WATCH Infowars’ Alex Jones Admit Sandy Hook Shooting Was ‘100% Real’ at Defamation Trial

Infowars founder Alex Jones told a Texas courtroom on Wednesday that he now understands the massacre of 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut, in 2012 was “100% real” and not “a giant hoax,” as he has maintained for years.

"Especially since I've met the parents. It's 100% real," Jones said at his trial on Wednesday.

“I truly, when I said those statements, when I say something I mean it, that I really could believe that it was totally staged at that point,” Jones said, adding that he was influenced by Steve Pieczenick, a former State Department adviser turned purveyor of conspiracy theories.

However, he then tried to spin the story and make himself the victim, saying the media “ran with lies that I was saying it wasn’t real.”

“It’s incredible, they won’t let me take it back,” he said. “They just want to keep me in the position of being ‘the Sandy Hook man.’”

The defamation trial had been brought by Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose son Jesse Lewis was among those killed by gunman Adam Lanza in the Sandy Hook shooting. According to Jones’ prior claims, no one had been killed at Sandy Hook and those seen mourning were “crisis actors” who were part of a US Department of Homeland Security drill.

"I am a mother first and foremost and I know you are a father. My son existed," Lewis said to Jones during her testimony. "I am not deep state … I know you know that … And yet you're going to leave this courthouse and say it again on your show."

“Do you think I’m an actor?” Lewis asked Jones at one point. Jones told her that he didn’t, but was admonished by the judge for speaking out of turn.

They are seeking $150 million in damages from Jones in response to the suffering, death threats and harassment they’ve endured as a result of what Jones has said on his radio show.

Jones has been forced to pay damages to several other families of Sandy Hook victims and declared bankruptcy in April as a result.

These Harm-Reduction Facilities Are Slated for Biden Administration Grants. They’re Also Distributing Crack Pipes.

Two Maine organizations slated to receive funding from a controversial Biden administration grant program for groups that support a "harm reduction" approach to drug treatment are actively distributing crack pipes to addicts, the Free Beacon learned at visits to these sites.

The Church of Safe Injection, which bills itself as a "nonprofit that fights for the health, rights, and dignity of people who use drugs (PWUD)," will receive funding through a $1.2 million grant the Biden administration awarded to a coalition of Maine groups. A Free Beacon reporter last week picked up a crack pipe and meth pipe at its Lewiston, Maine, office. The organization did not provide a smoking kit, which often includes a mouthpiece, copper wool, and alcohol wipes along with the pipe.

Maine Access Points, another organization set to receive funding through the grant, provided a Free Beacon reporter a bag of a dozen crack pipes in Sanford, Maine, along with foil and a smoking kit that contained a mouthpiece, copper scrubber, lip balm, and instructions on how to smoke crack cocaine. The organization also handed out three meth pipes, a snorting kit, naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and a condom. Maine Access Points has a phone number for each of its five harm reduction facilities in the state. When a Free Beacon reporter texted to ask if the Sanford location distributed crack pipes, an employee responded, "Yes💯😊🥰."

The explanation emerging from the organizations—which cop to distributing crack pipes and receiving taxpayer funding, but insist they are not using taxpayer funds to purchase the crack pipes—paints a far messier picture than the Biden administration's haughty dismissal of initial reports on the grant program as "misinformation."

When the Free Beacon reported in February that the Biden administration was set to fund the distribution of crack pipes through a harm-reduction program intended to advance "racial equity," Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra—facing blowback—said that "no federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to put pipes in safe smoking kits." Likewise, former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that crack pipes were "never a part of the kit" and that "we don't support federal funding, indirect or direct, for pipes."

The two Maine groups that provided the Free Beacon crack pipes did so separately from their smoking kits. This distinguished the groups from the five harm reduction locations along the East Coast that provided the Free Beacon with crack pipes within their smoking kits.

A spokeswoman for the Church of Safe Injection, Zoe Brokos, told the Free Beacon that the organization has yet to receive the federal funds it was awarded, and plans to use them to purchase "wound care kit supplies such as alcohol pads, gauze pads, and bandages." Brokos added that her organization will continue to distribute crack pipes and meth pipes but will not use federal grants to fund them.

Maine Access Points did not respond to a request for comment.

Church of Safe Injection and Maine Access Points—in collaboration with MaineHealth, the state's largest health system, and Amistad, a peer support group for drug addicts—are using the taxpayer-funded grants to facilitate the distribution of drug paraphernalia in each of Maine's 16 counties, with a focus on LGBT and homeless drug users, according to HHS grant information. The grant is set to be renewed annually through 2023.

Although Church of Safe Injection and Maine Access Points help oversee the HHS grant award funds, the department omitted the two harm reduction groups from the grant recipient announcement, listing only MaineHealth. A local CBS affiliate reported in June that both harm reduction groups are grant recipients, and the groups celebrated the award funding in separate Facebook posts. The government's omission raises questions as to why the groups were left off the Biden administration's list of grant recipients.

An HHS spokesman told the Free Beacon that the federal funds have yet to be used by either harm reduction organization.

"As we have said, harm reduction grant dollars cannot be used to purchase pipes. Federal law prohibits the sale or offer of drug paraphernalia," the spokesman said. "The harm reduction grant dollars, while awarded, have not yet been withdrawn by the organizations in question."

The White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Graham Phillips: British Reporter Is Exiled and Has His Banking Accounts Frozen for Telling the Truth

An unremarkable Turkish café-takeaway in London, with its slowly turning rolls of doner lamb and chicken, was a strange setting for the meeting. Graham Phillips, a YouTube journalist, had organised a fund-raising event at a hall in Islington, seeking contributions for a drone and other equipment. He had briefly returned from the Donbas region of Ukraine, where the government was using military force to suppress an alleged separatist movement. This was an untold story in Western mainstream media, and Phillips wanted to do more than basic recordings with his mobile phone. He also wanted to encourage others to come out to Donetsk, where he was based, to see and share the reality.

However, Ukrainian nationalists heard about this, and the hall owner cancelled the booking. A sign on the door redirected people to a nearby pub, where Phillips was intending to use the function room. This too was stopped when the landlord received threats. And so those who remained gathered in the kebab shop. It was a mixed crowd: Eurosceptics, Stop the War activists, Russian emigrants – and possibly MI6. Phillips began his address, showing photographs of dead or injured civilians, but was heckled by a smartly-dressed man shouting: ‘those people are terrorists’. Phillips demanded that he leave, and the two adversaries almost came to fisticuffs until they were separated by my friend and others.

This was back in 2015, when Phillips was already a thorn in the side to the Russophobic establishment. He has spent years with the Donetsk people’s militia, men (and some women) who took up arms against their oppressors, having military experience from conscription in their youth, or defectors from the Ukrainian army.

Phillips earned respect from his hosts for his bravery in reportage, accompanying fighters as bullets whizzed past. He was on the frontline of the Battle of Debaltseve, a vital road and rail junction where government troops were forced to retreat after three weeks of street fighting, with heavy losses on both sides.

When the Kiev government broke the Minsk accords in 2014 and 2015, the West did nothing. It was not until this year that Putin’s patience finally ran out. By then, about fourteen thousand had died in the uneven conflict. Aware of a coming offensive by the heavily armed Ukrainian forces, the Russians moved into the Donbas, supported by the resistance in Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts.

Phillips, like his American counterpart Patrick Lancaster, filmed the scenes and interviewed citizens which Western media failed to cover. If you took the BBC for the truth, you wouldn’t know that Russian soldiers are treated as saviours by residents of cities such as Mariupol and Sevierodonetsk, Showing the trail of destruction after its retreat, Phillips accused the Ukrainian army of war crimes: civilians who tried to evacuate were beaten by the Azov Battalion who blocked all exit roads with destroyed cars (this video was deleted by YouTube).

Here is video of Graham Phillips in Ukraine discussing his persecution in the UK.

When British mercenary Aiden Aslin was captured and prosecuted by the self-declared Donetsk People’s Republic, British media cried foul. When Phillips interviewed the prisoner (with his consent) Tory ministers accused him of a war crime. The Geneva Convention, as they should know, does not apply to mercenaries, who are fair game for captors. In July the UK government included Phillips in its sanctions against Russia and perceived accomplices.

By contrast to other enemies of the state, Phillips has had it easy. Unlike Julian Assange and Tommy Robinson, also persecuted for speaking truth to power, he was abroad and untouchable. Instead, Liz Truss’ would-be war office at Westminster froze his assets and blocked his bank account. This is a radical and dangerous development in our political and social history, although it was given limited attention on mainstream media, apart from outspoken Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens.

Russia accuses Ukraine of mistreating POWs

The Russian Defense Ministry provided details of what it called Kiev’s abysmal treatment of captives

Moscow has scrupulously observed the Geneva Conventions on the treatment of prisoners, while the government of Ukraine has tortured, starved and deprived of medical care the Russian soldiers in its captivity, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed on Wednesday. The West’s unwillingness to hold Kiev accountable has resulted in violations and outright crimes, Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin told reporters.

Russia has taken “painstaking” steps to observe the Geneva Convention on the treatment of POWs, among them holding more than 40 weekly meetings with representatives of the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and establishing a medical commission on seriously ill and injured prisoners. So far, 18 such prisoners were sent back to Ukraine, General Fomin said.

There have also been 27 exchanges of POWs and the bodies of dead servicemen, while the ICRC has received more than 1,500 letters home from the Ukrainian prisoners. Detained Ukrainian soldiers can also make phone calls to their families, Fomin said, all in accordance with Article 71 of the convention.

Fomin’s press conference came after the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine said it was appalled by a video allegedly showing a Russian soldier castrating a bound and gagged Ukrainian captive. In a statement on Friday, the commission reminded everyone that “torture and summary executions of prisoners of war” are war crimes. The Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s office has launched an investigation into the video, to establish where and when it might have taken place.

The Russian general did not address the video directly. He did, however, say that while Russia has treated its prisoners in full accordance with international law, Ukraine has not.

According to a survey of exchanged service members, both Russian and those of the Donbass republics, 81% of the prisoners were subjected to beatings and other physical violence, while 55% were forced to film propaganda videos. Some 46% received no medical care, 79% were given no opportunity to contact relatives, and 19% were given poor or insufficient meals.

One detention center, run by the Ukrainian security service SBU in Kiev, gave captives only 50 grams of porridge, a piece of bread and a glass of water a day, while keeping them blindfolded.

Fomin also brought up videos circulating online showing “torture and abuse,” as well as extrajudicial executions and “monstrous acts of violence” against Russian and Donbass POWs. “Ukrainian Nazis” have also attempted to extort the families of captives for ransom, he said.

Russia has regularly informed the international humanitarian structures of Ukraine’s behavior, with requests to influence the Kiev government, but to little or no effect, Fomin said.

In addition to the mistreatment of prisoners, according to the Russian military, Ukrainian forces have been using civilians as human shields, as well as using Western-supplied weapons and banned ordnance – such as cluster munitions and landmines – to target civilians in the Donetsk and Lugansk republics. The international community has turned a blind eye to these atrocities, Fomin said, allowing them to continue.

Rep. Ralph Norman: Biden admin 'sold out' on Iran deal

"[T[his is such a dangerous time with a feckless administration"

Republican South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman on Wednesday said the Biden administration had "set a low bar with corruption" and that the government had "sold out" in its efforts to secure a nuclear deal with Iran.

Appearing on the "Just the News, Not Noise" television show, Norman told cohosts John Solomon and Amanda Head that the Department of Homeland Security was attempting to conceal damaging information from watchdogs and the public.

"The DHS under [Alejandro] Mayorkas sent a minute memo out, asking the Border Patrol agents to withhold information from the Office of Inspector General," he began. "All the time, we've seen the highest numbers ever, of illegal immigrants in April and May. 200,000 in June. They don't want this information out."

"[F]or Mayorkas to promote this is sad, and we can't, you can't tolerate it," Norman asserted. "That's why the letter went out. And we're gonna stay on this until they answer but he's never answered before. So, we'll see what he does now."

The Republican then pivoted to discuss the administration's pursuit of a renewed nuclear agreement with the Iranian government, lamenting the generous terms Biden appears poised to offer Tehran.

"Well, you know, they've sold out. I mean, there's no other way to consider what they've done with Iran, basically give them uranium giving them nukes to fight this country and other countries that represent freedom," he said. "And [the] Democratic Party, you don't hear anything out of any criticism coming from any of them."

"[T[his is such a dangerous time with a feckless administration, who is begging foreign countries not only to sell us oil, but giving Iran a seat at the table with negotiations. For us, and along with Russia, it makes no sense. And just shows you how off base and how un-American this administration is," Norman asserted.

He went on to address the results of the Tuesday evening primary elections, pointing to the defeat of Michigan Republican Rep. Peter Meijer as evidence of former President Donald Trump's continued influence in the party.

"The Meijer defeat was was pretty big. And I think you'll see a string of them. It's a, you know, people saw the results under Donald Trump. People saw that he loved the country, the economy was doing well," he insisted. "He put priorities in place, the military was strong. Countries would never do [that] to Donald Trump, what they're doing to Joe Biden now because they see him as a weak, ineffective leader.

"And so the Trump endorsement is huge. And it was in South Carolina, I know it will be all over the country, you don't have a 97% success rate for no reason people see through it. They've dismissed the mainstream media because they're not really to be honest with you not relevant anymore. So Donald Trump's brand is alive and well today," he concluded.

Senate witness cites Fauci for 'repeated demonstrably false' denials of gain-of-function research

Rutgers molecular biologist Richard Ebright has previously accused NIAID and NIH directors of lying to the public.

In a Senate hearing on gain-of-function (GoF) research on viruses, which some scientists believe is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, longtime National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci came in for particular scorn.

Dr. Fauci has made "untruthful" statements on "repeated occasions to the public, to the press and to policymakers," Rutgers University molecular biologist Richard Ebright told the Senate Homeland Security Emerging Threats Subcommittee at a hearing Wednesday chaired by ranking member Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), according to the Daily Caller.

"I do not understand why those statements are being made because they are demonstrably false," Ebright continued, explaining that GoF research creates "new health threats … that did not exist previously and that might not have come to exist by natural means for tens, hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years."

At a May 2021 hearing of the Senate Health Committee, Fauci unequivocally denied a claim by Paul that the National Institutes of Health funded gain-of-function research at a Chinese lab widely suspected to be the source of SARS-CoV-2. NIH "has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology," Fauci declared. He further denied that University of North Carolina virologist Ralph Baric was doing GoF research, while at the same time allowing that if he was, "it is according to the guidelines and is being conducted in North Carolina, not in China.”

It's at least the second time Ebright has accused Fauci of lying, though previously he included Fauci in a group of lying officials.

NIH Principal Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak told the House Oversight Committee last fall that NIH-funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology using a modified bat coronavirus made mice "sicker" than the original virus, an "unexpected result of the research."

Ebright said at the time this showed Fauci and NIH Director Francis Collins made "untruthful assertions" about not funding GoF research.

"The NIH received the relevant documents in 2018 and reviewed the documents in 2020 and again in 2021," his tweet stated. "The NIH — specifically, Collins, Fauci, and Tabak — lied to Congress, lied to the press, and lied to the public. Knowingly. Willfully. Brazenly."

Senate votes to let Sweden, Finland join NATO

Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley was the only opposition vote

The Senate on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to accept the application of Sweden and Finland to join NATO amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The upper chamber voted 95-1 to approve the request, according to USA Today. Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley was the only opposition vote.

The junior Missouri senator cited concerns that investing too much of America's resources in Europe to contain Russia would render it helpless against growing Chinese imperialism.

“America’s greatest foreign adversary doesn’t loom over Europe. It looms in Asia. I am talking of course about the People’s Republic of China. And when it comes to Chinese imperialism, the American people should know the truth: the United States is not ready to resist it," he wrote in an op-ed before the vote. "Expanding American security commitments in Europe now would only make that problem worse—and America, less safe.”

The two Baltic nations submitted their applications simultaneously following Moscow's attack on its western neighbor. They will need unanimous support from the member nations to join the bloc.

Turkey previously announced it would oppose Sweden and Finland's bids, but later changed course after receiving promises from Stockholm and Helsinki that the pair would work to address concerns about terrorist activities within their countries.

Premier League Footballers Likely to Stop ‘Taking a Knee’ for BLM

Premier League footballers are likely to stop ‘taking a knee’ this upcoming season after the gesture lost impact following a number of damaging revelations about Black Lives Matter.

The virtue signaling gesture began being performed in June 2020, shortly after the death of George Floyd and amidst innumerable violent riots in the United States which claimed dozens of lives.

However, despite football pundits claiming the gesture merely represented an “anti-racism” stance and had nothing to do with BLM, it was born out of police officers and other public figures displaying it to show deference to the Black Lives Matter movement.

According to media reports, the gesture is likely to be scrapped for the new Premier League season, which starts this weekend, although it could return for selected matches.

“A meeting between the 20 Premier League captains took place on Thursday with the topic of whether to keep taking the knee debated, but, after a wide variety of views, no final decision has been made and another get-together is pencilled in for this week,” reports the Telegraph.

“Clubs will hold internal discussions this week, with Newcastle reported to be talking about the issue today, and a decision is expected imminently with the top flight set to get under way on Friday when Palace host Arsenal.”

Bournemouth Football club have already decided not to have their players take a knee, asserting that the gesture “has run its course and is no longer having the effect it first did.”

England football players, led by woke manager Gareth Southgate, are however expected to continue to take a knee despite being booed for doing so by sections of their own fans.

Southgate notoriously chose black players to take crucial penalties during the Euro 2021 final with Italy, presumably in an attempt to settle the argument, but they all missed and England lost the tournament.

Of course, taking a knee has little to do with stopping racism and everything to do with forcing people to display loyalty to regime narratives. It’s a performative re-affirmation of cognitive conformity and slavish mental obedience.

Since June 2020, multiple damaging scandals have emerged proving that while being a destructive extremist movement on the ground, the leaders of Black Lives Matter are all mercenary grifters who have exploited it to enrich themselves.

As we highlighted back in April, the number of black Americans murdered has jumped by 32 per cent, with experts blaming the rise on cops not patrolling high crime areas thanks to Black Lives Matter-endorsed “defund the police” activism.

A poll conducted in November last year found that a majority of Americans opposed BLM for the first time since before the death of George Floyd.

The summer 2020 riots, described by news outlets like CNN as “mostly peaceful,” were the most damaging in U.S. history, with total insurance industry payouts exceeding $2 billion.

Justice Department Sues Peter Navarro to Compel Him to Produce Trump White House Emails After FBI Put Him in Leg Irons in Ambush Arrest

The Justice Department is suing (civilly) Dr. Peter Navarro to compel him to produce Trump White House emails after the FBI put him in leg irons during his recent arrest.

The DOJ is working to compel Navarro to turn over emails from a “non-official email account… to send and receive messages constituting Presidential records,” the Justice Department said in a court filing according to Politico.

Why didn’t Hillary Clinton get the same treatment from the DOJ after she used a personal email account to evade FOIA while she was the head of the Department of State?

Politico reported:

The Justice Department on Wednesday sued former Donald Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro in an effort to force him to turn over emails from his tenure in the White House.

Navarro, who worked for the White House during the entirety of Trump’s presidency, had used “at least one non-official email account … to send and receive messages constituting Presidential records,” the Justice Department said in a court filing. Attorneys also accused him of “wrongfully retaining them” in violation of federal record-keeping laws, as Navarro did not copy the messages into an official government account, nor did he respond to the National Archivist’s initial request for the emails.

The Justice Department approached Navarro about producing the missing emails, but he refused to return records “absent a grant of immunity for the act of returning such documents,” the department said.

The National Archives first became aware of Navarro’s use of a personal email account last year, according to the filing, after the House select panel investigating the coronavirus pandemic obtained emails showing Navarro used the ProtonMail account for official White House activities.

A federal grand jury in June indicted Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress after he refused to cooperate with Liz Cheney’s unconstitutional January 6 Committee.

Navarro faces two contempt counts: one for his failure to produce documents demanded by the committee and the other for failing to show up for subpoenaed testimony before House investigators.

According to Navarro, the feds put him in leg irons and threw him in a cell.

“They intercepted me gettin’ on the plane and then they put me in handcuffs, they bring me here. They put me in leg irons. They stick me in a cell,” Navarro said to reporters after his arrest.

Navarro did not take a plea on the contempt of Congress charges during last month’s status hearing.

Navarro’s federal case was assigned to US District Court Judge Amit Mehta, an Obama appointee.

Navarro’s civil suit was assigned to US District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Bill Clinton appointee.

How convenient.

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton made a great point: The DOJ never sued Hillary Clinton after she destroyed BlackBerrys and (personal) emails that were under subpoena.

Taylor Swift Refuses to Take Responsibility After Her Private Jet Tops with Highest Carbon Emissions List

Trump-hating singer and songwriter Taylor Swift issued a response to criticism when it was revealed that her jet had the worst carbon dioxide emissions of any private jet on the list.

In a recent report that was published by Yard, a digital marketing agency, they compiled a list of the celebrities whose private jets are the worst offenders in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide emissions they produce.

“After Kylie Jenner posted this Instagram of her and beau, Travis Scott’s private jets captioned: “you wanna take mine or yours?” the internet went crazy and many people took to social media platforms to share their feelings on Kylie’s private jet fiasco,” Yard wrote in its website.

The agency decided to take a deep dive into celebrities’ flights.

Taylor Swift landed herself in the top spot, beating out competitors such as Jay-Z, Floyd Mayweather, and Oprah Winfrey. Her plane is said to have racked up a total of 170 flights since January, putting her ahead of the competition.

Vox Senior Editor Fantasizes About Justice Alito’s Death with ‘Prewritten Obituary’

Vox senior editor Ian Millhiser openly fantasized about the death of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito by penning a “prewritten obituary” for him.

In a now-deleted tweet on Tuesday morning, Millhiser said that he had updated some of his “prewritten obituaries” to start off the “slow month” of August and shared his thoughts on the future death of Justice Samuel Alito.

“Justice Samuel Alito, who died on XXXX, was not devoid of any positive traits. He was a skilled attorney and a highly effective advocate for conservative causes,” noted Millhiser in his fake obituary.

“Had he spent his career as a litigator, he would almost certainly be remembered as one of the Republican Party’s leading Supreme Court practitioners,” he continued.

Millhiser concluded his obituary by describing Alito as a radical, partisan judge who took his cues from the Republican Party.

“The problem is that Justice Alito was, indeed, one of the Republican Party’s leading Supreme Court advocates — but he embraced this role while he was a sitting justice,” concluded Millhiser.
