ANALYSIS – From the day cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed on the set of the movie Rust, on Oct. 21, 2021, there has been a flurry of speculation over whether anyone would be criminally charged. Hutchins was killed when a live round was fired from a real ‘prop’ gun being held by liberal actor Alec Baldwin. Well, now the speculation is over, and Baldwin will be charged. He has always denied responsibility, saying the replica old west revolver should have had dummy bullets and that he never pulled the trigger. On the first point, Baldwin is correct; on the…

ANALYSIS – The fight against China’s growing global network of illegal police outposts has finally heated up here in the United States, with the FBI raiding the large Chinese station in New York City (NYC). This is the mission the FBI should be focused on, rather than raiding pro-life activists or colluding with Big Tech to censor Americans. I’ve written about these extraterritorial Chinese police stations several times, highlighting the one in NYC, as well as those in Canada and Europe. Beijing says these outposts aren’t doing any police work, only helping Chinese citizens abroad, but Chinese state media reports that…

ANALYSIS – Elon Musk is challenging fellow billionaire George Soros and the entire globalist elite now meeting in Davos, Switzerland. Musk, still majority owner and CEO of Twitter, made his challenge via his recently acquired social media platform. In a tweet, Ian Miles asked, “If we got George Soros in a Twitter Space, what question would you ask him?” – Musk responded with his own simple question for Soros: “Do you actually know where your money is going?” https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1614852938375258112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1614852938375258112%7Ctwgr%5E5ce5e111489746574fe2511918701d4ba374bb51%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thestreet.com%2Ftechnology%2Felon-musk-asks-billionaire-george-soros-a-provocative-question This prompted a flurry of anti-Soros comments.

ANALYSIS – The separate disclosures of highly classified materials found in three different locations tied to Joe Biden and his delay in making public the first discovery in November seem to be souring even the most ardent Bidenistas. Per the New York Post, Biden’s loyal lap dog, Attorney General Garland, “solidifying his reputation as a bitter partisan hack, kept secret the first Biden document finding of Nov. 2 until after the midterm elections and seemed to be hiding each new finding until it was forced into the open.” Biden’s prior harsh words about Trump “how could anyone be that irresponsible?” with classified…
ANALYSIS – Yes, Donald Trump took scores of highly classified materials to his home at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, but at least he didn’t stash them next to his old sports car in a garage. Mar-a-Lago is also protected by the Secret Service. Meanwhile, Joe Biden may be the only POTUS to own a very sweet, racing green, 1967 Chevy Corvette Stingray – TS/SCI Edition. Who knows what’s in the glove compartment. The latest find by government investigators has shown former Vice President Biden apparently took a second batch of highly classified materials after leaving office in 2017 and stashed them in his…
ANALYSIS – In an unprecedented move, the Iranian terror regime in Tehran has announced it will be stationing warships in the Panama Canal Zone later this year. This would put the Iranian military within striking distance of American waters and vital trade routes. This follows earlier moves last year where Iran sent oil tankers to Venezuela, which at one point the U.S. may have threatened to stop. In 2020, the United States seized Iranian petroleum bound for Venezuela aboard four tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, enforcing a forfeiture order aimed at both Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the…
ANALYSIS – Thankfully the pressure continues to build on the establishment media and scientific community for its massive failure and cover-up of the COVID-19 lab leak origin theory. From day one of the COVID outbreak in Wuhan, China, I argued that it would be a dereliction of duty for any intelligence analyst worth his/her salt, or any journalist or expert, to ignore the elephant in the room – that there was a rare Chinese government Level 4 Biosafety Lab (BSL-4) within a few miles of the alleged ground zero for the virus. Compounding this fact with the understanding that China…
