CIA Security Officer Files Lawsuit Against Steve Baker And The Blaze For Identifying Her As J6 Bomber

CIA Security Officer Files Lawsuit Against Steve Baker And The Blaze For Identifying Her As J6 Bomber

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by ‘sundance’ via The Last Refuge, Steve Baker and The Blaze are being sued by former Capitol Hill police officer Shauni Kerkoff, who Baker accused of being the J6 pipe bomber based on “gait” analysis and other dubious claims. Mr Baker, a former FBI employee named Kyle Seraphin and Kentucky representative Thomas Massie also pushed the accusation, saying FBI Director Kash and other FBI officials were lying and an innocent guy was arrested. The arrested suspect, Brian J. Cole, Jr., confessed to the crimes. Yesterday, Shauni Kerkoff, who now works for the CIA security office, filed a lawsuit against Steve Baker and The Blaze, claiming Steve Baker was motivated by anger over his arrest for activity in the J6 event where Ms. Kerkoff was present providing security. According to the lawsuit, Steve Baker and The Blaze created a conspiracy theory using Shauni Kerkoff as the target of their claims. This is going to be an interesting lawsuit to watch unfold as there are various types of conspiracy claims similar to Mr Baker that are circulating.  If their claim …

America’s new stealth bomber takes to the skies

America’s new stealth bomber takes to the skies

Published by Sam Flores

An American stealth bomber capable of launching nuclear attacks on anywhere in the world has taken to the skies. The B-21 Raider, which is worth almost $700m (£516m), has been pictured for the first time. The images of air-to-air refuelling tests are a rare glimpse of an aircraft still undergoing trials. Expected to enter service next year, the B-21 will be the world’s most advanced stealth bomber and will take over from the B-2, which has been in service for almost 30 years. Photographs released by the US air force show the B-21 Raider soaring over mountains in an undisclosed location followed by a KC-135 Stratotanker. The B-21 Raider will be the world’s most advanced stealth bomber when it enters service with the US air force – US Air Force/Reuters Aerial in-flight refuelling is critical in a potential conflict, enabling the fleet to dramatically extend its reach, as has been shown with US air strikes on Iran. In order to refuel mid-air, a tanker will fly ahead of an aircraft while deploying a fuel boom …

RAF jets scrambled as Russia bomber spotted close to UK | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

RAF jets were scrambled after a Russian warplane was spotted close to the UK. British fighter jets were on alert on Tuesday after a suspected Russian long-range bomber approached UK airspace. Two Typhoons from RAF Lossiemouth, in Scotland, and a Voyager refuelling jet from RAF Brize Norton, in Oxfordshire, flew towards Shetland after an unidentified Russian warplane was detected. However, it remained outside of British airspace and did not need to be intercepted. The Typhoons later returned to base after the threat was stood down. It comes as Vladimir Putin continues to threaten the UK. Over the last few weeks, Russian warships, spy ships and submarines have been detected close to Britain. Defence Secretary John Healey confirmed three Russian submarines carried out a “covert” operation over cables and pipelines in waters north of the UK last week. HMS St Albans, fuel tanker RFA Tidespring and anti-submarine Merlin helicopters were deployed following the activity by Moscow. Mr Healey said he was “confident” no cables had been damaged. However, he said two Russian vessels spent time over …

How a patient stepped out for a vape and foiled a suicide bomber at Leeds hospital | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

Nathan Newby stepped outside a hospital for a vape and some fresh air on a winter night – but ended up talking down a suicide bomber after a simple act of kindness. This “extraordinary, ordinary man”, as a judge called him, is today being honoured with a George Medal, the UK’s second-highest civilian award for bravery. He spotted Mohammad Farooq looking upset and agitated outside St James’s Hospital in Leeds on 20 January 2023. He was there to commit mass murder at the entrance to the maternity wing, killing nurses and potentially patients too. “[He] seemed like he might want a chat or had some bad news, so I went over and asked how it were. And it just went from there really,” says Mr Newby. Farooq, a trainee nurse at the hospital, had a pressure cooker packed with 10kg of gunpowder in a bag and hoped to kill nurses by luring them outside with a bomb threat.

Massive US B52 bomber ‘declares emergency over UK’ as it circled near Southampton | UK | News

Massive US B52 bomber ‘declares emergency over UK’ as it circled near Southampton | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

A huge US Air Force bomber has reportedly declared an in-flight emergency while travelling over England’s south coast today. The B-52H Stratofortress was observed circling at approximately 10,000 feet just east of Southampton when the crew transmitted a Squawk 7700 code, which is the international signal for a general emergency, before beginning a steady descent, AirLive.net reported. The B-52 is part of a Bomber Task Force (BTF) currently based at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which is used by the US Air Force as a main forward base in Europe. It is understood these signals are related to a depressurisation issue. The aircraft is now returning to its primary deployment hub at RAF Fairford. RAF Fairford is often used for NATO exercises and long-range missions across Europe and Africa. It also has one of the longest runways in the UK – strong enough to support large aircraft like the B-52. Last week, ministers have agreed to let the US use British bases to strike Iranian sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz. PM Keir Starmer previously granted …

I’m Sick of Parka Weather. Just Let Me Wear a Bomber Jacket Already

I’m Sick of Parka Weather. Just Let Me Wear a Bomber Jacket Already

Published by Jenni Sidey

The wardrobe of emoji clothes is severely lacking. There are eight pairs of shoes, two shirts, two pairs of pants, four bags, three sunglasses, two hats, and one coat. I admire a minimalist closet and the virtues of a personal uniform, but this capsule wardrobe is trash. Emoji Me is pitifully swagless. I’m not sure how to make formal requests to the Unicode Consortium, but if I had to choose one piece of outerwear for my wardrobe as an emoji or in IRL, it would absolutely not be a trench coat. It would be a bomber jacket. Buck Mason Soft Sage Flight Nylon LZ Bomber Bomber jackets were introduced during World War I and were originally made for airforce pilots. They were crafted out of thick sheepskin to withstand freezing temperatures. The bomber’s iconic design with its boxy and cropped silhouette was meant to allow for range of motion within the confines of a tight cockpit. As the military-to-menswear pipeline goes, the bomber jacket became popular beyond the air base. Average citizens mined surplus stores …

Jameela Jamil Clarifies Blake Lively ‘Suicide Bomber’ Comment in Texts

Published by Daniella Wilson

Jameela Jamil is further speaking out after unsealed court documents in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal battle revealed text messages in which she referred to Lively as a “suicide bomber” and “villain.” In the unsealed texts, Jamil was messaging Jennifer Abel, a publicist who represented both Jamil and Baldoni. In the private text exchange from August 2024 between Jamil and Abel, the pair were responding to a TikTok video that criticized Lively’s remarks during the It Ends With Us press tour as not being serious enough, given that the film centered on domestic abuse. Jamil texted about Lively, “She’s a suicide bomber at this point.” Jamil also texted, “I’ve never seen such a bizarre villain act before.” When initially speaking out about her comments, Jamil took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday to share a video in which she clarified her belief that being a feminist does not preclude someone from having personal differences with other women. But now the actress is addressing the messages further. When discussing it, she never addressed Lively or Baldoni by name …
