Deadly USS Liberty Attack Records Remain Secret – For Now

On November 21, 2024, Senior Judge Marsha J. Pechman of the US District Court for the Western District of Washington issued what seems likely to be her final order in Kinnucan v. National Security Agency et al. The order came more than four years after the federal case was first filed in September 2020. The suit was brought to obtain records the NSA, Central Intelligence Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency had failed to release despite a series of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests concerning the USS Liberty (AGTR-5).

On June 8, 1967 – three days after Israel initiated the Six-Day War by attacking Egypt – Israeli forces launched a combined aerial and naval assault on the Liberty. Lasting over an hour, the unprovoked attack killed 34 Americans and wounded more than 170 others. The Israeli government would claim that the attack was the result of mistaken identity. More than 57 years after the attack, the FOIA lawsuit revealed new details and, more importantly, it made it clear that the US government is still refusing to release hundreds of pages of documents concerning the assault.

White House Caught in Dronegate Cover-Up? — White House Spokesman Kirby Denies Drone Incursions Despite NJ Military Base Confirming 11 Breaches

Biden’s White House is downplaying reports of unauthorized drone activity over military installations in New Jersey. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby categorically denied any confirmed incursions, dismissing over 3,000 reports of “car-sized drones” as mistaken sightings of helicopters or airplanes.

Kirby’s assurances, however, directly contradict statements from military officials at New Jersey’s Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle, both of which have confirmed unauthorized drone breaches in recent weeks.

During a press briefing on Thursday, Kirby claimed:

“We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI are investigating these sightings, and they’re working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin.”

Using very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities, we have not been able to, and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities, corroborate any of the reported visual sightings.

To the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully.

The United States Coast Guard is providing support to the state of New Jersey, and has confirmed that there is no evidence of any foreign-based involvement from coastal vessels. And importantly, there are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted airspace.”

Whistleblower: FBI Deputy Director Abbate Told Agents to Hide Dozens of January 6 Informants from Public – Knew It Would Be “Too Embarrassing” for Agency to Tell the Truth to Americans

According to a 2023 whistleblower, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate told subordinates at the agency to hide the identities of dozens of January 6 government informants. He said it would be too embarrassing for the agency if the information was leaked out. So they hid this from the American public.

Kerry Picket reported on this at the time.

An FBI agent told the House Judiciary Committee that Deputy Director Paul Abbate suggested that at least 25 FBI confidential human sources, or informants, involved in reporting to the bureau from the Jan. 6, 2021, protest should not be publicly acknowledged.

In July 2023, investigative reporter Kerry Picket from The Washington Times.

An FBI agent told the House Judiciary Committee that Deputy Director Paul Abbate suggested that at least 25 FBI confidential human sources, or informants, involved in reporting to the bureau from the Jan. 6, 2021, protest should not be publicly acknowledged.

Many FBI whistleblowers have come forward with their concerns about the bureau as Director Christopher A. Wray is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

They are making allegations of politically motivated investigations, politically biased leadership and misconduct by senior officials at America’s premier law enforcement agency.

According to the whistleblower disclosure sent to the committee, Mr. Abbate notified one or more of his subordinates that the more than 25 informants were too problematic or embarrassing for the FBI to have their existence made known to the public and that the existence, activities and identities of these FBI confidential human sources should not be released.

Pfizer Accused of Hiding Deaths in COVID-19 Vaccine Trials, Including ‘Subject 11141050’ in Kansas, Team Research Alleges

A team of researchers analyzing Pfizer’s clinical trial data has accused the pharmaceutical giant of concealing deaths during its COVID-19 vaccine trials.

Among the allegations is the failure to disclose the death of a Kansas participant who was part of the BNT162b2 vaccine trial. The death reportedly occurred 41 days after the participant received their second vaccine dose.

The accusations stem from a detailed report led by Dr. Jeyanthi Kunadhasan, an anesthetist and perioperative physician, and a member of the DailyClout research team.

The team alleges that Pfizer’s reporting practices during the critical juncture leading to the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the vaccine were flawed, with significant delays in documenting serious adverse events, including deaths.

“The Polack paper disclosed six deaths — two in the BNT162b2 arm, and four in the Placebo arm. In the journal article and the EUA approval documentation[9], the six deaths covered the period of July 27, 2020, through November 14, 2020,” Dr. Kunadhasan wrote in a letter sent to Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, who filed a lawsuit against Pfizer.

“This letter will demonstrate that Pfizer-BioNTech possessed records showing that eight deaths, four in the BNT162b2 arm and four in the Placebo arm, should have been disclosed by Pfizer to the FDA.  In addition, the two undisclosed deaths presented a cardiac event signal in the clinical trial’s BNT162b2 recipients. One of the undisclosed deaths in the vaccinated arm of the trial occurred in Kansas,” she added.

Subject 11141050, a 63-year-old Kansas woman, participated in Pfizer’s clinical trial at a research site in Newton, Kansas.

Despite her pre-existing conditions, including hypertension and depression, she met the trial’s inclusion criteria and received her second vaccine dose on September 8, 2020. She passed away on October 19, 2020, with the cause of death determined to be sudden cardiac arrest.

FDA must disclose more COVID-19 vaccine records, US judge rules

A federal judge has ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to publicly disclose more information underpinning its authorization of COVID-19 vaccines, after failing to persuade the court to end the public records lawsuit.

In a ruling, opens new tab on Friday, U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman in Fort Worth, Texas, ordered the agency to produce its “emergency use authorization” file to a group of scientists who wanted to see licensing information that the FDA relied on to approve the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine.

“The COVID-19 pandemic is long passed and so has any legitimate reason for concealing from the American people the information relied upon by the government in approving the Pfizer vaccine,” wrote Pittman, appointed in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump.

The lawsuit, filed in late 2021, attracted attention after the FDA said it could take decades to process and disclose records to Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, the group that brought the case.

The FDA declined to comment.

Attorney Aaron Siri, representing the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, welcomed Pittman’s order.

“The FDA clearly lacks confidence in the review that it conducted to license Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine because it is doing everything possible to prevent independent scientists from conducting an independent review,” Siri said.

He said the agency was “hiding from the court and the plaintiff one million pages of clinical trial documents from the COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials.”

The US government must come clean about UFOs 

Last month’s congressional hearings on unidentified anomalous phenomena — UAP, the government’s new name for UFOs — could be characterized as a tale of two testimonies.  

The first hearing was before two subcommittees of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and included sworn statements by myself, a former NASA official, an investigative journalist and Luis Elizondo, a former senior leader of the Pentagon’s secret UAP office, known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

Elizondo was unequivocal about UAP: They are real, of nonhuman origin, represent advanced technologies that are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe, and information about them is being withheld by the U.S. government from members of Congress and the public.

In my testimony, I backed up Lue’s statement and commended his courage and that of other former government UAP witnesses and whistleblowers who have spoken out. I also described my personally witnessing a now-declassified UAP video captured by the infrared sensor on a Navy fighter jet during a training event off the East Coast in 2015.  

The second UAP hearing took place a week after the first and featured Jon Kosloski, the director of the Pentagon’s UAP Office. Kosloski testified before the chairwoman and ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities. He too spoke in no uncertain terms, stating that his office, also known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, has discovered no verifiable evidence of activity, technology or beings of extraterrestrial origin. 

Additionally, Kosloski provided the results of a technical analysis of the very UAP video I described during my testimony a week prior. The UAP in the video has been called the “Go Fast” due to the relatively high apparent velocity it exhibited. Kosloski, however, concluded that the UAP was in fact not traveling very fast, therefore inferring that it was not anomalous in nature.  

Such a conclusion is suspect: not only did Kosloski’s office fail to interview the Navy aviator who captured the video, but the office’s director also neglected to address the context of this UAP observation, which I provided to the House subcommittees. Namely, the object’s speed was not of primary concern — the real issue was that it was one of a “fleet” of many UAP causing multiple near mid-air collisions with the Navy aircraft in the area.  

Moreover, the Department of Defense has yet to identify the origin, intent and physical mechanisms of these anomalous objects. This is concerning because these UAP presented such a significant flight safety threat that the four-star admiral overseeing the exercise nearly shut it down. Given these gaps in information and the timing, one must wonder if Pentagon’s analysis of the “Go Fast” video was presented in an attempt to directly debunk my testimony only days earlier.

‘They covered up child rape’: how the New Orleans archdiocese protected a priest who preyed on children

In the case of serial child molester and retired Catholic priest Lawrence Hecker, the cover-up failed.

But it wasn’t for lack of trying by a coalition of high-ranking church officials and sympathetic judges, who prioritized the predator’s comfort above justice for his innumerable victims until the evidence against him was so overwhelming that – rather than stand the humiliation of a public trial – he pleaded guilty last Tuesday.

The 93-year-old’s decision not only saddled him with an automatic life sentence. It also exposed how Catholic bureaucrats in Hecker’s home town of New Orleans, one of the church’s strongholds in the US, repeated the same sins that produced an eerily similar scandal in Boston two decades earlier – events later immortalized in the Oscar-winning film Spotlight.

This is the only conclusion to draw from years of reporting and studying the church files, court records, legal proceedings and and law enforcement documents outlining the campaign of terror to which Hecker subjected so many children raised in one of the most reliably Catholic regions remaining in the US.

Files held by New Orleans’s Catholic archdiocese establish that Hecker was molesting children virtually immediately upon his ordination in 1958. Chronologically speaking, one of Hecker’s earliest victims was a preteen altar boy who described attending nude swimming parties with the priest – gatherings that would culminate in sexual assaults by the attacker.

Hecker eventually instructed that boy to bring a box containing a feather to a particular fellow priest at another nearby Catholic school and church. In short order, the second priest sexually attacked the boy – and the victim said he came to realize Hecker had used the feather to mark him as vulnerable to molestation.

Unsurprisingly, Hecker’s superiors became more than aware of his crimes. Accusations against him piled up at each of the major milestones in the US church’s reckoning with Catholic clergy sexual abuse, which began in the 1980s when Louisiana priest Gilbert Gauthe pleaded guilty in criminal court to molesting several boys.

Around that time, then New Orleans archbishop Philip Hannan received a child molestation complaint against Hecker. Hannan’s response – carried out in private – was to fly Hecker to a sabbatical in New York City before letting him return to work once things back home cooled off.

Journo Mark Halperin Calls Coverup of Biden’s Mental Decline ‘One of the Biggest Scandals in American History’

Journalist Mark Halperin said the Democrat Party and media’s coverup of Joe Biden’s mental decline over the years was “one of the biggest scandals” in US history.

Halperin told Fox News host Jesse Watters on Friday that the Democrats and legacy media knew of Biden’s declining mental acuity for years but dared not talk about for fear of helping Donald Trump get elected.

“But I will say that the donors and the Democratic officials who are now so outraged about the conduct, as you said, the press knew all this, so did they,” Halperin said. “They stood silent when Joe Biden’s operatives crushed Bobby Kennedy and Dean Phillips and rigged the rules. They stood silent as he stayed in the race and decided he was going to run for another term. They stood silent when Kamala Harris was given the nomination without a shot being fired.”

Rising Death Rates and Health Injuries from Covid Vax Can No Longer Be Covered up

Ireland joins international initiative of 11 States calling for a suspension of mod mRNA vaccines, citing serious health concerns.

Joining Ireland’s call is Dr. Francis Boyle, author of the U.S. ‘Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorist Act of 1989’

Do you remember when myself and a very few others warned you to avoid the Covid “vaccine”?  We were accused of spreading misinformation that would increase the lethality of Covid-19 by discouraging people from protecting themselves with a “safe and effective vaccine,” to use words from the  lying mouths of Tony Fauci and Joe Biden.

Now medical experts and public authorities are calling for a halt to all mRNA vaccination.  The rising deaths and enormous increase in deadly diseases and health conditions following the mass vaccinations can no longer be denied.  

The medical profession is controlled by Big Pharma, and Big Pharma thinks only in terms of its profits, our health be damned.  Perhaps something can be done about it now that Bobby Kennedy has been appointed Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, assuming Big Pharma doesn’t block his confirmation in the Senate, and now that Trump has nominated Jay Bhattacharya to head the NIH. Bhattacharya, a Stanford University School of Medicine professor, was an early critic of pandemic lockdowns and vaccine mandates. The Big Pharma controlled medical community tried to label Bhattacharya “unscientific” and destroy his career. Big Pharma, a gangster industry, will definitely be out to block Bhattacharya’s confirmation.

Dem Rep. From Colorado Claims FBI and DOJ Stonewalling in Investigation of First Trump Assassination Attempt

Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, a Democrat, recently told National Public Radio that the FBI and the DOJ are stonewalling congress as they attempt to investigate the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, PA.

One of the frustrating aspects of this crime is that the public still knows so little about the shooter and how he was able to get so close to Trump with so many obvious red flags. There are also still many lingering questions about motive.

Surprisingly, Crow claims that the Secret Service has been very forthcoming so far.
