  1. In 2019 Viktor Shokin Tried to Travel to US but State Department Blocked Him from Entering to Testify – He Was Later Poisoned that Year After Joe Biden Entered the US Presidential Race
    By Jim Hoft Aug. 5, 2023 8:00 am111 Comments

    On Friday afternoon MazeMoore released video of Viktor Shokin speaking to a reporter in 2020.

    Viktor told the interviewer that in January of 2019, he tried to travel to the United States. He says he had been here three times previously. He also said he has children and grandchildren that live here.

    The State Department blocked his entry. This was while Trump was president.

    Even back in 2019, the State Department was working against Trump.

    In September of 2019 Shokin suffered cardiac arrest and almost died. He claims that tests show he was poisoned during a trip to Greece.

    As The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday…

    Back in 2019 after his firing, Viktor Shokin was allegedly poisoned on a trip to Greece. Shokin later in February 2020 accused Joe Biden of being involved in the poisoning. This poisoning took place as Joe Biden was entering the presidential race.

    Biden entered the race in April 2019.

    Via Interfax Ukraine from December 5, 2020 after the US presidential election.

    This is why Shokin is appealing to Zelensky, the lawyer said.

    “Shokin prepared an appeal to the president with a request to ensure the protection of the rights and interests as a citizen of Ukraine in this criminal proceeding and bring those responsible to justice for the systematic failure to execute court decisions in criminal proceedings according to his statements,” the lawyer said.

    He also added that there is every reason to provide Shokin with protection in connection with the information published by him about Biden’s pressure.

    “Shokin’s life could be in danger. The Ukrainian state should initiate protection through law enforcement agencies. …We believe that today there are enough grounds for this,” the lawyer said.

    As reported, on February 27, the SBI registered a criminal proceeding about pressure on Shokhin by former U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden. The reason for the pressure was the investigation by the PGO of serious crimes in the field of international corruption related to the activities of ex-Minister of Ecology of Ukraine Mykola Zlochevsky and the leaders of the Burisma company. The case was opened under Part 2 of Article 343.

    The lawyer of U.S. President Donald Trump Rudolf Giuliani in a number of interviews announced the intervention of the former vice president in Ukrainian politics and participation in corruption cases. In particular, he claims that Shokin was fired at the request of Biden – ostensibly for his knowledge of Burisma’s ties with his son Hunter Biden.

    At the end of January 2020, Shokin stated that he had been poisoned with mercury five months ago during his stay in Greece, after which he underwent a long period of treatment.

    “I don’t have any obvious enemies whom I can blame for this. Of course, one of the versions, but this version requires investigation, is that Biden was somehow involved in some way in these issues. I officially addressed the Greek law enforcement authorities on this and asked them to investigate… Officially, I haven’t received an answer yet, although I contacted them quite a while back about opening criminal proceedings in connection a premeditated attempt to murder me,” Shokin said.

  2. Watch: Former Disney Star Declares ‘I’m Pro-Life’ After Learning Truth About Abortion Industry’s ‘Propaganda’
    By Anthony Gonzalez, The Western Journal Aug. 5, 2023 8:45 am146 Comments

    Former Hollywood actress Leigh-Allyn Baker, known for her role as Amy Duncan in the Disney TV series “Good Luck Charlie,” recently detailed her journey to becoming a pro-lifer.

    “My stance used to be that I believed the propaganda that was given by the media,” the actress told Christine Yeargin, host of the “Speak Out” podcast.

    “It was nothing that I would ever do myself, … but I kind of fell in line with the idea that a bunch of men in Washington, D.C., don’t have the right to make that decision for our bodies,” Baker said.

    “And then I started learning more about the actual process of it. And I started learning more about how the baby actually does feel pain and moves away from the needle and the brutality of the actual experience for the child. And the fact that that is a child,” she continued.

  3. South Africa: Armed Hero Farmer Killed Defending Wife and Kids – Elon Musk Charges NYT with “Supporting Genocide”
    By Richard Abelson Aug. 5, 2023 10:00 am39 Comments

    There have been 2 farm murders in South Africa in the week since radical Marxist leader Julius Malema called to „Kill the Boer“ in front of approx. 90.000 supporters last Saturday. The world’s most famous South African Elon Musk accused the New York Times of “supporting calls for genocide“.

    Hero Farmer Duane Smith sacrificed his life to save his wife Ingrid and two girls, aged 8 and 10, when they were attacked on their farm in Randfontein outside Johannesburg as they arrived home Thursday night, Aug. 3. Duane took five bullets to the chest and died standing up, defending his family with a legal firearm.

    As they were driving home in the family truck, two attackers armed with AK-47s were waiting for them, recounts YouTuber Willem Petzer. “A terrifying assault ensued as the attackers started firing at the family’s truck. With unyielding determination, Duane immediately got out of the

  7. Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson Gives Game Away on Trump Prosecution: “We’re going to break you, humiliate you, defeat you at the ballot box, shatter your movement You’ll spend your sorry last years weeping in a lonely prison cell”
    By Kristinn Taylor Aug. 5, 2023 12:20 pm0 Comments

    President Trump has a way is sussing out his opponents like no other since Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols. One simple post on Truth Social on Friday set off the rabid attack dogs in Jack Smith’s office and online. Trump posted in all caps, “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”

    Special Counsel Jack Smith sent his prosecutors running to Judge Chutkan Friday evening demanding she deal with Trump for his temerity in defending himself in the court of public opinion.

    File screen images.

    On TwitterX Friday, Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson responded to Trump by giving away the Establishment’s rationale for prosecuting Trump, “We’re coming after you, @realDonaldTrump. We’re going to break you, humiliate you, defeat you at the ballot box, shatter your movement. You’ll spend your sorry last years weeping in a lonely prison cell, your hideous legacy a warning to future generations, your shame eternal.”

    Trump’s campaign issued a statement late Friday night explaining that Trump’s comment was political speech:

    “The Truth post cited is the definition of political speech, and was in response to the RINO, China-loving, dishonest special interest groups and Super PACs, like the ones funded by the Koch brothers and the Club for No Growth.”

    The response by Special Counsel Smith, Rick Wilson and others proves yet again the old saying, “Throw rocks into a pack of dogs, the ones that yelp the loudest are usually the ones that got hit.”

    Excerpts from the filing by Smith’s office on Friday:

    The Government’s proposed order is consistent with other such orders commonly used in
    this District and is not overly restrictive. It allows the defendant prompt and effective use of
    discovery materials in connection with his defense, including by showing discovery materials to
    witnesses who also agree to abide by the order’s terms. All the proposed order seeks to prevent is
    the improper dissemination or use of discovery materials, including to the public. Such a
    restriction is particularly important in this case because the defendant has previously issued public
    statements on social media regarding witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal
    matters pending against him. And in recent days, regarding this case, the defendant has issued
    multiple posts—either specifically or by implication—including the following, which the
    defendant posted just hours ago:

    If the defendant were to begin issuing public posts using details—or, for example, grand jury
    transcripts—obtained in discovery here, it could have a harmful chilling effect on witnesses or
    adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case See Gentile v. State Bar of Nevada,
    501 U.S. 1030, 1070 (1991) (“The outcome of a criminal trial is to be decided by impartial jurors,
    who know as little as possible of the case, based on material admitted into evidence before them
    in a court proceeding. Extrajudicial comments on, or discussion of, evidence which might never
    be admitted at trial . . . obviously threaten to undermine this basic tenet.”)

    Finally, and importantly, the Government’s proposed protective order provides that either
    party can seek to modify the order at any time—meaning that the defendant is in a better position
    if he receives discovery under the proposed order’s conditions rather than receiving no discovery
    while this motion is pending. If the Court issues the Government’s proposed protective order
    forthwith, without awaiting a responsive brief, the defendant will be free to review the discovery
    that the Government will promptly produce and can seek any modifications of the order that he
    determines appropriate based on that review. And once in possession of the Government’s
    detailed, organized discovery inventory, the defendant will be in a better position to assess and
    justify whether to seek a modification to the protective order at all.

    Julie Kelly reported Saturday that two of Smith’s prosecutors in the Trump case gave former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe a pass on his corruption and are involved on the case against Steve Bannon, “I know you’ll be shocked to hear this. The 2 DOJ lawyers handling the case against Trump for J6 and attempts to “overturn” 2020 election are the same DOJ lawyers who declined to prosecute Andy McCabe for lying under oath–never mind his own role in 2016 election interference:..Molly Gaston is the DOJ lawyer who went crying to Judge Chutkan last night, claiming Trump’s Truth Social post was a lowkey threat and demanding the judge withhold discovery from Trump until she signs a protective order in the case. Thugs…Gaston and Cooney are also the DOJ tag team on the contempt of Congress case against Steve Bannon. They asked for 6 months in jail after Bannon convicted by DC jury on 2 counts and pay a $200,000 fine:”

    Like Rick Wilson said, they are not just trying to jail Trump to defeat him at the ballot box, they are trying to “shatter your movement.”

    UPDATE: Judge Chutkan ordered Trump to respond to Smith’s motion for a protective order by 5 p.m. EDT Monday:

    Update: Prosecutorial Misconduct – Jack Smith DID NOT Even Download Exculpatory Evidence that Clears Trump Until TWO DAYS AFTER Indictment Dropped (VIDEO)
    By Jim Hoft Aug. 5, 2023 11:00 am176 Comments

    On Friday TGP’s Cullen Linebarger reported that Special Counsel Jack Smith either failed to review evidence that exonerates President Trump and Mayor Rudy Giuliani or he ignored the findings altogether.

    Tim Parlatore, the attorney for former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, told CBS News that Smith’s office has within thousands of pages of records turned over by Kerik that contains “exculpatory evidence.” The exact reason why Smith has not disclosed this critical information remains unclear.

    On Saturday morning Attorney Tim Parlatore told FOX and Friends Weekend hosts that Jack Smith did not even download the exculpatory evidence against President Trump until TWO DAYS after his junk indictments against President Trump’s free speech.

    Former Trump Attorney Tim Parlatore: I think overall, Jack Smith has taken a pretty careless approach from my dealings with that office for over here, both before he came in and after. They’re really trying to pursue charges here, as opposed to actually pursuing justice, which is what the ethical obligations of prosecutors really are.

    In this case they brought an indictment before they even finished their investigation. When you look at the DC indictment, it all turns on the element of whether Trump knew that the allegations he was making were false or whether he had some good faith basis to believe that there may be fraud. About a week before the indictment, I turned over thousands of pages of records that the special counsel had never seen before that bear directly on that from Bernie Kerik and the Rudy Giuliani team. And I found out two nights ago, he didn’t even bother reading it. He didn’t even download it until a couple of days after the indictment dropped.

    Biden’s DOJ Continues to Bastardize Constitution – Jack Smith Demands Court Prevent Trump from Sharing Evidence After His Fiery Warning on Truth Social
    By Jim Hoft Aug. 5, 2023 9:30 am329 Comments

    On Thursday the Biden regime arraigned their top political opponent in a Washington DC court on speech violations.

    The indictments were absurd, should never have been filed, and go against the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

    On Friday we learned that Special Counsel Jack Smith either failed to review evidence that exonerates President Trump and Mayor Rudy Giuliani or he ignored the findings altogether.

    Jack Smith charged Trump with “speech violations” while ignoring evidence that exonerated President Trump.
    So who is the criminal here?
