FBI stopped plot to massacre crowd at White House UFC event, Kash Patel says

The FBI foiled an alleged plot to massacre Sunday’s UFC White House event attendees and arrested several suspects, according to the bureau’s director, Kash Patel.

“On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C.,” Patel shared Tuesday on X. 

According to officials cited by Fox News, the would-be perpetrators planned to set off explosive drones on the South Lawn, forcing attendees to flee the event. The alleged conspirators then planned to gun them down by sniper fire as they were funneled out of the White House grounds.

A total of 23 people were involved in the plot, according to court and FBI documents. They were allegedly upset about “government corruption, the handling of the [Jeffrey] Epstein files, data centers taking up all the water in communities, and other government actions,” according to the affidavit.

In a private Signal chat, the suspects considered targeting Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Sen. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.), Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) as well as West Virginia GOP Reps. Carol Miller and Riley Moore.

One proposed Marsha Blackburn as a potential target because she had “taken money from the Israel pro Israel lobby and supports them,” despite the fact that a large majority of congressmen have received money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

The mother of suspect Tycen Proper, 19, who was arrested on June 10, tipped off local police about her son’s “recent conduct, including firearms purchases and communicating with certain individuals online,” according to a federal affidavit.

She said in a phone interview with an FBI officer that the conspirators “claimed to be ex-military and Christian based.” The group allegedly wanted to “jumpstart” a revolution by killing “high-value targets” including “billionaires” and “capitalist elites.”

Proper admitted to helping to plan the attack during a June 11 FBI interview and said that the conspirators got in touch around March 2026 through a TikTok group called “Vanguard of the Old.”

2 NIH researchers charged with smuggling deactivated Mpox samples into U.S., lying to CBP

Two National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers have been criminally charged with conspiracy to smuggle biological materials into the United States and making false statements to federal law enforcement.

A federal criminal complaint unsealed in Detroit reveals that Vincent Munster, the chief of the virus ecology section at NIH’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, and his colleague, Claude Kwe, were intercepted by authorities at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

The scientists were stopped by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers following a flight from Paris, which concluded a 9-day research trip to the Republic of Congo — a region heavily impacted by an mpox outbreak that has been linked to over 2,000 deaths.

Mpox, formerly “monkeypox,” is an infectious viral disease causing flu-like symptoms and a painful rash. It spreads primarily through close, direct contact with an infected person’s lesions, bodily fluids or contaminated items like bedding.

According to court filings submitted by the FBI, Munster adamantly denied carrying any biological materials or samples when questioned by airport investigators. However, a physical inspection of their luggage uncovered more than 100 vials stored inside Styrofoam coolers.

Subsequent laboratory testing on a portion of the seized materials also confirmed that at least 17 of the first 20 vials tested positive for deactivated mpox virus. When pressed about the required federal permits and documentation for importing such materials, Munster allegedly told customs officers that the paperwork was on his laptop, adding, “but you don’t need them. I do this all the time.”

Federal prosecutors assert that these statements were materially false and that the researchers lacked the mandatory authorization to bring the pathogens into the country.

Romania’s Poison Mystery: Ministers, Intelligence Chiefs, Public Figures and Mercury Allegations Haunt Political Elite

The renewed focus on the alleged poisoning of former Romanian minister Doina Pană—coupled with similar, more recent cases—has revived public debate over a string of mysterious illnesses targeting Romanian political figures over the last two decades.

Some observers say similarities between these cases—sudden health collapses, confirmed heavy metal contamination, years of suffering, and investigations that either stalled or quietly disappeared—are simply too striking to ignore outright.

One of the most frequently cited examples is former Interior Minister Ioan Rus, of the Romanian Social Democratic Party (PSD). According to reports, Rus allegedly suffered prolonged poisoning with heavy metals while serving at the highest levels of government.

The symptoms were severe and debilitating. Rus reportedly lost nearly 100 pounds as his health deteriorated dramatically over an extended period.

Friends and associates described a prolonged struggle between life and death. He underwent treatment in multiple hospitals before eventually seeking care abroad, including in Vienna.

People close to the case say Romanian authorities never seriously clarified what happened. Despite widespread speculation and internal discussions within political circles, the matter faded without definitive public conclusions.

The allegations surrounding Rus are especially striking because they fit a pattern repeatedly mentioned in discussions about political poisonings: slow exposure through everyday consumables such as tea, coffee, or juice.

That same alleged method was later described by Doina Pană, the former Minister of Water and Forests, herself. She believes mercury may have been administered through fruit juice prepared at the ministry by someone she trusted.

Another case drawing renewed attention is that of former PSD deputy Vasile Bleotu. Bleotu became known for leading parliamentary efforts targeting figures tied to the administration of former President Traian Băsescu.

Shortly after his political offensive intensified, Bleotu reportedly developed serious medical problems. According to accounts cited in Romanian media commentary, tests later revealed dangerously high mercury contamination levels in his body.

Bleotu survived, but his political career effectively ended. Supporters and allies claimed the poisoning was linked to his anti-corruption investigations and political activities.

Yet, just as in Pană’s case, no clear legal resolution emerged. The allegations remained suspended between rumor, medical evidence, and institutional silence.

The evidence for a planned covid pandemic starts in the UK in 1966

In 2023, Dr. David Martin presented evidence to UK Parliamentarians that the covid pandemic was a 56-year plan in development, starting in the UK in 1966 when the Wellcome Trust decided to use the coronavirus as a method of human manipulation.

In 1967, the US and UK agreed to modify and manipulate coronavirus, and by 2011, a document showed an anti-trust collusion between the Wellcome Trust, Rockefeller Foundation, Gates Foundation and others to establish a universal vaccine by 2020.

The covid pandemic was not a public health emergency, but rather an orchestrated assault on liberties.  And the evidence points to a conspiracy to commit acts of terror, with key players including Peter Daszak and the World Health Organisation.

On 4 December 2023, Andrew Bridgen, then a Member of the UK Parliament (“MP”), hosted an event in the Wilson Room of Portcullis House, a building opposite the Houses of Parliament which provides offices for 210 MPs and their staff, supplementing the limited space in the Palace of Westminster and surrounding buildings.

16 MPs attended the event titled ‘For Democracy, Truth, and Freedom’ when Dr. David E. Martin said: “Covid was a 56-year plan in development that began in the UK when Wellcome Trust decided to use the coronavirus as the ‘preferred method of human manipulation’.”

Evo Morales Claims Plot to Capture or Kill Him as Bolivian Justice Closes In on Former Leader

Former Bolivian president Evo Morales has once again placed himself at the center of political controversy after publishing a lengthy social media statement claiming that an international operation is allegedly being prepared to capture—or even kill—him.

According to Morales, the United States ordered the Bolivian government to carry out a military operation against him with support from the DEA, U.S. Southern Command, and several units of Bolivia’s armed forces.

Morales claimed the alleged operation is taking place in the Cochabamba Tropics, a region that has served as his political and union stronghold for decades.

In his statement, Morales accused political figures tied to Bolivia’s past governments of helping orchestrate the supposed operation, including former minister Carlos Sánchez Berzaín, who served under former Bolivian president Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada.

The Invisible War Inside America’s Intelligence Empire

Tulsi Gabbard is one of the most unusual and controversial figures ever to ascend to the apex of the American intelligence apparatus. A former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, combat veteran, Lieutenant Colonel, and former presidential candidate who publicly broke with her own party over war, surveillance, and the sprawling national security bureaucracy, Gabbard spent years condemning the intelligence establishment before ultimately becoming Director of National Intelligence (DNI) under President Donald Trump. Her appointment alone sent seismic tremors through Washington’s permanent ruling class. Yesterday those tremors erupted into a political earthquake after allegations exploded across Capitol Hill and conservative media that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had removed highly sensitive files from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) during an escalating confrontation over the declassification of records involving the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the infamous MKUltra mind control program.

The controversy erupted publicly after reports circulated during Jesse Watters’ broadcast on Fox News on May 13, 2026. Watters stated that CIA personnel had effectively “raided” Gabbard’s office and removed dozens of boxes of classified records reportedly being prepared for public release. According to the claims aired on television and amplified across social media, the records included materials tied to the Kennedy assassination, covert CIA operations, and MKUltra, the notorious Cold War era program in which the agency conducted experiments involving LSD, hypnosis, psychological conditioning, and other forms of behavioral manipulation.

The story detonated instantly because of its staggering implications. Tulsi Gabbard is not merely another cabinet official. As Director of National Intelligence she oversees the broader Intelligence Community, including coordination among the CIA, The National Security Agency (NSA), The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA),and numerous other agencies. For the public to hear allegations that the CIA had entered the orbit of the DNI and removed records under dispute created the appearance of an internal war inside America’s intelligence hierarchy itself.

Beatles manager Brian Epstein was murdered by US mafia, Reggie Kray claimed in newly unearthed interview

Reggie Kray has claimed that Brian Epstein was murdered on the orders of the American mafia, according to an unearthed prison interview revealed in a new book.

Epstein, the influential manager of The Beatles, was found dead at his Belgravia home in 1967.

At the time, a pathologist concluded he had accidentally overdosed on Carbrital, a sedative prescribed to treat his insomnia. 

However, Beatles biographer Philip Norman’s new book suggests the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death may not be as straightforward as originally believed.

It raises the possibility that his death could have been connected to a failed US merchandising arrangement, which left several American businesses facing serious financial losses.

In a 1985 interview conducted at Parkhurst prison by Liverpool Echo journalist Peter Trollope, Kray gave a striking account of Epstein’s death. 

‘It’s easy to kill someone and make it look like an overdose,’ he said.

The Kray twins, notorious figures in London’s criminal underworld, also claimed they had planned to blackmail Epstein using compromising photographs taken at parties they hosted in the 1960s.

At the time, homosexuality was illegal in Britain.   

‘We were just going to blackmail Epstein over the photographs, but then he goes and dies,’ Kray said.

He added that organised crime groups could act indirectly through established British criminals: ‘For us, the Mob were always in the background. They knew that if they wanted anything done in England, they could do it through the Krays. But it [Epstein] wasn’t us.’

Norman writes in his book, Mr Moonlight: Brian Epstein and the Making of the Beatles, that Kray appeared to suggest Epstein may have been targeted by the American mafia, rather than his own gang.

‘This ultimate insider in British organised crime seemingly knew for certain that Brian had been murdered, albeit not by his own ‘Firm’… but, he’d hinted, by the American mafia to which the Firm had been fraternally linked,’ Norman wrote.

The book also details how Epstein became embroiled in a controversial US merchandising deal connected to the Beatles band.

According to Norman, Epstein licensed a group of New York entrepreneurs to produce official merchandise, but the agreement was heavily weighted against him and the band, who reportedly received just 10 per cent of profits.

As the arrangement unravelled, Epstein is said to have attempted to renegotiate more favourable deals from London.

The confusion allegedly led major US retailers, including Macy’s and JCPenney, to cancel orders, leaving some small manufacturers financially exposed.

Four Convicted in Plot That Led to Haitian President Jovenel Moïse’s Assassination

On July 7, 2021, Jovenel Moïse, the 43rd President of Haiti, was assassinated in his private residence in the Pèlerin 5 neighborhood of Pétion-Ville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince.

An armed group of mercenaries, mostly Colombian ex-soldiers plus two Haitian-Americans, stormed his home posing as DEA agents (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration) to gain access.

Moïse, aged 53, was shot 12 times and severely beaten before his death.

His wife, First Lady Martine Moïse, was shot multiple times but survived. Their children, who were home at the time, were left unharmed.

On Friday, a federal jury in Miami convicted four defendants for their roles in the assassination.

The DOJ shared, “Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, Antonio Intriago, Walter Veintemilla, and James Solages were convicted of conspiracy to provide material support or resources to carry out a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 956, resulting in death; providing material support and resources to carry out a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 956, resulting in death; conspiracy to kill and kidnap a person outside the United States; conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States; and expedition against a friendly nation. Intriago was also convicted of a third count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the U.S.; smuggling goods from the U.S.; and submitting false or misleading export information.”

“According to court records and evidence presented at trial, Pretel Ortiz, Intriago, Veintemilla, and Solages embarked on a scheme in early 2021 to violently overthrow President Moïse and install their handpicked successor so that the defendants could obtain lucrative government contracts in Haiti.”

“To carry out the plot, the defendants recruited allies in the U.S., Colombia, and Haiti, including 22 former Colombian Army soldiers and Haitian gang leaders. Eight of the co-conspirators, including two of the Colombian mercenaries and several of the group’s Haitian and American allies, pleaded guilty for their roles in the conspiracy, and six of them testified at trial.”

All four defendants face maximum penalties of life in prison.

DNA test uncovers kidnapping, mob, police corruption

Henderson man named Paul Fronczak had no idea that his entire life would be turned upside down when he bought a home DNA test kit. The results of that test took away his name, his family, and everything he knew about his life to that point.

It also opened up a multi-layered rabbit hole involving an infamous kidnapping, police corruption, the mob, and dark secrets buried for six decades.

8 News Now chief investigator George Knapp has followed this very twisted tale for decades and pushed to get answers to mysteries long thought unsolvable.

Paul Fronczak’s quest started with a single objective: find a kidnapped baby

This then exploded into a Byzantine maze of twists and subplots, too improbable even for a true crime miniseries. In the 14 years since he first contacted us for help, he’s dug up solid answers, but each answer led to more head-spinning questions. He still uses the name Paul Fronczak, but after years of searching, he sometimes feels as if he’s been living someone else’s life.

The initial mystery started at a Chicago hospital in 1964.  One day after the birth of Paul Fronczak, a woman dressed as a nurse kidnapped the baby and vanished. Police, the public, and the FBI conducted a massive manhunt. The story made international headlines, but the baby was gone.

Nearly two years later, an infant found abandoned on a sidewalk in New Jersey was presented by law enforcement to the brokenhearted Fronczak parents, who took one look and said that’s their missing boy.

The child grew up in a loving home but had nagging questions about why he looked so different from the rest of the Fronczak family.  

Fast forward to 2012, the adopted Paul Fronczak was living in Henderson and, almost as a lark, took a DNA test along with his parents. The test showed he was not the Fronczaks’ son and was not the kidnapped baby.

So who was he, and what happened to his namesake? That was the start of his quest, despite the official investigation from the FBI ending decades ago.

Conspiracy for Global Control

Are we all “conspiracy theorists” now? The Epstein files, it would seem, have made us so. They have opened a window that leaves us peering into the pits of hell. The millions of released files reveal horrific references to murder, rape, torture, cannibalism, strangulation, sadomasochism, child sex trafficking, child ritual sacrifice, eugenics, and transhumanism experimentation. The most sensational speculations concerning these references have yet to be proven, but the trail of victims and evidence is so immense, and Jeffrey Epstein’s network of associates and co-conspirators so astonishingly prominent, as to be literally jaw-dropping.

How could this have happened here in America? How could it have happened for so long and on such a horrendous scale without anyone in power doing anything to expose and stop him? Jeffrey Epstein was not some mere lone, sociopathic serial killer like Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer; he was an advisor, confidant, procurer, and pal to the rich and famous, the high and mighty: presidents, prime ministers, potentates, bankers, business titans, and billionaires. He enjoyed unparalleled access to the inner sanctums of Wall Street, Hollywood, Buckingham Palace, the White House, Silicon Valley, Ivy League universities, and other corridors of privilege and power.

Among “the great and the good” mentioned multiple times in the Epstein files we find the former Prince Andrew (now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, having been stripped of his royal titles); U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump; former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell; former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson; former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak; World Economic Forum president and CEO Borge Brende; Harvard University professor and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers; and a veritable Who’s Who of eminent academics, journalists, and other assorted public figures.

L’Affaire Epstein bespeaks a colossal crime-and-corruption network that bestrides the globe and reaches into the highest levels of institutional power. The same conspiratorial network has, until now, successfully covered up its unspeakable crimes, silenced or “disappeared” its victims, and squelched investigations and prosecutions. And it appears that, long after Epstein’s 2019 death, the same network is continuing efforts to “contain” and dissipate the public furor and impatience over official stonewalling and coverup.
