UNCC official ‘no longer employed’ after being caught on video saying she covertly pushes DEI

A University of North Carolina Charlotte administrator who was secretly recorded admitting to finding ways to advance diversity, equity and inclusion ideology despite a ban on the ideology is no longer employed.

Accuracy in Media released a video of Janique Sanders on May 28 telling undercover journalists she and other university officials have “renamed,” “reorganized” and “recalibrated” to continue pushing DEI ideology.

Her comments seemed to contrast with a one-year-old University of North Carolina Board of Governors ban on DEI offices and programs systemwide.

“If you’re looking for an outward DEI position, it’s not going to happen,” she said on the edited video. “But if you are interested in doing work that is covert, there are opportunities.”

In a statement to The College Fix on Wednesday, UNCC’s spokesperson Christy Jackson said the “employee’s statements were inaccurate and do not reflect the University’s actions.”

“…The individual featured in the video had no policymaking authority, no role in compliance matters and was not authorized to speak on these issues. Following an internal review, the individual is no longer employed by UNC Charlotte,” Jackson said via email.

UK Leads Global Push For Notification Data Requests

Back in 2023, we reported on how US agencies have used push notification metadata on smartphones for surveillance, pressuring tech companies like Apple and Google to hand over user information. Prompted by Senator Ron Wyden’s inquiry, Apple revealed it had been legally barred from disclosing this practice, which raises serious concerns about civil liberties and government overreach.

Cut to today and government demands for user information tied to Apple’s push notification system continued into the first half of 2024, with the United Kingdom submitting 141 requests, despite the nation’s relatively small size, and the United States following with 129.

Germany also obtained data during this period. Singapore, despite making inquiries, received none. These figures come from Apple’s most recent transparency report, shedding light on global government interest in a lesser-known surveillance vector.

Even some privacy apps can be undermined by surveillance at the push notification level. Many apps have to rely on Apple or Google to deliver notifications; services that can expose critical metadata such as which app sent the notification, when it was sent, and how often.

This metadata can be used by governments to infer user activity, and social connections, and even de-anonymize users. It bypasses app-level encryption entirely, exploiting a layer outside the user’s or developer’s control.

Apple’s report outlines what’s at stake with these requests. When someone enables notifications for an app, the system generates a “push token” that links the device and app to a specific Apple account.

North Carolina University Dean Ousted After Admitting to Secretive DEI Push

University of North Carolina Asheville Dean of Students Megan Pugh has been removed after admitting to secretly pushing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.

“I mean we probably still do anyway… but you gotta keep it quiet,” Pugh told an undercover journalist in a video released by Accuracy in Media.

“I love breaking rules,” the university dean said.

Pugh’s comments follow after the North Carolina System Board of Governor voted to virtually ban controversial DEI practices and pivot to “institutional neutrality.”

The video also shows Pugh agreeing when asked if “breaking rules” is “why y’all kind of spread it out and stuff?”

“Part of it is that, part of it is just because we don’t have a dedicated office for it anymore, it’s easier to maintain,” she admitted.

“Until more or less they get mad at us, but they haven’t done it yet,” she continued.

She responded affirmatively when asked if the school administration was generally supportive of the ways that DEI is still being implemented at the university.

A UNC Asheville spokesperson said the school is “aware of a video in which an employee makes comments implying that the University does not comply with UNC System policies or legal requirements and supports employees disregarding such obligations.”

“These remarks do not represent the practices of UNC Asheville. The University remains firmly committed to upholding all UNC System policies as well as federal and state laws, both in principle and in practice,” the statement continued.

OMG: “Parents Don’t Need to Know That You’re Transitioning” – Nevada DHHS Official Admits to Hiding Castration Surgeries From Parents

The O’Keefe Media Group on Friday released part two of its undercover footage of Nevada DHHS Official Deshaun Mack admitting to ‘bending the rules’ to get Medicare to pay for transition surgeries for minors.

Deshaun Mack admitted he helps transition children and hide the castration surgeries from parents. He also said he uses a loophole to get Medicare to pay for the transition surgeries.

Per O’Keefe Media Group:

Deshaun Eli Mack, a Family Services Specialist with the Nevada DHHS, told an undercover OMG journalist that not only has he helped children transition, but he has done it “a few times, actually. Actually, a lot of times,” adding, “I don’t see as many as I would enjoy seeing.”

Mack described helping a biological male pursue so-called feminization surgery. “She had specifically asked me about feminization surgery,” he recalled, explaining the advice he gave: “I told her the best way to get it would be to make sure that your doctor says that it’s medically necessary. So that medicare pays for it.”

When asked about what happens if a child’s parents don’t approve of the transition or don’t know about it, Mack made it clear: “We do not actually tell anyone.” He elaborated further, stating, “I can’t even tell you that your child is receiving benefits. Because you’re not on that case.” According to Mack, “The parents don’t need to know that you’re transitioning. You can just go to the doctor.”

Even more disturbing, Mack openly admitted to abusing the state’s “runaway youth” provision to bypass parental consent. “At that point, I would just shoot them as a runaway youth,” he said.

He further explained the mechanics of how the system can be manipulated: “We can approve the benefits for the child by themselves. Or we can pull them off their parent’s case.” He added that this practice doesn’t alert other state agencies either: “I don’t even think in that circumstance we let our sister agency, DCFS, Division of Child Care and Family Services, I don’t even think we alert them at that point.”

“I can’t even tell you that your child is receiving benefits. Because you’re not on that case.” Mack told the OMG journalist. “The parents don’t need to know that you’re transitioning. You can just go to the doctor.”

Bongino, Patel Discover ‘Stunning’ Comey-Era Files in Room ‘Hidden From Us’ at FBI HQ.

Deputy Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Dan Bongino dropped a bombshell on May 29, 2025, revealing the discovery of a secret room at FBI headquarters packed with evidence from multiple cases, concealed during James Comey’s tenure as director. Referring to himself and FBI Director Kash Patel, a fellow Trump appointee, Bongino said the trove was “hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us.”

“There was a room, and we found a lot of stuff,” Bongino said. “We found stuff in there, and a lot of it’s from the Comey era.” The evidence, some of which was described as being “in bags hiding under James Comey,” spans multiple investigations, though Bongino did not specify which. The revelation comes amid heightened scrutiny of Comey, who has been accused of mishandling investigations and was recently investigated by the Secret Service for an Instagram post interpreted as a threat against Trump.

Bongino emphasized the FBI’s efforts to declassify the findings, acknowledging public frustration with the pace. “We are working our damnedest right now to declassify. I totally understand people saying, ‘Well, do it now.’ The process is, not all the information is ours to declassify,” he said, explaining that some of it belongs to other agencies. However, he stressed that, “Once that [process] gets done and [the information] gets out there… You’re going to be stunned.”

Comey’s tenure as FBI director from 2013 to 2017 was marred by controversy, including his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation and his role in facilitating the discredited Russiagate probe, which consumed much of Trump’s first term. Recently, Comey faced backlash for an Instagram post showing “86 47” spelled out in seashells, interpreted as a call to “86” or “kill” Trump, the 47th president.

GOP Senator Calls For Investigation Into $4.7 Trillion In ‘Untraceable’ Treasury Payments

In February, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered $4.7 trillion in payments made by the US Treasury that are “almost impossible” to trace – as Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) identification codes were optional in the system. This left billions in payments blank and unable to be traced.

“Of the 1.5 billion payments that we send out every year, they are required to have a TAS, a Treasury Account Symbol. We discovered that more than one third of those payments did not have a TAS number,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services earlier this month.

“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible,” DOGE announced via its X account. Thanks to DOGE, those “optional” days are over. “…this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going,” DOGE added. 

So while the TAS field is now mandatory, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has called for an investigation into where the untraceable payments have been going.

“There’s so much waste. There’s so much fraud, There’s so much abuse in our government,” Schmitt told Fox News. “I’m glad there was a laser-like focus on it. We ought to make many of those reforms permanent, but there probably ought to be some investigations here about where this money actually went. I mean this is taxpayer money. People work hard.”

In March. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) introduced a bill – the LEDGER Act – requiring the Treasury Department to track all payments.

Gadhafi’s ‘Missing Billions’ Stashed in US and Southern Africa, Officials Say

Billions of dollars stolen by former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi are hidden in clandestine bank accounts and secret vaults in the United States and two southern African countries, say intelligence operatives and financial investigators.

The latest news was first reported by online magazine, Africa Confidential, on May 9.

According to the report, Libya’s Asset and Management Recovery Office says at least $50 billion in oil revenues pillaged by Gadhafi between 1994 until his murder in 2011 were invested in “debt instruments”—including treasury bonds—using front companies, nominees, and banks that routed the money via Europe to the United States.

Separately, intelligence agents and a former top government official in Pretoria told The Epoch Times about $20 billion stolen by Gadhafi is spread across banks in South Africa.

They added that $30 million in cash flown by Gadhafi to South Africa in the months before his execution by rebels is now hidden in Eswatini—the small kingdom neighboring South Africa and the continent’s last absolute monarchy that was formerly called Swaziland.

The man leading the hunt for Libya’s missing public funds, Asset and Management Recovery Office Director-General Mohammed al-Mensli, confirmed that hundreds of billions of dollars were stolen during Gadhafi’s brutal military rule.

Vicious FBI Agents Accused of Terrorizing Innocent J6 Families and Harassing Children Sue to Keep Their Identities Hidden

In 2023 The Gateway Pundit published the shocking story of Chris and In Annette Kuehne.

Chris Kuehne is a 22-year veteran who received numerous medals and awards, including the Purple Heart, a Navy Commendation Medal with Valor, and a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with Valor for actions in combat.

On January 6, 2021, Chris went inside the Capitol but did not cause any harm or damage – in fact he cleaned trash off the floor, helped to stop theft of government property, asked people to leave the building, and went up to Capitol Police Officers to ask how he could help. Chris was also set-up by an FBI operative that day. Chris committed no violence and did nothing wrong.

One month later, in the early morning of February 11, 2021 Chris, his four-year-old child, and his wife Annette, who was pregnant at the time were awakened to sirens, cell phone rings, and bursts of colorful lights reflecting through our windows.

Annette later went public about the raid, “The FBI instructed Chris to come outside immediately. Our 4-year-old was awakened from the chaos, and I picked him up and ran downstairs to open the front door. Our house, street and neighboring streets were completely surrounded by armed FBI and law enforcement. It was a scene that we see so many times in the movies, but now it was here at my house! There were three large armored tactical vehicles parked on my front, side and back yard, and police vehicles that extended throughout the entire community. I open the door, and for a second, I didn’t realize that there were about twenty FBI SWAT Team members with semi-automatic rifles pointed at my son and I. We were covered by the bright red lasers pointed at our faces, chests, and various points on our bodies.”

Why Is The Secret German Spy Report On The AfD Party Only Filled With Public Statements?

The German domestic spy service, the Office of the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), has released a 1,100-page report on the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which it used to label the party a “confirmed” right-wing extremist party. The report is huge and reads like it was written by Antifa, but that was to be expected. However, one interesting point is that it contains only public statements, including quotes made by AfD politicians and a lot of memes.

Why is that?

We already know that the BfV is secretly surveilling AfD members in certain German states, mostly in the east, where the party is “confirmed right-wing extremist” already. This designation allows for the BfV in those states to partake in extraordinary surveillance powers over AfD members, including reading their chats and emails. Presumably, they can also track their browsing history, and perhaps they are even listening in on their conversations at home.

What this means is that the BfV has plenty of statements, memes and content to use based on private statements, but it is purposefully choosing not to use them. After all, a certain number of those AfD members, in private moments, probably also express opinions, post memes, or share thoughts that the BfV would love to include in a secret report on the party, which many hope will eventually justify an outright ban.

Again, why is the BfV not using these private statements?

There are multiple reasons.

For one, a big part of the apparatus of spy agencies is to obtain information, but not release it to the public. The public may not be able to stomach such personal and private information and the means that were used to obtain it. Since the Edward Snowden revelations, and even before then, we have become acutely aware that we have accepted devices into our lives and homes that can be used to spy on us on a scale never seen before in history. However, even now — even after all this information has been revealed — I believe nearly all of us still cannot quite grasp what this means — nor do we want to.

Yes, we know that AfD members are being spied on across Germany. Their emails are read, their phone calls are recorded. AI is being used to sort out keywords of interest to the security services. However, nobody really knows how this information is being processed and what it is being used for, or even who is reading it. The spies who control this information have extraordinary power. As a significant portion of them are now far left, at least in Germany, they believe they are acting as a bulwark against the rise of Nazism, and the ends justify the means when it comes to the AfD. There are other psychological motives at work, of course, as spy agencies are on the whole very good at keeping their secrets, not even necessarily because of internal controls, but because the spies are dedicated to their mission. There is, also, the sense of power that comes with being the watcher, and for many spies, this is a powerful intoxicant. They know, while you are in the dark.

Pfizergate: Top European Court Slams Corrupt Globalist EU Chief Von der Leyen in Bombshell Ruling Over Secret Covid-19 Vaccine Procurement Texts

In a ruling that’s shaken the corrupt foundations of the European Union, the EU’s top court has declared that Commission President Ursula von der Leyen broke transparency rules by hiding secret text messages she exchanged with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla—just as the EU was locking itself into the biggest vaccine deal in its history.

The judgment, handed down by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), exposes a damning breach of public trust and fuels the growing outcry over what critics have dubbed “Pfizergate”—a scandal that underscores everything wrong with the unaccountable EU bureaucracy, Big Pharma’s grip on policy, and von der Leyen’s corrupt, authoritarian style of rule.
