The trial of American music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is accused of running a sprawling sex trafficking operation, is almost over. The 12 jurors at a federal court in New York have announced they have come to a decision on four of the five counts faced by Mr Combs, although these decisions have not been disclosed. But the jurors are unable to decide on the racketeering charge, the most serious of the five, which carries a possible life prison term. Mr Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty and denied all allegations against him. So what is the racketeering charge,...

A covert ring of journalists and fact-checkers—tasked with discrediting and burying the Pizzagate story—has been exposed. But they weren’t just protecting the pedophile elite. They were part of it. This wasn’t just media manipulation. It was complicity. And as the arrests begin, the world is finally seeing the truth: the very people who called it a “conspiracy theory” were committing the crimes all along. Pizzagate was never a theory. It was a cover-up. And now, their cover is blown justice is coming down like a hammer. Before we dive in, a quick word about our partner VP.net—the next generation of...

New Canadian Prime Minister-designate Mark Carney is a creation of the establishment swamp with extensive ties to the Democratic Party in the US, which he’s going to great lengths to bury, The Post can reveal. In particular, Carney is linked to John Podesta – appointed the controversial custodian of a $375 billion Democrat slush fund by ex-president Joe Biden – who has helped prop up the Canada’s ruling Liberal Party. The link between Podesta and Carney — the new Liberal Party leader who has controversially been pictured alongside Jeffrey Epstein madame Ghislaine Maxwell — comes via Gerald Butts, a former...

Donald Trump might be receiving a lot of attention for being an anti-globalist force, and rightly so. He is the biggest whale in that ocean, but where Trump is an America-first powerhouse, Argentina's Javier Milei is an anti-globalist great white shark, chomping down on anything that resembles globalist control. Milei traveled to Davos in Switzerland as many global leaders did in order to deliver his address on the world stage, and as expected, when he got there, he didn't just let the globalists have it, he called them out for their evils. He even went so far as to challenge...

A Salisbury man infamously known for a shooting at a Washington, D.C. pizza restaurant was identified as the man who was shot and killed by officers during a traffic stop earlier this month in Kannapolis. A Kannapolis Police officer patrolled North Cannon Boulevard around 10 p.m. on Jan. 4 when he recognized a GMC Yukon normally driven by someone he knew had an outstanding warrant for their arrest. The officer pulled over the Yukon and while talking to the driver, recognized the passenger in the front seat as Edgar Maddison Welch, 36, who had an outstanding warrant for felony probation...

Elon Musk has ignited a firestorm by highlighting the decades-long scandal involving mainly Pakistani Muslim gangs who groomed and sexually assaulted thousands of British girls. It has been a long-running scandal involving some of the worst organized sexual abuse you have ever heard of, not the least of which because the authorities knew about it, covered it up, and, when it came to light, downplayed its significance because they did not want to stir up racial and religious tensions. ... Police let abusers hand over children in exchange for walking free. They told parents they couldn't act because of "racial...

Hollywood actor Daniel Baldwin claimed major injury elites are engaging in “bidding wars” for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ blackmail sex tapes filmed from his infamous freak-off parties. During a recent PBD podcast appearance, Baldwin said that Diddy has “videos of the parties… I’ve heard from friends that are attorneys… there’s a bidding war going on right now.” Baldwin continued: “They’re driving that price up because if you want your client and your famous actor to not be involved, a famous singer to not come out, here’s the price, and that they’re just selling to the individuals that are in those.” “This...

Clarissa Rippee, a Contract Specialist working in the General Services Administration (GSA) blew the whistle and exposed a $347 million contract for transporting unaccompanied minors. “My line in the sand moment was when I found out that GSA had awarded a contract to a company to transport unaccompanied minors,” shared current General Services Administration (GSA) Contract Specialist Clarissa Rippee, revealing shocking details about a $347 million contract awarded to the company responsible for transporting unaccompanied minors across the United States. “It felt like someone kicked me in the gut,” Rippee told James O’Keefe. Via O’Keefe Media Group: Rippee, who works...

What seemed like a fanciful conspiracy has been revealed as a sickening fact. While most people agree that human trafficking is an evil that should be fought, America’s ruling elite are abetting the abuse of unaccompanied alien children. Since the Biden family moved into the White House, more than 8 million illegal aliens have crossed into the United States from Mexico. Most of these are military-aged men, yet a sizable number are unaccompanied children. Nearly 520,000 unaccompanied children have shown up on America’s doorstep in the past 44 months, about 400 kids per day. What happens to these children? And...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned of an October surprise that will “distort and pervert” Vice President Harris. “There will be concerted efforts to distort and pervert Kamala Harris, who she is, what she stands for, what she’s done,” Clinton said during an interview with “Firing Line” host Margaret Hoover. She pointed to the 2016 “pizzagate” conspiracy theory that surrounded the end of her presidential campaign against Donald Trump. “I mean, look, I mean, the crazy story about me running a child trafficking operation out of a basement of a pizzeria,” Clinton said. The comment evoked laughter from the...

In a normal political environment, there would be little need to pay attention to a new book by the far-right provocateur Jack Posobiec, who is probably best known for promoting the conspiracy theory that Democrats ran a satanic child abuse ring beneath a popular Washington pizzeria. But “Unhumans,” an anti-democratic screed that Posobiec co-wrote with the professional ghostwriter Joshua Lisec, comes with endorsements from some of the most influential people in Republican politics, including, most significantly, vice-presidential candidate JD Vance. The word “fascist” gets thrown around a lot in politics, but it’s hard to find a more apt one for...

The Department of Homeland Security has refused to follow a law mandating it take DNA samples from illegal immigrants taken into custody, which would identify violent criminals and child traffickers, employees told the U.S. Senate this week. Speaking to senators on Tuesday, three former officials presented evidence that DHS and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had blocked their efforts to comply with a 2005 law, then retaliated against them when they sounded the alarm about the lawbreaking. “Given the enormous potential of DNA collection to facility solving crimes, we took our job seriously,” Fred Wynn said. Law enforcement experts...

Anything like the Laura Sylsby story is a candidate for being scrubbed off the internet sooner or later and I want at least the one versionof the story I'm still finding to be around as close to forever as possible. The article notes: Laura Silsby convicted in Haiti, but free to go JONATHAN M. KATZ, Associated Press Writer May 17, 2010 Comments  ......U.S. missionary Laura Silsby, left, leaves a courthouse in Port-au-Prince, Monday, May 17, 2010. Silsby, the last of 10 Americans detained while trying to take 33 children out of Haiti following the Jan. 12 earthquake, was released...

The newest person named to the Biden administration has devised and implemented radical left-wing policies at the highest levels of government, including attempts to revolutionize the teachings of an entire Christian denomination, critics say. President Joe Biden announced Monday that he would replace Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry with John Podesta. The longtime Democratic fixture served as chief of staff to Bill Clinton, adviser to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, and president of the influential left-wing think tank Center for American Progress (CAP). Podesta, who acted as a “fixer” inside the troubled Clinton White House, promotes...

To get a sense of why conspiracy theories centered on sex trafficking and pedophilia — and now the “Epstein list” — are so buzzy in MAGA circles, POLITICO Magazine called up Mike Rothschild, author of The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything and Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories. Rothschild pointed to a toxic stew of age-old antisemitism; the worst incentives of today’s social media; and the right’s unending obsession with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump pops up in the documents, including some released on...

With news that Bill Clinton has been identified as a client of Epstein by one of his trafficking victims, I wanted to check out the old Pizzagate stories. They're all gone? Pizzagate, James Alefantis, Comet Pizza, all of it. Even web archive hits link to comments on news story threads that no longer exist. Did FreeRepublic have to settle a lawsuit? Were the stories pre-emptively removed? I don't mean to force FR to eat any crow, but if the gist of these stories has been found in some official capacity to be libelous or slanderous, I'd like to know so...

Alex Jones breaks down how billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring was just the tip of the iceberg compared to the sex trafficking operation facilitated by Joe Biden’s open border policies.

In a shocking revelation, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez's letter outlines the distressing findings of an undercover investigation into Meta's platforms. The investigation involved the creation of decoy accounts representing children aged 14 and younger, uncovering disturbing trends: Meta's platforms proactively directed sexually explicit content to underage users, even when the child showed no interest in such material. The platforms enabled adults to easily find, contact, and coerce children into providing explicit images or participating in pornographic videos. The investigation revealed that Meta's platforms recommended children to join unmoderated Facebook groups facilitating commercial sex and allowed the sharing and...

The Secret Service said it was investigating how an intruder was able to enter the home of President Biden’s national security adviser last month even though a full security detail was posted outside.
