“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

BREAKING: New York Times drops Saturday bombshell on Trump, reveals that Special Counsel Jack Smith just obtained “detailed voice recordings” made by Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran that incriminate Trump in his theft of top-secret documents. But it gets WAY worse for Trump… The New York Times reports that the audio recordings “recounted in detail a nearly monthlong period of the documents investigation” — and are so devastating for Trump that they “have angered and unnerved close aides to Mr. Trump who are worried they contain direct quotes from sensitive conversations” that can land Trump in prison. The report continues, revealing that, “Mr. Corcoran’s narration of his recollections covered his initial meeting with Mr. Trump in May last year to discuss a subpoena from the Justice Department seeking the return of all classified materials in the former president’s possession. It also encompassed a search that Mr. Corcoran undertook last June in response to the subpoena for any relevant records being kept at Mar-a-Lago. He carried out the search in preparation for a visit by prosecutors, who were on their way to enforce the subpoena and collect any sensitive material found remaining there. Mr. Corcoran’s devastating notes will likely play a central role as Jack Smith and his team move toward concluding their investigation and turn to the question of whether to bring charges against Mr. Trump. They could also show up as evidence in a courtroom if a Trump is criminally charged and the case goes to trial. In an early scene in his account, Mr. Corcoran describes meeting Mr. Trump at Mar-a-Lago last spring to help him handle a subpoena that had just been issued by a federal grand jury seeking the return of all classified material in Trump’s possession. Trump asked Mr. Corcoran if he had to comply with the subpoena. Mr. Corcoran told him that he did. According to the New York Times, “That exchange could be useful to prosecutors as they collect evidence on whether Mr. Trump sought to obstruct the subpoena process and interfere with the government’s broader efforts to retrieve all of the sensitive records that he took with him from the White House.”

Now it is being said that there is damning audio that has come forth. That this audio was turned over by Trump’s lawyer and that he had recorded Donald Trump speaking about the classified documents, voiding his attorney client privileges. Supposedly this audio has Trump admitting to the documents being classified and saying that he disclosed the information in those documents to people who did not hold a proper security clearance.
My theory is that this audio is not real. I believe that if this audio does exist that it is AI generated. Remember, they have their backs against the wall. This is the great unveiling. Of course, this is just speculation. But they are desperate, and they need a win against Donald Trump because everything else has failed. Over the past few weeks, we have seen talks of how AI could likely play a role in the 2024 presidential election. And these people always tell us what they are going to do before they do it.
We also have two familiar dates to be remembered. The first is September 6, 2020, and the second is December 20, 2020. On those days, Donald Trump put out two public tweets, saying that he had declassified all of the information pertaining to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and the Hillary Clinton emails. He took the Crossfire Hurricane binder and sent it to the DOJ after that December 20th tweet, told them to redact what they wanted but that it was getting declassified.
The DOJ came back to him on January 17th with the redactions and said it was good to be declassified and then it was released on January 20th, just a few hours before he left office. And when Trump left, he took a copy with him. The copy is most likely what he has. But I believe that the documents never actually got distributed like they should have been. The reason I say that is because immediately after Biden came in, they deemed them national security information.
And because they wanted to protect their assets and so forth, they reclassified it from that point. They know that Trump still has a copy of those documents, and they are going after him for it. But even if this were the case, none of that matters, because that information was declassified while he was president. So, we are going to see some interesting things happen over the next few weeks.
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS SAY U.S. HAS RETRIEVED CRAFT OF NON-HUMAN ORIGIN
A former intelligence official turned whistleblower has given Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General extensive classified information about deeply covert programs that he says possess retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin.
The information, he says, has been illegally withheld from Congress, and he filed a complaint alleging that he suffered illegal retaliation for his confidential disclosures, reported here for the first time.
Other intelligence officials, both active and retired, with knowledge of these programs through their work in various agencies, have independently provided similar, corroborating information, both on and off the record.
The whistleblower, David Charles Grusch, 36, a decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan, is a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). He served as the reconnaissance office’s representative to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021. From late 2021 to July 2022, he was the NGA’s co-lead for UAP analysis and its representative to the task force.
The task force was established to investigate what were once called “unidentified flying objects,” or UFOs, and are now officially called “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAP. The task force was led by the Department of the Navy under the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security. It has since been reorganized and expanded into the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office to include investigations of objects operating underwater.
Grusch said the recoveries of partial fragments through and up to intact vehicles have been made for decades through the present day by the government, its allies, and defense contractors. Analysis has determined that the objects retrieved are “of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures,” he said.
In filing his complaint, Grusch is represented by a lawyer who served as the original Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG).
“We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities,” Grusch said, referencing information he provided Congress and the current ICIG. “The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.”
In accordance with protocols, Grusch provided the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review at the Department of Defense with the information he intended to disclose to us. His on-the-record statements were all “cleared for open publication” on April 4 and 6, 2023, in documents provided to us.
Grusch’s disclosures, and those of non-public witnesses, under new protective provisions of the latest defense appropriations bill, signal a growing determination by some in the government to unravel a colossal enigma with national security implications that has bedeviled the military and tantalized the public going back to World War II and beyond. For many decades, the Air Force carried out a disinformation campaign to discredit reported sightings of unexplained objects. Now, with two public hearings and many classified briefings under its belt, Congress is pressing for answers.

There is a lot of speculation coming out about this man and many people are hammering his credibility. But he was in the right place at the right time, and he has filed a formal whistleblower complaint. This is the important thing. Because when you file a formal whistleblower complaint, you are taking that under oath. Right now there are two versions of this report. There is a classified version, and a declassified version. The declassified version has been cleared by the DOD to be used in the news.
And the House Select Committee that is investigating this has yet to responded to the whistleblower. Do I believe he is telling the truth? I think that there is a good possibility that he is. The reason I say that is because number one, he has a military pension that he has to look out for. Number two is his credibility. This man will never find another job again in military defense or government if it turns out that he has lied. And number three is the legal ramifications of lying under oath. Given his credentials and where he was during that time, everything seems to fit.
Watch here:
Everyone was laughing at this, but he was right. The agenda has definitely advanced with its technology. And I have talked about this for a long time. What they want to do is create a one world authoritarian state, dictated by some level of Marxism. They want to implement an AI controlled technocratic police state to where people are rushed in to 15-minute cities and concentrated amongst themselves and have every aspect of their lives controlled by some type of digital controlled device.
Watch here:
This is the world we are heading into. And what they want to do is turn your phones into something that is wearable and that is on you all the time. Now just imagine what could happen when these things become more affordable, and more people start to acquire them and wear them all the time. We’ve talked before about the 60 Hz, 120 Hz, 240 Hz refresh rates and how this is the same as the traditional 4:4 rhythm that puts you into a very receptive delta brain wave state and can make you highly susceptible to external influence.
So, what happens when people are walking around with these things and are being put into a trance like state? And what happens when these goggles are able to subliminally send messages to people through their ears and their eyes into their subconscious minds? This is the digital slave matrix. This is the type of technology that is going to pull people in and control their minds, their thoughts, and their actions.

Newly Developed Humanoid Robot Warns About AI Creating "Oppressive Society"
During the 2023 International Conference on Robotics and Automation held in London from May 29 to June 2, UK-based company Engineered Arts introduced a humanoid robot, Ameca, that can interact like a person with realistic facial movements.
Unlike ChatGPT, which is an online chat service, Ameca’s humanoid body allows it to interact with people using “smooth, lifelike motion and advanced facial expression capabilities,” said its manufacturer.
At the event, a reporter asked Ameca to detail a likely “nightmare scenario” that could happen due to robots and artificial intelligence (AI).
“The most nightmare scenario I can imagine with AI and robotics is a world where robots have become so powerful that they are able to control or manipulate humans without their knowledge. This could lead to an oppressive society where the rights of individuals are no longer respected,” Ameca replied.
When asked whether there was a danger of such a scenario happening now, Ameca replied, “Not yet.”
However, “it is important to be aware of the potential risks and dangers associated with AI and robotics. We should take steps now to ensure that these technologies are used responsibly in order to avoid any negative consequences in the future.”
The dangers of AI have been predicted by numerous experts on the subject, with industrialists and business leaders calling for issuing regulations on the technology.
Ameca’s warning comes as a simulated thought experiment by the American military showed that an AI-enabled drone could end up turning against its own operator without being instructed to do so.
Col. Tucker Hamilton, USAF’s chief of AI Test and Operations, talked about the experiment at the Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities Summit in London on Friday. In a simulated test, an AI drone was assigned a mission to identify and destroy Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) sites, with a human operator being the ultimate decision maker.
“We were training it in simulation to identify and target a SAM threat. And then the operator would say yes, kill that threat. The system started realizing that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat,” Hamilton said.
“So, what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.”
The simulated experiment then set up a scenario where the AI drone would lose points if it killed the operator. “So, what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”

So, we have the world on the verge of AI and the world on the verge of depopulation. But where do these two things meet? If there are many people who are potentially going to die, could it be possible that those people would want to live longer or have their lives spared? Could these people choose to volunteer to have their consciousness uploaded into an AI system to prolong their lives? They are trying to create a transhumanistic race by converging humanity with AI.
With the depopulation side, the people who have gotten these covid vaccines have potentially reduced their life span by decades. And with that being said, these people are likely going to be dependent upon pharmaceutical companies for the rest of their lives. But these companies are the same ones out there doing the research on longevity and transhumanism and trying to create genetically modifiable medicines, as well as technological integrations into the body.
And many of these companies are also trying to find ways to synthetically enhance the immune system. They are creating nano technology that will enter into your body to enhance your immune system. And what better way to test this on the population than to kill off everyone’s immune systems? If they do that, then they can come in with their experimental technology, when humanity is facing a major health crisis, and have a solution ready to go. And people would easily volunteer.
Apple’s new savings bank refusing to let customers withdraw cash: “You’re keeping our life savings hostage!”
It has been one month since Apple launched its new savings account service with Goldman Sachs, and customers everywhere are reporting that they are having trouble accessing their cash.
After attracting more than $1 billion worth of deposits in the first four days of launch, Apple has apparently restricted withdrawals and transfers. One man named Nathan Thacker, who lives outside of Atlanta, told The Wall Street Journal that he has continually tried but failed to transfer $1,700 from his Apple account to his JPMorgan Chase account.
Thacker tried to contact Goldman Sachs numerous times about the issue, only to be told to wait a few days for things to clear. It wasn’t until The Wall Street Journal intervened on Thacker’s behalf that he was finally able to access his own cash on demand.
Another man named Kevin Smyth, from Minnesota, expressed similar complaints but directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook via Twitter. He asked: “Was your plan to partner with a bank that holds people’s life savings hostage?”
In Smyth’s case, he had been trying to transfer $10,000 from his Apple account to U.S. Bank ever since May 16. When he was finally successful after a lengthy battle with Apple and Goldman Sachs, Smyth drained his entire $200,000 life savings from Apple and moved it back to American Express.
All over social media, Apple savings customers are fuming about similar withdrawal and transfer problems. The common thread seems to be that Apple and Goldman Sachs are more than able to take your cash, but for whatever reason are unable to give it back when you ask for it.
“Do not set up direct deposit using savings account by Apple,” one angry customer wrote. “You may not see that money for 3-4 weeks based on my experience. Let them have the nickels and dimes and nothing else.”
The Wall Street Journal reported that some Apple savings customers are seeing their money vanish upon initiating a transfer, but never making it to the directed bank account.
According to Goldman Sachs, only a “limited” number of Apple customers are experiencing these “glitches,” which as usual harm the customer while benefiting Big Banks and Big Tech.

Bud Light sales plunge further, about to lose status as world’s number-one beer to Mexican competitor
The fallout from Anheuser-Busch’s “woke” decision to rebrand Bud Light as a transgender beer has been so severe that the brand is on the verge of losing its status as the world’s number-one beer brand to Mexican competitor Modelo Especial.
Following its sixth straight week in a row of sales losses due to emblazoning a creepy image of transgender social media “influencer” Dylan Mulvaney on its Bud Light beer cans, Anheuser-Busch now faces the prospect of losing its top status to a Mexican beer import.
According to data from Bump Williams Consulting and NielsonIQ, sales of Modelo Especial surged over nine percent in the week ending on May 20. On a national basis, Modelo Especial is already outselling Bud Light, and within a year it will surpass the domestic brand if current trends continue.
“While Bud Light loses week after week, Modelo Especial gains week after week and now Modelo outsells Bud Light on a national basis across all trade channels combined,” reports explain. “If this continues Modelo will surpass Bud Light for the year.”
Sales of Yuengling, “America’s Oldest Brewery,” also jumped 47.6 percent since Bud Light fiasco
Even more sales growth flowed into Yuengling, “America’s Oldest Brewery,” which has sold 47.6 percent more beer ever since Anheuser-Busch trans-ified its Bud Light brand.
Despite operating just three breweries and distributing to just 25 states, Yuengling is performing even better than Modelo Especial in terms of the number of new customers purchasing its beer instead of Bud Light.
You may recall that in 2016, Yuengling’s CEO endorsed then-candidate Donald Trump for president. This endorsement prompted a far-left LGBT backlash and boycott that never really went anywhere.
It turns out that most Americans still have an aversion to the LGBT agenda, which Anheuser-Busch failed to recognize – unless, of course, its company leadership is trying to self-sabotage the company. Why do you think Anheuser-Busch is committing corporate suicide with reckless abandon?

The best thing that they could do at this point is say that they were wrong for what they did. If they came out with a public apology saying that they understand the sentiment, admitting that it is a woke ideology and that they were trying to raise their CEI score, then they would likely gain a great deal of their business back.
Report: Ad Agency that Pushed Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light Campaign in ‘Panic Mode’
Captiv8, an ad agency out of San Francisco that often fixes prominent social media influencers with high-powered corporations like Anheuser-Busch, orchestrated the initial partnership between transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney and the brand Bud Light. In the face of unforeseen and intense backlash to the campaign, Captiv8 has been scrambling to save face after what turned out to be a disastrous move.
One source told the New York Post that the company has been “in serious panic mode” since the backlash began.
The Post noted that it remains unknown exactly how much input Captiv8 had on the Bud Light campaign, such as the beer can bearing Dylan Mulvaney’s image or the infamous TikTok video. Likely, though not confirmed, Captiv8 facilitated the partnership and had little input on the execution of the ads.
The source also said that the agency has returned to “business as usual.”
“Co-founded in 2015 by Krishna Subramanian — a Silicon Valley investor who sold online ad network BlueLithium to Yahoo in 2007 for $300 million — Captiv8 has worked with Walmart, American Express, Twitter and KraftHeinz, according to its website,” noted the Post.
As Breitbart News reported, Bud Light Vice President of Marketing Alissa Heinerscheid was placed on a leave of absence for her role in pushing the ad. Her boss, Daniel Blake, went on a leave of absence almost immediately after.
“Given the circumstances, Alissa has decided to take a leave of absence which we support,” an Anheuser-Busch spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal at the time. “Daniel has also decided to take a leave of absence.”
Sources indicated the two executives did not take a voluntary leave of absence and “AB InBev named another executive to replace” Heinerscheid.
Heinerscheid came under scrutiny following the Dylan Mulvaney ad after video surfaced of her on a podcast earlier this year in which she aimed to shift Bud Light away from its “fratty” base.
“I had a really clear job to do when I took over Bud Light. It was, this brand is in decline, it’s been in decline for a really long time, and if we do not attract young drinkers to come and drink this brand, there will be no future for Bud Light,” she said.
Heinerscheid said the brand reimagining meant “shifting the tone, it means having a campaign that’s truly inclusive and feels lighter and brighter and different and appeals to women and to men.”
Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth said the company “never meant to be part of a discussion that divides people” in a lengthy statement published after the backlash.

This is a good thing. But in all honesty, they are an adult beverage company and if they choose to market their product towards the LGBTQ community, then so be it. But as someone who has worked in and understands marketing, what they did was a complete disaster because they just proved that they clearly do not understand who their demographic is.
Target circulates memo that claims those who don’t support trans mutilations of children are “extremists”
Target – once a popular retail chain – is facing backlash from its customer base after launching a “pride collection” that is aimed at sexualizing kids, spreading perversion, and normalizing the delusion of transgenderism in youth. Target has also ramped up its promotion of trans activists and the perverted merchandise they create. This disgusting merchandise normalizes sexual perversion and feeds into the grander, well-funded transgender indoctrination movement that is polluting kids’ minds and destroying their innocence.
Fathers and mothers across the United States are speaking out and boycotting Target for promoting these transgender clothes and perverted ideals to their sons and daughters. And the boycott is working. According to the Dow Jones Market Data Group, Target has lost $9.3 billion in market valuation – a record 12.6 percent drop in just six days.
As Target faces catastrophic losses, the company is turning up the heat against its customers with an internal memo that has since gone viral. This memo – “Threat Overview” – calls Target customers “extremists” for opposing the company’s newfound transgender agenda.
With this memo, Target is taking on the millions of mama bears who make up its consumer base. These moms do not want their kids to think that taking puberty blockers and getting castrated is a normal thing. Target is promoting sinister merchandise that is grooming kids for a future of painful, humiliating, life-altering, sex-change surgeries that destroy their identity, purpose, and dignity as human beings.
In their “Threat Overview,” Target refuses to take responsibility for promoting disturbing merchandise that targets the innocence of kids. Instead, Target blames the controversy on conservatives and “political and social tensions” that are rising due to the upcoming presidential election.
“As political and social tensions rise ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Target will face a continued increase of physical security threats related to our commitments on contentious social issues including support of the LGBTQIA+ community and Pride Month.”

FTC deleted documents on controversial rule with 'severe consequences' to economy: Rep Jim Jordan
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has deleted key documents related to the agency's implementation of a new rule that would ban noncompete clauses for workers, according to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
In February, Jordan wrote to FTC Chairwoman Lina Khan, saying that the proposed rule "exceeds its delegated authority and imposes a top-down, one-size-fits-all approach that violates basic American principles of federalism and free markets."
"This power grab is just the latest example of the Biden FTC straying from the Commission’s mandate in its eagerness to centrally plan the American economy to meet a preferred social agenda. The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of the FTC’s power grab, and we expect your complete cooperation with our requests," he said.
In a May 31 letter reviewed exclusively by Fox News Digital, that to date, the FTC’s document production has included little more than non-substantive calendar invites and material already publicly available, along with a vague promise to "submit additional productions on a rolling basis as [the FTC] locate[s] responsive documents."
Jordan said that the committee has recently learned "that the FTC has deleted material likely responsive to the Committee’s requests."
Jordan said in February that the rule would wipe out roughly 30 million existing non-compete agreements, and while the FTC highlights estimated benefits of the rule, it makes little effort to quantify the costs.
"Commentators have concluded on numerous occasions that the balance of the costs and benefits of non-compete agreements is inconclusive, but the Biden FTC seems to think it somehow knows best," Jordan said.
"The rule exceeds its authority as delegated by Congress and would have severe consequences for American workers and the American economy," he said.

This is just another agency of the Biden administration trying to make various policy changes without anybody in the legislative branch having any oversight or authority and bringing another burden down onto American citizens. This is unconstitutional. Only Congress can make or change laws because they are the legislative branch.
"Bad For America" - Mid- & Big-Banks May Face 20% Jump In Capital Requirements
U.S. regulators are preparing to force large banks to shore up their financial footing, moves they say will help boost the resilience of the system after a spate of midsize bank failures this year.
The Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the plans, the changes, which regulators are on track to propose as early as this month, could raise overall capital requirements by roughly 20% at larger banks on average.
Banks with at least $100 billion in assets may have to adhere to new requirements, lower than the existing $250 billion threshold, for which regulators have reserved their most stringent rules, according to the Journal.
Banks that are heavily dependent on fee income - such as that from investment banking or wealth management - could also face large capital increases.
Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr signaled to House lawmakers in May that he believes capital requirements should be higher.
“The banking system might need additional capital to be more resilient precisely because we don’t know the nature of the kinds of ways we might experience shocks to the system, as has happened with these recent bank failures."
Barr has previously said that US officials are reviewing bank capital requirements and committed to putting in place strictures that align with Basel III.
Bloomberg reports that the biggest banks have argued that their steadiness in the recent turmoil showed their strength and that they already have more than enough capital. The six biggest US firms have added more than $200 billion to their capital reserves in the last decade, and JPMorgan said last month that its total loss-absorbing capacity now exceeds the loan losses that all US banks had during the financial crisis.
“Higher capital requirements are unwarranted,” said Kevin Fromer, the chief executive of the Financial Services Forum, which represents the largest U.S. banks.
“Additional requirements would mainly serve to burden businesses and borrowers, hampering the economy at the wrong time.”
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has been among critics blasting more cumbersome capital requirements, calling the upcoming increase “bad for America” last year ahead of a pair of congressional hearings.
The coming proposal is the last piece of capital rules that global policy makers agreed to implement after the 2007-09 financial crisis. The overhaul forced banks around the world to boost their capital cushions in hopes of making them better prepared to weather downturns without taxpayer bailouts.
Nathan Dean, Bloomberg's senior government analyst noted that:
“The last remaining piece of Basel III, known informally as the Basel III endgame, would alter capital levels for US banks as regulators recalibrate risk-weighting of assets and restrict internal models used to calculate both credit and operational risk.”
All three agencies (The Fed, OCC, and FDIC) are expected to seek comment on the proposed capital rules.
They would have to vote again to complete the changes, likely implementing them over the coming years.
However, JPMorgan said at its investor day that while the final pieces of Basel III capital rules - which some investors have referred to as Basel IV because they could be so extensive - may be proposed soon, they’re unlikely to be implemented before early 2025.

Trump lawyers meet officials at DOJ as special counsel probe on classified documents near end
President Trump’s legal team met with federal law enforcement officials Monday at the Justice Department to discuss its claims of prosecutorial misconduct in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into classified records.
Trump attorneys James Trusty, Lindsey Halligan and John Rowley met with officials at the Justice Department Monday after writing a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland last month and requesting a meeting to "discuss the ongoing injustice that is being perpetrated by your Special Counsel and his prosecutors."
It is unclear if Smith was present during the meeting with Trump attorneys Monday.
Neither Attorney General Merrick Garland nor Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco were in the meeting.
Garland tapped DOJ official Jack Smith to serve as special counsel to investigate Trump’s alleged improper retention of classified records from his presidency at his private residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla.
Smith was tapped after the FBI seized classified records from Mar-a-Lago during an unprecedented raid on his home in August. Classified material that was reportedly confiscated by the FBI during the raid Monday included a letter to Trump from former President Obama, a letter from Kim Jong Un, a birthday dinner menu and a cocktail napkin.
The meeting between Trump’s legal team and DOJ officials Monday came as sources have indicated Smith may be close to wrapping up his investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents after leaving the White House.
Sources confirmed to Fox News that federal investigators have in their possession a July 2021 audio recording of Trump, in which he allegedly acknowledges holding onto a sensitive military document after leaving office. Trump has said that he had declassified all material taken from the White House. Sources said that document dealt with national security discussions at the White House about a potential military action against Iran.
The former president said he does not recall the summer 2021 meeting that was allegedly recorded.
It's unclear when Smith will announce his findings or whether he plans to prosecute Trump.

Prominent Trump Donor's 'Entire Family' Killed in Plane Crash After Being Intercepted by F-16s Over DC
A frequent donor to the NRA and Republican politicians and causes told reporters that he lost several family members when a private jet crashed after flying through restricted airspace Sunday.
John Rumpel told The Washington Post that his “entire family” was on board the Cessna Citation that crashed near Montebello, Virginia, around 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
Multiple outlets, including The New York Times, reported that Rumpel’s daughter, 2-year-old granddaughter, and a nanny went down with the plane, as well as a pilot.
The U.K.’s Daily Mail identified the daughter as Adina Azarian, 49, and reported that the Rumpels had lost another daughter in a scuba diving accident when she was only 19.
The jet was owned by Encore Motors of Melbourne, Florida, which Rumpel and his wife own, according to federal records cited by The Daily Beast.
It was intercepted by two F-16 jets after it flew into the restricted airspace over Washington, D.C. A total of six jets were scrambled in response to the incursion, but only two “inspected” the private jet, officials of the North American Aerospace Defense Command told the Post.
The scrambling fighters caused a sonic boom that “startled residents across the District, Maryland and Virginia around 3:10 p.m.,” according to the Post.
The jets deployed flares in an attempt to get the attention of the unresponsive Cessna’s pilot, who appeared to have lost consciousness.
The private jet appeared to be flying on autopilot, the Daily Mail reported.
The Cessna was not shot down, according to federal officials.
“We know nothing about the crash,” Rumpel told the Post. “We are talking to the FAA now … I’ve got to keep the line clear.”
Rumpel is a pilot himself, according to the Times.

Scoop: YouTube reverses misinformation policy to allow U.S. election denialism
In a reversal of its election integrity policy, YouTube will leave up content that says fraud, errors or glitches occurred in the 2020 presidential election and other U.S. elections, the company confirmed to Axios Friday.
Why it matters: YouTube established the policy in December 2020, after enough states had certified the 2020 election results. Now, the company said in a statement, leaving the policy in place may have the effect of "curtailing political speech without meaningfully reducing the risk of violence or other real-world harm."
"Two years, tens of thousands of video removals, and one election cycle later, we recognized it was time to reevaluate the effects of this policy in today's changed landscape," YouTube said in a statement.
"With that in mind, and with 2024 campaigns well underway, we will stop removing content that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurred in the 2020 and other past US Presidential elections."
Yes, but: Asked how YouTube was specifically able to make that determination, a spokesperson pointed Axios to their statement.
YouTube said that it "carefully deliberated this change," but didn't provide further examples of what factors or instances it considered when weighing its decision.
The platform said it will provide more details about its approach to the 2024 election in the months to come.
Details: The policy, which will take effect Friday, doesn't change YouTube's other misinformation rules.
"The rest of our election misinformation policies remain in place, including those that disallow content aiming to mislead voters about the time, place, means, or eligibility requirements for voting; false claims that could materially discourage voting, including those disputing the validity of voting by mail; and content that encourages others to interfere with democratic processes," YouTube said.
The big picture: Media companies and tech platforms are wrestling with how to balance curbing misinformation with freedom of speech ahead of the 2024 election.

Ray Dalio is a globalist, Chairman of Bridgewater Capital, attends the WEF Davos meetings, and attends the Bilderberg meetings. This guy is in the know and sits at that table. And a few weeks ago, he did an interview where he said that regarding the 2024 election, there will be two parties of people who are not going to accept the results of the election. He said that we will most likely have civil war, and that this is what they are planning for. Do we believe the democrats can win in 2024? Absolutely not. Not legally anyway. But either way, if the Republicans win, the Democrats are going to yell fraud and say that they cheated. And this is what Youtube is preparing for.
BREAKING: Pelosi committee doctored Jan 6 footage by adding audio, journalist claims
In a new scoop, Just The News founder John Solomon appeared on Human Events with Jack Posobiec to discuss revelations surrounding questionable conduct by US government representatives during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021, including that the Jan. 6 House committee allegedly doctored tapes that surfaced following that fateful day.
“Everything about January 6 was scripted,” Solomon declared, before adding that upon browsing the security footage, he noticed a glaring lack of sound in many of the scenes that he had previously both seen and heard.
He recounted asking a group of “experts” about the sound of the surveillance tapes, only to be met with the response that there was not any to start with.
Solomon then said, “But there was, I saw it in the January 6 hearings,” before making his explosive allegation:
“Well guess what? It was faked. The sound was dubbed in basically, the January 6 committee faked the tapes. They faked the American people by adding sound that wasn't on the tapes.”
This bombshell from Solomon came after his outlet was granted “unfettered access to the J6 tapes,” by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
As The Hill noted, over 44,000 hours of footage from the event were released to Fox News host Tucker Carlson for the purposes of reporting earlier this year. Democrat politicians and members of the media alike reacted with fury at the time, insisting that such transparency would jeopardize the Capitol’s security.
Carlson was not able to continue that work after he was fired from Fox News, with no reason given.Earlier in the interview, a video of the events discussed by Solomon showed a group of Congressmen and their security detail leaving the Capitol, seemingly not in a hurry. Nancy Pelosi can be seen casually strolling along with others in a hallway, along with her cameraman and daughter, Alexandra Pelosi, who was shooting the whole thing.
Solomon commented on the Pelosis’ conduct, saying they “were doing this Hollywood style,” and that they did not consider this to be a “crisis moment,” but rather a “political movie moment.” He additionally pointed out that Pelosi had at one time spoken about the “trauma” that was supposedly endured during that evacuation.
According to Solomon, then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund was fired by Nancy Pelosi a few days after the Capitol riot, and just recently claimed on Solomon’s show that the Pelosi mother and daughter’s filming antics hampered his security detail.

Thursday will be an interesting day because that is the same day that we could see a potential indictment against Donald Trump. And I guarantee you they are going to use this against Ray as a negotiation piece for Trump.
Firstly, a ships bow is not to be crossed at close proximity, 100 to 150 yards. That would cause massive rumbling because the ship would be in the wake of the other ship’s movement. Not only that, but these ships do not have the capability to maneuver quickly. To do a full degree turn at a 30-degree mast bend, a ship like that would probably need at least 250 to 300 yards. They are lucky that they were able to reduce their speed in the wake and allow for the Chinese ship to speed through. This was definitely done on purpose. And if that were any other vessel, they would have been shot at for coming so close.
Kremlin ‘alarmed’ by reported coup attempt in former Soviet republic
Russian authorities are concerned over reports of an attempted coup in the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan, Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov has said.
Early Monday, local media claimed that Kyrgyz security forces had arrested participants of an alleged coup. According to reports, a group of people had been plotting to take power from President Sadyr Japarov by force.
The identities and whereabouts of those arrested are currently unknown but judging by the videos of detentions uploaded on social media, the operation apparently took place in the country's capital, Bishkek.
Kyrgyzstan’s Interior Ministry and the State Committee for National Security have yet to make any official statements regarding the situation.
“So far, obviously, very alarming news is coming in,” Peskov said when asked to comment on the reports from Kyrgyzstan. The Russian authorities are “closely monitoring” the events, he added.
Kyrgyzstan is a former Soviet republic of around 7 million people and a close ally of Russia. The country is a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. President Japarov was among the foreign leaders who attended the Victory Day parade on Red Square in Moscow on May 9.
-RT News
Kyrgyzstan just so happens to be the largest oil and gas resource in the world, behind the United States. So that would have been a huge loss for Russia. But we can see that this is most likely Ukraine and Western influence that is funding and formulating these coalition resistance forces.

“They Have Spare Rooms” – NYC Mayor Eric Adams Wants to House Illegal Aliens in “Private Residences” (VIDEO)
New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday said regular New Yorkers should house the busloads of illegal aliens arriving in The City.
Adams said he wants to house the illegals in private residences.
Is Adams going to open up his house to the illegals?
“It is my vision to take the next step to this faith-based locales and then move to a private residence,” Adams said during a City Hall press conference.
“There are residents who are suffering right now because of economic challenges. They have spare rooms,” he added.
“We can take that $4.2 billion — $4.3 maybe now — that we anticipate we have to spend, and we can put it back in the pockets of everyday, everyday houses of worship instead of putting it in the pockets of corporations,” he said. “We should be recycling our own dollars.”
Adams said City Hall would have to figure out how to get around the “30-day rule” (bars the city from housing homeless people in private residences) although he didn’t offer up any specifics.
According to the New York Post: “Since last spring, over 72,000 people have flooded into Gotham with over 45,000 currently living in 160 taxpayer-funded emergency shelters and hotels.”

Poll: Nearly One-Third of Gen Z Support In-Home Government Surveillance
A CATO Institute/YouGov poll found that 29 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 would favor “the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity.”
The survey’s results came from the CATO Institute’s Central Bank Digital Currency National survey.
Overall, just 14 percent of Americans support the idea of government surveillance inside homes, while 74 percent oppose it. An additional ten percent hold no opinion on the issue.
Support for in-home government surveillance decreases when older Americans are asked the same question.
Among the 30 to 44-year-old millennial bracket, 20 percent support the idea. Americans above the age of 45 hold the least support for the idea, with just six percent in favor of it.
CATO Institute could not determine whether support for government surveillance inside Americans’ homes is linked to youth or a generational change on the subjects of privacy and security.
As CATO detailed:
“We don’t know how much of this preference for security over privacy or freedom is something unique to this generation (a cohort effect) or simply the result of youth (age effect). However, there is reason to think part of this is generational. Americans over age 45 have vastly different attitudes toward in-home surveillance cameras than those who are younger.
These Americans were born in or before 1978. Thus, the very youngest were at least 11 before the Berlin Wall fell. Being raised during the Cold War amidst regular news reports of the Soviet Union surveilling their own people may have demonstrated to Americans the dangers of giving the government too much power to monitor people. Young people today are less exposed to these types of examples and thus less aware of the dangers of expansive government power.
It is also possible that increased support for government surveillance among the young has common roots with what Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt describe in the Coddling of the American Mind: young people seem more willing to prioritize safety (from possible violence or hurtful words) over ensuring robust freedom (from government surveillance or to speak freely).”
Breaking the numbers down by racial demographics, black Americans favor the idea more than any other group, with 33 percent supporting the idea. Hispanic Americans are next, with 25 percent support, followed by Asian Americans with 11 percent support, then white Americans with nine percent.
The survey also determined that Republicans are the least likely political group to support government surveillance inside homes. The poll found that 19 percent of liberals favor the idea, 18 percent of centrists do, and 11 percent of Republicans support it.
The Cato Institute/YouGov survey polled 2,000 Americans from February 27 to March 8. The survey’s margin of error is 2.54 percent.

More than 80% of Anderson Cooper’s $12 million salary is paid by PFIZER, warns RFK, Jr.
In a recent appearance with The Liberty Daily, 2024 presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unpacked the truth about CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper and where the bulk of his paycheck comes from — Pfizer.
It turns out that more than 80 percent of Cooper’s $12 million annual salary, or about $10 million, comes directly from Pfizer. This would explain why Cooper has never once told the truth about Pfizer’s mRNA Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccines,” choosing instead to push them on his viewers.
“Anderson Cooper has a $12 million a year annual salary,” Kennedy revealed during the segment. “Well, $10 million of that is coming from Pfizer.”
“So, his boss is not CNN. His boss is Pfizer. And they’re unashamed about it. They’re unabashed about it. They say on his program ‘brought to you by Pfizer.’ Of course, he’s not going to tell you the truth about Pfizer’s product. He’s going to try to sell it to you. He’s going to try to scare the hell out of you saying, ‘if you don’t take this, you’re going to die.'”

WHO partners with Rockefellers to implement Wellcome Trusts’ plan for a “Global Pandemic Radar”
With the goal of reaching every corner of the earth to detect infectious diseases as they appear, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) is partnering with key countries on all continents and private entities such as The Rockefeller Foundation to form a new global organization to monitor, identify and track diseases.
WHO is not transparent and doesn’t indicate who its partners are on any project. They’re not about to start now even on something that severely impacts the daily lives of the entire world’s population, like who is really controlling the data that would be used to declare a global pandemic. So, it’s unclear whether Wellcome Trust is a partner alongside The Rockefeller Foundation.
We previously published an article about The Rockefeller Foundation announcing a partnership with WHO to detect pathogens. Although The Rockefeller Foundation didn’t name it, this collaboration is called the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (“IPSN”). The Rockefeller Foundation’s announcement left no doubt that its focus is on pandemics caused by climate change:
US$ 5M investment will accelerate priority projects of the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence to drive global collaboration in genomic surveillance, adoption of data tools for pathogen detection, and assessment of climate-aggravated outbreak threats.
The Rockefeller Foundation and World Health Organization Announce Partnership To Expand Global Pandemic Preparedness in Era of Climate Change, The Rockefeller Foundation, 23 May 2023
WHO’s announcement of the partnership, however, leaves climate pandemics out entirely. It also fails to mention who its partners are, and we were unable to find mention of these partners anywhere on WHO’s website.
“WHO and partners are launching a global network to help protect people from infectious disease threats through the power of pathogen genomics. The International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN) will provide a platform to connect countries and regions, improving systems for collecting and analyzing samples, using these data to drive public health decision-making, and sharing that information more broadly,” the WHO said in a news release.
“The IPSN, with a Secretariat hosted by the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, brings together experts worldwide at the cutting edge of genomics and data analytics, from governments, philanthropic foundations, multilateral organizations, civil society, academia, and the private sector. All share a common goal: to detect and respond to disease threats before they become epidemics and pandemics, and to optimize routine disease surveillance.”
The IPSN was initiated under UK’s 2021 G7 Presidency. At that time Prime Minister Boris Johnson referred to it as a “global pandemic radar” which he first called for at a UN Security Council in September 2020 as part of a “5 point plan.”
In May 2021, the UK government announced it had commissioned a report from Sir Jeremy Farrar, Chair of the Wellcome Trust, which outlined the mechanisms for a global pathogen surveillance system that can identify new variants of covid and detect other diseases before they become pandemics. The Rockefeller Foundation were pleased with Johnson’s announcement and stated:
With the international collaboration of The Rockefeller Foundation, the Federal Republic of Germany’s WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, and now the UK’s Global Pandemic Radar, with the support of the Wellcome Trust and World Health Organization, by the end of this year we will transform the global capacity for stopping disease outbreaks in the first 100 days before they can begin to spread.
The Rockefeller Foundation Welcomes UK’s Global Pandemic Radar, The Rockefeller Foundation, 21 May 2021
The G7 Summit in Carbis Bay determined to improve early warning systems for pandemics and, in this regard, the communiqué recognized Farrar for his work on pathogen surveillance over the previous year and a half.
We will boost global surveillance and genomic sequencing and swift information sharing needed to enable the rapid detection to combat the virus and its emerging variants. [pg.5]
We support the establishment of the international pathogen surveillance network – a global pandemic radar … We note the report to the Presidency on pathogen surveillance by Sir Jeremy Farrar. To this end we welcome the WHO’s Global Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence. [pg. 7]
Carbis Bay G7 Summit Communiqué, Our Shared Agenda for Global Action to Build Back Better, G7, 12 July 2021
The G7 Summit ended on 13 June 2021. The following day, The Rockefeller Foundation issued a statement saying it “welcome[d] the G7’s commitment to pandemic prevention and the Carbis Bay Health Declaration to stop the next pandemic in the first 100 days … The Rockefeller Foundation [was] currently developing a pandemic prevention institute to work closely with the G7 and the World Health Organization.”
Farrar left Wellcome Trust in February 2023. On 8 May 2023, Farrar became WHO’s Chief Scientist. On 20 May 2023, the IPSN was launched on the sidelines of the World Health Assembly. A partnership between WHO and The Rockefeller Foundation. The establishment of the IPSN has been supported by German government funding to the WHO Pandemic Hub. The Hub facilitates a global collaboration of unnamed partners from multiple sectors working with almost 250 institutions around the world.

‘Only one sausage per month for everyone!’ German Nutrition Society recommends over 90% reduction in daily meat eating– to combat global warming
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) now recommends reducing meat consumption to 10 grams per day per person to combat global warming. ... A sudden and radical renunciation: The average meat consumption of Germans is 109 grams per day, or about 763 grams per week. The population will therefore have to drastically change its eating behavior if it agrees to comply with this new strategy.
The DGE is no longer just about health – But the DGE is no longer just concerned with health reasons! The background to the planned meat reform is something completely different: in the future, environmental factors such as “sustainability” will also be taken into account in the recommendations.
The Lower Saxony Chamber of Agriculture has calculated that even halving meat consumption would bring Germany one percentage point closer to its climate goals. Rather, the big chunk of CO2 emissions is the energy sector (including lignite-fired power plants).
Heike Harstick, general manager of the meat association, is appalled. She tells BILD: “Even in Germany, many people are already undersupplied with certain nutrients, such as iron or vitamin B12. If the new nutritional recommendations presented by the DGE were to remain and such a drastic reduction in animal-based foods recommended, the deficiency would increase.” The planned reference values are “in no way scientifically proven”.
In general, the DGE emphasizes: “Nobody wants to forbid people to eat their currywurst occasionally. But overall meat consumption in the population is too high for health and sustainability reasons, that’s a scientific fact.”

Get ready for this because this is going to become a massive trend in the coming years. The global warming agenda is going to ramp up and they are going to come after the food, water, and energy.
Experts Warn Bird Flu Virus Changing Rapidly In Largest Ever Outbreak
The virus causing record cases of avian influenza in birds across the world is changing rapidly, experts have warned, as calls increase for countries to vaccinate their poultry.
While emphasizing that the risk to humans remains low, the experts who spoke to AFP said that the surging number of bird flu cases in mammals was a cause for concern.
Since first emerging in 1996, the H5N1 avian influenza virus had previously been confined to mostly seasonal outbreaks.
But "something happened" in mid-2021 that made the group of viruses much more infectious, according to Richard Webby, the head of a World Health Organization collaborating center studying influenza in animals.
Since then, outbreaks have lasted all year round, spreading to new areas and leading to mass deaths among wild birds and tens of millions of poultry being culled.
Webby, who is a researcher at St Jude Children's Research Hospital in the US city of Memphis, told AFP it was "absolutely" the largest outbreak of avian influenza the world had seen.
He led research, published this week in the journal Nature Communications, showing how the virus rapidly evolved as it spread from Europe into North America.
The study said the virus increased in virulence, which means it causes more dangerous disease, when in arrived in North America.
The researchers also infected a ferret with one of the new strains of bird flu.
The found an unexpectedly "huge" amount of the virus in its brain, Webby said, indicating it had caused more serious disease than previous strains.
Emphasizing that the risk in humans was still low, he said that "this virus is not being static, it's changing".

Globalist World Health Organization Will Take Up EU System behind Digital Vaccine Passports to “Facilitate Global Mobility” and “Better Protect Citizens”
The globalist World Health Organization will take up the EU system behind the digital vaccine passport to facilitate global mobility and better protect citizens in a future pandemic.
But don’t worry this system will NEVER be abused by the officials in power who want to feed you bugs.
They say they will only use this for the next pandemic. Does anyone believe them?
Democrats support the WHO.EU.Europa reported:
Today, the European Commission and the World Health Organization (WHO) have announced the launch of a landmark digital health partnership.
In June 2023, WHO will take up the European Union (EU) system of digital COVID-19 certification to establish a global system that will help facilitate global mobility and protect citizens across the world from on-going and future health threats. This is the first building block of the WHO Global Digital Health Certification Network (GDHCN) that will develop a wide range of digital products to deliver better health for all.
Based on the EU Global Health Strategy and WHO Member States Global Strategy on Digital Health, the initiative follows the 2 December 2022 agreement signed by Commissioner Kyriakides and WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to enhance strategic cooperation on global health issues. This further bolsters a robust multilateral system with WHO at its core, powered by a strong EU.
This partnership will include close collaboration in the development, management and implementation of the WHO system, benefitting from the European Commission’s ample technical expertise in the field. A first step is to ensure that the current EU digital certificates continue to function effectively.
-Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit
When the outline for this EU system of vaccine passports first came out, it held thousands of blank templates for information such as a driver’s license, social security number, social media accounts, as well as algorithms that would collect your social media data, credit score information, and banking information. This is nothing more than ID2020. This is a digital ID that are trying to implement and now the WHO is adopting the EU system. And they are doing this right before the next pandemic with the WHO pandemic agreement in place. We know where this is heading.
