READ INDICTMENT HERE… Assigned to Obama Judge
Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton was indicted by a grand jury in Maryland on Thursday.
- Counts 1–8: Transmission of National Defense Information
- Counts 9–18: Retention of National Defense Information

If convicted, Bolton is facing decades in prison, which would be a life sentence for him because he is 76 years old.
Bolton was indicted on 18 counts under the Espionage Act.
John Bolton transmitted classified emails over a private server system and they were intercepted by Iran, according to the indictment.
According to the 26-page indictment, Bolton shared the classified documents with two unnamed relatives. While the indictment did not name the relatives, a previous leak to The New York Post revealed that Bolton shared the documents with his wife and daughter.
“From on or about April 9, 2018, through at least on or about August 22, 2025, BOLTON abused his position as National Security Advisor by sharing more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities as the National Security Advisor-including information relating to the national defense which was classified up to the TOP SECRET/SCI level-with two unauthorized individuals, namely Individuals 1 and 2,” the indictment read.
BOLTON also unlawfully retained documents, writings, and notes relating to the national defense, including information classified up to the TOP SECRET/SCI level, in his home in Montgomery County, Maryland,” prosecutors said according to the indictment reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
New John Bolton documents with classified markings were released after the FBI raided his home in August.
The FBI raided John Bolton’s home over the summer.
FBI agents were sent to Bolton’s home because he allegedly sent “highly sensitive” classified materials to family members from a private, unsecured email server while he was working at the White House during the first Trump Administration.
“Investigators reopened a dormant probe into Bolton’s alleged use of a private email to send classified national security documents to his wife and daughter from his work desk before his dismissal by Trump in September 2019, according to a senior US official,” The New York Post reported last week.
The investigation into John Bolton began in 2020 when he used classified information to write his book titled, “The Room Where It Happened.”
Last month, new documents released revealed that John Bolton stored classified information about WMDs and the United Nations.
“Categories of potentially classified records that the FBI reported finding at Bolton’s office included: travel memo documents with a “secret” label; confidential documents from the U.S. mission to the U.N.; confidential documents related to strategic communications; and classified documents related to weapons of mass destruction,” Politico reported.
FBI Director Kash Patel said anyone who threatens national security will be held accountable.

70% of people who have a near-death experience make this change — even more than getting a divorce
They were at death’s door and opened a window to a whole new world.
About 15% of severely ill patients report enduring a near-death experience (NDE), which may mean having an overwhelming out-of-body sensation, an encounter with a dead loved one, a vision of a bright light, a rapid review of their life’s milestones or a profound sense of peace.
To figure out how people deal with NDEs, researchers at the University of Virginia surveyed 167 individuals who said they had one.
One major coping mechanism stood out among the rest — almost 70% of participants reported a shift in their religious or spiritual beliefs and their fears of death in the aftermath of their NDE.
“My NDE was considerable,” one participant wrote in the questionnaire. “I know I’ll never be the same person ever, so ongoing reflection and inner work are needed daily.”
Others used the occurrence to re-evaluate their personal relationships, with over 20% reporting divorces or break-ups and even more weathering relationship challenges or breakdowns.
And isolation and loneliness were recurring themes among NDE sufferers.
One survey participant called their NDE a “double-edged sword” — it was an incredibly transformative experience that they kept to themselves for fear of being judged.
The researchers said 64% of participants reached out to mental health professionals, spiritual advisers or online communities, with 78% finding the support helpful.
The more intense the NDE, the more likely the patient would be to seek help.
The problem is that many had trouble finding suitable support — one church told a participant, “We don’t do that here” — and difficulty discussing their experience when they did obtain help.
“After a few attempts, I honestly didn’t feel anyone was deep enough to handle it … all the responses were textbook and uninspired; very disappointing,” one participant wrote.
Another noted: “My experience felt that those around me didn’t understand the magnitude of what I went through, so I didn’t think others would care either.”
The findings were published in the journal Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research, and Practice.
The UVA researchers hope their work can pave the way for better care for NDE sufferers.
What do you think? Post a comment.
“The research on how to support these patients and their specific needs is still limited,” said Marieta Pehlivanova of UVA Health’s Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences.
“We hope to begin addressing this gap and to inspire other researchers, especially clinicians, to devote time and care in pursuing these questions.”

Whether you read institutional commentary from the desks at Goldman, UBS, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, or others, all indications are that the growing power demand from AI chips in server racks has rendered air cooling obsolete, with liquid cooling now the premier choice. But the broader concern is that soaring power loads from data centers are straining already fragile grids, tightening supply, driving up electricity prices, and raising the risk of blackouts.
With nuclear power restarts and new buildouts years away. We pointed out on Thursday night, “Each 1GW of AI computing capacity costs $50bn to deploy in today’s prices, according to OpenAI execs. By 2028, Morgan Stanley projects at least 65 GW of new data center demand. Do the math…”
We were referring to our previous X post about power blackout risks due to the surging new power demand from AI data centers and those that will be brought online in the near-term, colliding with a fragile grid with limited spare capacity.
“There is no way the current US grid can support this,” we mentioned on X, commenting on our report for ZeroHedge Pro Subs, titled “Behind The $500 Billion Data Center Boom: Here’s Who Makes All The Key Components.”
Last night, Elon Musk commented on our data center power X post, explaining how large-scale industrial batteries, such as the one Tesla offers, can be a winning solution to stabilize the grid.
“Batteries. US grid is capable of 1TW steady state, but average usage is ~0.5TW. Run the power plants at night to charge up the packs and then discharge packs during the day to power AI,” Musk said, adding, “That would double US electrical energy output per year.”
With nuclear power still years away, and with Goldman already warning of “price spikes and power blackouts“, the federal government or power grid operators must figure out a cost-effective, scalable energy solution to ensure power prices don’t continue spiraling out of control and proper grid stabilization occurs to ensure grid stability amid the AI arms race with China. Also, Goldman labeled the “vulnerable link” at the center of energy security as power grids.
