Jan 9, 1918: Battle of Bear Valley of the American Indian Wars is widely considered the last official armed engagement of the American Indian Wars, a relatively small but significant skirmish between U.S. Army Buffalo Soldiers (10th Cavalry) and Yaqui people near the Arizona-Mexico border, marking the final encounter of that long conflict. This battle ocurred when a group of Yaquis opened fire on a group of 10th Cavalry soldiers in a tragic case of mistaken identity. It turned out the Yaqui had mistaken the Buffalo Soldiers for Mexican troops.

For the most part, armed American Indian resistance to the USGOV ended at the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29, 1890, and in the subsequent Drexel Mission Fight the next day.

On January 8, 1918, a cattle rancher reported the body of a cow in the mountains that had been used to make sandals. The Army dispatched a reconnaissance patrol, who found the Yaqui not far from the post. The Army sent a force after the Indians, who had moved south. The cavalry kept up its pursuit toward the border.

After some time, they dismounted and moved ahead on foot, finding a hastily-abandoned Yaqui camp. The Indians were close by and knew they were being chased. As the soldiers advanced forward, they came under fire from the Yaqui, who had cleverly concealed their positions. From behind boulders and trees, the firefight began.

The Yaqui fired on the Americans freely, seeming to disappear behind every rock and bush. One of the reports from the battle said the Indians disappeared like “shadows.” But the Army continued moving forward in a skirmish line. As they moved forward, they pushed the Natives back and began to close in on them. Eventually, they had the Yaqui confined to a small area. Realizing their predicament, one of the Yaqui stood up to surrender. The captain called a cease-fire.

As the troop of cavalrymen moved to surround what turned out to be ten Yaqui, they realized this band of Indians had made a glorious stand to buy time for the rest of the tribe, some 20 or more, to escape. One Yaqui was killed, and nine were taken, prisoner. A federal court sentenced them to jail for 30 days rather than extradite them to Mexico, where they would have been executed.

Coast Guard prepares for influx of seized ‘ghost fleet’ oil tankers

The Dark Fleet. Aside from putting the squeeze on Russian and Chinese oil customers & profits, someone should be asking how is the International Maritime Organization not done more to address this situation.


Everyone coming to realize the issue with the Dark Fleet.




Case in point...
"The NTSB released a report on a March 17, 2024, collision between the two vessels as they were transiting at the port of Georgetown, Guyana. The U.S.-flagged OSV Jack Edwards (278-foot vessel) was inbound to Georgetown when the vessel veered off course, moving out of its traffic lane. It resulted in a collision with the outbound UK-flagged cargo ship Julie C (453-foot vessel)."
NTSB: Overlooking Degrading Steer System Caused 2024 Collision


The tanker Bella 1 the US seized had painted a new name and Russian flag on its hull, is straight out of the movie Lord of War.



My tin foil hat theory is that the Kremlin traded for Viktor Bout "Merchant of Death" back in 2022 (remember the US basketball star Brittney Griner) because they needed his expertise and connections in smuggling to help manage their shadow fleet.





Oregon Relaunches Its Only Container Terminal After Scheduled Closing


Dmitry Medvedev assessment the first week of 2026: "a civilizational catastrophe."

The year started turbulently.

1. First and foremost, its opening will be remembered for the kidnapping of Maduro. Of course, this is sheer thuggery and vileness — or, to put it more elegantly, a civilizational catastrophe in the sphere of international relations.

Today there are only two scenarios. Either the United States quietly releases the kidnapped Venezuelan president under some respectable pretext (the probability of this is minimal), or he becomes a new Latin American Mandela (most likely). In that case, his name will be inscribed in the tablets of South American history alongside Bolívar, Miranda, and Chávez.

And even if, out of sheer stubbornness, Trump does not pardon Maduro after some time, public pressure will almost certainly force Vance or another successor to do so.

Yes, oil is the key factor here. But even that will not be simple. What if the current Venezuelan authorities refuse to share it with the Americans in the long run? Will Trump really launch a ground operation? That would definitely require Congress — and it would be far bloodier than the brazen abduction of Maduro. And the Senate has just tightened the noose around Trump, restraining his militaristic frenzy. And does the current administration even need something like this? Highly doubtful.

And one more thing. I noted this immediately after the Americans’ grotesque orgy: after such actions, the American elites — both Republican and Democratic — should permanently shove their long tongues back into their rickety asses.

And simply acknowledge the legitimacy of Russia’s actions during the SMO.

2. Sanctions against Russia, announced by Trump and which he “hopes not to use.”

Everything here is clear, and there are no illusions. U.S. sanctions policy will continue regardless of circumstances. Russia will be pressured into compromises on security guarantees and territories that are absolutely unacceptable to us. And then the White House ringleader will be “forced” to impose them under the law of the old degenerate Russophobe Graham. Unpleasant. Nothing new. But we will endure this time as well.

3. The story with the tanker of the so-called shadow fleet.

It is obvious why it came under Russia’s “temporary flag”: under threat of seizure, it sought protection from illegal American sanctions.

However, the method chosen was not entirely appropriate. Yes, what happened is a clear violation of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. But it is worth recalling that the United States never ratified it. In this context, issuing a temporary permit to fly our flag to a vessel that, albeit illegally, is being pursued by our main geopolitical adversary — an adversary currently in an unstable state — was a move with predictable consequences.

Which, of course, does not diminish the indisputable fact that the actions of the brazen Americans constitute a criminal seizure of a civilian vessel. And the response to it should be entirely outside the framework of the Law of the Sea Convention. Especially since, as one prominent legal scholar noted, international law is not required at all.

In any case, one must bear in mind that international relations have turned into outright Bedlam since the start of the year. And we must behave accordingly: there are far too many violent lunatics around. With the understanding that such patients are never calmed by the gentle persuasion of kind psychiatrists. Only by orderlies with massive fists and an impassive expression. Because dangerous madmen require either a straitjacket — or a lifesaving injection of haloperidol. As happened last night in the west of the Bandera-run Ukrainian periphery."

On that note there are many in gov't, on twitter, lefties on the street that could use a massive dose of Haloperidol.



Stirring the pot... will Iran regime go down this time?

It appears the angry protests are about severe economic hardship, inflation & currency collapse due to all the US sanctions tightening the noose.

It is fascinating how they were all unified last June after the Israel/US bombings and just 6 months later they completely flipped. It seems Iranians are no different than Americans, British, Europeans; many can be easily manipulated especially when it comes to economic downturn. I doubt that Reza Pahlavi has much support in Iran, I'm sure he does with US State Dept and British MI6, but the forces at play will use literally anyone to garner external support to keep the pressure squeeze going until a collapse of some sort. Iran's supreme leader is 85 so I think his time is coming to an end.

Next ruler...? Doubtful, but 2026 is cooking to be a shock 'n awe year and anything can happen! All wild conspiracies & predictions (no matter how crazy) are on the table.
