## Resource

CannCon and Alpha Warrior bring the Thursday show with Alpha fresh off his son's high school graduation and the news fully loaded. The DOJ opens a criminal perjury investigation into E. Jean Carroll over her deposition lie about Reid Hoffman funding her lawsuit, and Alpha argues the Chicago venue choice signals prosecutors from the original New York case may themselves become targets. Former CIA senior officer David Rush is charged with stealing 300 gold bars worth $40 million from a storage unit near his office, along with $2 million cash and 35 Rolexes, after lying about his credentials on three applications over 20 years. Alpha connects it to Operation Gladio-style black ops funding and says this is a much bigger story than most people recognize. Retired General Neil McCasklin vanishes after a dinner where a witness says he was not himself, and Alpha argues his voluntary disappearance into protective custody makes more sense than a kidnapping given the missing scientists pattern and his documented UFO clearance. Jill Biden tells CBS she thought the debate was a stroke, then the same clip shows her cheering Joe on afterward. Biden sues the DOJ to block his 2017 ghostwriter audio tapes. Alpha and CannCon lay out the full timeline: auto pen pardon challenge before the midterms, big arrests after.
