Emmy-Winning Investigative Journalist Who Exposed Pentagon Cover-up Missing Since April

By ,

James Gordan Meek, a 52-year-old Emmy-winning journalist for ABC News, went missing shortly after the FBI raided his Arlington penthouse back in April of this year.

Meek had just produced a documentary for Hulu called “3212 Unredacted” detailing a 2017 coverup by the Pentagon of the deaths of US Special Forces personnel in Niger.

A “lightning raid” was conducted on Meeks home after a search warrant was approved by a federal magistrate judge in the Virginia Eastern District Court, according to reports from the Rolling Stone and the New York Post.

“If agents got hold of Meek’s records, the move would have had to have been approved by US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.” The New York Post reported.

Meek’s attorneys accused the US Government of leaking information to the Rolling Stone.

“The allegations in your inquiry are troubling for a different reason: They appear to come from a source inside the government,” Meek’s attorney Eugene Gorokhov told Rolling Stone. “It is highly inappropriate, and illegal, for individuals in the government to leak information about an ongoing investigation.”

“We hope that the DOJ promptly investigates the source of this leak.”

Meek’s last public statement was in the form of a tweet on April 27 – His colleagues at ABC said Meek “fell off the face of the earth.”

The New York Post reported:

An Emmy Award-winning ABC News journalist who broke several high-profile national security and terrorism-related stories has gone missing since the FBI reportedly seized classified information from his laptop during a raid on his Virginia home, according to published reports.

James Gordon Meek, a 52-year-old investigative reporter and producer of Hulu’s acclaimed documentary “3212 Un-redacted,” has not been seen in public since heavily armed federal agents raided his penthouse apartment in Arlington in April, according to Rolling Stone.

The magazine cited “sources familiar with the matter” as saying that federal agents found classified information on Meek’s laptop computer.

“If such documents exist, as claimed, this would be within the scope of his long career as an investigative journalist covering government wrongdoing,” the attorney told Rolling Stone in a statement.

It is unclear which news story prompted the federal government to set its sights on Meek, whose groundbreaking reporting on the 2017 Pentagon coverup of the deaths of US servicemen in Niger served as the basis for the Hulu documentary.

Meek’s whereabouts are unknown. Before working for ABC News, he also covered national security for the New York Daily News.

The Post has sought comment from ABC News and the FBI. The Justice Department declined to comment.

A spokesperson for Disney-owned ABC News told Rolling Stone: “He resigned very abruptly and hasn’t worked for us for months.”

Phone calls to Meek’s family went unanswered.

Bill Gates Says Climate Tax Impending, Praises BlackRock

By ,

Billionaire Philanthropist and self-styled global health expert Bill Gates made an appearance on CNBC Tuesday, where he praised the monstrous investment management company BlackRock Inc, and foreshadowed the advent of climate taxes.

In the interview, Gates lauded BlackRock, and it’s founder Larry Fink in particular, for “private sector leadership” in regard to their continued pushing of ESG (Environmental Social Governance) goals and climate-related regulations, something that freight experts and state Attorney Generals, have been raising the alarm over.

“Blackrock and Lary in particular are a prime example of private sector leadership.  Anyone who says climate should not be a factor in how you evaluate the future of a company , um, that’s not capitalism because  companies that have emissions, they are going to be subject to border adjustment tariffs or taxes.  You also have to think about companies if you’re dealing with severe weather events that’s got to be factored in.  Is the company … becoming more resilient?  So the attacks are kind of illogical because climate does affect the economy which does affect investments.”

Gates’ unimaginable wealth has been used to gain control over the fields of public health, medicle research, vaccine development, and now his new pet project; a global digital identification system.

In addition, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation spends millions on shaping the news we get from mainstream sources. The legacy media may be less than objective in their coverage of Gates, but James Corbett produced a stellar documentary called Who is Bill Gates? which shows the other side of the story.

Igor Danchenko Found Not Guilty on All Counts of Lying to the FBI

By ,

A jury on Tuesday found Steele Dossier source Igor Danchenko not guilty on all counts pursuant to charges of lying to the FBI.

The case was led by Special Counsel John Durham who led much of the prosecution’s questioning of witnesses in the case and whose intent for the trial was at least in part intended to expose the FBI’s mishandling of the large Russia-2016 Trump campaign collusion probe.

The jury had deliberated for roughly nine hours. After the verdict, Durham left and declined to comment. Danchenko attorney Stuart Sears, meanwhile, thanked the jurors for their service and added that the American public learned of Danchenko’s innocence, of which he had long been aware.

Durham was appointed in 2020 by then-Attorney General William Barr to look into the FBI’s handling of the probe.

Danchencko compiled about 80% of the information in the dossier organized by former British spy Christopher Steele.

The biggest revelation in the trial that started Oct. 11 is that the FBI offered Steele as much as $1 million to corroborate the information in the dossier, which was essentially a Trump opposition file that has now been largely discredited.

Danchenko was found not guilty by a 12-member jury in a federal court in northern Virginia. Juror Joel Greene said that the decision was close, but that ultimately the jury reached a unanimous decision.

Last week, U.S. District Court Judge Anthony Trenga dropped one of the five counts in the original indictment that alleged Danchenko didn’t fully disclose the nature of his contacts with dossier source Democrat operative Charles Dolan.

Whistleblowers Claim FBI is Sitting on “Voluminous Evidence” of Biden Family Criminal Conduct in China and Ukraine

By ,

Whistleblowers from within the Federal Bureau of Investigation have disclosed that the Bureau possesses “voluminous evidence” of criminal conduct by members of the Biden family in regard to their overseas business dealings in Ukraine and China.

We reported not long ago that FBI whistleblowers had claimed the Bureau was downplaying negative press in regards to Hunter Biden, going so far as to wrongly label this information as disinformation. 

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) provided the recent revelations in a Thursday letter obtained by the Washington Examiner. The letter was sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss — who is presently running a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden.

These new allegations, which involve not only Hunter Biden but the president’s brother James Biden, specifically highlight the duo’s dealings with the Chinese government-linked energy conglomerate CEFC China Energy. They also relate to the younger Biden’s work for Ukrainian gas giant Burisma Holdings. Grassley said his staff “reviewed the unclassified records” supporting the whistleblower claims.

“Based on recent protected disclosures to my office, the FBI has within its possession significant, impactful, and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden,” Grassley said in the letter.

In regards to the dealings in China, Grassley cited former Hunter Biden business partner and confidant Tony Bobulinski: 

“The information provided by Mr. Bobulinski formed a sufficient basis to open a full field investigation on pay-to-play grounds; however, it is unclear whether the FBI did so and whether the information is part of the ongoing criminal investigation by U.S. Attorney Weiss,”

In August a whistleblower told Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) that FBI leadership told bureau employees not to look at Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell. This same whistleblower also claims the FBI purposely slow-walked the Hunter Biden investigation.

The FBI took possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop nearly 3 years ago and the Justice Department still has not charged Hunter with any crimes despite countless emails revealing an intricate web involving the Biden Crime family’s ties to Ukraine, Russia, and the Chinese Communist Party.

Regardless of where one’s political loyalties lay, it is hard to not see the glaring double standard when Hunter Biden walks free despite all he’s been implicated in, while the DOJ recommends 6 months in jail for Steven K. Bannon for defying the partisan J6 Committee.

Hundreds of Dutch Farmers Face Forced Sale of Land to Uncompromising Government, Potentially Linked to World Economic Forum and Great Reset Agenda

By ,

Farmers from Ontario are standing with their Dutch counterparts as they protest draconian plans by their government to limit farming in the Netherlands. 

We reported on the protests taking place across Europe over weaponized regulations against farmers back in July.

Now, at least 600 Dutch farms are fighting back against the forced sale of their land to an uncompromising government in the next year, according to a GBnews report.

In an interview with the UK-based news organization, political commentator and former Forum for Democracy party member Eva Vlaardingerbroek echoed Dutch farmers’ continued outrage with their leaders in the wake of the recently announced land-grab plan.

“The outcome of the new program is worse. They’re going to expropriate, forcefully buy out, 600 farms in the next year,” Vlaardingerbroek tells GBNews host Mark Steyn, adding, “but it sounds a little nicer in the way that it’s written in the little text.”

“Instead of changing anything, they just changed the tone,” she said.

The pretense for this land grab is the reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions from agriculture — all in pursuit of controversial climate change goals. 

It has been suggested that there are more occulted motives behind the endeavor.

Back in July of this year, Vlaardingerbroek told Breitbart News that her country is essentially the “pilot” for the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset agenda.

Vlaardingerbroek said that countries like Canada and the Netherlands are being used as staging grounds for the World Economic Forum (WEF) and other globalist elites to pursue their radical schemes to transform society, mainly under the guises of global health and climate change.

Vlaardingerbroek said:

“Our government is following a climate agenda, the 2030 agenda more broadly speaking, and they are saying that the Netherlands has nitrogen and ammonia emissions are too high and that they are threatening the climate and local nature, and that they need to be cut down”

“For some reason, they aren’t coming after the airlines or other industries that actually are contributors to these emissions apart from the Dutch farmers. They are saying that the farmers need to give up 30 per cent of their land by 2030 and for a lot of these farmers that means they will go completely out of business depending on where they are in the country and that land goes to the state, surprise, surprise,” 

“Our farmers are being expropriated and the state is stealing their land… and oftentimes these are businesses that they have had in their families for centuries on end because the farming industry in the Netherlands is very strong.”

Under the coalition government of liberal globalist prime minister Mark Rutte, the Netherlands has “committed to reducing the nitrogen emissions produced by livestock by 50 percent by the year 2030” to fall in line with the EU’s Natura 2000 scheme, which requires member-states to protect certain areas designated by Brussels to be in danger ecologically. This means that some areas will be forced to reduce their emissions by as much as 95 percent, with estimates claiming that 30 percent of the country’s farmlands could be impacted.

Vlaardingerbroek believes that the farmers are aware this is not just coming from the national level, claiming that Prime Minister Mark Rutte:

 “is very deeply involved in the World Economic Forum, is a great proponent of all the ideas laid out in the 2030 Agenda and the Great Reset, it’s all related, all these policies are out of those institutions and they are being implemented in our country first, we are sort of the pilot country together with Canada for this agenda.”

Having strict control of the food supply it empowers the government to have “full control” over people’s lives “if they can dictate what and when you can or cannot eat,” Vlaardingerbroek said.

“Wars have been started over less,” she remarked.
