    This is signal. This man almost single handedly changed how elections ARE ADMINISTERED in America.

    Up and including allegedly threatening members serving on election boards.

    September 24, 2024, right before the election he sent out the letters. “Georgia Election Board member Janice Johnston said on Monday, September 24, 2024 that it appears that a number of election officials in Georgia have been concerned about investigating voter challenges after Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias sent letters threatening legal action if challenges were upheld.”

    Guess how he pays for all this? Easy Arabella Advisors Hopeful Fund. Funded in part by uber slob and good friend of Epstein Reid Hoffman.

    Ukraine’s former energy minister was detained Sunday after authorities removed him from a train at the border as he allegedly attempted to flee the country, a source has confirmed to Fox News Digital.

    Herman Halushchenko’s arrest, the source said, followed requests from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) and marked an uptick in an anti-corruption probe engulfing the political spectrum.

    THE “ELON” FACTOR:

    Starmer’s Censorship Hits the Wall as US Tech Giants Intervene!

    The emergency legal injunction from No. 10 didn’t just fail—it backfired on a global scale.

    As Keir Starmer’s team worked through the night to “scrub” the Katie Hopkins video from UK servers, a massive response came from across the ocean.

    Late last night, a major US tech platform (X) officially declined to comply with the British “D-Notice,” citing First Amendment protections.

    Within hours, the banned footage was “pinned” to the top of every feed, rendering the UK censorship order completely useless. Katie Hopkins appeared on a massive US news broadcast, laughing at the attempt to silence her: “Keir, you forgot one thing—the internet doesn’t have a border, and freedom of speech is a global currency.”

    While Starmer faces a diplomatic nightmare with Washington over “Digital Sovereignty,” Nigel Farage has landed in Parliament Square, welcoming the first wave of protesters. The “Digital Iron Curtain” that Starmer tried to build has been torn down by a single click from Silicon Valley.

    The rally isn’t just about Katie anymore—it’s now a global movement for the right to speak.

  5. Just The News: “The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has delivered a legally required 6-page report to Congress that lists hundreds of government officials, public figures and other politically exposed people named in documents tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

    In the same letter, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche defended redactions made during the release of millions of pages of federal records related to Epstein. The letter was sent Saturday to senior members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. 

    DOJ said the document fulfills reporting requirements under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was enacted last year to compel the department to disclose redaction practices and identify all persons referenced in materials released to the public.

    The agency emphasized that a person’s inclusion on the list does not imply wrongdoing or direct connection to criminal activity. Officials also said that all records in the department’s possession that relate to Epstein were released, subject to redaction standards.”

  6. EXCERPT: “U.S. Senate Republicans have introduced a bill targeting companies that invest in lawsuits, proposing rules that would force them to identify themselves and refrain from interfering with settlements.

    Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, John Kennedy of Louisiana and John Cornyn of Texas filed the Litigation Funding Transparency Act. The businesses that would be affected are called third-party litigation funders (TPLF) and provide money up-front to plaintiffs lawyers in exchange for a percentage of whatever is recovered in court.

    These arrangements worry some who feel they give investors who aren’t parties in court proceedings control over them. For example, Burford Capital is now allowed to challenge a $50 million settlement between Sysco Corp. and poultry producer Pilgrim’s Pride.

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit last week found problems with the execution with the settlement, which Burford felt wasn’t large enough. The company is the world’s largest third-party lawsuit investor, and its fight with Sysco, its own client, has complicated the case for years…..”

    There have been 27 versions of the flag, and for many years the official design was actually not standardized and could vary by flag maker.

    They have thousands of hours of transcribed and searchable conversations of Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk.

    They have backdoored the devices, cars and jets of world leaders and accumulated the biggest archive of blackmail material.

    Palantir is creating nuclear and bio weapon capabilities for Ukraine and is working closely with the CIA to defeat Russia. They believe they are one year away. They plan to achieve this by keeping Russia busy with meaningless peace negotiations.

    Palantir is responsible of the majority of Palestinian deaths in Gaza. They have developed the AI targeting for Israel.

    Palantir is an arm of the CIA and all data from international clients is copied into a CIA spy cloud.

    Palantir has become the most dangerous company in the world. If you work there you have the right to know that this is what Palentir AI is used for, without your knowledge.

    BOMBSHELL: Thomas Massie UNFOLLOWS

    Diligent Denizen over investigation into Epstein’s Zorro Ranch’s new owner, Don Huffines: “You’re barking up the wrong tree […] I’m not touching this!”

    Diligent was investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, when he came across a very familiar name: Don Huffines. Huffines ran for TX Governor in 2022, who Massie endorsed, & is currently a candidate for TX Comptroller. Huffines is also is a Rand Paul megadonor & has donated to Massie’s campaign in the past, as well. Massie & Huffines are friends.

    Zorro Ranch, now known as San Rafael Ranch as of 2023, was where a majority of Epstein’s trafficking, abuse & experimentations unfolded. It’s also said in the files that there were several young girls buried on the property, who died due to the extreme abuse inflicted on them. But for some reason, it was never raided by the FBI after Epstein’s arrest.

    For years prior to his arrest, Epstein was boasting to top scientists that this ranch was being used as a baby factory. The current owner, who purchased this property for some reason, owns HEST (Huffines Enterprises Science & Technology). HEST is an investor in Secretome, a biotech company that uses cardiac cells from the hearts of babies under 30 days old. Interesting.

    Back to Diligent, he messaged Massie this information, & the way Massie responded was deeply shocking to him: “My jaw hit the floor. The response I got from Massie when I showed him who owned the ranch, made my heart sink to my stomach.” He continued, “Because I am [investigating Zorro Ranch’s current owner], [Thomas Massie] doesn’t even want to be associated with me. He f*cking unfollowed me for covering this story.”

    Now why would someone who is on a very public crusade to get the Epstein Files released, unfollow a journalist for investigating Zorro Ranch & its new owner? You’d think he’d be grateful for the tip. Furthermore, why would Mr. Principles want to discourage a journalist from investigating his friend?

    As stated earlier in this post, Thomas Massie is a friend of Don Huffines. He endorsed Huffines’ Gubernatorial run in 2022 (receipts in the replies), had Massie visit him for a few days in TX in April 2024, & has been a Rand Paul Megadonor for years.

    Thomas Massie’s outrage over Epstein is very selective. His associates & donors get a pass, but anyone else either remotely associated with Trump, or having possible ties to the Super PAC formed to take him down (MAGA KY), is being relentlessly targeted by him. This is all about his campaign.

    If Massie had nothing to hide, he would have welcomed Diligent’s information. Perhaps, put him in touch with Huffines to give his side of the story. Instead, he shut it down by telling Diligent that he’s barking up the wrong tree.

    For someone that says he wants everything out there about the Epstein Files, you’d think he’d want to bark up every single tree for answers, but I guess when someone gives tens of thousands to his best friend, that someone becomes off-limits.

  16. 🌋 Yellowstone’s 19-Mile Bulge: The Supervolcano Is Moving

    “A 19-mile-wide bulge is growing beneath Yellowstone. The ground has risen more than an inch since last summer. That may not sound like much. But when an entire section of Earth’s crust lifts upward, it means something massive is moving far below. Magma doesn’t knock. It pushes. Meanwhile today:

    • A famous “Lovers’ Arch” collapsed into the sea
    • A massive sinkhole swallowed farmland in Indonesia
    • A comet erupted in space and formed a spiral
    • And a cosmic nebula revealed how stars die

    Earth is shifting. Space is erupting. And Yellowstone is breathing. Scientists confirmed that a 19-mile-wide uplift zone is expanding along Yellowstone’s northern caldera rim. The cause? Magma moving roughly 9 miles beneath the surface. Not erupting. Not rising toward eruption. Just shifting. Key facts:

    • Yellowstone has erupted three times in 2.1 million years
    • The last eruption was 631,000 years ago
    • The magma chamber today is only 5–15% molten
    • Alert level remains NORMAL / GREEN

    This type of uplift has happened before:

    • 1996–2004
    • 2004–2020
    • And now again since 2025

    This isn’t eruption warning. It’s pressure breathing. Yellowstone is alive. And alive things move…”

    EPSTEIN FILES Were Compromised to Frame the Innocent – Protect the Guilty – But Trump Already Knew! TRUMP CARD https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f6a8.svg

    Read carefully. You’re not juts watching a cover-up. You’re watching a counter-coup.

    The Deep State cabal, spanning the Clinton, Obama, and Biden regimes knew exactly what was coming if Trump became President again.

    They knew President Trump was coming back in 2024.

    They knew they couldn’t rig the election again.

    They knew the Epstein files would be released under his second term.

    And they knew that the moment that happened…

    The global house of cards would collapse.

    Child trafficking. Blackmail. Intelligence operations.

    The entire infrastructure behind the New World Order, gone!

    So they did what snakes do when cornered:

    They took a corrupted Epstein investigation and rewrote it.

    They destroyed original evidence.

    They planted new evidence to frame President Trump and other white hats.

    They weaponized the narrative in advance.

    So when Trump returned, the “evidence” would show he was guilty…

    Not the real predators like Podesta, Clinton, Huma, Schiff, Schumer, and Obama.

    But what they didn’t expect…

    Was that Trump already knew.

    He knew the investigation was tainted.

    He knew the files were compromised.

    He knew the deep state had an endgame strategy to flip the narrative against him.

    So he played his Trump Card.

    Epstein didn’t kill himself. He was placed into WITSEC under 18 U.S. Code § 3521.

    That’s not a theory. That’s a strategic application of federal law.

    Trump secured Epstein, flipped him as an informant, and moved him into Witness Protection to preserve the truth.

    Why?

    Because Trump didn’t need the corrupted evidence. He needed the source.

    Epstein is the primary witness to the largest RICO investigation ever launched in U.S. history.

    A sting operation that will dismantle:

    -Elite trafficking networks

    -Compromised intelligence agencies

    -Globalist money laundering channels

    -Fake NGOs and “human rights” fronts

    -High-value political operatives from both parties

    And now the enemy is panicking.

    Enter: Ghislaine Maxwell.

    A deep-state asset activated to run interference, the insurance policy.

    She’s now demanding a deal to testify in front of Congress.

    Why now?

    Because they know Epstein flipped and they know hr is not dead.

    They know the real investigation is closing in.

    So they sent Ghislaine to corrupt the narrative again, apply pressure to inflame a psyop narrative.

    To implicate Trump and protect the guilty.

    But notice who she never names:

    Not Podesta.

    Not Hillary.

    Not Huma.

    Not Adam Schiff.

    Because she’s working for them.

    Remember President Trump and Matt Gaetz said they had a secret weapon in Congress! And Congress knows it. That’s why they’re pausing the release.

    That’s why Trump calls this the “Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax all over again.

    Because this is their Hail Mary.

    They’re trying to burn the movement with a final, desperate lie.

    But the trap has already been set.

    The fake investigation will be exposed.

    The real one will be revealed.

    And the RICO takedown will be clean.

    The Psychological Battlefield: Fake MAGA Assets Are the Real Threat

    Now pay attention:

    The Deep State knows they can’t stop Trump legally.

    So they’re turning to perception warfare.

    They’ve deployed infiltrators posing as “concerned patriots,” “truth seekers,” or “Trump skeptics.”

    Their mission:

    To sow doubt about Trump’s motives.

    To weaponize the Epstein narrative against him.

    To turn his base against him before the real drop lands.

    These are not real influencers.

    They are controlled assets, intelligence-linked accounts, or grifting opportunists.

    Ask yourself:

    Do they ever amplify Trump’s wins?

    Do they ever highlight his record on trafficking takedowns?

    Do they ever defend the movement?

    Or do they only ever attack or sow doubt?

    They use virtue-signaling and selective outrage.

    They pretend to be red-pilled, but they’re just useful idiots or worse, intentional operatives.

    Final Warning:

    The cover-up is what gets them caught.

    The compromised evidence was the setup.

    The fake Epstein suicide was the misdirect.

    The activation of Ghislaine is the desperation.

    And the White Hat counter-RICO is the real plan.

    The Trump Card is already on the table.

    The greatest sting in modern history is unfolding.

    And you’re being told exactly what’s happening…

    If you have the eyes to see it.

    Nothing can stop what is coming.

    Trump isn’t just exposing them. He’s dismantling them-piece by piece.

    And when the real Epstein evidence drops,

    It won’t be a document.

    It’ll be a testimony.

    U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is “close” to cutting business ties with Anthropic and designating the AI company a “supply chain risk” – meaning anyone who wants to do business with the U.S. military has to cut ties with the company, a penalty usually reserved for foreign adversaries, a senior Pentagon official told Axios.

    The senior official said, “It will be an enormous pain in the ass to disentangle, and we are going to make sure they pay a price for forcing our hand like this.”

    Anthropic’s large language model Claude is the only AI model currently available in the military’s classified systems, and is the world leader for many business applications, with negotiations over the terms under which the military can use Claude having been ongoing for months, as Anthropic wishes to ensure its tools aren’t used to spy on Americans en masse, or to develop weapons that fire with no human involvement, terms which are considered “unacceptable” to the Pentagon under Hegseth.

    He writes that “The Federal Government has no choice, but to step in. FEMA, which is currently being defunded by the Democrats, will play a key role in coordinating the response. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP”

    This message intersected with Trump’s ongoing verbal feud with Governor Moore, and the inability to reach an agreement that would provide the necessary funding for FEMA, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. While funding is available for projects, it is not allowed to be paid as salaries to FEMA employees, who will have to wait to get paid until after Congress reaches an agreement and ends that part of the government shutdown.”

  22. “The Ohio Supreme Court decided in 2010 that a cop’s VISUAL determination of speed is all that is needed to support a speeding ticket. The facts show that an officer gave a ticket to the defendant for going 79 mph in a 60 mph zone. He testified that he was trained and tested to guesstimate speed to within 3 or 4 mph back in the Police Training Academy. The case is silent on how often he is re-tested, but indicates that he has made ‘hundreds’ of visual estimations since then. It doesn’t say if his estimations were measured against radar.

    He estimated the defendant’s speed to be 70mph and had a Doppler radar that showed 82. However, at trial the officer failed to produce his ‘papers’ showing him to be certified in the radar so the conviction was based solely on his testimony and estimate of speed.

    The Ohio Supreme Court held that the officer’s visual estimate was sufficient to support the conviction.  The reason?  He passed the OPOTA training course and was ‘experienced’ at estimating speed.”

    It’s all coming out. Linkedin Billionaire Reid Hoffman’s name appears 2,600 times in the new Jeffrey Epstein Files

    Elon Musk was right

    The Biden Admin was letting top Democrat donors and Jeffrey Epstein clients sponsor DOJ investigations

    Elon Musk reveals “The SpaceX lawsuit was funded by Reid Hoffman, who is a major Dem donor and also a Jeffrey Epstein Client”

    Think about that, Democrats let their donors use our law enforcement to target their enemies

    Elon Musk explains the SpaceX DOJ investigation went on for YEARS, he explains in details the Weaponization of law enforcement

    And it was sponsored by a top Democrat Donor

    Joe Rogan “The plot thickens, Jesus Christ. It’s just, it’s so blatant. It’s like so obvious. The SpaceX lawsuit, the Trump stuff. It’s just, it’s so obvious.”

  24. DISGUSTING!

    Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) just announced plans to introduce legislation making the Pride flag a “congressionally authorized” symbol—giving it the same status as the American flag.

    How can any true Christian back this? Democrats are obsessed with shoving this perversion and wickedness into our kids’ lives and our culture. The LGBTQ community already has every right everyone else does, but that’s not enough—they demand to force their ideology on us like a new religion. Meanwhile, these same Democrats never lift a finger for actual faith. Just a bunch of godless hypocrites pushing an agenda straight from the pit.

    Wake up, America! Stand for biblical truth
