Anti-Trump FBI agent arrested trying to flee country, charged with leaking confidential intel



An FBI agent who accused the first Trump administration of political bias and claimed that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani "may have been compromised" by Russian agents was arrested at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday before he could flee the country.

According to the criminal complaint filed Tuesday, Johnathan Buma was charged with illegally disclosing confidential documents.

Buma, a 15-year FBI veteran and counterintelligence specialist who criticized the first Trump administration's handling of classified information, allegedly printed out nearly 130 files from internal FBI networks in October 2023.

At least eight of the files Buma allegedly printed out contained "sensitive information reports relating to a foreign adversary," and some files contained information that confidential human sources provided to the FBI, which "were clearly marked with protected warnings that made clear that the information was to be protected," said the complaint.

'The book draft contained information that Buma obtained through his position as an FBI Special Agent.'

Buma allegedly also printed out screenshots of messages he exchanged with a confidential source via an encrypted messaging application — images containing information the complaint noted somehow ended up in a news article later that year.

After he allegedly printed what he needed for his tell-all autobiographical book, Buma notified his supervisors of his intent to go on leave without pay. It appears that Buma was not discreet about the planned contents of his book during his unpaid sabbatical, sharing excerpts on social media and allegedly circulating a draft via email that allegedly included details about the bureau's investigations into a foreign country's weapons of mass destruction program.

"The book draft contained information that Buma obtained through his position as an FBI Special Agent that relates to the FBI's efforts and investigations into a foreign country's weapons of mass destruction program," said the complaint.

Federal agents raided Buma's Los Angeles house in November 2023. Mother Jones noted at the time that the search warrant said the agents were searching for classified documents and signs that Buma may have unlawfully removed or retained national defense documents. According to the criminal complaint filed Tuesday, during their raid of his house, federal agents did not find any of the documents Buma allegedly printed.

The attorney representing Buma after the raid claimed that the document search was retaliation for Buma's complaints to congressional investigators about Giuliani's alleged interactions with foreign agents as well as about supposed discrimination and bias at the bureau.

Buma previously claimed that there was a desire among his fellows — at the same bureau that undermined President Donald Trump's campaign and presidency — to scrutinize Hunter Biden's dodgy dealings but not similarly to look into one of Trump's closest allies.

"In Buma's case, the Bureau's conduct raises special concerns that counterintelligence activities targeting the Russian intelligence services are being blocked when they produce evidence that the Bureau considers politically embarrassing," said attorney Scott Horton.

Although arraigned in a Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday, Buma's case was reportedly transferred to California, where the charges were filed. He has been released on a $100,000 bond.

ABC News indicated that as of Wednesday night, Buma had not entered a plea and his attorney had not responded to a request for comment.

The Judicial Insurrection Is Worse Than You Think

The point of all the injunctions and restraining orders is to preserve the supreme rule of unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats.

President Not Allowed To Solve Problems He Was Elected To Fix, Judges Order

There’s no doubt that if President Trump used his executive authority to increase hiring at federal agencies, allow in a million more destitute migrants at the southern border, and fast-track the high-ranking of trans service members, not a single judge would have ordered him to stop. It would have never happened because in America 2025, […]

JFK docs: Internet makes hay of suicided spook's supposed confession that CIA killed Kennedy



President Donald Trump made good on another campaign promise this week with the release of thousands of additional files related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. By 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 2,182 files totaling 63,400 pages were uploaded to the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration's website in accordance with Trump's Jan. 23 executive order.

Academics, amateur sleuths, and others keen for additional insights into precisely what happened on Nov. 22, 1963, at Dealey Plaza are currently poring over the documents. Already, a few files have stood out, including a provocative document that wasn't exactly a secret.

Numerous influencers seized upon the document numbered 104-10170-10145 in the latest tranche as new proof that the Central Intelligence Agency allegedly killed a sitting president.

The contents of the document — a July 19, 1967, CIA memo marked secret — consist of excerpts from a June 1967 article in Ramparts, a now-defunct leftist magazine that was deeply antagonistic of the CIA and suspected by the FBI of "acting as the agent of a foreign principal" during the Cold War, along with notes about the persons and allegations referenced in the article. The allegations contained therein were discussed at length in a Playboy interview with a district attorney months later.

'They say he attributed the Kennedy murder to a CIA clique.'

The Ramparts article noted that John Garrett Underhill Jr., better known as Gary Underhill, "left Washington in a hurry" following the assassination, then showed up to a friend's house in New Jersey in an agitated state. Underhill, who served with the Military Intelligence Service during World War II and then worked on special projects for the CIA, supposedly told his friends that a cabal of CIA agents was responsible for the assassination and indicated that he feared for his life. Six months later, he was found dead of a gunshot wound in his Washington apartment — this, Ramparts noted, was ruled a suicide.

According to the excerpt of the article included in the memo:

The friends whom Underhill visited say he was sober but badly shook. They say he attributed the Kennedy murder to a CIA clique which was carrying on a lucrative racket in gun-running, narcotics and other contraband, and manipulating political intrigue to serve its own ends. Kennedy supposedly got wind that something was going on and was killed before he could "blow the whistle on it." Although the friends had always known Underhill to be perfectly rational and objective, they at first didn't take his account seriously. "I think the main reason was," explains the husband, "that we couldn't believe that the CIA could contain a corrupt element every bit as ruthless — and more efficient — as the mafia."

The article noted further that Underhill was on a first-name basis with senior officials both in the Pentagon and the CIA and served as one of the agency's "'un-people' who perform special assignments." The leftist magazine spiced things up with the suggestion that Underhill had also been a one-time friend of Samuel Cummings of Interarmco, "the arms broker that numbers among its customers the CIA, and, ironically, Klein's Sporting Gods of Chicago, from whence [sic] the mail-order Carcano allegedly was purchased by Oswald."

Before meeting with Jim Garrison, a district attorney from Louisiana who investigated the assassination, Underhill was found dead in his apartment with a bullet wound behind his left ear. His death certificate stated he "shot self in head with automatic pistol" on May 8, 1964.

The wound's location behind Underhill's left ear has prompted some suspicion it wasn't actually a suicide, especially since Asher Brynes, his writing partner who found his body, indicated that "Underhill was right-handed," according to the Ramparts article.

Paul Ogle, apparently an old friend of Underhill's, indicated in a letter months after the apparent suicide that, "Gary had been, for a short time, under psychiatric treatment about a year and a half ago. He unfortunately, did not carry on with it and deteriorated to quite an extent."

'I don't believe it and I don't disbelieve it.'

The agency memo provides some of its records on Underhill and Cummings, noting, for instance, that "CIA memoranda of February and October 1949 show that there was interest by the New York office of OO, Contacts Division, in using [Underhill] as a contact for foreign intelligence. Name checks were conducted with various military members of the intelligence community, but these yielded insufficient information, and OO was advised that contact should be developed with caution, on a limited basis, and that Subject was not to receive information classified higher than confidential."

Underhill had apparently also brought the CIA's attention to photographs of Soviet military subjects that a man named Herman Axelbank was trying to sell in 1949.

The memo indicated that Cummings also worked for the CIA, "traveled abroad extensively, buying foreign weapons," bought weapons for the CIA "intended for resistance elements behind the Iron Curtain," and "engaged in sharp practices in his conduct of business and was also extremely difficult to control."

According to the memo, the Office of Security "recommended against [Cummings'] use by Domestic Contact Service as a source, and in December 1964 the CI Staff advised that it had no operational interest in Subject."

Citing the memo, the popular X account Geiger Capital concluded, "The CIA assassinated JFK, the sitting President of the United States."

ZeroHedge shared the document, writing, "Interesting."

"This seems to be the biggest doc so far from the JFK files," wrote Joshua Philipp, a senior reporter at the Epoch Times.

Underhill's story similarly appeared to be news to evangelical media personality Lance Wallnau, who tweeted, "From the JFK data dump, we have a mysterious death of a CIA whistleblower who believed the agency was involved with the assassination."

Although many online were quick to pounce on the memo, it contains virtually nothing revelatory about Underhill's allegations and demise, which were discussed in Garrison's October 1967 interview with Playboy.

When asked whether he believed Underhill was murdered, Garrison said, "I don't believe it and I don't disbelieve it. All I know is that witnesses with vital evidence in this case are certainly bad insurance risks. In the absence of further and much more conclusive evidence to the contrary, however, we must assume that the plotters were acting on their own rather than on CIA orders when they killed the President."

CIA’s secret grip on USAID is finally exposed — what happens next?



The Hill reported last week that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would cancel 83% of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s programs — a total of 5,200 contracts — “essentially capping a dramatic fall for the foreign aid organization under the Trump administration.” Rubio also expressly thanked the Department of Government Efficiency and “his staff who ‘worked very long hours’ to achieve the reform for USAID.”

As with the Watergate scandal that ended the Nixon administration, uncovering corruption often requires following the money. To borrow a phrase frequently used by Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein, “This is much worse than Watergate.”

Cutting, trimming, and restructuring the CIA is off to a good start, but it’s far from complete.

In my recent book, “Twilight of the Shadow Government: How Transparency Will Kill the Deep State,” coauthored with Kevin Shipp, a former CIA officer turned whistleblower, we examine the agency’s malign influence on American politics. From manipulating financial interests to shaping media narratives, the CIA’s reach extends far beyond intelligence gathering. We explore historical programs like Operation Mockingbird, which paid journalists to plant stories, and more recent efforts such as the seemingly benign “Center for Global Engagement.”

USAID has long operated as a cutout for the CIA, providing cover for the agency to expand its influence abroad. Through USAID, the agency builds what it calls “capacity” in foreign countries, whether by establishing controlled media outlets or funding so-called charitable organizations. Cutting 83% of USAID’s budget systematically dismantles the agency’s ability to extend its reach into these nations.

Ultimately, we propose 12 steps to reform the CIA, beginning with a crucial first move: breaking through the agency’s unconstitutional shield of secrecy and taking control of its hidden budget.

CIA’s shadowy origins

When President Harry Truman created the CIA in 1947, he intended it to serve as an intelligence-gathering body — essentially a daily briefing service for the president. But the agency’s first director, Allen Dulles, had a much broader vision. During World War II, Dulles attempted to negotiate a separate peace with Nazi Germany, aiming to install SS chief Heinrich Himmler as Adolf Hitler’s successor. Fortunately, that plan never succeeded.

Dulles’ machinations continued, however. He brushed aside the concerns of presidents like Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy, overthrowing countries under the pretense of stopping communist revolutions. Even Truman became concerned, famously publishing an op-ed in the Washington Postin December 1963 urging President Lyndon Johnson to remove the CIA’s ability to engage in covert operations.

What were once left-wing positions in the 1960s and 1970s now form the core philosophy of the Trump administration, attracting figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Elon Musk. The key to understanding today’s crisis isn’t just exposing corrupt individuals — whether Allen Dulles, John Brennan, or James Clapper — but dismantling the system that enables them to gain and wield power.

Reining in corruption

Musk plays a crucial role in this effort. Corruption and wrongdoing exist in all groups, but the real challenge is minimizing harm. The solution is transparency. Information must be brought into the open so the public can make informed decisions — whether to reject or accept those in power.

The daily news cycle provides various examples of the transparency promised by Trump and Musk, whether Musk inadvertently tries to sell a secret CIA facility in Northern Virginia or a purge of recently hired CIA officers.

Cutting, trimming, and restructuring the CIA is off to a good start, but it’s far from complete.

To solidify these gains over a rogue agency, Congress must establish effective oversight of the CIA for the first time. Lawmakers who have passed rigorous security investigations must be allowed to delve into the agency’s operations, and the CIA must stop overclassifying relevant information under the excuse of “state secrets.”

We need a strong intelligence service to provide reliable information to our president. But we also need an intelligence service that is subservient to the civilian government and does not, as President John Quincy Adams once warned, venture “abroad in search of monsters to destroy.”

We must stop the forever wars abroad and the assault on our personal freedoms at home. Transparency is the only answer.

Why Washington bureaucrats fear accountability from DOGE



President Trump and Elon Musk are forcing federal employees to play by the same rules as everyday Americans. It’s been a long time coming.

Most private-sector workers understand the reality of unexpected job loss or being fired for cause. Likewise, small businesses and families don’t have an unlimited supply of cash or debt to keep them afloat. But for years, Washington’s bureaucracy has operated in a fantasy world that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Now, it’s being forced to confront the reality of a “normal” existence — and the reaction has been near hysteria.

Thanks to President Trump and the DOGE, accountability is back on the menu in Washington, and now the government must justify its spending — finally.

Nothing threatens Washington more than an outsider who keeps his word. Naturally, the radical left and the D.C. insiders are fighting back with the same old tired playbook.

The bureaucracy fights back

As of mid-March, more than 100 lawsuits or legal actions have been filed against the Department of Government Efficiency and the Trump administration. The New York Times even launched a tracker to keep up — because of course it did. If you can’t beat them, sue them.

Democrats have fired up their fundraising machine, using the specter of government accountability to fuel their hysteria. Even with the midterms more than 620 days away, they’ve begun targeting Musk. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has called him “shady,” a “MAGA elite,” and “the world’s richest extremist.”

Predictably, federal bureaucrats are fighting back against the Trump administration by refusing to work. Federal workers are slowing Trump’s reforms by throwing up roadblocks, denying access to systems, and resisting change in subtle ways. Government unions have seen a surge in interest, with one reportedly unable to process sign-ups fast enough. Other federal workers even walked off the job to join a protest in Washington. This is leftists' standard procedure — because it’s all they know. They learned nothing from the last election, and they’re running the same failed playbook, hoping it will somehow work differently in 2026.

DOGE uncovers government waste

Why are they so scared of accountability? The DOGE’s initial findings make it clear:

Meanwhile, here in the U.S.:

  • $373 million in DEI training grants from the Department of Education that promised to “engage in ongoing learning and self-reflection” to “develop asset-based anti-racist mindsets.”
  • $1.9 billion in the Department of Housing and Urban Development that was simply “misplaced.”

My organization, the Foundation for Government Accountability, testified at the very first hearing of the DOGE subcommittee on Capitol Hill, and the findings were shocking:

My colleague Stewart Whitson identified the core issue during his testimony: “Imagine what else is buried under layers of red tape and government excuses.”

It’s time for accountability

Why are unelected bureaucrats scared of this long-overdue accountability to the taxpayers who pay their salaries?

Because the reality that most Americans live with every day terrifies them. We have to balance budgets, justify expenses, and make hard choices about groceries, bills, and vacations — all while paying the taxes that fund their waste.

Thanks to President Trump and the DOGE, accountability is back on the menu in Washington, and now the government must justify its spending — finally.

That’s what accountability looks like, and the American people are cheering it on.

From darkness to light: The revolution against a rigged system



We stand on the precipice of what may be the greatest awakening in human history. The veil is being lifted. The hidden hands that have controlled nations, siphoned resources, and dictated reality are being exposed. We are left staring into the raw, unfiltered truth: We have been ruled, not represented. We have been deceived, not educated. We have been poisoned, not nourished. We have been enslaved, not free.

The elites who lulled us into complacency with a system that fed us lies have stolen from us, and the theft has been total. They stole our money through manipulated markets, illegal taxation, and an economic system designed to keep the masses in debt while a select few print infinite wealth for themselves. They stole our health, pushing pharmaceuticals over natural medicine, feeding us toxic food, and silencing those who dared to reveal the truth about disease, healing, and the miraculous capabilities of the human body. They stole our history, rewriting it to serve their control.

The old world is dying, and something magnificent is emerging in its place.

But now, the cracks are irreparable. The truth is spilling out in every direction — fraudulent wars, stolen elections, false flags, engineered societal collapse, and decades of human suffering caused not by fate, but by design — and the people are finally seeing it.

The people who once scoffed at the idea of a corrupt elite rigging the system are now seeing their bank accounts drained, their freedoms eroded, and their children indoctrinated. They are watching as those in power hoard resources, live without consequences, and mock those who suffer under the weight of their policies.

And now, something is stirring: the recognition that we are not meant to be cattle in their system. We are the architects of the future.

A brighter world is within our grasp

Imagine what would happen if we took back what was stolen, rejected the elites’ lies, and embraced the truth

Imagine free energy — technology that has existed for decades but was buried to keep us dependent on cartel-controlled oil, power grids, and monopolized resources. Imagine healing without hospitals — medical advancements that can regenerate tissue, eliminate disease, and extend human life span – technology that has already been discovered yet has been suppressed to keep the pharmaceutical industry fat with profit.

Imagine an education system that actually educates — a system that teaches the truth of history, the art of critical thinking, and the power of self-sufficiency. Imagine a world where children are not programmed for obedience but trained to become free and sovereign beings.

We could have all of this, and we could have it quickly. But first, we must break the chains.

The reckoning begins with us

The first step in recovery is acknowledgment. We are at the collective moment where the drunkard stands in the wreckage of his life and admits, “I have a problem.” We are that nation. We are that world. We acknowledge what has been done to us, and we cannot unsee it.

And now, we must act.

This is why the American Made Foundation has launched the DOGA — the Department of Government Accountability. We are done asking for justice. We are done waiting for the elites’ courts, committees, and rigged systems to clean up their corruption. The people will hold them accountable, demand the receipts, and ensure that every one of them is exposed, prosecuted, and removed from the levers of power.

The theft ends now

What is happening now is not a political shift. It is not a moment. It is an epochal transformation, a civilizational rebirth. The old world is dying, gasping its last breath in the corridors of Washington, in the boardrooms of billionaires, and in the crumbling towers of media propaganda.

In its place, something magnificent is emerging: a world of sovereignty. We can build a government where power is returned to the people. We can unleash an economy where innovation is unleashed, not stifled. We can forge a society where justice is restored, families thrive, and the next generation is empowered, not enslaved.

This is not wishful thinking or a dream. This is the natural order of things and ours for the taking.

We stand at the breaking point between two worlds. One is governed by the decayed, corrupted system of the elites’ deception. The other is the bright, boundless future governed by truth. The choice is ours, not theirs.

We have been kept in the dark, but now we have the light. Once a people know the truth, they can never be ruled again.

This is our time. The reckoning has begun. The rising is now.

NATO’s cracks show: Time for a controlled demolition?



When they’re first built, skyscrapers and other towering buildings are impressive. But there comes a time when structural weaknesses raise the danger that one will collapse, injuring or killing many people going about their daily business. Shoring up the building works for a while, sometimes, but often things reach the stage where the most prudent action is to demolish it in a controlled way.

The United States faces similar structural threats today. The two most urgent and fundamental dangers are the unchecked administrative state at home — and, by extension, among globalist NGOs — and the declining condition of many NATO partner countries. Both the administrative state and the U.S. role in NATO were products of postwar efforts to create stability and order after World War II. However, these institutions have grown far beyond their original purposes and now pose significant risks to our national security, economic stability, and core constitutional freedoms.

Both the entrenched administrative state and our current alliances with Western Europe now show serious structural weaknesses.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency project is exposing the depth of corruption and waste within the administrative bureaucracy and its NGO partners. As a result, Americans are starting to see how these networks leave ordinary people struggling to afford basic needs like food and rent. The findings also reveal the extent of the country’s precarious financial situation.

However, fewer Americans realize how European countries have drained U.S. resources — and arguably poisoned the relationship — through their actions. While the United States has shouldered most of NATO’s expenses and defense efforts, European nations have neglected their own militaries and failed to meet their defense commitments.

European nations have made things worse by burdening their own economies with unsustainable welfare programs and excessive regulations that stifle innovation. At the same time, they have imposed unfair tariffs on U.S. goods, increasing the economic strain.

Even more troubling, they are trying to impose regulations on U.S. energy use, free speech, information flow, and even the participation of popular parties in national governments. Recent examples are easy to find, and Vice President Vance recently highlighted some of these issues at the Munich conference.

Meanwhile, they expect the United States to continue draining its resources, admit Ukraine into NATO — which would commit U.S. forces to respond to Russia — and silence any criticism of their actions on social media.

The hypocrisy is both staggering and offensive. For proof, just look at how much Russian oil and gas Germany is buying today, even as it refuses to allow imports of Israeli natural gas.

Is it time to consider a controlled demolition of NATO? Possibly. The alliance should have been restructured or dissolved after the Soviet Union fell 34 years ago. Instead, President Clinton and his successors expanded NATO incrementally by adding former Soviet and communist countries on Russia’s border. That this strategy would provoke a response was entirely predictable.

We must not be drawn farther into this folly. Alliances based on mutual interests and fair contributions are valuable. But having U.S. troops deployed in combat at the whims of Great Britain, France, and Germany — rather than based on American assessments of threats and costs — is not.

The bottom line: Both the entrenched administrative state and our current alliances with Western Europe now show serious structural weaknesses. It’s time to consider dismantling or reforming them before they collapse on American citizens and the nation as a whole.
