🚨 THE KINGDOM RISES: Over 70,000 British Patriots Already Flood London for Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom March — They are singing “KEIR STARMER’S A WANKER!” in London during the Unite the Kingdom rally! And the Tide Is Still Building Toward History’s Largest Stand In the shadow of Westminster, where Magna Carta first bound kings to the consent of the governed, history is rhyming again. Today, May 16, 2026, sons and daughters of Albion — from every corner of the realm — are converging not as rioters, but as heirs reclaiming their birthright. Early estimates already crest 70,000, with coaches still rolling in and the numbers swelling by the hour. This isn’t fringe theater; it’s the visible fracture in the elite consensus that has treated mass migration as sacrament, two-tier policing as policy, and native dissent as the real threat. Scholars of Locke and Burke would recognize the pattern: when governors sever the ancient covenant — flooding communities with unassimilable change while shielding their own enclaves — the people do not merely grumble. They assemble. They march. They remind the powerful that sovereignty flows upward from the governed, not downward from Davos or Downing Street. Tommy Robinson’s rally isn’t “far-right chaos” as the legacy broadcasters sneer; it is the raw arithmetic of a nation asking, with one voice, whether Britain still belongs to the British. Free speech under siege. Streets transformed. Children’s futures bartered. Enough. The Met has rolled out 4,000 officers, drones, horses, and facial recognition — an “unprecedented” operation costing millions — while a parallel Nakba march proceeds under separate guard. The optics are impossible to miss: the state braces for its own people while the demographic revolution it engineered continues unchecked. Yet the crowd’s vibe, by all live accounts, is electric, proud, and peaceful — a festival of reclaimed resolve, not fury. Smiles, flags, songs. The very sight the regime fears most: unity without apology. This moment transcends one march. It is Phoenix Retrieval in human form: a nation retrieving its memory, its borders, its voice. The algorithm of history doesn’t forget. Neither should we. The people are ready to boot Starmer and begin the resurgence! He knows he’s COOKED. Check out my post in the comments on who Starmer REALLY is. 🇺🇸🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra Share this. Tag a patriot.

@LibertyCappy It’s Andrew.

🚨BREAKING: NASA's Lead Electrostatics Scientist claims he’s discovered a “new force” that counteracts gravity with no fuel necessary. Dr. Charles Buhler has run 2,000 vacuum chamber experiments showing a propellantless thrust force that persists after the power is switched off, and cannot be explained by ion wind, magnetic effects, or classical energy conservation. The input is pure electricity and the output is millinewtons of thrust counteracting gravity. He believes his work vindicates the legacy of midcentury antigravity pioneer Thomas Townsend Brown and will lead to a new paradigm of propellantless deep space travel that transcends chemical combustion rockets🚨 Charles Buhler has a PhD in condensed matter physics from Florida State University, spent over two decades at NASA's Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center (which he now leads), and is the incoming president of the Electrostatic Society of America. He is NASA’s authority on electrostatics. His colleague Andrew Aurigema, a 35-year veteran engineer working from the Townsend Brown electrogravitics lineage, developed a parallel version of the same experiment independently, and the two discovered each other through a mutual colleague who had been watching both of them work in silence for years. Together, under their company Exodus Propulsion Technologies, they have tested nearly 2,000 variations of what they believe is a previously undocumented force. He’s also developed a quantum electrodynamics based theory to explain his results. Buhler’s patent is now under formal examination by the U.S. Patent Office with affidavit-signing witnesses being contacted independently. This is the future of space travel, beyond chemical combustion. With Rocketry, we can only get to Proxima Centauri B in 80,000 years. And you’d burn through the fuel well before that. It’s completely untenable for interstellar travel. 1. Buhler’s Skeptic Mentor Stopped Cold in 2010 The first demonstration happened in a non-vacuum lab using a laser aimed at a wall to detect small displacements. Buhler had his future brother-in-law run the test. His mentor, Dr. Sid Clements, an electrostatics expert who had dismissed the work entirely, watched the laser move and immediately abandoned what he was doing. He walked over, ran through a series of verification steps on the spot, and never questioned the reality of the effect again. That was 2010. It took two more years working with Drew before Buhler realized the force appeared even without any B field or current present. He wasn't in the field momentum regime at all. He was in pure electrostatics. 2. The Force is Not Explainable by Newton’s Laws or Ion Wind Ion wind produces thrust in the same direction the ionized air is traveling. The “Exodus force” (Buhler’s name for his new force) produces thrust perpendicular to the expected ion wind direction, reverses cleanly when the device is flipped, and remains present inside a sealed enclosure where no ionized air can escape. Buhler documented this publicly with video: a balsa lifter placed inside a sealed plastic box on a scale, powered up, lifts internally while the scale reads flat. That is conservation of momentum. That is what ion wind looks like. The Exodus force is something different, and Buhler, as the person who leads NASA's only electrostatics lab, is in an unambiguous position to make that distinction. 3. 2,000 Variations, All Producing the Same Result Since beginning collaboration with Drew, Buhler has tracked nearly 2,000 distinct test articles, each tested multiple times. Pendulums. Spinners. Rotators. Force plates. Scales. Pendulum deflections inside Faraday cages. Reversed polarity tests. Vacuum chamber runs at multiple pressure levels. DC-only configurations that eliminate magnetic field artifacts entirely. Every geometry, every material, every packaging approach. The force appears consistently. When a confounding variable is proposed, they address it, run the modified test, and the force is still there. Buhler says if an exotic explanation remains, it is not one he or any colleague has been able to name. 4. The Device Generates Thrust With the Power Off This is the finding that breaks the classical framework entirely. After charging the device and disconnecting it from the power supply, the thrust continues. The capacitor does not drain in the way a simple energy storage calculation would predict. Put on a scale, the weight reduction persists. Buhler's description: if placed in space with the power off, the device would accelerate. He cannot explain that to the scientific community and says so directly. David Chester, who has independently interacted with Drew through APEC sessions and private communications, said he cannot think of a prosaic explanation for this. The phenomenon has been reproduced enough times across enough configurations that calling it experimental error is no longer a defensible position. 5. The Implications of This for Past Antigravity Work Buhler believes his work is derivative of and related to Townsend Brown’s midcentury asymmetric capacitor experiments also showing thrust with pure electricity as the input. Chemical combustion is limited - plain and simple - we can’t get to the nearest habitable planet (Proxima Centauri B) in close the amount of time we’d need; it would take us 80,000 years and we’d burn through the fuel before we got there. It’s a checkmate in one argument against anyone claiming rockets are the frontier of efficiency. This was the dream of Thomas Townsend Brown – one that got stifled and suppressed behind the veil of secrecy and subcompartments. The common trope from experiments around the world are high electric field differentials seem to result in thrust. Buhler’s experiment exists in this lineage. 6. The Patent Office is Running the Peer Review Buhler made a deliberate choice not to pursue academic peer review as a primary path. His second patent is currently under examination, and the examiner's office has been reaching out to independent witnesses who have signed affidavits confirming they have seen and reproduced the effect. Buhler describes this as equivalent to scientific peer review, run by people with no financial interest in the outcome. His first patent may have been held under a national security review process before release. He does not confirm this, but he was aware it was a risk when he filed. 7. A QED Theorist Could Poke Holes in the Theory, But Not the Experiment We brought in UCLA PhD David Chester to evaluate Buhler’s ideas on quantum electrodynamics (which might account for the thrust being seen). David Chester's contribution was not to validate the theory Buhler proposed. He found some issues with the specific scalar virtual photon framing Buhler had developed. What Chester could not do was provide a prosaic explanation for the experimental results themselves. He said directly that, of all the anomalous phenomena he has surveyed, Buhler and Drew's work ranks in the top ten for experimental persuasiveness, specifically because of the iteration rate and the self-consistency across configurations. He noted that Drew's innovation rate alone, constantly testing new geometries and material stacks, is unlike anything he has seen from other groups making similar claims. Buhler pointed out that his theories were based on time-independent perturbation theory which Chester admits requires further examination from him. 8. NASA's UAP Investigation Had No Physicists Buhler and his wife, an engineer in NASA's Launch Services Program, were approached to assist with NASA's second UAP follow-on investigation. When Buhler asked to be placed with the physicists on the project, he was told there were none. The group was instrumentation-focused. Buhler says he was genuinely shocked. His reaction, expressed directly: if you are facing objects that defy the laws of physics, why is there not a single physicist in the room. He described the same reaction Eric Davis has expressed publicly. This is either institutional brain death or something else is happening somewhere else. 9. Six Lights Emerged from the Ocean Near Patrick Air Force Base Around 2013, Buhler and his wife were alone on the beach near Cocoa Beach, Florida, three miles south of Patrick Air Force Base. A red light appeared roughly three miles offshore, grew extremely bright, then appeared to explode, lighting the full length of beach. A helicopter launched from Patrick Air Force Base, flew to the location, hovered briefly, and returned to base without intervening. The light did not stop. It began moving toward them. At some point it split from one light into six rotating orange-pink lights that went under the water and re-emerged in a repeating cycle. The lights tracked their movement along the beach for forty minutes, closing to within roughly fifty yards before disappearing. Buhler says similar lights have been reported by others in the same area, and Stephen Greer runs group observation sessions approximately forty minutes south of the same beach. 10. The Force Crosses the Unity Threshold for Space Already The current demonstrated force is in the five to ten millinewton range. For Earth launch, that is not yet sufficient, and Buhler does not claim otherwise. For orbital station-keeping, for preventing satellite orbital decay, for repositioning between orbits in microgravity, the force exceeds what is needed. Buhler calls this hitting unity for space, moon, and Mars applications without any major development beyond what has already been demonstrated. The self-launcher, a device capable of lifting itself from Earth's surface, is the declared goal. No blueprints exist yet for the energy requirements. But the force is real, it is directional, it reverses on command, and it does not require continuous power to sustain. Why This Matters NASA's lead electrostatics scientist ran nearly 2,000 controlled experiments, eliminated every prosaic explanation the field has available, documented a thrust that persists after the power is cut, watched the fine structure constant emerge from the data repeatedly, and submitted a second patent currently under formal examination. A QED theorist with no commercial stake in the outcome reviewed the experimental claims and could not find a conventional explanation. The standard debunking line for this entire lineage of experiments has always been ion wind. That argument has been answered, documented, and filmed. What remains is a force that requires either new physics or an error that two decades of systematic testing has not been able to locate. The patent process will resolve part of this. The vacuum chamber footage will resolve more of it. Full conversation is live now. The next stage in human space travel is here.

James O’Keefe went undercover as a Homeless Man and has ON CAMERA the Homeless Population being paid CASH for Ballots - James O’Keefe’s team posed as homeless on LA’s Skid Row and recorded 28 separate instances of paid petitioners handing out cash ($2–$10 per signature), cigarettes, and marijuana in direct exchange for signing voter registration forms and election petitions — a clear state and federal felony. - Petition circulators openly admitted they are paid per signature and can earn $1,000+ in a single day; one bragged, “$7 a signature, $5 a signature, $10 a signature.” - Homeless individuals were repeatedly told to use fake addresses (“You can just put Pinocchio Lane” / “Oh, you can just fake an address”) and many had zero understanding of what they were signing. - Petitions included radical measures funded by Uber, Delta, United Airlines, and the American Hotel & Lodging Association — such as a 5% “one-time tax on billionaires for healthcare” and overturning LA’s $30 minimum wage for hotel/airline workers. - Taxpayer-funded Weingart Center (CEO previously earned $432,000) employees actively directed homeless residents to the bribe-paying petitioners and coached plausible deniability: “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’” - The activity violates 52 U.S. Code §10307 (federal) and California Election Code §18603 (state); identical crimes led to arrests on Skid Row in 2016 and felony charges in 2019 — yet LAPD officers on scene shrugged it off as “a civil lawsuit.” This is documented proof of widespread election fraud in California!

🚨 DOJ signals it’s still digging into Biden autopen use despite reports probe fizzled Republican-led House Oversight Committee called Biden's autopen use a scandal and recommended further DOJ investigation Inside Baseball: I had a conversation with two legal scholars specializing in constitutional law, executive authority, and federal criminal statutes. Let's examine the legal context surrounding the use of an autopen (a mechanical device that replicates a signature) by White House staff to sign official presidential documents, assuming—as the question posits—that this occurred without President Joe Biden's specific knowledge or authorization for each individual use. We will focus on potential violations of federal statutes, drawing on statutory text, historical precedents, judicial interpretations, Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinions, and scholarly commentary. This analysis assumes the facts as alleged in public reports and investigations (e.g., the House Oversight Committee's October 2025 report and the subsequent DOJ probe), but I emphasize that criminal liability requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt, including intent, which is often challenging in such cases. The U.S. Constitution, in Article I, Section 7, requires that "[e]very Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it." This extends to executive orders, pardons, and other official acts requiring presidential signature under Article II. Historically, presidents have used autopens for efficiency, dating back to Thomas Jefferson's polygraph device and more modern uses by Presidents Reagan, George W. Bush, and Obama. For instance, Obama directed autopen use from Europe in 2011 to extend Patriot Act provisions, and Biden reportedly used it for up to 92% of documents during his term amid cognitive decline concerns. A key 2005 OLC opinion (issued under President George W. Bush) concludes that the President may "sign" a bill by directing a subordinate to affix his signature mechanically (e.g., via autopen), without personally performing the act, as long as the President has decided to approve it. This opinion, rooted in common law principles of "signing" (where one can authorize another to affix a mark), does not require the President's physical presence but explicitly hinges on the President's express direction and approval. Scholarly critiques, such as Professor Terry L. Turnipseed's 2012 article, argue that non-presence proxy signatures violate constitutional intent, potentially rendering acts void and risking unintended pocket vetoes if Congress adjourns. However, the OLC view has prevailed in practice, and no court has invalidated an autopen-signed document solely on this basis. The crux of the query is unauthorized use "without knowledge on each use". If staff acted independently—bypassing specific presidential approval per document—this could render the acts constitutionally infirm (e.g., unauthorized exercise of Article II power) and expose staff to criminal liability. Reports from the House Oversight Committee suggest "alarming deficiencies" in documentation, with aides allegedly using the autopen to "facilitate executive actions without direct authorization," raising "constitutional and criminal concerns." The DOJ investigation (opened in June 2025 under Trump's executive order and closed in early 2026) reportedly found no "viable criminal statute," likely due to evidentiary hurdles (e.g., proving lack of general authorization or intent to defraud) rather than the absence of applicable laws. Nonetheless, in the hypothetical of clear unauthorized, unknowing use, several federal statutes could apply. I analyze the most relevant below, focusing on Title 18 of the U.S. Code (Crimes and Criminal Procedure). Federal criminal law does not explicitly prohibit autopen use, but unauthorized signing could implicate statutes on forgery, false statements, conspiracy, and impersonation. These require proof of elements like knowledge, willfulness, materiality, and intent to defraud or mislead. "Defraud" broadly includes impairing government functions (e.g., deceiving Congress, agencies, or the public about presidential actions), per cases like "Hammerschmidt v. United States" (1924). Applicability turns on facts: Was the autopen used to conceal Biden's incapacity? Did it mislead about his involvement? Below, I quote key statutory text and analyze. 1. 18 U.S.C. § 494 - Forgery of Contractors’ Bonds, Bids, and Public Records Statutory Text: "Whoever falsely makes, alters, forges, or counterfeits any bond, bid, proposal, contract, guarantee, security, official bond, public record, affidavit, or other writing for the purpose of defrauding the United States; or Whoever utters or publishes as true or possesses with intent to utter or publish as true, any such false, forged, altered, or counterfeited writing, knowing the same to be false, forged, altered, or counterfeited; or Whoever transmits to, or presents at any office or to any officer of the United States, any such false, forged, altered, or counterfeited writing, knowing the same to be false, forged, altered, or counterfeited— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both." Analysis: This statute targets forgery of "public records" or "other writings" to defraud the U.S. An unauthorized autopen signature could qualify as "forging" or "counterfeiting" if it replicates Biden's signature without per-use approval, creating a false implication of personal assent. Official documents (e.g., executive orders, pardons) are "public records" or "writings" under broad interpretations (see *United States v. Reagle*, 1984, applying it to falsified government forms). Intent to defraud could be inferred if the purpose was to mislead about Biden's cognitive state or authority, obstructing lawful government processes (e.g., invalidating actions like the 1,500+ late-term pardons). Penalties are severe (up to 10 years), but challenges include proving the signature was "false" (autopens are mechanically accurate) and specific intent. If staff transmitted such documents to agencies (e.g., DOJ for pardons), the transmission clause applies. This was cited in analyses of the Biden scandal as a potential hook for "false writings." 2. 18 U.S.C. § 1018 - False Official Certificates or Writings Statutory Text: "Whoever, being a public officer or other person authorized by any law of the United States to make or give a certificate or other writing, knowingly makes and delivers as true such a certificate or writing, containing any statement which he knows to be false, in a case where the punishment thereof is not elsewhere expressly provided by law, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both." Analysis: This misdemeanor statute applies to authorized public officers (e.g., White House staff under presidential delegation) who deliver false "certificates or other writings." An autopen-signed document could contain an implicit "false statement" (e.g., that Biden knowingly approved it), if unauthorized. Staff are "authorized" via general executive roles, but exceeding scope (no per-use knowledge) could trigger liability. It's a catch-all for falsities not covered elsewhere, with lighter penalties (up to 1 year). Applicability is strong if documents like pardons or orders are "certificates" (per *United States v. Wertheimer*, 1970, broadly interpreting "writing"). Intent to mislead (e.g., concealing decline) satisfies "knowingly." However, if another statute (e.g., § 494) applies, this yields. 3. 18 U.S.C. § 1001 - False Statements or Entries Generally Statutory Text: "(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully— (1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact; (2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or (3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry; shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years... or both." Analysis: Often called the "false statements" statute, this broadly prohibits falsities in executive matters (e.g., White House operations). Unauthorized autopen use could involve "using" a "false writing" under (a)(3), where the signature falsely implies Biden's awareness/approval—a "material" fact if it affects policy implementation or public trust (per *Brogan v. United States*, 1998). Willfulness requires intent to deceive, potentially met if concealing incapacity. Jurisdiction is clear (executive branch). Penalties rise to 8 years for terrorism-related matters. This was invoked in Biden analyses for "schemes" to cover up decline, but proving materiality (e.g., did the falsity impact decisions?) is key. Exceptions for judicial proceedings don't apply. 4. 18 U.S.C. § 371 - Conspiracy to Commit Offense or Defraud the United States Statutory Text: "If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both." Analysis: This covers agreements to defraud the U.S. (e.g., impairing functions via deception). If multiple staff conspired to use the autopen without per-use knowledge (an "overt act"), it could defraud by unconstitutionally wielding Article II power (per Trump's June 2025 memo). "Defraud" includes non-financial deceit ( *Haas v. Henkel*, 1910). Applicability is high for coordinated cover-ups, as alleged in Oversight reports. It could bootstrap other offenses (e.g., § 1001). Penalties cap at 5 years, but proving agreement/intent is evidentiary intensive. 5. 18 U.S.C. § 912 - False Impersonation of Officer or Employee of the United States Statutory Text: "Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such, or in such pretended character demands or obtains any money, paper, document, or thing of value, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both." Analysis: Staff could violate this by "pretending" to act under Biden's authority via unauthorized signatures, "obtaining" documents (e.g., signed orders) of value (legal effect). It's a stretch—staff *are* federal employees—but if exceeding scope to impersonate presidential assent, it fits (per *United States v. Lepowitch*, 1943, on pretended authority). Intent to mislead satisfies. Penalties up to 3 years. - Evidentiary Hurdles: Proving "without knowledge on each use" requires internal records; general authorization (e.g., blanket approval) might negate violations. The DOJ closure suggests insufficient evidence. - No Specific Prohibition: No statute bans autopens; OLC allows directed use. Scholarly views (e.g., Turnipseed) focus on invalidity, not crime. - Policy Implications: Criminalizing could chill executive efficiency, but unauthorized acts undermine the separation of powers. - Other Angles: Civil remedies (e.g., invalidating actions via quo warranto) or impeachment (moot post-term) might apply, but not criminal. Conclusion Assuming unauthorized use without per-use knowledge, staff could violate §§ 494, 1018, 1001, 371, and 912 by forging/misrepresenting presidential authority, potentially defrauding the U.S. These statutes provide viable bases for prosecution, with penalties from 1-10 years. However, the high bar for intent and the OLC's permissive stance on directed autopens explain the probe's closure. This scenario highlights tensions in executive delegation amid incapacity concerns, warranting legislative fixes like the proposed BIDEN Act (banning autopens for key acts). Future scholarship may explore whether such acts constitute a "usurpation" under Article II, but criminally, the above framework applies. Lastly, let us not forget that we are in Washington, D.C., and must get a grand jury to indict and a jury to convict.
