A shotgun was discovered some 30 feet away from the body of Mark Middleton, a top adviser to Bill Clinton, and his death last May — where his body was found hanging from a tree with an electrical cord around his neck and a shotgun blast to the chest — has been declared a suicide.
Middleton was a friend of Clinton from his Arkansas days and joined his presidential campaign early on, becoming a special assistant to Chief of Staff Mack McClarty in 1993.
Middleton signed the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein into the White House on several occasions. He also met with Epstein at least three times in the White House around 1993 and 1994, the Daily Beast reported, citing an unnamed source with knowledge of the situation.
The outlet describes him as a “shadowy figure in the Clinton administration” who later refused to testify at a hearing involving foreign donations to Clinton’s re-election campaign, where several other figures were later convicted.
Initial reports released on Middleton’s death made no mention of a shotgun despite the individual who had discovered the body saying they “could see that he had a gunshot wound to the chest and that he had a knot tied in an extension cord that was around his neck and it was attached to the limb directly above him.”

BREAKING: Perry County Sheriff reverses course, says a shotgun *WAS* found at the scene where Epstein connected aide to Bill Clinton allegedly killed himself. The original report said there was no gun.
Nothing to see here, folks!

Clinton Aid With Ties to Epstein Committed Suicide by Hanging and Shooting Himself
Following that report, the Daily Mail obtained documents stating that a Stoeger 12-gauge coach gun was, in fact, “found on the ground 30 feet from Middleton’s body.”
The newspaper reports that the former Clinton aid “took great lengths to ensure his suicide bid was successful.”
After texting his wife to say he had “found a perfect place for a nap in the sun,” Middleton “tied an electrical cord around his neck and then shot himself, so if the blast didn’t kill him the wire would when he fell.”

Extra credit for being super-thorough with your suicide. Why anyone would assume a shotgun blast to the chest wouldn’t finish the job and have the forethought to devise a backup plan is a mystery.
“It is believed that Mr. Middleton then took the firearm and placed the barrel against his chest and then reached out with his left hand and placed his first finger on the first trigger,” according to the documents.
“It is then believed that Mr. Middleton pulled the trigger on the firearm casing (sic) it to discharge and strike him in the chest and then he fell from the bench causing the extension cord to become tight cutting off his breathing.”
As for the shotgun winding up 30 feet away from his body, the findings state this is “due to the recoil from the discharge and the height and angle of the ground.”

As Ghislaine Maxwell is trending this would be a nice time to remind you that Mark Middleton, a former aide to President Bill Clinton who introduced him to Jeffrey Epstein, committed suicide in May with a shotgun and the judge has sealed the records.

Clinton Confronted Over Relationship With Sex Offender
Doug Band, another former top aide to Bill Clinton, made shocking allegations in a 2020 interview with Vanity Fair, including claims that the former president took a trip in 2003 to Epstein’s famed private island.
Clinton had traveled on Epstein’s jet – known as the ‘Lolita Express’ – 26 separate times, according to a Fox News analysis.
Other analyses of flight logs led to claims of fewer trips, but there is no denying he traveled on the plane.

Epstein was convicted of procuring for prostitution a girl below the age of 18 in 2008 and was facing sex trafficking charges until he died by suicide, according to authorities, in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.
Months ago, Clinton was confronted by a reporter asking about his relationship with Epstein, prompting an awkward response as the former President was ushered away by an aide.

“Mr. Clinton, any comment on the allegation of your alleged connection with Jeffrey Epstein?” the reporter asked.
Clinton spokesman Angel Ureña’s expression quickly shifted at that time to an uncomfortable smile while it took the former President a bit to realize what was being asked.
“I think the evidence is clear,” Clinton laughed, backing away as Ureña tried to move him along.
The coroner ruled Middleton’s death a suicide noting a history of depression.
In 1993, Vince Foster, who was a Deputy White House Counsel for the Clintons, committed suicide after a long bout with depression. His body was found in Fort Marcy Park, just miles from the White House.

Joe Biden on Friday afternoon stopped to chat with reporters on the South Lawn as he departed for another weekend vacation in Delaware.
According to the New York Post, since being installed in January 2021, Joe Biden has spent more than 40% of his presidency on vacation.
Biden incoherently rambled when a reporter asked him if he was planning on visiting East Palestine, Ohio after the train derailment and toxic disaster.

Joe Biden flew all the way to Ukraine to offer more military aid to Volodymyr Zelensky, but he refuses to visit East Palestine.
Trump delivered water, goods and food to East Palestine residents while Biden was in Ukraine giving Zelensky more military aid.
“Are you planning on traveling to East Palestine?” a reporter asked Joe Biden.
Biden couldn’t even string a sentence together.
“At this moment not. I was, I did a whole video, I mean, uh, you know, the uh, what the Hell? On Zoom. All I can hear every time I think of Zoom is that song of my generation, ‘Who’s Zoomin’ Who?’” Biden said.
Biden defended his Regime’s slow response to the toxic disaster.
This guy is completely shot and he is leading us into a nuclear Armageddon.

Tempe Police Interim Chief Josie Montenegro, Phoenix DEA Special Agent in Charge Cheri Oz, and questionably elected Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes held a joint press conference Thursday to discuss the massive narcotic seizures in the Phoenix area, including over four and a half million fentanyl pills and over 140 pounds of fentanyl powder.
These dangerous drugs primarily come from criminal illegal drug traffickers with the Sinaloa Cartel, says Cheri Oz.
It is unclear how many narcotics were seized in 2023 to date. “These seizures have occurred over a period of time of just over three years, and the investigations stem from the city of Tempe. The majority of our seizures have occurred locally. But, all the seizures that you do see have occurred within the state of Arizona,” said Interim Chief Josie Montenegro.
Montenegro continued, “the sample you see here today is staggering. There are over four and a half million fentanyl pills, over 140 pounds of fentanyl powder, over 135 kilos of cocaine, over 3000 pounds of methamphetamines, 35 kilos of heroin, 49 firearms, and over 2 million in cash.”

“To date, the monetary value of all the drugs seized is over $13 million.”
Tempe is not the only community seeing the damning effects of this crisis. In 2022 alone, the DEA seized over 50.6 million deadly fentanyl-laced, fake prescription pills and over 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder, half of which came from Arizona. According to the DEA, this is enough to kill over 379 million people.
The Gateway Pundit reported last September that more than one million fentanyl pills were seized from a home in Avondale, Arizona, in what police called the “single largest fentanyl seizure in Phoenix police history.”
“Last year nationwide, we lost 107,622 lives to drug poisonings with fentanyl being the primary drug,” said Phoenix DEA Special Agent in Charge Cheri Oz. “The drug cartels are putting fentanyl in all of their illicit drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and fake pills, which they disguise to look legitimate, like pharmaceutical pills. It is trickery. It is deception. It is death.”
She added, “Fentanyl in this room alone contains over 30 million lethal doses, potentially.”
Fentanyl is highly dangerous and is currently the leading cause of death for Americans 18-45 years old.
“in 27 years in law enforcement, I’ve never seen a drug as dangerous and deadly as fentanyl,” Oz stated.
“I want to be crystal clear,” said Oz, “the drugs that are flooding Arizona every single day are sourced primarily by one evil entity, the Sinaloa Drug Cartel.”
“The Sinaloa Drug Cartel is evil, and they’re motivated by greed. They’re recklessly endangering our communities, taking lives every single day,” she added.
Oz concluded her presentation by saying, “this is literally a matter of life and death.”
Kris Mayes billed this seizure as a “recent large-scale interagency narcotics investigation in the Valley.”
However, during her speech, Mayes failed to mention that this investigation has been ongoing for over three years. This was likely just political theater meant to appeal to Arizonans before the fraudulent Katie Hobbs and Kris Mayes administrations further open the southern border and give free rein to the cartels.
Fake News Arizona Central reported, “In addition, Mayes called the Sinaloa Drug Cartel out by name, saying in part that they are ‘evil.’” But, Mayes did not call out the cartels or call them “evil.” In fact, she did not even mention the cartels until she was asked about them in a subsequent press gaggle.
When asked if she was open to using Arizona’s sovereign authority to secure the border, Mayes told The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson, “that’s a federal issue, and I’m not going to address that right now.”

– World War III watch –
The Biden Administration is dangerous.
After nearly a year of fighting a proxy war in Ukraine against a nuclear power, Biden has driven Russia and China closer together and the world is now facing a nuclear WWIII.
Germany’s Der Spiegel on Thursday reported that China was negotiating with Russia to supply Kamikaze drones to the Putin regime.

According to Der Spiegel, Russia is reportedly in negotiations with China to purchase 100 ZT-180 prototype kamikaze drones. They are able to carry a 35 to 50 kg warhead.

Ajay Banga led ‘technological and cultural transformation’ of MasterCard and now he’s being promoted

Guest post by Leo Hohmann on Substack
The Biden administration has appointed Ajay Banga, a member of the globalist Trilateral Commission, to head up the World Bank.
In fact, Patrick Wood reports in a new article at Technocracy.News, that Biden is stacking his administration with current or former members of the Trilateral Commission.
Here is the growing list of Trilateralists in Biden’s inner circle who are steering policy in the direction of global governance and the erosion of U.S. sovereignty:

Anthony Blinken – Secretary of State
Susan Rice – Domestic Policy Advisor
Mark Brzezinski – Ambassador to Poland
R. Nicholas Burns, U.S. Ambassador to China
Ken Juster, U.S. Ambassador to India 2017-2021
Wendy Sherman, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State
Jake Sullivan, U.S. National Security Advisor
Lael Brainard, Member, U.S. Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors
Eric Schmidt – Office of Science and Technology Policy
John Podesta – Green New Deal spending tsar
Ajay Banga – President of the World Bank

The one holdover from the Trump administration was Ken Juster, who, like many of the others on the list, is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, another America-last globalist organization that has owned U.S. foreign policy in the post-World War II era.
When the Trilateral Commission was formed in 1973 by globalist banker David Rockefeller and globalist professor Zbigniew Brzezinski, Wood reports that the two men successfully engineered a takeover of the Carter Administration in order to control the economic engine of the world: The United States.
Since that time, six out of nine appointed World Bank presidents have been members of the Trilateral Commission. Nine out of 12 U.S. trade representatives have also members.
Now, Biden has used his presidential appointment power to pick Ajay Banga as the latest president of the World Bank. According to a White House press release on the appointment:
“Ajay Banga currently serves as Vice Chairman at General Atlantic. Previously, he was President and CEO of Mastercard, leading the company through a strategic, technological and cultural transformation.  Over the course of his career, Ajay has become a global leader in technology, data, financial services and innovating for inclusion. He is Honorary Chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce, serving as Chairman from 2020-2022. He is also Chairman of Exor and Independent Director at Temasek. He became an advisor to General Atlantic’s climate-focused fund, BeyondNetZero, at its inception in 2021. He previously served on the Boards of the American Red Cross, Kraft Foods and Dow Inc. Ajay has worked closely with Vice President Harris as the Co-Chair of the Partnership for Central America. He is a member of the Trilateral Commission, a founding trustee of the U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum, a former member of the National Committee on United States-China Relations, and Chairman Emeritus of the American India Foundation.”
Wood says that Banga is the perfect pick to usher in a new global financial system based on digital IDs and central bank digital currencies. He is a cybersecurity expert and former head of Mastercard.
It’s interesting that Banga comes from MasterCard, which is on the leading edge of climate change and the war against so-called fossil fuels. It has a new card available, voluntary for now, that measures users’ carbon footprints according to their purchases, travel habits, etc. When you’ve reached a certain monthly limit, your credit shuts down.
Banga was born, raised, educated and employed in India, ultimately climbing to the top of Mastercard.
Wood concludes his article by writing:
“For anyone who thinks that the Trilateral Commission has no influence in today’s world, or indeed, is still calling all the plays, they are ignorant of history and the depth of entanglement that remains to this day. In fact, the Commission still controls all economic policy within the White House and they are intent on driving the world into and through the Great Reset into Technocracy.”

Orlando, FL- The Orange County Sheriff’s Department released the police bodycam footage Thursday showing the arrest of triple-murder suspect Keith Moses, who was detained Wednesday for killing three people and injuring two others.
The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor previously broke the news on Moses’s arrest.
KSAT 12 News reported the deceased victims are 38-year-old Nathacha Augustin, 9-year-old T’yonna Major and Spectrum News 13 reporter Dylan Lyons. The two victims wounded in the shooting are the mother of the 9-year-old girl and news photographer Jesse Walden.
The entire incident took place at the crime-ridden Pine Hill neighborhood, which is known by residents there as “Crime Hills.” A local news team, Spectrum News 13, was there covering a deadly shooting in the area.
In the bodycam below, Moses is screaming “they’re killing me,” I can’t breathe,” and “let me go” as sheriff deputies try to place him in handcuffs.

Based on his cries, one of the deputies suspects Moses may be on drugs.
Another deputy requests his knife so he can cut the fabric of Moses’s pants to locate the suspect’s gun. Moses continues to scream “I can’t breathe” like a baby.
The firearm is then removed from the suspect’s pants and deputies report the firearm is “still hot,” meaning it was fired recently. The video then concludes with Moses continuing to wail.
KSAT News reported that Moses was taken to a local hospital for evaluation based on his “I can’t breathe” cries. Another local station, WKMG, reported he had to be subdued after resisting hospital staff and sheriffs’ deputies.
Moses has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting that killed Augustin. More charges are expected.
Moses has a long criminal history. His record includes charges of aggravated battery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, and grand theft.
He had no business walking the streets of Orlando. Now three people are dead due to the legal system’s failure.

Project Veritas has released a video saying they want James O’Keefe back after losing hundreds of thousands of followers and begging donors not to abandon them.
The video came on the same day that a dozen Project Veritas whistleblowers published a video and penned a letter to the organization’s board of directors saying they stand with the ousted founder.
“We, the staff at Project Veritas, are at a crossroads,” the video begins. “High-level disputes between our leader and founder, James O’Keefe, and the volunteer Board of Directors who are responsible for oversight of the nonprofit have resulted in James no longer being here.”

A message from the Project Veritas staff
We have and always will remain loyal to James’ vision, our mission, our country, and our supporters#Resilience pic.twitter.com/ldQYtbP7q5
— Project Veritas (@Project_Veritas) February 24, 2023

The video continues, “James is not only the founder of Project Veritas, but the creative visionary of our mission. This devastated us and the audience we exist for,” the video continued. “James hasn’t resigned, nor was he fired. These events confuse, and they hurt us — leaving all of us in a state of limbo.”
“So, we have a choice to make. We want James back, but we have a duty to our generous supporters, to all of you, and to our journalistic integrity to break record stories which impact our culture, and most importantly, the future of our country,” the video states. “The board may have their obligations, but we are Project Veritas. James assembled this team of over sixty individuals who have bonded together in a common mission to expose waste, fraud, and abuse.”
It goes on, “We expose everybody. This band of journalists, editors, producers, and all staff are still here to ensure the work gets done. Jame taught us to move mountains. We know that evil exists, we fight it every day. We don’t blame anyone for assuming the worst or thinking we’ve been co-opted by some outside force. But this fact still stands: no board or donor ever tells us what to report, and they never will.”
“We will never replace James O’Keefe,” one of the narrators says. “But for now, we see it as our job to hold the torch for him while keeping the door wide open for his return. We will keep the spirit of James’ mission alive for as long as we are able. We have investigations underway and stories to release. Our reporters are in the field. As James has always told us, ‘content is king.’ Our visionary may not be with us right now, but Project Veritas mission is vital. We will produce stories and break news until a day comes when we can’t.”
“”Until then, we will keep this mission going for our country, for the truth, and for James. We know the world is watching and that some are hoping that we fail. We need you to know that as the Project Veritas team, we don’t want to see a Project Veritas without James O’Keefe,” it concludes. “Due to decisions made outside our control, it’s possible we never earn back the trust of this audience — but we owe it to all of you to try.”
O’Keefe was removed from his position as CEO by the Project Veritas board earlier this month. The blowback against the organization was swift, as hundreds of thousands of people unfollowed them on social media.
Many, including people within Project Veritas, referred to the move as a coup.
A leaked email from the organization, sent to large donors, claimed that O’Keefe was placed on “temporary suspension until the audit was completed,” noting the founder “specifically said he did not resign, and the board did not fire him.”
