A pro-MAGA reporter who criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s treatment of the press at the Pentagon lost her job after speaking out.
Gabrielle Cuccia is a proud ‘MAGA girl’ who has long been outspoken about her adoration of President Trump.
But while working as the chief Pentagon correspondent at pro-Trump television channel One America News, Cuccia published a tell-all article to her personal Substack channel about the pitfalls of Hegseth’s leadership.
‘If you want the best case study for the death of the MAGA movement — look no further than the Department of Defense,’ she wrote.
‘People sleep on the Pentagon. They don’t realize what’s been simmering at the bottom for weeks, months, sometimes even years.’
Cuccia had expressed concerns Hegseth was blocking media access in the wake of his Signal scandal, in which a journalist was unintentionally added to a group chat with Hegseth where he openly shared sensitive details about an impending strike on Houthi targets in Yemen.
From that moment onwards, Cuccia said Hegseth shut down crucial communication points between the press and his staff in an effort to ‘reduce the opportunity for in-person inadvertent or unauthorized disclosures.’
‘Think of every time you hear a journalist reference a source as “Defense Official” or something abstract… a lot of times, it’s coming from these guys,’ she revealed about the Pentagon press office.
‘And they are always there to provide additional context, field questions, and relay the reality of ops in an unclassified manner.’
Her article was published on Monday. By Thursday, her boss had asked her to hand in her Pentagon access badge, and on Friday she was fired, she told CNN.

Trump Taps Palantir to Create Master Database on Every American
The Trump administration is collecting data on all Americans, and they are enlisting the data analysis company Palantir to do it.
The New York Times reports that President Trump has enlisted the firm, founded by far-right billionaire Peter Thiel, to carry out his March executive order instructing government agencies to share data with each other. The order has increased fears that the government is putting together a database to wield surveillance powers over the American public.
Since then, the administration has been very quiet about these efforts, increasing suspicion. Meanwhile, Palantir has taken more than $113 million in government spending since Trump took office, from both existing contracts and new ones with the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security. That number is expected to grow, especially given that the firm just won a new $795 million contract with the DOD last week.
Palantir is speaking with various other agencies across the federal government, including the Social Security Administration and the IRS, about buying its technology, according to the Times. Palantir’s Foundry tool, which analyzes and organizes data, is already being used at the DHS, the Department of Health and Human Services, and at least two other agencies, allowing the White House to compile data from different places.
This is an opinion piece, slanted toward privacy and against totalitarianism, but I do not see how anyone can stop data collection. Information about us is everywhere and easily gathered. It can be weaponized and probably will. How do you stop it? If USA does not do it, others will. Information knows no borders. This is another reason why we should do all we can to preserve free speech and support those who support it. Free speech and freedom of thought are all we have left to protect ourselves. Masses of free humans will become the only database that can stand up to AI and those who control it. ABN
My time in China showed me what we’re up against. Trump’s the first one in decades willing to actually do something about it — Jack Poso
It takes many years to reach this conclusion. I have a somewhat similar background. In the early 2000s, I naively assumed the US intelligence community already knew what Jack is saying about China. Based on that, I figured our politicians and business leaders had been briefed; that they knew the score. The truth was, it took the US government and Western elite longer to figure this out than many Western individuals who had actually lived in China and learned the language. I am not blaming anyone, just pointing out that elites in the West and probably everywhere are no smarter or insightful than ordinary people. Indeed, as a group, elites often behave stupidly. They are held together by psycholinguistic codes and mutual dependency, so they all tend to think alike or form factions that do. Their deep misunderstanding of China can be seen in many other areas — their failure to form an alliance with Russia after the fall of the SU, the Ukraine War, mass third-world immigration, the covid psyop mingled with the incongruous fantasy that deep down all people are the same and all of them will treat you well if you treat them well, and so on. Intel services would do much better if they listened to were led by people who have had real-life ordinary experience in whatever area they want to understand. I am a proud conspiracy theorist, but the examples above show that much of our predicament as citizens (of any nation) is our elites are poorly informed, selfishly tied to each other, and as such stupid. Yes, they do conspire against us and cause great harm but they do that stupidly as well. ABN

FBI Crossfire Hurricane files declassified
How Trump AND ONLY TRUMP can release all of the files concerning JFK, RFK, MLK
Dear Mr. President and White House counsel:
Understanding the ordinary process of declassifying documents is a request and authorization to the executive officers and stakeholders of classified information; and understanding the current authorization is not ordinary because the intelligence community stakeholders are averse to the interests of the office of the president; here is a process to cut through the chaff and countermeasures.
The background here is that any unilateral declassification request, demand or authorization by President Trump; or release of any information deemed against the interests of Washington DC; puts him opposition to a variety of corrupt interests.
As a direct result the executive office of the president will be facing legal action, likely from unified democrats and republicans in the legislative branch. With that accepted, here is the most strategic approach.
THE PROCESS – In anticipation of litigation:
President Trump informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, that he wishes to have a full intelligence briefing on the following documents (more may be added), all documents are to be presented without a single redaction:
The full and complete records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The full and complete records relating to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The President selects a date for this briefing and through direct orders to his chief of staff, Susie Wiles and National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to advise and coordinate with all executive branch intelligence officials, who were/are stakeholders in the compartmented intelligence products as described above, of their request be present for the briefing.
The White House counsel’s office is not to be informed of the intent or purpose of the meeting; however, the Presidents’ White House counsel is requested to attend. Further, all of the compartmented intelligence is to be collectively assembled by the ODNI (Gabbard) into one volume of a singular Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) although each set might be file boxes. There are to be eighteen printed copies of the PDB material assembled and secured for the briefing, post haste.
Additionally, the office of the president personally informs the ODNI (Gabbard) of the executives’ request to invite for the briefing each member of the legislative branch Intelligence Community oversight known as the Gang-of-Eight.
Immediately after the briefing by the executive level (cabinet) department officials, while remaining in a closed and classified session, the full and comprehensive content of this collective intelligence product will be discussed with the full assembly of the U.S. Legislative Branch Intelligence Oversight known as the Gang of Eight.
Therefore, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is instructed to coordinate with the ODNI (Gabbard) for the attendance of the Gang of Eight: Speaker Mike Johnson, Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, HPSCI Chairman Rick Crawford, HPSCI Ranking Member Jim Himes, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton and SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner. [Topic “TBD”]
In order to facilitate the briefing. Each member of the participating group will be provided with one full printed copy of the material assembled by the ODNI during the briefing.
[Each of the participants carries the prerequisite clearances, legal and constitutional authority to engage with the classified documents according to their position and status. Only the executive can assemble the product for Go8 review and feedback]
At the conclusion of the briefing; and after hearing from, and engagement with, each of the participating members of the executive intelligence offices and duly authorized legislative oversight representatives; and after listening to their opinion as to the subject material discussed; the president announces to the fully assembled leadership of both the Executive branch (cabinet) and Legislative branch (Go8), it is his opinion the National Interests of the United States can best be served with the American people having a full, transparent and honest review of the material assembled and discussed.
The President, no-one else, only the President, [with his affirmed constitutional power and protection – as acting within his official duty] then collects the printed portfolios [or boxes] as they were distributed to the participants, exits the briefing, and walks directly into the James Brady press briefing room within the White House; handing each of the awaiting twelve members of the national media a copy of the briefing material to be published on behalf of the American people.
At exactly the same time as President Trump enters the briefing room, one copy of the assembled portfolio is hand delivered, by President Trump only, to White House communications director with instructions to scan and release the content to the public through the White House website.
Done.
The American people are aware…
An example of KOBK information hegemony
__________
Everyone knows the ‘force’ Carlson refers to is either CIA or Jewish Supremists or a combination of both. What they are hiding is Israel’s and CIA’s roles in the JFK killing and the Epstein espionage and blackmail racket. Carlson implies as much very strongly and gives a loud voice to those who already know. He seems to be doing his best to inform the public, to give them correct information. If Israel is perceived as playing a major if not the major role in the assassination of JFK, gigantic silos of bad information will implode across the world and especially in USA. Epstein videos, if released, would be even more graphic and explosive because they are closer in time and implicate many prominent people who are still alive. The big question today is how long can the powers that be continue hiding this information? The Bondi-Patel standstill alone is proof everyone is cowed, including Trump, or so it seems. Only a very powerful player can keep these lies going. But, the harder they come the harder they fall. ABN
Trump border czar Tom Homan threatens green card holders amid massive immigration crackdown
Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said that Mahmoud Khalil could be the first of many green cards holders to be deported amid his widespread crackdown on legal and illegal immigrants.
President Trump boasted about the arrest of Khalil earlier Monday, warning it was ‘the first of many to come’ – even though Khalil is a legal resident who has not been convicted of a crime.
Khalil – a Palestinian who was born and raised in Syria – helped to lead protests against Israel at Columbia University last year. He also acted as a negotiator between students and university officials.
A judge has since stepped in to temporarily block the deportation of the 27-year-old pro-Palestine activist, pending a further ruling on the matter.
Homan, who has led Trump’s agenda on the border at full force, said that ‘absolutely we can’ deport green card holders such as Khalil.
Information war plays by KOBK (Kill-Or-Be-Killed) game theory rules. Kill-Or-Be-Killed in this case is silencing, or ‘killing’, pro-Palestinian information to benefit Israel and ostensibly Jews, though this argument/battle may turn against Jews and do them more harm than good, much as the argument/battle against ‘men in women’s sports’ has devastated the ‘trans women are women’ argument. We the people must understand that freedom of speech is our best weapon against Big Government suppression of reason itself as well as individual rights. I am not sure where I stand on the above case. Selectively prosecuting people to help Jews is not good because: 1) in today’s world, it is not helping them as much as in the past; and 2) why should Jews get so much special treatment when it comes to information? Jewish Supremists have been playing the KOBK information game for centuries, with frenetic intensity for the past 100 plus years. Most readers of this site know all that. What I am pointing our today is at the core of information at large, there is often a KOBK battle. Different sides fight over the information. Leftists who believe Anthropogenic Global Warming support electric car mandates, but then burn Tesla dealers to harm Musk, whom they perceive as being right-wing. It’s all a KOBK battle over information hegemony. I conclude this is a major reason why we must keep promoting good/correct information while destroying bad/incorrect information. ABN
Musk reveals Ukraine may be behind ‘massive’ cyberattack on X
Elon Musk has revealed the large cyberattack that took down his social media app X on Monday seemingly originated in Ukraine.
His revelation followed repeated glitches with the site, which has been down for much of the day.
‘Well, we’re not sure exactly what happened,’ Musk told Fox Business Network on Monday afternoon. But there was a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area.’
Musk had confirmed earlier in the day that X was being targeted by a ‘massive cyberattack.’
The world’s richest man noted during the interview that the social media site is now back up and running.
His statement came after the platform had been down for users worldwide. They had complained about issues with the app and website since as early as 5:30am ET.
Musk shared on X that the hack involved so many resources that he believes it could only be the work of a ‘coordinated group’ or a foreign country.
Trump removes Antony Blinken, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg’s security clearances among others
President Donald Trump has decided to remove security clearances for several Democrats, including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, both of whom are vocal Trump critics.
Former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and attorneys Andrew Weissmann, Mark Zaid and Norm Eisen.
The move comes a day after Trump stripped his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, of his security clearance and his access to presidential daily briefs.

New angle on Livelsberger Las Vegas Tesla bomb incident — Michaela Fachar
I’m blowing the whistle. I’m done listening to this.
My name is Michaela Fachar. I am a U.S. Air Force veteran 1N0 All Source analyst. From October 2020-2021, I was deployed to the CENTCOM Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.
I was an E-4 at the time, and my job was to process mission reports (MISREPS) from pilots conducting sorties within CENTCOM theatre. My job was to report on daily significant activity reports (SIGACTS) and publish graphic intel summaries (GRINTSUMS) to all air units in CENTCOM. Task forces reported a TON of UAP activity, but because we had no framework of reporting those requirements, we didn’t. There is evidence of all of this on Kessel Run, the databse that we process these reports on.
From October 2020 to around January 2021, I worked night shift, at a time when very few people worked. As I was reporting on events, news came of blue on blue fratricide [blue on blue means friendly fire]. While I was compiling the reporting, a CIA officer came out of his room and tapped me on the shoulder. He told me not to report on it. We had other blue on blue events, and we received orders to not report on those events due to the potential for “diplomatic scandals.”
I live on Fort Bragg, NC, and I am still in the individual ready reserve (IRR). I have reached out to Jeremy, Sarah Adams, Shawn Ryan, and Shoe separately, but have no received word from you.
I want to testify to Rep. Tim Burchett because I am concerned about the Biden administration and our national security apparatus. They lack a fundamental understanding of the national security picture with China, and they are ramping us up for war. I believe that what I witnessed can corroborate the concerns that Matt Livelsberg addressed in his email manifesto.
Fachar provides yet another warning on Chinese drone or plasmid UAPs and the danger they pose to USA. Her info is worth considering. I wonder how Shawn Ryan will deal with it. I doubt China is strong enough to take on USA or daring enough to try even if they were. That said, I do not dismiss Fachar’s warning or Livelsberger’s . And that said, who cannot see a scenario where scores of terrorist attacks occur in USA and the West. These will galvanize Western populations making them clamor for war. Add Trump (rightly) deporting millions of illegals, which in itself will accustom the public to thinking in large numbers… and we are all set for WW3, a massive battle in the Middle East which will result in USA destroying all of Israel’s enemies and establishing Greater Israel, while inside USA and the West, the public accedes to a super spy state with all the high tech in place forever because we (maybe) really will need it to ID terrorists. Is Fachar, Ryan, and many others preprogramming us for WW3? Forty million Zionist Christians will be ecstatic when it begins. When the muddle of indeterminable information meets kinetic war, action is all that matters. ABN
