Satanic Pedophile Exposed by Headline USA Sentenced to 77 Years in Prison

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) In February 2024, Headline USA published a story about the heinous activities of a Satanic pedophile named Kyle Spitze, who was still a free man at the time. Some two-and-a-half years later, Spitze has been sentenced to 77 years in prison.

The Justice Department announced Spitze’s sentence Wednesday following a hearing that lasted over a day.

“Spitze is one of the original members of the nihilistic violent extremist groups ‘Harm Nation’ and ‘764,’ and was committed to bringing about the downfall of society through terrorism, specifically by targeting children and other vulnerable people and extorting them to engage in criminal sexual conduct, self-harm, and mass casualty events,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said in a press release.

“Today’s sentence of 77 years, the longest federal sentence ever imposed on a nihilistic violent extremist, sends a strong message that civil society will not tolerate such depravity.”

Headline USA first reported on Spitze in February 2024, before he had been arrested. This publication had received information that Kyle—who had recently achieved internet fame when a video of his mom’s boyfriend shooting him went viral—was involved in the Satanic pedophile cult “764.”

The DOJ’s June sentencing memorandum also details Spitze’s crimes, which were estimated to be committed against more than 30 female victims. Only 19 have been identified so far, while two of them have committed suicide, according to the DOJ.

“Both killed themselves after the defendant contacted them from jail. The final proof needed that they would never be rid of his evil. The raw vulnerability they must have felt knowing their terrorizer could reach them even from jail,” the DOJ’s memorandum says.

A week before his sentencing, the DOJ further revealed that Spitze started a “devil worship group” called “Colts Harmnation” while incarcerated at Blount County Jail.

There appears to have been at least two other inmates involved in Spitze’s group, one of them also a convicted pedophile, according to court records. The inmates were performing sexual acts on each other in an area in the jail known as the “cave.” Records say they were also cutting themselves with razor blades—just like what Spitze would have his underage female victims do.

Meanwhile, Spitze’s father, Michael Spitze—whom Headline USA interviewed for its original February 2024 article—is serving a 70 month sentence for tampering with some of his son’s victims.

Trump Signs Memorandum to Expand Space Travel

(Sarah Roderick-Fitch, The Center Square) President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum to expand space travel, with the goal of facilitating more than 1,000 launches and reentries “on American soil” each year by 2030.

The White House seeks to encourage American exceptionalism in its approach to space travel, beginning with an overhaul of what it describes as an “outdated” National Space Transportation policy to deliver “modernized access to space transportation services.”

The memorandum directs federal agencies to expand and accelerate the nation’s space transportation, underscoring its infrastructure and commercial capabilities.

In line with the president’s establishment of the U.S. Space Force during his first administration, the memorandum sets out to strengthen military readiness and economic dominance in space.

The memorandum supports the president’s plan to return Americans to the moon and, eventually, to send people to Mars, and directs the administrator of NASA to “facilitate commercial transportation to and from the moon.” It would also “facilitate commercial robotic access to Mars,” paving the way to “explore commercial avenues to send humans to and from Mars.”

In addition, the memorandum directs the secretaries of transportation and the interior to coordinate with the secretary of war and the administrator of NASA to identify new launch and reentry sites.

The administration argues the new directive would lower costs for space systems, while creating high-paying jobs in the aerospace sector.

In addition to benefits for space travel, the memorandum will improve navigation through “better positioning, navigation,” provide more accurate weather forecasts, aiding safer and more “predictable airline travel,” and improve satellite communications, including broadband internet.

The president’s memorandum paves the way for Trump’s aggressive plan to expand human space exploration, including the Artemis missions, which saw Americans return to the moon with the Artemis II mission, in which four Americans orbited the moon in April. The mission plans to return Americans to the surface of the moon when Artemis IV launches in 2028, followed by crewed missions aimed at sending Americans to Mars.

Trump is scheduled to visit Houston’s Johnson Space Center Friday, Aug. 28, to award the four Artemis II astronauts with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, NASA announced.

That DSA Leader Promoting Socialism on TV? He Lives in a $1.5 Million Home Paid for by Daddy

That DSA Leader Promoting Socialism on TV? He Lives in a $1.5 Million Home Paid for by Daddy

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) By now, anyone who follows cable news is likely familiar with Gustavo Gordillo, the co-chair of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. But viewers may not know that the self-described socialist lives in a Brooklyn townhouse now valued at $1.5 million, a home his wealthy parents bought for him.

Gordillo’s affluent upbringing is raising eyebrows as he makes the case for socialism on television and across social media.

As revealed by the New York Post, Gordillo’s parents purchased him a roughly $1 million, 2,000-square-foot townhouse in Brooklyn. The Post reported that they bought and renovated the property through a trust fund in 2019.

His father is the owner of Draftpros Inc., a company that the Post said “specializes in engineering and consulting services.”

Gordillo’s past creates a striking contrast to the pro-socialism activism he is advocating.

Gordillo also had the benefit of an elite, niche education, studying fine arts at Yale University, where the estimase annual cost of attendance is now roughly $94,000.

After graduating, Gordillo enrolled in an apprenticeship to become an electrician. But IBEW Local 3 told the Post that he was fired from the program in March 2026 for unexcused absences and failing to attend classes. Despite his dismissal, the outlet reported that Gordillo has continued to describe himself online as a “union electrician.”

Trump Administration Boosts Sanctions on Cuba

Trump Administration Boosts Sanctions on Cuba

(Ioannis Vlahos, Antiwar.com) The Trump administration is increasing sanctions on Cuba, in the form of new economic penalties for Cuban industries as well as expanding enforcement of laws that bar Americans who visit the island from dealings with government-owned or -affiliated businesses.

The penalties, which were announced Thursday by the Treasury and State Departments, are aimed at 10 state-owned mining, metal and construction companies along with the leadership of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, or ICAP. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the institute is responsible for sponsoring “a vast subversive network in the United States aimed at identifying, cultivating, and radicalizing” Americans. 

“Just days ago, the regime attempted to use Communist kingpin and despot Fidel Castro’s 100th birthday to reinvigorate this subversive network, ferrying a new brigade of international sympathizers to Havana to network with regime officials,” Rubio said in a statement.

“The Trump Administration will not stand by while a hostile foreign power seeks to exploit our freedoms — none of which are afforded to its people — by misleading and corrupting American citizens with lies, spy tradecraft, and other malfeasance as part of the regime’s raison d’être of exporting Marxism, racial resentment, and Communist violence across the world,” Rubio said.

Since the year began, the Trump administration has rapidly escalated pressure on Cuba, going so far as to threaten military action as well as increasing economic sanctions designed to cut off funding for the Cuban government. The oil blockade, which was implemented after the January raid in which the United States kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, has plunged the country into a humanitarian crisis.

Experts appointed by the United Nations’ Human Rights Council warned that Cuba risks becoming a “silent Gaza”, and said, “The humanitarian consequences are already unfolding into a full-blown crisis, threatening the rights to health, to life, to food and to development.” 

Cuba routinely denounces American sanctions, as well as the Cold War-era embargo that remains in place, and has accused the United States on multiple occasions of targeting a poor nation simply for ideological differences and its proximity to the mainland US.

Iryna Zarutska’s Family to Sue over Gruesome Charlotte Train Stabbing

Iryna Zarutska’s Family to Sue over Gruesome Charlotte Train Stabbing

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The family of Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian refugee who was stabbed to death on a Charlotte train last year, is reportedly planning to file a lawsuit over the matter.

“The attorney representing the family and estate of Iryna Zarutska is expected to soon file a civil lawsuit in connection with Zarutska’s death,” WBTV in Charlotte reported Wednesday.

Attorney Lauren Newton told the outlet the lawsuit will come around the one-year anniversary of Zarutska’s killing, which is on Saturday. A lawsuit had yet to be filed as of the writing of this article. It’s unclear what parties the lawsuit will target. A state auditor found earlier this month that the Charlotte Area Transit System should install turnstiles or gates at every light rail station to improve security.

Zarutska’s August 22, 2025, death shocked and horrified much of the country when the full video was finally released by this outlet on Sept. 9. The footage showed a homeless man, DeCarlos Brown, stabbing Zarutska in the neck before sauntering off—leaving her to blead out and die within seconds.

Brown was arrested shortly later and taken to the hospital with cuts on his own hand. He was charged with murder. He’s since been deemed  “incapable of proceeding” in the federal and state cases against him. The determination for Brown does not mean he’s being let out of custody. However, it may spare him from the death penalty.

Now, Brown is undergoing medical treatment in a federal facility to restore his competency, according to the Justice Department.

The DOJ has said Brown’s prognosis to become competent to proceed is “good.” But even if he can’t be restored to competency, he still wouldn’t be released. He’d be subject to civil commitment proceedings.

Brown was found incompetent to proceed because he has a mental illness. “He experiences delusions that center around his belief that he was exposed to a Material and it ‘control[s] his every movement,’” his attorneys said in a Thursday filing. “He refers to it as his Body Emergency. The delusions are constant and persistent.”

Brown also reportedly told his sister that he believes a government put a chip in his body that caused him to stab Zarutska.

Molotov Cocktail Suspect’s Release Questioned

Molotov Cocktail Suspect’s Release Questioned

(Jim Talamonti, The Center Square) Federal and state officials are questioning Illinois sanctuary policies after a Jordanian national charged with illegal possession of Molotov cocktails was released on electronic monitoring while he was unlawfully present in the United States.

Hamed Alsaidi, 31, was arrested in Mokena on August 1 and charged with eight counts of possessing an unregistered destructive device.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged a detainer with Will County the day Alsaidi was arrested, but county judge Theodore Jarz granted Alsaidi pretrial release the next day.

State Rep. Patrick Sheehan, R-Homer Glen, said local authorities are not allowed to coordinate with federal immigration law enforcement in Illinois.

“ICE actually had filed for the detainer, but due to the TRUST Act where courts and police aren’t allowed to coordinate, he was walking free for a few days,” Sheehan told The Center Square.

ICE took Alsaidi into custody two days after he was released.

“This criminal illegal alien was arrested after he was found to have EIGHT Molotov cocktails in his possession and gave a false name to officers. He now faces charges of unlawful possession of a weapon and obstructing identification,” a DHS spokesperson said.

Sheehan said Mokena police and Will County prosecutors did their job by asking the judge for Alsaidi’s detainment, but Illinois’ electronic monitoring system is broken.

“Just in Cook County alone, they have 300 on ankle monitors that are AWOL and there are some that charges include murder, so we as a General Assembly, this needs to be a top priority going into veto session, lame duck session and then the new General Assembly that gets sworn in,” Sheehan told The Center Square.

Sheehan said a search of Alsaidi’s backpack allegedly uncovered a handwritten map along with the eight Molotov cocktails.

“To have a map that included the Metra station and then mentioning the mosque, the Orland Park Prayer Center, I just think it was reckless by this judge to then release this person,” Sheehan said.

According to DHS, Alsaidi illegally entered the United States in March 2024 through California.

Jewish Leaders Sound Alarm Over DSA Questionnaire

Jewish Leaders Sound Alarm Over DSA Questionnaire

(Jim Talamonti, The Center Square) The Anti-Defamation League is sounding an alarm over the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America’s questionnaire for city council candidates.

ADL Midwest Senior Regional Director Rebecca Weininger told The Center Square the DSA questionnaire’s first two long-form questions are devoted to Israel instead of how candidates would help Chicago.

“That real estate, those questions are used to ensure that that person meets the litmus test of being against the right of Jews to self-determination in the land of Israel. That doesn’t help anybody’s lives in the Chicago area get better and in fact contributes to rising antisemitism,” Weininger said.

The questions asked candidates whether they are anti-Zionist and whether they support municipal-level boycott, divestment and sanctions.

Jay Tcath, executive vice president of the Jewish United Fund in Chicago, said the questionnaire is troubling.

“Why is Zionism the number-one topic on DSA minds? Why is only the Jewish desire for national sovereignty and independence being demonized by DSA?” Tcath told The Center Square.

Tcath said the mayor and city council members have plenty of local issues to focus on.

“DSA’s decision to continue to prop up the centrality of Jewish independence in a negative way has nothing to do with the challenges and opportunities confronting our city,” Tcath said.

Weininger said it is troubling that DSA-endorsed candidates are required to be anti-Zionist.

“So we know that within the ranks of the DSA nationally and what has been adopted by the Chicago DSA is that you are excluded if you are a Jew, right? That there is no place either in the DSA or as a candidate endorsed by the DSA if you are Jewish and you believe in Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state,” Weininger said.

Weininger said everybody who chooses to be identifiably Jewish in this moment in American history is putting themselves at some risk.

The Chicago Democratic Socialists of America provided The Center Square with a statement on Tuesday evening.

“Chicago DSA holds anti-Zionism as a core principle of our organizing, as we believe all people are deserving of peace and dignity, regardless of race, religion, or nationality. We are proud to support the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement,” the statement said.

Lindsay Clancy’s Defense Rests at Trial Over Whether Postpartum Psychosis Drove Her to Kill Her Kids

Lindsay Clancy’s Defense Rests at Trial Over Whether Postpartum Psychosis Drove Her to Kill Her Kids

(Headline USA) The defense rested its case Friday in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial after eliciting several days of testimony about her mental state before and after she strangled her three young children.

Prosecutors then began calling rebuttal witnesses in the trial, which is likely entering its final days. Closing arguments are expected next week.

Clancy, 36, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the deaths of her children Callan, Dawson and Cora Clancy, who ranged from 8 months to 5 years old. They were found in the basement of the family’s home in coastal Duxbury, Massachusetts. Clancy jumped from a second-story window after strangling the children and remains paralyzed from the waist down.

Prosecutors argue that Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, planned the killings.

Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, hasn’t disputed that she killed the children but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she had postpartum psychosis, a rare mental illness linked to the stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes that follow childbirth.

He sought to bolster that defense by having the jury hear from more of Clancy’s family members, who detailed her worsening mental health and attempts to fix it through psychiatric treatment and medications before the January 2023 killings. The jury also heard from a psychologist and a hospital chaplain who met with Clancy after the killings.

For his final witness on Friday, Reddington called Dr. Phillip Resnick, a forensic psychiatrist and expert in filicide, or the killing of a child by a parent.

Resnick testified that Clancy was “clearly psychotic” on the day she killed her children and was not in control of her actions.

“It was almost like she was a puppet and someone else was pulling the strings,” said Resnick, who testified for the defense in the 2006 trial of Andrea Yates, the Texas mother who drowned her five children in 2001.

Resnick said he spent hours interviewing Clancy four months after the killings and believed she tended to minimize rather than exaggerate her symptoms. He said she suffered from severe depression, showed evidence consistent with bipolar disorder and reported hearing a voice commanding her to kill her children.

Resnick described several categories of filicide, including killings involving abuse. Others involve psychosis or what he calls “altruistic” filicide — a killing committed “out of love rather than hostility.” He said he found Clancy’s case involved both of the latter categories, but he didn’t find evidence of abuse.

Resnick said Clancy had a delusional belief that if social services took the children or if she killed herself, her children would suffer without her, and believed that they would be better off dying with her and going to heaven.

“She believed that she was doing what was right for her children,” he said.

Under cross-examination by prosecutor Jennifer Sprague, Resnick acknowledged that Clancy did not disclose thoughts of harming her children to medical providers who asked, but said that was “very common because people fear their children will be taken away.”

“So it’s better to kill them than have them taken away?” Sprague asked.

The judge struck the question.

Prosecutors argue that Clancy contrived to get her husband out of the house the day of the killings. They have attempted to show that while she was getting treatment for anxiety, insomnia and depression, she wasn’t suffering from psychosis or bipolar disorder.

After the defense rested, prosecutors called forensic psychiatrist Dr. Avram Mack as a rebuttal witness. Mack agreed that Clancy suffered from a major depressive episode but said he found no evidence of mania or hypomania to support a bipolar diagnosis — or of psychosis — leading up to the killings.

Mack said Clancy recounted the killings to him, saying she heard a loud male voice telling her to kill the children so she could kill herself. She recalled strangling the children and saying “go to God” as she did so, he told jurors.

Mack said Clancy was experiencing severe mental illness when she killed her children but that it was a continuation of the depression she had experienced for months in which she was able to control impulses and distinguish right from wrong.

He also said, “There’s no reason that psychosis in and of itself inhibits a person’s ability to know right from wrong.”

2 US Army Corps of Engineers Workers Among 8 Killed in Small Plane Crash in Alaska Near Radar Site

2 US Army Corps of Engineers Workers Among 8 Killed in Small Plane Crash in Alaska Near Radar Site

(Headline USA) Two U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employees were among eight people killed when a small plane crashed in foggy weather near a remote military radar site on the southwestern coast of Alaska.

The two pilots and six passengers who died in the crash around midday Thursday were not immediately identified. The twin-engine Cessna 441 had taken off from Anchorage and was headed for the Cape Newenham Long Range Radar Site Airport about 450 miles (725 kilometers) west.

The radar site was built in the 1950s as part of a network designed to provide early warning of a missile attack by the Soviet Union. Today, it monitors the skies off the coast in the direction of Russia, North Korea and China.

The site has a gravel airstrip built on the slope of a mountain. The Federal Aviation Administration recommends that pilots use GPS and other instruments when they land there.

Those on board were “dedicated professionals carrying out a vital mission in a demanding environment,” U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Robert Davis, commander of Alaskan Command, the Alaskan North American Aerospace Defense Command Region and Eleventh Air Force, said in a statement.

“This is a devastating loss for our military family and the communities we serve,” Davis said.

Weather conditions were changing Thursday as heavy fog rolled through the area. An automated observation system not far from the airport reported a low cloud ceiling, fog and visibility of about 10 miles (16 kilometers) in the minutes before the crash, but the next update about 15 minutes after the crash showed visibility reduced dramatically to less than one-quarter mile (0.40 kilometer), according to Carrie Haisley, the meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service’s Alaska sector operations center.

The airport is a private military site managed by the Pacific Air Forces Regional Support Center. It’s part of a network of remote radar sites that tracks aircraft operating in Alaska’s airspace and along its borders, the statement from Alaskan Command said.

The outpost at Cape Newenham closed in 1983 after a new radar was installed, and now the site is visited only occasionally by civilian contractors who perform maintenance on the system.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said the two employees who died were part of a “project delivery team en route to a project site in support of the U.S. Air Force.” The statement did not provide additional details about the work.

National Transportation Safety Board investigators were traveling to the scene Friday.

Investigators will want to know whether the pilots declared an emergency or whether the plane simply went missing before the crash, as well as the weather conditions at the time, said Mike O’Donnell, who oversaw airport safety programs and accident investigations for much of his 17 years at FAA.

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska posted online that the flight was operated by Security Aviation, an airplane charter company based in Anchorage.

The company did not immediately respond Friday to an email seeking comment.

“I join Alaskans in offering condolences as we learn of the plane crash in Cape Newenham,” Murkowski posted Thursday night. “I’ve traveled extensively with Security Aviation throughout Alaska, and have met many of their experienced pilots.”

Ex-Abercrombie & Fitch CEO is Mentally Fit for Sex Trafficking Trial, Judge Says

Ex-Abercrombie & Fitch CEO is Mentally Fit for Sex Trafficking Trial, Judge Says

(Headline USA) The former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch is mentally competent to stand trial as he faces sex trafficking charges after being hospitalized for months for dementia and Alzheimer’s symptoms, a federal judge ruled.

U.S. District Court Judge Nusrat Choudhury, in her Thursday decision, concluded that Michael Jeffries “clearly possesses a rational and factual understanding of the proceedings” and is a “reasonably intelligent person and skilled communicator” following his stay at a federal prison hospital in Butner, North Carolina.

The federal judge on Long Island, New York, said she reviewed testimony and written reports from medical experts and listened to hours of phone calls Jeffries made to his romantic partner, lawyers and others while in custody.

“His presentation and responses in evaluations following his commitment to Butner and his phone calls show that he understands the structure of the criminal legal system, courtroom procedures, the functions of the various participants, the nature and purpose of the proceedings, and key legal concepts,” Choudhury wrote.

Jeffries’ lawyer declined to comment.

“We do not comment on the Judge’s rulings,” Brian Bieber wrote in an email. “The case, and all related issues, will be tried inside the courtroom – not in the media.”

Jeffries, 82, is currently free on bond. He’s slated to go on trial in late October, alongside two co-defendants, his partner Matthew Smith and staffer James Jacobson. A pretrial hearing is slated for next Thursday.

Jeffries’ lawyers had argued that he required around-the-clock care to deal with the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia and a traumatic brain injury. They had medical experts testify in court that Jeffries’ cognitive issues were “progressive and incurable” and that he would not “regain his competency.”

That prompted Choudhury to order Jeffries to be hospitalized to see if his mental condition would improve. After spending about four months at Butner, federal prison officials in December deemed Jeffries mentally fit to stand trial.

Jeffries, Smith and Jacobson have pleaded not guilty to federal charges, including sex trafficking and interstate prostitution.

Prosecutors say the three used the promise of modeling jobs to lure men to drug-fueled sex parties in New York City, the Hamptons and other locations. The criminal case echoes sexual misconduct accusations made in a civil case and in the media in recent years.

Jeffries left Abercrombie in 2014 after more than two decades. He’s credited with transforming the New York retailer, originally founded to sell wilderness gear, into a mainstay of teen mall culture in the early 2000s with its preppy youth aesthetic and sexy marketing.
