Construction of Texas-Funded Border Wall Underway
https://www.breitbart.com/border/2021/12/18/construction-of-texas-funded-border-wall-underway/
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the State began construction of its own border wall. The announcement comes as construction crews began erecting bollard walls in the Rio Grande Valley Sector on Texas-owned property.
“Texas has officially started building its own border wall,” Governor Abbott tweeted on Friday. “Texas is stepping up to do the federal government’s job.”
“Three billion dollars of Texas taxpayer money has been devoted to this cause of Texas securing the border, and so we have a lot of money available to us to continue to build the wall,” the Texas governor said during an interview on Fox News’ “Varney & Co.” “For Texas [this] is going to cost less than it did for the Trump administration for one reason. And that’s because in Texas, unlike the Trump administration, we’re not having to devote money to acquire the land …The state of Texas owns [land] on the border itself.”
“There are property owners of massive acreage on the border who are fed up with Biden’s open border policies,” Abbott added, “and they are donating their land to Texas for us to be able to use that land for free to build a wall on their property.”
Earlier this year, the State of Texas began building additional border barriers in the Del Rio Sector which is now the second-busiest of the nine southwest border sectors.
Friday’s announcement of construction in Starr County, Texas, comes on the same day U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced that Border Patrol agents apprehended an additional 173,620 migrants in November, Breitbart Texas reported. Of those, 47,710 apprehensions — an increase of more than 175 percent over the previous November apprehensions — took place in the Rio Grande Valley Sector where the new state-funded construction project began.
Meet Ray Epps: The Fed-Protected Provocateur Who Appears To Have Led The Very First 1/6 Attack On The U.S. Capitol
https://www.revolver.news/2021/10/meet-ray-epps-the-fed-protected-provocateur-who-appears-to-have-led-the-very-first-1-6-attack-on-the-u-s-capitol/
https://archive.vn/wip/PjiA9
In a House hearing on Thursday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) questioned AG Merrick Garland about a mysterious man, Ray Epps, instructing protesters to enter the US Capitol building on January 5, and who later shepherded crowds towards the Capitol on January 6.
The story of the mystery man, Ray Epps, featured in Rep. Massie’s video above is in fact far more shocking than even the good Congressman implies in the hearing. It’s a story so strange, and so scandalous at every turn, that it threatens to shatter the entire official narrative of the “Capitol Breach” and expose yet another dimension of proactive federal involvement in the so-called “insurrection” of January 6th.
If Revolver News’s previous reporting points to a proactive role of the federal government in relation to the conspiracy cases against Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, the Ray Epps story that follows suggests a similar, yet more egregious, explicit, direct and immediate degree of federal involvement in the breach of the Capitol itself.
Here is a transcript of Thomas Massie’s exchange with the Attorney General, just in case you skipped past the video above.
Rep. Massie: As far as we can determine, the individual who was saying he’ll probably go to jail, he’ll probably be arrested, but they need to go into the Capitol the next day, is then directing people into the Capitol the next day, is then the next day directing people to the Capitol. And as far as we can find. You said this is one of the most sweeping in history. Have you seen that video, or those frames from that video?
AG Garland: So as I said at the outset, one of the norms of the Justice Department is to not comment on pending investigations, and particularly not to comment on particular scenes or particular individuals.
Rep. Massie: I was hoping today to give you an opportunity to put to rest the concerns that people have that there were federal agents or assets of the federal government present on January 5 and January 6. Can you tell us, without talking about particular incidents or particular videos, how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on January 6, whether they agitated to go into the Capitol, and if any of them did?
AG Garland: So I’m not going to violate this norm of, uh, of, of, of, the rule of law.
[Looks down and away]
I’m not going to comment on an investigation that’s ongoing.
There is good reason why AG Garland ran from Massie’s question faster than he could find words — and why he couldn’t even keep eye contact as he was dodging Massie’s gaze.
After months of research, Revolver’s investigative reporting team can now reveal that Ray Epps appears to be among the primary orchestrators of the very first breach of the Capitol’s police barricades at 12:50pm on January 6. Epps appears to have led the “breach team” that committed the very first illegal acts on that fateful day. What’s more, Epps and his “breach team” did all their dirty work with 20 minutes still remaining in President Trump’s National Mall speech, and with the vast majority of Trump supporters still 30 minutes away from the Capitol.
Secondly, Revolver also determined, and will prove below, that the the FBI stealthily removed Ray Epps from its Capitol Violence Most Wanted List on July 1, just one day after Revolver exposed the inexplicable and puzzlesome FBI protection of known Epps associate and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes. July 1 was also just one day after separate New York Times report amplified a glaring, falsifiable lie about Epps’s role in the events of January 6.
Lastly, Ray Epps appears to have worked alongside several individuals — many of them suspiciously unindicted — to carry out a breach of the police barricades that induced a subsequent flood of unsuspecting MAGA protesters to unwittingly trespass on Capitol restricted grounds and place themselves in legal jeopardy.

Meet Ghislaine: Daddy’s Girl
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2021/12/investigative-reports/meet-ghislaine-daddys-girl/
Absent from mainstream discourse on Ghislaine Maxwell’s ongoing trial is any mention of the ties, not only of herself, but her family, to Israeli intelligence. Those ties, forged by Ghislaine’s father Robert Maxwell, are critical to understanding Ghislaine’s history and her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual blackmail and trafficking network.
The trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, the alleged madam of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual blackmail and sex trafficking network, has attracted considerable mainstream and independent media attention, though not as much as one might expect given the level of media attention that surrounded Epstein’s 2019 arrest and death or given the public interest in the Epstein/Maxwell scandal and its broader implications.
Unsurprisingly, the broader implications of the Epstein/Maxwell scandal have been largely, if not entirely absent, from mainstream media (and some independent media) coverage of Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial as well as absent from the case itself. For example, despite physical evidence of sexual blackmail stored at Epstein’s residences being shown by the prosecution (with the names of those incriminated being notably redacted), the prosecution chose not to mention even the potential role of blackmail in Ghislaine Maxwell’s activities and motives as it related to her involvement in sex trafficking activities alongside Jeffrey Epstein. Not only that, but the names of Ghislaine’s close contacts and even some of her defense witnesses, along with considerable information about her role in Epstein’s network that is very much in the public interest, is due to be filed under seal and forever hidden from the public, either due to “deals” made between the prosecution and the defense in this case or due to rulings from the judge overseeing the case.
Going hand in hand with the blackmail angle of this case is the specter of Ghislaine Maxwell’s family ties to intelligence agencies, as well as the intelligence ties of Jeffrey Epstein himself. Given that blackmail, particularly sexual blackmail, has been used by intelligence agencies – particularly in the US and Israel – since the 1940s and beyond, it is deeply troubling that neither the blackmail or intelligence angle has played any role in the prosecution’s case or in the mainstream media’s coverage of the trial.
To remedy this lack of coverage, Unlimited Hangout is publishing a 2-part investigative report entitled “Meet Ghislaine”, which is adapted from this author’s upcoming book on the subject. This investigation will detail key aspects of Ghislaine Maxwell’s links to intelligence agencies and sexual blackmail activities that are relevant to the case against her and perhaps explain the silence from the prosecution and their interest in sealing potentially incriminating evidence against Ghislaine from public scrutiny. Part 1 of this article will focus on Ghislaine’s father, Robert Maxwell, a “larger than life” figure who straddled the worlds of both business and espionage and whose daughters inherited different aspects of his espionage contacts and activities as well as his influence empire following his 1991 death.

Thomas Renz: Everything about the plandemic is based on fear and manipulation
https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-12-18-thomas-renz-plandemic-based-on-fear-manipulation.html
(Natural News) Nothing about the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) is based on facts and reason, it turns out. Attorney Thomas Renz said the whole thing is an exercise in fear and manipulation.
At a recent Reawaken America tour event, Renz presented a slideshow explaining how the entire system, including government agencies, the mainstream media and Big Pharma, have been lying to the public to push more tyranny and sell more drugs.
The below clip from Brighteon.com contains a portion of the speech from Renz – be sure to watch:
https://www.brighteon.com/ad09bdc9-0d8f-4147-b897-d52e5fc358e2
As an attorney, Renz knows that tackling these crimes against humanity requires a whole lot more than just a single court case.
“When you have crimes on such a grand scale that it affects an entire population, you need to start looking at something bigger than a singular court,” he stated.
“That’s why we need to look at something on an international scale and we need to put a lot of people in jail.”
Renz is calling this endeavorNuremberg 2.0after the first Nuremberg Trials that occurred after World War II.
“This whole thing is a fraud,” Renz says about the plandemic. “Fear, manipulation, and ultimately fraud and death are driving it. We have to have independent investigations by people with the authority to prosecute criminally.”
Omicron is a result of these vaccines: it’s the vaxx variant
The latest segment of the scamdemic is the so-called “omicron,” or moronic, variant. Like the previous variant “delta,” moronic is being used to scare even more people into giving up their rights.
And all of this was mapped out long ago by the likes of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which uses much the same tactics to sell influenza vaccines.
By constantly spreading fear about serious injury or death, the CDC and its partners at Big Pharma and Big Media are able to convince millions to take seasonal injections that provide no benefits – only harm.
That little racket has been going on for decades, and now the system is upping the ante with Tony Fauci Flu shots, which are rapidly becoming just like flu shots with an endless array of “booster” injections.
The CDC actively colludes with Big Pharma to drive this fear campaign for both flu shots and COVID shots. Renz provided evidence of this in his slideshow depicting the CDC’s tactics in the agency’s own words. (Related: America’s Frontline Doctors attorney files lawsuit against U.S. government for 45,000 covid vaccine deaths.)
“You can switch flu for COVID anytime,” Renz said about how the tactics are the same for both flu shots and COVID shots.
The media also plays its part by creating a “high level of concern and anxiety” about the flu, COVID or whatever the disease of the day might be.
As we now know, everything has become a COVID death. This is how they have been able to spike the numbers and scare millions of people into masking, distancing, vaccinating and now boosting – all without question.
Renz presented other noteworthy information on his website, including:
• Department of Defense (DoD) documents showing that the government tracks vaccination status based on race
• Whistleblower data showing that COVID jabs are far deadlier than the government is admitting
• Figures showing that COVID jab deaths are off the charts
“Attorney Thomas Renz is calling for a special independent prosecutor to investigate criminal and civil violations by Dr. Anthony Fauci, FDA, CDC, DHHS, and others like the mainstream media who may be culpable in the marketing & authorization of this deadly injection,” the website stated.
It also may have been a clue to search for things using letters that can be switched.

We Have Their Names: Here’s a List of Every Single House Democrat Not Running for Re-Election in 2022
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/names-list-every-single-house-democrat-not-running-re-election-2022/
Is it possible an upcoming red wave is driving Democrats from the House?
It’s difficult to say, since politicians often give a familiar reason for leaving office — “I want to spend more time with my family” — that may or may not be true.
But of the 32 House members not running for re-election in 2022, 20 are Democrats, according to NPR.
Those Democrats are:
Ann Kirkpatrick of Arizona
Alan Lowenthal, Jackie Speier and Karen Bass of California
Val Demings and Charlie Crist of Florida
Cheri Bustos of Illinois
John Yarmuth of Kentucky
Anthony Brown of Maryland
G.K. Butterfield and David Price of North Carolina
Tom Suozzi of New York
Tim Ryan of Ohio
Peter DeFazio of Oregon
Conor Lamb and Mike Doyle of Pennsylvania
Eddie Bernice Johnson and Filemon Vela of Texas
Peter Welch of Vermont
Ron Kind of Wisconsin
Eight of those Democrats are leaving the House to run for other offices.
Two retiring House Democrats are in their 60s (Bustos and Doyle), five are in their 70s (Speier, Kirkpatrick, DeFazio, Yarmuth and Butterfield) and three are 80 or older (Lowenthal, Price and Johnson).
So the argument can be made that the retirees are simply feeling their age and hanging it up.
But is that the case? After all, according to the FiscalNote blog, close to a fifth of the House is over 70, which raises the question of whether Democrats are bailing because the midterms are looking bad for them.
Riding President Joe Biden’s coattails won’t help; his poll numbers would make him a lead weight. (“Please, Mr. President,” they might say, “go campaign for somebody else.”)
Meanwhile, there are five House Republicans who aren’t running in 2022 and aren’t seeking another office; surprisingly, all but one are below the average House age of 58. They are Anthony Gonzales of Ohio, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Devin Nunes of California, Tom Reed of New York and Kevin Brady of Texas.
Only one Democrat, 81-year-old Patrick Leahy of Vermont, is retiring from the Senate, along with five Republicans. The departing Republicans are essentially retirement age — they average 70 in a Senate with an average age of 63. And all are from states considered to be red.
Those senators are Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Rob Portman of Ohio, Roy Blunt of Missouri and Richard Shelby of Alabama.
Despite Republican departures, rumors of a red wave are rumbling beneath the surface.
What are the pundits predicting for the 2022 midterms? How about a “superstorm” facing Democrats?
“Betting markets overwhelmingly expect Republicans to retake the House next year, and that’s probably a very good bet,” The Washington Post reported.
Another left-wing outlet, The New York Times, quoted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy: “If you’re a Democrat and President Biden won your seat by 16 points, you’re in a competitive race next year. … You are no longer safe.”
The Times’ Shane Goldmacher appeared to be taking him seriously, acknowledging the “undisputed truth undergirding McCarthy’s braggadocio.”
“Democratic support has plunged nationally in recent months,” Goldmacher noted. “The party’s loss in Virginia was just the most consequential example.”
Meanwhile, a report on the midterms from another left-wing bubble — CBS News — turned into a two-person Democratic strategy session.
