MUST WATCH: The FBI didn’t just watch Black leaders—they plotted their destruction.

Fred Hampton was 21. Feeding kids. Building power. They killed him for it.

📕 The Blackout Files has the receipts—surveillance, sabotage, murder.

During the kidnapping, the assailants, presumed to be ICE agents, knocked an elderly bystander who walks with a cane to the ground.

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power.

Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ).

Isn’t this a cover-up?

As I said about the MAHA report last week, it is disinformation from the U.S. government to the people of the United States.

Please call it what it is: false information intended to deliberately deceive or mislead individuals, often used by criminals and terrorists.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist
The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.
