Former CIA Official Arrested after Feds Find $40M Worth of Gold Bars Stashed at His Home: report

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

A former high-ranking CIA official was reportedly busted by the FBI after agents found a mind-blowing fortune that included $40 million worth of gold bars hidden inside his Virginia home.

The feds last week raided the residence of David Rush, uncovering a staggering 303 gold bars, along with 2 million in cash and nearly three dozen luxury Rolex watches, the New York Times reported, citing court documents.

Rush, up until recently a “senior executive service-level employee” at the CIA, reportedly requested the massive haul of gold and foreign currency for “work-related expenses” between November and March.

But when the agency did a routine audit, the assets were missing from official custody, prompting the CIA director to refer the matter to federal investigators.

“After a C.I.A. internal investigation identified potential violations of the law, C.I.A. Director John Ratcliffe referred the information to the F.B.I. for a law enforcement investigation,” the CIA and FBI said in a joint statement to the Times.

CIA Seized JFK, MKUltra Files Out From Under Tulsi Gabbard: Sources

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two intelligence community officials confirmed to the Daily Caller that CIA officials took documents from the JFK and MKUltra files that were being reviewed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for declassification.

A CIA whistleblower testified to the Senate Homeland Security committee on Wednesday that the agency “took back 40 boxes of JFK and MKUltra files” and “illegally monitored the computer and phone usage” of Gabbard’s investigators looking into an alleged cover-up of the origins of Covid-19. Notably, MKUltra was an illegal CIA experiment program that used drugs and psychological torture to develop mind control and interrogation techniques.

NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich reported that “people from the CIA took documents (related to the JFK assassination/MKUltra) from the National Reconnaissance Office *last year* in the middle of the night during the government shutdown and have not returned/is withholding them from ODNI.”

Prior to James Erdmann III’s testimony, CIA spokesperson Liz Lyons claimed the Committee was acting in “bad faith” by not notifying the CIA that he would be testifying. (

“The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul,” Lyons said.

Tulsi Gabbard at Center of Explosive CIA Claim as JFK and MKUltra Files ‘Vanish from Her Office’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tulsi Gabbard is at the center of explosive claims by a whistleblower accusing the CIA of removing files related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the MKUltra mind-control program from her office.

CIA special operations officer James Erdman III, a 20-year veteran of the agency, outlined the accusations during a Wednesday Senate hearing about the origins of Covid-19.

‘When the DIG [Director’s Initiatives Group] ceased operations, the CIA also took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKUltra files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard,’ Erdman claimed.

Republican lawmakers seized on Erdman’s shocking accusations, with Anna Paulina Luna declaring: ‘The CIA has 24 hours to return the documents to Tulsi Gabbard’s office or else I will make a motion to issue a subpoena.’

Luna later clarified that the CIA did not ‘raid’ Gabbard’s office, but did take documents ‘ODNI has jurisdiction over.’ (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard at Center of Explosive CIA Claim as JFK and MKUltra Files ‘Vanish from Her Office’” HERE)

CIA Ran MK-Ultra Experiments on Prisoners of War in U.S. Custody, Declassified Docs Confirm

/0 Comments/in , /by

Korean prisoners of war in the 1950s were subjected to early MK-ULTRA experiments while in American custody, according to recently declassified CIA documents which confirm these experiments for the first time.

The only reporting that previously referenced Koreans being used as guinea pigs for these experiments was journalist John Marks’s landmark 1979 book, The Search for the “Manchurian Candidate.” Using CIA documents, Marks traced the now-infamous MK-ULTRA project to its start, when it was known as Project Bluebird. In the book, Marks describes how, in October 1950, 25 unnamed North Korean POWs were chosen as the first test subjects to receive “advanced” interrogation techniques, with the overt goal of “controlling an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against such fundamental laws of nature as self-preservation.”

While MK-ULTRA is best known for its invasive experimentation — like LSD dosing and torture — the documents confirm Korean POWs were the unwitting subjects of less splashy attempts at mind control, like being subjected to polygraph tests, with plans for other invasive testing.

The declassified documents, which the National Security Archive released between December 2024 and April 2025, are available through a special collection titled “CIA and the Behavioral Sciences: Mind Control, Drug Experiments and MK-ULTRA.” The National Security Archive website states that the collection “brings together more than 1,200 essential records on one of the most infamous and abusive programs in CIA history.”

The first reference to “Project Bluebird” in the NSA’s collection is an office memorandum from April 5, 1950. Addressed to CIA Director Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, the document lays out the project’s goals, required training, and budget, all while emphasizing that knowledge of Project Bluebird “should be restricted to the absolute minimum number of persons.” (Read more from “CIA Ran MK-Ultra Experiments on Prisoners of War in U.S. Custody, Declassified Docs Confirm” HERE)

CIA Officers Reportedly Die After Narco Operation

Two CIA officers were reportedly killed in a serious traffic incident in northern Mexico over the weekend.

The crash, which occurred Sunday in Chihuahua state, also killed two Mexican officials and triggered a review ordered by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum into whether the circumstances surrounding the joint cooperation complied with national security protocols, according to the Washington Post.

The accident occurred as they were returning from activities tied to a major anti-drug enforcement effort, according to individuals familiar with the situation. Mexican authorities reported that the vehicle carrying the four occupants lost control on a roadway, left the pavement, plunged into a ravine, and caught fire; all four were pronounced dead at the scene.

Local officials said the group had earlier participated in follow-up discussions connected to dismantling a large-scale clandestine drug production site in a remote area. While Mexican prosecutors confirmed the Americans were not part of the operational raid itself, they had been involved in related coordination efforts. . .

The attorney general of Chihuahua, César Jáuregui Moreno, described the facility as one of the most significant illicit drug labs uncovered in the region in recent years. The incident comes at a moment of heightened pressure from Washington on Mexican authorities to intensify action against organized crime groups.

C.I.A. Covered Up Cancer Cures — Document Claims Agency Hid Hope for Victims

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A recently surfaced CIA document claims the intelligence agency reviewed Cold War-era research that hinted at potential treatments for cancer 75 years ago – and kept the remarkable report classified for decades, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Now, the outraged public is speaking out and alleging a cruel government cover-up.

The document, which was produced in 1951, discusses an article published in the Soviet scientific journal Priroda by Professor V.V. Alpatov that examines similarities between parasitic worms and malignant tumors.

The Soviet scientist and his colleagues reportedly believed cancerous growths and parasites accumulate large reserves of the stored energy glycogen and flourish under nearly identical metabolic conditions.

Their research cites experiments that show certain chemical compounds could actually target both ailments, including the drug Myracyl D. Other substances, such as Guanozolo – a guanine-like molecule – appeared to interfere with the production of nucleic acid, the chemical building blocks of DNA and RNA, which is essential for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.

CIA faces furious backlash after hidden document with potential cure for cancer is declassified after 60 years

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A newly surfaced CIA document suggests US intelligence once reviewed research that hinted at a possible cancer treatment more than 60 years ago.

The document, produced in February 1951 and declassified in 2014, summarizes a Soviet scientific paper that examined striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancerous tumors.

The report describes how researchers believed both organisms thrived under nearly identical metabolic conditions and accumulated large reserves of glycogen, a form of stored energy.

The research also highlighted experiments showing that certain chemical compounds were capable of targeting both parasitic infections and malignant tumors.

Although the document was declassified more than a decade ago, it has recently resurfaced online, fueling outrage among some Americans who say it raises troubling questions about why Cold War research hinting at possible cancer treatments sat in intelligence archives for decades.

‘The Americans knew. They read it, classified it CONFIDENTIAL, and locked it in a vault for 60 years,’ one person shared on X, including the CIA documents in the post.

CIA Station in Saudi Arabia Housed Within US Embassy in Riyadh Hit By Iran Drone Attack: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

A suspected Iranian drone strike hit the CIA station housed within the US Embassy in Riyadh on Tuesday, according to two people familiar with the matter quoted by The Washington Post. The US and Saudi Arabia confirmed that two drones struck the embassy compound but did not disclose that the CIA’s station was affected.

An internal alert from the United States Department of State, obtained by The Washington Post, said the attack “collapsed” part of the embassy’s roof and “contaminated” interior areas with smoke. The notice said the compound had sustained “structural damage” and that personnel “continue to shelter in place”. The extent of the damage was not immediately clear, and there was no indication that any CIA staff were injured.

While the reported strike represents a setback for the agency’s operations in the kingdom, former CIA officers said such disruptions can be managed.

“Drawdowns are a part of the business,” one former officer who served in the Middle East said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the agency’s work. “The local liaison relationship is so tight I think the Saudis will roll out the red carpet” to accommodate personnel, the former officer added. “There’s a lot of redundancy built into these things.”

Iran has long viewed the CIA as a hostile actor, citing Washington’s covert backing of the 1953 military coup that removed the country’s elected prime minister. (Read more from “CIA Station in Saudi Arabia Housed Within US Embassy in Riyadh Hit By Iran Drone Attack: Report” HERE)

‘It Would Solve the Mystery’: Mike Benz Flags ‘Bombshell’ Detail in Latest Epstein Files Dump

/15 Comments/in , , /by

Former State Department official Mike Benz called the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) response to Jeffrey Epstein’s 2011 FOIA request a “bombshell” during a Tuesday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” . . .

“Jeffrey Epstein was not a public figure at all in 1999. He didn’t come into public awareness, public attention, until 2001, 2002 … he was a private figure in 1999 when he FOIA’d the Central Intelligence Agency for records … anybody who wants to be a hero right now … These are not classified documents,” Benz said. “FOIA responses are not classified. So, anybody right now can FOIA the Central Intelligence Agency for all records and communications related to the CIA’s written communications with Jeffrey Epstein via his lawyer both in 1999 and 2011.”

He then paraphrased the CIA’s 2011 response to Epstein.

“What it says is, ‘We have received your request for your client Jeffrey Epstein’s records search under the Freedom of Information Act. We’ve granted the request to search for all open and acknowledged agency affiliations between Jeffrey Epstein and the CIA,'” he said. “‘We have run that search. And the answer is no documents are responsive to the request.'”

“And then it says in the next paragraph, ‘With respect to your request that touches on classified documents, we can neither confirm nor deny the existence or non-existence of any such documents,'” he continued. “‘So you can consider this a partial denial of your FOIA request.’” (Read more from “‘It Would Solve the Mystery’: Mike Benz Flags ‘Bombshell’ Detail in Latest Epstein Files Dump” HERE)

Ex-CIA ‘Spy Who Lied’ Wants Trump to Expose ‘Horrific’ Biden Havana Syndrome ‘Cover-Up’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A former top CIA officer has revealed he suffered from the mysterious neurological illness known as Havana Syndrome — and wants the Trump administration to expose what he calls the Biden administration’s cover-up of debilitating attacks on US personnel.

Marc Polymeropoulos, a 26-year CIA veteran and ex–senior operations chief who signed the infamous “spies who lie” letter about Hunter Biden’s laptop during the 2020 election campaign, told The Post that the 46th president’s administration perpetrated one of the worst intelligence scandals of modern times.

“The cover-up was horrific,” Polymeropoulos said.

Over the weekend, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made headlines by highlighting the account of a Venezuelan guard protecting dictator Nicolas Maduro. As US forces swooped on Caracas early on Jan. 3 to arrest Maduro on federal drug and weapons charges, Maduro’s guards were subjected to an unknown force that caused them to be incapacitated, bleed through their nose and “vomit blood.”

The Biden administration publicly denied the existence of Havana Syndrome — believed by non-government scientists to have been caused by powerful directed-energy weapons wielded by foreign adversaries such as Russia and Cuba — despite their own intelligence personnel suffering from “unbearable pain,” Polymeropoulos said.

After Trump took office last year, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard tasked her “director’s initiatives group” to investigate “anomalous health incidents” (AHI) — government jargon for Havana Syndrome.
