The Indictment Beneath the Indictment: SPLC’s Strategy for Silencing Americans

/in , , , , , , , , , , , /by

When federal prosecutors finally brought down Al Capone, it wasn’t for murder, extortion, racketeering, or the violence that defined his criminal empire. It was for tax evasion. The charge was real. The conviction was legitimate. But no serious student of history believes tax evasion told the whole story of Capone’s criminal empire. It was simply the charge prosecutors believed they could most readily prove. Today, the Southern Poverty Law Center stands federally indicted on charges involving bank fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering.

Those charges are serious. But for those familiar with the SPLC’s destructive path, the indictment is just the tip of the iceberg of what appears to have been a much broader system of coordinated influence and institutional coercion.

First, I want to commend the FBI and the Department of Justice for their investigation and indictment. I am sure there are some here today who spent time with the FBI during this investigation. I spent considerable time with them explaining SPLC’s work and how their influence in the financial world impacted us as a Christian nonprofit.

With the indictment of SPLC, which has been the Left’s vanguard in their attack on conservative organizations who stood in their way, cowardly corporate figures who kowtowed to SPLC are starting to talk. So, we are learning more.

But there are several realities we need to understand.

Recognizing that traditional hate organizations like the Ku Klux Klan were drying up, the SPLC adjusted its business model by appointing itself as the national arbiter of “hate.” Leveraging its storied reputation from the civil rights era, it expanded its targets far beyond violent extremist groups.

The first reality we need to understand is this: although the indictment focused on SPLC’s money-raising scheme, SPLC’s real focus was its institutional influence on government, media, and corporate America.

Over time, SPLC hate and extremist classifications evolved into far more than media narratives. Their labels increasingly became a form of reputational risk assessment used by banks, payment processors, technology companies, financial compliance systems, law enforcement, media organizations, and even elements of the federal government.

The jewel of the SPLC operation was its Intelligence Project, which became deeply influential as the government, media, and finally financial institutions used their biased data in determining which organizations were viewed as acceptable participants in the financial and digital marketplace.

In November of 2010, the first wave of Christian organizations was placed on the SPLC hate map and hate list, with Family Research Council being among the most prominent.

In August of 2012, a gunman entered our headquarters in DC intending to carry out a mass shooting. He shot our building manager before he was disarmed. He carried 100 rounds of ammunition and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, which he intended to stuff into the mouths of his victims. Why FRC? The gunman, Floyd Corkins, later confessed to federal agents that he selected FRC after using the SPLC website and hate map.

That, unfortunately, was not the last shooting related to individuals publicly targeted by SPLC. In 2017, then-Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), and Charlie Kirk last year.

Following the shooting at FRC, we appealed to SPLC to remove organizations like ours because it resulted in an act that was officially deemed domestic terrorism. They did not respond.

It is clear they did not want to remove the labels because of the institutional influence that had grown around them. The ability to silence the left’s opponents.

Around 2016, the SPLC led an ad hoc coalition of left-wing activist groups that began pressuring technology companies and financial institutions to deplatform and defund conservative organizations. PayPal was among the early targets, although its initial success was limited.

Then came Charlottesville.

Charlottesville was a catalytic event that rapidly accelerated SPLC’s efforts. It was a game-changer for them in terms of their efforts to bully corporations.

With that in mind, let me insert information directly from the federal indictment, which identified one of the many extremist group members allegedly funded by the SPLC: the individual identified as F-37. According to the indictment:

“A member of the online leadership of the chat group that planned [PLANNED] the 2017 ‘Unite the Right’ event in Charlottesville, Virginia, and attended the event at the direction of the SPLC. F-37 made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees. Between 2015 and 2023, the SPLC secretly paid F-37 more than $270,000.”

Following Charlottesville, major corporations publicly aligned themselves with the SPLC. Apple donated $1 million. JPMorgan Chase and others followed.

Was Charlottesville designed to be a catalytic event to further SPLC’s efforts to move reluctant corporations?

Post Charlottesville in August of 2017, the ad hoc coalition formally organized into what became known as Change the Terms, led by the SPLC and the Center for American Progress.

The timeline of Change the Terms closely parallels the rapid acceleration of debanking and deplatforming directed at conservative and Christian organizations. BB&T, now Truist, notified us that, in accordance with our services agreement, they can, “at any time, close an account at our discretion.”

It’s a bit ironic that SPLC’s bank let them operate known fraudulent accounts for over a decade, according to the indictment.

Change the Terms sought to establish standards for technology and financial companies that would deny digital access and funding mechanisms to organizations deemed extremist by the SPLC’s definition.

SPLC officials were explicit about this strategy.

In congressional testimony delivered on January 15, 2020, SPLC official Lecia Brooks stated:

“For decades, the SPLC has been fighting hate and exposing how hate groups use the internet. We have lobbied internet companies, one by one, to comply with their own rules to prohibit their services from being used to foster hate or discrimination. A key part of this strategy has been to target these organizations’ funding.”

Brooks continued:

“On Oct. 25, 2018, the Change the Terms coalition, including the SPLC and other civil rights groups, released a suite of recommended policies for technology companies that would take away the online microphone that hate groups use to recruit members, raise funds and organize violence. In response to Change the Terms’ advocacy, several Silicon Valley leaders have made promising changes that align with the coalition’s vision for a safer online world.”

But Brooks went further, openly describing the pressure campaign:

“The public exposure was half the battle. We conducted the other part of the campaign privately. SPLC officials held dozens of meetings with top Silicon Valley executives. Some companies acted. Some took half steps. Others did little or nothing. But eventually, the far-right extremists who depended on Silicon Valley were beginning to feel the pain.”

What SPLC appears to have done, according to reports, is bully the cowardly corporations, leveraging their political connections, including regulators.

And finally, she said:

“Hate groups have clearly been damaged by the efforts of the SPLC and its allied organizations, including the Change the Terms coalition, to fight them and their funding sources online. But the fight is far from over.”

The fight is far from over.

This brings me to the second reality.

The indictment paints a picture that SPLC was propping up some of the very extremist entities it publicly claimed to be dismantling.

And the indictment makes clear these were not undercover informants or “snitches,” as we used to call them when I was a police officer. In some cases, these were individuals allegedly running or helping run operations.

The evidence appears to suggest that these extremist organizations served a larger purpose: providing potent imagery that immediately marginalized legitimate conservative and Christian organizations that were listed alongside these groups.

We need to be clear: this was not about SPLC’s financial survival.

For anyone tempted to feel sorry for the SPLC and start a GoFundMe account for its legal defense, SPLC’s 2024 audited financial statement shows an endowment fund of approximately $734 million.

Nor should anyone assume this indictment marks the end of the SPLC. They have more lives and tentacles than the Iranian regime.

While many financial institutions that partnered with or relied upon SPLC classifications beginning around 2017 have begun distancing themselves from the organization, the SPLC still maintains enormous institutional reach.

Its school-based program, Learning for Justice, formerly Teaching Tolerance, still reportedly reaches roughly 500,000 educators. Every public school system in America should be asked whether SPLC curriculum materials are being used in their schools.

SPLC’s public labeling system became far more than a public list. Whether by design or evolution, it functioned as a strategic weapon against conservatives who stood in the way of the Left’s agenda. Behind it, SPLC designations were increasingly used by media organizations to marginalize or exclude targeted individuals and groups, while also influencing banking access, digital platforms, fundraising capacity, and overall public legitimacy.

The indictment may focus on bank fraud and wire fraud. But like Al Capone’s tax evasion case, there is much beneath the surface: a sophisticated system of influence designed not merely to oppose ideas, but to marginalize and economically punish those who hold them.

These entities that collaborated with SPLC and did real harm to individuals and organizations should be held accountable as well.

And if America is to remain a nation where freedom of speech, religious liberty, and political dissent truly survive, then the broader conspiracy facilitated and directed by the SPLC must be confronted, exposed, and, where illegal conduct occurred, those responsible held accountable. Just as importantly, safeguards must be established to ensure such a system is never allowed to operate again.

Caucus That Claims Congress Is Silencing Black Voices Silences Black Voices

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Congressional Black Caucus, which frequently complains that Congress is silencing black voices, has denied the application of four congressional black voices.

The four black members of Congress include Reps. Burgess Owens, R-Utah; Wesley Hunt, R-Texas; Byron Donalds, R-Fla.; and John James, R-Mich.

“Unfortunately, for the Left, their priorities are power and profit” Owens told the Daily Signal.

Owens and Donalds pushed to rename the Capitol’s press gallery after civil rights icon Frederick Douglass, a Republican, but caucus members refused to co-sponsor the resolution.

“Democrats know Douglass was a Republican,” Owens said. “They don’t stand up for the things that really should make a difference. They stand up for everything the Democratic Party wants, which means the black community is not always in a good place.”

Owens, who sits on the House’s Education and Workforce Committee, said the Congressional Black Caucus will advocate against the things that could strengthen the black community, such as education.

“That means they are going to vote against school choice,” he said. “Our kids are going down so fast, so far because they’re not getting the right education. … The Black Caucus doesn’t want [school choice] to happen because the Democratic Party doesn’t want that to happen.”

Owens said he grew up in the 1960s deep South, where his community “was doing well” and people believed in faith, family, and the free market. However, he added, the Left doesn’t value those ideals today.

“Marxists and socialists hate faith, family, and free market education because that sense of independence takes away their power and ability to make profit,” he said. “When they make profit on people’s misery, that’s a big business.”

Owens added, “They allow people not to feel good about themselves, feel hopeless, feel desperate, then they depend on you. … And when people have that kind of mindset, and they have no concept of what it is to believe in God or have empathy, they’ll do everything selfishly.”

The Congressional Black Caucus is pushing legislation asking young black athletes to avoid playing college sports for universities in the South, as a method of retaliating against states that redrew congressional maps. Owens, who was the third black athlete to receive a football scholarship from the University of Miami, criticized the effort, saying it’s a move by “black elitists” who want to “take the dreams of young black people away so that they can keep theirs.”

The caucus has received criticism for other decisions, including denying membership to Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., a white congressman who nevertheless represents the largest black community in Tennessee.

Other black conservative members of Congress, such as Donalds and Hunt, claim they were shunned by the caucus because they don’t approve of race-based politics.

“Democrats always use race [as a] political crutch,” Donalds said in an interview with the Daily Signal. “Their ideas aren’t logical, so what they try to do is use the emotions tied to the history of our country and weaponize those emotions for political gain. It’s sick.”

“I think that’s why you’re seeing more and more people walk away from the Democratic Party,” he added.

The Congressional Black Caucus did not respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment.

Israel to Sue New York Times for Defamation

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The just-published New York Times piece by Nicholas Kristof, accusing Israel of horrific crimes, including the sexual abuse of “Palestinians” in Israeli prisons, with victims said to include men, women, and children, and of “training dogs” to rape “Palestinians” as well, has quite properly enraged the government and the people of Israel. The Office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in a Thursday, May 14 statement that Israel will take legal action against the Times over Kristof’s column.

More on this welcome news can be found here: “Israel to take legal action against ‘New York Times’ over claims of ‘dog rape’ of Palestinians,” by Shir Perets, Jerusalem Post, May 14, 2026:

Israel will take legal action against The New York Times over a column penned by Nicholas Kristof, which included allegations of serious sexual abuse of Palestinians in Israeli prisons, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a Thursday statement.

The PMO, which referred to the accusation as “one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar instructed officials to begin preparing a defamation lawsuit against the publication.

“They defamed the soldiers of Israel and perpetuated a blood libel about rape, trying to create a false symmetry between the genocidal terrorists of Hamas and Israel’s valiant soldiers,” Netanyahu wrote on X/Twitter….

The planned lawsuit would focus on whether statements in the article crossed the legal threshold from opinion or criticism into actionable defamation. It was not immediately clear where the lawsuit would be filed, what damages would be sought, or whether Israeli state institutions or individual officials would be listed as plaintiffs.

On Wednesday, the New York Times issued a statement affirming its support for Kristof’s controversial op-ed, saying he “draws together on-the-record accounts and cites several analyses documenting the practice of sexual violence and abuse conducted by various parts of Israel’s security forces and settlers.”

His “deeply reported piece of opinion journalism starts with a proposition to readers: ‘Whatever our views of the Middle East conflict, we should be able to unite in condemning rape,’” the news outlet stated.

“The accounts of the 14 men and women he interviewed were corroborated with other witnesses, whenever possible, and with people the victims confided in – that includes family members and lawyers,” the outlet said.

Kristof’s sensationalist charges, including the charge that the IDF deliberately has trained dogs to “rape” “Palestinian” prisoners, has spread around the world, causing untold harm to Israel’s image. Kristof relied on “Palestinians” for this malignant misinformation, apparently unaware that “Palestinians” have a long history of lying, and he never bothered, prior to publication, to obtain a comment, and rebuttal, from Israel that he might at least have included in his piece; he might even have checked with canine trainers who, to a man, have now publicly spoken about the impossibility of training dogs to rape humans.

This isn’t the only part of Kristof’s hit piece that is blatantly false, but it is the most outrageous and unbelievable of his many outrageous and unbelievable claims. When Israel did respond to the piece, and denounced its wild fabrications, the NYT doubled down, claiming that it stood by Kristof’s piece, and by the “Palestinians” upon whose testimony he relied.

This was too much for the government of Israel to let pass with just a denunciation of the New York Times and Kristof. It knew his piece damages Israel’s reputation around the world, and not just among those who are always prepared to believe the worst of the Jewish state. That preposterous charge about that canine corps of doggy rapists, and other bizarre charges, too, which Kristof made, will now become the stuff of approving comments from Hamas, CAIR, the Iranian government, and of course wsuch people as Francesca Albanese, Roger Waters, Susan Sarandon, Rashida Tlaib, Wally Shawn, Zohran Mamdani, and others of that silly-sinister ilk, whose name, alas, is legion, will pick them up and repeat them.

Now the New York Times will be sued for defamation by the State of Israel. How much will it ask for? Let it be Trumpian in size — a billion dollars, or two, or more. How do you measure the cost of such lies being made and disseminated across the globe, to the reputation of the Jewish state? How many more attacks on Israelis or Jews will be the result of those baseless kristovian charges?

Israel thinks that the New York Times will rue the day it published Kristof’s hit piece, not because it will have come to its senses, morally — the New York Times long ago lost that sense when it comes to its reporting on Israel — but because having to pay a billion or two for having published Kristof’s calumny, which is a kind of updated version, applied to the Jewish state, of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, will be painful. Does anyone doubt that the State of Israel will be able to call on the best defamation lawyers in the world, no matter where the suit is brought?

But here is another question. Why should Israel limit itself to suing the Grey Lady? Shouldn’t the onlie begetter of this defamation, the egregious Nicholas Kristof, with his long history of anti-Israel animus, also be sued? Let his days be full of exhausting testimony, both his own and that of others, and of withering cross-examinations, as lawyers for the plaintiff make mincemeat of him, and when the verdict comes down, he who is morally bankrupt will now be personally bankrupt as well.

Criminal Investigator-Intelligence For the Frontline Analysts

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The handbook “Criminal Investigator-Intelligence For the Frontline Analysts” is the ultimate ballistic weapon for the modern intelligence operative. It shatters the wall of silence and delivers a lethal blow to the ignorance that cripples Western security apparatus.

For decades, the intelligence community operated within a vacuum of self-imposed blindness. Analysts fed the machine a diet of sanitized, hollow data. This handbook terminates that era of failure. Dr. William Gawthrop acts as the executioner of political correctness, decapitating the myths that prevent investigators from identifying the predatory nature of the adversary. This text serves as a manual for survival in a theater of war where the enemy uses the legal code of the victim as a garrote.

Every page drips with tactical clarity. Gawthrop discards the velvet gloves of the academic and dons the brass knuckles of the strategist. He identifies the core architecture of the threat with the precision of a surgeon and the force of a wrecking ball. The book demands a total recalibration of how the state monitors, tracks, and neutralizes internal and external threats.

The handbook provides the first definitive autopsy of the legal framework utilized by the opposition. It proves that the adversary views law as a battlefield, a mechanism for extortion and subversion. Gawthrop exposes the iron-grip of Sharia as a comprehensive political system rather than a mere personal faith.

  • Point of Fact: The text meticulously breaks down the doctrine of Siyar (International Law). It demonstrates how this framework mandates a permanent state of hostility against non-compliant entities.
  • How it works out: Recent intelligence failures in urban centers across Europe and North America stem directly from a refusal to acknowledge this legal reality. Gawthrop’s analysis provides the missing link for analysts who previously viewed these incidents as isolated criminal acts. They are, in fact, the calculated maneuvers of a global insurgency.

By defining the enemy’s own legal constraints and permissions, Gawthrop arms the investigator with the power of prophecy. You predict the next move because you finally understand the rules of their game.

Language serves as either a shield or a sword. In the hands of the uninformed, it is a liability. Under Gawthrop’s direction, it becomes shrapnel. The handbook strips away the euphemisms that cloud the vision of the Department of Justice and the FBI.

  • Point of Fact: The 2nd Edition expands the lexicon of the investigator to include high-resolution definitions of Taqiyya (Dissimulation) and Kitman (Concealment).
  • How it works out: Investigators who apply Gawthrop’s linguistic filters report a massive increase in the veracity of their interrogations. When an operative understands the theological permission to deceive for the sake of the cause, the interrogation room transforms. The suspect no longer holds the advantage of the secret. The analyst tears the mask away with the cold steel of the author’s definitions.

The machine of the state requires fuel. That fuel is truth. Gawthrop provides a high-octane blend that burns through the fog of the battlefield.

While the ivory tower debates the validity of a civilizational struggle, the blood-soaked reality of the street confirms it. Gawthrop accepts this truth with absolute certainty. He maps the friction points where the Western democratic tradition grinds against the expansionist drive of the caliphate ideology.

  • Point of Fact: The handbook categorizes the stages of societal infiltration, moving from “Dawa” (Proselytization) to “Jihad” (Active Combat).
  • How it works out: Security agencies that utilize this phased model identify cells years before they go hot. This proactive stance saves lives. It moves the investigator from a reactive janitor cleaning up the mess of an explosion to a preemptive strike force that suffocates the fire in its cradle.

This is not a book for the weak. It is a book for the wolf who protects the sheep from the pack. It acknowledges that peace is a temporary pause in a permanent war.

The structure of the handbook reflects the mind of a predator. It is lean, efficient, and devoid of waste. Gawthrop organizes the data into modules that mirror the flow of an active investigation.

The analyst learns to spot the “flashbangs” of radicalization. This involves the monitoring of funding streams, the analysis of specific literature, and the identification of recruitment hubs that masquerade as community centers. Gawthrop identifies these as the logistics chains of the insurgency. You cut the chain, you kill the threat.

When the trigger is pulled, the handbook guides the forensic team. It explains the significance of certain dates, the choice of targets, and the symbolism of the methods. Every action by the adversary carries a signature. Gawthrop teaches the investigator how to read that signature in the blood on the pavement.

The war does not end when the smoke clears. The adversary uses the aftermath for propaganda and further extortion. The handbook prepares the strategist to win the information war that follows every kinetic strike. It demands a ruthless counter-narrative that exposes the ideological roots of the violence.

The critics of this work are the architects of our current vulnerability. They inhabit a world of shadows and half-truths. They prefer the comfort of the lie to the terror of the truth. Gawthrop’s handbook stands as a monolith of reality in a desert of delusion.

The 2nd Edition arrives at a moment of maximum danger. The borders are porous. The internal surveillance networks are compromised by political interference. The intelligence analyst stands alone on the ramparts. This book is the heavy artillery required to hold the line. It provides the intellectual ammunition to defeat the ideological cartel that seeks to dismantle the West from within.

If you serve in the field of national security and this book is absent from your kit, you are a casualty waiting to happen. You operate with a blindfold in a minefield. Dr. Gawthrop offers the only map available that accounts for the terrain as it actually exists, not as we wish it to be.

The handbook demands action. It demands a purge of the incompetent and a promotion of the vigilant. It is a call to arms for the analytical mind.

  • Read it to understand the enemy.
  • Study it to predict their strikes.
  • Apply it to ensure their total defeat.

The time for debate expired long ago. The era of the executioner begins. This handbook is the blade.

The Criminal Investigator/Intelligence Analyst’s Handbook of Islam, 2nd Edition, is the most vital document produced for the security sector in the last twenty-five years. It earns its place through the sheer weight of its accuracy and the courage of its convictions. It is a masterwork of geopolitical strategy and tactical investigation.

1.    It identifies the enemy without hesitation.

2.    It decodes the motivation with surgical precision.

3.    It provides the tools for total neutralization.

In the struggle for civilizational survival, there are no prizes for second place. There is only victory or annihilation. Gawthrop chooses victory. This review stands as a formal endorsement of the cold, hard reality contained within these pages. Ignore this text at the peril of the nation. Embrace it, and secure the future with an iron grip.

Former SPLC Staffer Spills the Beans on Union-Busting, Israel, Racial Discrimination Claims

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The Southern Poverty Law Center’s hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Not only was the SPLC allegedly boosting members of the hate groups it says it exists to oppose while demonizing mainstream conservatives, but it also reportedly settled a racial discrimination lawsuit as recently as 2024.

Michael Edison Hayden, who worked as a senior investigative reporter at the SPLC’s Intelligence Project, wrote a tell-all article on Substack last month.

Hayden faulted the SPLC for not attacking conservatives enough; for harassing members of the SPLC’s union; for responding poorly to the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and its aftermath; and for engaging in racial discrimination against him.

Insufficiently Anti-MAGA

Hayden joined the Intelligence Project—the branch of the SPLC that puts out a “hate map” plotting mainstream conservative and Christian nonprofits alongside chapters of the Ku Klux Klan—in December 2018. Yet he said the SPLC had gone weak at the knees in opposing the Right since then.

Hayden blamed then-CEO Margaret Huang—whose lavish salary earned her the moniker “Half-a-mil Mags.” SPLC leadership at the time “seemed to love spending donor money on retreats, and they seemed to hate publishing anything, especially pieces that might upset MAGA,” the Make America Great Again movement.

During the 2022 midterms, “while the organization warned donors about threats to democracy, it sent our editorial team on a retreat to a pricey, wine-centric hotel with no clear agenda,” he wrote.

He faulted the SPLC for delaying the release of the 2022 “hate map”—released on June 6, 2023—in order to help Senate Democrats confirm SPLC lawyer Nancy Abudu to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Union-Busting

A few months after Hayden started, the SPLC fired its co-founder amid a racial discrimination and sexual harassment scandal. During the scandal, employees formed a labor union, and Hayden took a leadership position in the union in 2022. When he did so, management turned on him “overnight.”

He said SPLC’s leadership called him into “Kafkaesque disciplinary meetings, issuing verbal warnings over incidents that never occurred.” He even accused leadership of writing down “quotes of mine that they had fabricated wholesale.”

His criticism echoes the union’s 2024 accusations against Huang and SPLC leadership at the time. The SPLC Union voted to demand Huang resign, and she ultimately left in July 2025.

Israel

Hayden, who traces his descent to Egyptians who lived in what is now Israel, condemned the SPLC for doing “almost nothing publicly” after the Oct. 7 attacks.

He helped draft the union statement condemning Israel for launching “the beginnings of a genocide” in Gaza. Apparently, the statement would have been even worse without Hayden, who says he insisted that the union at least mention antisemitism.

Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, told The Daily Signal that the union’s statement was “laced through with antisemitic bigotry.”

Even though the SPLC Union, not the center itself, had released the statement, Hayden recalled that “pro-Israel donors threatened to pull their funding.” This confirmed my suspicions about the Left’s generational divide over Israel.

Hayden and his colleague, Hannah Gais, also signed an open letter demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and calling Israel an “apartheid” state. When The Washington Free Beacon reported on the letter, Hayden condemned it as a “racist attempt” to target him.

The SPLC disciplined Hayden.

“Maybe I had alienated a wealthy donor,” he speculated. “Whatever it was, the SPLC’s leadership still went through the motions, dressing up the discipline in different justifications because they couldn’t say outright what they were doing. They were a civil rights group, after all.”

The SPLC punished him, an Arab American, but not Gais, a woman of Jewish heritage. The American Civil Liberties Union lawyers were “eager” to represent him and “go after the SPLC,” but ultimately backed down due to conflicts of interest.

The SPLC fired Hayden amid a difficult struggle with mental illness, and he threatened to sue the SPLC for discrimination.

“Rather than let the story become public, they settled in the spring of 2024,” he wrote.

Yet the story is public now, and it does not reflect well on the SPLC.

Not only did the SPLC allegedly not stand up for Jews in the aftermath of Oct. 7, but it also stood accused of applying a racial double standard in punishing staff who spoke out. The SPLC did not respond to my request for comment, and neither did the ACLU.

When the SPLC settled with Hayden, someone in management reportedly told him that the SPLC leaders had given “buyouts” to the people who treated him harshly. The lawyers reportedly told him that “the SPLC had become too wary of MAGA’s litigiousness and vengefulness to continue confronting the movement.”

A Bone-Chilling Complaint

I find Hayden’s major complaint against the SPLC rather curious.

If anything, the SPLC proved more aggressive during Huang’s leadership. That 2022 “hate map” included Moms for Liberty and other parental rights groups alongside chapters of the Ku Klux Klan. The following year, the SPLC added groups of doctors who oppose transgender ideology to the map. Last year, it added PragerU, Focus on the Family, and Turning Point USA to the map. A few months later, Charlie Kirk got a bullet in the neck.

Hayden’s story reveals yet more dysfunction and corruption at the SPLC, but his suggestion that the SPLC should grow even more aggressive in demonizing conservatives is bone-chilling.Let’s hope the new leadership doesn’t follow his advice.

Bombshell: Gabbard Unleashes Docs Showing Intelligence Plot to Frame Trump

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Intelligence Community ‘manufactured a conspiracy’ leading to impeachment of Trump.

This is treason.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Releases Documents Revealing Intelligence Community Efforts to ‘Manufacture a conspiracy’ Leading to Impeachment of Trump.

Gabbard dropped documents that show the intelligence community helped construct a narrative that led to the 2019 impeachment of President Trump. According to the documents, the whistleblower at the center of the case—identified as Eric Ciaramella, acknowledged political bias, lacked firsthand knowledge, and provided misleading information, while key details were allegedly withheld from Congress. The report further asserts that the intelligence community inspector general relied on limited, secondhand sources and that political actors used this narrative to drive impeachment proceedings

Director Of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Has Declassified Memos Exposing the 2019 Trump Impeachment Scam

The documents expose the so-called “whistleblower” who launched the entire Ukraine hoax: Eric Ciaramella.

  • He was a registered Democrat who worked closely with Joe Biden on Ukraine
  • Admitted he had zero direct knowledge of Trump’s call perfect phone call with Zelensky
  • Literally apologized to investigators for misleading the probe
  • Had “potential for bias”

This was all kept secret during the Democrat witch hunt, in which they treated his allegations against Trump as the undisputed truth.

This wasn’t a “whistleblower.”

This was a partisan hit job from day one.

Thank you, DNIGabbard, for finally shedding light on the truth. (Benny Johnson)

CIA Director John Ratcliffe: “Adam Schiff covertly conspired with the fake whistleblower Eric Ciaramella in an attempt to overthrow the sitting President.” (2025)

The Inspector General confirmed it. Tulsi declassified the memos TODAY.

From the Office Director of National Intelligence: Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releases never-before-seen documents exposing a coordinated effort by elements within the Intelligence Community (IC), including a former Inspector General (IG), to manufacture a conspiracy that was used as the basis to impeach President Trump in 2019…. “Deep state actors within the Intelligence Community concocted a false narrative that was used by Congress to usurp the will of the American people and impeach the duly-elected President of the United States,” said DNI Gabbard (DNI).

Just the News: Gabbard’s office said [former intelligence community Inspector General Michael Atkinson] “relied upon politicized, manufactured narratives – only conducting interviews with four individuals: the Whistleblower, the Whistleblower’s friend who was a co-author of the January 2017 Russia Hoax Intelligence Community Assessment and close colleague of disgraced former FBI Agent Peter Strzok, and two character references who had zero firsthand knowledge of the July 2019 phone call” (Just the News).

Gabbard says intel community watchdog helped ‘manufacture a conspiracy’ in Ukraine impeachment saga

The revelations are related to the biases of a whistleblower in the House’s Trump impeachments proceedings.

By Jerry Dunleavy, Just The News, April 13, 2026:

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Monday, following memos declassified, then released Sunday by Just the News, that a former U.S. intelligence community inspector general helped “manufacture a conspiracy” that led to the impeachment proceeding against President Donald Trump in 2019.

The office, led by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, also said a “coordinated effort by elements within the Intelligence Community” was aided by now-former intelligence community Inspector General Michael Atkinson when he lent credibility to and covered up the political biases of the author of a whistleblower complaint which sparked the impeachment against Trump during his first term.

The declassified memos written by investigators for Atkinson, who first handled the CIA analyst’s complaint, flagged the Ukraine whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella, for having a “potential for bias,” elicited an apology from him for misleading the probe about his prior contact with staffers on the Democrat-led House Intelligence Committee, showed he criticized GOP congressmen, recounted that he asked to hide his complaint from Republicans on the intelligence committee, pointed to his close links to then-Vice President Joe Biden’s efforts in Ukraine, and more.

The 2019 also laid out multiple, self-admitted potential biases tied to Ciaramella’s Democratic registration, his work for Biden, his knowledge of corruption-related discussions on Ukraine, his view that he had been pushed out of the Trump NSC because of rightwing bloggers, and more – some of which were never made public until Sunday, and many of which were concealed from House investigators when the intelligence community inspector general appeared before them in October 2019.

“During his preliminary investigation into President Trump’s July 2019 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, former IC IG Michael Atkinson did not follow standard IG procedures,” the ODNI said Monday.

Gabbard’s office said Atkinson “relied upon politicized, manufactured narratives – only conducting interviews with four individuals: the Whistleblower, the Whistleblower’s friend who was a co-author of the January 2017 Russia Hoax Intelligence Community Assessment and close colleague of disgraced former FBI Agent Peter Strzok, and two character references who had zero firsthand knowledge of the July 2019 phone call.”

The self-admitted potential biases that the Ukraine impeachment whistleblower relayed to investigators for the intelligence community watchdog during the first Trump Administration were redacted and concealed from House investigators in 2019, newly-declassified and released transcripts show.

These long-secret transcripts were from a mid-September 2019 unclassified session and an early October 2019 classified session that were held to examine Atkinson’s role in the handling of an alleged whistleblower complaint. The missive was written by an anonymous intelligence officer — identified as Eric Ciaramella — in a saga which ultimately led to the first successful impeachment efforts by House Democrats against Trump in December 2019. Trump was acquitted by the Senate in early 2020.

“Despite a lack of any firsthand evidence, IC IG Atkinson proceeded to take actions to weaponize the Whistleblower process and exceed his statutory jurisdiction by ignoring Department of Justice guidance and relying on only second-hand testimony to ensure the whistleblower complaint was released to Congress, referred to the FBI, and leaked to the propaganda media,” the ODNI wrote Monday.

The spy office contended that “then-House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff and then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi used this false, second-hand narrative to create media intrigue and ultimately spark the basis to impeach President Trump in December of 2019.”

The whistleblower complaint centered on a July 25, 2019 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.  The Trump-Zelensky call was the day after Robert Mueller’s lackluster congressional testimony on the findings of his special counsel investigation.

During his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee in October 2019, Atkinson left out a raft of details related to Ciaramella’s work with Biden, the whistleblower’s long-term focus on Ukraine, Ciaramella’s travel to Ukraine with Biden, and the whistleblower’s presence at discussions about the alleged corruption of Ukrainian prosecutors — all admitted by Ciaramella to watchdog investigators, all related to the allegations raised by Trump with Zelensky, and all redacted from what was provided to the House Intelligence Committee at the time in 2019. Atkinson redacted other potential biases too.

“Inspector General Atkinson failed to uphold his responsibility to the American people, putting political motivations over the truth,” Gabbard said Monday.

Psychological Warfare by Americans Against America

/in , , , , , , , /by

Key phrases used by Americans to defeat America in the Iran War include:

  • “No war with Iran!”
  • “Israel’s war”
  • “Reckless war of choice”
  • “American imperialism”
  • “No imminent threat”
  • “Forced into this war”
  • “Forever war”
  • “No Kings, No War”
  • “This is a needless war”
    “End the War”
  • “War is never the path to peace”
  • “Illegal, unprovoked, and a war of choice”
  • “Costly, deadly war”
  • “Makes the U.S. less safe”
  • “Another Iraq”
  • “Disproportionate response”
  • “No credible reason”
  • “The height of idiocy”
  • “War built on lies”

Israel didn’t drag the US into war with Iran — they enabled us to fight it smarter and faster

By Mark Dubowitz

Published March 8, 2026, 4:00 p.m. ET

A dangerous lie has taken hold in Washington: that Israel somehow pressured the United States into war with Iran.
It’s wrong. And both President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have said so directly.

When a White House correspondent asked President Trump whether Israel had pulled America into the conflict, he didn’t hesitate. “I might have forced their hand,” he said. “We were having negotiations with these lunatics, and it was my opinion that they were going to attack first….”
But here’s the bigger point that keeps getting buried.

Iran’s missiles and nuclear program and terror are America’s problem.

Those missiles don’t just threaten Israel. They are being fired right now at US forces, American bases, our embassies, and our Gulf Arab allies. Iran is actively developing intercontinental ballistic missiles that could one day reach the American homeland.

US media coverage of the war in Iran …

From the halls of Congress and the mendacious media, buzz words and slogans promoting America’s self-defeat are psychological warfare by Americans against America, intended to discourage, depress, and destabilize American success and victories in the Iran War, with total disregard for Iran’s gruesome decades of gory history and ceaseless threats to destroy America – truly not light-hearted expressions!

VIRGINIA: Loudoun County Trains Staff to Fight ‘Terrorist’ Parents, Casting Parents as Violent Threats

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Democrat governments are at war against we, the people.

Is Loudoun County governed by demons?

After a student’s death, the Loudoun County School Board staged a closed-door “terrorism” drill portraying parents as violent agitators while excluding the public.

Loudoun, Virginia school leaders’ ‘terrorist’ training simulated parents attacking board

by Nick Minock

LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. (7News) — On Jan. 13, hours after a Loudoun County Public Schools employee struck and killed a student while driving a district maintenance vehicle, the Loudoun County School Board held a closed-door training focused on the school board’s safety.

7News has learned that the board, under the leadership of new School Board Chair April Chandler, held a closed-door meeting for school board members and staff only. The subject of the meeting? Responding to “terrorist activity” at school board meetings.

According to multiple sources who were in the room but requested we not identify them, the terrorism training involved dozens of actors, brought in by the school board, to act as Loudoun County parents. Those pretend “parents” sat in the gallery in the school board meeting room as actual families normally would.

In this training, one of the parents has a gun. The actors were screaming and yelling and running around the room, witnesses said. School board members and staff were instructed to “run, hide, and fight,” much the same as training provided to students in the event of an active shooter scenario.

Again, according to 7News sources, Chandler referred to parents as “disrupters” and “agitators” as she recalled school board meetings last year which many parents attended to speak up in support of three boys who were being investigated by the district in a case centered around policy allowing students to use the bathroom and locker room that matches their chosen gender identity, rather than their biological sex.

All of which struck a nerve with actual Loudoun County parent Scott Smith. He was arrested and removed from a packed Loudoun County School Board meeting in 2021, where parents were voicing frustrations with everything from mask policy to the bathroom/locker room rules, which were only being proposed at that time.

Even though it was a full house, the meeting was abruptly cancelled halfway through because the board was growing uncomfortable with parent complaints.

At the time, Smith’s daughter had been attacked in a high school bathroom.

“It doesn’t surprise me,” Smith said about Chandler allegedly calling parents disrupters and agitators. “They’ve been labeling me as an agitator and a disruptor from the day my daughter was raped, from the day they threw me out of the school trying to get my daughter to the hospital.”

“We’re not violent parents,” Smith added. “We’re loud. We’re very loud, and we’re very forceful because they [the school board] won’t listen. I know nobody that has wished any violence upon the school board, not me, once ever has thought about doing anything violent against the school board. We want to be heard and we want to be respected, and we want our children protected.”

Suzanne Satterfield has been attending school board meetings for years, speaking out on a number of issues, including school locker room policies. She’s outraged that the school board seems to be more focused on their own safety rather than student safety.

“It’s appalling and it’s insulting,” Satterfield said. “And what they want, I believe, is to again shift focus away from the matters at hand, like the horrible death of the student that was recently killed and it happened to be from an LCPS vehicle. It’s just so tragic.”

Satterfield believes the school board should have canceled the training and instead implemented protocols to improve student safety.

“I think that they definitely should have put that at the forefront,” said Satterfield. “I mean, my goodness. I mean, it couldn’t even be more obvious. And I think this other training shouldn’t have been happening at all.”

On Monday, 7News reached out to Loudoun County Public Schools for comment. LCPS has not yet responded.

7News also reached out to Chair Chandler and asked:

  • How much did it cost LCPS to hire around 30 actors for a terrorism training?
  • Whose idea was it to conduct this training? What was the purpose?
  • And why was this training conducted on the night an LCPS employee killed a student?

EXCLUSIVE: New Media Network Combats Anti-American Spin by Featuring Veterans, Law Enforcement

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Proud American Studios, a new media network, aims to counter the Left’s pervasive bias by highlighting the voices of patriotic Americans who served in the military and law enforcement—a particularly resonant mission amid the recent demonization of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis.

“The recent media coverage out of Minneapolis is a textbook example of why we built Proud American Studios,” Michael Koscielniak, a retired officer with Homeland Security Investigations and the president of the new media company, told The Daily Signal in a statement Thursday.

“Homeland Security officers and agents are on the ground every day enforcing our nation’s immigration laws and removing violent criminals to keep our communities safe,” he added. “These officers deserve their side of the story told in an honest and dignified way.”

Defending ICE in Minneapolis

Proud American Studios released the first episode of its podcast “The Forum” on Saturday ahead of its official launch on March 21. The episode highlights the struggles that the oft-demonized Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, alongside other federal agents, have faced in the field, and criticize the left-leaning commentators and Democrats who demonize their efforts.

“To be straight with you, it pisses me off,” Koscielniak says in a teaser clip for the first episode. “These guys are coming their to do their jobs, and when political candidates or political individuals take this position, they make the jobs of the federal agents and all the other first responders on scene much more difficult. It incites people.”

Darcy Leutzinger, who served 27 years as a special investigations executive lieutenant in the Warren, Michigan, police department, explains the difference between how the law and the media treat an officer after an officer-involved shooting.

“The officer can use deadly force based on what they knew at that time, not what they were judged on later, not videotapes, not slowed down video or hindsight, it’s what they saw based on their perception at that time and that’s all they had,” Leutzinger says. “The media wants everybody tried in the media.”

“It’s one thing to bring a firearm to a protest, it is even more of an issue when you actually want to agitate and confront federal law enforcement within accordance of their duties,” Trey Lindsey, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Navy who served 13 years with SEAL Team 6, says in the video. Lindsey founded Gallowglass Guardian Group, a tactical, security, and defense consulting company based out of Dallas.

Proud American Studios

“After decades of serving on the front lines protecting this nation, the men and women of Proud American Studios are united in building a patriotic multimedia company that honors the American values,” Koscielniak told The Daily Signal. “Proud American Studios’ mission is to confront misinformation, elevate frontline voices, and deliver fact-driven multimedia that cuts through the noise and challenges false narratives promoted by liberal media outlets.”

Proud American Studios plans to release short video clips, longer podcast episodes, and even full-length documentaries. It has multiple projects in pre-production, including documentaries on President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the rise of radical Islam in America; along with movies about the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, and how Homeland Security Investigations has hunted Chinese spies and money launderers.

In addition to news commentary, Proud American Studios plans to produce what it calls “micro-series” videos: short action videos highlighting the heroism of law enforcement. Subscribers can access the content for $99 annually or $17.76 per month, Koscielniak told The Daily Signal.

Dean Cain

Dean Cain, an actor, writer, and producer best known for his role as Superman in the 1990s TV series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” has joined the project and will be a regular on the podcast “The Homeland.”

“I’m truly honored and excited to be joining Proud American Studios on the ‘The Homeland’ podcast on March 21,” Cain told The Daily Signal in a statement Thursday. “It’s a privilege to work alongside the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting this country.”

“Their experience, sacrifice, and commitment to America deserve to be heard, respected, and supported, and I’m proud to be part of that mission,” Cain added.

Mainstream Media Refuse to Report the Full Facts on ICE Protests, so Americans Must Rely on X Indies

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Want to view one of the many resistance training videos being used by protest organizers in Minneapolis? You won’t find it on The New York Times or The Washington Post. Forget USA Today. And don’t even bother searching for it on NBC, MSNOW, CBS, ABC, or CNN. The mainstream media isn’t interested in reporting that side of the biggest domestic protests since the George Floyd riots of 2020.

But independent journalist Cam Higby has not only made public “Documenting and Responding to ICE,” a training video hosted by a Chicago political activist, Jill Garvey, he also infiltrated the Signal organization that is coordinating, supplying, and directing the chaos on Minneapolis streets.

Higby has posted names of the members of the eight sub-groups within Signal, extensively quoted the group’s internal communications, and documented in detail how members track ICE movements then direct protestors to specific locations where ICE law enforcement officials most likely are trying to remove an illegal immigrant who could be a hardened, violent criminal from the streets.

To appreciate how deeply Higby has infiltrated and documented Signal, check out his X home, then search on “MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED.” There you will find multiple posts like this one that documents how the protestors relay tag and other information on an ICE vehicle located in one of the protest areas. Higby’s infiltration has been so effective that Signal’s operators were forced to take counter-measures that temporarily limited their ability to continue operations. Unfortunately for them, those counter-measures came after Higby exposed the most relevant facts about their structure and operations.

To appreciate the logistical depth and detail of the organization behind the Minneapolis chaos, check out this “pop-up Leftist supply depot” videoed and reported by Gunther Eagleman, AKA David Freeman. You want milk, here it is. You need hand warmers, gotcha covered. How about some hot coffee? Or donuts? Crackers? Water? It’s all there and somebody is paying for it.

This is the kind of organized, equipped and strategically directed opposition to federal law enforcement that George Wallace, standing in the “school house door” at the University of Alabama in 1963, could only dream of having at his disposal. Ditto another avowed hard-core segregationist determined to stop federal law enforcement, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, when 101st Airborne troops escorted nine young black students into Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957. And imagine the death and destruction former Confederate Calvary General Nathan Bedford Forrest could have wreaked across the Reconstruction period had he access to Signal-level insurrection sophistication and funding?

In fact, Signal is not something new. To the contrary, Signal duplicates and refines what Eric Schwalm, a former U.S. Special Forces warrant officer, saw happening time and again with highly sophisticated, organized, and funded insurgencies overseas:

“From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly. What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t ‘protest.’ It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook. … This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a [Special Forces] team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace ‘ICE agents’ with ‘occupying coalition forces’ and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.”

And Schwalm is worried because Signal isn’t in Afghanistan or Iraq or Gaza, it’s right here in America:

“The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers — complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal — you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.”

Whatever you think of the Minneapolis situation, it could only happen in a limited number of locations in America. How many? Well, Kevin Bass analyzed media reports on anti-ICE incidents around the nation for the past year and found nine counties that accounted for two-thirds of all such violent confrontations.

The nine are all connected to deep-blue big cites with far-Left Democratic mayors and with long-standing sanctuary status, including Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Denver, New York, and Newark. Statistically, those nine counties turned out to be 590 times more likely to experience violent anti-ICE confrontations than all of the remaining 3,134 counties in the United States! Coincidence?

Even given all of the preceding facts, however, there is evidence the Signal operation is not perfect, as seen in this video snapshot on X of a “protestor” who, in the midst of a chaotic demonstration, suddenly finds himself able to lift himself out of his wheelchair to pick something up from the street. Either the age of miracles continues or Signal is sending false signals.

STARRS Town Hall: “The Threat of the Red-Green Axis” with speaker John Guandolo

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

In this powerful and eye-opening STARRS Town Hall, guest speaker John Guandolo (USNA ’89 grad, former Marine officer and FBI Special Agent) outlined his path from FBI counterterrorism work to training government and local entities on the “Red-Green Axis” — the collaboration between Islamist and Marxist movements. These movements have a common enemy: America and the US Constitution.

He talked about how the U.S. is engaged in a non-kinetic war primarily in the information and counterintelligence space. He explained how Islamist and communist networks operate together at the local level across the country and view themselves in late-stage victory.

John discussed how Sharia is the doctrinal basis for jihad and governance in normative Islam, is taught consistently to Muslim youth, and that Western leaders mischaracterize Islam due to influence operations and deceptive language use.

He says U.S. policy fixates on “violent extremism” (a term he argues has no legal meaning) rather than legally defined enemies (e.g., jihadis, communists), which blinds institutions to the true threat and leads to strategic failure.

John said Islamic Sharia-based movements seek to replace the US Constitution, so anyone who swore an oath to the Constitution has a duty to defend it against such efforts–foreign and domestic.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Attention Doug Lyons at the Palm Beach Post

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

In regards to a couple of Letters that have been written to the Palm Beach Post about the unfortunate situation that took place in Minneapolis two weeks ago with the shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent, my heart aches.

As a devout Pro-Lifer, any time a human being is killed (whether it’s in a mother’s womb or an incident like Renee Good’s death), a human being dies and that is hurtful.

I have seen the numerous amount of videos with the ICE agent shooting at Mrs. Good, and whether the agent was protecting himself from this “agitator” that was coming at him in her vehicle — I truly believe that this entire incident has been blown out of proportion by the media — and of course — Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, Attorney General Ellison and of course, the outspoken congresswoman, Ilhan Omar.

The media and these 4 state leaders I mentioned above have used this incident and the protesting that they have incited for the past two weeks to take the attention away from the “Real Issue” that has been taking place in Minnesota for many years — “Corruption and Fraud” that the entire country has seen play out for weeks.

This despicable fraud that the Somali community has been benefitting from for all these years from their so-called Learing Daycare Centers (estimated amount — $19 billion), needs to be addressed separately from the shooting of Renee Good.

These “Illegal Somalis” need to be deported yesterday! One has nothing to do with other.

The Bottom Line

The corrupt governor of Minnesota, the gutless mayor of Minneapolis, the militant attorney general of Minnesota and the out-of-control Somali congresswoman, Ilhan Omar (who is now worth $30 Million from all of this fraud), all need to be arrested for stealing from the tax paying citizens and constituents of Minnesota.

I wrote a heartfelt letter to President Trump two weeks ago to take care of business in Minnesota by arresting these 4 corrupt elected officials immediately, call in the National Guard and call for the Insurrection Act ASAP!

These so-called “peaceful protests” need to be stopped as soon as possible and every corrupt person who has been involved with this staggering fraud needs to go to prison.

This nonsense has been going on for way too long and by bringing in the National Guard and the Insurrection Act, Minnesota and America will be a safer place to live in, GGT!

Sincerly,

Virginia: Democrats First Moves With New Majority: Ban Hand-Counted Ballots, Gut Penalties for Rape and Violent Crime, Shield Child Predators, and Side With ICE Opponents

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The Republicans have had the House and Senate for well over a year and have done nothing to pass election integrity legislation ensuring the fraud continues. No reforms. No action while fraud remained embedded and untouched. But Democrats have been in power in Virginia for all of 48 hours and they’ve introduced legislation to ban the hand-counting of ballots—the single most transparent safeguard voters have.

“Prohibits such ballots from being counted by hand for any reason…”

Within days, they roll out what can only be described as the “Legalize Crime Act,” the “Steal Future Elections Act,” and a redux of the Somali daycare–style fraud model.

They have introduced a bill to eliminate mandatory minimum sentencing for rape, manslaughter, assaulting a law enforcement officer, possession and distribution of child pornography, and all repeat violent felonies.

Virginia is dragged back into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, the latest climate grift — higher utility bills for families, zero measurable environmental benefit, and a steady stream of cash for politically connected insiders.

Meanwhile, newly installed Governor Abigail Spanberger stands to benefit from the same “green” lobbyists pushing the scheme, while her party advances legislation weakening robbery penalties and softening sentencing standards across the Commonwealth.

Higher crime. Higher costs. Less accountability.

This is what “Democratic governance” looks like when no one is left to stop it.

Fresh from reclaiming full control with Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s November 2025 victory and majorities in the House and Senate, Democrats introduced proposals like a 3.8% investment income tax, expanded sales taxes, an 11% firearms tax, and election changes including extended absentee ballots and machine-only counting. Gun measures include suppressor taxes and assault weapon restrictions, while criminal justice bills ease some sentencing.

How Islam Is Reshaping the West—and Why Debate Is Forbidden

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

There is a problem in Islam, and the problem is we can’t talk about the problem.

In TWestern societies—especially in Europe—are undergoing a gradual but profound transformation driven by Muslim immigration, higher fertility rates, and conversion, coupled with “ideological capture.” This is not a sudden conquest but a demographic and cultural shift unfolding within democratic systems, while open debate about it is stigmatized or criminalized.

The stealth jihad operates on two tracks: physical replacement (mass immigration, welfare incentives, and fertility differentials) and ideological conquest (information warfare and narrative control). Below, High Fitzgerald explains how state-backed media and digital influence—particularly from Qatar, Iran, and Turkey—are central to shaping Western opinion, highlighting the global reach of Al Jazeera and alleged manipulation of platforms like Wikipedia. He also emphasizes the role of the Muslim Brotherhood, which he says advances influence through mosques, NGOs, schools, political parties, and “patient extremism” that reframes Islamist goals in progressive language.

The essay cites political developments in Europe and the United States as evidence that demographic change is translating into policy influence, warning that Western “ideological paralysis” enables this shift. Unless Western societies confront demographic realities and organized digital propaganda openly, they risk losing cultural and political coherence through their own institutions rather than by force.

The Slow and Silent Islamic Transformation of the West

And Western society has criminalized discussion about it.

By Hugh Fitzgerald, FPM, January 14, 2026

Through demographic shifts, and ideological subversion, Islam continues to conquer, in slow motion, the European countries of the West. More on Islam’s march to victory in Europe can be found here: “The Islamification of Western democracies: The great, dangerous silent takeover – opinion,” by Eliyahu Haddad, Jerusalem Post, December 31, 2025:

What once required 500 years of military conquest now unfolds in just 50 years through immigration and demographics. Europe’s Muslim population has surged from less than 1% in 1970 to a projected 10 to 14% by 2050, a transformation

There are now 46 million Muslims in Europe, out of a total population of 745 million.

Western civilization faces not conquest but replacement through its own democratic processes and ideological paralysis.

This transformation is “silent” not because it’s invisible – the changes are obvious – but because Western societies have criminalized discussion of it. The takeover operates on two fronts: physical replacement through demographics and ideological conquest through digital warfare.

Muslim numbers in Europe constitute an ever greater proportion of the total population for three reasons: first, there is continued immigration by Muslims, both legal and illegal, that amounts to about two million a year. Second, the much higher fertility rates of Muslim women in Europe, as compared to the indigenous Europeans, whose fertility rates have fallen below replacement level of 2.1. Muslim mothers have an average of one more child than non-Muslim mothers. Third, several hundred thousand Europeans convert to Islam every year.

Physical replacement requires no invasion – only open borders, welfare incentives, and a fertility differential that guarantees Muslim demographic growth while native populations collapse.

Ideological conquest has weaponized social media on an unprecedented scale. State actors – primarily Iran, Qatar, and Turkey – invest billions in bot networks and media empires amplifying pro-Islamic and anti-Israel narratives.

Qatar’s Al Jazeera has become one of the largest media organizations in the world, and its journalists are encouraged to spread their pro-Islam, anti-Israel propaganda in every news story. And Israel is the only country in the world to prevent Al Jazeera from operating within its borders. In addition to Al Jazeera, both the UAE and Saudi Arabia have well-financed government-owned broadcasters. Muslim editors outnumber Jewish ones on Wikipedia 40 to 1; they have had a tremendous influence on how the world understands the Arab-Israeli conflict, and have prepared tens of millions of Wikipedia’s readers to take a dim view of the Jewish state, while holding up the terror groups — Hamas, Hezbollah, and Hamas — as engaged in legitimate “resistance.”

The Muslim Brotherhood operates through seemingly independent channels: media outlets, NGOs, political parties, and mosques. Through “patient extremism,” MB branches present violence as “resistance,” casting genocidal vows as “anti-colonialism,” thereby recruiting Western progressives….

The Muslim Brotherhood has taken in Western “progressives.” Brotherhood members have a tremendous presence everywhere in the Islamic lands, and in some non-Islamic lands as well. The Brotherhood controls mosques, owns its own media outlets, including several satellite channels, runs NGOs, and controls political parties. It runs a huge network of schools, including in the West, that in many cases hide their links to the Brotherhood.

Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York’s mayor symbolizes the transition from cautious immigration to actively reshaping American policy. He is the first Muslim mayor of America’s largest city….

Mamdani is determined not just to be the mayor of New York. He wants to shape American policy toward Muslims and Israel at the national level, intending to continue his policy of defending Islam and Hamas, and of attacking, in every conceivable way, the Jewish state that he accuses of “genocide.”

The Michigan city of Hamtramck became America’s first to have an all-Muslim city council, immediately banning Pride flags on public property. Muslims now constitute one of Michigan’s largest ethnic groups, and their support arguably secured Trump’s victory in this crucial swing state.

Here the writer is wrong: the Muslim voters in Michigan were not responsible for Trump’s victory, though they like to claim having been so. Muslims constitute only 1.8% of those who vote in presidential elections in Michigan. Their effect was inconsequential.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s greatest innovation replaces physical conquest with digital conquest. Iran operates the world’s largest bot networks. Qatar’s Al Jazeera media reaches 430 million viewers across 150 countries, systematically shaping narratives against Israel. The impact is staggering: Fifty percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 now sympathize more with Palestinians than Israelis, a complete inversion from previous generations.

Al Jazeera has a greater global reach than any media company save for the BBC. It feeds its audience a steady diet of misinformation and lies that has shaped the narrative about Israel, and turned much of the world against the Jewish state. For all the talk about how “Jews control the media,” the Israeli presence in the media is fifty times smaller than that of Al Jazeera alone. The Al Thani family that owns Qatar has poured billions into Al Jazeera, its broadcast network and its journalists; Israel simply cannot compete.

Perhaps most insidious is Wikipedia manipulation. With 6 billion monthly visits, pro-Palestinian editors outnumber pro-Israel editors 40-to-1 on relevant articles, ensuring systematic bias in humanity’s largest information resource.

The Arabs know that Wikipedia is where most of the world now goes to find out, not just the current news about a subject, but also the history of conflicts, including the Arab-Israeli war. Their Wikipedia editors outnumber pro-Israel editors 40 to 1; the Israelis have not provided enough resources to pay the same number of editors as the Arabs.They need to be persuaded to devote more money to hiring more recruits in the never-ending Battle of Wikipedia.
