‘I Shot Him in the Head Point-Blank’: Democratic Council President Reveals Jaw-Dropping Dark Secret

A Pennsylvania Democrat made a chilling confession during a Wednesday city council meeting that may invite a criminal investigation.

The Erie City Council held its bi-monthly meeting earlier this week, during which council members addressed the recent death of Marchello Woodard, a man who was fatally shot.

During the meeting, council President Mel Witherspoon (D) explained why he had not attended the man’s funeral or the rally held in his honor, claiming that the events “brought some things back to me that I thought was gone.” . . .

“I played football and basketball. And the tackle, good guy, nice guy. And the guys came to my room, and we got high,” he continued. “They left. I had the clip in my gun.”

“Nick came in my room. I said, ‘You know, Nick, I could blow your head off.’ He said, ‘Go ahead.’ And I did,” Witherspoon admitted.

“I shot him in the head point-blank,” he declared.

Trump’s Epstein Problem Just Got a Lot Bigger

. . .[T]he Jeffrey Epstein scandal is proving difficult to tamp down.

Now a rebel band of Republican lawmakers including some of MAGA’s biggest stars – like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert – are joining forces with hundreds of Democrats to force a bombshell ballot on the Epstein files.

Despite the typical partisan battle lines being drawn on most issues in Washington, D.C. these days, this matter in particular has created an unlikely set of bedfellows.

Progressive Democrat Ro Khanna and libertarian-minded Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky teamed up last week to introduce the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would compel Attorney General Pam Bondi to publicly release all unclassified materials relating to Jeffery Epstein.

The duo’s resolution is receiving the the backing of a diverse set of members, including New York socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Michigan ‘Squad’ member Rashida Tlaib, as well as Boebert of Colorado, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, and Greene of Georgia. . .

Even if only the 10 GOP co-sponsors of the resolution were to support it, it would easily pass the House as just a simple majority is needed, which is 218 votes out of 435. (Read more from “Trump’s Epstein Problem Just Got a Lot Bigger” HERE)

Merger of European-U.S. Satellite Companies Raises Fears of Chinese Access to Military Communication

The proposed merger between European satellite service provider SES, a major Pentagon space contractor, and Virginia-based Intelsat is raising national security concerns over SES’ strategic partnership with a Chinese state-linked satellite company, according to national security experts.

The $3.1 billion merger announced in April was followed a month later by SES reaching a strategic partnership with China’s AeroSat Link for an international airline inflight internet service program.

AeroSat Link is a subsidiary of state-run China Satellite Communications Co. Ltd., known as ChinaSat, that is part of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. (CASC).

Both ChinaSat and CASC are identified as Chinese military companies, and both were sanctioned by the Treasury Department in the past based on national security concerns.

Luxembourg-based SES operates a network of nearly 70 satellites in two different orbits, along with ground infrastructure that provides video and data services to 99% of the world’s population, according to the company website.

WATCH: The REAL Reason the Epstein ‘Client List’ Is Never Getting Released

Jeffry Epstein’s rumored ‘client list’ will never be released to the public by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), according to a former agent.

John Kiriakou, an ex-CIA officer who was jailed in 2012 for leaking the agency’s waterboarding interrogation techniques used at Guantanamo Bay, shared his views on the controversial pedophile – including his opinion on the alleged list of clients.

Kiriakou, who sat down for an episode of Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, told the media personality that he believes the alleged list will not see the light of day because it holds incredibly valuable intelligence information that the CIA would never hand over simply because the public demanded to see it.

The CIA whistleblower, who works for Sputnik- a Russian government news outlet – specifically said he believes that Epstein, 66, was employed by Israel’s intelligence service, Mossad – and that is why the list will not come out.

‘I believe that he was a Mossad access agent. It makes perfect sense to me,’ Kiriakou said. It has never been established that Epstein had ties to Mossad.

‘Jeffrey Epstein, in my view, is a textbook case of an access agent. I’ve said this before, but I think it’s important and it bears repeating,’ he told Bet-David.

Scientists Discover Pfizer COVID Jab Linked to Major Eye Damage

Scientists have discovered that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine may increase the risk of eye damage, leading to vision loss.

The new study specifically examined how the vaccine affected patients’ corneas, the clear front part of the eye that allows light to enter.

In 64 people, scientists in Turkey measured changes in the cornea’s inner layer, called the endothelium, before taking the first Pfizer dose and two months after receiving the second.

Results revealed that taking both doses of the vaccine led to thicker corneas, fewer endothelial cells in the eye and more variation in size of these specialized cells that form the endothelium.

In the short term, these changes suggest the Pfizer vaccine may temporarily weaken the endothelium, even though patients didn’t suffer clear vision problems during the study. (Read more from “Scientists Discover Pfizer COVID Jab Linked to Major Eye Damage” HERE)

Secret Service’s ‘Sloped Roof’ Saga Takes a New Turn in Trump Assassination Attempt

One year after the assassination attempt against President Trump, new details have emerged about a dispute between the Secret Service and Trump campaign staffers regarding the use of farm equipment to block a vulnerability at the rally that shooter Thomas Crooks exploited to nearly kill Trump, murder Corey Comperatore, and injure two other rallygoers.

Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s farcical testimony to Congress that the USSS counter snipers or local police couldn’t place themselves on top of the building where Crooks fired his shots because the sloped roof posed a safety hazard could go down in history as one of the worst explanations for a systematic failure in modern history.

The obviously ludicrous argument inspired countless viral memes: cows standing on sloped roofs, Secret Service agents walking on the sloped roofs of the White House, USSS counter snipers at the Butler rally kneeling on a different sloped roof nearby, even patches depicting Santa holding a rifle above the words “sloped-roof qualified.”

All kidding aside, the Secret Service’s failure to adequately cover that roof remains largely unexplained, a sore point between local law enforcement officers in Butler and the Secret Service – one that trained shooters have argued is a vulnerability too egregiously obvious to miss.

But new details are emerging that some of the Secret Service’s reasons for leaving that rooftop open not only had nothing to do with the pitch of the rooftop, but may have been, at least partially, because an inexperienced agent, and possibly her superior, were trying too hard to please Trump’s campaign staff.

In-N-Out Burger Heiress to Move Family, HQ Out of California

The billionaire owner and heiress of In-N-Out Burger is relocating her family from California, saying it has become difficult to do business–and raise a family–in the state.

During an interview on Allie Beth Stuckey’s Relatable podcast, Lynsi Snyder said California has a lot of good things to offer, but “Raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here,” so she is moving her family to Franklin, Tennessee, and is building an office there, the New York Post reported on Friday.

Most of the burger joint’s locations will remain in California but it is planning to open some in Tennessee by next year.

During the coronavirus pandemic, one of the company’s restaurants was forced to close for not complying with a health mandate, and Snyder said, “We were shut down for a brief moment, but it was worth it. We can be closed down for a couple days and feel good about it,” per the Daily Mail. (Read more from “In-N-Out Burger Heiress to Move Family, HQ Out of California” HERE)

UNPRECEDENTED: Ambassador Huckabee Threatens Israel over Its Visa Restrictions on Christian Groups

In a strongly worded letter to Israeli Interior Minister Moshe Arbel, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee voiced his dissatisfaction with Israel’s refusal to grant collective entry visas to numerous Christian organizations, according to a report by N12 on Thursday.

Huckabee stated, “It would be unfortunate if we were forced to publicly disclose that Israel is engaging in harassment and displaying a negative stance toward these groups.” He concluded with a pointed warning: “Should this continue, I will have no choice but to consider implementing reciprocal measures against Israeli citizens requesting US visas.”

The letter, one of the most severe ever sent by a US ambassador to an Israeli official, was also forwarded to several high-ranking Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, the N12 report added.

N12 further elaborated on Huckabee’s remarks, where he noted the irony of Israel’s stance against Christian organizations despite the strong US-Israel alliance under President Trump. According to Huckabee, the Israeli Interior Ministry has been independently investigating each evangelical organization, requiring them to submit detailed forms regarding their religious beliefs, activities, and assets in Israel.

As a result, these groups have been denied new visas for religious representatives, pending the investigation’s conclusion, the report noted. (Read more from “Ambassador Huckabee Threatens Israel over Its Visa Restrictions on Christian Groups” HERE)

Biden Justice Department Sought ‘Federal Hook’ To Go After Parents As ‘Domestic Terrorists’: Documents

The Department of Justice under former President Joe Biden actively sought a “federal hook” to justify sending federal law enforcement after parents it labeled “domestic terrorists” because they were concerned about their children’s education.

Documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL) show that prior to the infamous Oct. 4, 2021, “domestic terrorist” memo from former Attorney General Merrick Garland, staff were looking for any possible way to go after parents concerned with coronavirus mandates, critical race theory, and “transgender” policies.

“We’re aware; the challenge here is finding a federal hook. But WH has been in touch about whether we can assist in some form or fashion,” Kevin Chambers, then an associate deputy attorney general, wrote in an Oct. 1 email, trying to manufacture a way to respond to a teed-up letter sent by the National School Boards Association (NSBA).

Career staff at the time were even concerned, saying there was no authority or legal basis for going after parents speaking out at school board meetings, particularly since they were protected by the First Amendment.

AFL said the new tranche of documents allows the organization to “complete the timeline” of how the NSBA and Biden DOJ and White House were colluding in order to go after parents. The legal group’s president, Gene Hamilton, said the emails show a “conspiracy that was ultimately aimed at depriving parents of two fundamental rights — the right to speak, and the right to direct the upbringing of their children.” (Read more from “Biden Justice Department Sought ‘Federal Hook’ To Go After Parents As ‘Domestic Terrorists’: Documents” HERE)

Uri Geller: Israel Used Secret Group of Military Psychics, AI to Attack Iran

In a phone interview, Geller elaborated that this reveal supports a claim made by Abdollah Ganji, former editor of the IRGC-linked newspaper Javan, that Israel utilized “occult and supernatural forces” during what the IDF dubbed Operation Rising Lion.

“In the first year of the Gaza war, news had leaked about [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu meeting with occult specialists,” Ganji said on X/Twitter.

“A few years ago, the Supreme Leader had stated that hostile countries and Western and Hebrew intelligence services use occult sciences and jinn entities for espionage.”

While the Mossad’s Farsi X account was quick to lampoon this allegation, Geller said that Ganji was “basically right.”

“The circumstances in Iran were so mysterious and so bizarre that the Iranian government realized that this cannot happen with mechanical means or cyberattacks. They cannot happen with anything known to the human mind from a scientific point of view,” he explained.
