Pentagon Disinformation Fueled UFO Myths, WSJ Reveals

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recent Wall Street Journal investigation reveals that much of America’s UFO mythology has been fueled by Pentagon disinformation campaigns designed to cover up real secret-weapons programs, not extraterrestrial encounters.

The report uncovers that as early as the 1950s, the U.S. military spread doctored photos and false stories — such as doctored images of “flying saucers” at Area 51— to mislead the public and protect classified stealth fighter projects. Rather than hiding alien technology, the military sought to keep secret the development of advanced weapons systems critical to national security during the Cold War.

The Pentagon’s congressionally-ordered probe, led by chief scientist Sean Kirkpatrick, found that disinformation was often propagated by local commanders as well as possibly by institutional programs, creating fertile ground for decades of myths. These myths were sometimes allowed to flourish intentionally to misdirect foreign intelligence, especially from the Soviet Union.

In 2023, investigators uncovered a bizarre “hazing” ritual within the Air Force’s classified programs, where new commanders were shown fake photos of supposed antigravity vehicles and told to keep the secret, fueling further misinformation. The Department of Defense plans to release a follow-up report detailing these findings later this year. (Read more from “Pentagon Disinformation Fueled UFO Myths, WSJ Reveals” HERE)

The United States Northern Command confirmed that 500 U.S. Marines stood on alert in “prepared to deploy status” at Twentynine Palms, California, as news broke that protesters had swarmed onto the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles.

Nick Sortor shared video from local news coverage of the ongoing protests, which showed protesters blocking the highway near Union Station at Alameda St. “Hundreds of drivers are now trapped on the expressway with violent rioters,” he said in the accompanying X post.

The U.S. Northern Command issued a press release late on Sunday detailing the number of troops who had already been mobilized — as well as those who were standing on alert in case they were needed to augment those already the ground.

Trump Directs DHS, DOD to ‘Liberate Los Angeles’ Amid Riots: ‘Illegals Will Be Expelled’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he has directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense (DOD) to aid in quelling civil unrest as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conduct raids in the city of Los Angeles.

The president said in a post that the directive will “liberate Los Angeles” while pledging to expel migrants in the United States illegally.

“A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations — But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve,” the president said.

“I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots. Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free,” he added.

‘It’s OK’: Trump, Musk Edge Toward Truce After Ugly Quarrel

/4 Comments/in , , /by

White House aides scrambled to arrange peace talks Thursday after President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s vicious public spat threatened to derail the president’s signature legislative agenda, Politico reported.

Aides had arranged a private call for Friday, according to the outlet, though a senior White House official told The Daily Caller that while Musk “has expressed interest in a phone call, the President does not intend to speak to Musk today.” Staff reportedly prodded Trump to avoid insults and act tactfully, arguing a skirmish with the world’s richest man would only distract Republicans he still needs to muscle the multi-trillion-dollar package across the finish line, while Musk hinted at reconciliation after hedge fund titan Bill Ackman publicly begged the two men to “make peace for the benefit of our country.”

“Oh it’s OK,” Trump told Politico, responding to a question about the spat. “It’s going very well, never done better … the numbers are through the roof, the highest polls I’ve ever had and I have to go.”

The president’s nonchalant response Thursday marked a stark contrast to the ugly, days-long social media exchange that began when Musk blasted the “big beautiful bill’s” projected $2.4 billion price tag as “pork-filled” and a “disgusting abomination” on Tuesday.

The SpaceX founder continued to unleash a barrage of posts attacking the legislation’s fiscal impact, accusing Trump and congressional Republicans of abandoning conservative principles on government spending. Trump initially fired back with characteristic force — branding Musk “CRAZY” and threatening to terminate the many federal subsidies and contracts his companies enjoy — but White House staff successfully convinced him to temper his approach by Thursday afternoon, according to the outlet.

Trump Admin Reportedly Chokes China’s Access To Nuclear Energy Equipment

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has reportedly suspended licenses for U.S. nuclear equipment suppliers to sell to China as trade tensions escalate between the two largest economies in the world, Reuters reported Friday.

The U.S. Department of Commerce reportedly halted licenses for exports to China this week for parts and equipment used to build nuclear power plants, according to Reuters, which cited four anonymous sources familiar with the situation. The reported move follows previous U.S. export restrictions targeting China’s access to key goods — including machine tools, chip design software, butane and aviation equipment — as trade frictions have intensified between Beijing and Washington.

On May 12, the White House announced that the deal had been reached with China to reduce tariffs imposed by both countries for a period of 90 days while a more permanent deal was negotiated. However, the deal quickly unraveled, with both sides accusing the other of violating its terms.

“I made a FAST DEAL with China in order to save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation, and I didn’t want to see that happen. Because of this deal, everything quickly stabilized and China got back to business as usual. Everybody was happy! That is the good news!!!” President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social on May 30. “The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!”

The Commerce Department told Reuters in late May that it is reviewing exports of strategically significant items to China, stating that “Commerce has suspended existing export licenses or imposed additional license requirements while the review is pending” in some cases.

The Match That Could Burn Down the CCP Has Been Lit

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a dusty factory town in southwestern China, a 27-year-old worker cheated of 800 yuan ($100) in wages struck back by torching the factory where he had been employed, declaring, “We’re all going to die anyway.” The massive factory burned for three days, and when the fire finally went out, “Brother 800” was born, a viral symbol of despair and rage.

Chinese netizens have spread his story far and wide, and he has emerged as the voice of millions of laid-off, cheated and enraged workers across China. “Brother 800” has become a symbol of courage and vigilante justice, and this terrifies the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

China’s $17.7 trillion economy, once seemingly a beacon of prosperity, is crumbling under a devastating property crash, a crushing debt load and broken promises. From Shenyang’s ghost towns to Shanghai’s plummeting condos, the Chinese Communist Party’s pact with its people, riches in exchange for docility, lies in ashes. The key question for interested observers is whether “Brother 800’s” match will ignite a firestorm.

The collapse is rooted in systemic rot. For decades, local governments fueled growth by selling land, which accounted for 40% of local government revenue by 2020. The property bubble burst in 2021, when giant real estate companies like Evergrande collapsed along with property values and tax revenues. Shanghai, one of China’s wealthiest cities, has seen a 60% fall in real estate prices. That’s disastrous for any economy, but in China, it’s especially problematic because 60% of all Chinese wealth is tied up in real estate.

The popping of China’s real estate bubble is devastating enough, but it coincides with the introduction of massive U.S. tariffs that have gutted exports and employment, deepening an already gaping fiscal wound. Local governments, drowning in $13 trillion in debt, are selling hospitals in Guizhou and tourist spots in Yunnan in desperate attempts to stay afloat.

Trump Admin Officials Blast LA Mayor Karen Bass’ Response to Ice Raids — as Cops Clash With Violent Protesters

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several Trump administration officials fired back at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Friday after she pledged to oppose federal efforts to nab illegal immigrants — as cops in her city had to use flash bangs to disperse the violent mob of protesters who descended on the arrest sites.

“We will not stand for this,” Bass said in a statement released after federal immigration authorities arrested 44 people in raids across Los Angeles.

“I am deeply angered by what has taken place,” the Democrat mayor fumed, noting that her office “is in close coordination with immigrant rights community organizations.”

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller quickly dismissed Bass’ declaration.

“You have no say in this at all,” Miller shot back on social media.

“Federal law is supreme and federal law will be enforced,” he noted on X. (Read more from “Trump Admin Officials Blast LA Mayor Karen Bass’ Response to Ice Raids — as Cops Clash With Violent Protesters” HERE)

FBI Boss Kash Patel Has This Response to Musk Threat to Expose Trump in Jeffrey Epstein Files

/0 Comments/in , , /by

FBI Director Kash Patel was in the middle of a two-hour interview on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Thursday when Elon Musk boldly claimed that President Trump’s presence in the Jeffrey Epstein files is why Attorney General Pam Bondi has yet to release them in full.

“I’m not participating in any of that conversation between Elon and Trump,” a surprised Patel said after learning of the shocking statement by the world’s richest man.

“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk,53, tweeted in the middle of a multi-hour rant against the president.

“[Donald Trump] is in the Epstein files. That’s the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT.”

“Jesus Christ,” Rogan said after reading out the message. “That’s a crazy thing to say. How does he know? Does he know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files? Or does he have access to the Epstein files?”

Patel responded that he didn’t “know how he would” know anything about the contents of the Epstein files, but declined to speak further about the feud. (Read more from “FBI Boss Kash Patel Has This Response to Musk Threat to Expose Trump in Jeffrey Epstein Files” HERE)

Trump DOJ Warns WI Elections Regulator To Stop Breaking The Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Department of Justice is warning the Wisconsin Elections Commission that it is violating federal law, and the state regulator could pay a hefty price.

In a letter sent Wednesday to the WEC, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon asserts the agency has failed to follow key provisions of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). The letter notes the controversial commission has no real means of policing itself.

“Quite surprisingly, we have learned that the Wisconsin Elections Commission has refused to provide any administrative complaint process or hearing regarding HAVA complaints against the Commission. Rather, Wisconsin has decided to rely on a 2022 state [Supreme] court case opining that the Commission cannot police itself,” the letter states.

HAVA is clear. It requires each state to have an administrative complaint giving voters the ability to file a HAVA violation complaint that they see or experience while voting. States must meet the requirement in order to receive federal funding under HAVA.

But the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision complicated matters. The ruling by the conservative-led court at the time found the use of widespread absentee ballot drop boxes against the law but it also ended the process of WEC — or outside counsel for WEC — investigating itself. But that change would seem to stand in conflict with HAVA law, according to the Justice Department. (Read more from “Trump DOJ Warns WI Elections Regulator To Stop Breaking The Law” HERE)

Ohr Memo Confirms Clinton Team Had Early Knowledge of Ukrainian Black Ledger

/0 Comments/in , /by

The newly released Nellie Ohr documents from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have already made waves for two major reasons. First, they show the FBI concluded Nellie Ohr lied to Congress and then failed to act on it. Second, they revealed an internal FBI “black hole” filing system designed to bury evidence that contradicted or disproved the Donald Trump-Russia narrative, shielding it not just from the public but from the FBI’s own agents.

Yet there’s more. Buried in the release is also confirmation of another key aspect of how the Russiagate smear unfolded, one that has so far escaped much attention: Clinton campaign operative Ohr appears to have had advance knowledge of the so-called “black ledger” operation by Ukrainian officials.

This operation ultimately led to the political downfall of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort in 2016. This information also provides more evidence that it wasn’t Trump who colluded with foreign powers against domestic opponents — it was Democrats.

While the broad outlines of this connection between the Clinton campaign and Ukraine have been known for some time, the newly released documents reveal the FBI was aware of Ohr’s foreknowledge as early as 2019. That’s when a report on her activities was written — but the FBI took no action.

Notably, this was before the first impeachment of President Trump, which was triggered by his inquiries into corruption in Ukraine. This detail confirms the strong likelihood that the Clinton campaign was more directly involved in the Ukrainian effort to smear Trump than was previously acknowledged.
