Synopsis of “Why I Think The J6 Fedsurrection Was Planned At This Secret Meeting In June 2020” This YouTube video, uploaded by independent journalist and commentator Darren Beattie (of Revolver News), runs approximately 25 minutes and presents a speculative but evidence-based theory that the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot—derisively termed the “J6 Fedsurrection” by the host—was not a spontaneous insurrection but a manufactured event orchestrated by federal intelligence agencies. Beattie argues that the groundwork was laid at a secretive June 2020 meeting involving key players from the military, intelligence community, and political operatives. The tone is investigative and urgent, blending...

A longtime political operative known for pulling unhinged stunts in the service of Democrats was allowed to get dangerously close to the president today. Wearing a suit and posing as a member of the press pool, Ryan Clayton screamed "Trump is treason!" and threw a handful of Russian flags at the president as he walked alongside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on his way to a GOP Senate lunch at the Capitol. Clayton, who was arrested at the scene, is a member of the Robert Creamer group "Americans Take Action," according to Project Veritas' James O'Keefe.Tuesday's incident wasn't the first time...

Last week’s FBI raid targeting former National Security Adviser John Bolton reaches beyond alleged mishandling of classified documents in relation to a book he published in 2020, according to a report from Fox News citing a Trump Administration source. The report has fueled speculation that the former Trump official could face criminal charges. Legal experts have long speculated that Bolton could face legal troubles due to his 2020 book “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” in which he trashed his former boss extensively. A lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleged...

UK’s Labour Censorship InitiativeAs economic and cultural suicide stalk Western Europe, it has initiated efforts to hobble America's technological advantage and diminish our freedoms. The first documented attacks on our open dialogue came from the UK and began in 2018 when Morgan McGreevy, Keir Starmer’s chief of staff (then Labour Together’s managing director), began and funded an outfit called Stop Funding Fake News (SFFN). Recognizing that the online news purveyors could best be silenced by depriving them of funds, it first targeted UK outfits, but moved on in an attempt to starve U.S. outfits like American Thinker, Breitbart, Zero Hedge,...

From 7/7 to Manchester 2025 – the story they refuse to tellAfter the Manchester synagogue attack, I began tracing two decades of Islamic terrorism in Britain – uncovering a disturbing pattern hidden in plain sight. This is not prejudice. It’s record-keeping – and a warning about policies putting us all at risk.ManchesterI didn’t learn about the Manchester synagogue terrorist attack until I opened my phone after Yom Kippur had ended. I had also missed messages from my cousin, who had witnessed the event and been evacuated from her home by the police.By 7:30 the following morning, I had already traced...

The accident in the makeshift mine occurred on Friday about 3pm local time (13:00 GMT) following heavy rains in the town of Kamituga in South Kivu province. The mine was not located on the Kamituga gold concession owned by the Canadian miner Banro Corporation, the company's chief executive said. Thousands of informal miners operate in and around mines in DRC, which produces more than half of the world's cobalt, a key component in electric car batteries. Mining accidents are common, with dozens of deaths every year in mines where often ill-equipped diggers burrow deep underground in search for ore. Last...

A Democratic state senator, elected school board member, multiple representatives of the NAACP, and a passel of taxpayer-supported public defenders have been charged with felonies for tearing down a Confederate statue and nearly killing a man. You’ll remember the June 10th incident, which was widely mocked for being a play-stupid-games, win-stupid-prizes moment, when those pulling down the statue didn’t bother to see who was standing in its path. Any levity over it, however, instantly vanished when the man suffered severe brain damage from the incident. That horrific sight triggered an investigation, resulting in the felony charges Portsmouth, Virginia Police Chief Angela...

The Supreme Court's decision in DHS v. Regents of the University of California will likely decide the face of the DACA program and that opinion is expected in weeks. If you have read an article on DACA recently, it is likely that it was a one-dimensional piece featuring some DACA recipient working in healthcare who is facing a loss of employment. At the same time, you would have more luck looking for a unicorn than you would looking for an article in the nation's elite media that analyzes the legal issues before the Supreme Court or makes any mention of...

Iraqi security forces were on Friday (June 26) interrogating pro-Iran fighters detained for planning a rocket attack in the first such raid in a country caught in the tug-of-war between Teheran and Washington. Since October, nearly three dozen deadly rocket attacks have hit US military and diplomatic installations in Iraq, with the US blaming pro-Teheran faction Kataeb Hezbollah. Infuriated, Washington has demanded Iraq take tougher action to hold the perpetrators accountable and Thursday's unprecedented raid appeared to be a response to this call. Just before midnight Thursday, the elite Counter-Terrorism Service stormed a base in southern Baghdad used by Kataeb...

CARACAS, Venezuela — (AP) — Venezuela's Supreme Court, loyal to President Nicolás Maduro, on Tuesday ordered the takeover of two influential political parties opposed to the socialist government ahead of parliamentary elections expected this year. The court suspended and replaced the board of directors for the Justice First party a day after the same move against the Democratic Action, one of the nation's oldest and largest parties. It was part of a “necessary restructuring process,” the court said in rulings posted on Facebook. No legal action was taken, however, against Popular Will, the party of opposition leader Juan Guaidó, who...

Workers in Washington, D.C., have started the process of dismantling Black Lives Matter Plaza — including the bright yellow mural that has been on 16th Street since the race riots of June 2020. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered the eyesore painted a block away from the White House after George Floyd’s death. Bowser described the city-sanctioned vandalism as a show of “solidarity,” but it was widely mocked as pandering — even by the left. The 35-foot-tall letters cost taxpayers over $4 million to install and maintain. Congress passed the removal of the mural after Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde introduced a...

“Head’s Up: Firing the National Archivist. More of how the new authoritarian regime is taking over. Control the press, control education and control what remains of the history of our country.” I pulled the quote above off Facebook this morning. I could have pulled a score more like it, most of them from educated liberal females (ELFs), all of them actual friends or relatives. This one impressed me for its concise summary of ELF concerns and ELF cluelessness. “What remains of our history?” Ladies, can we step back in time just five years and recall how eagerly you ceded control...

close Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison on investigation in George Floyd's death The son of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison tweeted on Sunday that he is declaring his support for Antifa after President Trump said that his administration would be declaring it a "Terrorist Organization." Jeremiah Ellison, who is a member of the Minneapolis City Council, noted in the tweet that he believes "white power" terrorists are actually the ones engaging in the looting, arson and other riot activities as violent sects hijack some of the protests against racial inequality and police brutality in the wake of the death of...

Jeremiah Ellison, a Minneapolis city councilman and the son of the Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, is calling for a total do-over of the Minneapolis Police Department after the death of George Floyd. "We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department," Ellison tweeted on Thursday. "And when we’re done, we’re not simply gonna glue it back together. We are going to dramatically rethink how we approach public safety and emergency response. It’s really past due."

Lusaka, Zambia (CNN)The trail of blood outside the warehouse door was the only immediate sign that a murder had taken place. But CCTV footage seized by police, and seen by CNN, revealed a brutal afternoon of carnage. At midday on Sunday, May 24, three Zambian attackers with iron bars entered the grounds of a Chinese-owned textile warehouse in Lusaka. Police said they were pretending to be potential customers. But the trio did not want to do business. Over the next 17 minutes, the CCTV footage shows, they beat two men and one woman to death in the courtyard, before dragging...
