DOJ Takes Down Massive Chinese Financial Fraud Ring Operating Out of Southeast Asia

When Jeanine Pirro says “compound” she isn’t kidding. [Check the Images] The DOJ took down a massive financial fraud operation in southeast Asia that was targeting Americans.

DOJ – “The Department of Justice, through U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro and Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Criminal Division, together with its partners, today announced a series of coordinated actions by the Scam Center Strike Force against Southeast Asian criminal organizations operating scam centers that have defrauded Americans of billions of dollars.  

The Scam Center Strike Force’s actions include criminal charges against two Chinese nationals who managed a cryptocurrency investment fraud compound in Burma and attempted to open another compound in Cambodia, the seizure of a Telegram messaging app channel used to recruit human trafficking victims to a scam compound in Cambodia in order to work a law enforcement impersonation scam, and the seizure of 503 fake invesment websites, among other actions.” (more)

…”the scam workers specifically targeted U.S. persons. In the fraud scheme, victims received cold calls from individuals posing as bank representatives, including impersonators of JPMorgan or other U.S. bank customer service agents, warning them that their bank accounts had been used to purchase firearms from an actual U.S. gun store website. Victims were then transferred to individuals posing as “NYPD detectives” or other supposed law enforcement, and later sent to the “New York Supreme Court” or other purported prosecutorial officials. Through sustained pressure conducted over WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams, victims were induced to disclose their bank account information and ultimately transfer their savings to the scammers.” (source)

House Proposes New 3-Year FISA(702) Reauthorization with ODNI as Auditor for Monthly FBI Compliance Report

There is still no warrant requirement in the newest version of the FISA(702) reauthorization bill as proposed [SEE HERE].  The new modifications are only nine pages, and I would recommend all interested parties to review the language.

The House proposal is for a three-year extension of 702 with a new structural compliance report process that requires the FBI to submit a monthly report to the Civil Liberties Protection Officer (CLPO) within the office of the Director of National Intelligence.  Essentially, the ODNI becomes the compliance auditor for how the FBI uses the process.

The CLPO reviews the names and summaries of intents that have been searched through the use of FISA (702) as submitted -monthly- by the FBI. If there are any violations or concerns the CLPO notifies the Intelligence Community Inspector General for investigation.  Both the CLPO and the ICIG report to the ODNI (Tulsi Gabbard, currently).

The Inspector General of the Intelligence Community shall investigate each query referred … to determine whether the query constitutes a violation of laws, rules, or regulations or an abuse of authority.” It’s another layer of compliance review intended to stop search abuses within the database that is held and maintained by the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command.

Here’s the issue with that part: The FBI can only submit the names that were searched if they are aware of them. Meaning, the FBI doesn’t maintain the audit trail, so the FBI only knows who was searched using 702 based on the FBI ‘searcher‘ reporting their search.

This compliance process doesn’t address unlawful database searches that are not reported because they are unknown to the FBI compiling the report.

The NSA and Cyber Command would still need to be monitoring and auditing the searching of the NSA database; and those searches may, or may not, be done by FBI officials who are filling out reports telling the DNI of their activity.

If a non-FBI person is abusing the database; or if an FBI agent simply doesn’t report his search; that/those search(es) would not show up on the monthly report to be delivered to the CLPO. Hence, how would the Civil Liberties Protection Officer even know?

That layer of compliance just doesn’t make sense.

The Declassified Impeachment Material Was Stunning, but What Came Before It Is Worse

Prior to 2018 any public mention of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) would be cause for you to immediately lose your security clearance in government. However, by mid-2018 DC officials were not only openly discussing FISA in public settings, but the DOJ released a Top-Secret Compartmented Intelligence Title-1 FISA warrant.

Why was a TSCI Title-1 FISA warrant made public in 2018?

The Carter Page FISA application and subsequent warrant would have been the easiest document to keep hidden from the public. You cannot FOIA classified documents. However, someone in the DOJ released their exclusive national security equity. I am certain it was Andrew Weissmann who made the call.

Additionally, when the DOJ FISA application was made public, few people noticed the date stamp on the application itself [copy from FISC 3/17/17].

Why was the DOJ releasing the warrant to the public, and why did they use that specific copy that came from the FISC on March 17, 2017. Why not release their own copies from their own DOJ-NSD files? What was it about the FISC copy that made it the option of their choice?

Just as the Atkinson transcript, whistleblower report and IC IG investigative material showed a fraudulent and corrupt impeachment effort, the background details of the FISA application being made public shows the fraudulent and corrupt intent of the Robert Mueller investigation that preceded it.

You will remember the massive media debate in early 2018 about the FISA application deployed against former short-time Trump campaign aide Carter Page.  The DOJ, at the time under the control of the Mueller special counsel for all things Trump-Russia related, wouldn’t let congress see the FISA application. Devin Nunes complained to House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Eventually a deal was struck and two members from the House Intelligence committee (democrats and republicans) and two members from the House Judiciary Committee, were allowed to go to Main Justice and read the FISA application, but not copy it.  Four congressmen were allowed to go read and take notes. Trey Gowdy and John Ratcliffe represented the two republicans, and their notes formed the basis for what later was called “The Nunes Memo.

The Democrats were not happy with the claims in the Nunes memo, and subsequently HPSCI ranking member Adam Schiff wrote the democrat version.

Both of those sets of memos then needed to be declassified, more delays, before they could be made public.  For weeks and weeks, the Nunes -vs- Schiff memos were debated by both sides, with each saying their version was the truth and the other party’s version was spin and/or false.   All of this was happening in January, February and March 2018.

Then, later in the summer, something really weird happened.  On July 21, 2018, Main Justice completely reversed position on keeping the FISA application secret, and for the first time in U.S. history a top secret classified Title-1 FISA application was released to the public (with redactions).

People were so filled with curiosity about the Carter Page FISA application that few, heck, almost no one, stopped to ask why it was released?

Why the sudden secrecy reversal by the DOJ?

Promethean PAC Outlines Why Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Must Battle President Trump

A generally good big-picture overview here from the folks at Promethean PAC.

“In this midweek update, Susan Kokinda argues that Kevin Warsh’s Senate Banking Committee testimony—calling for “regime change” at the Federal Reserve and blaming inflation on excessive money creation—signals a broader shift aligned with the Trump administration against what she describes as an Imperial, British-led free-trade order.

Kokinda highlights Warsh’s criticism of post-2008 quantitative easing as benefiting financial asset holders while many Americans own no assets, and contrasts this with Democrats’ focus on divestment issues. Kokinda ties Warsh’s stance to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s emphasis on raising living standards over bailing out markets and to Trump’s comments on Fed independence. She then points to Trump’s April 20 Defense Production Act action citing market failures in energy infrastructure, including transformer shortages, as national-security threats, linking this to energy independence and Iran, and contrasts it with Mark Carney’s globalist posture and references to the War of 1812.”

CIA Security Officer Shauni Kerkhoff Files Lawsuit Against Steve Baker and The Blaze for Identifying Her as J6 Bomber

Steve Baker and The Blaze are being sued by former Capitol Hill police officer Shauni Kerkhoff, who Baker accused of being the J6 pipe bomber based on “gait” analysis and other dubious claims.

Mr Baker, a former FBI employee named Kyle Seraphin and Kentucky representative Thomas Massie also pushed the accusation, saying FBI Director Kash and other FBI officials were lying and an innocent guy was arrested. The arrested suspect, Brian J. Cole, Jr., confessed to the crimes.

Yesterday, Shauni Kerkhoff, who now works for the CIA security office, filed a lawsuit against Steve Baker and The Blaze [SEE HERE], claiming Steve Baker was motivated by anger over his arrest for activity in the J6 event where Ms. Kerkhoff was present providing security.

According to the lawsuit, Steve Baker and The Blaze created a conspiracy theory using Shauni Kerkhoff as the target of their claims.

This is going to be an interesting lawsuit to watch unfold as there are various types of conspiracy claims similar to Mr Baker that are circulating.  If their claim is false, both Mr Baker and The Blaze could end up in the same financial position as Alex Jones.

Justice Dept Indictment of SPLC Confirms Long-Held Suspicions of Leftist/Progressive Groups Funding Racism and Chaos

The DOJ indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center for wire fraud, money laundering and false statements [Indictment Here], confirms long-held suspicions that Democrat-aligned activist groups have been financing racism, hate mobs and political violence.

For all intents and purposes, the SPLC is a leftist/progressive activist organization who bills itself as anti-racism, yet this same SPLC organization was using cut outs to fund the Ku Klux Klan, the United Klans of America, Unite the Right, National Alliance, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations affiliated, Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party) and American Front.

In essence, Democrats funding extremist groups, just so they can label them as right-wing.

For years we have suspected that financing for civic unrest and racist endeavors was coming from the far-left, today’s indictment proves that very point. Democrats fuel chaos and finance the organizations they label as Facist or racist. Democrats funding the Unite the Right chaos in Charlottesville, then Democrats construct a false narrative about Unite the Right supporting republicans.  Antifa, Occupy Wall Street, Anarchists, Black Lives Matter, Dream Defenders, etc. etc.

The DOJ indictment identifies the SPLC as one organization doing this: but really, it’s an entire network.  Keep digging into this issue, specifically this type of approach, and we will likely find the financial mechanism of most toxic American division – Democrats.

(VIA DOJ) – A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.  The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama Northern Division filed two forfeiture actions to recover alleged proceeds of the organization’s fraud scheme. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigated this case with assistance from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI).

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”

Devin Nunes Resigns from Truth Social to Focus on President Trump’s Intelligence Advisory Board

Devin Nunes announces his departure from Truth Social in order to focus on the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB). According to my sources, the departure from CEO of Truth Social is a complete departure from the Truth Social operation.

Devin Nunes is chairman of the PIAB. As a PIAB member Devin Nunes is technically a Special Government Employee (SGE). Mr. Nunes can spend 130 days of every 365-day calendar year working as an SGE.

DEVIN NUNES“President Trump started Trump Media due to the suppression of free speech online by tech oligarchs. In response, we built a team and launched a global social media platform, Truth Social, developing our own infrastructure in order to make our services uncancellable and to restore free expression for millions of Americans.

After I joined Trump Media in 2022, we experienced one of the longest SPAC merger approval processes in history, went public in March 2024, and oversaw the Company’s expansion over the next two years. During that time, the Company grew from a social media start-up into a public company with a multi-billion dollar valuation, increasing its financial assets from approximately $200 million when the merger closed to around $2.5 billion at the end of 2025. Additionally, we achieved positive cash flow for the 2025 calendar year—less than two years after going public. This financial position enabled the Company to implement its mergers and acquisitions strategy.

I have spent the last decade fighting corruption and censorship in both the public and private spheres. In Congress, I battled corruption at the highest levels of government, including the Russia collusion hoax, the Ukraine impeachment hoax, and the politicization of our intelligence agencies. Now, having achieved Trump Media’s original mission of giving the American people their voices back, and with the Company’s future secured through our strong balance sheet, it’s an appropriate time for Kevin McGurn, a Trump Media advisor with deep experience in media, mergers, and acquisitions, to take over the Company’s leadership and steer Trump Media through its current transition phase. This will allow me to focus more intently on my role as Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board and on other ventures, knowing the company is in safe hands under Kevin’s stewardship.

Promethean Action Provides Perspective on Iran Conflict and Latest Intel Efforts to Disrupt Trump

Promethean Action – Barbara Boyd previews renewed Iran peace negotiations in Islamabad ahead of a ceasefire deadline, as Iran allegedly challenged a U.S. naval blockade, lost a ship, and again closed the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump warning “No More Mr. Nice guy” if peace fails and arguing Iran is bleeding $500 million a day. She shows a City of London–linked propaganda network is working to prolong the war and damage Trump before the midterms by targeting Vice President JD Vance, citing a Financial Times column by Edward Luce and post–Munich Security Conference smears portraying Vance as pro-Putin.

Boyd outlines three layers of Iran-linked messaging—Press TV in London, NIAC in Washington, and the “Iran Experts Initiative” infiltration of U.S. think tanks—and says justice is coming via prosecutions led by Joseph DiGenova, with Kash Patel promising arrests, while Vance leads talks and a National Fraud Task Force.

PRESIDENT TRUMP“I’m winning a War, BY A LOT, things are going very well, our Military has been amazing and, if you read the Fake News, like The Failing New York Times, the absolutely horrendous and disgusting Wall Street Journal, or the now almost defunct, fortunately, Washington Post, you would actually think we are losing the War.

The enemy is confused, because they get these same Media “reports,” and yet they realize their Navy has been completely wiped out, their Air Force has gone onto darker runways, they have no Anti Missile or Anti Airplane Equipment, their former leaders are mostly gone (This has been, in addition to everything else, Regime Change!), and perhaps, most important of all, THE BLOCKADE, which we will not take off until there is a “DEAL,” is absolutely destroying Iran. They are losing $500 Million Dollars a day, an unsustainable number, even in the short run. The Anti-America Fake News Media is rooting for Iran to win, but it’s not going to happen, because I’m in charge! Just like these unpatriotic people used every ounce of their limited strength to fight me in the Election, they continue to do so with Iran. The result will be the same — It already is!” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

House Committee Report Shows ActBlue Officials Invoked 5th Amendment 146 Times During Donor Fraud Probe

Democrats send swat teams when evidence of illegal behavior surfaces. Republicans, well, they issue reports. LIKE THIS ONE.

The summary is: the Democrats ActBlue fundraising apparatus is a scheme to launder foreign funds and hide large donor activity through a process of straw (fake) small amount donors.  The House Judiciary Committee investigated as media reports of the fraud began to surface.  The House sent subpoenas to five key ActBlue witnesses.  The witnesses showed up and plead the fifth – Twitter Summary Here.

WASHINGTON — ActBlue employees invoked their Fifth Amendment right at least 146 times in depositions with congressional committees investigating alleged donor fraud on the fundraising platform, according to an explosive report released Monday.

Two ActBlue officials, one of whom formerly served as VP of customer service, and three of its former lawyers “declined to answer a single one of the Committees’ substantive questions,” stated the interim staff report from the House Administration, Oversight and Judiciary Committees.

“Their unwillingness to testify only amplifies the Committees’ concerns,” the report added of the depositions between July and December 2025, also citing ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Wells’ seemingly “false statements to Congress” and withholding of documents pursuant to a subpoena for records.

Acting on his own investigation, media reporting from the New York Times as well as his own state investigation, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxtron has filed a lawsuit against ActBlue.
