Three Employees Resign From CNN Amid Very Fake News Scandal

By Matthew Boyle. Three CNN employees have resigned amid the network’s very fake news scandal in which it was forced to retract a hit piece on President Donald Trump and his associates.

“CNN said Monday that three journalists, including the executive editor in charge of a new investigative unit, have resigned after the publication of a Russia-related article that was retracted,” CNN’s Brian Stelter reported late Monday. “Thomas Frank, who wrote the story in question; Eric Lichtblau, an editor in the unit; and Lex Haris, who oversaw the unit, have all left CNN.”

Stelter quoted an anonymous CNN spokesperson—the network refused to comment to him on Sunday night over the scandal—as saying the network accepted their resignations. As Stelter acknowledged — not in this piece, but in his Sunday evening “Reliable Sources” newsletter — it was a Breitbart News investigation that forced CNN’s retraction and now the resignations of three top network officials.

CNN Is Imposing Strict New Rules on Its Russia Coverage

By Jon Passantino. CNN is imposing strict new publishing restrictions for online articles involving Russia after the network deleted a story and then issued a retraction late Friday, according to an internal email obtained by BuzzFeed News.

The email went out at 11:21 a.m. on Saturday from Rich Barbieri, the CNNMoney executive editor, saying “No one should publish any content involving Russia without coming to me and Jason [Farkas],” a CNN vice president . . .

The new restrictions also apply to other areas of the network — not just CNNMoney, which wasn’t involved with the article that was deleted and retracted. (Read more from “CNN Is Imposing Strict New Rules on Its Russia Coverage” HERE)

Tennessee Issues Hilarious Response to California Travel Ban

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Tennessee Senate fired back at the California state government in a biting joint resolution issued in response to California’s travel ban.

The resolution encouraged the governor of Tennessee and the Speakers of the Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate to enact a similar travel ban against California, and urged the other 48 states of the Union to not follow California’s example.

California’s attorney general recently added four states to a list of states deemed to have laws discriminating against LGBT people. California has banned state-funded travel to these states as a show of opposition to those laws, all of which were passed to better protect religious liberties. Tennessee, which is included on that list, pointed out the folly of such a travel ban in the bulk of a joint resolution.

With Ominous Tweet, Comey Pal Suggests Bombshell Story Is Soon to Drop

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A longtime friend of James Comey is teasing what could be a bombshell story about the former FBI director and his interactions with President Trump.

Benjamin Wittes, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, posted an ominous message on Twitter on Friday: “TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK.”

The lawyer, who blogs at Lawfare, has posted similar messages in the past just before major stories in the ongoing Trump-Comey saga hit The New York Times.

Wittes wrote on Twitter that the upcoming story could be published late Friday or on Monday. The heads-up comes a day after Trump revealed that he was bluffing last month when he suggested that he had recorded his conversations with Comey.

May 16 appears to be his first time Wittes previewed Comey stories.

DHS Agent: “Staggering” Pedophilia Crisis Uncovered With Mass Arrests of Entertainers, Community Leaders, Professionals and Clergy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As bogus news pushing the divisive two-party paradigm about which puppet politician said something stupid this week fills the airwaves, very real news is taking place and conveniently getting glossed over. This very real news involves very real victims — who happen to be innocent children.

This week, a massive operation came to a head that was carried out across southern California which swept up 238 child predators and traffickers — including clergymen attempting to buy a 6-year-old boy.

Conducted by the Los Angeles Regional Internet Crimes against Children task force, “Operation Broken Heart III” targeted offenders wanted for the sexual exploitation of children, child prostitution, sex tourism and possessing and distributing child pornography, said Deputy Chief Matt Blake of the Los Angeles Police Department, as reported by the LA Times.

The mass arrests were not made up of reclusive pedophiles living in their mother’s basements either. In fact, much of the arrests involved high-profile figures throughout the community.

John Reynolds, acting special agent in charge for U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations said that among those arrested were entertainers, community leaders, white-collar professionals and clergy members.

“The incidence of child sexual exploitation has reached staggering proportions,” he said at a news conference.

These are not your typical Internet dwellers looking to prey on children online with images and pornography. These people are willing to cross the globe to purchase children for sex. What this exposes is the very real, elite, and extremely horrific market for children.

In May, Michael Quinn, 33, traveled from Australia to Los Angeles to complete a deal to buy a 6-year-old boy for sex, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles.

As the Times reports, undercover agents met Quinn on a social media networking site, where he had communicated that he wanted to “meet up with a dad who shares his young one,” according to prosecutors.

“Quinn explained to the undercover agent he was hoping to meet ‘other pervs’ in the U.S. and ultimately agreed to pay a human trafficker $250 to provide him with a young boy with whom he could engage in illicit sex,” according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles.

Since its inception in 2014, Operation Broken Heart has increased resources to law enforcement agencies and task forces which have resulted in thousands of arrests. It is one of 61 programs nationwide funded through the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

Sadly, the funding for the prevention of child sex trafficking is but a drop in the bucket to the $51 billion spent annually fighting a [largely unconstitutional] drug war. . .

However, as the Free Thought Project has reported numerous times, many of these sickos hold positions of power within high levels of the government. They have an incentive to protect their operation and can do so using the many corrupt pedophiles within law enforcement as their minions.

In case after case, the Free Thought Project reports on horrifying instances of child sex rings that were allowed to go on for decades because politicians — including heads of states — policemen, clergy, and others were all in on the sick game.

In fact, as the new Netflix series, The Keepers set out to launch an investigation into a murder cold case it soon became much deeper because of the high-level pedophilia it revealed. The story exposed a concerted effort to conceal widespread rape and sexual abuse committed by Keough school chaplain and counselor Father Joseph Maskell, as well as other clergy, police, and a local gynecologist.

On multiple occasions, the Free Thought Project has reported interviews of former child sex trafficking victims who’ve all noted that they had nowhere to go as police and high-level politicians all took part in the abuse.

Hopefully, as the government’s war on drugs continues to crumble, people will wake up to the fact that rescuing a child from a rapist is far more important than catching some dude smoking a plant. Hopefully. (Read more articles from the author of “Staggering Pedophilia Crisis Uncovered,” HERE)

Feds Break Silence, Try to Explain Why They Didn’t Notify Victims in Secret Non-Prosecution Deal With Child Sex Offender Jeffery Epstein

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Federal prosecutors went on the offensive this month, denying allegations that they bowed to pressure from billionaire Palm Beach resident Jeffrey Epstein and his high-priced lawyers at the expense of dozens of teenage girls he sexually abused.

In their first public comment since 2007 — when they negotiated a deal that allowed Epstein to escape federal charges — prosecutors filed hundreds of pages of documents in U.S. District Court, explaining what led to the now infamous non-prosecution agreement that has been decried as “a sweetheart deal.”

Contrary to claims by attorneys representing two of Epstein’s victims in a lawsuit against the federal government, Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie Villafana said she and her superiors were trying to help the traumatized young women when they agreed to let Epstein plead guilty to state prostitution charges.

The now-64-year-old money manager, who spends most of his time on his estate in the Virgin Islands, served 13 months of an 18-month sentence in the Palm Beach County Stockade. He was allowed to leave each day to go to work. . .

In their [pending] lawsuit, the victims’ attorneys, Bradley Edwards and Paul Cassell, say [one of the released documents] is evidence of their claim that prosecutors lied to the victims. They also claim that prosecutors never told Epstein’s victims about the plea deal.

California Bans State Travel to Areas They View as ‘Discriminatory Towards Transgender and Homosexual People’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

California is restricting publicly funded travel to four more states because of recent laws that leaders here view as discriminatory against gay and transgender people.

All totaled, California now bans most state-funded travel to eight states.

The new additions to California’s restricted travel list are Texas, Alabama, Kentucky and South Dakota.

They join Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee as states already subjected to the ban.

California Attorney Xavier Becerra announced the new states at a Thursday press conference, where he was joined by representatives from ACLU Northern California and Equality California.

Starbucks Caught Lying to Public Again: Spent Almost $100 Million Covering up GMO Use

/0 Comments/in , , /by

First, it was Starbucks’ anti-family campaign, then its anti-gun fanaticism that turned off millions of conservative Americans to its high-priced coffee. Now, with Starbucks caught lying over GMO use, the coffee-giant is offending citizens of all political stripes. As reported by the Hearty Soul.

We live in an age of inequality and social divide. With 1% of the population in the United States holding 38% of the wealth and almost all of the power. Education, healthcare, the government, and even the food we eat and drink are owned by wealthy individuals and faceless corporations.

So it may not come as a surprise to you that a morning coffee from Starbucks is the last thing that you should be drinking to put a pep in your step. It has been discovered that the coffee conglomerate has spent nearly $100 million to cover up their use of GMOs in their drinks.

‘In the past two years alone, Starbucks has been a part of a GMA-led coalition that has donated more than $70 million dollars to defeat GMO labeling efforts in California and Washington State,’ said a spokesperson for Food Democracy Now. ‘By opposing GMO labeling, Starbucks has willingly climbed in bed with Monsanto and the GMA and is intentionally misleading customers about their commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.’

It’s a damning statement and is certainly warranted. Not only have Starbucks been putting on a facade as an ethical organization, but they have proactively sought to increase the usage of GMO foods. Considering that they have over 23,000 stores in 64 different countries, Starbucks has a huge influence on farmers.

Starbucks’ milk currently comes from factory farmed cows, usually owned by their partner Monsanto. These cows are kept in terrible conditions, pumped with unnatural antibiotics and fed GMO grains. According to the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) in 2011, Starbucks used over, ‘93 million gallons of milk per year, enough to fill 155 Olympic-sized swimming pools.’

Considering their continued growth over the past five years it is likely that the figure today would be even higher. Their continued desire to quash legislation that calls for the labeling of GMO foods equates to an awful lot of people consuming them without their prior knowledge.

Profiling Project Issues Bombshell Report on Seth Rich Murder Investigation

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Profiling Project, an independent, nonpartisan group, has released a lengthy report of its probe into the murder of former DNC staffer Seth Rich. The team, made up of forensic experts and George Washington University graduate students, followed the NYPD’s process for investigating murders.

Wealthy GOP attorney Jack Burkman funded the project. He held a press conference this morning with the team announcing the results thus far. They promised more is to come.

The findings are summarized in the report:

1. Seth’s death does not appear to be a random homicide

2. Seth’s death does not appear to be a robbery gone bad

3. Seth death was more likely committed by a hired killer or serial murderer

4. There may be additional video surveillance of the crime and crime scene

5. The resolution of prosecuting the individual(s) responsible appears to be hindered both actively and passively

6. Seth’s killer(s) most likely remains free within the community

Not a Robbery

Since Rich’s death last July, the D.C. police department has stated its belief he was the victim of a botched robbery. However, the report lists several reasons the murder likely was probably the result of a botched robbery.

First, Rich still had his wallet, watch and other valuables.

Second, it stated, “The crime scene was very organized to the point of being sanitized. This would indicate careful planning on the part of the offender, control of the entry to and exit from the crime scene as well as in-depth understanding of law-enforcement investigative processes.”

The report went on, “With such a sanitized crime scene and no emotional indications, this is not Offenders first kill. … That Offender left a sanitized crime scene is indicative of experience.”

Further, the report notes that Rich’s injuries did not seem to be life threatening when officers arrived. He’d been shot in the back. His father said he was unaware he’d been shot. This strongly suggests there was not a confrontation. The report adds that Rich would very likely would not have resisted a robbery.

Supporters of the police’s botched robbery theory often point out that there had been a series of robberies in Rich’s Bloomingdale neighborhood in the days before his murder. However, the report notes, there were seven arrests linked to those armed robberies. Three guns were recovered. None of those guns matched the ballistics in Rich’s murder. None of the suspects has been directly tied to the Rich murder.

The authors conclude, “We do not believe Offender is a robber, nor a robber who killed.”

Not a Typical D.C. Murder

The report stated that the murder was statistically unusual since Rich was white. There were 66 unsolved homicides in D.C. in 2016. Of them, 62 victims were black. Also, a majority of unsolved homicides stem from other criminal activity involving the victim. A drug deal gone bad, for example. There is no evidence to suggest that this is the case here.

This further points away from a run-of-the-mill street crime. However, those hoping the investigation would confirm suspicions about the potential involvement of Rich’s bosses at the DNC, Hillary Clinton or even the Russians were disappointed.

The report briefly dismisses a connection between the murder as retaliation for Rich possibly leaking DNC emails to Wikileaks. Strangely, the report says that evidence needed to establish this would be poison found in Rich’s system, since the killer didn’t ensure his death. There was virtually no other discussion of the topic than this statement.

Questioning the Official Investigation

The report goes into detail about the law enforcement methods used. There is a section on the type of gun that could have been used. But a frequent complaint is that without further information, the probe can’t go much further.

The report hints that D.C. police may be passively impeding their probe. The Profile Project says police were cooperating with their investigation initially, but stopped. They also note that the police have not released any new information on the case since October.

All requests for release of autopsy, ballistics reports, surveillance footage and police body-camera footage have been rejected. D.C. is one of the many jurisdictions that do not routinely release such information during an open investigation.

On May 30, the Profiling Project sued the District of Columbia, demanding police share the information. The suit further alleges the MPD has “mismanaged” the murder investigation. Click here to read the details of the lawsuit.

Response to the Report

The D.C. police issued a statement, saying “we stand by our opinion that it was a botched robbery.” (“Opinion”?)

The family’s spokesman, Brad Bauman, also responded to the report. He said the findings aren’t “new, credible or otherwise lending credence” to theories around Rich’s death. However, this is is contradicted by the report’s rejection of the botched robbery theory that is the official police position.

It is also worth noting that Bauman is a political consultant for the democratic party and progressive causes. Texas businessman Ed Butowsky, who hired an private investigator to look into the case himself, claims Seth Rich’s father Joe told him “The DNC assigned [Bauman] to us.” Bauman denies being paid by the DNC.

Moving Forward

The Profile Project says it had one goal: to provide the Metropolitan Police Department one piece of new evidence that can be used to help solve the crime. That goal has already been met with the discovery of another surveillance camera found near the murder scene that the police apparently did not know about.

As stated, this was an interim report. Founder Jack Burman promises more reports are to come. One area of interest is Seth Rich’s social media activities, which the Profile Project suggests were far more extensive than previously known. Today’s report alone notes that Rich’s Twitter account was deleted and his Facebook and Reddit were edited.

It was hacker Kim DotCom’s claim last month that he had been involved with Rich in getting DNC emails to WikiLeaks that exploded the case back into the public spotlight.

The Profiling Project is not the only entity outside of law enforcement looking into Rich’s murder. Scott Taylor, an investigative news reporter for ABC 7 in Washington, D.C., is conducting his own probe. An army of internet sleuths hope to crowd-source their way to solving the mystery. Also, Bernie Sanders supporters have filed a lawsuit against the DNC over its attempts to manipulate the primary in favor of Hillary Clinton. The suit references Rich.

A report on that lawsuit will be posted in the near future. (For more from the author of “Profiling Project Issues Bombshell Report on Seth Rich Murder Investigation” please click HERE)

Japan Investigates Delay in Reporting US Navy Ship Collision; Other Mysterious Circumstances Abound

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Mari Yamaguchi. Japan’s coast guard is investigating why it took nearly an hour for a deadly collision between a U.S. Navy destroyer and a container ship to be reported.

A coast guard official said Monday they are trying to find out what the crew of the Philippine-flagged ACX Crystal was doing before reporting the collision off Japan’s coast to authorities 50 minutes later.

The ACX Crystal collided with the USS Fitzgerald off Japan’s coast, killing seven of the destroyer’s crew of nearly 300. The ships collided early Saturday morning, when the Navy said most of the 300 sailors on board would have been sleeping. Authorities have declined to speculate on a cause while the crash remains under investigation. (Read more from “Japan Investigates Delay in Reporting US Navy Ship Collision” HERE)
_______________________

As Japan Investigates, Other Contradictions Emerge

By Zachary Cohen.

[A]fter interviewing the ACX Crystal’s crew, the Japanese coast guard revised its crash time estimate to 1:30 a.m. [But t]he US 7th Fleet is maintaining that the collision occurred at 2:20 a.m. — and both US and Japanese officials have declined to explain why there is a discrepancy regarding timing.

Timing will play a critical role in determining exactly how the collision happened, particularly as the shipping data from Marinetraffic.com appears to indicate that the ACX Crystal made a sharp right turn at close to 1:30 am — the time that the Japanese coast guard said the crash occurred.

On Sunday, Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin, commander of the US 7th Fleet, would not speculate on how the accident occurred, but said there would be multiple investigations into the collision, including one by the Navy’s Judge Advocate General and one by the US Coast Guard.

Other investigations could come from the Japanese and Philippine authorities, because of where the accident took place and the Philippine registration of the container ship. (Read more from Japan Investigates Delay, Other Contradictions Abound, HERE)
