    Explainer: Title 42 is ending at the U.S.-Mexico border. What is it and what happens now?

    WASHINGTON, May 5 (Reuters) – The United States is getting ready to lift COVID-19 restrictions that have blocked migrants caught at the U.S.-Mexico border from seeking asylum since 2020, a major policy shift with humanitarian and political implications.

    WHAT IS TITLE 42?

    The COVID restrictions, known as Title 42, were first implemented under Republican then-President Donald Trump in March 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. At the time, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the order was needed to stem the spread of the coronavirus in crowded detention settings.

    Title 42 allowed border agents to rapidly expel many migrants to Mexico, but some public health experts, Democrats and advocates criticized its health justification, saying it was part of Trump’s goal of curbing legal and illegal immigration.

    President Joe Biden, a Democrat, took office in 2021 vowing to reverse Trump’s restrictive approach, but kept Title 42 in place and expanded it as his administration grappled with record migrant arrests at the U.S.-Mexico border.

    Since its inception, migrants have been expelled more than 2.7 million times under Title 42, although the total includes many repeat crossers and Mexico has generally only accepted certain nationalities.

    WHAT IS HAPPENING THIS MONTH?

    The Biden administration intends to lift Title 42 next Thursday when the U.S. COVID public health emergency ends.

    Migrants caught crossing the border will again be able to request asylum, a process that can take years to resolve.

    U.S. border officials are preparing for a possible increase in illegal crossings, the result of pent-up demand and the perception among migrants that they will be allowed in.

    The numbers are already climbing. In April, the U.S. Border Patrol apprehended some 183,000 migrants, according to preliminary data provided by Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a 13 percent increase from March.

    More than 19,000 migrants are currently being held in U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities, exceeding capacity by 200 percent, according to Judd.

    WHAT IS THE PLAN ONCE TITLE 42 IS GONE?

    To deter would-be migrants after the order is lifted, the Biden administration plans to issue a new regulation. It would deny asylum to most migrants caught crossing if they passed through another country en route to the U.S. without seeking protection or failed to use other legal pathways, which Biden has expanded.

    U.S. authorities aim to process migrants in days and swiftly deport them if they fail an initial asylum screening.

    Nearly 500 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) personnel will temporarily be assigned to help with the interviews and the Pentagon will send 1,500 troops to support the Border Patrol on a temporary basis.

    The new Biden regulation toughening access to asylum is expected to face legal challenges. The administration may also struggle to hold migrants at the border and quickly deport them without additional funds from Congress.

    COULD U.S. COURTS OR CONGRESS KEEP TITLE 42 IN PLACE?

    The CDC tried in April 2022 to end Title 42, saying it was no longer needed to limit the spread of COVID-19 in light of vaccines and other medical advances.

    But a federal judge in Louisiana blocked the termination after a challenge brought by two dozen U.S. states with Republican attorneys general, who argued increased migration would saddle their states with costs.

    The U.S. Supreme Court removed a different Title 42 case from their argument calendar in February after the administration told them the order would end along with the COVID emergency. It is unknown whether legal battles could resume after May 11.

    Separately, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators are trying to pass a bill that would grant immigration authorities the power to expel migrants back to Mexico for another two years, though its prospects for passage are unclear.

    HOW ARE U.S. CITIES RESPONDING?

    U.S. border cities are bracing for a possible rise in migrants when Title 42 ends.

    Migrant apprehensions in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley have increased in recent weeks as more Venezuelans are crossing illegally there, according to the U.S. Border Patrol, and the spike in arrivals is straining shelters.

    The Texas cities of Brownsville, El Paso and Laredo have issued emergency declarations.

    Texas Governor Greg Abbott this week resumed a campaign to bus migrants to Democratic-led cities. The Republican governor blames Biden for the rise in crossings and seeks to lessen the burden on border cities.

    New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat whose city has received thousands of migrants on buses from Texas, has called on the federal government to provide more funding for cities welcoming migrants and to expedite migrant work permits.

  • CIA OPERATIVES COLLUDED WITH TWITTER TO MANUFACTURE J6 EVIDENCE & FRAME TOP INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST

    CIA OPERATIVES COLLUDED WITH TWITTER TO MANUFACTURE J6 EVIDENCE & FRAME TOP INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST

    How Corrupt Is Our Current Situation? It’s Worse Than Most Can Fathom… – The Last Refuge

    The football spiking by AG Merrick Garland today deserves some context, and I am going to take you through a story that will highlight just how bad the situation really is.

    Everything that preceded the 2020 federal election was a complex system of control by a network of ideologues, federal agencies, allies in the private sector, financial stakeholders and corrupt interests all working toward a common goal.  There’s no need to go through the background of how the election was manipulated and how the government and private sector, specifically social media, worked to influence the 2020 outcome because you have all seen it.

    Whether it was local election officials working to control outcomes, federal agencies working to support them (CISA, FBI, DHS), financial interests working to fund them (Zuckerberg et al), or social media platforms controlling the visible content and discussion (Twitter Files, Google, Facebook etc.), the objective was all the same.  It was a massive one-sided operation against the freewill of the American voter.

    In the aftermath of the 2020 election, those same system operators, govt officials, corporate media, private sector groups and social media platforms then circled the wagons to scatter the evidence of their conduct.  If you questioned anything you were a threat.  That’s the context to the dynamic that unfolded.

    Lawfare operatives joined forces with Democrat staffers, and allies in social media platforms all worked in concert to target the voices of anyone who would rise in opposition to the corruption that was stunningly clear in the outcome of the election process.  Corporate media then labeled, isolated, ridiculed and marginalized anyone who dared to point out the obvious.

    When AG Merrick Garland says this of January 6, 2021: […] “the Justice Department has conducted one of the largest, most complex, and most resource-intensive investigations in our history. We have worked to analyze massive amounts of physical and digital data. We have recovered devices, decrypted electronic messages, triangulated phones, and pored through tens of thousands of hours of video. We have also benefited from tens of thousands of tips we received from the public. Following these digital and physical footprints, we were able to identify hundreds of people.” {link} The targeting operation needs context.

    Do you remember on April 27th when DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz recently said, “more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020 and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government.”  The result was “more than 1 million searches of private documents and communication of Americans that were illegal and non-compliant,” and over “10,000 federal employees have access to that database.” {OIG Testimony}.

    Put the statement from Garland together with the statement from Horowitz, and you get an understanding of what was done.

    Hundreds of stakeholders in the Lawfare network joined forces with hundreds of people who became staff researchers for a weaponized Congress.  Hundreds more social media background agents then poured thousands of hours into feeding private information to the DOJ, FBI, J6 Committee and all of their hired staff working on the project.

    How do I know?

    I was one of their targets.

    Before telling the rest of the story, some background is needed.

    I am well versed in the ways of the administrative state and the corrupt systems, institutions and silos that make up our weaponized government. I can (a) see them; (b) predict their activity; and (c) know where their traps and operations are located.

    Traveling the deep investigative weeds of the administrative state eventually gives you a set of skills.  When people ask how the outlines on this website can seem so far ahead of the sunlight that eventually falls upon the outlined corruption, this is essentially why.  When you take these skills on the road, you learn to be a free-range scout, and after a long while you learn how to track the activity.

    When I was outlining how the Fourth Branch of Government works and/or Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop and the DHS system operating inside it, I wasn’t shooting from the hip. However, people will always seek to dismiss the uncomfortable truth.

    Sometimes you just have to wait for the evidence you know exists to surface, or for a situation to unfold that is driven by a self-fulfilling prophecy. The bizarre CTH predictions turn out to be the truth of the issue because they are based on the factual evidence of the issue.

    That level of how the system works came in very handy when I received this subpoena from Chairman Bennie Thompson and the J6 Committee.  Warning, things are about to get very uncomfortable if you don’t accept the scale of corruption that exists.

    Pay attention to the red box on the page shown. This is essentially the probable cause that justifies the subpoena itself.  I have redacted a name in the box for reasons you will see that follow.

    I was never in Washington DC on January 6, 2021, nor did I work with or communicate with anyone who was involved in any of the activities that are subject to the J6 committee investigative authority.

    I’m going to skip a lot of background noise, irrelevant legal stuff, jurisdictional issues, discoveries from discussions with lawyers and the experience gained in association with this ridiculous subpoena.  I am going to focus on the biggest story within it.

    Sticking to the information in the Red Box above, notice how the J6 committee has evidence, “public-source information and documents on file”, showing my participation, communication, and contact with people and technology that are material interests to the committee.

    Here’s the kicker…. I had no clue what the hell they were talking about.  There’s not a single aspect of their outline that I had any knowledge or connection of.

    I had no idea what Zello was. I had no idea who 1% watchdog might be. I had never heard of “Stop the Steal J6” or associated “channel.”  I had never heard of the person redacted, and I had never communicated with any Oath Keeper, any communication system, or platform, or anyone or anything – nothing – that is outlined in that subpoena.

    Those points of evidence outlined in the subpoena had no connection to me at all.

    The subpoena might as well have been asking me to appear in Michigan because my Red Ferrari was involved in a hit and run accident, during my trip to Detroit.  I don’t own a Ferrari; I have never been to Michigan; I certainly never had an accident; I wasn’t on a trip and have never visited Detroit.  The entire construct of their probable cause for the subpoena was silly. Complete and utter nonsense.

    That said, how could there be “public records” and “documentary” evidence of something that never happened?

    At first, I thought this was some silly case of mistaken identity and they just sent a subpoena to the wrong person.  However, the investigators were adamant the evidence existed, and the need for testimony was required.

    After taking advice from several smart people, and after discovering the costs associated with just the reply to the committee and/or representation therein; suddenly I realized there might be more value for me in this subpoena than the committee.  After all, how can there be public-records and documents that I own a red Ferrari and went to Michigan when I don’t and never did.

    After several back and forths I discovered, through their admissions of their own research, and through documents they extracted as an outcome of their tasks to prove the merit of their claims, that someone *inside* Twitter had created a fictitious identity of me associated with the networks and communications as the investigators described them.

    Think about what was discovered here.

    Someone inside the Twitter platform, an employee of Twitter, had made a decision to target me. As a result: (a) they had been doing this for a long time with a specific goal in mind; and (b) they created an elaborate trail of background activity and identity that was entirely fabricated.

    Eventually, my assigned investigative unit admitted this.

    Once, the federal investigators realized what took place they wanted to get rid of me -and my snark filled curiosity- with great urgency.

    They also had an ‘oh shit’ moment, when they contemplated everything, including what they had revealed to me from the outset of my contact, now several months prior.

    What I discovered in this experience was that DHS, and by extension DOJ/FBI and the January 6 investigators, had direct administrative level backdoors into all social media platforms.

    Overlay the Twitter files now, and then expand your thinking….

    In their quest to prove that I owned a Red Ferrari, traveled to Michigan and had a hit-and-run accident, these investigators outlined to me how the United States Government, through their DHS authority, has employees, agents and contractors with open portals into all social media platforms.

    Yes, the federal government is inside the mechanics of the systems (Twitter, Facebook, Meta, Instagram, Google, YouTube, WhatsApp, Zello, etc) and they have administrative access in real time to monitor, review, extract and evaluate everything, soup-to-nuts.

    It was only because the investigators and forensic data knuckleheads have these portals, that they were able to locate the source of the fabricated evidence they were originally attributing to me.  This was an investigative process and research discovery being conducted in the data processing systems of Twitter in real time as they questioned me.

    Once they realized what had taken place, and as soon as I started asking how they were making these admissions (now carrying an apologetic certainty), suddenly the investigators wanted no further contact or communication with me.  You’re good, whoopsie daisy, our bad, sorry.

    Now, take some time to fully digest and absorb what I have just shared.

    The U.S. government is worried about TikTok, because U.S. citizen data might be extracted?

    Meanwhile, the U.S. government, at a fully unrestricted administrative level, is inside Twitter, Facebook, Meta, Insta, YouTube etc., running amok and extracting anything – including private messages… and they’re somehow worried about protecting us from TikTok data collection.  Think about it.

    Provide your thoughts in the comments and I will try to fill in any blanks or questions you might carry.  In the interim, live your best life.

    FBI Record Allegedly Reveals Biden Was Engaged In Criminal Bribery Scheme With Foreign National

    May 4, 2023 at 07:04AM     BREAKING: FBI Record Allegedly Reveals Biden Was Engaged In Criminal Bribery Scheme With Foreign National

    In a new development, an unclassified whistleblower disclosure received by the United States Congress has revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation possesses a record allegedly linking former Vice President Joe Biden to a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national.

    In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, the whistleblower documents describe the alleged scheme in detail, including the exchange of money for policy decisions.

    Senator Chuck Grassley and Representative James Comer, in a joint statement, said that “The DOJ and the FBI appear to have valuable, verifiable information that you have failed to disclose to the American people. Therefore, Congress will proceed to conduct an independent and objective review of this matter, free from those agencies’ influence.”

    The scheme suggests as Vice President, Biden abused his position for personal gain. “Transparency brings accountability,” the letter finished.

    Biden’s Incompetent Secretary of Interior Says She is Unaware China Controls Critical Minerals Needed for Electric Vehicles

    May 2, 2023 at 04:29PM    Biden’s Incompetent Secretary of Interior Says She is Unaware China Controls Critical Minerals Needed for Electric Vehicles (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit

    Joe Biden’s incompetent Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland on Tuesday said she was completely unaware China controls the critical minerals needed for the electric vehicles.

    The Biden Regime is FORCING electric vehicles on the American people and China controls the critical minerals needed for the car batteries.

    Secretary Haaland is clueless.

    Deb Haaland was not chosen to be Biden’s Interior Secretary because she’s qualified for the job.

    She checked a box: First Native American cabinet secretary.

    And this is the result…

    Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) on Tuesday asked Secretary Haaland if she knew what nation was the largest producer of cobalt, lithium and natural graphite.

    “Now, can you tell me what nation is the largest producer of refined lithium in the world?” Hawley asked Haaland.

    “No, I can’t,” she replied.

    “It’s China,” Hawley said. “Can you tell me what nation is the largest producer of refined cobalt in the world?”

    “No, Senator,” she said.

    “It’s China!” Hawley said. “Do you know what nation is the largest exporter of natural graphite to the United States globally?”

    “No, Senator,” Haaland said again.

    “It’s China!” Hawley said.

    Hawley pointed at that the Biden Regime is simultaneously blocking the mining of critical minerals in the US and making us dependent on China.

  • AMERICAN HERO!  Boy Smacks Down School Board For Telling Him He Can’t Wear ‘There Are Only 2 Genders’ Shirt

    AMERICAN HERO! Boy Smacks Down School Board For Telling Him He Can’t Wear ‘There Are Only 2 Genders’ Shirt

    May 2, 2023 at 07:21AM   Video: Boy Smacks Down School Board For Telling Him He Can’t Wear ‘There Are Only 2 Genders’ Shirt

    A 12 year old boy in Middleborough Massachusetts gave his school board a lesson in Constitutional rights after he was told that he was not allowed to wear a t-shirt emblazoned with the statement ‘There are only 2 genders’.

    Liam Morrison, a seventh-grader at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, noted that he was removed from gym class on March 21 by school staff who claimed that the statement on his shirt was “making some students feel unsafe.”

    The teachers told Morrison that he would have to remove the shirt if he wanted to return to class, and he refused.

    Brave Liam related his story to school officials and defiantly defended his First Amendment right to express himself:

    Liam noted that he was also told that the shirt was “targeting a protected class,” to which he asked “who is this protected class and are their feelings more important than my rights?”

    “I don’t complain when I see pride flags and diversity posters hung throughout this school,” he continued, adding “because others have a right to their beliefs just as I do.”

    “Not one person, staff or student, told me they were bothered with what I was wearing, in fact just the opposite, several kids told me they supported what I was doing and they wanted one too,” he added.

    Liam also called out the double standards of school officials, noting that he was told his shirt was ‘disrupting’. “I experience disruptions to my learning every day, kids acting out in class are a disruption and nothing is done. Why are the rules applied to one but not another?” He asked.

    “I know that I have a right to wear a shirt with those five words, at 12-years-old I have my own opinions, and have a right to express those opinions. Even at school, this right is called the first amendment to the constitution,” Liam told the board officials.

    “I have learned a lot from this experience. I learned that a lot of other students share my view. I learned that adults don’t always do the right thing or make the right decisions,” Liam concluded.

    May 1, 2023 at 07:07AM  Chelsea Clinton Comes Out In Favour Of Porn For School Kids

    Bill and Hillary Clinton’s daughter Chelsea Clinton appears to have taken on a new activism project, defending attempts to force kids as young as Kindergarten age to be exposed to sexually explicit “LGBTQ+” material at school.

    Clinton tweeted the following post, claiming that Republicans are trying to “ban” books and that it is harmful to children to remove material with LGBTQ+ “themes”.

    As we have exhaustively covered, the truth is that no one is calling for the books to be banned, but many are calling for the books that contain pornographic images and even pedophilia themes, as well as unscientific statements about biological gender, to be removed from school libraries.

    This material is not age appropriate for children.

    Time for Chelsea Clinton to face some facts:

  • Ron DeSantis Flies To Israel To Destroy Free Speech In Florida

    Ron DeSantis Flies To Israel To Destroy Free Speech In Florida

    April 29, 2023 at 07:17AM   Ron DeSantis Flies To Israel To Destroy Free Speech In Florida – Gab News

    This week Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida made a trip to Israel to sign HB 269, a bill that makes it a felony with up to five years in jail for passing out “offensive” flyers or pamphlets. This move has been widely criticized by free speech advocates and legal experts as a gross violation of the First Amendment. The bill states that anyone distributing “any material for the purpose of intimidating or threatening the owner” could be convicted of a felony “hate crime.” While we often write about the “hate speech” rules on Big Tech platforms, this is far worse. This is the state of Florida violating the First Amendment of the United States.

    The legislation came about after activists from a group called the Goyim Defense League made headlines for several years for their activism efforts. The Goyim Defense League’s activism takes the form of distributing flyers that contain “uncomfortable truths” about the individuals who control the mainstream media in the United States. These flyers have been handed out across multiple states, including Florida, and have been met with mixed reactions from the public.

    Despite the controversy surrounding the flyers, it is worth noting that they contain no threats of violence or threatening language. Rather, they present what the Goyim Defense League sees as a reality about the individuals who control the mainstream media, and invite readers to consider a different perspective. While some might consider this information to be “offensive,” there is nothing inherently threatening or “intimidating” about the distribution of flyers with factual information on them. The flyers even have a statement on them noting that they are “distributed randomly without malicious intent.”

    The First Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. This means that individuals have the right to express their opinions, even if those opinions are controversial or unpopular. The government cannot censor or punish individuals for their speech, unless it poses an imminent danger or threat to others.

    HB 269, however, seeks to criminalize speech that is deemed “intimidating” by the state. This is an extremely vague and subjective standard, and it could be used to silence a wide range of speech that is protected by the First Amendment. It is important to note that the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that speech that some may find offensive is still protected under the First Amendment.

    This isn’t the first time Ron DeSantis has signed anti-First Amendment legislation while in Israel. Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 741, also known as the “Combating Public Disorder” bill, into law on May 14, 2019, in Jerusalem, Israel. The signing ceremony took place at the David Citadel Hotel, where DeSantis was joined by several prominent Jewish leaders and members of the Israeli government.

    The bill aims to protect religious institutions and their members from discrimination and harassment. However, many have argued that it does much more than that, and that it represents a serious threat to free speech and civil liberties.

    One of the main provisions of HB 741 is a requirement that all Florida public schools, colleges, and universities adopt a definition of anti-Semitism that includes certain forms of criticism of Israel. The definition in question is the one adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, which defines anti-Semitism as “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews” and includes examples such as “denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination” and “applying double standards to Israel.”

    Critics of HB 741 argue that this definition is overly broad and could be used to stifle legitimate criticism of Israel and its policies. They point out that the definition includes language that could be interpreted as equating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism, even though the two are not the same thing. They also argue that the definition is not necessary, as schools and universities already have policies in place to address discrimination and harassment.

    Another provision of HB 741 requires law enforcement agencies to conduct training on identifying and responding to anti-Semitic incidents. Many have raised concerns that this provision could be used to target legitimate forms of protest and dissent. For example, if a group of pro-Palestinian activists were to stage a peaceful demonstration outside an Israeli consulate or embassy, could they be accused of engaging in an anti-Semitic incident?

    Perhaps most controversially, HB 741 creates a private right of action for people who believe they have been discriminated against on the basis of their religion. This means that individuals who feel that they have been the victim of anti-Semitic discrimination can sue the alleged perpetrator for damages. This is highly likely to be used to stifle free speech and dissent. For example, a professor who expresses a controversial opinion about Israel could potentially be sued by a student who disagrees with them and feels that their religious beliefs have been discriminated against.

    The fact that Governor DeSantis flew to a foreign country to sign both of these bills is absurd. Florida is a state in the United States, and its laws should be signed within the state’s borders. The reality that Gov. DeSantis chose to sign these bills in Israel, a foreign country, raises serious questions about his priorities and commitment to upholding the Constitution for the citizens of the United States and his state of Florida.

    The implications of HB 269 and HB 741 are deeply troubling. They could be used to silence political dissent, punish those who criticize government officials, or suppress speech that challenges the status quo. In short, it is a direct attack on the First Amendment and the principles of free speech that are so essential to a healthy society.

    We must be willing to engage in open dialogue with those who hold different views, and to stand up for our rights even when it is uncomfortable or unpopular to do so.

    This means supporting organizations and individuals who are working to protect free speech, like Gab, and advocating for policies that promote openness and transparency in government. It also means being willing to speak out against efforts to silence dissent or suppress speech even when they come from our own political allies.

    The defense of our fundamental rights is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of basic human dignity and freedom and it requires all of us to stand up and be counted. We must remain vigilant in the face of attempts to suppress speech and dissent, and be willing to push back against these efforts wherever they arise. Only by doing so can we ensure that America remains free for generations to come.

  • Federal Agent Whistleblowers Issue Red Alert! U.S. Air Marshals Being Diverted From National Security Threats  & Tasked With Targeting Innocent Americans

    Federal Agent Whistleblowers Issue Red Alert! U.S. Air Marshals Being Diverted From National Security Threats & Tasked With Targeting Innocent Americans

    On Friday April 28, 2023, Sonya Hightower-LaBosco Executive Director of the Air Marshal National Council joined Investigative Journalist & Syndicated Talk Show Host Pete Santilli to discuss a very urgent national security matter brought forward by Federal Agent whistleblowers from the U.S. Air Marshals.

    U.S. Air Marshals are an elite group of law enforcement officers who provide a crucial service to the nation. They are heavily armed and trained to protect people onboard commercial flights from terrorist attacks and other criminal activity. Air Marshals are also trained to observe and detect suspicious activity and behaviors onboard flights, as well as to be able to respond quickly and effectively in the event of a security breach or other emergency. Air Marshals are also responsible for educating other crew members on relevant security protocols and procedures. While their work is often unseen, Air Marshals provide an invaluable service to the nation and ensure that travelers can feel safe and secure when they fly.

    After the January 6th rally in Washington, DC, U.S. Marshals discovered that the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) maintains a database of all airline passengers who have been designated as “domestic terrorists” if they traveled to DC on or around January 6th. Whistleblowers within the U.S. Air Marshals have expressed concerns that the TSA has not only arbitrarily miscategorized Americans as domestic terrorists simply for traveling to DC, but all designation profiles accuse everyone on the list of entering the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

    Documentary evidence provided exclusively to The Pete Santilli Show & The Big Mig Podcast indicate U.S. Air Marshals discovered the TSA’s database contained dozens of names of “on duty FAMS, Congressional members, and other armed LEOS”. The database “was shared with three different FBI units, the Domestic Terrorism Operations Section (DTOS), Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), and the National Joint Terrorism Task Force (NJTTF)” and if the list was injested by the FBI “… then every on duty FAM that flew during that time frame would then be attached to the FBI case. This could set off SMC coverage for FAMS flying in the future.” Special Mission Coverage (SMC) is the intelligence-driven, risk-based deployment of Federal Air Marshals (FAMs) on flights when individuals have been identified as posing a higher risk to security “In other words the agency may actually have FAMs watching other FAMs that are flying on duty.”

    During the interview, Lobasco said, “…the federal air marshals are disgusted with the details of what they’re being told to deploy on. They don’t feel right about surveilling children, surveilling military veterans who lost their legs in Afghanistan, surveilling grandmothers, grandfathers, unaccompanied minors. This was not the job that we were brought over to do after nine eleven. We have gotten so far off of our original mission. It’s almost unrecognizable now what we’re doing on a daily basis versus what we should be doing, looking for the real bad guys that are trying to take down aircraft and make those a weapon of mass destruction. We’re not doing that anymore.

    During the interview, Ms. Lobasco and Pete Santilli discussed the urgency of informing the public about these potential lapses in judgement by the security & intelligence apparatus which is structured to “get bad guys”. The obvious implication is that when Federal Air Marshal resources are diverted from getting the real bad guys to pursue innocent political opponents, a disaster is waiting to happen. Pete Santilli went so far to speculate that the lapse in judgment may potentially be deliberate & intentional, especially when considering recent revelations that the hijackers on 9/11 may have been CIA agents, and some of whom were allowed entry into the United States by Jedda Saudi Arabia’s then CIA Station Chief John Brennan. (See ABC news report: State Dept. Lapses Aided 9/11 Hijackers )

    Based on what we’ve learned about how domestic and foreign bad actors perpetrated 9-11, one must assume that these potential lapses in judgement may be a deliberate and intentional exploitation of our vulnerabilities.

    On Friday’s War Room Steve Bannon reported on the 700,000 to one million illegals gathering at the US border with Mexico and ready to storm into the United States.

    Steve Bannon: We had a Congressman, Andy Biggs, who sat here and said he just got off a conference call with certain executives in Big Counties on the border in Arizona, and they were telling him they had just had a briefing by Border Patrol who said along the Southern border of the United States, there’s 700,000 to a million illegal aliens prepared, when Title 42 comes off, they’re basically prepared, he said, to storm the gates. And the Border Patrol is not prepared for it. The Biden regime is not prepared for this. This Title 42 that comes off is going to be something. And of course, the mainstream media will not cover this.

    Ben Berqguam: I’m over here in Matamoros, Steve. I’m right on the Mexico side of the border. Anthony is on the other side in Brownsville. We were reporting from there yesterday. I’m actually in that camp we were in about a month ago and it has grown probably doubled or tripled what it was then. It had over 1000 then. It has more than that now. And what’s happening is, as they come in, they’re just going across. We have 2000 people a day crossing here… It’s just an absolute joke. And this is before Title 42 goes away. They are lining up, they are mobilizing, and it’s going to be a mass invasion when that goes away.

    The Biden regime is going to destroy this country beyond repair. The gates are open. And the media will not report on this.

    Newsmax’s Carl Higbie questions whether BlackRock played a role in Tucker Carlson’s Fox ouster

    In the days since

    Tucker Carlson

    and

    Fox News

    “parted ways,” there has been much speculation regarding what led the network to dump its most

    popular

    personality. On Wednesday, Newsmax’s Carl Higbie questioned whether investment firm

    BlackRock

    had any say in the matter.

    He argued that Carlson‘s takes over the years on issues such as environmental, social, and governance scores may have led the firm, which manages trillions of dollars, to pressure Fox to let him go.

    “Wanna get to the bottom of anything? Follow the money,” Higbie began. “The abrupt departure of Tucker Carlson has raised some questions, some that deserve to be looked at … There is a company called BlackRock. It’s the world’s largest investment firm, with about $8.5 trillion under management.”

    Higbie went on to quote a story from Forbes that suggested Carlson’s openly anti-ESG agenda “courted controversy by taking on … BlackRock, which has been a leading advocate for ESG investing.”

    The NewsMax host showed a number of clips in which his former Fox News counterpart slammed the concept of ESG, saying, “The poorer you get, the more suffering there is, the higher your ESG score, and that’s important because companies will not invest unless you have a high ESG score.”

    Higbie pointed out that in the months following Carlson’s attacks on ESG, a number of states pulled their pension investments from BlackRock, causing the investment firm to lose a substantial amount of money. Then in February 2023, BlackRock announced that it had acquired 15 percent in Fox Corporation stock, which according to Forbes was “enough to get a seat at the table.”

    Higbie also highlighted the fact that Carlson often went after big pharma and the arms industry, both of which BlackRock was heavily invested in.

    “There is no proof that BlackRock fired Tucker Carlson, and I am certainly not asserting that,” he concluded. “I just think it’s an interesting trail of money.”
