FBI Orchestrated January 6th to Destroy Trump’s Patriots – U.S. Army Special Forces Veteran Jeffrey McKellop Exposes the Deep State’s Dark Plan!

January 6th wasn’t a spontaneous event—it was a trap. A carefully planned operation by the deep state, designed to destroy Trump’s patriots. Jeffrey McKellop, a decorated U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, has become a political prisoner, locked away by the very government he defended for over 30 years. His story proves the conspiracy to dismantle Trump’s movement and silence anyone who dares to challenge the deep state.

The truth they don’t want you to know? Capitol Police didn’t fail that day—they engineered the chaos. McKellop witnessed it firsthand. An elderly woman was pushed down the stairs three times, sparking the crowd exactly as planned. It was a deliberate move to provoke violence, giving the feds an excuse to brand patriots as domestic terrorists. This was no accident—it was orchestrated.

McKellop has been brave enough to raise the Entrapment Defense, exposing undercover FBI agents who infiltrated the crowd. These agents weren’t just watching—they were inciting the crowd, baiting patriots into confrontations with the police. McKellop has already identified two agents, and the FBI is scrambling to cover it up. They know if the truth gets out, their entire narrative collapses.

The FBI, DOJ, and Capitol Police worked together in this coordinated takedown. They needed January 6th to paint Trump’s base as extremists and justify their assault on patriots. McKellop’s case is unraveling their plot. He’s been imprisoned for over three years, subjected to solitary confinement, psychological abuse, and forced to sign documents to absolve his captors. But they haven’t broken him.

McKellop is calling on patriots to stand firm, reject plea deals, and fight back. The Supreme Court is on our side, and his case could expose the deep state’s role in orchestrating January 6th. This isn’t just about McKellop—it’s about the return of Donald Trump. The deep state is terrified of Trump’s comeback in 2024. They know what’s coming: a total purge of the DOJ, FBI, and the corrupt institutions behind this attack.

Trump will not let this stand. When he returns, executive pardons will free every political prisoner, including McKellop. And the deep state operatives who tried to destroy America will face justice.

This is a war for America’s future. The elites tried to destroy Trump’s supporters, but they’ve only made us stronger. McKellop’s fight is just the beginning. The truth is coming, and nothing can stop it.

Trump is coming back, and with him, the reckoning they fear. Stand with McKellop. Stand with Trump. 🤔

On April 8th 1820 violence erupted when Radical prisoners were taken from Paisley to Greenock jail.

This is a direct follow on from the Battle of Bonnymuir post from three days ago, and the Radical War.

It always worries me posting stories like this, even though it was over 200 years since it happened we Scots have awfy long memories, especially when we sense some injustice.

Some Radical prisoners from Bonnymuir were taken from Paisley to Greenock jail under escort. The citizens of Greenock fought their escort, the Port Glasgow Militia, until they reached the jail, the militia fired indiscriminately into the Greenock crowd, resulting in eight deaths and ten wounded. In spite of the enormity of the Militia’s deed no disciplinary action was taken.

At night the citizens of Greenock rescued the Paisley Radicals, only one of whom was subsequently re-arrested..

The Greenock dead and wounded ranged from eight year old James MacGilp to sixty-five year old John MacWhinnie.

Adam Clephane (48 years) dead

James Kerr (17 years) dead

William Lindsay (15 years) dead

James MacGilp (8 years) dead

Archibald Drummond (20 years) dead

John Mac Whinnie (65 years) dead

John Boyce (33 years) dead

Archibald McKinnon (17 years) dead

(Died of his wounds on 5th May 1820)

Mrs Catherine Turner (65 years) leg amputated

Hugh Paterson (14 Years) leg amputated

Peter Cameron (14 years) flesh wound

John Gunn (24 years) flesh wound

John Turner (22 years) flesh wound

Gilbert MacArthur (18 years) slight wound

Robert Spence (11 years) slight wound

David MacBride (14 years) slight wound

John Patrick (30 years) slight wound

George Tillery (25 years) slight wound.

Hello! I'm here because I'm looking for two specific canon characters to roleplay with against my OC! I'm hoping to find someone ( preferably 21+ ) willing to play one of these two characters for me: - Telemachus from Epic The Musical - hurt / comfort. Adventure, political unrest, prince / servant-esque dynamic ( though only vaguely ). - Tim Stoker from The Magnus Archives - hurt / comfort, probably around s2-s3 so dealing with mental illness. Horror vibes, maybe another overarching threat. In both instances, I'd really like to get into their feelings and their struggles and see how it plays out if they have someone by their side to help and support them. A little about me: I'm 28 ( she / her ) with around 15 years of roleplay / writing experience. I'm comfortable with any gender ( even if the two characters I requested are male ), with OCs, and obviously with LGBTQ+ ships. I'm hoping to do things over discord and am a multi-para roleplayer. I have an OC for what I'd like to do, ready to go. I am willing to double, and what you'd like can be plotted when we start talking. If you're interested, like or interact with my post and I'll reach out to you <3

Hello everyone,

A couple of days ago shit went to hell in different cities in Senegal. Before we get into what happened a couple of days ago, we need to go back to March 2021.

Early March 2021, Ousmane Sonko, the opposition leader of Senegal’s current president, Macky Sall was accused of rape by Adji Sarr. As he was on his way to court, he got arrested. In response, the Senegalese population went out to protest. However, the protests were met with violence from police who used tear gas and guns (with real bullets) against protesters and sometimes even innocent people. The Senegalese government blocked access to the internet to prevent the youth from conspiring and inciting violence. Eventually, Sonko was released and things seemed to go back to normal. However, about 21 young Senegalese people have died during the protests in 2021.

Until a couple of days ago. Last week on Sunday May 28th, the opposition leader Ousmane Sonko was arrested and brought to Dakar from his hometown in Ziguinchor. On Wednesday, prosecutors said they demanded 10 years in prison, but the next day (June 2nd) he was sentenced to two years in jail.

Afterwards, hell broke loose. People have been protesting since but the people have been met with a lot of violence and abuse. Just like in 2021, the government has been blocking access to the internet and certain apps and the current death toll is at 15. I would appreciate it if you can reblog this for visibility and awareness.

If you want to stay updated about what is happening in Senegal, I recommend checking the #FreeSenegal hashtag on Twitter. However TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ because there are unsettling video’s of violence, blood and I don’t want to traumatize anyone.

If you want to know more about what it happening exactly, I created a story highlight on Instagram. Thank you, and if you are in Senegal: STAY SAFE 🇸🇳 or have loved-ones there I HOPE THEY ARE AND WILL STAY SAFE 🇸🇳.

May God help us all.

#FreeSenegal

"The Night Manager" Review: A Solid Remake with Impressive Performances

The Night Manager, a new Indian series on Disney+Hotstar, is a remake of the popular British miniseries based on John le Carre’s book. While remakes usually struggle to live up to the original, this show manages to impress with its own unique style and solid performances from the lead cast. The series follows Shaan Sengupta (played by Aditya Roy Kapur), a former Navy man who now works as the…

This is what’s happening in my home country. I’ve grown numb and apathetic to it all — political unrest is going down, shit is hitting the fan.

I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Not to mention, my mental health is at rapid decline.

I know there’s not much people can do in this situation, but—

It has to stop.

Y’all I genuinely urge you to stay up to date with world politics.

In my country, Venezuela, elections have just been held and the blatant disrespect that the so called government have for their people is astonishing.

How can they claim that Nicolas Maduro, one of the most hated dictators of our time, won 51%/5+ million votes?

How is it possible that he won when the voting panels have been updating every hour how Edmundo Gonzalez (the opposing candidate) has been winning by TRIPLE the vote?

How is it possible that most of the 7.3 million Venezuelan immigrants can’t vote and have no say in what goes on the country that gave them life?

How is it possible that Venezuelans have to fear for their life in voting stations because the military are set there to prevent them from voting?

How is it possible that the pig that’s called president is currently celebrating his “well-earned” victory?

Countries like Chile and Peru are already making statements that they will not recognize the results given by the CNE (the Venezuelan electoral system)

FREAKING ELON MUSK IS MAKING TWEETS REGARDING THE SITUATION

I think it’s sickening how all people can do is talk about it and not do a single thing about it, especially because as a society we try to condemn any harm to human rights just like how we did Russia, who by the way, is one of the dictatorships biggest supporters.

VENEZUELA HAS BEEN FACING AN HUMANITARIAN CRISIS!!!!

People have been facing literal hell since the late 90s and people in power DO. NOT. CARE.

Educate yourself, educate others, and most importantly TALK ABOUT IT, because I’m certain we’re not the first or the last country to go through this.

This is as much as I’ll say.

I hope they all rot in hell.

A desperate prince. A daring outlaw. A dangerous flirtation.

In the Wilds of Kandala, apothecary apprentice Tessa Cade has been watching people suffer for too long. A mysterious sickness is ravaging the land and the cure, Moonflower Elixir, is only available for the wealthy. So every night, she defies the royal edicts and sneaks out, stealing Moonflower petals and leaving the elixir for those in need.

In the palace of Kandala, Prince Corrick serves as the King's Justice, meting out vicious punishments and striking fear into the hearts of agitators and outlaws. Corrick knows he must play this role convincingly—with a shortage of elixir and threats of rebellion looming ever closer, the King's grip on power is tenuous at best, and Corrick knows his brother is the kingdom's best hope for survival.

REVIEW

Brigid Kemmerer does it again – another series to add to my list because she hooked me with the first one. It’s like when I fell fast and hard for A Curse so Dark and Lonely and I ran out to buy books 2 & 3 in the trilogy immediately. (They have since languished on my shelf while I distract myself with so much else, but this is the curse of the mood reader, oops.) But this book reminded me how much I love her writing style, so expect to see the Cursebreaker series reviews sometime soon, because they just bumped much higher up my TBR.

This world is vibrant and fresh, and I love the way Kemmerer layers in her worldbuilding so it feels natural with the pace of the plot. I loved the characters, though I will say I had some issues with the audiobook. Nothing major – Lexie McDougall and Christopher Ragland are both incredible performers – but Lexie voices male characters much more smoothly (and believably) than Christopher voices women. It led to me being pulled out of the story at times, but it was definitely bearable and didn’t detract too hard from the overall experience.

As far as the plot and dynamics, the story is compelling if a bit unclear. We’re left at a semi-resolved point in the story, after a confrontation that was so tense I was literally holding my breath for part of it. The book was a whirlwind of emotion for me, honestly, playing the relationship between Tessa and Corrick out alongside the mounting tensions of the people rebelling against the kingdom. We manage to end on a hopeful note, even with the unresolved tensions and loose ends, but part of me does wonder how this plot can carry three books at this point. I’m expecting some twist, of course, but we’ll have to see.

FINAL THOUGHTS

4/5, if only because we have some room to grow, and there were moments where I struggled to see where the book (and series) was going. I’m hopeful that it continues picking up and carrying its plot, but I am nervous about whether the inevitable twist will work.

RECOMMENDATIONS

If you enjoy books like ACOTAR and Throne of Glass, the Grishaverse, or even Kemmerer’s other series, you should try this one. It’s a strong fantasy world and I’m so excited to see where this is going.

Escalating Conflict: Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza and Lebanon, Political Tensions at Home

Israeli Airstrikes in the Gaza Strip Recent Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip have resulted in the deaths of at least six individuals in Nuseirat and another four in Bureij, both densely populated refugee camps that have existed since the 1948 war that surrounded the establishment of Israel. Additionally, two more fatalities were reported following a strike on Gaza’s major north-south…
