Acid rain fell on Tehran while 68 oil tankers sat trapped near the Strait of Hormuz. A DOGE engineer allegedly walked out of Social Security with 500 million Americans’ data on a thumb drive – and said Trump would pardon him. And three luxury real estate brothers named in the Epstein files were convicted on all counts of sex trafficking.
Nobody Is Talking About What This War Is Doing to the Water
Israel bombed oil storage facilities in Tehran – a city of ten million – and the smoke turned noon into night. Then it rained acid. The Conflict and Environment Observatory has logged over 300 environmental incidents in eleven days across eleven countries. Sixty-eight fully loaded oil tankers are trapped near the Strait of Hormuz carrying 16 billion liters of crude. The Persian Gulf’s coral reefs, dugongs, and mangroves are sitting in a closed system with nowhere for the contamination to go. Gulf nations get 70-90% of their drinking water from coastal desalination plants that are now getting hit. We already know what this looks like – oil residues were still killing marine life a decade after the 1991 Gulf War.
A DOGE Employee Allegedly Walked Out of the SSA with Your Data on a Thumb Drive
A former DOGE software engineer allegedly left the Social Security Administration with two of the most restricted databases in the federal government on a thumb drive – Numident and the Master Death File, covering 500 million living and dead Americans. He then moved to a private contractor and asked colleagues to help him “sanitize” the data for company use. When someone raised legal concerns, he said he’d get a presidential pardon. The SSA’s inspector general is now investigating and has briefed four congressional committees. The agency’s former chief data officer called it “the worst-case scenario.”
The Alexander Brothers Were an Open Secret
Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander – three luxury real estate brokers named in the Epstein files – were convicted on all 10 counts of sex trafficking in Manhattan federal court. Sixty-plus women. Nineteen guilty verdicts. Their misconduct was called “an open secret in the real estate world.” They ran a blog called “Bent on Bitches,” sold properties to Leon Black, and are now facing life sentences. Sentencing is set for August 6.
