🚨🚨 To all our WarStrike listeners and supporters:
We have both decided to take a break to devote ourselves independently to other projects. We have produced WarStrike nearly without interruption for the past 121 weeks straight, and we both have many ideas and other work which has either remained unfinished or stuck in the planning stages up to now.
We remain extremely proud of this body of work, and will leave our show archive up in perpetuity. We want to thank everyone who has supported WarStrike and helped build the greatest livestream community on the internet. We are both indebted to you.
Please follow us both as we take the next step in this struggle.
Warren and Joe
⁉️⁉️ The biggest battle in Karmelo Anthony's murder trial so far isn't over evidence ... it's over whether jurors can put their personal feelings aside.
⭕️ During jury selection this week in Collin County, Texas, several potential jurors admitted they would struggle to convict Anthony -- or send him to prison -- because of his age, with one person reportedly telling the court, "He looks like a child."
⭕️ One potential juror reportedly said, "I don't think I can make a decision about somebody so young. One mistake, one argument, one conflict, you can't say he's a bad person."
⭕️ Another prospective juror raised eyebrows after admitting, "I don't know if I feel right putting a brother in jail," when asked about finding a black defendant guilty of murder.
⭕️ Anthony, now 18, is charged with first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of fellow teen Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet in April 2025.

🔴Is Donald Trump the most corrupt politician ever?
🔴 Putting aside the Iran war (which many say is the most disastrous decision ever by a US president), the current admin is engaging in every type of crooked scheme imaginable.
🔴 From giving government handouts to rare earth companies with ties to the Trump family, to lucrative government contracts, bond schemes, international resource theft, illegal mergers, naked bribery at the expense of the environment, crypto scams, selective IRS protections and everything in between.
You name it, Trump and his cabal have done it, as he became $3.4 billion richer in the first 7 months of his 2nd term alone.

🇮🇱 The Israeli export of “combat-proven” weapons surged to a record high last year – exceeding a $19 billion threshold, Israel’s War Ministry announced in a statement on 2 June.
✡️✡️ “Israel's all-time defense export record has been broken for the fifth consecutive year, with $19.2 billion in 2025 – a nearly 30 percent surge compared to the previous year, more than doubling in five years and quadrupling in a decade,” the ministry announced.
💰💰 The majority of these deals (53 percent) were “mega-deals valued at $100 million or more each,” the Israeli War Ministry went on to say.

🇮🇱 Dozens of members of Congress and Capitol Hill staffers have enjoyed lavish gifted travel to Israel funded by an Aipac affiliate since 7 October 2023, amid Israel’s expanding wars on its neighbors and despite plummeting levels of support among Americans for the country’s policies, a Guardian analysis has found.
✡️✡️ Congressional ethics filings and other public records show the trips, led by the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), revolved around one-sided briefings on Middle East politics and Israeli domestic and foreign policy. Lawmakers and their staffers from both parties met Israeli officials, military contractors and civil society figures, including Benjamin Netanyahu and advocates for the annexation of the West Bank and the displacement of Palestinians from Jerusalem.

🇮🇱💥🇱🇧 Israeli air strikes on southern Lebanon have continued, despite Trump’s promise of de-escalation.
Trump said Monday night that both sides agreed “all shooting will stop” after Tehran signaled that Israel’s military operations in Lebanon could derail efforts to end the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Talks with Tehran were ongoing, Trump said.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🪦A US Army soldier & British soldier both died during a "military training accident" at Erbil Air Base in Iraq on May 31.
Many suspect this is one of several tactics being used to obfuscate the American death toll in the Iran War.

🇫🇷 Publicis, a French multinational, has been gradually acquiring data firms, from data broker Epsilon to “end-to-end data solution” Lotame. Publicis represents global juggernauts like Coca-Cola and McDonald’s, and its global reach could expand the identity graph everywhere. It is even the largest Western advertiser in China, with about 20 percent of the Chinese media agency market and partnerships with Tencent and Alibaba.
⭕️ Publicis announced its intention to buy LiveRamp in a $2.5 billion deal. This is the company that combines multiple inputs of an individual’s personal data (web activity, subscriptions, apps, travel, retail, financial, and even medical history) to generate an “identity graph,” a precise profile of our lives and actions.
⭕️ LiveRamp is said to have built identity graphs on 245 million Americans, virtually every U.S. adult. These can be used in any context, from web to apps to smart TVs.
💊💊 Publicis has misused data before, including an incredible case where it apparently extracted data from recordings between patients and doctors so it could target patients with ads about … OxyContin. That led to a $350 million settlement.
