Terror Plot to Assassinate Trump?
U.S. Government Allegedly Tracks $145 Million a Month in Funding
January 13, 2025

In a shocking revelation, intelligence sources suggest that $145 million per month is being funneled by terror organizations to fund a plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump. According to Sarah Adams, a former CIA targeter and counterterrorism expert, the plot is reportedly being masterminded by Mohammed Kazmi, a senior member of Iran’s IRGC intelligence organization.

The Mastermind Behind the Plot

Kazmi is no stranger to high-profile operations. He allegedly played a key role in planning the devastating October 7 attacks on Israel, which were linked to Hamas, Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban. Now, Kazmi is believed to be orchestrating this assassination plot, dubbed the “Soleimani Plot,” in retaliation for the U.S. strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in 2020.

Adams highlighted that Soleimani wasn’t just a military leader—he was a symbolic figure of the Iranian Revolution. This makes the stakes even higher, as Iran’s retaliation is expected to go beyond a single target, potentially aiming to strike multiple high-profile U.S. symbols or individuals.

An Unprecedented Amount of Funding

The $145 million per month being allocated to this operation raises alarm bells. This is not a small, rogue effort—it reflects a coordinated, well-funded campaign. As Adams noted, such an enormous financial commitment likely indicates that the plot extends beyond one assassination attempt. "They’re planning something bigger," she said, emphasizing the need for vigilance.

Connections to October 7 and Beyond

The same network that orchestrated the October 7 attacks is allegedly involved in this plot. These attacks, which killed thousands in Israel, were planned and trained for in Afghanistan with the support of the Taliban. Adams’ report highlights how terror groups, emboldened by the Biden administration’s continued aid to Afghanistan, are now shifting their focus toward high-impact operations in the West.

Why the Silence?

Despite these disturbing findings, there’s been little public acknowledgment from the U.S. government. Adams pointed out that Kazmi, the alleged mastermind, isn’t even on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. This silence raises questions: Is the U.S. government downplaying the threat, or are they quietly working to thwart the plot behind the scenes?

What’s at Stake?

If this plot comes to fruition, it could have catastrophic consequences—not just for the former president, but for the nation as a whole. The implications of an attack on U.S. soil, particularly one targeting a former president, would be enormous, potentially sparking a wider conflict and shaking the country’s confidence in its security systems.

Urgent Action Needed

This isn’t just about politics—it’s about national security. The Biden administration must take immediate steps to address this growing threat. That includes cutting off any funding streams that could be exploited by terrorist organizations and taking decisive action to target the masterminds behind these operations.

With $145 million a month fueling this plot, the clock is ticking. The U.S. cannot afford to ignore the signs—or the consequences could be devastating.


What do you think? Should the U.S. government do more to address these threats and cut off funding to terror groups? Share your thoughts below.

Good Evening From Guam

It’s not often I get to go to places that are beautiful and safe so I’m enjoying it while it lasts especially considering my next trip is to Syria!

I started watching the Hot Zone soon after the war started on October 7th, I just appreciate a honest Christian perspective with Chuck, I believe his military background helps him with his reporting. I’m a 76 year old female, so this You Tube thing isn’t exactly up my alley, but I’ve learned a lot, most of the time I’m not able to watch “live” but I do watch! I have a son in the military, who was deployed twice to Iraq, and is about to deploy again to the Middle East, which is scary to me, but I trust God will take care of him and his soldiers and bring them back safely. Thank you Chuck for keeping me informed, God Bless you 🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱🙏

Gaza in Flames, Iran on Notice, and U.S. on Edge: The Global Chessboard Is Heating Up

Reporting from the frontlines of freedom isn’t always grim and muddy. Sometimes, it’s overlooking the stunning turquoise waters of Guam — a strategic hub that’s quickly becoming a launchpad for America’s next big military moves. But make no mistake, the tropical paradise masks the storm clouds gathering across the globe, especially in the Middle East.

Why I’m in Guam

This island isn’t just a military stronghold — it’s a front-row seat to the growing threat of war with China. The U.S. is surging thousands of troops into the region, preparing for the worst. Meanwhile, I’m here covering the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima, and we’ll be bringing you powerful stories from WWII veterans who helped shape the world we live in.

Let’s get right to it.

Gaza: Israel Hits Back, Hamas Cornered

After weeks of relative quiet, Gaza is back under heavy fire — and this time, it’s different. Israel has reportedly destroyed over 100 of those shiny white Toyota trucks paraded around during hostage swaps, tracking them since the so-called "ceasefire." The gloves are off.

In Rafah alone, IDF detained 30 operatives and killed 20 more overnight. The message is clear: Israel is not playing games. They're even floating a plan to push all Gazans into a tiny strip along the beach — a controversial and, frankly, desperate move from a nation that’s had enough of playing defense.

The people of Gaza? Some are waving white flags. Literally. Civilians are surrendering to IDF forces, signaling they’re fed up with Hamas using them as human shields.

Meanwhile, Hamas released a chilling "proof of life" video featuring two hostages begging Israel to stop the bombing. It’s emotional propaganda, and Israel knows it. They remain firm: no more training terrorists by rewarding hostage-taking.

Iran: The Fuse Is Lit

Western nations are telling their citizens to evacuate Iran immediately. That’s not fearmongering — it’s a flashing red light. U.S. surveillance drones are sweeping the skies, target packages are being prepared, and contingency plans are being dusted off.

President Trump gave Iran two months to come to the negotiating table. Tehran’s response? A hard “no.” But privately, they’re begging for back-channel talks — classic delay tactics. Iran hopes to ride this out, but that clock is ticking.

Make no mistake: if Trump doesn't respond, it’ll look like weakness. And I don’t think he’s going to let that happen.

Hezbollah, Syria, and Lebanon: Still in the Crosshairs

The IDF is also lighting up southern Lebanon, killing high-value Hezbollah commanders. They’re striking targets in Syria — again — including the T4 airbase and Palmyra. Israel's not waiting for the next attack; they’re hitting first.

In Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), Israeli forces are cracking down on terror cells and confiscating weapons daily. One 78-year-old Israeli was gunned down in a shooting attack. The IDF responded the same way they always do — swiftly and decisively.

Houthis: Clowns with Rockets

The U.S. has been striking Houthi positions in Yemen — eight airstrikes in 24 hours — but let’s be honest: it's not enough. The Houthis are still firing at Israel. We need shock and awe, not pinpricks in the desert.

And now, the big leak: a Signal group chat exposed private conversations between top Trump advisors, including JD Vance and Pete Hegseth, about U.S. strategy. Some of it wasn’t classified — but it sure gave us a peek behind the curtain.

Vance’s comments were... alarming. He seems to think helping our European allies isn’t worth it. But folks, this isn’t about helping Europe — it’s about maintaining global stability and protecting American interests. If we lose control of freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, we lose a whole lot more than shipping lanes.

 

Stay tuned, folks. The next few weeks could shape the next few decades.

Is the U.S. About to Bomb Iran?

Western nations don’t sound the alarm without reason. And right now? They’re telling their citizens in Iran to get out. Fast. France is one of several countries urging evacuation, and when you connect the dots, it paints a clear picture: Something big is about to go down.

For the first time, the U.S. may be preparing to strike inside Iran itself—not just against its proxies. Why? Because Iran’s fingerprints are all over the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and Israel. And a bombshell report from the National Council of Resistance of Iran (an exiled opposition group) confirms what many already suspected: The Iranian regime is personallyoverseeing the Houthis' political and military operations.

 American drones have been actively conducting surveillance missions over strategic sites in Iran. That’s not routine. That’s target prepping.

You don’t run thousands of high-resolution images through analysis software for fun. You do it to create a target package. Refueling tankers are going up. Regional partners are quietly being briefed. The U.S. isn’t just rattling sabers—it’s pulling them out.

To avoid open conflict, Iran is trying to de-escalate—releasing a French hostage, for instance. But that won’t be enough. President Trump made it clear: Another Houthi attack on Israel equals an Iranian attack. And the Houthis fired again. The fuse has been lit.

So if you’re in Iran—and your government or embassy tells you to leave—it might be time to listen. Because if missiles do start falling, it won’t be symbolic. It’ll be decisive. And it could change everything in the region.
