Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel: FBI informant
October 20th, 2023Via: Insider:
Peter Thiel has worn many hats over the years: Silicon Valley founder, Trump megadonor, cryptocurrency booster, democracy skeptic.
But there is yet another facet to Thiel, one that has remained secret until now: FBI informant.
…
Johnson said that he told Thiel that by offering the FBI a window into his contacts with foreign governments, he could demonstrate his loyalty to the United States.
He described Thiel’s motivation for working with Buma as a kind of hedge in an environment where extravagant wealth no longer affords the safety it used to. He pointed to ProPublica’s reporting on Thiel’s income-tax avoidance and the death of Jeffrey Epstein, who had reportedly scheduled several meetings with Thiel.
“I told him to join up or get crushed,” Johnson said.

“If I Don’t Make it Back Alive…”: A Closer Look at the Armed Man (Disguised as a U.S. Marshal) Who Demanded a Meeting with RFK, Jr.
October 18th, 2023The extremely strange case involving Adrian Paul Aispuro and RFK, Jr.
Via: Courageous Discourse:
By reducing the original charges to a misdemeanor for unlawfully carrying loaded weapons in a public place and releasing him on only $10,000 bail before he has been evaluated by a psychiatrist, the Los Angeles District Attorney is signaling to the public that he isn’t interested in this case. Why not? Does the DA’s office presume to know that Aispuro posed no danger to Kennedy and those in his environment? If so, based on what information?
Currently, the criminal proceedings in this case are suspended following defense counsel’s declaration that the defendant lacks sufficient mental competence to understand the nature of the alleged offense and the proceedings against him. However, it is clear that diminished mental competence does not necessarily make a man less dangerous. On the contrary, many assassins in history were motivated by passionate political and personal convictions combined with mental health issues.
U.S. $100 Billion Foreign Aid Package, Including Money for Israel and Ukraine (Mostly Ukraine)
October 18th, 2023Via: ABC:
The Biden administration is drafting a $100 billion foreign aid package that includes assistance for Israel as well as other top security priorities, according to two people familiar with the details.
Details on the spending request were still being finalized ahead of an official request sent by the White House to Congress this week.
One person told ABC News that the “bulk” of the assistance will likely go toward Ukraine, while others also said that it included $10 billion for Israel. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss details that hadn’t been announced yet by the White House.
Former Head of U.S. Government UFO Program Confirms Government Possesses Advanced Craft of Unknown Origin
October 18th, 2023I really need to be careful about making jokes on here: “Couldn’t they just roll with the UFO thing a bit longer?”
Flash forward a few days and the CIA limited hangout UFO disclosure team is back with more tidbits, titillation and obfuscation.
This is long, excruciating and mostly a waste of time. George Knapp sums it up when he says, “I know that people in UFO world will be listening to this pulling their hair out.”
Yep.
Via: Liberation Times:
In a new interview, Dr. James Lacatski, who headed a prior U.S. government investigation into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), affirmed that the U.S. government possesses a craft of unknown origin and has access to its interior.

GAZA: STRIKE ON HOSPITAL KILLS HUNDREDS
October 17th, 2023Update: ‘No crater or obvious shrapnel pattern consistent with IAF JDAM/Mk80 series bombs visible.
Via: Daily Mail:
RUSI aerial warfare analyst Justin Bronk agreed with Hagari’s statements.
He wrote: ‘No crater or obvious shrapnel pattern consistent with IAF JDAM/Mk80 series bombs visible.
‘Still not conclusive but if this is the extent of the damage I’d say an airstrike looks less likely than a rocket failure causing an explosion and fuel fire.’
Joel Rayburn, director of the American Center for Levant Studies, said: ‘There is no bomb crater here and nowhere near the destruction that would be required to cause (hundreds of deaths).
‘The initial reports of an airstrike that allegedly killed hundreds of people are not plausible given this physical scene.’
Former UN war crimes investigator Marc Garlasco concurred: ‘Whatever hit the hospital in Gaza it wasn’t an airstrike. Even the smallest JDAM leaves a 3m crater. Widespread surface damage and total lack of cratering inconsistent with an airstrike,’ he concluded.

Israel Evacuates Residents Of 28 Towns Near Lebanese Border As Hezbollah Attacks Increase
October 17th, 2023Via: ZeroHedge:
At this point, exchanges of fire between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and militants in south Lebanon, especially Hezbollah, have become a daily occurrence – and yet still a full assault from Hezbollah has been avoided. Many analysts have speculated that Israel could be holding off its expected major ground invasion of Gaza precisely to avoid provoking a ‘northern front’ from opening up.
But there are continuing signs the situation is sliding toward that feared two-front scenario, as the IDF has initiated a plan to evacuate all civilians who live within two kilometers of the Lebanese border. They said the repeat rocket and mortar fire make it necessary, also in preparation for potential greater military action.
The country’s National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA) will oversee transferring of Israeli civilians to state-funded guesthouses. In total a whopping 28 towns and communities will be evacuated.
Rumors About Ammo…
October 17th, 2023I’m hearing some possibly weird things about ammo availability that I’m not able to verify at the moment.
However, if you have been noticing what’s happening to 5.56×45…
I found 32 lots of Winchester M855 FMJ 800 rounds for $440 on Lucky Gunner.
I have no affiliate or any other relationship with Lucky Gunner. I’d just rather see you guys get what’s left than anyone else.
Have a nice day.
Israeli Merkava Tanks Appear With ‘Cope Cage’ Armor
October 16th, 2023Via: The Warzone:
Israeli Merkava tanks have emerged with metal armor screens on top of their turrets as the country continues to prepare for a major ground assault into the Gaza Strip. The Russian military was the first to employ this kind of add-on armor, often derisively referred to as “cope cages,” on tanks and other armored vehicles. It has now become a fixture on both sides of the conflict in Ukraine, primarily to provide extra protection against drones, one of the many threats Israel’s forces will also face in Gaza.
The first Merkavas to be seen sporting their own cope cage-like armor appeared in images of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) massing in the southern end of the country around Gaza in the past day or so.
