A resurfaced interview from 2018 throws cold water on the narrative that President Donald Trump participated in any of international trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's disgusting and evil acts against children. In 2018, Journalist Derrick Broze interviewed attorney Bradley Edwards, who represents several of Epstein's victims. The Conscious Resistance Network...

Horrific video footage showed the moment a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee was stabbed to death on a light rail train in North Carolina. Law enforcement authorities identified the victim as Iryna Zarutska. Zarutska sustained multiple stab wounds during an attack that happened at the East/West Boulevard light rail station in South End, Charlotte. Woman Who Fled War-Torn Ukraine Stabbed To De*th In The United States "As a result of the continued investigation, Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was identified as a suspect in this case. Brown was transported to Atrium Health with non-life-threatening injuries sustained at the time of the incident," the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department stated. "Brown will be arrested upon his release. He is charged with First Degree Murder," it added. Footage below: [WARNING - EXTREMELY GRAPHIC] More from the New York Post: The surveillance footage, released Friday by the Charlotte Area Transit System or CATS, shows Zarutska boarding the train in her pizzeria uniform at 9:46 p.m. and sitting, looking at her phone, unaware of the danger behind her. Just four minutes later, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. allegedly whips out a folding knife and lunges forward, stabbing her three times, at least once in the neck, police said. The chilling video then appears to show Brown then walking through the rail car, stripping off his sweatshirt and waiting by the doors — as passengers began to notice blood dripping from him. Zarutska, who grabbed her neck as blood spilled onto the train floor, collapsed in her seat and was pronounced dead on the light rail, investigators said. Additional footage: A news station walked through what happened to Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte when an animal brutally attacked her, unprovoked. He didn’t have a train ticket and shouldn’t have even been on in the first place. You should not have to live like this. pic.twitter.com/6YXuvDGfLl — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) September 6, 2025 The U.S. Sun provided further info: The haunting ordeal unfolded on the on the Lynx Blue Line at around 9:50pm on August 22. In the moments following the horrific attack, the suspect walked away from Iryna, going into another carriage before fellow passengers started to notice blood dripping from him. Brown was also somehow injured in the attack, according to reports. Minutes after the deadly stabbing, the knifeman exited the train at the next stop, before authorities located him shortly after. A heartbreaking GoFundMe for Iryna said the Ukrainian had "recently arrived in the United States, seeking safety from the war and hoping for a new beginning". The fundraiser, which was set up for her family, also said: "Tragically, her life was cut short far too soon… This is an irreparable loss for her family." Brown has been arrested multiple times since 2011. His offences include larceny, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and communicating threats. WCNC provided additional coverage:

The Pentagon is conducting a comprehensive audit of Microsoft’s practices, focusing on the “Digital Escorts” program. A third-party audit of all code and submissions tied to Chinese engineers will be required. Hegseth declared an end to the use of Chinese nationals in U.S. defense cloud environments. The Defense Department is conducting its own investigation into the program and the engineers involved. The probe aligns with the Trump administration’s push to tighten cybersecurity and reduce reliance on foreign tech workers. Article by Willow Tohi, republished with permission from Naturalnews.com Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday that the Pentagon has initiated a full-scale investigation into Microsoft for employing Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked engineers to work on U.S. military and Pentagon cloud contracts. The probe, which stems from a controversial program known as “Digital Escorts,” aims to determine whether China-based engineers had indirect access to highly sensitive national security infrastructure and whether any malicious code or vulnerabilities were introduced. Background on the digital escorts program The “Digital Escorts” program, initiated during the Obama-Biden administration, ostensibly allowed U.S. citizens with security clearances but limited technical expertise to act as intermediaries for China-based engineers working on critical defense systems. Despite being marketed as compliant with security protocols, the arrangement effectively provided foreign nationals with indirect access to classified defense infrastructure, raising significant security concerns. The program was designed to address a shortage of skilled U.S. citizens in the tech sector, but it has come under intense scrutiny for its potential security risks. Critics argue that the program not only compromised the integrity of U.S. defense systems but also opened up avenues for espionage and data theft. “The use of Chinese nationals to service Department of Defense cloud environments — it’s over,” Hegseth declared during a briefing. “We’re requiring a third-party audit of Microsoft’s digital escort program, including the code and submissions by Chinese nationals. This audit will be free of charge for U.S. taxpayers.” The Pentagon has taken immediate steps to sever ties with Microsoft’s CCP-linked engineers and is implementing a comprehensive review of all existing contracts. Hegseth emphasized that the Pentagon will not tolerate any compromises to national security and is committed to ensuring that all defense systems are secure and free from foreign interference. Concerns over national security The Pentagon’s investigation is driven by the need to ensure that no malicious code or backdoors were inserted into U.S. military systems. Cybersecurity experts and defense analysts have expressed serious concerns over the potential vulnerability created by the “Digital Escorts” program. Michael Lucci, CEO of State Armor: “Microsoft’s gross irresponsibility in creating this backdoor should be fully exposed, and if laws were broken, those responsible should be prosecuted. The integrity of our national defense systems must be a top priority.” ProPublica report highlights risks A recent ProPublica report detailed how roughly 50 U.S. citizens with security clearances relayed hundreds of commands from Chinese engineers without knowing what was being executed inside defense servers. Employees reportedly raised repeated warnings about the risks, but their concerns were not adequately addressed. The report revealed a pattern of negligence and lack of oversight, with some employees describing a culture of complacency and a focus on meeting project deadlines at the expense of security. These findings have further intensified calls for a thorough and transparent investigation. Trump administration’s cybersecurity focus The Trump administration has made tightening cybersecurity and reducing reliance on foreign tech workers a top priority. Hegseth emphasized the importance of addressing the issue promptly and thoroughly. “This never should have happened in the first place. But once we found out about it, we attacked it aggressively from the beginning, and we’re going to follow all the way through the tape to make sure this is addressed.” The administration has taken several steps to bolster cybersecurity, including increasing funding for cybersecurity research and development, implementing stricter vetting processes for tech workers and enhancing international collaboration on cyber threats. Ensuring the integrity of U.S. defense systems The Pentagon’s investigation into Microsoft’s use of CCP-linked engineers underscores the critical need to safeguard U.S. national security. As the audit and parallel investigations proceed, the focus remains on ensuring that no foreign interference compromises the integrity of America’s defense networks. Supporters of human freedom have raised concerns over a covert cyber operation orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party that has allowed them to maintain unauthorized access to U.S. networks and allied systems for an extended period. According to Israel Soong, who holds a significant position at the National Security Council as the director for East Asia and Pacific Cyber Policy, this digital assault is part of a broader strategy employed by the CCP aimed at preparing for potential attacks on critical infrastructure. If you cannot spread awareness, let me share something with you. I have been informed at the highest levels that our Pentagon is involved in a serious issue. In the next hour, Roy McKenzie will reveal information about how China may have compromising data on our troops through their servers. They managed to access cell phones and desktop computers using voting software funded by the Department of Defense. The Pentagon’s actions and the forthcoming revelations by McKenzie highlight the urgent need for accountability and transparency in matters of national security. The public’s role in exposing and addressing these issues is more critical than ever. Sources for this article include: YourNews.com Vinnews.com emni.life

An opinion piece in Canada’s Western Standard sheds light on a deeply troubling reality: one in four late-term abortions in Alberta, Canada, resulted in a baby being born alive — and many were left to die without medical care. According to the Western Standard, the federal agency responsible for compiling and reporting health data across Canada, Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), reported a total of 133 late-term abortions in Alberta in the 2023-2024 year. Based on data analyzed by pro-life researchers and originally raised in the Alberta Legislative Assembly, this should spark serious concern — and immediate action — not only in Canada, but also in the United States. According to the Canadian data, out of 133 late-term abortion procedures, 28 babies survived the abortion. These weren’t “non-viable tissue,” as the abortion industry so often claims. They were living, breathing infants, whose humanity became undeniable in their cries and movements. Instead of receiving medical attention, however, they were abandoned and left to die. These aren’t abstract numbers — these are living, breathing children. I know this reality all too well because I am one of those statistics. I survived an abortion in 1977. When my birth mom was 31 weeks pregnant, her mother, a prominent nurse at a local hospital, forced her to have an abortion to end my life. For days they injected a saline infusion into the amniotic fluid, a solution designed to poison and scald me until I was delivered dead. On the fifth day, I was born, leading my birth mom to think the abortion was successful. I was then rushed to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) — and, unbeknownst to her, I lived and was placed up for adoption. At The Abortion Survivors Network, we know firsthand the weight of such statistics — because we are living proof that survival is possible. It isn’t easy being an abortion survivor. What many don’t know is that while we fought to survive physically as babies, that mental fight continues well into adulthood. We shouldn’t have to continue to fight something we defeated as babies. There are roughly over 10,000 late-term abortions performed annually in the U.S. and that is a conservative estimate. If even 25% resulted in a live birth, as the Alberta data suggests, that would amount to 2,500 infants born alive every year. Yet in the U.S., each state has different reporting requirements and laws. For example, in Minnesota there is no ban for abortion regardless of what trimester a woman is in, she could be at 35 weeks and decide she no longer wants the child, and she can legally seek an abortion. Aside from states differing on abortion law, there is no nationwide federal requirement to report when a child is born alive during an attempted abortion. And because there are no federal “born alive” reporting standards, there is a lot we don’t know. The pro-abortion crowd may say it “doesn’t happen” but how would they know if there is no tracking, reporting and they refuse to listen to survivors and mothers? This lack of adequate data stems from several factors, including variations in state reporting requirements or perhaps some states choosing not to report abortion data at all. Opponents of Born Alive protections often argue that surviving infants who are born-alive are often too premature or sick to survive. But that misses the point entirely. Our data show that infants refute the opponent’s arguments about viability — these babies who were diagnosed with fetal anomalies survived being aborted in the second trimester. Our medical system cares for premature babies, critically ill newborns, and children with disabilities every day — why should it be any different for a baby born alive after an abortion? The measure of a humane society is not whether every life can be saved, but whether every life is treated with dignity and given a chance. What we need is strong federal Born Alive legislation that does the following: Requires mandatory reporting of all instances where infants survive abortion attempts. Mandates medical care for every baby born alive, no matter the circumstances of their birth. Ensures long-term physical and mental health support for both the child and the mother when the abortion procedure fails. Establishes medical training and legal accountability, so that no infant is left to die without intervention. It’s time to ask: How many babies survive abortions in the U.S., but do not survive the system’s silence? These children deserve our voice, our laws, and our care. Every child who survives an abortion deserves to be more than a statistic. * * * Melissa Ohden, is the founder and CEO of The Abortion Survivors Network and is a pro-life speaker, leader, and advocate who often appears on television and radio shows.
