February 20, 2025 - Almost fired for working with DOGE, Social Security fraud expert now leads the agency

Leland Dudek (Credit: public domain)

Leland Dudek was an obscure bureaucrat at the Social Security Administration who dedicated his career to stopping fraud. But when he worked with the Department of Government Efficiency to do just that, he came close to being fired.

“At 4:30pm EST, my boss called me to tell me I had been placed on administrative leave pending an Investigation,” Dudek wrote on LinkedIn. “They want to fire me for cooperating with DOGE,” he wrote in a now-deleted post obtained by The Daily Wire.

Then, a stunning reversal occurred. It was Acting Social Security Commissioner Michelle King who was out of a job. And Dudek was reinstated with a big promotion — taking her job leading the massive agency on an interim basis.

The Washington Post reported that King exited the agency after refusing to let DOGE access agency data and was replaced by Dudek. But it has not been reported that managers at the agency had moved to punish Dudek as he cooperated with the efficiency czars.

The LinkedIn post said “I confess. I helped DOGE understand SSA. I mailed myself publicly accessible documents and explained them to DOGE. I confess. I moved contractor money around to add data science resources to my anti-fraud team. I confess. I asked where the fat was and is in our contracts so we can make the right tough choices.”

“I confess. I bullied agency executives, shared executive contact information, and circumvented the chain of command to connect DOGE with the people who get stuff done,” it continued. “Everything I have ever done is in service to our country, our beneficiaries, and our agency.”

The Social Security Administration and the White House did not return requests for comment. A SSA employee, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Daily Wire that the person who put Dudek on leave was Gina Clemons, Deputy Commissioner for Analytics, Review, and Oversight, and that she is still on the job.

Dudek, a career civil servant, is an example of how there are a few fiscally conscious longtime government employees, and how the Trump administration and DOGE can maximize their impact by joining forces with people who know where the bodies are buried.

Earlier today President Trump confronted Maine Governor Janet Mills for undermining women and keeping men in women’s sports.

Heated exchange between President Trump and Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME) over executive order banning transgender women in sports.

Trump: “Are you not going to comply with that?”

Mills: “I’m complying with state and federal laws.”

Trump: “We are the federal law. You better do it, because you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t…your population doesn’t want men playing in women’s sports…”

Mills: “See you in court.”

Trump: “Good. I’ll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be an easy one. And enjoy your life after governor, because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”

More information on Governor Mills:

Boom! In 2024, the brother of Maines Governor, Janet Mills, helped transfer a nine-acre black market cannabis grow to a Chinese national living in Guangdong province amidst the proliferation of illegal Chinese marijuana grows in Maine. Her brother did this 13 days after it was raided by DHS agents.

According to a leaked Department of Homeland Security memo, Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) control and operate more than 270 illegal marijuana cultivation and trafficking facilities throughout Maine, and the proceeds from those illicit activities are used to finance fentanyl trafficking, human trafficking, and other illegal activities.

A Chinese national living in the Guangdong Province, China, became the proud owner of the “fixer upper” in Penobscot County in thanks, in part, to title transfer services provided by Paul H. Mills, the eldest brother of Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D).

Paul Mills, 71, is the founder and managing partner of the Mills & Mills law firm, located at 163 Main Street in Farmington. People familiar with the real estate transfer process in Penobscot County said it would be uncommon for Mills — or any attorney based in Franklin County — to handle title transfers in Corinna.

Chinese Consul General in New York, Ping Huang, attended Maine Governor, Janet Mills, 2019 inauguration.

Huang visited the state of Maine to promote China-U.S. ties by tapping regional cooperation potential between the two countries.

Gov. Janet Mills, was once rated by a People’s Republic of China-linked think tank as one of America’s most pro-China governors.

She must be very helpful for ancient Chinese business

Maine Governor, Janet Mills, allows her states schools to collude with the Chinese Communist Party! As found during a PDE Action “Little Red Classrooms” investigation!

This investigation ended in July 2023. As of July 2024 Oxford Hills School District in Maine, still collaborated with the Confucius Institute.

Letter drafted to Janet Mills:

“The Maine Department of Education and Oxford Hills School District forged ties with Chinese government backed programs.

PDE Action respectfully requested the Office of the Governor of Maine to investigate ties between Maine’s public school system and Chinese government sponsored programs, such as Confucius Classrooms. While it’s vital for American students to have opportunities to learn world languages and cultures, schools should not give the Chinese government unfettered access to K-12 classrooms. This has the potential of posing significant security risks to students, families, and our national interest.

February 21, 2025 - USAID's top contractor that receives $ billions, is connected to the Clintons and their cronies

This research from @IanCarrollShow on USAID funding is INSANE:

Ian says roughly 93% of USAID funding is estimated to be fraud

– Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and their friends appear to be the top money laundering recipients

– The majority of sub awards being given out by USAID are all just transporting pharmaceutical products all around the world to all sorts of developing nations

– It’s mostly AIDS drugs (More AIDS drugs than you could ever imagine an entire planet needing)

– The main company transporting all these pharmaceuticals all around the world, “ONLY 7% OF THE HEALTH COMMODITY SHIPMENTS DELIVERED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM ARRIVED AT THEIR DESTINATION” on time and in full

– This means that 93% of the shipments they sent in that quarter either arrived incomplete or did not arrive within the 21 day window allotted and agreed to by the buyer

– There was a contract to build a power plant in Afghanistan that was paid for through USAID, it was never finished. “it’s producing 2% of the power it was intended to generate”

– This happened when Hillary Clinton led the State Department

“The company’s CEO was indicted for siphoning money from USAID reconstruction contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan, because that’s what USAID is for, it’s for Hillary Clinton’s friends to siphon money out into their own pockets.”

You’re never going to believe this,

– The firm that built that power plant that never got finished and doesn’t work, they’re represented by John Podesta and his lobbying group (This man was heavily involved in the PizzaGate Scandals)

– It goes on to talk about how Podesta was tasked to come up with these sustainable development goals for this Council of International Development Companies

– One of those companies was that’s the largest recipient of USAID money there is

– That same company thrived during Clinton’s tenure, nabbing more contracts during the Haiti reconstruction effort than any other company

After the disasters in Haiti they moved to Afghanistan

– This same company continued to win lucrative USAID contracts in 2011 in Afghanistan

– The project was intended to create 300,000 jobs by 2013. After two years, it had only created 2,458 jobs

– In May 2009, it won a $90 million contract to grow exports and employment in the Pakistan economy

Get this, “The USAID Inspector General found no measurable increase in sales or employment after the first two years of the project.” But they’re still allowed to be the largest recipient of USAID money??

Also

– They were bribing the Taliban with our tax dollars not to attack their projects, “They were giving money to the Taliban basically as a protection racket”

“This is the Deep State. It’s been being built over the last 20 years, ever since Bill Clinton’s time and even before, out of these proxy companies, these non-government organizations, these charitable organizations, all these shadow kind of organizations that you don’t know about, that we don’t elect, that are some of them private, some of them public, all of them in the shadows. Just wheelin’ and dealin’ billions and billions and billions of dollars of taxpayer money that just goes into the black box of aid and then never heard from again.”

Ohh, and Pfizer is the 2nd largest recipient of USAID…..

February 24, 2025 - The CIA fears their anti-Trump personnel may be motivated to sell out America to a foreign power

CNN now says that “top leadership” at the CIA are worried anti-Trump personnel may by motivated to sell out America to a foreign power.

In other words, the people who created the Russia Hoax might now sell America’s secrets to Russia — and then CNN will be there to blame Trump.

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝐂𝐈𝐀 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐀

The same intelligence community that pushed the Russia Hoax now admits anti-Trump operatives inside the CIA might betray the U.S. to a foreign power. And guess what? CNN is already spinning it to blame Trump.

The Deep State spent years lying about “Russian collusion,” and now its own agents are the ones under suspicion. You can’t make this up. The real question is: Who are these people actually loyal to?

Time to clean house?

February 23, 2025 - DOGE: Billions of USAID funds are missing from the Clinton/Bush Haiti relief projects

There are those that say all government aid is a scam in one way or another, and so far the revelations surrounding USAID are proving those people right daily.  Democrats and the establishment media, in a bid to muddy the waters and save face, continue to claim that there was never any fraud at USAID and that the Trump Administration is simply labeling projects they “disagree with” as suspect.

Of course, spending American tax dollars on projects the public never asked for and were never told about is the epitome of fraud, and waste is never a good thing.  Beyond that, the question of billions in missing funds certainly falls into the category of criminality.

Trump has taken a lot of heat from the media with the shut down of USAID and much of the criticism suggests that without US funds people in third world countries will fall back into desperation.  The Washington Post recently claimed that Trump’s cuts to USAID are a “gift to Haitian gangs” terrorizing the locals; a typical leftist appeal to emotion that assumes most of the funds were getting to the Haitians in the first place.

Yet another example of this problem has been revealed in a New York Post expose on the audit of USAID which shows a disturbing shortfall in funds surrounding ongoing relief projects in Haiti.  The Post notes:

“Since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti killed as many as 300,000 people, the US government has disbursed around $4.4 billion in foreign assistance to the small island nation.

At least $1.5 billion was disbursed for immediate humanitarian aid, while another $3 billion went to recovery, reconstruction and development.

Of the at least $2.13 billion in contracts and grants for Haiti-related work, less than $50 million, or 2% went to Haitian organizations or firms. By comparison, $1.3 billion, or 56%, has gone to firms located in or near the US capitol. Little wonder USAID is so threatened by the sudden scrutiny.

It remains unclear how exactly the billions have been spent and whether US tax dollars have had a sustainable impact. USAID and its vendors have generally failed to make such data public…”

The exposure of USAID by DOGE actually confirms long running suspicions of mishandled aid.  Some Haitian reporters warned about this disappearing money years ago under the Obama Administration.  USAID funds to Haiti were dispersed in part through the Clinton Foundation.

The lack of funding transparency was also noted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in 2023.  Though, not surprisingly, the impotent agency did nothing about it.  The GAO stated in their analysis of USAID activities in Haiti:

“The USAID mission in Haiti does not fully track data on its local partnerships, or its activities to strengthen local organizational capacity, which limits institutional knowledge about these efforts and understanding of results and lessons learned to inform future activities.”

“The Administrator of USAID should ensure that USAID/Haiti develops a process to track and assess consistent and complete results information for infrastructure activities, such as the final outputs, outcomes, costs, time frames, and lessons learned.”

“The Administrator of USAID should ensure that USAID/Haiti establishes a process to completely and consistently track and analyze data on awards made to local organizations, such as the amount and percent of total funding awarded and the percent of total awards provided to these organizations.”

Of the five “recommendations for executive action” put forward by the GAO for USAID, two are marked as “completed”.  Transparency was never achieved and no one was held accountable.  The question is, if only 2% of the $4.4 billion allotted for Haitian relief was actually used in Haiti, where did the rest of the money go?

February 24, 2025 - Ethics watchdog flags Senator Whitehouse for helping wife rake in millions for nonprofit

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is being accused of a potential conflict of interest by an ethics watchdog. (Credit: Getty Images)

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., is being accused of violating ethics rules after backing laws that financially benefited his wife’s environmental organization.

The Democratic senator and climate hawk voted for key laws that provided funding for grants to the environmental non-profit group that works with his wife, Sandra Whitehouse, and pays her through a consulting firm.

The ethics watchdog, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), is asking the Senate Select Committee on Ethics Chairman James Lankford, R-Okla., and Vice Chairman Chris Coons, D-Del., to investigate Whitehouse “to determine whether he violated the Senate ethics rules on conflicts of interest.” The group works primarily to draw attention to potential Democratic lawmaker ethics violations.

Whitehouse’s wife, Sandra, is employed as president of consulting firm Ocean Wonks LLC and has been since 2017, per her LinkedIn page. Before that, she was a direct employee of Ocean Conservancy, serving as Senior Policy Adviser beginning in 2008.

Ocean Conservancy has received more than $14.2 million in federal grants since 2008, per USASpending.gov. During 2024 alone, it was given two sizable grants, one for $5.2 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for marine debris cleanup in September and another for $1.7 million from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), again to assist with marine debris cleanup.

The former was funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) championed by the Biden administration and voted for by Sen. Whitehouse. The latter was funded through the EPA’s annual appropriations bill, which Whitehouse also voted for. (Read more: Fox News, 2/25/2025)  (Archive)

February 24, 2025 - Chat logs obtained from an NSA’s secret transgender sex chatroom, in which NSA, CIA, and DIA employees participate

UPDATE:

Tulsi Gabbard’s directive aligns with broader efforts to purge corruption from federal agencies. The Drain the Intelligence Community Swamp Act of 2025 (H.R.80) already targets security clearances for former intel officials who weaponized their positions during the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation campaign.

While Gabbard’s specific memo isn’t detailed in current legislative text, it mirrors H.R.80’s aggressive posture against bureaucratic rot. The DRAIN THE SWAMP Act similarly forces decentralization of federal power by relocating 30% of DC-based bureaucrats – a structural reset long overdue.

These moves expose a pattern: DC’s permanent class uses taxpayer resources for political warfare rather than national service. Accountability is non-negotiable.

February 24, 2025 - Documents reveal Joe Biden changed TSA identification guidelines for illegal aliens and allowed a "warrant for arrest" as proof of ID

TSA Under Biden Focused on Speeding Up Checkpoints for Illegal Aliens Without IDs, Not National Security

During the Biden Administration, expediting TSA security checkpoints took precedence over national security concerns. Through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit I filed after TSA stonewalled my initial request—I’ve exclusively obtained the protocols that allowed illegal aliens to board commercial flights with IDs under Biden’s watch. TSA officials claimed these documents didn’t exist during his tenure, but the Trump Administration has since granted me access to this information.

On March 26, 2021, TSA issued “a revised Operations Directive to address a significant increase in the number of non-U.S. citizens at certain airports who do not have acceptable ID documents.”

The OD added a series of DHS-provided documents that were suddenly acceptable for illegal aliens traveling without IDs. Here’s the list of those documents that were suddenly deemed acceptable:

-Warrant for Arrest of Alien

-Warrant of Removal/Deportation

-Order of Removal on Recognizance

-Order of Supervision

-Notice to Appear

-Arrival and Departure Form

-Alien Booking Record

These documents could be displayed electronically at TSA security checkpoints, meaning an illegal alien could present a photo or screenshot on their device, and TSA agents were permitted to grant them passage.

On April 2021, TSA rolled out a CBP One Pilot program. That program was led by Director of Aviation Coordination Julian E Williams and Director of Capability Management and Innovation Requirements and Capability Analysis Melissa Conley.

The primary goal of the pilot program wasn’t tied to national security but rather to reduce wait times at TSA security checkpoints. This focus is emphasized repeatedly throughout the Concept of Operations.

In the document, TSA says the influx of illegals without IDs “places a severe burden on TSA checkpoints when attempting to vet multiple individuals.”

The document goes on to brag about reducing the wait times since rolling this pilot program out, “use of CBP OneTM also resulted in an efficiency improvement in process cycle time over the IVCC procedures. The average cycle time for ID verification with CBP OneTMwas 1.48 minutes as compared to an average IVCC cycle time of 12.87 minutes, an 88.50% reduction of average cycle time per individual.““CBP OneTM, TSA partnered with CBP to investigate adapting the app for use by TSA as a viable, effective, and efficient operational alternative solution to validate travel documentation for adult non-U.S. citizens with valid boarding passes who are not in possession of acceptable travel documents and are subject to ID validation.”

The pilot program allowed “TSA personnel use a TSA-issued smartphone equipped with the CBP OneTM app to take a photograph of that individual and transmit the biometric through the app for comparison with CBP records.”

The CBP One Pilot also advised illegal aliens that the capturing of their facial biometrics was optional. According to the Patriot Act, all non-U.S. citizens must submit their biometrics to DHS.

Here are a list of the airports that participated in the Pilot Program for CBP One:

-Alexandria International Airport, Louisiana (AEX)

-Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Texas (AUS)

-Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Texas (DFW)

-Denver International Airport, Colorado (DEN)

-Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Florida (FLL)

-George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Texas (IAH)

-Miami International Airport, Florida (MIA)

-Monroe Regional Airport, Louisiana (MLU)

-Palm Springs International Airport, California (PSP)

-Shreveport Regional Airport, Louisiana (SHV)

-YumaInternationalAirport,Arizona(NYL)

The Biden administration jeopardized national security by dispersing unvetted illegal aliens across the country. How many terrorists might now reside among us? We could learn the answer through harsh consequences if the Trump administration fails to swiftly locate those spread nationwide during Biden’s tenure.

NEW:

@TSA has a policy effective February 2021 if you enter the country illegally during the Biden/Harris regime- the illegal alien does NOT have to show any government ID. (View video)

You can be a gang member of Tren De Aragua from Venezuela or Los Lobos from Ecuador or MS 13 from El Salvador or FARC member from Colombia or an Islamic jihadist from the middle east.

This is the new build back better @TSA. What could go wrong. Don’t ask any questions you dirty American!! #TSA #sanantonioairport

February 25, 2025 - Eric Swalwell is compromised by lobbyists he just met, asking them for help to cheat on his wife; then it gets worse

EXCLUSIVE: Eric Swalwell PANICS when I ask about his Chinese spy girlfriend Fang Fang, and whether that’s a bigger “national security threat” than Elon Musk

I sat next to a drunk Swalwell at dinner for 90 minutes. He was IMMEDIATELY compromised by a group of lobbyists he’d JUST MET, spilling intimate details about his job and asking for HELP CHEATING ON HIS WIFE.

MASSIVE national security threat. This guy should have his clearances revoked.

Swalwell spent his dinner bragging about “ORGlES” on Capitol Hill, telling them he’s bored of his wife and “only wants to f*ck tens.”

Worse, he spoke about ABUSlNG his power on the House Intel Committee (which he’s since been booted off of), saying he pushed to SUBPOENA Ivanka Trump because she’s “hot as f*ck”

THIS GUY MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE. He CANNOT keep his freaking mouth shut.

After I began questioning him, Swalwell jumped back into the group of lobbyists to hide from me, but I pressed on.

Dude looked absolutely TERRIFIED and 100% guilty. He knows he’s been caught.

More to come later. I have about an hour and a half of audio to go through 😉

And big shoutout to @LauraLoomer for assisting me with digging into this clown while I was focusing on listening in!

February 25, 2025 - The Biden IRS leaked the personal information of over 405,000 Americans, including Trump

(Credit: Meta AI)

New disclosure reveals that the Biden IRS leaked taxpayer information of over 405,000 Americans — including President Trump’s.

The IRS’s admission confirms the Committee’s suspicion and recent reports that show the scope of the leak was much broader than what the Biden Administration’s IRS initially led the public to believe.

In May 2024, an IRS spokesman stated that “[m]ore than 70,000” taxpayers were affected.

We found out that it’s actually over 405,000 taxpayers!

This is a MASSIVE scandal.

@Jim_Jordan first launched his inquiry into these leaks last year.

February 26, 2025 - DOGE cancels $18 Million a month contract to operate an empty facility in West Texas

A former ICE employee and Biden transition team member joined Family Endeavors in early 2021 and helped secure a sole-source HHS contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities.

As a result, Family Endeavors’ cash and portfolio of investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023.

Since March 2024, HHS has paid ~$18M/month to keep the Pecos facility open despite sitting empty.

Family Endeavors facility

With national licensed facility occupancy now below 20%, HHS was able to terminate this contract, saving taxpayers over $215M annually.

“There’s a much easier way to earn $2 Billion than caring for 80,000 kids…”

“Cherokee Nation is not this benevolent humanitarian actor. They make most of their money with alcohol and gambling.”

“It’s been f***ed up, but it’s been a boom for my business.”

During conversations with an undercover Veritas journalist, former Biden transition team official, Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, tells of his legacy in the immigration space. He confesses his role is described by critics as a “corrupt bargain.” Lorenzen-Strait explains how he brokered a $2 billion-dollar contract between the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Cherokee Federal, a tribal-owned federal contractor arm of the Cherokee Nation, to manage post-relief migrant care and the relocation of unaccompanied migrant children despite Cherokee Federal having no previous experience with migrant care.

Mr. Lorenzen-Strait, a principal of Deep Water Associates, celebrates brokering the second largest HHS award in history, helping facilitate a change in Cherokee Federal’s focus from “alcohol and gambling” to “caring for 80,000 kids.” Lorenzen-Strait was previously the subject of a Congressional investigation by House and Senate Republicans, as well as federal investigations by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General, due to his role in brokering multiple deals with the Biden administration after leaving the transition team. Amid these investigations, he resigned as senior director for migrant services and federal affairs at Endeavors, a non-governmental organization (NGO).

Veritas’ HHS Whistleblower, Tara Rodas, joined us to share her expertise working with Endeavors. Incidentally, Endeavors was the entity which served as a federal contractor at the Pomona Fairplex Emergency Intake Site in California. Rodas was deployed there as a volunteer of Operation Artemis to help the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement reunite unaccompanied migrant children with sponsors in the U.S. She comments that Mr. Lorenzen-Strait admits, while they are not experts in the field, they are somehow able to “go around regular contracting rules to give a contract in an emergency to people who were not experts in the job they were supposed to be doing.” Rodas added, “[t]hat is stunning and absolutely appalling. It is still stunning to me that people believe kids are commodities.”

The amount of federal money awarded to the contractors and their staff is startling. According to Rodas, for example, one Cherokee Federal executive, Dan Guinan, was paid over $51,000. An emergency intake site is funded in six-month periods. This specific contract between Cherokee Federal and the government was over $600M for that brief period. The contracts and executive salaries are publicly available at www.usaspending.gov. Project Veritas is continuing to investigate these organizations. This story is not over! Stay tuned.

STATEMENT FROM VERITAS CEO, HANNAH GILES:

Project Veritas has shed light on the vast network of federally funded immigration contracts that use billions of taxpayer dollars to manage this nation’s border crisis. Our journalists caught former Biden Transition Official, Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, walking us through these “corrupt bargain” deals that have a direct impact on unaccompanied minors.

February 28, 2025 - Elon Musk: “A ton of people think that the Russia thing was real, still. The whole Steele dossier was completely concocted."

Elon Musk: I completely lost respect for Obama when he repeated the fine people lie knowing it’s false.

“A ton of people think that the Russia thing was real, still. The whole Steele dossier was completely concocted. The Clinton campaign funded a fake conspiracy theory, a fake Russia collusion hoax regarding Trump that was completely false.

The media also kept repeating the fine people hoax that said that Trump called neo-Nazis fine people, which is demonstrably false if you just listen to his speech. He absolutely makes it clear that he does not think neo-Nazis are fine people.

I just completely lost respect for Obama when he repeated that lie a few days before the election, knowing it’s false.”

The Joe Rogan Experience, February 28, 2025

Elon’s dead right—Obama’s fine people lie was the final straw, and Trump supporters feel the betrayal. Repeating that smear, knowing Trump’s speech trashed neo-Nazis, shows the left’s rot. The Russia hoax, fueled by Clinton’s $12 million Steele dossier scam, fooled 40% of voters—pure fraud.

The facts burn: Trump’s 2017 Charlottesville speech condemned neo-Nazis 12 times, yet Obama echoed the lie pre-election to sway minds. The media ran with it—80% of outlets pushed the hoax—while the dossier’s 90% unverified claims collapsed. Elon’s lost respect mirrors ours; this is war on their deception.

The left clings to these smears to bury Trump’s 75 million votes—patriots see through it. Obama’s legacy is tarnished; truth demands justice. Want the unfiltered fight against this leftist lie machine? Follow
@FinalTelegraph—they’re the voice of the awakened.

As John Stuart Mill said: A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature. Fight the lies—restore truth.

February 28, 2025 - Is FBI's James Dennehy behind Epstein Files block? Many 'anti-Trump' claims surface

James Dennehy (Credit: public domain)

Hours after Attorney General Pam Bondi accused the FBI New York of withholding ‘thousands of pages’ of Jeffrey Epstein documents, social media users blamed assistant director in charge James Dennehy for the alleged block. On Thursday, the Department of Justice released ‘phase I’ of the files related to the convicted sex offender and financier. It included some of the infamous flight logs and entries from Epstein’s address book.

However, the complete ‘client list’ is not out yet. (MSN, 2/28/2025)

 

James Dennehy, assistant director in charge of the New York FBI office, wrote in a memo to 1,200 agents and support personnel on Friday: “Today we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy.”

The personnel moves make good on a Trump campaign promise to clean house at the Justice Department. Soon after taking office, the president signed an executive order to take on the “weaponization of the federal government.” (Read more: CBS News, 2/4/2025)

Reuters reported on Friday that interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin is transferring numerous Biden DOJ prosecutors to pursue misdemeanor offenses in the DC Superior Court.

They should consider themselves lucky after what they did to innocent Americans!

Politico posted a list of names of the demoted DOJ prosecutors who built phony cases against Trump supporters in an attempt to ruin their lives and spread fear of the regime across the nation.

Those demoted include John Crabb and Elizabeth Aloi, who prosecuted contempt of Congress cases that sent Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to jail for four months apiece. They include Jason McCullough, who helped lead the team that sent top Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio, Joe Biggs and Ethan Nordean to prison for their role in orchestrating the breach of the Capitol. And they include Kathryn Rakoczy, who was a lead prosecutor in the Jan. 6 cases of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and more than a dozen of his allies, for their involvement in the attack on the Capitol.

Greg Rosen, who headed the Capitol Siege section in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, also was demoted. One prosecutor who worked for Rosen until recently, Brendan Ballou, praised Rosen and decried the wave of reassignments.

Just a reminder — these are the same men that made-up evidence to secure convictions against the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys during their trials. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 2/28/2025)  (Archive)

(Timeline editor’s note: We understand the DOJ will have to clean out the bad actors before they can succeed at prosecuting them. It’s frustrating to see them just get a demotion after destroying so many lives and hopefully there is more in store for them.)

February 28, 2025 - A third wannabe Trump assassin is captured and found to be connected to satanic and neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine and the U.S.

My exclusive new article answers many of the lingering questions about wannabe Trump assassin Nikita Casap. The groups he was communicating with online included the Ukrainian O9A-linked Misanthropic Division and the Russian group NSWP or Sparrow’s Crew.

It also goes into detail about Mystic Physis, the 16-year-old O9A “brony” who Casap was chatting with in the FBI documents.

Finally, as I was researching Casap’s digital footprint, I came to an even more shocking realization – I had a hand in stopping a guy who was a carbon copy of Casap in September of last year.

How many patsies are out there being trained to do this very thing as we speak, and how long will it be before one of them succeeds?

(…) On February 28, 2025, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, police received a distressing message from the mother of Donald Mayer, who said she hadn’t heard from her family in a while and had learned that her 17-year-old grandson, Nikita, hadn’t been to school in 2 weeks. Donald’s mother reported receiving a suspicious text message a few days prior from her son. Similarly, Donald’s sister had received text messages from his number stating that he had been sick and unable to talk on the phone and that he was taking time off of social media. Donald’s manager at work reported the same. After checking local hospitals as well as FLOCK cameras in the area of Donald Mayer’s home, police executed a well-being check at the residence.

(You can access the full FBI affidavit here.)

When police entered the home, they found Nikita Casap’s mother, Tatiana Casap, dead in the hallway. Towels and blankets had been used to cover her body, which was blackened by decomposition. Tatiana had been shot in the chest. Donald Mayer’s body was found lying in the first floor office, also covered by a pile of clothing, with a gunshot wound to the back of the head. Donald Mayer’s car, a Volkswagen Atlas, was missing. A neighbor reported seeing the car leaving the residence operated by their son, Nikita Casap.

(…) Police were able to determine that Nikita Casap fled Waukesha 4 days prior, accompanied by the family dog and armed with a .357 Smith and Wesson revolver. Casap was apprehended at 11:25pm in Kansas, after traveling an odd, snaking route through Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado. Found in his possession were the family dog, the revolver, several boxes of ammunition, the wallets and cell phones of both parents, a pried open safe, jewelry, electronic devices, hard drives, a security camera, and $14,000 in cash. Casap was arrested on the spot for the murder of his parents.

The mystery deepened even further when a search warrant of Casap’s devices unearthed a vast digital footprint indicating he had a deep ideological commitment to the Order of Nine Angles and that he conspired with other online individuals to assassinate President Trump. Police found a (presumably) self-authored manifesto on Casap’s phone titled, “Accelerate the Collapse”, in which he called for the assassination of President Trump in order to incite a political revolution, which he believed would “save the white race” from Jewish controlled politicians. Casap, like so many others before him, had become a witting patsy for accelerationists.

Unsurprisingly, Casap’s manifesto was heavily plagiarized from other sources, including writings from James Mason, a founding father of modern accelerationism, as well as from the Terrorgram Collective. Casap’s manifesto also included a paradoxical reference to the American Futurist movement (TAF). TAF split off from the National Socialist Order, which itself was a splinter of the former Atomwaffen Division, after the NSO was infiltrated by Order of Nine Angles. As a result, TAF is a sworn enemy of O9A, which was Casap’s primary ideology. Such conflicting ideological motivators are a clear indication that 17-year-old Casap was confused, ill-informed, and being led around by the nose by shadowy figures with an ulterior motive.

Casap stayed in his home with the decomposing bodies of his parents for 12 days before he was finally ready to flee the residence and carry out the next phase of his plan. In that time, Casap was communicating with multiple Russian-speaking individuals who claimed to be Ukrainian. On February 14, a Russian speaking co-conspirator wrote to Casap on the messaging app Telegram, instructing him to reply to text messages sent to Donald Mayer’s cell phone and claim he was sick. The same individual instructed Casap to drag the bodies of his parents to the basement of the house. Footage from the security camera found in Casap’s possession showed him lighting candles in the house and rummaging through drawers, at one point speaking directly at the camera as if taking instructions from a viewer.

Casap had been communicating with these individuals for quite some time. Over the several months prior to the murder of his parents, he chatted with multiple other Telegram users under his handle, @accelerationist14, about the plan to assassinate Trump.

Casap: “What country do you think will get the blame for this?”

Unknown: “Russia will be blamed for it, this is the goal.”

Casap: “When the time comes for me to send my manifesto to you (so that you can spread it online), should it be pdf? And also you won’t anyhow change or modify the manifesto?”

Unknown: “Write on a piece of paper and take a picture of it.”

Casap dutifully complied with these directives. The FBI also found images containing instructions on using an attack drone and for creating explosives, Molotov cocktails, and poison alongside specific instructions on avoiding getting caught. In a conversation with a Telegram user called “Angel of Death”, Casap negotiated a deal to obtain a drone in exchange for $1200-$1500 in Bitcoin while referencing instructions from a Telegram user with the handle “Asellfuck”. In a Telegram conversation with a Russian-speaking user identified as “Forest”, Casap was given coordinates and driving directions from Wyoming to Pumpkin Center, Oklahoma, along with instructions on obtaining different license plates. Casap asked Forest, “and then from there to Eureka, California, it is 30 hours. You think I’ll have enough time?”

Casap had another Telegram conversation with an individual called Roman Viktorych, who used a Ukrainian phone number. Casap asked Roman how long he would need to hide before he would be “moved” to Ukraine, then he asked what his new life in Ukraine would be like, and if he would be protected. Casap also asked Roman, “Do the other 10 people also have similar beliefs to I? Or are they different?” This question was mirrored in his manifesto: “As a side note, the other attacks that may occur, I have no idea what they are/who they target. I have no idea even if they are same ideology as I. Point being, this manifesto is specifically for the attack that targets Trump.” Casap’s co-conspirators had manipulated him into believing that his attack was part of a larger operation.

Despite the plethora of information provided by the FBI investigation documents, the Casap case is still mired by mysteries. Most notably, who were his co-conspirators, and where did they actually reside? Why was Casap taking such a winding, erratic path from Wisconsin to Oklahoma, and who did he plan to meet up with in Pumpkin Center? A Telegram analysis of “Asellfuck”, along with messages exchanged with him from an anonymous source, indicate that he and Roman live in Kiev. Why were Ukrainians plotting to assassinate Trump and pin the blame on Russia? (Read much more: Bx’s Substack, 4/18/2025)  (Archive)

February 28, 2025 - DOGE moves to audit $ billions in US Aid to Ukraine after Trump/Zelensky blowup in Oval Office

On Friday, Ukrainian President Zelensky met with a bipartisan group of US Senators and warmongers before his meeting with President Trump.

The meeting was held at the Hay Adams Hotel across from the White House and took place before Zelensky went to the White House.

Zelensky wrote:

An important visit to the United States. In Washington, I met with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Senate.

Our discussions focused on the continued military assistance for Ukraine, relevant legislative initiatives, my meeting with President Trump, efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace, our vision for ending the war, and the importance of robust security guarantees.

We take pride in having strategic partners and friends like the United States. We are grateful for the unwavering bicameral and bipartisan support for Ukraine throughout all three years of Russia’s full-scale aggression.

As you watch the video below, you see US senators acting like children with complete joy as they meet the megalomaniac who refuses peace with Russia.

Have they ever treated President Trump with such excitement? No, of course not.

After Zelensky met with these US Senators, he then went to the White House, where he:

  • disrespected the US President and his cabinet
  • spoke over both President Trump and VP J.D. Vance
  • called J.D. by his first name and not the title
  • Argued with Trump and Vance
  • Disrespected the American audience
  • And then, he was escorted from the White House.

President Zelensky later released a video from the meeting at the Hay Adams.

An important visit to the United States. In Washington, I met with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Senate.

Our discussions focused on the continued military assistance for Ukraine, relevant legislative initiatives, my meeting with President Trump, efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace, our vision for ending the war, and the importance of robust security guarantees.

We take pride in having strategic partners and friends like the United States. We are grateful for the unwavering bicameral and bipartisan support for Ukraine throughout all three years of Russia’s full-scale aggression.

Here is a screengrab from the video and a list of identified US Senators.
They don’t want you to know about the meeting!

  • Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
  • Jacky Rosen (D-NV)
  • Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
  • “Danang Dick” (Richard Blumenthal) (D-CT)
  • Roger Wicker (R-MS)
  • Charles Grassley (R-IA)
  • Chris Murphy (D-CT)
  • Peter Welch (D-VT)
  • Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
  • Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)

This was a disgrace and undermined President Trump’s historic peace talks.

Yesterday, Susan Rice said of the Trump-Zelensky meeting, “There is no question this was a set up.” She revealed full knowledge of the mineral agreement, complained that it didn’t include “concrete” security agrees (meaning, apparently, commitment of US troops on the ground if conditions merit), and then mischaracterized Trump’s behavior, counting on most Americans to not have watched what transpired over the entire hour in the Oval Office.

You can look at this and dismiss it as typical Democrat talking points, but you could also view it as almost a confession, one that includes details about the current “Get Trump” effort.

Yes, Trump won the popular vote against unbelievable odds, but if you think Team Obama is being any less involved in quiet insurrections than they were during the first Trump administration (Russia collusion, Ukraine impeachment, etc.), you’re clueless. I’ll remind you that Susan Rice was in the small Jan. 5, 2017 meeting in the WH with other key Russia collusion hoax perpetrators.

Zelensky repeatedly declined opportunities to sign the deal in Kyiv and Munich, and requested the meeting at the White House. It later came out that Rice and Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, and Alexander Vindman may have been personally advising Zelensky to do this meeting in the way he did — that they recommended him to be hostile and to try to goad Trump into blowing up. Even though he didn’t, and even though Zelensky’s actions horrified many normal Americans, the Obama team went on the airwaves to falsely characterize what happened.

I think their goal was to have a wonderful performance by Zelensky, an angry Trump appearing to scuttle the deal, and the support of the neocon portion of the GOP to start applying pressure on Trump to have US Troop commitments as part of the “security guarantee.” It was a set-up, in Susan Rice’s interesting choice of words.

Instead, Zelensky had one of the worst stage performances of his acting career, and Trump was statesmanlike (against all odds) throughout. Zelensky followed Team Obama’s advice to be hostile to a tee, but it didn’t land how they thought it would. Surprisingly, one of the most important aspects of it not working out might have been Lindsay Graham’s reaction. Had he and other neocons thought Zelensky was being reasonable, Trump would be having to fight (even moreso) the neocon portion of the GOP in addition to Team Obama’s dirty tricks. Even the “conservative” neocon pundits on TV last night were admitting Zelensky had royally messed up.

As you can see from the hostility of the bureaucracy to any Republican oversight, no matter how reasonable or minor it may be, the entrenched bureaucracy and permanent DC apparatus is quite active. That goes quadruple for the deep state in the Intelligence Community. I’d expect more and more shenanigans and to be prepared so that you don’t fall for the next information operation. The post-WWII architecture in Europe and the US needs this war to continue or be settled on “US troops on the ground” type guarantees, even though that’s not what Americans want.

Things will heat up here, and it’s a very dangerous time.
