🚨Weaponization Working Group Releases Report on 2023 FBI Richmond Field Office Memo That Targeted Non-Mainstream Catholics

This report sheds further light on the targeting and investigation of non-mainstream Catholics under the previous administration.

“This Department of Justice will not tolerate a weaponized bureaucracy that chills First Amendment activity,” said @AGToddBlanche. “The individuals who developed the Richmond Domain Perspective are no longer with the Department, and our Working Group’s efforts to investigate weaponization under the previous Administration will continue.”

The footage of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Almog Sarusi, Ori Danino, and Alex Lobanov was found in the Gaza Strip and documents them over months in captivity. In August 2024, they were murdered by their captors as IDF forces closed in on the area.

Statement from their families:
The families of the Beautiful Six (Hersh, Carmel, Ori, Eden, Almog, and Alex) want to thank the people of Israel and the millions around the world who watched the harrowing footage of our loved ones with us. Lighting Hanukkah candles in that dark place captures the essence of the Jewish spirit: light prevailing over darkness.

Hamas filmed these videos as propaganda, but the humanity of the beautiful six shines through this footage. It is stronger than any terrorist organization. These videos bear witness to evil and failure. The entire world must see our loved ones in these moments, their unity, strength, and humanity even in the darkest times. They were taken alive, they survived in captivity, and they should have come home alive.

Nothing will bring our loved ones back to life. Only bringing the truth to light, only genuine accountability at the national level, can bring justice and healing to all our hearts.

Our families want to remind everyone that the mission isn't over. We're calling for the immediate return of hero Roni Gvili, the shield of Kibbutz Alumim. And we're calling on every family in Israel: when you gather to light Hanukkah candles, remember our loved ones and all the families of soldiers, the wounded, the hostages, the murdered, and the fallen who will never light candles together again, families who have been waiting nearly 800 days for answers.

Two years. Two years passed since the last moment I saw Avinatan, the love of my life. Two years since the moment terrorists kidnapped us, put me on a motorcycle, and tore me away from Avinatan before the eyes of the entire world.

From that moment, our journey in captivity was separated. I was held captive with children, women, and the elderly, while Avinatan was held alone. I was mostly kept inside houses, while Avinatan was only in the tunnels. Hamas released videos and signs of life from me, while there was no information at all about Avinatan. I was held captive by Hamas for 246 days, while Avinatan was held for 738 days. I came back in a heroic rescue operation, and Avinatan returned in a deal.

But both of us, against all odds, came home and were reunited!

I cannot put into words the range of emotions I felt when I saw him for the first time after so long. Each of us faced death countless times, and yet, after two years apart, we are finally taking our first steps together again in the State of Israel.

At last, we can begin our healing together. The recovery will be long; we still haven’t truly processed what has happened here over these past two years. But we won. We won our personal war, and the war of all those who fought alongside us to reach this moment. And now, the time has come to begin our shared journey together.

I want to say a huge thank you, first and foremost, to the @IDF soldiers and security forces who have been fighting for so long and risk their lives for us every single day. Thank you to our family, friends, and to the people of Israel, Am
Yisrael, who raised their voices when we couldn’t speak. To the people around the world who embraced us, to all the incredible individuals who supported us through the hardest times and never lost hope throughout this long period. To the US government, which opened its doors to me and was always there to listen, especially @SEPeaceMissions Steve Witkoff, @jaredkushner, and the exceptional, President @realDonaldTrump.

To all the people who too stood beside our hostages and understood that light must overcome darkness.

We will never forget the fallen and the murdered, and we will not stop fighting until every fallen soldier and hostage is brought home for a proper burial in Israel.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This could never have happened without you.

We are back ❤️

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

Pete Hegseth just announced that thousands of troops who were fired over the "experimental" COVID vaccine will be "apologized to and reinstated with pay and rank."

Absolutely huge news.

These are some of the best troops we’ve ever had with unshakable courage to do what’s right.

Friends, this is the full 40-minute video of Hamas atrocities that the IDF has decided to release. If you have a weak heart, you don’t need to watch—just share it. Only public pressure will win this battle. We need your support now.

🧵Thread: This will not be easy to read or view, but it’s essential as we approach the first anniversary of the horrific October 7th massacre. We must remember what the Palestinians who entered Israel that day did to men, women, the elderly, children, and babies.

These are just a few of the thousands of images and footage from that day, showing the true face of genocide.

⚠️🚨 WARNING: The following photos are extremely graphic, depicting the brutal reality of genocide. Viewer discretion is strongly advised. ⚠️🚨

I will tell them that there was never a Palestinian Holocaust and after the Palestinians murdered 1200 Jews we fought back and won because we are not the Jews with the trembling knees and it is 2024 and not 1941.

### Mossad's Daring Tehran Operation: Inside the Assassination of Hxmas Leader Ismail Haniyeh

---

As widely speculated but not officially confirmed by the Israeli government, Israel was indeed behind the assassination of Hxmas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last week. The JC can reveal that the explosive device placed under his bed was planted by two Iranians recruited by the Mossad from the Ansar al-Mahdi security unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—the very unit meant to secure the building and its guests.

The Iranians themselves realized this after the assassination when security footage showed guards moving stealthily towards Haniyeh's room, opening the door with a key, and entering. Three minutes later, the guards (who were offered a six-figure sum and relocation to a northern European country) were seen calmly leaving, exiting the building, and driving away in a black car. They were smuggled out of Iran by Mossad an hour later.

Contrary to reports, the device was placed on the day of the explosion, at 4:23 pm, nine hours before it was activated when Haniyeh entered his room. The explosion, set off remotely by a robot, occurred at 01:37 am local time. The Mossad used a precise flat brick explosive to minimize collateral damage, targeting only Haniyeh's room.

The operation, decided upon after October 7, involved a complex network of Mossad spies and local Iranian collaborators. Mossad, with intelligence unit 8200, intercepted phone calls confirming Haniyeh’s attendance at the new Iranian president’s inauguration, prompting the execution of the plan.

Mossad agents regularly visited the area, mapping streets and security measures despite challenges from the guest house's forested surroundings. Five agents, camouflaged in green, climbed trees to gain a clear view of the building and reported Haniyeh’s arrival. Another squad, also dressed in green, watched his room from a different angle.

At 01:20, Haniyeh entered his room. Ten minutes later, the lights went out, signaling the bomb operator. The ensuing explosion killed Haniyeh instantly and critically injured his bodyguard, Wasim Abu Shaaban, who later died. Shaaban was identified as a wanted terrorist involved in a 2014 attack that killed five IDF soldiers.

Following the assassination, Iranian security forces raided the compound, arresting 28 officials and confiscating their electronics. Discovering IRGC involvement, the Iranian authorities were enraged. Their threats against Israel the next day reflected both humiliation and anger over Haniyeh's death.

The Mossad had chances to eliminate Haniyeh in Qatar but refrained to avoid jeopardizing hostage negotiations between Hxmas and Israel facilitated by Qatar. An assassination on Qatari soil could have embarrassed Qatar and threatened future peace discussions with Israel.
