Month: June 2024

As the war situation gets more difficult by the day, and against the background of his expired Presidential mandate in May, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has his reasons to be worried about being driven out of power the hard way.

To prevent this outcome, the embattled leader is ordering a complete purge of the Department of State Protection, after members were arrested on suspicion of plotting assassinations.

Reuters reported:

“President Volodymyr Zelensky told the new chief of Ukraine’s state guard service to clear its ranks of people discrediting it after two of its officers were accused of plotting to assassinate senior officials.

The state security service (SBU) said last month that it had caught two guard service colonels accused of cooperating with Russia to plot the assassination of Zelensky and other officials, including military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov.

The guard service provides security for various government officials.”

When introducing the new head of the Department Colonel Oleksiy Morozov, Zelensky said his main task was ‘to ensure that only those who see their future tied with Ukraine join the agency’.

These were his first comments since the agents were arrested.

“‘And, of course, the agency must be cleared of anyone who chooses not Ukraine for themselves or discredits the state guard service’, he said on Telegram.”

Zelensky lost a good deal of popularity since the start of the war, and increasingly more so after dismissing his main political rival, General Valery Zaluzhny, from the position of Commander in Chief.

Add to that the fact that his mandate has expired and he is ruling out of Martial law powers, and you have an explosive situation.

Back in May, Ukrainian SBU arrested two colonels in the state guard service, accused of plotting the assassination of Zelensky and other top officials – and after that, the head of the State Guards was also dismissed.

A bankruptcy trustee on Sunday filed an emergency motion to shut down Infowars and Alex Jones’ parent company Free Speech Systems and liquidate its assets to pay the Sandy Hook families.

Earlier this month a federal judge ordered the liquidation of Alex Jones’ personal assets.

Judge Christopher Lopez approved Alex Jones’ request to convert a Chapter 11 business reorganization bankruptcy to a Chapter 7 personal bankruptcy.

However, a couple of weeks ago the judge dismissed the bankruptcy reorganization of Infowars and its parent company Free Speech Systems.

Legal experts said the Sandy Hook families could go back to the bankruptcy court and demand Alex Jones liquidate his company to pay off the Sandy Hook debt.

On Sunday the bankruptcy trustee said intends to conduct an “orderly wind down” of Alex Jones’ media company.

The New York Post reported:

In an “emergency” motion filed Sunday in Houston, trustee Christopher Murray indicated publicly for the first time that he intends to “conduct an orderly wind-down” of the operations of Infowars’ parent company and “liquidate its inventory.”

Murray, who was appointed by a federal judge to oversee the assets in Jones’ personal bankruptcy case, did not give a timetable for the liquidation.

Jones has been saying on his web and radio shows that he expects Infowars to operate for a few more months before it is shut down because of the bankruptcy.

Murray also asked US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez to put an immediate hold on the Sandy Hook families’ efforts to collect the massive amount Jones owes them. Murray said those efforts would interfere with his plans to close the parent company, Free Speech Systems in Austin, Texas, and sell off its assets — with much of the proceeds going to the families.

In December 2022 Alex Jones filed for personal bankruptcy protection in a Texas court after the Sandy Hook verdict.

A Connecticut judge previously ordered Alex Jones to pay an additional $473 million to Sandy Hook families, Reuters reported.

This is in addition to the $1 billion Alex Jones was ordered to pay for questioning the Sandy Hook shooting.

The Gateway Pundit reported that London’s leftist Mayor Sadiq Khan, Khan known for his ties to Islamism and far-left rhetoric, won a third term in office in May.

Now, Khan’s Transport for London (TfL) has imposed a ‘woke’ ban on London’s taxi drivers, warning them against flying an England flag during the UEFA European Football Championship (the Euros) or face serious penalties, including losing their black cab license.

TfL bosses used the excuse that flying the St George’s Cross could be ‘distracting’ and possibly cause road accidents.

Brexit champion Nigel Farage, who recently announced he will stand to be a Reform party MP, is not buying the excuse.

Farage said on X, “Khan really hates England.”

Drivers have slammed the new rule suggesting the flags are no more distracting than advertisements painted on cars and that the decision is another bow to the woke crowd concerned that a display of English pride will offend minorities.

Black cab driver Fred Perkins told The Sun,  “It’s nonsense. It’s all coming down from Khan at the top, because he’s ultimately in charge.”

Adding, “Our society has really gone woke when we can’t fly a little flag for England for the Euros. Loads of drivers used to have flags on their cabs in years gone by.”

Per The Sun:

David Lawrie, director of the National Private Hire Association cabbies’ organization, which represents hundreds of London drivers, said: “Khan should not have put this rule in place.

“It’s woke mentality. Is it because some people view the England flag as offensive?

“There are St George’s flags on private hire vehicles in Manchester, so why can’t drivers fly them in London?

Under England-hating Sadiq Khan’s mayorship, London taxi drivers are now banned from displaying ENGLISH FLAGS during the Euros.

Transport for London bosses, handpicked by Khan himself, have claimed the flag could “distract” other drivers — what? Unlike those clown pride… pic.twitter.com/tdGiPKL7Wt

Taxi drivers banned from flying St George’s flag in case it ‘distracts motorists’…you just know this would never happen if it was the pride flag. Or the Palestinian flag. Classic Sadiq Khan’s TfL.

In a Sunday interview with Israel’s conservative Channel 14, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he will not accept a ceasefire deal that ends the war in Gaza, dashing the possibility that Biden’s ceasefire proposal would be accepted. 

The Israeli prime minister, however, still said that he would still be interested in a “partial deal” for the release of hostages, while still allowing fighting to continue. Netanyahu also announced that the “intense phase” of the current Gaza conflict will end soon. 

The announcement comes at a ticklish political moment in Israeli politics. Netanyahu has received criticism after an Israeli defense official alleged that Netanyahu would only agree to such a deal if it polls well. Netanyahu is also facing pressure from sources unrelated to the Gaza war. Today, an inquiry conducted by a state commission into the “submarine affair” released a scathing statement alleging that Netanyahu acted without the necessary staff work or oversight in making significant defense decisions. An earlier Netanyahu government had acquired several submarines from the German company ThyssenKrupp without going through the normal consultation processes with the Israeli defense establishment. The defense establishment considered the subs to be unnecessary for Israeli security, and their acquisition was mired with allegations of bribery. For his part, Netanyahu has stated that they were part of a necessary deterrent against Iran.

Hunter Biden on Monday requested a new gun trial after a jury returned a guilty verdict.

Hunter’s lawyers last week filed a motion for a new gun trial but they withdrew it without explanation.

Jurors earlier this month returned a verdict in Hunter Biden’s criminal gun trial after three hours of deliberations.

GUILTY OF ALL THREE FELONIES!

Hunter Biden is facing 25 years in prison.

Fox News reported:

Attorneys for Hunter Biden re-submitted a motion requesting a new criminal trial after the first son was found guilty on all charges related to his purchase of a firearm in 2018.

Biden’s defense attorney Abbe Lowell filed the motion Monday, arguing the federal court in Delaware lacked jurisdiction to go to trial earlier this month. The motion comes one week after Lowell filed a similar motion, but quickly withdrew it without explanation.

Biden was found guilty on June 11 of lying about his drug use when purchasing a firearm in 2018. Specifically, he was found guilty on three charges: making a false statement in the purchase of a gun, making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer, and possession of a gun by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.

Hunter Biden declined to testify at his felony gun trial.

In September Hunter Biden was indicted on federal gun charges. He was indicted in a Delaware court on three counts related to his possession of a firearm while using drugs.

Prosecutors proved that Hunter Biden was smoking crack when he purchased a firearm in 2018.

According to text messages sent to Hallie Biden, Hunter Biden set up a drug deal with “Mookie” one day after he illegally purchased his gun on October 12, 2018.

One day after purchasing his gun on Oct. 12, 2018, Hunter Biden sets up a drug deal with “Mookie” at the 7/11 on Greenhill and Lancaster.

The Gateway Pundit reported back in October 2020 that Hunter’s then-lover and deceased brother’s widow Hallie Biden tossed the gun in the trash. Hunter admitted this in an online conversation with his family when they accused him of inappropriate conduct in front of a child.

Former President Donald Trump has called on Joe Biden to take a drug test before Thursday’s CNN debate.

Trump said that he would immediately agree to take one as well.

In a post to Truth Social, Trump wrote:

“DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!”

While speaking at a rally in Racine, Wisconsin, last Tuesday, Trump implied that he believes Biden might take cocaine before the debate.

“Joe Biden doesn’t have a clue. Now we’re gonna watch– is anybody gonna watch the debate? He’s gonna be so pumped up, he’s gonna be pumped up. You know all that stuff that was missing about a month ago from the White House? What happened?” Trump said.

TRUMP: BIDEN DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE

“Joe Biden doesn’t have a clue.

Is anybody going to watch the debate?

He’s going to be so pumped up.

You know all that stuff that was missing about a month ago from the White House? What happened? Who left it?

Trump appeared to get off track a bit, beginning to discuss Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” before going back to the drugs.

“Who left it? Somebody left it. I wonder, let’s see. Somebody left the laptop in an office of a gentleman who was supposed to fix the laptop from hell,” Trump said. “He never picked it up, and somebody didn’t pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cocaine. I wonder who that could’ve been.”

“I don’t know—actually, I think it was Joe. Ha-ha,” Trump told the crowd.

According to a Quinnipiac University survey released at the end of May, a 72 percent majority of likely voters said it is “likely” that they will watch the first presidential debate.

“Get out the popcorn, pull up a chair, it is must see TV and if the past is any indication, the gloves will likely come off early and often,” said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.

The second debate will be hosted by ABC News in September. The network has not yet announced moderators for that debate.

James O’Keefe confronted Michael Giordano, the senior VP at Walt Disney who admitted to discriminatory hiring practices against white men.

Things got super awkward after two different undercover journalists who *dated* Michael Giordano also confronted him.

Both journalists left the scene as James O’Keefe entered the stage to confront Giordano.

Recall that O’Keefe Media Group last Thursday released an undercover video of the Senior Vice President at The Walt Disney Company detailing discriminatory hiring practices.

The senior VP told OMG’s undercover journalist that Disney is not considering any white men for the job.

“Nobody else is going to tell you this, but they’re not considering any white males for the job,” says Michael Giordano, a Vice President of Business affairs, “there’s no way we’re hiring a white male.”

Giordano revealed Disney uses “code words and buzzwords” to avoid legal action and even mentions a candidate being rejected for not looking black enough. Giordano also admitted Disney gives bonuses to executives for practicing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), agreeing that “diversity helps with financial incentives.”

“We wanted to hire somebody in the department a few years ago now, who was half black but didn’t like appear half black. And there was a creative executive who was like, ‘Were not, that’s not, that’s no what’s wanted,’” Giordano said. “They wanted somebody in meetings who would appear a certain way and he wasn’t gonna bring that to the meeting.”

The Disney VP said there will be a lawsuit at some point over the company’s discriminatory hiring practices.

Some of the possible ‘code words’ or ‘buzz words’: “They might say something like, ‘We’re not looking for the usual suspects for the job so it’s not like a legally actionable thing. But everybody knows what it means.”

Or, “I’m looking to hire writers and actors who bring diversity. I’m not looking to bring on any more clients who are white.”

Michael Giordano also told OMG’s reporter that he has been denied promotions due to his race.

Lauren Boebert, the firebrand Republican Congresswoman from Colorado, has been at the center of numerous controversies that threaten to overshadow her political career. From public altercations to controversial remarks, Boebert’s actions have drawn significant media attention and criticism from both sides of the aisle.

Recently, Boebert found herself under investigation following an alleged physical altercation with her ex-husband at a restaurant in Colorado. This incident is just one in a series of personal and professional scandals that have plagued her tenure in Congress. Boebert has denied the allegations and expressed her intent to take legal action against what she claims are false accusations.

Boebert’s controversial behavior is not new. She has a history of making inflammatory remarks, including tweeting the location of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the January 6th Capitol riots. This act led to calls for her resignation from various groups who accused her of endangering Pelosi’s life.

Her public image took another hit when she was removed from a Denver theater for disruptive behavior during a performance of “Beetlejuice.” The incident, which included accusations of inappropriate behavior, prompted Boebert to issue public apologies and adjust her campaign strategy to mitigate the fallout.

Boebert’s divisive actions have also included making Islamophobic jokes about her colleagues, specifically targeting Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Her comments have been widely condemned and have further alienated some members of her party and constituents.

Despite the controversies, Boebert continues to maintain a strong base of support among her conservative followers, who appreciate her outspoken stance on issues like gun rights and her opposition to COVID-19 restrictions. However, these scandals have undoubtedly strained her broader appeal and raised questions about her suitability for public office.

The Republican party faces a dilemma in addressing Boebert’s behavior. While her actions energize a segment of the base, they also risk alienating moderate voters and undermining the party’s credibility. Balancing support for free speech and responsible conduct is crucial as the party navigates these challenges.

As Boebert gears up for her re-election campaign in a new district, she must confront the growing scrutiny and criticism. Her ability to weather these storms will be a significant test of her political resilience and the extent of her support among voters.

A pre-dawn FBI raid on the home of US Marine and Proud Boy, James Brett

 

Last week on Inside J6, we discussed certain GOP House members who moved to delegitimize the J6 Sham Committee, which would ultimately rescind the subpoenas that are being used to lock up Donald Trump associates Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.  The proposal is being led by Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), and Eric Burlison (R-MO) and has at least 21 Republican co-sponsors.

You can read the article from The Gateway Pundit on this proposal, that would not require Senate approval, here.

We also discussed Representative Matt Gaetz, who signed on as a co-sponsor in the above-mentioned proposal, suggesting that Congress could also use a 5-member vote from an entity called the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group, or “the BLAG.”  This is a group made up of the Speaker, both party leaders, and both party whips.  The Republicans have a 3-2 majority in this group.  Rep. Gaetz explains this process in this episode of Inside J6.

We also gave an unfortunate update about J6er Julio Baquero, who tragically lost his battle with Stage IV cancer on Father’s Day, leaving behind a wife and three children.  You can support Julio’s family with their exorbitant legal fees, medical costs, and funeral expenses by donating here.

In this Inside J6 Exclusive Interview, I sat down with Proud Boys member James Brett to discuss his experience in DC on January 6th and his struggle since, including a pre-dawn FBI raid.  This is one of the most heartbreaking interviews I’ve done thus far on Inside J6.
