High-Ranking Air Force Officer Admits to Taking Highly Sensitive Classified Material, Storing at Home: Report

A high-ranking officer in the United States Air Force has reportedly admitted to federal investigators that he took extremely sensitive classified material and illegally stored it at his home in Florida.

Robert Birchum retired from the Air Force in 2018 as a lieutenant colonel after working at the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), Special Operations Command (SOCOM), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).


The Daily Beast reported that Federal law enforcement officials were tipped off in early 2017 that he had a flash drive at his home that contained classified material that, if released, “could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security of the United States.”


Investigators recovered 135 classified files at his home that were marked Top Secret, Top Secret/ACCM (Alternative Compensatory Control Measures), Secret, and/or Confidential, the report said. Investigators later found an additional 117 classified files on a personal hard drive that he kept during an overseas deployment and 28 classified paper documents in a storage unit.

There's Something Very Bizarre About What Was Just Discovered.. (Secret Mystery On Mountain)

Image
 Apparently, a rare event occurred in California just two days ago—a tornado tore through a shopping center in Scott Valley, an unusual phenomenon for the region, as tornadoes are extremely uncommon in California. While this alone is a compelling story, it leads to something even more intriguing. The tornado not only caused damage to the shopping center but also led to the closure of a specific road: Mount Hermon Road. This detail caught attention, especially considering a recent unrelated event involving Mount Hermon. Just a week ago, news emerged of Israel taking control of Mount Hermon from Syria. The coincidence of these two events—one involving a rare tornado in California and the other a significant geopolitical development in the Middle East—adds a layer of curiosity to the story. It raises questions about the name connection and the unusual alignment of events occurring within such a short time frame.

Sen. Tom Cotton Presses Pentagon to Preserve Records on Border Wall Material Sales

Image
Republican Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has sent a formal request to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding that the Department of Defense (DoD) preserve records related to the sale of unused border wall materials. Cotton’s letter comes amid growing scrutiny over the Biden administration's decision to auction off these materials at low prices, a move that has sparked political controversy ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s anticipated second term. Background on the Issue The Biden administration halted construction of the U.S. southern border wall upon taking office. Last year, Congress authorized the disposal of unused border wall materials under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) . Since then, the administration has been selling the materials through auctions, often at significantly reduced prices. This decision has faced backlash from Republicans who view the sale as an attempt to undermine border security policies. Cotton’s Requests In his letter, Cotton urged...
