Charlie Kirk refused Netanyahu funding offer, was ‘frightened’ by pro-Israel forces before death, friend reveals

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A Trump insider and longtime friend of Charlie Kirk tells The Grayzone how the assassinated conservative leader’s turning point on Israeli influence provoked a private backlash from Netanyahu’s allies that left him angry and afraid.

The source said anxiety spread within the Trump administration after an apparent Israeli spying operation was uncovered.

Charlie Kirk rejected an offer earlier this year from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, America’s largest conservative youth association, according to a longtime friend of the slain commentator speaking on the condition of anonymity. The source told The Grayzone that the late pro-Trump influencer believed Netanyahu was trying to cow him into silence as he began to publicly question Israel’s overwhelming influence in Washington and demanded more space to criticize it. 

In the weeks leading up to his September 10 assassination, Kirk had come to loathe the Israeli leader, regarding him as a “bully,” the source said. Kirk was disgusted by what he witnessed inside the Trump administration, where Netanyahu sought to personally dictate the president’s personnel decisions, and weaponized Israeli assets like billionaire donor Miriam Adelson to keep the White House firmly under its thumb.

…Kirk was 18 years old when he launched TPUSA in 2012. From its inception, his career was propelled by Zionist donors, who showered his young organization with money through neoconservative outfits like the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He repaid his wealthy backers over the years by unleashing a relentless firehose of anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic diatribes, accepting propaganda trips to Israel, and sternly shutting down nationalist forces challenging his support for Israel during TPUSA events. In the Trump era, few American gentiles had proved more valuable to the self-proclaimed Jewish state than Charlie Kirk.

But as Israel’s genocidal assault on the besieged Gaza Strip drove an unprecedented backlash within grassroots right-wing circles, where only 24% of younger Republicans now sympathize with Israel over the Palestinians, Kirk began to shift.

…According to Kirk’s longtime friend, Kirk’s resentment of Netanyahu and the Israel lobby was spreading within Trump’s inner circle. In fact, they said, the president himself was terrified of Netanyahu’s wrath, and feared the consequences of defying him. 

During the past year, the Trump insider was told by contacts in the White House that the Secret Service had caught Israeli government personnel placing electronic devices on its emergency response vehicles on two separate occasions.

Overview of 18,000 Epstein emails

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Epstein email dump: 18,000 messages straight from his Yahoo inbox.
Oversight released some, Bloomberg got more. The media wanted Trump dirt. What they found is way worse—for Epstein & Maxwell. Let’s unpack. 🧵
1/17 

Trump is mentioned three times:

– 2000: photo at Mar-a-Lago.
– 2003: at a dinner Maxwell hosted with “barely clad models.”
– 2006: Maxwell sends a 51-name VIP list. Epstein replies: “Remove Trump.”
2/17 

That’s it. Three mentions out of 18,000 emails. Zero ties to crimes. Meanwhile, Bloomberg headlines it like the scoop of the century: “Trump was on a list!” A list of what? They don’t know.
3/17 

The real bombshells? Maxwell. The cache shows she lied about her role. She wasn’t just “property manager.” She:

– Ran Epstein companies
– Opened foreign bank accounts
– Traded stocks jointly
– Coordinated fertility treatments with Epstein
4/17 

Yes, fertility. Emails show Maxwell directing Epstein to provide sperm samples: “It has to be within 90 mins of my procedure… all the ejaculate must be collected.” Romance is dead.
5/17 

Then there’s the gift ledger. A 2007 spreadsheet logs ~$1.8M in “gifts,” many with “GM” initials (Maxwell’s hand). Rolexes, Audemars Piguets, ATVs, lingerie, laptops, massages.
6/17 

Politicians & elites appear in the entries:

– Doug Band (Clinton aide): $35K watch
– Leslie Wexner: >$130K in ATVs
– Tom Barrack: ~$11K Rolex
– Alan Dershowitz: $71K Lexus
– Sergey Brin/Anne Wojcicki: invited to Little St. James

Larry Ellison and his relation to the surveillance state

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

For almost two years, there has been a background conversation with a handful of people watching the Silicon Valley network closely and monitoring every move and position they take.  They hold an entirely divergent set of motives that are not aligned with Making America Great Again behind this crew.

I’m simply saying for everyone to keep their eyes wide open, review THAT ARTICLE I just linked above, and put it in the context of the issues and discussions we have had on these pages.  Remember, there are literally trillions at stake, and we have been duped too many times. The issues and the stakes in our nation are just too important.

The concern we have is about the “surveillance state”, and the creations of the Silicon Valley tech bros that are building out tools that can easily be weaponized as the contracts with the U.S. government are fulfilled.  President Trump will not weaponize them, but the existing tools and the DHS track and trace enhancements being built by the tech team are threats to liberty.

Real ID connected to facial recognition, connected to personage, a digital identity and/or a track and trace capability is ultimately an assembled tech tool for control.  Politically Exposed Persons are the most vulnerable.

Those who follow the deepest weeds of their constructs know that billionaire Elon Musk’s ability to have a public influence platform would not exist without the full support of billionaire Larry Ellison.  They are absolute partners – mentor and protegee. The part that people are having a hard time accepting is the end goal, the motive behind that Ellison support.

My opinion is today the same as it was when the situation first started to surface.  Think of how the Sea Island group positioned Ron DeSantis for his MAGA challenge in 2024.  That was a long term plan that started years before DeSantis entered the primary.  DeSantis took positions that were highly favored by President Trump supporters, and his network constructed an image that was intentional to ingratiate himself within the movement.

What we have researched with Elon Musk carries many of the same background datapoints and nuance.  Musk takes popular positions to cover for some very un-MAGA proposals; the H1B issue is just one facet.  Overall, a technological system of surveillance and control by a few tech oligarchs is well underway.

We must keep our eyes wide open.  We must trust our instincts and differentiate between key issues that can impact us and our families, and the issues we support – but are not direct impacts on our lives.  We want a big tent; we all want to see success for President Trump and the MAGA agenda, but we cannot achieve our goals if liberty is lost in the process.

The surveillance state diminishes liberty; it needs to be confronted as it surfaces.

Inside Trump’s top secret special forces raid that turned into a deadly midnight shootout in North Korea

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Donald Trump greenlit a daring mission to send Navy SEALs into North Korea to bug Jim Jong Un before the operation unraveled after the soldiers killed several fishermen and fled, a bombshell new report reveals. 

The audacious plot unfolded in early 2019 as Trump was locked in high-stakes nuclear talks with Kim to limit the hostile nation’s nuclear program.

With negotiations moving forward, Trump was set for the first of two face-to-face meetings with Kim in Vietnam, and military officials presented a plan to have a SEAL team covertly move in. 

The mission was given to SEAL Team 6, the same unit that took out Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan in May 2011. 

But despite months of rehearsals to sneak to the North Korean coast in submarines and plant the device before leaving undetected the operation quickly went sideways, a new report from The New York Times claims.

According to military officials who spoke with the outlet, the SEALs only got onto the beach for a short time before they were spotted by a sailing vessel. 

Fearing that the vessel was North Korean military, the SEALs opened fire and killed around three people on board before puncturing their lungs to ensure their bodies would sink to the ocean floor.

Spygate -vs- Russiagate

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Barack Obama didn’t like Hillary Clinton.  Barack Obama didn’t even care about Hillary Clinton in the 2016 campaign.  Barack Obama would have liked nothing more than to watch Hillary Clinton go down in a ball of flames, until something happened in 2016 that changed the dynamic.

Suddenly, Barack Obama needed Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 election…

That my friends, is the reason why so many people get lost in the story of the 2016 election and the eventual Trump-Russia conspiracy.  However, once you understand what changed in those April and May 2016 moments, everything reconciles.

The U.S. government under the President Obama administration was spying on American citizens.

It started with Barack Obama and AG Eric Holder’s use of the IRS database in the 2010 midterm, against the primary threat of the Tea Party movement.  However, an IRS whistleblower from the Cincinnati field office took the continued use of the IRS off the table. From the period of mid-2012 to April-2016, the administration factually and demonstrably shifted to using the power of electronic surveillance to conduct political spying operations using the NSA database and the metadata captures within it.

However, once that NSA surveillance and spying was identified in April 2016, President Obama had a problem.  That’s where the Obama alignment with the Clinton ‘dirty trick’ comes into play.  After May 2016, Obama needed Hillary Clinton to win the election.  The rest is “Russiagate” history.

Those who remember the 2015/2016 presidential race will remember President Obama never campaigned for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 primary.  After all, Bernie Sanders was potentially going to upend Clinton until the DNC stepped heavily on the scales to assist her and team Sanders was furious. Then suddenly, following the California primary, Barack went all in.

There is a distinct timeline shift during this period that most seem to overlook because “Russiagate” was/is easily the shiniest thing for people to follow.  However, it was the precursor scandal, ‘spygate’, that is more critical yet gets almost no attention.

We Can Now Answer the Question – Did NSA Director Mike Rogers Warn Donald Trump on November 17, 2016?

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The short answer is no; he did not.

Was NSA Director Mike Rogers aware that political spying was conducted through the use of searches on the NSA database?  Yes.  Did NSA Director Mike Rogers take action in April 2016 to stop the searches within the NSA database that were entirely due to political surveillance?  Yes.

Six months later, October 20, 2016, the extensive review of all the political surveillance searches done from November of 2015 to April of 2016 was completed; the NSA compliance officer briefed Director Rogers. Six days later on October 26, 2016, NSA Director Mike Rogers then informed the FISA court of the unlawful searches and his action to address the issue.

One month later on November 17th, 2016, NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers went to see President-Elect Donald Trump in Trump Tower, New York.  –SEE HERE– Director Rogers never told his boss DNI, James Clapper.  The very next day, Friday November 18, 2016, The Washington Post reported on a recommendation in “October” that Mike Rogers be removed from his NSA position.

“The heads of the Pentagon and the nation’s intelligence community have recommended to President Obama that the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael S. Rogers, be removed.  The recommendation, delivered to the White House last month, was made by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., according to several U.S. officials familiar with the matter.  […]  In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower. That caused consternation at senior levels of the administration, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters.”

Notice how the WaPo conflates the two issues. (1) Meeting with Trump (Nov), and (2) the recommendation to fire him (Oct).  The October recommendation to fire Rogers was likely based on the outcome of his decision to fully stop “about queries” of the NSA database and speak to the FISA court.

The recommendation to fire Rogers preceded his visit to Donald Trump, though the IC effort may have provided some additional motivation for the Rogers visit itself.

NSA Director Mike Rogers traveled to New York November 17, 2016, when a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) was set up for President-elect Trump to use following the November 8, 2016, election.

The next day, November 18, 2016, the Trump Transition Team announced they were moving all transition activity to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. –SEE HERE– Where they interviewed and discussed the most sensitive positions to fill.  Specifically, Defense, State, CIA and ODNI.

There was a great deal of speculation at the time surrounding the visit by Director Rogers and the move from Trump Tower to New Jersey.  Did Rogers tell President Trump about the political surveillance from November 2015 to April 2016?  We now know the answer is no, he did not.

Director Rogers did recommend an easier venue for the SCIF to operate with secured communication channels; but Rogers did not notify President Trump about the use of the NSA database for political spying.

Devin Nunes frames a remarkable reality — US Intelligence Community CANNOT BE TRUSTED by the President himself, nor any of the agency heads

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

While speaking to Lara Trump about the ongoing Russiagate review efforts, Devin Nunes notes, “The only thing that President Trump and this administration can do, is make sure that whoever can be held accountable, are held accountable, and that this doesn’t happen again; that these people are taught a lesson, so that this doesn’t happen again.”  But there’s something even more revealing within the interview.

Context: Devin Nunes is the chair of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, an alternative mechanism to review and analyze global and domestic intelligence information – with overlay against truth and reality that underpins the issue(s).

Action: Accepting the intent of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, now insert the recent DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s directive to stop information sharing with allied countries as it specifically relates to President Trump’s efforts to create a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.

Back to the interview:  Here’s the statement that really deserves to be emphasized @05:25: “Imagine where we sit today, with all the things going on around the world, and the President has to have the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, his own intelligence board, all making sure the intelligence is not weaponized. I mean it’s rather incredible, this is something that is unprecedented in the United States of America.”

Think about that ¹remarkable context.  Essentially what Nunes is saying is that Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, John Ratcliffe, Tulsi Gabbard and Devin Nunes (et al) cannot trust the operational embeds under the agency heads within the United States Intelligence Community.  Think about that, as it is said out loud.

John Bolton’s home raided by FBI

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

FBI agents raided the Maryland home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton on Friday morning, Fox News Digital has learned.

The search focused on potential classified documents agents believe Bolton may still possess, according to one source.

Bolton, who served as President Donald Trump’s national security advisor from 2018 to 2019, is not in custody or under arrest. It is understood that Bolton was at home at the time. 

Federal agents reportedly busted into Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Maryland at around 7 a.m. local time in an investigation ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, who took to X with a cryptic post minutes later.

The CIA Built Hundreds of Covert Websites. Here’s What They Were Hiding

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

…Infiltrating Journalism and Big Tech

While the 885 fake websites were not established to influence public opinion, today, the U.S. government sponsors thousands of journalists worldwide for precisely this purpose. Earlier this year, the Trump administration’s decision to pause funding to USAID inadvertently exposed a network of more than 6,200 reporters working at nearly 1,000 news outlets or journalism organizations who were all quietly paid to promote pro-U.S. messaging in their countries.

Oksana Romanyuk, director of the Ukrainian Institute for Mass Information, warned that nearly 90% of her country’s media outlets rely on funding from USAID to survive. A survey of 20 leading media organizations in Belarus revealed that 60% of their budget came from Washington. In Iran, more than 30 anti-government groups came together for a crisis response meeting, while in Cuba and Nicaragua, anti-government press resorted to soliciting donations from readers.

The CIA has also successfully infiltrated the largest and most popular social media networks, giving the agency substantial control over what the world sees (and does not see) in their news feeds.

Facebook has hired dozens of former CIA officials to run its most sensitive operations. Perhaps the most notable of these individuals is Aaron Berman.

As the platform’s senior misinformation manager, Berman ultimately has the final say over what content is promoted and what is demoted or deleted from Facebook. Yet, until 2019, Berman was a high-ranking CIA officer, responsible for writing the president’s daily security brief. It was at that time that he jumped ship from Langley to Facebook, despite appearing to have little relevant professional experience.

Google, if anything, is even more saturated with former spies.

I doubt the idea of this is new to readers of this site. The article above provides a concise overview of how some of the spying and mind-control has been done, both domestically and abroad. Well-worth a quick read. ABN

Nvidia warns of ‘disaster’ if it has to put kill switch and backdoor in chips

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Nvidia said there are no backdoors or kill switches in its chips, denying an accusation from the Chinese government. The company also urged policymakers to reject proposals for backdoors and kill switches.

“There are no back doors in NVIDIA chips. No kill switches. No spyware. That’s not how trustworthy systems are built—and never will be,” Nvidia Chief Security Officer David Reber Jr. wrote in a blog post yesterday.

The Cyberspace Administration of China last week said it held a meeting with Nvidia over “serious security issues” in the company’s chips and claimed that US AI experts “revealed that Nvidia’s computing chips have location tracking and can remotely shut down the technology.”

The accusation is related to the H20 chip Nvidia made for the Chinese market to comply with US export restrictions. US lawmakers are meanwhile considering a Chip Security Act that would require exported chips to be built with “location verification.” The bill also calls for an assessment of mechanisms to stop unauthorized use—a proposal that critics say could lead to a “kill switch” like the kind that Nvidia wants to prevent.

The CCP Is Inside the Fed: Shocking New Evidence of Chinese Infiltration at America’s Central Bank — Natalie Winters

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A decade-long infiltration campaign by the Chinese Communist Party has penetrated the Federal Reserve—coercing employees, stealing sensitive data, and compromising America’s financial core.

Most Americans have heard about Chinese spies targeting our military or hacking private companies. But there’s another front in this quiet war, one that’s gone largely unreported—and it may be the most dangerous of all: China’s long game to infiltrate and manipulate the United States Federal Reserve.

A 2022 Senate investigation offered a rare glimpse into this operation, but even that barely scratches the surface. What’s playing out behind closed doors isn’t just a few bureaucratic missteps or naïve collaborations—it’s a full-blown economic espionage campaign.

This is warfare without bullets.

The Fed: A Prime Target for Chinese Espionage

The Federal Reserve is the engine of the U.S. economy. Its decisions move markets, shape global capital flows, and set the tone for the world’s monetary system. Infiltrating the Fed doesn’t just give China intelligence – it gives them influence.

Over at least a decade, the CCP has targeted Fed employees through a mix of coercion, recruitment offers, unauthorized data access, and propaganda partnerships, mostly hidden behind Chinese academic institutions and think tanks.
