A White Cop Fatally Shot a 1 Yr Old Black Baby in a Walmart Parking Lot in Mississippi; Massa Media Attempts to Normalize the Murder, Seeks Public Quiescence to Unprovoked, Barbaric Use of Force

Kohen Kartier Wiley was a 1-year-old child from Senatobia, Mississippi, who was fatally shot by police on June 14, 2026, in the parking lot of a Walmart. The incident occurred while officers were responding to a shoplifting call; state investigators stated that the driver of the vehicle, carrying Kohen and his mother Vellesiya Wiley, drove toward officers, prompting an officer to fire into the car.

Kohen was pronounced dead at a local hospital, and a family friend riding in the vehicle was critically injured. While law enforcement claims the driver nearly struck an officer, Kohen’s mother stated she was attempting to show officers the baby in her arms and that the car was not driving aggressively. The involved officer has been placed on administrative leave, and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is conducting an independent probe.

Ben Crump is representing the family.

From [HERE] “One-Year-Old Boy Killed After Officer Fires at Vehicle in Mississippi,” said the New York Times headline (6/16/26). So, a “one-year-old boy”—what most people would call a baby—was “killed after” a police officer fired at a vehicle, but there’s no verb you could use to connect those two things?

The Times subhed continued that pacifying work:

It is not entirely clear what led up to the shooting, but the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said that police officers were responding to a shoplifting call.

“Ohh, shoplifting…!” we’re evidently supposed to say, before turning the page; that might make the baby murder make sense. I don’t need to say that baby was Black.

There will be more coverage of this heartbreaking, infuriating news about cops in Senatobia, Mississippi, called to the five-alarm crisis of someone purportedly shoplifting diapers, opening fire into a car whose driver “allegedly drove toward them.”

But in the meantime, please think hard about reporting that tells you to calm down, that suggests that, just maybe, nothing wrong happened at all. As ABC News (6/18/26) put it in a piece on how the “officer involved in shooting outside Walmart that killed 1-year-old boy” has been placed on leave: “One-year-old Kohen Wiley was killed, according to the family’s attorney.”

So maybe he’s not dead? Or he died from something other than the gun of the “involved officer”? Caution in reporting is valuable, but when it’s mainly deployed to protect the inflicters of state violence (FAIR.org, 7/11/16), you have to ask if it’s really a principle at all.

White Prosecutor and White Judge Remove All Black Jurors to Find Karmelo Anthony Guilty in Murdering White Teen; Media Pretends the Appearance of Justice Not Essential for Its Reality;Appeal Filed

S0-CALLED RIGHT TO SIT ON A JURY IS ALSO an illusion IN RACIST SYSTEM BASED ON FORCE. There are only a few ways that Americans can meaningfully exercise their citizenship; enlisting in the military, running for national office, voting and serving on a jury. Jury service is a basic right of citizenship . With the exception of voting, "for most citizens the honor and privilege of jury duty is their most significant opportunity to participate in the democratic process."   Whether "jury service be deemed a right, a privilege, or a duty, the State may no more extend it to some of its citizens and deny it to others on racial grounds than it may invidiously discriminate in the offering and withholding of the elective franchise."  The "exclusion of jurors is like the exclusion of voters: the exclusion of voters by reason of race does violence to constitutional ideals, whether or not the exclusion affects the outcome of any particular election." 

Despite clear commands from the Supreme Court, since 1880  the right of African Americans to serve as jurors has been elusive. The equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment prohibits African Americans from being excluded from a jury because of their race   or "on the false assumption that members of [the] race as a group are not qualified to serve as jurors."   The Court has held that the 14th Amendment prohibits a State from resorting to discrimination at all stages of the jury selection process  . Even though the principles of the 14th Amendment equal protection clause guaranteeing the right of African Americans to be free from jury discrimination "have been consistently and repeatedly reaffirmed in numerous decisions"  , these Constitutional guidelines are regularly violated through the use of peremptory challenges. [MORE]

VERDICT LOOKS RACIST AND PROBABLY IS From [HERE] Karmelo Anthony filed a notice to appeal his first-degree murder conviction, court records show.

Anthony, 19, filed the notice Wednesday, just a day after being sentenced to 35 years in prison for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death at a 2025 Texas high school track meet.

The notice is not an official appeal, but is an official declaration that Anthony plans to file an appeal.

Anthony’s family and his supporters have repeatedly claimed he was the victim of racism in the prosecution, which legal experts predicted would most likely take center stage in the appeal.

“They’re going to throw the kitchen sink at this,” Texas criminal defense attorney Jeremy Rosenthal told The Post, explaining “racial allegations of jury strikes” are “the most obvious thing that jumps off the page.”

Those racial allegations arose during the jury selection, when prosecutors objected to three black candidates and Anthony’s attorney claimed the objections were racially motivated.

Prosecutors were then required to explain why their motivations were not racial and said because the individuals were teachers they may have biased sympathies towards either the defendant and victim, who were both high school juniors.

Maybe the Black Guy had 3 Hands? Jury Too Stupid or Too White to Find White Cop Guilty of Murdering Casey Goodson, Shot 5X in the Back While Holding Sandwiches and Opening Door; Opt for Lesser Charge

From [HERE] A white sheriff's deputy was found guilty of reckless homicide at trial Thursday for shooting a Black man who was bringing sandwiches to his grandmother's house.

The killing of Casey Goodson Jr. by Jason Meade in December 2020 had provoked outrage in Ohio.

Trial jurors said they couldn't agree on the more serious charge of murder, prompting the judge to declare a mistrial on that count.

Meade, who is White, said his shooting of Goodson — five times in the back and once in the side — was justified because he saw the 23-year-old holding a gun and turning toward him in the doorway of the house in Columbus. But no one else testified they saw Goodson holding the gun he was licensed to carry, and no cameras recorded the shooting.

This was Meade's second murder trial after the first one ended in a mistrial two years ago. He is now the second White law enforcement officer to be convicted in the killing of a Black man in the state since the 2020 killing of George Floyd in Minnesota sparked national protests.

Tamala Payne, Goodson's mother, said the guilty verdict gives her family closure and peace. She previously told CBS News that she believed her son had been "murdered in cold blood.

Meade had testified in the first trial that he pursued Goodson after the man waved a gun at him as they passed each other in their vehicles. According to his family and prosecutors, Goodson was holding a bag of Subway sandwiches in one hand and his keys in the other, and was listening to music through earbuds when he was killed.

Meade did not take the stand at his second trial.

Prosecutors also said the evidence suggests the gun wasn't in his hands, but in a flimsy holder under his belt. They added it was found under his body, its safety mechanism still engaged, as Goodson laid mortally wounded on the kitchen floor of his grandmother's house.

Meade, now 47, retired from the Franklin County Sheriff's Department in 2021. He's also a Baptist pastor. His attorney cited Meade's oral and written accounts of what happened, and said the shooting was justified.

Ohio law defines murder as the purposeful causing of a death, while the lesser charge of reckless murder means the defendant acted recklessly in causing a death. The former is punishable by up to life in prison, while the latter carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.

he complaint states in relevant part,

“a group of officers tasked to the U.S. Marshals were in the neighborhood to arrest someone that was not Casey and was in no way affiliated with Casey. Jason Meade was working with the task force as a member of their Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST) and as a member of their District Fugitive Task Force (DTF). The U.S. Marshals were heavily armed, and Jason Meade was not in uniform and was carrying a rifle.

The SOFAST and DTF did not find their target, however the target’s sister did encounter Meade when he and his colleagues raided her home. As she stated in a Facebook post, “#JasonMeade was already on bullshit before he left my house. Knowing I wasn’t dressed busted in my room knowing I was naked and we had a brief argument as he felt I had ‘plenty of time’ to get dressed. They were aware my brother was AT WORK. Truth be told, they shouldn’t have been on this street PERIOD. It was as simple as communicating with the parties involved.” The sister also later described Meade as a ticking time bomb who was extremely angry and aggressive when inside of her home.

The mission of SOFAST and DTF ended without apprehending their target, and the members of the team began to disperse.

Around this time, Casey had finished his appointment at the dentist. After leaving, Casey went to Subway to buy sandwiches for his family.

As Casey was returning home from Subway, upon information and belief, Jason Meade saw Casey and followed Casey back to his home.

Upon information and belief, Casey arrived home, parked, and exited his vehicle. He grabbed the bag of subway sandwiches, and began walking toward the side of the house to enter through the side door.

Casey was not committing any crime, was not suspected of committing any crime and did not present any threat to Meade or anyone else. He was simply attempting to enter his own home.

Jason Meade—armed with a rifle— targeted and hunted Casey, following him as Casey proceeded towards his house.

Casey proceeded to enter the side door of the house. The side door of the house is comprised of an exterior door with a metal-screen, and a wooden interior door with a lock. Casey opened the exterior door and used his keys to unlock the wooden door. As Casey unlocked the wooden door, Jason Meade opened fire. Casey was entering through the door when Jason Meade shot him to death.

Meade fired six bullets into Casey’s body with his rifle. Two bullets pierced Casey’s back, ripping through his body, bullet’s trajectory exiting through his chest, next to his heart.

Another bullet pierced Casey’s back, about six inches from where the first and second bullet pierced his body, exiting directly left to his chest.

Meade fired another bullet into Casey’s left-lower-back. Unlike Jason Meade’s first, second, and third bullet, the fourth bullet did not rip through Casey’s body. Instead, it blew a chunk of flesh off of Casey’s body.

Meade fired another bullet into Casey’s lower-right-back, ripped through Casey’s body up to Casey’s chest.

A sixth bullet entered Casey’s right buttock and remained lodged directly above his hip bone. At least three of the bullets flew through the metal screen, shattering the glass contained within the door.

Wound mapping provided Bauer Forensics demonstrates that Meade shot Casey all six times while Casey was facing away from him, entering his home.

Nine members of Casey’s family were in the house at that time but did not know that Meade was nearby. They did not hear any alleged orders or commands from Meade.

When Casey’s family heard gunshots and the glass in the metal screen door shattering, they ran toward the door to see what was happening. There, Casey’s family members observed Casey lying on the kitchen floor, bleeding to death.

While still in the house, an officer pointed his rifle at Tamala’s brother, who was holding his three-year old daughter and commanded them to “get out of the house before [he] shoots them too.”

Casey’s grandmother suffered a stroke that night, which caused her to fall and injure her head in her own home—the same place where Jason Meade shot her grandson in the back six times.

This shooting was unjustified, objectively unreasonable, and constituted excessive force, in violation of Casey’s constitutional rights. [MORE]

DOJ Lawsuit says D.C.’s Gun Laws Deprive [mostly Law Abiding Black] Residents of their Right to Defend Themselves Against Criminals as Cops Fail to Protect Them from Crime in Unsafe Liberal City

In Recent Case Concerning the Right to Carry Guns Clarence Thomas Discussed the Historical Need for Blacks to Vigorously Defend Themselves in Case of Public Confrontation in a Violent, Racist Society

The Trump Justice Department just sharpened its attack on Washington, D.C.’s gun-control regime, and this time the target is bigger than a single bad law.

In a First Amended Complaint filed May 14, 2026, the United States argues that the District of Columbia, its Metropolitan Police Department, and Acting Police Chief Jeffrey Carroll are violating the Second Amendment by enforcing local laws that ban AR-15-style rifles and suppressors. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, asks a federal judge to declare those bans unconstitutional and block D.C. from enforcing them.

This is not another private citizen begging the courts to recognize what the Constitution already says. This is the United States government suing the District of Columbia and saying, in plain terms, that D.C.’s gun laws deprive Americans of their civil rights.

That is a major shift.

For decades, anti-gun politicians have treated the Second Amendment like a second-class right. They have banned commonly owned rifles, criminalized ordinary gun parts and accessories, buried lawful owners in registration schemes, and then acted shocked when Americans objected. D.C. has long been one of the worst offenders. This amended complaint puts that record directly in the federal government’s crosshairs.

The filing opens with the point gun owners have been making since Heller: the Second Amendment protects a pre-existing right, not a privilege handed out by politicians. DOJ cites Heller, McDonald, and Bruen to argue that law-abiding Americans have the right to possess and use arms that are in common use for lawful purposes. [MORE]

White LA County DA Drops Charges Against Torrance Cops who Murdered Christopher DeAndre Mitchell (more evidence that Blacks are prohibited from possessing guns no matter what the Supreme Ct says)

From [HERE] Matthew Concannon and Anthony Chavez were charged with manslaughter for the 2018 killing of Christopher Deandre Mitchell during an attempted arrest for car theft.

• The Torrance cops were originally cleared of wrongdoing, but ex-Dist. Atty. George Gascón reopened the investigation in 2020 after running a campaign focused on police accountability.

• Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman announced late last year he did not believe the case could be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

Manslaughter charges were officially dismissed Thursday against two Torrance police officers charged in the 2018 shooting death of Christopher Deandre Mitchell, a car theft suspect who was holding an air rifle at the time he was killed.

Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman announced his intention to drop the case, which was filed by his predecessor late last year. But Superior Court Judge Sam Ohta delayed a decision on the motion to dismiss due to a number of technical issues over the past six months, before finally ending the case against Matthew Concannon and Anthony Chavez on Thursday morning. 

Concannon and Chavez were indicted in 2023 for killing Mitchell, 23, in 2018. Mitchell was sitting in his car in a supermarket lot with an air rifle between his knees at the time he was killed. While Mitchell never pointed the weapon at either officer, Concannon told authorities he saw Mitchell reaching for what he believed was a real gun when he opened fire, according to court records.

The case spanned three district attorney’s office administrations. Then-Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey initially cleared the officers of wrongdoing, but Dist. Atty. George Gascón reopened the case and assigned a special prosecutor to review her decision. A grand jury indicted both men in 2023. 

Both officers were investigated amid a racist text-messaging scandal within the Torrance Police Department in 2021, where more than a dozen officers were found to have shared a litany of texts replete with antisemitic and homophobic slurs, promises of violence against Black suspects and jokes about use of excessive force. Concannon was ultimately found not to have sent any racist texts. Chavez did send several messages, according to the district attorney’s office’s motion to dismiss the charges.

Mitchell was Black, and activists have suggested the texts prove racial animus played a role in the case. In one string of messages, officers used the N-word to describe Mitchell’s relatives and joked about what would happen after Concannon and Chavez’s names were made public. 

“Gun cleaning party at my house when they release my name??” Chavez asked, according to the dismissal motion.

“Yes absolutely let’s all just post in your yard with lawn chairs in a [firing] squad,” another replied, according to a district attorney’s office report on the text messages made public during a separate court proceeding in 2022.

The dismissal played out before a half-full courtroom, with Mitchell’s mother flanked by organizers from Black Lives Matter L.A. and other police accountability activists. In the back row sat several supporters of Concannon and Chavez, including a Torrance police officer in full uniform. 

“Please stop protecting them when they’re doing wrong. Because when you do that, it breaks the trust of the people,” Mitchell’s mother, Sherilyn Haines, pleaded to Ohta before he ruled. “They’re going to keep on killing our kids with the same ‘We feared for our life’ speech.”

When Ohta finished reading his 34-page ruling, several protesters chanted Mitchell’s name and yelled at Concannon, calling him a “murderer.” Chavez did not attend the hearing. 

Mitchell’s family was awarded $7.8 million to settle a wrongful death suit in 2022, shortly after a judge granted their discovery request for records tied to the “text message scandal” dating back to 2016. 

The family’s civil attorney, Peter Carr, questioned the rationale behind Hochman’s move to dismiss, arguing prosecutors had been “shifting justification for a pre-determined conclusion” across multiple filings. He noted their initial motion to dismiss argued Ohta had disallowed critical evidence in the case. Ohta later said the district attorney’s description was inaccurate.

In granting the motion, however, Ohta said he found no objective evidence that the district attorney’s office was dismissing the case in bad faith.

“I am profoundly pleased that this nightmare is finally over for my client,” said Chavez’s attorney, Tom Yu. “Police officers all over this country must make split-second decisions every day and unfortunately, some decisions include the use of deadly force.” 

Yu said he believed the shooting was “completely justified.”

Concannon remains on administrative leave with the Torrance Police Department, according to an agency spokesman. Chavez is no longer a Torrance police officer. 

The officers’ attorneys have long argued Gascón overstepped his bounds in reopening the case and that the independent prosecutor he hired, Lawrence Middleton, had made several missteps in filing charges. 

A report generated last year by a special prosecutor Hochman hired to review cases Gascón reopened found that Middleton failed to present relevant exculpatory evidence to grand jurors and improperly instructed the panel on the elements of the crime of voluntary manslaughter.

Middleton, who was fired by Hochman shortly after his 2024 election, was present in court but declined to comment.

Hochman has faced criticism for his handling of police use-of-force cases, with some questioning his decisions to offer lenient plea deals and dismiss charges against several officers. Last month, however, Hochman charged a California Highway Patrol Officer with murder after he caused an on-duty crash that contributed to multiple deaths.

Car Crash Had Nothing to do w/Ronald Greene’s Injuries. Family Gets Money but No Justice after White LA Cops Brutally Beat Shackled Black Man to Death w/Fists, Boots, Flashlights, Dragged Him Facedown

RONALD GREENE WAS A BLACK MAN WHO WAS TORTURED AND MURDERED BY WHITE TROOPERS IN LA. ON MAY 10, 2019, GREENE, WHO WAS UNARMED, DIED AFTER BEING ARRESTED BY LOUISIANA STATE POLICE FOLLOWING A HIGH-SPEED CHASE OUTSIDE MONROE, LOUISIANA. DURING THE ARREST, HE WAS STUNNED, PUNCHED, AND PLACED IN A CHOKEHOLD. HE WAS ALSO DRAGGED FACE DOWN WHILE HANDCUFFED AND SHACKLED, AND HE WAS LEFT FACE DOWN FOR AT LEAST NINE MINUTES. AT LEAST SIX WHITE TROOPERS WERE INVOLVED IN THE ARREST.

WHEN GREENE'S CORPSE WAS BROUGHT TO THE HOSPITAL, POLICE TOLD DOCTORS THAT HIS CAR HAD RUN INTO A TREE, A STORY A DOCTOR SAID "DOES NOT ADD UP", GIVEN THE NATURE OF GREENE'S INJURIES AND THE FACT THAT THERE WERE TWO STUN-GUN PROBES LODGED IN HIS BODY; POLICE LATER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT GREENE HAD DIED DURING A STRUGGLE, THOUGH WITHOUT MENTIONING ANY USE OF FORCE BY OFFICERS.

After White Cops Tortured/Brutally Murdered Ronald Green Uncivilized LA Authorities Hid Video/Reports, Begged DA Not to Charge, Lied About Cause of Death and Prevented Proper Autopsy. Feds Investigate

From [HERE] Officials in Louisiana have agreed to a tentative $4.8 million settlement with the family of Ronald Greene, a Black motorist who died following a violent 2019 roadside arrest involving five white police officers, AP reported citing people familiar with the agreement.

The proposed settlement would resolve a federal wrongful death lawsuit filed by Greene’s family after his murder by unaccountable white police officers.

In 2021 after the Associated Press obtained and released body-camera and surveillance footage showing officers from the Louisiana State Police repeatedly punching, kicking and using stun guns on Greene during the arrest near the city of Monroe.

The footage contradicted the official account of the incident.

The settlement agreement still requires approval from the Louisiana Legislature before becoming final.

Federal prosecutors declined charges

Despite the graphic footage and public criticism, federal prosecutors last year declined to file criminal charges against the troopers involved in Greene’s arrest and death. The case was also a low priority to Joe Biden’s DOJ who took no action during his 4 year term.

For nearly two years after Greene’s death, authorities maintained that the 49-year-old died after crashing his vehicle into a tree following a high-speed police chase.

State police initially refused to release arrest footage, fuelling accusations of a cover-up.

However, video later obtained by the the news outlet showed Greene apologising to officers after the chase before being subjected to repeated force.

The footage showed officers using stun guns on the unarmed Greene, wrestling him to the ground and placing him in a chokehold.

Troopers were also seen punching Greene and dragging him face down while his hands were cuffed and his legs shackled.

According to reports, Greene was later left lying on the ground without immediate medical aid.

Traffic stop began over unspecified violation

Authorities never provided a basis for the traffic stop - which means the stop was unconstitutional because it violated the Black man’s so-called 4th Amendment rights to be free of unreasonable stops, searches, detentions and alleged “freedom.” The media, which is white owned and controlled enterprise that defends the system of authority, chose to characterize said 4th Amendment violation “as an unspecified traffic violation" before the encounter escalated into a pursuit and violent arrest.”[MORE]

Is Wes Moore Lying About “Leading Soldiers Into Combat?” No Records Found Showing Grimacing “Black” Governor experienced Combat; 86 days since He Promised Military Records

From [HERE] and [HERE]. In a May 8, 2022, post on X, Wes Moore wrote, “When I was an Army captain and led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan, we lived by a simple principle: Leave no one behind.”

After a yearlong investigation, Spotlight on Maryland found no documentary evidence that Moore led soldiers into combat, but it is representative of how Moore, now governor of Maryland, often speaks about his time in Afghanistan, using language that could lead one to reasonably believe he was a leader of front-line paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division and that he experienced direct-fire combat.

It’s a claim Spotlight on Maryland has asked Moore and his superior officer, then Lt. Col. Mike Fenzel, to provide evidence of, but a request they have denied.

Moore’s public narrative about experiencing direct-fire combat predates the 2022 post.

In 2014, a year before releasing his second book, Moore told the USO’s magazine, “On Patrol,” that part of his primary mission in Afghanistan “…was to engage and draw offensive engagements [from the enemy],” something that in military terminology is called a “movement to contact,” which is an operation to establish or regain contact with the enemy typically conducted by combat units such as the infantry, a branch of the Army Moore did not serve in.

The introduction to his 2015 book, “The Work: My Search for a Life That Matters,” also leads readers to believe that Moore was an experienced combat leader. In vivid language, he recounts a firefight he experienced during his 2005-’06 deployment to Afghanistan, saying, “We knew there was a very good chance we’d be shot at when we got to Afghanistan … when I heard those first bullets, for a moment I felt my body flood with fear and tried not to let the fear control me.”

In remarkably descriptive language, Moore writes of “…the sound of shells buzzing past your ears, a flurry of divots [from enemy bullets] leaping out of the earth around your feet.” He talks of leading his paratroopers and responding with “overwhelming force,” then walking away alive and grateful after the engagement with a new resolve to question why his own life matters.

The dramatic account of this firefight was repeated by several news outlets in 2015, while Moore was on tour promoting his book, helping to create a perception in the eyes of many that Moore is a combat hero.

In March 2021, Moore also told soon-to-be Orioles owner David Rubenstein, on his peer-to-peer conversations podcast, that he had seen combat.

Rubenstein asked Moore, specifically, if he had asked for an office job to avoid being shot at in Afghanistan, which Moore refuted, saying, “No, not at all. I was very clear. I went over and led a group of paratroopers as a special operations officer over there working in information operations. And we were very much in the field.”

Moore further said, “I literally within the first days of Afghanistan, I started seeing first-hand, literally when you see your first firefight, you start seeing just what kind of fighting is going on in Afghanistan,” indicating to Rubenstein that within days of his arrival in Afghanistan in August 2005, he had participated in a direct-fire combat engagement.

Military records reviewed by Spotlight show no evidence that Moore, a lieutenant assigned as a brigade headquarters staff officer, experienced firefights in Afghanistan as his public narrative conveys.

He was not awarded a decoration for the firefight he describes, nor was he awarded the Army’s Combat Action Badge. The Combat Action Badge would come later in December for a relatively minor indirect fire incident with no casualties that occurred at the base where Moore’s brigade headquarters was located.

“A brigade-level staff officer’s chances of getting into a firefight are slim and none,” said a retired infantry and special forces officer consulted by Spotlight, who requested anonymity out of concern of being doxxed or attacked online. ”Most staff officers stay tied to the tactical operations center, and if they do have to leave the forward operating base, they usually travel with a security element that would lead any tactical response to an attack.” [MORE]

AIPAC is Funding Dr. Ala Stanford's Congressional Campaign in Philadelphia- if she is elected will she Serve Barbaric IsrAeliens or Black People?

AIPAC has been funneling money into the campaign of Dr. Ala Stanford in Pennsylvania’s 3rd congressional district, before the next slate of Democratic primaries, new federal campaign filings reveal.

Stanford has denied taking AIPAC money in the race for an open Philadelphia seat, but the records show the pro-Israel group has been secretly routing money directly to her campaign and into a super PAC supporting her that backs candidates who are involved in science or medicine. The structure allows Stanford, a pediatrician, to distance herself from the group’s increasingly toxic political reputation with the American public, while still benefiting from its cash outlays.

The super PAC is called 314 Action Fund, and as of April 21, had spent more than $2.6 million boosting Stanford, according to the latest filings. The group’s most recent monthly filing reveals a $500,000 donation from Kimbark Foundation, a group whose only other donation is $500,000 to EDW Action Fund, another PAC that has previously acted as an AIPAC shell organization. In the 2024 cycle, AIPAC used EDW Action to secretly funnel money to support Maxine Dexter, also a pediatrician, in her race against Susheela Jayapal in Oregon. It’s stated purpose is to elect pro-choice Democratic women. 314 Action has reported just $2.8 million in independent expenditures, meaning their support for Stanford represents the bulk of their independent spending so far.

Coin-Operated Black Ho-Rep Cherfilus-McCormick Resigns after Ethics Committee Found Evidence She Misused Federal Disaster Money while Doing Nothing to Solve Problems Plaguing Black Communities

 The House Ethics Committee has determined Florida Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick violated House rules after examining accusations she funneled federal disaster relief funding into her congressional campaign, the panel’s chairman said Friday.

The decision, handed down in a press release from the bipartisan ethics committee, comes just hours after the panel convened an exceedingly rare public hearing to discuss the Florida Democrat’s conduct.

Little was divulged about how the ethics panel arrived at its conclusion. Committee chairman and Mississippi Representative Michael Guest said in a statement lawmakers deliberating on whether there was “clear and convincing evidence” to back up the fraud accusations against Cherfilus-McCormick determined that the counts had been “proven.” Discussion about the congresswoman’s conduct lasted “well past midnight,” Guest said.

The Ethics Committee chairman added the panel will hold a hearing after the House returns from its April recess to discuss possible sanctions against the Florida Democrat. [MORE]

War Veteran says Unprovoked, Immoral War Against Iran Driven by Corporate Profit, not Nuclear Concerns

From [HERE] The US-Israeli war against Iran was never about nuclear weapons, but about corporate profit and control over the country’s oil, according to a prominent American anti-war activist.

In an interview with the Press TV website, Mike Ferner, a long-time anti-war activist and former national director of Veterans for Peace, pulled no punches in his criticism of Washington's motives and the influence of Zionist lobbies and US corporations.

Asked whether the US-Israeli war against Iran was necessary, particularly given that it unfolded in the midst of Oman-mediated nuclear talks in Geneva and despite Iran's repeated assertions that it is not seeking a nuclear weapon, Ferner offered a blunt answer.

"The war was necessary if you understand that the US is an empire and US corporations govern it, influenced by Zionists," Ferner told the Press TV website.

He identified financial interests as the primary drivers of the war, not security concerns.

"Weapons-making corporations saw it as an opportunity to make billions," he stated. "Oil companies saw it as a way to reassert control over Iran's oil. These corporations basically control our foreign policy."

Ferner also pointed to the collapse of diplomatic alternatives, noting that a functional nuclear agreement had already existed, one that the Trump administration had previously withdrawn from, referring to the 2015 nuclear deal.

"There was a functioning agreement that Trump will not be able to replace," he said. "In the meantime, Iranians are suffering and dying, while in this country millions of people still go without health care."

Many analysts, including Iranian officials and even some US figures such as former top counterterrorism official Joe Kent, assert that President Donald Trump was drawn into the war by Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu, who had previously failed to persuade US presidents to directly engage Iran on Israel's behalf.

"It would not surprise me if that were true," the anti-war activist said.

On Washington's stated rationale for the unprovoked war against Iran, Ferner pointed to both Iran's consistent position on its nuclear program and recent US military actions.

Iran has long maintained that it does not seek a nuclear weapon, a position backed by a formal religious decree (fatwa) from the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. [MORE]

Just 16% of Americans Rate "the economy" as excellent or good, and nearly half describing it as poor, according to Gallup

Absolutely incredible,” commented Kobeissi Letter. “Over the last six years, the S&P 500 has risen +130% while US Consumer Sentiment has collapsed by -55%, to its lowest since data began in 1952. We are witnessing the formation of the biggest wealth divide in modern history.”

Kobeissi Letter produced the graphic one day after the University of Michigan’s latest survey found consumer sentiment hitting the lowest level on record.

Joanne Hsu, director of the survey, observed that “the cost of living continues to be a first-order concern, with 57% of consumers spontaneously mentioning that high prices were eroding their personal finances, up from 50% last month.”

On the same day, Gallup published new data showing that Americans’ economic confidence has fallen to its lowest level since October 2022, with just 16% of Americans rating the economy as excellent or good, and nearly half describing it as poor. [MORE]

US Gov Nuclear Propaganda Parroted by Massa Media is Designed to Justify Endless Aggression Against Iran

From [HERE] For nearly two decades, the central pillar of American foreign policy toward the Islamic Republic of Iran has rested on a single, carefully manufactured fiction: Iran is racing to build a nuclear bomb capable of endangering regional and global peace.

This claim was never backed by any credible intelligence and no report from the UN nuclear watchdog ever substantiated it. It was, from the beginning, a concocted narrative – a powerful, world-spanning piece of propaganda designed to justify every act of economic terrorism and outright military aggression.

From the shadowy assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists to the sabotage of nuclear facilities, from the maximum pressure campaign of the Trump era to the unprovoked military aggressions, the "Iranian bomb" was the ghost that Washington needed to keep alive.

But like all ghosts, it was never real.

Today, after decades of psychological warfare, billions of dollars wasted on espionage, and a brutal, multi-front war against Iran and the Axis of Resistance, the truth has become unavoidable. America’s nuclear propaganda against Iran has failed – spectacularly, irreversibly, and in full view of the world.

It has failed because the world has finally seen through the mirage. The recent escalation in American rhetoric – the frantic, almost panicked refocusing on Iran’s "nuclear intentions" – is a death rattle of a discredited lie being recycled in vain.

The US is now caught in a trap of its own making. Having bet everything on the premise that Iran is a “rogue nuclear state,” Washington must now explain why, despite all the pressure, all the assassinations, all the sabotage, and all the unprovoked wars, there is still no bomb, no weaponization, and no movement toward one.

The more America screams about a threat that does not exist, the more it reveals its own impotence and the true, sinister motives hiding beneath the surface of its "world savior" costume.

The anatomy of a manufactured crisis

To understand why the US propaganda machine has intensified, even as its military campaigns fail, one must understand the functional utility of the nuclear lie. There are some core reasons for this renewed focus, each of which exposes a deeper strategic wound.

First, the US requires a "universally appealing" justification for its crimes. America cannot sell another war of aggression to the global public simply by saying, "We want to overthrow Iran because it refuses to be our colony." Instead, it must drape itself in the mantle of the "savior of the world." [MORE]

[more on the Great Brain Robbery] 'The World’s Most Urgent Problem is that American Psheeple Perceive the US Government's Murders of Non-White People and Theft of Their Lands and Resources as Normal'

…. But when our own governments are involved in the murder of people with darker skin, speaking different languages, practicing different religions and living in different cultures, we’re able to compartmentalize away from the urgency of the situation.

This says terrible things about us as a civilization. We’re no different than the wife of a serial killer who ignores the bodies being buried in the backyard because she’s more worried about what his online gambling addiction is costing the family.

We’re disconnecting ourselves from something precious and important within us in order to psychologically dissociate from the crimes of the empire in the way that we do.

This hurts our fellow human beings, but it hurts us too. We’re doing something ugly to our insides when we twist ourselves into knots to avoid facing the cold hard reality of western military slaughter.

It warps us as people. It profoundly impacts the way we experience life. It scratches the lenses of our perceptual filters. How could it not?

All these wars and genocidal atrocities are an invitation to reclaim a sacred part of ourselves by treating them with the urgency they deserve. There’s no way to live an authentic life and move into a truth-based relationship with reality without doing so. [MORE]

US Intelligence Contradicts TrumpStein: Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, is not currently building one, and does not seek to build one

From [HERE] On May 5, 2026, President Trump told a group of young children in the Oval Office that “we have to make a journey down to Iran to take the nuclear weapon. They would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks.”

Trump also told the children, “Iran with a nuclear weapon…maybe we wouldn’t all be here right now… I can tell you, the Middle East would have been gone. Israel would have been gone. And they would have trained their sights on Europe, first, and then us.”

According to the White House website, Trump warned Iran against having nuclear weapons on 74 occasions prior to the war.  Since the war began on February 28, 2026, Trump has discussed Iranian nuclear issues in at least 20 documented public appearances, based on the Senate Democrats’ Trump transcript archive and Roll Call’s Factbase transcript database.

Some of Trump’s more pointed claims:

About six weeks into the current war, on April 16, 2026, Trump said Iran “would have had a nuclear weapon within one month” if the U.S. had not used B-2 bombers to strike Iranian civilian nuclear energy facilities during the June 2025 war on Iran.

About one month after the war began, Trump said on March 27, 2026, “the Iranian lunatics refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons” after the June 2025 war.

And on February 24, 2026, just four days before starting the current war in Iran, Trump said that Iran was “warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program, and in particular nuclear weapons, yet they continue. They’re starting it all over…”.

Trump’s statements go beyond saying ‘Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.’ He has repeatedly claimed that Iran was weeks away from having one, that U.S. strikes stopped Iran from obtaining one, and that Iran was trying to rebuild or continue a nuclear weapons program.

But Trump’s claims are not supported by the record. In fact, official statements from U.S. intelligence, the State Department, the IAEA, and others state that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, is not currently building one, and does not seek to build one.

US Intelligence, Government Agencies & Figures

The CIA claimed that Iran had a nuclear weapons program before 2003, but for more than two decades, they have assessed that Iran halted that program in 2003 and is not seeking a nuclear weapon.

The broader U.S. Intelligence Community has reached the same conclusions in official assessments:

• Joe Kent, who resigned as Trump’s Director of the National Counterterrorism Center citing his opposition to the war in Iran, wrote on May 8, 2026: “One of the many tragedies of this war is that before the war began, the U.S. Intel Community, including CIA, was in agreement that Iran wasn’t developing a nuclear weapon & that Iran would target U.S. bases in the region & shut down the Strait of Hormuz if they were attacked by Israel & the U.S.”

• About three weeks after the war started, on March 18, 2026, U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard stated, “As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer [in June 2025], Iran’s nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There [have] been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability.”

• On the same day, the 2026 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community was released. The report, reflecting the conclusions of the 18 U.S. intelligence agencies, did not state that Iran has a nuclear weapon or an active nuclear weapons program. Instead, it said Iran was seeking to recover damaged nuclear infrastructure, had denied inspectors access to key facilities, and remained under U.S. Intelligence Community monitoring for WMD-related capabilities and actions.

• Also on March 18, 2026, one day after Joe Kent resigned as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, he was asked whether Iran was on the verge of creating a nuclear bomb. Kent replied: “No. They weren’t three weeks ago when this started, and they weren’t in June either.” Kent also said Iran had a fatwa, or legal decree, barring nuclear weapons and that “we had no intelligence to indicate that fatwa was being disobeyed.”

• About five weeks before the war started, the Department of Defense released the 2026 National Defense Strategy on January 23, 2026, stating that “Operation MIDNIGHT HAMMER [in June 2025] … obliterated Iran’s nuclear program.”

• Four days after the 2025 war on Iran began, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on June 17, 2025: “Director Gabbard stated publicly in March [2025] that the Iranians were not actively pursuing a bomb… I’ve seen nothing in recent intelligence that contradicts what Director Gabbard said.”

• Two months before the 2025 war on Iran began, the U.S. State Department released its Arms Control Compliance Report in April 2025. The report said, “The United States continues to assess that Iran is not currently manufacturing a nuclear weapon, although it has undertaken activities that better position it to produce one, if it so chooses.”

• More than two months before the 2025 war began, Gabbard testified on March 26, 2025: “The [Intelligence Community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khomeini [Khamenei] has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003.”

• Also in March 2025, the Director of National Intelligence’s Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community stated that “Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and that [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei] has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003, though pressure has probably built on him to do so.”

• On January 10, 2025, CIA director William Burns said, “We do not see any sign today that any such decision has been made,” to weaponize their nuclear program.

• On October 7, 2024, Burns said there was “no evidence that Iran has decided to build a nuclear weapon,” and if it did, the U.S. and its allies would most likely be able to detect such a step soon after it was taken.

• The April 2024 U.S. State Department Arms Control Compliance Report said, “The United States continues to assess that Iran is not currently undertaking the key nuclear weapons development activities that we assess would be necessary to produce a testable nuclear device.”

• The 2013 CIA Center for the Study of Intelligence review repeats the National Intelligence Estimate’s (NIE) core judgment: “We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program.” 

• On September 27, 2013, President Obama said, “Iran’s Supreme Leader has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons. President Rouhani has indicated that Iran will never develop nuclear weapons.  I have made clear that we respect the right of the Iranian people to access peaceful nuclear energy in the context of Iran meeting its obligations.” 

The United Nations’ Nuclear Watchdog

• About six weeks after the current war began, Rafael Grossi, head of the IAEA, the UN’s nuclear watchdog, said on April 6, 2026, “While there has been no evidence of Iran building a nuclear bomb, its large stockpile of near–weapons grade enriched uranium and refusal to grant my inspectors full access are cause for serious concern,” adding that “unless and until Iran assists the [IAEA] in resolving the outstanding safeguards issues, the Agency will not be in a position to provide assurance that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful.”

• Roughly a week after the war started, Grossi said on March 4, 2026, that there was no evidence that Iran was currently building a nuclear bomb and that the IAEA had not found proof Iran was developing a nuclear weapon.

• On Oct. 29, 2025, when asked whether Iran was developing nuclear weapons, Grossi said: “No, they are not, and they were not. I want to be very clear on this.” He also said the IAEA’s June 2025 report, “said clearly that Iran did not have such a programme” and that “we do not see anything that would give rise to the hypothesis of any substantive work going on there.”

• On June 20, 2025, one week after the 2025 war on Iran began, Grossi said, “The IAEA can guarantee, through a watertight inspections system, that nuclear weapons will not be developed in Iran.”

Former Fauci Aide Indicted for Conspiracy to Hide Government Records on COVID Origins - but Don't Expect TrumpStein Administration to Follow Through

From [HERE] A federal grand jury today indicted a former senior adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci for allegedly using his personal email account to hide communications about the origins of COVID-19 while shaping the public narrative that the virus emerged from nature instead of from a lab.

Dr. David Morens, 78, who served in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Office of the Director between 2006 and 2022, faces five charges, including conspiracy, destruction of records in federal investigations and concealment of records. Fauci led the NIAID until his departure in December 2022.

Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 5 to 20 years in prison.

According to the indictment, dated April 16 and unsealed Monday in federal court in Maryland, Morens used his personal email account to shield communications from federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

The indictment also lists two unidentified co-conspirators who allegedly collaborated with Morens to conceal and destroy federal records.

According to Fox News, the emails between Morens and other government officials allegedly included “discussions about COVID research, efforts to influence funding decisions, and exchanges related to messaging on the virus’s origins.” [MORE]
