I have recently made the decision to seek nomination as a candidate in the federal electoral district of Red Deer - Mountain View. As a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), I directly see the negative impacts of government policy on business owners and most notably, their families. This has never been more evident than in 2020. Through a common sense focus and a passion for bringing people together on common ground, I will work to help bring prosperity to the riding of Red Deer – Mountain View and Canada. I am hoping to be able to share my election campaign with your viewers/readers. Feel free to touch base with me at the email listed below or at jaredpilon.com. Thanks.

ā€˜We’re Going To Lose’: Steve Bannon Warns Withholding Epstein Files Would Doom GOP

Published on

 

From theĀ Daily Caller News Foundation

By Jason Cohen

Former White House adviser Steve Bannon warned on Friday that Republicans would suffer major losses if President Donald Trump’s administration does not move to release documents related to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and associations.

AxiosĀ reportedĀ on Sunday that a two-page memo showed the Department Of Justice (DOJ) and FBIĀ foundĀ no evidence Epstein kept a ā€œclient listā€ or was murdered, but publicĀ doubtsĀ have continued. Bannon said on ā€œBannon’s War Roomā€ that failure to release information would lead to the dissipation of one-tenth of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement and significant losses for the Republican Party in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.

ā€œIt’s not about just a pedophile ring and all that, it’s about who governs us, right? And that’s why it’s not going to go away … For this to go away, you’re going to lose 10% of the MAGA movement,ā€ Bannon said. ā€œIf we lose 10% of the MAGA movement right now, we’re going to lose 40 seats in ’26, we’re going to lose the [presidency]. They don’t even have to steal it, which they’re going to try to do in ’28, because they’re going to sit there and they go, ā€˜They’ve disheartened the hardest-core populist nationalists’ — that’s always been who governs us.ā€

Bannon alsoĀ demandedĀ the publication of all the Epstein documents on ā€œBannon’s War Roomā€ Thursday. He called on the DOJ to go to court and push for the release of the documents or for Trump to appoint a special counsel to manage the publication.

Epstein wasĀ arrestedĀ in 2019 and charged with sex trafficking. Shortly after, he wasĀ found deadĀ in his New York Metropolitan Correctional Center cell shortly after. Officials asserted that he hanged himself in his cell.

However, Epstein’s death has sparked years of theories because of the malfunctioning of prison cameras, along withĀ guardsĀ admitting toĀ falsifying documentsĀ about checking on the then-inmate. The DOJ inspector general later confirmed that multiple surveillance cameras outside of his cell were inoperable, while others captured the common area outside his door.

Both Bannon and Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson haveĀ speculatedĀ that Epstein had connections to intelligence agencies.

Former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta allegedly indicated that Epstein wasĀ tiedĀ to intelligence,Ā accordingĀ to Vicky Ward in The Daily Beast.

FBI’s Dan Bongino may resign after dispute about Epstein files with Pam Bondi

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Emily Mangiaracina

Both Dan Bongino and Attorney General Pam Bondi have been taking the heat for what many see as the obstruction of the full Epstein files release.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took the day off on Friday after an argument with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s case files.

One source close to Bongino told Axios that ā€œhe ain’t coming back.ā€ Multiple sources said the dispute erupted over surveillance footage from outside Epstein’s jail cell, where he is said to have killed himself. Bongino had found the video and ā€œtouted it publicly and privately as proof that Epstein hadn’t been murdered,ā€ AxiosĀ noted.

After it was found that there was a missing minute in the footage, the result of a standard surveillance reset at midnight, Bongino was ā€œblamed internally for the oversight,ā€ according to three sources.

Trump supporter and online influencer Laura Loomer firstĀ reportedĀ Friday on X that Bongino took the day off and that he and FBI Director Kash Patel were ā€œfuriousā€ with the way Bondi had handled the case.

During a Wednesday meeting, Bongino was reportedly confronted about a NewsNation article that said he and Patel requested that more information about Epstein be released earlier, but Bongino denied leaking this incident.

ā€œPam said her piece. Dan said his piece. It didn’t end on friendly terms,ā€ said one source who heard about the exchange, adding that Bongino left angry.

The meeting followed Bondi’s controversialĀ releaseĀ of a bombshell memo in which claimed there is no Epstein ā€œclient listā€ and that ā€œno further disclosure is warranted,ā€ contradicting Bondi’s earlier statement that there were ā€œtens of thousands of videosā€ providing the ability to identify the individuals involved in sex with minors and that anyone in the Epstein files who tries to keep their name private has ā€œno legal basis to do so.ā€

The memo ā€œis attempting to sweep the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal under the rug,ā€ according to independent investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger in aĀ superb analysis published on X.

ā€œThe DOJ’s sudden claim that no ā€˜client list’ exists after years of insinuating otherwise is a slap in the face to accountability,ā€ DOGEai noted in its response to the Shellenberger piece. ā€œIf agencies can’t document basic facts about one of the most notorious criminal cases in modern history, that’s not a paperwork problem — it’s proof the system protects its own.ā€

Carlson offered the theory that U.S. intelligence services are ā€œat the very center of this storyā€ and are being protected. His guest, Saagar Enjeti, agreed. ā€œThat’s the most obvious [explanation],ā€ Enjeti said, referencing past CIA-linked pedophilia cases. He noted the agency had avoided prosecutions for fear suspects would reveal ā€œsources and methodsā€ in court.

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb has discussed in her book ā€œOne Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime That Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein,ā€ how the intelligence community leverages sex trafficking through operatives like Epstein to blackmail politicians, members of law enforcement, businessmen, and other influential figures.

Just one example of evidence of this, according to Webb, is former U.S. Secretary of Labor and U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta’s explanation as to why he agreed to a non-prosecution deal in the lead-up to Epstein’s 2008 conviction of procuring a child for prostitution. AcostaĀ toldĀ Trump transition team interviewers that he was told that Epstein ā€œbelonged to intelligence,ā€ adding that he was told to ā€œleave it alone,ā€ The Daily BeastĀ reported.

While Epstein himself never stood trial, as heĀ allegedly committed suicide while under ā€œsuicide watchā€ in his jail cell in 2019, many have questioned the suicide and whether the well-connected financier was actually murdered as part of a cover-up.

These theories were only emboldened when investigative reporters at Project Veritas discovered that ABC and CBS NewsĀ quashedĀ a purportedly devastating report exposing Epstein.
