Trump Stuns Press In Defending MbS Over Khashoggi Murder, As Saudis Float $1 Trillion Investment

Things were a bit rough during a Q&A with the White House press pool as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) was at the White House Tuesday. One ABC reporter asked MbS point blank what he’s for many years tried to avoid being asked – about the murder of  journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump was none too happy about the question, and said it sought to ’embarrass’ a guest of the White House. 

“Who are you with? ABC? One of the worst in the business,” Trump had initially reacted, also after the journalist said that 9/11 families are not happy at MbS’ red carpet treatment in Washington. Despite US intelligence previously pointing to bin Salman’s role in overseeing the 2018 murder at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Trump brushed it off. The US president also went so far as to say of the victim, “You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial.” And then he claimed MbS knew nothing about it. “A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about, whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen,” Trump also said in reference to Khashoggi.

But for this ‘positive PR’ and with the sitting US president running defense on behalf of the crown prince – which apparently has even resulted in Trump asking for ABC’s FCC license and right to broadcast to be revoked – bin Salman ‘must pay’. 

Indeed, MbS came bearing gifts. He committed the kingdom to increasing his planned investment into the U.S. economy to nearly $1 trillion. After this, the NY Times commented, “The new number the prince floated today, $1 trillion, is roughly the size of Saudi Arabia’s entire annual economic output.” 

Town Hall has broken this down as follows:

  • $750M+ already flowing into American manufacturing
  • $300M new gas-turbine investment in Greenville, SC
  • Tripling production at the SC plant
  • 500+ pieces NEW equipment installed
  • 1,800 real American manufacturing jobs created
  • Building skilled workforce pipeline with local communities
  • Supporting BOTH U.S. energy needs & Saudi demand
  • “REAL JOBS in the manufacturing space.”

“You’ve agreed to invest $600 billion into the United States and because he’s my friend, he might make it a trillion, but I’m going to have to work on him. But it’s 600. We can count on 600 billion. But, that number could go up a little bit higher,” Trump said Tuesday while speaking to MbS.

“That means investments in plants, in companies, money on Wall Street. And what it really means for everybody, what really counts is jobs. A lot of jobs. We have a lot of jobs,” Trump added.

Quantum teleportation between photons from two distant light sources achieved

Everyday life on the internet is insecure. Hackers can break into bank accounts or steal digital identities. Driven by AI, attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Quantum cryptography promises more effective protection. It makes communication secure against eavesdropping by relying on the laws of quantum physics. However, the path toward a quantum internet is still fraught with technical hurdles.

Researchers at the Institute of Semiconductor Optics and Functional Interfaces (IHFG) at the University of Stuttgart have now made a decisive breakthrough in one of the most technically challenging components, the quantum repeater. They report their results in Nature Communications.

Nanometer-sized semiconductor islands for information transfer

“For the first time worldwide, we have succeeded in transferring quantum information among photons originating from two different quantum dots,” says Prof. Peter Michler, head of the IHFG and deputy spokesperson for the Quantenrepeater.Net (QR.N) research project.

What is the background? Whether WhatsApp or video stream, every digital message consists of zeros and ones. Similarly, this also applies to quantum communication, in which individual light particles serve as carriers of information.

Zero or one is then encoded in two different directions of polarization of the photons (i.e., their orientation in the horizontal and vertical directions or in a superposition of both states). Because photons follow the laws of quantum mechanics, their polarization cannot always be completely read out without leaving traces. Any attempt to intercept the transmission would inevitably be detected.

Making the quantum internet ready for the fiber-optic infrastructure

Another challenge: An affordable quantum internet would use optical fibers—just like today’s internet. However, light has only a limited range. Conventional light signals, therefore, need to be renewed approximately every 50 kilometers using an optical amplifier.

Because quantum information cannot simply be amplified or copied and forwarded, this does not work in the quantum internet. However, quantum physics allows information to be transferred from one photon to another as long as the information stays unknown. This process is referred to as quantum teleportation.

Covering Up the Behavioral Health Links to Mass Murders and Assassinations

When violent bloodshed occurs – a school shooting, an assassination, a sudden act of mass violence— behavioral health usually is behind it.

With so many of the nation’s most disturbing violent cases, too often the essential evidence remains sealed, unavailable for public review, like the diary belonging to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, Adam Lanza’s mother, and the reported manifesto of Nashville’s Covenant School shooter, Audrey Hale, (withheld and portions later leaked), plus toxicology reports, DNA and fingerprints and ballistic data necessary as physical evidence to identity the killer and motive.  This is done through meticulous forensic investigation, including how access to the crime scene was gained and whether accomplices were involved; the scientific analysis of toxicology reports, DNA, fingerprints, and ballistic evidence is absolutely essential, providing the objective, irrefutable proof necessary to identify the shooter and uncover the truth behind these senseless, horrific attacks.

Behavioral health “experts” frequently appear linked to suspects, but the exact affiliations and workplace connections rarely are disclosed. The parents of the accused Trump shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, from Butler, PA, are licensed by the state as “experts” in mental health, but whether the family has connections to Governor Shapiro’s agencies throughout the state or research grants with universities remains unknown.

Amber Robinson, for example, the mother of Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin, is employed by Intermountain Behavioral Health in Utah, which received a $750,000 grant under Utah Governor Cox. What other connections does the Robinson family have with the State of Utah and specifically Governor Cox administration?

Moreover, the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) utilizes psychiatric profiles to help solve crimes, but withholds raw data, physical evidence, and sometimes fails to release its own investigative reports, as is the case of the Butler PA attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump in 2023.

The BAU, as the psychiatric industry arm within the FBI, focuses on profiling the psychological mindset and motives behind these high-profile crimes. Yet, despite this focus, the BAU withholds then names of any behavioral health “experts” or their “treatments” that precede the crime and rarely solves these national mass killings.  The data is selectively and strategically dripped out to the public.

The federal law enforcement agency’s repeated failures raise profound questions about possible inside jobs or the possibility of cover-ups, protecting systemic issues in behavioral health and law enforcement.

These systemic flaws within the behavioral health industry and, especially, within law enforcement, allow well-coordinated access to vulnerable children, too often serviced by state mental health vendors that gain trust over many years—a network that may shield threats, inhibit transparency, and prioritize institutional preservation over safety.

The behavioral health system controls vulnerable youth, often medicated under opaque contracts with expensive but irresponsible mental health providers certainly capable of weaponizing developing minds. Montana’s outsourcing of child behavioral health contracts, for example, includes financial ties to China, revealing outside intervention in the nation’s mental health system.

The youth caught up in the mental health system, often are forced into state care and become disposable. Nikolas Cruz, The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter in Parkland FL., had been prescribed cocktails of psychiatric mind-altering drugs most of his young life. Henderson Behavioral Health, a Florida contractor exposed during the sentencing hearing was the behavioral health vendor paid to care for Cruz through the state behavioral health system. Yet the medical files, including mental health files, were sealed and, not surprisingly, Henderson Behavioral Health was never held responsible for Cruz’s  murderous actions, despite having been Cruz’s pill pusher for years.

The diary of Audrey Hale was obtained by Nashville Police on the day of the crime, March 27, 2023. Despite immediate possession, Hale’s “manifesto” remained sealed for more than two years. Only in May 2025, after expensive and lengthy legal battles, did the FBI disclose over 100 pages of shooter Hale’s manifesto. Withholding this data limited public understanding and fueled controversy about transparency and systemic concealment.

Despite early claims that Audrey Hale had not been prescribed psychiatric drugs, a Nashville police search warrant revealed prescriptions for Buspirone, Lexapro, Hydroxyzine, and others from Vanderbilt University Hospital. Blood tests conducted at autopsy did not test for therapeutic levels, leaving Hale’s medication status unclear, and fueling debate over the role of psychiatry and transgender care in the attack.  AbleChild helped secure in Tennessee a landmark law to test for therapeutic levels of psychotropic drugs in mass shooters.

In the case of Charlie Kirk’s death, limited information reveals that Lance Twiggs, the alleged romantic interest of alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, underwent psychiatric experimentation akin to Utah’s Intermountain Trans care program—viewed as Utah’s Vanderbilt equivalent, where Audrey Hale received transgender psychiatric care.

Each incident repeats the cycle: public shock, managed narratives, and a wall of silence as records stay sealed. Until full disclosure, America’s violent crimes remain shrouded in secrecy.

“I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!” – President Trump Signs Epstein Files Transparency Act, Says The Truth About Epstein’s Democrat Affiliates “Will Soon be Revealed”

President Trump has signed the Epstein Files Transparency act into law to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House overwhelmingly voted for the bill, with only one Republican defector, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), voting against the bill, citing privacy concerns for victims of Epstein.

The Senate later approved the bill by unanimous consent.

The President called on Congress to pass the bill on  Tuesday, stating, “We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown.’”

President Trump released a statement on Wednesday, slamming the Democrats and highlighting Jeffrey Epstein’s support for Democrats and his affiliation with prominent Democrats like Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Summers.

Fox reports, “Attorney General Pam Bondi told reporters Wednesday that she would comply with the law after it was signed, which directs the Justice Department to release the files online in a searchable format within 30 days.”

“Do not forget — The Biden Administration did not turn over a SINGLE file or page related to Democrat Epstein, nor did they ever even speak about him,” Trump said.

“For years our Great Nation has had to endure RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, UKRAINE, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #1, IMPEACHMENT HOAX #2, and many other Democrat created Witch Hunts and Scams, all of which have been so terrible and divisive for our Country, and have been done to confuse, deflect, and distract from the GREAT JOB that Republicans, and the Trump Administration, are doing,” the President continued. “This latest Hoax will backfire on the Democrats just as all of the rest have! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!“

South Florida Congresswoman Charged with Stealing $5 Million in FEMA Funds and Making Illegal Campaign Contributions

A federal grand jury in Miami has returned an indictment charging Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and several co-defendants with stealing federal disaster funds, laundering the proceeds, and using the money to support her 2021 congressional campaign.

According to the indictment, Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, and her brother Edwin Cherfilus, 51, both of Miramar, worked through their family health-care company on a FEMA-funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract in 2021. In July 2021, the company received an overpayment of $5 million in FEMA funds.

The indictment alleges that the defendants conspired to steal that $5 million and routed it through multiple accounts to disguise its source. Prosecutors allege that a substantial portion of the misappropriated funds was used as candidate contributions to Cherfilus-McCormick’s 2021 congressional campaign and for the personal benefit of the defendants.

The indictment further alleges that Cherfilus-McCormick and Nadege Leblanc, 46, of Miramar, arranged additional contributions using straw donors, funneling other monies from the FEMA-funded Covid-19 contract to friends and relatives who then donated to the campaign as if using their own money.

The indictment also charges Cherfilus-McCormick and her 2021 tax preparer David K. Spencer, 41, of Davie, with conspiring to file a false federal tax return. According to the indictment, they falsely claimed political spending and other personal expenses as business deductions and inflated charitable contributions in order to reduce her tax obligations.

“Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain. We will follow the facts in this case and deliver justice.”

U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida stated, “Today’s indictment shows no one is above the law. This indictment reflects our Office’s commitment to follow the facts, apply the law, and protect the American taxpayer. Public money belongs to the American people. When FEMA funds are diverted for personal or political gain, it erodes trust and harms us all. We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to ensure that American taxpayer dollars are used as intended and that the public’s trust is safeguarded.”

If convicted, Cherfilus-McCormick faces up to 53 years in prison. Edwin Cherfilus faces up to 35 years, Leblanc up to 10 years, and Spencer up to 33 years.
U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones; Special Agent in Charge Brett D. Skiles of the FBI, Miami Field Office; and Special Agent in Charge Ronald A. Loecker of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), Florida Field Office, made the announcement.

FBI Miami and the IRS-CI Florida Field Office are investigating the case.

‘More Horrific Than Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo’: The Unsalvageable Depravity of Israel’s Prisons for Palestinians

On June 19, 2024, Khaled Mahajneh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, became the first lawyer to visit a notorious detention facility for Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, located inside the Sde Teiman military base in the Negev Desert, one of several detention facilities established after October 7, 2023 to hold Palestinians seized in Gaza.

Speaking to +972 Magazine a week after his visit, Mahanjeh drew a pertinent comparison with the treatment of Muslim prisoners in the US’s post-9/11 “war on terror”, but concluded that Israel’s behavior was even worse.

“The situation there is more horrific than anything we’ve heard about Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo”, he said, adding, “I have been visiting political and security detainees and prisoners in Israeli jails for years, including since October 7. I know that the conditions of detention have become much harsher, and that the prisoners are abused on a daily basis. But Sde Teiman was unlike anything I’ve seen or heard before.”

Mahajneh “was initially approached by Al Araby TV, which was seeking information about Muhammad Arab”, also identified as Mohammed Saber Arab, “a reporter for the network who was arrested in March while covering the Israeli siege of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.”

Plaskett Delivers Jaw-Dropping Explanation of Why She Texted Jeffrey Epstein During Congressional Hearing

Democrat Del. Stacey Plaskett (VI-At Large) continued her whirlwind public tour in which she’s tried to convince anyone who will listen that texting sex predator Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing is totally normal.

It’s been a sight to see. Plaskett, who the Washington Post revealed was texting Epstein in real-time, steering her questioning of an anti-Trump witness at his direction, has offered some unique defenses.

Last night, some of the top minds in the Democrat party (which is akin to having a favorite STD) put their heads together and came up with the little-known “constituency defense.”

That is, as RedState’s Katie Jerkovich reported, Plaskett was involved in nothing nefarious. She was simply texting an average, everyday constituent.

“I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at the time was my constituent,” Plaskett blathered about on the House floor. “Who…was not public knowledge at that time, that he was under federal investigation, and who was sharing information with me.”

GOP staffer found with Trump sex slur written on stomach and hands zip tied… before she’s accused of elaborate hoax

A GOP Congressman staffer was discovered crying and bound by zip ties inside a New Jersey nature reserve with the words ‘Trump wh—‘ written on her stomach and cuts across her face, neck, chest and shoulders. 

A frantic 911 call came in on the night of July 23 reporting that three men had attacked Natalie Greene, one allegedly brandishing a firearm and threatening to shoot her while mentioning her boss’s name. 

She said the attack took place after she received threats while working at the congressional office for New Jersey Republican Representative Jeff Van Drew.

But after the FBI questioned her, Greene’s elaborate story began to unravel, resulting in the young staffer being charged with making false statements after she was accused of faking the attack on herself. 

She had been found in tears with distinct-looking laceration marks all over her body, bound by her hands, feet and even around her neck with black zip ties. 

Greene told an FBI agent that two men grabbed her, pulled up her shirt and restrained her on the ground before tying her up. 

She claimed that one of the men struck her on the head before cutting into her body and ‘scraping’ her, with the pain so intense she began to scream.

The staffer added that one of her ‘attackers’ claimed he had a gun and threatened to shoot her if she moved, though Greene said she never saw the weapon and only felt something push against her stomach. 

That same night, however, police found extra, similar-looking black zip ties in Greene’s Maserati. 

Federal investigators later discovered that Green’s co-conspirator had googled ‘zip ties near me’ on a cell phone days prior. 

After seizing Greene’s cell phone, investigators then found a Reddit profile that followed pages that include ‘bodymods’ and ‘scarification.’

Elsewhere on her phone was a location map that took her from a Pennsylvania tattoo parlor/body modification artist and eventually to the nature preserve where she was found by police.

She also went to her co-conspirators home in Ventnor, a Dunkin Donuts in Atlantic City.

In the same town where Greene’s ally lived, they found a Dollar General Store that sold the same exact zip ties that had been used on her and found in her car.   

The markings, including the one calling her a slur and another saying ‘Van Drew racist,’ were found to be performed by the artist, who said Greene paid $500 in cash.

Greene, who had spent years as a constituent advocate director for Van Drew, took photos of the exact scars she wanted the artist to execute, complete with patterns for scars and cuts all over her face, neck, upper chest and shoulder.

Google Censored Vaccine Info Long Before COVID — Could It Have Anything to Do With Parent Company Alphabet’s Deep Pharma Ties?

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Big Tech companies colluded with the government to silence dissent and criticisms of the lockdowns and a coercive mass vaccination campaign by censoring truthful information that did not align with the political agenda.

The Biden administration’s role in the censorship regime was the subject of a May 2024 congressional report titled “The Censorship-Industrial Complex.”

Three months after that report was released, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter to Congress that Facebook had censored factual information under pressure from the White House.

In September, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, responded to a congressional subpoena with a letter similarly disclosing how the Biden administration had pressured YouTube, owned by Google, to remove videos that didn’t even violate its content policies.

Alphabet called the practice “unacceptable and wrong” while insisting that it withstood the pressure and enforced only its own policies against “misinformation.”

That defense, however, sidesteps the fact that those content guidelines were created in collusion with the same “health authorities” advancing the authoritarian governance — like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO).

The result was that true information was censored while government-sanctioned disinformation was allowed to proliferate unchallenged.

As a United Nations official admitted at a September 2022 World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting, Google was helping government authorities to “own the science” in its internet search results.

In its letter to Congress, Alphabet noted that YouTube’s content policies had since evolved. Tacitly admitting how creators had been silenced for telling the truth, Alphabet promised to restore YouTube channels suspended for content no longer deemed misinformative.

So, Alphabet acknowledged the censorship but tried to absolve itself by blaming the White House and public health authorities.

The truth is that Google’s censorship of health-related content, including inconvenient facts about vaccines, predated COVID-19 and continues to this day. Could that be because Alphabet has its own deep financial ties to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries?

Alphabet’s ties to Big Pharma exist through numerous of its subsidiaries, including Calico, DeepMind, Isomorphic Labs and Verily Life Sciences. In this article, we will focus on the latter of Google’s sister companies.

New U.N. Treaty Decriminalizes AI Child Sexual Abuse Images

Anew United Nations treaty against cybercrime expressly allows for child sexting and the production and dissemination of virtual child pornography. The new treaty will normalize pedophilia and turbocharge pedophilic sexual content online via artificial intelligence and sexbots.

Reports vary on the exact number of initial signatories on Oct. 25 — the U.N. reports 65 signatories, including the European Union, China, and Russia. It will enter into force after 40 countries ratify it.

The treaty has been criticized widely because it is seen as undermining privacy and human rights by requiring countries to cooperate with dictatorial regimes. But the bigger problem is that the new treaty expressly allows virtual child pornography and child sexting, which until now were deemed criminal child pornography under the Optional Protocol of the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution, and child pornography (“Optional Protocol”), a treaty developed, funded, and backed by the U.S. government for three decades. The way the new treaty undermines the Optional Protocol is quite disingenuous.

The new treaty expressly establishes that countries who ratify the treaty “may” decriminalize some materials until now considered illegal child pornography. According to article 14.2 of the new treaty, countries may opt to decriminalize the production, distribution, and possession of sexualized visual, written, or audio content depicting children, so long as they do not represent an “existing person” or do not “visually depict child sexual abuse or child sexual exploitation.” Articles 14.4 and 15.4 also give states the option to decriminalize sexting between children under all circumstances as well as sexting by a child to an adult when the child is above the age of consent and the sexting is done privately. In such cases, the treaty only requires prosecution where images are shared “non-consensually.”
