Six [lefti-]Israeli and American nonprofits have been ordered to report on how they used funds they received from the Biden administration during protests against plans for legal reform; 'USAID and the State Department provided direct support to Hamas,' the lawmakers claim.

For more than a decade, the United States has nurtured a secret intelligence partnership with Ukraine that is now critical for both countries in countering Russia... Nestled in a dense forest, the Ukrainian military base appears abandoned and destroyed, its command center a burned-out husk, a casualty of a Russian missile barrage early in the war. But that is above ground. Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive...

Barack Obama has lost his mojo and ruined his brand. It used to be said that Joe Biden was serving Obama’s third term, that his former boss was controlling him from the home he had bought in DC’s ritzy Kalorama neighborhood, two miles from the White House. The feeling was that Obama was the real leader of the Democratic Party and his wife Michelle was the secret weapon they would whip out in 2024 to replace Biden and trounce Donald Trump. Well, none of it came to pass, and judging by his irrelevant poll numbers, Obama’s star has long faded....

Among many other things, Angleton discusses counterintelligence methods, how the agency managed defectors, and compartmentalization within the CIA. "Since World War II, the British have never caught an agent where the lead didn't come from" the U.S. Pg 29 foreign intelligence services operating in America Pg 58 amassing large amounts of information about U.S. citizens Pg 62 "practically all intelligence operations have political objectives." Pg 64 Angletons said there's no question that foreign governments attempted to influence U.S. elections Pg 69

Did Obama officials force Pope Benedict’s resignation? Open letter calls for Trump investigationWe are asking for an investigation into the affairs of our own government. It is not unprecedented for a corrupt government to attempt to insert itself into the life of the Church.Shortly after the first inauguration of President Trump in 2017, an open letter was published in The Remnant Newspaper requesting an investigation into potential involvement by the Obama Administration in the affairs of the Catholic Church. Specifically, the authors asked whether the U.S. Government was involved in the sequence of events that resulted in the resignation of...

Tucker Carlson interviews Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on USAID, Trump, immigration, NATO, and the Russia-Ukraine war. TUCKER CARLSON: I remember one of your advisors telling me years ago, whispering to me at dinner that the U.S. government, the State Department, and agencies like USAID were working against you, funding your opposition indirectly, and really trying to subvert democracy in your country and thinking, boys, can that be true? It turns out now it is true. And I wonder when the rest of us are gonna get details on what exactly the State Department did to end democracy in Hungary....

🚨BREAKING: Călin Georgescu announces that on his first day as president, he will ban the entire Soros network in Romania "We have ways to do this. We know who they are, it's very clear."

And you thought that USAID was all about distributing rice, beans, and medicine, didn't you? Well, not quite. There's also fomenting "color revolutions," funding Hamas, al Qaeda, ISIS, and the censorship complex. Oh, and destabilizing Romania, and...how about a coup in Bangladesh? Nothing like a good coup to brighten your day. All credit here to @TheGrayzoneNews for obtaining these internal files and their excellent detailed report here:https://t.co/lrVNlygRsf— Mike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber) February 7, 2025I don't know much about Bangladeshi politics outside the fact that Bangladeshis seem to be fond of raping young English girls, but apparently the US government wasn't so...

Responsive to NSDM-314, I submit herewith the first annual report on International Population Policy, which has been prepared by the Interagency Task Force on Population Policy. The report was approved by all Members of the Under Secretaries Committee; Treasury submitted a statement of clarification, which is attached to the report. This report develops further the general strategy set forth in NSSM-200 study (approved by NSDM-314). It underscores in particular the NSSM-200 recommendation that the President and the Secretary of State, as well as our Ambassadors and others, treat the subject of population growth as a matter of paramount importance and...

🇺🇸🇧🇷USAID RIGGED BRAZIL’S ELECTIONS AND CALLED IT “AID” USAID didn’t just send aid to Brazil—it funded censorship, backed left-wing activists, and helped rig the 2022 election against Bolsonaro. Ex-State Department official Mike Benz exposed how the agency ran a “holy war on censorship,” targeting Bolsonaro supporters and suppressing their content online. Millions flowed to NGOs pushing leftist narratives, including the Felipe Neto Institute, which received U.S. funding while Bolsonaro allies were deplatformed. USAID also bankrolled Amazon-based activist groups, financed media campaigns designed to manipulate public opinion, and funneled money into Brazilian organizations that pushed for stricter internet regulations. This wasn’t...

Mike Benz on how USAID spent tens of millions of dollars of US taxpayer funds to remove Jair Bolsonaro from power and end free speech in Brazil: “When populist waves swept the world within the U. S. in 2016 with Trump and with what happened all over Europe with Marine Le Pen and Matteo Salvini and Nigel Farage, USAID declared censorship holy war against every single populist group, including Bolsonaro. Steve, I’m telling you right now, if USAID did not exist, Bolsonaro would still be the president of Brazil and Brazil would still have a free and open internet. It...

In his last interview as President, Joe Biden claimed that Israel could not sustain itself without a commitment to a Palestinian state.

Starmer started the political meddling over in the states. Now he's on the run, with Elon Musk crunching into the seat of his pants. Not too long ago, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a radical Labour leftist, stood by a number of fellow Labour Party members spewing out statements that President Trump was a "racist" and a "fascist" and "KKK member" who must be "stopped at all costs." That was before the election. That wasn't the half of it, though. Starmer's Labour Party put its money where Starmer's mouth was, dispatching 100 Labour Party political operatives like flying monkeys to...

US intelligence assessments before Israel escalated its conflict against the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group in September said that such a move risked sparking an all-out war in which hundreds — if not thousands — of Israelis would be killed, three US officials and one Israeli official told The Times of Israel... ...the US officials said, acknowledging that both countries’ assessments proved wildly inaccurate within days, as the IDF methodically took out much of Hezbollah’s missile and drone capabilities, dismantled its military infrastructure in southern Lebanon, picked off almost every member of its senior leadership and killed or wounded thousands of...

The Washington Post's left-leaning editorial board published a scathing article about Pennsylvania Democrats who voted to count invalid ballots during the Senate race recount between Bob Casey (D-PA) and his Republican challenger, Dave McCormick. Titled “Democrats thumb their nose at the rule of law in Pennsylvania,” accused Casey and his Democrat allies of scheming the election integrity laws to count invalid provisional ballots that favored Casey. The mere attempt to defy judicial rulings is corrosive to democracy and invites similar behavior in future elections. Democrats would surely protest if a Republican commissioner made the same statement to justify tipping the...

Two British music producers have flown to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris, describing Donald Trump’s allyship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin as “terrifying” for the UK. Dan Glatman and Jon Cohen landed on Thursday in Pennsylvania, a battleground swing state, joining an army of volunteers knocking on doors and engaging with voters ahead of polling day on Tuesday. The London-born pair have no vote or stake in the US election, but 52-year-old Mr Cohen told the PA news agency it was becoming impossible to overlook when the “stakes are so high”. Mr Cohen, whose producing credits include Joss...

The European Green Party on Friday called for Jill Stein, the 2024 presidential candidate of the U.S. Green Party, to withdraw from the race...writing that the election is “too close for comfort.” “On 5 November 2024, the world will be watching to see whether Americans choose Kamala Harris or Donald Trump to be their next president,” the European party, also known as the European Greens, wrote. “Ahead of these pivotal elections, European Greens have called upon US Green Party candidate Jill Stein to withdraw her Presidential candidacy, and endorse Kamala Harris.” Harris is the only candidate who can block former...

In Ohio, US Attorney Rebecca Lutzko, a Biden nominee opposed by Republicans, announced the appointment of two federal prosecutors to serve as “election officers”. In Utah, US Attorney Trina A. Higgins, a Democrat donor and Biden appointee, appointed a “district election officer” to stop any “interference or discrimination in voting” and “threats” against election officials. Events in Ohio and Utah are part of a larger unprecedented level of Justice Department intervention in the 2024 presidential election in support of the administration’s party. The DOJ recently sued Virginia and Alabama to ensure that non-citizens would not be removed from voting rolls...

Hamas’s slain leader and October 7 massacre mastermind Yahya Sinwar reportedly urged his negotiators to reject a hostage deal, pointing to the Biden-Harris administration’s increasing pressure on Israel over Gaza as strengthening his terror group’s position while undermining the Jewish state’s. In a pivotal moment during negotiations this year, Sinwar instructed his team to reject a hostage deal, believing that growing pressure from the Biden-Harris administration to reduce Gaza’s humanitarian crisis would work in Hamas’ favor, according to a recent Wall Street Journal report. As mediators worked to accelerate ceasefire negotiations, the Hamas head reportedly urged the organization’s political leaders...

Sir Keir Starmer is unlikely to meet Kamala Harris before the US presidential election in 12 days' time, Downing Street has indicated. The prime minister met Republican nominee Donald Trump in New York last month, and suggested he wanted to do the same with Democrat Harris. But Sir Keir is now in Samoa for a Commonwealth leaders' summit, as the US campaign enters its final stage before the poll on 5 November. In recent days, there have been tensions between the Labour Party and the Trump campaign over Labour staffers who volunteered to campaign for Harris. The Trump team have...
