Dog-Like Robot Jams Home Networks and Disables Devices During Police Raids — DHS Develops Neo Robot for Walking Denial of Service Attacks

/2 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that it has developed a four-legged robot designed to jam the wireless transmissions of smart home devices. The robot was revealed at the 2024 Border Security Expo and is called NEO. It is built using the Quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicle (Q-UGV) and looks a lot like the Boston Dynamics Spot robot.

According to the transcript of the speech by DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) director Benjamine Huffman, acquired by 404 Media, NEO is equipped with an antenna array that is designed to overload home networks, thus disrupting devices that rely on Wi-Fi and other wireless communication protocols. It will thus likely be effective against a wide range of popular smart home devices that use wireless technologies for communications.

Aside from taking out smart devices, law enforcement can also use the robot to communicate with subjects in the target area, and to provide remote eyes and ears to officers on the ground. “NEO can enter a potentially dangerous environment to provide video and audio feedback to the officers before entry and allow them to communicate with those in that environment,” says Huffman. “NEO carries an onboard computer and antenna array that will allow officers the ability to create a ‘denial-of-service’ (DoS) event to disable ‘Internet of Things’ devices that could potentially cause harm while entry is made.”

The Entire Trump Assassination Plot is About to Blow Up Thanks to a Mysterious ATF Agent Who Just Went Dark

/2 Comments/in , , /by

There’s a major shroud of mystery and unanswered questions hanging over the Trump assassination attempt, with new bizarre details coming out daily. The latest bombshell involves a mysterious ATF agent who appears to have secretly gotten involved in the case but has suddenly gone dark. Senator Ron Johnson is all over this new twist. If his findings hold water, they could blow the lid off the entire plot to kill President Trump. In short, according to Senator Johnson and his inside sources, a sniper team was the first on the roof, taking pictures of the scene and the dead shooter. Shockingly, they were approached by a man in a suit who they thought was from the Secret Service and were instructed to text those photos to a phone number that turned out to belong to an ATF agent. Now, attempts to contact this mysterious agent have failed because he’s gone completely dark.

Revolver’s own Darren Beattie, the man who blew the lid off January 6th and coined the term “Fedsurrection,” had this to share about the looming bombshell:

Keep in mind that the ATF flies under the radar compared to the FBI and CIA, making it almost the perfect place for a “mop-up man” to operate with very minimal scrutiny. Darren points to a prime suspect in the J6 pipe bomb hoax, which, he says, also heavily implicates the Secret Service. His suspect is Ashan Benedict, a 20+ year ATF veteran now heading dignitary protection at Capitol Police. The details are simply too wild to believe.

Revolver:

We are now in a position to expose the identity of the most senior Capitol Police official in that meeting and the man who reportedly presented congressional officials and staffers with the absurd excuse that the Capitol Police and Secret Service allowed a group of children to walk in front of the bomb so as not to cause panic—a baffling explanation for such a flagrant breach of protocol as to be unbelievable to the point of offense. That Capitol Police official is Ashan Benedict, currently Assistant Chief of Police of the Capitol Police in charge of Protective and Intelligence Operations. Yes, you read that right. A man who would excuse the flagrant violation of security protocol as depicted in the footage of the DNC bomb discovery is the head of Protective Operations at the Capitol Police. This alone should be sufficient to cause a national scandal, but it gets far worse. Ashan Benedict’s conduct and statements in the meeting described above, together with new (yet entirely overlooked) information that has come out as a result of a recent Judicial Watch FOIA request, lead us to believe with a high degree of conviction that Ashan M. Benedict is one of the key cover-up men of the entire January 6 pipe bomb hoax.

/2 Comments/in , /by

A Michigan man suspected of running down an 80-year-old with an ATV in a politically motivated attack has been found dead by apparent suicide, according to reports.

The 22-year-old suspect was found in his home with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on Monday, after having called police looking to confess, according to WLUC.

“Send someone to pick me up,” the unidentified suspect told cops, who responded to his Quincy home and found him dead. . .

The suspect had accosted the elderly man as he placed pro-Donald Trump signs in his yard, initially ripping them up while speeding by on the ATV.

When the victim tried to put the signs back, the suspect ran him down with the ATV and fled. (Read more from “Suspect, 22, Who Allegedly Ran Over Trump Supporter, 80, With ATV Kills Himself: Report” HERE)

Graphic Video Shows Thomas Crooks Dead Moments After Trump Assassination Attempt, Confirms Secret Service Was Warned

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Shocking new footage shows local cops and a Secret Service agent standing over the dead body of would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks as they appeared to confirm the 20-year sniper was identified as a suspicious person before he opened fire.

The bodycam video, released by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, shows Crooks’ lifeless body as a pool of blood trails along the roof where he wounded Trump and killed a hero firefighter earlier this month during a Pennsylvania rally.

One man, who appears to be a Secret Service agent, tells a Beaver County Emergency Service Unit officer that Crooks’ body appeared to be the suspicious person who was previously reported to them. . .

The emergency services officer also says a police sniper took photos of Crooks, including of him on a bicycle, according to the footage.

“That’s the sniper that sent the original picture and seen him come from the bike and set the book bag down and then lost sight of him,” the officer tells the apparent Secret Service agent.

Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Father Speaks Out for First Time After Son Tried to Assassinate Ex- Prez

/2 Comments/in , /by

The father of would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks has revealed the family is just trying to “take care of ourselves” — as he stepped out in public for the first time since the shooting.

Matthew Brian Crooks, 53, made the remarks as he was spotted leaving a grocery store on Monday, Fox News reported.

“We just want to try to take care of ourselves right now. Please, just give us our space,” Crooks said as he loaded bag-loads of items into his car.

“We’re going to release a statement when our legal counsel advises us to do so – until then, we have no comment.”

It marks the first time the dad has spoken out since his 20-year-old son opened fire with an AR-15 rifle during Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pa. on July 13. (Read more from “Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Father Speaks Out for First Time After Son Tried to Assassinate Ex- Prez” HERE)

‘Morning Joe’ Guest Says It is ‘Impossible’ to Believe in Christian Values While Supporting Trump (VIDEO)

/3 Comments/in , /by

The Lincoln Project’s Stuart Stevens said on Tuesday it is “impossible” for supporters of Republican nominee Donald Trump to truly believe in Christian values.

Stevens said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that some evangelical leaders are conflicted with their community’s support for Trump. He questioned whether Christians voting for the Republican nominee truly believe what they claim to.

“I don’t think this is really very complicated. I think sadly it’s exposed at the heart of a lot of these voters the fact that they don’t really believe what they say that they believe,” Stevens said. “It is impossible to say that you believe in Christian values and support a man like Donald Trump. I think that you just can’t reconcile that.”

Republican Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles introduced articles of impeachment Tuesday against Vice President Kamala Harris, citing high crimes and misdemeanors.

Ogles explained to the Daily Caller that he believes Harris “knowingly breached the public’s trust by failing to invoke the 25th Amendment after it became clear that Joe Biden was mentally and physically unfit to serve as president” and said “immediate action must be taken.”

Secret Service Advises Trump Campaign to Move Indoors Amidst Assassination Attempt Fallout

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the wake of the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the Secret Service has reportedly advised his campaign to halt outdoor rallies and events, and hold them indoors.

Sources close to the matter, speaking anonymously to the Washington Post, revealed that the Secret Service has directly engaged with Trump campaign advisers, urging them to avoid large outdoor gatherings in light of security vulnerabilities exposed by the July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. During that rally, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks fired a shot that narrowly missed Trump, piercing the upper part of his right ear.

The campaign, which traditionally thrives on the energy and spectacle of outdoor rallies, is now considering venues like basketball arenas and other expansive indoor spaces that can accommodate thousands of supporters.

“Indoor rallies provide a level of security because you can control who enters through a limited number of entry points,” explained a campaign official who spoke anonymously to discuss internal planning. “However, they lack the same dynamic and impact of outdoor rallies, where the atmosphere is electrifying.”

Since the attempted assassination, the Secret Service has faced mounting criticism over lapses in security that allowed Crooks to fire from a nearby rooftop undetected. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle recently faced intense questioning from lawmakers during a hearing before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Both Democrats and Republicans grilled Cheatle on security perimeter protocols and why suspicious activities were not addressed promptly.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) queried Cheatle on why the security perimeter did not extend beyond the range of an AR-15 rifle. Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) pressed Cheatle on the handling of suspicious persons at the rally and the decision-making process that led to the tragic incident.

Cheatle’s resignation from her position as director followed the contentious hearing, signaling ongoing turmoil within the agency amidst calls for accountability and reforms in security protocols.

Chaos of Abrupt, Desperate Democrat Switch to Kamala Harris Already Backfiring

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Democrats’ abrupt and desperate move to ditch incumbent President Joe Biden as their 2024 presidential candidate and instead coronate Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket is already showing signs of backfiring on their party and playing right into GOP presidential nominee former President Donald Trump’s hands.

First and foremost, the mad dash by Democrats over the past several weeks since the late June debate between Trump and Biden to force the reluctant-to-drop-out Biden out of the race severely weakened Biden’s standing to the point where he basically had no choice politically but to drop. Then, when Biden finally did exit the race on Sunday afternoon—which came after Trump survived a failed assassination attempt and the highly successful Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin—instead of holding an open process whereby several Democrats would openly compete for their party’s nomination, Democrat elders quickly consolidated behind Harris as their standard-bearer all falling in line within 48 hours. The coronation was swift, and now the conversation has shifted after enough delegates to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) had verbally committed to backing her to put her over the top to a question of who she would be picking as her running mate.

The move has been so quick and swift, made in a frenzied panic by Democrats fearful of what the numbers were showing and the effect that a weak Biden would have on their down-ticket prospects, that the shift reeks of desperation. One of the only voices of reason on the Democrat side, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), even ripped his fellow Democrats for pushing Biden out of the race:

As this top-of-the-ticket move solidifies, and it becomes clearer and clearer that Democrats are now stuck with Harris—just as they were previously stuck with Biden—it begs the question: Did they make a critical mistake? The early evidence would suggest that, yes, they did. Let’s examine all the available evidence at this stage, and see if a trend or pattern emerges. It’s worth noting this analysis published here is a very early look at what the data shows thus far, and things could change in this rapidly shifting environment. It’s also worth noting this analysis does not even scratch the surface of how radical and extreme Harris is, even as compared to Biden, a picture likely to emerge soon. This looks simply at polling data and other campaign mechanics, and it seems as though Harris is not off to the strong start many would have you believe.

DOJ Discovers Transcripts of Biden’s Biographer Interviews It Previously Denied Existed

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) admitted Monday — the day after Biden dropped his reelection bid — it possessed transcripts of Biden’s interviews with his biographer after months of denying those transcripts existed.

The DOJ told a federal Judge Monday it had located transcripts of Biden’s chats with his biographer Mark Zwonitzer months after the conversations fell under the national spotlight, reported Politico.

Special counsel Robert Hur, appointed to investigate Biden’s retention of classified documents, invited scrutiny to the interviews after revealing in his March 2024 report that he would not bring charges against Biden in part because Biden was “a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Republicans sought transcripts of the Biden and Zwonitzer conversations — as well as audio recordings of Hur’s interrogations of Biden.

Biden’s DOJ has fought efforts to turn over recordings, which Republicans have argued could reveal more than the transcripts about Biden’s mental state.

Biden’s disastrous June 27 debate with Donald Trump amplified concerns from Republicans and Democrats on Biden’s capabilities. Biden ended his reelection bid Sunday after three brutal weeks of pressure from Democrats who feared his ability to run a campaign and defeat Trump in the aftermath of the debate.
