Axelrod Can’t Believe His Ears as He Learns Obama Got on 2008 Ballot With Election Fraud, Resulting in Criminal Convictions of Multiple Dems

Election meddling does not happen. At least, that’s what top Democratic Party officials believe, but it’s possible they just have a short memory or were not paying attention.

Former Chief Strategist and Senior Advisor to the Obama Administration David Axelrod either forgot, did not remember, or played dumb on CNN Tuesday evening when faced with the reality of such a case in Indiana.

Axelrod found himself hearing it from former White House spokesman and political commentator Pete Seat on “Anderson Cooper 360” and looked completely dumbfounded when Seat reminded him that Democrat officials in Indiana — Seat’s home state — were convicted of petition fraud relating to the 2008 primary.

“The gentleman you previously worked for, David Axelrod, Barack Obama got on the ballot because Democrats in that county submitted fraudulent ballot petition signatures.”

“People, including the Democrat county chair, went to jail over that.”

HORRIFIC: Illegal Alien With Lengthy Rap Sheet Brutally Murders California Man ONE DAY After This Woke Judge Releases Him

An innocent American citizen is dead at the hands of an illegal alien with a long criminal record, thanks in no small part to a far-left California judge.

As CBS News San Francisco reported, a man was found fatally stabbed outside his home in Martinez on August 6th. Firefighters and medical personnel promptly responded, but it was too late.

The victim was identified as 68-year-old Todd Stewart.

Authorities later identified 36-year-old Marcos Iriarte-Valdez as the person responsible for the crime and arrested him at his home on August 7th.

Surveillance video released by the police and shared with local news outlets shows the moment Iriarte-Valdez stabs Stewart to death on his own lawn.

It’s truly a horrifying scene.

Wacky Marxist Francesca Hong LOSES Wisconsin Dem Gubernatorial Primary to Establishment Opponent in Shocking Upset Following Suspicious Late-Night Ballot Drop

The dim-witted, holiday-hating communist who had emerged as one of new ‘stars’ of the Democratic Party has lost her primary in a stunning upset to a largely unknown establishment opponent following a late drop and chaos in Wisconsin’s largest city.

As CNN reported, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly defeated 37-year-old state assemblywoman Francesca Hong, who almost everyone assumed was going face Wisconsin GOP nominee Tom Tiffany in the general election.

The latest results show Crowley holding roughly a three thousand vote lead, less than half a percentage of the vote.

Crowley was backed by the entire Democratic establishment, including outgoing Wisconsin governor Tony Evers, who feared a hong nomination would mean a disastrous defeat in November.

Just hours before the race was called, the city of Milwaukee announced that 5 of the 9 USBs were ‘missing’ election results and results would be delayed.

This affected roughly 15,000 absentee ballots.

Notorious Wisconsin Election Official At Center Of Zuckbucks Scandal Resigns

Green Bay City Clerk Celestine Jeffreys’ reign of incompetence and law-breaking has come to an end. 

Jeffreys, who began her notorious tenure during Green Bay’s scandalous handling of the 2020 election, stepped down late last week amid an investigation into her latest election administration mess. 

But there remain several “conveniently” unanswered questions for Green Bay’s leftist leadership, according to the Brown County GOP. 

‘It’s Long Overdue’

Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich released a statement on Friday announcing that “Ms. Jeffreys has made the decision to step down from her role as City Clerk.”

“We wish her the best in her future endeavors,” the mayor’s office said. 

That’s it. A two-sentence goodbye, followed by notice that the announcement will be “the City’s only statement on the matter.”

Jeffreys’ ignominious resignation comes a month after the city placed the embattled clerk on administrative leave for sending an unspecified number of absentee ballots to voters in several Green Bay wards — in advance of Wisconsin’s August primary. The election is scheduled for Tuesday. Jeffreys’ office described the mistake as a “printing error.”

As The Federalist reported last month, the bungling clerk’s latest miscue occurred less than three months after the office issued duplicate absentee ballots “in at least 152 instances” before the city’s spring elections, according to a complaint filed by the Republican Party of Wisconsin and Brown County GOP board member Theresa Sipes. 

The Wisconsin Elections Commission has launched yet another investigation into the city clerk’s office, finding probable cause that Jeffreys’ latest ballot mishap broke Wisconsin elections law. City officials later this month are expected to deliver a presentation on their investigation into the clerk’s office to the leftist-led Green Bay City Council, which has countenanced Jeffreys’ incompetence for years. 

Doug Reich, chairman of the Republican Party of Brown County, told The Federalist last month that two absentee ballot debacles in the span of a few months is “not an ‘oops.’” And Jeffreys leaving mid-investigation isn’t accountability. 

“[I]t’s the bare minimum, and it’s long overdue,” Reich wrote on the county GOP’s Facebook page.

“Two elections. Two rounds of duplicate absentee ballots. A state investigation. And the best the city could produce, even after all that, was a two-sentence statement with no explanation and no apology to the voters affected,” the chairman added. 

‘Gross Incompetence Or Something Worse’

Reich said Green Bay officials have yet to clarify how many voters received absentee ballots for Tuesday’s primary election. He noted that Jeffreys personally printed the spring election ballot labels, and she did it again in June. 

“And her April report to the WEC left that out entirely, which is its own problem,” the GOP official wrote. “What has the city offered as proof? An unsworn letter from its own attorney. No records. No affidavit. Nothing Jeffreys has put her name to under oath. That’s not transparency, it’s damage control.”

Nicholas Boerke, Sipes’ legal counsel, has asked the Wisconsin Elections Commission to find that the city has failed to comply with the election regulator’s July 31 order demanding Green Bay officials explain how Jeffreys’ “printer error” happened — again. 

“As I have said all along, this is either gross incompetence or something worse and the difference matters,” Boerke wrote in his letter to the commission. “An unsworn letter from a city lawyer, with no records, no affidavit, and nothing the (former) Clerk will stand behind under oath, is not accountability. More is necessary.”

The attorney said the WEC has the authority to subpoena records and take testimony under oath. 

Here’s another important question: Who is running the city clerk’s office? As Reich wrote, Green Bay’s deputy clerk has been left holding the bag, running day-to-day operations, including preparing for Tuesday’s primary, “while the city drags its feet on a permanent replacement.”

How Big Ag Seized Control Over Media, Research, Policy and the Marketplace

Journalist Amy Westervelt has spent years documenting how the oil industry used public relations, think tanks and university partnerships to shape public opinion and influence public policy.

But in a recent interview on the “Real Organic Podcast,” Westervelt said she increasingly sees many of those same tactics in industrial agriculture.

“I am finding so many parallels in the agriculture space,” said Westervelt, host of the investigative podcast “Drilled” and author of the forthcoming book, “Brought to You By: Inside Big Oil’s Total Information War.”

She said large agricultural companies, like their counterparts in the fossil fuel industry, have established research centers that help generate academic support for policies that benefit industry.

“It’s like they need a certain amount of … credible information from academics to be able to make the policy argument for certain things,” she said.

Throughout the interview, Westervelt suggested these efforts are part of a broader corporate strategy designed not simply to influence markets, but to shape public debate before policy decisions are ever made.

‘Corporations start to have multiple problems with democracy’

Westervelt traced the origins of modern corporate public relations to the early 20th century, arguing that growing public scrutiny prompted businesses to rethink how they protected their interests.

“Corporations start to have multiple problems with democracy” as new laws, investigative reporting and broader voting rights threatened business interests, she said. That’s when you see “the birth of corporate PR.”

Rather than simply selling products, corporations sought to mold public opinion before voters could demand greater oversight, according to Westervelt.

“These companies need a way to shape the information that voters are getting in a way that will make them more likely to vote against their own interests and in the interests of the corporations that have a lot at stake,” she said.

Over time, industries refined those tactics, using increasingly sophisticated methods “to try to shape the context that they’re operating in and to deal with … ‘creeping democracy,’” Westervelt said.

Vaccine Amnesia: 75 Forgotten News Segments That Could Never Air Today

Before the press was captured, vaccine injuries were openly covered on national TV. Now the dam of censorship is breaking, and we can finally confront the tragic history that keeps repeating.

A key theme I’ve tried to highlight in this publication is that the same medical catastrophes keep repeating (because those responsible are never held accountable), so by understanding what happened in the past, you can see and understand what is happening now and what will likely happen in the future.

For example, because vaccines are “risky but necessary,” the medical profession and government, again and again, concluded that they needed to tell the public all vaccines were “safe and effective” as the potential injuries a mass vaccination campaign would cause were outweighed by “necessary” benefit the vaccines could offer. As such, examples can be found again and again of severe injuries being systematically covered up for the “greater good” (e.g., the earliest documented example I know of this happened in 1874 with the smallpox vaccine) and health authorities concocting the same set of excuses we’ve seen since smallpox as to why those vaccines failed to prevent the diseases they were supposed to.

Since the risks of most vaccines (detailed here) far outweigh their benefits, a mass-vaccination paradigm can only be sustained by censoring the evidence of harm — and then citing that manufactured silence as proof of safety. Over the decades, more and more has been done to conceal those harms. For almost a century, severe neurological injuries after vaccination were routinely reported in the medical literature. Now vaccine injuries are censored, and it is nearly impossible to publish anything critical of vaccines in a “reputable” journal.

Likewise, despite the “science” that says vaccines are safe, it is nearly impossible to obtain the raw datasets that could actually answer the question — as Steve Kirsch showed the public throughout COVID-19 with his relentless, endlessly stonewalled quest to get that data. Likewise, VAERS, a public injury-reporting database only exists because the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act required a way for patients to bypass doctors refusing to report their injuries, and as such, ever since a law mandated its creation, everything possible has been done to undermine and discredit VAERS (except when the industry uses it as “proof” to prove vaccines are safe).

This is the inescapable problem at the heart of mass vaccination. When you take a product that is not completely safe and give it to an entire population, tens of millions of healthy people, most of whom were never at meaningful risk from the disease, even a small rate of serious harm guarantees that enormous numbers are injured or killed. Since there is no way around that arithmetic the authorities have chosen concealment every time, suppressing the data, reclassifying the injuries, and dismissing each casualty as a coincidence, because the alternative is admitting the paradigm itself produces the ever-increasing wave of chronic illness sweeping our society.

For a long time, the injuries were too numerous to fully hide, so the public kept reawakening to them and the mainstream media kept covering them. The industry’s solution came after it won liability protection in the 1986 vaccine law: spend whatever it took to censor the coverage and bury the injuries. But removing that check, the public finding out and objecting, removed the only real constraint on toxic vaccines reaching the market, and progressively more dangerous ones followed, until the COVID-19 catastrophe injured so many people that even a robust censorship apparatus couldn’t contain it. Numerous polls I’ve summarized in detail here demonstrate the scale of the vaccine injuries: depending on the survey, 7% to 13% of recipients reported a serious side effect, 24% to 28% say they know someone they believe died from the shot, and 46% to 55% believe the COVID vaccines have killed a significant number of people. Propaganda has its limits, and once numbers like those take hold, a new awareness of vaccine injury surfaces across the media ecosystem, occasionally on conservative networks, but mostly in the independent press.

Because we keep forgetting the past, the cycle repeats. My goal here is to show that what we are seeing now is nothing new, that it has happened countless times before, on a smaller scale that was easier to sweep under the rug, by collecting dozens of clips that were once routinely aired on television and are almost inconceivable today, given how brutal the censorship has become.

California Orders NGO Serving As “Financial Backbone” For Singham-Linked Marxism Causes To Cease Operations

Foreign policy investigator Adam Kredo of The Washington Free Beacon revealed on Monday that California regulators ordered Arc of Justice, a nonprofit operated by left-wing Code Pink cofounder Medea Benjamin, to cease charitable operations after years of missing tax filings and unanswered questions about what happened to $51 million in reported assets. 

The state attorney general revoked the foundation’s charitable registration in January 2025, barring it from distributing assets without prior approval. A June 19 warning letter went further, directing Arc of Justice to stop soliciting, holding or spending charitable funds in California and warning that board members could face personal liability for unauthorized distributions.

Kredo cited an investigation by the watchdog group Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN) that said since California first revoked the foundation’s charitable registration 18 months ago and ordered it to provide a full accounting of $51,445,599 in outstanding assets it held as of 2023, “no public document establishes what has happened to the money, where it is held, or whether any of it has moved.” 

The California Franchise Tax Board subsequently confirmed that the foundation was no longer in good standing or certified as tax-exempt. At the same time, the Secretary of State listed the organization as suspended.

“The silence from Arc of Justice raises unanswered questions about a foundation that has long served as the financial backbone for a network of radical advocacy groups tied to Benjamin and her Code Pink cofounder, Jodie Evans,” Kredo wrote in the report.

Wuhan’s ‘Bat Woman’ Runs A New Lab Creating Coronaviruses That Can Infect Humans. U.S. Tax Dollars Are Still Supporting Her Work.

Shi Zhengli is recruiting researchers for “pathogen discovery/coronavirus” and “cross-species infection risk” work. NIH-backed scientists continued collaborating with her after COVID, including on research using materials she supplied from her new Chinese laboratory.

Shi Zhengli, the Chinese virologist whose years of bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology made her one of the most scrutinized scientists in the world after COVID-19, did not disappear.

She moved on to another powerful Chinese state laboratory, where she is now helping train a new generation of coronavirus researchers.

Chinese-language records reviewed for this report show Shi is currently affiliated with Guangzhou Laboratory, a national laboratory established in 2021 that describes itself as part of China’s strategic scientific and technological apparatus for combating respiratory diseases. Her current research profile focuses on discovering new viruses in bats and other wildlife, studying their biological characteristics, and investigating the mechanisms that allow viruses to jump between species.

Even more striking is what Guangzhou Laboratory is recruiting scientists to do under Shi today.

A 2026 doctoral recruitment notice lists Shi as an adviser in pathogen biology with a research concentration explicitly described as “pathogen discovery/coronavirus.”

Another 2026 doctoral program, jointly operated by Guangzhou Laboratory and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, lists Shi as an adviser for “pathogen discovery and cross-species infection risk research.” Students in the program conduct their coursework primarily through the Wuhan Institute of Virology before carrying out most of their scientific research and dissertation work at Guangzhou Laboratory.

The Bomb in Monaco and a Torture Room Near Kyiv

They took her trainers. That is the detail that survives, once the rest is stripped away – the belongings removed from the corpse, the shoes pulled from her feet, the shallow hole in woods sixty kilometers west of Kyiv. Anastasiia Berezovska had been shot in the back of the head, then shot again as she lay on the ground, four rounds in all. She was thirty-nine. Six days earlier she had walked out of a stairwell in Monaco having left a backpack in the lobby of an apartment building, and the backpack had torn three people apart. The distance between those two moments – the placing of the bomb and the emptying of a pistol into the woman who placed it – is the whole of this story, and almost everything inside it has been arranged so that the distance cannot be measured.

The device was packed with buckshot and bolts, a charge built for a confined space and for flesh. Monaco’s Minister of State, Christophe Mirmand, said it contained bolts and pellets – a thing made, in plain terms, for the maximum killing of its target. It was detonated by remote control at the moment Vadym Iermolaiev and his family returned from dinner at a seaside restaurant on the evening of 29 June. The man survived with burns and shrapnel. His partner’s legs were amputated in hospital. Their thirteen-year-old son was hurt less badly. The figure who left the bag was seen on the building’s cameras and then seen fleeing on foot toward the French commune of Beausoleil, a few metres and one border away. It was the first attack of its kind in the principality’s history, and the chief prosecutor, Stéphane Thibault, moved quickly to rule out terrorism. A targeted killing, then, in the one place in Europe designed to guarantee that the origins of a wealthy man’s fortune are never examined too closely.

The person who placed it had prepared to disappear. Berezovska disguised herself as a man and fled in a car with German registration plates, across the French border, then into Italy. She had been living in Frankfurt, where German police would later search her apartment and prepare to hand what they found to the Monegasque authorities. On 1 July, the day after the bombing, she crossed into Ukraine and caught a bus to her home town of Zhytomyr, west of Kyiv. The state border service would afterwards insist she entered lawfully, through a regular crossing point, with no database alert – including from Interpol – flagging her as wanted. That is technically true and quietly damning: Interpol did not issue its Red Notice until 4 July, three days after she was already home. The one suspect in an atrocity on European soil walked back into Ukraine unimpeded, and by the time the world’s police apparatus formally wanted her, she was already among the people who would kill her. Her body was recovered on 6 July.

The two men arrested for her murder had both been sending her money — cryptocurrency and transfers into her bank accounts, which is how, the Security Service of Ukraine says, they were identified at all. One of them, Vladyslav Reut, thirty-three, appeared in a Kyiv court on 10 July and described how it was done. His accomplice, a former Kyiv-region police officer named Vitalii Zhykovych, took her at gunpoint to a forest near the village of Yuriv. “Zhykovych fired the first shot at her in the back of the head. She fell down. He came up and fired another shot. I was standing a few meters away at that moment.” Reut said he was then made to dig the hole, while Zhykovych stripped the body of its possessions and took the dead woman’s trainers. He told the judge he would insist on a polygraph to prove his innocence. Zhykovych, through his lawyer, denies the allegations.

Reut is not a criminal picked off the street. He studied law at Kyiv’s national university and served in Ukraine’s military intelligence directorate, the GUR, in unit A2772 – a training center for special-operations forces. That was established not by Moscow’s propagandists but by the investigative journalists of Radio Liberty’s Schemy project, and reported by Luke Harding in the Guardian from Kyiv. So the plain shape of it is this: a serving officer of a state intelligence service financed and helped carry out the execution of the only witness to a bombing in a European city. This is not the allegation of Ukraine’s enemies. It is the account produced by Ukraine’s own security service, in its own statement, within days of the killing.

Pedophile Paradise: How Israel and Its US Allies Protect Sex Offenders

Before Donald Trump and Israel attacked Iran, Jeffrey Epstein was the biggest story in the world. It’s not hard to see why.

Epstein captured the public’s imagination not just because his case exposed the extent of elite depravity and lack of accountability, but also because the world’s most notorious pedophile was almost certainly an Israeli intelligence asset. That fact adds a whole new geopolitical dimension to the already twisted and complicated Epstein saga.

But Epstein is not an aberration. For decades, Israel has served as a sanctuary for sexual predators while the US government looked the other way. Israel’s allies on the American Christian Right have always remained conspicuously silent on the issue.

Fugitives, Fixers, and Years of Delay

The Law That Made Israel a Safe Haven for Criminals

In 1978, Israel banned the extradition of its own citizens. The law, pushed through under Prime Minister Menachem Begin, was intended to protect Jews from hostile courts, but it later created a loophole that allowed Israeli citizens accused of crimes abroad to avoid extradition.

In September 1997, Samuel Sheinbein killed 19-year-old Alfredo Enrique Tello Jr. in Maryland and fled to Israel, where he claimed Israeli citizenship through his Israeli-born father and became protected from extradition to the US. His father, Sol, an attorney with dual citizenship, brought him a passport and a ticket to Tel Aviv, and that case became a major precedent in Israel’s extradition law.

Israel’s Supreme Court blocked Sheinbein’s extradition in a 3–2 decision, despite demands from Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and congressional threats to suspend aid. Chief Justice Aharon Barak, who wrote the dissenting opinion, argued that Sheinbein should be extradited and warned that the ruling could turn Israel into a haven for criminals. Sheinbein received 24 years in an Israeli prison, far short of the sentence he could have faced in the US.

Israel amended the law after the scandal, allowing the extradition of Israeli citizens under specified conditions. The Sheinbein case exposed a conflict between Israel’s domestic extradition law and its extradition obligations to the US, and prompted a broader overhaul of the country’s extradition framework. During the debate over the reform, Hanan Porat, head of the Knesset’s Law Committee, warned against allowing Israel to become a “safe house for criminals abroad.”

By 2020, Jewish Community Watch had identified more than 60 accused child-sex offenders who had moved from the US to Israel since 2014, and believed the true number was higher. Activists blamed both Israel for failing to address the problem and the US for not pursuing extradition aggressively, according to CBS News.
