Who Really Shot Charlie Kirk?

Did U.S. military intelligence carry out the political assassination of Charlie Kirk? Was the killing done with a palm gun by an individual wearing DARPA’s ENVision glasses, used to track laser infrared bands, whether it’s day or night?

Here’s a new look at the Sep. 10 2025 shooting of Charlie Kirk that brings into play open warfare between American intelligence agencies — the Old Guard agencies like the CIA and FBI fighting with a new breed of military intelligence. Some of these agencies, notably the CIA, are heavily linked to the Democrats while the military agencies lean toward the Republicans. And it bears remembrance that leaders of the military initially called upon Donald Trump to run for American President in 2016.

This theory incorporates various moments and players whose positions have become blurred over time. Roseanne Barr enters the picture, along with Candace Owens, but so does conspiracy theorist Derek Johnson and even Jacob Chansley, the QAnon Shaman. We’re also introduced to Joseph Dunford, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps who, it is said, originally encouraged Trump to run for the White House.

There’s a lot to digest here, and while it’s intriguing, there’s no certainty that any element is anything more than conjecture. In other words, it’s room for thought, but all open for debate. Here’s more from Wolves and Finance.

Iranian Leadership Decimated

Retired Air Force Brigadier General Blaine Holt  says there’s “no way” the Iranian regime remains intact after the decimating bombing by the United Strates and Israel over the weekend. There are currently no plans to put American soldiers on the ground in Iran, but aerial and naval strikes will continue as part of Operation Epic Fury.

Hostilities reached a fever pitch over the weekend as Iran fired missiles against targets in nearly 10 nations across the Middle East, focusing on Israel, but also striking targets around Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other Middle Eastern nations. Meanwhile, the United States and Israel took out the top leadership of Iran, including the Ayatollah Ali Khameini.

So far, three American soldiers have died in the conflict, mostly during missile strikes against U.S. bases in the Middle East. The question that remains: How much blowback will we see? Will Iranian allies like Hezbollah or Yemen step up their attacks? Will there be an increase in terrorism incidents? Here’s more from Holt and other analysts on Newsmax.

War Predicted, And Here It Is

For decades, the U.S. government has warned that Iran is on the brink of re-igniting its nuclear weapons program.

We’ve heard this before — in the early 2000s, during the Obama years, under the first Trump administration, and again under President Biden. The language changes slightly. The urgency is always “imminent.” The proof is always “new.” And yet the story somehow never quite resolves.

Now, Washington says it has fresh intelligence that Iran is once again moving toward a nuclear capability.

Clayton and Natali Morris on Redacted News dig into the latest U.S. military skirmish in Iran, joined by Deep Focus commentator John Kiriakou (formerly with the CIA) and The National Conversation commentator Douglas MacGregor (formerly a colonel in the U.S. Army).

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Iran has closed the Straight of Hormuz, so oil shipments through the straight will close for now. About one-fifth of the global oil supply travels through the straight. Analysts are now estimating we’ll see a 5 or 10 cent per cent hike in oil prices…

Patrick De Haan at Gas Buddy Guy predicts we’ll see a new national average above $3 a gallon, perhaps as high as $3.10-$3.15. The level of the increase could get steeper if the war continues much longer.)

Is Cuba Ripe For A Takeover?

Keeping illegals out of our elections hangs on the commitment of Sen. Majority Leader John Thune. Here’s why.

And we’ll also look at President Donald Trump’s comment that Cuba is ripe for a “friendly takeover.” Here’s more from Lori Colley.

Israel, U.S. Bombing Iran

Israel and the United States launched a “preventative missile attack” on Iran Friday night, prompting counter-strikes against sites in Israel as well as American Air Force and Naval bases across the Middle East. Missile or drone strikes were reported in nations including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Syria, Kuwait, Jordan and Iraq.

Numerous Iranian officials reportedly were assassinated, including President Masoud Beyzeshkian, the defense minister and the head of the judiciary.  The Ayatollah Ali Khameini was not among those killed. He supposedly has gone into hiding outside of the capital city of Tehran. There were other conflicting reports he would deliver a speech on TV. Of course, there are said to be many Khameini body doubles.

Here, President Donald Trump accuses Iran of engaging in “mass terror from Lebanon to Yemen” and says, “we’re not going to put up with it any longer.” He called on the people of Iran to finish off the job and throw out Khameini. M.J. Truth picks up Trump’s press conference.

Fox News is now reporting that an Israeli strike took out the Ayatollah Ali Khameini. Fox News cited Israel as the source of the confirmation.

We will have to wait and see if Iran says only a body double was killed or if the actual Ayatollah Ali Khameini resurfaces. Here’s more from M.J. Truth.

Was Cartel Hit A CIA Operation?

Is an American now in charge of the CJNG — the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, one of the most powerful of cartels in Mexico? The cartel was previously operated by Nemesio Oseguera Cervar, nicknamed “El Mencho.” He died over the weekend after his crew got embroiled in a deadly gun battle with the Mexican military, prompting gang violence across the country.

Katarina Szulc, a Canadian investigative reporter, has become one of the experts on gang and cartel violence, often reporting from Mexico and Colombia through her blog Borderlands: Dispatches. She says one mystery has been resolved. El Mencho apparently had a succession plan, as his American-born stepson, Juan Carlos Valencia González , has supposedly emerged as the new leader of CJNG.

But several questions remain. For instance, will there be any internal violence within the gang — anyone seeking to carve out some territory for themselves? Does the new leader have the muscle — and the brains — to survive? Also, did the CIA play any role in Sunday’s shootout. Is it intertwined at all in CJNG? Szulc is interviewed by Clayton Morris on Redacted News.

The Cartel War Done Right!

Mexico is Not in Civil War, The Cartels Are! Going up against the cartels makes a lot more sense than launching a war on Iran!

Cartel War: The Bigger Story

Notorious Mexican drug lord El Mencho was killed in a Mexican government raid to arrest him. But was this whole operation a result of a pressure campaign from President Trump?

Glenn Beck speaks to Breitbart Cartel Chronicles co-founder Brandon Darby, who had warned Glenn about El Mencho last year. Darby shares his critical insight into the operation and what Mexico and the United States may look like going forward.

Juan O’Savin tells David “Nino” Rodriguez that Mexicans, as well as Americans living in Mexico, can expect hell over the next few weeks as the war against the cartels rages, especially in tourist zones like Puerto Vallarta. But O’Savin says the Mexican government had no choice but to act. Otherwise, the cartels would have continued to ramp up violence for years ahead.

Now, there will be a period of intense clashes, but hopefully, some light will shine through the tunnel soon. One remaining question: Will the United States enter the fray, sending the U.S. military to dig the cartels out of the rat traps they have set along our southern border? President Donald Trump has offered to help fight these fiends, but Mexico has resisted. Could that change over the weeks ahead?

O’Savin believes both Mexico and the United States would like this battle to end ahead of the 2026 World Cup. That will see the world’s soccer teams compete in staged matches in the United States, Mexico and Canada this summer from June 11 through July 19. The Mexican games will be in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey.

Drug Cartel Ravaging Mexico

Mexico is under siege from vicious members of an embattled drug cartel. They have unleashed havoc across the country, particularly attacking tourist and commercial hotspots including Puerto Vallarta.

The U.S. Embassy has issued an emergency security alert for Americans living in five Mexican provinces — Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero and Nuevo León. Americans in those provinces should seek out safe quarters and remain inside while the violence occurs. Two of those provinces are directly south of Texas, while the others lie along the Pacific Coast in the vicinity of Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta.

The firestorm has been touched off  by the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, “El Mencho,” leader of Jalisco’s New Generation Cartel. The Mexican Army, which gunned down Cervantes, has reported a surge of kidnappings, torched buildings and road blockages following his death. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.

A Bead On Thomas Crooks

Judicial Watch has forced the release of 37 heavily redacted pages from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. dealing with the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.

The documents reveal that law enforcement personnel broadcast radio warnings about an “unknown male acting suspiciously” prior to the attempted assassination of then-candidate Donald Trump at the July 13, 2024, rally in Butler, PA.

These are the first records the FBI has released about the Butler assassination attempt on Trump. Will be interesting if other documents confirm any advance knowledge of the alleged assassin Thomas Crooks. Here’s more from Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
