investigating what the Clinton foundation did in Haiti

21 January 2026: Haiti is facing multiple, overlapping humanitarian, political, economic and security crises, with dire consequences for the local population. 16,000 people have been killed since January 2022, 1.5 million have been displaced and more than half do not have enough food to eat.

Powerful gangs now control vast swathes of territory and infrastructure in the country. Abetted by a steady flow of trafficked arms, they are inflicting horrific violence on civilians, including homicides, kidnapping and sexual violence.




4,000 murders a year in a population of 12 million.

The same email address used for all 700 companies in California was WTFFMSCA@AOL.COM, mocking the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
"This darkness, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun".
– Thallus (52 AD)


“In the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad (AD 33), there was an eclipse of the sun greater than any previously known. At the sixth hour of the day, that is noon, it became night, so that the stars appeared in the sky, and a great earthquake in Bethnia overturned many houses in Nika.”
– Phlegon of Trollis (~200 AD)


“At the same moment, the light of the day was withdrawn, though the sun was at its height. You yourselves have an account of this worldwide port tent preserved in your archives.”

10+ different businesses
all with the same email address and phone number?

More than 700 Trucking companies list the same address in Signal Hill, California near Long Beach, which is the 2nd largest container port in America.

About 500 of these share the same phone number and an email address - leading many to believe major Fraud is happening in the trucking industry - hurting American trucking companies.

Joe Biden pumped $57 million in grants into the trucking industry in 2021 with The Biden-Harris Trucking Action Plan working to streamline CDL issuance - which it did - issuing over 876,000 CDLs since January 2021.

At the same time, Biden expanded programs like CBP One and CHNV parole which issued work permits to more than 531,000 migrants by September 2024, and added 70,000 H-2B visas in 2025 allowing migrants to get trucking jobs.

The U.S. experienced a 400% rise in freight fraud from 2022 to 2023.

In April 2023, the potential fraud was reported to the FMCSA, highlighting the improbability of so many companies operating from a single, small building in a town of 11,500 people - yet nothing has been done.

The email address - WTFFMSCA@AOL.COM - has been described as mocking the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)


In April of last year, President Donald Trump signed an executive order saying speaking English is a non-negotiable safety requirement" for Truck drivers.

The Executive order came about one month after 37-year-old Solomun Weldekeal Araya rammed his truck into 17 vehicles after failing to stop, killing five people including a child and an infant.

Video taken after the crash appears to show that Araya was unable to speak English.

Austin Police charged him with five counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of intoxication assault.

His bond was reduced from $1.2 million to $7 thousand

I don't know anything firsthand, other than it cuts a loving parent to the core when a child is sick or hurting and we can't fix it. My heart goes out to you. I did find this article, might be relevant to your situation. Hang in there.

That was the premise of the 1986 TV movie "The Right of the People". After a murder, a law is passed so everyone can open carry, only for the town to be turned into a 'war zone'.

That's the thing. I don't watch with the premise of "is this AI or not" so I am not proactively checking. There are ways to tell, but to the average person giving it a first look, AI has gotten eerily realistic.
