Secret Service Confirms Cocaine Was Found In West Wing Phone Cubby Hours After Hunter Biden Visit
The puzzle, wrapped in an engima, inside a bag of blow surrounding the "mystery" cocaine found in the White House is drawing in some of the world's most cunning detectives and brilliant minds.
One day after leaked radio intercepts revealed that a "mystery" substance was found over the weekend inside the White House and - after leading to a brief evacuation over hazmat fears - was "cocaine like", the US Secret Service on Wednesday confirmed what everyone already knew - the powdery substance found inside the White House over the weekend is cocaine.
While little new was revealed, secret service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that the cocaine was discovered in an area of the West Wing lobby where individuals can store their phones. The lobby is “a heavily traveled area” regularly accessed by both visitors and staff, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday. — ZeroHedge
Our Take: “We’re likely never going to be able to separate the truth from the PsyOp in this particular matter, like so many other Narrative Deployments in the Info War. That said, this one has Ghosts in the Machine written all over it to me.
First of all, the fact that Hunter has been tagging along with Papa Joe in virtually all of his photo ops in recent weeks bucks the trend we saw during the first year and change of the Biden Admin. Second, the Hunter coke story just feels TOO perfect for Patriots given the timing of the ongoing Disclosure campaign represented by the congruent Hunter plea deal and Trump indictments, highlighting the two-tier Justice System to the American people.
Hunter the coke head is low-hanging fruit, but it’s got significant memetic power, is safe, fun water cooler and BBQ talk during the month of July, and continues to expose the utter hypocrisy of both the would-be First Family and the media elites who run defense for them.” —
EXC: DeSantis’s Iranian Donors Bankrolled Pelosi, Bashed Trump, & Backed Obama/Biden’s Iran Nuclear Deal
Major benefactors to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis – Morteza ‘Mori’ Hosseini and his wife Forough – have donated tens of thousands of dollars to a political action committee (PAC) funding the Democratic Party leaders, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the lead impeachment manager against former President Donald J. Trump, Jamie Raskin.
Hosseini’s donations to the Iranian American Political Action Committee – Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) span from 2004 to 2011, under his name, as well as aliases “Morteza Hosseini Kargar”, and “Morteza Hosseini-Kargar“. During the same period, the PAAIA PAC funded various Democrat groups, including Friends of Hillary (Clinton) and Friends of (Anthony) Weiner.
To the extent the group has given money to Republicans, the sums appear far smaller, and the donations have ended up in the pockets of groups supporting former Republican leader Paul Ryan, neoconservative Dan Crenshaw, and Never Trumper Ben Sasse. — The National Pulse
Our Take: “‘Follow the money’ is always good direction, and the new revelations about DeSantis’ Iranian donors looks bad for the Florida Governor.
Mori and Forough Hosseini have been supporters of Ron for a while. The club of recipients of the Hosseini’s support is an interesting one that includes Nancy Pelosi, Jamie Raskin, Friends of Hillary Clinton, Friends of Anthony Weiner, Paul Ryan, Dan Crenshaw, Ben Sasse, and … Ron DeSantis.
Lest you think the support was one-directional, DeSantis cannot claim plausible deniability when it comes to the Hosseinis. Governor DeSantis appointed Forough Hosseini to serve on the Florida Children and Youth Cabinet in 2019.
A few questions to consider:
First, why would a Republican Governor appoint a well known Democrat donor to a key position within his administration? And how can that Governor then campaign on unifying the Republican Party? More importantly, why would anyone — except evil or stupid people — allow a network of leftist NGOs anywhere near children? How can a governor that is ‘fighting for the children,’ assign oversight responsibilities — for Florida Children and Youth — to a well known leftist that openly and unironically funds “Friends of Hillary Clinton” and ‘Friends of Anthony Weiner’?
The fairer Hosseini is ‘the founder and chair of Food Brings Hope, which provides assistance for homeless and economically disadvantaged students.’ And she is a friend of Hillary Clinton. And she is making policy decisions about homeless children in Florida.
Up to this point, my criticism of Ron has centered on the apathy that his noncommittal conservatism breeds among Florida citizens. I think he’s boring, overtly political, and his track record supporting the grassroots is terrible but, until this reporting, I never considered that Ron could actually be evil. I’m considering it now.” —
The United Nations is Trying to Seize ‘Global Emergency’ Powers With Support From Biden
The far left United Nations is trying to seize on ‘global emergency’ powers and is doing so with the blessing of Joe Biden.
This is alarming. Millions of Americans have a deep distrust of the United Nations and for good reasons. They do not have America’s best interests in mind and they have proved that repeatedly over the years.
Also, we have to remember what happened here in the U.S. when tyrannical governors like Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan got their hands on emergency powers. Almost all of the bad things came out of that and they didn’t want to let them go.
The Federalist reports:
A Faith-Based Gold Company Is On A Mission To Change the Way Americans Protect Their Retirement
The U.N. Is Planning To Seize Global ‘Emergency’ Powers With Biden’s Support
In September 2024, less than two months before the next U.S. presidential election, the United Nations will host a landmark “Summit of the Future,” where member nations will adopt a Pact for the Future. The agreement will solidify numerous policy reforms offered by the U.N. over the past two years as part of its sweeping Our Common Agenda platform.
Although there are numerous radical proposals included in the agenda, perhaps none are more important than the U.N. plan for a new “emergency platform,” a stunning proposal to give the U.N. significant powers in the event of future “global shocks,” such as another worldwide pandemic. — The Gateway Pundit, sourcing The Federalist
Our Take: “The predatory class is desperate to establish a pathway for one of their institutions to gain emergency powers that would elevate them to a sort of temporary world-governing body. If this is allowed to happen, and Biden is already supporting this proposition, then it could be seen as a stepping stone toward establishing a permanent world-governing body.
They've been pushing this on at least three fronts.
First, they proposed the ‘Pandemic Treaty’ which would put the World Health Organization in the role of a temporary world governing body. This received serious blowback from the more discerning portion of the human population, but while everyone's attention was focused on the treaty, a series of amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) was proposed that would put the World Health Organization in a position to supersede the governments of the world in the event of another pandemic. These proposed amendments are also starting to be exposed for what they are.
Now we have the United Nations, the granddaddy of all slimy, corrupt globalist institutions aiming for the same goal. Forgive me if I am skeptical about this actually working out. This country has legions of armed, military and ex military who are willing to lay down their lives to maintain American sovereignty, do you see why they are pushing so hard for a gun-grab?” —
Ukraine accuses Russia of planting explosives on nuclear plant’s roof
Ukraine claimed that Russian troops occupying the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant had planted bombs on the facility’s roof in preparation for an imminent sabotage — even as Moscow accused Kyiv of plotting a “false-flag” attack.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his nightly address Tuesday that he told France’s Emmanuel Macron in a phone conversation about Russian “dangerous provocations” at the plant in southeastern Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin’s forces seized control of Zaporizhzhia — Europe’s largest nuclear facility — in the first days of the invasion in February 2022, and it has remained in Russian hands for the past 16 months.
The two sides have regularly traded accusations of shelling around the plant and risking a nuclear catastrophe.
Ukraine’s military released a statement Tuesday quoting “operational data” as saying that “explosive devices” had been placed on the roof of Zaporizhzhia’s third and fourth reactors Tuesday, and that an attack was possible “in the near future.” — The NY Post
Our Take: “Look at the Narrative Timeline that's being laid out for normies as it relates to Ukraine and the Zaporizhzhia Plant:
Zelensky transitions from begging NATO for aid to threatening them with an escalation of the latest Forever War.
Zelensky does the media rounds (CNN,) and explains his nation's close ties to the CIA and US intel apparatus. (Same CIA accused of NS2 and Kakhovka Dam sabotage—both False Flags.)
Zelensky claims Russia plans to strike Nuclear Plant in False Flag attack.
During my Borax Biden rant Sunday, people enjoyed the analogy of allowing Biden to crawl around on the Narrative countertops, poison his own side's Narratives and bring them back to the Uniparty hive, where the rest of the Establishment is forced to either defend or condemn his rhetoric.
Now apply that same concept to Zelensky, Proxy Wars, Proxy Presidents and now ... False Flags.
What was old is new again.
The War of Stories rolls on.” —
FDA blasted for 'misleading' mRNA COVID vaccine labels as 'sudden death' research mounts
Researchers around the world continue documenting potentially severe side effects from COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in certain demographics, but the Food and Drug Administration refuses to label them or even tell recipients the shots can't stop transmission of an increasingly immune-evasive virus.
Autopsies and reviews of medical records revealed a much higher incidence of Pfizer and Moderna vaccine-associated heart deaths than officially categorized in South Korean, Japanese and Qatari government registries, particularly in younger people at lower risk from COVID. That echoes a German autopsy study of healthy people who died within 20 days of jabs.
An FDA-funded study in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics on May 22 also found a "safety signal" for myocarditis and pericarditis — forms of serious heart inflammation — following vaccination in 12-17 year-olds. It was based on "near-real-time monitoring using commercial claims databases" for more than 3 million children ages 5-17 who took Pfizer's vaccine. — Just the News
Our Take: “The FDA refusing to accurately label the poison jabs is further evidence that we lack informed consent when it comes to the pharmaceutical cartel. We are talking about vaccine side effects in children — studies from multiple countries show increased risk of heart deaths in 12-17 year olds. Medical researchers — the experts we are supposed to trust — actually petitioned the FDA to add heart risks to the mandatory disclosures that drive informed consent, but they were unsuccessful.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya summarized the stunning contradiction in a July 2 tweet: ‘You know how the FDA makes drug companies list every conceivable side effect of marketed drugs so that patients are aware of potential problems with them? Why is the FDA exempting the covid vax labels from the same treatment?’
Why, indeed?
Medical experts rebuking the FDA for what can only be described as vaccine misinformation and disinformation is a development I didn’t expect in this timeline. It’s particularly notable given that, earlier this week, the judge in Missouri v Biden DENIED the plaintiffs’ motion to enjoin and constrain the FDA from colluding with social media companies to censor speech. In other words, the FDA can still collaborate with Twitter to ban anyone who shares these medical experts’ studies. And the info war rages on.” —
Biden Administration to Appeal Ban on Social Media Contacts
The US Justice Department said it’s appealing a court ruling that would block federal agencies and officials from communicating with social media companies about the content that appears on their platforms, restricting the Biden administration’s efforts to stem the spread of misinformation.
The department filed a notice of appeal with the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans Wednesday.
In a 155-page opinion, US District Judge Terry Doughty, who was nominated by former President Donald Trump, held that federal officials likely violated the First Amendment in how they had communicated with Twitter, Meta, and other tech giants about removing or restricting certain content related to the pandemic, the 2020 election, and other political subjects. — Bloomberg
Our Take: “The Info War is a complex beast, with multiple fronts being forwarded on timelines that are exceedingly difficult for us to parse. I often describe our role as interpreting the reflections and ripples of the waves reaching short from a discordant battle raging in the center of a lake obscured in mist.
That said, the Biden Admin’s public disdain for the 1st Amendment is a massive red pill for the American public, and Trump appointee Doughty’s decision on the same is a massive white pill.
The more the Deep State thrashes publicly against the constitution, the more they show everyone exactly who they are, while the constitutional judges Trump installed—from the Supreme Court all the way down the line, and throughout the land—continue to erect new bulwarks against further incursions on our God-given rights.” —
