Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.
This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.
So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.
This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

The cream rises to the top, they say, and so do many psychopaths. One wonders what the prevalence of psychopathy is in the general population:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8374040/
Of course, it is not a precise science. 1:100? 1:50? It does seem reasonable, however, that highly intelligent men and women unencumbered by empathy will more successfully attain wealth and power than those limited in their winning strategies by conscience. I got to thinking about this the other day in conversation with a friend. Those responsible for knowingly executing mass fraud against millions of innocent people before, during and after the plandemic can’t be all there, right? Starting a movie mogul career from a murderous pig farm doesn’t sound right, either, but I’m not sure about that one so I won’t malign Frank Giustra, whom I have warily watched on the finance front. I won’t see him the same way again, though.

Then there is this interesting article on the successful psychopath, meaning those not in prison. Seems to me we can’t swing a dead cat these days without hitting one of these animals:

Covid Criminals
The FDA has detected a safety signal for seizures in young children following mRNA Covid-19 vaccination, according to a study published in JAMA (Joirnal of the American Medical Association) (Hu et el.). Researchers found that children aged 2-5 who received an mRNA vaccine were far more likely to have a febrile seizure within a day of receiving a shot. The study’s results are similitude the results of a medRxiv prepared study published last month (Forshee et al.), also funded by the FDA.
Young people who received multiple Covid-19 jabs were significantly more likely to die than those who skipped the shots, according to data from the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) dataset: Deaths by vaccination status, England). An analysis by The Expose revealed that the younger age group in the data set, those ages 18-39 years old, who received four doses of a Covid vaccine were 256% more likely to die when compared to their unvaccinated counterparts.
Very early in this fear, fear, fear pandemic, Stanford professor, John Ioannidis, possibly one of the most respected epidemiologists on the planet has crunched the numbers from around the globe and found that infection survival rate was well over 99%.
Researchers link mass mRNA vaccination to estrogen-sensitive cancers. a Japanese study published in Cureus evaluated how age-adjusted mortality rates for different types of cancers in Japan changed during Covid-19 pandemic (2022-23) and the results were startling. The researchers found that in 2022, there was a statistically significant increase in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancers, particularly in estrogen-sensitive cancers ( breast and ovarian cancers. Additionally, the team observed no significant excess in all-cause mortality during the first year of the pandemic, (2020), but did find excess all-cause mortality in subsequent years.
Not everyone fell in line, some did not comply, and many woke up after one or two shots of God knows what.
The Canadian Federal Government destroyed 74 million doses –worth $2.1 BILLION — almost a third of all Covid-19 doses that have been received as of yet.
A report released on April 8th by Public Services and Procurement Canada says a total of $10.6 billion for 353.5 million does were purchased through advanced purchase agreements — enough TO VACCINATE EVERY CANADIAN OVER EIGHT TIMES, but nearly half of those doses have either been forfeited, donated, destroyed, or have yet to make it into inventory.
YES —-The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario has formally withdrawn charges against Dr. Jean Marc Benoit, which alleged that his posts on X during the Covid-19 pandemic were disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional.
He had better sue them and for more than just money, but a formal declaration that they where wrong, and unjust in their actions and even stronger statements about their abuse of authority not to mention ultra-vires abuse of their authority.
If he does not, then it is a total win for our enemies. They destroyed us during the years which will come to be known as “The Revolutionary Years” and then just withdrew their charge once it didn’t matter or benefit the revolution any further.
The narrative attack already ground into dust.
He had BETTER sue.

Hamas celebrated Wednesday as Ireland, Norway, and Spain announced that they would recognize a Palestinian state in the wake of the October 7 terror attacks against Israel, prompting Israel to recall its ambassadors from all three.
The Times of Israel reported that Hamas stated: “We consider this an important step towards affirming our right to our land,” adding that it continued to call “on countries around the world to recognize our legitimate national rights.”
Israeli foreign minister Israel Katz announced that Israel would be recalling its ambassadors from all three countries for consultations, and summoned the ambassadors of all three companies for reprimands — a severe diplomatic step.
Israeli government spokesman David Mencer noted in a press briefing that all three countries had also been neutral during the Second World War. (Norway was also occupied by Nazi Germany and resisted, with Allied help.)

Most of the aid being delivered to Gaza via the new “floating pier” constructed by the U.S. military is being stolen, according to reports.
The pier, announced by President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address, was completed last week, and the Pentagon said Tuesday that 569 metric tons of aid had been brought ashore thus far.
However, the Pentagon is unable to say how much, if any, of that aid has actually reached the organizations that are supposed to distribute it, as reports have emerged of Palestinians simply seizing aid from the back of delivery trucks.
Reuters reported on Tuesday that “there has been no aid delivered to a U.N. warehouse from a U.S.-built pier for two days.”

The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reported on Monday that the Biden administration has overseen $10.9 million in payments to the Taliban junta in Afghanistan since President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal of American forces in August 2021.
SIGAR said the bulk of this U.S. taxpayer funding for the Taliban regime came from “taxes” collected by the terrorists. About half a million dollars of the payments were for “payments for utilities, fees, and customs duties.”
Worse still, the report said the $10.9 million tracked by SIGAR’s auditors was “likely only a fraction of the total amount of U.S. assistance funds provided to the Taliban” because “U.N. agencies receiving U.S. funds did not collect data or provide relevant information about their subawardees’ payments.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) together revived the old, failed conventional policy Tuesday of seeking a Palestinian state before other peace agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
The policy was infamously embraced by then-Secretary of State John Kerry in 2016, who adamantly insisted that there could never be a “separate peace between Israel and the Arab world” before going through the Palestinians first.

“BIDEN’S DOJ WAS AUTHORIZED TO SHOOT ME!”: President Trump Responds to Reports Deadly Force Authorized in Mar-a-Lago Raid
by Kristinn Taylor May. 21, 2024 6:40 pm454 Comments
President Trump responded Tuesday to reports Joe Biden’s Justice Department authorized deadly force in the FBI raid on his Palm Beach, Florida home Mar-a-Lago in the classified documents case on August 8, 2022. Trump posted a response on Truth Social saying Biden is a “serious threat to democracy” and called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment against Biden. A comment posted in Trump’s name in a campaign email said:
“BIDEN’S DOJ WAS AUTHORIZED TO SHOOT ME! It’s just been revealed that Biden’s DOJ was authorized to use DEADLY FORCE for their DESPICABLE raid in Mar-a-Lago. You know they’re just itching to do the unthinkable… Democrats think they can frighten me, intimidate me, and KNOCK ME DOWN! But here’s the one thing they don’t know: WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER! Biden’s corrupt regime needs to get the message – right here, right now – that our patriotic movement CANNOT BE STOPPED! Before the day is over, I’m calling on ONE MILLION Pro-Trump Patriots to chip in and say: STOP THE WITCH HUNT!”
In court filings unsealed Tuesday by Judge Aileen Cannon first reported by Julie Kelly, contingency plans were made for a confrontation with Trump and his Secret Service detail–including an on scene medic and the location of a nearby Level One trauma center, St Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach.

“WTF?!! They Were Prepared to Kill Me?!” — Christina Bobb, Present During Mar-a-Lago Raid, Horrified by Potential Deadly Outcome After Learning FBI Was Authorized to Use ‘Deadly Force’
by Jim H?ft May. 22, 2024 7:30 am694 Comments
Trump Campaign Attorney Christina Bobb was horrified after newly unsealed court documents revealed that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force against former President Donald Trump and his associates during the politically motivated raid at Mar-a-Lago in August 2022.
The documents unsealed by Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday, stemming from special counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump, detail the FBI’s controversial raid.
One particularly disturbing aspect of these filings is the ‘Operations Order.’ The disclosed “Operations Order” from the FBI outlined the protocol for engaging with Trump and his security team during the raid, which was authorized by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in August 2022.

Part One–
Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday unsealed numerous motions related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump. The documents included evidence that Joe Biden was ready to have his main political rival Donald Trump and his family killed for a publicity stunt!
Of course, if ANY OTHER SH*THOLE COUNTRY did this to a political rival the Biden regime would be lecturing that country about human rights. Joe Biden has single-handedly destroyed all civilized norms for this great nation.
This is an absolutely shocking development.

Part Two:
Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday unsealed numerous motions related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump. The documents included evidence that Joe Biden was ready to have his main political rival, Donald Trump, and his family killed for a publicity stunt!
Of course, if ANY OTHER THIRD WORLD COUNTRY did this to a political rival, the Biden regime would be lecturing that country about human rights. Joe Biden has single-handedly destroyed this nation’s cultural norms and historic precedent in less than four years.
Cristina Laila reported earlier that one filing revealed Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago authorized by US Attorney General Merrick Garland in August 2022.
But there is even more shocking information included in the released report that we reported earlier. The Biden regime not only approved deadly force at President Trump’s home, where Secret Service members are stationed every day but they also made plans for casualties. The Biden DOJ and Chris Wray’s FBI also notified a local trauma unit to prepare for casualties.

Jerome Corsi Exclusive: Is the Biden Administration Trying to Kill Presidential Contenders Donald J. Trump and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.?
by Guest Contributor May. 22, 2024 3:30 pm101 Comments
Guest post by Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D.
With the FBI scrambling desperately to claim the authorization to use deadly force in the Mar-a-Lago was “standard operating procedure” for an FBI raid, the fact remains the force authorization documents allowed the FBI to exchange fire with the Secret Service should former Donald Trump be perceived to be taking steps to impede the FBI search for classified documents.
The question arises whether the Biden administration and the FBI would go so far as to kill a former president, who is the leading presidential contender to President Biden in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.
The question also arises as to why the Biden administration still refuses to provide Secret Service protection to independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.? Secret Service protection was offered by law to all presidential candidates 120 days out from the election after Kennedy’s father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. was shot dead in Los Angeles in 1968.
.What is apparent is that the Biden administration’s Department of Justice has become a purely partisan political enforcement agency more concerned about Catholics who, like the Latin Mass, that military age foreigners crossing the Mexican border into the United States, without first applying for visas to enter the country.https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/jerome-corsi-exclusive-is-biden-administration-trying-kill/
The Department of Justice’s disgrace is compounded by lawfare prosecutions of President Trump in both New York and Georgia. We have yet to see the prosecutor in either of these cases present evidence of an actual crime. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s visage displays loathing for Trump, in a case that should have been dismissed along with Smith’s admission that his office lied about the location of certain boxes seized in the now suspect Mar-a-Lago raid.
These questions are especially pertinent in light of the book Dr. David W. Mantik, M.D., Ph.D. and I published recently, The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis .l’, in which Dr. Mantik presents forensic evidence based on his optical density measurements of the three extant JFK autopsy skull X-rays in the National Archives today.
Dr. Mantik’s analysis proves all three X-rays are forgeries, altered to mask evidence of frontal shots. Moreover, Dr. Mantik produces CSI evidence from his analysis of the skull X-rays that two shots from the front hit JFK’s head, plus a shot from the rear, fired at a low angle.
None of the JFK headshots evident in the X-rays was from the angle required for the shot to have originated from the sixth-floor corner window of the Texas School Book Depository.
In other words, Dr. Mantik has proved the JFK assassination was a deep state coup d’état that the federal government has lied about for 61 years, refusing even today to release thousands of yet secret JFK assassination documents required to be released by the 1992 JFK Records Act.
November 22, 1963, the day JFK was assassinated, was the day the deep state decided to take over the operation of the U.S. government.
We now know the Department of Justice has gone rogue in a mad determination to prevent former President Donald Trump from campaigning. We also know the Department of Justice has forced Robert Kennedy, Jr. to spend thousands of dollars on private security. Instead of protecting both candidates, the Biden administration appears to be taking orders from deep state operatives who are reluctant to allow into power two candidates who every day have new reasons to ensure that as president, they would make sure all secrets about the JFK assassination are revealed—information that would put light on the deep state’s efforts today to make sure neither Donald J. Trump or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. are inaugurated president on January 20, 2025.

ELECTION INTERFERENCE: AOC Says the Quiet Part Out Loud — Reveals Democrats’ Lawfare Against Trump Are Designed to Obstruct His Campaign Like an ‘Electronic Ankle Monitor’ (VIDEO)
by Jim H?ft May. 22, 2024 12:20 pm340 Comments
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has inadvertently exposed what many conservatives have long suspected: the relentless lawfare against President Donald Trump is not about justice; they’re a strategic ploy to hamstring his 2024 presidential campaign.
Last week, President Trump announced plans for a rally in the South Bronx to address the “horrendous effects” of Joe Biden’s presidency on the U.S. economy.
In December, The Gateway Pundit contributor and Newsmax reporter Cara Castronuova went down to the Bronx to take the temperature on Joe Biden.
Cara, who routinely breaks major investigations at The Gateway Pundit, was shocked by what she heard. There is huge support for President Donald Trump in the Bronx!
The rally is scheduled for Thursday, May 23, 2024, at 6:00 PM EDT at Crotona Park in The Bronx. It is expected to draw significant attention to the economic distress communities like the South Bronx have experienced under the current regime.
The Gateway Pundit contributors Jordan Conradson and Cara Castronuova will be at the venue speaking to Bronx Trump supporters.
During a recent public appearance, AOC mocked Trump’s upcoming rally in the South Bronx, claiming that his choice of location was not a political strategy but a necessity due to legal constraints that keep him tethered to New York City.
“So it is truly an embarrassment to him. And I am looking forward to the response of everyday Bronxites talking about how they feel about him coming to their backyard,” AOC added.
AOC’s comments suggest a more sinister motive behind the persistent legal challenges facing Trump, who is currently entangled in multiple witch hunts by the lawless Democrats. These proceedings include:
This lawfare by Democrats, as pointed out by AOC’s own words, is aimed at limiting Trump’s mobility and, by extension, his ability to campaign freely across the country.
Her assertion that these legal challenges are akin to an “ankle monitor” shed light on leftists’ tactics of using legal proceedings as political tools against Trump, branding these actions as nothing short of election interference.

Sickening new video shows Hamas line up female Israeli soldiers on Oct. 7: ‘Here are the girls who can get pregnant’
By Social Links for Ronny Reyes
Published May 22, 2024
Updated May 22, 2024, 12:48 p.m. ET
Harrowing video released Wednesday shows the moment five female Israeli soldiers, covered in blood and surrounded by the bodies of their massacred comrades, were threatened with rape and kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7.
Bodycam footage from the Hamas gunmen shows the moment the young women, operating at the Nahal Oz base outside the Gaza Strip, were handcuffed and pressed against a wall.
In the sickening video, the terrorists could be heard gloating and announcing their apparent plans to sexually assault the soldiers.
“Here are the girls who can get pregnant,” one of the gunmen said.
“You’re so beautiful.”
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which released the video, said the harrowing tape shows the horrifying reality of the five hostages still in the clutches of the terror group in Gaza. They were identified as Liri Albag, Karina Ariev, Agam Berger, Daniella Gilboa and Naama Levy.
“The video is a damning testament to the nation’s failure to bring home the hostages, who have been forsaken for 229 days,” the group said in a statement urging that the hostage exchange talks with Hamas resume.

Laughable E-blast From Sugarmann’s VPC Includes Useful Tool for Gun Shoppers
By John Petrolino | 1:31 PM | May 22, 2024
AP Photo/Marco Garcia, File
The Violence Policy Center is nearly a do-nothing group in 2024. Maybe once upon a time they had more clout, but today, they put up the veneer of #doingsomething. In one of their recent mailings they included all kinds of pompous and self-righteous claims. The message asks the question, “How well do you know your neighbors?” Setting the stage for a bunch of bovine excrement, they then give us a pretty cool tool.
I suggest you cue in suspenseful music and read the following slowly, insert the clap of thunder where necessary.
Did you know that you might be living next to a federally licensed gun manufacturer and not even know it?
This startling fact comes from our latest study, America’s Hidden Gun Manufacturers.
Under federal law, gun manufacturers must obtain a federal license (known as a Type 07). Yet most of these license holders don’t operate from factories, but from ordinary homes and offices, often without producing a single firearm. They obtain the license because it exempts them from many of the restrictions faced by private citizens when purchasing a firearm — like waiting periods and background checks — and allows them to buy guns in quantity and at wholesale prices.
Talk about Chicken Little! We have to really applaud the efforts here. I mean, they are trying, and that has to count for something, no? To think, a dealer that does not even produce a single firearm! How crazy? You’d think that a group hellbent on seeing the complete repeal of the Second Amendment would be happy that some gun dealers with manufacturer’s licenses “often” don’t produce “a single firearm.”
What a bunch of jackwagons. Then the group chastises people for getting a license that exempts them from “many of the restrictions” that the general public has to deal with. Sugarmann never goes on to explain that to get said licenses the federal government shoves a microscope up your posterior to make sure you have a squeaky clean criminal background.
It’s just ironic that groups that want licenses and paperwork for the average gun owner to exercise their right in any manner are all of a sudden against a license.
This just proves that no matter where the bar is set, the anti-gun cabal will never be happy. They’ll always come after the law-abiding gun owner, even those who jump through the hoops to get difficult to obtain licenses.
The most laughable part of the email is how Sugarmann states these dealers are “often” operating with no oversight. ATF crawling up the posteriors of any FFL holder during audits constitutes “little oversight.” Nevermind the paperwork and all the other garbage FFLs have to deal with, let’s also put out there these are people who are putting the lives of their dogs in peril!
“No one really knows what they’re doing. And that’s a major public safety concern — and one that we’re addressing through our ongoing Campaign for Gun Industry Accountability,” stated the message. End suspenseful music and I’ll add, who the hell cares what a law-abiding dealer is doing as long as they remain law-abiding.
We’re living in a United States where the home-manufacture of firearms is under attack. The anti-gunners scream from the rooftops that there needs to be a background check and all the other mumbo-jumbo. Then in the next breath they complain that people actually are getting licensed – background checked – to deal in and build firearms. I have a few words from the Garden State that I’d love to say, but we’ll settle on “fuggetaboutit.”
Advertisement
Where things get spicy though is at the very bottom of the message. After they ask for money a bunch of times, of course, cause ya know Sugarmanns gotta get a sugar daddy, they leave us with a post post scriptum.
P.P.S. If you’re concerned after reading this email, you aren’t alone. That’s why we’ve built a new online tool where you can check for hidden gun manufacturers near you. Check it out here.
I followed the link. First, my VPN told me that the site is suspicious and potentially malicious. I agree that there’s some malicious people behind it. After telling the malware monitor to “stand down,” I ended up on a page with more rhetoric about how awful it is if you had a neighbor that was a law-abiding gun dealer and all that jazz.
After trudging through that garbage, there’s a tool that allows you to put in a zip code or address, etc. The tool then spits out all the FFLs, including gunsmiths, in that area! The best part about it is they are updating the map quarterly.
Now, it’s hard to know if Sugarmann is going to benefit from clicks. That is, are his analytics going to be able to help him secure more money? I don’t know. But what I do know is he’s given us an awesome tool to use to find dealers easily in a respective area.
I wonder what crime density would look like overlaid on the maps that are generated on the site?
VPC has done little recently and this site illustrates that. It’s a stretch to connect the dots that it’s problematic to have licensed dealers. In the process of trying to expose these rogue manufacturers or dealers that “No one really knows what they’re doing,” VPC has unwittingly given me a tool I’ll be using to get to know my local dealers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican National Committee’s Washington headquarters was briefly evacuated on Wednesday as police investigated two vials of blood that had been addressed to former President Donald Trump following the presumptive presidential nominee’s takeover of the national party apparatus.
Hazardous-materials teams were called in after the vials were discovered, according to the U.S. Capitol Police, who said they would continue to investigate. It was unclear if anyone came into contact with the blood and to whom it belonged.
The vials were addressed to Trump, according to a person familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak about it publicly. It was unclear if any message accompanied the vials explaining why they were sent.
Spokespeople for the RNC and the U.S. Secret Service did not immediately return messages seeking comment. The Metropolitan Police Department and the local fire department referred comment to the Capitol Police.
Earlier Wednesday, the Capitol Police issued a statement advising people to avoid the block where the RNC is located. The House sergeant at arms, the U.S. House of Representatives’ chief law enforcement and protocol officer, sent out information advising traffic restrictions in the area “due to law enforcement activity at the RNC.”

Hack of Mexican Gun Database Shows Impact of ATF’s Scandalous Operation Fast and Furious

Hackers have released reams of information gathered by the Mexican military on suspected straw purchases and firearms recovered in Mexico, and the data reveals just how damaging the ATF’s botched gunwalking operation known as Fast and Furious really was. We already know that the ATF allowed more than 1,000 firearms to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, but the leak reveals that some of the most prolific suspected straw buyers in recent years were operating under the watchful eye of the agency.
As part of the leak, emails relaying U.S. government data between Mexican military leaders and PowerPoint presentations by Mexico’s attorney general show which American straw buyers were tied to the most weapons as of 2022.
Among them is Texan Craig Adlong. He pleaded guilty in 2020 for lying on firearm transaction forms, saying the guns were for his personal use. He purchased 95 semi-automatic rifles at Guns Unlimited in Katy, Texas, making seven visits over two months.
Sixty-six of those firearms were recovered in Mexico, according to the leak.
Reached by phone, Adlong told USA TODAY he was surprised he remained on Mexican officials’ radar after serving a six-month prison sentence. He made a mistake, he said, that he has put behind him.
Asked if he worries about acts of violence being committed with guns tied to his name, he said, “Absolutely. You’d have to be an animal not to.”
Of the other six top purchasers, half are linked to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives scandal known as Fast and Furious.
Retired ATF assistant deputy director Pete Forcelli, who recently wrote a powerful memoir about his time in the Phoenix ATF office and helping to blow the whistle on Operation Fast and Furious, told USA Today’s Nick Penzenstadler that the leaked data appalls him.

“This is a stain we all wear. We had a duty to stop the flow of guns and we’re failing.”
Forcelli said it’s no surprise that guns purchased more than a decade ago in Tucson, Arizona, continue to show up in gun battles in Michoacán, Mexico: “They’re not like apples or loaves of bread; guns will be around until they get recovered at a crime scene used by the cartels.”
Mexican officials like Alejandro Celorio, who’s deeply involved in the Mexican government’s $10 billion lawsuit against multiple gun makers, claim the data buttresses their case that the firearms industry is knowingly arming cartels, but if anything it shows that Mexico should be suing the ATF and DOJ instead of companies like Smith & Wesson.
The hacked material identifies a series of straw purchasers who caught the attention of Mexican officials as behind a high volume of traces.
The top purchaser identified by Mexico in the documents is Uriel Patiño, who served a 70-month prison sentence after taking a plea deal in 2014. Patiño was notorious for being the top straw purchaser in the Fast and Furious debacle, purchasing 700 guns under ATF’s watch. CBS reported that two AK-style Romanian-made, U.S.-sold WASR-10 rifles purchased by Patiño ended up at a crime scene in Culiacán in 2013.
Two other purchasers, Sean Christopher Steward and Carlos Armando Celaya – both prosecuted in the Fast and Furious operation – also appear in the data.
Mexican state police in Tamaulipas cracked open four refrigerators imported from the U.S. on June 17, 2020. Inside, they discovered 54 firearms. American prosecutors said 33 of those were traced back to Michael Mummert of Texas, who was sentenced to three years in prison.
Later today my colleague Tom Knighton will have a deep dive into the types of firearms that are being recovered south of the border, which also cuts against Mexico’s claim that the firearms industry is knowingly aiding and abetting the drug cartels. Are there some bad actors operating at gun stores? Yep, and when they break the law they get prosecuted. But as Forcelli has told me, the vast majority of FFLs serve as additional eyes and ears for the ATF, alerting agents when suspected straw buyers come into their stores and helping to prosecute offenders. At least, that was fairly common before Operation Fast and Furious, when the ATF tried to pin some of the blame for the gunwalking scandal on the gun stores that had been instructed to let suspicious sales proceed.
The impact of Operation Fast and Furious is still being felt across Mexico, but none of the ATF officials who came up with the scheme have ever faced real punishment or consequences for their actions. Mexico and the gun control groups that are aiding its lawsuit aren’t interested in sanctioning the agency or any of its employees. Their goal is to destroy the U.S. firearms industry, not hold the ATF responsible for its actions, but the data clearly shows just how much damage Operation Fast and Furious has done.. and how helpful it was to the drug cartels in Mexico.

“Why Should He Have to Do It?” – WOW! White House Says It’s Not Biden’s Job to Secure the Border Amid Invasion of Military-Age Men (VIDEO)
by Cristia Laila May. 22, 2024 4:15 pm30 Comments
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday said it is not Joe Biden’s job to secure the US border amid an invasion of millions of military-age men from the most dangerous parts of the world.
More than 10 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age men – have invaded the US since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021.
Illegals from the most dangerous parts of the world including the Middle East and Africa, have crossed over the border.
Illegal aliens corraled in into a fenced off area in Eagle Pass, Texas thanks to Joe Biden’s open border policies.
Illegal aliens are raping and murdering innocent Americans
And what does the White House say about the invasion and carnage: It’s not Biden’s job to secure the border.
It is literally Biden’s Constitutional duty to secure the US border.
“The president has the authority to do something about this unilaterally – Congress is in a divided government – why isn’t [Biden] doing anything?” Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich asked Karine Jean-Pierre.
“Why should he have to do it unilaterally?” Karine Jean-Pierre said.
Jacqui Heinrich replied, “He took unilateral action before to undo [President Trump’s border security]!”

Document Dump: Encrypted Message Sent by Hunter Biden to CEO of CCP-Linked CEFC Conglomerate, Setting Up a Meeting with Joe Biden in Dec. 2017
by Cristina Laila May. 22, 2024 7:00 pm0 Comments
New documents released by the House Ways and Means Committee show an encrypted message sent by Hunter Biden to the CEO of CEFC Global Strategic Holdings, a CCP-linked conglomerate, setting up a meeting with Joe Biden in December 2017.
The Republican-led committee voted to release more than 100 pages of documents proving Hunter Biden lied under oath to Congress during his February deposition.
House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) on Wednesday accused Hunter Biden of lying under oath during his closed-door deposition before Congress in February.
New documents provided by a whistleblower contradict Hunter Biden’s testimony to Congress. Hunter Biden repeatedly lied to Congress about his family’s international influence-peddling scheme, according to Chairman Smith.
Chairman Smith said Hunter Biden lied about his shakedown message to his Chinese business associate Zhao. Hunter claimed he messaged the wrong Zhao because he was “high or drunk,” however records show the two had been messaging each other for months.
