Madison School Shooter Manifesto Reveals Misanthropic Teen Girl Who Celebrated Killers.

The alleged manifesto of the 15-year-old girl who shot and killed three people, including herself, at a private Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, reveals she deeply hated people and celebrated killers. Natalie Rupnow, who was also known as Samatha, was identified as the main suspect in the shooting and was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot at the scene of the killings by police.

Her manifesto, entitled ‘War Against Humanity,’ was published on X by journalist Anna Slatz of Reduxx Magazine. It reveals a visceral hatred for human beings, whom Rupnow calls “filth.”

Rupnow states that she hates “whores and scum” most of all, saying, “You and your parents should be hanged in front of everyone.” She says black people are even worse, using racial slurs and saying, “Once you sleep with one, you are one.”

The manifesto also celebrates several other killers, including Pekka Eric Auvinen, who shot and killed eight people at a high school in Finland in 2007.

In a brief “introduction,” Rupnow states that she obtained the firearms “by lies and manipulation, and my father’s stupidity.” She adds that she planned the attack after planning to shoot herself  “a while ago” but thought a single suicide was “boring.”

The manifesto does not appear to state why Rupnow chose to target Abundant Life Christian School, which educates around 390 students from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

Madison police chief Shon Barnes stated that while authorities initially thought five people had been killed, they later revised that number to three. The two victims of Rupnow were a teenage student and a teacher.

Barnes also stated the weapon used was a 9mm pistol, and the initial police report of the shooting came from a child of just seven or eight years old.

Congressional Report Accuses Liz Cheney of Tampering with J6 Witness, Recommends FBI Investigation.

An interim report on the January 6 Capitol riots accuses former Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) of illegally tampering with witnesses who testified before the Democrat-controlled January 6 Select Committee during the previous Congress. Released on Tuesday, the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report reveals Cheney coached former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on her testimony, urging her to alter parts of her story.

“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the committee states. Chaired by Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report continues: “Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.”

“This secret communication with a witness is improper and likely violates 18 U.S.C. 1512. Such action is outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause,” the report concludes.

Loudermilk’s investigation also suggests that Hutchinson committed perjury while testifying before the January 6 Select Committee, likely at Cheney’s behest. However, the report alleges that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has withheld critical documents from congressional investigators, making it difficult to confirm that the witness lied to Congress. Additionally, the document indicates that Hutchinson may have lied in her interview with the FBI following the events of January 6.

Witness tampering is considered a federal crime, with those convicted being sentenced to as much as 20 years in prison.

DOJ Inspector General Says Schiff and Swalwell Behind Russia Hoax Leaks.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) released a report last week revealing Democrat Members of Congress and their staff actively leaked classified materials to the media to push the Russia hoax narrative against President Donald J. Trump during his first term in office. According to the report, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was aware of the classified leaks and their sources but failed to pursue the matter adequately.

Representatives Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA) were named in the report as having purposely leaked classified documents to several corporate media outlets. The report states that a whistleblower who served as a Democratic staffer on a congressional committee identified the two California Democrats to the FBI. The whistleblower stated they “suspected that Member 1 had previously leaked classified information and that Member 2 wanted to influence public opinion via the release of classified information.”

Additionally, the IG report states a senior Democrat congressional staffer was found to be communicating with at least three members of the media who subsequently published classified information that he had access to. However, despite evidence of the leak being handed over to the FBI, the agency declined to investigate further. The New York Times identified the suspected leaker as Michael Bahar.

The investigation included reviewing the communications of several congressional staffers. The DOJ appeared to monitor both Republican and Democrat staff members, as well as nonpartisan positions. A total of 21 Democrats and 20 Republicans had their communications analyzed. The report states that no charges were filed despite various individuals being implicated in leaks.

Judge Grants Chauvin’s Lawyers Access to Floyd Autopsy Samples, Confirms He Was Alive at Hospital.

A federal judge has authorized the legal team of Derek Chauvin to examine heart and fluid samples from George Floyd’s autopsy. U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson made the decision following claims by Chauvin’s attorneys that a heart condition, not Chauvin’s actions, led to Floyd’s death.

Dr. William Schaetzel, involved in the case, suggested Floyd suffered from takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which severely affects heart muscle walls despite being temporary. Floyd had fentanyl in his system during his arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill.

Additionally, the ruling confirms claims that blood was taken from Floyd before he died. This appears to indicate that Floyd was alive when he arrived at the hospital. “The autopsy report also shows that antemortem blood was collected by HHC on 5-25-20,” Judge Magnuson’s ruling states.

Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer, was convicted of the murder of George Floyd. The incident, where Chauvin was accused of killing Floyd by kneeling on his neck, resulted in widespread protests and riots across the United States in 2020. The unrest caused significant damage, with insurance claims running into billions, and claimed a number of lives.

Judge Magnuson, in his ruling, stated that Chauvin’s lawyers could now analyze histology slides and tissue samples taken during Floyd’s autopsy. Magnuson emphasized the criminal case’s significance and the potential impact of this discovery on understanding Floyd’s death. Chauvin is serving a 21-year prison sentence and is seeking to overturn his conviction, partly blaming his previous attorney, Eric Nelson, for not pursuing an alternative explanation of Floyd’s cause of death.

Dem Donor Judge Denies Trump’s Immunity Rights, Won’t Dismiss ‘Hush Money’ Case.

Late Monday, Democrat-aligned Judge Juan Merchan ruled against President-elect Donald J. Trump’s request to dismiss District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s so-called hush money case. A New York jury found Trump guilty Trump in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to payments made to adult actress Stormy Daniels in 2016.

Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign spokesman—and future White House communications director—blasted Merchan’s ruling, stating it violated the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity. “This lawless case should have never been brought, and the Constitution demands that it be immediately dismissed, as President Trump must be allowed to continue the Presidential Transition process and execute the vital duties of the presidency, unobstructed by the remains of this, or any other, Witch Hunt,” Cheung said in a statement.

The ruling leaves the possibility of sentencing open, pending legal appeals from Trump’s side. It remains uncertain when or if Trump will face sentencing, given that Judge Merchan has yet to decide if this could occur before Trump assumes office in January or after his term concludes in 2029.

“The Supreme Court’s June presidential-immunity ruling requires Democrat Manhattan Judge Juan Merchan to declare a mistrial,” conservative attorney Mike Davis, founder of The Article III Project, wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “But Merchan once again ignores the clear law. His daughter Loren could lose a lot of Democrat funding if her dad ruled any other way. Clear corruption.”

Loren Merchan has done significant business with Democratic politicians. CNN legal analyst Elie Honig has also criticized Judge Merchan for having personally “donated money… in plain violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges from making political donations of any kind—to a pro-Biden, anti-Trump political operation.”

Syria’s Alawite Minority Looking to Migrate Under New Al-Qaeda Regime.

Members of Syria’s Alawite minority in the Latakia region, once a stronghold of the Assads in Syria, claim to be pleased the family‘s reign has been ended, but many fear reprisals from the incoming jihadist-led regime. Alawism is an offshoot of Shia Islam that believes in a kind of trinity that has incarnated multiple times. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the former al-Qaeda franchise that took control of Damascus on December 8, is Sunni and regards the Alawites as heretics.

Fabrice Balanche, from France’s University Lumière Lyon 2, estimates the Alawite population to be approximately 1.7 million, about nine percent of Syrians. The community’s historical ties to the Assad family, serving as its “Praetorian Guard,” are raising fears the Sunni majority will exact collective revenge on them under HTS.

HTS, originating from the Al-Nusra Front, a former Al-Qaeda franchise, is claiming it will tolerate non-Sunni communities by pledging to protect their rights. However, it has targeted the Druze and other religious minorities in the past. Within Syria, many Alawites have sought refuge in areas like Latakia, where their numbers are greater, fearing past violence might recur. Many told the AFP that they or their relatives and associates hope to leave the country altogether. “I can see the comments online saying ‘Your turn is coming’ or ‘We will kill you’,” said one Alawite university student in the country.

Alawite religious leaders have requested amnesty and safe return assurances for all displaced individuals.

In the early stages of the rebel offensive, the United Nations (UN) warned that renewed hostilities could cause 1.5 million Syrians to migrate, with many likely to end up in Western countries. Around a million, mostly Sunni Syrians, migrated to Europe during the 2015-16 migrant crisis, with family chain migration eventually swelling their numbers to around 4.5 million.

Brexit In Name Only: UK Dragged Into EU Court for Not Making Migration Easy Enough.

The European Union‘s unelected executive arm, the European Commission, has initiated legal action against the United Kingdom over alleged failures to adhere to ‘freedom of movement’ migration regulations following Brexit. This comes as pro-EU Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer looks to “reset” relations with the bloc, reportedly including moves to undo parts of Brexit.

The Commission has referred the United Kingdom to the Court of Justice of the European Union, citing non-compliance with the post-Brexit withdrawal agreement, particularly concerning the rights of residents to move and work in EU member states. The issue originated in May 2020 when the Commission accused Britain of impeding EU citizens and their families’ free movement rights. Despite previous communications and warnings, the Commission stated on Monday that several issues remain unresolved, particularly about workers’ rights and extended family members’ rights.

In his initial months in office, Prime Minister Starmer has prioritized a new deal with the EU. He is accused of setting up a “surrender squad” of pro-EU civil servants to negotiate with the bloc to roll back key parts of Brexit without technically re-joining the European Union.

Coinciding with the legal proceedings, it has emerged that Brussels plans to request that the British submit to certain EU laws in exchange for an improved trade agreement.

A strategy document suggests EU negotiators will demand British acceptance of the European Court of Justice’s jurisdiction as a condition for any enhanced trade deal, undermining national sovereignty. The document also emphasizes fishing rights—EU vessels have plundered the majority of fish in Britain’s territorial waters for many years—and a so-called “youth mobility scheme” allowing younger EU nationals to migrate to Britain easily.

The recall, first announced last month, affects a range of products, including bulk salt in one metric ton totes, 50-pound bags of special purity granulated food-grade salt, and 44-pound bags of Sifto HyGrade salt. These products were distributed across the U.S. to states such as Maine, Indiana, and Wisconsin and to Canadian customers.

Following the discovery, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified the recall as Class II on December 13. Class II classification indicates that the use of or exposure to the product in question may lead to temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, with the unlikely chance of severe health effects. Anyone possessing these recalled items has been advised to discontinue their use immediately. Further instructions and details on the recall can be found on the FDA and Compass Minerals’ official websites.

The specific lot codes under this recall include 3240923, 3240924, 3241011, 3241022, 3241029, and 3241102.

WATCH: Bernie Warns Biden’s Pardon of Hunter Sets ‘Dangerous’ Precedent.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has expressed concern over President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, suggesting it might establish a dangerous “precedent” for future administrations.

Speaking on Sunday, Sanders acknowledged the personal aspect for Biden, noting the understandable desire of a parent to protect their family amidst political attacks. “When you have his opponents going after his family, as a father, as a parent, I think we can all understand Biden trying to protect his son and his family,” he said. “On the other hand, I think the precedent being set is kind of a dangerous one,” he added, warning that the scope of this pardon might create challenges for future presidents.

Biden’s White House pledged last year that he would not pardon his son Hunter after Hunter was indicted for several felonies, including lying about his drug habits on a federal firearms form. Despite that promise, Biden pardoned Hunter following the election victory of President-elect Donald J. Trump, granting sweeping immunity for any crimes Hunter committed or may have committed over a decade from 2014 to 2024.

U.S. District Court Judge Mark Scarsi, who presided over one of Hunter’s cases, called the pardon partially unconstitutional and an attempt to re-write history.

Following Hunter Biden’s pardon, others have called for pardons for top Democrats. Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-MS), former chair of the House Democrats’ January 6 Committee, stated he would accept a pardon if Biden offered it.

Former OpenAI Whistleblower Dies Mysteriously at 26.

A former researcher at OpenAI, 26-year-old Suchir Balaji, has been found dead in his San Francisco apartment. Balaji had left OpenAI earlier in the year and publicly voiced concerns over alleged copyright violations by the company in developing its ChatGPT chatbot.

The San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, represented by Executive Director David Serrano Sewell, said in an email that Balaji’s death has been ruled as a suicide, with his family having been informed of the situation. On November 26, officers from the San Francisco Police Department conducted a welfare check at an apartment on Buchanan Street. Subsequently, they discovered a deceased adult male and reported no signs of foul play in their preliminary findings.

In October,  the New York Times highlighted Balaji’s apprehensions about the potential impact of AI technologies like ChatGPT on the profitability of creators and organizations supplying the data used for AI training. Balaji had expressed a firm belief that leaving the company was necessary due to these concerns.

Meanwhile, OpenAI is currently embroiled in legal challenges from various publishers and artists over the alleged misuse of copyrighted content. Chief Executive Sam Altman of OpenAI stated at a press event that training on particular datasets does not substantially influence the company’s AI models, suggesting a misunderstanding about the necessity of specific data sources.

An OpenAI spokesman conveyed the organization’s grief and extended condolences to Balaji’s family.
