THE DOGS OF WAR: The A.I. Crime Syndicate

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Sept. 17, 2026

Universities across the country are now offering classes in A.I. (how to use stolen data to make more money for yourself.)

The trail is long back to Israel and Epstein at Arizona State University.

ASU is now offering a class in A.I. for investigative journalists. ASU is even offering a certificate in it. We wish this was fake news and not an oxymoron.

Some of the new 'reporters' online have joined the cause and are now posting A.I. written 'news stories,' claiming others hard work as their own. However, the technology to expose them is advancing as fast as the crime syndicate itself. Now, you can run the words of their articles through the free online 'Scan for A.I.' websites, known as 'Scan for A.I. parasites.'

Ironically, ASU's college newspaper pulled off numerous articles that were exposed as A.I. written.

Epstein used non-profits and MIT's Joi Ito to funnel money to ASU to promote their agenda, A.I., genetics and cyber currency. They even targeted journalism at ASU by way of non-profit.

At the beginning of the genocide in Palestine, ASU led a coalition of universities to promote Israel, while at the same time, ASU arrested peaceful protesters supporting Palestine on campus.

The A.I. cheerleaders say A.I. is data scraping the web's data to "train" its computers.

Not so.

The A.I. companies have data scraped and stolen all of our copyrighted articles at Censored News, and are now using our unique articles to answer questions -- without permission -- and making money off our unpaid writers work.

The horrific data centers are documented now poisoning the air and rivers. And finally the United Nations has changed its stance and no longer supports A.I., citing the threat to the future of humanity.

However those choosing to ignore ethics and theft remain on the gravy train. And that gravy train includes millions of dollars in defense contracts for ASU for the development of A.I. and robotics for war.

Book Tour: Spy Towers Impact Revealed by Ophelia Rivas, Tohono O'odham

Significant Impact: Contesting Surveillance Infrastructure on Tohono O'odham Je'ved

By Ophelia Rivas, Caitlin Blanchfield and Valerie Kolowratnik 

Significant Impact: Contesting Surveillance Infrastructure on Tohono O’odham Je’ved brings together stories, essays, and narrative cartography in a counter environmental assessment to document and describe the effects of surveillance infrastructure on the Tohono O’odham Nation—a Native American reservation on the United States-Mexico border.

A collaboration between O’odham Human Rights advocate Ophelia Rivas, human rights scholar Nina Valerie Kolowratnik, and architectural historian Caitlin Blanchfield, the book advocates against militarized infrastructures on Indigenous lands and challenges common protocols of environmental review, along with the Western frameworks of scientific classification and property embedded in them. The project makes visible the impact of surveillance when considered through Indigenous sovereignty and an O’odham epistemology of land. It offers a visual language that is sensitive to secrecy protocols within Traditional Knowledge and that challenges the colonial biases of Western cartography.

The book situates current surveillance infrastructure projects on the Tohono O’odham Nation within a longer history of settler colonialism and border militarization, and reflects on the role of environmental review within the politics of protection in Indigenous lands.

Posted on September 7, 2026 by Shé:kon

Mohawk Nation News


MNN. SEP. 7, 2026. U.S. SENATE BILL 3475 IS A PIECE OF LEGISLATION INTRODUCED IN THE 119TH CONGRESS TO AUTHORIZE, RATIFY, AND CONFIRM THE AGREEMENT OF SETTLEMENT AND COMPROMISE RATIFYING THE AKWESASNE MOHAWK LAND CLAIM IN NORTHERN NEW YORK STATE.



Press Release Statement Opposing S.3475 Published July 28, 2026 Modified July 28, 2026

We are here today in the spirit of the Two Row Wampum, a concept that predates European settlement on this continent, but is the first treaty made by our ancestors with yours. We are not to interfere with one another’s affairs. Therefore our presence with you today is not to interfere with your affairs, it is to ensure that Bill S.3475 does not interfere with ours. We are here on behalf of Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk / Haudenosaunee Governance and Our Future Generations due to our responsibility for the land. Honourable Senators, representatives, officials, relatives, and all those gathered here today: We come before you with respect, humility, and a heavy responsibility; not as your constituents – as Kanien’kehá:ka-Mohawk Nation title holders of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We are here today to oppose the proposed Land Claim Settlement Agreement that would have adverse effects on our Indigenous system of governance, which predates the formation of both the U.S. and Canada. We speak today for the land, the water, the people, the women, the children, for the families, the hereditary leaders, the clans, the ancestors, and for the generations not yet born. We ask you to listen not only with your legal minds, but with your conscience. Because the matter before you is not only a bill before your legislature, this settlement would have long-reaching detrimental impacts.

An Epstein survivor describes the child sex trafficking of U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Tucson, where she was a victim. She said detainees are being tortured to death during "trafficking tourism." At the same time, Tucson Border Patrol agents, heavily armed, are preventing Tohono O'odham tribal police from entering their own land to issue citations to border wall contractors. Meanwhile, the media has ignored a cartel witness from Sinaloa, Mexico, who described the trafficking of young girls in the Epstein files.

TUCSON -- It is one of the best kept secrets in the Epstein files.
Only one newspaper, in Mexico, reported it.

An FBI protected witness called TS-47, a former cartel operative in Sinaloa, Mexico, said the cartel provided Epstein with girls, 14 to 16 years old, who were trafficked through Laredo, Texas. The cartel operative said he provided girls to Epstein in the U.S. and Caribbean. The arrangements for the girls for "marketing parties" for investors were made at a New Jersey golf course. The current president of the U.S. is implicated, Excelsior reports.

This week, an Epstein survivor described how U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Tucson were sex trafficking children as young as 9 years old.

"I am a survivor of presidential-level political blackmail and sexual espionage, blackmail trafficking," Heather said during a series of videos.

Lawsuit Challenges Arizona Copper Mine Exploration Threatening Mexican Spotted Owls

MAMMOTH, Ariz.— The Center for Biological Diversity, the San Carlos Apache Tribe and the Lower San Pedro Watershed Alliance sued the Trump administration today for approving exploratory drilling for a copper mine that threatens Mexican spotted owls and other imperiled wildlife near Arizona’s iconic San Pedro River.

“Federal officials knew that Mexican spotted owls were in the project area and still approved more than 1,300 acres of industrial drilling on our public lands,” said Russ McSpadden, Southwest conservation advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity.

OAK FLAT: Copper Mine will Guzzle Water and Dump Massive Toxic Waste

By Center for Biological Diversity, Censored News, August 25, 2026

After years of opposition from a diverse coalition — including Indigenous Tribes and the Center for Biological Diversity — the Trump administration finalized the transfer of 2,422 acres of public lands in Arizona’s Tonto National Forest to a foreign mining giant. These lands include Oak Flat, an Apache sacred site threatened by the company’s plan to build one of the biggest underground copper mines in North America.

To do that it needs to acquire 8,200 acres of Arizona state trust land, an area known as Skunk Camp, to build a facility where it can dump more than a billion tons of toxic mining waste.

QUITOBAQUITO SPRINGS, Arizona -- The ancestral land of O'odham is being stripped bare near Sacred Quitobaquito Springs, home to pupfish, snails and turtles found nowhere else in the world, except here in the fragile Sonoran Desert. 

Quitobaquito Springs is a place of prayer and ceremony for O'odham. The federal government is destroying this land for a second border wall, that is being protested here on the Arizona border, and from California to Texas.

The roads are closed, but Russ McSpadden hiked into the area Monday and found the destruction underway at Organ Pipe National Monument.

The investigation centers on whether Energy Fuels executives received privileged information about Trump’s planned slashing of Bears Ears National Monument before the news became public, and if they used that information to purchase stock in their own business. The company said in a statement provided to KNAU that it "strongly rejects any suggestion that the Company or its executives engaged in any improper conduct.”

Many news reporters are using out-dated photos of the Tohono O'odham Nation that are not related to the current 'No Trespassing' warnings to border wall contractors.

In fact, tribal police threatened supporters with arrest if they traveled to the border protest through tribal lands in the United States.

Ophelia Rivas, Tohono O'odham, said today that the photos of the border protest by O'odham in Mexico were taken nine years ago. The media's use now is misleading and shows disrespect for O'odham Elders.

Christine Prat, Friend and Translator, Passes to Spirit World

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 9, 2026 Updated

It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news of the passing of Christine Prat, our friend and translator. Christine translated Censored News into French. We met through our mutual friend Klee Benally, more than a decade ago. She translated Klee's book, No Spiritual Surrender, into French, and struggled till the end with cancer to translate our stories and share them with the world.

Christine never compromised, supported Palestine and the fight against Elbit's Israeli spy towers on the Tohono O'odham Nation.

After the U.S. denied her a visa to enter the United States in later years, she never backed down, and continued her work in France. She began the translations with the Hopi Nation's struggle to protect sacred San Francisco Peaks 14 years ago.

Christine's translations were among the most censored at Censored News, including the water rights struggle of Yaqui in Sonora. Many were assassinated after blocking the highway in defense of the water.

In French and English, her stories were read around the world, stories with the voices from Big Mountain, Standing Rock, Oak Flat, Tohono O'odham, Hopi, Peehee Mu'hah, and the desert borderlands. She wrote of Angela Davis in Paris, the struggle for Peltier's release, and the Native women's delegations to the United Nations in Geneva and those who testified in Jamaica.

We remember her courage, her boldness, and send our condolences to her husband Theo and their family.

Christine struggled until the end. This is the last message I received from her in April. as she was dying of cancer.

"Sorry for not answering and doing nothing, I am very ill and it is difficult to do anything. However, I do want to go on. At the moment, I am collecting articles about lithium mines projects. We are threatened in France, as well as many other countries. As I have translated quite a lot of articles about PeeHee Mu'hu, I would like to translate or write more articles about lithium mines, all in two languages, trying to make a link between all victims of mining. Unfortunately, I don't know Spanish, as there are also lithium mines projects in South America.
Electric cars, lithium, cobalt, AI, etc., we got a general attack on the world.
Hope I'll manage to at least start something before I pass to the other world."'

In memory, carry on.
