The ‘very fake news’ scandal that is engulfing CNN inside and outside the left-wing network now reaches its highest levels as even CNN president Jeff Zucker is personally involved in the internal investigation into a now-retracted hit piece, sources inside CNN with direct knowledge confirmed to Breitbart News.

EDITOR’S NOTE: For 9 months now, CNN and the rest of the very fake news media have willingly and deliberately colluded together to promote the false narrative of Donald Trump and the Russians working together to “hack” the elections. There is not now nor has there ever been one, single shred of evidence to support this. With the publishing and subsequent retraction of the 100% false anti-Trump story about Anthony Scaramucci, the very foundation on which CNN rests is crumbling at their feet. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people.

Meanwhile, Senate Democrats find themselves on the hot seat as insiders point to leftist staff for members like Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Kamala Harris (D-CA) as being responsible for the thinly-sourced hit piece. Staff for Harris deny any involvement, but Warren staff have not responded.

These new revelations come on the heels of a BuzzFeed News report citing internal sources at CNN calling the decision to print the “very fake news” hit piece on President Donald Trump and his associates that inaccurately alleged they were under Senate and Treasury investigation—a piece a Breitbart News investigation forced CNN to retract—a “massive, massive screw up.” BuzzFeed’s Jon Passantino reported that CNN sources told him that Zucker is “directly involved” in the matter now, as is the head of HR at CNN, and that “people will be disciplined.”

CNN was warned that perusing false Russia-Trump collusion story would blow up in their face:

“Deleting stories without explanation is considered a serious lapse of journalistic ethics,” Passantino and Jim Dalrymple wrote for BuzzFeed on Saturday. “Other outlets, including BuzzFeed, have faced considerable criticism and embarrassment for deleting content. And while CNN deleted its story, a cached version was still available online because nothing ever truly disappears on the internet.”

CNN has still not officially confirmed to anyone key details about what happened, despite being asked by both Breitbart News and BuzzFeed News, among others.

In addition to Breitbart News’ independent investigation that forced CNN’s retraction, sources close to Trump ally Anthony Scaramucci—one of the Trump associates targeted by CNN in the fake hit piece that inaccurately linked him to a Russian investment fund—confirm that he aggressively pushed back behind the scenes. Within hours of CNN posting the story Thursday evening, Scaramucci had assembled a legal, public relations, and rapid response team, the sources say, which terrified CNN since it knew the story was not solid.

Scaramucci has accepted CNN’s apology, taking the high road as the network withers under scrutiny. But he did tell Fox News’ Howard Kurtz, himself a former CNN anchor, that he was “disappointed” CNN ran the story in the first place since it was a “lie.”

Kurtz served as the anchor of CNN’s Reliable Sources program for more than a decade before he moved to Fox News, and his successor in the CNN show Brian Stelter has emerged as one of CNN’s most ardent defenders while Kurtz and other ex-CNN current Fox News reporters like Ed Henry regularly criticize CNN’s heavily anti-Trump bent.

On Kurtz’s Media Buzz Fox News program on Sunday morning, he and Henry bashed CNN’s chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta—an eventual successor of Henry, who once held that job—for whining that the White House has moved press briefings off television cameras. They said television personalities, especially attention seekers like CNN’s Acosta, seek to use on-camera briefings to advance their careers and get famous by picking fights with White House staff rather than as a tool for journalism.

Stelter, like Zucker, has found himself in the hot seat as this scandal engulfs CNN, a network President Trump has identified as pushing “very fake news.”

Stelter has been unwilling for months to appear on Breitbart News radio on SiriusXM when asked if he would do so to publicly defend CNN, refusing yet again to appear on the program this weekend as this scandal consumes the network. While Stelter did tweet about the retraction on Saturday, he has not been aggressively reporting on CNN’s mistakes here–not mentioning it again since that original Tweet.

Like Stelter, Zucker is currently not willing or able to publicly do interviews defending CNN’s conduct here. Network spokeswoman Emily Kuhn, who continues refusing to answer questions on the matter as a whole, will not provide Zucker for an interview on his role in the investigation when asked if he is courageous enough to defend CNN.

Most editorial staffers at CNN, inside sources say, are embarrassed at the way Zucker has handled himself here — and at the way the network has handled itself generally on this and related matters.

Kuhn similarly has refused to answer questions about which editor or editors were involved in the publication of the very fake news piece, and how many other people in the editorial process allowed this blatantly inaccurate piece that CNN was forced to retract to be published in the first place. It is also unclear what exact discipline is expected to be handed to down to everyone involved. As of this time, it appears reporter Thomas Frank—the one on the now-retracted very fake news piece byline—is still employed by CNN. Frank did eventually on Twitter post the link to the editor’s note about the retraction.

But this is hardly the only problem that Frank presents for the network. Frank’s Twitter account is loaded with leftist activism, not journalism, including political recommendations for the House Democratic conference should they decide to oust House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi has come under fire in the wake of Hollywood-backed Jon Ossoff’s failure to win in the special election in Georgia’s sixth congressional district. Despite record-breaking historic fundraising behind Ossoff—estimates expect the race between Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel will have cost nearly $50 million the majority of which was spent on Ossoff’s behalf, the most expensive House race in history—Handel defeated him. As a result, Pelosi has faced a revolt inside the House Democratic conference as several members including Reps. Seth Moulton (D-MA), Tim Ryan (D-OH) and Kathleen Rice (D-NY) question publicly whether she can continue to lead their party in the House.

CNN’s Frank, the reporter on the byline of this anti-Trump hit piece that has now been retracted, took time out of his Thursday—the day the piece was published—to tweet political advice to House Democrats if they remove Pelosi.

“If #Democrats replace #NancyPelosi they cannot pick a male speaker; horrible optics would enrage the female base and intellectual leaders,” Frank tweeted.

Kuhn, CNN’s corporate spokeswoman, has not responded to multiple inquiries from Breitbart News on whether a CNN reporter providing this political advice via social media to the Democratic Party is acceptable editorial behavior.

What’s more, in addition to all of the above, a key part of the genesis of this very fake news piece is a leftist pipe dream that seemingly originated in the annals of the office of anti-Trump “Resistance” leader Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). The idea that Scaramucci and others would be investigated for “meeting” with executives for the Russian investment fund in question is something Warren and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) pushed now-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to look into before President Trump was inaugurated.

“The matter has been reviewed and determined to be without merit,” a senior Trump administration official told Breitbart News for the original investigation that prompted CNN’s retraction. In other words, Mnuchin looked into the allegations and found that there is nothing to it.

But now reports are surfacing that CNN’s sole source for the hit piece seems to have been a staffer for Warren who was apparently “egged on” by staff for Harris. Harris is a freshman Democrat Senator who has aligned herself with the Warren-led “resist” movement, using congressional hearings to increase her profile nationally by arguing with Trump administration officials. While Warren’s team is not responding, Harris’s office denies the reports. Warren’s office has not responded to requests for comment on this matter. CNN’s Kuhn has not denied that Warren or Harris staff were involved in the publication of the hit piece the network has retracted. A spokeswoman for Harris, Lily Adams, when sent the above Tweet denied it. “I have never heard of this person but his accusation is 100% false,” Adams said in an email on Sunday, also adding in a follow-up that she is certain that nobody from Harris staff was involved. It is unclear how Adams would know for certain that nobody from Harris’s staff was involved in this matter, as her response came a little over two hours after Breitbart News’ original press request on Sunday morning–and it strains credulity that she was able to ask every single person on Harris’s staff in that timeframe if they had involvement in this matter. source

As Spain Watches While An All-Male Horde Of Foreign Muslim Invaders Violates Its Sovereign Borders, The World Lurches Forward Toward All-Out Global War

The Invasion Of Spain By Muslim Migrants Reveals How Quickly National Sovereignty Can Collapse As The Entire World Moves Toward Permanent Emergency Government

Look around you, the world is not merely experiencing a collection of unrelated crises, it is literally convulsing. The war with Iran is spreading across the Middle East, threatening the Strait of Hormuz, striking American interests and pulling nations like Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and China closer to the battlefield. In Europe, Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is pressing against the borders of NATO, with missiles falling dangerously close to the tripwire that could ignite direct conflict between Russia and the West. Now Spain has watched its sovereign border buckle beneath a reported human wave of tens of thousands of Muslims pouring into Ceuta, followed by another coordinated assault against Melilla. The Middle East is burning, Eastern Europe is exploding, and Western Europe is discovering that an invasion does not always arrive behind tanks—it can come through an abandoned border while a paralyzed government stands helplessly watching.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:6–8 (KJB)

Jesus Christ warned that the closing days would be characterized by “wars and rumours of wars,” with nation rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom. That is precisely the atmosphere now gathering over this sin-cursed world. These wars are no longer contained within neat geographical boundaries. Iran strikes across the Middle East, Russia threatens the security architecture of Europe, China arms Tehran while watching Taiwan, and great movements of desperate people are being weaponized against weakened Western nations. Every border is becoming a pressure point, every military alliance a potential tripwire, and every regional conflict a possible doorway into something much larger. The world constructed after the Second World War is coming apart before our eyes, and the demons of nationalism, religious hatred, conquest and empire are coming roaring back from the grave.

Matthew 24 is doctrinally aimed at the Jewish people during the time of Jacob’s trouble, but the shadow of that coming period is already stretching across the nations. In fact, it is our position that verses 3-8 can, and do, refer to the end of ther Church Age time period. We are not yet standing in the Great Tribulation, and will be raptured out before it starts, but we are watching the scaffolding being erected for it. The military alliances are forming, the ancient enemies are awakening, national borders are disintegrating, economic systems are straining, and frightened populations are being conditioned to accept emergency rule as a permanent way of life. The coming Antichrist will not rise in a peaceful and prosperous world. He will step forward from the wreckage of a world exhausted by war, overwhelmed by migration, terrified by economic collapse and begging someone—anyone—to restore order.

That is the real prophetic significance of what is happening. Iran, Ukraine and Spain are different flashpoints, but they are all producing the same result: confusion, fear, destabilization and a growing demand for international control. Satan is preparing the sickness before presenting his counterfeit cure. First comes the chaos; then comes the man promising peace. First the nations are shaken; then the world reaches for a ruler powerful enough to control them. First comes the cry for safety; then comes the covenant that will begin Daniel’s seventieth week and lead straight into the time of Jacob’s trouble.

The world is not falling apart randomly, it is falling into prophetic alignment. The actors are taking their places, the ancient nations are moving, and the machinery of global war is grinding into motion. The Church is waiting for the Pretribulation Rapture, Israel is being prepared for the furnace, and the nations are being gathered toward judgment. The headlines are no longer whispering; they are shouting. Iran is burning, Russia is advancing, Europe’s borders are breaking, and the words of Jesus Christ are casting their unmistakable shadow over the entire world.

They Censored NTEB For Questioning Fauci In 2021, Now He Pleads The Fifth As Republicans Use The Spectacle To Hide Trump’s Failing Iran War From Voters

Anthony Fauci Pleads The Fifth More Than 100 Times As Republicans Resurrect The COVID Scandal To Distract Americans From Trump’s Widening Iran War Before The Midterm Elections

Back in June 2021, Facebook began the process of erasing the Now The End Begins Facebook page with 250,000 followers for daring to challenge the official COVID narrative, question the vaccines and expose the alliance forming between government power, pharmaceutical interests and Big Tech censorship. NTEB had spent more than a decade building its Facebook presence, publishing at that time nearly 9,000 articles and King James Bible teachings, only to be branded as ‘dangerous to the community’ for asking questions the political establishment did not want discussed. We were told to sit down, shut up and “trust the science,” while the social-media gatekeepers worked to make dissent disappear. We did not remain silent back then even as we were being unpublished by our social media overlords, and LORD willing, we will never be silent here in 2026.

“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14

Now the man who became the face of that entire operation has returned to Capitol Hill—and suddenly Anthony Fauci has nothing to say. Subpoenaed before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29, Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer more than 100 questions concerning COVID’s origins, American funding of research in Wuhan and whether his private records contradicted his public testimony. Fauci accused Senator Rand Paul of conducting an “unhinged” campaign to put him behind bars, while Paul announced that the committee would vote on holding him in contempt. Fauci had already received a preemptive pardon from Joe Biden covering his government service through January 19, 2025, but his lawyers argued that new testimony could expose him to fresh accusations of perjury. Fauci needs to stand trial, but don’t be fooled as to why this is all happening now.

Republicans are dragging Fauci back beneath the television lights precisely as Donald Trump’s Iran War is widening, American munitions are being consumed, diplomacy is collapsing and Tehran’s regime remains alive and fighting. The United States has resumed heavy strikes against Iran, Iran is again firing toward American forces, Saudi Arabia is striking Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, and what was sold as another display of overwhelming American power is mutating into an open-ended regional war. The Fauci hearing gives conservative media the perfect spectacle to relive the rage of 2020, watch Fauci squirm, and keep Republican voters from staring too closely at the strategic disaster unfolding in the Middle East.

After Americans were censored, suspended, ridiculed and threatened for questioning him, his refusal to answer legitimate questions under oath is historically stunning. At the same time, Republicans must not be permitted to turn Anthony Fauci into a political smoke bomb. Donald Trump placed Fauci before the American people, kept him there, launched Operation Warp Speed and repeatedly promoted the vaccines. Now the GOP wants applause for questioning Fauci while demanding silence concerning Trump’s war. Same stage, different distraction—and once again, the American people are being told where to look and what they are permitted to question. The players will change, but the song remains the same. Anthony Fauci only had power because Donald Trump gave it to him, remember that.

Here On Day 151 Of World War Trump, China Is Now The Official Supplier Of Shoulder-Fired Air Defense Missile Launchers To Iran As The Conflict Greatly Expands

China Moves To Rearm Iran With 400 Shoulder-Fired Missiles As World War Trump Widens Into A Dangerous Global Confrontation With America In The Crosshairs

What you are watching is no ordinary weapons sale, it’s the widening of the Middle East war into a confrontation between the world’s great powers. According to Reuters, Iran could soon receive as many as 400 Chinese-made QW-12 and FN-16 shoulder-fired air-defense systems in a deal worth up to $70 million. America and Israel spent months blasting holes through Iran’s defenses, and now Communist China appears ready to help Tehran fill those holes with hundreds of portable, heat-seeking missiles. Washington drops the bombs, Beijing replaces the weapons, and Iran prepares for the next round. This is how a regional war begins mutating into something much larger and infinitely more dangerous. Welcome to World War Trump where things have been going very badly, and getting worse by the day.

“Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:” Ezekiel 38:5 (KJB)

Do not underestimate these weapons because they are carried on a man’s shoulder. A fixed radar installation can be photographed by satellites, targeted by coordinates and destroyed with a precision strike. A MANPADS team, or Man-portable air-defense system, can hide inside a building, travel in an ordinary vehicle, emerge without warning and disappear immediately after firing. These missiles will not make Iran’s airspace impenetrable or bring down high-flying B-2 bombers, but rather transform the lower skies over Iran into a deadly ambush zone for helicopters, drones, surveillance platforms and low-flying aircraft. Every airbase, missile facility, refinery and command center could suddenly be protected by launchers that American planners cannot easily locate or eliminate.

This is the terrible arithmetic of America’s unfinished war, otherwise known as World War Trump. The United States expends million-dollar missiles and billion-dollar aircraft to destroy Iran’s defenses, while China helps Tehran replace a dangerous layer of those defenses for a comparatively modest $60–70 million. Iran does not have to defeat the United States in the air; it merely has to make every mission more expensive, every flight more dangerous and every strike more politically costly. Tehran is learning from every American attack, dispersing its weapons, hardening its facilities and purchasing exactly the systems needed to complicate the next assault. The longer this war continues, the less Iran resembles the vulnerable target struck at its beginning.

Then comes the China factor. Beijing does not have to fire directly upon American forces to wage war against American power. It can arm Iran, supply dual-use technology, sustain Tehran’s military industry and force Washington to drain its own stockpiles thousands of miles from home. If the reported shipment travels through Pakistan and into Iran, it would reveal the emergence of an eastern military-supply corridor operating beyond Washington’s control. China, of course, has denied the report and Pakistan denies involvement, but if the delivery occurs, the strategic message will be unmistakable: America’s enemies are beginning to replenish one another, the nightmare does not end at Iran’s borders. Portable missiles can be hidden, transported and transferred far more easily than large air-defense batteries. If even a fraction of these weapons eventually reached Iranian proxy forces, American troops, Israeli aircraft and civilian aviation throughout the region could face a whole new level of danger. Once these systems are dispersed, tracking every launcher will become virtually impossible, and Iran will have gone from surviving to thriving. How can that be? Because your King James Bible declares that Iran is a major power in the last days, that’s how.

Jesus warned that the closing days would be marked by “wars and rumours of wars,” and we are watching the machinery of those wars being assembled before our eyes. America strikes Iran. China rearms Iran. Russia strengthens its relationships across the East. Israel prepares for another attack, while every ceasefire becomes merely a pause to reload. These are not isolated headlines anymore, they are pieces of a rapidly forming global alignment. World War Trump has lit the end times fuse, the weapons are moving, and the nations, and the kingdoms, are busy choosing their sides. Exactly how the prophets say that it will be in the last days.
