Why Did the DOJ Hire a Neo-Nazi Linked to the OKC Bombing?

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) In the early 1990s, Brian P. Haughton was playing music in a neo-Nazi punk band with at least one member of the Aryan Republican Army—a gang of white supremacist bank robbers who used the proceeds of their crimes to fund domestic terrorism, possibly including the Oklahoma City bombing.

After a career as a Philadelphia police officer, Haughton was hired by the Justice Department several years ago to track domestic terrorism threats through its Regional Information Sharing Systems program, or RISS. Headline USA understands that Haughton was still working for the department at least as of last November.

Haughton’s employment through the DOJ was first reported in November 2021 by The Progressive Magazine. The left-leaning publication suggested that Haughton’s hiring at the DOJ was due to his “white privilege.”

But Haughton’s government position could also stem from him spying on the early-90s neo-Nazi movement, according to Frank Meeink—a former neo-Nazi who now works on deradicalizing people from the movement, and whose life story helped inspire actor Edward Norton’s character in the hit film, American History X.

If that’s the case, Haughton would have been spying on neo-Nazis involved with the deadliest domestic terrorism attack in American history, the OKC bombing.

Meeink, who knew Haughton when they were both in the neo-Nazi movement, told Headline USA that he “heard through the grapevine” that Haughton may have been working for law enforcement in an undercover capacity in the early 90s—which would explain how he was hired as a police officer around that same time.

“We’ve heard through the grapevine that he was undercover even back then. That does go to the fact that: Why would they support him? Because he was a major part of one of the leading neo-Nazi bands in America. So were they propping him up even then?” Meeink asked.

Meeink added that he believes Haughton may have provided information about the ARA bank robbers to law enforcement. The FBI arrested the ARA members in early 1996.

“I believe he did inform on the ARA, but I think [the FBI] already had enough to get them, and that Brian probably helped a little bit,” he said.

“Either way, it’s either corrupt or stupidity on the country’s part. Because if he was undercover, he helped propagate white supremacist beliefs in a major way, which led to so other major stuff.”

Meeink said another anomaly about Haughton’s career is the fact that the Philadelphia Police Department kept him as an officer, even after media reports began circulating in the 90s about the department’s employment of neo-Nazis. Meeink said several neo-Nazis were purged from the department, but not Haughton—though that could have been because he had family members working in the department who protected him.

“[Philadelphia purged its racist cops] because they knew defense attorneys would eventually find this information, and anytime a neo-Nazi was involved in the arrest of a black person or anything like that, the defense attorney is going to tear them up on the witness stand,” Meeink explained.

“But they kept Brian on because his dad was involved in the Fraternal Order of Police. When a lot of the shit started coming out, they took him off the streets and let him train at the academy.”

Haughton’s unexplained employment with the DOJ adds yet another layer to the wider conspiracy surrounding the ARA and the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing.

As Headline USA has extensively reported, federal law enforcement had foreknowledge of the OKC bombing: ATF informant Carol Howe warned her handlers in early 1995 that neo-Nazis were planning the attack from Elohim City, a Christian Identity compound in eastern Oklahoma.

Evidence also suggests that the OKC bombing may have been a failed sting operation. According to FBI informant-turned-whistleblower John Matthews, the bureau was aware of some of OKC bomber Timothy McVeigh’s movements beforehand. Former FBI official Danny Coulson has also revealed that the bureau knew McVeigh visited Elohim City, where some of the ARA bank robbers were staying at the time.

Additionally, criminologist Mark Hamm tracked the ARA and McVeigh’s movements throughout 1994 and 1995, finding that the bomber was often in Arizona, Kansas and Oklahoma at the same time as other ARA members.

“It is highly improbable—if not statistically impossible—for nine men with such violent predispositions and such deep connections within the white power movement … to randomly come together at the same time in the same geographical area,” Hamm concluded, referring to McVeigh, his accomplice Terry Nichols and the ARA.

Even more shocking is that Utah attorney Jesse Trentadue obtained an email from former FBI agent Don Jarrett—who investigated right-wing terrorism in the 1990s—saying that the ARA was thoroughly infiltrated by FBI informants.

All of that raises the question: Was Haughton a part of that failed sting operation that was targeting McVeigh?

FBI records do show that the bureau’s Philadelphia office had at least one informant monitoring the ARA for possible links to the bombing—though that informant was operating in 1996, which was after Haughton was already a sworn police officer.

One of the ARA members, Kevin McCarthy, was also allegedly having FBI intel leaked to him through his uncle, who was a police officer with connections to the bureau.

However, the DOJ didn’t respond to numerous emails from Headline USA about the matter. The DOJ today, of course, is headed by Merrick Garland, who helped prosecute McVeigh and continues to insist that the bomber acted alone on April 19, 1995.

Haughton couldn’t be reached for comment. Haughton’s former neo-Nazi bandmate and ARA bank robber Scott Stedeford didn’t respond to a letter seeking comment.

Despite acknowledging the possibility that Haughton was an undercover informant in the early 90s, Meeink said he doesn’t think that’s why he was hired by the DOJ some 25 years later. Rather, he said he thinks Haughton was hired during the Trump era to track Muslin and left-wing terrorists.

“The Trump administration wanted to allocate more money to [countering] Muslim extremists than the right wing. I feel they were bringing people aboard who were sympathetic towards right-wing extremists,” said Meeink, who also said he doesn’t believe that the ARA bank robberies were used to fund McVeigh.

“Why would they put him at a hub gathering intel on domestic terrorists? They were hiring him to go against Antifa.”

Schwarzenegger Suddenly Goes MAGA after Labeling Trump a ‘Nazi’

Schwarzenegger Suddenly Goes MAGA after Labeling Trump a ‘Nazi’

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) After years of slamming middle-American Republicans who voted for former President Donald Trump, Hollywood actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared to take a hard-right pivot recently, slamming Democrats for threatening to “f**k up” American cities, Breitbart reported.

Schwarzenegger made the statement in a recent appearance on fellow actor Robe Lowe’s podcast, Literally.

During the discussion, Lowe brought up California Republican Congressman David Dreier, who left office in 2013.

According to Lowe, Dreier once said that the Republican party was characterized by “in no particular order, strong military, low taxes, less government, more personal freedoms.”

Schwarzenegger added  that “strong law enforcement” was another priority.

“I always ask Democrats what it means to be a Democrat in that way, and I think, whatever anybody would say…” Lowe began, as Schwarzenegger chimed in with his idea of what it means to be a Democrat.

“Ruin your cities,” said the RINO governor.

“… That’s what the Democrats would say: ‘We are about ruining the cities. We want to f*** up every city in America,'” he continued. “That seems to be the theme right now.”

Lowe, taken aback, followed up by asking Schwarzenegger why he thought that might be the case.

“I have no idea,” he replied.

Yet, some conservatives may argue that the Kindergarten Cop star deserves some share of the blame for offering aid and comfort to the enemy as Trump and others tried to fight back against the onslaught of radical leftist policies and corruption.

For instance, Schwarzenegger spent months after the infamous Jan. 6 uprising at the U.S. Capitol posturing about how similar that day was to the early stages of Nazi Germany and calling Trump a “threat to democracy.”

He also has expressed staunchly left-wing views on abortion, climate change and COVID mandates—not even to mention his vehemently anti-Christian zeal.

When asked last summer about what happens to a man after he dies, Schwarzenegger became hysterical.

“Nothing,” he insisted. “You’re 6 feet under. Anyone that tells you something else is a f**king liar.”

More recently, the Austria-born Schwarzenegger, whose father was a literal Nazi, went out of his way to slam the U.S. Constitution for prohibiting people who were born in foreign countries from being eligible for the U.S. presidency.

America Last: Biden Seeks Military Aid for Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel

America Last: Biden Seeks Military Aid for Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) When Hamas launched its surprised attack against Israel on Saturday, it wasn’t long before online pundits were predicting that potential war in the Middle East spells the end of U.S. support for Ukraine’s war against Russia.

And sure enough, White House spokesperson John Kirby said Wednesday that the end for Ukraine aid is near.

“We’re coming here to the end of the rope. Today we announced $200 million, and we’ll keep that aid going as long as we can,” he said. “But it’s not going to be indefinite.”

However, at least for now the Biden administration reportedly looks to support both Ukraine and Israel—as well as Taiwain. The Washington Post first reported on Monday that the White House planned to link aid for the three countries in an effort to “jam the far right”—forcing MAGA Republicans to choose between fiscal responsibility and supporting ostensible allies.

Kirby told reporters “active conversations” are going on to aid all three countries.

“I’m not prepared to detail those conversations for you right now or, or tell you what the parameters are going to be, because, frankly, those parameters haven’t been yet arrived at or even decided upon, but we are in active discussions about additional funding,” he reportedly said.

Some Republicans have expressed opposition to the plan. But they’re more opposed to its form than its substance.

“I support both, but I think it’d be a mistake to bundle the two,” said Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., according to POLITICO. “But it sounds like the administration wants to put the two together. I think that’d be a mistake.”

Antiwar.com editor Dave DeCamp said the size of the supplemental package President Biden will request is unclear.

“He previously asked for an additional $24 billion to fund the Ukraine war, but it was never approved by Congress,” DeCamp wrote Thursday. “The administration has been discussing the idea of a full-year spending package for Ukraine that could be as large as $100 billion, an idea popular among hawks in the Senate.”

The House needs to appoint a speaker before it can consider Biden’s aid package.

Leftist ‘Victim’ Josh Kruger Allegedly Raped, Drugged & Blackmailed His Teen Killer

Leftist ‘Victim’ Josh Kruger Allegedly Raped, Drugged & Blackmailed His Teen Killer

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Josh Kruger, a gay reporter from Philadelphia, was reportedly killed by his 19-year-old lover, Robert Davis, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported on Wednesday.

The Kruger family has brought to light disturbing allegations, claiming that Kruger had threatened to release sexually explicit photos of Davis online, leading to a deadly confrontation.

Moreover, the family alleges that Kruger had drugged Davis, and their relationship had started when Davis was just 15 years old, with Kruger being 35 at the time.

“It’s tragic what happened,” Damica Davis, the 19-year-old’s mother told the Inquirer. “But I feel like my son is a victim in this, as well.” 

A law enforcement official confirmed the existence of unsettling images on Kruger’s cellphone, which have now been sent to the Special Victim Unit for further analysis. 

The tragic series of events unfolded when Kruger was found dead outside his Philadelphia residence, following either a break-in or the admission of an unknown individual into his home. Subsequently, the police identified Davis as a suspect, but he remains at large. 

Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore commented on the ongoing investigation, stating, “I think he could answer a lot of questions if he comes into custody and surrenders,” Vanore said. “It might help us put all this together.”

Damica Davis revealed that her son reached out to her shortly after the police raided their home in search of him. She recounted, “He was scared. He said ‘… He wanted me to do some stuff I didn’t want to do and if I didn’t do it,’ he said, ‘He was going to blackmail me.’” 

Family members were shocked to learn that Davis had been receiving expensive gifts and designer clothing, all allegedly from Kruger. 

At the time, the 19-year-old told family members he was dating a “white woman” who worked for the government. 

When the name “Josh” appeared on Davis’s phone, he claimed it was the woman’s gay brother. 

Damica Davis expressed her family’s confusion, stating, “We’ve only had pieces of everything,” Damica Davis added. “We could never put the pieces together, and now everything is coming out and we see what’s going on.” 

Kruger had worked with the city government from 2015 to 2020, specifically in the Office of Homeless Services. His death has sparked discussions on social media, as he had previously downplayed the rising violent crime rates in Philadelphia. 

Israel Is Now Being Attacked by Hezbollah

Israel Is Now Being Attacked by Hezbollah

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) It was reported that the armed drones of Hezbollah had invaded Israel from the north in Lebanon, creating a multi-front war for the Jewish state.

Numerous alerts have been triggered in the northern regions of Israel, on-ground reports indicated.

The Israeli Defense Forces [IDF] haven’t yet confirmed the number of invaders or the extent of the invasion itself, Trending Politics reported.

It was also discovered through the emerging reports that, in response to this escalation, the American government announced the immediate evacuation of its embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, but the embassy has rejected those claims.

The U.S. State Department urged all American citizens in Lebanon to remain cautious but indicated that the embassy is not being evacuated, as it was indicated in a statement that was released moments after the embassy’s claims.

Due to the presence of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel’s northern front historically has been a point of contention. Trending Politics reported that the current invasion will mark a significant shift in the Israel-Hamas war in the Middle East.

In the early 1980s, during the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon, Hezbollah emerged with the backing of Iran as a proxy to destroy Israel. As a result, Hezbollah was able to develop both a political arm and a military wing over the years.

Politically, Hezbollah represents a significant portion of the Lebanese Shiite community and holds seats in the Lebanese parliament. In addition to that, the organization has a well-trained and equipped military force, which has been involved in various conflicts both within and outside Lebanon.

Among the military conflicts with Israel were the Lebanese Civil War, the South Lebanon conflict [1985–2000] and the 2006 Lebanon War. The group also launched rocket attacks into Israel, conducted raids and engaged in tunneling activities along the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Hezbollah or its military wing has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Canada, the European Union, the Arab League and several other countries.

In 2007, Soros Wrote, ‘America and Israel Must Open the Door to Hamas’

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A 2007 op-ed by leftist billionaire George Soros resurfaced, in which he called on America and Israel to “open the door[s]” to Hamas.

After Hamas terrorist attacks that resulted in at least 1,200 people in Israel being killed with another 2,700 wounded, a disturbing March 19, 2007, piece titled “America and Israel Must Open the Door to Hamas,” started looking even more despicable in retrospect.

Soros’s op-ed was published amid the bloody 2006-2007 Fatah-Hamas conflict, according to MRC News Busters. The carnage of the Battle of Gaza that happened in June 2007 resulted in a complete Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip and the dissolution of the unity government by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Al-Shabaka, a radical pro-Hamas group that celebrated the genocidal terrorist attacks on Israel, was funded with $550,000 by Soros between 2017 and 2021 alone.

In its statement, Al-Shabaka stated that “breaching” the “boundaries” “expands the Palestinian imaginary for possibilities of both resistance and collective freedom.”

“George Soros has consistently and continuously funded the most hateful, anti-American and anti-freedom organizations in the world, and that includes terrorist organizations that want to bring an end to a Jewish state. But instead of shining a light on his disgusting plans, legacy media has protected him from criticism.” MRC Business Vice President Dan Schneider said.

In his op-ed, Soros accused former President George W. Bush’s administration of “supporting the Israeli government in its refusal to recognize a Palestinian unity government that includes Hamas.”

He also added that Israel not trying to find a compromise with a murderous terrorist group precluded “any progress towards a peace settlement at a time when such progress could help avert conflagration in the greater Middle East.”

However, aside from the news about the recent massacre, Hamas also previously indicated that it doesn’t want to compromise with the Jews.

“Ever since Hamas was ‘elected’ to run Gaza, and then followed the usual ‘one election/one time’ Middle-East formula, it has bragged nonstop that its agenda was to erase Israel off the face of the earth,” historian Victor Davis Hanson wrote.

On Oct. 7, 2023, Toronto Sun Editor Emeritus Lorrie Goldstein also added that “Hamas doesn’t want peace. It wants Israel,” adding that Hamas has “never wanted peace with what it calls ‘the Zionist Entity.’”

Even Hamas’s founding charter from 1988 indicated that it wants the eradication of Israel.

“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it,” the charter wrote.

More Hamas Horrors Confirmed in Photos, Eyewitness Accounts
WARNING: THIS ARTICLE FEATURES GRAPHIC FOOTAGE THAT SOME READERS MAY FIND UPSETTING.

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Disturbing photos and eyewitness testimony have provided harrowing confirmation of the heinous acts carried out by Hamas terrorists in the southern region of Israel. 

The details are shocking and heart-wrenching: from reported mass rapes to the beheadings of innocent children.

The terrorist onslaught began when Hamas terrorists parachuted into a music festival near the southern Gaza border. In a senseless act of violence, these Hamas insurgents indiscriminately opened fire on the unsuspecting attendees.

Raz Cohen, a young Israeli who attended the festival, described the horrifying events to PBS on Wednesday. “I don’t think that the words can even explain how it was terrifying,” he recalled.

Cohen managed to survive by hiding in a creek for several hours. During this time, he witnessed the disturbing rapes.

“The terrorists, people from Gaza, raped girls. And after they raped them, they killed them, murdered them with knives, or the opposite, killed — and after they raped, they — they did that,” he added. 

Even President Joe Biden expressed his shock and concern when confronted with the disturbing photographs he surveyed. 

“I have been doing this a long time. I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading children,” Biden lamented.

Biden had a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the same day, during which Netanyahu described the horrors faced by the Israeli community 

“Hundreds of people were slaughtered, entire families were murdered in their beds and homes, women were brutally raped and murdered; More than a hundred were kidnapped, including children,” Netanyahu recounted. 

Evidence of the devastating aftermath of the attacks is prevalent in photos shared by Fox News Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst. These images depict burnt houses, a blood-stained patio and the bodies of Hamas terrorists who likely perished by Israeli forces after their brutal onslaught.

Amid Unfathomable Horror, Kamala’s Hubby Finds Worst Reason to Thank God

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff addressed a gathering of Jewish community leaders at the White House on Wednesday, awkwardly praising President Joe Biden.

In the wake of the horrific terrorist attacks by Hamas in Israel, Emhoff offered his condolences to the parents of American victims but gave them a reason to thank God: Biden and Kamala Harris.

“The entire Jewish Community is hurting,” Emhoff said. “I’m hurting. We agree with you and we stand with you but thank God, we have the steady leadership of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during this unthinkable time in our history.” 

Emhoff, who is Jewish himself, praised what he described as the “moral compass” and “empathy” of Biden and his wife.

“We saw that yesterday when President Biden with Vice President Harris and Secretary [Antony] Blinken by his side powerfully addressed the nation and made clear to the world that Israel has the United States’ unwavering support,” he added. 

“Our president and vice president are making sure Israel has what it needs to defend itself. We are grateful for their leadership and support for Israel at this exceptionally difficult time,” he concluded.

Biden and Emhoff were accompanied by some of Biden’s senior advisers, some of whom are of Jewish descent, the Hill reported on Wednesday. 

Biden had earlier expressed his support for Israel during a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the nation responds to brutal attacks by Hamas.  

Over 1,200 Israeli citizens, including Americans, have lost their lives, and approximately 150 individuals remain hostage. 

“It’s heart-wrenching,” Biden said on Oct. 9. “These families have been torn apart by inexcusable hatred and violence. We also know that American citizens still remain unaccounted for, and we are working with Israeli officials to obtain more information as to their whereabouts.” 

Hamas Founder Calls for Muslims to Rise Up on Friday the 13th

Hamas Founder Calls for Muslims to Rise Up on Friday the 13th

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The founder of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, issued Tuesday a disturbing call for Muslims across the Middle East to rebel in the wake of a brutal terrorist attack against Israel.  

Meshaal, who served as the chief of Hamas from 2004 until 2017, made this shocking demand from his office in Qatar.

“[We must] head to the squares and streets of the Arab and Islamic world on Friday,” Meshaal told Reuters. “Tribes of Jordan, sons of Jordan, brothers and sisters of Jordan… This is a moment of truth and the borders are close to you, you all know your responsibility.” 

He went on to say, “To all scholars who teach jihad … to all who teach and learn, this is a moment for the application [of jihad].”

This call to action follows the Oct. 7 barbaric onslaught by Hamas against Israel, which resulted in the tragic loss of over 1,200 lives, including several Americans. According to witnesses, women were raped and some children were reportedly subjected to beheadings. 

Initial reports suggest that Hamas terrorists could be holding between 100 and 150 hostages in Gaza.  

Earlier in the week, Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, made similar remarks, promising to extend the war to the West Bank and to Palestinians across the region. 

“This is the battle of not only the Palestinians or the Gazans, it is the battle of all the Arab and Muslim nations,” he said in a video, adding, “Simply for the reason that it is a battle for Palestine, it is a battle for Jerusalem.”

In response to these provocations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Hamas, likening the group to ISIS. 

“We will crush and eliminate him as the world crushed and eliminated ISIS,” he said on Tuesday.

Netanyahu revealed that he had spoken to President Joe Biden, describing their conversation as supportive. In his conversation with Biden, the Israeli Prime Minister painted a grim picture of the savage terrorist attacks.

“I told President Biden: ‘‘We were attacked on Saturday with such barbarism that has not been seen since the Holocaust,” Netanyahu added. “Hundreds of people were slaughtered, entire families were murdered in their beds and homes, women were brutally raped and murdered; More than a hundred were kidnapped, including children.’”

 

Wash. Post Firing 240 Employees, Expected to Lose $100M This Year

Wash. Post Firing 240 Employees, Expected to Lose $100M This Year

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) It was reported that the Washington Post fired 240 employees because regular people don’t want to read propaganda anymore.

The higher-ups at the Post explained firing all of these employees by saying that they hoped to avert “more difficult actions such as layoffs — a situation we are united in trying to avoid,” according to the Post Millennial.

An email that the Post employees received stated that the employees would be attending a 10 a.m. meeting on Oct. 11, 2023, to discuss the action.

“Following this meeting, all eligible employees will be notified by email if their position is included in the program, and they are welcome to consider the package. Senior leaders will then share department-specific information in meetings to follow throughout the day,” the email said.

The program that was referenced by the Post is a “voluntary separation package” that will be offered to employees to reduce 240 positions “across all functions of the Post.”

“This program will offer generous incentives to employees in specific roles where we believe we can reduce costs if work can be assigned more effectively, where positions do not need to be replaced or where we can otherwise achieve cost savings through a voluntary reduction in our workforce,” the email said.

Employees in specific areas or with specific titles will be offered the package.

In addition to that, the person who sent the email also wrote in the email that over the last eight weeks one has “been working with the senior leadership team to review the current state of our business and financial results.”

“We have determined that our prior projections for traffic, subscriptions and advertising growth for the past two years — and into 2024 — have been overly optimistic and we are working to find ways to return our business to a healthier place in the coming year,” the email said.

The publication was expected to lose around $100 million in 2023. The Post has struggled to increase paying subscribers since 2020, which peaked at 3 million. As of Oct. 11, 2023, the outlet had around 2.5 million.

As a result of that, the outlet announced earlier this year that it laid off 20 newsroom employees and would keep an additional 30 vacant roles unfilled.
