Julian Assange’s full testimony to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in Strasbourg today:

“Mr. Chairman, esteemed members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, ladies and gentlemen.

The transition from years of confinement in a maximum-security prison to standing here before the representatives of 46 nations and 700 million people is a profound and surreal shift.

The experience of isolation for years in a small cell is difficult to convey; it strips away one’s sense of self, leaving only the raw essence of existence.

I am not yet fully equipped to speak about what I have endured – the relentless struggle to stay alive, both physically and mentally, nor can i speak yet about the deaths by hanging, murder, and medical neglect of my fellow prisoners.

I apologise in advance if my words falter or if my presentation lacks the polish you might expect in such a distinguished forum.

Isolation has taken its toll, which I am trying to unwind, and expressing myself in this setting is a challenge.

However, the gravity of this occasion and the weight of the issues at hand compel me to set aside my reservations and speak to you directly.

I have traveled a long way, literally and figuratively, to be before you today.

Before our discussion or answering any questions you might have, I wish to thank PACE for its 2020 resolution (2317), which stated that my imprisonment set a dangerous precedent for journalists and noted that the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture called for my release.

I’m also grateful for PACE’s 2021 statement expressing concern over credible reports that US officials discussed my assassination, again calling for my prompt release.

And I commend the Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee for commissioning a renowned rapporteur, Sunna Ævarsdóttir, to investigate the circumstances surrounding my detention and conviction and the consequent implications for human rights.

However, like so many of the efforts made in my case – whether they were from parliamentarians, presidents, prime ministers, the Pope, UN officials and diplomats, unions, legal and medical professionals, academics, activists, or citizens – none of them should have been necessary.

None of the statements, resolutions, reports, films, articles, events, fundraisers, protests, and letters over the last 14 years should have been necessary.

But all of them were necessary because without them I never would have seen the light of day.

This unprecedented global effort was needed because of the legal protections that did exist, many existed only on paper or were not effective in any remotely reasonable time frame.

I eventually chose freedom over unrealisable justice, after being detained for years and facing a 175 year sentence with no effective remedy. Justice for me is now precluded, as the US government insisted in writing into its plea agreement that I cannot file a case at the European Court of Human Rights or even a freedom of information act request over what it did to me as a result of its extradition request.

I want to be totally clear. I am not free today because the system worked. I am free today because after years of incarceration because I plead guilty to journalism. I plead guilty to seeking information from a source. I plead guilty to obtaining information from a source. And I plead guilty to informing the public what that information was. I did not plead guilty to anything else. I hope my testimony today can serve to highlight the weaknesses of the existing safeguards and to help those whose cases are less visible but who are equally vulnerable.

As I emerge from the dungeon of Belmarsh, the truth now seems less discernible, and I regret how much ground has been lost during that time period when expressing the truth has been undermined, attacked, weakened, and diminished.

I see more impunity, more secrecy, more retaliation for telling the truth and more self censorship. It is hard not to draw a line from the US government’s prosecution of me – its crossing the rubicon by internationally criminalising journalism – to the chilled climate for freedom of expression now.

When I founded WikiLeaks, it was driven by a simple dream: to educate people about how the world works so that, through understanding, we might bring about something better.

Having a map of where we are lets us understand where we might go.

Knowledge empowers us to hold power to account and to demand justice where there is none.

We obtained and published truths about tens of thousands of hidden casualties of war and other unseen horrors, about programs of assassination, rendition, torture, and mass surveillance.

We revealed not just when and where these things happened but frequently the policies, the agreements, and structures behind them.

When we published Collateral Murder, the infamous gun camera footage of a US Apache helicopter crew eagerly blowing to pieces Iraqi journalists and their rescuers, the visual reality of modern warfare shocked the world.

But we also used interest in this video to direct people to the classified policies for when the US military could deploy lethal force in Iraq and how many civilians could be killed before gaining higher approval.

In fact, 40 years of my potential 175-year sentence was for obtaining and releasing these policies.

The practical political vision I was left with after being immersed in the world’s dirty wars and secret operations is simple: Let us stop gagging, torturing, and killing each other for a change. Get these fundamentals right and other political, economic, and scientific processes will have space to take care of the rest.

WikiLeaks’ work was deeply rooted in the principles that this Assembly stands for.

Journalism that elevated freedom of information and the public’s right to know found its natural operational home in Europe.

I lived in Paris and we had formal corporate registrations in France and in Iceland. Our journalistic and technical staff were spread throughout Europe.

We published to the world from servers in based in France, Germany, and Norway.

But 14 years ago the United States military arrested one of our alleged whistleblowers, PFC Manning, a US intelligence analyst based in Iraq.

The US government concurrently launched an investigation against me and my colleagues.

The US government illicitly sent planes of agents to Iceland, paid bribes to an informer to steal our legal and journalistic work product, and without formal process pressured banks and financial services to block our subscriptions and freeze our accounts.

The UK government took part in some of this retribution. It admitted at the European Court of Human Rights that it had unlawfully spied on my UK lawyers during this time.

Ultimately this harassment was legally groundless. President Obama’s Justice Department chose not to indict me, recognizing that no crime had been committed.

The United States had never before prosecuted a publisher for publishing or obtaining government information.

To do so would require a radical and ominous reinterpretation of the US Constitution.

In January 2017, Obama also commuted the sentence of Manning, who had been convicted of being one of my sources.

However, in February 2017, the landscape changed dramatically.

President Trump had been elected. He appointed two wolves in MAGA hats: Mike Pompeo, a Kansas congressman and former arms industry executive, as CIA Director, and William Barr, a former CIA officer, as US Attorney General.

By March 2017, WikiLeaks had exposed the CIA’s infiltration of French political parties, its spying on French and German leaders, its spying on the European Central Bank, European economics ministries, and its standing orders to spy on French industry as a whole.

We revealed the CIA’s vast production of malware and viruses, its subversion of supply chains, its subversion of antivirus software, cars, smart TVs and iPhones.

CIA Director Pompeo launched a campaign of retribution.

It is now a matter of public record that under Pompeo’s explicit direction, the CIA drew up plans to kidnap and to assassinate me within the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and authorized going after my European colleagues, subjecting us to theft, hacking attacks, and the planting of false information.

My wife and my infant son were also targeted. A CIA asset was permanently assigned to track my wife and instructions were given to obtain DNA from my six month old son’s nappy.

This is the testimony of more than 30 current and former US intelligence officials speaking to the US press, which has been additionally corroborated by records seized in a prosecution brought against some of the CIA agents involved.

The CIA’s targeting of myself, my family and my associates through aggressive extrajudicial and extraterritorial means provides a rare insight into how powerful intelligence organisations engage in transnational repression. Such repressions are not unique. What is unique is that we know so much about this one due to numerous whistleblowers and to judicial investigations in Spain.

This Assembly is no stranger to extraterritorial abuses by the CIA.

PACE’s groundbreaking report on CIA renditions in Europe exposed how the CIA operated secret detention centres and conducted unlawful renditions on European soil, violating human rights and international law.

In February this year, the alleged source of some of our CIA revelations, former CIA officer Joshua Schulte, was sentenced to forty years in prison under conditions of extreme isolation.

His windows are blacked out, and a white noise machine plays 24 hours a day over his door so that he cannot even shout through it.

These conditions are more severe than those found in Guantanamo Bay.

Transnational repression is also conducted by abusing legal processes.

The lack of effective safeguards against this means that Europe is vulnerable to having its mutual legal assistance and extradition treaties hijacked by foreign powers to go after dissenting voices in Europe.

In Mike Pompeo’s memoirs, which I read in my prison cell, the former CIA Director bragged about how he pressured the US Attorney General to bring an extradition case against me in response to our publications about the CIA.

Indeed, acceding to Pompeo’s efforts, the US Attorney General reopened the investigation against me that Obama had closed and re-arrested Manning, this time as a witness.

Manning was held in prison for over a year and fined a thousand dollars a day in a formal attempt to coerce her into providing secret testimony against me.

She ended up attempting to take her own life.

We usually think of attempts to force journalists to testify against their sources.

But Manning was now a source being forced to testify against their journalist.

By December 2017, CIA Director Pompeo had got his way, and the US government issued a warrant to the UK for my extradition.

The UK government kept the warrant secret from the public for two more years, while it, the US government, and the new president of Ecuador moved to shape the political, legal, and diplomatic ground for my arrest.

When powerful nations feel entitled to target individuals beyond their borders, those individuals do not stand a chance unless there are strong safeguards in place and a state willing to enforce them. Without them no individual has a hope of defending themselves against the vast resources that a state aggressor can deploy.

If the situation were not already bad enough in my case, the US government asserted a dangerous new global legal position. Only US citizens have free speech rights. Europeans and other nationalities do not have free speech rights. But the US claims its Espionage Act still applies to them regardless of where they are. So Europeans in Europe must obey US secrecy law with no defences at all as far as the US government is concerned. An American in Paris can talk about what the US government is up to – perhaps. But for a Frenchman in Paris, to do so is a crime without any defence and he may be extradited just like me.

Now that one foreign government has formally asserted that Europeans have no free speech rights, a dangerous precedent has been set.

Other powerful states will inevitably follow suit.

The war in Ukraine has already seen the criminalisation of journalists in Russia, but based on the precedent set in my extradition, there is nothing to stop Russia, or indeed any other state, from targeting European journalists, publishers, or even social media users, by claiming that their secrecy laws have been violated.

The rights of journalists and publishers within the European space are seriously threatened.

Transnational repression cannot become the norm here.

As one of the world’s two great norm-setting institutions, PACE must act.

The criminalisation of newsgathering activities is a threat to investigative journalism everywhere.

I was formally convicted, by a foreign power, for asking for, receiving, and publishing truthful information about that power while I was in Europe.

The fundamental issue is simple: Journalists should not be prosecuted for doing their jobs.

Journalism is not a crime; it is a pillar of a free and informed society.

Mr Chairman, distinguished delegates, if Europe is to have a future where the freedom to speak and the freedom to publish the truth are not privileges enjoyed by a few but rights guaranteed to all then it must act so that what has happened in my case never happens to anyone else.

I wish to express my deepest gratitude to this assembly, to the conservatives, social democrats, liberals, leftists, greens, and independents – who have supported me throughout this ordeal and to the countless individuals who have advocated tirelessly for my release.

It is heartening to know that in a world often divided by ideology and interests, there remains a shared commitment to the protection of essential human liberties.

Freedom of expression and all that flows from it is at a dark crossroad. I fear that unless norm setting institutions like PACE wake up to the gravity of the situation it will be too late.

Let us all commit to doing our part to ensure that the light of freedom never dims, that the pursuit of truth will live on, and that the voices of the many are not silenced by the interests of the few.”

October 1, 2024 – A U.S. Border Patrol agent in Arizona claims “the cartels run the border down here”

Via O’Keefe Media Group:

“The cartels run the border down here,” says Aaron Veckey, a United States Border Patrol agent with 19 years of service, stepping forward to expose the horrific conditions at the U.S.-Mexico border. Inspired by fellow whistleblower Zachary Apotheker, featured in “Line in the Sand,” Veckey brings OMG onsite to his Customs and Border Protection patrol station in Ajo, Arizona, to reveal the disturbing truth.

“Where I first saw it [human rights violations] was here, underneath that canopy there,” Veckey shares. “It was just men, women, and children… They were freezing. It was at least 40 degrees.” He describes another instance of extreme conditions, adding, “You got 50 Muslims, 50 Sikhs, 50 Christians, 50 whatever, and they’re fighting over shade.”

“If they have a thousand bodies for us, as fast as they can bring us bodies, we pick them up as fast and we push them all into this parking lot.” He adds, “They have pushed us around through fear, through browbeating us. They’ve ordered us to do stuff,” highlighting how U.S. Border Patrol agents are often forced between cartel operations and bureaucratic pressure to keep quiet.

Bringing these atrocities to the attention of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC),  Veckey filed reports detailing the violations, only to be met with a cease and desist letter, ordering him to stay silent. Despite being ordered to remain silent, Veckey is sacrificing his future for justice.

October 1, 2024 – List of ‘many powerful people’ allegedly implicated in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs scandal will be exposed, says attorney for victims

Tony Buzbee (Credit: YouTube clipping)

An attorney for more than 100 alleged victims in the heinous accusations engulfing rapper mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs said that a list of “many powerful people” implicated in the crimes will be revealed.

Attorney Tony Buzbee made the comments at a press conference Tuesday from Houston, Texas.

“We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates,” he said.

Combs is accused of various crimes related to allegedly debaucherous parties involving drugs, alcohol, and non-consensual sex. Federal prosecutors charged Combs with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and interstate transportation for prostitution.

“The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names. It’s a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure — damn sure — we are right before we do that,” said Buzbee.

“The names will shock you,” he promised.

The attorney said that those powerful people involved in the parties encouraged the abuse at his parties, which go as far back as 1991 and mostly occurred in California, New York, Georgia, and Florida. He went through some of the horrifying stories of alleged victims that he said were being corroborated for a lawsuit.

Buzbee had advice for some of those alleged accomplices.

“These people who know who they are should just come forward now,” he continued. “I would imagine that as we speak here, there are a myriad of people who are very nervous. You can’t hide skeletons in the closet forever. I would expect there are many people out there right now who are desperately searching their memories as they delete their texts and data.”

Buzbee said that one of the alleged victims was as young as 9 years old at the time of the abuse.

Part of the press conference can be viewed on a video news report from WNYW-TV on YouTube.

Update:

Here are thirteen bombshell revelations from Tuesday’s press conference:

1. Twenty five of the 120 Combs accusers were minors at the time the alleged incidents occurred

“When we talk about the ages of the victims when the conduct occurred, it’s shocking,” Buzbee said. “Twenty five of the 120 individuals who are plaintiffs in these cases were minors at the time of the acts complained of.”

2. The youngest alleged sex abuse victim of Combs was just 9-years-old

“Our youngest victim at the time of the occurrence was 9-years-old,” Buzbee disclosed.

“This individual who was 9-years-old at the time was taken to an audition in New York City with Bad Boy Records,” the attorney explained. “Other boys were there to audition as well, all of them were trying to land a record deal. All of them were minors.”

“This [9-year-old] individual was sexually abused, allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio, in the promise to both his parents and to him himself of getting a record deal,” Buzbee said.

3. Combs allegedly made a minor perform oral sex on him

“Another minor [was] told allegedly by Sean Combs that he would make him a star, but needed a visit with him in private about it, away from his parents,” Buzbee said. “Once they were in a private area, allegedly Mr. Combs made the victim perform oral sex upon him.”

4. Combs’ associates allegedly “took turns” raping a 15-year-old girl

“An individual 15-years-old at the time [was] flown to New York City to attend a party, was drugged, and then taken into a private room — allegedly in the presence of Mr. Combs — where this female individual minor was raped, and then other individuals took turns raping her,” Buzbee said.

5. A pregnant woman was allegedly drugged and raped

“Another incident, an individual — this time, not a minor — attended a group dinner allegedly with Sean Combs in Miami. She wasn’t drinking, because she was pregnant,” Buzbee said.

“But whatever she drank at the table apparently, at least according to her, was laced with something,” the lawyer added. “She blacked out and she woke up in the same bed, again, allegedly with Mr. Combs in his mansion in Miami. Her vagina and her anus were torn and sore.”

6. Most of the alleged victims filed reports with police or hospitals at the time of the incidents

“More than 55 percent of the victims filed reports — reported this conduct to either the authorities, that is the police or to hospitals,” Buzbee said.

“We are in the process of collecting, with our team, assistance, medical records, reports that were made to the authorities, and I’ve already said that some of the individuals did in fact talk to the FBI,” the attorney added.

7. Victims were allegedly oftentimes drugged with horse tranquilizer

Buzbee noted that “many” of the victims who sought medical treatment right after the alleged incidents “were drug tested, and drugs were found in their system — weird drugs, drugs that you probably never heard of.”

“One in particular that continues to pop up is a drug called xylazine or ‘trank,’ which, based on our research, is known as a horse tranquilizer,” Buzbee said.

8. Some of the alleged crimes occurred at the private homes of celebrities

“Some of this behavior occurred at private residences of people that we all know,” Buzbee said, adding that the alleged crimes also transpired at “hotels that we’re all familiar with,” and “at well-known venues in New York City.”

9. More names will be implicated in the lawsuits, some of which will “shock you”

“The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names. It’s a long list already,” Buzbee said.

“I already know who some of these individuals are, but because of the nature of this case, we’re going to make damn sure that we’re right before we do that. But the names that we’re going to name — are names that will shock you,” the attorney added.

“These are individual cases. There are indeed other perpetrators involved. They will be revealed when that particular individual case is ready to be filed. They already know who they are,” Buzbee asserted.

“And I’m talking about not just the cowardly but complicit bystanders — those people that we know watched this behavior occur and did nothing — I’m talking about the people that participated, encouraged it, egged it on. They know who they are,” Buzbee added.

The lawyer went on to say that he imagines “There are a myriad of people who are very nervous” at this point in time.

“I would expect there are many people out there right now who are desperately searching their memories as they delete their texts and data,” Buzbee said.

10. Banks, pharmaceutical companies, and hotels will also be implicated in the lawsuits

“These defendants will not only include individuals, but also include corporate entities who ultimately profited off of this culture and behavior,” Buzbee said. “I’m looking at banks, pharmaceutical companies, hotels.”

“We know that many of these individuals were paid cash,” Buzbee added. ”

We know that many of these individuals involved, whether they were the ones being assaulted and abused or they’re witnessing other people being assaulted and abused, and then paid, and threatened, and told to leave — typically paid ten grand in cash and told to leave.”

11. The alleged crimes span from 1991 to 2024

“The time frame of the acts complained of is very wide. The conduct spans from the years 1991 all the way to this year, 2024,” Buzbee said. “If you wonder why there are so many alleged victims, that’s your answer. We’re talking about more than 25 years of this type of conduct.”

12: The group of alleged victims is “evenly divided” between males and females

“Our law firms have been retained by 120 individuals at this point, to pursue cases in civil court against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs,” Buzbee said.

“You should know, in this group, it is evenly divided between males and females. There are 60 males and 60 females who have joined us to pursue these claims as plaintiffs,” the lawyer added.

13. The lawsuits will be filed as 120 separate cases

“This is not a class action,” Buzbee said. “A class action is when one or two people file a case on behalf of group of people. That’s not this. These cases will be individual cases. Each case will live and die on its own merit.”

“These cases will be filed individually, one plaintiff against whoever the defendants are involved in the case. One case may sue just Sean Combs, but multiple other people. One case may sue a range of people,” the lawyer added.

Both the Buzbee Law Firm and the AVA Law Group will file lawsuits on behalf of the 120 alleged victims, who are taking action against Combs, his associates, and others. Buzbee added that he expects more victims to come forward.

The lawsuits are expected to roll out in the next 30 days.

The disgraced music mogul’s attorney Erica Wolff said in a statement, “Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.”

October 2, 2024 – Heavily redacted DHS IG report: “CBP, ICE, and TSA did not fully assess risks associated w/ releasing noncitizens without ID into the U.S.”

In a new, heavily redacted DHS Inspector General report, the IG finds that “CBP, ICE, and TSA did not fully assess risks associated w/ releasing noncitizens without ID into the U.S. and allowing them to travel on domestic flights.”

Key finding: “Under current processes, CBP and ICE cannot ensure they are keeping high-risk noncitizens without identification from entering the country. Additionally, TSA cannot ensure its vetting and screening procedures prevent high-risk noncitizens who may pose a threat to the flying public from boarding domestic flights.”

More highlights below 👇🏻

The IG says that according to federal law, “noncitizens without ID are not admissible into the country and “shall be detained,” but that CBP and ICE are permitted to release noncitizens into the U.S. based on various circumstances.

The report says CBP and ICE accept “self reported biographical information, which they use to give migrants immigration forms, who are then able to get on domestic flights, even if they don’t have ID.

The IG says he asked DHS for data on the number of noncitizens who did not have ID and were released into the U.S. between fiscal years 2021-2023, but CBP and ICE were unable to provide the data because they don’t log whether a noncitizen had ID in their databases. The OIG adds that “immigration officers we interviewed acknowledged the risks of allowing noncitizens without ID into the country.”

The report finds that the TSA relies on data and background checks on noncitizens from CBP and ICE to determine if someone is a threat, but if that data is incomplete, “TSA’s methods to screen individuals who pose a threat would not necessarily prevent these individuals from boarding flights.”

Additionally, there are heavily redacted portions of the report where TSA conducted assessments on the risks of using the CBP One cell phone app as a screening tool – but the results are not disclosed.

The IG report goes on to say they identified “similar weaknesses” in CBP’s screening processes that allowed “high risk individuals into the country”, including someone who was released while being on the FBI Terror Watchlist in 2022 and two Afghans paroled into the U.S. as part of Operation Allies Welcome who may have posed a threat to national security.

The report concludes: “If CBP and ICE continue to allow noncitizens – whose identities immigration officers cannot confirm – to enter the country, they may inadvertently increase national security risks.”

DHS did NOT concur with the IG’s findings, with both ICE and CBP pushing back.

DHS says they “cannot detain all individuals subject to detention, including inadmissible noncitizens without ID, due to several reasons including a lack of resources (bed space).

ICE said their currently funded detention capacity of 41,500 beds doesn’t allow them to detain every noncitizen who doesn’t have ID and valid documents.

CBP said their detention facilities are for “short term” detention, and they can’t legally hold noncitizens longer than the law allows, even to mitigate potential risks.

TSA said the report doesn’t reflect their current policies.

October 2, 2024 – Why citizen disaster relief teams are turned away by FEMA – They have a “preferred vendors list” that assures kickbacks

Ryan Tyre disaster relief team  (Credit: Ryan Tyre)

If you are wondering why citizens are being turned away that are coming to help NC and TN – you’ll want to hear my experience as someone who has been doing this as a private citizen for almost a decade.

I was able to get into, and out of Asheville. We brought food, water, fuel and other supplies as well as helped people affected by the floods, but there are reasons why they are not allowing outside help.

I cannot confirm the reasons why in NC, but i can tell you the reasons in other storms i have worked – i’ll explain below.

Let me share with you the first disaster area that i finally realized that this was all about money.

In the FL Keys with Hurricane Irma, after Texas got hit with Harvey, we finished our efforts in Texas and were the first citizen team to make it to Key Largo.

The federal agencies had US1 shut down just South of Key Largo and wouldn’t let anyone in or out, even though the road was okay to pass.

We explained to them that we had boats, Jet skis, food, water, chainsaws and fuel to bring these people.

They didn’t care and wouldn’t let us in.

It was night by that point and you rarely saw the lights of vehicles in the distance on the individual keys, meaning the emergency response teams from FEMA weren’t even working, it was all quiet.

We decided that we would go in anyways.

We filled up the boats and jet skis with all that we could reasonably carry and went by water, around all their BS blockades and around their law enforcement presence on the water.

It was 87 miles by water to get to our first stop, Cudjoe Key and Sugarloaf Key.

When we arrived there we were greeted by a homeowner (for privacy, I won’t name him, though we have video) who was elated to see us and all the supplies we brought, his house was in shambles.

We started offloading supplies on the shoreline and helping to get them into what was left of his house.

During that process, he explained to us that FEMA had set up a command center at a local high school on the island, but that they weren’t doing anything to help the residents, not even bringing them WATER!

Instead, he explained that they were driving around using a loudspeaker, telling people to stay in their homes. They weren’t even helping the home owners with supplies.

I was skeptical at first while he was telling me all of this, but then he said something that broke my heart….

He told us that the people of the keys were all in despair, because they had just seen, weeks before, the overwhelming support for Texas with Hurricane Harvey, by the citizens of this country. He, and his neighbors on all of the keys, felt like Americans had forgotten about them completely, because at this point, FIVE DAYS after landfall, all they had seen was FEMA, and they were of NO HELP.

The residents were cut off from the outside world, no cellular, no internet, no way to contact anyone or hear of any efforts to try to help them.

The ONLY communication they had was from a local radio station on Sugarloaf Key, that was broadcasting on AM to the surrounding keys.

The man, after hearing that there were citizens trying to bring them help, but being refused entry by federal law enforcement was visibly upset. He, and his neighbors, really thought the country had abandoned them.

He insisted that we get into his waterlogged truck and that he would take us to that radio station so that we could go live on air, to tell the citizens trapped in the Keys that we, the American people, were there to help and that the government was trying to stop our efforts.

And that is exactly what we did.

After that, we were determined to help as many people as we could, but we were met with red tape throughout the whole process and time we were in the keys.

We finally we[re] able to talk some authorities to let us down to the Faro Blanco Resort in Marathon towards the end of Boot Key. This was the same hotel where state and local authorities were staging their personnel and they were happy to see us.

I was able to coordinate several trucks full of supplies to be brought down to the EOC in Marathon. I was privy to the EOC meeting, BUT was informed in that meeting, that all of the semi trucks full of food, water and hygiene supplies were to be turned around and not allowed to be offloaded for distribution by the EOC.

THE REASON they gave us, was that these donations were not from companies on their “preferred vendors list” and that they would not accept them or give them to the residents of the keys impacted by the storm.

It was at that point that I realized, this is ALL ABOUT MONEY.

These ‘preferred vendors” are getting part of the money being released by the state and federal govt for each disaster. In turn, some of the “vendors” make it on the list because a friend gets them on the list, and in return for getting ridiculously outlandish amounts of compensation for the services they render, they give kickbacks.

So accepting outside donations, even though they are on location and can help people NOW, they would rather let people suffer so they can get their kickbacks.

This meeting solidified my resolve to help these people, regardless of what the greedy officials wanted, we were going to feed the lower keys that were being neglected.

I diverted ALL SEMI TRUCKS to the Faro Blanco Resort in Marathon and filled the entire first floor with pallets upon pallets of food, water and essential supplies and created a food pantry for residents to come and get anything, and however much they needed.

From local state troopers to the homeless, all were given wheel barrels and free reign to get anything they needed.

We also delivered supplies down to Big Pine Key. We helped establish the tent city on Big Pine Key. Big companies like Titos Vodka and Whelen just kept bringing trucks full of everything that was needed. When FEMA FINALLY started handing out boxes of canned goods (limited to one per household), we were filing cars full of food and supplies for people and pets.

There is so much more to the story in the Keys and further from there in other storms we worked- the common theme though, is that the federal government always tries to keep citizens from helping and the local authorities, the ones that live and work in the area are always happy to have outside help.

I call out to Elon Musk and anyone else who can monetarily help people like myself and those that work with me, who have the knowledge and the will to help those devastated by these disasters.

Help us side step the red tape and get the people the relief they need.

We are willing, and we are many, and we are ready.

October 2, 2024 – R&B singer Jaguar Wright claims Jay-Z is just as much of a monster as Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs; refers to Beyoncé as “complicit” and “nasty”

(…) In 2022, Wright publicly accused “Diddy” and claimed to have attended his parties, where she witnessed the events firsthand.

She now claims that there are hundreds of victims ready to come forward with harrowing stories about Jay-Z and Beyoncé, accusing the power couple of maintaining control over people against their will.

Jaguar Wright: You want to know why there’s no vindication for me? Because for four years, I’ve been screaming not just about Diddy, but that Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters, and the victim-making machine kept going on.

Piers Morgan: Jay-Z has been notable by his silence since these charges were brought against Diddy. Why do you think that is?

Jaguar Wright: Because that’s what he does. He starts little fires everywhere and forces everyone involved to carry water while he sneaks away without a response. That changes now. Shawn, you must respond. You have no choice. Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Robert [R.] Kelly, Sean [Diddy] Combs—they all have one person in common, professionally and privately: Shawn Carter [Jay Z] . This has been a fist of tyranny punching through our culture and society for decades. It must stop.

Wright also claimed to have spoken with “hundreds” of victims, stating she currently assists three individuals who are willing to testify against both Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

She alleged that Beyoncé has been complicit in her husband’s actions, engaging in behavior that she described as “nasty.”

Piers Morgan: How many victims potentially do you think there could be?

Jaguar Wright: Thousands… I’ve talked to hundreds who I still help myself. I have three victims right now who are willing to give testimony about not only what Mr. Carter has done to them, but also about his wife. They’re a nasty little couple. They do nasty things.

October 2, 2024 – Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff ‘forcefully slapped ex-girlfriend for flirting with another man’

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s husband assaulted his ex-girlfriend, three friends have told Dailymail.com.

The Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, allegedly struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around, while waiting in a valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France.

One of her friends told DailyMail.com that the woman called him immediately after the incident, sobbing in her cab, and described the alleged assault.

DailyMail.com is not naming the woman, who is a successful New York attorney, but will refer to her by the pseudonym ‘Jane’.

A second friend said Jane, who had been dating Emhoff for three months, also told her about the alleged violence at the time.

A third friend told DailyMail.com that Jane first told her in 2014 that she had dated Emhoff, and recounted the full story of his alleged abuse in 2018, when then senator Harris was in the news after grilling Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in a Senate hearing over sexual assault allegations.

The friends, who all asked not to be named for fear of retaliation by Emhoff, shared with DailyMail.com pictures of him and Jane together from 2012, and other documents and communications corroborating elements of the story. (Read more: The Daily Mail, 10/02/2024)  (Archive)

October 3, 2024 – Transportation Secretary Buttigieg tries to halt private drone flights providing baby formula, insulin, and other aid to hurricane Helene victims

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg ordered private drone flights suspended in North Carolina’s Hurricane Helene flood zone, sparking fierce outcry from those frustrated by the government’s lackluster response to the deadly crisis.

“Drone pilots: Do not fly your drone near or around rescue and recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene,” the official DOT X account wrote Tuesday afternoon, nearly a week after the storm brought near-unprecedented flooding to the mountainous region.

“Interfering with emergency response operations impacts search and rescue operations on the ground,” the announcement continued.

North Carolina has suffered the brunt of the death toll from last week’s historic storm, the west of the state accounting for 94 of the more than 200 casualties confirmed by authorities so far, with hundreds more still unaccounted for.

Despite these grim figures, many have expressed deep dissatisfaction or even anger with the tepid response from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is on the verge of running out of funds after spending $640 million on the migrant crisis.

Considering the maddeningly slow pace of the rescue effort, Buttigieg effectively ordered residents not to fend for themselves and instead put their trust in an agency many believe have already dropped the ball was adding insult to injury.

“You would think more eyes in the sky would be a good thing when there are people that need to be rescued but what do i know,” one X user replied.

“Your ‘help’ is worse than doing nothing,” seethed another.

Others pointed out how private drones have been used to deliver items like insulin and baby formula to those in need, particularly those living in more remote terrain who have been largely cut off from the rest of the world since the storm.

“Private citizen drones and helicopters have been saving lives for days, and still are. You should be ashamed,” said another user. (Read more: New York Post, 10/03/2024)  (Archive)

October 4, 2024 – FEMA fails Helene survivors – Local sheriffs threaten to arrest FEMA workers if they hinder rescue and aid work

Just got off the phone a Pastor in the midst of the flooding in TN/NC. He is in one of the most devastated locations. He verified a few things about the situation:
– Almost all help is being done by private citizens, mainly churches.
– Private helicopters are flying in the vast majority of the supplies.
– Local Sheriffs are telling people to feel free to defend their property from looters by whatever means they have. 🔫
– WROL (Without Rule of Law) is happening in some areas, which means looting, robbing, and etc.
– FEMA’s involvement has seriously complicated the rescue efforts.
– Local Sheriffs have threatened to arrest FEMA workers if they hinder rescue and aid work.
– The response to this tragedy has been massive and overwhelming. All from private individuals and local Churches.

Pray for these people!

TO THOSE WHO THINK MY FATHER WOULDN’T HAVE WANTED #TRUMP TO USE FMJ FOOTAGE

Here are my thoughts: I agree in principle that an anti-war movie is incongruous with promoting the idea of a tough non-woke US military and thus war itself – however – these are very dangerous and strange times and thus using this footage is doubtless pure expedience.

Because I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team – Trump is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods. However, that’s primarily what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature.

And thus, on this tooth and claw planet, you need a very strong military – so I’m going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was used primarily because of its powerful, realistic portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the entirely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA military. Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with.

Truthfully, I believe my father (who supported Reagan), would very much approve of saving America, indeed the world, from the highly destructive Globalist forces threatening to take over this planet. And if that footage from FMJ helps Trump make the point that the US military needs properly trained, super tough, focused, dedicated warriors, and not introduce the demoralizing effects of woke-ism, and attracting people to join up simply to have their sexual reassignments paid for, then Trump has my blessing.

Finally, knowing my father very well, I can assure you he had a profound grasp of how paradoxical human nature is! Which accounts for how at the same time he made anti-war films, he had a great passion for guns (self-defense not hunting) and he had quite a few!

My father had a great respect for life – his movies being unimpeachable evidence of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! So on that basis, I feel very confident he would be a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously, if it helps the cause of freedom!

October 9, 2024 – Virginia School Board storms out of meeting after parents confront them over MS-13 student and previous gun threat to students

A worried father leaves podium after confronting the Loudoun County School Board, October 9, 2024. (Credit: video clipping)

The Loudoun County School Board is in the news again because the members stormed out of a meeting after parents confronted them over the enrollment of a student who belongs to the MS-13 gang.

Blue Ridge Middle School suspended the illegal alien student “in May 2023 for bringing a firearm to school and threatening students.”

The student currently attends Loudoun Valley High School. The sheriff’s office claimed it took the May 2023 incident seriously but said, “The situation is complex.”

From The Post Millennial:

A worried father confronted the Loudoun County School Board about the issue, but the elected officials refused to address the concerns and stormed out of the room. One school board member shut him down within seconds of him giving a public comment, stifling the father’s allotted time behind the podium.

“Recently, the local media covered a story where a known gang member with a criminal record was suspended from LCPS and was allowed back in the schools,” the dad said before he was interrupted by the board. He was given two warnings to leave the podium, but the dad fired back: “I’m not stopping!”

The dad wouldn’t stop. He wanted the board to explain why the school enrolled the student, “citing safety concerns.”

Then, the school board cut off public comments, causing more outrage:

“There needs to be a public vote to end public comment!” a mother of a student shouted out, who was presumably upset by the announcement. “Make a vote. Go ahead and vote on it. Make a decision to end public comment, and all of you raise your hands and tell every single person that’s sitting in this room that you want to violate their First Amendment and stop your constituents from speaking.”

A school board member told the mother, “You are out of order!” The board then decided to officially end public comment without a vote and stormed out of the room, leaving the parents left without answers.

The parents mentioned the student last month.

The board refused to answer questions from parents and reporters. From September 25:

On Monday, at a Loudoun County school board meeting, all seven board members refused to answer questions about the migrant student. A reporter with the network was met with deafening silence after asking the board, “Are you comfortable with a student attending Loudoun Valley High School this year who previously threatened to kill a fellow student and was arrested for carrying a gun” and “What are you doing as a school board member to keep students safe from violence, gun violence, and gang activity at Loudoun Valley High School and other schools?”

October 11, 2024 – Database reveals worst hospitals for inflicting transgender injuries on children

A new database has revealed the “Dirty Dozen,” the 12 “worst-offending” hospitals in America for inflicting transgender agenda injuries on children.

And Mat Staver, the chief of Liberty Counsel, which has battled the leftist, and unscientific, ideology that males can be turned into females and vice versa, said, “Mutilating children for profit is criminal. It is biologically impossible to change one’s gender.

“The insanity of gender ideology and greed has made a mockery of the medical profession’s duty to ‘do no harm.’ There are only two genders, and the medical profession needs to return to sound science to treat mental health issues with proven psychiatric therapies to heal rather than harm.”

Under the science, being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level, and it cannot change.

Not surprising, many of the offending hospitals are located in far-left states, where the social agenda has taken over.

So it would be expected that Children’s Hospital Colorado, in the leftist Rocky Mountain state, and Children’s Minnesota, in that state now run by leftist Gov. Tim Walz, and Seattle Children’s, in the leftist Pacific region state, are included.

The full list of those hospitals:

  • The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
  • Connecticut Children’s Medical Center
  • Children’s Minnesota
  • Seattle Children’s
  • Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
  • Boston Children’s Hospital
  • Rady Children’s Hospital
  • Children’s National Medical Center
  • UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland
  • Children’s Hospital Colorado
  • UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh
  • Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center

The listing is from a database compiled by Stop the Harm.

The Liberty Counsel report on those issue explained, “The group determined these 12 hospitals were the worst offenders based on a variety of factors, such as their community and legislative activism in favor of gender interventions, the number of prescriptions for puberty blockers and hormones written for minors, the severity of the procedures performed on children, and the cumulative amount of insurance claims billed for these interventions.

October 11, 2024 – Feds find a million in cash while investigating staffing firm supplying Haitians to Charleroi, PA food factory

A mysterious staffing firm operating a complex van transportation network supplying low-cost Haitian labor to a Charleroi, PA-based company that operates multiple food packing plants in the area has been at the center of a federal investigation.

On Friday, local media outlet Action News revealed that federal investigators had been investigating staffing firm Prosperity Services, which supplies cheap migrant labor to Fourth Street Foods in Charleroi.

According to Action News, Fourth Street “employs 700 immigrants from 41 countries, many of them Haitians.” The migrants work on conveyor lines in massive ice boxes to slap breakfast bowls and sandwiches together under various private-label brands for big box retailers.

Here’s the bombshell from the media outlet published Friday evening:

Many of Fourth Street’s workers are actually employed by a contractor, Prosperity Services. Prosperity also transports workers in vans, which can be seen throughout Charleroi.

In court records, federal investigators said Prosperity “knowingly paid undocumented non-citizen employees with cash” and “transported and housed undocumented non-citizens for employment purposes.”

Earlier this year, the feds seized nearly $1 million in cash from Prosperity and two men affiliated with the company, including Andy Ha, the company president.

In a separate report, journalist Christopher Rufo found out…

At the center of this system in Charleroi is Fourth Street Foods, a frozen-food supplier with approximately 1,000 employees, most of whom work on the assembly line. In an exclusive interview, Chris Scott, the CEO and COO of Fourth Street Barbeque (the legal name of the firm that does business as Fourth Street Foods) explained that his company, like many factory businesses, has long relied on immigrant labor, which, he estimates, makes up about 70 percent of its workforce. The firm employs many temporary workers, and, with the arrival of the Haitians, has found a new group of laborers willing to work long days in an industrial freezer, starting at about $12 an hour.

Many of these workers are not directly employed by Fourth Street Foods. Instead, according to Scott, they are hired through staffing agencies, which pay workers about $12 an hour for entry-level food-processing roles and bill Fourth Street Foods over $16 per hour to cover their costs, including transportation and overhead. (The average wage for an entry-level food processor in Washington County was $16.42 per hour in 2023.)

Rufo uncovered other staffing companies …

According to a Haitian migrant who worked at Fourth Street and a review of video footage, three staffing agencies—Wellington Staffing Agency, Celebes Staffing Services, and Advantage Staffing Agency—are key conduits for labor in the city. None have websites, advertise their services, or appear in job listings. According to Scott, Fourth Street Foods relies on agencies to staff its contract workforce, but he declined to specify which agencies, citing nondisclosure agreements.

He continued:

A property search for David Barbe and his other business, DB Rentals LLC, shows records of more than 50 properties, many of which are concentrated on the same streets.

And continued some more:

No doubt, the situation is advantageous to David Barbe of Fourth Street Foods, who can pay $16 an hour to the agencies that employ his contract labor force, then recapture some of those wages in rent…

Fourth Street Foods owner David Barbe told the media outlet: “I don’t know anything about it.”

October 14, 2024 – Feds admit child sex trafficking reports triple under Harris and Biden

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas met employees from the DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking. (Credit: Sydney Phoenix/Released)

Youth sex trafficking and its myriad cruelties tripled under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a report in TheFreePress.com.

TheFreePress.com described some of the harms inflicted on youth migrants under the lax policies set by Biden’s border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas’ tenure:

Sex-trafficking victims often suffer horrific abuse, as I discovered when I spoke to Landon Dickeson, the 36-year-old executive director for Bob’s House of Hope in Denton, Texas, the only shelter for male sex-trafficking victims ages 18 and up in the country. Dickeson says they’ve seen teens from Central and South America who have been so tortured by their traffickers they can barely function.

Dickeson described caring for teens who have brain damage from being so heavily drugged—teens who have had their fingernails pulled out, and lemon juice poured on wounds. When I asked to interview one of their migrant residents, Dickeson said they simply weren’t in any condition to speak to anyone, much less a reporter. “We think the cartels and gangs use torture as a control method for the males,” said Dickeson. “They’re not going to fight back if they chain their victims to a radiator, beat them up frequently, or drug them.”

The abuse and prostitution may be forced on young migrants who are indebted to smugglers and their affiliated trafficking gangs in the United States. If they cannot pay their debts, their families can lose farms and homes to the banks that hold the loans.

The rising number of youth sex-trafficking cases were posted at the Department of Health and Human Services when TheFreePress demanded the data under the Freedom of Information Act. The agency is responsible for checking and issuing Certification and Eligibility Letters to the children and youths who first request aid after escaping sex traffickers.

The agency issued 1,143 letters in 2021, 2,226 letters in 2022, and 2,148 letters in 2024 under the welcome policies set by border chief Alejandro Mayorkas. The agency has not posted any data since the first week of September 2023.

The incomplete data adds up to 5,517 letters since October 2020, or an average of 1,837 letters per year. (Read more: Breitbart News, 10/15/2024)  (Archive)

October 15, 2024 – Congressional panel: Liz Cheney communicated with witness about testimony without attorney present

Cassidy Hutchinson and Liz Cheney (Credit: public domain)

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) reportedly communicated with a witness who was being questioned by the January 6 Select Committee despite not having an attorney present.

In a press release from House Administration Committee chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI), it was revealed that Cheney began communicating with Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff, through Alyssa Farah Griffin, who previously served as the White House director of strategic communications and assistant to former President Donald Trump.

Cheney communicated to Hutchinson through Griffin without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.

Hutchinson reportedly reached out to Griffin in April 2022, after her “second transcribed interview,” and the two reportedly met at Griffin’s townhome in Georgetown. During this meeting, Hutchinson informed Griffin that “she had more information she could provide to the Select Committee,” according to the press release.

When Hutchinson reached out to Farah Grifffin, she invited Hutchinson over to her Georgetown townhome to talk on April 26, 2022. That evening, Hutchinson told Farah Griffin she had more information she could provide to the Select Committe, according to statements by both Hutchinson and Farah Griffin. During their conversation, Farah Griffin agreed to “[contact] Liz Cheney on [Hutchinson’s] behalf about scheduling another interview.” Hutchinson’s new testimony would include her never-before-heard story that alleged that President Trump agreed with rioters chanting “Hang Mike Pence.”

Despite Griffin communicating to Hutchinson in a message on the encrypted messaging app called Signal that Cheney’s “one concern was so long as Hutchinson had counsel, Cheney was unable to “really ethically” speak with her without her attorney, Stefan Passantino, present.

Griffin reportedly went on to act “as an intermediary for Cheney,” during which time she “helped coordinate Hutchinson’s third transcribed interview” with her attorney’s knowledge.

Hutchinson and Griffin also reportedly “colluded to create a false story” to give to Hutchinson’s attorney as to why she “needed to do a third transcribed interview” before the January 6 Select Committee.

In her May 17, 2021, transcribed interview Hutchinson testified to a series of uncorroborated and unverified stories that conveniently fit the Select Committee’s narrative that President Trump is dangerous and solely responsible for the events of January 6. Despite already testifying to the Select Committee twice, Hutchinson never previously mentioned this “new information.”

After Hutchinson’s third transcribed interview, which Cheney “led,” Hutchinson “reached out to Cheney directly.” Soon after they began communicating with each other Hutchinson “fired Passantino” and Cheney “provided Hutchinson with new attorneys,” according to the press release.

When Hutchinson texted Cheney, she was still represented by Passantino which, [sic] Cheney knew. Cheney and Hutchinson communicated directly for days without Passantino’s knowledge. Subsequently, Cheney provided Hutchinson with new attorneys from Alston and Bird—pro bono.

Days after Cheney began communicating directly with Hutchinson, Hutchinson fired Passantino and hired Cheney’s recommended attorneys, who agreed to represent Hutchinson pro bono. Within a few weeks, Cheney brought Hutchinson in for a secretive fourth transcribed interview. During this fourth transcribed interview, only Cheney and one other Committee counsel were present, in addition to Hutchinson’s new counsel. During this fourth transcribed interview Hutchinson testified to some of her most outlandish new claims.

After switching attorneys, the January 6 Select Committee created a story, making “Passantino the scapegoat,” in order to “ensure Hutchinson’s credibility as a witness.”

“They manufactured the story that Passantino gave Hutchinson faulty advice — such as instructing Hutchinson to withhold information, to misrepresent her testimony, and even that Passantino implied he would help Hutchinson with employment in return for favorable testimony,” the press release continues.

October 15, 2024 – President Trump battles Bloomberg, Wall Street multinationals and WEF economists during Chicago business townhall

President Donald Trump sits down with Bloomberg Editor-In-Chief John Micklethwait for an extended interview. The interview is in partnership with the Economic Club of Chicago and is structurally President Trump facing down the globalists who sell Wall Street policy.

The interview was at times very combative as the interviewer, John Micklethwait, pushes a Wall Street ideology in alignment with the World Economic Forum. However, President Trump has already proven that his economic policies work.

President Trump stared down every WEF talking point and totally destroyed it.  This interview is brilliant and a perfect juxtaposition for Economic Nationalism vs Multinational Globalism.

October 15, 2024 – A timeline of events surrounding J6 D.C. National Guard deployment shows politically motivated decisions

As Kamala Harris and Democrats continue to use January 6 as a campaign issue, it is important to recall those responsible for preventing the National Guard from protecting the Capitol.

Thanks to the surgeon-like precision of my researcher Haley McLean, this timeline (we believe) represents the most exhaustive one to date showing the requests and denials related to the deployment of the D.C. National Guard before and on January 6, 2021. Events have been curated from a number of resources including congressional testimony, internal agency investigations, media coverage, videos, and book excerpts.

We preface the timeline with critical context and information about the lead-up to January 6 involving key political operatives and known foes of President Trump.

Summer 2020

Jamie Fleet, then-Democratic staffer for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the Committee on House Administration (chaired, at the time, by Rep. Zoe Lofgren, who was later appointed to Pelosi’s January 6 Select Committee) had a team of counselors working in anticipation of coming debates and objections from states—including Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia—about the certification of the electoral college vote. Knowing that objections would likely be raised on January 6, Fleet’s team began contingency planning to prepare for the possibility that the proceedings would “not [be] traditional.”

June 2020

  • Following the June 1 photo op at Lafayette Square during the BLM riots in Washington, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley contemplated resigning. Sitting in his Pentagon office, Milley wrote several drafts of a letter of resignation. Milley sought advice from a wide circle of confidants, including Joseph Dunford, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs under the Obama administration; retired Army General James Dubik; members of Congress; former officials with the George W. Bush and Obama administrations; and Robert Gates, former secretary of Defense and CIA chief. Most agreed with Gates’s advice: “Make them fire you. Don’t resign.”
  • By June 10, 2020 Gen. Milley had decided not to resign. “Fuck that shit,” he reportedly told his staff. “I’ll just fight him.” Milley assured his confidants that he would never openly defy the president—a move he considered illegal—but he was “determined to plant flags.” He told his staff, “If they want to court-martial me or put me in prison, have at it, but I will fight from the inside.” Milley saw himself as “tasked” with safeguarding “against Trump and his people” from potentially misusing the military, something he confided in a “trusted confidant” to ensure he remained true to this plan. “I have four tasks from now until the twentieth of January,” he affirmed, “and I’m going to accomplish my mission.”
    • Milley “sought to get the message to Democrats that he would not go along with any further efforts by the president to deploy the machinery of war for domestic political ends. He called both Pelosi and Schumer.”
  • Gen. Milley stood up a crisis management team that was “dedicated to monitoring domestic unrest.” He outlined his and his staff’s efforts in four phases: “So I said—and this is from June—so I said: Phase one is now through the election, and phase two is the election out through the certification, which was known, it was a known date, the 6th. So from the election to the certification. Phase three, I said, was certification to inauguration. And phase four was inauguration plus 100 days.”
    • Every morning at Gen. Milley’s direction, he and his staff began tracking civil disturbances in the United States, focusing on events and incidents involving groups such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Milley explained, “when I say ‘tracking’ I had the Joint Staff report, set up a system of reporting in the morning at our normal 7:30 meeting” and “the reports from every morning and it’s June, July, August, September, October, all the way through.”
    • Milley and his team “had LNOs [Liaison Officers] with the FBI, in the FBI building … I think we called it domestic unrest as a general thing,” and “we just worked with the FBI and local police, and we made sure that we kept track of it. And we stood up a team to make sure that we, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and I, had situational awareness just like we have overseas.”
    • Milley had his Joint Staff historian “conduct an in-depth research on the use of the Insurrection Act, what it’s all about, going all the way back to 1807 or whatever year it started, all the historical examples, laid out every single one of them in detail. The historian would walk me through it.”

October 15, 2024 – Nathan Wade admits to multiple White House meetings during prosecution of President Trump in Georgia

Reporters grill Nathan Wade as he arrives for deposition by House Judiciary Committee.

Fani Willis’s special prosecutor and illicit lover Nathan Wade admitted he met with the Biden-Harris White House on multiple occasions during the prosecution of President Trump in the Georgia RICO case.

Nathan Wade arrived on Capitol Hill for an interview with the House Judiciary Committee last week. Fani Willis sent out a letter to Chairman Jim Jordan demanding Nathan Wade’s testimony be canceled. She also demanded that Wade not answer any questions.

Details of Wade’s White House meetings were not disclosed to lawmakers.

It is unclear if Nathan Wade’s White House meetings were in person or remote by video. When asked, Nathan Wade said, “I don’t recall.”

WATCH:

Fox News reported:

Former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade met with Biden administration staff on at least two occasions during District Attorney Fani Willis’ probe into former President Donald Trump, a newly released transcript suggests.

Wade was interviewed by House Judiciary Committee staff last week as part of Chairman Jim Jordan’s probe into the prosecutions of the former president.

A grand jury indicted Trump and allies last year on charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.

Wade did not disclose the details of his supposed meetings with White House representatives, including if they were in-person or remote, but he acknowledged the existence of invoices and other records that indicated discussions occurred.

Breitbart News, 10/21/2024)

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis planned her prosecution of former President Donald Trump before she took office, her former top prosecutor Nathan Wade revealed in a bombshell deposition before the House Judiciary Committee.

Willis’s prosecution of Trump for election interference has hit numerous roadblocks inside and outside the courtroom. Trump, who pleaded not guilty, has argued her case is politically motivated lawfare.

Wade’s deposition on October 15 before Chairman Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) committee revealed Willis planned her legal assault on Trump before she took office in January 2021.

Wade, after struggling to remember the timeline, acknowledged Willis contacted him “sometime after the election, but prior to her taking office” to recruit him to lead a search committee for a special prosecutor to target Trump. The committee eventually selected Wade.

“Eventually, I guess the committee turned their guns on me and started trying to convince me to accept the role,” Wade said.

The most critical meeting took place on November 18, 2022, when Wade spent eight hours in the White House counsel’s office. That meeting occurred the same day U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith and Matthew Colangelo, the former third-highest ranking official at the U.S. Department of Justice, resigned to take a position in the Manhattan prosecutor’s office.

That trio of events occurred just days a[fter] November 9 press conference in which President Joe Biden, asked about the prospects of Trump running against him in 2024, said, “We just have to demonstrate that he will not take power, if he does run, making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next president again [sic].”

Breitbart News first reported the significance of those November 18 meetings, occurring on the heels of Biden’s pronouncement.

A New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice has been indicted by a grand jury for allegedly trying to interfere in an open investigation of her husband.

In an Oct. 16 statement from the New Hampshire Department of Justice, Attorney General John Formella said the Merrimack County grand jury had indicted Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi for two felonies and five misdemeanors.

All the charges relate to allegations that she attempted to interfere with a criminal investigation on her husband, Geno Marconi.

“The decision to charge a sitting Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court was not made lightly, and it comes after careful and thoughtful deliberation,” Formella said.

“No person is above the law, and the evidence in this case required investigation and presentation to the grand jury.”

According to the prosecutors, Hantz Marconi has been charged with two Class B felonies; attempting to commit improper influence, and criminal solicitation of improper influence. (Read more: The Epoch Times, 10/17/2024)  (Archive)

(…) In August, a longtime friend of Geno Marconi told InDepthNH.org that he believes Sununu was behind the investigation into Hantz-Marconi to pressure Geno Marconi to resign as director of the New Hampshire Division of Ports and Harbors.

Brad Cook, who formerly owned Atlantic Fishing and Whale Watching in Rye, said then that he believes Sununu is behind the effort to get rid of Geno Marconi because Marconi didn’t agree with the state’s plan to build a controversial elevated strip mall in the Rye Harbor parking lot, a plan that has since been stopped.

Hantz Marconi has been on paid leave from the Supreme Court since July. Her husband, Geno Marconi, the Director for the New Hampshire Division of Ports and Harbors, which is part of the Pease Development Authority, has been on leave since April. Geno Marconi has not been charged with any crime. A spokesman for Formella said: “The criminal investigation into Geno Marconi is a separate matter. It remains open and ongoing.“ (Read more: InDepthNH.org)  (Archive)

October 16, 2024 – Meta engineer admits Facebook demotes anti-Kamala Harris posts, shadow-bans conservatives; Election interference

BREAKING: Senior Meta Engineer Reveals Anti-Kamala Posts Are “Automatically Demoted,” Admits Shadowbanning Tactics

“Say your uncle in Ohio said something about Kamala Harris is unfit to be a president because she doesn’t have a child, that kind of sh*t is automatically demoted,” reveals @Meta Senior Software Engineer, Jeevan Gyawali (@JGyawali), to an undercover @OKeefeMedia journalist during a hidden camera date. He confirmed, “The person would not be notified,” but would see a decline in their post engagement and impressions, explaining that Meta’s “Integrity Team” is responsible for controlling content through “civic classifiers,” a system that “shadowbans” posts without notifying users.

Gyawali also revealed a specialized Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team that was created at Meta, stating, “There is a SWAT team that’s already set up since April… just to think about all the scenarios of how the platform could be abused.” When asked if Meta is doing their due diligence to protect democracy from disinformation, Gyawali ensured “that’s all going to be demoted 100%.”

When asked, “You guys [Meta] have the ability to influence the outcome of the election?” Gyawali confirmed, “Yes,” admitting Meta’s power to sway political outcomes. When asked if Mark Zuckerberg (@finkd), Co-Founder and CEO and Meta, supports Meta’s political influence and agenda to help the Democratic Party, Gyawali answered, “100%.”

October 16, 2024 – Bill Gates ordered to face trial in Netherlands over COVID-19 vaccine injuries

(Credit: The Defender)

A Netherlands court last week ruled that Bill Gates can stand trial in the Netherlands, in a case involving seven people injured by COVID-19 vaccines.

According to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, the seven “corona skeptics” sued Gates last year, along with former Dutch prime minister and newly appointed NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and “several members” of the Dutch government’s COVID-19 “Outbreak Management Team.”

Other defendants include Albert Bourla, Ph.D., CEO of Pfizer, and the Dutch state.

“Because Bill Gates’ foundation was involved in combating the corona pandemic, he has also been summoned,” De Telegraaf reported.

According to Dutch independent news outlet Zebra Inspiratie, the plaintiffs allege that Gates, through his representatives, deliberately misled them about the safety of the COVID-19 shots, despite knowing “that these injections were not safe and effective.”

Dutch independent journalist Erica Krikke told The Defender that the seven plaintiffs — whose names are redacted in the lawsuit’s publicly available documents — “are ordinary Dutch people, and they have been jabbed and after the jabs they got sick.”

Krikke said that of the seven original plaintiffs, one has since died, leaving the other six plaintiffs to continue the lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed in the District Court of Leeuwarden. According to De Telegraaf, “Gates had objected because, according to him, the judges did not have jurisdiction.” Accordingly, the court first “had to rule in the so-called incident procedure,” De Andere Krant reported.

Zebra Inspiratie reported that the hearing in this “incident procedure” took place on Sept. 18 and that Gates’ representatives disputed jurisdiction, but not the claim.

According to De Andere Krant, Gates was represented by the Pels Rijcken law firm, based in The Hague, described as “the largest and the premier litigation law firm in the Netherlands.” Gates did not appear at the Sept. 18 hearing, but attorneys for Gates argued that the court “had no jurisdiction over him because he lives in the United States.”

However, in its Oct. 16 ruling, the Leeuwarden court ruled it does have jurisdiction over Gates. De Andere Krant reported that the court found “sufficient evidence” that the claims against Gates and the other defendants are “connected” and based on the same “complex of facts.”

Other defendants who reside outside of the Netherlands, including Bourla, did not challenge the court’s jurisdiction.

The court ruled Gates must pay attorneys’ fees and additional legal costs totaling 1,406 euros (approximately $1,520). A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 27. (Read more: The Defender/Children’s Health Defense, 10/22/2024)  (Archive)

October 16, 2024 – Ukraine’s Azov Brigade has ‘changed’ (the peoples’ perception of their neo-Nazi history)

Back in June, the US State Department announced that it had lifted its longtime ban on giving weapons and training to Ukraine’s notorious Azov Brigade (often referenced by its earlier name Azov Battalion).

Since then, efforts to normalize Azov—which mainstream media had long ago grudgingly admitted was full of “neo-Nazi ideology”—have only grown.

The group’s members have never been shy about sporting Nazi-inspired patches either. Ultimately, they haven’t changed, only their Western supporters’ perceptions of them have.

Ukrainian scholar and historian, Dr. Marta Havryshko, has underscored this trend surrounding Azov, explaining that yes the group has “changed” – but not in the ways Ukraine’s supporters think, or what’s popularly portrayed in Western media attempts to whitewash the militia group.

Marta Havryshko has been conducting research at the I. Krypiakevych Institute of Ukrainian Studies at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Lviv since 2009. (Credit: URIS)

Below is her scathing critique in full…

“Azov changed” – the mantra of many liberal and progressive public in the West, who, after 24 Feb. 2022, demonstrate sympathy toward the Azov movement, whitewashing its past, justifying its present, and showing no concerns about its future. My answer: Yes. It changed. Here are some indicators…

Enlargement & penetration of the entire security sector in Ukraine

Instead of one Azov regiment, there are now two brigades: the 12th in the National Guard and the 3rd in AFU. Another Azov unit, Kraken, acts under the direct supervision of Ukrainian Military Intelligence run by Budanov.

Weaponry

Thanks to lobbying and political expediency, the US lifted the ban on weapons to Azov. Now, it has all kinds of heavy weapons from the West and trains its members to use them whenever they’re needed against “external and internal enemies”.

Excusing past criminal activity

Some members of Azov were engaged in criminal activities and imprisoned before 2022 for gangsterism but released after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Now, they are celebrated and decorated as “freedom fighters.”

Media support 

Azov enjoys an enormous media presence. Many Ukrainian and foreign media fall into the trap of “elite brigades,” “true patriots,” and “just nationalists.” They don’t question Azov’s ideology and are unwilling to confront Azov members directly with tough questions about its ideology and political plans.

Experts’ backing

Some scholars and analysts consciously downplay the role of radicalism and extremism in Azov, arguing that it is “depoliticized” and that claims about its threats to democracy are exaggerated and the product of Kremlin propaganda.

Indoctrination & military training of youth

Centuria, a paramilitary Azov youth movement, widened its activities across Ukraine. It penetrates schools. It prepares youth for the street violence. It is already used for political violence against LGBTQI+, feminist, and leftist activists.

Mobilization of fear

Azov weaponizes the fear of Russia in Ukraine and beyond. Common slogans: “They will kill all men and rape all women,” “They will organize another Holodomor,” “They will mobilize all men to the war against NATO,” etc.

In sum, yes, Azov changed drastically after February 2022, but most importantly, the attitude of many liberals changed toward Azov, not its very nature. (Zero Hedge, 10/18/2024)  (Archive)

October 16, 2024 – Gallup Poll: Amid all national, civic and political institutions, the U.S. news media are least trusted

It should not come as a surprise given the volume of examples that have been presented in the last several years; however, according to Gallup polling, amid all the top national civic and political institutions the United States “news media” is now the least trusted institution of all.

The alarming statistic is really that -post COVID- 31% of Americans still trusts news media.  I would surmise that if a similar poll was done on professions, teachers, nurses and healthcare workers would also be at the lower end of the scale.

That said, this really is not a surprise if you have ever interacted at a high level outside the USA.  Internationally, thanks in part to the traveling USA press corps who have showcased their ideological attributes to a host of foreign audiences, the entire world now view the USA media apparatus as various shades of something akin to Baghdad Bob.

If you think that a cognitively compromised USA President parading around the world as a blithering fool, while the USA media openly pretended he was functional, does not have some significant impact on global views, you are mistaken.  The entire world sees Joe Biden as he is, not as the media pretended him to be.

October 17, 2024 – Natalie Winters and Mike Benz discuss Administrative state attacks against Trump to undermine election results

War Room co-host Natalie Winters discussed with Mike Benz the Administrative State and their plans to undermine President Trump in disrupting the electoral process.

“What they are doing is they are priming a challenge to a Trump electoral college victory,” Benz explained regarding the Democrat war games strategy.

He also explained that they used groups like BLM in 2020 to create chaos in the street. Benz also explained that as of now, it appears that they don’t have this for 2024.

“One of the things they lack this time that they had last time, was a street para-military presence,” Benz said.

“One of the lynchpins of their plans in 2020 was leveraging the BLM rioters. They were very explicit about this. 13 times in their simulation, which was published amazingly afterwards. They said that taking to the streets was vital,” Benz continued.

Winters and Benz also discussed how Elon Musk is being threatened economically to put pressure on him to censor speech on X. The threats were coming from the EU, but Benz explained that it was originating from the US government.

“The EU is now warning they are going to fine Elon Musk, not just based off of like X revenue and all that, but include revenue from his other companies,” Winters said.

“You have this US State Department driven global censorship octopus which stretches from Brazil in the south to the EU to Australia,” Benz said.

“They have been talking about this idea of forcing Elon Musk to institute censorship measures by going after his other companies for a very long time,” Benz said.

October 18, 2024 – Highly classified US intel about Israel’s plans to attack Iran has been leaked on pro-Iran Telegram channel

On Saturday, The Jerusalem Post reported that two US intelligence documents were leaked to a pro-Iranian operation and then posted on a Telegram account linked to Iran.

The documents that were leaked by the Biden-Harris regime to the pro-Iranian operation detailed Israeli plans for a potential strike plan on Iran.

Both the US Defense Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the leaked documents.

The leak comes at a time when Israel is plotting a retalitory strike against Iran following its October 1 missile attack on the Jewish state.

This was not the first time the Biden regime was accused of  leaking Israeli secrets to the Iranian regime.

Last year, in October 2023, House Republicans accused the US. Special Envoy to Iran Robert Malley “may have had a compromising tie to the Iranian regime.”

Robert Malley, a deranged Trump hater, had already been suspended from his position with the Biden regime at the time. The FBI was investigating him, and whether or not he mishandled classified information at the time.

As usual, the FBI has not offered any updates on this investigation since last year.

The New York Post reported on Robert Malley in August 2023. (h/t x22report.com)

Update:

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) confirmed on Sunday that the U.S. government is now investigating the unauthorized release of these documents, which are believed to have originated from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency.

Now, a senior Pentagon official has been identified as the primary suspect in a classified leak involving the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) plan to strike Iran.

The American official under suspicion has been named as Ariane Tabatabai, an Iranian-American scholar of political science who currently serves as a senior policy advisor at the Pentagon.

The JewishPress.com reported:

A Pentagon official told Sky News in Arabic that the investigation being conducted by intelligence agencies in Washington into the leaking to Tehran documents of the IDF plan to strike Iran has begun to indicate “suspicion” of the involvement of a senior employee in the Pentagon.

The American official added that the employee suspected of leaking the documents is an American of Iranian origin named Ariane Tabatabai.

Ariane Tabatabai is an Iranian-American scholar of political science, writer, and senior policy advisor to the United States Department of Defense. After the Biden administration took office in January 2021, she joined the US negotiating team in nuclear negotiations with Iran. Between 2021 and 2022, she served as an advisor to Robert Malley, the chief promoter of pushing a deal with Iran at any cost.

Members of the US Congress, especially Republicans, have pointed out that Robert Malley was investigated after being suspected of having dealt with classified information without prior permission and of having secret contacts with Iranian figures. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 10/22/2024)

Larry Johnson:

The following two documents popped up on the internet last night. One source on Telegram, The Middle East Spectator, claimed that, “an informed source within the US intelligence community,” gave the ME Spectator these classified documents.

I don’t know if these are masterful forgeries created by AI or if the two are genuine. They look authentic, but do not have the date-time-group configuration that I would expect to see. I am sure the Russians, the Chinese and the Iranians are asking the same questions. I assume that Russia and China can independently verify the authenticity of these documents by examining their own Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance data for the dates referenced in the reports to see if they can confirm the alleged activity.

What does it mean? Israel reportedly is preparing to use Air Launched Ballistic Missiles. Another thing that troubles me about these reports is that I cannot locate an internet link for the specific ALBMs mentioned, e.g., Golden Horizon ALBM. That is a red-flag. Let’s proceed with the assumption that these reports are genuine and contain accurate information. As of 16 October, Israel was not exhibiting signs of prepping an imminent attack on Iran. The second image characterizes Israeli activity as low-to-moderate. No sign of urgent preparation.

Now we enter the hall of mirrors. Are these reports part of an elaborate psychological operation intended to lull Iran into a sense of complacency? Or, are these reports accurate and the leak is intended to provide “proof” to Iran, Russia and China that Israel is struggling to get its act together. If these two documents are legit, then they provide Iran and Russia with valuable intel that could be used to blunt, if not defeat, the Israeli attack.

The last point is intriguing. Was this an authorized leak designed to force Israel to alter its plans because the information disclosed in the two documents can aid Iran in countering Israel’s contemplated attack? Is this the act of a whistleblower, deciding to act on his or her own initiative, to try to derail an Israeli attack? I don’t know. But I do know what I would do to verify and certify that the documents are genuine.

I had a chance to discuss these documents with Ania K and Nima today. Ray and I had our usual weekly roundtable with Judge Napolitano, where we spent more time talking about the clown show in Ukraine, as well as the combat death of Yahya Sinwar.

October 19, 2024 – Trump Transition Team likely to refuse federal assistance and transition funding if President Trump wins election

This is an inside baseball story that will be overlooked by most, but it carries profound implications.

The winner of the presidential election usually merges the president-elect’s transition team with the federal transition system.  Current government bureaucrats then begin a process of briefings, agency/institutional transfer coordination and funding to assist the incoming president’s team.  However, as we saw in the aftermath of the 2016 election, the government side of the transition worked behind the scenes to impede Trump’s ascendency into office, and factually supported the corrupt government IC officials who were targeting Trump.

For election 2024, President Trump’s transition team is now saying they are likely to go it alone and skip any federal transition assistance in advance of inauguration day.  That decision is making the deepest parts of the Deep State apparatus very nervous. That decision has major ramifications and could, likely would, include the incoming Trump administration setting up offices outside Washington DC.

Trump Transition Team (Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

WASHINGTON DC – Former President Donald Trump is weighing a go-it-alone approach to presidential transition planning, which could dramatically slow his takeover of the federal government if he wins in November.

The Trump transition team has yet to sign two agreements with the federal government to receive transition funding and planning assistance and to share information — a break with modern precedent. Instead, transition co-chairs Linda McMahon, who served as small business administrator in the Trump administration, and investor and GOP mega-donor Howard Lutnick are plowing ahead with their own processes for vetting potential political appointees and preparing policy plans.

The decision not to take federal assistance allows them to raise unlimited funds without disclosing their donors, while avoiding oversight from federal bureaucrats, whom Trump and his advisers deeply distrust. But if Trump wins the election and continues to drag his feet on signing the agreement with the White House, it will limit the information he and his team can access to understand current federal operations and challenges.

While the Trump transition team insists it will be ready to hit the ground running if the former president wins, experts say it’s likely to further set back its preparations, already running well behind schedule, to take over the executive branch and its millions of employees.

[…] Beyond simply planning the future president’s policy agenda, a presidential transition is charged with identifying candidates to fill thousands of vacancies, readying plans to run the federal government’s voluminous agencies, and applying for security clearances for staff to receive sensitive information.

The Presidential Transition Act aims to facilitate a smooth transfer of power between administrations, establishing guidelines for the sitting government’s transition planning and designating various forms of assistance that the General Services Administration can provide to the presidential transitions and, post-election, the president-elect. By Sept. 1, the General Services Administration is expected to reach an agreement with the candidates’ teams regarding what kind of support and facilities it will provide before the election. By Oct. 1, the White House is expected to reach an agreement with the candidates’ teams around access to agencies, post-election, which includes an ethics plan for its staff. (KEEP READING)

Most readers are aware of my position. I do not think the Trump team should engage with the corrupt silo administrators at all, specifically because of their conduct in 2017 – which included the GSA giving all of the Trump transition material, emails, documents, text messages, cell phones etc. to Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann. The GSA even gave the IC and DOJ privileged information from President Trump’s lawyers on the transition team. In short, the DC system cannot be trusted.

This is a background issue of big importance that we should watch closely.  I predict the U.S Intelligence Community, FBI and DOJ will be conducting wholesale surveillance of the Trump transition team. They are likely doing that already.

The General Services Administration (GSA) was the originating institution used by the IC in coordination with the FBI/DOJ to set up the framing of the Mar-a-Lago documents case.  Every part of the GSA cannot be trusted.

President Trump’s transition team needs to keep distance from the Obama/Biden/Harris network that operates and controls the functionaries who manipulate the DC bureaucracy as instructed by the Intelligence Community.

We will keep watching. (Conservative Treehouse, 10/19/2024)  (Archive)

October 21, 2024 – What Nathan Wade told Congress about Fani Willis – Transcript released

The lover of Fulton County DA Fani Willis and ex-Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade spilled the beans before Congress in a damning deposition last week.

The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating the anti-Trump DA’s financial affairs and prosecution of former President Donald Trump, released the 132-page  Monday in a move sure to spur Willis, who had demanded that Wade not answer certain questions under oath due to the “confidential” nature of the information.

She previously said in a scathing letter sent to the committee’s chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), that the proceedings could compel Wade to divulge “highly sensitive” knowledge that “still belongs” to her office.

Here are the key takeaways from Wade’s closed-door testimony:

Trump Prosecution

Before the Democrat DA even took office, Willis was preparing to prosecute Trump, according to what Wade told Congress.

Wade testified that sometime between the November 2020 election and the DA’s inauguration day, Willis had “absolutely” contacted him about serving on a search committee that would select a special prosecutor to investigate and prosecute Trump.

Q: I want to now pivot to talking about your appointment as special prosecutor for the Fulton County District Attorney[‘s] Office. So who contacted you first about the special prosecutor position?

WADE: So this is an interesting story or series of events, how this came about […] I was a part of a search committee, if you will, for the then-newly elected district attorney.

Q: And can you provide dates for when you were part of the search committee?

WADE: Oh, God, I cannot. I’m sorry.

Q: If it’s helpful, DA Willis came into office on January 1st of 2021. Is that a helpful time frame?

WADE: It is. So January 1st, I was a part of the search committee for that newly elected district attorney, and we were tasked with trying to identify someone who would serve as lead counsel on the election interference investigation […] Eventually, I guess the committee turned their guns on me and started trying to convince me to accept the role…

Q: And so the search committee, you said that began when DA Willis took office on January 1, 2021. Is that correct

WADE: Yes.

Q: And was there outreach to you to be part of the search committee prior to January 1, 2021?

WADE: Absolutely.

Q: And when did that start?

WADE: Sometime after the election, but prior to her taking office.

(…) Wade confirmed that he had conducted multiple meetings with Biden-Harris White House officials but refused to disclose any pertinent details, claiming he couldn’t recollect basic facts about the events for which he billed the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office thousands of taxpayer dollars.

Wade acknowledged billing the county for an eight-hour conference “with White House Counsel” at a $250-an-hour rate equaling $2,000 total on May 23, 2022.

Although, according to the invoice’s entry, Wade supposedly spent an entire business day conferencing with the Biden-Harris White House, Wade claimed he could not recall which individuals were involved in the meeting, where exactly it occurred (whether he traveled to Athens or D.C.), or if the meeting took place in person or over the phone.

Wade also confirmed that he billed the DA’s office another eight hours on November 18, 2022, for an “Interview with DC/White House.” Again, he maintained that he did not remember meeting specifics, including who was in attendance or its subject matter.

Additionally, Wade confirmed that he billed the county 24 hours (this time totaling $6,000) between September 7, 2022, and September 9, 2022, for “Witness Interviews; conf call DC; team meeting.” Wade again denied remembering who was on the conference call or which witnesses were interviewed.

During the deposition, Wade said the phrases, “I can’t recall,” “I don’t recall,” or “I don’t know,” nearly 60 times. (Read more: Townhall, 10/21/2024)  (Archive)

October 21, 2024 – The latest woman to allege she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump, 30 years ago; timeline doesn’t add up

Stacey Williams (Credit: clipping from video)

By now it’s part of the playbook. It’s predictable. Expected.

Right before the election, another woman will allege she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump. And now they’re trying to link Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein.

This time the accuser is Stacey Williams, a former Sports Illustrated model who struggled as an actress before turning Democrat operative.

According to an exclusive from The Guardian (more on that below), Williams was groped either “in the late winter or early spring of 1993” after “Epstein suggested during a walk they were on that he and Williams stop by to visit Trump at Trump Tower.”

The Guardian continued:

Moments after they arrived, she alleges, Trump greeted Williams, pulled her toward him and started groping her. She said he put his hands “all over my breasts” as well as her waist and her buttocks. She said she froze because she was “deeply confused” about what was happening. At the same time, she said she believed she saw the two men smiling at each other.

The details of the “sexual assault” were alleged “on a call on Monday [October 21, 2024] organized by a group called Survivors for Kamala, which supports Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.”

Former model Amy Dorris (Credit: public domain)

Why did Williams come forward now, and not in 2016 or 2020? She explained that while she was enjoying life as a “private citizen,” she “watched what has happened to women who come out and it is so horrifying and abusive. The thought of doing that, especially as a mother with a child in my house, was just not possible.”

What a “scoop” for Guardian reporters Stephanie Kirchgaessner and Lucy Osborne. Coincidentally – if you believe in such coincidences – Lucy Osborne had the exclusive September 17, 2020 interview with Amy Dorris, who alleged Trump sexually assaulted her at the 1997 US Open.

ZeroHedge already found one big issue with her story: the timeline doesn’t work.

In any event, it seems the Democrats have Lucy Osborne and The Guardian on speed dial to serve as their preferred vehicle for the now-expected “sexual assault” October surprise against Trump. Two alleged victims with similar stories, both Democrats, who are referred to the same reporter before the Presidential election.

Who put these “victims” in contact with Osborne? The best guess is someone affiliated with the Democratic party. As with the Dorris allegation from 2020, other media outlets are starting to run the Stacey Williams allegations. The Guardian just got the ball rolling – yet again. Sexual assault and the link to Epstein. Truly dirty stuff.

And truly unbelievable stuff. Stacey Williams is a longtime Democrat who followed “her life long passion for organizing by working with Clean Tech for Obama.” (Read more: Techno Fog/Substack, 10/24/2024)  (Archive)

October 21, 2024 – Oversight Cmte: Cassidy Hutchinson knowingly provided false testimony – Handwriting analysis proves

Update:

Bar Complaint Filed Against Liz Cheney For Secretly Communicating with J6 ‘Star Witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson

A bar complaint was filed against Liz Cheney for secretly communicating with J6 ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson while she was being represented by attorney Stefan Passantino.

America First Legal filed a bar complaint on behalf of Stefan Passantino against Liz Cheney for violating professional ethics obligations by secretly messaging Cassidy Hutchinson prior to her testimony to the J6 Committee.

“Cheney appears to have violated the D.C. Bar Rule of Professional Conduct 4.2: “a lawyer shall not communicate or cause another to communicate about the subject of the representation with a person known to be represented by another lawyer in the matter, unless the lawyer has the prior consent of the lawyer representing such other person or is authorized by law or a court order to do so.”” America First Legal said.

“Ms. Hutchinson appears to have been pressured by Ms. Cheney and others into manufacturing a narrative that Passantino had sought to influence her testimony in an effort to protect former President Trump — a claim that Passantino has denied,” AFL said.

October 22, 2024 – Tim Walz welcomed Chinese Communist Party officials into his Nebraska classroom

(Credit: Daily Caller News Foundation)

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, welcomed Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials into his Nebraska classroom while working as a teacher in the 1990s, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.

In February 1996, a delegation of three “educators” from southeast China visited Walz’s Alliance High School social studies class “to study the education system,” according to an unearthed Alliance Times-Herald article. However, the delegation included CCP officials who at the time worked for an institute serving a Chinese influence and intelligence agency, according to a DCNF review of Chinese government records.

(…) Republican lawmakers have been demanding answers from federal authorities about the governor’s ties to the communist nation.

Kentucky Rep. James Comer, House Committee on Oversight and Accountability chairman, sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray in August requesting information on “any Chinese entity or individual with whom Mr. Walz may have engaged or partnered.”

“Governor Tim Walz’s documented relationships with Chinese Communist Party affiliated entities and officials bears hallmarks of a CCP infiltration and influence campaign,” Comer told the DCNF.

“FBI briefers recently informed the Oversight Committee that the Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force investigates CCP subnational influence operations and activity that is similar to how China has engaged with Governor Walz,” Comer said. “The American people deserve to fully understand how deep Governor Walz’s relationship with the CCP goes and the Oversight Committee will continue to press for answers.”

(…) Identified as being affiliated with Macao Political Institute, Ning Ziheng served as interpreter for Ye Guoqiang and Yi Hongtao, both of whom were members of the Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education, according to the local paper. Located in Guangdong province, the Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education is the “only sports university of higher education in South China,” its archived website states.

(…) The Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education where the three members of the delegation worked — or had worked previously — is listed as a member unit of a Chinese influence and intelligence service, Chinese government records reveal.

(Image created by the DCNF with photo from Alliance Times-Herald)The Guangdong provincial branch of the Chinese People’s Association For Friendship With Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) has repeatedly listed the Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education as a “group member,” including at the time of the 1996 Chinese delegation visit to Nebraska during CPAFFC’s 6th and 7th congresses, which lasted between 1995 and 2005.

Federal authorities characterize CPAFFC as an “affiliate” or “subordinate” of a Chinese influence and intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD). In 2020, the State Department warned that CPAFFC is a “Beijing-based organization tasked with co-opting subnational governments” that has “sought to directly and malignly influence state and local leaders to promote the PRC’s global agenda.”

(…) The Alliance Times-Herald reported that in 1993 Walz’s group visited the White Swan Hotel, which is located less than 1,000 feet from Guangdong CPAFFC’s headquarters on Shamian Island.

(…) “The Communist Party’s United Front Work Department has been grooming, wooing, and romancing Tim Walz for four decades,” China expert and author Gordon Chang told the DCNF. “We cannot allow our enemy to take over the core of our government.”

October 22, 2024 – The Atlantic publishes an unsourced hit piece on Trump and it implodes after all involved deny it is true

The Atlantic published a hit piece Tuesday night on former President Donald Trump, alleging that he disparaged a deceased veteran and her family, and refused to pay for her funeral. The victim’s sister and numerous Trump officials, however, have come forward to dispute the story as false.

Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old Army private and daughter of Mexican immigrants, was brutally killed by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood in Texas in April 2020. Her remains were burned and weren’t found until two months later. In the aftermath of the gruesome murder, Trump met with the Guillén family and said he would provide financial assistance for her funeral. The Army also launched an investigation into Fort Hood, which resulted in the firing or suspension of 14 commanders and other leaders and the termination of the base’s commanding general.

In the Atlantic story Tuesday, editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg reported on a national security meeting in December 2020 during which Trump allegedly expressed outrage that Guillén’s funeral “cost $60,000” and that “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” Here is how Goldberg, citing anonymous sources, portrayed the meeting:

In an Oval Office meeting on December 4, 2020, officials gathered to discuss a separate national-security issue. Toward the end of the discussion, Trump asked for an update on the McCarthy investigation. Christopher Miller, the acting secretary of defense (Trump had fired his predecessor, Mark Esper, three weeks earlier, writing in a tweet, “Mark Esper has been terminated”), was in attendance, along with Miller’s chief of staff, Kash Patel. At a certain point, according to two people present at the meeting, Trump asked, “Did they bill us for the funeral? What did it cost?”

According to attendees, and to contemporaneous notes of the meeting taken by a participant, an aide answered: Yes, we received a bill; the funeral cost $60,000.

Trump became angry. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!” Later that day, he was still agitated. “Can you believe it?” he said, according to a witness. “Fucking people, trying to rip me off.”

But several former Trump officials present at the meeting have all disputed The Atlantic’s reporting. In their story, The Atlantic quoted a statement from former Trump National Security official, Kash Patel:

“As someone who was present in the room with President Trump, he strongly urged that Spc. Vanessa Guillen’s grieving family should not have to bear the cost of any funeral arrangements, even offering to personally pay himself in order to honor her life and sacrifice. In addition, President Trump was able to have the Department of Defense designate her death as occurring ‘in the line of duty,’ which gave her full military honors and provided her family access to benefits, services, and complete financial assistance.”

Ben Williamson, a spokesman for Mark Meadows, said Tuesday night that he sent The Atlantic a full comment regarding the “fucking Mexican” remark. The outlet, however, paraphrased it as “denied having heard Trump make the statement.”

“President Donald Trump absolutely did not say that. He was nothing, but kind, gracious, and wanting to make sure that the military and the U.S. government did right by Gloria Guillen and her daughter Vanessa Guillen,” Williamson said in a screenshot of the apparent text he sent prior to the story’s publication.

Perhaps The Atlantic’s motivation to lie and hurt Trump’s chance of becoming president, is his promise to release the Epstein list.

October 22, 2024 – British advisors to Kamala Harris hope to “kill Musk’s Twitter”

In an explosive leak with ramifications for the upcoming U.S. presidential election, internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate—whose founder is British political operative Morgan McSweeney, now advising the Kamala Harris campaign—show the group plans in writing to “kill Musk’s Twitter” while strengthening ties with the Biden/Harris administration and Democrats like Senator Amy Klobuchar, who has introduced multiple bills to regulate online “misinformation.”

Senator Klobuchar’s office did not respond to request for comment.

 

The documents obtained by The DisInformation Chronicle and Racket show CCDH’s hyperfocus on Musk — “Kill Musk’s Twitter” is the first item in the template of its monthly agenda notes dating back to the early months of this year.

Morgan McSweeney (Credit: public domain)

The Center for Countering Digital Hate is the anti-disinformation activist ally of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, and a messaging vehicle for Labour’s neoliberal think tank, Labour Together. Both the CCDH and Labour Together were founded by Morgan McSweeney, a Svengali credited with piloting Starmer’s rise to Downing Street, much as Karl Rove is credited with guiding George W. Bush to the White House.

The CCDH documents carry particular importance because McSweeney’s Labour Together political operatives have been teaching election strategy to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, leading Politico to call Labour and the Democrats “sister parties.” CCDH’s focus on “Kill Musk’s Twitter” also adds to legal questions about the nonprofit’s tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organization.

According to the IRS, CCDH could lose its special tax status if “a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation.” Yet, CCDH’s third item on its annual priority list is “Trigger EU and UK regulatory action” and the group previously employed the firm Lot Sixteen to lobby congressional offices on “misinformation” in Washington.

Both The DisInformation Chronicle and Racket have sent multiple, extensive questions to CCDH’s current CEO Imran Ahmed, another British political operative tied to McSweeney’s Labour Together. Despite repeated requests for comment, Ahmed has refused to respond.

(…) Now, CCDH’s growing Washington office is working on similar plans to “kill” the online presence of Democratic rivals like Musk by attacking X’s advertising revenue, a tactic first perfected in London against The Canary. CCDH is also laying the foundation for broader regulatory changes in the direction of platform censorship.

“60 meetings on the Hill,” reads one CCDH task assignment from early 2024. “Meeting with 16 congressional offices over the next two weeks to give updates on the Elon lawsuit,” reads another, referring to Musk’s since-dismissed lawsuit against CCDH accusing it of manipulating data to make a case for proliferation of hate speech on X.

CCDH also held meetings with federal legislators while pushing for “change in USA” toward a censorious proposal it calls the “STAR framework,” which would create an “independent digital regulator” that could “impose consequences for harmful content.” STAR’s core concepts are similar to Europe’s just-instituted Digital Services Act and Britain’s even more stringent Online Safety Act, which puts the national media regulator Ofcom in charge of determining fines for uncooperative platforms.

October 23, 2024 – Kamala Harris holds an “official VP press conference” to accuse Trump of supporting Hitler, in a blatant violation of the Hatch Act

Kamala said:

“All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is. This is a window into who Donald Trump really is, from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the Oval Office and in the Situation Room.

It is clear from John Kelly’s words that Donald Trump is someone who, I quote, “certainly falls into the general definition of fascist,” who, in fact, vowed to be a dictator on day one and vowed to use the military as his personal militia to carry out his personal and political vendettas.

Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable. And in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to serve as guardrails against his propensities and his actions. Those who once tried to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses would no longer be there to rein him in.

So the bottom line is this: We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question in 13 days will be, what do the American people want?” (h/t Gateway Pundit)

John Kelly’s Real Agenda: Profiting from the War in Ukraine and the Immigration Machine

Financial Incentives Tied to a Kamala Harris Presidency

John Kelly’s recent claims against Trump aren’t about principle—they’re about profit. His connections to Acuity International (formerly Caliburn) reveal financial motivations aligned with a Harris presidency, specifically in two areas: the war in Ukraine and a well-oiled immigration machine systematically bringing and settling migrants into the U.S.

•Business of War in Ukraine: Acuity profits from a protracted and lucrative U.S. involvement in Ukraine, managing logistics, security, and rebuilding efforts. A Harris-led administration likely means deeper and longer commitments, ensuring consistent revenue from defense contracts tied to conflict zones.

•The Immigration Machine: Harris’s policies go beyond welcoming migrants—they resemble a coordinated operation to import and settle migrants on a mass scale. Acuity, embedded in the immigration business, benefits at every stage: running detention facilities, providing healthcare, and managing resettlement. Each new wave fuels a profitable cycle of federal contracts, making immigration a booming industry. For Kelly, the more expansive and relentless the policy, the greater the profits.

Kelly’s portrayal of Trump as an authoritarian who “wanted generals like Hitler’s” and his revival of the “suckers and losers” narrative seems to be less about patriotism and more about securing his financial interests if Harris ascends to power.

October 23, 2024 – Former Chief of Staff John Kelly surfaces to gaslight the public with baseless smears of Trump

Former Chief of Staff John Kelly has once again surfaced with baseless claims aimed at smearing President Donald Trump, just as left-wing operatives, including Kamala Harris, scramble to weaponize Kelly’s latest accusations.

With only days before the election, Kelly’s allegations are clearly designed to harm Trump’s campaign, but it’s nothing more than a last-ditch effort from a disgruntled employee who has long held a vendetta against the former President.

Kelly, who was fired by Trump, is now spreading an outlandish and debunked narrative about Trump allegedly praising Adolf Hitler during his time in office. These accusations are eerily reminiscent of the infamous “suckers and losers” smear propagated by The Atlantic in 2020 — another baseless story designed to defame Trump without a shred of credible evidence.

Even back then, over a dozen individuals, including close staffers. Yet, here we are again, with Kelly rehashing discredited talking points.

Kamala Harris wasted no time jumping on this fabricated narrative, calling an emergency press conference to parrot Kelly’s claims. She launched into a tirade, accusing Trump of wanting “generals like Adolf Hitler had” and implying that Trump seeks dictatorial power.

October 23, 2024 – Louisiana sues DHS and Mayorkas after illegal Chinese immigrant exposed hundreds to ‘rare TB strain’

Alejandro Mayorkas (Credit: John Moore/Getty Images)

Republican Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill is suing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and various security agencies after an illegal immigrant entered the state with a rare, drug-resistant form of tuberculosis.

Governor Jeff Landry joined Murrill on Wednesday to allege U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials shuttled the infected Chinese national around in detention, putting them in contact with at least 200 other detainees and staff.

The lawsuit specifically names Mayorkas and claims “through his official capacity” as security secretary he allegedly allowed the peripatetic detainee to be shared around ICE facilities.

The New York Post reports the lawsuit seeks to prevent federal immigration officials from releasing “potentially infected detainees” that came in contact with the Chinese national – who has a “rare, aggressive, and drug-resistant form of tuberculosis which carries high mortality rates” – while she was in the custody of immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“ICE has announced its intent to release potentially infected detainees from its two contract facilities [in Louisiana] — without being medically cleared by the Louisiana Department of Health — if an order requires release,” the complaint states.

“By ICE’s telling, its hands are tied once its immigration-based detention authority runs out,” the lawsuit continues, warning that migrants who may have contracted the disease will be released “onto Louisiana streets, its bus stations, and its airports.”

“This is utterly wrong,” Murrill argues, per the Post report. “The Surgeon General’s standing orders require detainees at the two facilities in question to be held unless and until they are medically cleared by the Louisiana Department of Health.” (Read more: Breitbart, 10/24/2024)  (Archive)

October 23, 2024 – Former CIA Director John Brennan: It’s ‘absurd and appalling’ so many Americans support Trump

Former CIA Director John Brennan said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Ana Cabrera Reports” that it is “absurd and appalling that so many Americans” support former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president.

Brennan said, “We have seen this continuous pattern over the course of many years of Donald Trump endorsing individuals such as a Hitler, disparaging the U.S. military, advocating for fascism, which is what John Kelly said, that he is fascist. Just like Mark Milley, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that Donald Trump is fascist to the core. It just demonstrates that Donald Trump is not interested in pro promoting our democratic system and values as Americans. Therefore, again, I find it absurd and appalling that so many Americans are willing to just dismiss these comments. The undecided voters that are still out there, I think they really need to take this into account when you have an individual such as John Kelly and Mark Milley saying this about Donald Trump. Is this the country that you want your children or grandchildren to grow up in? I certainly hope not.”

He added, “His private comments and decisions were very much consistent with a lot of the rhetoric we’re hearing from him, which, again, is so inconsistent with what our country has stood for over the course of time. Whether it be on the national security front, the foreign affairs front or the domestic policy front, I think there’s strong worry on the part of individuals who actually worked with him, with Donald Trump in the White House or in his cabinet or administration who know that he is determined to carry out an agenda here that is really going to undermine the principles of this great country of ours.” (Breitbart, 10/23/2024) (Archive)

The British CEO who plotted to k*ll @ElonMusk’s 𝕏 has now been caught orchestrating a “BLACK OPS” campaign to silence Robert Kennedy Jr.

What this means is there was a covert order by the UK’s CCDH to shut RFK Jr. down by any means necessary because they were “nervous” about his “impact” on “the election.”

Why is the UK’s Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) orchestrating a “black ops” operation on a US political figure?

While the mainstream media shouts, “Russia! Russia! Russia!” it seems the real foreign election interference is coming from the UK’s censorship czars.

October 25, 2024 – Comer demands NewsGuard disclose all government contracts amid censorship concerns

James Comer (Credit: public domain)

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is continuing the Committee’s investigation into NewsGuard’s impact on protected First Amendment speech and how its contracts with government agencies may contribute to censorship under the guise of combatting misinformation. In a follow up letter to NewsGuard Chief Executive Officers Steven Brill and Gordon Crovitz, Chairman Comer requests additional documents and communications from NewsGuard related to all past and present contracts with or grants administered by government agencies.

“The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is continuing to investigate the impact of NewsGuard on protected First Amendment speech and its potential to serve as a non-transparent agent of censorship campaigns. Our investigation has particularly focused on abuse of government authority to censor American citizens under the guise of protecting them from so-called misinformation,” wrote Chairman Comer.

In June 2024, Chairman Comer requested NewsGuard provide all current and past contracts with government entities. NewsGuard has provided information to the Oversight Committee regarding contracts with the Department of Defense. However, NewsGuard revealed in a briefing with Oversight Committee staff that it has also performed work with the Joint Research Centre of the European Union, and the Global Engagement Center of the State Department, and with the Cyber National Mission Force within U.S. Cyber Command.

“These wide-ranging connections with various government agencies are taking place as the government is rapidly expanding into the censorship sphere. For example, one search of government grants and contracts from 2016 through 2023 revealed that there were 538 separate grants and 36 different government contracts specifically to address ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation,’” continued Chairman Comer. “The protection of First Amendment rights of American citizens is paramount and attempts by government actors to infringe on those rights is dangerous and misguided.”

October 25, 2024 – Following non-endorsement, Victoria Nuland’s husband, who once called for Trump to receive the Julius Caesar treatment, resigns as ‘editor at large’ from WaPo

Victoria Nuland’s husband, Robert Kagan, has resigned as the Editor at Large from the Washington Post.

WASHINGTON – […] The Post’s newsroom and editorial team erupted in outrage. Robert Kagan, a neoconservative columnist and editor at large at the Post, resigned in response, he confirmed in a statement to POLITICO. A spokesperson for the Post declined to comment on Kagan’s resignation. (more)

Allow me to take you back two-years, to November of 2023 for a reminder.

CTH ARCHIVES – Everyone in/around U.S. politics knows the Washington Post, owned by Big Tech Amazon, is effectively the PR firm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). No one inside the DC beltway does not understand this basic truth.

Therefore, when the husband of State Dept official Victoria Nuland, a man named Robert Kagan, writes an op-ed in the CIA newsletter, effectively calling for President Trump to receive the Julius Caesar treatment, the non-subtle message is for the CIA to repeat their Kennedy performance and kill President Trump.

As alarming as this acceptance might sound, there are no intellectually honest people who would deny it.

WaPo/CIA – Let’s stop the wishful thinking and face the stark reality: There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. In 13 weeks, Donald Trump will have locked up the Republican nomination. In the RealClearPolitics poll average (for the period from Nov. 9 to 20), Trump leads his nearest competitor by 47 points and leads the rest of the field combined by 27 points. The idea that he is unelectable in the general election is nonsense — he is tied or ahead of President Biden in all the latest polls — stripping other Republican challengers of their own stated reasons for existence.

(…) Are we going to do anything about it? To shift metaphors, if we thought there was a 50 percent chance of an asteroid crashing into North America a year from now, would we be content to hope that it wouldn’t? Or would we be taking every conceivable measure to try to stop it, including many things that might not work but that, given the magnitude of the crisis, must be tried anyway?

Will those who balked at resisting Trump when the risk was merely political oblivion suddenly discover their courage when the cost might be the ruin of oneself and one’s family? (more)

Victoria Nuland’s husband, Robert Kagan, the Editor at Large for the Washington Post and the man who called for the assassination of President Trump, has now resigned because the CIA newsletter would not endorse Kamala Harris!

October 25, 2024 – Kamala is in the Biden laptop

Kamala Harris (Credit: David Paul Norris/Getty Images)

Last week was the 4 year anniversary of the Biden Laptop expose by the New York Post. We have since published the most complete dossier on the contents of the abandoned device, and the American first family is trying to shut down our group with egregious & expensive lawfare because of that comprehensive dossier.

One of the common misconceptions about the material from the abandoned device—trumpeted by people on the left & the right—is that they classify the Biden Laptop as a so-called “October Surprise,” implying (wrongly) that its impact & relevance is limited to a single month. This misdiagnosis is borne out of ignorance (in most cases) or malice (in some cases, especially on the left) about the nature of the abandoned data found on the device.

This misconception can be refuted by simply searching through our nonprofit’s first project: BidenLaptopEmails.com, a database which has been utilized by more than 10 million people across America & the globe. In the press release announcing the database, which was covered by no less than than 25 outlets across the globe, we described the 128k emails on the Biden Laptop as “a modern Rosetta Stone of white and blue collar crime under the patina of ‘the Delaware Way.’ Prior to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, a number of ancient languages were mere gibberish and hash marks. Similarly, the emails on the Biden Laptop illuminated previously convoluted webs of the people [] leading the charge for global governance; truly, the emails can be considered a translation tool for Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) gathering.” In other words, the sheer breadth & depth of people, places, & things directly/indirectly alluded to in the email database spans much more than a single month or even year.

That’s why the scandal just “won’t go away.” It will not go away for multiple reasons—number one, because Marco Polo exists, but (more importantly) because the emails reveal the true (and oftentimes sinister or criminal) actions & motivations of dozens of powerful people beyond the Biden Family. This cabal, made up of Republicans and Democrats, continues to run the American government. As just one example: the current Secretary of State (who spearheaded the “51 former spooks” letter & committed perjury to the U.S. Senate) & his staffer wife are implicated by the email database, and you can surmise that they will both be in the American executive branch should Kamala get pushed over the finish line.

Said differently, the emails from the Biden Laptop are a portal into the world of the swamp. This portal likely possesses the finest granularity of the swamp in American history. That is why we are so passionate about spreading our findings across the fruited plains, as we have done & will continue to do.

Consider another example of the breadth & depth of the emails: Kamala was considered for a board member slot on the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children (yes, an entity bearing that name unironically exists & was written about extensively in our dossier, along with the fact that Beau Biden’s widow accused Hunter Biden—who she was sleeping with—of being “sexually inappropriate” with her then-underaged daughter. Beau Biden’s widow & Hunter were on the board of the Foundation around the time of the widow’s multiple allegations).

OSINT tools confirm the authenticity of the cell phone # linked to Kamala.

In addition to the Beau Biden Foundation board seat option, Kamala’s campaign reached out to the Foundation with an offer to buy the latter’s email lists (a likely FEC violation, something the Biden camp, and specifically Mel Monzack, the pResident’s power of attorney, knows all about).

Longtime Biden gofer Josh Alcorn detailed the offer from Kamala’s campaign.

The vignettes above are just 2 examples of the putrid nature of the swamp. The Biden Laptop story will never end because the swamp never stops trying to lie, cheat, & steal. And Marco Polo will be there to chronicle it all.

October 27, 2024 – “Six Days from Sunday” and the Continuity of Government

Incredible as it seems, at least to me, it is the four-year anniversary of this outline [GO DEEP].

During the rushed debate over the Patriot Act, was when I first heard political officials talking about the importance of “continuity of government.”

I immediately recognized what all these DC voices were describing was a construct of a post-911 government that would exist and maintain itself without the elected representatives of WeThe People.

The intelligence gathering and homeland security system put into place after the Patriot Act was passed, is a bureaucratic administrative state without the presence of elected officials controlling the apparatus. That leads to the following question:

How can a constitutional republic function without elected officials in control of it?

That question is at the heart of our current situation.

That question is at the epicenter of this “new American democracy” that no one seems to understand.

The simple answer is it cannot.

We have been fighting this three-headed IC monster (DHS, DNI, DOJ-NSD) ever since.

This reality the underlying predicate behind why Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the Special Counsel charges against Trump. This reality is also the underlying framework behind why the Supreme Court recently reaffirmed the plenary power of the President with control over the executive.

In the post-9/11 system that was created by the Patriot Act, our Constitutional Republic was inextricably fractured, placing systems and silos in charge of government under the auspices of “continuity of government.”

From that moment forth, elected representatives no longer held authority or oversight *over* the national security apparatus. Instead, the Patriot Act flipped the actual system of democratically elected representative government.

The RESULT: Our elected officials became subservient to the institutional interests of unelected agency officials. As Senator Schumer calls them “the six ways from Sunday” coalition.

This reality empirically surfaces with people like former AG Bill Barr saying the President does not have unilateral authority over the DOJ. Also, the Lawfare approach and narrative that a President is not the arbiter of governing power. Both statements are constitutionally false, as affirmed by SCOTUS – Thank God.

Understand this. This is the root of the cancer that was always present, silent and lurking in the background institutions prior to 9/11. After the Patriot Act passed, that cancer fully metastasized and entered the bloodstream of American governance.

What was previously a slimy bag of institutional snakes, kept in place by a tenuously worn nylon bag – sewn from the remaining fabric of our constitution, was released by the Patriot Act.

Everything thereafter, including the constant bites we suffer from the unleashed weaponization, is a consequence of that moment.

That’s the root of our modern political reality.

This is the “new American democracy,” where the unelected officials and administrators within institutions hold power.

Under this Patriot Act framework, representative government [executive branch, legislative branch and even the judicial branch] are subservient to those who use the shield of national security. This outcome is the direct consequence of creating a system for the “continuity of government.”

LEARN IT!

Then, suddenly, everything about the domestic enemy we confront gets really clear.

Thankfully, the Supreme Court has now given indications that they understand what has taken place.

The Supreme Court has recently affirmed that only the President of the United States has the authority to control the Executive Branch.  As a direct and consequential outcome, only the President of the United States can remove the core issue that has corrupted our constitutional intent.

Every element vested in the “continuity of government” as a manipulation of the constitution are now aligned to eliminate the threat President Donald Trump represents.

We have one chance.

Vote like your freedom depends on it, because it does.

Read the SCOTUS opinion, not from a point of view of President Trump, but from the point of view of what does this allow him to do in his second term, and what invisible straightjackets did it remove that were a threat during his first term?

While impeachment is a political process within the Legislative Branch, and the Supreme Court is extremely hesitant to overstep their role therein, the High Court did put this sentiment clearly into the opinion about immunity: …“The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”…

Congress may not criminalize the conduct of the President simply for carrying out his core executive branch duties.

Removal of Executive Branch officials is a core duty, an official act, carrying absolute immunity.

That affirmed reality is exactly why the Deep State and Lawfare crowd are very alarmed.

October 22-27, 2024 – FEMA official orders relief workers to skip houses with Trump signs after Hurricane Milton hit Florida

JUST IN: A FEMA supervisor who instructed disaster relief officials to avoid homes and not help Americans who showed support for Trump has been relieved of duties, according to an official statement.

“Avoid homes advertising Trump,” the FEMA supervisor wrote in a “best practices” memo.

Although the official was not named in the statement, multiple government officials told the Daily Wire that the person responsible for the misguided directive is named Marn’i Washington.

According to the Daily Wire’s exclusive report, the FEMA agents ordered not to help citizens with Trump signs were operating in Highlands County, Florida. At least 20 homes were reportedly skipped over.

“I know they’re short-staffed, I thought we could go help and make a difference,” one of the FEMA employees remarked. “When we got there we were told to discriminate against people. It’s almost unbelievable to think that somebody in the federal government would think that’s okay.”

Photos shared in the report stated that workers flagged homes as “not able to access property” and included explanations, such as “Trump sign no entry per leadership,” “Per leadership no stop Trump flag,” “Trump sign,” and “Trump sign, no contact per leadership.”

A FEMA employee said: “I volunteered to help disaster victims, not discriminate against them. It didn’t matter if people were black, white, Hispanic, for Trump, for Harris. Everyone deserves the same amount of help.”

A formal complaint raised serious questions about state-sanctioned discrimination against Americans for their personal beliefs.

“This behavior raises significant concerns of discrimination against United States citizens because of their political views,” the complaint said. “These actions not only undermine the integrity of our agency and create a hostile work environment for those who may hold differing political beliefs but they also threaten the very democracy of our country.”

FEMA issued a statement over the scandal to the New York Post.

“FEMA helps all survivors regardless of their political preference or affiliation and we are deeply disturbed by this employee’s actions,” an agency spokesperson told The Post.

“While we believe this is an isolated incident, we have taken measures to remove the employee from their role and are investigating the matter to prevent this from happening ever again,” they added.

“The employee who issued this guidance had no authority and was given no direction to tell teams to avoid these homes, and we are reaching out to the people who may have not been reached as a result of this incident.”

“We are horrified that this took place and therefore have taken extreme actions to correct this situation and have ensured that the matter was addressed at all levels,” the rep said.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis remained optimistic the employees involved would ultimately be fired.

“The blatant weaponization of government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason why the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days,” DeSantis wrote on X.

“At my direction, the Division of Emergency Management is launching an investigation into the federal government’s targeted discrimination of Floridians who support Donald Trump,” he added.

“New leadership is on the way in DC, and I’m optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired.”

It will be a great day for America when DEI is ended in our federal agencies.

Whistleblower Goes Public, Reveals Agency’s Focus on “DEI Initiatives” Over Disaster Response: “There Are Higher Priorities Given to Different Racial Groups”

“The number one goal of FEMA is to instill equity in emergency management. It’s not to save lives. It’s not to create stronger communities that will weather future disasters,” revealed Kelsey Goodman, a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Emergency Manager for REGION 4. Goodman has come forward to discuss concerns about FEMA’s response to recent disaster-stricken communities.

After Hurricane Helene, North Carolina residents reported seeing few FEMA responders on the ground, despite widespread devastation and flooding. Many people, Goodman observed, were “videoing themselves stranded” with little to no visible federal help. She described how “residents are very upset. They don’t see FEMA on the ground,” adding, “We are not there, and they’re very frustrated.”

Goodman expressed frustration about FEMA’s approach, stating that their internal narrative differed from the experiences of those in the affected areas. She explained that, internally, employees were told they were doing everything right, and “Anyone who has a problem with the way we’re doing things, they’re bad actors, they’re spreading misinformation.”

She detailed FEMA’s increasing focus on equity initiatives, revealing, “We are prioritizing disadvantaged communities when there’s no clear definition of what that is,” Goodman said. According to her, this focus is detracting from FEMA’s core mission to assist all Americans facing urgent needs after disasters. “When you’re dedicating that time and those resources to things that you can’t tie to fact… you’re not dedicating to the things that matter, which is helping American families stay safe.”

Despite potential risks, Goodman explained her motivation for coming forward: “If you feel a calling from the Lord…you need to speak the truth.” She called on FEMA to refocus on disaster response essentials, stating, “We have the resources. We need to get back to basics and use them to actually help people.”

(Timeline editor’s note: The DailyWire also writes: “The employees say that Washington has not been punished for the guidance, but has been shifted to another county in Florida.”)

UPDATE:

On Monday morning Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) told FOX News that this was not an isolated incident and it was likely happening all over the state of Florida.

Rep. Steube also suggested that these criminal acts by FEMA were also likely taking place in North Carolina.

This is a serious accusation. Republicans need to investigate

Rep. Greg Steube: If it was happening in Lake Placid, it’s happening all across the great state of Florida. It’s probably happening in western North Carolina, probably happening all of the states that were hit by Hurricane Helene.

And that’s what we, in Congress, need to get to the bottom of. The FEMA administration wants to say this was an isolated incident, but there is alleged text messages from Washington, DC to the supervisor advising them and directing them to do this.

So somebody higher up within FEMA was advising the people on the ground to do this. So if it was happening in Lake Placid, I can guarantee you it was happening in other places all across the great state of Florida and the country.

And the Oversight Committee needs to get to the bottom of this. And the very first stop would be the person who was fired, put them under oath, and ask them who in their chain of command was directing her to do this.

October 27, 2024 – Donald Trump teases he and Matt Gaetz share a “little secret” that’s set to give Republicans an edge in Congress

 

(Timeline editor’s note: I’m having trouble embedding a few tweets, this is one of them. Please click link below picture to see video.)

 

I wonder if Trump’s secret has anything to do with this!👇🏻

Everyone is buzzing about how Trump said tonight he has a secret that will allow the Republicans to take the Senate and do well in the House.

In an interview that streamed almost a year ago today to the date — Oct. 26, 2023 — General Flynn said that some members of the House and Senate are compromised by globalists who blackmailed them because they had sex with children.

Coincidence?

 

October 28, 2024 – Trump admin plans to release several government vaccine databases to the public

October 28, 2024: Alex Jones just posted an interview with Del Bigtree discussing the US government databases of vaccinated citizens and the diseases, disabilities, and deaths that incurred after vaccination.

Del Bigtree asserts that the VSD (vaccine safety datalink) has 10 million registered citizens and that the US government has refused to run a study analyzing the incidence of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. Why? Because the outcome the US government wants to show is that the COVID-19 vaccines saved lives, but they didn’t save lives…the shots increased disease, disabilities and death. As Del BigTree notes the US government doesn’t know how to do that study to show otherwise.’

Medical Billing Codes Will Be the Downfall of Pfizer

As Del BigTree and Alex Jones noted, the US government can absolutely run the comparisons of disease, disabilities and deaths between the COVID-19 vaccinated and unvaccinated from government databases, and they already have. Here’s just 3 examples of the databases.

Medicare Database: Vaxxed vs. Unvaxxed Seniors

71% of COVID-19 of Fully-Vaccinated Seniors Had ‘Breakthrough’ Cases (vs. approximately 47% of unvaccinated)

60% of COVID-19 Hospitalizations Occurred in fully-vaccinated seniors as of August 7, 2021 (vs. approximately 34% unvaccinated)

CDC V-SAFE Database

Per the CDC’s V-SAFE database of 10 million US residents who were early recipients of COVID-19 injections as of July 31, 2022 more than 4 million Americans reported a Grade 3 adverse event (as defined as ‘unable to perform their daily functions’) and approximately 200,000 (2%) required admittance to the emergency room or hospital after receiving a COVID-19 injection.

BEST: The Motherlode of US Healthcare Records Databases

The US government’s BEST database is a near-real time surveillance of all US residents aged 16 or older who have some form of medical insurance (approximately 300 million persons).

Per US law and federal regulations, the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research is required to track any and all diagnoses of symptoms, disease, office visits, ER visits hospitalizations, and deaths that may be correlated to a new vaccine or other biological product.

…

Glaring Early Signs from BEST Databases to Recall the mRNA Injections

Per an October 2022 study published in Vaccine, doctors analyzed nearly 12 million COVID-19 vaccinated individuals from select BEST databases (Optum, CVS, and Healthcare) over a 12-month period (December 2020 – January 2021). The researchers looked at 17 outcomes of interested and concluded that significantly increased rates of both myocarditis and anaphylaxis were caused by the COVID-19 mRNA injections in individuals 16-65 years of age.

October 28, 2024 – VP candidate Tim Walz had secret fling with daughter of top Chinese Communist Party member while teaching in China

Tim Walz had a secret fling with the daughter of a high-ranking Communist official during his 1989 teaching stint in China, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Jenna Wang, 59, claims the VP hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her at his poky staff accommodation at No. 1 High School in Foshan, Guangdong Province.

The lovers could not risk holding hands or showing affection in public because Wang’s dad was a high-ranking figure in the Chinese Communist Party who would disown her for fraternizing with a westerner.

But their romance blossomed behind closed doors as they sipped tea, made love and listened to George Michael hits – leading the then 24-year-old Wang to dream about marriage and a new life in the United States.

No proposal was forthcoming from the future Minnesota governor, however, and the shame of being treated ‘like a prostitute’ eventually left Wang feeling angry and suicidal, she claims.

‘Tim was very passionate and very romantic. I can still remember dancing with him to our favorite song, Careless Whisper,’ she told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.

‘The fact we couldn’t touch or kiss in public just made it all the more exciting and intense when we were finally alone.

‘We were deeply in love and I wanted to marry him and start a family. When it didn’t happen, I felt very unhappy and sad. Tim’s behavior was very selfish.’

Walz’s time in China is already a source of controversy after he misleadingly claimed in interviews and congressional transcripts that he was in Hong Kong when the Tiananmen Square protests erupted from April to June of 1989.

It later transpired that he didn’t join the staff of nonprofit WorldTeach in China until August 1989, prompting Walz, 60, to profess during the recent VP debate that he was a ‘knucklehead’ when recalling dates.

It was several months after he arrived in Foshan that Walz is said to have fallen head over heels for Wang, a pretty, highly educated English language teacher at the nearby No. 8 Middle School.

She was attending one of his lectures to brush up on her pronunciation when the then-25-year-old Walz slipped her headphones aside and whispered into her ear: ‘You are very beautiful.’

‘Tim was very handsome. I loved his eyes and his big mouth. We talked afterwards and he was very complimentary about my English,’ Wang told DailyMail.com. (Read more: Daily Mail, 10/28/2024)  (Archive)

October 29, 2024 – Biden refers to Trump/MAGA supporters as “garbage”

WHITE HOUSE SPIN

WATCH: CBS’s Tony Dokoupil absolutely nukes Tim Walz over Biden’s “garbage” comment, Walz calling the Trump’s MSG rally akin to a Nazi gathering, and the left’s history of demeaning voters….

Dokoupil: “I want to get your reaction to the President’s comments, but I want to put it into a larger context of your recent comment comparing the Sunday Trump rally to a Nazi rally and I would also throw in there Obama’s bitter clingers, guns and religion comment from a while back, the deplorable line from Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the way that Democrats are seen by some voters as disrespecting them and I have to ask, does that undercut this closing message of unity from your campaign?”

Walz: “No, certainly not. And Tony, for me, I’ve represented rural areas, I’ve represented Democrats, Republicans, Independents, the same thing with the Vice President. Look, you saw a presidential speech last night at the Ellipse that is the best of America, one that is talking about unifying us, one that’s talking about bringing folks to the table, one that the American tradition of disagreeing and debating, but still doing it in a respectful manner and I think the frustration we’ve seen since January 6, the frustration with Donald Trump’s rhetoric of division, it does fire passions and I think President Biden was very clear that he’s speaking about the rhetoric we heard at that, so it doesn’t undermine it, people are hungry to come back together. They’re hungry to find a unifying message. They’re hungry for us to find solutions, whether it’s prices or whether it’s reproductive care. They want to see solutions.”

October 29, 2024 – Judge Cannon won’t recuse herself from would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh’s case

Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday said her praise of Trump is not enough to recuse from would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh’s case.

The Trump-appointed judge said she has never met or spoken to Trump as her reason behind denying Ryan Routh’s motion for recusal.

“I have never spoken to or met former President Trump except in connection with his required presence at an official judicial proceeding, through counsel,” Cannon wrote in a 7-page order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit. “I have no ‘relationship to the alleged victim’ in any reasonable sense of the phrase.”

“Upon full review of the Motion, and fully advised in the premises, I see no proper basis for recusal,” Cannon wrote.

Lawyers for Ryan Routh asked Judge Cannon to recuse herself because she was appointed by Trump and praised her for her rulings, according to a 10-page motion filed earlier this month. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 10/29/2024)  (Archive)

October 29, 2024 – Catherine Herridge: Bucking the Bureaucracy – The cost of coming forward in the Hunter Biden tax case

BREAKING: IRS Whistleblowers Involved in Hunter Biden Tax Case Reveal IRS, DOJ, and FBI Knew Laptop “Was Real” Immediately; Claim Prosecutors Demanded They Not Ask Questions About Joe Biden Ahead of 2020 Election

“There were a lot of overt investigative steps that we were not allowed to take because we had an upcoming election.”

“The prosecutors…told us that they didn’t want to ask about ‘The Big Guy.’”

“We corroborated that ‘The Big Guy’ was Joe Biden. Yes.”

“There was no question ever that ‘The Big Guy’ was referring to Joe Biden.”

“It was for the purpose of affecting that [2020] election.”

Investigations are funded by @X subscribers, please consider subscribing @C__Herridge today!

EXCLUSIVE: Internal IRS email shows supervisor celebrating Hunter Biden conviction after whistleblowers allege IRS retaliated against them for exposing double standards and preferential treatment throughout investigation.

“Those are words that are not supported by the actions of the agency.”

“This to me was someone who knows that [an] IRS watchdog right now is looking into the way that they’ve handled this and they see the writing on the wall, and this really is an example of just covering their backside like a true bureaucracy.”

BREAKING: New retaliation against SSA Shapley after Catherine Herridge’s story

Less than an hour after @C__Herridge posted this story yesterday about the retaliation against the IRS whistleblowers, the IRS sent SSA Shapley this notice telling him he had 15 days to choose whether to be demoted or to resign. (Apparently they were sitting on it for two weeks before the story.)

@US_OSC should issue an immediate stay while they conduct their investigation into the 4 promotions SSA Shapley has been passed over for since he blew the whistle, and provide a briefing to Congress on what they have done to date. It’s been 17 months since we filed with OSC about the first promotion the IRS passed over SSA Shapley for, and OSC has yet to issue any findings.

As Hunter Biden’s lawsuit against the IRS progresses, the IRS will no doubt also use that against SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler. They meticulously followed the law when they came forward.

October 30, 2024 – Secret Service brass are interfering in DHS IG assassination probe

(Credit: Josh Morgan/USA Today)

Secret Service leaders meddled in an independent government investigation of the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump and are still not following many basic agency security protocols for presidential candidates, presidents, and vice presidents in the final days before the election, according to emails reviewed by RealClearPolitics and several sources in the Secret Service community.

As Secret Service failures came to light in the weeks after the July assassination attempt, USSS managers sent emails to employees asking them to alert them to any “direct requests for information or interview” from the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General, or DHS OIG. The internal government watchdog is conducting its probe of the failures that led to the near assassination of Trump, the killing of fireman Corey Comperatore, and the wounding of two other rally-goers at the western Pennsylvania campaign event.

The emails, which RealClearPolitics reviewed, contained the subject line “DHS OIG Inquiries” and directed employees to tell their supervisors if an OIG official reaches out to them so Secret Service managers could coordinate “an organized response.” Supervisors sent the email five days after the same inspector general issued a negative report on the Secret Service’s actions before and on Jan. 6, criticizing the agency for failing to detect a pipe bomb near Vice President Kamala Harris and not flagging signs of potential violence to other agencies.

Normally, responding to DHS OIG investigators without talking to superiors would not warrant coordination with supervisors, the email stated. But after the first assassination attempt against Trump, USSS leadership needed to provide the proper context and a coordinated response.

“Generally, not an issue; however, this is NOT the normal course of action, and the Service needs awareness and to ensure an organized response with information in the correct context,” Secret Service supervisors wrote in the emails, noting that “only we know what we do.”

The email is now under Senate scrutiny. Sen. Chuck Grassley, a longtime champion of government whistleblowers, on Wednesday sent a letter to Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe expressing concern that the email and any other communications like it could have “a chilling effect” on employee disclosures to the inspector general’s office, as well as on congressional investigations.

“If this email is an accurate representation of the actions taken by Secret Service management, it could have a chilling effect on its employees from fully cooperating and providing information to the DHS OIG as well as congressional investigations out of fear of retaliation since supervisors will apparently be keeping tabs on their communications,” Grassley wrote in the letter, a copy of which his office provided to RCP.

Instead of trying to control the flow and context of information, Secret Service leaders should be “encouraging” employees to “come forward to provide truthful information to the DHS OIG and Congress so that lessons can be learned to prevent future assassination attempts,” Grassley added.

Tristan Leavitt, an attorney and president of Empower Oversight, which represents Secret Service, IRS, and other government whistleblowers, said the email demanding that potential whistleblowers coordinate communications with their bosses stifles the free flow of information, which could help improve the agency’s performance and which federal law protects.

October 29, 2024 – New FBI Whistleblower: James Comey had FBI ‘honey pot’ spies infiltrate Trump’s 2016 campaign

Alleged off-the-books investigation predated FBI’s Russia collusion probe

The House Judiciary Committee is examining a whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James B. Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation.

An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee.

The whistleblower disclosure said two female FBI undercover agents infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honeypots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.

According to the disclosure, which The Washington Times reviewed, the investigation differed from the later Crossfire Hurricane counterintelligence operation targeting Russian collusion. It said the early off-the-books probe was a criminal investigation targeting Mr. Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign staff.

The agent “personally knew” that Mr. Comey ordered an FBI investigation against Mr. Trump and that Mr. Comey “personally directed it,” according to the disclosure.

The off-the-books investigation did not appear to target a specific crime but was more of what agents would describe as a fishing expedition to find something incriminating about Mr. Trump.

(…) A House Judiciary Committee spokesman said the committee received the whistleblower allegations and “plans to look into them.”

The whistleblower said the undercover operation was hidden from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, who investigated misconduct in the bureau’s probe of the Trump campaign.

The whistleblower disclosure also said the secret investigation may indicate institutional bias against Mr. Trump, though “it does not appear that any information about this investigation was turned over to Trump’s criminal defense counsels.”

Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker said the report, if true, is a “booming, egregious violation” of the rules governing the attorney general and the FBI.

“It’s an unpredicated infiltration of a presidential campaign which is sensitive,” he told The Times. “It’s sensitive to the point where it would have to have been approved by the [attorney general] and … would have to be predicated. And in this case, I’m not hearing any predication. It would have to be on the books anyway, regardless.”

(…) The disclosure said Deputy Director Dave Bowdich and Paul Abbate, assistant director in charge of the Washington field office, were also involved in helping Mr. Comey execute the secret probe.

The undercover “honeypot” agents targeted Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, according to the whistleblower.

(…) The FBI whistleblower said the off-the-books investigation was closed because a newspaper obtained a photograph of one of the undercover agents and was about to publish it.

The FBI press office, according to the agent’s disclosure, misled the newspaper by claiming the photograph was of an FBI informant, not an undercover agent. The FBI said the informant would be killed if the photograph was published.

Additionally, the FBI employee alleged that one of the undercover agents agreed to be transferred to the CIA so she would not be available as a potential witness, and another bureau employee involved in the operation was rewarded for her activities with a promotion and now is a high-level FBI executive.

October 31, 2024 – Former ICE Director Tom Homan: Texas DPS arrested members of 262 different gangs in last two and a half years

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has arrested members of 262 gangs in the last two and a half years alone, former acting ICE Director Tom Homan said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

Host Mike Slater pointed to recent headlines about the number of Chinese gangs operating in states such as Oklahoma and Montana, pointing to the fentanyl and marijuana industries.

Homan said the presence of these gangs — from MS-13 to Chinese gangs — is undeniable. He provided more context to the severity of this issue, bringing up data in Texas pulled by the governor.

“In the last two and a half years Texas DPS and the National Guard working on the border arrested people from 262 different gangs,” he revealed.

“Two hundred and sixty two gangs — I didn’t realize there that many gangs in the world, but gang members are coming across,” he said, noting that these are only people they arrested.

“Think about the 3.2 million got-aways. Now they’re most likely bad guys because they paid more to get away,” he said, asserting these people are most assuredly gang members, people bringing in fentanyl, and individuals from countries that sponsor terror.
Homan said this is the “biggest national security issue in my lifetime.”
“And I stress that … put all this other stuff aside. This is the biggest national security vulnerability this country has seen since 9/11. It is not ok. I don’t care what it costs. We need to secure that border,” he added. (Read more: Breitbart, 11/1/2024)  (Archive)
