Let’s talk about…the Bondi Beach attack

Earlier today, two gunmen allegedly opened fire on attendees of a Chanukah by the Sea event on Bondi Beach in Sydney.

So far, authorities have claimed 12 people are dead, eleven civilians and one gunman, with a further twenty nine in hospital, includ8ng the second alleged gunman.

One suspect has been named as Naveed Akram, a 24 year old living in Sydney. Authorities also claim to have discovered an “explosive device” in a car “linked to” the attacker.

It’s only been a few hours, but the Independent has a personal opinion piece headlined:

Bondi was my safe haven – after today, Australia will never be the same

This is a common sentiment. Surprisingly common.

That feels like narrative talking point to me. But, assuming this is psy-op on some level, what might the final aim be?

It can’t be guns, because Australia’s guns are long gone.

If it’s about anti-Muslim sentiment, it’s a finely modulated game since one of the heroes of the hour is also a Muslim immigrant.

Sweden’s Princess Sofia is caught up in Jeffrey Epstein scandal as royal family admit the former lingerie model met the paedophile billionaire several times before marrying prince

Sweden‘s Princess Sofia has been caught up in the scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein after her family revealed the former lingerie model met the paedophile billionaire several times before marrying the country’s prince.

Before exchanging vows with Prince Carl Philip in 2015 and becoming princess of Sweden, Sofia Hellqvist was a reality television star, glamour model and a regular face on the New York party circuit.

The royal family has now disclosed that the princess met with the disgraced financier multiple times in 2005.

At one point, Epstein sent an invitation offering for the princess to visit him on his private island in the Caribbean, according to leaked emails published by the nonprofit site ddosecrets.com and reported in Swedish outlet Dagens Nyheter.

Epstein also offered the princess and her friend places at acting school, the newspaper claimed.

The pair were introduced several times by a Swedish businesswoman, Princess Sofia’s mentor, according to the outlet, who later attended her wedding.

The princess, now 41, worked as a topless model and a yoga instructor and helped to set up a charity before she married Carl Philip, 46, who is third in line to the throne.

‘This is Sofia, an aspiring actress who just arrived in New York. She’s the girl I told you about before I left, who I thought you might like to meet. Maybe we can visit before you go on holiday?’, the businesswoman allegedly wrote in an email to Epstein on December 18, 2005.

She also linked to a photograph of the then 21-year-old model.

‘I’m in the Caribbean. Does she want to come for a couple of days? I’ll send a ticket,’ replied billionaire Epstein, who three years later would be convicted in a state court in Florida for procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute.

According to the family, the princess did not accept the invitation to Epstein’s infamous US Virgin Islands home called Little St James, where multiple young women including the late Virginia Giuffre have alleged that they were trafficked and abused. 

They did not disclose where, how, or why the princess ever met Epstein.

Was The J6 “Insurrection” A Government-Sponsored Seditious Conspiracy?

Cold Case Heats Up

“[The current FBI] was competent at cracking the case; [Christopher Wray’s] was competent at corruption and obstructing it.”

– Mike Benz

Do you have any idea what tapestry of corruption and crime is attached to the little thread of the J6 / DNC / RNC pipe bomber suspect arrested yesterday by the FBI? Consider this: suspect Brian Cole, Jr., is alive and probably talking, unlike, say, Jeffrey Epstein and Thomas Matthew Crooks in other matters of public interest. Let’s hope he is under FBI protection in custody, lest something. . . say. . . happen to him.

As of early this morning, the country knows next to nothing else about Cole and what he was up to the night of Jan. 5, 2021.

The FBI has not even said how he is employed. But his photo shows a young man dressed for office work. . . he lives in a nice house in the DC suburbs of Virginia. . .and you might infer that he is, possibly, a federal government worker. Oh, and the FBI was unable to catch him through the whole four years of “Joe Biden?”

You can suppose at this point that the story of that four-year botched investigation will be a way bigger thing than the pipe bomber’s little prank itself.

It probably leads to the story of wholesale corruption in Christopher Wray’s FBI, and even more consequentially, to the realization that the so-called J6, 2021 “insurrection” was a government op from top to bottom, aimed at eradicating Trump and Trumpism.

First, what was supposed to happen in a joint session of Congress that day?

Answer: certification of electoral college votes in the 2020 election. What else was liable to happen that day? Answer: under the Electoral Count Act of 1887 (3 U.S.C. §§ 5–6, 15–18) — as amended, and by the rules laid out in the U.S. Constitution (Article II and the 12th Amendment) — objections to several states’ slates of electors were expected to be entertained, triggering debate and possible rejection of those states’ electors on the basis that the votes were not “lawfully certified” (under 3 U.S.C. § 6), or not “regularly given” (meaning the vote was marred by fraud, corruption, or violence). Any state’s electoral votes could be rejected if both the House and Senate voted by simple majority, after up to two hours of separate debate.

At mid-day, objections meeting the written requirement (one House member + one Senator) were filed for Arizona and Pennsylvania. The objection to the Arizona vote (Rep. Paul Gosar + Sen. Ted Cruz) was the first scheduled to be debated shortly after 1:00 p.m. It was not allowed to happen. Instead, Congress evacuated the chamber. When Congress returned at 8:00 p.m., votes objecting to Arizona and Pennsylvania slates failed and no others were taken up. Senators who previously had committed to debating the votes of several other swing states demurred, citing the breach of demonstrators into the Capitol. The full tally concluded at 3:44 in the morning, Jan 7, “Joe Biden” and Kamala Harris were certified as winners of the 2020 election.

Here are some things to know about the pipe bomb subplot in the J-6 story.

Kamala Harris, vice president-elect, still a sitting Senator (CA), was not in the chamber for the certification process. She arrived at the DNC headquarters some blocks away from the Capitol by motorcade at 11:30 a.m. and stayed until she was evacuated from the DNC at 1:14 p.m. Couple of questions about that? 1) did she not want to be present in the chamber at the momentous instant that her election as veep was certified? 2) Did she not have a duty to be present for voting on any of the procedure? Weird, a little bit. She has never explained what she was doing at the DNC that day.

Kamala Harris was in the DNC building when the pipe bomb was discovered there, around 1:07 p.m. The pipe bomb at the RNC had been discovered some 20 minutes prior, and it was the discovery of that bomb, at 12:44 p.m. that prompted the evacuation of the joint House / Senate session in Congress, not any breach of the Capitol building, which did not occur until 2:13, p.m., more than an hour later.

“Got To Be CIA Front”: Internet Sleuths Scour Web For Clues On DC Afghan Shooter

The ex-CIA-linked Afghan national who killed one National Guard soldier and critically injured another just blocks from the White House has set off alarm bells across the nation and in national security circles.

The attack – likely soon to be designated as terrorism – highlights how nation-killing open borders, reckless Afghan intake policies, and broader migrant inflows from hellish third worlds, combined with the Democratic Party’s suicidal empathy, have worked in unison to flood the country with tens of millions of poorly vetted people.

Former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams has repeatedly warned about this threat: individuals with prior militant training or hostile intent have flooded the nation through these migrant inbound intake pipelines during the Biden-Harris regime years.

FBI Director Kash Patel has stated that Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal’s brutal attack in DC earlier this week, which horrified the nation, is being investigated as an act of terrorism.

FBI Admits Its Custody of Crooks’ Body on AGR Building Roof All Night

Kash Patel and Danny Bongino, the number one and two at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have, for the second time, gone public with the agency’s conclusion that the alleged Butler, PA shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was the lone shooter. Okay. But they refuse to release the FBI investigation of the attempted assassination and that’s a problem for a number of reasons.

First, despite numerous investigations, including a Congressional Task Force, a Secret Service investigation, a Senate Investigation, the Pennsylvania State Police and others, none have provided any information about how the alleged shooter, who “acted alone,” was identified on the AGR Building.

Recall that the alleged shooter’s body lay on the AGR Building roof all night until 6:30a.m. the following morning. Then, when the Butler County Coroner, William Young III, finally was allowed to go on the roof and conduct his death investigation and identification of the body, it’s anyone’s guess which law enforcement agency had custody of the body all night…until now.

Coroner Young has never made public his investigative notes about how he identified the body – the method – and why he was turned away at midnight when he first tried to make identification of the body and told to return the following day. Who gave Young those orders?  More importantly it’s odd that the body would lie on the roof all night.

Does the public trust that there wasn’t any funny business going on? Would Patel and Bongino believe that there wasn’t any funny business? It must be said that even Patel and Bongino in their former lives, who questioned every single FBI investigation, would have been having conniptions about this odd turn of events. Afterall, it isn’t every day that the dead body of a would-be presidential assassin is left at the crime scene all night.

Then, of course, there is the fact that Patel and Bongino provided this “exclusive update” to an unknown Fox News podcaster? Yep, Brooke Singman got the scoop, despite many others who could have actually asked legitimate questions about the FBI investigation. People like Miranda Devine of the New York Post who just last week outed the FBI for failing to report on the alleged shooter Crooks’s online presence. Of course, if you don’t want to have any serious questions asked Singman is the way to go.

Some evidence appears to be missing in Charlie Kirk murder case: Report

Apublic records request with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office found that video footage of alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson turning himself in no longer exists, a Utah news outlet reported Wednesday. 

Kirk, who is remembered for his staunch Christian faith and for founding the conservative grassroots organization Turning Point USA, was assassinated at a rally in Utah in September. Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder, two counts of obstruction of justice, witness tampering and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child for Kirk’s death.

Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby told KUTV 2 News that Robinson was taken to his office days after the shooting, where he was greeted by two plainclothes detectives. But a public records request found that video showing Robinson entering the Washington County Jail and holding area no longer exists. 

“We do not have any records responsive to this portion of the request, as Tyler Robinson did not go to or enter the jail area,” a records officer with the sheriff’s office told the outlet. 

The outlet then filed another request a few weeks later that more broadly requested footage of Robinson walking into the department, which the sheriff’s office again said it did not have. 

“Our office does not have any applicable records responsive to this request, as the surveillance footage is no longer available after the 30-day retention period,” the officer said.

When asked whether the footage was ever shared with another law enforcement agency or department, the office said, “It is my understanding it was never sent out to any agency.”

Criminal defense attorney Rudy Bautista told the outlet that the office not having the footage was “concerning.” 

“For the state of Utah, we would certainly hope that this video is available,” Bautista said. “If, in fact, it has been destroyed and not preserved, it’s very concerning. And if it has, then it’s very concerning that they’re telling you they don’t have it. If they no longer have it, I would have expected to say that this video has been provided to the Utah County law enforcement.”

Former Aide to GOP Rep. Van Drew Charged for Faking Bizarre, Violent Political Attack

A former aide to GOP New Jersey Congressman Jeff Van Drew was charged with faking a bizarre political attack.

26-year-old Natalie Greene and a co-conspirator faked an elaborate attack and claimed three men, one armed with a gun, hog-tied Greene, sliced her body and face and wrote ‘TRUMP WHORE’ on her stomach.

According to prosecutors, 26-year-old Natalie Greene hired a body modification artist to deliberately cut lacerations on her face and body

Greene was charged with one count of conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and one count of making false statements to federal law enforcement.

She is facing up to 10 years in prison for the hoax.

Per the DOJ:

“Late at night on July 23, 2025, Greene’s co-conspirator called 911 and reported that she and Greene had been attacked by three men when they were out walking on a trail at a nature preserve in Egg Harbor Township,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey said. “According to the co-conspirator, during the attack, the men had called Greene by name and had specifically referenced her employment with Federal Official 1, an official whose identity is known to the Government.”

“When law enforcement officers located Greene, she was lying in a wooded area just off the trail, with her hands and feet bound together with black zip ties. Greene’s shirt was pulled over her head and was also tied with a black zip tie,” the DOJ said. “Greene had numerous lacerations on her face, neck, upper chest, and shoulder.

The words ‘TRUMP WHORE’ were written on her stomach and the words ‘[Federal Official 1] IS RACIST’ were written on her back. Greene was crying and yelling that one of her alleged attackers had a gun.”

“Greene told police officers that one or more of the men who allegedly attacked her said he had a gun and threatened to shoot her. Greene also said that one or more of the attackers had held her down and restrained her movement, cutting her and writing on her body. A couple days later, after receiving medical treatment for her lacerations, Greene again described her alleged attack to law enforcement officers, including an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the DOJ said.

The investigation revealed that Greene had not, in fact, been attacked by three men at gunpoint on July 23. Instead, Greene had paid a body modification/scarification artist to deliberately cut the lacerations on her face, neck, upper chest, and shoulder, based on a pattern that she had provided beforehand.

Law enforcement officers recovered black zip ties in Greene’s car on the night of the alleged attack, similar to the zip ties that had been used to bind Greene’s arms and feet. Also, the investigation revealed that, two days prior to the alleged attack, the cellphone of Greene’s co-conspirator had been used to search “zip ties near me.”

The count of conspiracy has a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and a term of 3 years of supervised release. The count of false statements also has a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and a term of 3 years of supervised release.

Cheerleader who died on Carnival cruise was found stuffed under a bed: report

The Florida high school cheerleader who died on a Carnival Cruise ship was found by a maid wrapped in a blanket and stuffed under a bed, according to a report.

Anna Kepner, 18, was discovered dead in her cabin on Nov. 7 while on a six-day Caribbean cruise with her family on the Carnival Horizon — but frustratingly few details had been released about her death, even to her family.

However, two sources told the Daily Mail that the high schooler from Titusville was wrapped in a blanket, covered in life jackets and shoved underneath a bed when she was found dead.

Anna had told family members at dinner the night before that she was not feeling well and went back to her room, the sources said. But there was no sign of her the next morning when her family gathered for breakfast.

Tucker Misses the Mark – There’s NO Physical Evidence Crooks Attempted to Assassinate Anyone

Two days ago, Tucker Carlson released a thirty-minute video accusing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of lying to the American people about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump and reporting “that day Thomas Crooks came within a quarter inch of destroying this country and, yet, a year and a half later we still almost nothing about him or why he did it.”  Frankly, more is expected of someone of Carlson’s caliber of journalist.

The fact is, Tucker Carlson has no basis for reporting that Thomas Crooks attempted to kill anyone.

There has been no physical evidence provided by the FBI, Pennsylvania State Police, Butler Police, Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security, Congressional Committees, the Butler, PA Coroner or the Allegheny County Coroner.

While Carlson focuses on proving the FBI lied about Crooks not having any online presence, AbleChild would argue that, while interesting, knowing what Crooks posted online two years before the assassination attempt still does not provide any proof that Crooks was the shooter.

To legitimately convict Thomas Matthew Crooks of attempting to kill Donald Trump and being responsible for the death of Corey Comperatore, much more solid evidence is needed, beginning with the FBI’s ballistics report. It was reported by the Congressional Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump that the projectile recovered from the roof of the AGR building next to Crooks, that “although a microscopic comparison was inconclusive, the grooves on the fragment were consistent with the rifling characteristics of test rounds fired through the Secret Service rifle.” “Consistent with?” That’s not a match. The FBI is merely suggesting that the grooves of the fragment were “consistent.” The microscopic comparison either shows that the grooves of the recovered projectile match the barrel of the sniper’s weapon or they don’t.

Further, the FBI also would have conducted DNA and fingerprint analysis on the alleged weapon and any other evidence found on the alleged shooter’s body or the roof of the AGR building. However, there are obvious problems with the chain of custody of any evidence collected from the roof of the AGR building. Recall that the alleged shooter’s body laid on the roof of the AGR building the entire night until 6:30 a.m. the following morning when the Butler Coroner, William Young, finally decided to perform his death investigation.

Who had control of the AGR building during the evening hours after the 6:23 p.m. shooting until 6:30 a.m. the following morning? This is no minor issue as the body and evidence could have been tampered with during that 12-hour timespan. Plus, why was this information not important for Carlson to mention?

Of course, other issues make it ironic that Carlson, like so many others, is convinced that Crooks was the shooter even though there is no physical evidence that has been made publicly available to support this conclusion, beginning with the destruction of Crooks body within days of autopsy.

AbleChild would argue that the Allegheny County Medical Examiner who conducted the autopsy of the alleged gunman failed to adequately test of psychiatric drug use of the alleged shooter, rather only testing for “alcohol and drugs of abuse.” Why? Why in such an important case would the medical examiner fail to test for prescription mind-altering drugs, especially in light of the family’s mental health background?

More interesting is that the Medical Examiner does not reveal how he identified that the body being autopsied was that of Thomas Matthew Crooks. The only accompanying evidence was “a clear plastic bag containing medium length brown hair (submitted as evidence).”

Did Butler County Coroner, William Young, provide that bag of hair? Who knows? Young has never made public his investigative notes. In fact, it is anyone’s guess how Young identified Crooks as the body lying on the roof. Having Young’s investigative notes would be extremely helpful, especially having any information as to why the coroner was turned away from the AGR building on the evening of July 13th and forced to leave the body on the roof all night before identification could be made.

At the end of the day, Carlson’s video about the FBI’s mistakes regarding Crooks’ online presence, while interesting, doesn’t get us to the point of who pulled the trigger.

If there is chastising to be done, it should be about the FBI’s refusal to release its investigation, along with all physical evidence reports. The same can be said about the Pennsylvania State Police Report. Why have these reports been withheld?

FBI Director Kash Patel Issues Response After Tucker Carlson Drops Explosive Allegations and Footage Regarding Would-Be Trump Assassin Thomas Crooks

Tucker Carlson has rekindled the fuse surrounding the mystery of Thomas Crooks, the man who tried to take out President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania last year.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Carlson stated on Thursday that the FBI lied about Thomas Crooks and was engaged in a massive cover-up, which would be revealed in a documentary the next day.

“The FBI told us Thomas Crooks tried to kill Donald Trump last summer but somehow had no online footprint,” Carlson alleged. “The FBI lied, and we can prove it … Story tomorrow.”

He then released a 34-minute video on Friday morning.

“Thomas Crooks came within a quarter inch of destroying this country, and yet, a year and a half later, we still know almost nothing about him or why he did it. That’s because, for some reason, the FBI, even the current FBI, doesn’t want us to know,” Carlson said.

In the video, Carlson goes on to claim that Biden’s and Trump’s FBI have hidden critical details not only regarding Crooks’ motivations behind the attack, but also his supposed sudden political shift detailed in his social media history.

Carlson said an anonymous user obtained access to Crooks’ alleged YouTube account, showing he went from being a die-hard Trump fan to a deranged Never-Trumper. The posts were from 2019 to 2020.

In 2019, Crooks called Trump the “literal definition of Patriotism” and called for anti-Trump congresswomen to be killed. He also called for the beheading of “Trump-hating Democrats.”

“Illhan Omar and others are invaders and should honestly be killed and their dead bodies sent back,” he allegedly said in one post.

But by 2020, he called Trump supporters “brainwashed, “dumb, and “racist, while mocking the idea of a deep state.

“It was an amazing transformation,” Carlson remarked.
