“I think a lot of people thought, you know, that the Biden administration would be a moderate administration, but it’s not,” he said.

He said Kamala Harris will move even “further left” than Biden.

“I mean, her dad is literally… a Marxist economist”

A much publicized recorded conversation between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump has generated 1 billion views, according to the former.

Musk, who owns X (formerly Twitter), spoke with Trump for nearly two hours last night on the social media platform. The conversation was delayed by a “massive distributed denial of service attack,” Musk said. The hackers’ attack showed “there’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say.”

The European Union also sent a letter to Musk warning him that he had obligations to avoid posting “harmful content” that would “generate detrimental effects on civic discourse.”

Meanwhile, the Tesla CEO said Trump must win “for the good of the country.”

The pair talked about illegal immigration, the economy under Trump, the recent assassination attempt upon the former president, and crime.

Musk said he has “historically” been a “moderate Democrat” and explained why he is backing Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

“I feel like we’re really at a critical juncture for the country,” he said during the conversation. “I think a lot of people thought, you know, that the Biden administration would be a moderate administration, but it’s not,” he said.

He said Kamala Harris will move even “further left” than Biden.

“I mean, her dad is literally… a Marxist economist,” Musk said. (Even left-wing Snopes has acknowledged Stanford University Professor Donald Harris is a Marxist.)

Musk also said that Harris is “far left” but there is a “propaganda” campaign to remake her into a moderate.

“And we’re seeing just an overnight propaganda attempt to rewrite history and make it sound like Kamala’s moderate when she in fact is not moderate,” Musk said.

Trump pointed out that Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is also a radical. As governor, he signed a law requiring boys’ bathrooms to provide female hygiene products.

“Well, her running mate approved, signed into legislation tampons in boys’ bathrooms, okay? Now that’s all I have to hear, tampons in boys’ bathrooms,” the former president said. “And that means she believes in that, too. I mean, she picked this guy because he was the closest to her.”

“If we have her as a president, if we have a Democrat at this moment as the president, I don’t think our country can survive,” Trump warned.

Both talked about “common sense” views and the need to avoid the country turning into a nation-sized San Francisco or California.

“I think these are issues that I think most people in America would agree with, which is that we want safe and clean cities,” Musk said. “We want secure borders” and “sensible government spending,” as well as a fair judicial system.

Open borders are ‘existential issue,’ Musk says

Unchecked illegal immigration is a threat to the country and an “existential issue,” according to Musk.

“Whether it’s a question of intention or competence, either way, we don’t have a secure border and we have people streaming over like it looks like a World War Z zombie apocalypse at times,” Musk said, referencing Vice President Harris’ role as border czar.

Referencing a trip he took to the border, Musk said the people crossing “did not look friendly.”

“These are rough people,” Trump said in agreement.

“The caravans are coming in… and who’s doing this is the heads of the countries,” Trump said.

“The fact is it’s brilliant for them because they’re [sending] all their bad people, really bad people,” he warned and stated that among the illegal migrants were people who are lazy or won’t work.

He added: “And they’re also getting rid of their of their murderers and their drug dealers and the people that are really brutal people.”

He also suggested that foreign countries are sending prisoners into the USA to save the money it would cost to keep them in jail.

Trump criticized Harris for suggesting that she is going to start securing the border, noting that she has not done so since taking office in 2021.

“I think this is a fundamental existential issue for the United States,” Musk said during the interview. “And if we have another four more years of open borders, and it’s gonna be even worse. With another four more years, it’s gonna be even worse than it’s been for the past three and a half years.”

“I’m not sure we’ve got a country,” the Tesla CEO warned.

The pair also discussed how relatively few of the migrants are from neighboring Mexico.

“It’s Earth, the rest of Earth,” Musk said.

Musk and Trump also discussed some of the more radical elements of the environmentalist agenda. Though Musk owns an electric car company, he also supports the use of oil and gas. Trump pointed out that most electricity still comes from oil and gas.

Even to create your electric car and create the electricity needed for the electric car, you know, fossil fuel is what really creates that at the generating plants,” Trump said.

Musk was more pessimistic, saying the country may need to move away from oil and gas, but that even in 100 years the country would “probably be okay” in terms of fuel. He said there should not be “hardship” in moving away from oil and gas.

He suggested that both solar and nuclear power could provide more energy in the future.

The conversation between the CEO and the former POTUS also covered the “lawfare” against Trump, who has been targeted with questionable charges and novel legal theories, including in New York. There, a left-wing prosecutor named Alvin Bragg got the president convicted on questionable charges of campaign finance violations for alleged hush money payments he made to a porn actress. The decision has drawn criticism from legal experts.

“It does happen in banana republics and third world countries, but it’s never happened [here],” Trump said.

The former president also declared that Harris would harm the country if elected president, saying that she “destroyed” San Francisco and California while in power there. Harris served as the district attorney for San Francisco prior to running for attorney general.

Harris is “radical left,” Trump said.

“She is a San Francisco liberal who destroyed San Francisco. And then as attorney general, she destroyed California,” Trump said.

“Our country is becoming a very dangerous place,” Trump warned shortly after those comments. “And she is a radical left, San Francisco liberal.”

RCMP Bust B.C. Fentanyl Superlab Linked to Mexico and Transnational Exports

Published on

In a remote mountainous area of British Columbia, federal police have dismantled the largest fentanyl laboratory ever discovered in Canada. This western province has become a critical front in the Five Eyes battle against the production and distribution of deadly synthetic narcotics trafficked globally by networks involving Chinese and Iranian state-sponsored mafias and Mexican cartels.

In a groundbreaking discovery, the RCMP located the superlab in Falkland—a village of 946 residents nestled in the rugged terrain between Calgary and Vancouver—using Phenyl-2-Propanone (P2P) to manufacture methamphetamine. This production method, primarily employed by Mexican cartels, stems from the precursors and scientific expertise Mexican cartels have gathered from elite Chinese criminals since the early 2000s, according to U.S. enforcement sources.

David Teboul, Commander of the RCMP Federal Policing program in the Pacific Region, underscored the significance: “Manufacturing methamphetamine using P2P had not been seen in Western Canada until now,” he said. “The P2P manufacturing method has been the primary method used by Mexican cartels to produce methamphetamine for years.”

Demonstrating the destructive power of the cartels involved, the RCMP seized a staggering cache of illicit substances and weapons. Officers confiscated 54 kilograms of fentanyl, massive amounts of precursor chemicals, 390 kilograms of methamphetamine, 35 kilograms of cocaine, 15 kilograms of MDMA, and 6 kilograms of cannabis. The superlab was described as the largest and most sophisticated of its kind, capable of producing multiple types of illicit drugs.

“To put things into context,” Teboul said, “the over 95 million potentially lethal doses of fentanyl that have been seized could have taken the lives of every Canadian at least twice over.”

A large portion of the product was destined for other countries.

During the investigation, RCMP officers learned of several large shipments of methamphetamine prepared for international export. They intercepted 310 kilograms of methamphetamine before it could leave Canada, preventing a significant quantity from reaching global markets—a critical point as Canada faces pressure from its allies over its role in the global fentanyl and methamphetamine trade.

Teboul noted that the RCMP collaborated with its Five Eyes enforcement partners—an intelligence alliance comprising Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Although Teboul did not provide specific details, this cooperation underscores the international scope of the transnational investigation.

The first suspect, Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa, was identified and arrested during raids. He is currently in custody and faces multiple charges, including possession and export of controlled substances, possession of prohibited firearms and devices, and possession of explosive devices. More arrests are expected, Teboul said.

The scale of this criminal network echoes the power and violence fueling gang wars that have rocked British Columbia, putting innocent lives at risk during high-powered shootouts in Vancouver. Investigators seized a total of 89 firearms, including 45 handguns, 21 AR-15-style rifles, and submachine guns—many of which were loaded and ready for use. The searches also uncovered small explosive devices, vast amounts of ammunition, firearm silencers, high-capacity magazines, body armor, and $500,000 in cash.

British Columbia has been grappling with an influx of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, significantly exacerbating the opioid crisis across Canada. The province has witnessed a surge in overdose deaths, prompting law enforcement to intensify efforts against drug production and trafficking networks. Experts highlight weaknesses in Canadian laws and a lack of federal oversight at the Port of Vancouver, which have been exploited by transnational crime and money laundering organizations from China, Iran, and Mexico.

This significant bust comes at a time when Canada is under increased scrutiny from international allies over its role as a hub for the export of fentanyl and methamphetamine. The superlab takedown appears to align with serious concerns raised by lawmakers in Washington about how Canada and Mexico are being used by transnational crime organizations to distribute fentanyl worldwide.

A recent U.S. congressional report argues that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) strategy relies less on overt military actions and more on covert tactics, including trafficking of fentanyl and leveraging money laundering, aimed at exploiting vulnerabilities across social, economic, and health domains.

“Fentanyl precursors are manufactured in China and shipped to Mexico and Canada. For precursors that arrive in Mexico, Chinese transnational mafias work with Mexican cartels to smuggle and distribute fentanyl in the United States on behalf of the CCP,” the report states. “The DEA confirmed Chinese transnational crime leaders hold government positions in the CCP and indicated that Chinese transnational crime organizations are dedicated to the CCP.”

“The public deserves to know about the CCP’s role in fentanyl production and how the Party is using fentanyl as a chemical weapon to kill Americans,” the report adds. It recommends that Washington publicly “blame the CCP as much as the DEA and its partners currently blame the Sinaloa Cartel” for fentanyl trafficking and urges the government to “educate international allies about CCP chemical warfare” and encourage them to condemn Chinese transnational crime.

According to congressional investigations, Beijing is actively incentivizing the export of fentanyl and methamphetamine worldwide. The report alleges that Chinese criminal organizations, including Triads led by individuals with official positions in the CCP, are working alongside Mexican cartels to generate profit to fund interference operations in America.

RFK Jr: Trump has ‘asked me to clean up the corruption’ in federal health agencies

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Emily Mangiaracina

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he has been tasked by Donald Trump with ending the conflicts of interest that now compromise the integrity of U.S. health agencies, with devastating ripple effects on the well-being of Americans.

Former Democrat-turned-independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Wednesday that former President Donald Trump has asked him to reorganize and “clean up” federal health agencies like the CDC and FDA if Trump is re-elected in November.

Kennedy, who joined Trump’s presidential transition team in late August after dropping out of the race himself and then endorsing the former president, shared in an appearance on NewsNation that Trump wants him to “reorganize the federal health agencies” affecting human health, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as some of the agencies within the USDA.”

“He’s asked me to clean up the corruption, number one,” Kennedy said. “Number two, end the conflicts of interest.”

In recent years, Kennedy has spoken much publicly about the pattern of corruption and conflicts of interest that he witnessed firsthand during his many years as an environmental attorney. During Kennedy’s presidential run, he discussed how the “corporate capture” of regulatory agencies is the “biggest threat to American democracy.”

As Kennedy explained during his Wednesday NewsNation appearance, “When you litigate these agencies, you get a Ph.D. in corporate capture and how to unravel it.”

According to Kennedy, the problem is pronounced in health agencies, where for example, the FDA “gets 50 percent of its budget from Big Pharma” and the NIH “collects royalties when (a) pharma company sells (its) product,” as he explained in an interview last year.

Kennedy went on to share Wednesday that he has been tasked by Trump with “return(ing)” those U.S. health agencies “to their rich tradition of gold-standard, empirically based, evidence-based medicine.”

He shared that Trump has also tasked him with ending “the chronic disease epidemic in this country,” adding, “And he’s asked me specifically to measurably reduce chronic disease in our children within two years.”

On Wednesday, he cited statistics showing unprecedented, drastically poor patterns of health in Americans, especially in children.

According to Kennedy, a staggering “77% of American boys cannot qualify for the military because of a chronic disease, and that while when he was a child, “the average pediatrician saw one case of diabetes in his lifetime,” now one out of every three kids is diabetic or pre-diabetic.

He further shared that in his generation, only “one in 10,000” has full-blown autism, whereas now the rate is one in 34 children.

“This is an existential threat to the country,” said Kennedy, adding that Trump wants his “legacy to the American people” to be “the end of the chronic disease epidemic.”
