11 MAY 26 SITREP

• Cole Allen, 31, pleaded not guilty in federal court today to the attempted assassination of President Trump after he rushed past a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton on April 25 and opened fire outside the ballroom where President Trump, Cabinet members, and hundreds of members of the press were gathered for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
• Allen traveled from his home in California across the country by rail to Washington, D.C. with the express purpose of carrying out the assassination attempt, and the Department of Justice under Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche charged him with multiple counts including assault on law enforcement, transporting a firearm across state lines to commit a felony, and discharging a weapon during a crime of violence, with Allen facing life in prison if convicted.
• Allen, a CalTech graduate who worked as a tutor, sent an anti-Trump manifesto to family members approximately ten minutes before the attack, outlining his targets as administration officials prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest, stating he planned to use buckshot rather than slugs to minimize casualties, and identifying Secret Service agents as targets only if necessary with a preference for non-lethal incapacitation.
• Allen allegedly shot a Secret Service agent in the chest during the attack, but the bullet was stopped by a bulletproof vest, and Allen’s defense attorneys have argued that both Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro should be recused from the case because both were in attendance at the dinner and could be considered potential witnesses with a conflict of interest.

• The MV Hondius, an older cruise ship, departed from South America on April 1st carrying rodents infected with hantavirus, and the virus spread through dried excrement and urine that was recirculated through the ship’s ventilation system into passenger cabins.
• The first passenger death occurred on April 11th, followed by the death of his wife and a third passenger, bringing the total to three deaths, while an American evacuee has since tested positive at a biosecurity center in the United States and another evacuee tested positive in France.
• The WHO boarded the ship and locked passengers in their cabins rather than evacuating them immediately, a decision that increased exposure to the contaminated air, and WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus characterized the situation as a new test of the organization’s global powers.
• After the ship finally docked at Tenerife in the Canary Islands, passengers were put in hazmat suits and hosed down in what amounted to a theatrical display, and evacuated Americans were then flown on government planes to a biosecurity decontamination center in Omaha, Nebraska, despite hantavirus not spreading from person to person.

• The Chinese Communist Party targets Christians, Falun Gong practitioners, Tibetan Buddhists, and Uyghur Muslims, spending billions of dollars annually and deploying the most sophisticated surveillance technology known to mankind to create digital prisons in Xinjiang and other regions across China.
• Politburo member Chen Quanguo piloted the police state buildout, first in Tibet and then in Xinjiang, where the CCP established concentration camps, installed cameras every 50 yards, collected blood and hair samples from the population, and required citizens to keep tracking devices activated on their cell phones.
• The CCP now uses facial recognition software deployed during COVID to identify attendees of underground churches without needing passports or identification, and a system called Police Cloud allows authorities to activate personal phones and instantly track any citizen connected to a cell tower or network.
• Ambassador Sam Brownback, in his book China’s War on Faith, called for conditionally linking U.S. market access to progress on religious freedom, human rights, and an end to forced organ harvesting, as well as a total ban on CCP lobbying in the United States, arguing that China is on track to become one of the largest Christian nations in the world entirely through underground growth.
