Leading to a former service member’s suicide, an investigation by the U.S. Department of Veterans (VA) Office of Inspector General (OIG) that began in 2023 revealed “mismanaged mental health care” as a contributing factor to his death.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Shannon McDaniel, the proud mother of a U.S. Marine who, tragically, took his own life in 2022. She described her son as “always wanting to be a Marine” and “always wanting to serve his country.” And that’s exactly what Hunter Whitley was once excited to do as a Marine Corps infantryman.

In early 2021, Whitley was deployed to the Middle East. According to McDaniel, “He was happy to be part of something big, [seizing the opportunity] to help [the Afghan] people.” However, she admitted, “it wasn’t what he was expecting.”

“[Hunter] didn’t talk to me a lot about what all happened while he was over there, but some of what I heard was terrible,” McDaniel shared.

And on August 26, 2021, what was terrible would soon become unbearable. A suicide bombing rocked the Kabul airport, killing 13 American service members and roughly 170 Afghan civilians. “He was very close to that,” she said.

After the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, Whitley returned to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. “I could tell something was different about him,” McDaniel offered. “We noticed a lot of drinking in early 2022.” While concerned about his well-being, she was also pleased to see him take steps to continue his education at the University of Alabama.

“In Tuscaloosa,” she said, “he went to a VA hospital [in August 2022] and screened positive for a traumatic brain injury (TBI).” The following month, he would have his first mental health appointment. “The VA failed to schedule the consultation after he screened positive, [and] they should’ve done that eval before putting him on meds.”

“On September 16, Hunter saw a mental health nurse practitioner who prescribed mirtazapine and hydroxyzine,” McDaniel said, adding that “there would not be a follow up until four months later.” The nurse practitioner prescribed two months of medication with a refill for two additional months of medication. “Hunter was gone by the time she would’ve followed up with him four months later,” she lamented.

While the drugs are used to treat depression and anxiety, there are potential adverse effects to mental health to consider. Take, for example, mirtazapine, which can cause thoughts of suicide.

“While there’s a box waring for suicide in young adults,” McDaniel said, “no one discussed the medication with Hunter.” Scheduled for an appointment at the local PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) clinic on November 7, 2022, he had the chance to express his battle with suicidal thoughts, but the services rendered were inadequate.

Sadly, on the night of November 12, 2022, with an elevated level of alcohol in his system, Whitley took his life with a gunshot to the head.

McDaniel was “crushed” and “broken,” mourning the death of her son. As each day passed without him, she began to question the treatment he had received from the VA Tuscaloosa Healthcare System. “[Near the end of 2022], she said, “I had tried to contact the nurse practitioner that had prescribed the medication, but she would never get back to me.” she shared. And for the grieving mom, “That was a red flag.”

In confidence, she was approached by someone at the clinic. To her astonishment, she was told, “Tuscaloosa VA dropped the ball with Hunter, but they didn’t know who, and they didn’t give me any details.”

After finally receiving Whitley’s medical records in March 2023, McDaniel developed further suspicions. Why was he prescribed the medications he was taking? Why was his suicide screening nothing more than a five-point questionnaire?

She pressed for an investigation.

Months later, in November 2023, she was informed that the VA OIG would investigate the circumstances surrounding Whitley’s care. And in September 2024, a 53-page report was published.

Francesca Graham, who also spoke to The Gateway Pundit, is a retired Army intelligence officer and senior jumpmaster, serves as the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Advisor for the Walk the Talk Foundation (WTTF). In this role, she helps clients navigate their own military whistleblower complaints. She also helps draft legislation to fix the Defense Department and Coast Guard’s administrative punishment system.

According to her, “The reason why that VA OIG report even exists is because Shannon [McDaniel] made a complaint to the VA, and tragically, Hunter’s recent suicide was a compelling enough reason for the VA OIG to conduct an investigation.”

“How many whistleblowers have come forward and raised the alarm – including, allegedly, at the Tuscaloosa VA prior to Hunter’s death, but were ignored because their story was not so compelling—that is, until someone dies?” Graham asked.

Proving McDaniel’s intuitions were correct about her son, the report determined that the VA Tuscaloosa Healthcare System had “mismanaged” his mental health care. In summary, the report revealed:

Upon reading the multiple examples of neglect and disregard uncovered in the report, McDaniel was utterly shocked, adding that “It was like losing Hunter all over again.” While the OIG offered recommendations for improvement, none of this would have been made public had she not pushed for an investigation into Hunter’s experience.

For this reason, she said, it still begs serious questions: How many more people is the VA doing this to? How many more people are being hurt by the loss of a loved one? And how many are too ashamed to speak up for losing veteran to suicide?

Graham agreed, questioning that “while the IG came back and said, yes, there are all these problems, but has anything really changed?” In her experience, IGs are “toothless” and “reliant on the integrity of the leadership they just inspected and likely criticized to correct faults—a fraught proposition.”

McDaniel and her family continue to raise awareness on the issue. To prevent stories like this from happening again, the Hunter Whitley Butterly Initiative was launched in 2023. Through the initiative, she and others advocate for support systems that help transition service members to civilian life.

Better evaluations for mental health, adherence to Veterans Health Administration (VHA) standards and recommendations, and the ability to receive community care are all good places to start, she said.

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump Administration from revoking the legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants flown in on Joe Biden’s parole program.

US District Judge Indira Talwani said the DHS did not interpret the law properly and asserted the migrants have a right to be in the US.

The DOJ argued that the parole programs were discretionary and it is up to the government to decide when it can cut the program.

Last month is was reported that President Trump was set to strip the status of 532,000 migrants living in the United States who were flown in on Joe Biden’s parole program.

Recall that Joe Biden brought in more than a half a million migrants Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela on his CHNV program.

CBP data found that over 1 million illegal aliens have been allowed into the US through what the Biden Regime defined as “legal” means.” The Biden-Kamala admin used the CBP One App and the CHNV program to allow illegals entry into the US.

These numbers are not included in the millions of illegals that have entered the US under Joe Biden’s watch.

It was previously reported that 81% of the Haitian migrants from Biden’s parole program – 362,000 out of 448,000 – were flown into red states.

Earlier this year it was reported that one of the Haitians who entered the US on Biden’s parole program was charged with triple murder, including two children.

President Trump is revoking the migrants’ legal status and telling them if they don’t self deport they will be arrested.

Fox News reported:
A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from revoking temporary legal status for hundreds of thousands of Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Cubans and Haitians who were initially granted parole.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said on Thursday the Department of Homeland Security incorrectly read the law when it made a decision to end a two-year parole given to them by the Biden administration.

Talwani, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, said the revocation of temporary legal status would open up around 450,000 individuals to an expedited deportation process.

“What you’re prioritizing is not people coming over the border but the people who followed the rules,” Talwani said.

John Solomon from Just the News discussed this release on Real America’s Voice on Thursday.

Solomon discussed the latest DOJ release – 700 pages of unredacted Crossfire Hurricane documents.

And infamous FBI operative and crackhead Stefan Halper is featured prominently.

John Solomon: You’re going to get it here first because you’re Real America’s Voice fans, and you watch Just The News.

Earlier today, the FBI under Kash Patel turned over to Congress 700 pages of Crossfire Hurricane documents unredacted and declassified.

Just the News reported:

These are the documents President Trump intended to be released in January 2021, but the FBI scooped them up, kept them from going to public release. We sued, tried to fight for them.

Donald Trump came back in the office, and he released them a second time. Today, they got to Congress, and then they ended up in the hands of Just the News. In just an hour, you’re going to see our first story…

…Perhaps the most important thing in the documents that we found early on. Two informants that were used by the FBI to spy or to snitch on Donald Trump and his campaign was named Stefan Halper. He’s not the most famous. Christopher Steele, the guy that wrote the dossier, he’s the most famous. But Stefan Halper was used quite a bit by the FBI. In fact, he was used for three decades by the FBI, and it turns out, snitching is a pretty lucrative profession. He got paid nearly $1. 2 million by the FBI to be a confidential human source from from the early 1990s to 2017.

The last of those payments, $70,000 for his work, stitching on the Trump campaign and the Crossfire Hurricane early investigation. Now, what are we going to tell you about it? It turns out that he got that money and he kept being used by the FBI, and he kept being validated as reliable, even though the FBI detected he had given them an inaccurate, false, or disprovable story.

What is it? He’s the guy that told the FBI that Mike Flynn, soon to be Donald Trump’s National Security Security Advisor in the fall of 2016, back in 2014, had left a conference, an overseas conference, while he was a three-star general and the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, alone with a Russian woman.

The woman, Svetlana Lokhova later sued Halper for defamation.

In February 2021, Joe Hoft at The Gateway Pundit reported that Stefan Halper was hired by the FBI to set up and take down Donald Trump. His intel was a complete lie but the FBI ran with it anyway.

The late February 2021 documents involved one of the FBI’s spies hired to set up and discredit members of the Trump team in 2016.  The Conservative Treehouse noted:

The FBI documents outline how Stefan Halper was enlisted by the FBI for their operation to target the campaign of Donald Trump in 2016. Halper agreed to become a confidential human source (CHS) or spy for the FBI, and record contacts with several members of the Trump campaign in order to frame the Russian collusion narrative.

Despite secret recordings showing Carter Page clearly had no idea about any Russian connections to the campaign, or people within it; and despite Page clearly rebuking any effort to draw those inferences; the FBI still went forward with a Title-1 FISA surveillance warrant against Page and never informed the court of the exculpatory recordings.

The documents were released by John Solomon at Just the News at the time.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: FBI Utilized Crack Addict Stefan Halper As ITS KEY SOURCE to Spy Illegally on Trump Team in Its Attempted Coup of the President – Wow!

The FBI knew this guy was a crackhead.

Look what we have here…

Deep state “spy” Stefan Halper had an addiction to crack cocaine.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested 21-year-old Guatemalan national Ander Cortez-Mendez—an illegal alien and convicted child rapist—after Fairfax County authorities released him despite a federal detainer request.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) announced that they apprehended Cortez-Mendez on April 2 in Falls Church, Virginia, nearly two weeks after the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center refused to cooperate with federal immigration officials and released him back into the community.

Cortez-Mendez first crossed illegally into the United States near Rio Grande Valley, Texas, in February 2018, where he was immediately flagged by U.S. Border Patrol and issued a notice to appear before a federal immigration judge. Years later, in March 2024, he was arrested again—this time by Fairfax County police for alleged sex crimes involving a minor.

ICE promptly lodged a detainer request with Fairfax County on March 18, but local officials—under sanctuary policies pushed by far-left Democrats—chose to release him instead of turning him over to federal authorities.

On May 20, 2024, the Fairfax County Circuit Court found Cortez-Mendez guilty of having sexual intercourse with a child. Shockingly, the court handed him a mere three-month sentence—and suspended it entirely, allowing this predator to walk free once again.

“Ander Cortez-Mendez is a convicted sex offender, and exactly the type of illegal alien that ICE officers seek to remove from Washington, D.C. and Virginia,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Washington, D.C. Field Office Director Russell Hott.

“We refuse to allow such offenders to continue to threaten the residents of our neighborhoods. ICE Washington, D.C. and our law enforcement partners will continue to arrest and remove criminal aliens from the streets of our communities.”

Since he can’t perform in the fixing of his own kingdom’s problems, UK’s Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer has to milk the Ukraine crisis to the best of his abilities, going as far now as floating a plan for sending British troops to Ukraine for five years.

There’s so much wrong with his plan, so let’s just start with two points: first, as POLITICO reported today, Ukraine allies hold talks to secure a non-existent peace. They have seemingly advanced plans for a non-event.

Second, and most importantly, Russia will not accept EU troops as peace-keeper or any other capacity. So British troops would be fair targets in a high-intensity war.

So, in the end, it may all be posturing, as US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff stated to Tucker Carlson: “I think it’s a combination of a posture and a pose and a combination of also being simplistic. There is this sort of notion that we have all got to be like Winston Churchill.”

The Telegraph reported:

“Military chiefs want the deployment to help train and reconstitute the Ukrainian army to prevent Vladimir Putin from mounting another invasion.

A scheme for a phased withdrawal was raised in the discussions being led by Britain and France over a ‘coalition of the willing’ to uphold any post-conflict peace agreement.”

The European force would be used ‘to deter Russia from breaching any settlement and to offer Kiev’s men some much-needed respite.’

‘Do the math’ with me, here: a 10,000-15,000 peace-keeping force will keep 600,000+ battle-hardened Russian troops in check?

“But the main aim of the deployment would be to immediately start helping to train and rebuild Ukraine’s armed forces to deter another Russian attack. They would later withdraw in stages with final troops to leave around the five-year mark.”

These grandiose plans come at a point when UK’s finances are in a dire state, with public debt hovering near 100% of GDP, leading Labour in the 2024 budget to raise taxes to fund public services.

Ukraine deployment would require £1-2 billion yearly for a modest force – not to count the political cost if servicemen and women start returning home in body bags.

UK’s Army currently has 74,000 regulars, the smallest size in over 200 years. Its recruitment effort come up 15% short 2024.

With aging tanks and limited air defense systems, it does not sound like a 5,000-strong force that will excel in the brutal conditions of the war in Ukraine.

There are those who say that a 5,000-troop deployment ‘would require allied support and years of prep.’

Many of us still remember that, in January 2024, outgoing Chief of the General Staff General Sir Patrick Sanders warned that the UK ‘lacks capacity for a major war’, urging a “citizen army” to counter threats like Russia. ‘An increase in reservists alone would not be enough—we need a whole-of-society approach to prepare’.

Dr. Rob Johnson, MoD Ex-director of war readiness official told the Financial Times that the British army would ‘rapidly’ exhaust ammunition in large-scale combat, and that ‘shortages in ships and aircraft’ would limit broader capabilities. ‘In any larger-scale operation, we would run out of ammunition rapidly’.

This July, General Sir Richard Barrons, former Joint Forces commander stated that the military operates at a ‘bare minimum’, unfit for significant conflict or homeland defense against missile threats. ‘Right now, our Armed Forces are not up to the job’.

This article originally appeared on White Collar Fraud and was republished with permission.

Letitia James, New York’s Attorney General, has built her career on exposing deception. But a quiet real estate transaction in Norfolk, Virginia—carried out just weeks before the Trump fraud trial she championed—now raises serious questions about her own compliance with New York law.

A declaration buried in legal filings states her intent to make a Virginia house her principal residence:

“I HEREBY DECLARE that I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.”

Those words appear in black and white in a Specific Power of Attorney, signed by James and filed in Norfolk on August 17, 2023, authorizing her relative Shamice Thompson-Hairston to act on her behalf in a transaction that included the declaration. They were not written by a lawyer acting on James’ behalf. They were her words. Her intent. Her signature.

This signed power of attorney is a smoking gun on its own, completely separate from how the mortgage might be interpreted. It stands as a clear declaration of intent from a sitting New York Attorney General to establish principal residency in another state.

While joint ownership arrangements sometimes involve owners with different primary residences, this case is different. The declaration in the power of attorney specifically states James’s intention to make the property her principal residence, and the mortgage requires both borrowers to establish residency. This raises questions about whether such a declaration was made primarily to secure preferential mortgage terms.

Importantly, this is not an isolated incident—discrepancies in James’s mortgage filings appear to follow a longer-term pattern, raising broader questions about disclosure consistency.

If James never intended to make the Norfolk property her principal residence despite signing a document explicitly stating that intention, the declaration may constitute misrepresentation under federal fraud statutes. This would be particularly problematic for someone who has prosecuted others for similar misrepresentations in property matters.

And this declaration came at a remarkable moment. Because on October 2—less than seven weeks later—James would take to the courtroom steps in Manhattan to announce the start of her landmark civil fraud case against Donald Trump. The trial would span months and dominate headlines. James would be in New York nearly every day.

The Facts

The Virginia property at 604 Sterling Street was purchased for $240,000 with a $219,780 mortgage. The deed lists James and Thompson-Hairston as co-owners in “joint tenancy with right of survivorship as at common law,” meaning both have equal ownership rights. The property is a 1,450 square foot single-family home with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, built in 1947.

The transaction was completed on August 30, 2023, with Thompson-Hairston signing the mortgage documents both for herself and as attorney-in-fact for James. What makes this transaction particularly troubling is that the mortgage documents require both borrowers to make the property their principal residence within 60 days (by approximately October 30, 2023) and maintain it for at least one year—placing the occupancy deadline squarely during the Trump trial.

This creates a direct conflict with James’ duties as New York Attorney General, where she maintained an active public presence throughout this period. The timing could not be more problematic—at the very moment she declared her intent to establish Virginia residency, she was preparing for her most high-profile case in New York.

The Legal Requirements

This isn’t simply a matter of having multiple homes. New York Public Officers Law § 3(1) is unambiguous: “No person shall be capable of holding a civil office who shall not… have resided in this state” for the required period. The State Constitution Article XIII, Section 13(a) specifically requires the Attorney General to be “a resident of the state for five years immediately preceding election.”

Furthermore, Public Officers Law § 30(1)(d) mandates that an office becomes vacant when the officeholder ceases “to be an inhabitant of the state.”

The consequences under New York law are immediate and severe: when an officeholder moves outside the required jurisdiction, they can no longer legally hold their position.

“When an officeholder removes his residence from the territorial limits required by statute, the office is rendered vacant.”

If James declared Virginia as her principal residence—which the power of attorney clearly shows was her intention—she may have triggered an automatic vacancy in the office of Attorney General under New York law—potentially invalidating her authority during the very period she was prosecuting her highest-profile case.

Financial Considerations

Beyond the legal implications, there are also financial questions surrounding this transaction. Standard mortgage requirements for owner-occupied properties, such as those documented in federal housing forms, typically offer substantially lower interest rates than investment properties—often 0.5-0.75 percentage points less, translating to thousands in savings on a $219,780 mortgage.

The financial motivation behind claiming a property as a primary residence is significant—and raises troubling questions about whether this declaration was made for financial benefit rather than reflecting actual living arrangements.

Disclosure Questions

The pattern of questionable documentation extends to James’ official disclosures. Her 2023 Financial Disclosure Statement includes an earlier Virginia property, 3121 Perrone Avenue, Norfolk from 2020, but nothing about the Sterling Street transaction. There is no reference to the Sterling Street property or the $219,780 mortgage in the 2023 FDS, despite its joint ownership and recent purchase date.

According to New York ethics guidelines, jointly owned real estate may be exempt from disclosure only if it is used solely as a primary or secondary residence and does not generate income. If the Sterling Street property is being rented or used as an investment, the omission could constitute a violation of public officers law.

The question becomes: How many undisclosed properties exist, and why the apparent effort to keep them off official records?

Why It Matters

The Attorney General holds a unique position of public trust. James won a $350 million verdict against Trump for misrepresentations in property valuations. The central claim in that case—that Trump misrepresented property values and usage for financial gain—bears a troubling similarity to the questions now surrounding James’s own real estate declarations.

These questions take on even greater weight considering James has already registered a campaign committee—James for NY 2026 – Attorney General (ID 308810)—and filed campaign finance disclosures as early as July 17, 2023 (before signing the power of attorney), with the most recent filed on January 15, 2025 (after signing the power of attorney). This demonstrates her clear intention to seek re-election both before and after declaring her intent to make Virginia her principal residence.

Under the New York State Constitution, candidates for Attorney General must have been residents of New York for five consecutive years immediately preceding the election. If James’s sworn declaration in 2023 reflected a change in domicile to Virginia, even temporarily, it could jeopardize her eligibility to run again in 2026.

Four key questions remain unanswered:

1. Why did James explicitly declare her intent to make Virginia her principal residence while serving as New York’s Attorney General?
2. Did she fulfill the 60-day occupancy requirement in her mortgage while simultaneously appearing in New York courts?
3. Can she document continued New York residency during this period sufficient to maintain her legal authority as Attorney General?
4. Will this affect her eligibility to run for re-election, which requires uninterrupted New York residency?

The evidence is unequivocal. The signature is there. The declaration is clear. The legal requirements are unambiguous. The people of New York, who depend on their Attorney General to uphold the highest standards of transparency and compliance, deserve an explanation. Is New York’s top watchdog playing by the same rules she enforces?

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Thursday that he is working with Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut the waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid. 

“We think we’re going to be able to identify it and eliminate it while, incidentally, protecting the Medicaid—while protecting the Medicaid program and improving services to our poorest Americans,” RFK Jr. told Fox’s Martha MacCallum on Thursday following a high-stakes Cabinet meeting.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, during the meeting, Kennedy announced that the federal government will identify the root cause of America’s spiraling autism crisis by September, following an unprecedented research initiative ordered by President Donald Trump.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. Says by September We Will Know What Causes Autism Epidemic in the US

He later revealed to MaCaullum, “We have DOGE working with us, and they’ve been really extraordinary about finding fraud in all of the agencies.”

This comes as Democrats and Republicans spar over the budget resolution that passed in the House earlier Thursday. Democrats in the House accused Republicans of trying to cut Medicaid benefits, which House Speaker Mike Johnson says is a “lie,” pointing to the roughly $50 billion lost each year to Medicaid fraud.

Last week, it was revealed by a DOGE official that illegal aliens and even violent illegal aliens are accessing government benefits like Medicaid and also voting.

“We found in the benefit programs that every benefit program that was being accessed by these people, DOGE executive and founder of Valor Equity Partners, Antonio Gracias, said. “1.3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today.”

Elon Musk previously blasted the media and Democrats’ fear-mongering over Medicaid cuts under President Trump after he revealed the massive fraud in Social Security and Medicaid received by illegal aliens. “DOGE will make sure you get your Medicaid. There will be no cuts to legitimate payments whatsoever,” Musk declared while speaking in Wisconsin ahead of the Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

Similarly, Kennedy said cutting the waste, fraud, and abuse will actually protect and improve Medicaid while saving the American tax dollars.

WATCH:

MaCaullum: You oversee the Medicaid program. Do you think—they’re looking for $880 billion in savings over 10 years. The fraud number is somewhere between 30 and $50 billion a year. Do you think that they can cut that money out of Medicaid, and is it something you support, those cuts?

RFK: I certainly support any cut of waste, or misuse, or fraud, and we’re in a very good position now to identify that and to eliminate it because we have DOGE working with us, and they’ve been really extraordinary about finding fraud in all of the agencies. And, you know, they’re being very helpful with us. So, we think we’re going to be able to identify it and eliminate it while, incidentally, protecting the Medicaid—while protecting the Medicaid program and improving services to our poorest Americans.

CALL TO ACTION, CALL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE – KILL BILL HR 2085

Congressman Mike Kelly—the lawmaker blocking access to critical documents about the Butler assassination attempt—must not be allowed to advance a bill that ignores glaring conflicts of interest in behavioral health linked to the Butler, PA assassination attempt of President Trump. KILL THE BILL: HR 2085

Key Connections Being Hidden:

• Crooks’ Parents & Behavioral Health Influence: Investigative documents withheld by Kelly’s office may reveal ties between Thomas Crooks’ parents (behavioral health “experts”) and entities like Genesis HealthCare, which employed Crooks at its Bethel Park facility.
• Genesis HealthCare’s Reach: A major behavioral health and nursing home provider, Genesis has subsidiaries spanning 19 states and investors linked to behavioral health tech firms.

Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP represented Genesis in these matters. What is stunning about the law firm that rescued Bethel Skilled Nursing home from Department of Justice inquiries was that Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP is deeply entrenched in the psychiatric drug sector.

The firm has extensive ties to pharmaceutical companies. In fact, the firm handled one of the largest psychotropic drug settlements in United States history in 2017, M.B. v. Tidball, on behalf of a group of nonprofits that the firm also just happens to represent.

The results of this insider settlement by vested stakeholders, psychotropic drugging continues to skyrocket. Big Pharma and the Behavioral Health Industrial Complex was able to walk away from any accountability without losing access to children in State care.

• AGR Building Investors: The AGR Building is reportedly tied to stakeholders in behavioral health technology—a sector incentivized by bills like H.R. 2085, which lacks ethical guardrails.

Roper Technologies retains a 49% minority stake in Indicor, the industrial company that owns the AGR Building in Butler, PA, through its subsidiary AGR International.

Simultaneously, Roper is aggressively expanding into behavioral health with its pending $1.65 billion acquisition of CentralReach, a leading provider of cloud-based software for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy serving autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD).

CentralReach is projected to generate $175 million in revenue and $75 million in EBITDA for the fiscal year ending June 2026, reflecting Roper’s focus on high-growth, tech-enabled healthcare solutions.

The acquisition, expected to close by April/May 2025, will operate under Roper’s Application Software segment, distinct from its industrial holdings in Indicor.

H.R. 2085’s Critical Flaws:

• Zero Human Rights Protections: The bill funnels tax credits into behavioral health research but fails to address risks of neurotechnology misuse, non-consensual cognitive implants, or data exploitation, as well as psychotropic drug adverse reactions suicide and violence.
• Distraction from Transparency: While Kelly’s Task Force subpoenaed agencies like the ATF, they didn’t go far enough. Kelly’s refusal to release autopsy reports, phone records, or evidence about the white van at the rally suggests a pattern of obfuscation.

The globalist empire of Big Tech is being dragged into the light, and U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) is leading the charge.

In a scathing letter sent Thursday, Hawley invited Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, following explosive testimony from a former Meta executive turned whistleblower.

Sarah Wynn-Williams, who served as Facebook’s Director of Global Public Policy from 2011 to 2017, delivered a bombshell under oath: Meta didn’t just sell out American users — it surrendered to the Chinese Communist Party.

In her riveting testimony, Wynn-Williams exposed Meta’s secret project—code-named “Project Aldrin”—an initiative that allegedly handed China’s Communist regime access to sensitive U.S. artificial intelligence technologies.

Her most alarming claim? That Meta executives deliberately briefed Chinese officials on cutting-edge AI to give Beijing the upper hand over American companies.

“These briefings focused on critical emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence – explicit goal being to help China outcompete American companies,” said Wynn-Williams.

She warned that Meta’s LLaMA AI model is already being used by China in military applications and stated that the only reason the CCP doesn’t currently have unrestricted access to U.S. user data is because Congress intervened.

This is no longer just about privacy—it’s about national survival in the face of an aggressive foreign adversary, aided and abetted by America’s own Big Tech titans.

Wynn-Williams testified that Meta developed censorship software for the CCP in 2015 and, under Beijing’s orders, removed the account of Chinese dissident Guo Wengui—a man living on U.S. soil—just to placate the communists. Worse yet, Meta then lied to Congress about why they did it.

“Mark Zuckerberg pledged himself a free speech champion,” Wynn-Williams said. “Yet I witnessed Meta work hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party to construct and test custom-built censorship tools.”

She also confirmed that Meta pursued a sweetheart deal with the CCP to hand over user data from Hong Kong and China—and possibly even Americans—via Chinese-located servers.

Following Wynn-Williams’ bombshell testimony, Hawley told NOTUS, “They’re flying CCP officials to the United States and doing meetings, I mean, that is something. So I think it’s just the tip of the iceberg.”

“We may need to refer him to the Department of Justice. We’ll look and see if there are other instances that we need to be pursuing in that regard,” he added.

In his formal letter to Zuckerberg, Hawley cited the damning list of allegations—ranging from aiding China’s military AI ambitions to actively suppressing whistleblowers with gag orders and legal intimidation.

“The American people deserve to know the truth,” Hawley wrote. “Her testimony was filled with explosive allegations about your company’s willingness to jeopardize American national interests, betray American users and Chinese dissidents alike, and lie about it to Congress.”

“The public deserves to hear your response to these serious allegations, particularly since they pertain to American national security,” he added.

The upcoming hearing, aptly titled “A Time for Truth, Part II”, promises to be a political reckoning for Zuckerberg, Meta, and Big Tech’s cozy relationship with Communist China. If Hawley gets his way, this won’t be just another hearing—it’ll be a political earthquake.
