Following the Department of Justice’s third and largest Epstein file dump, Bill Gates admitted to having two affairs — one with a Russian bridge player and another with a Russian nuclear physicist. These confessions might land the tech billionaire in hotter water than the kind that results from typical cheating scandals, Glenn Beck says. “This is not about infidelity,” he says, but rather about a potential “honeypot operation.” “Because Bill Gates is not just one of the wealthiest men in the world. His foundation influences global health policy. ... His technology platforms, even worse, are embedded in our government systems. He has real relationships tied to military and federal contracts,” Glenn declares. “He’s not a private citizen. He is a national security interest and risk.” He then paints a hypothetical but chilling picture: “A wealthy American titan in a compromising relationship with a foreign national, facilitated or financially entangled by a convicted blackmailer with global connections.” He asks pointedly: “If you were running an intelligence service in Russia, what would you call that? I would call that a honeypot operation.” “If you were looking for leverage over someone with global vaccine influence, agricultural control, networks, data, infrastructure access, advisory roles across all kinds of administrations (his systems are tied into our Pentagon and everything else), you don’t need proof of wrongdoing. You’d only need the threat of exposure,” he adds. While none of this suggests that Gates is guilty of “espionage” or was “knowingly part a foreign plot,” it does suggest something else, Glenn says: “He was in the position where someone could apply pressure.” A measure to require voter ID is moving ever closer to getting on the November 3 general election ballot in California. The ballot measure received about 1.35 million signatures in the Golden State; people collected over 800,000 signatures more than what was required. It will now go to the state secretary of state to verify the signatures later this week. The ballot measure would require voters to show several forms of identification. Citizens seeking to vote by mail would have to write the last four digits of their identification number from a form of identification of choice on the ballot to be counted. Advocates of the ballot measure believe the proposal has gained bipartisan support. Assemblymember Leticia Castillo (R-Corona) said, “When people begin to question the integrity of our elections, trust in the government starts to erode. That’s exactly why we need voter ID in California.” “The State Department is actively securing military aircraft and charter flights for American citizens who wish to leave the Middle East,” said Dylan Johnson, assistant secretary of state for global public affairs. The Middle East war has caused major disruption in commercial air travel in the region. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the State Department “is actively working on plans to help Americans in the Middle East return home.” She said U.S. citizens in the region should register at step.state.gov. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a March 3 presser that to date, 9,000 Americans have been able to leave the Middle East since the start of the war with Iran. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-arranging-charter-military-flights-americans-middle-east A report from Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich suggests that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Senate testimony earlier this week defending a massive $200 million immigration ad campaign may have been the final straw that pushed President Donald Trump to remove her from the post. According to Heinrich, Trump was reportedly furious after learning that Noem told lawmakers on Capitol Hill that the president had approved the costly advertising effort, an assertion the White House now says is not true.
