Epstein Files Reveal Extensive Russian Contacts, Putin Meeting Attempts

What happened: Newly released US Department of Justice files this week reveal Jeffrey Epstein maintained extensive Russian contacts from 2010-2015, including multiple attempts to arrange meetings with Vladimir Putin and efforts to recruit young Russian women. The documents reference Putin over 1,000 times and Moscow more than 9,000 times, prompting speculation about possible intelligence connections, though no definitive proof has been published.
Why it matters: The revelations have triggered Poland to launch a national security investigation into potential Russian intelligence links, while the Kremlin has dismissed the allegations. The files implicate numerous high-profile figures including Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Prince Andrew, and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, raising questions about foreign influence operations and potential kompromat targeting Western leaders and business figures.

US Accuses China of Secret 2020 Nuclear Test, Monitor Finds No Evidence

What happened: The New START treaty between the US and Russia expired this week, ending caps on the world's two largest nuclear arsenals for the first time in over 50 years. US Under Secretary Thomas DiNanno publicly accused China on Friday of conducting covert nuclear explosive tests, including one on June 22, 2020, with yields in the hundreds of tons, allegedly using decoupling methods to mask seismic detection.
Why it matters: Without formal limits or verification measures, experts fear an unconstrained nuclear arms race as China rapidly expands its arsenal from 600 to an estimated 1,000 warheads by 2030. The US is pushing for a new treaty including China, but Beijing refuses to join until Washington and Moscow reduce their arsenals first, leaving global nuclear stability in unprecedented uncertainty.

China Developing Mini Hypersonic Missiles for Naval Gun
Center 67%
Right 33%
What happened: Chinese researchers published findings last month on an ultra-small hypersonic missile fired from standard 80mm anti-aircraft guns, reaching Mach 6 speeds with over 20km range. Computer simulations show 99% kill probability against fighter jets and drones at 10,000 meter altitudes, with targets detecting the weapon only 3km away.
Why it matters: This weapon could fundamentally reshape air warfare by compressing response windows to mere seconds and enabling low-cost mass launches that overwhelm defenses. If deployed widely, these gun-launched hypersonics would force major changes to aircraft defense strategies and air-defense systems worldwide.

AIPAC Funnels Dark Money to Three Democratic Candidates in Illinois

What happened: Two newly formed super PACs launched six-figure television ad buys in January to support three pro-Israel Democratic candidates in Chicago-area House primaries ahead of the March 17 election. Analysis reveals 237 AIPAC donors contributed nearly $825,000 to candidates Melissa Bean and Donna Miller, with many giving identical amounts on the same day, while donor disclosure rules delay transparency until after voters cast ballots.
Why it matters: This coordinated spending strategy allows special interest groups to influence which Democrats represent your district while obscuring their involvement until after you vote. The tactic exploits federal disclosure loopholes that postpone transparency, potentially reshaping Congress and party positions on Israel without voter awareness of who's funding the campaigns.

Google Declares Quantum Encryption Threat Already Underway
Center 100%
What happened: Yesterday, Google's Kent Walker warned that hackers are already harvesting encrypted data today to decrypt later with quantum computers, urging immediate migration to post-quantum cryptography. Google is deploying NIST's ML-KEM standard across its infrastructure in 2026, giving enterprises 12-24 months to transition before current encryption becomes vulnerable.
Why it matters: Your bank transfers, private messages, and sensitive data are being collected now by attackers in 'store now, decrypt later' campaigns. You have roughly 18 months to ensure critical systems adopt quantum-resistant encryption before future quantum computers can break today's security protecting your financial records and communications.

22 New Infant Remains Recovered at Tuam Mother and Baby Home

The latest: Excavators have recovered 33 sets of infant remains from the former St Mary's Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway, with 22 found between late November and late January. All were buried in coffins between 1925 and 1961 in an area marked as a burial ground on historical maps, and radiocarbon dating confirms they date to the institution's operational period.
What's happening: Forensic Science Ireland is conducting DNA analysis on the remains, with 28 family DNA samples already collected and 175 additional relatives being assessed for eligibility to provide samples. Excavation work that began last July will continue into 2027, with the next update due in April, as authorities work to identify infants and provide closure to families.
