgerson, one of her attorneys, and her sister Isabel.

In April 2026, seven days after Melania Trump issued a surprise White House statement denying personal ties to Maxwell and Epstein, Maxwell sent prosecutors a USB drive via FedEx containing a self-written motion to vacate her conviction and approximately 50 exhibits she described as substantial new evidence — filed past her legal deadline. Prosecutors called the motion meritless. The government has until June 5, 2026 to respond.

It should be noted that the new owners of Zorro Ranch, Mary Catherine and Donald Huffines, are also in Dallas. They tried to purchase the ranch secretly but were outed by The Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper in January 2026.

In a parallel to the sons of the Maxwell twins, a Huffines son, Russell, was placed in the White House Office of Cabinet Affairs as Associate Director of Agency Outreach in June 2025 — during the same period the family owned Epstein's ranch under a concealed LLC and Russell’s boss, Donald Trump, was weighing a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell.

No link has been established between the Maxwell and Huffines families, though the Huffines have kept the two FCC licenses assigned to the bidirectional private, military/industrial grade microwave radio communications network on the ranch active, in the Zorro Development name, with Epstein’s former ranch manager, Brice Gordon, still listed on the license.

(Please note: Ghislaine’s other sister Anne is an actress who appears to live a quiet life.)

I HAD TO EXPLAIN PART OF THE MAJOR DEPOPULATION AGENDA TO SOMEONE AND I AM NOW SHARING IT WITH YOU:

Joanne Birsan Addis, the 5G grid is already in place in most of the world. The United States has it all over and Europe is coming on strong with it too. It is what is killing the people in China, Spain and Italy, and it was installed onto the "Princess" cruise ship, also. 5G makes the Electrons in the Oxygen molecules move very quickly so, when the Oxygen is in the lungs, the Hemoglobin Protein in the blood stream cannot absorb the Oxygen, because of the speeding Electrons. Therefore, the Oxygen does not reach the brain and that is why you have people in Wuhan falling over dead and people with weak respiratory systems dying in different countries where the 5G grid has been installed. Wuhan installed 5G as a "pilot test" in 2018. They knew exactly what they were doing because, they put the Coronavirus in the forced vaccinations that the Chinese citizens had to take in 2019, right before the Coronavirus bioweapon was blamed on a false "Outbreak" from an animal market. Why do you think the only BSL-4 biological laboratory in all of China is in Wuhan? The Coronavirus is not a very dangerous virus actually and only kills people that have very weak immune systems or are terminally ill amongst other complications. The Coronavirus is being used to cover up the same symptoms of the much more dangerous 5G electromagnetic radiation. This is the MAJOR DEPOPULATION AGENDA.
