DHS Warns of ‘Increasing’ Threat of Violence From ‘Trump Conspiracy’ – Admits There is No Evidence of Specific Plot

The Department of Homeland Security has once again released a bulletin warning of an ‘increasing but modest’ threat of violence related to an online ‘conspiracy theory’ that Trump will be reinstated.

The DHS also conceded there is no specific evidence of a credible plot.

“Some conspiracy theories associated with reinstating former President Trump have included calls for violence if desired outcomes are not realized,” according to a DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis bulletin obtained by ABC News.

ABC News reported:

“Over the last few days what has occurred is there’s been much more public visibility, meaning the discussions and these theories have migrated away from being contained within the conspiracy and extremist online communities, to where they’re being the topic of discussion on web forums, or more public web forums, and even within the sort of media ecosystem,” a senior DHS official explained.

DHS says in the bulletin they do not have specific evidence there is a plot imminent.

“As public visibility of the narratives increases, we are concerned about more calls to violence. Reporting indicates that the timing for these activities may occur during August 2021, although we lack information on specific plots or planned actions,” the bulletin sent to state and local partners reads.

The department “does not have the luxury of waiting till we uncover information with the level of specificity, regarding a potential location and the time of an attack” to act on potential threats due to the threat environment, the senior DHS official explained.

“Past circumstances have illustrated that calls for violence could expand rapidly in the public domain and may be occurring outside of publicly available channels. As such, lone offenders and small groups of individuals could mobilize to violence with little-to-no warning,” the bulletin says.

Maricopa County Continues To Claim Their FRAUDITs Performed By Two Voting Machine Companies Were Sufficient – THEY WEREN’T

After Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli issued a formal request to Attorney General Brnovich to investigate Maricopa County’s noncompliance with legislative subpoenas, Maricopa County continued to claim innocence.

Yesterday, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich issued a notice to Maricopa County with a request for a written response from the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 20, 2021.

On Wednesday, Maricopa County tweeted about the previous audits that they performed themselves with “certified, professional auditors”

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the County-led audits. We previously reported that the two companies chosen to conduct this audit were not certified until AFTER they were chosen.

Maricopa County Tweeted,

Our election professionals and Board members have complied w/Senate demands & supplied everything professional auditors would need to do their job. In fact, you can find results from 2 audits performed by certified companies the County hired here: https://maricopa.gov/5681/Elections-Equipment-Audit… #azaudit

Extreme leftist Secretary of State Katie Hobbs also shared a tweet featuring a video where Rachel Maddow refers to these “full-on actual recounts” in another classic Maddow meltdown.

Hobbs also blames the Arizona Senate for the lack of confidence in Arizona’s elections and labels this audit an embarrassment.

6 Killed in Alaska Sightseeing Plane Crash Identified

ALASKA—Six people who were killed in a sightseeing plane crash were recovered and identified after crews initially struggled to reach the wreckage in southeast Alaska due to poor weather conditions.

Alaska State Troopers identified the pilot and five passengers late Saturday following the crash Thursday. The aircraft went down as the pilot was returning the passengers to Ketchikan from Misty Fjords National Monument.

The passengers who died were Mark Henderson, 69, and Jacquelyn Komplin, 60, both of Napa, California; Andrea McArthur, 55, and Rachel McArthur, 20, both of Woodstock, Georgia; and Janet Kroll, 77, of Mount Prospect, Illinois. The pilot was Rolf Lanzendorfer, 64, of Cle Elum, Washington.

All five passengers were on an excursion off the Holland America Line cruise ship Nieuw Amsterdam. Ketchikan is a popular stop for cruise ships visiting Alaska, and cruise ship passengers can take various sightseeing excursions while in port.

Popular among them are small plane flights to Misty Fjords National Monument, where visitors can see glacier valleys, snow-capped peaks, and lakes in the wilderness area.

The plane’s emergency beacon was activated about 11:20 a.m. Thursday when it crashed near the monument, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

A helicopter company reported seeing wreckage on a ridgeline in the search area, and Coast Guard crew members found the wreckage around 2:40 pm. A Coast Guard helicopter lowered two rescue swimmers to the site, and they reported no survivors, the agency said.

However, poor weather and deteriorating visibility hampered early efforts to recover the bodies. Alaska State Troopers and members of the Ketchikan Volunteer Rescue Squad made it to the crash site Saturday afternoon via a chartered Temsco helicopter.

The bodies of the six people who died will be taken to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Anchorage, the troopers said.

The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration was also investigating.

Bahrain Diplomat Claims Iran Deal 'Has Caused Death of Dozens of Innocent Civilians' - Report

The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) required Iran to scale back its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief. Ex-US president Donald Trump, who sympathised with Israel in its rivalry with the Islamic Republic, ditched the agreement in 2018 and slammed Tehran with tough sanctions, reinforcing economic burdens for Iranians.

Bahraini Undersecretary for Political Affairs Sheikh Abdulla bin Ahmed bin Abdulla Al Khalifa claimed on Sunday that the 2015 Iran deal has caused "crises" and "deaths" across the Middle East, The Times of Israel reported.

According to the TOI, the diplomat said at a press briefing at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem that he had hopes the JCPOA would bring peace, "but on the contrary, it has fueled crises across the Middle East. It has increased the number of refugees that have fled into Europe. It has caused more instigation of extremism and hatred in many different regions across the Middle East."

"What result did we get out of the JCPOA, remind me?" the diplomat reportedly asked. "Was there any good result that came out of it? I do not think so. For us, we haven’t seen it."

He reportedly continued, slamming Iran for alleged interference in Bahrain's internal affairs, simultaneously accusing Tehran of supporting terrorism, and smuggling arms and drugs in the region.

"[The JCPOA] disregarded two other prime issues that the region is facing — namely [Iran's] ballistic missile programme and the malign behaviour of Iran… from what we have seen, the malign activities of Iran in the region are continuing," the foreign minister concluded, according to the TOI.

Some believe the 2015 nuclear agreement could indeed have triggered a refugee crisis in Europe, given that people fled from wars in Iraq and Syria in which both Israel and the Western allies played a significant role. In Syria, the state media reports that Israel has been conducting regular airstrikes, presumably targeting what they call Iranian proxies, though Damascus has condemned it as an attack on the Arab Republic's sovereignty.

Bahrain, along the United Arab Emirates, signed the US-brokered Abraham Accords at the White House in September to normalise ties with the Jewish State. The landmark rapprochement has met with harsh criticism among Palestinians, who consider it a betrayal among several Arab States that decades ago claimed to be foes of Israel.

Moderna names Australia among potential locations for COVID vaccine trial on children aged 6 months to 12 years

Australian babies as young as six months old could be part of a trial by vaccine manufacturer Moderna, if a plan flagged by the company goes ahead.

Key points:

Moderna wants to conduct a trial of 6,000 healthy children in the US and two other countries

The Finance Minister says any trial would have to be approved by Australia's medical regulator

Former deputy chief medical officer Nick Coatsworth has welcomed the idea of the trial

In its latest financial report, filed in the United States, Moderna included information about a number of planned trials, including one in around 6,000 healthy children aged between six months and 12 years old.

"The study will enroll in the US and up to two ex-US countries (e.g. Canada and/or Australia)," the report stated.

Finance Minister Simon Birmingham said he had limited details about Moderna's plan, but said they would have to apply to the medical regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), for approval of any trial.

"I'm aware of reports that Moderna is looking at what would be part of a global trial in to use of the vaccine on children younger than 12," he said.

The CIA Follows Tom Hanks, Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck And Other Celebrities On Instagram

The CIA follows multiple celebrities on Instagram.

After seeing a video tweeted by @queeralamode about the Central Intelligence Agency following a few celebrities, I hopped over to its Instagram account to check it out.

The CIA only follows 35 accounts, and 11 of them are celebrities. The CIA follows Melissa McCarthy, Claire Daines, Ryan Reynolds, John Krasinski, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Garner, Bryan Cranston, Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks, Pierce Brosnan and the official page for 007.

On the surface, this seems super weird and incredibly strange. I’m sure conspiracy theorists would love running with it, but in reality, a very simple explanation occurred to me after about 10 seconds.

Everyone on the list has starred in major films or TV shows about the intelligence community. Brosnan was James Bond, Affleck was in “Argo,” Craston was in “The Infiltrator,” Claire Daines was the face of “Homeland,” “Alias” made Jennifer Garner famous, Reynolds starred in “Safe House,” Krasinski is Jack Ryan, Tom Hanks was in “Bridge of Spies” and McCarthy starred in “Spy.”

So, it looks like the CIA enjoys following famous people in the entertainment industry who have built careers through roles related to its field.

Like I said, on the surface it seems super weird that the CIA would only follow 35 accounts and nearly 1/3 of them would be famous members of Hollywood.

However, once you dig in, it’s pretty obvious to me what’s going on here.

Having said all of that, being followed by the CIA on Instagram would be insanely cool. Of all the accounts that could follow, the CIA is right near the top of the list.

Let me know in the comments if you think my theory is correct!
