Scientists Can't Seem To Stop Going Missing Under Mysterious Circumstances

NEW YORK, NY — Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that the city was going to spend a whopping $30 million on his city-run supermarket, with the project expected to take three years to build.

The Justice Department under President Joe Biden didn’t just target pro-lifers for prosecution—it outsourced much of the detective work to pro-abortion activist groups, and even appears to have agreed to help them raise money.

These groups acted like deputized secret police, compiling dossiers on pro-life activists—including personal details like addresses and the names of their children—reporting on their activity to the DOJ, and laying out the roadmap for legal charges against them.

These eye-opening revelations come from the Justice Department under President Donald Trump, which released an exhaustive report Tuesday outlining the way the previous administration weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act to target pro-life protesters. The revelations build on the research from my book, “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government,” fleshing out the exact way in which far-left activist groups dictated policy in the Biden administration.

The report doesn’t just reveal the previous administration’s extreme bias against pro-lifers, but also how abortion activist groups effectively carried out law enforcement functions on the government’s behalf, without any democratic accountability.

The National Abortion Federation

As I noted in “The Woketopus,” the Biden Justice Department appears to have adopted the mindset of the National Abortion Federation, which tracks threats, violence, and incidents of “stalking” at abortion facilities across the country. Little did I know, the federation hadn’t just inspired the Biden administration’s mindset but fed information on potential targets to a federal task force.

Attorney General Merrick Garland resurrected the National Task Force on Violence Against Reproductive Health Care Providers, which he charged with investigating potential FACE Act violations. The task force, mostly staffed by career attorneys from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, developed a close working relationship with the National Abortion Federation.

Sanjay Patel, the task force director, worked with NAF’s security team, and he described the team’s director, Michelle Davidson, as an “MVP” in bringing incidents to his “attention, often in real time, which usually result in an investigation/ prosecution.” Patel regularly communicated with NAF, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and the Feminist Majority Foundation.

By contrast, Patel and his task force mostly kept pro-life groups at arm’s length. According to the report, the Biden DOJ even refused to hand over evidence to pro-life defendants, evidence the office shared with pro-abortion activists.

Dossiers on Pro-Lifers

According to the report, Patel “monitored” pro-life activists for years before charging them. The National Abortion Federation sent him “security reports” or “dossiers” on pro-life activists.

For instance, NAF sent the Justice Department a 135-page report on an Operation Save America convention in June 2021, complete with a conference schedule, lodging, and multi-page dossiers on “anti-choice individuals,” many of whom President Trump would pardon after the Biden DOJ brought FACE Act charges against them. The dossiers contained personal information, such as addresses, photographs of the pro-lifers with their spouses and minor children, names of associates and affiliated ministries, and even driver’s license numbers.

The guide’s information about prior arrests ultimately formed the basis for later FACE Act charges.

The National Abortion Federation informed Patel “in real time” about ongoing protests, “often before local law enforcement could fully respond,” the report states. “At his request, NGOs compiled evidence that ultimately gave rise to search warrants and charges.”

In other words, NAF provided surveillance of pro-life activists, tipped the DOJ off to their activities, and even provided roadmaps for charging documents.

The report even notes that, in the Biden administration, federal prosecutors tried to screen out jurors based on religion. In one email, a prosecutor complained of “a very Catholic magistrate on duty this week” who “was very particular about the bond conditions and not infringing on [defendants’] First Amendment rights.”

Helping Activists Raise Money

Even before Patel worked with abortion groups to target pro-lifers, he had agreed to serve as a reference to help the National Abortion Federation raise money.

In December 2020, NAF’s Security Director Tara Gannon asked Patel if one of his colleagues would agree to be a reference, as the federation was seeking a grant from the Lisa and Douglas Goldman Fund. While Patel first asked his colleague if she would be a reference, he later agreed to do so himself.

NAF sought the grant to “help cover the costs of security activities within our department,” including “travel costs to provide member training—active shooter, bomb threats, domestic violence in a reproductive health setting, etc.”

The fund awarded NAF a $100,000 grant in 2022 for the “Security and Safe Access Program, to help reproductive health clinics and providers counter anti-abortion harassment and violence.”

What Does This Mean?

While law enforcement can and should receive and investigate tips from the public, this report shows that Biden’s Justice Department went much further than following up on reports about wrongdoing.

Throughout its four years, the Biden administration outsourced much of its thought work to the infrastructure of the Left, deputizing radical activist groups that occasionally acted like agents of the state. These activist groups, bankrolled by the Left’s dark money network, called many of the shots in the federal government. This vast influence campaign acted like an octopus, weaving its woke tentacles to control the levers of the federal bureaucracy.

While President Trump has done yeoman’s work to dismantle this influence network, the Left’s infrastructure remains. In fact, many of the woke bureaucrats I exposed in The Woketopus have moved from government back to the leftist NGOs from whence they came. In other words, the Woketopus remains a threat, and a potential future Democrat administration may seek to resurrect the same cozy relationship with the Left.

A recent report that police were called to the home of gubernatorial candidate Amy Action during a 2019 “domestic dispute” is raising questions as the election race heats up in Ohio.

Over the weekend, NBC News reported that Ohio’s former health director shattered a mirror pulled off the wall during a “verbal argument” with her husband.

Acton, who ran the Ohio Department of Health at the time, admitted to Bexley, Ohio, police that she had been drinking. The police report stated the verbal argument was over “her extended work hours” and that there was no evidence of physical violence.

That incident is sparking chatter in Ohio and elsewhere as she runs for governor.

Ohio Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou told The Daily Signal it’s a story that will “be in the minds of the voters.”

The story not only attracted the attention of many Ohioans, but also Donald Trump Jr., who referred to Acton on X as a “Leftwing psychopath.”

Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for governor as a Republican, reposted Trump’s comment to his account, as did his pick for lieutenant governor, state Sen. Rob McColley.

NBC News reported that Acton’s campaign “disputed and sought to clarify several elements of the police report,” pointing out that she had one drink at dinner. During the incident, Acton “bumped into a wall hanging which fell,” the campaign told NBC News.

ABC News 5 spoke with Acton’s pick for lieutenant governor, David Pepper, who called the public reaction “sort of a desperate attempt to try and tear Amy Acton down.” Pepper characterized the situation as “a simple argument.”

Matt Dole, a crisis public relations consultant, told The Daily Signal that the Acton campaign so far has delivered “a brutally bad crisis communications response.”

He specifically took issue with the lack of transparency from the Acton campaign, noting that Pepper is taking the one responding.

“The first rule of crisis communications is to be transparent, because the cover-up becomes worse than the original crime,” Dole said.

He added that he would have advised Acton to share the story on the day she was announcing her run for governor, so “when it came out, it wouldn’t have been a big deal.”

Gov. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, whom Acton worked under as health director, apparently did not know about the incident prior to the news report.

“Governor DeWine was unaware of both the 2019 incident and associated police report involving Dr. Acton,” Dan Tierney, the governor’s spokesperson, said in a statement. “The governor holds his staff to the highest standards of conduct. Given that the allegations in the report are deeply troubling, Governor DeWine would have expected Dr. Acton to have at that time promptly disclosed this to him, and he is very disappointed that it did not occur.”

DeWine told ABC News 5, “I don’t know what happened. I was not there. The only thing that I have said is that I wish she had reported that to us, just the police coming to a house, whatever the facts are.”

Pepper said he did not see a need for Acton to have made the dispute public. “I think most people, when they have a private personal argument with their spouse, aren’t necessarily telling their boss about that,” he said.

Dole said in not disclosing it, “she has now made it an issue in this campaign.”

“If she had disclosed it to DeWine or disclosed it on the day she announced, it would not be an issue in the campaign,” Dole predicted.

The Acton campaign has not responded to The Daily Signal’s request for comment.

Triantafilou told The Daily Signal that Acton “should have” told DeWine, and that “Ohioans should be very alarmed” she didn’t.

“The question is, what else is she hiding from Ohioans at this point,” he added.

Triantafilou also took the opportunity to praise the likely Republican nominee.

“We think we’ve got a far better candidate in Vivek Ramaswamy,” Triantafilou said. “Our candidate is working extraordinarily hard, is going to be very well-funded, and I think there ought to be a robust conversation here about who ought to lead Ohio.”

Dole said Acton’s response speaks to her experience: “All of this points to what we know of Amy Acton. She is not a politician, and she is not ready for prime time.”
