| OMG video: State Farm boss secretly filmed making bombshell comments about [CA] wildfire victims | |
| 2025-03-12 | |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A top State Farm executive has been fired after being caught on hidden camera making stunning and callous remarks about LA wildfire victims while revealing explosive claims about secret corporate maneuvers to raise rates on vulnerable policyholders. Haden Kirkpatrick, State Farm's Vice President for Innovation and Venture Capital, was secretly recorded admitting the company 'kind of' orchestrated a massive rate hike for California homeowners reeling from the devastation of January's deadly fires. The undercover video - published by O'Keefe Media Group - sees Kirkpatrick making cynical and cold-hearted statements about victims of the recent infernos that killed 29 people, destroyed over 12,000 homes, and scorched 57,000 acres in Los Angeles County alone. In the bombshell footage, Kirkpatrick dismissed the suffering of victims and criticized Californians for building homes in fire-prone regions. 'People want to build in areas where they want to have, like, natural areas around them for their ego. But it's also a f***ing desert. And so, it dries out as a tinderbox. 'Areas like where the Palisades are, there should never be houses built in the first place,' Kirkpatrick added without an ounce of sympathy for the thousands who lost everything. But the footage went further still as Kirkpatrick admitted that wildfires such as those which tore through Pacific Palisades and Altadena, are entirely predictable to insiders and that State Farm is actively maneuvering to escape financial exposure to such disasters. 'Climate change is pushing these seasons. If you're an insurance professional, it's predictable,' he said.

| Trump Fires Joint Chiefs of Staff After Alleged Coup Plot Exposed by James O’Keefe Video | |||
| 2025-02-26 | |||
[X: Project Constitution] — Project Constitution (@ProjectConstitu) February 23, 2025 (Watch The Video Here) https://x.com/ProjectConstitu/status/1893527590087852473 Feb 22, 2025 - Washington, D.C. In a stunning and unprecedented move, President Donald Trump has fired the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest-ranking military officers in the United States, following allegations of a plot to undermine his authority. The dramatic shakeup, announced late Friday night, February 21, 2025, stems from a controversial video released by investigative journalist James O’Keefe on January 15, 2025, which purportedly exposed a high-level Pentagon official discussing secret meetings to defy and potentially overthrow Trump if he issued orders deemed controversial by military leadership. The firings have ignited a firestorm of debate, with some hailing it as a bold defense of civilian control over the military, while others decry it as a dangerous politicization of the armed forces. THE O’KEEFE VIDEO: A BOMBSHELL REVELATION The saga began on January 15, 2025, when O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) released undercover footage featuring Jamie Mannina, a senior advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former FBI special agent.
Mannina’s statements painted a picture of a clandestine effort within the military establishment to resist Trump’s authority. He claimed to have been in conversations with retired generals since the spring of 2024, working through a 501(c)(4) organization to obscure their involvement. “This organization tried to defeat Donald Trump,” Mannina said, adding that he had ghostwritten over 100 opinion columns for generals to sway public opinion against Trump during the election cycle.
The confrontation that followed was equally explosive. O’Keefe ambushed Mannina outside a Washington, D.C., restaurant, presenting him with the footage. Mannina reacted angrily, shouting, “Get the f*** out of here!” and calling O’Keefe a “known liar” and “fraud,” though he failed to specify any inaccuracies when pressed. Within hours, the Pentagon confirmed Mannina’s termination from his contracted role, with Joint Staff Public Affairs Spokesman Joseph Holstead stating that his views did not reflect those of the military leadership. TRUMP’S RESPONSE: A SWIFT AND DECISIVE PURGE The January video set off alarm bells within Trump’s transition team, already wary of “deep state” resistance from his first term. Sources close to the administration suggest that the footage fueled suspicions of a broader conspiracy within the Pentagon. By February 21, 2025, just over a month into his second term, Trump acted decisively. In a Truth Social post, he announced the firing of General Charles “CQ” Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, thanking him for his 40 years of service but offering no specific reason for the dismissal. Minutes later, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth followed with a statement confirming the removal of Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff General James Slife, and the Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Reports indicate that Trump’s team linked the alleged plot to a faction of military leaders perceived as loyal to former Chairman Mark Milley, whom Trump has long criticized. Milley, who retired in 2023, was quoted in Bob Woodward’s 2024 book War calling Trump “fascist to the core,” a statement that deepened the rift between Trump and the military establishment. A source familiar with the transition told Reuters that the administration aimed to purge “every single person elevated and appointed by Milley,” suggesting the firings were part of a broader effort to root out perceived disloyalty. Critics, however, question the video’s context and O’Keefe’s credibility. Mannina’s statements, while provocative, lack specific details about actionable plans, and some argue they reflect personal frustrations rather than an organized conspiracy. The Joint Staff clarified that Mannina was not an advisor to General Brown or the Joint Chiefs directly, but rather a contractor in the J6 C4 & Cyber division.

| DOGE Reveals Biden EPA Awarded $2 Billion to Firm Linked to Election Denier Stacey Abrams in ‘Gold Bar’ Heist – Lee Zeldin Responds | |
| 2025-02-21 | |
 ...sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser! Loser! Loser!) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Then she wanted to be Joe Biden's vice president, so now she can sour grape about that too...Even worse, the firm only reported $100 in revenue in its first three months in business in 2023. How did a brand new firm that only reported $100 in revenue get awarded $2 billion?? Earlier this month Lee Zeldin, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), provided an update to the money wasted on Biden’s watch in response to undercover video posted by Project Veritas in December. EPA Advisor Brent Efron admitted on undercover video to an ‘insurance policy’ against the Trump Admin and said the agency was funneling billions to climate organizations in a last minute heist. “We’re throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” Efron told a Project Veritas undercover journalist. Last week Lee Zeldin said his team at the EPA ‘found the gold bars.’ “Fortunately, my awesome team at the EPA has found the gold bars. Shockingly, roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history and it was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight,” Zeldin said. It gets worse. Zeldin said the $20 billion was “awarded to just 8 entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far less transparency. Just under $7 billion was sent to one entity called the Climate United Fund.” Now this… It was revealed that $2 billion of the $20 billion recovered by Lee Zeldin was awarded to Power Forward Communities, a brand new nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams, according to the Free Beacon. EPA Chief Lee Zeldin responded to the Free Beacon’s report. “It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion. That’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue,” Lee Zeldin told the Free Beacon. The Free Beacon reported: DOGE discovered $2 billion in taxpayer funds set aside for a fledgling nonprofit linked to perennial Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams.

| US believes Iran looking at potential ways to quickly build nuclear bomb — report |
| 2025-02-04 |
Pronouncements catching up to long-known reality… that CIA 2003 Nation Report thingy that lied to hobble President George W. Bush’s actions in the WoT and Israel’s thereafter, if I have the right label for it. [IsraelTimes] Tehran has not chosen to break out toward nukes, but is secretly examining shortcuts to a weapon should it make that decision, The New York Times reportsNew American intelligence indicates that a covert team of Iranian scientists is exploring ways to quickly develop a nuclear weapon if the country’s leadership decides to pursue one, The New York Times  ...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reports. New intelligence? How very interesting. Is that new as in this week or new as in sometime after 2003? Who shared this information with the New York Times reporter, pray tell, and did he/she have permission from the new management to do so, or is this one of those leak thingies that’s going to lead to somebody or somebodies losing their clearance, their employment, and possibly their freedom? Oh, and has the unnamed source gone on any dates lately? James O’Keefe’s OMG and Project Veritas are only two of the many conservative New Media news orgs, undercover and otherwise, on the prowl for major scoops nowadays. The report says the information points to Iran  ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate seeking a shortcut to a bomb that would enable them to convert their uranium stocks into a weapon within months rather than years, if necessary, though a decision to race toward a bomb has not been made. The paper says the intel was gathered in the final months of the Biden administration and shared with the new administration of Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... It notes that with Iran’s regional power weakened by the blows to its proxy forces in the region and its failure to significantly hit Israel with its missile barrages, Tehran is anxious to find new ways to deter a strike by Israel or the US. Concerns have grown among Iran’s top decision-makers that US President Donald Trump might in his second term empower Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to strike Iran’s nuclear sites while further tightening US sanctions on its oil industry. Last month, UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi said Iran was "pressing the gas pedal" on its enrichment of uranium to near weapons grade. Grossi said Iran had informed the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency that it would "dramatically" accelerate the enrichment of uranium to up to 60% purity, closer to the roughly 90% of weapons-grade. Western powers called the step a serious escalation and said there was no civil justification for enriching to that level, and that no other country had done so without producing nuclear weapons. Iran, which frequently threatens to destroy Israel, has said its program is entirely peaceful and it has the right to enrich uranium to any level it wants. Taqqiya. However,nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... US intelligence agencies and the IAEA say Iran had an organized military nuclear program up until 2003, and continued to develop its nuclear program beyond civilian necessity. Israel contends that the Islamic Theocratic Republicnever truly abandoned its nuclear weapons program. Contend is precisely the wrong word here. Proved using Iran’s own warehouse archive of documents liberated almost a decade ago under Iran Revolutionary Guard noses starts to approach the level of Israeli documentation for the claim. This kind of thing makes the CIA look unwise, defensive, and spiteful. Ditto for the New York Times, but nobody expects anything else from them. According to an ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency yardstick, about 42 kilograms (93 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60% is enough in principle, if enriched further, for one nuclear bomb. Grossi said Iran currently had about 200 kilograms of uranium enriched to up to 60%.Tehran’s foreign minister told Al Jazeera TV last week that Iran will respond immediately and decisively if its nuclear sites are attacked, which would lead to an "all-out war in the region." Israel and the US launching a military attack on Iranian nuclear facilities would be "one of the biggest historical mistakes the US could make," Abbas Araghchi said. |

| 'Line in the Sand' Film Exposes Money Driving Migrant Industrial Complex |
| 2024-12-26 |
| [Breitbart] Investigative journalist James O’Keefe discussed his recently released documentary film, Line in the Sand, with Breitbart News during an exclusive interview at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest. O’Keefe, the founder of O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), sat down with Breitbart News at AmericaFest following his speech Friday, which included him bringing several brave whistleblowers on stage. “Well, Line in the Sand took a long time to make. We filmed in Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, California. We journeyed with the undocumented immigrants coming across the border, went to the [non-governmental organizations] that housed them, snuck in recorded conversations,” O’Keefe detailed. The film, available on the Tucker Carlson Network, explores and exposes the world of the migrant industrial complex at an intimate level. Line in the Sand spotlights the illicit journey of migrants into the United States, but also U.S.-funded child detention centers and the driving force of money in the corrupt system. “We were trying to expose the system, and what we found was it’s all about money, and it’s really a documentary that shows–it doesn’t tell, it shows–and it shows by us being immersed in it. So it’s really a one-of-a-kind film,” he told Breitbart News. The exposé has garnered stellar reviews from viewers, earning an 8.9 out of 10 rating on IMBD. Breitbart News also spoke with O’Keefe about OMG’s trademark investigative work and the benefits of its undercover nature. These subjects speak with a level of honesty they would not dare share if they understood they were being recorded. O’Keefe emphasized that many of the subjects reveal damning information because it eats at their conscience. “When there’s such a wide gap between what the truth is and what you tell the people, typically, people are going to confess those things to a stranger because it eats at them, and they need someone to share it with,” he detailed. O’Keefe also shared his message to potential whistleblowers who can prove corruption but may be too afraid to come forward, as well as his overarching message at AmericaFest. “Contact us at–we have a nonprofit organization called Citizen Journalism Foundation, and it’s tax-deductible now,” O’Keefe said in his message to potential whistleblowers. “I used to be a Project Veritas, but now we have a C3 that will defend you. We just wrote a $100,000 check to a Disney whistle-blower today, and we’re going to be doing that once a week for 2025.” His overarching message at AmericaFest was that the actual battle for truth is internal, not external. “My message on stage today was that the fight is not external. It’s not with an enemy out there. It’s within ourselves,” he said. “It’s within us because telling the truth and standing up for something, even at great personal sacrifice, is a choice that every one of us has to make. Therefore, it is within us; the fight is within us. And that’s really where good and evil lies and some people do not succumb to their better angels.” Related: O’Keefe Media Group 12/12/2024 O'Keefe Sneaks Into Emergency FEMA Locations, Exposes Empty Disaster Recovery Center O’Keefe Media Group 09/10/2024 Tenn Law Enforcement Corruption O’Keefe Media Group 05/24/2024 OMG: US Air Force analyst admits no data exists to support implementing DEI policies |

 [ProjectVeritas] Key Quotes from Gagan Vaseer, Program Management Officer, United Nations:
A United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... manager of peacekeeping has just said the quiet part out loud: war is good for UN employees. Gagan Vaseer, UN Program Management Officer for innovation and peacekeeping, told a Project Veritas journalist that UN employees only rake in serious cash when wars are raging around the globe. To make things more interesting, he revealed that their preferred Presidential candidate was none other than Republican Warhawk Nikki Haley  ...Trump administration's former ambassador to the UN. First woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley was the youngest governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...In a meeting with a Veritas investigative journalist, Vaseer pulls back the curtain on the UN’s supposed political neutrality, revealing that behind the scenes, employees favored Crooked HillaryClinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world,usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... —and more recently, Nikki Haley—for President. According to Vaseer, the United Nations is firmly opposed to Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... ’s presidency and doesn’t want him in office. The United Nations (UN) was founded to maintain peace, foster friendly relations among nations, and promote global cooperation. But according to Vaseer, the UN is failing to deliver on these goals. He claims the organization is inefficient, outdated, and that ninety percent of its employees are "lazy" and "squatting" - collecting paychecks off the suffering of the world.paid more." - Gagan Vaseer, Program Management Officer, United Nations He paints a picture of the United Nations headquarters in New York, where the majority of employees "don’t work," are never evaluated, and can’t be fired as they coast toward retirement. "They’re just taking up space," he says. As wars continue to rage in the Middle East, Vaseer offers little hope for a UN peace solution, stating, "They can’t figure it out because [the UN is]... a very archaic organization." Perhaps not coincidentally, Vaseer reveals that UN employees earn more during wartime, creating a perverse incentive for them to keep conflicts simmering rather than working to resolve them. Established in 1945 in the wake of World War II, the formation of the UN was intended to correct the failures of the League of Nations, which had been powerless to prevent the war. However, Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried... U.S. involvement in the UN has been contentious from the start. Alger Hiss, an American diplomat and key architect of the UN who also served as its first secretary-general, is infamous for being one of the most notorious American traitors in history—having betrayed the U.S. as a Soviet spy. With over 190 member states and countless agencies, the UN is often criticized for being too large and fragmented to effectively solve global issues, such as conflict, poverty, and human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... abuses. Vaseer echoes this criticism describing the UN as "amorphous body of nothingness" that lacks clear purpose and fails to deliver on its promises. This week, President-Elect Donald Trump appointed Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as the incoming U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. In an online statement, she declared, "I stand ready to advance President Donald J. Trump’s restoration of America First peace through strength leadership on the world stage on Day One at the United Nations." However, Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried... Vaseer told Project Veritas that the United Nations does not align with Trump’s America First agenda. It remains to be seen how the "lazy" employees at the UN will respond to a shift in U.S. leadership under Trump and Stefanik.

He explains, “It seemed to link out to legitimate news publication sites. So, it seemed like it was an ad from PBS, but it was really an ad for the Kamala campaign,” making users believe they were reading unbiased reports from reputable sources. Leazer also confesses that Google’s primary objective is to generate ad revenue through fear-based content, explaining, “I think whatever demographic is most fearful is going to be most profitable.” According to Leazer, the left currently represents the most fearful demographic, which is why Google has been pushing pro-Kamala narratives for profit, explaining “I think right now the left is more fearful than the right is.” He further states, “It's all about the share of the stock price,” revealing that Google’s liberal bias is not just political, but tied to financial gain. He adds, “I think Google has a belief that one side will allow them to make more money,” revealing Google’s profit motives through driving political manipulation. Leazer’s admission mirrors past media motives, including CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester’s claim that “fear sells,” reinforcing the role of big tech and media in shaping public perception through fear and bias.
