“There’s a Number of VERY Troubling Things Happening at the FBI”: Whistleblower Leaks Documents to Project Veritas Showing Agency is Targeting News Organizations With Criminal Investigations (VIDEO)

ORIGINAL LINK

On Wednesday, Project Veritas released documents provided by an FBI whistleblower showing that the agency is targeting news media organizations in the US with secret criminal investigations.

The unnamed whistleblower, who has been a special agent for many years and is still employed with the bureau, provided the classified documents to Project Veritas in hopes of exposing the corruption and politically-motivated targeting that has taken over the FBI.

Based on what he has seen from the inside, these issues are rampant and the law enforcement agency is regularly using its vast powers to target political opponents and opposing voices that dissent from the approved narrative.

According to the documents he provided, the FBI opened a criminal investigation into Project Veritas with a “SIM” [sensitive investigative matter] classification.

The undercover outlets alleged crimes? Violence-harm, extortion, and coercion, among others.

Yes, really.

From the whistleblower:

There’s a number of very troubling things that are happening in the FBI... Project Veritas appears to be a victim of political undertakings, which is where this agency [the FBI] has gone.

The file that your talking about is background on the Project Veritas investigation that resulted in the search warrant at your premises. We don’t see a lot of investigations into news organizations, it’s not common. To see a criminal investigation, particularly one categorized the way this is, is alerting and surprising based on the public information that is provided. 

And, it’s not just a handful of rogue Leftist agents who are running wild. The whistleblower confirmed that these decisions are decided by the top brass at each FBI field office.

Whistleblower: “So, SIM is a classification. That means it’s a ‘sensitive investigative matter.’ Because it’s sensitive it could be a political figure, it could be a news organization.”

Okeefe: “Who makes the classification?”

WB: “It would usually be identified by the case agents who are working it. And it’s also done in conjunction with the Chief Division Counsel of that field office – who is going to be the top internal lawyer… In this case, it is restricted because even the name of the subject [in this investigation] would indicate the [politically-driven] nature of what’s going on.”

This isn’t the first time that PV has exposed Biden’s alphabet agencies for their open targeting of the left’s political opponents. In fact, Biden’s DOJ was busted by the investigative outlet last month for secretly spying on journalists through their iCloud and Gmail accounts.

What’s more, the DOJ pressured Apple and Google to keep quiet about their likely illegal activity. Unfortunately, it probably didn’t take much convincing, considering both Big Tech company’s track records.

Whistleblowers Reveal FBI Investigated Parents Who Spoke at School Board Meetings as Domestic Terrorists Despite Garland’s Testimony

ORIGINAL LINK

Republican Congressmen Jim Jordan and Mike Johnson received documents from FBI whistleblowers that reveal the bureau targeted parents who protested CRT and Covid rules despite Attorney General Merrick Garland’s claims it never happened.

One mom was investigated because she belonged to a ‘right-wing group’ called “Moms for Liberty” and because she owned a gun.

Another dad who opposed masks was investigated because he fit the bill of an “insurrectionist” because he “has a lot of guns.”

Last fall, the National School Board Association (NSBA) coordinated with the Biden White House weeks before AG Merrick Garland classified parents “domestic terrorists” in a letter to the FBI.

The NSBA begged Biden to use federal law enforcement agencies against parents and investigate them for “domestic terrorism and hate crime threats.” They shamelessly claim the situation is so dire that he should use the Patriot Act, among other “enforceable actions” against them.

Merrick Garland targeted parents who dare speak out against Critical Race Theory (CRT) because his son-in-law makes millions off of selling the Marxist literature across the country.

The NSBA begged the Biden Regime to label parents “domestic terrorists” and use the Patriot Act against them.

AG Garland denied this was happening under oath during testimony to lawmakers.

“I can’t imagine any circumstance in which the Patriot Act would be used in the circumstances of parents complaining about their children, nor can I imagine a circumstance where they would be labeled as domestic terrorism,” Garland said in October under oath.

Rep. Jordan says he has evidence from a whistleblower that reveals the FBI targeted parents using terrorism tools.

Fox News reported:

Republican Reps. Jim Jordan and Mike Johnson say they have evidence that the FBI targeted parents who protested schools’ COVID policies despite assurances from Attorney General Merrick Garland that it never happened.

In a letter addressed to the Justice Department, Jordan and Johnson said they have evidence that the FBI labeled dozens of investigations into parents with a threat tag created by the bureau’s Counterterrorism Division to assess and track investigations related to school boards. The evidence comes from “brave whistleblowers” within the Department of Justice, they say in the letter addressed to Attorney General Garland.

Jordan and Johnson, citing a whistleblower, said the FBI opened investigations with the EDUOFFICIALS threat in every region of the country and relating to all types of educational settings.

The lawmakers cited several examples where someone reported a parent, or a state elected official using the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center.

In one investigation, FBI officials interviewed a mom for allegedly telling a school board member “we are coming for you.” The person reported the mom because she belonged to a “right wing mom’s group” called “Moms for Liberty” and because she is a gun owner. FBI officials eventually determined this mom was not a threat.

In another investigation, FBI officials interviewed a dad opposed to masks, according to Jordan and Johnson. The person who reported the dad did so because he supposedly fit the bill of an “insurrectionist” and “rails against the government” and “has a lot of guns and threatens to use them” – claims which the person later admitted they had “no specific information or observations of … any crimes or threats.”

FDA Chief Claims “Misinformation” is Leading Cause of Death in the United States

 https://www.newswars.com/fda-chief-claims-misinformation-is-leading-cause-of-death-in-the-united-states/

During an appearance on CNN, FDA chief Dr. Robert Califf asserted that the leading cause of death in the United States is online “misinformation.”

Yes, really.

Califf spoke about his remarks during an interview with CNN’s Pamela Brown, which were originally made at a health conference in Texas last month when he said online misinformation was “now our leading cause of death.”

After admitting that there was “no way to quantify this,” before mentioning heart disease and cancer (actual killers), Califf went on to bolster the claim anyway.

Claiming that there has been “an erosion of life expectancy,” Califf went on to say that Americans were living an average of 5 years shorter than people in other high income countries.

Shanghai Tightens ‘Covid’ Lockdown Despite Decline In Fake Cases – because it is NOTHING to do with ‘Covid’

 https://davidicke.com/2022/05/10/shanghai-tightens-covid-lockdown-despite-decline-in-fake-cases-because-it-is-nothing-to-do-with-covid/


Following President Xi’s promise last week that the CCP would double down on its stringent lockdown policies, while also pledging to stamp out any dissent by locals who have grown frustrated with the government’s insistence on enforcing its lockdown policies no matter how many people die of non-COVID illnesses, or how many suffer from shortages of food, medicine and other necessities in an economy where even disposable diapers are considered a frivolous luxury.

Now, just as Shanghai was hoping that lockdown measures would be eased as the number of new cases has fallen sharply, authorities have decided to instead tighten those measures.

According to the AP, notices issued in several districts said residents were ordered to stay home and have been barred from receiving nonessential deliveries as part of a “quiet period” lasting at least until Wednesday. The tightened measures could be extended depending on the results of mass testing, the notices said.

White House warns of 100 million COVID infections this fall

 https://www.wnd.com/2022/05/white-house-warns-100-million-covid-infections-fall/

Just as Americans get used to life without masks, shutdowns and other restrictions, the White House is warning that the fall season in which the midterm elections will take place could see up to 100 million new COVID infections.

In response, according to Biden COVID response coordinator Ashish Jha, the administration is asking Congress to approve another $22.5 billion in emergency aid to pay for a fourth round of shots as well as treatments and tests.

However, as Becker News points out, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has acknowledged that 95% of Americans have protection due to vaccination and natural immunity, and the projection of 100 million is based on a range of models. And as recent history has shown, none of those models may turn out to be close to reality.

In fact, a Johns Hopkins University study published in January found that 99% of unvaccinated people who had COVID infections gained robust natural immunity that did not wane for at least 650 days.

Can’t Make This Up: Biden FDA Chief Insists “Misinformation” is Impacting Life Expectancy in the US

 https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/05/cant-make-biden-fda-chief-insists-misinformation-impacting-life-expectancy-us/


So much for COVID, abortions, cancer, heart attacks, violent crime, or fentanyl killing off people like the plague. They all need to move aside. There’s a new threat that has been identified by the ‘experts.’

Now, the Biden regime says that online “misinformation” – aka. the exercising of free speech rights – is impacting life expectancy in the United States, according to Biden’s FDA chief Robert Califf.

And no, he isn’t talking about all of the “safe and effective” propaganda that has been force-fed to populations around the globe by elitist tyrants who are hellbent on jabbing them full of experimental mRNA treatments – actually, it’s quite the opposite.

Biden’s Disinformation Czar Says ‘Liberal Voices’ Are More Likely to be Censored

https://nationalfile.com/bidens-disinformation-czar-says-liberal-voices-are-more-likely-to-be-censored/

Nina Jankowicz, who was recently tapped to head the Department of Homeland Security’s new “Disinformation Governance Board”, said “liberal voices” are more likely to be censored by big tech companies.

“There is already this idea, this allegation that there is anti-conservative bias on the platforms,” Nina Jankowicz said during a livestream. “Even though there has been study after study proving in fact that, often it’s liberal voices that are being silenced,” Jankowicz continued, adding that “minority voices” are the most likely to be censored.

The new disinformation Czar did not cite any of the “studies” referenced in her claim.
