FBI search of Mar-a-Lago raises critical national security questions: Sources – ABC News
Administration sources familiar with the investigation tell ABC News the amount and the sensitivity of confidential, secret and top-secret documents allegedly discovered in the Mar-a-Lago search raise critical national security questions that must be urgently addressed.
Those officials say law enforcement and security officials must now try to track the chain of custody of the material and try to determine if any of the material was compromised.
Officials acknowledged these critical questions need to be addressed because the material, in theory, would be of great value to foreign adversaries and even allies. Interviews with Trump administration officials are anticipated and authorities may even check for fingerprints to see if that provides insight into who had access.
Trump and his Ministry of Kitty Love have invoked the names of Ayn Rand and George Orwell in their Propaganda War supported by the very rich, and the very holy. The novel ‘1984’ is classified Science Fiction. In April of 2018, I wrote my first chapter of ‘The Royal Janitor’ where a young Victoria Bond meets Annie, a left-wing radio personality that challenges another talk-show host to a boxing match. She knocks, Cian O’Shannity – out of the ring!
I am a Prophetic Author, on par with H.G. Wells and Nostradamus. I will have my fictional characters take on the fictional characters that haunt Fox News. They are not – real! They are – liars! I will use their real names, like they use real names in creating fiction, such as, TRUMP WON! Miriam Starfish Christling (a Christian) hates liars and trolls who go after LGBTQ folks. When she saw Tulsi Gabbard on the Sean Hannity show, she said;
“That’s her! My mortal enemy. I saw Tulsi Gabbard – in a dream! She is a……Darkling! She hates my Ukranian people…….and wants Putin to nuke them!”
I am impervious to lawsuits because my novels – see into the future! You can not be sued for things that have not happened – yet! And, besides, Gabbard went after the Disinformation Board. You got to laugh!

“Every dictatorship has a propaganda arm—a ‘Ministry of Truth.’ The Biden Administration has now formally joined the ranks of such dictatorships with their creation of the so-called ‘Disinformation Governance Board,'” Gabbard tweeted.

“When the bell rang for the first round, Annie charged Cian while whirling her arm about like a helicopter.
“DEFEND YOURSELF. I’M GOING TO HIT YOU AS HARD AS I CAN IN THAT TIGHT SLIT YOU GOT FOR A MOUTH. I WANT TO SEE YOUR TEETH GO FLYING INTO THE THIRD ROW.”
When Annie saw O’Shannity’s eyes turn into two black pits of fear, and, as he looked in the corner for his agent who booked him for a good beat-down, Annie delivered an uppercut that knocked Cian over the ropes into a group of Beauty Queens that were texting away, and, didn’t see him coming. Cian, landed in their laps. Video shots were taken of Cian’s bloody mouth bleeding all over their Amanni dresses. Lawrers were called. The Starver of Little Children was……………..FINIS!”
Along with introducing a bill in Congress in 2020 that would ban transgender female athletes from competing with cisgender girls, she has publicly supported Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, which is popularly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic representative for Hawaii and one-time presidential candidate, compared the Biden administration to a dictatorship over its recently created Disinformation Governance Board. She also likened the new bureau to the Ministry of Truth, a fictional government agency in George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984.
Gabbard first condemned the new Department of Homeland Security board during a Thursday appearance on Fox News‘ Hannity, calling it the “department of propaganda.” She reiterated her stance on Twitter Friday, writing that the Biden administration had created a department not unlike those used by dictatorships.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified during a Wednesday budget hearing of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security that the disinformation board was recently started as an effort to curb online disinformation. During a Thursday press briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged the board’s existence and noted that President Joe Biden supported it.
“Every dictatorship has a propaganda arm—a ‘Ministry of Truth.’ The Biden Administration has now formally joined the ranks of such dictatorships with their creation of the so-called ‘Disinformation Governance Board,'” Gabbard tweeted.
Never in the history of literature has a writer gone into a self-induced psychotic state in order to summon a Psychic Psychotic Character in order to wage a propaganda war against a world leader amassing troupes on the border of a sovereign nation. How I have been able to PREDICT the future with Miriam Starfish Christling, and Victoria Rosamond Bond, is worth a study by a reputable organization, because Art and Literature are always on the front line of WAR. There was a suggestion that the Ukraine may not be the target of Putin. I wonder if his troupes will invade the Czech Republic. Bohemia has been a traditional target in the history of warfare because of its strategic location. The Bohemian People are asking for unity from fellow member of the European Union. I will be setting up The Bohemian Union Headquarters in Crockett California, the home of my grandfather, who may be the Real Last Bohemian.
My post of July 3, 2018, will go down in history as a shining example of True Prophecy. I came under attack by my End Time neighbors who saw me as a competitor for the Lunacy of David J. King who backed the QAnon Insurectionists. Putin and Trump – are psychos! I believe Ian Fleming is speaking through me, and I am a TZADIKIN.

Since her failed bid as a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, Gabbard has increasingly distanced herself from the Democratic Party with divisive stances. Along with introducing a bill in Congress in 2020 that would ban transgender female athletes from competing with cisgender girls, she has publicly supported Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, which is popularly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
More recently, Gabbard was denounced by many for releasing a controversial video soon after Russia began its attacks on Ukraine. In the video, the former congresswoman seemingly endorsed the debunked Russia claim that the U.S. is sponsoring biolabs in Ukraine. The video led Republican Senator Mitt Romney of Utah to accuse Gabbard of spreading “treasonous lies.”
Numerous conservative politicians and commentators have slammed the Disinformation Governance Board, claiming it will allow the federal government to police free speech on the internet. Many compared the bureau to 1984‘s Ministry of Truth. In the popular novel, the central character works in the ministry, a governmental department that controls information coming from news, entertainment, arts and education.

Gabbard is not the first person to draw a parallel between the disinformation board and dictators. Errol Webber, a Republican congressional candidate in California, included Biden’s name in a list of famous dictators in an early afternoon tweet Thursday.
“Adolf Hitler had a Ministry of Truth. Joseph Goebbels had a Ministry of Truth. Joseph Stalin had a Ministry of Truth. Joseph Biden has a Ministry of Truth,” Webber wrote.

When asked about the bureau on Sean Hannity‘s program, Gabbard offered a sharp critique.
“This is the kind of thing that you see in dictatorship, this Ministry of Truth, this department of propaganda that the Biden administration has just stood up, and the reason why you see this in dictatorships is because they’re afraid of us. They’re afraid of the people,” she said.
Gabbard continued, “Now they’ve created this body that will do two things. Number one, it will use taxpayer dollars to work through the mainstream media and flood the airwaves with whatever their propaganda narrative is that they’re pushing at at any given time, and try to drown out anyone with alternate views. And number two, they will silence dissenting voices through intimidation.”
Newsweek reached out to Gabbard and the White House for comment.
Czar Vladimir in Wonderland
Opinion by Alexander J. Motyl, Opinion Contributor – 5h ago
The Putin regime has made it all the way down the rabbit hole. Nonsense is now the name of the game, as the Kremlin’s recently drafted media “recommendations” reveal.
A few weeks ago, Vladimir Putin compared himself to Czar Peter the Great (1672-1725). This time, Putin and his propagandists have compared Czar Vladimir to Prince Alexander Nevsky (1221-1263). Readers may be forgiven for wondering just what the heck is going on with all these megalomaniacal comparisons; it’s as if France’s diminutive President Emmanuel Macron were likening himself to the Sun King, Louis XIV (1638-1715) and the man who defeated the Arab armies at Tours in 731, Charles Martel.
There is a method to Putin’s madness. He is hoping to persuade Russians that he is the latest in a long chain of strongman leaders who, like every czar, deserves the popular adulation due a divinely ordained autocrat placed on earth to protect and exalt Mother Russia. Putin is also drawing on the fact that Alexander defeated the Swedes and the Livonian knights in 1240 and 1242, while Peter crushed Charles the XII of Sweden — and his Ukrainian allies! — in 1709. The message is clear: Putin, like Alexander and Peter, is defending Russia from the imperialist West and its lackey, Ukraine.
So far, so good. But then, Russia’s propagandists lapse into nonsense by blithely ignoring the embarrassingly obvious contradictions in their overall narrative. Nevsky rejected the West and subordinated his principalities to the Golden Horde — that is, to Asia. In contrast, Peter admired the West and its military and technological innovations, traveled extensively in Europe, and purposely founded the city that bears his name in order to open a “window” to Europe.
Logically, Putin cannot both support and detest the West. Nor can he paint his alliance with China as resembling the “Mongol yoke” so lamented by Russians. But Putin and his propagandists know full well that they can get away with such historical nonsense precisely because their entire ideological message consists of crude contradictions, bald-faced lies, and painfully self-evident exaggerations. The Russian population that imbibes such heady brews resembles the zombified inhabitants of Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” who are administered feel-good drugs to rid them of thoughts about their dreary lives.

Like Putin and his minions, these Russians inhabit a “Wonderland” within which things are what Putin says they are. Not surprisingly, polls show that most Russians prefer not to think about the genocidal war they are waging against Ukraine. Far better to swallow some “soma” and forget that you are complicit in a world-historical crime.
Equally preposterous is the Kremlin’s new media line regarding its genocidal war against Ukraine. Naturally, the “recommendations” insist that the war is purely defensive and intended to stop the godless West from attacking holy Russia. But the truly bizarre part is that the Kremlin also compares the war to the baptism of the Kyivan Rus’ state in 988 and thereby paints itself as the defender of Orthodox Christianity and its values. Once again, readers may wonder what is going on.
As serious historians now recognize, Rus’ was a Kyivan polity centered on the Dnipro River that was only tangentially related to the principalities in the far north, Vladimir, Suzdal, Moscow and Novgorod. Historians may disagree over whether the Kyivan state was proto-Ukrainian or not, but there is no disputing that Kyivan Rus’s relationship to Nevsky, Peter, and their world is analogous to that of Rome to France. Yes, France’s precursor, Gaul, was part of the Roman Empire and no history of France would be complete without reference to Rome. And yet, it would be absurd to suggest that ancient Rome is more a part of French history then of Italian history. Is it any wonder that the grand prince who brought Christianity to Kyivan Rus’ spelled his name Volodymyr — as does Ukraine’s President Zelensky — and not Vladimir, as in Putin?
What really takes the cake is Putin’s desire to paint himself as a defender of Russian Orthodoxy. On the one hand, he’s absolutely correct to point out that the Putin state and the Russian Orthodox Church — and its apostate patriarch, Kirill — do indeed share the same values: the veneration of wanton death and destruction in Ukraine. On the other hand, some Russian believers must still hold dear the Ten Commandments and reject Putin’s and Kirill’s indifference to humanity and humility.
Of course, that contradiction doesn’t matter in Putin’s rabbit hole. The Kremlin’s propagandists don’t care whether what they say or write makes sense to thoughtful people, because they know that many Russians have ceased to think. One day, it’s possible that the capacity for critical thought will reappear in the Muscovite state. If and when it does, Russians will realize that they have been living a bloody lie for all of Putin’s unhappy reign. The moment of reckoning will be painful indeed, and no amount of soma will assuage it.

MAGA-rioting Nevada candidate slammed by judge after contesting primary loss (msn.com)
On Wednesday, The Nevada Independent reported that Joey Gilbert, a former professional boxer turned personal injury attorney who ran for governor of Nevada on a pro-Trump platform, suffered a resounding loss in state court in his bid to overturn the results of the GOP gubernatorial primary.
“Gilbert’s election contest, filed after a statewide recount on July 15, heavily relied on testimony from Edward Solomon, identified by the suit as an ‘expert mathematician,’ who has alleged since the 2020 election that ‘algorithms’ have been responsible for switching votes in multiple states. Wilson called the Solomon report ‘hearsay, first of all,’ and said there was no showing that the information provided by ‘the admitted non-expert Mr. Solomon … is the product of a reliable methodology.'”
“Gilbert lost his race to Lombardo by more than 26,000 votes in the June primary election, but refused to concede the race and later filed for a statewide recount that did not substantially change the results,” said the report. “The recount and the legal challenge to the result have been funded by Reno-based cryptocurrency millionaire and conservative activist Robert Beadles. In a blog post after the hearing, Beadles said the case would be appealed to the state Supreme Court.”
