June 26, 2025 - Migrant identity theft investigation leads to ICE workplace raid in North Carolina

An identity theft investigation led to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) workplace raid at a fire equipment factory in North Carolina on Wednesday. The operation led to the arrest of at least 30 people, according to a local news report.

ICE Homeland Security Investigations special agents and deputies with the U.S. Marshals Service conducted a workplace enforcement operation at the Buckeye Fire Equipment Company in King Mountain, North Carolina, on Wednesday. The operation followed an investigation by the HSI into allegations of identity theft.

ICE officials told Queen City News they visited the plant as part of an investigation into identity theft and other crimes.

“Allegations of identity theft and you should take seriously. Would you want your identities used for someone else to work or do whatever they’re going to do with them? So its a serious federal crime,” ICE spokesman Lindsay Williams told the local news outlet. “There have been some folks detained where somewhere in the dozen or so range, but that number may increase as we continue.”

Officials later confirmed they had placed at least 30 people into custody. They expect that number to increase as the investigation continues. (Read more: Breitbart News, 6/26/2025) (Archive)

June 27, 2025 - Why Deep State had to leak ‘fake Iran’ story to CNN’s Natasha Bertrand

(Credit: Revolver News, 6/27/2025)

Well, CNN is at the center of yet another fake news hoax. What number is this now? Honestly, too many to count. But this latest stunt is especially egregious because it involves our national security.

So what happened?

CNN ran a bogus story claiming that President Trump’s highly successful military strikes barely dented Iran’s nuclear program and only set them back “a few months.” The goal was obvious: downplay the operation and spin it as a failure.

But here’s the problem: that claim completely contradicted the official military assessment, which stated the strikes were a resounding success.

Senator Rubio and Pete Hegseth shredded the media and the likely leakers for pushing a false narrative that not only undermines President Trump but also puts US national security at risk.

Watch these two powerful clips:

The FBI launched a probe into the fake news leak.

Daily Caller:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is launching a probe into a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report leaked to CNN assessing damage from President Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday.

Now here’s where the story takes a turn. Enter Natasha Bertrand… CNN’s Pentagon and national security correspondent. But she’s a lot more than that.

Bertrand has been called a Deep State mouthpiece and a key player in pushing the Russia hoax, the infamous “pee tape” lie, and a long list of other intelligence-backed psy-ops, like the Hunter Biden laptop coverup and the “51 spies who lied.” But now, she’s got a new gig. Ms. Bertrand is the alleged leaker.

Press Secretary Levitt called her out by name.

Rapid Response:

@PressSec: “We have seen this playbook run before… leaked bits and pieces of an intel assessment to push a false narrative. And it’s to the same reporter, I will add —
@NatashaBertrand of@CNN— who has done this in the past. In 2020, it was Natasha Bertrand who had 51 intelligence analysts falsely lie to her… that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation.”

Dem leaders quickly fell in line, backing up the bogus story:

Now, President Trump is rightfully calling for Ms. Bertrand to be fired.

Of course, CNN doubled down on their shaky story and on their so-called star reporter, Natasha Bertrand.

So what happened? Why was it leaked?

Well, now we know. The so-called “assessment” being passed around was junk—completely lacking in credibility. It was never going to be officially published because it wouldn’t hold up under real scrutiny.

Which means the only way this fake narrative could see the light of day was to leak it straight to the regime’s favorite cable news source: CNN.

That’s exactly why it landed in Natasha Bertrand’s lap. No ethical journalist would touch it. But she would, and that’s what makes Natasha the Deep State Darling that she is.

Journalist Molly Hemingway called out just how flimsy this so-called report really was.

But again, this shouldn’t surprise anybody, since Natasha is the Deep State’s go-to girl. And speaking of that, take a look at this reel, highlighting Natasha’s biggest fake news hits:

June 27, 2025 - WaPoo Pulitzer Prize winning journalist arrested and charged with possession of child pornography

Thomas Pham LeGro (Crredit: public domain)

A Pulitzer-Prize winning Washington Post journalist was arrested and charged with possession of child porn, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Friday.

Thomas Pham LeGro, 48, was arrested on Thursday after FBI agents discovered 11 videos of child sexual abuse material on his work laptop during a raid, Pirro’s office says, adding that they also found fractured pieces of a hard drive in his hallway, and seized several electronic devices.

After examining LeGro’s work laptop, the FBI says it found a “folder that contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material.”

LeGro, a veteran journalist who worked at WaPo for 18 years, made his first appearance in District Court of Washington DC on Friday, and has a detention hearing scheduled for next Wednesday, the NY Post reports. He faces a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted.

A heavily redacted FBI affidavit against LeGro claims the reporter was linked to multiple E-Gold accounts in 2005 and 2006.  

E-Gold was a digital payment service that ceased operations after the feds accused the company in 2007 of laundering money for child pornographers.

The affidavit notes that the FBI received court approval to monitor LeGro’s internet account in May. -NY Post

LeGro worked for the Post‘s sports department between 2000-2006, left to work as a reporter and producer for “PBS NewsHour“, and then returned to WaPo in 2013. At WaPo, he was part of a team of reporters who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for coverage of former Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore – who was the victim of a disinformation campaign funded by LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman.

The Post was threatened by Moore with a lawsuit after the outlet claimed that he romantically pursued a 14-year-old girl when he was in his 30s – an allegation he vehemently denied.

According to the NY Post, LeGro has been placed on leave. (Zero Hedge, 6/27/2025)  (Archive)

June 30, 2025 - DOJ announces the largest healthcare fraud takedown in history; 324 charged, 96 medical professionals indicted, $14.6 billion stolen

$14.6 BILLION in Healthcare Fraud EXPOSED — And the Fight to Take It Back Has Just Begun

America — this is the largest healthcare fraud takedown in U.S. history. And it was made possible because of @POTUS Trump’s Executive Order on Fraud, Waste & Abuse — and the leadership of @SecKennedy
Health and Human Services.

🔹 324 charged
🔹 96 medical professionals indicted
🔹 $14.6 BILLION in fraudulent claims uncovered
🔹 Over 1 million Americans’ identities stolen
🔹 Foreign rings from Russia, Eastern Europe, and Pakistan involved

Mehmet @DrOz, CMS Administrator, made it clear:

“This isn’t just about fraud.
It’s a coordinated attack on our health care system.
And we’re CRUSHING it.”

🧠 Dr. Oz revealed:
✅ $100M+ in taxpayer funds stopped before they could be stolen
✅ 27 providers under lockdown — payments frozen until verified
✅ New AI-powered Fraud War Room now operating at CMS
✅ Clinics caught billing for surgeries in two states at once… on the same day
Yes — that actually happened.

💉 DOJ’s Matthew Gallotti added:

“These aren’t just schemes — they’re THEFT from American families.
Every fake claim drives up our deficit and endangers care for our most vulnerable citizens.”

This takedown even uncovered doctors billing Medicare for skin graft surgeries on dying patients in nursing homes — just to cash in one last time before death.

This is evil wearing a white coat.

🇺🇸 President Trump’s Executive Order Was the Spark

When President Trump signed the E.O. to target fraud and protect Americans, he unleashed a federal coalition:

DOJ, FBI, CMS, DEA, State AGs, And HHS under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Together, they’re not just prosecuting criminals — they’re preventing crime before the money ever leaves the building.

📞 Protect Yourself — and Help the Fight

Dr. Oz called on Americans to take action:
“Over half of whistleblower tips we get are for healthcare fraud.
Help us stop it. Guard your data. Report abuse.”

🧠 Call: 1-800-HHS-TIPS

🛑 The era of turning Medicare into a piggy bank for global crime syndicates is OVER.

This is what happens when real leadership returns to Washington.

This is what happens when We the People are defended.

God bless the men and women who made this possible.

And may God bless America. 🇺🇸

June 30, 2025 - CNN promotes a new app to track ICE agents; Noem works with the DOJ to potentially prosecute CNN

Joshua Aaron has worked in and around the tech industry for around two decades. He built his first app — a blackjack game — at computer camp when he was 13.

His newest app is designed for a very different purpose: to let users alert people nearby to sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in their area.

Aaron launched the platform, called ICEBlock, in early April after watching President Donald Trump’s administration begin its immigration crackdown. The White House’s immigration policies have sparked mass protests across the United States; a CNN poll in April showed 52% of Americans polled said Trump has gone too far in deporting undocumented immigrants.

ICEBlock currently has more than 20,000 users, many of whom are in Los Angeles, where controversial, large-scale deportation efforts have taken place.

CNN also did a segment promoting the app.

WATCH:

Reporter Benny Johnson asked Noem and Trump about CNN’s coverage of the app that tracks ICE agents location.

Noem said CNN may be prosecuted.

“We’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that. What they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement…and operations,” Noem said.

“What they’re doing, we believe, is illegal,” Noem said.

July 2, 2025 - State Department: 90% of foreign aid was never used for its intended purpose

July 2, 2025 - The Census Scam: How sanctuary states steal congressional seats and electoral votes

(Credit: ACLU)

California would be the biggest winner in the sanctuary vote scam, as it would gain 11 more congressional seats due to immigrants and their young children being counted in the census.

President Trump is once again pushing to exclude illegal aliens from the census count used to determine congressional representation and Electoral College votes.

On January 20, 2025, he rescinded a Biden-era executive order that had mandated counting all residents regardless of immigration status, signaling his intent to revisit the policy. The president argues that including undocumented immigrants dilutes the political power of U.S. citizens and amounts to a form of voter suppression.

Trump declared that “States adopting policies that encourage illegal aliens to enter this country and that hobble Federal efforts to enforce the immigration laws passed by Congress should not be rewarded with greater representation in the House of Representatives”.

Liberal states are already mobilizing resistance, as they did during Trump’s first term when challengers led by New York, along with cities, counties, and immigrant rights groups, argued that Trump’s move could leave several million people uncounted and cause California, Texas and New Jersey to lose House seats.

New York Attorney General Letitia James accused Trump of trying to “punish states that are immigrant-rich” and “transfer power from those states that have significant number of immigrants to those that do not”, with groups including the ACLU immediately filing lawsuits arguing the policy violates the Constitution and federal law.

The scale of sanctuary jurisdictions protecting illegal aliens is staggering. The Center for Immigration Studies identifies 13 sanctuary states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Washington, along with 220 sanctuary cities and counties across the United States.

(…) This represents a massive transfer of political power from states that enforce immigration law to sanctuary jurisdictions that actively shield illegal aliens. The census scam allows sanctuary states and cities to artificially inflate their political representation while law-abiding states lose congressional seats and electoral votes they rightfully deserve based on their citizen populations.

July 3, 2025 - Clinton Foundation Whistleblowers: US Tax Court accepts our second appeal re ALL the claims we filed via IRS Criminal Investigation

SUMMARY REVIEW: Background and Our TWO Cases Ongoing in US Tax Court
Recommended Bookmark and Please Share

Two weeks ago, our decade-long efforts as Clinton Foundation Whistleblowers received significant increased focus stemming from articles written by @jsolomonReports re #Weaponization of various government agencies. This weaponization directly targeted and impacted us and our efforts.

I welcome providing this Summary Review because just as I stated in a video and 🧵posted on March 12, 2025 re these topics and our knowledge, “the public has a right to know.” https://x.com/CFWBers/status/1899974010865168723

Given that fact, I am presenting in this 🧵today further specifics to our efforts and cases without jeopardizing those USTC cases which are largely under seal.

BACKGROUND

August 2017: File 48-page WB Submission on the Clinton Foundation with IRS WB Office in Ogden, UT.

– While our WB Submission was accepted having cleared the requisite hurdles and navigated its way through the system, the IRS WB Office NEVER interviewed nor engaged us.

October 2017 – November 30, 2018: share our ongoing work product with FBI and DOJ on an ongoing basis and have meaningful interaction.

January 2018: WSJ reports DOJ opens investigation on the CF including interviewing the CF CFO whom we had met and engaged on November 30, 2016: https://wsj.com/articles/justice-department-probes-clinton-foundation-1515176878

December 13, 2018: we testify in public and under oath to the House Oversight Committee. This testimony receives much public attention. We are not challenged on the specific facts we present at this time or at any point in time since then. This testimony also caught the attention of IRS Criminal Investigations (IRS CI). (We enter at 90-minute mark: https://youtube.com/watch?v=pbZSuN7vTXw&t=2s )

Mid-January – Mid-April 2019: IRS CI fully engages us in the course of a half dozen meetings/calls totaling approximately 15-17 hours on the following dates: January 22nd, February 15th, February 26th, March 7th, March 29th, April 11th. Too much transpires in the course of these interactions to share in a post of this sort but I welcome providing the following highlights:

Jan 22, 2019: IRS CI agents inform us at this meeting that ran ~4 hours that they would inquire about our “formally” working with IRS CI as Cooperating Whistleblowers and would inquire as to if, where, how they could pursue the numerous claims and cases we laid out. IRS CI agent asks if he can take a photo of our CF WB White Board. We state, ‘of course.’

Shortly after this meeting, we learn that the senior IRS CI agent whom we met subsequently ‘took a downgrade’ in his standing/status so he could actually work these cases and not merely oversee them.

Feb 15, 2019: we meet again for ~3 hours. We fill out and submit 5 separate Form 211s (NOT on the CF but rather on other ‘supposedly’ charitable orgs) required to make a formal IRS WB Submission. IRS CI accepts and informs us they will process them. We present info that we believe is prima facie evidence of a fraud. The info is confirmed as such and as we understood it by the Assistant Special Agent in charge. Senior IRS CI agent informs us that having them shepherding our work product and claims made on the orgs we filed Form 211s will put us/them “much further along in the IRS pipeline.” We are informed that IRS CI has green light to move ahead with us with a working group already established and will formally register us as Cooperating Whistleblowers.

Mid-February 2019: having received a Preliminary Denial – to our original WB Submission made in Aug 2017 – from the IRS WB Office in early November 2018, we subsequently and not surprisingly receive a Final Denial. As we had indicated in our Congressional testimony, we could and would appeal a Final Denial to the US Tax Court. The IRS itself provided us guidance and direction in this regard.

Feb 26, 2019: Having just received the Final Denial noted above, we inquire of IRS CI if they would pick up on and work our CF efforts as well along with the other 5 specific claims/cases we presented and to which they had already confirmed commitment to working. They responded immediately, “Yes”. We fill out and provide them separate Form 211s on the CF and CF-related orgs.

We share a very specific document with the SAC (Special Agent in Charge, that is, the most senior IRS CI official in this office). This individual reviews the document for 5-7 minutes and responds, “well, this means the entire enterprise is a fraud.” I respond, “exactly.”

That was not the only document of that specific sort that we sourced. The SAC requests that at our next meeting we bring and provide them ALL of our materials AND a specific Outline replete with ALL specific names and data to expedite the pursuit of our claims/cases.

March 7, 2019: we are officially registered as Cooperating Whistleblowers. We provide IRS CI agents with ALL of our info, docs, thumb drives, Timelines, flow charts, org structures, contracts, emails, cash flows etc AS REQUESTED. We also provide the Outline to pursue the cases/claims AS REQUESTED.

We subsequently learn that IRS CI agents engaging us request a separate server given the volume of information we provided and the number of individuals within CI who would be and had already begun working on what we laid out.

Mid-March 2019: while still fully engaged with IRS CI, we file our Appeal of Denial to the US Tax Court and apprise IRS CI of this fact. If our appeal is subsequently accepted by the US Tax Court, our case would be Doyle, Moynihan v IRS.

March 29, 2019: We inform IRS CI of our appeal to the USTC. We provide further review of specifics regarding a number of orgs on which we had filed specific WB Claims et al which are highlighted on our CF WB White Board. I shared our CF WB White Board in a post I made March 12, 2025: https://x.com/CFWBers/status/1899974936481161616

April 11, 2019: given the interest displayed by IRS CI in our CF WB White Board since our initial meeting in January, I produce and provide them their own hard copy.

We review with greater specificity cash flows emanating from USAID via PEPFAR AND the Global Fund to the CF and other organizations on which we had filed claims.

We review with greater specificity the extensive nature of the interactions and involvement of 3 Ivy League institutions (Harvard, Yale, Columbia) with the CF et al.

After all that we had engaged on and shared – much of which was UPON REQUEST by IRS CI senior officials themselves – since our initial meeting on January 22, 2019, how did IRS CI respond at this meeting?

“We can’t talk about the Clinton Foundation.”

The meeting did not abruptly end.

We took our time as we reviewed and reminded them of ALL that had transpired over the prior weeks and months. They offered some defensive platitudes but as I wrote in my Notes, “there is absolutely no doubt that somebody up the chain of command blocked this pursuit.”

May – August 2019: we never stop working on our efforts and the cases/claims that might be pending at the US Tax Court based on how our appeal is treated.

August 28, 2019, 2:30pm: US Tax Court confirms acceptance of our Appeal of the Final Denial to our original CF WB Submission from August 2017.

Game on. ALL of what we have worked on is now no longer within the domain of the Executive Branch of the USG but now rather within the Judicial Branch.

Hey now.

Case #1:
Docket 4865-19W: Doyle, Moynihan v IRS: https://dawson.ustaxcourt.gov/case-detail/4865-19

Over the past 6+ years since filing the appeal that led to Docket 4865-19W, there are in excess of 10k pages that are on file on the USTC Docket. A meaningful majority of those pages have been submitted by us as Petitioners in this case. The Judge’s Rulings, Orders, Opinions are largely if not totally available to the public while our filings and those of the Respondent, that is the IRS, remain under seal.

October 8, 2020: The presiding Judge in Docket 4865-19W DENIES IRS Motion for Summary Judgment – that is Dismissal – based on his assessment that the IRS had ‘abused its discretion’ in the manner in which it handled our submission and more specifically if/how IRS Criminal Investigation had engaged. A major win for Doyle, Moynihan v IRS.
https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dawson.ustaxcourt.gov-documents-prod-us-east-1/61fdc130-0888-46c1-a446-14a9dba21945

The case was remanded back to the IRS in early 2021 for purposes of further review. IRS has NEVER challenged us on our documented evidence but rather has tried to make the case that the US Tax Court itself does not have jurisdiction in situations and cases such as the one we have presented.

While the case within Docket 4865-19W continues to proceed, I often tell those interested to look at our efforts AND cases in the context of the BIG PICTURE and especially recent developments re #weaponization and interference of selected USG agencies into legitimate efforts to investigate allegations of illegal activity.

March 19, 2024: we receive Final Denial to the Claims we made in early 2019 via IRS CI AND file a second appeal to the US Tax Court in regard these pursuits.

While Docket 4865-19W continues to proceed in US Tax Court . . .

Case #2:
Docket 4350-24W: Doyle, Moynihan v IRS

July 3, 2025: US Tax Court accepts our second appeal re ALL the Claims we filed via IRS CI in the early months of 2019. Trial Date set for December 1, 2025: https://dawson.ustaxcourt.gov/case-detail/4350-24

IRS once again files a challenge in re the jurisdiction of the US Tax Court.

Game on . . . again. #LFG

We welcome these fights and regardless of whom is currently overseeing the IRS or to whom this governmental agency reports, we are fighting on behalf of America and all those within our nation and the world at large who love Freedom, Truth, Justice, Accountability and the Rule of Law.

These are most worthy endeavors.

July 4, 2025 - DataRepublican exposes a Soros-funded former Defense Department advisor celebrating the flash flooding and deaths in Kerr County, Texas

Carlos Alvarez-Aranyos (Credit: LinkedIn)

Hello “Mrs. Butters” – or more likely, Mr. Álvarez-Aranyos,

I came across American Opposition via the link in your X bio and decided to take a closer look.

According to its own description, American Opposition is a “non-profit, non-connected political action committee created to counter the rise of fascism in the United States.” In reality, it looks more like a barely-functioning vanity project. The FEC filing (Committee ID: C00896720) confirms it’s a newly formed PAC with little traction or visibility.

If your Threads activity is any indicator – where you regularly post that Pete Buttigieg deserves more influence than Harry Sisson or Lindy Li, it’s no surprise the project isn’t gaining ground.

The American Opposition Threads feed mostly showcases photos of the founder (you) attending protests. It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that this PAC serves as a vehicle for you to play full-time activist on someone else’s dime — though apparently, not many dimes are coming in. Despite your background, it seems you didn’t cultivate enough support in the NGO world to land real institutional backing.

Let’s review that background: You launched the online edition of Editora Listín Diario while still in college. Later, you advised the Department of Defense on “strategic communications” during the Iraq and Afghanistan operations. Most notably, you led strategic comms for Protect Democracy during the 2020 election, a group bankrolled in large part by Open Society Foundations. That’s Soros money, plain and simple.

So the image starts to clarify: a military-to-NGO pipeline operative with Soros backing, trying to rebrand as grassroots opposition. But if this PAC is your flagship, the branding isn’t working.

So your way of coping with your own failure is to mock Texans suffering through a devastating natural disaster on an X account called “Mrs. Butters.”

Stop being evil.

July 4, 2025 - DCCC Chair DelBene: It’s GOP’s fault Dems aren’t talking about tax cuts for non-rich

On Wednesday’s edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press Now,” Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-WA) said that Democrats haven’t really talked about extending the 2017 tax cuts for people making under $400,000 annually because Republicans aren’t being bipartisan.

Host Kelly O’Donnell asked:

“Another component of this is maintaining the 2017 tax cuts, at that time, so, now, it would be a matter of maintaining that, not new cuts for most Americans. The Democratic Party in 2024 did talk about wanting to make sure that those tax levels remained low for those earning under $400,000 a year. But I don’t hear Democrats talking about the tax cut piece of this much. What’s your response to that?”

DelBene answered:

“Well, I think, maybe we would be in a different place if we were actually coming together to talk about what we can do to help make sure families across the country can thrive. We would talk about putting together a tax policy that is fair, that puts working families first, this is tax policy that puts billionaires first, all of the permanency in the tax bill that they’re putting forward is for the wealthiest and large corporations. It’s not for working families. So, let’s have that conversation. Let’s have that be the priority, let’s expand the child tax credit and help, again, lower childhood poverty across the country. These are important priorities, something we could be working on in a bipartisan way, but there’s been nothing bipartisan about this.”

July 5, 2025 - Sanjay Gupta gaslights the public about his history of reporting on the Covid vaccine

Sanjay Gupta, much like his buddy Jake Tapper, is now trying to gaslight us and rewrite history.

Gupta just told Gavin Newsom that it was a mistake for people to claim that the vaccine protected against infection and transmission, but that he wasn’t one of the people making those claims.

Hey Gupta, nice try. Let’s roll the tape.

July 6, 2025 - The DOJ and FBI say they found no proof Jeffrey Epstein was murdered, kept a “client list,” or blackmailed powerful figures

December 19, 2023 Federal judge confirms the existence of a Jeffrey Epstein “associates” list:


In February 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated on Fox News that a Jeffrey Epstein “client list” was “sitting on my desk right now to review,” suggesting it was under consideration for public release as directed by President Trump.

Mike Benz explains exactly how the Epstein files are controlled by the CIA, not the FBI, and demands that the agency release everything to the public:

“I want answers from the CIA. You and I can’t get the kind of access he had as normal civilians. In 2020 the Justice Department did a 350 page report.. One footnote.. About CIA connection.. that says “We asked Acosta about Jeffrey Epstein being an Intelligence agent, he said no.” Softball question of the century.”

“That’s all we get? No questions about conversations, no evidentiary trail or who spoke to him. Set up to fail. End of the story. There is a complete lack of enthusiasm to finding out the answers. They have not shown us any evidence of what they’ve seen. Is there no evidence of no appetite?”

Mike Benz exposes Former U.S AG Bill Barr’s dark history with Epstein, He was the CIA’s mop-up man and his father worked directly with him, “Family business”:

“Epstein died under his watch.. Did the blocking and tackling the first time around. There was an immediate conflict of interest.. Both were actively involved in the Iran-Contra scandal.”

“You had an immediate conflict of interest when Barr said Epstein killed himself and that the case was closed. You’ve got the CIA’s mop-up man as the head of the Justice Department and his father worked directly with Epstein. Father like son, family business.”

At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists, Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.

Why it matters: House Democrats told Axios they see a growing anger among their base that has, in some cases, morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law.

  • “This idea that we’re going to save every norm and that we’re not going to play [Republicans’] game … I don’t think that’s resonating with voters anymore,” said one House Democrat.
  • Another told Axios that a “sense of fear and despair and anger” among voters “puts us in a different position where … we can’t keep following norms of decorum.”
  • Axios spoke to more than two dozen House Democrats for this story, with many requesting anonymity to offer candid insights about their interactions with constituents and activists.

Zoom out: For months, Democratic lawmakers have fumed that their base’s demands to “fight harder” misunderstand the lack of legislative and investigative power afforded to the minority party in Congress.

  • “We’ve got people who are desperately wanting us to do something … no matter what we say, they want [more],” Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), the chair of the center-left New Democrat Coalition, told Axios.
  • Liberal voters have angrily accosted Democrats at town halls for — in their view — not doing enough to counter President Trump’s agenda.
  • In response, some Democrats have tried to up the ante: Heckling Trump, mounting rogue impeachment attempts, and getting tackled by law enforcement and even indicted in their efforts to scrutinize the president’s deportation campaign.

What we’re hearing: The grassroots wants more. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.

  • “Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” the lawmaker said.
  • A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them “civility isn’t working” and to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”
  • A fifth House Democrat told Axios that “people online have sent me crazy s*** … told me to storm the White House and stuff like that,” though they added that “there’s always people on the internet saying crazy stuff.”

Between the lines: While other Democratic lawmakers said their discussions haven’t gone that far, nearly every one who spoke to Axios cited examples of voters’ panic and fury fueling demands to adopt brute force tactics. (Read more: Axios, 7/7/2025)  (Archive)

July 8, 2025 - Another color revolution is forming against President Trump – this one darker than ever…

(Credit: Revolver News)

For decades, the United States government has run covert psychological operations overseas to destabilize foreign regimes and engineer regime change under the false banner of spreading democracy. They make these color revolutions look like spontaneous protests and “people power” movements. But they’re all staged. They’re run by government spooks, globalist nonprofits, and media hacks. This is the same script they’ve used overseas for years, and now they’re running it here, against Americans.

And they’re at it again, but this time the colors are darker than ever and the revolution is sneakier than ever before. More on that shortly…

Since Donald Trump splashed on the political scene, riding that Trump Tower escalator down to political history, the national security blob has turned its arsenal against the American people. The intelligence tricks that were once used on foreign authoritarians are now being used to destroy Trump and his movement.

We at Revolver didn’t just call this early; we actually laid it all out. Our original Color Revolution series exposed how deep this US psyop went. We named names. We connected dots. We pulled receipts. And that’s exactly why we became a target.

Revolver:

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is a component of the Department of Homeland Security — yes, the same Department of Homeland Security that housed the ill-fated, Orwellian Disinformation Governance Board led by everyone’s favorite Harry Potter erotica musician Nina Jankowicz (we’re not kidding).

While CISA was engaged in fairly aggressive censorship efforts designed to combat foreign disinformation, it ran into some First Amendment limitations when it came to its true desire to censor domestic political speech in the lead-up to the 2020 election. This is where the other organization Taibbi mentions comes into play–the technically non-governmental Election Integrity Partnership (EIP). Because the EIP was not technically part of the government, it could engage in the aggressive censorship that CISA and DHS wanted, without having to worry about minutiae such as the First Amendment…

That little nugget above might sound like a weird alphabet soup of censorship, but when you break it down, it’s actually the building blocks of a full-blown regime control machine that’s cleverly hiding behind words like “safety” and “integrity,” and of course their precious “democracy.”

(…) And that’s the key here, folks. Color revolutions aren’t just about protests or elections. They’re about controlling the way people absorb and think about events. They shape perception. And that brings us to the next chapter of this playbook.

Because now, the same regime change operatives that Trump fired from the federal government are back, and they’re pissed and aren’t hiding their agenda, not even a tiny bit. Here’s what these bad guys are up to now.

NOTUS:

Some of the democracy-building experts President Donald Trump fired this year from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department are now reapplying the skills and knowledge they built up over decades to undermine Trump’s power.

For years, these officials were stationed across the globe actively supporting opposition movements in autocratic nations. Now they’ve got time, a network of former colleagues and a growing sense of moral indignation. “Take it from those of us who worked in authoritarian countries: We’ve become one,” said a currently employed federal official, who spoke to NOTUS on condition of anonymity. “They were so quick to disband AID, the group that supposedly instigates color revolutions. But they’ve done a very foolish thing. You just released a bunch of well-trained individuals into your population. If you kept our offices going and had us play solitaire in the office, it might have been safer to keep your regime.” The former officials tell NOTUS they’re holding workshops on a tactic called “noncooperation.”

They’re building a network of government workers willing to engage in even minor acts of rebellion in the office. And they’re planting the seeds of what they hope could become a nationwide general strike. Some in the informal network of Trump opponents are sharing an old CIA pamphlet with allies who still work in the government: It’s called “Simple Sabotage.”

So, to put it as simply as possible, Trump didn’t just fire a few bureaucrats; he inadvertently scattered an entire trained insurgency out into the wild. These are people who spent their careers funding revolutions, starting civil unrest, and pushing political dissidents into so-called “peaceful protest” in authoritarian states. And now they’re applying all that expertise… right here at home, in the land of the “free.”

They’re actually holding workshops on “noncooperation.” They are literally passing around CIA sabotage manuals as some quiet bedside reading material. And they’re setting up nationwide “resistance” networks. And yes, you know this all sounds familiar, because this isn’t our first rodeo. We busted the color revolution door wide open with our reporting on the actual architect of this very playbook: Norm Eisen.

Revolver:

In our report on Never Trump State Department official George Kent, Revolver News first drew attention to the ominous similarities between the strategies and tactics the United States government employs in so-called “Color Revolutions” and the coordinated efforts of government bureaucrats, NGOs, and the media to oust President Trump. Our recent follow-up to this initial report focused specifically on a shadowy, George Soros-linked group called the Transition Integrity Project (TIP), which convened “war games” exercises suggesting the likelihood of a “contested election scenario” and of ensuing chaos should President Trump refuse to leave office.

We further showed how these “contested election” scenarios we are hearing so much about play perfectly into the Color Revolution framework sketched out in Revolver News’ first installment in the Color Revolution series. This third installment of Revolver News’ series exposing the Color Revolution against Trump will focus on one quiet and indeed mostly overlooked participant in the Transition Integrity Project’s biased election “war games” exercise—a man by the name of Norm Eisen. As the man who implemented the David Brock blueprint for suing the President into paralysis and his allies into bankruptcy, who helped mainstream and amplify the Russia Hoax, who drafted 10 articles of impeachment for the Democrats a full month before President Trump ever called the Ukraine President in 2018, who personally served as special counsel litigating the Ukraine impeachment, and who created a template for Internet censorship of world leaders and a handbook for mass mobilizing racial justice protesters to overturn democratic election results, there is perhaps no man alive with a more decorated resume for plots against President Trump.

Indeed, the story of Norm Eisen—a key architect of nearly every attempt to delegitimize, impeach, censor, sue, and remove the democratically elected 45th President of the United States—is a tale that winds through nearly every facet of the color revolution playbook. There is no purer embodiment of Revolver’s thesis that the very same regime change professionals who run Color Revolutions on behalf of the US government in order to undermine or overthrow alleged “authoritarian” governments overseas are running the very same playbook to overturn Trump’s 2016 victory and to preempt a repeat in 2020.

To put it simply, what you see is not just the same Color Revolution playbook run against Trump, but the same people using it against Trump who have employed it in a professional capacity against targets overseas—same people, same playbook. In Norm Eisen’s case, the “same people, same playbook” refrain takes an arrestingly literal turn when one realizes that Norm Eisen wrote a classic Color Revolution regime change manual and conveniently titled it “The Playbook.”

July 8, 2025 - FBI launches criminal investigations of John Brennan, James Comey

(Credit: Fox News)

Former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are under criminal investigation for potential wrongdoing related to the Trump–Russia probe, including allegedly making false statements to Congress, Justice Department sources told Fox News Digital.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to FBI Director Kash Patel for potential prosecution, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital.

The sources said that the referral was received and told Fox News Digital that a criminal investigation into Brennan was opened and is underway. DOJ sources declined to provide further details. It is unclear, at this point, if the investigation spans beyond his alleged false statements to Congress.

As for Comey, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital that an investigation into the former director is underway, but could not share details of what specifically is being probed.

July 8, 2025 - Mike Benz: “Jeffrey Epstein was working with the CIA since 1981"

As the debate rages over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, Foundation for Freedom Online founder Mike Benz took a close look at Epstein’s history with the intel community talking to host Jesse Kelly. Benz has promised a deep dive on the topic soon.

Mike Benz: Epstein was working with the CIA in the early 1980s at the very start of his career after he left Bear Stearns. In 1981, right after leaving Bear Stearns, Jeffrey Epstein created a one-person for-profit company in his one-bedroom New York apartment. It was called the Intercontinental Assets Group, and it held itself out as an international bounty hunter for high-net-worth individuals to both recover money and shield money internationally. Right away in 1981, he starts this company that basically helped royalty and high-net-worth individuals basically recover loan debts or assets owed to them that were held in cryptic offshore bank accounts, as well as helping them structure their own assets in a way that would make it difficult or impossible for others to collect those assets.

And in 1982, just one year into that, he got a fake passport, an Austrian passport, listing his residence as Saudi Arabia. This is a fake passport. This was recovered by the FBI in 2019 when they drilled a hole in Jeffrey Epstein’s safe and recovered this. Prosecutors held this passport up at the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. Now, this fake passport was so good that it was able to go through four different country checkpoints. It had a false name, but Jeffrey Epstein’s photo, so that he could get back and forth. And why Saudi Arabia? Well, because Jeffrey Epstein, one of his main clients for the group that he set up in 1981, was Adnan Khashoggi.

Adnan Khashoggi was the CIA arms runner for the Iran-Contra affair when Congress blocked the U.S. federal government through a congressional law called the Bolan Amendment, with the Democrats controlling the House of Representatives, banning any U.S. funds from being directed to the overthrow of the Nicaraguan Sandinista government. And the Reagan White House and National Security Council and Central Intelligence Agency wanted to do it anyway. They were left with a problem, which was that the CIA had been neutered during the Jimmy Carter years. There had been prohibitions on the categories of covert activity it could do, and the Bolan Amendment from Congress blocked them from using U.S. aid funds or State Department funds to run the operation.

Enter Jeffrey Epstein and Adnan Khashoggi, his client. During the Iran-Contra affair, which dogged the entire Reagan administration when all this came out, the U.S. was selling arms together with Israel to Iran, which is kind of ironic as the current geopolitics of Israel-Iran play out around missiles flying overhead earlier this month between those two countries. Israel and the U.S. were selling weapons to Iran at that time through Adnan Khashoggi, the Saudi arms dealer who had been working with the CIA for 30 years.

In fact, this all came out in formal, under-oath testimony from the Paris office of BCCI, which was the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, one of the largest banks in the world, which was effectively a CIA proprietary bank for running arms to the Mujaheddin when the CIA was creating the Islamo-terrorist network that would later become Al Qaeda and then ISIS. Adnan Khashoggi was a client of that bank, together with the CIA, and the head of the head of the Paris branch said that Adnan Khashoggi personally told him that he was working for the Central Intelligence Agency and Jeffrey Epstein was his money bundler. This is at the height of the Cold War, mind you.

And so you see this relationship going back to the early 1980s. In 1985, Jeffrey Epstein becomes linked up with Les Wexner in Columbus, Ohio. Les Wexner was the head of what at the time was the largest retailer in the entire United States, limited brands, famous for Victoria’s Secret and many, many others. Les Wexner’s tax attorney, Arthur Shapiro, was murdered in a gangland style assassination in 1985, the day before he was set to testify in an IRS grand jury investigation. The IRS had been looking into the Wexner empire’s finances and failure to, I think, file taxes for something like five years and seven years of investigation. Arthur Shapiro, who ran that, was supposed to testify to the IRS grand jury just one day before he was gunned down.

It was right after that that Jeffrey Epstein appears to meet Les Wexner and then go on to have durable power of attorney over the entire Wexner enterprise. In 1993, Jeffrey Epstein personally negotiated the sale, the transfer of Air America, which would then become Southern Air Transport, a CIA proprietary airline straight from Miami, where it got busted as part of the Iran-Contra gun trafficking and narcotics trafficking in order to run this illicit operation in Iran-Contra. That very airline used Jeffrey and that Jeffrey Epstein was a critical part in the structuring of this CIA operation. He then negotiated the transfer of that CIA airliner straight to Columbus, Ohio, where the Wexner empire was based for the primary purpose of transporting the limited cargo between Ohio and Hong Kong, which is another one of these narco states. Hong Kong was won by the British during the opium wars and has been kind of a lawless gun and drug running zone ever since.

How does one get to be the financial bundler for the CIA’s main arms, illicit arms trafficker in the Middle East without having any scrutiny from the Central Intelligence Agency? How does one personally negotiate the transfer of a CIA proprietary airline? By the way, Southern Air Transport declared bankruptcy in Columbus, Ohio, the very day the CIA put out an acknowledgement of Air America’s role in the gun running and narco trafficking in Iran-Contra. Subsequent to that, the US State Department personally made Jeffrey Epstein the tenant on the lease for one of the second largest residents in all of New York City. This residence was seized from the government of Iran as the US was putting sanctions on it and then personally leased out to Jeffrey Epstein. How do you have the State Department as your personal landlord? Do you think you or I, Jesse, could score something like that?

The State Department then ended up in a legal dispute with Jeffrey Epstein because Jeffrey Epstein subleased that apartment to the defense lawyer for the “French Connection” and “Pizza Connection” drug scandals (Ivan Fisher), where you had CIA involvement in narco trafficking that was effectively dealt, you know, hushed over in this trial through this very defense lawyer that Jeffrey Epstein then leased the State Department building seized from Iran from. What I’m trying to communicate here is that every aspect of the Jeffrey Epstein story is part of the restructuring of intelligence work after the scandals of the 1970s when the CIA was barred from doing activity directly. And that’s when USAID came into the picture and took the baton from CIA and these and the NGO apparatus that we’re now living under with the National Endowment for Democracy and Internews and the US Agency for US Institute of Peace and the web of private contractors and private financiers in order to be the front men for CIA operations. Jeffrey Epstein was present at creation of that entire apparatus. There is zero chance on God’s green earth that there are no CIA files on this guy.

And the fact that this justice department has effectively pointed us to the FBI when this is a CIA job is not a good look for transparency.
