September 24, 2024 - The son of Trump's attempted assassin, Ryan Routh, is arrested for child pornography

The son of Ryan Routh, the man arrested in connection with the second apparent assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump, has been taken into custody on federal charges of possessing child pornography.

Investigators say they discovered “hundreds” of files with child pornography during a search of Oran Routh’s residence in Guilford County, North Carolina, on Saturday conducted “in connection with an investigation unrelated to child exploitation.”

The two charges he faces include receipt of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

The “unrelated investigation” referred to Routh’s father — who remains in custody after a judge ordered him detained pending trial Monday — a spokesperson with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Carolina confirmed to ABC News.

Investigators said the pornography was found on a Samsung Galaxy Note device located inside Oran Routh’s primary bedroom in the residence, as well as another Galaxy Note device in Routh’s possession.

“A review of the SD card located in Device-1 revealed that it contained hundreds of child pornography files,” prosecutors wrote in the criminal complaint. “These files include videos from a known child pornography series created outside the state of North Carolina.”

The complaint included graphic descriptions of the videos and a chat from July in which Oran Routh allegedly responded to someone advertising the content for sale. (Read more: ABC News, 9/24/2024)  (Archive)

September 25, 2024 - Powerful testimony from FBI whistleblower Marcus Allen at Weaponization hearing

The hearing was billed as follows:

The hearing will examine how the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has used its security clearance adjudication process to purge its ranks of conservatives and whistleblowers, and unlawfully punish those with views contrary to FBI leadership.

The witnesses included DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, Empower Oversight President Tristan Leavitt, FBI Whistleblower Marcus Allen, and former Assistant US Attorney Glenn Kirschner.

Marcus Allen, some may recall, is the former FBI Staff Operations Specialist who suffered retaliation by the agency after daring to question some of the agency’s actions. He testified before the subcommittee in May of 2023 and recently (in June of 2024) received some vindication regarding his claims, reaching a settlement with the agency, though it appears his awarded back pay has yet to be disbursed to him.

Allen has been put through the wringer, to put it mildly. In fact, as recently cited by the Empower Oversight letter directed to Jim Jordan (R-OH), chair of the subcommittee:

According to our SecD SSA client, DAD Veltri made comments suggesting Mr. Allen was delusional for referring to his religious belief instead of secular, moral or ethical reasons for disclosing wrongdoing. The implication to others in SecD was that DAD Veltri believed Mr. Allen’s Christian beliefs as a devout Catholic were a reason to revoke his access to classified information.

On Wednesday, Allen addressed not just the subcommittee but the attack on his faith, demonstrating his determination to lean into it, rather than let others’ mockery of it deter him.

POWERFUL: FBI whistleblower fights back tears as he testifies to how his faith in God has strengthened him and his family after the FBI tried to destroy his livelihood:

“I’ve never once regretted standing up for truth…My family and I persevered due to our strengthened faith, God’s grace, and the sacraments. If you do not worship God, then you will worship something else…You can insult me, but you should not mock God! It is an insult to the infinite dignity of God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!”

Allen’s testimony was powerful, and he was clearly moved as he delivered it. The full prepared remarks may be found here, but I want to highlight a portion of them:

Despite the stress and uncertainty, I have never once regretted standing up for truth. In fact, I am actually grateful for the experience. If you do not worship God, then you will worship something else. You can either serve God or you can serve mammon, but you cannot serve both.

While we lost material items, we gained more important things. We have stored up for ourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:20). Our faith has increased, and we have seen the hand of God move in our lives in unexpected ways. What we have gained has far outweighed what was lost.

John Adams noted that the framework of our country was built for a moral and religious people and unfit for the governance of any other. James Madison notes the duty to honor God is precedent both in order of time and degree of obligation to the claims of civil society. Before any man can be considered as a member of civil society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the universe.

I recently learned about comments made by Mr. Jeffrey Veltri suggesting I was delusional for believing in and seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit. Mr. Veltri currently serves as Special Agent in Charge of the Miami field office, but at the time he was an executive at Security Division, overseeing security clearance decisions. I’d like to address Mr. Veltri. Sir, you may disparage and insult me if you wish, but you should not mock God. It is an insult to the infinite dignity of God Who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and bad for the health of your soul (Matthew 12:31).

But this is not about me. It’s much bigger than that. I am hopeful the truth of what happened will be fully revealed and deter the FBI from doing the same injustice to others.

While I would not wish this harm on anyone else, I must plead with other employees who have witnessed wrongdoing that they find courage to speak up. You are not alone, nor will you ever be. “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?” (Psalms 139:5-7) I have been blessed to be supported by God’s grace, men and women of goodwill, other whistleblowers, the charity of the American people, many prayers, and great attorneys along the way, such as Tristan Leavitt and Jason Foster of Empower Oversight.

Potential whistleblowers: please do not be silenced by the FBI’s mistreatment. We are all here to support you if you choose to come forward. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Equally important is the awareness and involvement of the American people.

September 25, 2024 - NYC Mayor Eric Adams indicted following a federal corruption investigation

Eric Adams (Credit: Mayor’s office)

New York City’s Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, a former New York Police Department (NYPD) officer who ran on a promise to boost public safety, was indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday night, sources have told the New York Times and New York Post.

The indictment is still under seal, which means the charges have not been released, but it comes amid a federal investigation into allegations that he accepted illegal campaign donations from the Turkish government. The FBI has also expanded its investigation to include five other countries, but the details and names of those countries have not been released so far.

Four officials within Adams’ administration have also resigned recently, amid a handful of investigations into Adams and senior members of his staff. (Read more: Just the News, 9/25/2024)  (Archive)

UPDATE: 

Eric Adams has been indicted on charges including wire fraud, bribery and conspiracy out of the Southern District of New York, becoming the first sitting New York City mayor to face criminal prosecution.

Charges include conspiracy theory, wire fraud, bribery and solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national. Read the indictment.

According to federal prosecutors Adams accepted $10 million in illegal “straw” campaign contributions and bribes from foreign countries, including Turkey, Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea, and Uzbekistan going back nearly a decade. (The Gateway Pundit, 9/26/2024)

Social Media suggests this is why they’re taking Adams down:

September 25, 2024 - Miranda Devine tells Schweizer: Biden corruption story isn’t over, ‘they’re still committing bad deeds’

With Joe Biden forced out of the presidential race, why should anyone still care about the corruption story that implicated him, his brothers, and his son, Hunter Biden?

Because “the same people in the same crooked institutions that protected him and allowed him and his family to do business and make millions of dollars from our adversaries, particularly from China, are still there,” journalist Miranda Devine declares on the latest episode of the Drill Down podcast. “They’re still committing bad deeds. They still have mal-intent and they still don’t have America’s best interests at heart,” Devine tells co-hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers.

Devine’s reporting on the infamous “Hunter Biden laptop” in October 2020 for the New York Post was heavily censored by social media platforms and savaged as “Russian misinformation” by the mainstream media, national security veterans, and partisan Democrats. It was all completely accurate.

Devine tells what she knows of the Biden family’s corruption in her new book, The Big Guy: How a President and His Son Sold Out America, which debuts this week.

Indeed, both Devine and Schweizer have been for years the two most prominent reporters on the Biden corruption story.

Schweizer notes that the Bidens’ corrupt family businesses were protected by a press that didn’t want to know the truth, a Justice Department that wanted to allow the statute of limitations to expire, an intelligence community that would say or sign anything to keep Donald Trump from winning a second term, and prosecutors who wanted to sweep the whole thing under a misdemeanor gun charge.

“You’ve got a political class in Washington, DC that is engaged in these kinds of global deals, and a government apparatus that protects them,” Schweizer tells Devine. “Joe Biden, and the Clintons before him, perfected this model of globalized corruption. And if you get away with this kind of thing, everybody’s going to follow and imitate.”

Devine agrees. “Where there’s no accountability for bad behavior, of course it metastasizes,” she says. “All that happens is that the bad guys will just sharpen their tools… they get cleverer at covering up.” (Read more: Breitbart, 9/25/2024)  (Archive)

September 25, 2024 - Muckraker tracks down some of the 320,000 missing illegal alien children and found they are sent to labor trafficking rings

We Found the Biden-Harris Administration’s Missing Children | FIRST-HAND TESTIMONIES FROM CHILDREN WHO WERE TRAFFICKED IN AMERICA

We tracked down some of the 320,000 illegal alien children lost by the Biden-Harris administration.

During the course of our investigation, we discovered:
– The federal government is sending children to strangers.
– A CIA contractor is moving children across America.
– Children are being sent to labor trafficking rings.
– Traffickers use deportation as a threat to exact “debt” payments from sponsored children.

This report reveals the cold, hard truth about the reality of the Biden-Harris administration’s open-border policies, which have resulted in the trafficking of untold numbers of children.

September 25, 2024 - FBI agent leading investigation of Trump's second assassination attempt has a history of anti-Trump bias and tried to force US veterans out of the Bureau

Chris Wray’s FBI put agent Jeff Veltri, a rabid Trump-hater, to lead the investigation into the second attempt on the former President’s life in two months.

eff Veltri, was the subject of an internal “retaliation investigation” for anti-Trump and anti-conservative bias, a whistleblower revealed last year.

Veltri was later promoted despite the allegations of his anti-conservative bias.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Jeffrey Veltri back in November 2023.

FBI whistleblowers stepped forward recently to tell Congress that Chris Wray’s FBI is now targeting agents based on their political beliefs. The whistleblowers allege that FBI brass is now harassing military veterans for being loyal to the US and fitting the profile of a Trump supporter.

The latest FBI whistleblowers identified FBI Special Agent in Charge of Miami Office Jeffrey Veltri and Supervisory Special Agent-Assistant Section Chief Dena Perkins.

Agent Veltri was moved to Florida in March 2023 where he heads up the all important Miami Office. Since President Donald Trump left office the FBI has been busy harassing the president and raiding his home in Palm Beach.

According to whistleblowers Veltri singled out FBI officials who were former military for anti-Trump retaliation.

Veltri also targeted US military men and women The Washington Times reported:

The whistleblowers said FBI Security Division Deputy Assistant Director Jeffrey Veltri and Assistant Section Chief Dena Perkins specifically went after bureau employees who served as Marines or in other military branches

They retaliated against the agents by stripping them of security clearance, which sidelines them on the job and pushes them toward the exit, according to the disclosures.

The whistleblower disclosures charge that Mr. Veltri and Ms. Perkins either declared or attempted to declare the Marine and other veterans as “disloyal to the United States of America.”

September 26, 2024 - Former Trump prosecutor, Nathan Wade, evades House Judiciary Cmte. subpoena for over a week; Is finally served after US Marshals manhunt

The manhunt underway by US Marshals for Nathan Wade, the former Fulton County investigator and DA Fani Willis’s lover, ended Thursday night.

Jesse Watters broke the news Thursday evening on FOX News Channel that Wade was evading authorities.

Jesse Watters:  Lover boy, Nathan Wade is missing. The House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating Georgia DA Fannie Willis, needs Wade to testify at a hearing tomorrow on their love affair. But no one can find the guy. They’re trying to serve him, but he’s flown the coop, and now the US marshals are in a manhunt to track him down. Have they checked the conduct?

“The committee issued the subpoena on Friday, attempted to serve the subpoena to Nathan Wade’s lawyer, who declined, and subsequently the committee tried to serve the subpoena via email through Nathan Wade himself, never heard back. As a result, the committee had to use the assistance of the U.S. Marshals, who have also not been able to find Nathan Wade,” Russell Dye, a spokesman for the committee, told Newsweek on Wednesday evening.

(…) Wade was the subject of a search by U.S. Marshals after his failure to appear for a subpoena issued by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating the handling of the case by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

According to the New York Post, Wade was served on Thursday night after news broke of the ongoing manhunt for Fani’s love interest.

The former Donald Trump prosecutor was served a congressional subpoena Thursday after evading service of the summons for nearly a week. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 9/27/2024)  (Archive)

September 27, 2024 - Trump meets with Zelensky to discuss peace

Trump Meets with Zelensky and the Deep State are Terrified by Clandestine

Read on Substack

Trump is about to negotiate an end to the conflict in Ukraine. This means the military industrial complex lose their cash cow, and the CIA lose their offshore proxy.

This is why they impeached Trump as soon as he started digging into where the money was going in Ukraine. Trump did not commit any crime. All he did was get too close to finding out what was going on.

And now if Trump does win the election and does negotiate an end to conflict and the end the flow of money, as he claims, then the public will see that Trump is the peacekeeper, and the Biden regime were the ones who instigated this war.

And one of the stipulations Putin will demand in order to come to an agreement, will include a full-scale UN security council investigation of US bioweapon development in Ukraine. Putin and his military have been demanding it at the UN for years now, and the US veto every attempt. Given RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have been extremely vocal about this subject, it’s very likely if Trump wins, that his administration will not only agree with Putin in this regard, but assist him in exposing and resolving this threat to humanity.

This is what’s at stake. This is why the Dems seeing Trump talking to Zelensky is their worst nightmare. If Ukraine falls, the Deep State face extinction. (Clandestine/Substack, 9/27/2024) (Archive)

September 27, 2024 - Hillary Clinton says she’s the ‘most investigated innocent person you have ever met’

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized former President Donald Trump and stressed her purported innocence in an interview with Margaret Hoover of PBS’ “Firing Line” on Friday.

Clinton echoed sentiments that Trump poses a threat to democracy and mocked him for directing his administration to investigate her only to not file any criminal charges. While the Trump administration never formally accused Clinton of breaking the law, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey in July 2016 said that Clinton had stored 110 emails containing classified information on a private email server, with eight email chains containing top secret information.

“He basically ordered his attorney general to reopen an investigation into me,” Clinton told Hoover. “He ordered his two secretaries of state to reinvestigate me. They investigated the Clinton Foundation. You know, I’m the most investigated innocent person you have ever met.”

September 27, 2024 - ICE reveals there are 425,431 illegal aliens with past convictions loose in America

ICE revealed to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) that there are 425,431 illegal aliens with convictions loose on our streets:

  • 13,099 of them have been convicted of homicide
  • 15,811 of them have been convicted of sexual crimes

The illegal aliens on the non-detained docket went from 3,700,000 in FY 2021 to 4,800,000 in FY 2022 to over 7,000,000 in FY 2023.

I attached screenshots of the charts.

ICE slammed sanctuary cities and states for their lack of cooperation

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recognizes the importance of its relationships with its law enforcement partners to carry out its mission. In recent years, however, as you know, some jurisdictions have reduced their cooperation with ICE, to include refusal to honor ICE detainer requests, even for noncitizens who have been convicted of serious felonies and pose an ongoing threat to public safety. ICE recognizes that some jurisdictions are concerned that cooperating with federal immigration officials will erode trust with immigrant communities and make it harder for local law enforcement to serve those populations. However, “sanctuary” policies can end up shielding dangerous criminals, who often victimize those same communities.

“As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency’s non-detained docket,” continued ICE. “Of those, 435,719 are convicted criminals, and 226,847 have pending criminal charges.”

ICE also told Gonzalez that the agency has removed almost 900,000 illegal aliens since mid-May 2023.

“From mid-May 2023 through the end of July 2024, DHS removed or returned more than 893,600 individuals, including more than 138,300 individuals in family units,” added the agency. “The majority of all individuals encountered at the Southwest Border over the past three years have been removed, returned, or expelled.”

Bill Melugin reported:

MELUGIN: “We just got these numbers moments ago, but it’s a jaw-dropper, to say the least. So to set the stage here, let me just explain what these numbers mean. ICE has something called a non-detained docket. Essentially, what that is, is it means migrants who were encountered by DHS but are no longer in federal custody. So who’s on this non-detained docket? It’s illegal immigrants who were caught and released at the border, released with the court date years away. They’re in immigration proceedings, combined with illegal immigrants who have already been ordered, deported from the country by a judge, but are still here roaming the country. So keep that in mind, this non-detained docket. According to a letter that the acting director of ICE just sent to Texas Congressman Tony Gonzalez, on ICE’s non-detained docket, they’re currently tracking 425,000 non-citizens who have been convicted of a crime. Of that number, over 13,000 non-citizens have convictions for homicide and are on the non-detained docket, meaning they’re roaming the country right now. On top of that, there are another 15,811 non-citizens convicted of sexual assault who are roaming the country right now on ICE’s non-detained docket.”

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.

Full statement below:

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!”

(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.”
