FBI Now Says Past Prostitution And Theft May Not Disqualify Applicants

The FBI has reportedly loosened some of its automatic disqualifiers for prospective employees, allowing applicants with certain past conduct to be considered on a case-by-case basis, according to The Times Of India.

Under the revised standards, previously hiring a sex worker is no longer necessarily disqualifying. Applicants may still be eligible if it happened fewer than three times and the most recent incident was more than 10 years ago.

The change partly accounts for cases in which prostitution was legal where it occurred. However, soliciting prostitution while holding certain positions of trust, including jobs in law enforcement, education, health care, finance or law, can still result in automatic rejection.

The Times of India article says that past theft from an employer may also be overlooked if it occurred more than three years ago.

The FBI has also reportedly changed how it treats incidents involving bestiality or animal cruelty, allowing consideration when the conduct occurred before the applicant turned 18.

The bureau pushed back on suggestions that it is lowering its overall standards or opening the door to applicants with histories of criminal sexual behavior. An FBI spokesperson said the changes partly address applicants who suffered sexual abuse and whose experiences could complicate polygraph questions involving prostitution, bestiality or similar subjects through no fault of their own.

The FBI maintains that it continues to impose some of the federal government’s strictest suitability requirements.

How To Engineer A Food Crisis

Via UNSHADOWED Substack,

The UK paid farmers to stop producing, and now blames a food crisis on the weather...

The UK seems to be in a world of hurt.

The media has been abuzz about the need to stock canned goods due to "food shortages," blaming global warming and hostile nations:

- Guardian, August 25, 2026

Remarkably, these were exactly the causes blamed in many tabletop exercises, including Food Chain Reaction Game 2015 - keynoted by none other than John Podesta - which, unsurprisingly, demanded "better global governance."

But the genesis of this "new" food crisis, being used to justify an acceleration of gene-edited crops and other unpopular measures advancing the technocratic takeover of food, lies not in Russian aggression or CO2, but in bad policies and economic warfare against farmers for generations.

The Food Crisis is Coming from Inside the House

Though several novels could be dedicated to the systematic strangulation of British agriculture, I will highlight only a select few to paint the rough picture:

Inheritance Tax

While the UK's general inheritance tax (IHT) sits at 40%, farms historically have been shielded from this by an "Agricultural Property Relief" policy. Family farms were handed down from one generation to the next, as has been done by humans since the dawn of time.

That ended on April 6, 2026.

IHT relief for agricultural property was capped this year to £2.5 million - which really doesn't go far considering the value of farmland and requisite equipment. Everything thereafter is subject to an effective IHT of 20% on farm land and assets that are already running on a very thin margin. This is how a cash-poor, asset-rich farm gets sold to pay the tax bill.

This is staggeringly bad policy, forcing experienced farmers off their land. It is also, in my view, wholly immoral - but we'll set that aside.

Unplugging the Life Support

The UK has cut off financial support from farms. Britain once paid farmers to grow food. The EU turned that into a land cheque called the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS). After Brexit, this subsidy to producers (now called 'delinked payments') was set to expire gradually over time, shifting instead to a "Sustainable Farming Incentive."

While the BPS began at £180-£230/ha, resulting in an average payment of £28,400/year, the delinked payments are this year (2026) capped at £600. Yet the SFI "replacing" it was shut down in 2025 when its budget was exhausted. Thousands of producers were left out to dry:

"We'd spent months putting the application together, we'd paid over £1,000 in agent's fees, we were just doing the final checks. Then the government shut the applications down, without any warning.

"For us it is tens of thousands of pounds of lost income. We now have a massive black hole in our budget for this year," added Mrs Godwin.

- BBC, March 27, 2025

These payments to farmers to ensure food security, which began post-WW2 and upon which farmers became dependent, have been unceremoniously eroded. This, alone, has been a disaster for British producers, pushing many into a cash flow crisis.

Shutting Down Farms

Now that the farms were unprofitable, the UK went further, actively incentivizing some producers to stop farming their land and shed their livestock. This was achieved through a new Land Use plan which even the Guardian was forced to summarize as "taking farms out of food production:"

- The Guardian, July 3, 2025

The January 2025 blueprint set specific goals: more than 10% of England's farmland should stop producing food by 2050, with grassland for livestock taking the largest cut. Farms were incentivized to transition to hosting agritourism activities like glamping (glamour camping) or, worse yet, solar farms.

Right about now you might be shaking your head, "They set a goal of stopping farms from growing food?" Yes. Yes, they did.

The Knepp Castle Estate is one such example. Their homepage tells the story quite clearly. Where once winter wheat, barley, oats, maize were grown, and 600 dairy cows and sheep were raised, now one finds yurts available for rental:

Food security explicitly took a backseat to the 30x30 plan, as adopted at COP15, and the idea that land should be released back to nature and "rewilded."

But ... Putin's Carbon Footprint!

Now, with yields indeed at historic lows, we see the headlines blaming Russia and climate change. We hear the National Farmers' Union president Tom Bradshaw saying it "does feel like there is going to be some shortages," and, in the same breath, that many producers may not have the cash to plant next year.

And yet, somehow, this entirely relevant backstory is lost, eclipsed by the administration's rush to adopt gene-edited food and drone-surveilled precision agriculture.

They did not need to ban traditional farming. They simply made the farm economically unviable, paid producers to do anything other than produce, and are now calling the missing food a "climate emergency."

While the British have been quite explicit about the process, fundamentally their actions have been unexceptional:

• In the Netherlands, nitrogen rules and buyout schemes have already taken hundreds of livestock farms out
• In Germany, too, farmers associations are warning producers may not have the cash to plant the next crop [full report here]

Don't let them call this climate change. This food crisis was engineered through policy, and is now being marketed as weather.

And that is all the more reason we should be growing more food and redoubling efforts at creating lasting food security for our families and communities.

Mainstream Media Runs Spin Campaign As Deportations To Haiti Increase

When the Trump Administration ended Temporary Protection Status for migrants from 11 different countries, the mainstream media's attention immediately gravitated to only one:  Haiti.  

It was the numerous problems surrounding the NGO and Biden organized surge of 15,000+ Haitian migrants into Springfield, OH that captured the interest of the American public during the election campaign of 2024.  The mass migrant shift, representing nearly 30% of Springfield's total population, looked like a calculated foreign invasion, not the random immigration of desperate refugees. 

Evidence of extensive cash flows to migrants also raised eyebrows (along with local accusations of disappearing pets).  The entire situation was odd.  Everything about immigration under Joe Biden and the Democrats resembled a strategic operation rather than an act of benevolence to save needy foreigners. 

Haitian migrants, for some reason, remain one of the most aggressively contested groups for the political left when it comes to deportations.  And, now that protection status has been removed, the sob stories from progressive outlets are ample.  The problem is, most of these news stories rely on false claims or the omission of important details.  Their only goal is to inspire outrage. 

Recently the Miami Herald took on the subject of deportations to Haiti, painting a rather grim picture of children and innocent long time residents of the US being hijacked and dumped in a strange, dangerous and unfamiliar land. 

The Herald title reads:  "ICE sends second deportation flight to Haiti in a week. There are kids aboard"

It seems to suggest that little children are being thrown on planes and kicked to the curb in Haiti.  Of course, the paper admits later in the article that these children were accompanied by their families.  In other words, families were deported, not "children". 

This is a tactic commonly used by the leftist media over the past two years.  Stories of children being "kidnapped by ICE" have been circulated numerous times.  And, in every case it turned out that a parent or parents in the US illegally were apprehended and the children were taken to be reunited with them (or deported with them).  As it should be.

The Herald strategically maneuvers to manipulate public empathy:

"The youngest person aboard the ICE Air flight was a 3-year-old born in the U.S., according to information shared with the Miami Herald after the passenger arrived. The deported parents of the children condemned the move, telling the Herald that they found it “scandalous” that children born in the U.S. were being sent to Haiti. They also condemned the Haitian government for agreeing to take them back when the government is not prepared to accept returnees.

One of the children, a little boy, played with a toy as his parents reluctantly spoke..." 

Why is it supposed to be sad when foreigners overstaying their welcome in the US have to go home?  It's hard to say, but the establishment media acts as if the implications are apparent.  Kids staying with their parents is a good thing, right?  Anchor babies aside, these children don't belong in the US either. 

The story that got a rebuttal from ICE, however, was the deportation of a professional boxer living in Florida by the name of Jay Dabelus.  Dabelus was born in the Bahamas and his parents held Haitian nationality.  He lived in the US for 20 years, and 16 of those years were spent under TPS guidelines. 

Why in all that time did he never try to get a green card?  It's hard to say, but this is a common story among illegals living in the US for long periods - most of them got comfortable and just didn't bother.  The Herald describes Dabelus' situation as if he has no ties to Haiti:

“I don’t know anything about Haiti,” he said, speaking in English. “I was born in The Bahamas and had been living in the USA for twenty-something years.” 

“I don’t have any resources, family members or people to aid me, so I am just trying to see how I can go,” he said. “I got my high school diploma. Everything that I have and have received in life is from Florida, from the United States.” 

The story, which was also apparently picked up by the Associated Press, caught the attention of DHS.  ICE had some important details to add.  Dabelus has a Haitian citizenship and a Haitian passport.  In other words, the guy belongs in Haiti.  Who cares if he's a boxer?  

Yes. ICE removed Jay Dabelus to Haiti. What the Associated Press conveniently left out of this gotcha piece is that he has dual citizenship in Bahamas AND Haiti.

The mainstream media has been consistently running interference for illegal aliens for years, turning non-stories into supposed tragedies whenever a migrant is sent back home.  The headlines should simply read:  More migrants sent back to where they are supposed to be.  Instead, the public is flooded with tales of despair and injustice at the very notion that some people don't belong in the US.  

The narrative is growing tiresome.
