WATCH: Former Obama Intern and Democrat Campaign Worker Speaks Out After Attending the DNC as Volunteer By Jim Hᴏft
Aug. 26, 2024 8:45 am
A former Obama intern and lifelong Democrat who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 has taken to social media to blast the Democrat Party in a scathing video that exposes what conservatives have long suspected: the party is out of touch, elitist, and disconnected from the real struggles of everyday Americans.
The woman, who identifies herself as Evan, posted the video on X, where she shared her disillusionment with the Democrat Party after attending the Democratic National Convention (DNC) as a volunteer.
According to her, she left the convention early because “it sickened me.”
Evan, who has dedicated much of her career to working in ‘progressive politics,’ signed up to volunteer at this year’s DNC, expecting to find renewed faith in the Democrat Party. Instead, she found herself more disillusioned than ever before.
“Okay, I’m going to get real in this, and it’s probably going to piss some people off,” Evan begins, setting the tone for her no-holds-barred exposé.
She added:
“I just got back from the DNC, where I signed up to volunteer. When I initially signed up to volunteer, Joe Biden was still the nominee; it wasn’t yet Kamala Harris. I’ve worked in progressive politics for a long time.
I have worked for many different Democratic candidates—Senate candidates, House candidates, and even some Democratic organizations. As the years have gone by, I found myself getting more and more disillusioned with the Democratic Party, although until now, I’ve never said that out loud or anywhere public. I just want to say that by saying this, I’m not necessarily saying that the other party is better. I’m just giving you my experience working with the Democrats.”

The Regime Strikes Back: Secret Service Rips Away RFK Jr.’s Protection After Endorsing President Trump By Cullen Linebarger
Aug. 25, 2024 2:00 pm – The Biden Regime is striking back against RFK Jr. after he endorsed President Trump.
The New York Post reported Sunday that the RFK Jr. will no longer have Secret Service protection because had suspended his candidacy, despite the fact he remains on the ballot in 40 out of 50 states.
Recall that RFK Jr. on Friday said that he was only withdrawing from the race in 10 swing states, which would decide the election between President Trump and Kamala Harris. He still wants his fans residing in safe red and blue states to continue to vote for him.
Moreover, RFK Jr. will soon join Trump on the campaign trail. Given that two high-profile individuals will appear together across the country, more, not less, Secret Service security is imperative.
This is especially true when one considers the fact Trump came within a centimeter of getting assassinated last month, and another maniac wanted to end the 45th president’s life in Arizona this week. The chances of someone wanting to put a bullet in Kennedy just WENT UP because he endorsed the Democrats’ most loathed man.
Polling also shows that RFK Jr. withdrawing from the swing states significantly boosts Trump’s chances of defeating Harris and returning to the White House.
Make no mistake: this move was not about the Secret Service wanting to save a few dollars. This is about petty vengeance due.
As The Gateway Pundit readers previously reported, Kennedy publicly and privately lobbied for Secret Service protection for MONTHS due to several security scares. He correctly noted that political motivations were behind the delay in receiving it.
Trump stepped forward and demanded the regime correct this injustice. The White House finally acceded to the public outcry and gave him the protection he so richly deserves right after the Trump assassination attempt.
While RFK Jr. did not mention this fact as a key reason for his endorsing Trump, he has consistently thanked Trump for looking out for him.
Now, the Regime is perfectly content with leaving RFK Jr. out to dry despite the inevitable dangers he will surely encounter.
[Ed.: Yet, President Trump persists in entrusting the Secret Service with his life! He should have fired them and hired private security teams made up of Israeli commandos! Why?]
Renowned JFK Expert Reveals Why He Suspects the CIA Was Involved in the JFK Assassination as Trump Vows to Release All the Files on the Incident [VIDEO 1:09:28] By Cullen Linebarger
Aug. 25, 2024 11:20 am – As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced on stage during his rally in Arizona news that should shake the Deep State to its core: he will be creating a Presidential Commission on Assassination attempts. Under this plan, all of the JFK Files will be released, and the complete story behind what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, will be revealed.
As the Daily Mail notes, more than 3,000 documents relating to the assassination contain redactions, and experts believe the concealed information will reveal the whole truth behind the JFK assassination.
Now, a renowned expert on the JFK assassination has weighed in with an interesting albeit unsurprising theory about who helped Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly assassinate the 35th President.
Jefferson Morley, who is the editor of the JFK Facts newsletter and has studied the mystery surrounding his assassination for years, told the Washington Post on Saturday he suspects some of Kennedy’s enemies in the CIA might have been working with Oswald.
Morley explained that the documents released so far show that some CIA employees do not believe Oswald acted alone. Moreover, a counterintelligence official tried to “wait out” the Warren Commission’s investigation by denying it information about Oswald.
The fact that federal law states that all JFK assassination records should have been released only raises Morley’s suspicions further.
“This is about the law that says all of the government’s JFK records should be made public by October 2017,” Morley said. “We’re seven years past that blown deadline.”
“Is there a smoking gun in there? You know, this is not about a smoking gun,” he continued.
If it turns out the CIA played a role in JFK’s death, RFK Jr’s haters will be forced to admit he was right after all. For years, this supposed ‘conspiracy theorist’ has told everyone willing to listen that he has personally seen “overwhelming evidence” that the CIA helped kill his uncle only to be mocked by the corporate media.
We all know that the official story behind JFK’s assassination has so many holes you could drive a Mack truck through it.
Last year, a JFK assassination witness broke his silence and blew up the narrative advanced by the Warren Commission that one of the bullets fired at the president’s limousine struck not only Kennedy in the back but also Texas Governor John B. Connally Jr. in the back, chest, wrist, and thigh. This has been called the “magic bullet” theory.
According to Landis, there was nothing “magical” about the bullet. He says that the bullet struck Kennedy in the back but was “undercharged” and popped back out before the President’s body was removed from the limo. It never touched Connally.
Mike Benz: US State Department Is Behind the Arrest of Telegram CEO in France – “I Believe the State Dept., at the Very Least, – Is Participating in this Political Prosecution” (VIDEO) By Jim Hoft
Aug. 25, 2024 10:20 am – On Saturday, the CEO of the popular messaging app Telegram was arrested at Le Bourget airport in France for refusing to comply with the country’s censorship laws.
Pavel Durov, 39, was arrested on the tarmac as he got off his private jet from Azerbaijan.
On Saturday evening Mike Benz, the founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online released a video explaining who he believes is behind this arrest – The US State Department.
Benz is an authority of the Deep State and the US government operations in Europe and abroad.
Mike Benz: I’m here in the airport in Austin, and was just on this space with Mario and Andrew Tate and kim. Com and a bunch of people. I wanted to make a point, but I think they booted me before I could say anything, so I’m just going to make it here. On the news of Pavel’s arrest, the founder of Telegram, this is something that I see going up to the US State Department. Wow, surprise, surprise, that’s my take, but that’s what it is.
One of the things they’re talking about in the space right now is what can be done. The fact is, the House Foreign Affairs Committee could subpoena or could demand as part of its oversight all communications between the US Embassy in Paris, that is the State Department’s branch in France, for their communications with prosecutors or government officials about Havel’s arrest prior to the arrest.
Because I believe the State Department is, at the very least, if not outright pushing, participating in this political prosecution. The State Department has been going after Telegram. Now, they don’t want to shut Telegram down. Let me explain this. Telegram is a double-edged sword for the State Department.
Telegram played a major role in the State Department’s fomenting of the Colour Revolution in Belarus in the summer of 2020. The National Endowment for Democracy, the US State Department, and USAID were all funding the major organisers of the street riots in Belarus and using Telegram as the main channel to organise those street riots because Telegram has such ubiquitous use in Eastern Europe, also in Russia, also in Ukraine. So they loved Telegram as a way to organise, rent a riots, to destabilise Lukashenko’s government.
And I bet that they would do the same if they didn’t. I’m not aware of it just because I haven’t looked into it. But I bet that when Alexei Navalny was deployed against Russia from his right wing flank in organising peaceful protests in Russia. I bet Telegram was used by the State Department as the coordination then because I know that it was in Belarus. Now, on the other hand, the State Department pressured actually astrtufed with tens of millions of dollars, the government of Brazil, to bring Telegram to its knees. Brazil passed a ban, actually made it a crime to access Telegram for several weeks in 2022 until Telegram agreed to the new counter-misinformation laws that were lobbied for by the US State Department’s NGO Soft Power Swarm.
So what they want to do is not kill Telegram like they wanted to kill Wikileaks. They want to control it. And the problem was, is they didn’t have the ability to put sufficient pressure on Pavel to break his will. So he was living in Dubai. Now they have leverage. I believe that’s the purpose of this prosecution, not to establish a legal precedent that every encrypted chat app, its founder, is personally responsible for all illegal conversations or transactions on the platform, but rather to force Telegram to become WhatsApp.
This is what they did to WhatsApp, by the way. Through this regulatory pressure, WhatsApp is owned by Facebook. They broke WhatsApps back. Now, this is why I always say, don’t say anything on WhatsApp that you don’t want put on a Times Square Jumbotron, because the whole thing is fed f*cking central. They broke it.
I watched that happen, by the way. The Atlantic Council played a huge role in that with seven CIA directors on its board and annual funding from the Pentagon, the State Department, and CIA cutouts like the NED. Sorry, I’m just in the airport, so I’m looking around.
They didn’t want to shut down WhatsApp. Whatsapp is used by everybody in Latin America and South America, and half in India. They want to control it, to be able to have their own personnel in place to install and oversee the policies in every country on Earth in order to shape the political outcomes from the inside of every country on Earth to determine their elections. This is what they did to WhatsApp and Telegram in Brazil.
When I say they, I don’t mean the government of Brazil. I mean the US State Department, the US Embassy, the US-funded institutions like the Atlantic Council, the Wilson Centre, the God, there’s a million of them. The National Democratic Institute, the International Republican Institute, the NED. Thousands of these, at least hundreds that I’ve documented, were all capacity-built. Then there’s The whole government programme, SETs, which you’re going to be learning a lot more about in the months ahead. The $150 annual budget and $40 million of it was in Brazil to lobby for these censorship laws. I believe that they thought that they needed leverage against Telegram to finally be able to bring it under their control.
Remember, this is very important in the State Department and the Pentagon’s view for winning the war against Russia via Ukraine, because all the Russians use Telegram chats for the ability to have a backdoor to access.

Tucker Carlson interviews Pavel Durov [VIDEO 8:15] KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat
August 24, 2024 = In 2014, Pavel Durov fled Russia, selling his multi-billion dollar social media company VK after refusing to censor content and share user’s private information with the Russian government.
In 2024, France, an EU and NATO member, arrested Durov for refusing to censor content on Telegram.
What has happened to the West?
: “In 2012, we faced our first issues in Russia. Because I was a big believer in the values of free market, freedoms, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly. So when the Russian opposition started to use VK to organize large protests in Russia, where almost half a million people would protest in the main square of the city, we were requested to ban these communities on VK by the government, and I refused.”
: “So the government asked you to shut down communication between their opponents?”
: “It was a tool for these protestors to organize themselves. It wasn’t about us siding with one political side or the other. It was about us defending freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, which we believed were the right things. But that didn’t go too well with the government.”
: “When the Russian government asked Pavel Durov to use his social media company to censor its political opponents, he refused. He said he would rather resign and leave the country where he was born than participate in something like that. Such was his commitment to free speech.
Now, you have to compare what Pavel Durov did to what Mark Zuckerberg or Parag Agrawal did, the guy who ran Twitter before
bought it. Both of them collaborated with governments to censor people. And that’s shameful.”
BREAKING: Telegram CEO Arrested by French Authorities for Refusing to Follow Censorship Laws [VIDEO 2:52] By Cassandra Macdonald
Aug. 24, 2024 5:20 pm – Gateway Pundit – The CEO of the popular messaging app Telegram was arrested at Le Bourget airport on Saturday evening for refusing to comply with censorship laws.
Pavel Durov, 39, was arrested on the tarmac as he got off his private jet from Azerbaijan.
According to a machine translation of a report on TF1, “The Justice considers that the lack of moderation, cooperation with the police and the tools offered by Telegram (disposable number, cryptocurrencies, etc.) makes it complicit in drug trafficking, paedophile offences and fraud.”
“Investigators from the ONAF (National Anti-Fraud Office attached to the Customs Directorate) notified him and placed him in police custody. He is expected to be presented to an investigating judge this Saturday evening before a possible indictment on Sunday for a multitude of offences: terrorism, drugs, complicity, fraud, money laundering, concealment, paedophile content…” the report continued.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson in April, Durov said that the FBI expressed interest in creating a ‘backdoor’ into the Telegram app, ostensibly to spy on users.
As Gateway previously reported, this revelation highlights the U.S. government’s purported efforts to undermine Telegram’s promises of privacy and security.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov arrested at airport near Paris, French media reports
August 24, 2024 / 8:54 PM EDT / CBS/AFP – French police arrested Telegram CEO and founder Pavel Durov on Saturday at an airport near Paris for alleged offences related to the popular messaging app, French media reported.
The French-Russian billionaire, 39, was detained at Le Bourget airport north of the French capital on Saturday evening, one of the officials told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
French television news outlets TF1 TV and BFM TV also reported the arrest, citing unnamed sources, according to Reuters.
He had just travelled from Baku, in Azerbaijan, another source close to the case told AFP.
Durov was expected to appear in court on Sunday.
Telegram did not immediately respond to a request from Reuters for comment, and the French Interior Ministry and French police had no comment either.
France’s OFMIN, an agency tasked with preventing violence against minors, had issued an arrest warrant for Durov as the coordinating agency in a preliminary investigation into alleged offences including fraud, drug trafficking, cyberbullying, organized crime and promotion of terrorism, one of the sources close to the case told AFP.
Durov is suspected of failing to take action to curb the criminal use of his platform.
“Enough of Telegram’s impunity,” said one of the investigators, adding they were surprised Durov came to Paris knowing he was a wanted man.
Durov started Telegram in 2013 and left Russia in 2014 after he was ousted from VKontakte — a popular social networking site in Russia which he-cofounded — after being pressured by the Kremlin to hand over users’ personal data, which he refused to do.
In a 2016 interview with “60 Minutes,” Durov said he was “horrified” when he learned that Telegram — which was designed to be heavily encrypted so that governments cannot access users’ personal data — was being used by terrorist groups like the Islamic State to communicate.
“I’m personally for the privacy side,” Durov said in that interview when asked whether privacy concerns outweighed security risks. “But one thing that should be clear is that you cannot make just one exception for law enforcement without endangering private communications of hundreds of millions of people because encryption is either secure or not.”
Telegram founder Pavel Durov reportedly arrested in France Anthony Ha
August 24, 2024 4:38 pm PDT – Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of messaging app Telegram, was arrested on Saturday evening while leaving his private jet at France’s Bourget airport, according to French television network TF1.
Reports of Durov’s arrest sparked widespread discussion and speculation on social media, including on Telegram itself, although it seems to be largely based on the same handful of reports in French media. Neither Telegram nor a spokesperson for France’s national anti-fraud office ONAF immediately responded to a request for comment.
According to TF1, Durov faced a warrant in France based on a preliminary police investigation. The French authorities reportedly claim that Telegram’s lack of content moderation and unwillingness to cooperate with law enforcement make Durov an accomplice to the drug trafficking, money laundering, and sharing of child pornography that allegedly occur via the app.
The reported arrest will likely fuel further debate around the extent to which messaging apps should be held responsible (legally and otherwise) for the messages their users share.
Forbes estimates Durov’s net worth at $15.5 billion. Although born in Russia, he left the country in 2014 after resisting government pressure to release data about Ukrainian protest leaders from his previous social network Vkontakte. Durov now lives in Dubai, where Telegram is based, and his plane was reportedly flying in from Azerbaijan.
Durov said last month that Telegram had 950 million active users, with a goal of reaching 1 billion this year. At the same time, the company claims to have around only 30 engineers — a very small team for an app of Telegram’s scale, likely making Durov even more important to the company’s operation.

Former Hamas Hostage Noa Argamani Provides First Testimony on Her Captivity ‘It’s a Miracle I’m Alive’ [VIDEO 4:55] By Margaret Flavin
Aug. 23, 2024 4:00 pm – In June, The Gateway Pundit reported that hostage Noa Argamani, 26, was rescued after eight months of captivity at the hands of ruthless Hamas terrorists.
Argamani was in attendance at a nature party on October 7th, when Hamas terrorists launched a massive surprise attack on civilians in Israel.
A haunting image of Argamani at the moment of her capture at the party horrified the world as she pleaded with the terrorists while being held on the back of a motorbike, ‘Don’t kill me!’
Recently, Argamani testified for the first time since being rescued about her harrowing experience in Hamas captivity and said it was a “miracle” she was still alive.
On Thursday, she met with Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa and spoke of the horrors she went through.
During the meeting she shared, “Every night, I was falling asleep and thinking, this may be the last night of my life. “Until the moment I was [rescued]… I just did not believe that I’m still surviving.”
She added, “And in this moment that I’m still sitting with you, it’s a miracle that I’m here. It’s a miracle because I survived October 7, and I survived this bombing, and I survived also the rescue.”
Argamani continues to advocate on behalf of hostages who are still being held by the terrorist group.
WATCH: President Trump Announces Presidential Commission on Assassination Attempts If Re-Elected – ALL JFK Files Will Be Released and Truth Behind the Attempt on Trump’s Life Will Be Known By Cullen Linebarger
Aug. 24, 2024 8:15 am – If President Trump wins in November, we will finally know the real truth behind President John F. Kennedy’s assassination and the attempt on his life last month.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Robert F. Kennedy Jr officially endorsed Donald Trump for President in a beautiful speech Friday afternoon. Following the speech, RFK Jr. joined Trump at the 45th President’s rally in Glendale, where he was given an epic welcome.
Trump announced on stage during his rally and broke news that should shake the Deep State to its core: he will be creating a Presidential Commission on Assassination attempts.
Under this plan, all of the JFK Files will be released, and the complete story behind what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, will be revealed. [Emphasis added]
“I am announcing tonight, upon my election, I will be establishing a new Presidential Commission on assassination attempts, and they will be tasked with releasing all of the documents pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
And they will also conduct a rigorous review of the attack last month. But I tell you, I have never had more people ask me, ‘Please, sir, release the documents on the Kennedy assassination,’ and we’re going to do that.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that President Trump was nearly assassinated last month during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks. Even worse, we have since learned that had DEI-loving former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle provided adequate security to Trump at the rally and allowed the agents to guard the roof Crooks shot from, the incident would have never happened.
We also know that the official story behind JFK’s assassination has so many holes you could drive a Mack truck through it. Last year, a JFK assassination witness broke his silence and blew up the narrative advanced by the Warren Commission is that one of the bullets fired at the president’s limousine struck not only Kennedy in the back but also Texas Governor John B. Connally Jr. in the back, chest, wrist, and thigh. This has been called the “magic bullet” theory.
According to Landis, there was nothing “magical” about the bullet. He says that the bullet struck Kennedy in the back but was “undercharged” and popped back out before the President’s body was removed from the limo. It never touched Connally.
The Trump-Kennedy alliance has the potential to usher in unprecedented transparency in how our corrupt federal government operates. Imagine how many heads would explode if Trump gave RFK Jr. a consequential position in his administration, such as CIA Director.
UPDATE: Killer Shouted “Allahu Akbar” Before Stabbing 9 Innocents and Killing 3 at German Diversity Festival By Jim Hoft
Aug. 24, 2024 11:40 am – According to an earlier report by Cullen Linebarger – A crazed man killed several people who were celebrating the ‘virtues’ of diversity at a major festival in Germany Friday night.
According to Bild, the event occurred around 9:45 P.M. local time at the Festival of Diversity in Solingen, a city around 25km east of Dusseldorf. The attack happened on a central square, the Fronhof.
German Police say there were no less than nine innocent people stabbed during the attack with at least three succumbing to their injuries. Emergency workers were reportedly fighting for the others.
Now there is information that the killer was shouting “Allahu Akbar” as he attacked the nine people.
On Saturday morning a German reporter Tim Rohn wrote that the killer was screaming “Allahu Akbar” during the killing spree.
Exclusive: My @investigativ_de colleague @MartinLutzWELT knows the content of the police report on #Solingen . According to it, one witness said that the perpetrator shouted “Allahu Akbar”. Another said that he knew the perpetrator as a “mosque visitor” from the city. No confirmation yet.
[Ed.: Remember: by the time you hear “Allah Akbar”, it’s already too late!]
HORROR: “Arab-Looking” Man Stabs Several People to Death at “Festival of Diversity” in Germany (VIDEO) By Cullen Linebarger
Aug. 24, 2024 7:00 am – A crazed man killed several people who were celebrating the ‘virtues’ of diversity at a major festival in Germany Friday night.
According to Bild, the event occurred around 9:45 P.M. local time at the Festival of Diversity in Solingen, a city around 25km east of Dusseldorf. The attack happened on a central square, the Fronhof.
German Police say there were no less than nine innocent people stabbed during the attack with at least three succumbing to their injuries. Emergency workers were reportedly fighting for the others.
Below is a video of the massive police and medical response to the horrific attack.
Witnesses told Bild that they saw an “Arab-looking man” flee from the scene of the attack. It is unknown whether the alleged perpetrator is a German citizen.
At this point, there have not been any arrests. The festival was shut down, and armed police guarded the area.
Authorities called on people to leave downtown Solingen until further notice.
A witness to the incident said that he was standing in front of the music stage at the event when he saw a “person fall over just one meter next to me.”
The city’s mayor, Tim Kurzbach, expressed his shock over the incident and mourn the dead in a Facebook post:
“Tonight, we are all in Solingen in shock, fright, and great sadness. We all wanted to celebrate our city anniversary together and now we have to mourn the dead and injured. It breaks my heart that there was an assassination attack on our town. Tears in my eyes when I think of those we have lost. I pray for all those who are still fighting for their lives.
“Also, to all the people who had to witness this, my great sympathies must have been terrible pictures. I thank all the emergency and security forces for their service. I ask that if you believe pray with me and if you don’t, then hope with me.”
“The Festival of Diversity,” which marked Solingen’s 650th anniversary, began on Friday and was scheduled to run through Sunday. Several stages in the streets had been offering several attractions, including live music, cabaret, and acrobatics.
