REVEALED: O’Keefe’s Migrant Exposé Shows US Taxpayers Funding NGO Run by Former British Foreign Minister Shipping Illegals into America.

A new video exposé by journalist James O’Keefe has exposed a facility in Arizona allegedly run by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) serving as a transportation center, shuttling illegal immigrants to the nearby Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. From there, the illegal immigrants are able to board flights to other cities across the United States.

The IRC is a gargantuan, globalist non-governmental organization (NGO) which boasted a total 2021 budget of over $1 billion. David Miliband, former British Foreign Minister, member of the Labour Party, and oft-tapped future UK Prime Minister currently serves as its president.

In 2021 alone, the IRC was the recipient of $415 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars through government grants. Agencies which fund the group include the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration ($178 million), the Department of Health and Human Services ($123 million), and the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance ($114 million). In addition to the U.S. government, the European Union gave the IRC $75 million in 2021.

When O’Keefe tried to question an employee at the Phoenix facility – an old school building which the organization has repurposed – he was offered a monetary bribe to go away. Another employee of the facility intervened telling her colleague – in Spanish – to “say nothing.” The facility appears to be run by Thomas Robles – who prior to joining IRC served as the executive director of an Arizona-based leftist group called Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA). In an exchange with O’Keefe, Robles called the journalist a ‘domestic terrorist’ before contacting the local sheriff’s office.

The nebulous network of NGOs and non-profit groups who are facilitating the unchecked flow of illegal immigrants into the United States making it difficult to determine the border crisis’s true cost to American taxpayers. Many of these groups receive generous government grants and act as unofficial extensions of the Biden government – but just how much remains unclear.

Biden Campaign Staff in Revolt, Demand Pressure on Israel to Release Prisoners, Cite ‘Electoral Imperative’.

Seventeen Joe Biden for President campaign staff are in open revolt against their own candidate, demanding the incumbent shift the U.S. government’s foreign policy regarding Israel and Gaza as a “moral and electoral imperative”.

Writing on Substack on Wednesday, the anonymous staffers claimed: “…your administration’s response to Israel’s indiscriminate bombing in Gaza has been fundamentally antithetical to [our] values — and we believe it could cost you the 2024 election.”

They continued with five demands, which includes the release of Palestinian prisoners held by the Jewish state.

  1. Publicly call for — and use financial and diplomatic leverage to bring about — an immediate, permanent ceasefire;
  2. Advocate for de-escalation in the region, including demanding that Hamas release all hostages and that Israel release the over 2,000 Palestinians in administrative detention being held without charge;
  3. End unconditional military aid to Israel;
  4. Investigate whether Israel’s actions in Gaza violate the Leahy Law, prohibiting U.S. military aid from funding foreign military units implicated in the commission of gross violations of human rights;
  5. Take concrete steps to end the conditions of apartheid, occupation, and ethnic cleansing that are the root causes of this conflict.

“As your staff, we believe it is both a moral and electoral imperative for you to publicly call for a cessation of violence,” they concluded, finishing with, “Biden for President staff have seen volunteers quit in droves, and people who have voted blue for decades feel uncertain about doing so for the first time ever, because of this conflict. It is not enough to merely be the alternative to Donald Trump.”

Jan 6 Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Donald Trump Dismissed by Federal Judge.

A federal judge has dismissed three of the five civil counts against former President Donald Trump and two others in connection with the death of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick during the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, including a claim of wrongful death.

The lawsuit against Trump was initiated by Sandra Garza, Sicknick’s girlfriend, who sought damages for wrongful death, conspiracy to violate civil rights, and negligence under D.C’s anti-riot law. In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta wrote that Garza could not claim damages associated under the Wrongful Death Act because she was not legally Sicknick’s spouse or domestic partner.

“Garza does not allege that she and Officer Sicknick filed the requisite ‘declaration of domestic partnership’ under District of Columbia law. Nor does she claim that they formed a domestic partnership under the law of any other jurisdiction,” wrote Mehta. “Her contention that a ‘domestic partnership’ was established simply by Officer Sicknick having identified Garza as his ‘domestic partner’ in his will finds no basis in the plain text of the statute. Garza therefore cannot recover the damages she personally seeks under the Act,” the judge continued.

While this is an obvious legal victory for Trump, the former president still faces two of the civil counts in the suit, as well as a number of other legal challenges in the coming weeks. Sicknick did not die on Jan 6, as first claimed by the media, but rather later from a stroke.

A Biden Appointee, Recently SCRUBBED From a Govt Website, is Behind Efforts to Boot Trump off The Ballot.

Joe Biden’s government continues to deny its involvement in attempting to remove Donald Trump from the ballot in a number of U.S. states, with the leading proponent of the endeavor – Noah Bookbinder – recently quietly removed from a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) website which previously featured him prominently as a Biden-Mayorkas appointee.

Bookbinder is the president and CEO of the left-wing lawfare organization known as Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). The National Pulse can reveal that until just days ago, in late 2023, he appeared on the DHS website as a member of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s ‘Advisory Council’. No rationale has been given for Bookbinder’s recent removal. The National Pulse has reached out to DHS for comment.

For at least four months, Bookbinder was serving as a political appointee under President Joe Biden while CREW funded and provided legal counsel to the petitioners. In fact, when State District Court Judge Sarah B. Wallace ruled against CREW – finding the Office of the President did not fall under the purview of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment – Bookbinder was quoted promising the decision would be appealed, indicating he was playing a direct and active role in the lawsuit.

“We always knew this case would end up before the Colorado Supreme Court, and have been preparing for that from the beginning,” Bookbinder said in a press release at the time. “We are planning to build on the trial judge’s incredibly important ruling that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection, and we are ready to take this case as far as necessary to ensure that Donald Trump is removed from the ballot.”

That was on November 21st, 2023 – while Bookbinder was still listed as an active appointee in the Biden government. The Colorado Supreme Court ultimately overturned Judge Wallace’s ruling and removed Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot.

Prosecutors Want 6-Month Sentence for ‘Unique’ Ray Epps.

Federal prosecutors are recommending a mere six-month prison sentence for controversial Jan 6 defendant Ray Epps. Set to be sentenced next week, Epps submitted a guilty plea for a slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanor charge in September, despite having claimed to have “orchestrated” the violence in 2021.

Prosecutors filed a sentencing memo on Tuesday arguing that Epps should receive just six-months for his attempts to provoke the storming of the Capitol building. Other Jan 6th prisoners have suffered years in jail, including solitary confinement, already. Some are facing decades in prison.

Epps was widely suspected of being an agent provocateur working on behalf of the authorities, but prosecutors denied this, stating: “Other than his four years in the Marines, Epps has never been a federal agent.”

Prosecutors also say Epps attributed the rioting to undercover Antifa members in the sentencing memo.

Last year, Epps launched a defamation lawsuit against Fox News, alleging that the network and its former host, Tucker Carlson, presented him as a key instigator of Jan 6, damaging his reputation and livelihood.

Former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steve Sund, however, has said Carlson was not “crazy” to question to question Epps’s role on Jan 6, adding that it also “raises concern for me”.

Associated Press Takes Donation From Foreign Group Training Journos to be Climate Change Activists.

The Associated Press (AP) received a donation of $300,000 from the KR Foundation, a Danish nonprofit with a manifesto for rapid fossil fuels phase-out, according to the charity’s 2022 annual report. This gift was quietly added to AP’s current philanthropic supporters list in February 2023, despite the newswire’s self-proclamation of maintaining the “highest practicable degree of transparency” about its benefactors.

Part of the KR Foundation’s plan involves spurring media organizations to promote its climate change agenda significantly, seeking to transform journalists into “community activists on climate change.”. Consequently, the grant extended to the AP until December 2024 is earmarked for the Global Scholars Network, the newswire’s international platform. Despite AP’s assertion to uphold editorial autonomy from its donor community, its climate reportage often mirrors the Foundation’s principles. Examples include recent articles advocating the phasing-out of fossil fuels and questions on the brink of a climate breakdown.

Other beneficiaries of the KR Foundation include organizations engaged in coordinated efforts to expedite the stoppage of fossil fuels use. The foundation grants include financial aids to legal student groups urging law firms to retreat from fossil fuel representation, and to media training programs designed to create climate change activists. Notably, the KR Foundation donated over $488,000 to Children’s Radio Foundation in 2018 to mold radio journalists in Africa into climate change activists.

The AP, which claims readership of four billion people each day, committed to a sweeping climate journalism initiative in 2022, financially backed by organizations such as the Hewlett Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Biden Weakens Vetting Process for Chinese Illegals.

In April 2023, the Biden government significantly streamlined the vetting process for Chinese illegal immigrants, according to an internal U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The email, directed at approximately 500 Border Patrol agents, reduces the number of interview questions from around 40 to just five for Chinese migrants apprehended after crossing the U.S. border without authorization. This change came amidst Border Patrol agents being inundated with near-record numbers of illegal crossings.

“This policy change has accelerated the time it takes to process Chinese illegal immigrants — this doesn’t make America safer,” J.J. Carrell, a retired CBP deputy patrol agent in charge, told the Daily Caller. “The final result is that dangerous Chinese illegal immigrants will still be released into the U.S.” In response to this policy change, human smuggling operations have swiftly adapted to these new guidelines, coaching Chinese immigrants on how to respond to the reduced list of questions.

The obtained email also indicates that Chinese illegal immigrants who successfully answer the five “basic questions” may be allowed entry into the U.S. interior and given an immigration court date. Despite this, the Department of Homeland Security’s Special Interest Alien (SIA) list, used to assess potential national security risks, does not include immigrants from China. In November 2023, the backlog of U.S. immigration court cases reached over three million — an all-time high — and Border Patrol encounters with Chinese illegal immigrants have surged by over 1,000% between 2022 and 2023, according to government records.

Muslim Brotherhood Commander Saleh Arouri Killed By Israeli Airstrike in Beirut.

The deputy leader of the Muslim Brotherhood’s ‘Hamas’ terror group, Saleh Arouri, has reportedly been killed by an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon. Videos from the scene show extensive damage to a city block on Tuesday, with vehicles reduced to flaming piles of twisted metal.  An apartment building also appears to have been damaged in the strike. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah cancelled a long-scheduled speech due Wednesday in the immediate aftermath.

The Israeli Defense Forces have engaged in a campaign to eliminate the leadership of Hamas since the October 7th terror attack carried out by the Islamist terrorist group. The attack saw around 1,200 people killed by Muslim Brotherhood militants acting under the Hamas banner, with several hundred taken hostage and moved to Gaza.

In addition to Arouri, Hamas claims two other members of their senior leadership were killed in the strike – though their identities have yet to be confirmed.

“The cowardly assassinations carried out by the Zionist occupation against the leaders and symbols of our Palestinian people inside and outside Palestine will not succeed in breaking the will and steadfastness of our people, or undermining the continuation of their valiant resistance,” Hamas said in a statement posted on Telegram. “It proves once again the abject failure of this enemy to achieve any of its aggressive goals in the Gaza Strip.”

The targeted strike comes on the heels of news the Israeli Defense Forces intend to remove several thousand troops from Gaza, marking a shift in the war from a broad military campaign to a more targeted tactical mission to continue the elimination of Hamas leadership.

Arouri was killed near the headquarters of the Iranian proxy militant group Hezbollah. The proximity of the strike to the groups headquarters has left some observers concerned it may draw Lebanon and Iran further into the Israel-Hamas war.

Judge Says Calling Drag Queens ‘Groomers’ is A Slur, Not Protected Speech.

A court in Ontario, Canada has ruled the slang term ‘groomer’ – used to describe individuals targeting young people or minors for exploitation and especially sexual activity – is not protected speech when used against drag performers who seek audiences of kids. The ruling was made as part of a defamation case against someone who allegedly called a drag performer and a LGBTQ organization “groomers”.

The court claimed there was no public interest served by the term as it was allegedly used to insinuate pedophilic behavior where there was no such evidence. The incident occurred in a small Canadian town called Dryden, a little over 200 miles north of the U.S. border-town of International Falls in Minnesota. Local blogger Brian Webster, posting on Facebook, accused a drag queen story hour hosted at a local library of being “groomers” and indicated participants were plotting to abuse children.

It is alleged violent threats made against the drag queen story hour were the result of Webster’s post, with a local LGBTQ group, Rainbow Alliance Dryden filing a defamation suit for $95,000 in punitive damages. The blogger attempted to have the defamation suit thrown out, citing Ontario Canada’s anti-Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (anti-SLAPP) laws. However, Ontario Superior Court Justice Tracey Nieckarz ruled just before Christmas the province’s anti-SLAPP statutes did not apply to Webster’s posts.

“I simply cannot find any public interest in protecting a harmful trope that associates 2SLGBTQI people with sexual predation against children,” the judge wrote in her decision. “On the other hand, there is considerable public interest in allowing individuals who are the victims of such conduct to publicly defend their reputation in a court of law.” Webster faces a second defamation suit in Thunder Bay, Canada for similar claims made in that locality as well.

POISONING THE BLOOD: Couriers Caught with 62 Pounds of Fentanyl at AZ Border, Made ‘2 to 3 Trips a Month’.

Two “cash couriers” have been indicted in Arizona on charges of conspiracy, importation, and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl after being caught with 62 pounds of the deadly synthetic drug at the Dennis DeConcini port of entry in Nogales.

Jocelinne Guadalupe Carrillo Rivera and Perla Marivy Gomez Galvez have admitted that they traveled from Phoenix to Mexico with tens of thousands of dollars for a “coordinator” two or three times a month, in exchange for a small cut of the money.

They claimed they did not know their car was being loaded up with fentanyl, responsible for 73,654 deaths in the United States in 2022 – though they confessed they suspected it was happening.

News of the indictments follows confirmation that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized 854.07 pounds of crystal meth, 164.72 pounds of speed, and 165.34 pounds of cocaine at the border in Laredo, Texas, earlier this month, highlighting the growing scale of the drugs crisis on the southern border.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump has strikingly warned that the drugs and disease flowing across the Mexican frontier amid an unprecedented migrant crisis are “poisoning the blood” of the country, earning criticism from leftist media but plaudits from voters.
