“Globalists Are Marching Us Relentlessly Toward This Nuclear Armageddon” – EXCLUSIVE with Retired Colonel and Former Virginia State Senator Richard Black
Retired Virginia State Senator and former Marine Helicopter Pilot, career JAG Officer and Chief of the Army Criminal Law Division, Col. Richard Black, (USA Ret.) drafted a warning on the horror of nuclear war and shared it with the US Congress. He discussed it today at TGP.
On Tuesday, retired Col. Richard Black drafted an open letter to members of US Congress on the horrors of nuclear Armageddon being pushed by the globalists in response to Russian actions in Ukraine.
Below is his message and warning regarding the ease with which globalists are recommending the use of nuclear weapons against Russia.
Col. Richard H. Black, (USA Ret.) discussed in an interview with TGP his early years in the Marines. He described how he volunteered for duty in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot.
Col. Black has a storied history. He explained that he flew 269 combat missions as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. He also fought on the ground with the First Marine Division and was wounded with both of his radio men killed during an attack.
Col. Black later went to law school and was a career Judge Advocate Officer (JAG) and eventually became the Chief of the Army Criminal Law Division in the Office of the Judge Advocate General at the Pentagon.
Col. Black went on to become a Virginia State Senator.
Today Col. Black is concerned with the ease that individuals are throwing around the ‘nuclear’ word like no big deal. Black shared that Russia has thousands of nuclear warheads. He says you can’t just do a strike on Russian warheads and not expect a response and a nuclear war with catastrophic results.
Col. Black discussed the US’s intervention into Ukraine under Obama with Victoria Nuland’s involvement in the coup to replace the government there.
Col. Black discussed the rationale for Russia’s response in Ukraine, remembering the US’s reaction to the Cuban missile crisis. Col. Black mentioned being a kid and seeing the largest deployment of military equipment he’s ever seen heading towards Miami during the crisis. America didn’t want nuclear warheads 90 miles off the Florida coast and Russia didn’t want nuclear warheads in Ukraine.
This was a moving and amazing interview with an American hero.
Below is Retired Col. and former State Senator Richard Black’s interview with TGP regarding the horror of nuclear war.

Researchers Find 885 Websites Used as CIA Fronts a ‘Motivated Amateur Sleuth’ Could’ve Found
In 2018, Jenna McLaughlin and Zach Dorfman of Yahoo News reported that a system used by the CIA to covertly communicate with its assets around the world had been compromised by Iran and China around 2011. The compromise reportedly led to the death of “more than two dozen sources” in China in 2011 and 2012, and also reportedly led Iran to execute some CIA assets and imprison others.
Because the network was used by CIA assets around the world, the compromise also reportedly enabled Iran and China to track espionage activities outside of their borders, related to other countries.
While relevant oversight bodies reportedly performed an investigation into the as-yet-unreported compromise in 2013, Yahoo News reported that those responsible for the intelligence failures were never held accountable: “One of the central concerns among those familiar with the scope of the breakdown is the institutions responsible for it were never held accountable.”
In 2022, we learned from Reuters journalist Joel Schectman that a CIA asset who was captured in Iran, and subsequently served seven years in prison, communicated with his agency handlers via a hidden communications app on a website iraniangoals[.]com. Reuters reports that Iran’s compromise of the network may have led to the asset’s capture. We investigated the website in an effort to understand the vulnerabilities leveraged by Iran and China, and to learn whether the United States had been using an irresponsibly secured system for asset communication. Our investigation, led by Citizen Lab senior researcher Bill Marczak, confirmed the reports of a fatally insecure network.
We shared our findings with Schectman, whose Reuters story can be found here: America’s Throwaway Spies: How the CIA failed Iranian informants in its secret war with Tehran.
Extensive Design Flaws and Shortcuts
Using only a single website, as well as publicly available material such as historical internet scanning results and the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, we identified a network of 885 websites and have high confidence that the United States (US) Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) used these sites for covert communication.
The websites included similar Java, JavaScript, Adobe Flash, and CGI artifacts that implemented or apparently loaded covert communications apps. In addition, blocks of sequential IP addresses registered to apparently fictitious US companies were used to host some of the websites. All of these flaws would have facilitated discovery by hostile parties.

The FBI Is ‘Revoking’ Conservative Agents’ Security Clearances, GOP Lawmakers Allege
The FBI is revoking the security clearances of conservative agents and retaliating against suspected whistleblowers, three House Republicans alleged in a Thursday letter.
Republicans in both chambers of Congress have alleged widespread politicized misconduct in the FBI, most notably by a Washington, D.C., agent who investigated Hunter Biden. That agent, Timothy Thibault, resigned in August rather than face an internal review. Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has said that whistleblowers have approached his office to report internal misconduct in the bureau’s investigations into former President Donald Trump.
The FBI is cracking down on suspected whistleblowers in response, Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Darrell Issa of California, and Mike Johnson of Louisiana alleged in a letter to FBI Executive Assistant Director Jennifer Leigh Moore. Moore signed “many” clearance revocation orders and “retaliated against at least one whistleblower,” the lawmakers claimed.
“Once a whistleblower makes a protected disclosure, an agency is prohibited from retaliating against the employee for that disclosure by taking or failing to take a personnel action,” the Republicans wrote. “Your efforts to interfere with FBI employees who seek to expose the Bureau’s misconduct by communicating directly with Congress cannot be condoned.”
FBI agent Steve Friend was reportedly suspended and escorted from a Florida field office after he declined to participate in an arrest operation targeting a Jan. 6 Capitol riot suspect. Friend filed a whistleblower report detailing his experience, according to the New York Post.
Other whistleblowers have reportedly alleged that the FBI is pulling agents off of child sexual abuse cases to investigate the Capitol riot and that bureau superiors told agents not to look into Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Some Republicans, like Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, have called on Congress to defund the FBI. Others within the party, including former Vice President Mike Pence and Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw, have compared those comments to Democrats’ attempts to defund the police.
The FBI denied wrongdoing in a statement to the Daily Caller.
“The FBI does not target or take adverse action against employees for exercising their First Amendment rights or for their political views; to allege otherwise is false and misleading.The FBI is required to follow established policies and procedures, to include a thorough investigation, when suspending or revoking a security clearance. The FBI takes very seriously its responsibility to FBI employees who may make protected disclosures under the whistleblower regulations. FBI employees who report evidence of wrongdoing through a protected disclosure are protected from retaliation,” a spokesperson said.

30 Ex-FBI Agents Voice Support For Whistleblower Who Was Suspended For Claiming Bureau Politicized Jan. 6th Investigation
30 former agents, which include a head of counterterrorism, a retired deputy assistant director, and five SWAT agents voiced their support for FBI agent Stephen Friend.
Dozens of former FBI agents have come out in support of an agent who was recently suspended after he spoke out publicly about the bureau’s extreme politicization and targeting of Trump supporters.
30 former agents, which include a head of counterterrorism, a retired deputy assistant director, and five SWAT agents voiced their support for FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend.
The New York Post received a variety of messages from the agents backing Friend.
“It’s time to stop the FBI from being the enforcer of a political party’s ideology. We need to re-establish the FBI as the apolitical and independent law enforcement entity that it always was,” retired agent, Ernie Tibaldi told the Post.
Tibaldi praised Friend “for having the courage to stand up to the corruption that has taken over the leadership of the FBI.”
Other agents described Friend to be a “hero” for speaking out against the Bureau’s mistreatment of January 6th participants.
The former deputy assistant director of Counterterrorism, Terry Turchie, called Friend “a model example of what FBI agents nationwide should be.”
“Moral courage, leadership in the face of pressure, and true to the Oath of Office FBI agents take to defend the United States Constitution and protect America and its citizens. I am beyond proud to offer him my support in the decisions he had to make,” Turchie added.
Turchie mentioned how he led the task force which arrested the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, in 1996.
Despite Kaczynski being a true domestic terrorist who injured 23 people and killed three, Turchie did not even order a SWAT team to arrest Kaczynski.
“No real FBI agent would defend the position of using SWAT teams to arrest non-violent senior citizens and others with political opinions not currently tolerated by this administration, compounded by the idea that many of these cases involve misdemeanor criminal charges. This activity actually generates tension in communities and increases the potential for tragic results and injuries to FBI agents and citizens,” Turchie explained to the Post.
“The current use — or should I say abuse — of bureau SWAT teams has been outrageous,” 25-year SWAT veteran, David Baldovin commented.
“When I see the FBI using extreme SWAT tactics on elderly and other citizens who pose no physical threat, it makes me sick. It has to be purely political,” another 20-year SWAT veteran, Bob Fricke, echoed Baldovin’s comments.
“I believe Special Agent Friend is an American hero. He is a shining example of what I attempt to inculcate in my students, honor above self. Our founding fathers wanted people of high moral character to serve the American people. It is good to know that people such as Special Agent Friend still exist. May God protect him and his family,” Fricke added.
As National File previously reported:
A 12-year veteran of the FBI issued a damning complaint with the Department of Justice inspector general that alleged the bureau is exaggerating the threat of domestic terrorism and is pushing an “overzealous” investigation into the January 6th protest in an attempt to harass Trump supporters.
FBI special agent Steve Friend was suspended on Monday and escorted out of the FBI’s Daytona Beach office after he complained to his superiors about the politicization of the bureau.
Friend boldly refused to take part in FBI-led SWAT raids against Jan. 6th participants last month because he claimed they were excessive usage of force against individuals who were merely charged with misdemeanors.
The bureau was planning to raid a January 6th subject in the Jacksonville, FL area but Friend spoke up. “I have an oath to uphold the Constitution. I have a moral objection and want to be considered a conscientious objector,” the 12-year veteran told his supervisors.

FLASHBACK: Leaked Tape from 2014 Showed State Department’s Victoria Nuland Saying “F*** the EU” then Plotting Ukraine Coup Using Biden’s Help

Victoria Nuland’s Statement Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: Testimony on Ukraine
Thank you Chairman Corker, Ranking Member Cardin, members of this committee for the opportunity to join you today and for the personal investment so many of you have made in Ukraine’s democratic, European future. Your bipartisan support, your visits to Ukraine, the assistance you and your fellow members have provided are truly making a difference.
This week we celebrate 25 years since Germany’s reunification – the first major step on our journey toward a Europe whole, free, and at peace. Today that journey goes through Ukraine. Across Ukraine, citizens are standing up and sacrificing for the universal values that bind us as a transatlantic community: for sovereignty, territorial integrity, human rights, dignity, clean and accountable government, and justice for all. America helps Ukraine because that country’s success is central to our own profound national interest in an ever more democratic, prosperous, stable Europe. Ukraine’s aspirations are ours.
In the six months since I last appeared before this committee, Ukraine can be proud of the progress it has made:
Last spring, the IMF approved an augmented four-year, $17.5 billion economic support program for Ukraine, $6.7 billion of which has already been disbursed;
The government has proposed and the Rada has passed legislation to reform the energy and agriculture sectors, strengthen the banks, shrink and modernize government bureaucracy, devolve more authority to the regions, and create oversight structures to clean up corruption;
Last month, Ukraine reached a land-mark debt-relief deal with its creditors, opening the door for more intensive support;
The September 1st ceasefire in eastern Ukraine is largely holding, the Minsk parties have signed and begun to implement agreements to pull back their heavy weapons, and some IDPs are returning home.
While we welcome this progress, Ukraine still has a long, hard road to travel.
In my remarks today, I will first discuss implementation of the Minsk package of agreements; I will also give an update on the work that Ukraine is doing, with U.S. and international support to reform the country, tackle corruption, and to strengthen democratic institutions; and, finally, I will focus on the tough work ahead to cement Ukraine into Europe and the community of successful democracies.

More reported hacks in Aus
Accountants report spike in hackers lodging false tax returns, superannuation claims
With almost half the adult population of Australia affected by the Optus security breach, questions are swirling about how stolen identity data can be misused.
Sharon Brownie has learned the hard way just how dangerous someone in possession of your personal information and ID documents could be.
She was one of a group of people who came forward to RN Drive this week alleging their online government accounts had been compromised, with false tax returns and applications for early superannuation drawdowns lodged on their behalf.
Dr Brownie had spent four decades working as a nurse, public service executive and academic.
A dual Australian-New Zealand citizen, her tax affairs have been complicated by stints working across the ditch, in the Middle East, Africa and the Pacific, and the transaction of properties here and at home.
For more than 12 years she has relied on Melbourne accountant Ercole Lanzon to lodge her returns.
"I have confidence that a certified accountant is lodging things correctly, whereas I could make mistakes without actually realising, which could have big implications for my work", Dr Brownie said.
Two weeks ago, she called Mr Lanzon and they agreed to meet in October to reconcile last year's return.
Days later, Mr Lanzon received an email from the ATO regarding his client, saying her recent application for a determination for the release of more than $11,000 from her superannuation account under the First Home Super Saver scheme (FHSS) had been approved.

Antarctic expeditioners complain of 'predatory', widespread sexual harassment as minister, division urge change
Australians sent to work in Antarctica have complained about a widespread and predatory culture of sexual harassment with unwelcome requests for sex, taunting, displays of offensive pornography and homophobia.
Key points:
A report into the culture at Australia's Antarctic research stations has detailed abusive and harassing behaviours
The report's author believes it may be unethical to continue to send women to the stations if the behaviour can't be stamped out
Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek says the issues raised in the report need to be addressed
An external review of the culture at Antarctic research stations, commissioned by the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD), revealed some women felt compelled to hide their periods while on field missions because they feared men may judge them as incompetent.
In some cases, improvised products were used when tampons were not available to them, or kept inside their bodies for longer than recommended because there were no appropriate facilities.
Professor Meredith Nash, who wrote the report completed earlier this year, said some women do not believe the Antarctic stations are safe and that it may be unethical to continue sending women to them until their safety can be assured.
"I think on some level, it is unethical for us to continue trying to encourage women to enter a male-dominated field if we are not confident that organisations can keep them safe," Professor Nash told the ABC.
A de-identified summary of Professor Nash's report found "participants observed that women experience a range of harassment including uninvited physical contact or gestures, unwelcome requests for sex, sexual comments, jokes or innuendo, intrusive questions, displays of offensive or pornographic material and sex-based insults or taunts and unwanted invitations".
"Participants also described a homophobic culture on stations," the summary said.

General practice doctors across Australia are raising concerns about a shortage of antibiotics, which is leaving them unable to prescribe the best medications for patients, especially in regional areas.
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) rural health chair Michael Clements said GPs were struggling to prescribe common antibiotic medications, as well as other painkillers, due to low stock levels.
"This is a real, real thing," he told 9news.com. au.
"There's an antibiotic that we use quite routinely, that's now not available, meaning that we have to use the second or third best."

New Book Reveals Democratic Decision to Abandon Due Process and Historical Precedent to Impeach Trump
Below is today’s column in Fox.com on the new disclosures in a new book on the Trump impeachment. The authors allege that House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and his staff raised virtually the same procedural objections that I made in my testimony about the House abandoning both historical precedent and due process guarantees. The book directly contradicts public statements made by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff.
Here is the column:
“They’re going to argue we don’t have due process for Trump. Why make that argument real?” Those words from House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., stand out in the shocking disclosures in the recently released book, “Unchecked: The Untold Story Behind Congress’s Botched Impeachments of Donald Trump,” Politico Playbook co-author Rachael Bade and Washington Post reporter Karoun Demirjian recount how House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff and Speaker Nancy Pelosi overrode objections from Nadler that the lack of witness testimony was a denial of due process for then President Donald Trump. Nadler reportedly put it plainly and correctly: “It’s unfair, and it’s unprecedented, and it’s unconstitutional.”
It was a strikingly familiar objection. I testified at the first Trump impeachment before Nadler and criticized the lack of any factual witnesses or Judiciary Committee hearings supporting the articles of impeachment. The book details a position of the House Judiciary that is strikingly similar to my own testimony.
The book, however, has not brought a sense of vindication as much as frustration. Nadler publicly toed the line with Pelosi to support a process that he reportedly viewed as abusive and “unconstitutional” even as some of us were set upon by a legion of irate pundits. Worse yet, the book indicates that the bar on witnesses was not compelled by the schedule, as claimed by Pelosi and Schiff, but raw politics. It was, I wrote, a decision to follow the rule of Franz Kafka’s character that “my guiding principle is this: Guilt is never to be doubted.”
On the second impeachment, they went one better. They jettisoned any witnesses (including legal experts) in what I called a “snap impeachment.”
During the impeachments, I suggested that the reason was not any limitation of time but tactical advantage. In both rushed impeachments, Pelosi then held back the articles of impeachment before sending them to the Senate – destroying even the pretense of exigency as the reason for abandoning due process.
The book appears to confirm the Kafkaesque logic. It states that neither Pelosi nor Schiff wanted to risk a witness or member going off script by allowing true due process. When Nadler raised historical and constitutional objections, Schiff reportedly barked back that he needed to change “his tone” and complained “you’re putting us in a box.” That box is an effort to guarantee fairness and Nadler reportedly and correctly observed that “if we’re going to impeach, we need to show the country that we gave the president ample opportunity to defend himself.”
In my testimony in the only hearing held by the Judiciary Committee (over the two impeachments), I objected that “this is wrong. It is not wrong because President Trump is right…No, it is wrong because this is not how an American president should be impeached.”
I relied primarily on the Nixon and Clinton cases to show how far the House was far outside any historical navigational beacons. It turns out Nadler and his staff reached the same conclusion and cautioned Schiff and Pelosi to “stick close to the Nixon and Clinton cases.” They refused.
Dan Goldman, Schiff’s lead counsel and the Democratic nominee to represent New York’s 10th District in the House, scoffed and mocked Nadler: “Jerry Nadler? With him, everything is negotiable.” When Nadler’s team argued for an approach (as I did) “more like Nixon,” Schiff’s team reportedly dismissed due process and said, “F— Donald Trump.”
