🇺🇸 Pentagon considers leasing part of Camp Pendleton to help fund Golden Dome missile defense system

The Defense Department is considering leasing parts of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, for commercial use, with profits potentially helping fund President Donald Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense project, a current defense official and a former defense official told NBC News.

The base sprawls across more than 125,000 acres of Southern California, less than one-quarter of which is build out, including what the Marine Corps says is the “largest undeveloped portion of coastline in Southern California.”

Marines use some of the undeveloped land’s variety of terrain for training. The beaches are critical to amphibious landing training, for instance, while mountains, desert and rangeland are used in combat readiness drills.

The Pentagon has conducted an initial survey of the areas that could be leased for commercial use, but the officials could not say how many acres are under consideration or how long those leases would be. Various areas spread around the base would most likely be up for lease, rather than one large chunk of land, and the Pentagon is focused on areas the Marines rarely use, the officials said.

📝Anon: America is out of money.

🇬🇧 The UK is arresting on average 30 citizens a day for offensive speech online, amounting to 12,000 a year.

The story of Bernadette Spofforth: immediately after the Rwandan migrant, Axel Rudakubana, murdered 3 young girls in Southport and injured 8 others, Spofforth retweeted someone claiming that the murder was caused by a "newly arrived migrant".

Even though Bernadette deleted the retweet from her timeline as new information came to light that the attacker was a 2nd generation migrant, a British law enforcement officer had already seen it and sent a patrol to her home and arrest her.

Maxie Allen, a radio producer in Hertfordshire woke up to six officers knocking on their door to haul him and his wife to jail over comments they posted in a private WhatsApp group for parents at their children’s school.

In 2018 a man identifying himself as “Adam” phoned into the British talk radio station LBC to describe his encounter with police earlier that year.

“I’m Asian myself and I did this drawing of a mate of mine, who’s also Asian, and I said, ‘you look like a terrorist.’ And he took it really well. He thought it was funny,” he told the host.

But someone else saw the humorous doodle, took issue, and called police. Months later, Adam and his friend were interviewed by authorities — the friend told cops he laughed at the drawing and wasn’t offended — but police still made an official report for a “non-crime hate incident” and forced Adam to write a letter of apology to his friend, which he had to email to him.

Last October, Adam Smith-Connor, a 51-year-old Army veteran, was convicted and forced to pay a $12,000 fine for silently praying outside an abortion clinic in Dorset. In April, anti-mass migration French philosopher Renaud Camus was banned from the UK, where he was set to give a speech.

Lucy Connolly was sentenced to 31 months in prison for “publishing written material with the intent to stir up racial hatred". Her crime? She posted on X her support for mass deportations. Coppers say she “falsely claimed” the Al Qaeda-supporting killer was a migrant, even though his parents were migrants.

Connolly, like Spofforth, realized her mistake and deleted the tweet three hours after posting but police still showed up a week later to arrest her.

Free speech activists called Britain a “two-tier” justice system when Labor councillor Ricky Jones was found not guilty after calling for the murder of anti-migration protestors, telling a crowd “we need to cut all their throats.”

This summer, the UK government updated its definition of terrorist ideologies to include “cultural nationalism,” singling out Westerners who express concern over mass migration.

Of the 33,000 car thefts recorded in London alone last year, only 300 arrests were made; while just five percent of the over 40,000 shoplifting incidents reported in London in 2023 led to charges.
