SHOCKING REVELATION: Unearthed Video Shows Soros-Funded Candidate Jocelyn Benson Explaining How She Worked Undercover for SPLC—Was an Informant for The FBI

In an unearthed video, Michigan Secretary of State and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson can be seen campaigning for her first run for secretary of state in Michigan in 2010. The event was held in Houghton, Michigan, at a Democratic Party office. At the time, Benson was new to politics, but somehow caught the attention of George Soros, who apparently saw someone he aligned with in his quest to destroy everything good and decent about America and helped fund her campaign. To date, 4 members of the Soros family, including George Soros, have contributed a whopping $33,120 to Jocelyn Benson’s current 2026 Michigan gubernatorial campaign.

Jocelyn Benson is seen standing in front of what appears to be a kitchen, addressing a crowd of fellow Democrats. During her introduction, Benson said she was raised in Pennsylvania and that, after graduating from Harvard Law School in 2004, she worked for the Southern Poverty Law Center in Alabama. Although their stated mission is to root out “hate groups,” many believe the SPLC is in and of itself a “hate group,” used to target conservative groups by mislabeling and mischaracterizing them in an effort to destroy their credibility.

Benson doesn’t explain exactly how she became an FBI informant through her undercover work for the SPLC, but she makes sure to include this little tidbit in her resume when addressing potential voters.

Former Hollywood Executive Added to FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters List

Former Hollywood executive Mary Carole McDonnell has been added to the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters list.

McDonnell, who was also the CEO of Bellum Entertainment — which suddenly shut down in 2017 after its payroll collapsed — is accused of fraudulently obtaining nearly $30 million from California banks, according to multiple reports.

The 75-year-old, who has been facing a federal arrest warrant since 2018, is believed to currently be living in Dubai. She also falsely claimed to be an heiress to the McDonnell aircraft family, faking her inheritance and background.

McDonnell is wanted on charges of bank fraud involving millions of dollars and aggravated identity theft in connection with an alleged scheme in Los Angeles and Orange Counties that defrauded banks of millions of dollars.

A former Bellum Entertainment employee told NBC News, “There would be a mad dash out the door to get them to the banks before the banks would close so you could cash them, because they would move money around.”

“I had a lot of bounced checks,” he added.

Another ex-employee told the outlet, “It was always some issue with the bank or the money that they were supposed to be getting wasn’t released to them yet, or they had to change banks, or they were getting a loan.”

The FBI is offering a reward of $150,000 for information leading to her arrest and conviction.

“It’s just a matter of time before McDonnell is caught as we work with our international partners to locate her,” Patrick Grandy, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, said, according to a report by KTLA.

“A generous reward is being offered in exchange for information leading to her apprehension and conviction, and a tip from the public might break the case,” Grandy added.

Authorities say that between July 2017 and May 2018, McDonnell obtained $14.7 million from the bank despite knowing she was not entitled to the funds, and she has not repaid the money. She is also accused of defrauding other financial institutions in a similar manner.

FBI Agents Fired Over Their Roles For Targeting Trump in Classified Documents Case Sue to Get Their Jobs Back

The nine former FBI agents fired for their roles in Jack Smith’s classified documents case are suing the FBI and Director Kash Patel for their jobs back.

The disgruntled agents said they were fired without cause.

FBI Director Kash Patel fired the agents in February 2026.

The former agents argued that they never volunteered to work on the “Plasmic Echo” case, but rather were assigned to it because of their roles in counterintelligence.

NBC News reported:

Nine former FBI employees involved in the classified documents case against President Donald Trump filed suit Thursday against FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging their firings were “unlawful.”

The group’s suit says they were fired without cause for their work on the case involving Trump, and that the firings appeared to be politically motivated. It noted they were booted while FBI Patel was being criticized by the administration for partying with the U.S. Olympic hockey team.

FBI Special Agent Miles Starr, who was working in a unit called the “Director’s Advisory Team” that was apparently formed to look into Trump’s perceived political enemies, had demanded urgent access to the “Plasmic Echo” case file — the code name for the investigation into the classified documents case — on Feb. 23, the lawsuit says.

That was after video of Patel chugging a beer and “flinging alcohol around the U.S. men’s hockey team’s locker room at the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, began circulating widely on social media and news sites,” the suit says.

The file had the names of the agents who’d worked on the investigation, and they were summarily fired over the next few days without any of the required due process, the suit says.

“Each Plaintiff was provided with a termination letter signed by Director Patel” that falsely claimed that they had exercised “poor judgment and a lack of impartiality in carrying out their duties, leading to the political weaponization of the government,” the suit says.

FBI shuts down over 40 North Korean laptop farms used by fake remote workers — over 200 devices seized in Texas, although no arrests were made so far

The FBI has dismantled a major North Korean laptop farm operation in the U.S. with the help of CrowdStrike, which assisted in the identification and disruption of these networks. According to The New York Times, the agency shut down over 40 laptop farms in Texas, resulting in the seizure of over 200 devices. No arrests have been made so far, as the authorities wanted to take down the operations as soon as possible and did not wait for prosecutors to file charges against those involved, although they also warned that they could face criminal penalties if they continue to be involved with remote fraud.

North Korea has been using fake remote workers to earn income despite the economic sanctions placed against the hermit kingdom. It has been reported that it earns around $500 million a year under this scheme, which affects both startups and Fortune 500 companies. Amazon’s IT department actually caught one North Korean infiltrator after it noticed a 110ms keyboard input lag, betraying their distant location.

The U.S. has been clamping down on this scheme since last year, after it shut down 29 North Korean laptop farms across 16 states that were facilitating the employment of North Korean IT workers across over a hundred U.S. companies. Four U.S. citizens and a Ukrainian national were convicted over scams like this in November 2025, with the Justice Department unsealing indictments against two U.S. citizens and 10 China-based North Koreans recently. Prosecutors said that the last group defrauded more than $3 million from 70 companies over a span of six years from 2019, and that the identities of two more individuals involved in the case remain under seal.

Despite the number of networks that U.S. authorities have been able to shut down since last year, CrowdStrike’s Adam Meyers, who’s in charge of the company’s counter adversary operations, says that this scheme is “increasing both in prevalence and complexity.” He noted that it’s difficult to know how truly widespread the problem is and that even though CrowdStrike has identified an average of two new cases daily last month, it was most probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Facilitators are the one crucial aspect that North Korea’s operations rely on. These are people based in the United States who help bypass security measures by hosting the work laptops that companies send to the fraudulent North Korean IT workers to make it appear as if they’re based in the country. While the job looks like easy money from that start, it would eventually become more complicated as the operation progresses. “They get kind of hooked on it initially, and then more gets asked of them, and they’re kind of in too deep at that point,” Meyers told the publication.

SPLC, FBI, TSA and ANTIFA Colluded Against Illinois Parent After He Fought Porn in Schools — New DOJ Report Ties It to Garland Memo

Biden DoJ sent the FBI to Terry Newsomes home March of 2023 under the false pretense of an investigation of ANTIFA targeting parents. At the time, Newsome didn’t know he was under an FBI investigation.

A Downers Grove, Illinois father who stood up at a school board meeting against the graphic book “Gender Queer” became the target of a tightly timed campaign that moved from an SPLC Hatewatch article written by a Chicago ANTIFA-linked researcher straight into federal action.

FOIA records, TSA documents obtained by Congress, and the sequence of events show that the pattern is not a coincidence. His case fits the broader pattern documented in the Department of Justice’s October 5, 2026 Weaponization Working Group report on the Garland Memorandum, which traced how the Biden Administration pressured DOJ to treat parents objecting to school policies—including explicit materials, CRT, and transgender policies—as potential domestic terrorists

Oops! MS Now Faceplants!… Far Left Loons Report Kash Patel Has Landed in Russia for Mysterious Talks -Except That He’s at Liberty University

MS Now is as dependable today as they always were.

On Wednesday, the far-left network reported that Kash Patel had landed in Russia for mysterious talks.

Top MS Now justice and intelligence reporter Ken Dilanian broke the breathtaking news this afternoon in a MS Now breaking report.

Ken Dilanian: “We don’t know what Kash Patel is doing in Russia. And that’s one of things that is concerning our FBI sources. They don’t know either. The FBI is not saying anything about this. I asked them for a comment on our reporting. They have not gotten back to me. What we know is there’s a two-day trip scheduled. He’s going to Moscow and St. Petersburg… It has not happened since 2018 when Robert Mueller went to Russia to talk about counter-terrorism cooperation.”

But the surprise was on the loons at MS Now.

The FBI this afternoon released photos of Kash Patel at Liberty University.

Unfortunately for MS Now, the FBI posted photos of Director Kash Patel at Liberty University.

FBI Arrests OpenAI Engineer Over a Hidden Listening Device

OpenAI builds technology that answers complicated questions. Yet federal investigators say one of its engineers tried to get answers by secretly listening to executives. The alleged equipment was a recording device plugged into a television inside a restricted conference room in San Francisco.

For a company developing some of America’s most valuable technology, that’s a chilling failure.

From the DOJ:

“According to the complaint unsealed today, Abdulrahman Alfozan allegedly concealed a covert recording device inside his employer’s executive conference room to secretly capture sensitive communications about the company’s super intelligence technology,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Protecting American SI innovation is essential to safeguarding our nation’s economic strength and national security, and the FBI views that mission as one of our highest counterintelligence priorities. Thank you to Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton and our law enforcement partners for their support — and we will continue working closely with our partners across the U.S. government and private sector to keep American businesses and citizens safe and to ensure our country maintains its competitive edge.”

The FBI arrested Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old Saudi national, on October 9. Prosecutors unsealed a criminal complaint Tuesday charging him with using or attempting to use a device to intercept oral communications. He had worked at OpenAI since July 2025. The company has since fired him, and federal investigators are examining his alleged activities.

OpenAI personnel discovered the device on September 30, connected to a USB port behind a television. Someone had concealed it in toilet paper, and its stored contents were encrypted. Investigators believe someone installed it around September 28. The room regularly hosted discussions of proprietary research, future products, business arrangements, government contacts, and technical progress OpenAI hadn’t disclosed publicly.

So the FBI Did Another Big Raid You Might Have Missed…

Did you hear the one about the FBI investigation in the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners that caught one of them with his hand in the cookie jar of his own nonprofit?

It’s no joke, but it’s one of those stories of Democrat corruption that somehow [cough, cough] got lost in the shuffle. Let’s bring a little sunshine to it, shall we?

Three years ago, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott appointed longtime social worker and behavioral-health entrepreneur Mujahid Muhammad to the city’s Board of School Commissioners. His primary organization, KEYS — Keep Encouraging Youth to Succeed — since 2009 purportedly was involved it counseling, youth recreation, senior services, workforce training, and “culinary therapy”—using grocery deliveries and cooking lessons with families needing mental-health support.

KEYS took a kind of unconventional approach I’d usually think was noteworthy for all the right reasons.

Purportedly.

Project Baltimore reported last week that it “has been digging into KEYS Empowers financials and found that in federal filings, KEYS reports paying out over $400,000 in salaries to zero employees.”

Then there’s this from the Baltimore Banner: “A nonprofit called KEYS Empowers Inc. that lists the same address as its headquarters and Muhammad as the executive director reported receiving more than $4.7 million in government funds for the 2023 and 2024 tax years, tax filings show. That money made up the entirety of KEYS Empowers revenue for those years.”

US Seizes 7 Domains Used By China-Linked Hackers To Target Critical Infrastructure

The Justice Department and FBI announced on Oct. 8 that they had seized seven internet domains used by Chinese state-linked hackers to target critical infrastructure and other computer networks in the United States and overseas.

The seizures targeted two hacking tools allegedly operated by cyber actors working for Integrity Technology Group, a Beijing-based cybersecurity company with Chinese regime contracts.

The tools were used to identify security weaknesses, gain unauthorized access to computer networks, and steal information, according to the Justice Department.

In a joint cybersecurity advisory released the same day, U.S. and allied agencies warned that Chinese regime-linked hackers enabled by Integrity Tech had combined automated scanning, large networks of compromised devices, and targeted intrusions to steal sensitive information from organizations worldwide, including U.S. critical infrastructure operators.

A federal magistrate judge in Pennsylvania approved the seizure warrant on Oct. 6, authorizing the domains to be redirected to FBI-controlled servers.

The Justice Department has not announced criminal charges against Integrity Tech or identified individual defendants in connection with the seizures.

The operation marks the second public U.S. disruption of Integrity Tech’s hacking infrastructure in two years.

In September 2024, the FBI dismantled a network of more than 200,000 infected internet-connected devices, including home routers and cameras, that investigators said were used to conduct cyber operations.

However, a newly unsealed FBI affidavit indicates that tools linked to Integrity Tech remained accessible afterward.

Investigators found a server hosting one hacking tool in March 2026 and confirmed that a login page for another was still accessible in September.

“The PRC relies on contractor and enabling companies to expand the reach and scale of its malicious cyber activity,” said Brett Leatherman, assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division, referring to the People’s Republic of China.

“By exposing and disrupting these enablers, we make it harder for the PRC to target American networks and infrastructure.”

Another ISIS Sympathizer in Tim Walz’s Minnesota: FBI Arrests an 18-Year-Old Somali Suspect at Gunpoint After Plotting a Mass-Casualty Attack at Mall of America

Federal agents arrested Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud at gunpoint in the Twin Cities after he allegedly took possession of a rifle and ammunition he intended to use in a terrorist attack at the Mall of America.

According to Alpha News, which covered a U.S. Attorney announcement of a significant counterterrorism action in Minnesota on Wednesday, federal authorities have charged Mohamud with plotting a mass-casualty attack in support of ISIS at the Mall of America later this month. He allegedly hoped to kill “30 to 60 people.”

Reports of the federal case identify Mohamud as an 18-year-old Somali “American.”

The criminal complaint and 23-page affidavit of FBI Special Agent Keegan Rupenthal were unsealed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Minnesota.

Mohamud is charged under 18 U.S.C. § 924(h) with knowingly receiving a firearm and ammunition on or about October 6, 2026, knowing or having reasonable cause to believe they would be used to commit a felony and a federal crime of terrorism, including providing, attempting to provide, and conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.

The weapon listed in the complaint is a Norinco AK-47, model Mac-90 Sporter, serial number 94145360, plus roughly 200 live rounds of 7.62×39 ammunition. The FBI rendered the rifle inert before the handoff. The ammunition was live. He never got the chance to use either.

According to the affidavit, the Minneapolis Joint Terrorism Task Force opened the case in December 2024 after Mohamud began trading hundreds of messages with a confidential human source on Telegram, Signal, Discord, TikTok, and later SimpleX. Handles included “@misterdoon,” “Mister Miser,” “mistermister,” “misterman240,” and a Discord account named “baaqiyah_31485,” “baaqiyah” being an ISIS slogan meaning the caliphate remains.
