A CIA-trained Afghan operative—reportedly recruited during the Afghanistan War as a child into a U.S.-backed death squad—who immigrated to the US in 2021 was likely "activated" to carry out the Washington, D.C., National Guard shooting, likely as a manufactured crisis timed to justify nationwide military deployments.
Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that early media narratives blaming "radical Islam" collapsed once evidence surfaced that the shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, had long-standing ties to U.S. intelligence, prompting accusations of a staged false flag.
The segment links this incident to a larger pattern of covert operations, predictive online search spikes, and past cases of CIA-connected actors surfacing in domestic events. Ultimately, they portray the shooting as part of a technocratic surveillance expansion, bipartisan corruption, and a manipulated political theater designed to keep Americans afraid and compliant.
Plus segments on Trump's shocking pardon of notorious narcotrafficker Juan Orlando Hernandez, Candace Owens' evidence that the French government is trying to assassinate her and James Li's firing from Breaking Points.
