Ceasefire deal – but will it last?
January 16, 2025
post photo preview

Yesterday, the State of Israel, and the effective government of Gaza, reached a ceasefire agreement. No one knows yet whether this will end the Fourth Arab-Israeli War. Nor does the world know how many hostages that nominal government will reach. But despite attempts by the Biden administration to claim credit, everyone else acknowledges the Trump Effect in bringing it about. In short, had Trump lost his reelection, the world would not now be having this conversation.

What is in that ceasefire deal?

Negotiations took place between the State of Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Arabic Harakah al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmiyyah, abbreviated HAMAS). The Emirate of Qatar, which has played host to HAMAS leaders for years, played host to the negotiations as well. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews broke a hint on Monday (January 13). They got their hint from The Times of Israel, who in turn cited (but did not link to) Reuters.

Not everyone in Israel was happy with any deal. Bezelel Smotrich, head of the Religious Zionism Party, said it would be a catastrophe. Nevertheless, the deal seemed to be going through the next day, according to Newsmax.

Yesterday, CNN broke the story of a finished ceasefire agreement. CNN maintained one live-update page, then started another one this morning. Another report came in from Jewish Insider. As Charlotte Hazard reported on Just the News, President-elect Donald Trump announced the deal on Truth Social:

WE HAVE A DEAL FOR THE HOSTAGES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THEY WILL BE RELEASED SHORTLY. THANK YOU!

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113833442957238587

Shortly thereafter, Trump offered greater detail:

This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November, as it signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies. I am thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones.
With this deal in place, my National Security team, through the efforts of Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will continue to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven. We will continue promoting PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH throughout the region, as we build upon the momentum of this ceasefire to further expand the Historic Abraham Accords. This is only the beginning of great things to come for America, and indeed, the World!
We have achieved so much without even being in the White House. Just imagine all of the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House, and my Administration is fully confirmed, so they can secure more Victories for the United States!

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113833531533520804

HAMAS evidently tried to change the agreement at the last minute, concerning deployment of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops in the Philadelphi Corridor. That didn’t last.

Due to the strong insistence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hamas folded on its last-minute demand to change the deployment of IDF forces in the Philadelphi Corridor. However, several items in the framework have yet to be finalized; we hope that the details will be finalized tonight.

https://x.com/KassyAkiva/status/1879601485626892722

The Jerusalem Post contained the best statement of what the deal provides:

Phase 1:
* 33 hostages released; none confirmed deceased.
* IDF begins staged withdrawal, keeping a Gaza security perimeter.
* Terrorists with life sentences released, excluding October 7 “Nukhba” fighters.
* Lasts 42 days; some IDF presence in the Philadelphi corridor.
Phase 2:
* Talks on more hostage releases and further IDF withdrawals start on day 16.
* Security protocols for Palestinian returnees to northern Gaza.
Phase 3:
* All hostages released; IDF withdraws fully only after their freedom.

The “returnees” are residents of the northern Gaza Strip, who fled south as the IDF invaded.

Details, and disputes over credit claims

Those 33 hostages are all women, children, men over 50, and younger men considered “humanitarian cases.” In exchange, HAMAS gets back 2000 “convicted terrorists,” including 250 serving life sentences, and 1000 prisoners-of-war. But Israel will not release anyone who took part in the atrocities of October 7, 2023. The Post estimates that HAMAS now holds 98 hostages – or as many as still live.

President Biden tried to claim credit:

At long last, I can announce that a ceasefire and a hostage deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas.

https://x.com/POTUS/status/1879635997673009302

The road to this deal has not been easy.
I have worked in foreign policy for decades – this has been one of the toughest negotiations I have ever experienced.
And we have reached this point because of the pressure that Israel built on Hamas backed by the United States.

https://x.com/POTUS/status/1879643481078895059

The elements of the ceasefire and hostage deal is what I laid out in detail this past May – which was embraced by countries around the world.
I’m deeply satisfied this day has finally come, for the sake of the people of Israel and the sake of the families of hostages waiting in agony. And for the sake of innocent people in Gaza who have suffered unimaginable devastation.

https://x.com/POTUS/status/1879640359841763425

A reporter asked President Biden who deserved credit for the ceasefire agreement – him, or Trump. Biden snapped, “Is that a joke?”

https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1879609312332624276

Later, the State Department admitted that Trump and his team were “absolutely critical” to arranging it.

https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1879623095696199987

Mohammed Al-Khulaifi, Minister of State in Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also gave Trump full credit. In fact, according to The Western Journal, another Arab official said Trump and his team

did more for a hostage deal in a single meeting than the Biden administration did in a year.

Analysis

The key man turned out to be Steve Witkoff, nominated as Special Envoy to the Middle East. Even Mr. Witkoff’s boss hasn’t taken office yet – and already his team can claim a diplomatic triumph.

Geraldo Rivera said Trump “closed the deal” by “scaring the h@ll out of everybody.”

placeholder

Having said that, this deal will definitely not please everyone. Of the 98 hostages still unaccounted for, perhaps 60 remain alive. The 33 set for earliest release apparently include those holding American citizenship. Maybe the world can hope these are still alive.

Any released hostage, many will count as a gain. As for HAMAS convicts and prisoners, Israel might regard them as weeds. Pull one up, and another takes his place.

But already at least one patriotic Israeli is upset with Trump over this deal. Avi Abelow, writing in Arutz-7, wonders what Trump is thinking. He says Israel gave up far too much – unless Trump had in mind preventing a worse action by Biden in his final days in office. That could indeed be the problem, because President Biden has been taking many actions Trump will have to reverse. Was Biden planning to bad-mouth Israel at the United Nations? The world will likely never know.

On the other hand, shrill voices on the left aren’t happy, either – as long as Israel still exists.

You pontificate about a free press! I am asking questions after being told by Matt Miller that he will not answer my questions! Criminal! Why aren’t you in The Hague! Why aren’t you in The Hague! Why aren’t you in The Hague!

https://x.com/willy_lowry/status/1879930156644811084

300 reported in Gaza on the receiving end of your bombs! Why did you keep the bombs flowing when we had a deal in May? We all knew we had a deal! Everyone in this room knew we had a deal, Tony and you kept the bombs flowing!
Why did you sacrifice the rules-based order on the mantle of your commitment to Zionism? Why did you allow my friends to be massacred? Why did you allow my friends homes in Gaza to be destroyed when we had a deal in May! You helped destroy our religion, Judaism by associating it with Fascism! You waved the white flag before Netanyahu! You waved the white flag before Israeli fascism!
Your father-in-law was an Israel lobbyist! And your grandfather was an Israel lobbyist! Are you compromised by Israel? Why did you allow the Holocaust of our time to happen? How does it feel to have your legacy be genocide? How does it feel for your legacy to be genocide?
You, too, Matt [Miller]! You smirked through the whole thing! Every day, you smirked through the genocide!

Max Blumenthal

Surely the victims of October 7, 2023 would most emphatically disagree with both those men.

Kamala Harris campaign dying

The Kamala Harris campaign is gasping for breath, as a critical-care patient does shortly before dying. Even one of Donald J. Trump’s most vicious detractors among evangelical or “born-again Christians” will no longer deny the signs. At the same time, two other Christian apologists have discovered that tens of millions of self-identifying Christians do not even plan to vote, and are asking them to reconsider.

Extinctionism – older than you think

Elon Musk occasionally likes to highlight a particular person or issue that concerns him, by posting about it on X. With one hundred fifty-nine million followers, he can make that person or issue “go viral” with a single post. Today he left two posts, on a subject that has concerned him for well over a year: extinctionism. Indeed he went so far as to say that extinctionism is the real ideological threat to humanity.

Extinctionism – what is it, and who actively propounds it?

Extinctionism means seeking the extinction of the human race. Even that concept, as extreme as it sounds, encompasses a broad spectrum of ways to achieve that end. Elon Musk highlighted one of them in his two posts:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1710394306572251409

Les U. Knight founded the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, abbreviated VHEMT (pronounced Vehement, “because that’s what we are,” says Knight.) Its method is simple: let all human beings abstain from reproduction. Thus the human race would die off by simple attrition. If everyone adopted that ...

Election integrity front and center

Election integrity is back in the news this week, as even Elon Musk’s DOGE has produced relevant findings. A legislative leader in Michigan, and Missouri’s new top election official, both have announced action to make elections trustworthy again. So a more thorough review, both of the motives of the left in undermining election integrity and of how to run a trustworthy election quickly and efficiently, are in order.

Qualifications to review election integrity, both current status and reform plans

Your editor, once again, is an Officer of Election with nearly four years’ experience, including a full year as Chief. He knows how elections currently run, and what makes them vulnerable. Moreover he has received insights from several election integrity activists who have organized various kinds of protests of present systems.

One such activist – who shall remain nameless – urged voters to mutilate their ballots so that no scanner-tabulator could read them – but a human being could. The Attorney General directly threatened to prosecute him for that, and the State Secretary of State sent a letter to every registrar in every unit (that is, county or independent city), advising them to be on the lookout for anyone mutilating his ballot. Accordingly, that activist desisted from that campaign.

On the other hand, at least one registrar recognizes that power might fail during an election. Inclement weather is one possible cause. Accordingly, every Chief’s Bag contains paper poll books and instructions for counting ballots by hand until the power company can restore power.

The issues that affect election integrity today include without limit:

  1. Voter rolls that still have names of voters who have died or moved out of State – or others who shouldn’t vote at all,

  2. Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) that produce output no human can read, and

  3. Scanner-tabulators that provide no reliable assurance to anyone on the scene, including the Chief OOE, that the final vote count is accurate.

Latest findings from DOGE, etc.

Over the weekend, Elon Musk held a town hall in advance of tomorrow’s Special Supreme Court Election in Wisconsin. There the entire Congressional district map is under challenge. Musk fears that a liberal court will, in Equitarian fashion, throw out the map in favor of a map that favors Democrats. (An equitarian is a trial judge who abuses his equity powers, or an appellate judge who assumes equity powers his court does not have. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor of the United States Supreme Court are all equitarians and constitute that Court’s Equitarian Bloc.)

Joining Musk on the rally stage was one Antonion Gracias, a key member of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). According to Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit, Musk and Gracias displayed a chart showing:

a dramatic spike in Social Security Numbers issued to non-citizens, soaring from 270,000 in 2021 to a mind-blowing 2.1 million in 2024. That’s almost 5 million non-citizens now embedded in the system—collecting benefits, draining taxpayer dollars, and, most alarmingly, infiltrating the voter rolls.

The arithmetic above might look incomplete, but it reflects incidence, or new cases every year. The five-million figure indicates prevalence, or total existing cases. Social Security remains today the mainstay of personal identification – though the law technically forbids that. The Social Security Administration is supposed to know who is, or is not, a citizen, and when someone dies. Clearly someone wasn’t paying attention. Musk called this:

a massive, large-scale program under the Biden administration to import as many illegals as possible—ultimately to change the voting map of the United States, disenfranchise the American people, and lock in a permanent deep-blue, one-party state from which there’d be no escape.

In fact the Social Security Administration lays itself wide-open to fraud by illegal immigrants. From Mr. Gracias:

And then you walk across the border. They do what’s called a “release on your own recognizance” and give you an NTA — a Notice to Appear — which is to appear before a judge. The wait times on judges are, on average, six years. Look it up on Grok — you’ll see it. Immigration judges — there are only 700 of them. This is 5.5 million people.
So what happens then? Once you’re in the country and you’ve got asylum through one of these pathways — and we mapped the whole thing out — you can apply for a work document. You file a 765 — that’s the work form. You get this form called the 766 — that’s the authorization. And then the Social Security Administration automatically sends you your Social Security number in the mail. No interview. No ID.

placeholder

What that means for election integrity and Congressional representation

Lay aside the dreadful human cost of trafficking, a frequent means of illegal immigration. Think of how many people now have Social Security numbers – and are offering this as proof of citizenship. In too many States, that’s all the proof one needs to register to vote! Musk and Gracias pointed out that many of those five and a half million not only registered, but also voted.

This is what Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-Va.) was trying to stop with his Executive Order for registration vetting. Recall, from CNAV’s discussion of Executive Order 35, that the Justice Department, and the Virginia Coalition for Immigrant Rights, sued to force the Commissioner of Elections to leave the voter rolls alone. They alleged that:

  1. Noncitizen voting is “vanishingly rare,” and

  2. Actual naturalized citizens were losing their right to vote.

Elon Musk has just offered further counterexamples against the first allegation. As to the second, any citizen so affected has ample opportunity to “square” that with his registrar.

Even when noncitizens do not register to vote – or lose voting registration without suffering deportation – their presence presents a problem. The United State Census now counts all persons, excluding only Native Americans who pay no U.S. taxes. Democrats object so vociferously to mass deportation for one reason only: there go their seats in the House of Representatives.

The Michigan election integrity investigation

Michigan is embroiled in a voter fraud scandal that dates from the Election of 2020, involving fraudulent voter registrations. Patty McMurray of The Gateway Pundit has followed that scandal for four years. In her latest report she describes the suspicions surrounding GBI Strategies, a Democrat-funded group specializing in voter registration. One month before the Election of 2020, the Clerk of Muskegon, Mich., noticed boxes of registrations mailed in from Auburn Hills – on the opposite side of the State. Many of these registration forms had the same addresses, and even the same handwriting.

The investigation began with the Muskegon Police Department. But it now involves the Michigan State Police and Michigan’s Secretary of State and Attorney General, both Democrats. Furthermore, more than one City or County Clerk received similar packages from GBI Strategies or its front group, Empower America. Somewhere in the process, the FBI – under Director Christopher Wray – entered the case.

Now State Rep. Rachelle Smit, Chair of the House Committee on Election Integrity, has announced her intention to press the FBI for progress on that investigation. She couldn’t have picked a better time for that pressing – because today the FBI has new, patriotic leadership. So has the Department of Justice, of course.

Equal time for hand-count advocates

Last comes a report of the most significant event in the debate on how and when to count ballots. This report comes from Joe Hoft, occasional Gateway Pundit contributor and host of his own show. The Missouri Clerks Association recently demonstrated electronic voting machines to a skeptical public. Now newly appointed Secretary of State Denny Hoskins has agreed to schedule a demonstration of hand counting. This demonstration will take place April 2, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon CDT.

https://x.com/PatriotFlyover/status/1902178686175977893

This equal-time demonstration might have been very difficult to arrange, except for a persistent problem with electronic voting machines. No one seems to know how to certify them. In August 2022, a State representative candidate sued the State,

alleging that the laboratories responsible for testing and certifying the state’s electronic voting equipment lacked proper legal accreditation, violating federal election law.

As Jim Hoft of TGP noted then, then-Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft had that suit removed to federal court. The next year, activists filed two formal complaints with the Secretary of State. They alleged noncompliance with State and federal law in electronic voting machine certification. Now Missouri has a new Secretary of State, who is open to election reform to ensure – or restore – election integrity.

In fact, activists in Virginia and many other States specifically allege that no certification of any Ballot Marking Device or scanner-tabulator can legitimately be valid under current procedures. Reasons include:

  1. BMDs producing output that humans can’t read, but that the scanner-tabulator is supposed to read, and

  2. Scanner-tabulators with proprietary software that therefore represents a secret count, in violation of nearly every State’s laws.

An actual hand-count proposal

About three weeks ago, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) made news with a draft copy of his Make Elections Secure Again Act. Why he has not formally introduced this in the current Congress, CNAV will not speculate. To summarize, Mr. Sessions proposed that States conduct federal elections:

  1. In precincts which each have 1500 or fewer registered voters,

  2. With voting by mail available only to active-duty military and voters who show a health danger to self or others,

  3. With paper poll books that voters must sign, said signature constituting an affidavit of citizenship and non-intent to vote elsewhere,

  4. Making BMDs (that produce human-readable output) available only to the handicapped, and

  5. Counting all votes by hand, in front of a live-streaming Webcam, by counters trained in advance.

Rep. Sessions did not consider doing away with the Australian Ballot that requires repeated handling to count multiple races. Nor did he consider reforming the college vote, which today skews left. (Though that might not hold much longer! President Trump captured 46 percent of the 18-29 vote.)

That said, election integrity, and reforms leading to it, enjoy the best popular support they’ve ever had. That a State Secretary of State would allow a hand-count demonstration on government property is a significant step. Given Elon Musk’s findings at the Social Security Administration, this couldn’t come at a better time.

Roberts CJ in a judicial silent organization?

Two days ago, a free-lance investigative journalist on X released a long thread disclosing and explaining a shocking allegation. Apparently John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States, belongs to a judicial silent organization. But this is no ordinary silent organization. It consists entirely of judges (including one other Justice of the Supreme Court) and top-flight liberal or “equitarian” lawyers. This association creates an ideological conflict of interest for the Chief Justice. As such it casts doubt on the Court’s ability to function as the final arbiters of constitutional law.

The American Inns of Court

The American Inns of Court (AIC) take their name from the four London-based Inns of Court that date back to the Middle Ages. Every English or Welsh barrister, or trial advocate, must belong to one of these Inns:

  • Gray’s Inn,

  • Lincoln’s Inn,

  • The Inner Temple, and

  • The Middle Temple.

In addition, Northern Ireland has its own Inn of Court based in Belfast. (Apparently Scotland has no Inns of Court.) So the Inns of Court have a status equivalent to that of the American Bar Association.

The American Inns of Court are far different. They are completely voluntary, and membership is by invitation only. One of them – the Edward Bennett Williams (EBW) American Inn of Court – has recently requested that the general American Inns of Court organization strike its membership and other records from the general server farm. But that does not mean that the EBW Inn no longer meets! It does – and that their information is not even available at the general AIC site, makes them a silent organization. A silent organization is an invitation-only club that presumes to set policy for other institutions or agencies its members serve. Part of being a silent organization is to keep its membership list under very close guard.

Edward Bennett Williams, the namesake, was a founding partner of Williams and Connolly, a high-profile, elite – and Democratic – law firm.

On Thursday (March 20), X journalist Bad Kitty Unleashed released information linking Chief Justice Roberts to the EBW AIC.

John Roberts linked to EBW

This top post of the fifteen-post thread is in long form and serves as a good summary:

🔥🔥🔥Breaking exposé! FIVE anti Trump judges are involved in a secretive, INVITE ONLY club for judges and lawyers called the American Inns of Court. Even the membership and meetings are secret. But somehow the DOJ has shown up at meetings. At least since Biden had been in office.
Is hobnobbing with the DOJ in court matters acceptable? Let alone meeting in secret?
So who all is linked to this selective and secretive club? And recall all of their negative Trump rulings?
- Judge James Boasberg (President)
- Scotus Ketanji Brown Jackson (Vice President)
- Judge Amit Mehta (Secretary and a meeting held at her court.)
- Judge Beryl Howell
Justice (Professionalism Award)
-Justice John Roberts (Honorary Bencher of the Middle Temple)
Wasn’t it something else that Judge John Roberts broke ethical conduct and stuck up for his, “brother Boasberg”?
George Soros has funded a fellowship at Middle Temple where John Roberts is a master of the bench.
First let me very quickly explain how this secret society called, the American Inns of Court came about. In the UK, they have the four Inns of Court that dates back hundreds of years. One of those is called Middle Temple (see Roberts photo). Well, the US created the American version of this in recent decades. There’s a massive list of branches.
The branch many of our judges belong to is The Edward Bennett Williams (EBW) Inn of Court. It’s so secretive, they deleted most signs of this branch from their website although they still met.
Now here’s Judge Beryl Howell. She was nominated by President Judge Boasberg, and VP Ketanji Brown Jackson approved of her nomination. Boasberg claims it was her work on Jan 6 that contributed to his choosing her for the American Inns Of Court Professionalism award.
Let me show you the scant meeting info that I found which included the DOJ and Inspector General Horowitz in attendance.
1. The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court: BOP Custody / Current Status of BOP / Early Release & Reentry: Washington DC, 2/15/24
“Joel Sickler – invited panelist at EBW Inn of Court (February15, 2024, Washington DC). The meeting held in the District of Columbia Court of Judge Amit Mehta. In addition to panelists, approximately 150 lawyers including several Federal District Judges were also present. The panel was presented primarily with Michael Horowitz, DOJ Inspector General and Seth Eichenholtz, Deputy Assistant Attorney General – also featuring Vanessa Rojas, a returning citizen with direct and learned perspective regarding constructive reforms within the Bureau of Prisons.”
Also there was:
“Seth Rosenthal, Chief Deputy Attorney General for Office of AG District of Columbia.”
2. Mathew Bester, 3 years ago in a quote Linkdn post:
“I really enjoyed talking about the latest DOJ developments last week on a great panel.”
Matthew was reposting Brent Gurney’s Post and yes the DOJ was there:
“I want to thank my co-hosts, Erin K. of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Lisa Phelan of Morrison & Foerster LLP, Inn member G. Zachary Terwilliger of Vinson & Elkins and our guest panelists Jim Fredricks of the DOJ Antitrust Division, Tiffany Rider of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP and Matthew Bester of Accenture, for a robust and fascinating discussion of the issues.”
3. Yearly gala, I’ll review this later. But the Assistant United States Attorney at U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia replied in a comment. Was he there?
“Great job, Rebecca!”
I’ve seen lawsuits online for this secret org over recusal worries with this private club. I also saw a lawsuit that stated their secrecy is dangerous to democracy.
Sources to follow.

Bad Kitty Unleashed (BKU) shows that the EBW Inn of Court has a very sensitive membership. Organs like The Gateway Pundit make much of the affiliation of John Roberts with this organization. But BKU exposes more than that. Biden DOJ prosecutors, including ranking officers and key United States Attorneys and some of their assistants, were members.

BKU’s insights from her investigations, in order of mention, follow:

No trace of the EBW Inn of Court Inn ID 30072) remains on the American Inns of Court website. What links she has, come from the Wayback Machine or the new Archive Today service. Both feature the Officers listing for the EBW Inn of Court.

Membership in the EBW Inn of Court is by invitation only – and the invitations went out to current and former Federal prosecutors.

In 2017 one Linda Shao requested multiple recusals of Supreme Court Justices who had memberships in other American Inns of Court chapters. That list included all eight Justices then serving, except one: Justice Neil Gorsuch. That petition went to the Wayback Machine. (The Court denied review and rehearing in that case.)

Judge Beryl Howell received her invitation into the EBW Inn of Court in 2023. Judge James “Turn Those Planes Around” Boasberg, then President of the EBW Inn, issued that invitation.

Specific information on Chief Justice Roberts

Chief Justice Roberts holds the rank of Master of the Bench, the highest in American Inns of Court. He got that after London’s Middle Temple Inn of Court also conferred that title on him. The Middle Temple also has a shady affiliation with the Open Society Foundation – a George Soros organization. In fact the Middle Temple paid an “amity visit” to the U.S. Institute of Peace, known for radical leftist politics. This last archive also lists Justice Neil Gorsuch as a “Master of the Bench.”

BKU found information on three meetings of the EBW Inn. The first, dated February 15, 2024, took place in the courtroom of Judge Amit Mehta. It was a panel of the Justice Advocacy Group, that included prominent DOJ attorneys – and Michael Horowitz, the DOJ IG. (See also this second archive of a LinkedIn post with further details of that meeting.)

The second apparently took place in 2022 or late 2021, according to this archive of a LinkedIn post. The third and last meeting on BKU’s list took place in 2024, probably in May. This LinkedIn post probably tells little that one can’t already find out.

Summary

The American Inns of Court organization tracks 350 chapters, including the EBW Inn of Court. BKU concerns herself primarily with the EBW Inn, which at least includes Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Both have been members of the EBW Inn for some time – and Jackson serves as its Vice-President! Judges James Boasberg, Amit Mehta, and Beryl Howell, all of the D.C. District Court, are all members. This alone compromises the impartiality of the Supreme Court as it hears any appeal from these three judges. More troubling still are the memberships of key Biden Administration Justice Department attorneys – and the current “holdover” Inspector General.

If President Donald J. Trump wanted to “clean house” at Justice, he had a perfectly good reason. But perhaps he needs to fire IG Horowitz, in addition to all the other Inspectors General he fired.

CNAV shares the position of BKU that:

the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court should be disbanded. And all DC justices barred from such activities.

CNAV also believes the House Judiciary Committee should investigate this matter immediately. Already Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) has filed Articles of Impeachment against Judge Boasberg. Partly in response to that, Chief Justice Roberts publicly rebuked President Trump and his allies. Their membership in the EBW Inn of Court presents an obvious conflict of interest. More to the point, the Judiciary Committee must investigate – comprehensively – whether the national judiciary is compromised, and to what extent. Perhaps a much larger round of judicial – and Justicial – impeachments is in order.

The JFK Files and what they tell us

Sixty-one years and three months ago, give or take a few days, an assassin killed President John F. Kennedy. Many policies of government changed abruptly with the immediate accession of his successor, Lyndon Baines Johnson. But more to the point, the conspiratorial theory of history gained currency then, as it never had before, not even after Mr. Robert Welch honored the memory of Capt. John Birch USA by founding the Society that bears his name. Now, about 80,000 pages of documents relating to the JFK assassination are available for public viewing. What they reveal, would likely have shocked even Mr. Welch – not because he would never have suspected it, but because he would never have expected the United States government to admit it.

The lightning speed of the 2025 JFK Files release

President Trump teased the release of the JFK Files on Monday (March 17).

🚨 President Trump announces that the JFK Files will be released tomorrow: “People have been waiting for decades for this.”

https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1901732366617362915

This, of course, is pursuant to Executive Order 14176, ordering the review and plans for release of all files pertaining to the assassinations of President Kennedy, his brother Robert (then Senator from New York), and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection has existed since 2017, with the first public release. Actually Congress passed the law creating this Collection in 1992. But until 2017, nothing was available for public viewing. The Collection saw four Releases before this year: 2017-2018, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The current Release 2025 is by far the largest.

Yesterday the Justice Department laid on a rushed review of tens of thousands of pages of documents. The exact reason for this review was never made clear. As The Gateway Pundit noted, many persons identified or otherwise involved in investigating the JFK assassination, are long since dead.

That review was supposed to continue until noon today. But within minutes of TGP’s article about the review, came word that the release was suddenly happening. Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, released a statement as a photograph in an X post:

President Donald J. Trump promised maximum transparency and a commitment to rebuild the trust of the American people in the Intelligence Community (IC) and federal agencies. Part of that promise was to fully release previously-classified records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
President Trump’s Executive Order 14176 stated, “the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of JFK is not consistent with the public interest and the release of these records is long overdue.” The President announced that these records should be released without redactions on Tuesday, March 18.
Upon receiving the President’s decision, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard immediately sent out a directive across the IC conveying his directive to provide all unredacted records within the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for immediate release.
Starting today, the records will be available to access either online at archives.gov/jfk, or in person, via hard copy or on analog media formats, accessible to the American people at National Archives at College Park, MD. Records that are currently only available for in-person viewing are being digitized and will be uploaded to the archives.gov/jfk repository in the coming days. DNI Gabbard will post updates on X (@DNIGabbard) and Truth Social (@DNITulsiGabbard) as the files are released. The files will also be available on the White House’s website.
This release consists of approximately 80,000 pages of previously-classified records that will be published with no redactions. Additional documents withheld under court seal or for grand jury secrecy, and records subject to section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, must be unsealed before release. NARA is working with the Department of Justice to expedite the unsealing of these records. Grand juries from many years ago have already seen them, so most of this information is already out, but regardless of this, this information will be immediately released upon the direction of the Court.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A second batch of documents came out this morning at about 8:30 a.m. EDT. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) confirmed that National Archives personnel are “scanning and uploading” these files “in real time.” She also called attention to a particular file of interest:

The file I am particularly interested is a CIA IG report from whistleblowers alleging that the CIA hid information from Congress ref JFK assassination as it implicated them (shortly after the assassination). We were given this as a tip and there is actually a document we are currently tracking down.

https://x.com/realannapaulina/status/1902150430723076331

What those files tell us

Platform X has been buzzing about these files since they first became available for download. The Gateway Pundit released this list of findings by “Internet sleuths” late last night.

These files tell us that the JFK assassination was likely a joint operation between the most secret elements of the CIA and the Soviet KGB. The KGB connection is through Department V, originally Department 13. Ian Fleming, in an afterward to his novel From Russia With Love, said this department originally had a more dire name. He called it SMERSH – an acronym for Smyert Shpionam – Death to Spies. Unfortunately for history, Fleming provided no documentation for his claims. Nor has any surfaced from examination of his notes after his death.

But everyone acknowledges what KGB Department 13/V specialized in: wet operations, or what the CIA calls black operations. These are operations so sensitive that no one dares admit to them – including political assassinations.

Lee Harvey Oswald, the suspect-in-chief in the JFK assassination, had a KGB handler named Valeriy Vladimorovich Kostikov. This officer may or may not have belonged to Department V.

https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1902149088407114083

The CIA connection

The best CIA connection is through the history of one John Garrett “Gary” Underhill, Jr. He had been an intelligence agent during World War II and was a small-arms expert. A memo dated 19 July 1967 listed him as “one of the [CIA]’s ‘un-people’ who perform special assignments.” That would be consistent with black ops. This memo further states that Underhill, on the day following the JFK assassination,

left Washington in a hurry. Late in the evening he showed up at the home of friends in New Jersey. He was very agitated. A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination, he confided, and he was afraid for his life and probably would have to leave the country. Less than six months later Underhill was found shot to death in his Washington apartment. The coroner ruled it suicide.

https://x.com/RyanAFournier/status/1902148597967098178

Mr. Underhill’s name has borne repeated mention, including by users asking Rep. Luna to investigate his involvement – and death.

Within days of the arrest of Oswald, one Jacob Leon Rubinstein, who went under the nom de guerre Jack Ruby, shot Oswald in the driveway of Dallas Police headquarters. Ruby said he did it because Oswald was a “rat,” and he, Ruby, “want[ed] the world to know that Jews have guts.”

https://x.com/JFGariepy/status/1902129913890795590

Shortly afterward, J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI, called for a public “report” to “stop conspiracy theories from spreading.” Hoover had a motive, still not specified, for having the American public believe Oswald acted alone. That last is nearly impossible to believe. For one thing, Oswald was a poor shot, and too temperamental for the KGB to consider him reliable.

https://x.com/RyanAFournier/status/1902147465182056579

For another, the Carcano M91/38 bolt-action rifle that police found at the scene, has a reputation as a “junker.”

Did the son of JFK die when he offended the wrong Senator?

This last might or might not be relevant. In 1999, JFK’s son, John Jr., wrote an angry letter to then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), calling him a traitor. Shortly thereafter, he, his wife, and his sister-in-law perished when their small plane ditched in the Atlantic off Martha’s Vineyard.

https://x.com/akafaceUS/status/1902165696001282166

Analysis

For decades after the JFK assassination, authorities insisted that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. But doubts always remained, particularly about that “junker” police found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. And also about grassy knolls and JFK’s head jerking backward when the third of three shots rang out. Likewise, few people believed that Jack Ruby was some kind of patriotic vigilante, no matter what he said. Shortly after his conviction, and before he could get a new trial, he died in custody, of terminal, metastatic cancer. How convenient.

The new files released thus far shed little additional light on Ruby’s motives. But they do suggest a new, and simple, theory. The CIA arranged for Kennedy’s death, with or without the cooperation of Department V of the KGB.

Apparently President Trump told Judge Andrew P. Napolitano that the evidence he (Trump) had reviewed, convinced him to withhold release of the files. Perhaps his four-year political exile, combined with attempts to railroad him into prison – then to kill him – changed his mind. He has no brief for the CIA – quite opposite, in fact. As to the KGB, Trump might soft-pedal that connection, not wishing to ruin his rapprochement with President Vladimir V. Putin of the Russian Federation. He needn’t worry. Anyone with sense knows the difference between the Russian Federation and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics!

Americans also know that Donald Trump is at total war with the Deep State. This release is his most telling blow yet.
