A major journal continues to be hit with multiple cyberattacks as they publish the largest oncologic safety assessment of the Covid Shots. With over 300 documented vaccine/ turbo cancer cases. Plus two large studies of ten million people showing significant increases of seven types of cancers in the vaccinated. An insidious silent epidemic has been unleashed by the shots and must not be ignored.

🚨 MARIA BARTIROMO JUST BLEW UP THE FOX MACHINE 🚨 She’s been pushing the ICA story. The Obama-era intelligence assessment. The document used to sell Russia collusion. Then Fox went silent. Now she’s out. The Mar-a-Lago raid was sold as “boxes.” The other fight is over who ordered the intelligence hit — and what America was never supposed to see. Obama ordered the ICA. That’s the paper trail Gabbard and others have been waving. Fox didn’t want that chase. Murdoch’s network blinked. This is bigger than one anchor. Declassify the rest. Stop protecting the narrative.

3 Strong Reasons to Say NO to the Bankacherla Project 🚫 1. Historical Betrayal of Telangana’s Water Rights • For the last three decades, CM Chandrababu Naidu has consistently opposed every irrigation project meant for Telangana. • As per the law, Telangana is legally entitled to 968 TMC of Godavari water. CBN must publicly acknowledge this and immediately withdraw his objection to Telangana’s rightful share. 2. Bankacherla is Illegal Without a Scientific Water Assessment • The Godavari Tribunal has already allocated 968 TMC to Telangana and 512 TMC to Andhra Pradesh. • Any project must be taken up only after a scientific and committee-based analysis of Assured and Surplus water. • Based on this assessment, Telangana is entitled to 65% and Andhra to 35% of further allocations. No project can be approved before this process is completed. 3. Telangana’s Krishna Water Share is Still Denied • Telangana is yet to receive 45 TMC of Krishna water as per the 1980 Tribunal, post bifurcation. Why is CBN silent on this injustice? • When 80 TMC of water is diverted from Polavaram to Krishna, the legal share is: Telangana – 45 TMC, Karnataka – 21 TMC, Maharashtra – 14 TMC. • If diversion exceeds 80 TMC, Pro Rata distribution must apply. • CBN now wants to illegally draw 200 TMC, which means Telangana's share should increase to 157 TMC. We challenge you, CBN, to follow the Tribunal’s ruling. We say NO to Bankacherla because it is unconstitutional, unjust, and a betrayal of Telangana’s farmers and future generations. This is a fight for our rightful water. Stand up. Speak out. #bankacherla #WaterRights #telangana

Dr. Ryan Cole Sounds Alarm on mRNA Shots: A Catastrophe Unfolding In a chilling assessment, Dr. Ryan Cole warns of the devastating aftermath of the mRNA injections, which he insists were never vaccines but experimental genetic concoctions. "The biggest problem we'll be fighting for years is chronic autoimmune disease," he declares. These synthetic RNA shots, producing not just spike proteins but "Frankenstein proteins," have unleashed chaos on the immune system, triggering it to attack proteins it was never meant to encounter. The consequences are staggering: global spikes in all-cause mortality, excess sudden deaths, and a surge in aggressive "turbo cancers" that show no signs of slowing. Fertility rates are plummeting in many nations, a silent crisis unfolding. Dr. Cole's gravest concern? The long-term autoimmune fallout, as immune systems, destabilized by these unnatural proteins, spiral out of control. "These were never vaccines," he emphasizes. "They were sold as salvation but delivered suffering." His urgent message: the world must reject synthetic RNA and genetic injections forever. The lesson is clear—humanity cannot afford to repeat this experiment.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Former U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker framed Vladimir Putin's invasion as a direct threat to the structural survival of the Russian state. Volker emphasized that the Kremlin will eventually be forced into a zero-sum choice between maintaining its war of aggression in Ukraine or preserving the internal integrity of the Russian nation. Attempting to sustain both trajectories simultaneously, he argued, will inevitably lead to state breakdown. Volker noted that Putin remains fundamentally blind to this reality, fully committed to his ideological crusade of imperial restoration until his physical and political resources are completely drained. This assessment captures the silent, cumulative damage that long-term war mobilization is inflicting on Moscow's institutional machinery. By converting the state apparatus into a full-time machine for war, the Kremlin is systematically hollowing out its own foundations—draining financial reserves, compounding severe demographic decline, and worsening internal systemic friction just to secure tactical gains in Ukraine. If Putin remains incapable of recognizing where territorial ambition crosses into domestic ruin, his pursuit of an imperial legacy will ultimately transform the war from a foreign policy venture into the primary catalyst for internal collapse.

#WATCH | On the allegations against Adani Group in a US Court, former Attorney General and Senior Counsel Mukul Rohatgi says, "...I have gone through this indictment by the US court. My assessment is that there are 5 charges or 5 counts. Neither in count 1 nor in count 5 is Mr. Adani or his nephew charged. Count number 1 of the indictment is against certain other persons minus the two Adanis. It includes some of their officers and one foreign person...The first allegation is that there is a conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act framed by the US Parliament in that the Adanis are not named, their officers may be named. There are 2 or 3 other counts relating to securities and bonds. In those 3 counts, the Adanis and others are named...This is a chargesheet alleging that these people, including Adanis have bribed Indian officials in Indian entities relating to the supply and purchase of power, but I do not find a single name or a single detail in the chargesheet as to who has been bribed, in what manner has he been bribed and the official belongs to such and such department.

🚨 The silent flood: Canada's hidden immigration crisis While Canadians obsess over the heavily scrutinized Temporary Foreign Worker Program, the real elephant in the room quietly flooding the country with nearly a million temporary workers every year remains completely under the radar. The International Mobility Program (IMP) is the Liberals' favourite backdoor for mass, unmitigated migration. It’s a largely underreported program that is wreaking absolute havoc on Canadian housing, health care, wages, and the future for young Canadians. It comes in stark contrast to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) that dominates in headlines, which requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) for entry. Employers have to prove they can't find Canadians first, through the assessment process. It’s well documented that this is not a foolproof process and that program is riddled with fraud, exploitation and abuse, but the IMP? It doesn’t even need a LMIA! Instead, the IMP is mostly wide open to anyone under international agreements, intra-company transfers, post-grad work permits, spousal open permits, and dozens of exemptions. Non-permanent residents with employment income are broken down into a few different categories under the umbrella of foreign workers with work permits, including the TFWP, the IMB for work purposes, IMB for study purposes, IMB for other purposes, study permit holders without a work permit and “other” temporary residents without a work permit. In the 2025 Report to Parliament on Immigration, Minister Lena Diab approved the message that this is “based on the broader economic, cultural, or other competitive advantages for Canada and reciprocal benefits enjoyed by Canadians and permanent residents.” Yet the surge has been entirely unprecedented. The report notes that “in 2024, there were 191,630 individuals with new work permits under the TFWP” verses a staggering “717,405 individuals with new work permits under the IMP.” That’s more than half a million more people than the TFWP; almost four-times as many! The largest source country for this is influx is India, followed by Ukraine. Year after year, the IMP dwarfs the TFWP, with the disparity growing a staggering amount since at least 2010; numbers that exploded under the Liberal government in 2015. This isn't the controlled, sustainable immigration that Canada historically knew – it’s floodgates wide open. Open work permits (i.e. no LMIA) mean these workers can go anywhere, to any job, because there’s nothing tying them to a specific employer or proven labour shortage. The results of this flood is predictable chaos. Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem called for policy changes in October 2025 to address a lowering standard of living, explaining that productivity growth has been weak, and without structural improvements (which monetary policy cannot directly fix), incomes will end up lower than they otherwise could have been. Canada's temporary resident population ballooned to millions, driving the housing crisis into overdrive, making rent skyrocket, leaving young families priced out and youth not getting entry level jobs. Hospitals are overwhelmed, schools are strained, and federal policy implications from this are being continually downloaded onto provinces and municipalities without adequate resources to absorb the culture shock. Youth unemployment climbs as employers flood the market with cheaper temporary labour. Public polling shows most Canadians now see temporary foreign worker programs – and by extension this unchecked IMP surge – as hammering housing affordability and job prospects for Canadian kids. Yet the Liberals kept the taps on full blast for years, prioritizing 'broader economic benefits' over Canadian workers and communities. This is the same government that lectured us about 'building back better' while importing the scale of a small city every few months without building the infrastructure to match. It's reckless, unsustainable, and it’s hitting everyday Canadians the hardest, especially in our biggest cities and provinces like Ontario that are disproportionately expected to absorb this influx. While the TFWP gets most of the blame and the press, the IMP is the silent predator. It’s bigger, faster, and far less accountable. The Liberals opened these floodgates, and now we're all paying the price with a generation of young Canadians shut out of the housing and job markets their parents took for granted. Elbows up, Canada.

GERMANY’S GAS STORAGE AT 50% IN AUGUST: BLACKOUTS AND FACTORY DEATH AHEAD Former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl delivers a blunt assessment of Europe’s energy and industrial outlook. German gas storage sits at roughly 50 percent in early August — a level that should already be climbing hard toward the 90 percent mark needed before the heating season begins in October. Instead Europe faces a tightening energy noose that is already destroying the industrial base of Germany and Austria. THE ENERGY REALITY CHECK ➡️ Diesel prices in Munich have already hit around 2.50 euros per liter. ➡️ Some filling stations are posting signs that petrol is temporarily unavailable. ➡️ Qatar’s LNG capacity remains partially offline after earlier disruptions, removing a key alternative supply. ➡️ The United States is debating whether to curb its own LNG and diesel exports to protect domestic prices. ➡️ Europe’s remaining options are shrinking fast as winter approaches. THE GAS SHORTAGE COUNTDOWN ➡️ Only August and September remain to rebuild stocks before the heating season starts. ➡️ Normal summer buying at lower prices has failed to deliver the required fill levels. ➡️ A genuine gas shortage in autumn and winter is now the baseline expectation across the continent. ➡️ Secret German government documents already outline preparations for widespread blackouts lasting longer than twelve hours. THE INDUSTRIAL COLLAPSE ➡️ BMW has announced 8,000 job cuts at a company that until recently still looked relatively solid. ➡️ The German automobile industry, long the heart of the national economy, is turning factories into museums. ➡️ Volkswagen has broken its long-standing generational job guarantees. ➡️ Asian competition, AI displacement, and crushing bureaucracy are finishing what high energy costs began. THE AUSTRIAN DOMINO ➡️ Roughly 360,000 Austrian jobs are tied directly or indirectly to the German auto sector. ➡️ Key suppliers in Styria and elsewhere now sit on the edge as German production shrinks. ➡️ Even traditional Austrian industrial sites such as the Lenzing fiber plants are under severe pressure. ➡️ What begins as German factory closures quickly becomes Austrian mass unemployment. THE BOTTOM LINE Europe is walking into winter with critically low gas reserves while its most important industrial engines are already shutting down. Germany and Austria will feel the damage first and hardest. The economic future of both countries is being decided right now by empty storage tanks and silent production lines. #EnergyCrisis #GermanIndustry #AustriaJobs #GasShortage #BlackoutRisk #BMWCuts #Deindustrialization HT: YouTube Flavio von Witzleben

Following the widespread and organized suppression of the Iranian National Revolution, Iran International has obtained information that demonstrates the dimensions of this unprecedented crime. On this occasion, the editorial board of Iran International has published a statement declaring that the killing of 12,000 Iranian citizens will not be buried in silence. The text of this statement is as follows: Iran has plunged into an organized blackout, the goal of which is not merely security control but the concealment of the truth. The widespread internet shutdown, the paralyzing of communications, the unprecedented closure of media outlets, and the intimidation of journalists and witnesses have one meaning: preventing the observation, recording, and tracking of a massive and historic crime. In recent days, after receiving scattered but agonizing and shocking reports, Iran International employed its utmost efforts to reach a more precise assessment of the dimensions of the severe suppression and ruthless killing of people in the protests of the past days through professional verification. In a country where the government deliberately blocks the path of access to information, reaching this assessment is a difficult and time-consuming task, especially since haste in announcing incomplete casualty statistics could lead to errors in recording reality and distorting the dimensions of this great tragedy. Since Sunday, the volume of evidence and the overlapping of narratives reached a level where a relatively clear picture could be obtained. Over the past day, the editorial board of Iran International has reviewed information received from a source close to the Supreme National Security Council, two sources in the Presidential Office, narratives received from several sources in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the cities of Mashhad, Kermanshah, and Isfahan, narratives of eyewitnesses and families of the killed, field reports, data related to medical centers, and information that doctors and nurses in various cities have provided to us, in a precise, multi-stage manner and based on professional standards. By summarizing these reviews, we reached the conclusion that in the largest killing in contemporary Iranian history, mainly on two consecutive nights, Thursday and Friday, the 8th and 9th of January, at least 12,000 people have been murdered. This killing is unprecedented in the history of Iran in terms of geographical extent, intensity of violence, and the number of victims in a short period of time. Based on information reaching Iran International, these citizens were murdered mainly at the hands of the forces of the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij. This killing was completely organized, not scattered and unplanned clashes. Information reaching Iran International from the Supreme National Security Council and the Presidential Office shows that this killing took place with the order of Ali Khamenei personally, the knowledge and approval of the heads of the three branches of government, and the issuance of a direct fire order by the Supreme National Security Council; many of the victims were youths under 30 years old. The estimate of the number of killed based on existing data and the cross-referencing of information obtained from reliable sources, including from the Supreme National Security Council and the Presidential Office, indicates that the initial estimate of the security institutions of the Islamic Republic is that at least 12,000 people have been murdered in this nationwide killing. It is obvious that in conditions of communication blockage and lack of direct access to information, arriving at final statistics requires more precise documentation. The experience of recent years shows that security institutions have always refrained from recording and announcing precise statistics of victims through concealment. Iran International commits to making these statistics more precise with the help of its audience and through the path of gathering documents, cross-referencing narratives, and continuous verification so that no name is lost and the family of no victim remains voiceless. Regarding the status of communications and media, domestic media have been closed down. Hundreds of national and local newspapers went silent starting Thursday in an event unprecedented in the history of the Iranian press. Today, except for the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, only a few news websites are active inside the country, and even they work under censorship and direct control of security institutions. This situation is not a sign of crisis control; it is the government's admission of fear regarding the exposure of the truth. Call for sending documents: Iran International asks all compatriots inside and outside the country to send us any document, video, photo, audio narrative, information related to victims, medical centers, locations of conflict, time and place of occurrence, and any verifiable details of the events of the past few days. The security of sources and confidentiality of information is our definite priority. Iran International, after verification and precise assessment of information, will publish its findings and place them at the disposal of all relevant international authorities and institutions. The Islamic Republic cannot hide this crime by cutting off the connection of the Iranian people with the world. The truth will be recorded, the names of the victims will be preserved, and this massacre will not be buried in silence. These immortals belong not only to their grieving families and loved ones but to the Iranian National Revolution. The Editorial Board of Iran International.

🆘 12/6/26 - Ebright Supports Kat: Top Scientist Sounds Alarm Over Risky Fouchier Research 🧵1/2 “THIS IS THE PENTAGON CALLING — ERASMUS MC EXPOSED: NO MEDICAL SCIENCE, BUT WEAPON FACTORY” In 2011, when Ron Fouchier achieved the world’s first gain-of-function breakthrough with the H5N1 bird flu virus, he was participating in a U.S.-directed bioweapons development program overseen by Anthony Fauci at the NIH and the Pentagon. This assessment does not come from a conspiracy theorist but from Professor Richard H. Ebright, one of America’s most respected experts in biosafety and biosecurity. After investigative journalist Micha Kat revealed in his recent series on Erasmus MC, The Factory of Death, that direct contact had occurred between the Pentagon and Erasmus MC following Fouchier’s breakthrough, Ebright goes further. He states that the entire project had a military objective from the outset — not to heal people, but to develop the capacity to kill large segments of the world’s population through engineered pandemics and killer viruses. Ebright, Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University and Director of the Waksman Institute of Microbiology, is a heavyweight in his field. He graduated summa cum laude from Harvard, earned his PhD there, has published more than 160 peer-reviewed scientific papers, holds dozens of patents, and has received numerous prestigious awards, including from the NIH and the American Academy of Microbiology. For decades, Ebright has warned about the dangers of gain-of-function research — experiments that deliberately make viruses more contagious or lethal. He views such work as exceeding the limits of legitimate defensive biodefense research and has long called for far stricter international controls on high-containment laboratories. In his view, this type of dual-use research unnecessarily endangers the entire world. Micha Kat knows these risks intimately. The Dutch investigative journalist, who previously took on powerful figures in the Dutch judiciary, exposed serious misconduct involving Vice President Hans Westenberg of the Hague District Court. After years of legal battles, Kat won: Westenberg was ordered to pay damages for abuse of process — a rare victory for an independent journalist. Kat refuses to be silenced. Despite lawsuits, professional isolation, and mainstream media avoidance, he has continued his research since 2012 into the “Osterhaus group” and the high-risk virus work at Erasmus MC. Many in both mainstream and alternative Dutch circles have kept their distance, yet he persists as a symbol of determination against powerful institutional interests. Now Kat receives powerful, unexpected support from across the Atlantic. Professor Ebright — a scientist of unimpeachable integrity and authority — confirms that concerns about this line of research are entirely justified. While Dutch newspapers and talk shows remain silent, an international authority is raising the alarm about the proliferation of risky research and inadequate safety oversight. At a time when pandemics and laboratory incidents are no longer theoretical threats, this endorsement is highly significant. It demonstrates that critical questions about gain-of-function research and the roles of Fauci and Fouchier are not fringe concerns but part of a serious, growing debate among genuine experts. For years, Kat stood largely alone. With Ebright now standing beside him, his warning carries substantially greater weight.

8/6/26 - FACTORY OF DEATH PART IV: BIOWEAPONS FROM ORANGE 🍊. HOW ‘PUBLIC HEALTH’ BECOMES A RECIPE FOR BIOTERRORISM🧵1/2 In 2011, scientists led by Ron Fouchier at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam mutated the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus in such a way that it became airborne transmissible between ferrets — the standard animal model used at Erasmus MC for human flu. Fouchier himself described the result as “probably one of the most dangerous viruses you could make.” The project was partly funded with American money through the NIH of Anthony Fauci. When the results were made public, a global crisis erupted. The American National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) recommended that the critical details not be published. Why hand terrorists or states with malicious intent a blueprint for a deadly, highly transmissible virus? A temporary publication moratorium followed, along with a pause on gain-of-function research: the deliberate making of viruses more contagious or more lethal, all under the banner of pandemic preparedness. Yet the work continued. In 2013, Fouchier, together with Yoshihiro Kawaoka and others, openly advocated for new gain-of-function experiments with the emerging H7N9 bird flu virus from China. Ferrets were again used, and transmission was studied. This was textbook dual-use research: on paper, it was for vaccines and pandemic preparedness; in practice, it was a pathway to catastrophic knowledge that could lead to laboratory accidents and/or bioterrorism. Dutch virologists such as Fouchier, Ab Osterhaus, Marion Marion Koopmans, publications: and their network play a striking international role. While at home it is presented as noble public-health work under the heading of pandemic preparedness, Dutch methods, knowledge and killer viruses flow to American institutions with direct ties to defence and biodefence. After all, the NSABB structurally includes officials from the Pentagon, intelligence services and Homeland Security at the table. Public health on the front, national security on the back. Dutch taxpayers, through institutes such as Erasmus MC, subsidise work that has military relevance. Transparency? It is nowhere to be found. A small circle of experts risks global consequences in the name of science — and no, this is not a closed chapter. Later this week, Micha Kat dives deeper into how the very same Dutch virological networks and animal models that are central to this gain-of-function circuit also played a surprising role in a concrete, well-documented spillover incident involving SARS-CoV-2. Hamsters from the Netherlands that carried the virus to humans. Mass euthanasia. Import bans. Questions about risk assessment that remain unanswered to this day. And last but not least: will the Dutch parliamentary inquiry committee on COVID19 call crown witness Vincent Munster? Why did the Netherlands remain silent while a proven zoonotic chain arose from its own exports? What role did the experts who work with precisely these animal models every day play? And how blind was the system really to reverse spillover and the pet trade as a potential variant factory? The parliamentary inquiry committee on COVID19 still has work to do. This story is bigger than one lab, one virus or one crisis. It is about how “public health” can structurally become a recipe for bioterrorism risks — with Dutch assistance. In Part V of the series “The FACTORY OF DEATH,” Micha Kat 🇧🇷 reports on the Syrian Mesocricetus auratus, “The killer Hamsters of Orange.”

1. You are not going to silence me from criticizing CAB3 and examining the architects who want to use it to catapult themselves into public office, by saying I am bitter because: 2. Kuda and Junior were the ones who looked for me after being tasked by the President to get me to fight sanctions, fix Kuda’s damaged image, pay for legal bills to fight SA banks that were implementing sanctions, and compensate me for work done. 3. I did my job, removed sanctions, but he did not complete paying the legal bills and he did not compensate me. So Kuda owes me for the expertise that the President sent him to seek me out for. Demanding such money is not being bitter; it is demanding payment for work done to avoid prescription of the debt, because debt can expire in 3 years if you don’t demand it. 4. If all I was good at is speaking English, why would the President need to send his son, Kuda, the CIO, and his ambassador to look for me to do a job they paid over $4.5 million to lobbyists who failed, yet he could have used you or anyone else? 5. There is nothing you have done in your life that beats me removing sanctions by getting the UN to come and measure the impact of sanctions, us using that report of the UN to go to court against the U.S. President and getting him (the most powerful man in the world) to respond to our papers in South African courts, which convinced the South African government to champion the fight against US sanctions on Zim, and then getting Congress to contact me and accept to do an impact assessment that I asked them to do, which led them (the same body that asked for sanctions through ZDERA) to write a report asking Biden to remove sanctions, and sanctions were removed. 6. You, Kuda, intelligence, and government officials were not smart enough to do that, but I did it with such simplicity, hence you take it for granted. In other countries I would have been paid millions and then a yearly royalty till my death, because removing sanctions saves millions of lives and brings in hundreds of billions, hence the economy immediately jumped from $28 billion to $53 billion after the removal of sanctions. Saka Usanyombe! 7. What I achieved is something the President looked for me specifically to do, and I did it successfully. You and no one in Zimbabwe or anywhere in the world has ever achieved that. So don’t tell me about you having more money than me just because you are a criminal who is willing to smuggle gold, launder money, and engage in other organized crimes while iI work for my money legitimately. Anyone can do what you do, hence everyone can’t understand why you. But some of us understand the occult and satanic things that take place in the background that make you get money while us who do the real work get nothing. 8. On 13 October 2025, Kuda called me to ask me why I was silent about Geza’s protest when he was pushing for his last protest. I told him I was not interested in fighting Geza anymore, and he persuaded me to come and get money and a Land Cruiser. He didn’t deliver despite the dangers I faced in fighting Geza’s sentiments. I left him like that since and never spoke about it. 9. Then in March I said I did not support CAB3. Kuda sent death threats through a mutual business friend and began to get people to attack me ON SOCIAL MEDIA, claiming that I was extorting him. He started the fight on social media, not me. He also got them to say I was a CIA agent and bitter that I was not paid $1 million for supporting CAB3. 10. This left me with no choice but to defend my integrity, something you know nothing about. So I have merely responded to his false allegations and exposed the nature of our relationship. 11. Since then, people from his office and strangers have phoned me asking for a ceasefire. So Kuda/the President owe me for work that they commissioned me to do. How is it bitterness when I simply reciprocate? How am I trying to negotiate on social media when he started the war on social media?

For the last decade, the media has called the idea that America is ruled by a secret government of deep state intelligence agencies like the CIA and FBI a "right-wing conspiracy theory." Journalists at outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and NPR have portrayed claims about a “deep state” as paranoid fabrications pushed by Donald Trump and his supporters to discredit legitimate government institutions. They insisted that accusations of political bias or covert influence by agencies like the CIA or FBI had no basis in fact and served only to inflame public distrust. And yet over the same period, investigative reporting, including by the two of us, and official disclosures revealed that these agencies interfered in domestic politics in ways that aligned with that very narrative. The FBI launched a surveillance operation against the Trump campaign based on unverified opposition research. Dozens of former intelligence officials falsely claimed the Hunter Biden laptop story bore the “classic earmarks” of Russian disinformation, just weeks before the 2020 election. The Department of Homeland Security, along with the FBI and other agencies, coordinated with social media platforms to suppress speech under the banner of combating “misinformation.” These actions, taken together, suggest not a shadowy cabal, but a real and expanding infrastructure of state-aligned influence aimed at shaping public perception and countering populist dissent, just as the so-called conspiracy theorists claimed. The strongest argument against the existence of a secret government run by the deep state was the re-election of Donald Trump in 2024. If agencies like the CIA, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security truly exercised covert and unchecked control over American politics, it is difficult to explain how their most outspoken critic, and avowed enemy, returned to power. Trump did not merely criticize the intelligence community; he ran on a platform promising its reform. He vowed to purge partisan operatives, dismantle what he called politically weaponized agencies, and hold officials accountable for a pattern of lawless interference. And despite his direct confrontation with the national security establishment, Trump defeated Kamala Harris decisively, winning 312 electoral votes and a narrow popular vote majority. But now the Trump administration is attempting to sweep the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal under the rug, with the Justice Department claiming that there is no client list and that no further disclosure is warranted, even though Attorney General Pam Bondi explicitly stated publicly that there were “tens of thousands of videos” which means the ability to identify the individuals involved in sex with minors, and that anyone in the Epstein files who tries to keep their name private has “no legal basis to do so.” On April 28, 2025, in a candid off-the-record exchange caught on video, Bondi told a bystander, “There are tens of thousands of videos… and it’s all with little kids.” She later reiterated on May 7 that these were “videos of Epstein with children or child porn.” Bondi’s comments directly contradicted the official stance of the administration, which has dismissed calls for a client list and slowed efforts to release the full contents of the Epstein files. Despite Trump’s campaign promises to dismantle the deep state and hold elites accountable, his administration now appears to be protecting the same intelligence and law enforcement networks it once condemned. Strong evidence suggests that Epstein was part of a sex blackmail operation tied to intelligence agencies. Visitor logs show that William Burns, who served as CIA Director under President Biden, visited Epstein’s New York townhouse multiple times. The Wall Street Journal reported those visits in 2023 based on Epstein’s private calendar. In 2017, Alex Acosta, the Justice Department official who gave Epstein his 2008 plea deal, told Trump transition officials that he was told to back off Epstein because he “belonged to intelligence.” The Justice Department later admitted that all eleven months of Acosta’s emails from that period had disappeared. This failure to follow through seriously undermines Trump’s explicit commitments to reform and shine light on the deep state. This is not just about Epstein. The Trump administration has not been particularly transparent about much else. The CIA, to its credit, released an internal evaluation last week admitting it had erred in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment by claiming that Russia “aspired to” help elect Trump. But it stood by the overall assessment, signaling the agency’s reluctance to admit fault, its continued defensiveness in the face of mounting evidence, and its impunity. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has disclosed a limited amount of information about intelligence community abuses during the pandemic, including the targeting of COVID vaccine dissenters as potential violent extremists. But beyond that, the Trump administration has released very little, even on issues where transparency would appear to be in its political interest. The administration has kept classified large volumes of material related to COVID origins, the FBI’s role in Russiagate, the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, and unidentified anomalous phenomena. It is thus hard not to conclude that the intelligence community continues to operate in violation of the constitutional system of checks and balances by evading meaningful congressional oversight. The Constitution grants Congress the power and responsibility to oversee the executive branch, including intelligence agencies, through budgetary control, public hearings, and access to classified information. And yet the intelligence community is withholding and heavily redacting documents, delaying responses to lawful inquiries, and using national security classifications to avoid scrutiny. This persistent obstruction undermines the legislative branch’s ability to hold agencies accountable and distorts the balance of power the framers designed. When unelected intelligence officials can withhold information not only from the public but from elected representatives, constitutional oversight becomes a formality rather than a functioning safeguard. Few independent journalists have done more than we have to defend Donald Trump and the MAGA movement against the weaponization of the intelligence community and deep state agencies. Over the past two and a half years, we have published hundreds of investigative articles and testified before Congress about unconstitutional abuses of power by the CIA, FBI, DHS, and their proxies. We exposed efforts to censor Trump and his supporters through a sprawling Censorship Industrial Complex, documented the manipulation of the justice system to prosecute Trump on politicized grounds, and revealed how U.S. and foreign agencies coordinated mass surveillance of speech. We defended Trump from false and malicious claims, showed that his administration obeyed court orders, and disproved the narrative that he violated democratic norms more than Democrats. We were the first to report new evidence that President Obama’s CIA Director ordered spying on Trump campaign officials to justify surveillance and interfere in the 2016 election. After Trump’s reelection, we published investigations revealing abuses of power by USAID and the Department of Education. We editorialized in support of his lawful executive orders ending DEI and gender-affirming procedures for minors. We exposed the CIA and USAID’s role in supporting the 2019 impeachment effort and their connection to the Russia collusion hoax. In all this, we have consistently made the case that Trump’s victory was not just political, it was moral. Given all we have done to expose the Censorship Industrial Complex and intelligence community abuses of power, Public’s readers rightly expect us to follow through on these concerns, no matter who holds office. We did not spend years documenting unconstitutional secrecy, surveillance, and coercion only to remain silent when the administration we defended begins to mirror the behavior we condemned. Our commitment is not to any one leader or party, but to the Constitution, to civil liberties, and to the principle that no government, Democratic or Republican, should be allowed to rule through secrecy, coercion, or fear. To prove it is not simply the latest custodian of the deep state, the Trump administration must release the Epstein videos and related evidence, fully expose the scope of the sex trafficking and apparent IC blackmail operation, and ensure that every perpetrator, regardless of power or position, is held accountable under the law. It must also release the long-withheld files on COVID origins, Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, January 6, unidentified aerial phenomena, and other topics. Even if these files do not reveal any “smoking guns,” the public has a right to full transparency. Only through this transparency can the credibility of the intelligence community be restored. Congress must step up as well. Legislative leaders must hold public hearings on each of these issues, issue subpoenas if necessary, and demand full executive branch compliance with oversight. The Constitution grants Congress, not the intelligence agencies, the power to check secrecy, correct abuse, and uphold the rule of law. These are not matters of political convenience but constitutional obligation. The American people have the right to know what their government has done in their name and against their rights. If the Trump administration fails to act, it will confirm the fear that even the most populist and combative president can be captured or neutralized by the very system he vowed to dismantle. And it will lose much of the legitimacy it gained by surviving and overcoming the lawfare, censorship, and weaponization of the deep state against it. Many within the Trump administration acknowledge this and note that this is hardly the end of the Epstein affair. “This is a total fucking disaster,” someone within the Intelligence Community told us this afternoon, as we were going to press with this editorial. After we pointed out that the Attorney General said one thing and now the Justice Department, FBI Director, and Deputy FBI Director are all saying the opposite, the person said, “I hope you ask these questions. These are the questions that need to be asked. We’re in a time when information flows more freely. If people think that this is going to go away — I don’t see how it can.” Nor, we would add, should it.

It is thus hard not to conclude that the intelligence community continues to operate in violation of the constitutional system of checks and balances by evading meaningful congressional oversight. The Constitution grants Congress the power and responsibility to oversee the executive branch, including intelligence agencies, through budgetary control, public hearings, and access to classified information. And yet the intelligence community is withholding and heavily redacting documents, delaying responses to lawful inquiries, and using national security classifications to avoid scrutiny. This persistent obstruction undermines the legislative branch’s ability to hold agencies accountable and distorts the balance of power the framers designed. When unelected intelligence officials can withhold information not only from the public but from elected representatives, constitutional oversight becomes a formality rather than a functioning safeguard. Few independent journalists have done more than we have to defend Donald Trump and the MAGA movement against the weaponization of the intelligence community and deep state agencies. Over the past two and a half years, we have published hundreds of investigative articles and testified before Congress about unconstitutional abuses of power by the CIA, FBI, DHS, and their proxies. We exposed efforts to censor Trump and his supporters through a sprawling Censorship Industrial Complex, documented the manipulation of the justice system to prosecute Trump on politicized grounds, and revealed how U.S. and foreign agencies coordinated mass surveillance of speech. We defended Trump from false and malicious claims, showed that his administration obeyed court orders, and disproved the narrative that he violated democratic norms more than Democrats. We were the first to report new evidence that President Obama’s CIA Director ordered spying on Trump campaign officials to justify surveillance and interfere in the 2016 election. After Trump’s reelection, we published investigations revealing abuses of power by USAID and the Department of Education. We editorialized in support of his lawful executive orders ending DEI and gender-affirming procedures for minors. We exposed the CIA and USAID’s role in supporting the 2019 impeachment effort and their connection to the Russia collusion hoax. In all this, we have consistently made the case that Trump’s victory was not just political, it was moral. Given all we have done to expose the Censorship Industrial Complex and intelligence community abuses of power, Public’s readers rightly expect us to follow through on these concerns, no matter who holds office. We did not spend years documenting unconstitutional secrecy, surveillance, and coercion only to remain silent when the administration we defended begins to mirror the behavior we condemned. Our commitment is not to any one leader or party, but to the Constitution, to civil liberties, and to the principle that no government, Democratic or Republican, should be allowed to rule through secrecy, coercion, or fear. To prove it is not simply the latest custodian of the deep state, the Trump administration must release the Epstein videos and related evidence, fully expose the scope of the sex trafficking and apparent IC blackmail operation, and ensure that every perpetrator, regardless of power or position, is held accountable under the law. It must also release the long-withheld files on COVID origins, Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, January 6, unidentified aerial phenomena, and other topics. Even if these files do not reveal any “smoking guns,” the public has a right to full transparency. Only through this transparency can the credibility of the intelligence community be restored. Congress must step up as well. Legislative leaders must hold public hearings on each of these issues, issue subpoenas if necessary, and demand full executive branch compliance with oversight. The Constitution grants Congress, not the intelligence agencies, the power to check secrecy, correct abuse, and uphold the rule of law. These are not matters of political convenience but constitutional obligation. The American people have the right to know what their government has done in their name and against their rights. If the Trump administration fails to act, it will confirm the fear that even the most populist and combative president can be captured or neutralized by the very system he vowed to dismantle. And it will lose much of the legitimacy it gained by surviving and overcoming the lawfare, censorship, and weaponization of the deep state against it. Many within the Trump administration acknowledge this and note that this is hardly the end of the Epstein affair. “This is a total fucking disaster,” someone within the Intelligence Community told us this afternoon, as we were going to press with this editorial. After we pointed out that the Attorney General said one thing and now the Justice Department, FBI Director, and Deputy FBI Director are all saying the opposite, the person said, “I hope you ask these questions. These are the questions that need to be asked. We’re in a time when information flows more freely. If people think that this is going to go away — I don’t see how it can.” Nor, we would add, should it.
