An Afghan man arrested on charges of planning a terrorist attack on Election Day worked as a security guard in Afghanistan for the CIA, two sources with knowledge of the matter told NBC News. Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was arrested on Monday in Oklahoma and accused of plotting to kill Americans with an assault rifle on behalf of ISIS. Court documents said he had contributed to an ISIS charity in March and accessed online ISIS propaganda, but they did not say whether he was radicalized before or after he came to the U.S. in 2021. A senior law enforcement official...

ASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has arrested an Afghan man who officials say was inspired by the Islamic State militant organization and was plotting an Election Day attack targeting large crowds in the U.S., the Justice Department said Tuesday.

When Jabee Williams opened Eastside Pizza House about two years ago in Oklahoma City, he wanted to build a place that served as a community hub on the east side of town. For two years, the pizza place accomplished exactly that, Williams said, but is now being forced to close. It all comes down to foot traffic and cash flow issues, Williams said. “We started this journey with a vision [t]o create a space for our community, a place where Eastside could gather, connect and call its own,” the Eastside Pizza House owner and operator wrote on the pizzeria’s...

'It can fairly be said that the only difference between the FBI and Russian KGB is that the KGB never claimed to be a legitimate law enforcement agency...' Last month, the Justice Department asked a judge to pause a lawsuit seeking records about the FBI’s involvement with the Oklahoma City bombing. But in doing so, the DOJ and the FBI made statements so misleading they merit sanctions, according to the plaintiff in that case, Utah attorney Jesse Trentadue. The deception spotted by Trentadue stems from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit he filed against the FBI in February, seeking records...

Campus Watch Research Originally published under the title "Georgetown University Whitewashes Islamism and Smears the West (again)." [Caption] Erdoan Shipoli (l) and John Esposito (r) of Georgetown Univ. use their positions to whitewash Islamism and attack Western civilization. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was former President George W. Bush's "teacher at Yale," stated Erdoan A. Shipoli at an April 27 Georgetown University webinar. While Rice was indeed a child prodigy on the piano, her intellectual prowess was not quite so grand as to land her an Ivy League teaching position as an adolescent. Born in 1954, she was only...

President Joe Biden's nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) may have falsely claimed that cult members at Waco shot down helicopters. David Chipman has been slated to lead the agency as the Biden administration looks at ways to implement more restrictions on access to firearms. Chipman was an ATF agent for 25 years and is currently a senior policy advisor at Giffords, a lobby group seeking stricter gun laws led by former representative Gabriel Giffords. During a Reddit "Ask Me Anything (AMA)" last year, a user identifying himself as Chipman made the claim about members...

Protesters blamed for the violence that broke out in Oklahoma City the last weekend in May were charged Friday with terrorism, rioting and assault. If convicted of the felony offenses, they could be sentenced to years in prison. Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater made the decisions himself on the charges in a get-tough approach meant to deter others from going too far during protests in the future. "This is not Seattle," Prater said Friday. "We're not putting up with this lawlessness here."

THE THIRD TERRORISTNOTE: I have had many conversations with Jayna. She has the story nailed about this unbelievable coverup. The late Dave Schippers (Clinton House impeachment manager) even flew to OKC some years after her book and put under oath 12 of her witnesses. Schippers appeared in my film HILLARY! UNCENSORED, and I have had several conversations with him about OKC. He told me he could used their testimony and gotten indictments. Why did the FBI hide the truth? Witnesses who had the truth were either never called by the FBI or their testimony was hidden. The night before...

MY COMMENTS: This is a great video presentation. Bill Clinton and the Deep State hid what really happened in OKC, just as he did with the shoot down of TWA Flight 800 four months before the 1996 election. In OKC, Clinton deviously but brilliantly used the bombing to create hate against Rush Limbaugh, Jerry Falwell, and "that damned video" --- THE CLINTON CHRONICLES. Clinton drew the line in the sand for his followers that, no matter what he did, they had to back him to stop the dreaded right wing. Dave Schippers, who handled the House Managers in the Clinton...

"On October 23, the Oklahoma City Public Schools Board of Education voted to move forward with changing the names of three elementary schools originally dedicated to Confederate leaders: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Isaac Stand Watie. As the district begins the input process to determine the names these facilities will bear moving forward, I hope to use it as a teachable moment for our students and to establish a positive image and a sense of pride for these school communities to carry them into the future," Superintendent Aurora Lora said in a statement.

Varnell thought he was dealing with two fellow sympathizers in the anti-government movement but they were a confidential informant and...

For years, Oklahoma lead the nation in prescription painkiller abuse according to SAMHSA. Oklahoma and the nation set out to do something but it was almost totally "supply-side", regulatory and law enforcement oriented to reduce the supply of opioid tablets on the street. These measures were much needed but they did nothing to help the estimated 245,000 prescription painkiller abusers in Oklahoma, nor prevent new entries into the problem, "demand-side". Demand-side interventions are treatment and prevention initiatives. Why are demand-side interventions important? Addiction to opiates is the most powerful addiction. If you shut off supply dramatically, without demand interventions, you...
