🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: The CIA officer caught with $40 million in gold bars allegedly invented an entire fake top-secret spy program to steal the money.
As if this story couldn't get and wilder:
-David Rush allegedly built a sham "special access program," the blackest box in U.S. intelligence, so secret even top-clearance officials couldn't look inside without authorization
-The fake program posed as "continuity of government" work, the doomsday planning that keeps Washington running after a nuclear war
-He allegedly read in two colleagues as unwitting accomplices and used a made-up government contract to funnel millions, persuading a defense contractor to buy huge amounts of gold
-The FBI raid on his home seized 303 gold bars worth roughly $40 million, $2 million in cash, and 35 luxury watches
-Investigators say he lied about his college degrees, faked being a Navy pilot, and still sailed through the CIA's notoriously brutal vetting
-A judge ordered him held as a flight risk, and several CIA officials are now on leave as the probe widens
The scheme worked because of the system, not in spite of it.
The secrecy walls built to hide operations from China and Russia hid the fraud from the CIA itself.
A man with a fake résumé ran a fake doomsday program inside the most paranoid institution in America, and for years nobody noticed...

@OrevaZSN I think it comes and goes with the mood, no different than you'd smile or squinch your eyes with mood (both of which obviously require energy).
@9mmsmg I think Karmelo more or less already made his mind up about what he was going to do.
Everyone is saying they thought he was bluffing like he was gonna pull something out of his bag, BEFORE he was shoved/pushed. And then in basically the SAME motion as the shove, he stabbed.
We have now heard from six teens who were at the stadium the day Austin Metcalf was stabbed by Karmelo Anthony. Four out of the six are black . All have testified that Karmelo Anthony was asked to leave the Memorial HS team tent, provoked Austin Metcalf, and pulled a knife *before or while* Austin had even pushed Karmelo.
"I'm not going to fight you at a track meet, dude,' Austin told Karmelo, according to teen #3.
During cross examination , defense attorney asks, 'Did he (Austin) grab hold of him (Karmelo?)
Teen #4 says, "He didn't get the chance to grab hold of him. He was already stabbed."
Teen #6 described watching the verbal back and forth between Austin and Karmelo, while Karmelo had his hands in his backpack and claimed he had something in his bag.
'The vein in his arm was visible. It looked like he was grabbing something,' teen #6 said.
Karmelo Anthony is getting cooked 🔥 in court today.
Two kids who were under the tent when the altercation between Karmelo and Austin Metcalf happened have now testified.
One witness said that Karmelo had his hand in his backpack and the kids thought he was bluffing about having a weapon and when Austin went to push Karmelo he stabbed him in the same motion.
The other witness said it appeared as if Karmelo already knew what he was going to do.
He said that it was a light shove.
When asked if it looked as if Austin was trying to pick a fight he answered no.
When asked if it looked as if Karmelo was trying to pick a fight he answered yes.
This does NOT LOOK GOOD for Karmelo Anthony at all.
@Airaxora My cat has electronic buttons with words programmed to them.
She argues me to "Home" "Play" "Toy" "Dad". "Home" "Toy".
No, Dad Bye Bye. Home Later.
"Dad" "Home" "Play". "Play" "Toy" "Dad".
She can be quite insistent!
@JoshOorah@ANTHONYBLOGAN@MattWalshBlog This is how retarded people are.
Theres a thing called chain of casualty
In order for something to happen other things must also happen!
The weapon didnt just get used because it was a random attack. There were events that lead to this action happening!
True or false?
@brockpierson I don't see where it says you are not blocked.
I see where it says Grok itself, via AI, can not block and that you CAN be blocked for excessive tagging or spam.
I've had half a mind to mute you myself. You do post a lot lol
For the first time, we are hearing from a state witness to the fatally stabbing of Austin Metcalf.
He was there to run the 800 meter race
He described the scene as he arrived at the stadium and who was there.
He entered the Memorial High tent and says he saw Karmelo inside.
He testified that Karmelo was hanging out in the tent
“I remember people confronting Karmelo and saying you shouldn’t be here you probably should leave our tent.”
“I also said you should leave”
Prosecutor:: Was it aggressive? “I don’t think so”
“I remember it getting more aggressive”
“I remember Karmelo refusing to leave and Austin saying you need to leave and Karmelo saying 'touch me and find out'”
Austin’s track teammate says Karmelo was asked to leave about 15 times
Prosecutor: “Did anyone try to gang up on him?” No, sir
Prosecutor: “How long did this go on? Roughly 2 minutes”
Prosecutor: “Was Karmelo angry? Yes, sir”
Prosecutor: “Was Austin angry? Yes, sir”
“Karmelo started refusing to leave”
Prosecutors: “Who was provoking? Karmelo”
“Austin leans in to push him and Karmelo stabs him”
“Karmelo had his hands inside a backpack and we thought it was bluff”
He says he and others didn’t believe Karmelo would do anything because they live in a “safe” community
“Austin fell down the bleachers onto his back and he got up”
“He lifted up his shirt where his chest was all bloody and he said i think i got stabbed”
Prosecutor: Did he say anything? “I think he said “Oh my God’”
Prosecution asking about Austin’s shove of Karmelo
“I wouldn’t say it was a light shove or a hard shove, i would say it was more of an in between”
“Was Hunter involved in any of this? No

RO KHANNA: “Let me be clear, Netanyahu is the one that actually told members of congress to add section 224 (merging the U.S. and Israeli militaries) into the bill.”
Khanna says the quiet part out loud. Our elected officials are subservient to a foreign nation. We are Occupied.
**~ $434,000 per hour.**
Based on the current ~$3.8 billion annual U.S. military aid to Israel under the 2016-2028 MOU ($3.3B FMF + $0.5B missile defense).
Calculation: $3.8B ÷ 8,760 hours/year ≈ $433,790/hour.
This is mostly for U.S.-made weapons and joint missile defense. Supplemental packages since Oct 2023 have added tens of billions more, but the baseline ongoing rate is this. Actual disbursements vary by fiscal year and Congress.
The House has REFUSED to remove "Section 224" from the newest Israeli aid bill.
The U.S. and Israeli militaries are set to merge in 2027.
It's over. we lost.
