A far-left professor once hailed as “diversity’s poster boy” before his career was ruined in a massive plagiarism scandal has now ‘unexpectedly’ passed away.
As the UK Telegraph reported, scandal-plagued Cambridge University professor Jason Arday was discovered dead on Friday after resigning his position earlier this month at the school over credible allegations that he plagiarized and lied on his resume.
The paper notes that the 41-year-old Arday was found “unresponsive” in south London and later pronounced dead.
“Sadly, a 41-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by officers,” a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police told the Telegraph.
The spokesman added that Arday’s death was surprising, though not suspicious.
“At this time, his death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious. The case is being investigated by officers from the Met’s Central South Command Unit. A file will be prepared for the coroner.”
Arday was once hailed as the poster child for DEI after becoming the youngest-ever black professor at Cambridge in March of 2023.
The Guardian notes that Arday delivered a speech at the 75th-anniversary conference of the British Sociological Association, claiming that white conservative and right-wing activists have utilized a distinctive “playbook” to discredit black academics by accusing them of plagiarism and citation errors.
Arday added that this was a “cancer” that must be eradicated from academia.
A Substack post by Nathan Cofnas, a philosopher at the University of Ghent and a self-defined “race realist” who was fired by Cambridge’s Emmanuel College in 2024, claimed that Arday’s PhD thesis, titled “An exploration of peer-monitoring among student teachers’ to inform reflective practice within the context of action research”, was plagiarized after having been put through plagiarism detection software.
The Telegraph reported that analysis had found more than 100 passages in his PhD were similar to another thesis by Paula Zwozdiak-Myers, a student at Brunel University in London, published six years earlier.
In their article, titled “Cambridge’s diversity poster boy in plagiarism row,” the Telegraph cited Dave Harris, emeritus professor at Plymouth Marjon University, who had alerted Cambridge and Liverpool John Moores Universities to his concerns about plagiarism in 2023.
He is quoted as saying: “In my opinion, important sections of the work of Professor Jason Arday, both his PhD thesis and some subsequent published articles, solo and jointly written, seem to display indications of serious plagiarism. I can think of no other plausible explanation for what I have read.”
Cambridge University initially responded by saying that those accusing Arday of plagiarism were racist. Then, on August 5, they opened an investigation following the far-left Guardian’s exposé on Arday.

Barack Obama bids farewell to President Trump after his Inauguration. We now know Obama was running a coup against Trump behind the scenes at the time. Trump had no idea what Obama was doing behind the scenes to overthrow his administration. – Wikicommons photo
We are learning more and more on what transpired by top government officials including President Barack Obama to destroy and overthrow Donald Trump in 2016.
These wicked people – including Barack Obama – plotted to overthrow the sitting US President.
We have never witnessed this diabolical plot in American history until Democrat Barack Obama entered office and led the efforts to overthrow President Trump.
Now we have the proof.
So, when are we going to find out that Barack Obama was leading the Biden regime in their efforts to destroy Donald Trump after he left office, to destroy his supporters, and destroy all political norms in this country.
The US has never witnessed a crime like this before.
When will Republicans act and hold these wicked people, including Barack Obama, to account? Or, will these crimes become the norm in America moving forward?
George Papadopoulos, a victim of the Obama deep state, joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to discuss:
George Papadopoulos: Here’s the simple fact. The United States has mutual defense treaties with 52 countries on 5 continents, and one of those 52 countries is not Ukraine. Ukraine today is one of the most corrupt countries on the European continent, and it is attempting to basically morph its own conflict with the conflict that the United States is currently in, in the Persian Gulf. And that’s really why Ukraine has conducted various drone strikes against not only Russian maritime shipping bases and oil refineries, but also Iranian vessels in the Caspian Sea that were traversing, going to Russia. This has the potential now to result in a tit-for-tat in which Iran has been threatening to hit Ukraine and to suck in potentially the Europeans NATO and the United States to defend Ukraine, not only from Russia, but Iran.
And this is ultimately what Zelensky’s goal has been since day one. Continue the gravy train, eventually bring American boots on the ground, European boots on the ground, and build a collective defense treaty with a corrupt country that’s not even in the European Union. This is a strategic mistake and a blunder that the Trump administration is not seriously considering…
…You know, Steve, US strategic planning had assumed that the United States military can conduct two different operations on two different continents. And that’s really what the assumption was behind Iraq and Afghanistan. You could argue it was all part of the same region. But what we’re discussing here today and what countries like Ukraine and others are attempting to suck the United States into is a kinetic war not only against Iran, but potentially Russia and even China over the South China Sea and Taiwan simultaneously. All the while, these three countries are attempting to basically de-dollarize the world, to usurp, uh, the U.S. leadership model, the capitalist system, and replace it with a BRICS-led model and a new architecture that basically will determine the future of trade, finance, and how oil and natural gas is even traded. So I would argue that a main impetus behind this driving force that I just described was the failed sanctions policy that the Biden administration imposed on Russia after the war started. This should have never been part of the United States’ responsibility as we had to take care of our own home front. ..
Steve Bannon: Give me— we got a minute or two on this side. I’ll hold you through the break. Just your assessment of what— of the revelations you’ve seen about the coup in May of 2017, of, uh, of Round River, of everything you’ve seen since. Your name pops up a lot about the deep state’s attempt to take down and destroy President Trump.
George Papadopoulos: Yeah, nothing shocks me anymore, uh, Steve. And the moment, — the shock factor completely left me regarding this topic was last summer when then-DNI Tulsi Gabbard called what Obama and his administration and top-level Democrats did to the Trump administration, the Trump campaign, and people like you and me and others, a treasonous conspiracy.
Now, unfortunately, uh, it’s been over a year since DNI Gabbard said that, and we haven’t really had concrete results, including indictments, raids, and potential convictions of those perpetrators who were part of this treasonous conspiracy, to use DNI, ex-DNI Gabbard’s own words.
So I wasn’t shocked at all to learn that that same group of people that really evolved from the Obama administration, including the Rosensteins, the Wray, the Comeys, launched a criminal investigation against the sitting president who was their boss at the time.
And Steve, I’m gonna close on this. Why did they do this? Because they needed to cover up what Comey and Obama did and to overthrow Trump so that the United States, its citizens, and the world would never have the true story. That’s why we need to get these files out. That’s why transparency is paramount and why accountability will ensure that what Obama and Biden did in the past will never be repeated again.
Connecticut abolished the death penalty in 2012, but state power over life and death still can operate behind locked doors.
A death in the Department of Corrections (DoC) custody may occur in a cell, medical unit, hospital, transport vehicle, or restrictive-housing unit, yet the public may receive only a number rather than the facts surrounding the death.
Connecticut reported 33 DoC deaths in 2024 and nearly two dozen more in 2025, including five reported suicides in 2024. People are dying in the State of Connecticut corrections department and the public has not received a meaningful breakdown showing how many people were awaiting trial, where deaths occurred, how long each person had been held, the cause and manner of death, medication history, or the final findings of any investigation.
Without those facts, the public cannot know whether Connecticut protected people in custody or simply counted deaths afterward. A government cannot take away liberty, control every condition of confinement, and then deny the public the facts when a person dies.
Where is Attorney General William Tong? As Connecticut’s chief legal officer, Tong has general supervision over state legal matters and represents the public interest in civil matters involving the state. Has the Attorney General’s Office demanded a full accounting of each custody death, including custody status, facility, cause, medication history, toxicology, and findings? Did Connecticut detain people before trial and fail to keep them alive long enough to face a judge, jury, or a chance to go home?
Connecticut’s DoC holds those convicted and awaiting trial. The state cannot combine both populations into one death total and call that public disclosure. The populations face different risks. National data recognize the difference. The federal government separately tracks state-prison and local-jail deaths. The latest standardized data show mortality rates of 330 deaths per 100,000 people in state prisons and 167 per 100,000 in local jails.
Connecticut has not released the information required for a valid comparison. A number without those facts is not transparency. It is a shield. Connecticut ended the formal death penalty. People who have never been convicted must not disappear into a death count behind correctional walls.
The first days in DoC custody are medically dangerous. Antidepressants carry FDA boxed warnings increase suicidality. The warning establishes that an antidepressant increases risk of suicide, the FDA labeling calls for close monitoring of treatment.
People may arrive on several psychiatric drugs, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, stimulants, mood stabilizers, sleep drugs, seizure drugs, or addiction-treatment medications or traditional prescription medications that require oversight. Others face missed doses, abrupt discontinuation, withdrawal, new prescriptions, or risky combinations.
Connecticut cannot explain a custody death by citing “mental illness” or “suicide” while withholding medication records, treatment timelines, toxicology, and clinical decisions. A suicide classification identifies the manner of death; it does not answer whether medication changes, withdrawal, inadequate monitoring, or failures in care contributed.
The Conditions of Confinement Report, released January 20, 2026, concluded that DoC was operating in a state of “sustained institutional failure” and noted mental health complaints were the largest category received by the Ombuds during the reporting period highlighting psychiatric-medication management and mental health classifications.
Connecticut should publish annual record of DoC death: custody status; facility; admission date and custody length; cause; last medical, mental-health, and staff contact; psychiatric and addiction medications; medication changes and withdrawal treatment; toxicology; emergency response; restrictive-housing status; investigation findings; and corrective actions.
The barrier is public disclosure. A death count without a breakdown prevents oversight; disclosure permits scrutiny, comparison, and reform. These records should permit independent review without exposing private medical details. Aggregate totals are not enough. Families, lawmakers, journalists, and the public need consistent data that show whether deaths concentrate in particular facilities, during the first days of detention, after medication changes, or among people who awaiting trial. Connecticut can protect privacy while publishing accountability data.
It should be of interest to Connecticut taxpayers that Bansley Law LLC is paid about $800,000 annually to operate the Inmate Legal Assistance Program, or ILAP. The Correction Ombudsman found that the program received more than 1,200 complaints over two years but initiated only six litigation matters, under 1% of cases. The Ombudsman asked DoC to suspend the contract after Bansley initially refused subpoenas seeking program records and staff testimony.
Where is Attorney General William Tong on Bansley contract? Has the Attorney General’s Office reviewed the contract, performance data, subpoena dispute, Ombudsman’s findings, and legal-access needs? Does Tong support suspension, termination, reform, or renewal? Tong should state whether Connecticut has met its duty to protect people in DoC custody and account for every death. That duty applies with special force to any person who died before receiving a trial.

Drones have become the defining feature of the war in Ukraine. While Ukrainians have emerged as global leaders in drone manufacturing and deployment, the country still desperately needs advanced air defense systems to counter Russian missile strikes.
On the road from Kyiv to the front line, overhead netting covers the final 80 kilometers, designed to foil Russian fiber-optic drones. While jammers can counter signal-based UAVs, physical mesh has proven to be the cheapest defense against tethered optic drones. Although netting is now common around military installations worldwide, Ukraine may be the only country where it stretches over entire highways.
Turning off the highway into the city, the netting continues over the sidewalks, cut with large gaps so pedestrians can cross. Just a year ago, when the front line was kilometers away, the city was mostly intact and functioning. Now that fighting has crept within a few hundred meters, many homes have been destroyed and most residents have fled.
Those who remain endure relentless barrages of ordnance falling at random, spending more and more time taking shelter in cellars. Piles of sandbags ring the few remaining shops and restaurants. Their windows are boarded up, though doors stay open for business.
The explosions echo all day, but nighttime is worse. After dark, the Russians take advantage of the fact that Ukrainian soldiers struggle to spot incoming drones. The UAVs, equipped with infrared sensors, can lock onto targets as easily in pitch black as in broad daylight. For civilians, the unrelenting night barrages make sleep difficult and broken.
Exhaustion compounds the constant strain of danger and the heartache of losing loved ones, slowly grinding down the human spirit. Military personnel I spoke with noted that this is part of the Russian strategy: wear down the civilian population until the area empties out, then gradually creep forward, block by block, to occupy it.
While driving, relying on a drone detector is essential. With luck, it will give you just enough warning to pull off the road, leap from the vehicle, and dive for cover. Crossing the final stretch between the relative safety of civilian homes and the front lines, the drones become increasingly persistent, like swarms of deadly hornets hunting for a victim. But unlike insects, these flying predators carry lethal payloads: modified 40mm grenades to shred infantry, heavy RPG warheads, thermobaric charges, and even anti-tank mines capable of obliterating an armored vehicle in an instant.
After stashing our vehicles, we made our way through the cover of trees to a camouflaged hole in the ground, which opened into a tunnel that led to an underground drone unit operations center. Inside, two large computer screens tracked Russian and Ukrainian drones—one monitoring Russian troop movements, the other providing early warnings.

On the screen, Russian soldiers were clearly visible in a tree line. Although we could only spot a few of them, their movement made it obvious they weren’t a small recon team, but part of a larger assault element nearby. Watching the war unfold from this vantage point was chilling—a reminder that the Russians were watching similar feeds of the Ukrainians, and of us.
Both feeds showed chaotic drone traffic, with countless UAVs crisscrossing the skies. Explosions could be heard, some large, some small, some far, some near. Experienced soldiers, the ones who survived the longest, could tell by sound alone whether a drone was friendly or hostile, and precisely how far away it was. But for my team and me, whose combat experience was largely limited to Burma and the Middle East, these sounds were unfamiliar and indistinguishable. Taking cover was always our safest bet.
The drone unit leader told us, “The reconnaissance drones are trying to find the Russian cannons that are shooting at us. Because of their work, our artillery and drone units destroyed many cannons that were attacking this area.”
The commander explained that he had been in the army since the first Russian invasion in 2014. Describing his team, he said, “They are young guys, but they are very intelligent.” He mentioned that overnight, the Russians had blown up sixteen cars parked in front of homes. Because most of the attacks occur during the night, some members of the team stay awake overnight monitoring screens.
The soldiers showed off some of their Ukrainian drones, constructed using a combination of 3D printing and duct tape. Ukrainian forces have gained international recognition for their rapid innovation in low-cost drone production. Frontline workshops and decentralized networks rely heavily on 3D printing to manufacture custom components—such as tail fins, bomb release mechanisms, battery mounts, and casing adapters—at scale.
Additionally, field teams frequently utilize improvised materials like duct tape, electrical tape, zip ties, and PVC piping to construct light airframes, secure payloads, and execute rapid repairs directly in combat zones.
This decentralized, low-overhead approach allows Ukrainian units to rapidly adapt equipment to changing electronic warfare environments and target requirements. However, while these low-cost systems are deployed extensively, Ukraine’s defense sector also manufactures advanced military-grade UAVs, including long-range strike platforms and specialized reconnaissance systems built with composite materials and hardened electronics.
As the commander summarized, “This war has become a war of technology. It is less about small arms fire. It is our technology against theirs.”
Drones are crucial to Ukraine’s military effort because they provide an asymmetric cost advantage, allowing low-cost platforms to destroy armored vehicles, artillery systems, and infantry positions. Drones compensate for artillery ammunition shortages by delivering precise kinetic strikes on targets. They offer real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), enabling commanders to monitor troop movements and coordinate fire support. Long-range strike drones also allow Ukraine to attack logistics hubs, energy infrastructure, and military facilities behind the front lines.
However, drones cannot secure victory on their own due to operational and physical limitations. Tactical drones carry small explosive payloads, such as modified grenades or RPG warheads, which lack the blast yield required to destroy heavy fortifications or clear minefields. Drones are vulnerable to adverse weather conditions, including rain, high winds, and low visibility, as well as electronic warfare jamming that interrupts control signals and GPS navigation.
Furthermore, drones cannot occupy or hold territory, which requires infantry, ground armor, and combined-arms operations. Finally, tactical UAVs cannot intercept incoming ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, or glide bombs, leaving heavy air defense systems necessary to protect infrastructure and military positions.
The soldiers needed to return to their screens as Russian activity picked up. Before leaving, we prayed with the team and asked what was on their hearts. The leader replied, “We pray for our country, that we will not lose our sovereignty, and we pray for our people.”
In the latest college madness Campus Reform is reporting “Oregon State University requires undergraduate students who enrolled in summer 2025 or later to complete two “Difference, Power & Oppression” (DPO) courses as part of its Core Education curriculum.”
In other words, as far as Oregon State is concerned, they remain a woke outpost of political correctness.
This insane course is focused on WOKE indoctrination.
“In addition to “difference, power, and oppression,” participants in the DPO Academy learn about “feminist and critical pedagogies” and “fundamentals of curriculum transformation.”
Its yet to be explained how oppression and feminist studies help advance a student’s education and prepare them for the workforce.
The reason they give for requiring these courses is even more outrageous.
“The inequitable distribution of social, economic, and political power in the United States and globally is sustained through systems of oppression, which represent a variety of discriminatory institutional beliefs and practices,” the description states. “These beliefs and practices obscure the origins and operations of systemic oppression in daily life, such that this inequitable power distribution is assumed to be the natural order.”
In other words, they wish to indoctrinate students with the lie that America is evil and systemically racist.
“Such examinations will enhance and promote responsible, ethical, and anti-racist engagement in our diverse university community and society in the United States and beyond,” the description continues.”
This is hardly connected to basic reading and math and job skills.
Courses that count toward the requirement include “Antiracism and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Practice,” “Disney: Gender, Race, Empire,” “Inventing Ethnic America,” “Biological and Cultural Constructions of Race,” and “Higher Education Goes Hollywood: Racial Narratives and Student Experiences.”
This is total nonsense and shows that, sadly, Woke remains strong and intact on many campuses throughout America.
“The description of “Antiracism and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Practice” states that students will gain “awareness and knowledge of systemic racism alongside skills related to antiracist advocacy to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in practice.”
Students are paying a crazy amount to be brainwashed by leftist radical professors who complain about America and see race everywhere.
“Oregon State estimates that the total cost of attendance is $38,568 for state residents and $65,013 for nonresidents. The estimates include tuition, fees, housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.”
Oregon State is not even the only example of woke indoctrination gone amok. This has been offered at a number of other schools as well. Wokeness must be erased from academia entirely.
A Democrat Massachusetts mayor was arrested and charged on Friday with fraudulently obtaining over $1.5 million in Covid business loans.
The Mayor of Lawrence, Massachusetts, Brian Depena, used the proceeds from Covid small-business loans to fund his campaign, pay his personal taxes and pay off nearly $900,000 in high-interest, hard-money mortgages on his properties, according to the Department of Justice.
According to the charging documents during the pandemic back in 2020 and 2021, Depena applied for a taxpayer-funded Covid-era Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) for his tire business.
The EIDL loans must be used as working capital to provide relief to businesses that suffered economic losses during Covid.
However, Depena used the Covid loans to fund his struggling campaign, pay off two high-interest mortgages, and pay back taxes.
Depena allegedly caused Tenares Tire to apply for and obtain an EIDL in the amount of $150,000 in June 2020 and then used the majority of those funds as working capital for the business. However, according to the charging documents, Depena needed cash by early 2021. It is alleged that his mayoral campaign was struggling to pay bills, he owed the IRS for back taxes and he owed almost $900,000 to two private, hard money lenders who were charging Depena 12% and 8% interest – significantly more than the EIDL rate of 3.75% – on loans that encumbered various properties Depena owned in Lawrence.
In April 2021, Depena allegedly caused a request for an increase of the Tenares Tire EIDL. On July 14, 2021, the SBA approved an increase of the loan by $350,000, bringing the total Tenares Tire EIDL to $500,000. However, the SBA did not release the funds for another month. While waiting, Depena allegedly sent the following texts (originally in Spanish, here translated to English) to his accountant and financial advisor, who had been assisting Depena with the EIDL application and modification.
Brian Depena texts
According to the charging documents, the $350,000 in EIDL funds were electronically deposited into the Tenares Tire bank account on Aug. 16, 2021. The pre-deposit balance in the account was only $20.23. Shortly thereafter, Depena allegedly paid $85,000 of the EIDL funds to the IRS to pay off personal tax debts. He also allegedly transferred $120,000 of the EIDL funds to a personal account and used that money to write checks totaling $90,000 to “The Committee to Elect Brian Depena.” It is alleged that these checks were deposited in the Depena mayoral campaign account, and characterized as loans to the campaign, in September and October 2021.
While the hard money, high-interest loans were still outstanding, and while his campaign continued to struggle financially, Depena allegedly caused a request for a second EIDL modification in October 2021. On Oct. 27, 2021, the SBA approved a modification that would increase the loan by $1,154,400, bringing the total Tenares Tire EIDL to $1,654,400.
On Nov. 30, 2021, $1,154,188 in EIDL funds were electronically deposited in the Tenares Tire account and Depena allegedly transferred the entire amount to one of his personal accounts – which had a balance of only $1,401 – the same day. It is alleged that Depena allegedly used $42,112.96 of the EIDL funds for his mayoral campaign, writing checks to the campaign for $10,000 and $32,112.96. The first check was deposited in the campaign account on Dec. 2, 2021, when the account allegedly had been overdrawn for approximately 20 days.
Finally, it is alleged that Depena used $883,293 of the EIDL funds to pay off his debts to the hard money lenders. On Dec. 9, 2021, Depena bought a $538,109.03 treasurer’s check and used it to pay off one of the loans. On Dec. 18, 2021, he bought a $345,184.13 treasurer’s check and used it to pay off the other loan.
According to the charging documents, as of Aug. 5, 2026, Depena had made only 16 payments on the Tenares Tire EIDL. The outstanding principal balance was approximately $1,654,420.
“Today, the FBI arrested Mayor Brian Depena for allegedly cashing in on a public health crisis and blatantly defrauding a government program meant to keep businesses afloat during the pandemic. It’s alleged the Mayor fraudulently obtained over $1.5 million in small business loans which he then used as his own slush fund to pay his personal taxes, fund his mayoral campaign, and pay off $883,000 in high-interest mortgages on several properties he owned. This was emergency financial assistance meant to be a safety net for struggling businesses, not Mr. Depena’s own personal ATM,” said Ted E. Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston Division.
“When elected officials misuse federal funds for personal gain, they’re breaking the trust of their constituents – and breaking the law. Together, with our partners, the FBI will continue to doggedly pursue anyone who defrauds the federal government. You’ll be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and that ‘easy money’ won’t seem so easy after all,” Docks added.
On Friday, President Donald Trump announced the release and return of Christian Missionary Kevin Rideout who was taken hostage in 2024 by Jihadi terrorists.
Rideout, who worked with SIM International (Serving in Mission), a global evangelical organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
He had been serving in Niger for about 19 years, primarily as a pilot flying passengers, equipment, supplies, aid workers, and medical support across the region.
On October 21, 2025, he was abducted by three armed men outside his home in Niamey’s Plateau neighborhood and taken toward the western Tillaberi region, a known hotspot for militant activity involving groups linked to al-Qaeda affiliates and Islamic State-related factions.
While no group publicly claimed responsibility for the kidnapping, specific details about his exact captors or conditions during the more than nine months of captivity remained murky.
SIM International issued a statement confirming the release, expressing gratitude: “We are grateful to confirm that our good friend and brother in Christ, Kevin Rideout, has been released after over nine months in captivity.”
“He was kidnapped from outside his home in Niamey, Niger on the 21st of October, 2025.”
“Kevin is in good health in the care of US officials. He will soon be reunited with Krista, his children, and his extended family.”
“Krista and the rest of Kevin’s family are profoundly grateful for the prayers offered on their behalf by people around the world throughout his captivity, and in particular for the deep level of prayer and support offered by our SIM family.”
“We ask that you respect the privacy of the family while they reconnect after this time apart.”
“Please join us in giving thanks to the Lord for this incredibly good news!”
President Trump also shared the news of Rideout’s release on TruthSocial.
“I am proud to announce that Kevin Rideout, a wonderful Christian Missionary, is back in United States Custody.”
“Kevin was kidnapped by Jihadi terrorists in West Africa — The epicenter of Islamist terrorism, where there have been more deadly attacks in the past year than anywhere else on Earth.”
“Kevin, the United States of America looks forward to welcoming you HOME. Glad to have helped! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Sleeping with the Enemy.
SPLC executive hated racists so much that she started sleeping with one and paid his bills.
Who knew that being a top racist could get you such sweet perks?
You can’t make this up.
As reported earlier, former Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) CFO Heidi Beirich was arrested in California and hit with fraud charges on Wednesday.
Beirich oversaw the payments to the informants inside the KKK and other white supremacist groups receiving money from the SPLC.
Here is Heidi speaking out against the dangerous hate groups in America, from the AP archives.
Heidi was so upset about the dangerous racists that she started sleeping with one racist and paid his rent.
According to Grok: F-9 was affiliated with the neo-Nazi National Alliance and worked as an SPLC informant for more than 20 years. At the SPLC’s direction, F-9 infiltrated the group. While receiving secret payments, F-9 also fundraised for the National Alliance and helped it carry out its activities.
Beirich paid F-9 more than $1.2 million in donor funds (most funneled through a shell account called “Tech Writers”). The broader informant program is alleged to have involved over $4 million total across multiple sources.
The indictment states Beirich (identified earlier as “Employee-2,” the person who became Director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project) oversaw payments to F-9. It further alleges she and F-9 were in a romantic relationship, shared a house and two bank accounts, and that roughly $140,000 of the donor money deposited into those joint accounts (about 66% of all deposits there between 2015 and 2021) was used for their personal living expenses.
The SPLC led donors to believe their donations would be used to “dismantle” racist groups… Or, maybe not.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday that there would be “more announcements coming next week” about new “measures” against Iran. While Bessent did not name specifics, he said that the moves next week “will be a combination of economic isolation like the world has never seen before, and the continued blockade in the Strait of Hormuz that will keep anything from going in or out of the Iranian ports.”
Vice President J.D. Vance also said Thursday that keeping oil and gas prices low for Americans is now “goal number one” for the White House.
A spokesperson for Iran’s parliament committee on internal affairs said Friday that the “general outline” of a “strategic action plan to ensure the security and progress of the Strait of Hormuz” had been approved. Under the plan, reported by Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, vessels belonging to the U.S., Israel, and other countries Iran designates as “hostile” would be barred from transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
Kpler recorded 9 and 13 confirmed crossings through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively .
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln would return home from its Middle East deployment, to be replaced with the USS George Washington. The announcement comes after multiple U.S. sailors reportedly attempted to jump overboard, families of servicemembers told Military Times on Wednesday. Stars and Stripes separately reported Tuesday an incident in which sailors described intervening to prevent a crew member from jumping overboard. The Lincoln has been deployed for over 250 days.
Israel intensified its bombing campaign of southern Lebanon, with demolitions and air strikes reported by Lebanese media.
The price of Brent Crude oil was $88 per barrel on Friday. AAA recorded the national average price of regular gas at $4.08 per gallon.
