September 29, 2024 – John Kerry suggests at a World Economic Forum meeting that the First Amendment stands in the way of building a consensus on climate change

Former secretary of state, senator and Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry made waves last week when the World Economic Forum came to New York on the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly, as they acknowledged, to host the Sustainable Development Impact Meetings.

Kerry implied that the First Amendment of the Constitution is proving to be an impediment to efforts by the government to overcome the obstacles of misinformation and disinformation in reaching consensus on issues such as climate change, according to The New York Sun.

“If people only go to one source and the source they go to is sick and … has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to our ability to just, you know, hammer it out of existence,” Mr. Kerry warned at the WEF meeting on sustainable development.

Another target for Kerry was social media: “Anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing, and it’s part of our problem — particularly in democracies — in terms of building consensus around any issue,” he says. “It’s really hard to govern today.”

“But, look, if people go to only one source, and the source they go to is sick and has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer it out of existence,” Kerry said.

“What we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change,” he added, while acknowledging that different people have other visions for change.

September 30, 2024 – Arizona voter registration policies failed to check citizenship and affects 218,000 voters; phone conversation of officials leaked

The Arizona Secretary of State’s Office announced Monday night that approximately 120,000 more voter registrations were discovered to have not been checked for citizenship, more than double the previous estimate.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a supposed error in the Arizona Motor Vehicle Department’s (MVD) system caused nearly 100,000 voter registrations to be validated without properly verifying the registrants’ citizenship.

According to officials, this issue has existed for 20 years, allowing individuals who received a driver’s license before 1996 to vote without citizenship verification.

The issue was discovered on or before September 10 but not announced until September 17. Now, roughly two weeks later, we’re learning that it’s a much, much larger issue. So much for transparency!

It appears that the Secretary of State’s Office may have known the actual number of affected voters as early as last week. The Gateway Pundit spoke to Arizona GOP Chairwoman Gina Swoboda after she sounded the alarm on another election integrity issue that she was notified about on Friday, though she was provided no details.

In our conversation, Swoboda revealed the lack of transparency from the Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes, who was supposed to meet with her today to debrief her on an issue. Suspiciously, the meeting was postponed on Friday until the “right time” on Monday, the same day Runbeck Election Services began printing ballots in Maricopa County, according to a statement.

However, Swoboda told The Gateway Pundit on Monday evening that she’s heard nothing but “radio silence” from Adrian Fontes. He then dropped a bombshell revealing that nearly 218,000 voters were registered in Arizona without proper citizenship verification!

“As with the initial group of Arizonans, certain individuals were mistakenly marked as having provided documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) pursuant to Arizona’s Proposition 200 requiring DPOC to vote in state and local elections,” reads a press release from the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office.

All of the impacted voters will still be able to vote as planned in local races, but this is a serious red flag regarding the administration of elections in Arizona.

Even Democrat Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, who ironically is criminally charging 18 conservatives for challenging the 2020 election, admitted that all of the elections over the last 20 years “are challengeable” and worried that Republican voters and so-called election deniers are “going to be calling for a new election.”

Arizona Governor and former Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who oversaw the rigged 2020 and 2022 elections, also said that the missing citizenship verification validates “theories about illegal voting in our elections.” She also admitted, “They’re going to be calling for new 2020 and ’22 elections.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday, Hobbs and Mayes made these statements in a September 10 phone call with Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes that was later leaked to the Washington Post.

The phone call also revealed that the officials conspired and cooked up a bogus “friendly lawsuit” filed by so-called Republican hatchetman Stephen Richer in his capacity as Maricopa County Recorder.

The officials were worried they would come under fire for removing the voters, who they claim are mostly Republicans, from the rolls or downgrading their ballot to federal races only.

Arizona law allows voters who do not provide documentary proof of citizenship to vote only in federal elections, in accordance with federal law.

So, they schemed to employ Stephen Richer, a RINO, to file the lawsuit, asking that the court designate the mostly Republican registrants as “federal only” voters and strip their ability to vote a full ballot with state and local races and ballot measures.

The emergency lawsuit, filed in the State’s highest court, was quickly ruled upon, and affected voters will still be allowed to vote on a full ballot.

“The public, impacted stakeholders, and the Arizona Supreme Court were misled as to the extent of the issue and its effect on Arizona’s voter registration records,” the Arizona GOP said in a statement.

Press release from the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office:

PHOENIX – Today, the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office released additional information about a new set of approximately 120,000 Arizonans who may be affected by a data coding oversight within ADOT’s Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) and Arizona voter registration databases—individuals who have lived in the state for decades and have attested under penalty of perjury that they are U.S. citizens.

This data set includes approximately 79,000 Republicans, 61,000 Democrats, and 76,000 Other Party (OTH), bringing the total of impacted individuals to approximately 218,000.

In spite of the evolving situation, the Supreme Court’s underlying September 20th decision about this issue stands. As with the initial group of Arizonans, certain individuals were mistakenly marked as having provided documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) pursuant to Arizona’s Proposition 200 requiring DPOC to vote in state and local elections.

All agencies continue to work together in real time to resolve this matter. The Arizona voter registration database now has the correctly flagged the impacted individuals as needing proof of citizenship.

Election officials will contact the affected Arizonans with information regarding their status after the conclusion of this General Election if necessary. In the meantime, all individuals included in the database error remain eligible to vote a full ballot. This will give election officials the opportunity to verify that everyone affected truly is required to provide documentary proof of citizenship.

“Let’s be clear, Prop 200 is an extreme law that attempts to solve a problem that is vanishingly rare,” said Secretary Fontes. “The reality is these registrants have met the same legal standard as every other American who registers to vote: swearing under penalty of perjury that they are U.S. citizens. We can’t risk denying actual citizens the right to vote due to an error out of their control. This issue is another example of why we need to fund elections, update systems and staff, and carry forward our proven tradition of safe, fair and secure elections.”

Similar to the initial announcement, the newly discovered issue pertains to misclassification of voters with a driver’s license issued before 1996.

Arizona requires residents to provide DPOC to vote in state and local elections. In data shared with the secretary of state’s office, MVD has been classifying these individuals with older credentials, from whom MVD never collected proof of authorized presence due to their original credential issue date, as having provided DPOC.

Staff and experts from the Secretary of State’s Office are continuing to work with MVD to investigate if additional voters are impacted, or if other similar errors stemming from improperly coded Proposition 200 rules exist. We will continue to keep the public informed of developments if and when we have accurate, confirmed information to share.

The Republican Party of Arizona responded to the news, condemning Fontes for providing “little transparency on the root cause or immediate solution” and calling on him to immediately publish records and deliver lists of the impacted voters to County Recorders.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AZGOP Chair Gina Swoboda Responds to Secretary of State Fontes’ Repeated Voter Roll Failures

Arizona is facing a significant voter registration crisis as Secretary of State Adrian Fontes revealed today that over 218,000 voters were improperly recorded as having provided proof of citizenship, a requirement for voting in state and local elections.

This figure is more than double from initial estimates and raises major concerns about the integrity of Arizona’s voter rolls just weeks before the upcoming election. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes announced the error, which affects more Republicans than Democrats, but provided little transparency on the root cause or immediate solution.

In response to this alarming discovery, @AZGOP Chair @GinaSwoboda issued the following statement:

“Secretary of State Adrian Fontes has repeatedly demonstrated a complete inability to execute the core functions of his position. The public, impacted stakeholders, and the Arizona Supreme Court were misled as to the extent of the issue and its effect on Arizona’s voter registration records.

The AZGOP demands that Secretary Fontes IMMEDIATELY make public the SQL query used to determine the voter records impacted by this error and that his office IMMEDIATELY deliver the list of impacted voters to all 15 county recorders.

Secretary Fontes’ desire for a top-down system continues to shut out our county recorders who are the ONLY officials empowered by Arizona statute to process voter registration record changes.

This is a sad day for transparency.

The voters of Arizona have a total loss of confidence in Secretary Fontes. The AZGOP will continue to work toward transparency throughout our election process.

A message to our voters from your chair: Do NOT allow these people to dissuade you from voting.

We. Are. Winning. VOTE!”

(The Gateway Pundit, 9/30/2024)  (Archive)

(Timeline editor’s note: The Washington Post article reveals more of the phone conversation between Hobbs, Fontes, and Mayes. I managed to find an archived copy and thought I would highlight some of what was said.) 

Arizona’s Democratic leaders knew they had no good options when they jumped on a phone call this month. They had just learned tens of thousands of residents had been registered to vote for decades, even though there was no record they had provided proof of citizenship — a requirement under state law.

Their predicament was “an urgent, a dire situation,” Gov. Katie Hobbs said, according to audio of the call obtained by The Washington Post. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said critics would “beat us up no matter what the hell we do.” Attorney General Kris Mayes worried they would be accused of rigging the 2024 election in a crucial state.

“When this goes public, it is going to have all of the conspiracy theorists in the globe — in the world — coming back to re-litigate the past three elections, at least in Arizona,” Hobbs said. “And it’s going to validate all of their theories about illegal voting in our elections, even though we all know that’s not true.”

…

“Think about all of the 82-year-olds in wheelchairs who are not going to be able to make it to the polls and sure as hell aren’t going to, like, be able to find their f—ing driver’s licenses or birth certificates in time,” said Mayes, the attorney general.

…

“They’re going to beat us up no matter what the hell we do, no matter what the hell we say.”

…

Hobbs noted “conspiracy theorists” could run wild with the situation and said they needed to be “as proactive as possible to look like we are taking every single action possible to shore up the confidence in our voting system.”

“If I was in your shoes, secretary, I would take those 148,000 voters and move them to fed-only and do everything I could to provide the resources for the counties to deal with that additional burden and to ensure the confidence in the system,” said Hobbs. “I’m sure that there’s a very small percentage of those voters that are not actually eligible.”

…

Mayes rebuffed that idea, noting the list included more Republicans than Democrats.

“If we do what you’re talking about, we’re talking about disenfranchising probably tens of thousands of Republican voters,” Mayes said, emphasizing the political heat they would take for such a move.

Fontes sided with Mayes, saying, “I have no intention of notifying 148,000 voters at this stage of the game that they have to scramble around when the state of Arizona has been providing them full ballots all this time.”

September 30, 2024 – Matt Taibbi speaks at “Rescue the Republic” event in Washington, DC

Independent journalist, Matt Taibbi delivered a strong speech at the recent ‘Rescue the Republic’ event. Taibbi outlines the issue of a lost fourth estate, where most common media have aligned with institutional systems to betray their original intent. The media now operates in a manner to control and shape information in order to shape public opinion to the benefit of their paymasters.

Known for his sharp critiques of power, all power, and willing to put himself at the forefront in opposition to any system that fails to represent traditional liberal values, Matt Taibbi discusses the importance of free speech, media integrity, and holding institutions accountable in today’s polarized political landscape. He speaks honestly, forthrightly and without pretense as he delivers remarks. [Salty language alert] WATCH:

September 30, 2024 – Whistleblower informs House Oversight about US intelligence uncovering verified links between the CCP and VP candidate Tim Walz

In the letter to Secretary Mayorkas, the Committee states:

“If a state governor and major political party’s nominee for Vice President of the United States has been a witting or unwitting participant in the CCP’s efforts to weaken our nation, this would strongly suggest that there are alarming weaknesses in the federal government’s effort to defend the United States from the CCP’s political warfare.”

The Committee also writes:

“We have learned of the emphasis the CCP has placed on influencing subnational government leaders, including state governors,” said the Committee in its letter. “The information required of DHS by the Committee’s subpoena will inform the Committee’s understanding of how successful the CCP has been in waging political warfare in and against the United States, how effectively federal agencies are addressing the communist regime’s campaign, and what reforms are necessary to counter this threat.”

October 1, 2024 – PACE hearing on Julian Assange’s detention and conviction and their chilling effects on human rights

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

Emhoff has been previously dubbed by Democrats as a ‘wife guy’ and a ‘mensch’, a Yiddish term for an honorable, kind man. (Credit: Daily Mail)

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)

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!

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

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

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.

2024-10-15 Nathan Wade Depo… by jmanship

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.

October 16, 2024 – Grand jury indicts New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice for case interference involving her husband

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.

NEW: The WHO and AstraZeneca, along with global “health” leaders, are funding top universities to train 10,000 future doctors on how “climate change” is increasing cancers, cardiovascular disease, and mental illness—completely ignoring the impact of the COVID vaccine they forced on people. Remember when they said, “If you don’t want to lose your job, you must get the vaccine”? Or how you couldn’t travel, eat at a restaurant, or even go to McDonald’s without showing your vaccine papers?

October 20, 2024 – Elon Musk calls out legacy mainstream media for actively encouraging his assassination as well as Donald Trump’s

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.”

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

President Donald Trump speaks with Gloria Guillen, the mother of Vanessa Guillen, a Fort Hood soldier found dead after disappearing from Fort Hood, Texas, in the Oval Office on July 30, 2020. (Credit: Jim Watson/AFP/Getty Images)

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.

Timeline editor’s note: The Atlantic is owned by a company called Emerson Collective. The president and founder of Emerson is Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs. After the publication of a piece titled “The Great (Fake) Child-Sex-Trafficking Epidemic” dated December 9, 2021, a photo emerged showing Ghislaine Maxwell and Laurene Powell Jobs in bathing suits laughing together on a couch. 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”

The Center for Countering Digital Hate’s STAR Framework is a blueprint for policymakers to combat online harms and fortify democracy in the digital age.  (Credit: CCDH website)

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.

The Atlantic is owned by a company called Emerson Collective. The president and founder of Emerson is Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple founder Steve Jobs. After the publication of a piece titled “The Great (Fake) Child-Sex-Trafficking Epidemic” dated December 9, 2021, a photo emerged showing Ghislaine Maxwell and Laurene Powell Jobs in bathing suits laughing together on a couch. Perhaps The Atlantic’s motivation to lie and hurt Trump’s chance of becoming president, is his promise to release the Epstein list.

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 – 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 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 27, 2024 – Mainstream Media launches all-out ‘Trump Hitler’ blitzkrieg with 5,500 stories in one week…just before the presidential election

This week, the far-left corporate media hate machine unleashed a ‘blitzkrieg’ of propaganda against the American people, a clear sign of desperation as polls increasingly point toward a favorable outcome for former President Trump this November.

New data from Bloomberg shows the story count for “Trump Hitler” in MSM jumped to a mindboggling 5,500 this week – the most massive total count in the ten years Deep State muppets in MSM have called Trump a Hitler/Nazi. This is a clear indication that Biden-Obama-Harris radicals and their billionaire funders are getting increasingly desperate.

On X, conservative commentator Liz Churchill showed MSM’s information war against the American people in headlines.

The blitzkrieg of hate by Democrats started with Kamala Harris…

Harris’ accusation that Trump “wants generals like Hitler had” is based on a hearsay claim from Gen. John Kelly. This is the same man that Trump fired while in office for incompetence. The same man that claimed in 2023 that Trump called military casualties “suckers” and “losers.” There is no proof to verify any of Kelly’s assertions.

Democrats defaulting to the ‘Trump is Hitler’ playbook are signs of desperation, especially after this…

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 and Jenna Wang 1989-1990 (Credit: Jenna Wang)

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

Ronald Rowe, Jr, (l) Acting Director of the U.S. Secret Service and Paul Abbate, Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, arrive to testify on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump during a joint hearing with the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee on July 30, 2024. (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)

November 4, 2024 – Fired CBS reporter Catherine Herridge reveals how network killed Hunter Biden story: ‘I felt sick’

CBS News went to great lengths to squash correspondent Catherine Herridge’s reporting about the Hunter Biden laptop just weeks before the 2020 election, the award-winning investigative journalist claimed.

In her bombshell allegation, Herridge revealed she brought evidence to CBS News executive Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews and “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell in early October 2020 that the laptop contained material about “a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm,” along with business texts and emails from the son of Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

But later that month, Herridge wrote that she was shocked to see “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl say the laptop “couldn’t be verified” during a tense interview with then-President Donald Trump.

“As I watched the broadcast, I felt sick,” Herridge, who was controversially fired by the Tiffany Network in February, wrote Sunday night in her recently launched newsletter.

“I knew the laptop records could be vetted and confirmed.”

Before Stahl’s segment aired, she was contacted by Ciprian-Matthews asking her if she had “confirmed reporting” on the Hunter Biden story for O’Donnell’s broadcast.

Herridge assured the executive that her extensive reporting included “working the phones, reaching out to people on the Hunter Biden emails for corroboration and cross-referencing court records.”

“I told Ciprian-Matthews the vetted materials included a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm, emails with Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski as well as Hunter Biden text messages,” she said.

“Asked by Ciprian-Matthews if there was a ‘Hunter connection,’ I responded, ‘Yes, all of them,’” she wrote.

Herridge said that she then provided some of the vetted records directly to Ciprian-Matthews.

But her reporting was never aired.

“I don’t know at this point what happened,” Herridge said.

The journalist noted that based on her experience at the network, she found it odd that CBS News did not task the investigative unit in October 2020 to develop more reporting on the laptop. (Read more: New York Post, 11/4/2024)  (Archive)

November 8, 2024 – Bill Barr reveals how terrified the Deep State is of the American people

(Credit: Revolver News)

The Deep State’s go-to guy is scrambling to get back into President Trump’s good graces. Bill Barr, one of the most disloyal AGs on record, is suddenly back—and wow, has he changed his tune?

Barr went from dismissing Trump as “toast” under the Biden regime’s sham charges to now urging them to drop everything, citing the unmistakable voice of the American people. Yes, we spoke—loud and clear—and Barr’s backpedaling shows just how rattled the Deep State is by the power of Americans coming together en masse.

Nothing scares these unelected bureaucrats more than seeing their psyops, schemes, and propaganda backfire, forcing them to realize, “Crap, we’ve lost power.” You can see it clearly in Barr’s new calls for the regime to drop all charges—a statement that reads like a white flag blowing in the wind.

Fox News:

Former Attorney General Bill Barr, who served in President-elect Trump’s first administration, is calling on prosecutors at the state and federal levels to dismiss the pending legal cases against Trump before he takes office once again.

Barr told Fox News Digital that voters were well aware of all the allegations against Trump when electing him to a second term in office on Tuesday, and that it is in the country’s best interest for prosecutors to listen to them.

“The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump, and decisively chosen him to lead the country for the next four years,” Barr said. “They did that with full knowledge of the claims against him by prosecutors around the country and I think Attorney General Garland and the state prosecutors should respect the people’s decision and dismiss the cases against President Trump now.”

Barr asserted that the legal theories in some of the cases already had been “greatly weakened by a series of court decisions,” and that the matters “have now been extensively aired and rejected by the American people.”

It seems like Bill is trying to sound like a Trump ally. But not so fast. Let’s take a look back, not so long ago, when Barr was busy doing the Deep States dirty work, pretending that the sham charges against President Trump were actually valid and had merit and that President Trump was “toast” as a result.

Things get really interesting when you look at the “old” Barr and the “new” Barr. It looks like the “fat lady” is singing a new song today.

Jeff Clark:

Let’s compare Old Barr and New Barr:

Old Barr said Trump was likely “toast” over the “solid,” “very damning” Jack Smith documents case indictment. That’s the clip on the left.

New Barr (trying to curry favor with Trump and return to his good graces) says that all of the federal cases against Trump are “weak” and were “climbed out on a limb.” That’s the clip on the right.

See how this works? This is how much of DC works. Supposed experts and turncoats give silly predictions for political reasons. And then later pretend they never predicted what they’d originally predicted. (Reminiscent of 1984’s “we’ve always been at war with East Asia” revisionism.)

Why does Fox keep putting Barr on? He speaks with forked tongue.

November 8, 2024 – Convicted meme warrior Doug Mackey names Deep State operatives that Trump must fire

Unjustly convicted meme warrior Douglass Mackey—targeted by the Biden regime and charged with “election interference” for nothing more than sharing a satirical anti-Hillary meme—has taken a brave stand against the Deep State, who came after him with both barrels. Mackey is now exposing the operatives who lurk in the shadows, doing their dirty work under the cover of darkness.

As President Trump prepares to reclaim the White House after a historic landslide victory and seriously drain the swamp, Mackey, like every other patriotic American, knows this fight will take all hands on deck. In a bold and courageous move, Mackey took to X to launch a new series, naming the lesser-known Deep State players who often fly under the radar but manage to inflict some of the most devastating damage.

In his bold opening post, Doug Mackey wasted no time naming William Sweeney—James Comey’s loyal lackey—as the first Deep State operative President Trump must fire. Sweeney is the man who spearheaded the war against Trump supporters in New York City and took down many decent folks, simply because they dissented against the regime. (Revolver News, 11/15/2024)

Doug Mackey:

I will drop the first Deep State name that must be purged:

WILLIAM SWEENEY, James Comey’s henchman and the man in charge of the FBI’s New York Field Office.

This man was in charge of the Witch Hunt against Trump supporters in New York City

Time to drop the second Deep State name that must be blacklisted from Trump 2.0:

SETH DUCHARME, a Trump appointee and the acting US Attorney who kicked off the weaponization of the Justice Department by rubber-stamping the Biden regime’s assault on free speech by launching the prosecution against me.

To add insult to injury, DuCharme also assaulted the principle of anonymous speech, which is as American as apple pie, stating in a congratulatory DOJ press release that “With Mackey’s arrest, we serve notice that those who would subvert the democratic process in this manner cannot rely on the cloak of Internet anonymity to evade responsibility for their crimes. They will be investigated, caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” (https://justice.gov/opa/pr/social-media-influencer-charged-election-interference-stemming-voter-disinformation-campaign)

DuCharme also wholeheartedly endorsed the Deep State’s assault on free speech disguised as concern for “misinformation/disinformation,” stating that, “There is no place in public discourse for lies and misinformation to defraud citizens of their right to vote.”

Notably, DuCharme is already rushing to regime media to trash President Trump’s choice of attorney general, @mattgaetz, to provide them with juicy quotes in an article in Bloomberg labeling Gaetz “putrid.”

November 8, 2024 – ‘Shut It Down’: Vivek Ramaswamy talks To Tucker about ‘mega reorganization’ of federal bureaucracy

Former 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy spoke to political commentator and Daily Caller Co-Founder Tucker Carlson about the “mega reorganization” of federal bureaucracy in an interview released Friday.

President-elect Donald Trump swept all seven battleground states, won the popular vote and achieved a Republican majority in the Senate. Ramaswamy detailed how the incoming administration could eliminate and separate federal agencies from Washington, D.C. to make systemic change.

“I think many of those agencies should not exist. Many of them that do continue to exist absolutely should be moved to other parts of the country,” he told Carlson.

Ramaswamy said the Office of the Surgeon General and the U.S. Department of Agriculture should not be in D.C. He also named the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services among those in need of major reforms.

“I think you’re wrongfully insulated in Washington, D.C.,” Ramaswamy said before mentioning that the U.S. Department of Education should be eliminated entirely.

“I wouldn’t want to start this process of just saying, okay, let’s move them out of Washington, D.C., as some sort of polite, genteel way of avoiding and sidestepping the thing that we actually need to do, which is bring a jackhammer and a chainsaw to the whole thing,” he added.

“But even those that do continue to exist, you would actually have a lot more accountability to the people and probably even some kind of stimulus, if you will, in parts of the country that wouldn’t mind a little bit of that growth getting out of D.C. and come into their own backyard,” Ramaswamy said.

November 12, 2024 – Jeremy Bash, signatory to the ‘Letter of 51’ suggests uniformed military and CIA should disobey Trump’s orders

November 12, 2024 – Trump ‘Warrior Board’ would purge ‘woke Generals’ from US military leadership

According to Woodward’s book, “Peril,” General Milley was so fearful that Trump might spark war that he made secret calls to his Chinese counterpart promising a heads-up should Trump decide to attack. (Credit: public domain)

After years of feminizing the US military through DEI initiatives, a new executive order under consideration by the Trump transition team would establish a “warrior board” of retired senior military personnel which would be granted the power to review three- and four-star officers and recommend any removals of those deemed unfit for leadership.

A draft review of the Executive Order seen by the Wall Street Journal could fast-track generals and admirals found to be “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” given President-elect Donald Trump’s past vow to fire “woke generals” who have promoted diversity among the ranks at the expense of military readiness.

As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon’s regular promotion system, signaling across the military that he intends to purge a number of generals and admirals. 

The draft order says it aims to establish a review that focuses “on leadership capability, strategic readiness, and commitment to military excellence.” The draft doesn’t specify what officers need to do or present to show if they meet those standards. The draft order originated with one of several outside policy groups collaborating with the transition team, and is one of numerous executive orders under review by Trump’s team, a transition official said. -WSJ

The board would be made up of retired generals and noncommissioned officers, who would send their recommendations to Trump. Those identified for removal would be retired at their current rank within 30 days. (Read more: Zero Hedge, 11/12/2024)  (Archive)

November 13, 2024 – Layoffs, liquidation and ratings collapse, the legacy media’s post-election reckoning

The repercussions of last week’s presidential election is sending shockwaves through a number of legacy media outlets which are now being downsized, put up for sale or retreating from the public square after years of actively agitating against president-elect Donald Trump.

However, presidential politics alone aren’t the only reason for the sudden, pronounced decline in audience.

Corporate media outlets like CNN are laying off hundreds of staffers, including some of their top stars, following poor ratings on election night that saw the network trailing rivals MSNBC and Fox News.

But the blame is being laid at the feet of former viewers who no longer believe what the network is telling them.

Other corporate media platforms, like the Los Angeles Times whose owner just fired the entire editorial board and promised to create a new “fair & balanced” one, are distancing themselves from what has largely been a left-wing echo chamber.

MSNBC, whose hosts have been reliable daily sources of anti-Trump content for years, has seen its ratings tumble by 54% in prime time following Trump’s decisive election victory.

Now there’s talk that Comcast is considering putting MSNBC up for sale.

Even more remarkable is the decision of large mainstream outlets like the Guardian to withdraw from X (formerly Twitter) because their narrative can be challenged in real time via the platform’s Community Notes feature.

There’s a certain irony when when a legacy media outlet chooses to withdraw from one of the least censored social media platforms because it cannot peddle misinformation without being publicly corrected.

November 13, 2024 -The G7 and G20 agreed to a new pandemic strategy called the “100-Day Mission” that calls for lockdowns and forced vaccines

“People will say to me, ‘Surely we’re not going to lock down again.’ But there is a new pandemic strategy that’s come out of COVID. It’s called the 100-day mission. And this is signed by the G7 and G20, and so supported by the scientific community in North America and Europe. And the idea is, next time we have a pandemic, we lock down for 100 days and we have a vaccine that’s ready for mass immunization at 100 days. That’s an incredible period of time to do safety studies. They’re going to have to reevaluate the way that RCTs and safety signals are understood to do that. And then, something that’s not stated explicitly is how do you get people to take that? Well, you’re going to probably rely on the digital infrastructure that we saw with digital IDs and certificates. And so, I think that we have this – I call it a lockdown doctrine – that’s been developed out of the pandemic, and it is our default position.”

November 13, 2024 – Key lawmaker reveals phone companies dispute FBI testimony on January 6 pipe bombs suspect

Steve D’Antuono (Credit: CNN)

Cellular carriers have told Congress they possess intact phone usage data from the vicinity where two pipe bombs were planted during the Jan. 6 incident, directly disputing FBI testimony that agents couldn’t identify a suspect because the phone data was corrupted, a key House chairman tells Just the News.

The revelations from Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee, adds new intrigue to a debate that has gripped Washington for nearly four years: Why can’t the FBI with so much evidence and manpower identify the suspect who planted the explosive devices at the Democrat and Republican Party headquarters hours before the Capitol was breached.

“In the days and weeks following January 6, 2021, the FBI opened an investigation into the pipe bomber and attempted to identify the suspect by analyzing cell phone data linked to the area surrounding the RNC and DNC,” Loudermilk told Just the News.

“In June 2023, the former Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, Steve D’Antuono, who oversaw the pipe bomb investigation, said that the FBI received corrupted data from one of the cell carriers and that it most likely contained the identity of the pipe bomber. Given the significance of this information, my Subcommittee sent letters to the three major cell carriers, asking them to respond to Mr. D’Antuono’s claim of corrupted data,” he said.

“Every major cell carrier responded and confirmed that they did not provide the FBI corrupted data,” Loudermilk said.

“Additionally every major cell carrier confirmed they were never notified that the FBI had any issues accessing the data. This contradictory testimony raises some serious questions about the status of the investigation into the pipe bomber and about why the case remains unsolved nearly four years later,” he added.

Last year, D’Antuono told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI did not a receive complete phone data from telephone carriers because some of it had been corrupted.

“We did a complete geofence. We have complete data. Not complete, because there’s some data that was corrupted by one of the providers, not purposely by them, right. It just — unusual circumstance that we have corrupt data from one of the providers,” D’Antuono testified in a transcribed interview.

“But for that day, which is awful because we don’t have that information to search. So could it have been that provider? Yeah, with our luck, you know, with this investigation it probably was, right,” he said.

D’Antuono served as the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office until he stepped down in late 2022. A lawyer for the retired agent did not immediately return an email Wednesday seeking comment.

November 13, 2024 – Turley: A concise statement that shows why the public is rejecting mainstream media

November 13, 2024 – FCC Commissioner sends letter to tech giants on their improper role in censorship

Brendan Carr (Wikimedia Commons)

Brendan Carr, the Commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, penned a letter to the CEOs of Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft on the central roles their companies have played in the censorship cartel.

The four page letter calls out the tech giants Facebook, Apple, Google, and Microsoft for participating in what he describes as “improper conduct.”

Carr wrote, “Big Tech companies silenced Americans for doing nothing more than exercising their First Amendment rights.” Carr accused the tech giants of “working in concert with so-called media monitors and others – to defund, demonetize and otherwise put out of business news outlets and organizations that dared to deviate from an approved narrative.”

Carr also pointed out how the tech giants were “participating in a censorship cartel that included not only technology and social media companies but advertising, marketing, and so-called “fact-checking” organizations as well as the Biden-Harris administration itself.”

Carr goes on, “The relevant conduct extended from removing or blocking social media posts to labeling whole websites or apps as “untrustworthy” or “high-risk” in an apparent effort to suppress their information and viewpoints, including through efforts to delist them, lower their rankings, or harm their profitability.

Says Carr, “This censorship cartel is an affront to Americans’ constitutional freedoms and must be completely dismantled.”

Commissioner Carr then describes the damage organizations like News Guard” that targets conservative and independent media have had on society today.

November 14, 2024 – Colorado GOP drops audio exposing Secretary of State’s office covering up voting machine password leak

The Colorado GOP has released an audio that reveals Secretary of State Jena Griswold and her team deliberately concealed the exposure of sensitive voting machine passwords to avoid a media firestorm.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Griswold’s office inadvertently published approximately 600 BIOS passwords for election equipment across 63 of Colorado’s 64 counties, according to the Colorado GOP affidavit.

This alarming breach, which first came to light in August, is believed to have occurred as early as June—right before the state’s primary election. Surprisingly, these sensitive passwords remained accessible on her website until late October.

Griswold did not notify the county clerks of this breach, and they only found out when the Colorado GOP released it.

During an interview with Kyle Clark of 9News, Griswold attempted to downplay the severity of the leak, referring to the exposed passwords as “partial.” She claimed that they were only one of two passwords required to operate the election systems, a dubious assertion that does little to assuage fears about election security.

Critics point out that unlike the redacted, outdated passwords from the case of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, Griswold’s passwords were not outdated and posed a real risk.

The Colorado GOP’s audio recordings, released Thursday, reveal a disturbing conversation among Griswold’s staff, where they strategized on how to avoid a “media storm” over the breach.

In one particularly telling exchange, Deputy Secretary Christopher Beall admitted, “We were not going to tell the clerks because doing so would have created the media storm we’re now facing.”

Transcript:

Adams County Clerk, Josh Zygielbaum: What level of training do these individuals have on our specific servers and other equipment that qualifies them to do this work?

Christopher Beall: All of these individuals are cybersecurity technicians. Your equipment is off-the-shelf equipment loaded with election software. In all respects, it is no different from any other computer equipment. We do not believe more training is needed than what we have already provided for changing passwords on the equipment.

Josh Zygielbaum: Second thing, Chris—honestly, I’m not confident in this process. What the Secretary’s office should have done upon discovering this issue was deploy people immediately to change the passwords instead of keeping it a secret. It’s completely unacceptable that this is our process now, five days before the election. What guarantee do we have that these people won’t crash our system somehow?

Christopher Beall: Josh, I appreciate that you’re upset.

Josh Zygielbaum: I’m not upset, Chris. I’m pissed off. It’s really hard not answering media questions the way I actually want to.

Christopher Beall: Okay. All I can do is be as transparent as possible. We were not going to tell counties because doing so would have created the media storm we’re now facing.

Josh Zygielbaum: That’s bullsh—t, Chris.

Christopher Beall: We are sending staff to change passwords. I believe in Adams County we’re sending someone from our staff. Regardless, there is no possibility that these password changes will crash the system. This is at the BIOS level and has nothing to do with operating software. Josh, suggesting otherwise is irresponsible.

Josh Zygielbaum: It’s not irresponsible. We’re in the middle of a presidential election, and we’re having someone come in and mess with our server. Small setting changes have caused major issues in the past.

The Republican Party is now calling for Griswold’s immediate resignation, accusing her of jeopardizing the integrity of Colorado’s elections.

November 14, 2024 – Pennsylvania’s Bucks County Dem Commissioners openly defy PA Supreme Court ruling and count illegal ballots to help Bob Casey

#BucksCounty Democrat Commissioners violate the rule of law and ignore PA Supreme Court ruling!

Democrat Commissioners Diane Marseglia and Bob Harvie voted today to count illegal ballots, against PA Supreme Court ruling, in an attempt to aid former Senator Bob Casey.

“…precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws anytime they want. For me if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it.” – Diane Marseglia

Thank you to Republican Commissioner Gene DiGirolamo for making a motion to uphold the law!

Our attorneys are working with attorneys from the PAGOP and RNC to address this matter.

UPDATE:

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is ordering Boards of Elections throughout the state to follow its previous rulings and not count “mail-in and absentee ballots that fail to comply” with the state election code. (Breitbart, 11/18/2024)

November 14, 2024 – The U.S. Constitution offers Trump a way to bypass Senate confirmation of his cabinet choices

SECRET: If you were listening closely you might have heard Trump mention a ‘secret’ he had with Speaker Johnson. It is abundantly clear that if Trump wants to put his dream team together he’s going to need to make a BUNCH of recess appointments. The Senate is unlikely to agree to adjourn so he can use his authority to adjourn both chambers as long as Johnson cooperates. Is that the ‘secret’ Trump mentioned?

Under Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, the President has the authority to adjourn Congress in the case of a disagreement between the House and Senate over the time of adjournment. It’s a power that has never been used, and its scope remains relatively untested. Here’s a quick summary of the conditions that would be needed:

One House Must Request Adjournment:

One of the chambers (in this case, likely the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Johnson) would formally seek to adjourn.

The Other House Must Refuse: The other chamber (in this scenario, the Senate) must then refuse to agree to this request. If this condition is met, it opens the door for the President to step in and resolve the disagreement by adjourning both chambers.

Once Congress is adjourned, the President could use the recess to make “recess appointments” under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. This would allow Trump to install his preferred Cabinet members without Senate confirmation.

November 15, 2024 – Trump-hating Antifa member and online extremist is a US Secret Service Agent

Thomas Jack Hamil (Credit: Justice Report)

The Secret Service is investigating an agent who has been accused of having Antifa and anarchist ties and who allegedly lashed out at Trump as someone with “Nazi-ass policies” and called his supporters “chodes” and “neo-Nazis” in several social media posts.

The posts clearly call into question whether this agent can provide adequate protection to President-elect Trump during the transition of power, the inauguration, and afterward. The agent, from what I’ve been told, has about six years of experience and is in Phase 2 of his career is assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris’s protective detail.

After internet sleuths and an online publication called Justice Report.net published details of what they described are the agent’s online posts, a Secret Service spokesman tells me that agency officials heard about the accusations and have “modified” the agent’s duties and launched an internal probe into the social media posts.

(Credit: Justice Report)

“The U.S. Secret Service recently became aware of alleged social media posts by an employee that have prompted an internal review,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugilielmi tells me in a statement. “We are taking this matter seriously, and this employee’s assigned duties have been modified while this review is underway.” “These comments in no way represent the views or values of the Secret Service, and we maintain and enforce rigorous codes of conduct governing employee actions both on and off duty,” he added.

After the social media posts came to light, the agent deleted his accounts so any internal agency review would need to verify those deleted accounts as his. That’s apparently why he hasn’t been disciplined more severely and swiftly, although there’s a precedent, which I describe below, for disciplining agents while continuing to pay them until they hit certain retirement dates so they can retire with full pay and retirement benefits.

The controversy over the agent’s anti-Trump social media posts as the nation prepares for a transfer of power to Trump echo a similar incident in early 2017, just before Trump’s first inauguration. At that time, a senior female agent, Kerry O’Grady, suggested in an October 2016 Facebook post that she didn’t want to take a bullet for Trump if he was elected. I broke that story in early 2017. O’Grady was the leader of the Denver Field Office at the time.

O’Grady was not disciplined for the Facebook post until after I wrote this piece: Washington Examiner

The Secret Service placed her on paid administrative leave for more than two and a half years, giving her what amounted to a paid vacation until she reached a retirement milestone in early 2019 even though she had reached her settlement with the Department of Homeland Security in Oct. 2017.

Here’s that stor[y] that I wrote in 2019: 

Justicereport.net has described the agent who made the Nazi references about Trump and his supporters as a devout follower of “antifascist shock jock Robert Evans.” Evans, a former editor at the humor website Cracked.com, has written for an online outlet called Bellingcat and has operated several podcasts. In mid-2020, Evans joined a class-action lawsuit against the City of Portland for police use of force against the Antifa-led protests responding to the death of George Floyd.

The issues surrounding the latest accusations related to an agent’s inappropriate online media posts raises serious and ongoing questions about the internal vetting and hiring standards at the Secret Service. Historically, USSS leadership handled hiring decisions, but in recent years human resource officials with no protective experience in the agency have been making the hiring decisions with DEI priorities taking precedent over other security qualifications/experience, according to several sources in the Secret Service community.

I’m told the agency, over the last decade, has dramatically lowered standards for drug use and physical fitness issues that previously would have been disqualifying. The agency also doesn’t require mental health screening for prospective recruits, an issue that several whistleblowers have repeatedly raised a problem in an era marked by lower hiring standards.

I’ve been working on this story all week, but @AMrAndyNgo, an intrepid reporter who provided outstanding coverage of the 2020 Antifa riots in Portland and Seattle was able to break the issue about the agent’s alleged social media posts late Friday afternoon, citing “internet sleuths” who first discovered the incendiary online comments.

November 15, 2024 – Democrats are trying to form a “shadow government” to defy and undermine President Trump’s authority

BREAKING: The Biden-Harris Administration is attempting to empower unelected federal bureaucrats to dictate agency policy in the incoming Trump Administration.

The Biden-Harris Administration issued a memo directing the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to establish a Task Force on Scientific Integrity and publish a report on federal agencies’ scientific integrity policies. Recent reporting indicates that the outgoing administration is using ‘scientific integrity’ to proactively respond to and hamstring the incoming Trump Administration’s ability to implement its own executive agendas and discredit scientific information and views that are not in keeping with their agenda.

In letters to the heads of the EPA and HHS, Chairman Comer requests information to assist with the Committee’s investigation and ensure continued accountability within the Executive Branch.

Even if Congressman Nickel is being rhetorical, this is a massively problematic signal to the American people.

The Democrats’ call for a “shadow government” in the American context implies extreme disloyalty to a duly elected president who is the head of the executive branch.

This follows upon Trump sabotage such as illegal campaign spying, the Russia hoax, the dead-end Mueller investigation, the Ukraine impeachment hoax, the J6 sham impeachment, an FBI raid, two illegitimate Special Counsel cases, endless investigations, non-stop lawfare, incessant negative media coverage, and two assassination attempts — leading to a major victory for Donald Trump in a free and fair election.

The “Democratic Party” is not even waiting until Trump is sworn in to imply that his presidency is illegitimate and the policies he intends to pursue are unconstitutional. They are neither.

The American People see this for what it is. A major slap in the face to voters who want to see change in Washington, and an arguably treasonous call for “resistance” to a duly elected president.

November 15, 2024 – Biden’s Cabinet nominees are incompetent compared to Trump’s

As the media and Democrats attack Trump’s nominees—RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Gaetz etc—let’s take a look at how unqualified Biden’s nominees are for their jobs –

Xavier Becerra, HHS – not a doctor, he’s a lawyer, ex-attorney general of California

Jared Bernstein, Chair of Council of Economic Advisors – not an economist, Bachelor’s degree in music, masters in sociology

Pete Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary – no transportation background, Mayor of Indiana, “pothole Pete”

Mayorkas, DHS Secretary – no security background, lawyer, Asst U.S. attorney, Obama transition team

Jennifer Granholm, Energy Secy – no energy background, Michigan Governor

Gina Raimondo, Commerce Secretary – No trade background, Gov of Rhode Island

Deb Haaland, Interior Secy – New Mexico Congressman

And just for kicks…Bill Nye, the environmentalist “Science Guy” — no background in environmentalism or science, he’s a mechanical engineer and comedy writer

November 15, 2024 – In Bill Clinton’s new book “Citizen” he denies ever going to Epstein Island and had “no inkling of the crimes he was committing”

Former president Bill Clinton writes about his links to pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein in his upcoming memoir, Citizen.. (Credit: Getty Images)

Former President Bill Clinton aka “Doe 36” has finally broken his long-held silence about his ties to former financier and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

The UK Sun on Friday obtained excerpts from the 42nd president’s new book, “Citizen,” which he describes some of his interactions with the infamous p*dophile. However, his descriptions of their meetings contradict other credible reports regarding the two men’s relationship.

In the book, Clinton admits that he flew on Epstein’s private jet, the Lolita Express. However, he claimed the plane was for pure business purposes, not pleasure.

According to Wild Bill, Epstein let him use the plane to support Clinton’s foundation, and they spoke about economics and politics during the flights. Clinton then claimed that he and Epstein only met two more times afterward: once in Clinton’s office in Harlem and the other in Epstein’s New York home.

Clinton, though, denied ever visiting Little Saint James, Epstein’s private island. As TGP readers know, this is where the p*dophile carried out many of his sexual misdeeds.

He also blasted Epstein as “odd” while claiming he was unaware of the financier’s many crimes.

“I had always thought Epstein was odd but had no inkling of the crimes he was committing,” Clinton wrote.

“He hurt a lot of people, but I knew nothing about it, and by the time he was first arrested in 2005, I had stopped contact with him. I’ve never visited his island,” the former president added.

Clinton went on to write that he regretted ever meeting Epstein at all despite reaping benefits from the relationship. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 11/16/2024)  (Archive)

November 17, 2024 – Former CDC official says it’s “extremely dangerous” for RFK Jr. to push the idea that getting “vaccinated” should be “totally up to the individual”

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Acting Director Dr. Richard Besser raised concerns Sunday over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) because he advocates for optional vaccinations, though he acknowledged that no immunization is 100% protective.

President-elect Donald Trump announced his nomination of Kennedy as the leader of HHS on Nov. 14, stating he believes the former Independent presidential candidate, who has been an outspoken advocate against the COVID-19 vaccines and others, is prepared to restore “the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic.” On ABC’s “This Week,” host Martha Raddatz asked the former acting director if he had concerns that Kennedy would push to “get rid” of vaccines altogether.

“Well, it’s not a matter of getting rid of them. No vaccine is 100% protective. When when you send your kid to school, fully vaccinated, you don’t want to have to worry that the child sitting next to them, that their parents chose not to vaccinate their child, because once the level of vaccination in a classroom drops below something like 95%, it’s a setup for diseases like measles or whooping cough to spread,” Besser said. “If there’s a child in the classroom who has an immune problem, that child is at risk.”

WATCH:

“So it’s not a matter of saying, ‘Oh, yes, you have access to your vaccines.’ It’s pushing the idea that vaccines should be something that is totally up to the individual. We have a social contract in our country. There are things we do for our own health, but there are things we do that are good for ourselves, our families and our communities. Vaccination falls into that category. Having someone who denies that in that role is extremely dangerous,” Besser concluded.

November 18, 2024 – The Georgia Court of Appeals has abruptly cancelled oral argument in the Fani Willis/Trump RICO disqualification appeal

A Grok (X AI) review of the event:

According to Grok

Did this happen The Georgia Court of Appeals has abruptly cancelled oral argument in the #FaniWillis Trump RICO disqualification appeal if so break it down for me.

Yes, this event occurred. Here’s a breakdown of the situation:
Event:
  • Date of Cancellation: November 18, 2024.
  • Event Cancelled: The oral argument in the appeal concerning the disqualification of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the RICO case against former President Donald Trump and other defendants.
Context:
  • Original Scheduling: The Georgia Court of Appeals had scheduled oral arguments for December 5, 2024, to hear Trump’s appeal regarding the decision not to disqualify Fani Willis from prosecuting the election interference case.
  • Reason for Appeal: Trump and other defendants sought to disqualify Willis based on allegations of an improper romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she hired, which they argued created a conflict of interest.
  • Judge’s Decision: Initially, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Willis could continue with the case provided Wade resigned, which he did.
Cancellation Details:
  • Announcement: The Georgia Court of Appeals announced the cancellation of the scheduled oral argument “until further order of this court,” meaning no new date has yet been set for the hearing.
  • Impact: This cancellation delays the resolution of the appeal, potentially affecting the timeline of the entire case. It could mean more time before any trial can proceed, impacting the legal proceedings related to the 2020 election interference allegations against Trump and others.
Possible Implications:
  • Delay in Case Progression: The case is likely to experience further delays as the Court of Appeals decides when or if to reschedule the oral arguments.
  • Legal Strategy: Both sides might need to adjust their legal strategies based on this development. The prosecution might continue its preparation, while the defense could see this as an opportunity to further challenge the case’s foundation or Willis’s involvement.
  • Public and Political Perception: This move might fuel discussions on social media and among political commentators about the handling of high-profile cases, the integrity of the judicial process, and the timing in relation to political events.
Reasons for Cancellation (Speculative, as no specific reason was given):
  • Administrative: Courts can cancel hearings due to scheduling conflicts, changes in judicial staff, or other procedural reasons.
  • New Evidence or Developments: Sometimes new information or legal motions can prompt a need to reassess or postpone scheduled arguments.
  • Strategic Reevaluation: Either side might request or agree to a delay for strategic reasons, like needing more time for preparation or due to external legal or political developments.
Given there’s no detailed explanation for the cancellation, these points are speculative based on typical reasons for such actions in legal contexts. The absence of a new date means that this aspect of the case remains unresolved, with ongoing implications for its progression.

November 18, 2024 – Study: Biden-Harris administration weaponized education department to ‘punish’ Christian colleges

According to the American Principles Project (APP), actions by the Department of Education have “unfairly” targeted Christian colleges and universities while ignoring Ivy League schools, the organization reported on November 18.

The report said almost 70 percent of the actions involved faith-based and career schools. APP noted those schools represent less than ten percent of students across America:

Created with the implicit purpose of advancing the Biden-Harris administration’s woke agenda, the Department’s Office of Enforcement also targeted two of the nation’s most prominent Christian universities — Grand Canyon University and Liberty University — which resulted in record-level fines worth more than all penalties imposed over the past seven years combined.

In a video dated from July, now President-elect Donald Trump promised to close the Department of Education, Breitbart News reported on November 12.

(,,,) Trump stated:

For the past four years, as the Chair of the Board at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), Linda has been a fierce advocate for Parents’ Rights, working hard at both AFPI and America First Works (AFW) to achieve Universal School Choice in 12 States, giving children the opportunity to receive an excellent Education, regardless of zip code or income.

According to the APP study, about 12 Christian colleges have been targeted with penalties or are no longer allowed to receive federal student aid.

In a statement, APP Policy Director Jon Schweppe said, “For the last four years, Democrats have been busy weaponizing every part of the federal government to target their opponents”:

While major assaults from agencies like the Department of Justice have taken most of the headlines, we should not ignore similarly corrupt efforts in other agencies as well. As our report details, the Biden-Harris Department of Education has been engaged in a long-running scheme to punish Christian colleges that are ideologically opposed to the left’s agenda. The unfair targeting of these institutions has been egregious, and it needs to stop immediately.

According to the APP announcement, the average fine for a Christian school regarding a Clery Act violation was $815,000. The organization noted those against public and private institutions were recorded at $228,571. (Read more: Breitbart News, 11/29/2024)  (Archive)

November 19, 2024 – DHS child sex trafficking hearing: One NGO raked in $600 million every 2-3 months to run the biggest child sex trafficking op in US history

House hearing blows the lid off: One NGO raked in $600 million every 2-3 months from taxpayers to run the biggest child sex trafficking op in US history!

J.J. Carrell drops it: “I spoke to a gentleman who works in DHS. He actually sends the electronic fund transfers.” Dems funneled our cash to these destroyers of civilization.

No arrests? Total outrage.

Trump’s DOGE squad needs to gut these NGOs, claw back every dime, prosecute the crooks.

No more funding evil with our money. America First means protecting kids, not trafficking them.

Highlights of House Homeland Security Committee hearing on 11/19/2024:

This week, the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement, led by Chairman Clay Higgins (R-LA), and Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability, led by Chairman Dan Bishop (R-NC), held a joint hearing to examine how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement’s (ORR) processes for handling unaccompanied alien children (UACs) who cross the Southwest border has led to an increasing number of missing and exploited children in the United States.

This hearing followed an August 2024 report by the DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG), which found that since Fiscal Year (FY) 2019, more than 291,000 UACs were not given Notices to Appear (NTA) in court. Of those 291,000, more than 90,000 were encountered in FY 2021 alone. Additionally, more than 32,000 minors who did receive NTAs failed to appear for their immigration hearing. Under the Biden-Harris administration, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has encountered more than 500,000 UACs at the Southwest border, compared to around 221,000 from FY 2017-2020.

At the hearing, Members heard from HHS whistleblower Tara Rodas about her experience with the vetting process of suspicious UAC sponsors and the lack of federal response to the concerns she raised about children being exploited by gangs, such as MS-13. Members also heard witness testimony from retired U.S. Border Patrol Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge J.J. Carrell, and counter-trafficking expert Alicia Hopper, about how criminal organizations are exploiting unaccompanied alien children for illicit organ harvesting, sex trafficking, and forced labor.

In his opening statement, Subcommittee Chairman Bishop described the systemic failure of the Biden-Harris administration to care for unaccompanied migrant children:

“The Biden-Harris administration placed political aims above the welfare of unaccompanied migrant children who crossed, or were trafficked across, the southern border––releasing unaccompanied children with inadequate vetting and follow-up to avoid the bad optics of crowded facilities.

“ORR releases children to sponsors in the United States. Thorough vetting of these sponsors is absolutely critical and morally compelled if that is the path you are going to undertake to bring these children across. Unfortunately, the Biden-Harris administration’s push to quickly release migrants resulted in countless cases of migrant children being released to sponsors with major red flags, placing children at risk of exploitation.”

In her opening statement, Rodas detailed the impact of the Biden-Harris administration’s failed open-borders policies, which have left tens of thousands of children unaccounted for and at risk of exploitation or abuse within our borders: 

“Child trafficking has evolved into an international syndicate of gangs and cartels that is highly organized and very efficient. Smugglers and traffickers, during this administration, have moved many of the more than 500,000 unaccompanied children that have flooded across the U.S. Southern border.” 

“Sadly, due to the failed open border policies of the Biden-Harris administration, we have delivered these unaccompanied children to criminals, traffickers, and members of transnational criminal organizations, who are using the UC Program as a white glove delivery service of children. These criminal sponsors are defrauding the U.S. government by using the UC Program as the logistical chain of their child trafficking operation.”

“In June of 2021, while serving at Pomona Fairplex Emergency Intake Site (EIS) as the deputy to the director of the Federal Case Management Team, I (and the team) began reporting suspicious sponsors and suspected trafficking cases. In June of 2021, we thought less than 50 children were affected. After funneling more than 8,300 children through the EIS in less than six months, we knew thousands were affected. In February of 2023 we learned from Hannah Dreier at the NYT that 85,000 children were missing. Yet no action has been taken to rescue children.”

In his first round of questioning, Subcommittee Chairman Higgins asked Hopper to detail how Biden-Harris policies have led to the exploitation of migrant children:

“This was a policy decision to step away from the strict means by which these children were monitored and controlled. And what it was replaced with was this Sponsor Care Agreement…Ms. Hopper, you have done some brilliant research on a connection between trafficking, human trafficking, south of the border, and as it networks into our country. Please expound upon what I’ve been discussing today.”

Hopper answered:

“You’re correct. The terrorists, the cartels…They do know our policies and the 94 actions that were rescinded upon in the new current administration coming in. And they actually do use our programs and the manner in which we process unaccompanied children against us. They actually use Border Patrol and refer to them as ‘Migrant Uber.’ They know once migrants cross the border, it’s one phone call away. The Border Patrol picks them up and processes them, and then they know to write the number and name of the sponsor of the child.” 

Vice Chairman Michael Guest (R-MS) questioned Carrell on illicit organ harvesting at the border and how it impacts unaccompanied children, to which Carrell replied:

“Organ harvesting is real. To think that it’s not, that… this federal government’s bringing children over, that are being lost, sexually mutilated, raped, murdered, and then we’re shocked or appalled that there could be organ harvesting. The people I’ve interviewed, multiple people—and I asked them, is this an anomaly? Is this a one-off? No. This is pervasive and is growing daily.”

Hopper also answered Rep. Guest on the topic of organ harvesting: 

“During the interview with the former Sinaloa Cartel affiliate…He expanded on the fact that these migrant children, especially if they’re traveling without their parent, there is no way to communicate whether they’ve made it through their journey or not. And if a cartel member or smuggler gets a call that there is a specific organ that they’re looking for, they will scout out those organs and especially focus on migrant children, namely for the fact that they are vulnerable, they’re unable to fight back. And, as horrid as it sounds, their organs are more intact and in better shape. So, there is no way to communicate with these children once they’ve crossed into the border, so they kind of disappear on the way.”

Representative Mike Ezell (R-MS) asked Rodas if she believed the concerns she raised while employed at HHS were taken seriously, to which Rodas answered:

“No. Sadly, I don’t. And as I was raising the alarm, along with other wonderful people who were on the site, Deb White, a fellow whistleblower, we were told we were not to be investigating the sponsors. ‘Your job is to get the child to that sponsor.’ When we had children who were going to addresses that we had already [identified] as having multiple children––and I’m talking to the boss who’s an attorney—my superior, the director, she said, ‘Terra, you need to understand at HHS, we only get sued if we keep kids in care too long. We don’t get sued by traffickers.’ That is appalling that I heard from a federal government employee regarding children who we knew were going to addresses that were already under investigation. I’ve never witnessed anything [like that]  in my whole life, and had I not seen it with my own eyes, I’m not sure I could believe it.”

Rep. Ezell continued:

“What happened as a result of you pushing the envelope?”

Rodas answered:

“I wasn’t the most popular person on the site, but when DHS whistleblower Aaron Stevenson sounded the alarm and went public in August of 2021, and I saw that they were MS-13 and 18th Street gang—my husband is from El Salvador, so I know that this is not a good thing to be giving children to MS-13. They discovered that I went to the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General and HHS’ Office of Inspector General, and it took them less than 20 days to falsely accuse me of wrongdoing, threaten me with investigation, walk me off the site––the perp walk in front of your peers––and take my badge. So that’s how much they appreciated that I was revealing that children were being sponsored by MS-13.”

November 19, 2024 – 4 key takeaways from FEMA head’s testimony after supervisor told staff to avoid houses with Trump signs

House Republicans pressed Deanne Criswell, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, about bias at FEMA after a supervisor directed staff to avoid helping Florida residents with signs supporting Donald Trump.

A FEMA supervisor, Marn’i Washington, told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida, to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid after Hurricane Milton, The Daily Wire’s Leif Le Mahieu reported. The directive reportedly prevented FEMA from offering post-hurricane aid to at least 20 homes displaying Trump signs or flags in late October and November.

Criswell announced that FEMA had fired Washington and claimed Washington acted on her own initiative in giving these orders. Yet Washington claimed that her directions were not an isolated incident. Sources inside FEMA have spoken to The Daily Signal and other outlets, also saying that the direction for FEMA staff to avoid Trump supporters was not an isolated incident.

November 20, 2024 – Michael Byrd who fatally shot J6 Ashli Babbitt, has lengthy disciplinary record that includes gun incidents

(Credit: Revolver News)

The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riots and then was promoted has a lengthy internal affairs and disciplinary record that includes firearm-related incidents, a sweeping congressional investigation has found.

The issues in Captain Michael Byrd’s background included a failed shotgun qualification test, a failed FBI background check for a weapon’s purchase, a 33-day suspension for a lost weapon and referral to Maryland state prosecutors for firing his gun at a stolen car fleeing his neighborhood, according to congressional and police documents obtained by Just the News.

Byrd’s record was uncovered during a larger House Administration Oversight Subcommittee investigation into the Capitol Police disciplinary process and was chronicled in a letter Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the panel’s chairman, sent Wednesday to the department’s chief, Thomas Manger, in which the lawmaker expressed concerns about the officer’s promotion to captain.

“This Subcommittee is dedicated to ensuring USCP has autonomy from political pressures so it can make operational and personnel decisions,” Loudermilk wrote in the letter. “However, based on the information obtained by the Subcommittee regarding USCP’s handling of Captain Byrd following January 6, 2021, and his significant disciplinary history, I have concerns about USCP’s decision to promote him to the rank of Captain.”

You can read the letter below: List of incidents:

The incidents described in Loudermilk’s letter are corroborated by congressional records and police reports that date as early as 2004 including:

  • A 2004 incident where Byrd, who was off duty, fired his weapon at a stolen vehicle as it was fleeing his residential neighborhood;
  • A 2015 “conduct unbecoming an officer” complaint filed by a fellow officer after Byrd, again off duty, confronted him while the officer was working at a high school football game in an incident with racial overtones;
  • A 33-day suspension in 2019 after Byrd left his service weapon unattended in a public Capitol Hill bathroom;
  • A failure to pass a routine background check shortly after Jan. 6 when attempting to purchase a shotgun for home protection, after the USCP worked to provide Byrd a department-issued shotgun instead, he failed the training; and
  • Three further referrals to the Capitol Police Office of Professional Responsibility for which records are reportedly missing.

Mark Schamel, the lawyer representing Byrd, did not respond several requests for comment. The U.S. Capitol Police also did not return several inquiries from Just the News. (Read more: Just the News, 11/20/2024)  (Archive)

November 22, 2024 – Megyn Kelly breaks down when Hillary Clinton started the “Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset” hoax

 

November 22, 2024 – Soros-backed ‘charities’ are aiding and abetting illegal immigration

Remember when aiding and abetting a criminal act would lead to some pretty serious consequences?

No longer, it seems — at least, if you’re a non-governmental organization (NGO) or “charity” that is helping people cross into and remain in the United States illegally. Crossing into the United States illegally is still a crime, after all — and there are a number of these organizations, tax-exempt at that, dedicated to bogging down the immigration system and making it as difficult as possible to enforce the law.

Tax-exempt organizations have spent more than $100 million since President Joe Biden took office in 2021 working to prevent the federal government from deporting illegal immigrants, according to a Washington Examiner review of tax filings.

The organizations, which include donor-advised funds shifting around millions of dollars in untraceable funds, Soros-backed philanthropies, and large legal groups, collectively spent at least $101.9 million on programs intended to aid illegal immigrants in avoiding deportation. While some of the programs paid for by these nonprofit organizations involved advocacy efforts, the vast majority were oriented toward providing immigrants with legal resources to thwart deportation.

(…) Here are some of those organizations.

La Raza Community Resource Center, an immigration nonprofit organization based out of San Francisco, was one of the biggest spenders among the groups resisting deportation efforts, disbursing $14.1 million between 2021 and 2023 for a program providing legal services to asylum-seekers and migrants facing deportation. Immigrant Justice Corps, meanwhile, is a New York-based charity that spent $20.2 million over the same period on a fellowship program placing recent college graduates at nonprofit organizations across the country to provide illegal migrants with legal services.

And:

Legal Services of New Jersey, a nonprofit organization that provides free legal representation in civil rights litigation to low-income residents of the state, was also a major force in antideportation efforts between 2021 and 2022. The organization distributed $12.5 million worth of grants over that period to help other organizations provide “legal assistance for individuals facing detention or deportation.”

Pangea Legal Services, located in San Francisco, spent over $5 million on providing representation to asylum-seekers and people who entered the country illegally between 2021 and 2023. In those years, the nonprofit organization served nearly 1,500 clients through its program, according to its tax forms.

But here’s the real kicker, and perhaps the consummate villain in this affair:

The Soros family’s Foundation to Promote Open Society donated $500,000 to the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in 2021 to support its “New Way Forward” campaign. The campaign pushed changes to the legal system that would end the automatic deportation of some criminal aliens, end the mandatory detention of illegal aliens, and decriminalize entering the U.S. without proper documentation. The Soros family’s foundation also gave the Transgender Law Center $250,000 in 2021 to “support Black LGBTQIA+ migrants through organizing and base-building, deportation defense and strategic communications.” (Read more: Red State, 11/22/2024) (Archive)

November 25, 2024 – NIH Chief confesses COVID Health Initiatives were completely made up

“I PROBABLY SHOULDN’T BE SAYING THIS OUT LOUD;” @NIH Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were “COMPLETELY MADE UP”

“I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.” Adds, “We’re all going to learn [about vaccine safety] when it’s too late,” as Pfizer & Moderna “are just getting a bunch of money… Vaccines were accelerated through the approval.”

‘We fly under the radar of being scrutinized…I don’t think I have too much to worry about.’

Trump victory “worse for the NIH.”

“It would be better for a Democrat to be in office.”

“I haven’t gotten the latest COVID shots, and I’m not going to… there’s mixed evidence about if it really does anything,” says Raja Cholan, Chief of the Health Data Standards Branch at the U.S. National Library of Medicine for The National Institutes of Health (@NIH).

Cholan, who defines the strategy for health data standards at the NIH, raised concerns about vaccine risks, particularly for younger individuals: “For people that are 30 or under, it really increases your risk for heart conditions. The data does show that… I’m close enough to 30 to where I don’t want to have a heart attack.” He added, “I probably shouldn’t be saying this out loud,” acknowledging the sensitivity of his statements around vaccine safety.

He also expressed doubts about the vaccines’ effectiveness, adding, “I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.”

Cholan linked the NIAID (@NIAIDNews) to the funding of vaccine research, alleging, “There is some evidence out that the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases… they might have funded Wuhan, a lab in Wuhan, China, to make COVID,” referencing Anthony Fauci (@Fauci) and his role in global health initiatives. “That’s where Fauci was the director. Like they might have funded some labs to do vaccine studies and disease, like to prepare for an outbreak.”

Criticizing the expedited vaccine approval process, Cholan explained, “The measles vaccine requires several rounds of approval, but the COVID-19 vaccines were accelerated through the approvals for all of us to get our boosters.” He also highlighted the financial motivations behind the vaccines, saying, “Pfizer and Moderna are just getting a bunch of money from it.”

Cholan also commented on the difficulties of implementing reform, even under an administration led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., adding, “Anything that RFK would want to do probably would just, like, wouldn’t happen,” pointing to the entrenched relationships between federal agencies, pharmaceutical companies.

@OkeefeMedia contacted Cholan for comment but did not receive a response. Prior to the release of the NIH Tapes, Cholan deleted his LinkedIn account.

 

November 25, 2024 – New January 6 video shows DC Metro officer Lila Morris out of breath after she repeatedly beat Rosanne Boyland with a police club

Tommy Tatum News published a video on Sunday of DC Metro Police Officer Lila Morris taking a break after she beat Rosanne Boyland dead on the Capitol Steps on January 6, 2021.

It’s difficult to determine whether Officer Morris’s brutal beating directly caused Rosanne Boyland’s death or was merely a contributing factor.

What is clear, however, is that the mainstream media has consistently failed to report honestly on Rosanne Boyland’s story, just as they have with so many other accounts from that tragic day.

Officer Morris was then awarded a trip to the Super Bowl for her courageous work that day.

Rosanne’s body was cremated and sent home.

(…) According to dozens of eyewitnesses and survivors, Rosanne Boyland’s death was caused by police. They can be substantiated by available video.

THIS STORY HAS BEEN INTENTIONALLY IGNORED BY THE GOVERNMENT, POLITICIANS, BIDEN REGIME AND MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

The video above was taken shortly after Rosanne and the rest of the crowd had been pushed by police down steps into a ceiling-high bone-crushing and deadly pile that cops doused with opulent amounts of pepper spray and teargas. The police would not allow anyone to help the individuals being crushed and attacked anyone who tried to help. After about ten excruciating minutes, the protesters were able to work themselves out of the pile and save each other.

Rosanne lay motionless on the steps after the pile cleared. People tried to get near her to help and it was then that she was seen being beaten brutally by Police Officer Lila Morris with a stick. See that video here:

Rosanne’s face was blue and bloody. Her body lay motionless as men tried to desperately help and defend her, only to be tear-gassed or struck by police. People begged and pleaded with police to give Rosanne CPR.

When they realized the police were not going to help and continued to spray teargas, the men finally carried Rosanne down the stairs away from the attacks of police to attempt administer CPR themselves. This is where the video above begins.

This heartbreaking video shows their haphazard yet valiant attempts to save the life of Rosanne Boyland.

Blood can be seen splattered on the white step behind Boyland.

Men and women yell at the police: “She’s dying! She’s Dying!”, “Fuck you!”, “You did this!” and “This is on you!”

“I think she is still alive,” someone says.

As the men finally give up and carry Rosanne up the stairs to again beg for police help, a man that mistakes Rosanne for a man can be heard yelling in indignant anger:

“They let him die (police)! They let that man die! We needed resuscitation and they let him die! They pepper-sprayed him and let this man go down. That’s unacceptable and its unconstitutional!”

HOW DOES THIS TIE INTO THE BIGGER PICTURE OF JANUARY 6TH?

The government and mainstream media have exploited the violence on the West Capitol Steps as unhinged Trump Supporters who attacked police for no reason.

They carefully cut Rosanne out of all footage that has been released to make the protesters around her seem like monsters with no motive for their seemingly irrational anger. ROSANNE BOYLAND’S DEATH EXPLAINS IT.

“The crowd saw it, they reacted, there was an explanation to all those “back the blue” type guys suddenly becoming angry with police,” said a J6 prisoner who is currently being held pre-trial who tried to help Rosanne.

“A pack of humans is literally like a pack of ants,” said Ryan. “If you flick and hurt one, the whole ant hill feels it and starts to react. That is the simplest way to explain what happened to the crowd at the West Capitol Terrace on January 6th.”

Rosanne Boyland smiled and walked happily towards the Capitol on January 6th in plastic American flag sunglasses- blissfully ignorant of her fate that day. (Credit: public domain)

November 25, 2024 – Jack Smith surrenders: asks judge to dismiss Trump case in Florida – Epic lawfare fail

Jack Smith (Credit: Getty Images)

Smith, on Monday, filed a motion to dismiss the election interference case against Trump in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, marking a major victory for the president-elect:

After careful consideration, the Department has determined that OLC’s prior opinions concerning the Constitution’s prohibition on federal indictment and prosecution of a sitting President apply to this situation and that as a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated.

Moreover, Smith then filed a motion in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to dismiss an appeal in the documents case, which “will leave in place the district court’s order dismissing the indictment without prejudice as to him.” Smith cites the reasoning laid out in his motion to dismiss the election interference case:

For the reasons set forth in United States v. Trump, No. 23-cr-57, ECF No. 281 (D.D.C.) (filed Nov. 25, 2024) (moving to dismiss criminal prosecution as to defendant Trump in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia), the United States of America moves, pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 42 and Eleventh Circuit Rule 42-1, to dismiss the appeal in this case as to defendant Trump.

Taken together, the moves mark the end of the federal prosecutions against the president-elect, leaving two remaining cases at the state level in Georgia and New York. (Read more: Breitbart News, 11/25/2024)  (Archive)

November 25, 2024 – Congress put Ashli Babbitt’s killer Michael Byrd on notice, Capitol Police to hand over three years’ worth of his electronic correspondence

(Credit: Revolver News)

Is the jig finally up for dirtbag Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police Captain who many believe murdered unarmed Ashli Babbit in cold blood on January 6?

This dirty cop, who has a history of disciplinary issues, including weapons infractions, was actually promoted after he shot and killed an unarmed female vet—the ultimate DEI move from the left.

Politico:

In the aftermath, the Department of Justice conducted an investigation and concluded that Byrd would not face criminal charges, determining that his actions were justified under the circumstances. In August 2021, Byrd publicly identified himself and discussed the incident, expressing that he believed his actions saved lives that day.

In August 2023, Byrd was promoted to the rank of captain within the U.S. Capitol Police, recognizing his service and actions during the January 6 events.

Michael thinks he saved “countless” lives that day by killing young Ashli.

This buffoon is so reckless and dangerous that he once left his firearm unattended in a public area of the Capitol.

Well, it seems that Byrd is back in the crosshairs, and this time, he won’t have the Biden regime’s DOJ to protect him.

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry shared an update on X, revealing that House Oversight investigators have set a deadline of December 12th for Capitol Police to hand over three years’ worth of electronic correspondence from Michael Byrd.

November 26, 2024 – Marc Andreessen describes “alarming” meeting with Biden admin and their plan to control AI through government regulatory capture

Marc Andreessen appears on Joe Rogan podcast, November 26, 2024)

Marc Andreessen, the billionaire investor and co-founder of the influential Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, revealed in a new episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast that after an “alarming” meeting with Biden administration officials earlier this year was the moment he would have no other choice but to support Donald Trump.

For decades, Andreessen has supported Democrats, including Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. However, a troubling spring meeting with Biden administration officials caused major concerns. During the meeting, officials explained their plan to control AI through government regulatory capture—a strategy reminiscent of Communist policies in China.

“We had meetings [Biden officials] this spring that were the most alarming meetings I’ve ever been in. Where they were taking us through their plans, and it was – basically just full government – full government control – like this sort of thing, there will be a small number of large companies that will be completely regulated and controlled by the government, they told us. They said don’t even start startups – there’s just no way that they can succeed – there’s no way that we’re going to permit that to happen.” 

In mid-July, Axios reported that Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz had donated to President-elect Trump’s campaign. At the time, their support was attributed to Trump’s pro stance on crypto and AI regulation. It’s another telling example of just how far-left Democrats in the White House spooked Silicon Valley heavy hitters, such as Elon Musk.

Back to the podcast, Rogan asked Andreessen: “When you leave a meeting like that, what do you do?”

Andreessen responded: “You endorse Donald Trump.”

X user Ben Averbook condensed Rogan’s three-hour podcast into a series of the most important highlights:

Andreessen told Rogan about the federal government’s rogue “Operation Choke Point.” He described it as a move by the Department of Justice that initially targeted marijuana businesses and gun manufacturers. He said under Biden, it was then weaponized to destroy political opponents, tech founders, and the crypto community.

More highlights from the interview:

Andreessen spoke about Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and how they may have devised a plan to reduce the government workforce.

November 27, 2024 – Musk accuses Alexander Vindman of being on the payroll of Ukrainian oligarchs and has committed treason against the United States

Alexander Vindman (Credit: Win McNamee/Getty Images)

Elon Musk said retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman “has committed treason against the United States” by being “on the payroll of Ukrainian oligarchs,” and will “pay the appropriate penalty.” Musk’s comments came in response to Vindman accusing him of conspiring with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Musk was reacting to a post by another X account that shared a video of Vindman accusing the Tesla CEO of having ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and claiming Musk only supported President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election because Putin told him to.

(…) Notably, Vindman testified against then-President Trump during the November 2019 House impeachment hearings, claiming the 45th president was withholding military aid to Ukraine in exchange for dirt on then-presidential candidate Joe Biden.

In September, Vindman’s wife, Rachel Vindman, mocked the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life.  (Read more: Breitbart News, 11/27/2024)  (Archive)

November 29, 2024 – Joe Rogan: “What you’re seeing with Trump, regardless of flaws, is a massive concentrated PsyOp”

November 29, 2024 – Jack Smith could face ‘severe consequences’ for year-long legal crusade against Trump

Jack Smith (Credit: Getty Images)

Special counsel Jack Smith may not be in the clear, even after dropping all charges against President-elect Donald Trump.

Smith’s decision to dismiss his cases against Trump on Monday reignited calls for an investigation into his efforts. While it’s unclear if probing Smith is high enough on Trump’s priority list to translate talk into action, some aren’t ready to simply brush Smith’s months-long pursuit aside now that the threat is gone.

Investigating the federal prosecutions against Trump is important “because of the huge cost and ultimate failure,” former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Whether that yields findings of criminality is unlikely. However, I think it will find that Smith’s novel legal approach was fraught with issues that should have led a reasonable prosecutor to decline prosecution,” Cherkasky told the DCNF. “Smith is already leaving his special counsel post, but I anticipate some of the lawyers working under him will also be forced out of the [Department of Justice] DOJ for engaging in a legally unsound prosecution.”

Smith’s two Trump prosecutions cost taxpayers upwards of $50 million, according to DOJ reports.

“There is a lot of evidence that the congressional Jan. 6 committee intentionally avoided evidence beneficial to Trump’s position, and if Smith did the same, his conduct could be grounds for more severe consequences,” Cherkasky noted.

The Heritage Oversight Project posted on X Monday that they are preparing a “model indictment” of Smith. Executive Director Mike Howell suggested Smith could be charged under the federal law prohibiting a conspiracy to violate an individual’s civil rights, but told the DCNF there are “other potential avenues as well.”

“Jack Smith and his office must face severe legal, political, and financial consequences for their blatant lawfare and election interference,” Article III Project President Mike Davis like wrote Monday on X. “This includes a federal criminal probe for conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. § 241.”(Read more: The Daily Caller, 11/29/2024)  (Archive)

November 29, 2024 – Members of the censorship industrial complex fear Donald Trump’s presidency: ‘I’m pretty f*cking scared’

Donald Trump’s vow to dismantle the censorship cartel of “misinformation” researchers, media blacklisters like NewsGuard, and Big Tech has sent shivers through the academic community that has dedicated itself to censoring conservatives.

The Financial Times reports that since Donald Trump’s election victory, researchers and academics who study alleged digital “misinformation” are growing increasingly worried that the new administration will follow through on campaign threats to crack down on their work. During the campaign, Trump said he would seek to curb federal funding to universities found to have engaged in censorship activities like flagging conservative social media content for removal.

The seriousness of Trump’s intentions has been underscored by his pick of Brendan Carr, a Republican FCC commissioner and vocal critic of Big Tech censorship, to chair the agency. Trump’s anti-censorship crusade has also garnered public support from Silicon Valley figures like venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and Twitter owner Elon Musk.

“I think it will be just a tsunami of critiques and witch hunts,” warned Megan Squire, deputy director for data analytics at the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center. “I suspect some people in academia where you get to choose your research will self-censor or soften their research, or shift their application area.”

Some misinformation researchers say they fear for their jobs and research funding if Trump follows through on his threats. “I’m pretty fucking scared,” said one professor who studies the field, speaking anonymously due to fears of retribution. “If this stuff happens, I will be on a plane [out of America].”

Trump and allies like Musk argue the misinformation field has enabled the government, academia, blacklist organizations like NewsGuard, and tech companies to collude to suppress conservative speech under the guise of combating fake news. “Every participant in the orchestrated government-university-non-profit-company censorship machine of the last decade can be charged criminally,” venture capitalist Marc Andreessen alleged on X.

November 29, 2024 -Tom Homan suggests the Trump administration is coming after the globalist elite cabal

OH SNAP!!! Tom Homan just said the Trump admin will investigate & punish any foreign countries involved in the border invasion.

“People are going to be held accountable… What did the United Nations have to do with this open border crisis? What NGOs were involved in this?”🔥

I didn’t think I could get any more excited about the next four years. The UN and a lot of organizations funded by dark money were definitely involved in the invasion, and it’s about time they got dealt with.

There is far bigger significance than most people realize to Tom Homan saying the Trump administration will investigate other nations involved in the border invasion.

What he’s unofficially announcing is that the Trump administration is going to try to expose and take down the Globalist Elite Cabal. The powers behind the border invasion are the entities — nations, NGOs, oligarchs, and technocrats — that are actively trying to diminish America’s place in the world so they can usher in their vision of 10 regional powers controlled by a one world government.

Taking on Open Borders is taking on the Globalist Elite Cabal. I’m down with that.

November 29, 2024 – Bill Clinton confesses in new book he “couldn’t sleep for two years” and suffered “outbursts of rage” following 2016 election

Bill Clinton revealed in his new memoir, “Citizen – My Life After The White House,” that he “couldn’t sleep for two years after the election” and suffered “outbursts of rage, which lasted for years” following Hillary’s 2016 loss to President Trump.

“The whole thing is hard for me to write,” says Slick Willie while pushing the debunked Russia collusion hoax and blaming it for Hillary’s loss.

Per Daily Mail:

President Bill Clinton was so enraged by the treatment of his wife, Hillary, during her failed presidential bid that he couldn’t sleep for two years, he now admits – or stop complaining about the shock defeat.

Writing in his new memoir, an emotional Clinton issues an apology to all those who found him hard going in the years following the 2016 contest, won by Donald Trump, which he describes as ‘the darkest election possible in the United States’.

Clinton, president from 1993-2001, still blames Hillary’s defeat on a toxic combination of Russian propaganda, an unprecedented investigation into her use of emails by James Comey, then director of the FBI, and a supine political press which, he says, took more interest in the email controversy than the merits of the candidates.

‘I apologize to all those who endured my outbursts of rage, which lasted for years and bothered or bored people who thought it pointless to rehash things that couldn’t be changed.’

November 30, 2024 – George Clooney claims he was ‘seduced by Barack Obama’ into a coup against Biden

(Credit: Joe Biden/X)

Activist actor George Clooney is outraged after being manipulated by former President Barack Obama into lobbying for Kamala Harris to take faltering Joe Biden’s place in the 2024 election – and then getting thrown under the bus by his onetime buddy when she lost, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

“George is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pals”, a showbiz insider said.

Clooney, 63, wrote an opinion piece in July calling for President Biden to drop his reelection campaign, citing his declining mental faculties.

“We are not going to win in November with this president”, he declared. Biden, 82, heeded that advice 11 days later, ceding his campaign to Vice President Harris. And the minute Kamala’s historic bid for the White House came up short, Clooney started taking heat! “Since I’m in a deep depression and feel like lashing out at someone, what’s the plan now, George Clooney?” One of his many same-party critics writes on social media. “It’s all George Clooney’s fault!” (Read more: RadarOnline, 11/30/2024)  (Archive)

December 3, 2024 – Judge orders Fani Willis to release all communications with Jack Smith and J6 Committee

A judge ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to release all communications with Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee.

Earlier this year conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch asked the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, for a default judgement against Fani Willis refusing to answer its open records request.

“Defendant has not filed an answer and no answer has been served upon [Judicial Watch].… Defendant’s answer was due 30 days after service, or on April 10, 2024. Pursuant to [Georgia law] the case automatically became in default when an answer was not filed by the due date. Further pursuant to that Code section, Defendant was permitted as a matter of right to open the default within 15 days of the day of default, or by April 25, 2024.” Judicial Watch wrote in its motion earlier this year.

“I think this is the first time in Judicial Watch’s 30 years that a government official failed to answer an open records lawsuit in court,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “This further shows Ms. Willis has something to hide about her collusion with the Biden administration and Nancy Pelosi’s Congress on her unprecedented and compromised ‘get-Trump’ prosecution.”

The Court ordered Fani Willis to release the records in five days and declared that she violated Georgia law.

December 4, 2024 – North Carolina residents are left stranded as FEMA fails to deliver aid after Hurricane Helene

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, thousands of North Carolina residents found themselves stranded in the wreckage, waiting for help that never came. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is tasked with providing disaster relief, has failed to meet its promises to those devastated by the storm, leaving many families with nowhere to turn.

O’Keefe Media Group traveled to Swannanoa, North Carolina, to investigate the government’s delayed response to the disaster. Despite FEMA’s claims that assistance would be promptly delivered, residents like Daily Dow are left struggling with no immediate relief in sight.

James O’Keefe speaks with Daily Dow.

“They [FEMA] haven’t helped me yet,” said Dow, whose home was destroyed by the storm. Dow explained that although FEMA has provided temporary housing at a hotel, she and her children are soon to be relocated to a tent, leaving them vulnerable to the harsh conditions. “It’s been two months, and I can’t wait in the cold anymore,” she said, emphasizing the growing sense of despair.

“This area was completely devastated,” one Hurricane Helene victim in Western North Carolina shared, describing the extent of the flooding during the storm. “You can see, I mean, the river’s quite far away, but the water came all the way up here. Everything inside has to come out.”

In the wake of the disaster, @OKeefeMedia Group traveled to North Carolina to investigate the government’s failure to provide timely assistance, despite promises of aid. “They [FEMA] haven’t helped me yet,” Swannanoa, North Carolina resident Daily Dow said. Many residents who have lost everything are left to fend for themselves while FEMA’s support remains absent. Dow added, “FEMA has helped me with a hotel. They paid for my hotel,” sharing she has one more day at the hotel before she and her children will move into “a tent with a stove, a wood stove in it.”

“It’s been two months, and I can’t wait in the cold anymore,” Dow said, emphasizing the growing despair. Despite FEMA’s promises of up to $47,000 for rebuilding, their inaction has left Dow feeling abandoned: “I’m eligible to get up to $47,000 to replace my house. But they haven’t come through.”

In the face of government inaction, volunteers with Spokes of Hope, Savage Freedom, All Hands and Hearts, and other local communities are stepping in to support each other. “Churches have been really helpful,” a volunteer shared. “Samaritan’s Purse is doing a good job… Savage Freedom that’s been coming out.” Even with the outpouring of volunteer efforts, the lack of official aid continues to be a harsh reality for many.

Stay tuned for PART 2 of our four-part series, where OMG takes hidden cameras behind the scenes to confront federal FEMA officials… @SamaritansPurse @AllHandsHearts

December 17, 2024 – J6 Congressional report reveals cell carrier companies did not give corrupted data on J6 bomber and suggests data reveals the bomber’s name

Congress just released BOMBSHELL findings on the January 6th pipe bomb investigation, revealing that the FBI engaged in a massive coverup.

The Committee determined that “There is conflicting information as to whether the FBI received “corrupted” cellular data from the major cell carriers. A former senior FBI official testified that the major cell carrier companies provided “corrupted” cell data to the FBI and suggested that that “corrupted” data may have contained the identity of the pipe bomber; however, in responses to letters from the Subcommittee, the major cell carriers confirmed that they did not provide corrupted data to the FBI and that the FBI never notified them of any issues with accessing the cellular data.”

“After more than 1,400 days since two pipe bombs were placed on Capitol Hill, the FBI has made no arrest and has charged no individuals with planting the explosive devices. Since its initial progress in the early weeks and months of the investigation, there has been little meaningful progress toward the apprehension of the suspect.”

Do you mean to tell me they were able to track down & arrest hundreds of J6ers mere days after January 6th but still can’t get their hands on the actual terrorist who endangered the entire government? Yeah, we’re not buying what they’re selling. EVERYONE AT THE FBI MUST GET ARRESTED.

December 4, 2024 – Houston FBI agent is convicted of robbing people during home raids

How much lower can the FBI sink? Just when you think this disgraceful agency has hit rock bottom, they manage to dig even deeper. This time, it’s yet another DEI hire making a total mockery of the badge. Agent Nicholas Anthony Williams has been arrested and convicted for robbing people blind during home invasion raids—and yes, at least one of those raids targeted a January 6th political prisoner.

As if it wasn’t bad enough that the regime weaponized the FBI to go after non-violent Americans, now we find out that during those raids, Agent Williams was lurking around like a common thief, helping himself to their belongings.

Honestly, this is what the DEI agenda does: it takes our once-esteemed agencies and institutions and turns them into a colossal joke. And sadly, it’s still going strong, as this shameful story proves.

Liberty News:

A former FBI agent, Nicholas Anthony Williams, has been convicted of stealing cash, valuables, and other property while executing search warrants, including items taken from the home of a non-violent January 6 defendant. The conviction, tied to a series of thefts spanning years, has further fueled scrutiny of federal law enforcement practices.

Williams, 36, worked in the FBI’s Houston field office since 2019. He was indicted in January 2023 in the Southern District of Texas on charges of theft, fraud, and making false statements. According to court documents, Williams exploited his role as a federal agent to steal money and property during searches, which he then converted for personal use.

The stolen items included cash, silver bars, cell phones, and government-issued property. Williams also made false claims about fraudulent charges on his FBI-issued credit card, alleging they were legitimate case-related expenses. His actions culminated in a September guilty plea, in which he confessed to five thefts committed between 2020 and 2023.

As we mentioned earlier, among the victims that Agent Williams targeted was a Trump supporter, who was raided after he attended the J6 event. Agent Williams ransacked this poor man’s room. The Liberty News piece goes on:

One of Williams’ theft victims was Alexander Fan, a Houston college student who had been sentenced to 12 months of probation for peacefully protesting inside the Capitol during the January 6 riot. Fan was charged with non-violent trespassing misdemeanors, and his home was searched by the FBI in June 2023.

According to court filings, Fan reported several missing items from his bedroom, including $1,500 in cash and silver bars. These items were not listed among those seized under the search warrant. Fan’s attorney, Mark Thering, expressed hope for the eventual return of his client’s stolen property.

December 5, 2024 – Obama warns of Republicans rigging elections and weaponizing the DoJ

Former President Barack Obama on Thursday claimed the moral high ground by cautioning  “one side” of politics is going to “stack the deck” by stealing elections and politicize the U.S. government.

He declined to name which specific party should be attributed with those anti-democratic principles but added they should be opposed.

In a speech at the third annual Obama Foundation Democracy Forum in Chicago, Illinois, the 63-year-old called for a renewed commitment to pluralist ethics and said the consequences of failing to do so are barely worth considering.

He said:

There are going to be times, potentially, when one side tries to stack the deck and lock in a [long pause] permanent grip on power—either by actively suppressing votes, or politicizing the armed forces, or using the judiciary and the criminal justice system to go after opponents.

In those circumstances, pluralism does not call for us to just stand back and say, ‘Well, I’m not sure that’s okay.’

In those circumstances, a line has been crossed, and we have to stand firm.

Critics were quick to point out Obama had only one party in mind when he made the claim.

December 6, 2024 – Federal judge mandates the FDA release all of the Emergency Use Authorization file for the Pfizer Covid vaccine by June 2025

U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman (Credit: public domain)

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a high-profile case brought by the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT).

The decision mandates the FDA to release the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) file for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine no later than June 30, 2025.

The case stemmed from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the PHMPT, which sought comprehensive data related to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

The FDA initially claimed it would need up to 75 years to process and release the requested documents. However, the Court, presided over by Judge Mark Pittman, rejected this argument, citing the importance of government accountability.

In late 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) faced significant public scrutiny after proposing a timeline that would extend the full release of documents related to the approval of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine over several decades.

This proposal emerged following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT), a group of scientists and public health professionals seeking comprehensive data on the vaccine’s approval process.

The FDA initially suggested releasing 500 pages per month from a collection exceeding 300,000 pages, effectively delaying complete disclosure until around 2097. The agency cited limited staffing and the extensive volume of documents as reasons for this prolonged timeline.

In response to the backlash, U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman in Fort Worth, Texas, issued a ruling in January 2022 that significantly shortened the FDA’s proposed timeline.

Judge Pittman ordered the agency to release 55,000 pages per month, ensuring that all documents would be made public by the end of September 2022.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman mandated the FDA to expedite the release of documents related to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

According to his conclusion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit:

“The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.” Jonathan Elliot, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, as Recommended by the General Convention at Philadelphia in 1787, at 169–70 (ed. 1881) (statement of Patrick Henry). The Covid-19 pandemic is long passed and so has any legitimate reason for concealing from the American people the information relied upon by the government in approving the Pfizer Vaccine.”

In his ruling, Judge Pittman ordered the FDA to produce the “emergency use authorization” file, underscoring that with the pandemic’s conclusion, there is no longer a valid reason to withhold the information.

The FDA has already produced over a million pages of documents in response to the lawsuit. However, the plaintiffs argue that the agency continues to withhold critical information. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 12/6/2024)  (Archive)

December 6, 2024 – House Weaponization report details over 14,000 federal employees accessed sensitive financial data of Trump supporters

The Biden administration worked with banks to ‘spy’ on Americans without a warrant, a stunning new congressional report charges.

The House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released its damning findings that banks targeted Americans supportive of President-elect Donald Trump.

‘The federal government is spying on your bank account,’ the Republican-led panel posted in a video on X summarizing its 47-page report.

‘The federal government has conditioned financial institutions to work for them,’ another alarming slide on the video reads.

What the video seeks to explain is the complex and convoluted process in which major financial firms, like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase and more have all handed over their customer’s data to the government for free.

‘The next time you swipe your [bank or credit] card know that someone may be watching,’ the subcommittee video eerily adds.

This data can include the location, date and description of transactions, making it easy for the government to compile an understanding of where people go, what they buy and what activities they spend their time on.

After receiving this data, the FBI created an internal portal, where employees could search these typically private transactions and profiles could then be made on individual citizens of concern, like those who have shopped at Cabela’s or purchased a Bible, the panel claims.

Over 14,000 federal employees accessed that sensitive financial data in 2023 during which the subcommittee claims 3.3 million ‘warrantless searches’ were made. (Read more: Daily Mail, 12/6/2024)  (Archive)

December 9, 2024 – FBI Director Wray and Deputy Director Abatte prepare to resign before Trump inauguration

FBI Director Christopher Wray is preparing to resign as President Trump moves forward with nominee Kash Patel.

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley (IA) sent Christopher Wray a blistering letter on Monday and told him and his deputy Paul Abbate to step down for the good of the country.

“For the good of the country, it’s time for you and your deputy to move on to the next chapter in your lives,” Mr. Grassley wrote in the letter to Wray, according to The Washington Times. “I therefore must express my vote of no confidence in your continued leadership of the FBI.”

According to The Times, Christopher Wray is going to be gone by Inauguration Day because he doesn’t want to get fired by President Trump.

Kerry Picket of The Washington Times reported:

FBI Director Christopher A. Wray plans to resign on or before Inauguration Day, The Washington Times has learned.

Mr. Wray is calling it quits because he doesn’t want to get fired by President-elect Donald Trump, according to sources inside the bureau who are familiar with the director’s thinking.

“He’s going to be gone at the inauguration. On or before the inauguration,” a source said.

Following Mr. Wray’s departure, Deputy Director Paul Abbate will become acting director and appoint an acting deputy director. Mr. Abbate’s original plan was to stay until May or June so he could help with the transition to a new FBI director.

Mr. Wray knew his days were numbered at the FBI.

Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the Iowa Republican who will become chairman of the Judiciary Committee next month, sent a scathing letter Monday to Mr. Wray saying he should be ousted before his 10-year term as FBI director is up — and he said Mr. Abbate should go, too.

Mr. Grassley’s letter changed Mr. Abbate’s plans, and he is now looking for an alternate acting deputy director to appoint.

December 9, 2024 – Insiders tell how IT giant favors Indian H-1B workers over US employees

Former American employees of Cognizant from left to right: Latreecia Folkes, Jean-Claude Franchitti, Christy Palmer, Abby Israel and Jack Benedict

Six months into her job, Latreecia Folkes had launched a new project and received a letter of praise from her supervisor. And then, she says, she was told to train her replacement on the project, a worker from India. She balked at that but was replaced anyway.

Over the next two years, Folkes said, she was repeatedly denied opportunities for advancement as a project manager at Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., one of the world’s largest information-technology outsourcing firms. She was offered chances to apply for roles that required her to relocate, but she couldn’t because her mother was ill. Over time, her relationship with the company grew strained, and Folkes said she knows why.

“I definitely knew it was because of me being an American, not being Indian, and also because I was Black,” she said in an interview. Folkes filed an internal discrimination complaint in 2017, three days before she was fired.

In October, a jury in a federal class-action lawsuit returned a verdict that found Cognizant intentionally discriminated against more than 2,000 non-Indian employees between 2013 and 2022. The verdict, which echoed a previously undisclosed finding from a 2020 US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigation, centered on discrimination claims based on race and national origin. Cognizant, based in Teaneck, New Jersey, was found to have preferred workers from India, most of whom joined the firm’s US workforce of about 32,000 using skilled-worker visas called H-1Bs.

The case is part of a wave of recent discrimination claims against IT outsourcing companies that underscore growing concerns that these firms have exploited a broken employment-visa system to secure a cheaper, more malleable workforce. In the process, US workers say they’ve been disadvantaged. The industry, which provides computer services to other companies, makes extensive use of H-1Bs; over the past decade and a half, no employer has obtained more of them than Cognizant, federal records show.

Cognizant spokesman Jeff DeMarrais said the company plans to appeal the verdict and disagrees with the EEOC finding. “Cognizant provides equal employment opportunities for all employees and does not tolerate discrimination in any form,” he said. He also said the company has sought fewer new visas over the past several years and said any apparent disparities in its hiring stem from a shortage of US tech workers. “Like many consulting firms and other technology companies in the US, Cognizant utilizes the H-1B visa program to fill positions it cannot fill with available US workers,” DeMarrais wrote in one of several emailed responses to questions from Bloomberg News.

Indeed, the H-1B program was designed to help US employers find specialized talent. But a decade’s worth of records from the US Department of Labor shows that outsourcing companies, including Cognizant, have used the visas mostly to fill lower-level positions, such as IT system analysts and administrators. Fewer than 20% of the 6,400 visa holders Cognizant has sponsored since 2020 had a master’s degree or higher, according to data from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. At companies such as Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc., that figure is about 60%. (Read more: Bloomberg News, 12/09/2024)  (Arvhive)

In Trump ‘45, the President had a showdown with the Tennessee Valley Authority over 200 American jobs that TVA had switched to H1Bs.

In the run-up to Christmas, TVA fired these 200 Americans – and had them train their foreign replacements on the way out.

They did this despite the fact that TVA is (1) a government agency; (2) founded to improve the material station of poor Americans, and (3) manages critical energy infrastructure for a large swath of the country.

My team and I proposed a plan to President Trump to reinstate the terminated American workers. Because the President of TVA cannot be fired by the President of the United States we thought President Trump should hold the TVA board members responsible – the highly-compensated decision-makers who had orchestrated the H1B worker swap.

The President agreed. He started firing TVA board members one at a time, with a demand to reinstate the Americans to their jobs. It didn’t take long before the TVA president and the remaining Board members agreed to reinstate the American workers.

At the time, some skeptical commentators said it was meaningless because it was “only” 200 jobs. But it was an important moment for two reasons.

First, these 200 jobs mattered to 200 American families, especially with Christmas approaching.

Second, it set an outer boundary for what short-term labor visas (which is ultimately what the H1B visa is) should NOT be used for: to replace competent American workers in a critical industry with temporary foreign visa workers just to save a buck.

There is broad agreement on the right about what H1B visas – or any other visa – should NOT be used for. The TVA showdown is an example of that.

Agreeing on this common understanding is the right starting place for this incoming administration.

1. I led the drafting of legislation in the Trump ‘45 White House to create a new legal immigration framework. I saw firsthand what happens when ANY visa reform is proposed: executives from the biggest multinationals and lobbyists from all kinds of industries are banging on the door, demanding to keep what they have.

2. What they have is a tangled morass of visa classes that are carve-outs, handouts, and special favors to particular industries, bought and paid for through decades of lobbying feckless members of Congress and presidential administrations. Industries lobby for the foreign workers they claim to “need,” and then they get a visa class carve-out, which they protect (and seek to expand) at all costs.

3. And there are enormous costs for our nation – costs that fall on the American worker with devastating consequences. The statistics bear that out: job gains go to foreign-born workers while American workers post net job losses.

I also know this firsthand because I grew up a working class kid, watching my father (and by extension, our family) suffer from unfair foreign labor competition.

4. For too long, Americans have been largely unaware of the source of these problems because the policies are designed to be too complicated and are made largely invisible to public scrutiny. I’m glad the right is having an open debate about legal immigration. It is past time.

5. To be clear, the difference between O1Bs and H1Bs matters in this debate, for example, because these visas are intended to accomplish very different goals and are entirely different in scale, BUT both visa classes are rife with abuse. (Plenty of Reggaeton stars and anti-American athletes enter the U.S. on O-1 visas.) Essentially ALL visa classes are abused. Again, that’s because these things exist to serve special interests on one side of the labor market (and it’s not the side of the American worker).

6. The debate can’t be confined to a single industry – it’s about Big Tech, Big Ag, tourism and hospitality, transportation (airlines, trucking), the media & sports entertainment complex (yes, the NFL and MLB have their own special visa classes and their own special treatment by DHS and State) and many many others. They all want special visas to import cheap and convenient foreign labor. Even the roofing industry is now seeking its own special visa class. And all of these special classes get expanded over time, allowing the American worker to be flooded with foreign competitors for no reason other than labor savings for employers.

7. I, like many Americans, voted for a sealed border and an immigration moratorium. Americans need to retake control of our immigration system — how many are coming in, for what reasons, and for how long. One question absent from our current system: how does this individual immigrant benefit the American nation and her people? No more blanket exemptions or economic rationales. Immigration is a regime-based question, as both Hamilton and Jefferson wrote on extensively, and our system should reflect that Americans must also demand meaningful investment in assimilation and integration requirements for legal immigrants here already.

December 10, 2024 – DOJ IG report: In 2017, the Justice Department secretly surveilled lawmakers, congressional staffers, and reporters

(Credit: DoJ OIG Report)

Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Tuesday found that the Justice Department in 2017 secretly surveilled lawmakers, congressional staffers, and reporters.

CNN reported that the Justice Department, in 2017, during Trump’s first term in office, secretly obtained records of Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Patel – who was at the time a Republican staffer for the House Intelligence Committee – as well as 21 Democrat congressional staffers, 20 Republican staffers (including Patel,) two nonpartisan congressional staffers, and eight reporters.

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Patel to serve as the FBI Director.

Career prosecutors at the Justice Department sought records, including emails from journalists at CNN, the Washington Post, and the New York Times.

Horowitz wrote that seeking these communications based on “the close proximity in time between access to classified information and subsequent publication of the information… risks chilling Congress’s ability to conduct oversight of the executive branch.” He added, saying that such a move:

…exposes congressional officials to having their records reviewed by the Department solely for conducting Congress’ constitutional authorized oversight duties and creating, at a minimum, the appearance of inappropriate interference by the executive branch in legitimate oversight activity by the legislative branch.

Horowitz did not find retaliatory motivation by the career prosecutors who issued the compulsory process of the lawmakers, staffers, and reporters, nor was the motivation based on party affiliation. He did not recommend charges again anyone in their review.

The IG report found that the Justice Department did not disclose that the NDOs focused on lawmakers and congressional staffers, although Justice Department policy at the time did not require that.

The Inspector General’s report recommended the Justice Department:

  • Evaluate when advance notification to a senior Department, such as the Deputy Attorney General or Attorney General, should be required before compulsory process is issued to consider raising constitutional separation of issues
  • Consider the circumstances in which NDOs should identify for the reviewing judge that the records covered by a proposed NDO are records of lawmakers or congressional staffers
  • Consider whether there are circumstances in which an exhaustion requirement should be a requisite for issuing compulsory process to obtain records of members of Congress and congressional staffers

December 10, 2024 – Task force on Trump assassination attempts releases final report, accuses agencies of failing to produce docs

In its final report, the House task force investigating the assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday accused multiple government agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), of failing to produce documents it requested for its probe.

Trump survived two assassination attempts earlier this year, including one in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet struck his ear. The second attempt occurred in Palm Beach, Florida, in September. Trump was not injured in the second attempt.

The bipartisan panel, which released its final report into the shootings on Tuesday, said there were multiple leadership failures that contributed to the deadly shooting in Pennsylvania in July.

In the second shooting, lawmakers noted that there were  “critical vulnerabilities” in the security of the golf course, but said federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) did not provide further information they needed on the preparation and response to the shooting, per Fox News.

“The Task Force notes that as of the date of publication of this report, [the Department of Homeland Security], USSS, FBI, and ATF have not produced any documents responsive to the Task Force’s requests regarding the preparation for, events of, and response to the second assassination attempt that occurred on September 15,” the report said.

The 180-page report also suggested Congress consider detaching the Secret Service from the Department of Homeland Security and make it independent. The agency was previously part of the Treasury Department.

“The current structure potentially weakens USSS, a small but critically important agency, in advocating for its budget and other priorities inside a much larger entity,” the report said. “The failure in [Butler, Pennsylvania] was far from the first significant USSS failure in recent history, and it is fair to question whether USSS should continue to be housed within DHS.

December 11, 2024 – Bill Clinton says he hopes Joe Biden doesn’t pardon Hillary

Former president Bill Clinton said he hopes Joe Biden doesn’t issue preemptive pardons for his wife or others as Trump prepares to take office.

Clinton made the remarks during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday.

“Mr. President, Trump will be returning to the White House…. with an alleged enemies list we are hearing. Do you think it would be wise of President Biden to preemptively pardon any potential targets? What about your wife, Hillary Clinton?” The View’s Sunny Hostin asked Clinton. “She apparently is on Kash Patel’s list.”

Bill Clinton argued his wife Hillary doesn’t need to be pardoned because she hasn’t committed any crimes.

“Well, they’ve got a problem with [Hillary] because first, she didn’t do anything wrong,” Clinton replied. “Second, she followed the rules exactly as they were written. Third, Trump’s state department, Trump’s state department, found… they, remember how the emails was such a big issue in 20216? Trump’s state department found that Hillary sent and received exactly 0 classified emails on her personal device,” Bill Clinton said.

Clinton continued, “It was a made up, phony story, so you know, I guess if Kash Patel is determined to make one up, he could do it. But, I think if President Biden wanted to talk to me about that, I would talk to him about it. But, I don’t think I should be giving public advice on the pardon power. I think it’s too … it’s a very personal thing. But I hope he won’t do that. Most of us get out of this world ahead of where we would get if all we got was simple justice and so, it’s normally a fool’s errand to spend a lot of time trying to get even.”

December 12, 2024 – Biden commutes the sentence of a Chinese national with 47,000 child pornography images and videos

A North Texas doctoral student whose family is connected to China’s Communist Party was sentenced Thursday to eight years in federal prison for accessing thousands of child pornography images and videos including some depicting the sexual assault of infants and toddlers, court records said.

Shanlin Jin, 24, who lived in Allen, had more than 47,000 images and videos on his computer, police have said.

U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant in Sherman also ordered Jin to pay restitution to seven victims who requested it.

Jin, a Chinese national, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography in December [2022] and faced up to a decade in prison under the sentencing guidelines. He will probably be deported after he serves his sentence, court records show.

(…) Born in Beijing, Jin was scheduled to obtain a bachelor’s degree from the “Special Class for the Gifted Young at the University of Science and Technology of China” just before his 19th birthday, according to court records.

He moved to the U.S. in 2016 to pursue academic studies, first obtaining a master’s degree in economics from Temple University in Philadelphia. He then moved to North Texas to begin a PhD program in economics at Southern Methodist University, according to court records.

The criminal investigation began at the end of 2020 when undercover officers downloaded child pornography from a user they eventually identified as Jin, records show.

The Collin County Sheriff’s Office searched the Allen home he was renting in January 2021. Afterward, an investigator questioned him in a police vehicle outside the house and he admitted viewing child pornography images, authorities said.

When Jin’s attorneys tried to have his statements to police suppressed, prosecutors responded that he wasn’t in custody at the time and called him a “highly intelligent, educated man” who was fluent in English and understood what was happening. The judge did not throw out his statements.

An FBI agent said during a detention hearing in the case that Jin told officers he knew that child pornography was “very bad stuff.” (Read more: Dallas Morning News. 7/14/2022)  (Archive)

December 13, 2024 – Hiding The Truth: Horowitz’s Modified Jan 6 ‘Limited Hangout’

From The New York Times:

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz (Credit: Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)

Do you detect the conspicuous lack of conviction in DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the Jan 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol building, which has been the central device for defeating the populist revolt against the treasonous DC blob? And did you notice that it took him four years to report on the event? Weird, a little bit, ya think?

I’ll tell you why: because when investigators genuinely interested in the truth come on the scene, soon to happen, a very different story will be revealed. The Horowitz report is a last ditch attempt, at the very last moment, to get ahead of that true story — which is that the FBI and its parent, the DOJ, have been lawlessly and in bad faith acting against their oaths to defend constitutional government.

For eight years — including the four when Mr. Trump was president — the FBI and DOJ worked tirelessly to run him out of office and make sure he could never return. The effort was prodigious and, astoundingly, it failed. It was launched initially to conceal the crimes of Bill and Hillary Clinton, especially their moneygrubbing in Russia around the Skolkovo project — Russia’s Silicon Valley — and the Uranium One scandal — which involved the sale of US nuclear assets to Russia’s state-owned Rosatom company. The Clintons’ problems became especially acute in the summer of 2016 when Hillary’s private (outside government) email server came to light with its thousands of potentially incriminating memos. Looked like trouble.

The cure for that was to accuse candidate Trump of conniving with Russia, a sort of political homeopathy. It began as a mere Hillary campaign prank — the Steele Dossier — but CIA Director John Brennan and Barack Obama dumped it in FBI Director James Comey’s lap, and asked him to run with it. Mr. Comey stupidly complied, and before long he marshaled the executive officers of the FBI into the massive hoax that became RussiaGate.

The Mueller Investigation was intended to convert all that into a prosecutable Trump crime while covering up the FBI’s own crimes, but it proved a fiasco when the Mueller report issued in March, 2019, came up empty — to the horror of the Trump-deranged public.

Inspector General Horowitz’s report on these FBI shenanigans came out in December of that year, finding little amiss besides some “errors” in FISA applications and FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith’s forgery of an email as to whether one Carter Page was ever a CIA asset. The big news media let it all slide. Mr. Trump somehow survived, to the blob’s horror, and prepared to run for re-election.

The 2020 election was a fantastic trip laid on the American public. Covid-19 allowed for drastic changes in voting rules. The Democratic Party managed in plain sight to maneuver the obviously senile Joe Biden to head their ticket, and an array of very conspicuous late-night frauds got him elected. On Jan 6, 2021, Republican legislators were poised to contest the results out of several swing states where the frauds occurred in the requisite Congressional certification ceremony. The law plainly allowed for such challenges. It could not be allowed to happen. (Read more: James Howard Kunstler, 12/13/2024)  (Archive)

From Revolver News, 12/12/2024:

DOJ Finally Releases Suppressed IG Report on Jan 6: Here’s What They’re Still Covering Up

For all of the damning vindication of its admissions, the DOJ IG report is still more damning in terms of its omissions. There is not a single word about the most damning smoking gun of all of January 6—the January 6 pipe bombs. And this is despite absolutely scandalous revelations indicating near certainty of Capitol Police, ATF, and Secret Service involvement in the cover-up of the pipe bomb scandal. As we focus on the FBI here, it is incidentally important to keep in mind that we have definitively shown that the aforementioned agencies (Capitol Police, ATF, Secret Service) and probably many more are deeply involved in the Fedsurrection scandal. Most notably in relation to the FBI, we recently learned that the head of the Washington Field Office of the FBI lied about the Bureau’s inability to receive geofencing data that would have positively identified the pipe bomber. For that matter, we also learned that as early as mid-2022, the FBI had deleted all surveillance footage of the pipe bomb location on January 6th. None of these damning questions is so much as addressed at all in this report.

Our reporting completely changed the national conversation on January 6th. We were viciously punished for it—Congress even banned our email lists from reaching their servers. One FBI agent who sympathized with our reporting had his security clearance revoked for sharing one of our January 6 articles. The mainstream media and regime cracked down on our exposure of the Fedsurrection lie with a vigor that had rarely been seen even from the criminals in the Biden regime. The DOJ’s suppressed IG report is a start, but it is far from the end. Anything that does not assist us in finalizing our exposure of the pipe bomb scandal is fake and inadequate. The pipe bomb issue implicates the FBI, Secret Service, ATF, Capitol Police, and very possibly even Kamala Harris herself. It is the most dangerous issue, and therefore it is the most important issue. It is the issue that we have put our blood and sweat into at Revolver News, and we will not rest until the full and damning truth is out no matter how ugly.

When it comes to the truth about January 6, we cannot be cheap dates. Stay tuned. There are more reports to come out.

December 16, 2024 – Federal Judge grants Derek Chauvin’s request to examine George Floyd heart tissue and fluids to contest cause of death

Derek Chauvin was convicted in state court in the murder of George Floyd. For reasons I explained in great detail at the time, Chauvin did not get a fair trial. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison. His appeals from that verdict failed in the state courts and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case.

Chauvin also pled guilty to federal charges and received a roughly similar sentence. Chauvin is contesting his federal guilty plea, asserting in a pro se motion to vacate sentence, among other things, ineffective assistance from his counsel Eric Nelson, for failure to engage with a supposed expert who reached out with a theory that Floyd died because of heart failure not Chauvin’s actions.

Counsel appointed for Chauvin after Nelson withdrew from the case then filed a Motion for Discovery:

The opinion of Dr. Schaetzel is that Mr. Floyd died due to a catecholamine crisis when his paraganglioma secreted excessive levels of catecholamines. Dr. Schaetzel urges that samples preserved from Mr. Floyd be tested for catecholamines and their metabolites, and that tissue sections of Mr. Floyd’s heart be examined. These tests and examinations would support Dr. Schaetzel’s opinion about what caused Mr. Floyd to die if high levels of catecholamines or their metabolites were discovered, or if the heart tissue showed evidence of Takotsubo’s myocarditis. (Takotsubo’s myocarditis is an acute heart failure (i.e., a heart attack), that is caused by a catecholamine crisis.) So Dr. Schaetzel’s opinion is that the catecholamine crisis led to Takotsubo’s myocarditis, resulting in pulmonary edema and death. Because these tests and examinations would support Dr. Schaetzel’s opinion depending on their results, there is good cause to conduct the tests.

***

In sum, Chauvin requests the following discovery:

• Any and all histology slides of Floyd’s heart, tissue samples of Floyd’s heart, tissue blocks containing heart tissue from Floyd, recut sections of all autopsy tissue histology slides relating to Floyd’s heart, related to the criminal case against Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd possessed by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office (HCMEO), and any entity that the HCMEO contracted with that has these materials.
• Photos taken of George Floyd’s heart.
• Any and all vitreous fluid/aqueous humor, postmortem blood, antemortem blood, and urine from Floyd possessed by the HCMEO, any entity that the HCMEO contracted with that has these materials, HHC (autopsy report notes that antemortem blood was taken at HHC), and NMS Labs (NMS Labs conducted the toxicology testing and produced the toxicology report, and thus they may still have samples of the blood and urine that they tested (DE 544-1 at 25-26)). Chauvin requests quantities of these fluids sufficient to test the concentration of fractionated catecholamines and metanephrine levels present.

The Court granted the motion for discovery in an Order on December 16, 2024:

U.S. District Court Judge Paul Magnuson (Credit: Scott Takushi / Pioneer Press)

Mr. Chauvin filed a § 2255 motion challenging his federal conviction. In the briefing on this motion, he argued that his motion should be granted because he was denied the effective assistance of counsel in two fundamental ways. First, his attorney, Eric Nelson, failed to inform Mr. Chauvin that a Doctor William Schaetzel had contacted Mr. Nelson and opined that Mr. Chauvin did not cause Mr. Floyd’s death. Dr. Schaetzel’s opinion is that Mr. Floyd died due to a catecholamine crisis when his paraganglioma secreted excessive levels of catecholamines. These excessive levels of catecholamines led to Takotsubo’s myocarditis (a type of acute heart failure, or heart attack), resulting in pulmonary edema and death. Dr. Schaetzel contacted Mr. Nelson in April 2021, before Mr. Chauvin was indicted federally. So Mr. Chauvin’s first ground is a claim that Nelson provided ineffective assistance of counsel to Mr. Chauvin by failing to consult with him on this issue.

The second way Mr. Chauvin claims that Mr. Nelson was ineffective is related, though independent. Dr. Schaetzel urged that samples preserved from Mr. Floyd be tested for catecholamines and their metabolites, and that tissue sections of Mr. Floyd’s heart be examined. These tests and examinations would support Dr. Schaetzel’s opinion about what caused Mr. Floyd to die if high levels of catecholamines or their metabolites were discovered, or if the heart tissue showed evidence of Takotsubo’s myocarditis. Mr. Nelson never requested these tests. Mr. Chauvin’s second claim is thus not a failure-to-consult claim, but a failure-to-test claim.

Mr. Chauvin’s discovery motion seeks to have the tests performed that could support Dr. Schaetzel’s opinion of how Mr. Floyd died… (Read more: Legal Insurrection, 12/17/2024)  (Archive)

December 17, 2024 – J6 Report bombshell: Trump didn’t just offer military to protect Capitol, he ordered It but was disobeyed

On the eve of former President Donald Trump’s return to power, a new report is turning the story of the 2021 Capitol incursion on its head.

For four years, a Democratic-run “select” committee on Jan. 6, anti-Trump Republicans, and the establishment media have blamed Trump for the violence in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, but the report released Tuesday accused Trump’s acting defense secretary at the time, Christopher Miller, of defying Trump’s specific orders.

It’s the very first finding of the report, and it paints a scathing picture of Nancy Pelosi’s “select” committee — and former Rep. Liz Cheney’s role in the whole affair.

The report, “On the Failures and Politicization of the January 6 Select Committee,” cited transcripts from interviews conducted by the Department of Defense Inspector General into the events surrounding the incursion.

In an interview with the IG, former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, a now-retired Army general, described Trump’s words at a Jan. 3, 2021 meeting to prepare for the meeting of Congress to certify the results of the still-disputed 2020 election.

Milley summed up Trump’s statement as:

“Hey, I don’t care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe.”

To most Americans, that would sound like an order from a commander in chief to his subordinate, but Miller told Nancy Pelosi’s rigged Jan. 6 Committee that he chose to consider it “banter,” the report noted on page 69.

In fact, he told the IG interviewers, according to page 68 of the report: “There was absolutely — there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. Military forces at the Capitol.”

In addition, Miller told the Jan. 6 committee that he was influenced by a commentary piece published by The Washington Post on Jan. 3, 2021, signed by all 10 living former defense secretaries, calling on Miller by name to “refrain from any political actions that undermine the results of the election or hinder the success of the new team.”

That piece, though, was “orchestrated” by Cheney, according to the report. Cheney’s father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, who also served as a defense secretary, was a co-author of the piece.

(Liz Cheney’s role in organizing the op-ed was first revealed in a May 2021 interview the liberal magazine the New Yorker conducted with Eric Edelman, a Cheney family friend and former national security adviser to Dick Cheney. Not even the left-wing “fact-checking” site Snopes has disputed it.)

The report released Tuesday also showed Miller feared being called a “Trump crony” and was sensitive to criticism on social media.

That apparently mattered more to him than carrying out the orders of the president, the report stated. (Read more: Western Journal, 12/18/2024)  (Archive)

December 17, 2024 – Liz Cheney is referred for criminal investigation for witness tampering related to J6 witness Cassidy Hutchinson

The Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) released a second report on the events surrounding January 6 as well his investigation into the weaponized J6 Committee on Tuesday.

“This interim report reveals that there was not just one single cause for what happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6; but it was a series of intelligence, security, and leadership failures at several levels and numerous entities,” Loudermilk said.

Loudermilk’s report outlined criminal recommendations against J6 Committee co-chair Liz Cheney for witness tampering based on her communication with J6 ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson.

The Committee’s Top Findings:

1. Former Representative Liz Cheney colluded with “star witness” Cassidy Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.

2. Former Representative Liz Cheney should be investigated for potential criminal witness tampering based on the new information about her communication.

3. Cassidy Hutchinson’s most outrageous claims lacked any evidence, and the Select Committee had knowledge that her claims were false when they publicly promoted her.

  • President Trump did not attack his Secret Service Detail at any time on January 6.
  • President Trump did not have intelligence indicating violence on the morning of January 6.
  • Cassidy Hutchinson falsely claimed to have drafted a handwritten note for President Trump on January 6.
  • Representative Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson baselessly attempted to disbar Hutchinson’s former attorney.

4. Former Representative Liz Cheney used the January 6 Select Committee as a tool to attack President Trump, at the cost of investigative integrity and Capitol security.

5. The January 6 Select Committee was improperly constituted and lacked authority.

6. The January 6 Select Committee neglected or withheld evidence from its Final Report and deleted voluminous records it should have preserved.

7. The Department of Defense scapegoated the Washington D.C. National Guard to distract blame from senior leadership.

As previously reported, Loudermilk obtained January 6 ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson’s Signal messages which revealed she was directly communicating with J6 Vice Chair Liz Cheney in 2022.

December 17, 2024 – World’s smallest violin plays as “depressed” Biden bureaucrats can’t find new jobs

Depressed Bureaucrats

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

Politico is reporting that Biden Administration bureaucrats are depressed because they can’t find new jobs, and members of Biden’s “national security team” are “frantically” scrambling to find new careers before Trump dismantles the deep state.

“Our side is just battling depression while we update our resumes,” one White House official stated, while another staffer declared that “Everyone is willing to take a demotion because there aren’t enough jobs.”

Boo hoo. Cry harder.

While the higher ups are all abandoning ship for Defence contractors, think tanks and consulting firms, the lower level dogsbody bureaucrats are whining that they face taking “unglamorous jobs” with pay cuts.

“There’s a lot of good career people here who went through the first Trump administration and are saying, ‘Can I really go through that again?’” said one Biden appointee at the State Department.

Oh my God, the hardship of having someone you don’t agree with running things.

“It’s going to be very saturated and crowded and so beggars can’t be choosers, I guess,” said another Biden State Department appointee, adding “The crazy thing is none of these jobs we’re desperate to get are particularly glamorous, unless you want to go lobby for some autocratic foreign governments.”

The world’s tiniest violin is playing for them.

Politico notes that “Wherever they land, a wave of Democratic national security and foreign policy staffers will continue the tradition of patiently treading water for four years until, just maybe, a Democrat can win the presidency again in 2028.”  (Read more: Zero Hedge, 12/17/2024)  (Archive)

December 17, 2024 – Antony Blinken briefed then VP Joe Biden about sensitive foreign policy matters through his private email account

New email records released by the National Archives show then-Vice President Joe Biden was briefed about sensitive foreign policy matters by then-advisor Antony Blinken on his private email account, including details about a failed North Korean missile launch.

Joe Biden, now president, first faced scrutiny about potential private accounts after emails contained on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop showed the then-vice president in the Obama administration was using an email address with a pseudonym to communicate about business and official matters with his son, other family members, and senior staff.

One new email, part of several batches released by the National Archives pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit shows that in the hours following a North Korean missile launch in April 2012, Blinken—who was then Biden’s national security advisor—sent a message to the vice president’s private email account “robinware456@gmail.com” with details about the sensitive national security matter.

“Just in case you missed it, the North Korean rocket failed somewhere between the first and second stages,” Blinken wrote. “Will take some time to determine why.” The future Secretary of State signed the email message, “tony.”

You can read the email below:

The launch marked a provocative escalation during a time of leadership transition in the communist dictatorship as Kim Jong Un was assuming powers from his father, who had died the preceding December. One day after the email, North Korea confirmed that the rocket launch had indeed failed.

82,000 pages

Blinken followed up on his first email two days later, presumably with more updates, but the contents of that communication were redacted by the National Archives under the “P5” exemption, which excludes information from FOIA requests that “would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors,” under the Presidential Records Act.

The memos reviewed by Just the News are part of the several batches of communications released by the National Archives under pressure from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the Southeastern Legal Foundation prompted by Just the News’ reporting three years ago that revealed Biden used at least three different pseudonym private email accounts when he was Barack Obama’s vice president.

December 18, 2024 – Nancy and Paul Pelosi saw great profits after a luxury Napa resort won Covid bailout

The Auberge du Soleil, a five-star hillside hotel and spa with a panoramic view overlooking the vineyards of Napa Valley, appears to be first-rate in all ways but one. While the glamorous resort, an hour’s drive from San Francisco, fills rooms that routinely go for $2,000 a night with A-list celebrities and tech titans, financial records suggest it did not provide much of a return to at least two of its investors – Rep. Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul. That changed when it received millions in congressionally authorized COVID-19 relief in 2020 and 2021.

The Auberge du Soleil investment, held for decades by Paul Pelosi, has rarely turned a significant profit, according to Nancy’s financial disclosure forms. In some years, he has recorded a loss or a profit of between $50,000 to $100,000. But the year of the bailout money stands apart. In 2021, Pelosi’s ethics forms show that her family’s income from the resort surged to a range of $1 million to $5 million.

The French Riviera-themed resort may not be most people’s idea of a struggling business in need of a government bailout, yet the Auberge du Soleil – which shuttered briefly at the outset of the pandemic before swiftly rebounding – received about $9 million from a series of special taxpayer-funded emergency relief programs.

The previously unreported windfall is among several COVID bailouts that flowed to Pelosi-backed restaurants, hotels, and properties, including several Courtyard Marriott hotels.

A RealClearInvestigations analysis found that Pelosi’s profits spiked from a variety of holdings that won significant government rescue funds – which amounted to $28 million, a total more than previously known. For their family’s stake in the Auberge du Soleil, the Pelosis received more income in 2021, when bailout funds channeled to the resort, than any other time over the last 10 years.

December 19, 2024 – Bill Clinton’s new memoir attacks Peter Schweizer, tries to spin Hillary’s Russian Uranium One deal

(…) Two weeks after the election of Donald Trump, Bill Clinton released a new book. Citizen: My Life After the White House, was not widely noticed at the time, but scattered across various chapters of the book are about 1,500 words attacking Peter Schweizer by name for his reporting all the way back in 2015.

Clinton’s book makes several inaccurate assertions about what Clinton Cash reported and the role of the New York Times, Washington Post, and ABC News in confirming what the book would reveal about how the Clintons used their charitable foundation to enrich themselves. On the most recent episode of The Drill Down, Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers respond to Clinton’s claims.

Bill Clinton writes that Schweizer’s 2015 book was “political propaganda designed to help elect far-right wolves in populist clothing.” This, Schweizer says, is completely untrue. The investigation for the book began in 2013, while Hillary Clinton was still Secretary of State under President Barack Obama and long before either she or Donald Trump announced their candidacies.

What piqued GAI’s interest at the time, Schweizer has said, was the Clintons’ own financial disclosure forms (required for high government officeholders) that showed enormous sums of cash coming to their foundation from corrupt countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine, all of which surged in 2009 after Hillary became secretary of state.

“The facts are simple. The Clinton Foundation took in $250 million in 2009,” Schweizer says. That level was sustained during the four years she was in office. Once she left office, contributions to the family foundation began to dwindle until, in 2020, it received just $16 million in contributions, a 93% decrease from its boom days.

Bill’s memoir also attempts to spin the revelations in Clinton Cash regarding Uranium One, an American mining company that was sold to Russia in a deal approved while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State and a key member of the inter-agency group that had to approve any sale of a strategic asset to a foreign power. Schweizer’s book showed that several Clinton cronies and megadonors were enriched by the deal.

Clinton argues there was no scandal there because Hillary did not personally approve the deal. In fact, the approval was handled by a State Dept. staffer closely tied to John Podesta, a Clinton administration operative who would become Hillary’s campaign chairman in 2016. The Clinton “blur” here, as reported in Clinton Cash, was in distancing Hillary from the decision while her foundation reaped donation benefits from grateful investors in the deal, including Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra. “It’s a distinction without a difference,” Schweizer says.

Bill also claims Schweizer’s book “achieved its larger purpose when, amazingly, The New York Times and The Washington Post joined Fox in signing ‘exclusive’ agreements to use the book as a ‘resource’ for the campaigns, knowing full well whose payroll the author was on and his past work as a right-wing propagandist.”

While it’s certainly eye-popping to see the New York Times treated as part of a “right-wing” conspiracy, the truth is that Schweizer simply furnished them advance copies of some of the research. They produced their own stories that corroborated and even furthered the findings contained in the manuscript. Jo Becker, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, produced a front-page exposé on the Uranium One story for the Times after confirming and supplementing what the book would reveal.

“We call out powerful people. And it’s satisfying to know that, nearly 10 years later, Bill is still mad and still won’t let go of it,” Schweizer tells Eggers.

Clinton’s book never disputes the facts, Schweizer says. They never denied their foundation took in nearly $150 million from investors in Uranium One, for example. A Russian bank with interests in the deal paid Bill $500,000 for a single speech in Moscow the same month the deal was under official review.

Schweizer recalls only one noteworthy figure who tried to push back on the revelations in Clinton Cash. That was a testy interview on ABC News with George Stephanopoulos, who did not refute the facts, nor did he reveal to his audience his own glaring conflict of interest – the fact that he was himself a major donor to the Clinton Foundation. “Where is the smoking gun?” Stephanopoulos asked Schweizer repeatedly in an audio clip of the interview. “You have no evidence of a crime.”

Schweizer replies: “It’s not up to an author to prove a crime, George.” (Read more: Breitbart, 12/19/2024)  (Archive)

December 19, 2024 – Fani Willis is disqualified from prosecuting Trump case

The Georgia Court Of Appeals (Credit: public domain)

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is disqualified from prosecuting the case against President-Elect Donald Trump, an appeals court held Thursday.

“After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office,” the Georgia Court of Appeals ruled 2-1. “The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring.

After a multi-day evidentiary hearing, Judge Scott McAfee concluded in March that Willis’ relationship with Nathan Wade, who she appointed special prosecutor on the case against Trump, created a “significant appearance of impropriety.” He allowed Willis to remain on the case if Wade stepped aside.

“While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings,” the appeals court wrote Thursday.

While the appeals court disqualified Willis, it declined to dismiss the indictment in its entirety. (Read more: Daily Caller, 12/19/2024) (Archive)

December 19, 2024 – New York Times and the Wall Street Journal depict president Biden as thoroughly out to lunch for his entire term

The knives have come out — and so has the truth.

Having been lied to for years by the Democratic Party machine and most of the mainstream media — who insisted Joe Biden was not diminished by his age but energized by it — well, it turns out we skeptics were right all along.

And what we’re learning is terrifying. Infuriating. An unacceptable abuse of power, a usurpation of the presidency itself by a nameless, faceless cohort.

Will we ever know who these conspirators are?

Two bombshell reports out this week, in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, depict a president thoroughly out to lunch for his entire term: Top cabinet members unable reach him. Staff regularly taking his place at official events. Biden refusing to hold morning meetings but clocking out at 4pm — even though he naps every day and, in July, announced that he’d no longer hold events after 8pm.

How many hours has Joe Biden actually spent working? How was the 25th amendment not invoked? Was the danger of a President Kamala Harris — who the liberal media also tried to sell as viable — truly that unthinkable?

‘Drain the swamp’ resonates for a reason.

Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz sought to deflect his boss’s dereliction by, you guessed it, going after Trump.

‘Normal presidents strike a balance, and so does Joe Biden. Hardly the same rigor as Donald Trump, who spends half of his day ranting on Truth Social […] and the other half golfing,’ Munoz said in July, days after that catastrophic TV debate, and days before the Times reported that a Parkinson’s expert had visited the White House eight times over as many months.

The gaslighting has failed to catch fire. If only legacy media had pursued this new line of reportage, I don’t know, back in 2019. When it mattered.

Now that these outlets are shedding eyeballs and subscribers, we’re getting some actual investigative reporting — albeit on the obvious. (Read more: Daily Mail, 12/19/2024)  (Archive)

December 10, 2024 – DOJ IG Report: A Democrat whistleblower identified Schiff, Swalwell as leakers

Last week the Department of Justice’s inspector general released a report on some of the DOJ’s tracking of communications from media and congressional figures as part of its purported investigation into who was leaking classified information against President Donald Trump in 2017. Three significant bombshells about the Russia collusion hoax were hidden inside the dense and dry 100-page report.

Two Washington Post stories, a New York Times story, and a CNN story were all found to have included classified information. None of the four stories are specified in the report, but they all appeared in the first half of President Trump’s first year in office.

The first Washington Post story is likely the April 2017 story by Ellen Nakashima, Devlin Barrett, and Adam Entous revealing that DOJ had gotten a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Carter Page, a Trump affiliate. The true story of that warrant would end up revealing the corruption of the DOJ, including how it falsified evidence in its application and relied on the laughable Steele dossier as the basis. But at the time of its publication, the FISA story suggested that an honorable DOJ had serious reason to suspect the Trump campaign of colluding with Russia to steal the election.

As outlandish and unhinged as the conspiracy theory was, it was fueled with daily drops of classified and deceptively packaged information designed to make it appear legitimate. The corporate media dutifully regurgitated, published, and aired the leaks as part of their campaign against the Republican president.

(…) One of the more surprising claims in the report was that a Democrat staffer on one of the congressional committees “voluntarily told the FBI” almost immediately after the investigation began in 2017 that he suspected two members of Congress and a number of Democrat staffers of being involved in the leaking of the classified information, leading to further investigation of those identified.

While the report doesn’t identify the whistleblower, his committee, or name the members of Congress, a 2021 New York Times story already identified then-Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell, both of California, as the two congressmen on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) who were under investigation.

The DOJ report further notes that only these two members of Congress were investigated. Schiff was the top Democrat on HPSCI at the time its Republican chair Devin Nunes was engaged in painstaking efforts to reveal the Russia collusion hoax and many of its participants.

Both Schiff and Swalwell were notorious for going on left-wing media outlets such as CNN and MSNBC to push the Russia conspiracy theory. Schiff, now California’s junior senator, lied publicly for years about the matter, falsely claiming to have secret evidence substantiating the hoax. Schiff was widely suspected of leaking information to his allies in the press, or otherwise misrepresenting information from the committee.

Swalwell, for his part, famously had an intimate relationship with Communist Chinese spy “Fang Fang,” who had targeted him and other Democrats as part of a honey-trap operation. Despite these serious problems, both men served on HPSCI until former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy removed them in early 2023.

The whistleblower told the FBI he “suspected that Member 1 had previously leaked classified information and that Member 2 wanted to influence public opinion via the release of classified information.” However, the FBI said the whistleblower didn’t offer enough “direct evidence” of the suspected leaking.

The DOJ itself would go on to stonewall Nunes and Senate colleagues who were attempting to investigate DOJ’s lead role in the Russia collusion scam. Many of the top leadership at the FBI, including former Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, were later unveiled as some of the worst leakers in government and leaders of the Russia collusion hoax. While they were removed from office, the Biden administration later paid some of them off. (Read more:  The Federalist, 12/17/2024)  (Archive)

December 22, 2024 – Liz Cheney predicted the January 6 bomb threat

(Credit: Julie Kelly/Declassified)

(…) In another odd turn of fate, Cheney now finds herself in the hot seat following shocking disclosures by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11), chairman of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee tasked with conducting a separate investigation into the J6 committee’s work and overall events of that day. A recent report issued by Loudermilk detailed Cheney’s misconduct and influence over the J6 committee, prompting some GOP legislators and the incoming president to call for a criminal investigation into Cheney for potential witness tampering and other offenses.

Cheney’s behavior before January 6, however, also merits scrutiny. Oddly, she appears to have been the first official to predict that a bomb could disrupt the joint session that day—a scenario she had contemplated on at least three separate occasions leading up to that day.

Her fears proved accurate, but she inexplicably dropped the matter during her committee’s 18-month long investigation into the events of Jan 6.

Cheney’s Uncanny Clairvoyance

Cheney’s earliest vision occurred on December 12, 2020, while watching coverage of pro-Trump rallies in Washington, D.C., from her laptop. According to The Washington Post, Cheney’s thoughts “flashed forward to January 6,” as she “imagined a bomb threat halting the count to certify the election.”

Her concerns intensified in mid-to-late December as House Republicans discussed plans to contest the election results. During this period, she claimed she was reading Ted Widmer’s Lincoln on the Verge, which documented President Abraham Lincoln’s trip to Washington for his inauguration. In her memoir, Oath and Honor, Cheney drew parallels to 1861 when pro-Southern militias gathered in the nation’s capital potentially to invade the Capitol and halt the certification of President Lincoln’s election. She reflected on the tense atmosphere—heightened by fears that Vice President John Breckinridge, who was to preside over the proceedings, might not acknowledge Lincoln’s victory—and compounded by nightly bomb searches in the Capitol’s basement.

“This made for chilling reading in December of 2020,” Cheney remarked. “What did President Trump expect to do with the crowd of supporters he was summoning to Washington? Would they try to disrupt or delay the electoral count on January 6? How? Would there be a bomb threat? If someone called in a bomb threat and the Capitol was evacuated, were arrangements in place for Congress to meet somewhere else?”

Soothsayer Cheney once again proved prescient; lawmakers were evacuated to Fort McNair Army base after protesters entered the Capitol on January 6.

Cheney also raised the possibility of explosives near the Capitol during a January 2, 2021, phone call with then-Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen. She and her husband, Philip Perry, an attorney and alum of the George W. Bush administration, called Rosen to express their concerns that “a bomb threat or some other tactic might be used to halt the count.” During the conversation, Perry cited post-9/11 security measures around the Bush White House; Rosen reassured the couple that additional security resources would be available at a nearby military base if needed.

Newsweek later reported over that very same weekend, Rosen, without formal requests from law enforcement or external agencies, unilaterally activated long-standing contingency plans designed to address a terrorist attack involving a weapon of mass destruction—the exact scenario Cheney had warned him about. Elite government special operations teams, including the FBI’s Hostage Rescue and “Render Safe” teams, an ATF Special Response Team, and the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group, were pre-deployed and on alert over the weekend of January 2-3 staging at the FBI Academy complex in Quantico.

On January 6, Cheney’s predictions of doom materialized when the two pipe bombs were found near the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee, both just blocks from the Capitol, on January 6 just as the joint session of Congress convened to debate the election outcome. Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund testified to Congress in February 2021 to explain that he believed the timing and location of the pipe bombs’ discovery diverted “extensive resources” from the Capitol. This diversion coincided with a mass influx of protesters approaching its grounds, offering a narrow window of opportunity for a few bad actors to initiate a large-scale attack.

The ensuing chaos ended Republicans’ plans that day to expose voting fraud related to the 2020 presidential election—precisely the outcome Cheney had wanted. (Read more:(Declassified/Julie Kelly, 12/22/2024)  (Archive)

December 23, 2024 – Biden commutes sentences of 37 of 40 federal death row inmates

Today, President Biden announced that he is commuting the sentences of 37 individuals on federal death row. Those individuals will have their sentences reclassified from execution to life without the possibility of parole.

President Biden has dedicated his career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system. He believes that America must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level, except in cases of terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder – which is why today’s actions apply to all but those cases. When President Biden came into office, his Administration imposed a moratorium on federal executions, and his actions today will prevent the next Administration from carrying out the execution sentences that would not be handed down under current policy and practice.

This historic clemency action builds on the President’s record of criminal justice reform. The President has issued more commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms. Earlier this month, the President announced clemency for approximately 1,500 Americans – the most ever in a single day – who have shown successful rehabilitation and a commitment to making communities safer. This included sentence commutations for nearly 1,500 individuals who were placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities, as well as 39 pardons for individuals who were convicted of non-violent crimes. President Biden is also the first President ever to issue categorical pardons to individuals convicted of simple use and possession of marijuana, and to former LGBTQI+ service members convicted of private conduct because of their sexual orientation.

The President’s criminal justice record has transformed individual lives and positively impacted communities, especially historically marginalized communities. In the coming weeks, the President will take additional steps to provide meaningful second chances and continue to review additional pardons and commutations.

December 23, 2024 – Judge rules Fani Willis will have to comply with Georgia Senate subpoena demand for testimony and documents

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram has ruled that Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis, will have to comply with a state senate inquiry into her conduct over the prosecution of Donald Trump.

It will be interesting to see if the Georgia Senate can extract details of contacts between Fani Willis and people in Washington DC (Mary McCord). It is almost a guarantee at this point, that somewhere in the early planning stages of the Georgia Lawfare operation, Mary McCord had contact with Willis or her office.

(Via LA Times) – A judge has ruled that the Georgia state Senate can subpoena Fulton County Dist. Atty. Fani Willis as part of a inquiry into whether she has engaged in misconduct during her prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump but is giving Willis the chance to contest whether lawmakers’ demands are overly broad.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram filed the order Monday, telling Willis she has until Jan. 13 to submit arguments over whether the subpoenas seek legally shielded or confidential information. Ingram wrote that she would issue a final order later saying what Willis had to respond to.

A state appeals court earlier this month removed Willis from the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump and others, citing an “appearance of impropriety” that might not typically warrant such a removal. The Georgia Court of Appeals panel said in a 2-1 ruling that because of the romantic relationship Willis had with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, “this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings.” (read more)

December 23, 2024 – Disturbing new details show how CIA drugged and tortured Americans in secret mind control program MKUltra

Newly declassified bombshell records of an infamous CIA mind control program, MKUltra, reveal how Americans were drugged and tortured more than 60 years ago.

The collection of more than 1,200 pages detail how the CIA used induced sleep, electroshocks and ‘psychic driving’ on drugged subjects who were psychologically tortured for weeks or months to reprogram their minds.

The subjects included criminals, mental patients and drug addicts, but also Army soldiers and average citizens who were given drugs without their knowledge.

A total of 144 projects were conducted from 1953 to 1964, aimed at developing procedures and drugs that could be used during interrogations, weakening individuals and forcing confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture.

The newly declassified pages detail how the CIA used methods such as induced sleep, electroshocks, and ‘psychic driving,’ under which drugged subjects were psychologically tortured for weeks or months to reprogram their minds.

While it has long been said that subjects only included prisoners, mental patients and drug addicts, one report showed that some CIA and Army officials and ‘subjects in normal life settings’ were ‘unwittingly’ given LSD over the decade-long experiment.

In a newly unsealed document from 1956, researchers were developing ‘an anti-interrogation drug’ by testing ‘materials capable of producing alterations in the human central nervous system which are reflected as alterations in human behavior.’

A memo about a classified meeting showed that the CIA contemplated the possibility of testing on foreign nationals,’ but decided that ‘unwitting testing on American citizens must be continued’ instead. (Read more: The Daily Mail, 1/6/2025)  (Archive)

STATE DEPARTMENT’S GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT CENTER THAT CENSORED AMERICANS SHUTS DOWN—GOOD RIDDANCE

The State Department’s controversial GEC, accused of silencing Americans, has closed after Congress pulled its $61M funding.

Elon called it the “worst offender” in government censorship, flagging accounts for posts about COVID origins and more.

Lawsuits revealed the GEC targeted conservative media and violated First Amendment rights with taxpayer-funded blacklists.

This closure is a win for free speech and accountability in the fight against government overreach.

December 24, 2024 – RINO Dan Crenshaw threatens beloved Twitter/X user Catturd for calling out his acceptance of $220,000 illegal campaign contributions

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), often referred to by his critics as “Eye Patch McCain,” engaged in a heated exchange on X following renewed scrutiny over his acceptance of illegal campaign contributions totaling over $220,000 during the 2020 election cycle.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) had fined Crenshaw’s campaign $42,000 for failing to return these unlawful donations.

FEC records confirm that in Dec 2022 Crenshaw’s campaign entered a conciliation agreement to pay a $42000 fine for “knowingly accept[ing] $223,460.26 in apparent excessive and prohibited contributions for the 2020 primary and general elections.”

Popular conservative commentator and meme creator “Catturd” called out Crenshaw on X, accusing him of betraying Republican values by accepting illegal campaign donations.

“Never doubt me when I call these scumbags out,” Catturd wrote.

Crenshaw responded to the allegations with a string of tweets dismissing them as baseless smears and accusing his detractors of spreading misinformation. In one post, he threatened legal action against Catturd.

“Yeah well your audience might want to start doubting you, because this is completely made up. Knowingly spreading slander isn’t a good look, not to mention libelous, so you might want to delete,” Crenshaw wrote.

“To be clear, this story was from years ago. Youre lying by implying we solicited illegal contributions. People sent in donations over the limit which just means we have to go through the painstaking effort of writing every single one of them a refund check. It takes forever and is extremely tedious. Happens all the time in campaigns. When are you bottom feeders gonna find something real on me? I’m enjoying living full time in your empty little brain, Catturd,” he added.

December 25, 2024 – King Charles calls for a global government as envisioned by the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset

TRANSCRIPT

King Charles has openly declared that the elite must launch a vast, military-style campaign to combat climate change, while calling for nothing less than a complete rewiring of the global economy. He has even suggested that traditional farming practices—and the livelihoods of countless farmers—should be sacrificed in the name of sustainability.

But it doesn’t stop there. Charles has a deeply troubling history of associating with questionable figures, including his well-documented relationships with Jimmy Savile and Lord Mountbatten—both of whom were later exposed as predatory pedophiles of the worst kind.

And yet, Charles’ supporters continue to bend over backwards to defend the indefensible.

Now, the King has gone even further. He’s declared the end of sovereignty as we know it, calling for the formation of a global government under the auspices of the World Economic Forum.

December 29, 2024 – Who hid the incriminating Biden family China photos from the American public?

– And Why Have They Not Been Arrested? – James Comer Promises to Investigate Biden-China Photo Scandal

Chairman James Comer: we need to hold people accountable. You look at with respect to what’s come out this week with the pictures that the National Archives never would release that show that Joe Biden lied. He did, in fact, introduce his son to all these Chinese people. Joe Biden did, in fact, meet with all these Chinese people that were wiring his family millions of dollars for mysterious reasons. We knew it, and I think the American people with common sense knew it. But what’s most troubling, Jason, is how many people in the federal government knew that Joe Biden was lying when he said he didn’t know why his family was getting all that money, when he said he never met with any of these people. The CIA knew, the IRS knew, the FBI knew. They need to be held accountable. The National Archives, not only have they sat on those pictures and they only released because of a lawsuit, they also never have released the pseudonym emails. This agency will be brought in front of the House Oversight Committee, and they’re going to have to explain themselves as to why they obstructed our investigation. I want to work with Cash Patel.

I want to work with all the new Trump cabinet secretaries, where we can hold the deep state actors accountable because the American people have lost confidence in the government. I think what role oversight will play in this new administration is trying to drain the swamp, and that’s going to begin by getting these federal bureaucrats who have abused their power, they’re unelected, they’ve not been held accountable, no one’s overseen them. There are no checks and balances, and bring them in and try to get them, at the very least, terminated and try to get reforms in place to where this can never happen again and the American people can begin to have confidence in their government agencies again.

A federal watchdog has concluded that the IRS improperly silenced and retaliated against two whistleblower agents who came forward to testify in 2023 about misconduct in the Hunter Biden tax case.

The non-partisan investigation confirms IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler were mistreated by IRS superiors for testifying about how IRS and DOJ officials obstructed investigative steps during the probe into Hunter Biden’s overdue taxes.

“At long last, the career nonpartisan staff at OSC responsible for investigating whistleblower retaliation has finally reached some conclusions. OSC confirmed in a December 30, 2024 email to counsel for the whistleblowers that it found the IRS issued illegal gag orders and improperly removed them from the Hunter Biden investigation as reprisal for their protected disclosures,” Shapley’s attorney Tristan Leavitt wrote in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa).

National Review explains OSC is an independent federal agency “primarily responsible for handling whistleblower complaints and other prohibited personnel practices.”

“Meanwhile, SSA Shapley and SA Zeigler still endure ongoing retaliation every day. Since SSA Shapley became a whistleblower, the IRS has also bypassed him for numerous promotions even though he demonstrated the leadership, knowledge, and competence required for the jobs,” Leavitt wrote.

December 31, 2024 – The FBI’s Trump-Russia probe: Heavily redacted document leaves key questions unanswered

Russiagate news: in response to my FOIA request, the FBI has released a heavily redacted copy of the Electronic Communication that opened the FBI’s investigation of then-President Donald Trump as a foreign agent of Russia. It’s dated May 16, 2017.

This followed the opening of “Crossfire Hurricane” in July 2016, which targeted members of Trump’s campaign. This May 2017 investigation also sought to determine whether Trump “obstructed” that July 2016 investigation and any other “associated” one.

I was most interested to learn the factual basis for the FBI taking the extraordinary step, to put it mildly, of investigating the sitting president as an agent of Russia. But that part is entirely redacted. The document is six pages in total.

January 2025 – UK leader Keir Starmer blocked inquiry into British Pakistani gangs raping children; Musk calls him out for cover-up; Starmer demands Trump distance from Musk or else…

Keir Starmer (Credit: Freedom From Religion Foundation)

For over 16 years, TGP has been on the cutting-edge front of exposing Muslim grooming gangs in the UK and elsewhere, inevitably being branded all those ugly names they use to try to stop us conservatives.

You can see a collection of articles on the issues going back to 2017 here.

That’s why we get so mobilized when we learn that in the UK, the detestable Labour government blocked an inquiry into Sir Keir Starmer’s conduct as the head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) between 2008-2013. Why?

In the CPS, Starmer failed miserably – some say criminally – to investigate the Oldham child grooming scandal, where thousands of girls were mass-groomed, mass-raped, trafficked, and abused.

Now, Jess Phillips, the Labour ‘safeguarding minister,’ has refused the victims’ demands to launch a public inquiry into historical sexual abuse by Muslim gangs in Oldham.

The Telegraph reported: “The scandal was one of several across the country in which dozens of girls were abused by British Pakistani gangs.

Police forces and prosecutors often did not take action for fear of being called racist or Islamophobic, a failing Sir Keir addressed in 2012 when he was running the CPS as the director of public prosecutions.”

Meanwhile, Elon Musk and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch are leading the charge against the decision to block an inquiry.

Musk claimed Minister Phillips ‘deserves to be in prison’ over her ‘disgraceful’ decision, taken – he said – to protect the Prime Minister.

“He said: ‘Who was the head of the CPS when rape gangs were allowed to exploit young girls without facing justice? Keir Starmer, 2008–2013. Who is the boss of Jess Phillips right now? Keir Stamer [sic]. The real reason she’s refusing to investigate the rape gangs is that it would obviously lead to the blaming of Keir Starmer (head of the CPS at the time)’.”

January 2, 2025 – Major Congressional report confirms Revolver News pipe bomb reporting, raises more questions

(Credit: Revolver News)

Just days before the fourth anniversary of the so-called insurrection, the Congressional House Oversight Committee released a major report on the January 6 pipe bomb scandal that resoundingly confirms multiple key aspects of Revolver News’ reporting on this scandal over the past three and a half years. We at Revolver News have faced tremendous difficulty for breaking the pipe bomb story wide open, and, together with our reporting on the Ray Epps breach, which coincided with the suspicious discovery of the pipe bombs, dismantled the entire Fedsurrection narrative. For years, the regime ignored it. Now, thanks to Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, this cover-up is getting dragged back into the spotlight.

Revolver News’ Darren Beattie recently explained some of the implications of this report in an interview that has taken the media by storm (over 6 million views on Twitter and counting).

Watch these two powerful videos:

We were universally reviled in the mainstream media as conspiracy theorists. Google Ads and other programmatic ad services cancelled us; over four different email sending services cancelled us, making it next to impossible to get our reporting out to our mailing list. We’ve received threats, including from Ray Epps himself, who promised to sue (he eventually lost his suit against Fox for having Revolver’s Darren Beattie on to talk about Epps). Perhaps nothing better illustrates the hostility with which Biden’s national security state viewed our reporting on January 6 than the fact that an FBI agent was not only put on leave but had his security clearance revoked simply for sharing our January 6 reporting with colleagues (our understanding is that his clearance and job are now reinstated, thank God).

Of course, the hostility we’ve faced is not because we were peddling a baseless conspiracy theory, but rather because we almost single-handedly destroyed a false narrative about January 6 in which the regime had invested billions of dollars and, arguably, an entire election cycle. Indeed, the false story that January 6 was a deadly terrorist attack and MAGA insurrection served as a key pretext for the national security state to weaponize itself against Trump supporters. We, therefore, welcome such reports as the recent pipe bomb report from Congress’ House Admin Committee—the first full government account of the problems we’ve reported concerning the official pipe bomb story (the Secret Service OIG report touched on this a bit, the DOJ OIG report not at all).

January 4, 2025 – Elon Musk moves Twitter/X from a free speech platform to a new Orwellian set of coded values

Elon Musk and his Twitter (X platform) engineers have an Artificial Intelligence (AI) user engagement and information system known as Grok. Essentially, you can ask AI Grok questions, and it provides responses based on the coded values of the engineers who built it.

Recently people have noticed a change on the Twitter (X) platform as Elon Musk announced the algorithm was being modified by his team.  So, people started to engage with Grok and ask questions about their user account, the status changes evident from the algorithmic modifications, and the AI learning that is coded by Musk’s engineers.  Essentially, asking the Grok AI: “How do you perceive me (through my content)?”

The responses from the xAI Grok system are starting to alarm everyone.

.…”These posts might be subject to reduced reach because they could be perceived as promoting skepticism, conspiracy, or negativity towards individuals, institutions, or the media. However, without direct insight into X’s algorithms or specific feedback from X, these are speculative based on general platform behavior towards negative content. Remember, platforms often aim to reduce the visibility of posts that could lead to misinformation, harassment, or a negative user experience.”….

When asked how to avoid the Twitter platform diminishing their user voice, a typical response from Grok:

“Don’t criticize your government, don’t criticize foreign governments, don’t talk about conspiracy theories, stop telling people to fuck off in the comments, and don’t accuse government officials or members of the media of malfeasance or dishonesty.”

These are the parameters built by Elon Musk and his Twitter engineers.

This is what controls the ‘reach of speech’ on the platform.  Now, it would be simply funny but there are serious layers that must be discussed here.

First, this is how Elon Musk, the demigod free speech advocate, is structuring the algorithm within his Twitter (X) platform. These are his coded values as displayed by the engineers he has hired.  Musks engineers transcribe his goals into code and implant it within the algorithm that controls the site content and restricts or enlarges the influence of the users.

Read this again.  …”Don’t criticize your government, don’t criticize foreign governments, don’t talk about conspiracy theories, … and don’t accuse government officials or members of the media of malfeasance or dishonesty.”  What does that sound like?

Many people will disregard this and simply shake it away saying, ‘it’s just some stupid social media platform, who cares.’  Let me tell you why it matters.

These same coded values are being created by the same tech engineers who are currently building out the surveillance state technological interface with government.  This same perspective, what Palantir CEO Alex Karp described as “coded values,” is being written into the code within Palantir facial recognition and targeting software.   The U.S. Government has already signed billions in contracts with Palantir (Peter Thiel) for these AI products.

Take your “REAL ID” as required by the United States Government (Passport or Driver’s License compatible), now overlay your identity as facially recognized by the tech system around your identity and connect it all to the metadata of your digital life that you leave as a fingerprint within every interaction with technology, and finally add in the coded values that will determine your “liberty status” or what might be called your social credit score (China version).   Now do you see the problem?

Larry Ellison: […] But this is only the start of our surveillance dystopia, according to Larry Ellison, the billionaire cofounder of Oracle. He said AI will usher in a new era of surveillance that he gleefully said will ensure “citizens will be on their best behavior.”

Ellison made the comments as he spoke to investors earlier this week during an Oracle financial analysts meeting, where he shared his thoughts on the future of AI-powered surveillance tools.

Ellison said AI would be used in the future to constantly watch and analyze vast surveillance systems, like security cameras, police body cameras, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras.

“We’re going to have supervision,” Ellison said. “Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.” (more)

What we are witnessing evolve on Twitter, are the original imprints of how the Silicon Valley artificial intelligence products will engage in your life. This is the core “coded values” part of the AI assembly.   Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Vivek Ramaswamy, JD Vance are all part of the technological network building this system for influence and affluence.

These same actors are about to take their AI enhancements into the largest database ever created and stored in human history, through DOGE.  The databases of the U.S Government and NSA hold an astronomical scale of American data.  Imagine the computer learning possible by allowing AI to analyze that level of data scale.

The debate about “coded values” on Twitter is only the tip of the iceberg.

January 5, 2025 – Jack Smith’s top hatchet man in Trump classified documents case abruptly resigns from Justice Department

Jay Bratt (Credit: cyber security summit)

A top Justice Department national security prosecutor has become an early casualty of the incoming Trump administration, abruptly resigning from the department last week before incoming appointees can retaliate against him for his key role in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president.

But three sources familiar with the move described it to SpyTalk as a significant and even chilling event previewing a potential exodus of seasoned government lawyers and FBI agents who fear the wrath of Pam Bondi, Trump ’s pick for attorney general, Kash Patel, his intended nominee for FBI Director, and their expected army of MAGA loyalists in line to fill out top posts.

“They’re forcing him out. There isn’t any doubt that, like [FBI Director Chris] Wray, he’s leaving to get ahead of the axe,” said one former Justice official who attended a farewell party for Bratt at the Justice Department’s seventh floor media center on Friday.

Reached by phone on Sunday, Bratt, 65—who served as a Justice lawyer for more than three decades—confirmed his departure, but declined to comment further. Bratt, who had achieved senior executive status within the department, has told friends and colleagues that he concluded it “wasn’t worth it” to stay at the department only to fight what he fully expected to be a “wrongful termination” notice from his new bosses at Justice, according to a source familiar with his conversations.  (Read more: SpyTalk, 1/5/2024)  (Archive)

January 6, 2025 – Court Awards Judicial Watch $21,578 ‘Fees and Costs’ in Open Records Lawsuit against Fani Willis

Judicial Watch announced today that the Superior Court in Fulton County, GA, issued an order granting $21,578 “attorney’s fees and costs” in the open records lawsuit for communications Willis had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee. The order followed a previous order finding that Willis was in default in the lawsuit. 

Judicial Watch filed this lawsuit in March 2024 filed after Willis falsely denied having any records responsive to Judicial Watch’s earlier Georgia Open Records Act (ORA) request for communications with Special Counsel Jack Smiths office and/or the January 6 Committee (Judicial Watch Inc. v. Fani Willis et al. (No. 24-CV-002805)).  

After finding Willis in default, the court ordered a court hearing on December 20, which resulted in the order yesterday, finding Willis liable for fees and expenses that “shall be paid within two weeks of the entry of this Order.” The order recounts the timeline of events after Judicial Watch filed its records request:

Plaintiff [Judicial Watch] submitted an Open Records Act (ORA) request to Defendant on 22 August 2023 by way of Fulton County’s ORA on-line “portal”. That same day, Plaintiff received confirmation that its request had been delivered and would be channeled to the “appropriate department” (presumably the District Attorney’s Office). The following day, the County’s Open Records Custodian sent Plaintiff [Judicial Watch] an email confirming that the District Attorney’s Office had received the inquiry and asking Plaintiff to “simplify” its ORA [Open Records Act] request…. Literally five minutes later, before any simplification had occurred, Plaintiff received a second e-mail from the Records Custodian: “After carefully reviewing your request. (sic) We do not have the responsive records.”

This response was perplexing and eventually suspicious to Plaintiff, given that Plaintiff subsequently uncovered through own effort at least one document that should have been in the District Attorney’s Office’s possession that was patently responsive to the request. 

*** 

Defendant [Willis] ultimately defaulted and this Court entered an Order on 2 December 2024 directing Defendant “to conduct a diligent search of her records for responsive materials” and to provide any responsive records that were not legally exempted from disclosure….

Defendant’s compliance with the Court’s 2 December Order consisted of an undated, unsigned two-page memo to Plaintiff from Defendant’s “Open Records Department.” … In this memo, Defendant announced that there still were no records responsive to one set of Plaintiff’s requests (communications with former Special Counsel Jack Smith) but that there were in fact records responsive to Plaintiff’s second set of requests (communications with the United States House January 6th Committee) – but those were exempt from disclosure….

Despite having previously informed Plaintiff four separate times that her team had carefully searched but found no responsive records, now there suddenly were – but they were not subject to disclosure under the ORA….

The ORA is not hortatory; it is mandatory. Non-compliance has consequences. One of them can be liability for the requesting party’s attorney’s fees and costs of litigation.

The court concludes its criticism of Willis’ actions, stating:

Most basically, by operation of law Defendant acknowledged violating the ORA when she defaulted. But actual evidence proves the same: per her Records Custodian’s own admission, the District Attorney’s Office flatly ignored Plaintiff’s original ORA request, conducting no search and simply (and falsely) informing the County’s Open Records Custodian that no responsive records existed. We know now that that is simply incorrect: once pressed by a Court order, Defendant managed to identify responsive records, but has categorized them as exempt. Even if the records prove to be just that – exempt from disclosure for sound public policy reasons – this late revelation is a patent violation of the ORA. And for none of this is there any justification, substantial or otherwise: no one searched until prodded by civil litigation.

Given this, the Court finds that relevant and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of litigation are properly awardable to Plaintiff … Defendant is thus liable to Plaintiff for $21,578 pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 50-18-73(b). That amount shall be paid within two weeks of the entry of this Order. 

In early December, Willis finally admitted to having records showing communications with the January 6 Committee but refused to release all but one document in response to the court order that found her in default. She cited a series of legal exemptions to justify the withholding of communications with the January 6 Committee. The only document she did release is one already public letter to January 6 Committee Chairman Benny Thompson (D-MS).  (Read more: Judicial Watch, 1/07/2025)  (Archive)

January 7, 2024 – 9 Congress critters who out-traded Nancy Pelosi in the stock market last year

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi outperformed the S&P 500 index by nearly 200% in 2024, but she still fell behind nine of her congressional colleagues.

Pelosi’s portfolio’s 70.9% increase from Dec. 29, 2023, to Dec. 30, 2024, was nearly triple the S&P 500’s 24.9% return, but it fell well below those of Republican North Carolina Rep. David Rouzer and Democratic Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who saw returns of 149% and 142.3% — topping the list of members of Congress. Democratic Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, Republican Texas Rep. Roger Williams and Democratic Kentucky Rep. Morgan McGarvey’s portfolios also saw double-digit increases, rising 123.8%, 111.2% and 105.8% in 2024, respectively, according to financial data platform Unusual Whales’ 2024 Congress Trading Report.

Pelosi’s annual returns also lagged behind those of Republican Reps. Larry Bucshon of Indiana and Pete Sessions of Texas, who saw increases of 98.6% and 95.2%, as well as Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins and Republican Tennessee Rep. David Kustoff, whose portfolios grew 77.5% and 71.5%, respectively, the trading data showed.

January 7, 2025 – Meta CEO Zuckerberg terminates Fact Checkers, panic and an emergency meeting ensues

International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) graphic (Credit: LinkedIn)

Meta’s so-called “independent fact-checkers” are reportedly scrambling after CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a major overhaul of the company’s controversial fact-checking initiative, which has been nothing more than a propaganda machine for leftist agendas.

On Tuesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the termination of the company’s controversial third-party fact-checking program.

(…) Now, the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), which has long been a cornerstone of Meta’s now-defunct program, is in full-blown crisis mode.

Hours after Meta’s announcement, IFCN director Angie Holan confirmed an emergency meeting to address the fallout.

“This program has been a major part of the global fact-checking community’s work for years,” Nolan told Business Insider. “People are upset because they saw themselves as partners in good standing with Meta, doing important work to make the platform more accurate and reliable.”

Holan and other fact-checkers have dismissed claims of censorship, insisting their role was merely to “add context.”

“It was never about censorship but about adding context to prevent false claims from going viral,” Holan claimed despite mounting evidence to prove otherwise.

For years, conservatives, including The Gateway Pundit, have experienced the real-world effects of this “context,” often finding their posts buried, flagged, or outright removed for challenging progressive orthodoxy.

Conservatives have long criticized Meta’s partnerships with left-leaning organizations like PolitiFact, acting as gatekeepers to stifle viewpoints that challenge liberal narratives. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 1/7/2025)  (Archive)

January 08, 2025 – The candidate slotted for the top intelligence spot on the National Security Council is ill-suited to serve Trump’s agenda

Donald Trump promised on the campaign trail to make war against the deep state. Now it seems the first battle may take place on home ground: the White House.

Congressional and intelligence sources tell Tablet that the candidate slotted in for the top intelligence spot on the National Security Council is ill suited to serve the president’s agenda. Adam Howard, reportedly the front-runner for the NSC’s senior director for intelligence, is currently staff director for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), chaired by Republican Congressman Mike Turner. According to several current congressional sources, multiple House members have raised concern over an alleged boast made by Turner on Capitol Hill that he’s “taking over Trump’s IC [Intelligence Community].” Presumably, Howard is meant to be his instrument.

On Sunday, Joshua Steinman, an NSC official from the first Trump administration, posted a long thread on X reporting that the current NSC is being staffed with holdovers from the Joe Biden administration and others unlikely to serve Trump’s agenda, including Howard, whose intelligence experience is limited to the two years he’s served as HPSCI staff director. Biden’s senior director for intelligence is Maher Bitar, an anti-Israel activist once affiliated with the Students for Justice in Palestine. Bitar also came from HPSCI, where he worked under then-Congressman now-Sen. Adam Schiff, one of Trump’s most vocal opponents on Capitol Hill.

“Without an operational intelligence background, you can’t clean up the mess made by the current [Biden] team,” wrote Steinman.

“[Is Howard] willing to expose IC dirty tricks targeting the President?” Steinman asked in his X thread. He was not outlining a hypothetical but rather referring to the NSC’s work in the first Trump White House uncovering the surveillance of the president and his aides. After the 2016 election, NSC staffers found that Obama officials had unmasked the names of transition team officials in transcripts of foreign intelligence intercepts, most notably Gen. Michael Flynn. Trump’s onetime national security adviser was unmasked by at least 40 Obama officials—including now President Joe Biden.

The unlawful leak to the media of Flynn’s phone conversation with Russia’s U.S. ambassador led first to the combat veteran’s departure from the White House and subsequently the special counsel investigation that hobbled the first half of Trump’s first term in office. NSC holdovers from the Obama administration bogged down the Trump team and one holdover, CIA official Eric Ciaramella, teed up the first impeachment of Trump.

Turner in fact was excellent during the impeachment process, using the televised hearings to defend the president and break down Schiff’s anti-Trump witnesses. After Turner took over the committee, he was reportedly keen to reset relations with Schiff and the Democrats and move toward bipartisanship. The problem is that it’s hard to have comity with a faction led by an ambitious activist like Schiff who saw the committee as a political weapon to target opponents.

There’s a lot riding on the current NSC starting off on the strongest possible footing and with an eye to defending a commander in chief certain to be in the deep state’s crosshairs. Steinman concluded his thread with the observation that if the new intel director “isn’t 100% on board with the Trump Agenda, we are in for trouble.” (Read more: Tablet, 1/09/2025)  (Archive)

January 10, 2025 – Alexander Vindman slams Mike Waltz plan to clear deep staters from National Security Council

Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman criticized incoming National Security Adviser Mike Waltz’s plan to clear out each “intelligence official” serving in “various departments and agencies” throughout the federal government who is “currently detailed” to the National Security Council (NSC).

In a post on X, Vindman responded to an interview Waltz had with Breitbart News’s Washington bureau chief Matthew Boyle, where Waltz spoke about how intelligence officials serving in various departments and agencies under President Joe Biden’s administration would be “expected to vacate the premises by 12:01 p.m. Eastern” on January 20, when President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated.

“Yesterday, President Trump’s National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz @michaelgwaltz, announced a sweeping directive to terminate all national security staffers loaned from other departments and agencies who serve in apolitical, non-partisan senior staff roles,” Vindman wrote.

He continued:

Waltz framed this decision as a means to eliminate Biden-era appointees and enforce absolute alignment with Trump’s policy agenda. Notably, Waltz justified this move by referencing my role in exposing Trump’s abuse of power, which led to his first impeachment. Using my actions as a rationale, Waltz aims to purge scores of professionals from the Department of Defense, Department of State, CIA, and other agencies—not because of their conduct, but due to a demand for blind allegiance to Trump.

Breitbart News’s Matthew Boyle explained how the NSC works:

The way the NSC works is the National Security Adviser oversees a team of political appointees from the president who oversee a wide range of what are called “detailees”—people who work at the various agencies and departments across the federal government who are assigned, or detailed, to work at the White House for a period of time on the NSC in a portfolio in which they demonstrate expertise. These career intelligence officials come from places as wide-ranging as the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the Pentagon, and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and report up to the political appointees atop each major portfolio in the NSC. The NSC has various issue-specific portfolios like counterterrorism and cyber policy as well as regional portfolios focused on things like the western hemisphere or the Middle East or Europe or Asia. The detailees then help coordinate back to the various agencies and departments so the whole federal government executes on the decisions that the president makes.

January 10, 2025 – Eight years ago today, Jake Tapper planted the seeds of the Russia collusion hoax in the media

On January [10], 2017, Jake Tapper, Karl, Bernstein, Jim Sciutto, and Evan Perez dropped an article at CNN based on BuzzFeed’s report of the fake dossier, titled Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him.

It began,

“Classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that Russian operators claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings to CNN.”

One paragraph says,

“The classified briefing last week was represented by four of the senior most senior US intelligence chiefs – director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and NSA director Admiral Mike Rogers. Allegedly, they told the president-elect about this because such allegations involving him are circulating among intelligence agencies, senior members of Congress and other government officials in Washington, multiple sources, Tennessee, CNN.”

One paragraph stepped it up so Congress would demand to see it:

“Sources tell CNN that these same allegations about communications between the Trump campaign and the Russians, mentioned in classified briefings for congressional leaders last year, prompted then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid to send a letter to FBI Director Comey in October, in which he wrote, “It has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government – a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States.”

The purpose of it was to begin to cast suspicions on the President-elect and whet the public’s appetite to know the details.

The Fake Dossier

There’s a lot more, and you can read the article, but we now know that Hillary Clinton‘s close apparatchiks planned the dossier. Her DNC paid them to come up with dirt by any means necessary. It was written from clearly fraudulent information by a very compromised Russian tied to the Kremlin, who later admitted he made it up.

To make it believable, they found a Trump-hating ex-MI-6 agent named Christopher Steele to put it together. (Read more: Independent Sentinel, 1/13/2025)  (Archive)

January 11, 2025 – The DC UniParty and the SSCI have one overarching issue they will defend, support for the surveillance state

Washington DC is creating a surveillance state.  We can debate the motives and intentions behind it, but the core of their creation aligns and supports a fully comprehensive American surveillance state.

We cannot be intellectually honest with each other about how the tools of a weaponized government were deployed against Americans, specifically in the example of presidential candidate Donald Trump, without accepting the tools exist for far more consequential reasons than just Donald Trump.

In this segment from April of 2024, Tucker Carlson (motive irrelevant) accurately outlined the purpose of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and how that legislatively created tool is being used by Washington DC, both parties.

Within this monologue Tucker Carlson hits on some accurate points to share with his audience.  The commentary about HPSCI Chairman Mike Turner is spot on accurate.  The IC pressure meetings are also true {SEE HERE}. The analysis of Speaker Mike Johnson also appears to be widely accurate.   WATCH:

My personal experience with the IC surveillance state mirrors that described by Tucker Carlson. As you step into the world of real data, unfiltered by the systems intended to control our perspectives, the system tends to see you as a threat.

Ongoing research into the dollar-based Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) has made the surveillance system much more visible. All of these systems (Real ID, Digital Identity, Facial Recognition, metadata collection, AI search and result capability, etc.) are eventually going to merge and connect, unless we do something to stop the people who are creating this system.

Previously in 2013, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz and former Department of Defense Chief of Staff, Kash Patel, appeared on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss President Donald Trump’s criminal case, the J6 targeting and the use of FISA-702 to conduct political surveillance.

I am prompting the earlier video to 02:20 to focus one aspect of the interview on the 2013 Republican led FISA-702 reauthorization and extension. I agree with almost everything Mr Patel says about the ramifications of the GOPe House, led by HPSCI Chairman Mike Turner, and the FISA extension. However, there is also an aspect that 99% of everyone misses, and within that dynamic we become victims to our own willful blindness. First, watch the segment on FISA-702 (prompted):

To remind….

The CIA director, NSA director, ODNI, FBI Director, etc are not in charge of the compartments they represent. They are simply functionaries -middle men- who operate in the space between where the compass points are directed, where the data originates, and oversight of that data that is ultimately filtered and delivered to the functionaries, who then brief the representatives…. who then create policy… albeit flawed policy…. based on a very specific, controlled, compartmented and skewed information flow. (more)

The value of Kash Patel’s institutional currency is connected to this access, even with Republicans in charge. The same is true for any other member of the Intelligence Community, including John Ratcliffe, current CIA silo nominee.

As a result, the corrupt DC functionaries operate without any accountability, no corrective action ever takes place, no accountability is metered out, and WORSE…. an oblivious public cheer on people like Kash Patel and many others who give the illusion they are railing against corruption.

For those who choose denial and pretending over the brutal reality, their criticism of me is irrelevant. The truth exists regardless of our comfort level.

Accepting we are abused victims to professional gaslighting, manipulation and Machiavellian deceit, carried out by those who claim to be our allies, is painful and unnerving. However, failing to accept the reality only retains our status as victims; we become codependent enablers and battered conservatives. The surveillance system continues to be assembled and refined. It is a remarkable dynamic.

Many people can now see how DC functionaries played this intelligence game against President Donald Trump, using the false justification of “national security.” However, those same voices cannot see how we are continually being played by the same defenders of a corrupt system within DC.

Changing the system first begins by awakened people thinking about the long-term ramifications from what is being assembled. What is the value of national security, when the liberty that secures the values of America is destroyed in the process?

Either the Fourth Amendment means something, or it does not!

January 12, 2025 – Chris Wray reveals right before resigning that China has penetrated U.S.’s critical infrastructure

Outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during an interview on Sunday, a week before he steps down, that China has penetrated America’s water treatment plants, electric grid, and other critical civilian infrastructure, and is lying “in wait” for an opportunity to cyberattack at a time and place of its choosing.

Asked on CBS’s 60 Minutes about Chinese penetration of U.S. cyber and infrastructure, Wray said China’s cyber program is the largest in the world and has stolen more of Americans’ personal and corporate data than every nation combined. Then, he added:

But even beyond the cyber theft. There’s another part of the Chinese cyber threat that I think has not gotten the attention publicly that it I think desperately deserves. And that is Chinese government’s pre-positioning on American civilian critical infrastructure. To lie in wait on those networks to be in a position to wreak havoc and can inflict real-world harm at a time and place of their choosing.

Wray said China has already infiltrated malware into critical American infrastructure.

“Things like water treatment plants. We’re talking about transportation systems. We’re talking about targeting of our energy sector, the electric grid, natural gas pipelines. And recently we’ve seen targeting of our telecommunications systems,” he said.

Wray said China has also been listening into Americans’ calls.

CBS News said China has gathered communications of U.S. national security officials, as well as the Kamala Harris campaign and President-Elect Donald Trump himself.

The revelation prompted outrage from former Trump administration officials who say Wray did not do enough to stem the threat from China on his watch, only to discuss it publicly a week from stepping down.

January 12, 2025 – Jake Sullivan says Biden is handing over a stronger, more secure country to Trump

January 12, 2025 – DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas seeks to kill Laken Riley Act

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is reportedly attempting to kill the Laken Riley Act, a bill that requires the DHS to take illegal aliens who have been charged, arrested, or convicted for crimes such as theft, larceny, burglary or shoplifting into custody.

Pablo Manriquez, a news reporter, wrote in a post on X that “sources at DHS” were informing him that the cost of the Laken Riley Act was estimated to be between $20-$30 billion.

Manriquez added that the DHS sources had cited “a $7 billion figure just for beds BEFORE the mandate’s costs on local law enforcement.”

The post from Manriquez came in response to an article shared by Stef Kight, a political reporter with Axios. In the article from Axios, it was revealed that “federal immigration officials” had warned that they may need to detain roughly 60,000 people and require “billions of dollars and thousands more detention beds.”

As Breitbart News’s John Binder previously reported, at the beginning of January the House of Representatives passed the Laken Riley Act, despite receiving opposition from 159 Democrats.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has been one of the Democrats who has supported the Laken Riley Act.

“ICE reported tens of thousands of migrants with criminal records — homicide or sexual assault,” Fetterman wrote in a post on X.

Fetterman added that 425,000 migrants “have criminal records in total and should be deported.”

“I support a secure border. I support a legal path for Dreamers. I support the Laken Riley Act,” Fetterman continued. (Read more: Breitbart News, 1/12/2025) (Archive)

January 12, 2025 – General Flynn: The CIA’s Continuing War on Donald Trump

(…) CIA Opposition to Candidate Trump

During the 2016 campaign, “the CIA … overtly threw its weight behind Hillary Clinton’s candidacy and sought to defeat Donald Trump.” This was not a covert operation — it was an in-Trump’s-face effort to defeat him, planting seeds for the Russiagate hoax. “In August [2016], former acting CIA Director Michael Morell announced his endorsement of Clinton in the New York Times and claimed that ‘Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.’ GWB’s CIA and NSA director Michael Hayden also endorsed Clinton and used the CIA-friendly Washington Post to warn, in the week before the election, that ‘Donald Trump really does sound a lot like Vladimir Putin.’”

CIA Opposition to President Trump

After Trump’s victory, the CIA “concluded” that Russia had interfered by hacking emails from the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. The FBI accepted the conclusion of the Clinton Campaign vendor CrowdStrike that Russia did the hacking, even though that company later admitted it had no proof. While the CIA libeled Trump as essentially a Russian agent, “Brennan also had intel saying ‘actually Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win because she was a known quantity, she had been secretary of state, and Vladimir Putin’s team thought she was more malleable, while candidate Donald Trump was unpredictable’” — and Brennan covered it up. In “concluding” that Russia wanted Trump, Brennan, “the most politicized intelligence chief in American history,” allowed “no dissenting views or even … reviews by outside experts.” As Blaze News noted:

While Donald Trump was president, theCIA launched a full-scale operation to remove him from office for daring to question the agency…. Brennan initiated the Russia collusion hoax by leaking the “Steele dossier,” a complete fabrication based on false information from Russian intelligence officials. Brennan misled the press, claiming the dossier was CIA intelligence…. This was the CIA’s attempt to stage a domestic coup and take down a sitting president.

Fox News’ Jesse Watters described how Brennan and the CIA “manipulated other assessments, buried high-quality intelligence, and then manufactured a conclusion that 17 agencies agreed Russia interfered in the 2016 elections to help Trump and then the press ran with it, and the country was brainwashed.” Trump correctly noted that his CIA attackers were “the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.”

In August 2019, the Washington Examiner reported that “[f]ormer CIA Director John Brennan says world leaders view President Trump as not only ‘incompetent,’ but also ‘delusional.’” In late October 2020, as Trump and Biden prepared for their second presidential debate, former acting CIA Director Michael Morell sent an email to another former director, Obama-appointed John Brennan. He asked Brennan to sign on to a letter claiming that the New York Post expose on Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian “disinformation.” Morell later admitted that the intent of the letter was to “help Vice President Biden … because I wanted him to win the election.” Brennan responded, “Ok, Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on.” Of the 51 “current and former intelligence officials” who signed the letter designed to defeat Trump, 42 were current or former CIA.

Also in 2019, Real Clear Investigations reported that the so-called “whistleblower” who claimed a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian officials that was cited as a charge in Trump’s first impeachment, was actually CIA operative Eric Ciaramella, “a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House, [who] previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump who helped initiate the Russia ‘collusion’ investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.” Ciaramella “huddled for ‘guidance’ with the staff of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, including former colleagues also held over from the Obama era whom Schiff’s office had recently recruited….”

January 13, 2025 – Cringeworthy Jennifer Rubin and Norm Eisen join in a myriad of forces to get Trump 2.0

Congressman Jamie Raskin joins the Norm Eisen team to help thwart Trumps presidency! The planning for the Trump dictator and Hitler theme has been in use since at least Feb 2024. This will be the basis to seditiously fight his presidency. They also intend to use the Trump supporting Project 2025 fake narrative theme also.

Others included are:

Susan Corke, George Conway, Bill Kristol, Keith Ellison, Joanna Lyndgate, Sarah Longwell ACLU, and Jen Rubin.

This all now falls under the State Democracy Defenders:

“We go on OFFENSE against democracy deniers who break the law, including through our innovative program of outside public support for criminal prosecutions.”

They also have what they call a NO DICTATORS DECLARATION.

“We are alarmed about the rising autocratic movement in the United States that threatens the American idea and the American people.

January 6, 2021, represented an ugly inflection point of this movement and it is driving forward with authoritarian proposals like Project 2025 that constitute an assault on the freedoms of every American. This movement threatens to eviscerate our rights, our prosperity, and our stability and security upon which our nation and the world rely.”

*To me, Norm Eisen and Bill Kristol are like Soros without the billions.

Funders include:

– Reid Hoffman
– MORAN, GARRETT M
– HORING, JEFFREY L
– DINTERSMITH, TED
– Etc

Their No Dictators coalition bands together the ACLU, State Democracy Defenders, and Principles First

One State Democracy Defenders event was the ANTI-AUTOCRACY MOVEMENT.

The event was co-hosted by: State Democracy Defenders Action, Principles First, Democracy Forward, and The American Autocracy Threat Tracker, in partnership with convening co-chairs Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Ty Cobb, Norm Eisen, Bill Kristol, Heath Mayo, and Skye Perryman.

“The American Autocracy Threat Tracker is a comprehensive catalog based on Donald Trump and his associates’ plans, promises, and propositions.”

*This listing is extensive!

Now, Norm Eisen and crew discussed this autocracy tracker on the involved MSNBC in Feb 2024 while making outlandish accusations.

“By Norman Eisen, co-founder and a board member of State Democracy Defenders Action and Andrew Warren, state attorney for Hillsborough County, Florida”

“Norman Eisen is the co-founder and a board member of States United Action, a nonpartisan group dedicated to free, fair, secure elections.”

(MSNBC later edited this Feb 2024 article to add the State Democracy Defenders for Eisen, which was created April 2024 and removed mention of his States United. Which makes it appear that this was all started under States United.)

“Arguably Trump’s scariest rhetoric, however, relates to how he continually demonizes Americans with whom he disagrees. He has called those who don’t support him “demonic forces.”

“Echoing fascist dictators like Hitler and Mussolini, Trump has labeled those who oppose him as “vermin” and has vowed to root them out. This is not politics as usual, harmless humor or careless hyperbole.”

So there we have it, sources to follow.

January 14, 2025 – Top Pentagon advisor reveals he had a conversation “with a couple of retired generals to explore what we can do” to ‘protect people from Trump’ – Update: Mannina has been fired

O’Keefe Media Group has released footage from their investigation into Department of Defense advisor Jamie Mannina, revealing that he’s working behind the scenes with third-party groups and retired generals to undermine Trump’s incoming administration.

O’Keefe was in Washington, DC, this past weekend exposing Deep State employees who gave up information on plans to sabotage President Trump’s incoming administration. The Gateway Pundit spoke to O’Keefe Sunday, and he shared that more tapes are coming this week, which expose various Deep State agencies, including the DOD and Executive Office of the White House’s plans to sabotage the incoming Trump Administration.

Watch the full interview here.

(…) O’Keefe’s latest release exposes a DoD official

O’Keefe said in an X post earlier today, “I’ve reached out to the Pentagon for comment and they responded. They’re taking this very seriously…”

Mannina says he works at a ” top consulting firm” for the Pentagon, and he previously worked as an FBI Special Agent. “I became a spy hunter,” he ironically told an undercover journalist who, for all he knows, was a foreign spy.

Mannina says he works for “top consulting firm,” whose client is the Pentagon.

During the meeting with an undercover journalist, Mannina revealed that he had a “huge, huge meeting with military leaders in a very secure room called the Tank.” “So we have a Tank meeting with all of the top, top leaders of the United States’ Military tomorrow on my topic that I prepared,” he said.

Mannina says he’s “a little worried,” and he’ll try to do what he can with retired generals to stop the Trump Administration.

UPDATE:

UPDATE:

January 14, 2025 – Leaked Zuckerberg Tapes reveal he gave hundreds of thousands of $’s in free ad credits to boost Biden Covid narratives

NEW ZUCKERBERG TAPES: LEAKED AUDIO of Rockefeller Foundation Staff Reveals
@Facebook’s $500K Ad Credit Scheme to Boost Biden-Aligned COVID Health Narratives

“More to come, just trying to get all the freebies from tech!”

“We negotiated $100,000 ad credits per pilot city… We also got ad credits for Governor Cuomo.”

“Keep a running tab of the number of free ads you’ve unlocked… That’d be a fun stat!”

“Facebook gave them [The Rockefeller Foundation] a hundred thousand dollars in ad credits per city,” revealed an inside source from the Rockefeller organization. According to recordings leaked to Citizen Journalism Foundation by the inside source, Facebook granted ad credits to the Rockefeller Foundation, amounting to at least “five hundred thousand dollars,” in 2021.

These credits were used to amplify public health initiatives and narratives aligned with the Biden administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO). John Spangler, the Former Director of Communications and Advocacy at the Rockefeller Foundation stated, “We’re offering them a lot of support,” while Estelle Willie, Director of Health Policy and Communications, chimed, “More to come, just trying to get all the freebies from tech!”

Spangler noted ongoing efforts to “help them [The Rockefeller Foundation] get, like, some ad credits from Facebook to support the study,” while Willie suggested keeping a tally of the free ads secured.

The group described using “tent pole moments” to increase public engagement with health messaging, likening the efforts to selling a “hot new product,” and calling their public health campaign approach “the sizzle and the steak.”

Notably, the leaked tapes coincide with a shift in Facebook’s content moderation policies. Mark Zuckerberg announced that the platform would abandon traditional fact-checking in favor of a Community Notes system. However, Zuckerberg’s public statements present a contrast to the internal actions revealed in the audio. While he has claimed that the Biden administration “pushed [Facebook] super hard” to suppress certain content, the ad credit grants suggest active collaboration to amplify specific narratives.

January 14, 2025 – Syria Psyop Theater: Mass Graves, Mass Deceptions

(Credit: Uncaptured Media)

Western media, U.S. government officials and allied NGOs promote evidence-free claims of Syrian government mass graves while ignoring documented HTS and ISIS mass graves.(Part 2 of a 2 part series) Read Part 1 here.

For over a decade of color revolutions and destabilization plots in West Asia and North Africa, U.S. government officials with their allied NGOs and media outlets have summoned the spectre of mass graves to justify their interventionist policies.

“As President, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action,” President Barack Obama declared in a March 2011 speech justifying Operation Odyssey Dawn, the U.S. airstrikes that led to the deposal and grisly murder of Libyan president Moammar Qadaffi.

“Why batter Colonel Qaddafi and not intervene on the side of the opposition in Yemen, Bahrain, perhaps even Syria?,” The Economist wondered.

From the earliest days of the Syrian crisis, Western media began to disseminate anonymously-sourced and unverified claims of mass graves, particularly in the cities of Homs and Deraa, while ignoring the presence of armed opposition groups and their killings of Syrian police and military personnel.

Father Frans van der Lugt, a Dutch Jesuit priest who had spent decades in Syria before being murdered by armed opposition groups in 2014, wrote that “From the start I saw armed demonstrators marching along in the protests, who began to shoot at the police first. The violence of the security forces has been a reaction to the brutal violence of the armed rebels.”

“The opposition of the street is much stronger than any other opposition. And this opposition is armed and frequently employs brutality and violence, only in order to blame the government,” he wrote in another report.

This sort of vital information was rarely included in reports, certainly not by mainstream media outlets and billionaire-funded human rights groups.

(…) While Western media focus on the Syrian military’s mass grave in Tadamon, they have omitted the overwhelming majority of documented mass graves made by anti-government terrorist groups in Tadamon and throughout the country in territory that opposition forces had held.

In late 2011, Jabhat al-Nusra (which would go on to become Hayat Tahrir al-Sham), Ahrar al-Sham, Jaish al-Islam, and Jaish al-Fatah began to use the Idlib province’s Al-Habat quarry as a mass grave, according to a 2021 report by the Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression. Militants threw into the quarry Syrian soldiers, members of government-allied militias, people accused of collaboration with the government, people accused of apostasy, adultery, or homosexuality, and Shia Muslim residents of the village of Foua and Kefraya (condemned as “infidels”), earning it the title “the Al-Ahm death hole.”

January 15, 2025 – Speaker Johnson removes Mike Turner as chair of House Intelligence Committee

House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Mike Turner (Credit: public domain)

House Speaker Mike Johnson booted Rep. Mike Turner as Chairman of the House Intel Committee at Trump’s request, WaPo reported.

Update: Trump’s team says Trump did not request Mike Johnson oust Mike Turner.

(…) “Speaker Mike Johnson has removed Mike Turner as chair House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, three people familiar with the decision tell POLITICO. Turner has been an outspoken advocate for Ukraine funding and other hawkish national security stances.” – Politico reported.

Tension between Speaker Johnson and Mike Turner has been simmering for nearly a year.

Last February, Mike Turner desperately sounded the alarm about a vague ‘serious national security threat’ after Speaker Johnson killed a Senate bill with Ukraine aid.

According to a leak to CNN, the threat was supposedly “related to Russia.”

January 15, 2025 – Trump posts ‘blacklist’ of candidates who need not apply for jobs in his White House

(Credit: Legal Insurrection)

On Wednesday night, President-elect Donald Trump took to Truth Social to share a list of individuals who will be excluded from consideration for roles in his second administration. Highlighting that his team has already hired more than 1,000 “outstanding” individuals, he wrote:

In order to save time, money, and effort, it would be helpful if you would not send, or recommend to us, people who worked with, or are endorsed by, Americans for No Prosperity (headed by Charles Koch), “Dumb as a Rock” John Bolton, “Birdbrain” Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, disloyal Warmongers Dick Cheney, and his Psycho daughter, Liz, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, General(?) Mark Milley, James Mattis, Mark Yesper, or any of the other people suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, more commonly known as TDS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Predictably, this post did not sit well with our friends on the Left side of the aisle. One man attached Trump’s comments to a post on X with the caption, “Trump makes clear that he is discriminating against candidates for administration jobs if they have links to his political opponents or critics.”

Discrimination? I call it discernment.


It’s not only understandable that Trump would avoid hiring individuals associated with those who actively undermined or opposed his first-term agenda—and, in many cases, continued that opposition over the following four years, it’s essential. Naturally, he wants to surround himself with loyal staffers who share his vision and will steadfastly support his goals. Every president does.

Personnel decisions can often shape the course of a presidency. For example, President Lincoln replaced five commanding generals during the Civil War before finally selecting Ulysses S. Grant, who ultimately led the Union to victory.

Poor hiring decisions significantly hampered Trump’s first term, a point he has openly acknowledged. For instance, Trump should have replaced FBI Director James Comey upon taking office, rather than allowing him to remain in the role. Other blunders included appointing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, and the outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray.

At a Fox News town hall in September, Trump was asked, “What could you share that you’ve learned from your first time being in the Oval Office for those who are hesitant to vote for you now?”

Trump replied, “The most important thing I found, and you can say this is true in business also, we have to get the right people. I didn’t know much about Washington. I was there 17 times in my whole life. And I wasn’t in D.C. very much.”

He continued, “But I got to know ’em, and I got to know ’em the hard way. And I know the good ones, the bad ones, the weak ones, the smart ones, the dumb ones. I know ’em all now.”

January 16, 2025 – Weissmann believes Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi is ‘not tethered to facts’ and thinks ‘we’re in for a ‘rough ride’

MSNBC contributor Andrew Weissmann said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that President-elect Donald Trump’s Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi was “not tethered to facts.”

Weissmann said, “Well, it was a really interesting hearing because Pam Bondi, on paper, is somebody who has qualifications for the job. She was the AG in Florida. She’s an experienced prosecutor. She was very poised and articulate and clearly is smart. She said some of the right things about there won’t be an enemies list that it’s important for the department to be independent. She said all those things, however, and there’s a huge but and that is when you actually tested that by saying, was there fraud in the election that was outcome determinative or are the January 6th, people who are convicted, are they in fact political prisoners and not just defendants who have been given all of their rights? She couldn’t bring herself to show the independence that the Attorney General position requires. So although she would say things that on one hand that sounded good when push came to shove, when she was tested on it, she really could not bring herself to say anything that would be disruptive or unpleasant for the president-elect, which is part of the job of being the attorney general.”

He added, “So you have somebody who’s not who’s going to be the Attorney General. She will sail through because she’s not Matt Gaetz and she is not Robert Kennedy Junior, and she’s not Kash Patel, but still, she’s not tethered to facts, you know, to sit there and say Kash Patel is the right person for the job, I mean, that is really preposterous. To say that there’s fraud in the election in Pennsylvania, there are no facts to support that. To parrot that you’re going to be governed by facts and law, as the Attorney General can be tested by then looking at specific instances where she’s absolutely not guided by facts. So we’re really in for a rough ride.”

January 16, 2025 – Former Rep. Lee Zeldin, nominated to head the EPA, believes it should not be an “armed bureaucracy” conducting raids on businesses

Former Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York said Thursday he believed the Environmental Protection Agency should not be an “armed bureaucracy.”

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) carried out a raid with dozens of armed agents on a mine near Chicken, Alaska, in August 2013, according to Fox News. Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska asked Zeldin, who President-elect Donald Trump nominated to serve as EPA administrator, about the use of armed agents to conduct raids during a Thursday hearing, saying that the Biden administration was conducting armed raids similar to the 2013 raid on “small mechanic shops” in his state.

“The Biden administration has done these raids on small mechanic shops in Alaska. They bring up EPA agents from all over the country, 30 armed agents kicking in doors in mechanic shops in Alaska,” Sullivan said. “By the way, my state believes in the Second Amendment, most of my state is armed, this is very dangerous because some of these age[nt]s could get shot when they’re coming in.”

Sullivan did not immediately respond to a request from the Daily Caller News Foundation for more information on the raids.

Sullivan has clashed with the Biden administration over its environmental policies, including restrictions on a type of aviation fuel used by many Alaskans. (Read more: The Daily Caller, 1/16/2025)  (Archive)

January 16, 2025 – Pfizer bribes doctors to promote migraine drug; Defrauds Medicare and other federal health programs; pays $60 million in settlement

Pfizer engaged in unethical practices to push prescriptions of its migraine medication, Nurtec ODT, also known as Rimegepant. (Credit: Nurtec)

(…) The scandal revolves around Biohaven Pharmaceutical, a company acquired by Pfizer in October 2022, which engaged in unethical practices to push prescriptions of its migraine medication, Nurtec ODT, also known as Rimegepant.

Whistleblower Patricia Frattasio, a former sales representative at Biohaven, played a crucial role in bringing these malpractices to light, leading to a qui tam lawsuit under the False Claims Act in 2021.

The U.S. Department of Justice disclosed that from March 2020 through September 2022, Biohaven manipulated the healthcare system by offering kickbacks—including speaker honoraria and lavish meals at upscale restaurants—to healthcare professionals.

Allegations include that Biohaven paid some healthcare providers over $100,000 to boost prescriptions of their migraine medication, Nurtec ODT, resulting in fraudulent claims to federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

This egregious scheme involved not just ordinary incentives, but also repeated, unnecessary educational programs that offered no real benefit to attendees, turning these events into mere facades for bribery.

This practice, aimed at increasing Nurtec ODT prescriptions, breached anti-kickback statutes designed to keep medical decisions free from financial influence.

Under the terms of the settlement, Biohaven does not admit liability but has agreed to pay the United States and participating Medicaid states a total of $59,746,277.54.

This amount includes interest and restitution, addressing claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and the Veterans Health Administration from March 2020 through September 2022.  (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 1/26/2025)  (Archive)

January 17, 2025 – HHS has cut off all funding and formally debars EcoHealth Alliance and its former President, Dr. Peter Daszak, for five years

 WASHINGTON — Today, after an eight-month investigation, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) cut off all funding and formally debarred EcoHealth Alliance Inc. (EcoHealth) and its former President, Dr. Peter Daszak, for five years based on evidence uncovered by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. In a new letter, HHS states “that a period of debarment for Dr. Daszak is necessary to protect the Federal Government’s business interests.” This letter also confirms that EcoHealth terminated Dr. Daszak’s employment effective January 6, 2025. EcoHealth and Dr. Daszak facilitated gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China without proper oversight and willingly violated multiple requirements of its multimillion-dollar National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant.

House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued the following statement in response to the formal debarment:

“Justice for the American people was served today. Bad actor EcoHealth Alliance and its corrupt former President, Dr. Peter Daszak, were formally debarred by HHS for using taxpayer funds to facilitate dangerous gain-of-function research in China. Today’s decision is not only a victory for the U.S. taxpayer, but also for American national security and the safety of citizens worldwide.

“In May 2024, Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup released evidence that EcoHealth repeatedly violated the terms of its NIH grant. EcoHealth routinely ignored government oversight requests, failed to report dangerous gain-of-function experiments conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and produced a required research report two years late. HHS cited all of these discoveries as key reasons for formally debarring EcoHealth and Dr. Daszak. Given that a lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research is the most likely origin of COVID-19, EcoHealth and its former President should never again receive a single cent from the U.S. taxpayer.”

January 17, 2025 – Dem megadonor Reid Hoffman, noted for his Epstein ties, leaves a premier Pentagon advisory board

Reid Hoffman (Credit: TheFamousPeople)

Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman appears to have quietly left a premier Pentagon advisory board after the election of Donald Trump, raising questions about whether he quit the organization on his own or was forced off because of his work to keep Trump out of the White House.

Hoffman joined the Defense Innovation Board, chaired by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, in October 2022. The group provides advice to the Pentagon on how to implement new technologies into the military and work more efficiently with private companies.

Hoffman, the cofounder of LinkedIn, was listed as a board member until at least Nov. 27, according to archived versions of its website, but is no longer listed there. If Hoffman was forced off the board, it would be the latest example of a federal agency cleaning house ahead of Trump’s second term. Trump has said he will not allow Democrats or Republicans afflicted with what he called “Trump Derangement Syndrome” to work in federal agencies. In December, the FBI quietly shut its Diversity and Inclusion office.

Hoffman’s position on the board caused outcry from Republicans over his ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his funding for controversial political projects to help Democrats. And in July, Hoffman came under fire after he said he hoped his political tactics would make Donald Trump an “actual martyr.” Days later, a gunman attempted to assassinate Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

The National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative legal group, called for Hoffman to “be dismissed” from the board because of what it called Hoffman’s “irresponsible and dangerous remarks” about Trump.

The Defense Innovation Board noted that request at its July 17 board meeting, according to board records. Bloomberg discussed the attempted assassination, though he did not speak about Hoffman’s remarks or acknowledge the National Legal and Policy Center complaint, according to a transcript of the meeting.

The Pentagon, the Innovation board, and members of the board did not respond to requests for comment about Hoffman’s departure.

January 18, 2025 – Speaker Mike Johnson describes a Biden WH meeting as an “ambush,” with top Democrats and the CIA Director in attendance

Does everyone realize what was just said here?

Speaker Mike Johnson not only confirms that Joe Biden isn’t in control and signing executive orders he doesn’t understand but that to meet with Biden, The CIA Director had to be present

He just confirmed The CIA is running our country, not the president

This just confirmed another “conspiracy theory”

“They invited me to the White House. I show up and I realize it’s actually an ambush ’cause it’s not just me and the president. It’s also Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem, you know, The CIA Director”

So top Democrats and then The CIA Director…. Isn’t that interesting…

“Who is running the country? Like, I don’t know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn’t know.”

Sounds like it was The CIA…

January 18, 2025 – 12 disgraceful acts Biden has committed (so far) on his way out of the White House

While set to leave office in the next few days, Biden isn’t done making stupid and dangerous decisions that harm Americans.

By now, most Americans are familiar with the horrendous policies enacted by outgoing President Joe Biden. From leaving our southern border wide open to driving up inflation, the Democrat commander-in-chief’s tenure in the Oval Office has been an unequivocal disaster for the country and its citizens.

While Biden is set to leave office in disgrace in the next few days, that doesn’t mean he and the left-wing radicals running his administration are finished making stupid and dangerous decisions. In fact, they’re doing everything in their power to thumb their noses at the voters who overwhelmingly rejected their failed “leadership” on their way out the White House door.

January 19, 2025 – USAID funded censorship programs intent on shutting down and demonetizing conservative news

Elon Musk sues Center for Countering Digital Hate for its hate speech research, August 2023. (Credit: Rappler)

The Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) partnered with Restless Development (youth collective) to counter Covid Disinformation. And the best part? Restless Development is funded by the US government along [with]the Obama Foundation, Gates, Clinton’s, and other foreign governments!

This joint effort bragged about getting conservative news orgs such as the Gateway Pundit, the Federalist, and Zero Hedge reported to social media AND demonetized! Especially from Google!

Organisers say the campaign was inspired by Sleeping Giants in the US, which persuaded brands not to advertise on Breitbart.

Restless Development is global, and promotes social justice, climate justice, UN developmental goals, feminism, inclusivity, gender transformation, and anti-racism.

Let’s start off with some of the Restless Development funding (see photo)

-Obama Foundation
-USAID
-US Department of Health and Human Services
-Clinton Health Initiative
-Bill and Melinda Gates
-United Nations
-The Swedish International
Development Agency
-Norwegian Agency For Exchange Cooperation (NOREC)
-Irish Aid
-Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office
-Ford Foundation
-Danish International
-Development Agency
-Plus more

Considering Bill Gates funds them, I can see why they were so bent on targeting information posted about him.

This also started running exclusively out of the UK in April/May 2020 and it expanded later.

Imran Ahmed, CEO, CCDH. May 6 2020:

“The initiative is currently working with volunteers in the UK, but their reach across social media is global. The project will be expanded to work with volunteers in different countries around the world.”

Let’s start off with how it’s organized.

♦️CCDH and Restless Development

1. Youth Against Misinformation (YAM) – name of project

A. Youth Against Fake News (Org used to do the work, and was later renamed to the below.)
B. Youth Against Misinformation (new name)

Now here’s how this works, and as for the blocklists, I have a few examples:

“The Record and Report team spent shifts combing through misinformation Facebook groups, Instagram and Twitter accounts, sourcing explicit examples of misinformation and reporting them to the respective platforms.

We would visit these websites and screenshot adverts next to the article headline, then contact the advertising brands via Twitter and email.

We included information from CCDH on the nature of the website and their content and requested that they blacklist those sites from featuring their adverts, therefore reducing the profitability of misinformation.”

“Since YAM volunteers began working on CCDH’s Stop Funding Fake News campaign we have contacted over 250 different brands, with around 40 responding that they’ve taken action.”

They also interacted with social media users.

“They began by identifying tweets that
contained misinformation, then tweeted the users to request their
deletion whilst sharing advice from CCDH on how to avoid spreading
it.”

“The reports produced from this collaboration have been used in
US Congress, UK Parliament, in gov briefings and media reporting across the world, particularly influencing the deliberations surrounding the Online Safety Bill and the scope of online harms.”

The Stop Funding Misinformation campaign also carries blocklists (see photo).

Here’s a sampling:

– Gateway Pundit
– Zero Hedge
– Federalist
– Breitbart
– Rebel News
– AM Greatness
-Etc..

Anyways, they are very proud of their successes.

“Since we launched, we’ve seen one of our target fake news sites completely shut down, and the capacity of several others reduce significantly as a result of us damaging their ability to raise revenue.”

All the so-called “detailees” from federal agencies and departments to the National Security Council (NSC) in the White House have been removed and President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is conducting a full review of all staff who will be detailed to the entity, an NSC official confirmed to Breitbart News.

Waltz had told Breitbart News during the transition in an exclusive interview that they would be all removed on day one, and new ones who were on board with Trump’s vision would take their place. Detailees, as they are called, are officials from various law enforcement, military, and intelligence agencies and departments across the federal government who are detailed to–or assigned to–the White House’s National Security Council. The NSC is the entity that helps corral the entire federal government behind a president’s national security agenda, but in Trump’s first term it’s the entity from which several deep state moles like Alexander Vindman and others came at Trump. Vindman, who was a detailee to the NSC in Trump’s first term, was obviously the impetus for the first impeachment of Trump. Waltz made it clear in that Breitbart News exclusive interview, published earlier in January, that he would send all the detailees back to their respective agencies and departments right away on day one of the Trump administration–and that they would be replaced with new ones who were not disloyal to Trump.

That has now happened. The Associated Press first reported the move from Waltz–who does not need Senate confirmation as he is a top White House staffer and close adviser to the president, so he has been at work since Trump took the oath of office–and an NSC official confirmed the news to Breitbart News on Wednesday afternoon.

“National Security Advisor Mike Waltz promised and authorized a full review of NSC personnel,” NSC spokesman Brian Hughes added in a statement to Breitbart News. “It is entirely appropriate for Mr. Waltz to ensure NSC personnel are committed to implementing President Trump’s America First agenda to protect our national security and wisely use the tax dollars of America’s working men and women. Since 12:01 pm on Monday personnel reviews and decisions based on the evaluations are being made.”

January 20, 2025 – Trump revokes security clearance for the 51 intel agents who lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop

January 20, 2025 – Acting FBI Director serves for one day and then resigns

FBI’s longtime deputy director, who had been expected to temporarily replace director Christopher Wray on an acting basis during the transition into the new Trump administration, says he is retiring. Paul Abbate made the unexpected announcement in an email to senior officials Monday ahead of President Trump’s inauguration, CBS News confirmed.

“When the Director asked me to stay on past my mandatory date for a brief time, I did so to help ensure continuity and the best transition for the FBI. Now, with new leadership inbound, after nearly four years in the deputy role, I am departing the FBI today,” Abbate wrote in the letter, according to the Associated Press, which obtained a copy of the email.

Abbate had been running the FBI for only one day after Wray stepped down as director on Sunday. Wray was named by Trump during his first term and had been director for more than seven years. He announced his retirement when Trump said he wanted Kash Patel to be the director.

Abbate’s email did not say who would replace him atop the bureau during the interim. Following the inauguration, the White House posted a list of acting leaders that said Brian Driscoll will serve as head of the FBI until the position is filled. (Read more: CBS News. 1/2o/2025)  (Archive)

January 20, 2025 – How revoking the 51 security clearances could change everything – A direct shot at the heart of the administrative state

Nothing should give more hope for meaningful change than Donald Trump’s decision, widely reported last night, to revoke the security clearances of 51 former senior intelligence officials who used their position to deceive the American people in the run-up to the 2020 election. Their act was the very definition of “disinformation” and “election interference”.

To many, suspending their clearances will seem like a no-brainer. In Washington, it’s an earthquake.

But that bears some explaining.

Sixteen years ago, Barack Obama promised two things: (1) hope and change, toward (2) a “fundamental transformation” of America. He succeeded. He just didn’t finish the job. That was left to Hillary Clinton, a fellow former acolyte of Saul Alinsky who was “inevitably” going to succeed Obama, appointing a leftist Supreme Court majority to rubber stamp the revolution.

A Rod D. Martin Twitter/X Thread, 1/20/2025:

January 20, 2025 – Today, truth will rapidly begin to replace Lawfare’s lies

Lawfare (sanctioned fraud by law enforcement) is antithetical to the Bill of Rights, which assumes government nefariousness. Lawfare flourishes thanks to qualified immunity, an artificial (i.e., not in the Constitution) concept conjured by the Supreme Court to insulate rogue cops, prosecutors, and judges.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley — President pro tempore of the Senate and third in the line of presidential succession after the Vice President and Speaker of the House — at the Attorney General’s January 15 nomination hearing (this is a lengthy quotation but so meaty it doesn’t yield to cutting or summarizing):

The Justice Department’s infected with political decision-making, while its leaders refuse to acknowledge that reality. Crossfire Hurricane was a textbook example of government weaponization. That FBI investigation was built on the fake Steele Dossier, which was funded by the Democratic National Committee and Clinton Campaign who worked with foreign operatives. My investigative work exposed that the FBI knew the dossier was false information and was likely part of a Russian disinformation campaign. Even with knowledge of the dossier’s defects and political infection, the Justice Department sought FISA warrant renewals and took other actions. After directing my oversight staff to investigate the Justice Department’s mishandling of the matter, the Justice Department retaliated by issuing a subpoena for their phone records.

Then, a few of my Democratic colleagues pressured the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force to supposedly brief me and Senator Johnson relating to our Biden family investigation. In August 2020, Senator Johnson and I had that infamous briefing from the FBI. Later, its contents were leaked to the media even though the FBI had promised confidentiality. That leak falsely labeled our oversight work as – you guessed it – Russian disinformation. To this day – over four years later – the Intelligence Community and FBI refuse to provide us the intelligence basis for that briefing. The title of this Wall Street Journal article sums it up, “The FBI’s Dubious Briefing: Did the bureau set up two GOP Senators at the behest of Democrats?”

I know what government weaponization is. And then we get to Special Counsel Jack Smith and his lawfare operation. It involved an unprecedented FBI raid on Trump’s house, including agents that even searched the former First Lady’s clothing drawers. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden certainly didn’t receive the same treatment by the government regarding their records. Indeed, as my oversight exposed, the FBI amazingly agreed to destroy laptops and records associated with Clinton’s staff. This Orwellian conduct should have no quarter. On top of it all, FBI Special Agent Thibault, the anti-Trump agent that violated the Hatch Act for political activity on the job, started one of Jack Smith’s cases.

But, Jack Smith wasn’t the only Department official who tried to influence this past election. The Washington Post reported last August about a previously undisclosed Mueller investigation into Trump that was closed for lack of evidence and it being a “fishing expedition.” That news reporting was based on sealed court records, government records, and potentially classified information roughly 90 days before the last presidential election. The Justice Department leaked that information to the press to impact the election against President Trump. And they did it while stiff-arming congressional requests for information that would prove embarrassing to the Biden-Harris administration.

Let us not forget some of the other flagrant abuses of power that we’ve seen from the DOJ and the FBI over the last four years:

  • The DOJ used the might of the Federal Government to prosecute individuals peacefully praying outside of abortion clinics.
  • The FBI suggested that traditional Catholics could be domestic terrorism threats, claiming that these individuals adhere to “anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT and white supremacy ideology.”
  • The FBI opened dozens of investigations into parents who voiced their concerns at school board meetings regarding curriculum choices and COVID-19 mandates.
  • The FBI applied undue pressure to social media platforms to censor so-called “misinformation,” downgrading or removing flagged social media posts and removing users.

These are only a few particularly egregious examples of the rot infesting the DOJ. The impact of this political infection in our once-storied law enforcement institutions is catastrophic. By every metric, the Biden-Harris Justice Department’s conduct has failed to live up to our country’s ideals.

We are witnessing the initiation of America’s truth and reconciliation process. Grassley’s comments stand as a bookmark separating two eras. He de facto swore out a warrant against the guilty. Under (almost certainly) incoming FBI Director Patel, an extensive and essential glasnost (openness) episode will precede wholesale perestroika (reform). Trump’s Patel nomination ranks among his best. As chief aide to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, Patel oversaw exposing the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. He is the man for this moment. (Read more: American Thinker, 1/20/2025)  (Archive)

January 21, 2025 – President Trump orders closure of all DIE offices by end of day

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has issued a directive to all federal agencies and departments to commence the closure of their Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) offices by the close of business on Wednesday. This directive comes in the wake of President Trump’s executive order aimed at dismantling all DEI programs within the federal government.

Under the new guidelines, all employees working in DEIA offices will be placed on paid administrative leave immediately, as departments begin the process of shutting down these initiatives. According to Fox News, by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, heads of agencies are required to:

  • Send an agency-wide notice to employees informing them of the closure and asking employees if they know of any efforts to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language
  • Send a notification to all employees of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) offices that they are being placed on paid administrative leave effective immediately as the agency takes steps to close/end all DEIA initiatives, offices and programs.
  • Take down all outward facing media (websites, social media accounts, etc.) of DEIA offices
  • Withdraw any final or pending documents, directives, orders, materials and equity plans issued by the agency in response to the now-repealed Executive Order 14035, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce (June 25, 2021)
  • Cancel any DEIA-related trainings and terminate any DEIA-related contractors

President Trump has also issued an executive order declaring the government’s policy to recognize only two genders: male and female, reflecting a broader pushback against diversity initiatives. (Read more: The Liberty Daily, 1/21/2025)  (Archive)

January 23, 2025 – Davos elites embrace jihad at World Economic Forum’s 2025 annual meeting

A US-designated terrorist group still remains the current de facto ruling entity in Damascus and over Syria. But for the West, all that matters is that al-Qaeda linked Jolani is not Assad. A decade-plus long proxy war in pursuit of regime change finally overthrew the secular Baath government early last month, and resulted in the hardline Islamists of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) controlling most of the country.

The West appears to be fully embracing the new rulers which we previously referred to as al-Qaeda in suits. This week we have been treated to the spectacle of a HTS representative speaking on the main stage at Davos. He’s come a long way from Idlib and its black flags… straight to the red carpet jet-setting champa[gne]-sipping insider atmosphere of world elites.

Syria’s new HTS-appointed Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan Al-Shaibani told the World Economic Forum on Wednesday that Saudi Arabia is now the exemplar for Syria to follow.

“Where do we see inspiration for the new Syria? We have the Vision 2030 of Saudi Arabia,” Al-Shaibani said during a conversation with former UK prime minister Tony Blair.

“We need Syria to be a place of peace, to be a place of development, a place free of war,” the top HTS diplomat added.

On top of the irony of an AQ-linked official being invited to Davos (and merely within less than two months after HTS took power), there’s the added irony that Tony Blair – one of Bush’s key allies who pushed the 2003 invasion of Iraq – was hosting the Davos main stage discussion with Al-Shaibani.

Former leaders like Blair, in overthrowing Saddam Hussein, are responsible for having overseen the sectarian and Islamist nightmare which gripped Iraq and the region in the aftermath. The rise of ISIS would not have been possible if it weren’t for the US/UK ‘shock and awe’ regime change operation, for example. Later, the West and Gulf states funded the Syrian insurgency, during which time Al-Qaeda in Iraq jihadists poured across the border into Syria.HTS was born out of this West-backed anti-Assad jihad (it was known as Nusra Front in the beginning).

But of course, the Davos elites are embracing it all: war crimes and jihad.

Meanwhile, in Syria HTS has allowed ISIS-linked foreign fighters to intimidate the population with impunity. Alawites, Druze, and Christians live in fear as sectarian-driven killings are on the rise in the “liberated Syria” – especially in the Homs, Latakia, and coastal and countryside regions.

(…) The future looks bleak as Jolani has pledged eventual implementation of Sharia law.

January 23, 2025 – Trump slams Bank of America boss for refusing ‘conservative business’

President Donald Trump confronted Bank of America boss Brian Moynihan in front of the entire world Thursday for not providing banking services to conservatives.

“I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and that included a place called Bank of America. … what you’re doing is wrong,” Trump said during a question and answer session with corporate leaders and CEOs, who were assembled on stage at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Trump, who spoke by satellite to address the forum, suggested his predecessor – former President Joe Biden – was behind the effort.

“And I don’t know if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what,” Trump continued, “But you and [JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon] and everybody – I hope you’re going to open your banks to conservatives, because what you’re doing is wrong.”

January 23, 2025 – White House advisor reveals how bureaucracy protects “its own interests” and predicts bureaucracy will ‘crush’ RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary

Captured on hidden camera, a White House advisor, Byron Cohen, warned that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s potential appointment as Secretary of Health and Human Services could be sabotaged by the entrenched federal bureaucracy. Cohen, acknowledging the existence of the “deep state,” described how the bureaucracy operates with its own agenda, potentially hindering or even blocking initiatives from external appointees like Kennedy Jr.

“People joke about the ‘deep state,’ but to some degree, it’s real,” admitted Byron Cohen, an advisor at the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy, to an undercover OMG journalist. Cohen, a holdover from the Biden Administration, is currently lent to the office through the Horizon Institute for Public Service.

He revealed the extent to which the bureaucracy operates with its own hidden priorities and safeguards, adding, “It’s not just a matter of ordering people to do things. They have ways to slow things down or block you without you realizing it.”

Cohen expressed strong disapproval of Kennedy Jr.’s potential appointment, citing his views on vaccines as a point of contention with the American public. He predicts that Kennedy Jr. will face an uphill battle in gaining cooperation from the bureaucracy, which he believes will prioritize its own interests over his agenda.

“RFK Jr. is a very bad pick for HHS… it’s probably a good chance that the bureaucracy just crushes him,” Cohen stated. He further elaborated when asked, “Can you give me an example of how you think they’ll do it when RFK, like if he gets in?” and described a ‘fake commission’ to “Make him [RFK Jr.] think something is happening when it’s not…” (O’Keefe Media Group/Email, 1/23/2025)

January 24-25, 2025 – Newly appointed Secret Service Director Sean Curran immediately begins to clean house; Tells 10 senior officials to resign, retire or be reassigned

President Trump appoints Sean Curran (r) as the Director of Secret Service, 1/24/2025  (Credit: public domain)

(…) Curran was wasting little time in starting to clean house at the Secret Service. On his first day on the job, as many as 10 senior leadership officials, including Rowe, were warned that they would either be fired, moved, or pressed into retirement, according to three Secret Service sources.

Curran has been inundated with information on which top officials on the 8th floor of headquarters to oust or replace. Agents are circulating removal wish lists, as well as names of those agents Curran or other members of his new leadership team already informed that their services are no longer needed.

Cynthia Sjoberg Radway

Agents are expressing an urgent need to remove Chief Operating Officer Cynthia Sjoberg Radway from her leadership post. Radway was incredibly close to Cheatle, the pair having become good friends during a previous Radway stint working for the agency. When Cheatle became director, she brought Radway back to work more directly for her in the COO role and gave her a bonus to do so, according to multiple sources. The fear is that Radway, if allowed to stay, will continue to serve as a pipeline of information back to Cheatle. She also has crossed many agents Curran respects.

“She will be a major roadblock to positive progress,” if allowed to stay, one source in the Secret Service community told RealClearPolitics.

One of the biggest points of contention about who should stay and go is being waged over an alleged decision by former USSS leadership, under Cheatle’s and Rowe’s direction, not to inform Curran of the security threats against Trump before the Butler rally.

David Torres

In addition to Cheatle and Rowe, David Torres, assistant director of Strategic Intelligence and Information, was also involved in keeping the Trump campaign detail in the dark about a specific Iranian attempt against Trump’s life. The Pittsburgh Field Office, which partnered with the Trump campaign detail for planning and executing security for the Butler rally, also was never informed before the July 13 assassination attempt. If the two Secret Service contingents had been informed, the agents charged with providing security may have upped their game to come up with a more robust security plan and far better execution, these sources contend.

Rowe officially passed the torch to Curran in a “good-bye” letter to all Secret Service personal sent late Thursday night and obtained by RealClearPolitics. In it, he praised Curran’s selection for the role, while omitting any reference to the two assassination attempts against Trump’s life while he was serving in top leadership agency roles. Rowe only became acting director after Kimberly Cheatle resigned under pressure from Congress in the wake of the Butler assassination-attempt debacle.

Rowe strangely claimed he is “excited” to announce that Curran will be the next director, the 28th in the agency’s history. (Trump previously announced that decision on Truth Social.)

“Throughout his career, Director Curran has led and played critical roles in both protective operations and the investigative mission,” Rowe wrote. “He has consistently demonstrated outstanding leadership, integrity, and courage.”

“His vision, dedication, and ability to drive results have earned him respect inside the agency and from law enforcement partners,” he continued. “I am confident that under his leadership the Secret Service will continue to grow, innovate, and remain steadfast in our unwavering commitment to succeed in our missions.” Rowe’s conclusion that he’s “proud of all that we have accomplished together” without any mention of the monumental failures in Butler and during the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life at a Florida golf course spurred instant ridicule among rank-and-file agents.

But it was the way he signed the letter that gave fellow agents and USSS officers the most pause. Rowe listed his title as deputy director, the post he held before former Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas elevated him to the acting director role following Cheatle’s resignation.

If Rowe is moving to the deputy director role with Curran in the top post, agents tell RCP they believe nothing will change, and the USSS will continue to experience protection failures, retention problems, and low morale. “When are we going to seriously fix the problems instead of putting lipstick on a pig?” one source questioned.

Yet, Rowe may simply be moving back to the deputy director job temporarily before Curran has a chance to name his own No. 2 and chief of staff. The names circulating among the Secret Service for those top leadership roles include Matthew Piant, who served as Curran’s No. 2 on the Trump campaign detail, and Tyler McQuiston, a former agent who previously served in several senior protective operations roles.

January 24, 2025 – Paul Ryan comes out of his hidey-hole with an appearance at the World Economic Forum’s 2025 annual meeting in Davos

Paul Ryan appears in Davos for the World Economic Forum’s 2025 annual globalists meeting.

(…) We don’t hear Paul Ryan’s name much these days, unless we’re talking about Fox News, where he’s a board member. But rest assured, this globalist snake in the grass is still slithering around, doing everything he can to undermine President Trump’s America First agenda.

Nowhere was that more obvious than Ryan’s recent trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos. There he was, rubbing elbows with his fellow elites and reminding all of us that he’s still an undercover power player in the Great Reset and the sinister and dark world of globalism.

Ryan was cornered by Canadian firehouse and investigative reporter Ezra Levant, who asked why the former House Speaker refuses to congratulate President Trump on his epic, historic presidential victory.

The answer, sadly, is no mystery: Paul Ryan loathes Trump and everything the America First movement stands for. It clashes with every globalist bone in his body.

Paul Ryan is stepping out of the shadows, where he quietly hid during most of Biden’s disastrous regime. Suddenly, he’s back in the spotlight, making moves to rally the anti-Trump uniparty and reminding them that, yes, their movement still exists. He recently appeared on CNBC for a really awkward interview, where he was called out for sounding an awful lot like a Democrat.

You can see it all over his face—he can’t even fake being happy for President Trump or the country that sent him to the White House with a resounding mandate.

Ryan knows this is war. When Biden’s regime was destroying the country, Paul had nothing to worry about – trust the plan, right? Now that President Trump is back, Ryan knows it’s “go time.”  After all, President Trump just delivered a deathblow to the GOP establishment wing of the GOP. He’s made it clear; he’s not hiring anyone who worked for hacks like Charles Koch, Liz Cheney, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Mike Pence, and others in this establishment camp.

January 24, 2025 – Inside the Trump DOJ shake-up

January 24, 2025 – Former reporters for Politico claim outlet squashed negative stories about the Bidens

Two former reporters with Politico accused the outlet of suppressing negative stories about former President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden during the 2020 presidential election in a video clip posted to YouTube Thursday.

Dozens of former intelligence officials signed an October 2020 letter published by Politico that claimed a bombshell New York Post report about emails from a laptop supposedly abandoned by Hunter Biden “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” Puck News reporter Tara Palmeri and Axios reporter Marc Caputo discussed the Politico newsroom’s approach to unflattering reports about the Bidens on Palmeri’s podcast, “Somebody’s Gotta Win,” though the outlet has denied their allegations.

“Politico did that terrible, ill-fated headline: 51 intelligence agents, or former intelligence agents, say that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation, or bore the hallmarks of disinformation. Turns out that story was closer to disinformation because the Hunter Biden laptop appeared to be true,” Caputo told Palmeri, who responded. “But then Facebook also pulled all stories down about the Hunter Biden laptop, and I think Twitter did at the same time, too.”

Twitter locked multiple accounts, including the New York Post’s and the personal account of then-White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany for sharing the Oct, 14, 2020 report, citing a “hacked materials” policy. Documents released to journalist Michael Shellenberger by Elon Musk show that the FBI contacted Twitter about the potential for leaks involving Hunter Biden prior to the New York Post’s report.

“Correct, they punished The New York Post, that didn’t help. I mean, Politico, my former employer and I knew at the time, didn’t do itself any favors,” said Caputo. “I was covering Biden at the time, and I remember coming to my editor and saying, ‘Hey, we need to write about the Hunter Biden laptop.’ And I was told this came from on high at Politico: Don’t write about the laptop, don’t talk about the laptop, don’t tweet about the laptop.

January 26, 2025 – Florida Democrat official and President of LGBTQ group arrested on child porn charges

Democratic Delegate and prominent gay activist Matthew Inman, 39, has been arrested after sending child pornography to an undercover police officer.

According to Inman’s X account bio, archived here, he serves as the President of the Rainbow Democrats, a nonprofit that aims to “foster goodwill between lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and allied members of the Democratic Party and the community at large.” Inman, an Orlando resident, was previously the Orange County Democratic Party’s Treasurer.

(…) The U.S. District Attorney’s office said in a statement that between August and October 2024, Inman “received and saved several videos of child sexual abuse material (CSAM),” which “depicted adults sexually assaulting young children.”

He apparently sent these photos to an undercover cop, posing as the father of a nine-year-old boy, who Inman had expressed interest in sexually assaulting.

He then attempted to delete the evidence as FBI agents searched his home, and he hid in the attic, according to the complaint. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 1/26/2024)  (Archive)
