In a rare and extraordinary pushback, new FBI Director Kash Patel said Friday night that media reports claiming a female agent ran a “honeypot” operation against Donald Trump during the Obama years was not true and unfair to the agent. “A female agent was falsely referenced in the media this week as part of an alleged whistleblower disclosure- she was NOT a honeypot,” Patel wrote in a post on the social media platform X. “I have reviewed the matter, again, and she did the limited job assigned to her. These actions were also reviewed by Special Counsel John Durham and...

The plot thickens. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Jeffrey Epstein tried to blackmail Bill Gates after learning about an affair Gates had with a young woman. Epstein learned that Gates had an affair with a Russian bridge player and when Gates shot down a donation request from Epstein, Jeffrey sent him an email reminding the Microsoft founder what he knew. According to The Wall Street Journal: “The Microsoft co-founder met the woman around 2010, when she was in her 20s. Epstein met her in 2013 and later paid for her to attend software coding school. In 2017, Epstein...

VIDEOYou need to hear it from the lips of the man who created the FBI's Operation Honeypot, James Comey. Keep in mind that this is the man who Comey MOST admired for his ethical behavior. And that person could well be the co-defendant with Comey in the trial of the highly illegal plot to take down Donald Trump when he first ran for President.Also highly weird is that Mr. Honeypot taught a college course on the subject of ...ethics.

New leadership at the FBI is starting an investigation into the origins of the agency’s plan a decade ago to infiltrate the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump using two female undercover “honeypot” agents. The off-the-books investigation, launched in 2015 by former FBI Director James Comey, was revealed by an agency whistleblower in a protected disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee last year and first reported exclusively by The Washington Times in October. In the intelligence community, a honeypot commonly refers to an undercover operative, usually a woman, who feigns sexual or romantic interest to obtain information from a target.

“Mr. Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: ‘Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action’.” - Goldfinger, Ian Fleming (1959) On the eve of America’s election, Democrats and their media wing are putting in overtime suppressing stories that are unflattering to Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. As this newsletter just reported, Walz has longstanding ties to the People’s Republic of China which are highly concerning from a counterintelligence perspective. Just don’t expect the mainstream media to investigate any of this, especially so close to the election. However, when...

The House Judiciary Committee is examining a whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James B. Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation. An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee. The whistleblower disclosure said two female FBI undercover agents infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honeypots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail. According...

Have you ever wondered whether the group known as 'Patriot Front', which declares itself a white supremacy organization, is a genuine extremist group or merely a psyop funded and organized by federal authorities? I have questioned this as well. The group emerged roughly six years ago following the participation of its founder, Thomas Ryan Rousseau, at the infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Intriguingly, Rousseau tends to recruit exceptionally fit and disciplined individuals, the likes of whom would be ideal candidates for the FBI, HSI, or the USMC. Many, including myself, are skeptical that a 25-year-old without formal education...

The politicians, military officers, and government contractors who visited high-end brothels in eastern Virginia and Boston may have been lured into a ‘honeypot’ scheme by Israel, Russia, China or South Korea, according to intel officials. The Daily Mail reported: Intelligence experts are becoming increasingly convinced that six high end brothels in the suburbs of Boston and Washington, D.C. were set up by a foreign nation as an espionage ‘honeytrap’. They believe the brothels – allegedly masterminded by a 41-year-old South Korean woman – targeted politicians, high ranking government officials and defense contractors. But the mystery is which country was behind...

GOP Representative Tim Burchett sat for an interview with Benny Johnson this week. During the interview Burchett said conservative lawmakers are being blackmailed after being caught naked in a bed with a honeypot. That’s why they are voting so crazy. Rep. Tim Burchett: You got powerful people and they write the big checks. Well let’s be honest and powerful people in this country, they write the big checks and they’re the ones out on the tarmac when the president comes and visits. And whichever party they’re in, they always either out on the tarmac or in the private room. They’re...

A New Zealand government whistleblower has come forward with explosive official data that shows more than 20% of the nation’s citizens have now died after receiving their Covid mRNA shots. Like many other countries around the world, New Zealand has suffered an unprecedented spike in excess deaths over the past two years. Due to strict mandates and heavy government pressure during the Covid pandemic, the vast majority of the New Zealand population is fully vaccinated. Official data shows that 95.8% of the eligible New Zealand population aged 12 and over have received one dose of the Covid mRNA shots. While...

40-year-old Michigan man who was known for his vigilante work that exposed child predators was shot to death on Friday night in Detroit. The Oakland County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) says that Robert Lee of Pontiac was at Universal Coney Island that night confronting a person he believed was a pedophile at a restaurant, WJBK reports.

He went by the name “Boopac Shakur” on Facebook and has more than 11,000 followers on the platform. The man Lee accused...

House Democrats killed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (D-CA) resolution to force Rep. Eric Swalwell (R-CA) off of the House Intelligence Committee. The House voted 218-200 Thursday night to table or kill the resolution.nThere were three Republicans who voted present, Michael Guest (R-MS), Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), and David Joyce (R-OH). Last week Breitbart News reported, after Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) reappointed Swalwell to the Intelligence Committee, McCarthy was going to put forth a resolution to force Swalwell off his Intelligence Committee assignment. This came after a report alleged Swalwell had a relationship with a Chinese spy. This was another attempt by...

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Wednesday during PBS’s impeachment coverage that President Donald Trump had “radicalized” his supporters the same way the late terrorist leader Osama bin Laden had. Anchor Judy Woodruff said, “Another argument the Republicans are making is that yes, the people who stormed the Capitol, they should be held accountable, but President Trump himself wasn’t part of the mob. They keep citing one of the words he used in his speech to the crowd last Wednesday. They said he used the word peaceful. He wanted them to be peaceful, among many other words he spoke. They’re saying...

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) called for Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, to be “removed from Congress” following an explosive report this week about his connections to a suspected Chinese spy. “This is only the tip of the iceberg because remember what we’re hearing, these are Chinese spies that go down to the level of a mayor, they court and help a city councilmember become a congressman, this congressman now gets on the Intel Committee,” McCarthy told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “They are only selected for the Intel Committee by the leaders...

VIDEOChina's honeypot spy, Christine Fang aka Fang Fang, besides milking the Eric Swalwell sap who sits on the House Intelligence Committee for information has also been reported as having Fang-Fanged two midwest mayors. We already know that one of those mayors was in Ohio which narrows down the list of Fang-Fanged suspects. In this video, I analyze the possible suspects.Keep in mind that Fang Fang was probably not alone in China's honeypot spy operation. I am sure there were many more politicians who were Ching-Chinged or Chong-Chonged.

Researchers set up a tempting honeypot to monitor how cyber criminals would exploit it. Then it came under attack. Security company Cybereason built a 'honeypot' designed to look like an electricity company with operations across Europe and North America. The network was made to look authentic to entice potential attackers by including IT and operational technology environments, as well as human interface interface systems. ... it was only three days until attackers discovered the network and were finding ways to compromise it – including a ransomware campaign which infiltrated chunks of the network, as well as grabbing log-in credentials. "Only...

A group of conservative Irish students identified themselves as the administrators of a prevalent Irish ANTIFA Twitter account on Friday, revealing that they had created the account as a so-called ‘honeypot’ operation to expose the institutional corruption and elite support the leftist terror group is a beneficiary of... ...‘Irish Students Against Fascism’ was actually a project created by the Burkean, an Irish conservative website run by students. The Twitter account advertised an upcoming left-wing website that would be used to slander and doxx conservative Irish students.

The Federalist has learned that the now-outed CIA and FBI informant Stefan Halper served as a source for Washington Post reporter David Ignatius, providing more evidence that the intelligence community has co-opted the press to push anti-Trump conspiracy theories. In addition, an email recently obtained by The Federalist from the MI5-connected Christopher Andrew bragging that his long-time friend Ignatius has the “‘inside track’ on Flynn” adds further confirmation of this conclusion.Svetlana Lokhova, the Russian-born English citizen and Soviet-era scholar, told The Federalist that she only realized the significance of her communications with and about Ignatius following the filing of attorney...

Hackers are using BlueKeep to break into Windows systems and install a cryptocurrency miner. Security researchers have spotted the first mass-hacking campaign using the BlueKeep exploit; however, the exploit is not being used as a self-spreading worm, as Microsoft was afraid it would happen last May when it issued a dire warning and urged users to patch. Instead, a hacker group has been using a demo BlueKeep exploit released by the Metasploit team back in September to hack into unpatched Windows systems and install a cryptocurrency miner. This BlueKeep campaign has been happening at scale for almost two weeks, but...

The Democrats have tried to smear President Trump by association with Jeffrey Epstein, while ignoring the fact that Bill Clinton was a frequent flyer on the Lolita Express. It turns out that Trump actually threw Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago: President Trump was asked about Epstein — a billionaire who rubbed shoulders with celebrities and world leaders — while speaking to reporters on Tuesday. “I knew him like everybody in Palm Beach knew him. He was a fixture in Palm Beach. I had a falling out with him a long time ago,” Trump said. “I don’t think I’ve spoken to him...
