A Single Warehouse in Jersey City Moved Over A Thousand Tons of Military Cargo to Israel Every Week

A single warehouse in Jersey City, New Jersey, packaged and transported over a thousand tons of military equipment to Israel every week in the first eight months of 2025, according to a report jointly released today by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) and Progressive International (PI). A network of businesses based in New Jersey uses the privately owned warehouse to inspect, organize, and move military equipment, including Merkava tank parts, F-16 parts, ammunition, military gear, and armored and unarmored vehicles. The equipment is then packaged and delivered to nearby airports and sea ports and sent to Israel, researchers revealed.

The transfer of military gear to Israel is spearheaded by three overlapping Jersey-based companies—Interglobal Forwarding Services (IFS), G&B Packing Company, and G&G Services—which are all seemingly owned and operated by the same people. IFS and G&B serve as contractors with the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD), which works closely with U.S. weapons manufacturers to purchase weapons. IFS primarily handles administrative matters; G&B Packing Company handles, packages, and loads the equipment onto trucks; and G&G Services makes shipments to local ports with its own fleet of trucks.

The PYM and PI’s report documented that 91% of all Israel-bound sea exports of military gear that did not go through a U.S. military base passed through the IFS and the G&B warehouse.

Until now, little has been known about the Jersey-based companies that operate the warehouse and their role transferring U.S. weapons to Israel. The revelation of the warehouse, which serves as a significant pit-stop in the military equipment supply-chain, comes as Israel continues its assault on Gaza, despite a U.S.-brokered “ceasefire.”

Between January and late August 2025, the month when the PYM and PI report was compiled, an average of 878 tons of sea cargo and between 263-525 tons of air cargo passed through the Jersey warehouse weekly, according to the bills of lading tabulated by the researchers. The equipment often travels “from the IFS warehouse to Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal, where they are loaded onto a Maersk vessel on the MECL line, dropped off in Tangier, Morocco, and picked up by another Maersk vessel on the Med Loop C to be taken to Haifa,” researchers found.

The majority of the shipments are for tank and armored vehicles. In addition to shipments to the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD), IFS handles packages for private Israeli military companies, including Rafael Advanced Systems and the Israeli Military Industries (IMI). One 2025 shipment to IMI contained “340 tons of rifle ammunition,” researchers calculated. The warehouse is “the default location for any export of military goods to Israel,” researchers claim. In one Israeli government document, the IMOD requires companies to label cargo with G&B Packing’s address.

As recently as November 6, G&B Packing was listed as a point of contact for shipments to the IMOD in a U.S. government contract bid that is open for moving “unclassified spare parts in support of C-130, T-6, F-15, and F-16 aircraft” until February 2026, according to federal contracting data reviewed by Drop Site.

New Jersey Governor’s Special Election Trick Is ‘Blatant Political Corruption’

As legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi was fond of saying, winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing. Lombardi didn’t invent that declaration of excellence, nor did he believe that everything included rigging the rules to one team’s advantage. 

The Democratic Party on the other hand has taken the mantra to mean doing everything — and anything — to win. Victory at all costs includes rigging primary timelines to benefit the preferred candidates of party bosses, Republicans allege. 

Special Leftists

While most pols have turned the page from this month’s blue state liberal wins to next year’s pivotal midterms, there’s still some electoral business to finish before the close of 2025. 

Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District is in the homestretch of a special election slated for Tuesday. The race pits Republican and military vet Matt Van Epps against state Rep. Aftyn Behn, a Nashville Democrat, to fill the seat vacated by former Rep. Mark Green. 

Van Epps is running with the endorsement of President Donald Trump, who won the sprawling congressional district by more than 22 percentage points last year. Behn, known as the “AOC of Tennessee” in no small part because of her stated belief that men can have babies, has the backing of a long list of big-name leftists.

And then there’s New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District special election to fill the seat vacated by Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill by virtue of her victory earlier this month in the Garden State’s gubernatorial race. Following Sherrill’s resignation from the congressional seat she’s held for nearly seven years, outgoing New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy set a rather hasty special election timeline.

New Jersey Governor-Elect Mikie Sherill Threatens to Withhold Federal Taxes to Resist Trump

The incoming governor of New Jersey is threatening to withhold federal taxes from the Trump administration.

In an interview with comedian Jon Stewart, Mikie Sherill said she had thought about witholding tax dollars “all the time” and concluded that is “great idea.”

“If they’re not gonna run the programs, then what are we paying them for?” she said.

“It’s like, you know, you’re paying us for a service and they’re not delivering. So let’s stop paying for it.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom has also floated withholding tax dollars, but this turned out to be an empty threat.

“We’re assessing it, we have looked into it, and Finance is looking across the spectrum of options,” he said in an interview with Politico back in June.

“But it’s limited, because most of that distribution and transfer comes from individual taxpayers,” he continued.

A former New Jersey mayor was arrested and charged for sexual assault of a minor he met on social media.

Andrew LaBruno, the former Democrat mayor of Dumont and current Jersey City police sergeant started chatting with a juvenile online and made plans to meet up.

According to prosecutors, LaBruno sprayed and unknown substance into his hand and covered the minor victim’s mouth and nose, causing them to become dizzy.

LaBruno was arrested on Monday and charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child, NorthJersey.com reported.

Democrat NJ Prosecutor Declines Criminal Charges on Individual Involved in Vile Texting Attack of MAGA Mom

The Gateway Pundit reported on vile texts that emerged during a New Jersey School Board race that targeted a MAGA mom.

Local police were ready to press charges; however, the Democrat county prosecutor declined to take the case.  The left’s “protect all women” once again shows they do not include conservative women in their empty pledge.

The New York Post reports that the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office determined the vile behavior did not “meet the threshold of criminal activity.”

Mom of three Danielle Bellomo was the subject of a disturbing group chat labeled “This Bitch Needs to Die,” and during one public board meeting, a member was caught on camera texting, “Bellomo must be cold — her nips could cut glass right n.”

Photos of texts from Scott Semaya, a New Jersey school board candidate in Marlboro, were leaked on social media.

The texts contained disturbing and sexual content about conservative mom and school board member Bellomo, who is also running for county clerk.

The texts, sent during a July 22nd Marlboro Township Public School Board of Education meeting, were seen by a former BOE member seated behind Semaya.

The former member, concerned by what they saw, took photos of the messages.

Demonic Possession? Cops Say It Was Like ‘Third Person’ Present as They Questioned Woman Who Stabbed Toddler in Chest After Musing Over Human Sacrifices

Was it a case of demonic possession?

That’s what has many people wondering after a young woman was arrested following what police say was a case of attempted human sacrifice in New Jersey.

According to multiple reports, 20-year-old Marlene Rodriguez of Brick Township, New Jersey, brought up human sacrifice with her cousin just hours before she allegedly stabbed her brother multiple times.

She’s now charged with attempted murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and endangering the welfare of a child, according to Patch.com.

The New York Post reported that not only did Rodriguez tell police that voices instructed her to do it, but that she started talking as if a third person was telling her not to tell police what happened.

The attack happened on Nov. 1. According to documents filed by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, Brick Township police were called to a home at just before 2:30 p.m. that day to find a 2-year-old boy who had been stabbed in the chest.

He was conscious and alert at the time of the arrival and was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

He was in stable condition as of Nov. 8, with both a punctured lung and a cut wall to his heart.

“At the scene, police learned Rodriguez had stabbed the boy, and after reading her rights to her, she told police she had stabbed her brother,” Patch reported.

“During interviews at police headquarters, detectives spoke with Rodriguez’s cousin, who told them about the conversation earlier in the day. The cousin said Rodriguez asked her if she had ever sacrificed anyone, and if so, who. The cousin said she replied by asking Rodriguez if she had sacrificed anyone, and Rodriguez did not answer.”

Then, not long afterwards, Rodriguez’s sister heard the 2-year-old crying and saw the injuries, with a knife on the floor next to him.

Judge Denies Rep. McIver’s Motions to Dismiss Assault Charges

A federal judge denied a request by Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) on Thursday to toss out charges filed against her for allegedly assaulting federal agents outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center in New Jersey earlier this year.

U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper found the congresswoman failed to show the prosecution was vindictive and that her actions were “wholly disconnected” from the oversight she claims she was conducting as a member of Congress.

McIver asked the judge to dismiss the case because her visit to Newark’s Delaney Hall immigration detention center on May 9 was protected by constitutional legislative immunity.

The New Jersey representative claims she was targeted by the Trump administration for “doing her job” by holding the administration accountable.

“We all know why this is happening,” McIver said outside the courtroom on Oct. 21. “I’m clear why this is happening: It’s because I was doing my job and I continue to do so.”

McIver did not return a request for comment about Thursday’s decision by the time of publication.

New Jersey’s Past Election Integrity Problems Demand Federal Oversight In Governor’s Race

As federal election monitors arrive in California and New Jersey ahead of Tuesday’s elections, Democrats are screaming, “voter intimidation!” 

“It’s a preview of things to come, part of the rigging, part of the voter suppression,” California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, in the running for America’s slimiest politician, said last week. “It’s exactly why the National Guard were federalized through Election Day.”

California voters head the the polls to decide the fate of Proposition 50, a Newsom-led redistricting initiative that would give more congressional seats to Democrats and disenfranchise Republican voters. The representative democracy deniers want to jettison the political maps drawn up by an independent commission and replace them with a politically-twisted gerrymander. Remember that when Democrats bloviate about “voter suppression.” 

Virginia and New Jersey will hold state elections featuring bruising executive branch races. 

“Our State is committed to ensuring a free, fair, and secure election, and we will not allow anyone to interfere with or disrupt our elections,” leftist New Jersey Attorney General Matt  Platkin declared after the Department of Justice announced it would deploy monitors in Passaic County, N.J., and at polling sites in five counties in California. 

The Democrats’ spin, in the words of Col. Sherman T. Potter, is a bunch of horse hockey. It’s more of the “fascism” prattle from the party that has helped lead a soft coup against a duly elected president for more than eight years. 

There’s nothing new about the deployment of federal election monitors. The two buffoons in California and New Jersey certainly didn’t express any concerns last year when President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice announced it would send scores of election monitors into 86 jurisdictions across 26 states — including California and New Jersey. 

Leftist “voter rights” groups and their press messengers love federal monitors, just not when they’re sent out to make sure liberal partisan elections officials are playing by the rules.

But New Jersey’s attorney general insists the same actions by President Donald Trump’s DOJ are “highly inappropriate.” Platkin puffed to USA Today that his office would be considering all of its options “to prevent any effort to intimidate voters or interfere with our elections.”

The Jersey Democrat Machine appointee likes to gloss over Passaic County’s history of election integrity failures and election law abuses.

Henry Family Saves 175-Year-Old New Jersey Farm From Government Seizure

For nearly two centuries, the Henry family has worked the same soil in Bedminster, New Jersey — a 175-year-old farm passed from one generation to the next. But earlier this year, their heritage came under attack. Local officials, invoking the state’s “affordable housing” laws, sought to seize part of the Henrys’ land through legal maneuvering that would have handed it to developers.

The battle lasted months. It was draining, personal, and emblematic of a deeper national struggle between individual liberty and government overreach. At its heart was a simple question: do Americans still have the right to protect their property from the encroaching power of the state?

The Henrys said yes — and refused to back down.

Bedminster Township officials claimed the family’s land was needed to satisfy New Jersey’s affordable housing requirements, part of the state’s “Mount Laurel doctrine,” which forces municipalities to set aside areas for low- and moderate-income housing. In practice, that mandate often translates to deals between town governments and private developers — deals that profit politically connected insiders while displacing long-time property owners.

For the Henrys, compliance wasn’t an option. The farm had been in the family since before the Civil War, and to lose it to bureaucratic manipulation would have been a betrayal of everything their ancestors built. “This isn’t just land,” patriarch John Henry said. “It’s our home, our history, and our future. We weren’t going to let the government take that away.”

The family took their fight to court, arguing that the township’s actions amounted to an unconstitutional land grab disguised as “public good.” Their legal team showed that the town’s plan violated both the spirit and the letter of eminent domain law — which allows government to take private property only for legitimate public use, not for private development masked as social policy.

After months of hearings, the judge ruled in favor of the Henry family, halting the township’s attempt to rezone and seize the property. It was a rare victory for ordinary citizens in an era when small landowners are routinely bulldozed by regulation and corporate collusion.

The case may have unfolded in a quiet corner of New Jersey, but its implications stretch nationwide. Across the country, similar battles are erupting as state and local governments exploit “housing equity,” “green energy,” and “climate resilience” initiatives to justify taking or restricting private land. What happened in Bedminster is a warning: government power, once expanded, rarely retreats — unless citizens are willing to fight back.

The Henrys did just that. Their courage reaffirms a truth that runs deeper than politics — that freedom is inseparable from property. The ability to own, cultivate, and preserve what one’s family has built is not a mere privilege; it is a cornerstone of self-government and human dignity.

Their victory isn’t only about acres of farmland. It’s about preserving a way of life rooted in responsibility, faith, and independence — values that have long defined America’s heartland and are increasingly under assault by bureaucrats who see people as obstacles to policy.

Democrats Cry ‘Voter Intimidation’ as DOJ Deploys Election Monitors to California, New Jersey

The Department of Justice announced Friday it will send election monitors to polling locations across California and New Jersey for the upcoming November 4 general election, citing efforts to ensure transparency and compliance with federal voting laws.

According to a Justice Department press release, monitors from the Civil Rights Division will be present in six jurisdictions—Passaic County, New Jersey; and California’s Kern, Riverside, Fresno, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said the initiative is meant to “uphold the highest standards of election integrity” and guarantee that “the American people get the fair, free, and transparent elections they deserve.”

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon stated that “Transparent election processes and election monitoring are critical tools for safeguarding our elections and ensuring public trust in the integrity of our elections.” Acting U.S. Attorney  affirmed his office would “work tirelessly to uphold and protect the integrity of the election process,” while Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba added that “Election protection means making sure every eligible voter can participate freely and every lawful vote is counted.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom sharply condemned the announcement in a video message, claiming the Trump administration had “no basis” to send monitors into California polling sites. “This is about voter intimidation. This is about voter suppression, period, full stop,” Newsom declared. He accused federal officials of creating “a chill” through the “federalization of the National Guard” and portrayed the move as similar to “masked men” from ICE or Border Patrol appearing near voting locations. “They do not believe in fair and free elections,” Newsom continued. “Our republic, our democracy, is on the line.”

In a series of posts on X, Newsom wrote, “Donald Trump’s puppet DOJ has no business screwing around with next month’s election,” and called the move “a deliberate attempt to scare off voters and undermine a fair election.” He also asserted, “Trump is sending the DOJ to California to ‘monitor’ the election. His intentions are clear — he wants to suppress the vote. And when we win, he will falsely lay claim to fraud. We will not be intimidated.”
