ENERGY WARS: Russia Will Shut Flow of Druzhba Pipeline Oil Into Germany
April 22, 2026

Druzhba means ‘friendship’, which is nowhere to be found these days.
Today, Ukraine restarted the flow of Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia through the Druzhba pipeline that it kept shut to further boost the election of Péter Magyar.
Russian oil flowed through the Ukrainian section of the Druzhba pipeline after a halt lasting months, officials said, allowing Hungary to lift its veto on a $105.79 billion EU loan urgently needed by Kyiv https://t.co/QpwcKsvVXepic.twitter.com/mtLtL5qYZt
In exchange for that, the EU was finally able to approve the long-awaited 90 billion Euro loan to Kiev – although it must be noted that both Budapest and Bratislava ‘opted-out’, meaning no Hungarian or Slovak money is part of it.
But there isn’t time to celebrate because, also today, Russia announced that it will close a major oil pipeline into Germany.

“Russia has announced plans to shut the Druzhba pipeline within nine days, cutting the Continent off from Kazakh oil as it faces supply disruption caused by the Iran war.
The planned closure poses a particular threat to Germany, where the Druzhba pipeline supplies 17pc of the crude oil processed by PCK refinery, which provides 90pc of the fuel used by Berlin’s cars.”
This immediately led to the German government having to cut its growth forecast for this year in half to 0.5%.
“The growth downgrade means the country is set for only a modest acceleration from last year’s GDP growth of 0.2pc, rather than a more solid recovery from its long slump.
The PCK refinery, which sits 60 miles north-east of the capital and is one of the largest in the country, is also the biggest supplier of kerosene and heating fuel to Berlin and its airport.”
YIKES! Dirty Sec of State and Candidate for MI Governor Jocelyn Benson Was On Southern Poverty Law Center’s Board When They Allegedly Paid Top “Hate Group” Organizer For Charlottesville Protest Where Innocent Counter-Protester Was Killed
April 22, 2026
The conservative-hating Southern Poverty Law Center appears to be facing some serious charges.
The same “hate group” smear machine that’s spent decades labeling conservatives, Christians, Trump supporters, and patriotic Americans as dangerous extremists has just been federally INDICTED on serious criminal charges.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, a federal grand jury in the Middle District of Alabama returned an 11-count indictment against the SPLC on April 21, 2026. The so-called “anti-hate” organization stands accused of running a massive fraud operation while pocketing hundreds of millions from gullible liberal donors.
Here’s what they’re charged with:
-6 counts of wire fraud
-4 counts of false statements to a federally insured bank
-1 count of conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering
Prosecutors say that between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 MILLION in donated funds to individuals tied to the same extremist groups they publicly claim to be fighting – including the Ku Klux Klan (and United Klans of America), Aryan Nations, the National Socialist Party of America, and other alleged neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations.
FBI Director Kash Patel outlined the case against the SPLC yesterday during a press conference that Elon Musk retweeted:
SPLC funded a large number of false flag “right wing” organizations and events. Total scam. https://t.co/1IzH99Dlt2
After decades of falsely attacking innocent individuals and lying about top news organizations, like the Gateway Pundit, the Southern Poverty Law Center has finally been outed as a totally fraudulent group that allegedly raises funds by lying and deceiving its donors about the same hate groups they’re funding.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is alleged to have used paid informants inside several extremist groups. One of the most high-profile examples of the SPLC’s involvement in paying an informant inside a so-called “hate group” can be found in the indictment.
The statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia, was removed via crane on September 8, 2017.
On August 12, 2017, the nation was shocked to witness the unexpected violence that erupted at the “Unite The Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA. The rally was billed as a call for Americans to come together and defend against the destruction of historic statues by the Obama regime.
Sadly, the “Unite the Right” rally ( the SPLC was allegedly secretly paying an informant to organize) resulted in the death of Heather Heyer, a counter-protester who was allegedly standing against the “hateful” protesters who were fighting to stop the destruction of historic statues in America.
From the SPLC indictment
Curiously, Jocelyn Benson, who is also America’s most crooked secretary of state, was a SPLC board member in 2017 at the time of the violent Unite the Right rally.
Southern Poverty Law Center’s 2017 List of Board of Directors
In 2018, the far-left Democrat operative Jocelyn Benson was elected as Michigan’s Secretary of State after losing her first Soros-funded bid in 2014. Curiously, prior to the 2018 election, Benson’s online profile appeared to be scrubbed, removing any evidence of her ties to the radical SPLC hate group.
Jocelyn Benson, 2017 SPLC Board Member- Unite the Right Rally Aug. 2017
In 2020, Benson oversaw the nation’s most mistrusted elections, while referring to the nation’s most corrupt election as the safest and most secure in history. She has repeatedly lied about “armed protesters” showing up in front of her home after the 2020 election, despite the Detroit Police claiming they saw no evidence that any protesters were carrying weapons. She frequently drones on about the threat of violence in our elections, despite never providing a shred of evidence to support her claims, and was caught red-handed lying to the now-deceased top radio host Frank Beckman during an interview about the windows that were covered to prevent GOP poll challengers from watching the absentee ballots being counted in Detroit on the day after the 2020 election.
MI SOS Jocelyn Benson is a LIAR.
Listen to SOS Benson LYING to the now-deceased WJR talk show host Frank Beckmann about why the windows were being covered during the counting of 2020 absentee ballots in Detroit, at the TCF Center.
Is mastering the art of lying and deceit required to serve on the board of the Southern Poverty Law Center? This level of deceit certainly doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
After President Trump spoke out about the horrific death of a young protester and condemned the violence while explaining that there were “very fine people on both sides” of the argument, including the protesters who were demanding public officials stop allowing historic statues to be torn down, the mainstream media completely twisted his comments to make it appear that President Trump was saying the white supremacists attending the rally were the “very fine people” he was referring to.
When Joe Biden ran for President from his basement in 2016, he was asked about what motivated him to come out of retirement and jump into the race. His answer? The Unite the Right rally…which we now know involved funding of one of the main organizers by the Southern Poverty Law Center, who was claiming to “fight hate groups,” when in reality they were funding them, all the while, they were stoking fear in the hearts and minds of Americans who were being told the white male was the most dangerous person in America.
The “Very Fine People” Hoax just got a major plot twist.
It turns out the Unite the Right group that was involved in Charlottesville was a LEFT-WING FUNDED FRONT GROUP.
Kamala Harris repeated the already debunked lie during a debate against President Trump. The media let it go…

Radical leftists like US Rep Ilhan Omar (D-MN) used fake narratives like the one created in Charlottesville, VA, to push the lie that the “white male” is the most dangerous person in America.
Ilhan Omar: “I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths… We should be profiling, monitoring and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.”pic.twitter.com/EBkelmf91b
It’s unclear how Jocelyn Benson, who is undoubtedly the most unpopular secretary of state Michigan has ever elected (go to her X account and read any of the comments for evidence), plans to win her upcoming bid for governor. Who needs a plan to win an election when you are literally controlling the election yourself?
Tyler O’Neil, author of “Making Hate Pay,” appeared on Real America’s Voice to discuss the SPLC’s stunning grand jury indictment. Will Jocelyn Benson get caught up in the criminal activity as well?
Watch:
BLOWS THE LID OFF THE WHOLE THING
There’s nothing more vindicating than to see the DOJ file criminal charges for corruption along the lines that I revealed in my book. The indictment also exposes how the SPLC was funding a Charlottesville leader.https://t.co/OlqMn7HPfEpic.twitter.com/76EHio8EJ0
In Major Blow to Newsom, Appeals Court Blocks California Law That Banned Masks For ICE Agents
April 22, 2026
In a huge blow to Governor Gavin Newsom, a federal appeals court on Wednesday blocked California’s law that banned masks for ICE agents and required the federal agents to wear ID badges.
A three-judge panel for the Ninth Circuit of Appeals ruled 2-1 that California does not have the authority to regulate federal immigration officials.
The three judges included two Trump appointees and an Obama appointee.
An appeals court on Wednesday blocked California from requiring federal immigration agents to display identification during operations, handing the Trump administration a legal victory over Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit found California overstepped its authority by trying to regulate Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, marking the latest flashpoint in a broader fight between blue states and the federal government over immigration enforcement operations.
The panel of judges, comprising two Trump appointees and one Obama appointee, found California’s No Vigilantes Act violated the Constitution’s supremacy clause, which says that when a state and federal law are in conflict, the latter wins out.
“We conclude that [section 10] of the No Vigilantes Act attempts to directly regulate the United States in its performance of governmental functions,” the panel wrote in an order. “The Supremacy Clause forbids the State from enforcing such legislation.”
California recently banned federal law enforcement officers from covering their faces with masks.
The Trump Administration filed a lawsuit against California and argued the state’s new law violated the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.
US District Judge Christina Snyder, a Clinton appointee, recently agreed with the Trump Administration’s assertion that California’s law violated the Supremacy Clause and temporarily blocked the law.
Earlier this year, at the request of the DOJ, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals expanded the block on California’s ban on masks for ICE agents.
The law requiring federal officers display their ID/badge numbers is now blocked.
California can appeal the Ninth Circuit Court’s decision.
First Assistant US Attorney for the middle district of California Bill Essayli celebrated the win.
Huge legal victory this morning in the Ninth Circuit, where the court permanently enjoined California’s unconstitutional mask law targeting federal agents.

BREAKING: Secretary of the Navy John Phelan FIRED

STATEMENT:
Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan is departing the administration, effective immediately.
On behalf of the Secretary of War and Deputy Secretary of War, we are grateful to Secretary Phelan for his service to the Department and the United States Navy.
Phelan’s departure from the administration comes amid a US Naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
Wednesday’s firing is part of the latest shakeup at the Pentagon.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth earlier this month ordered Army Chief of Staff General Randy George to step down.
Last summer, Hegseth fired the general in charge of the agency that released the dubious ‘top secret’ intelligence assessment about the US’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse was fired as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Last year, Hegseth formally terminated the service of every member sitting on the Department of Defense’s advisory committees.
