Capitol Police Officer Shauni Kerkhoff Identified as J6 Bomber Based on Forensic Match — Testified to Firing Pepper Balls at J6 Crowd, Then Months Later Took a Security Job at the CIA

On January 5, 2021, a suspect planted pipe bombs near the Washington, D.C., RNC and DNC headquarters the night before the January 6, 2021, protests.

The culprit was caught on video but never caught by the FBI – the greatest intelligence service in the world.

The US Capitol was shut down on January 6 after the feds found the bombs near the Republican and Democrat Party headquarters.

As previously reported — A mysterious suspect planted two pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC DC Headquarters that were safely detonated by a bomb squad on January 6.

As The Gateway Pundit reported at the time and several times since Jan. 6 – Federal authorities shut down the counting of electoral votes by the US Congress when news broke that the “bombs” were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters.

It was NOT the J6 protesters storming the building that shut down the counting. It was news of the pipe bombs!

This is significant now that we can confirm that the bombs were planted by a female US Capitol Police Officer who later went to work security at the CIA headquarters.

Shauni Kerkoff went to work for the CIA headquarters after the January 6 riots. She later testified against J6 defendant Guy Reffitt, who was set up by the FBI, who wired his son in his own home.

Shauni reportedly scrubbed her social media accounts after joining the FBI.

Antifa Firebombs German AfD Lawmaker’s Car As Left-Wing Terrorism Across West Triggers Alarm-Bells

Left-wing political violence is metastasizing across the Western world like stage-four cancer.

From the political assassination of Charlie Kirk by a furry-loving leftist, to the transgender extremist who massacred Christians in a Minneapolis church, to Antifa terror cells attacking ICE facilities and torching the vehicles of their political opponents in Europe, the West must come to its senses. These are not isolated events, but likely interconnected violent acts. Massive funding networks fuel some of these far-left pressure campaigns, as we’ve shown. EU-based billionaires have funneled more than $2 billion into U.S. nonprofits to fund part of the protest-industrial complex against President Trump to derail the ‘America First’ agenda. 

All of this is unfolding as more Westerners reject “wokeism” and the Marxist power grip begins to crack under the Trump 2.0 era. The West must confront a very dark and grim truth: the modern far-left has normalized political assassination culture, targeting opponents with violence, arson, and even acts of sabotage, such as the 2024 power grid attack in Berlin that shut down Elon Musk’s factory.

Even the deep-state media outlet The Atlantic couldn’t ignore the alarming rise of what it called “left-wing terrorism.”

Context matters. People must understand that this surge in left-wing violence on both sides of the Atlantic is not random or isolated – it’s possibly coordinated. Their objective is clear: to crush the rise of anti-globalist, anti-Marxist movements and, above all, to stop “Trump-like” populist uprisings gaining momentum across the West at any cost. To accomplish this, the left has weaponized its militant street arm – Antifa – composed of purple-haired, gender-confused warriors who serve as expendable enforcers to carry out political objectives through chaos and intimidation.

This brings us to the latest Antifa attack on the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, in which the party’s parliamentary secretary, Bernd Baumann, saw his car firebombed outside his home, an act local media outlets suspect was carried out by an Antifa terror cell.

German news outlet DPA International reported that “left-wing platform Indymedia on Monday suggests the car was set on fire by members of the anti-fascist Antifa movement early on Monday morning.”

The story about the woman who found the first ‘J-6 DC pipe bomb’ is blowing apart…

The story about the woman who supposedly stumbled upon the first J6 DC pipe bomb is starting to collapse under its own weight. Like so much of January 6… from the “Fedsurrection” crawling with undercover agents to the conveniently placed “explosives” that never went off… this political soap opera, or “psyop,” if you will, raises far more questions than answers.

For those who’ve read our work, you already know we’ve spent years digging into the pipe bomb story and the government’s J6 narrative. What we uncovered is a laundry list of inconsistencies that any honest investigator would call “highly suspicious” at best. Revolver, along with other truth-seekers, was among the first to blow the lid off the pipe bomb hoax. We have been keeping up with the story and reporting on the latest twists and turns.

Revolver:

We have yet another humdinger of an update on this absurd pipe bomb hoax linked to J6. As Revolver readers know, years ago our investigative work helped blow the feds’ “official story” to bits and opened the door for others to dig deeper into this fanciful tale of some unknown “pipe bomber” lurking around DC in a hoodie. To this day, that person has mysteriously remained anonymous, even though you can see him (or her) prancing around on camera.

For crying out loud, the feds can pinpoint the nose hairs of a MAGA grandma from two states away, but they can’t find this so-called dangerous bomber? Please. This story has always been riddled with gaping holes. Those holes keep getting bigger, and at this point, they’re so big, you could drive a semi through them.

The latest twist may be the most insane yet. But before we get there, let’s remember what we recently shared with you… a receipt Julie Kelly uncovered that raised yet another red flag about the “official” story, this time involving the timing of when the so-called bombs were planted. It’s starting to look like the FBI has been lying even more than we thought.

[…]

…the pipe bombs might have been a “training exercise”? If that’s true, then why are there “wanted posters” for a phantom bomber?

You can read the entire piece here:

But now, new footage and testimony are making things even murkier. The woman at the center of the story, the one who supposedly discovered the first pipe bomb, has a timeline and a story that just don’t match the evidence.

HOLY SMOKES! The Pipe Bomb HOAX Story Implodes — Rep. Loudermilk Blows the Lid Off the Biden J6 Narrative!

In an exclusive new interview, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) — Chairman of the New January 6 Select Subcommittee — tells GP reporter Cara Castronuova that key evidence surrounding the January 6 pipe bomber was “mysteriously disappeared” or “corrupted,” raising questions about what Biden’s FBI and Pelosi’s Select Committee were hiding from the American people.

“The story that we were fed all this time doesn’t hold a lot of water,” Loudermilk said. “None of it makes logical sense.”

**CROWD SOURCING ALL CITIZEN JOURNALISTS AND GP SLEUTHS! Please listen to the full interview and after hearing the evidence so far let us know in the comments or by contacting Cara Castronuova (below) your theory/instincts on the “Pipe Bomb Mystery”!

The “Pipe Bomb Mystery” That Never Added Up

Rep. Loudermilk revealed that the FBI’s own lab report confirmed there were explosives in the devices found near the RNC and DNC — but the story of when and how those devices were planted keeps changing.

According to Loudermilk, Secret Service bomb-sniffing dogs swept the DNC grounds the morning of January 6 — the day after the FBI claims a bomb was planted — and the dogs did not detect any device.

Zohran Mamdani Campaigns with Imam Tied to 1993 World Trade Center Bombing

One day after the New York City mayoral debate, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani openly campaigned at a mosque alongside Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Instead of distancing himself, Mamdani proudly highlighted the event.

He even posted about it publicly, as if daring New Yorkers to overlook the danger.

For years, warnings about Mamdani’s ties to Wahhaj have circulated. Wahhaj was named by federal prosecutors as a co-conspirator in the terror plot that killed six and injured more than a thousand.

Despite this, he continues to serve as an imam in New York and has donated to Mamdani’s campaign.

He remains an influential figure in the same activist networks that have normalized radicalism under the banner of “progress.”

The connections don’t stop there. Linda Sarsour, the anti-Israel activist who has publicly defended Hamas sympathizers, calls Wahhaj her mentor.

His son, Siraj Wahhaj Jr., operated a jihadi compound in New Mexico where children were indoctrinated and trained to commit terrorist attacks.

Federal authorities reported that the group stockpiled weapons, plotted mass murder, and buried the remains of children on the site.

Members of the compound received life sentences.

These are the people surrounding Mamdani. These are the networks trying to seize political power in New York City.

Instead of distancing himself, Mamdani embraces them.

Italy’s anti-Mafia police investigate after a journalist’s car explodes

A car belonging to one of Italy’s leading investigative journalists exploded outside his home overnight, prompting an investigation by Italy’s anti-Mafia authorities and condemnation Friday from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and others. No one was injured.

The explosion late Thursday targeting Sigfrido Ranucci, lead anchor of state-run RAI3’s Report investigative series, occurred on the eighth anniversary of the car bomb slaying of Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

The investigative program said the explosion was so powerful that it could have killed anyone passing by. Ranucci had just returned home at the time and his daughter had walked by a half-hour before, Report said in a statement. The blast destroyed the car, damaged another family car next to it, as well as the front gate of Ranucci’s home in Pomezia, south of Rome.

Police, firefighters and forensic crews reported to the scene and magistrates from the Rome district of the anti-Mafia police were investigating, Report said. Video shot by Ranucci, who has been under police protection since 2021 because of his hard-hitting investigations, showed the mangled remains of the cars and gate.

Meloni expressed her solidarity with Ranucci and condemned what she called “the serious act of intimidation he has suffered.”

“Freedom and independence of information are essential values of our democracies, which we will continue to defend,” she said in a statement.

In comments to journalists outside the offices of RAI, Ranucci said the explosion was an “escalation” of what he said were two years of threats that he believed were related to Report’s investigations into the links between the Cosa Nostra, ‘ndrangheta and far-right crime groups and notable past Mafia hits.

Asked if the explosion would have a chilling effect on Report’s work, he said his colleagues were used to working under difficult conditions.

Deranged Leftist Arrested with 200 Explosives, Molotov Cocktails, and Manifesto in Tent Outside Annual Red Mass for Supreme Court

Another deranged leftist was arrested Sunday outside of St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington, D.C., before a mass for the Supreme Court.

Several SCOTUS Justices were likely to attend the special mass.

Leftist Louis Geri was positioned outside the cathedral in a tent filled with 200 explosives, containers filled with chemicals, and a manifesto.

Geri warned the police to move so they would not be hurt:

Via Chillinois: LOUIS GERI told police, “You might want to stay back and call the federales, I have explosives,” according to an affidavit.

A member of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Bomb Squad then told him he needed to move because of a special event.
He replied, “I’m aware of that (referring to the Red Mass),” police wrote, and threatened to throw a bomb into the street as a demonstration, adding, “I have a hundred plus of them.”

Police said they would remove him against his will, and he replied, “Several of your people are gonna die from one of these.”

With a lighter in one hand, he handed them nine pieces of paper that amounted to a manifesto entitled, “Written Negotiations for the Avoidance of Destruction of Property via Detonation of Explosives.”

The threat against the Red Mass caused the justices to skip the annual event.

DC detectives found several canisters inside Geri’s tent, including containers with nitro methane. The detectives discovered what they described as grenades and explosives.

Louis Geri used a rubber band to secure a fuse on the explosives.

The deranged leftist also had modified bottle rockets with aluminum foil heads treated in Thermite solution.

Ex-FBI explosives expert, famed whistleblower says bureau’s J6 pipe bombs lab analysis ‘a mess’

Aformer FBI scientist, explosives expert and respected whistleblower—who exposed forensic fraud at the bureau’s national laboratory—says the Jan. 6 pipe bombs don’t look like they were made to explode and the FBI’s original lab analysis needs to be probed by Director Kash Patel and Congress. 

“Frankly, this report is a mess,” Fred Whitehurst, the first successful FBI whistleblower in history, told the John Solomon Reports podcast.

Whitehurst’s landmark whistleblowing in the 1990s exposed forensic fraud at the FBI crime laboratory, which eventually subjected it to outside oversight for the first time. During his service at the FBI, he was regarded by the bureau as the foremost expert on explosives. He led the probe into the 1993 World Trade Center bombing during which he uncovered evidence that the FBI was manipulating forensic evidence. 

Just the News reported on Monday that the January 6 pipe bomb analysis conducted by the FBI’s explosives laboratory found the devices were filled with chemical building blocks of black powder, each was equipped with a 60-minute kitchen timer, and each had destructive potential. However, neither device exploded, and they were discovered about 16 hours after the FBI claimed they were planted outside both the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters. 

A look at the bombs’ explosive mixtures, fusing

But, Whitehurst says, the FBI analysis obscures what he believes is the true impression of the FBI’s explosives analysis, that neither bomb was “going to blow up.” 

“The materials—potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal—if they’re not in the right proportions, and I mean the right proportions, and I don’t see where anybody has told me that they are in the right proportion, they’re not going to blow up,” Whitehurst said. “You might as well have had a crock of flour in that pipe.”

“And so to say that it was … a destructive device, without knowing that. If they had known that, they would have … just definitely said it,” he added.

Whitehurst also raised questions about the pipe bombs’ reported “fusing system,” which utilized bunches of steel wool in each device. The explosives expert said that using that amount of material would likely render the devices inoperable. 

“The reason you use steel wool, at least one or two little strands of it, is because the circuit going through the larger wires doesn’t really heat them. But, when you’ve got that same voltage across a small wire, you got the same current you’re putting through it, it heats it up, and it catches, you know, catches on fire—it gets it closed,” Whitehurst said. 

“But, what I’m seeing in the pictures is, is this wad of steel wool,” he continued. “There’s enough steel wool there… all it’s going to do at the most is warm that steel wool. It’s not, you know, from my doing that… it’s not going to glow at all. It’s just going to get a little bit warm.” 

“So the device that they put there, the pictures they show me, that’s not going to be a fuse,” he concluded.  

Both devices never exploded and were discovered about 16 hours after the FBI claimed they were planted outside both major party headquarters. 

The document package turned over by Patel to the House Judiciary Committee and its special Jan. 6 investigative subcommittee also raised significant new questions about the FBI’s original timeline, Just the News reported on Monday.

Training exercise or police diversion? Evidence leads Congress to explore new J6 pipe bomb theories

Tevidence obtained by Congress in its quest to unravel the mysteries of Jan. 6 has led the panel leading the investigation to consider that the pipe bombs planted at both the Republican and Democratic National Committees may have been part of an undisclosed training exercise, Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., told Just the News. 

Additionally, new documents raise questions about how valuable cellular phone location data from the days leading up to Jan. 6 — key data that investigators needed for their work — was purged from an AT&T and government system despite a preservation order from the FBI.  

Chairman Loudermilk says the evidence from the FBI’s pipe bomb analysis, AT&T’s response to the data request, and a stunning coincidence are leading his panel to consider alternative theories about one of the enduring mysteries of that day. 

The details do not add up

Just the News reported on Monday that the pipe bomb analysis conducted by an FBI laboratory found the devices were filled with chemical building blocks of black powder, each was equipped with a 60-minute kitchen timer, and each had destructive potential. However, neither device exploded and they were discovered about 16 hours after the FBI claimed they were planted outside both major party headquarters.

To Loudermilk, these details do not add up.   

“I’m not buying the story anymore that they were there on the fifth,” Loudermilk told the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show on Monday.  

“I believe that they were put out on the sixth at this point. This is the theory that we’re going on, especially since the lady that found them said there were still 20 minutes left on the timer when they were placed there,” said Loudermilk.  

“The other thing is, were there enough…was there enough explosives in the devices to actually cause a massive explosion? That’s one of the things we’re looking at in these reports, which kind of leads us to believe maybe there wasn’t, but there definitely were explosives,” he added.

FBI Releases January 6 Pipe Bomb Lab Report; Witness Statement on Kitchen Timer Attached to RNC Bomb Blows Up FBI’s Narrative

The FBI’s lab report on the so-called January 6 pipe bombs was released this weekend.

According to the pipe bomb lab report obtained by Just The News, the bombs had ‘destructive potential’ but never detonated.

Additionally, the witness who discovered the RNC pipe bomb said the kitchen timer attached to it only had 20 minutes left. This blows up the timeline narrative and suggests the RNC bomb was planted shortly before it was discovered.

The kitchen timers attached to both bombs only had a 60-minute timer.

“I am the person that discovered and alerted the guards to the pipe bomb found next to the RNC on January 6. I wanted to identify myself in case there are additional details I can provide that might be useful to the investigation,” the witness wrote to the FBI, according to Just The News.

“I did not see nor do I recognize the person of interest socialized in the media. However, I can confirm that the device must have been placed between 12pm-12:40pm EST, because it was not present when I went down to the area to start laundry (~12pm), but it was present when I returned to continue laundry (~12:40pm),” she told the FBI.

Just The News reported:

The unsolved case of two pipe bombs planted at the major political parties’ headquarters in Washington D.C. before the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot is facing new mystery after FBI Director Kash Patel transmitted to Congress the lab analysis and interviews with a key witness who is challenging the official timeline of events.

The documents obtained by Just the News show that both bombs — one planted at the Democratic National Committee and the other at the Republican National Committee — were filled with chemical building blocks of black powder, each was equipped with a 60-minute kitchen timer, and each had destructive potential.

But most notably, the FBI laboratory report never uses the word “viable” to describe either bomb. Both devices never exploded and were discovered about 16 hours after the FBI claimed they were planted outside both major party headquarters.

“When properly assembled and initiated, an IED of this sort can cause property damage, bodily injury, or death,” the lab report stated. The report offered no clear explanation why the bombs — which it called “Improvised Explosive Devices” — did not detonate.

The FBI in January released *new* footage of the January 6 pipe bomber after Rep. Loudermilk released a report revealing the bureau engaged in a massive coverup operation.
