Ethan Klein says human skulls were mailed during CPS visit and FBI launched investigation
Klein said the situation began in early March, when CPS arrived after an anonymous tip claimed his child was 'crawling around and eating dog feces.' He noted that the CPS officer suggested the report may have come from someone familiar with the family. Klein responded that it's easy to impersonate someone online, making false reports difficult to trace.
Around that time, the family received two unidentified human skulls by mail, prompting an FBI investigation. 'We had a very pleasant interview with the FBI,' Klein stated, adding that the situation had escalated beyond the usual bounds of online trolling and harassment.
Alongside the CPS and FBI developments, Klein also addressed criticism from YouTuber Ian 'iDubbbz' Carter, whose recent Content Cop video targeted Klein. In his response titled My Response to iDubbbz, Klein called the hour-long feature 'poorly researched' and 'desperate,' questioning why he was singled out more harshly than others and accusing iDubbbz of compromising his values for relevance.
As of now, iDubbbz has not publicly responded to Klein's video.
Klein said the experience highlights how internet conflicts can spiral into real-world threats, moving 'well past the point' of typical online drama.

Stories of terrorism
Listen to article I was once a graduate student in a Texas university and later for a brief period of time a PhD candidate here at the University of Houston. During lectures and discussion sessions in class, every time the issue of terrorism would come up, people sort of paid attention to what I had to say because the killing of Osama bin Laden had just happened a few years ago. And everyone knew that I was from Pakistan. The leading newspapers at the time dedicated an enormous amount of space to stories of terrorism, Taliban, Al Qaeda, and so forth mostly having a connection with Pakistan. While that reporting has died down with time, what has rather emerged recently is the most bizarre and direct connection that terrorism always has had with either the CIA or the FBI. I have written in this space back in March that the cult leader Charles Manson and the notorious Manson family murders had a CIA connection. The CIA wanted to understand the extent of how much a human being could be converted into a human robot, where it would follow the command to go and kill innocent people without thought or remorse. Theodore John Kaczynski aka Ted Kaczynski aka Unabomber went from being a Harvard genius to a terrorist that killed innocent people because of the extreme methods his mind was subjected to by the CIA as part of what was called Project MKUltra. We all know who the makers of Al Qaeda are and how Bin Laden was treated as a hero while he was fighting against the Soviets in Afghanistan. The 90s decade is very interesting. Sheikh Omar Abdul Rehman, the blind cleric who ran away from Egypt, indoctrinated young Muslims in New York and New Jersey areas, to attack America. Ramzi Yousaf and his friends executed a bomb attack targeting the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993. Two days later, in Texas, the FBI unleashed an attack against a religious cult known as Branch Davidians. At the end of the 51-day siege, the FBI ended up killing innocent people, including 21 children. This Waco siege made one former US soldier, a Gulf War veteran, extremely angry at the federal government for its tyrannical tendencies and actions against private citizens. His name was Timothy McVeigh. He decided to take revenge. Two years after the Waco debacle, McVeigh bombed a federal building in Oklahoma city, killing 168 people. This remains the deadliest act of domestic terror in US history. McVeigh was arrested, tried, and killed by lethal injection on June 11, 2001. That was three months before the most famous terrorist attack of our time. McVeigh's case was handled with sheer alacrity and the case was ended creating a foul smell of a cover-up. There was an accomplice of him, which was never identified or found. It has been 30 years since that deadly terrorist attack and no effort has resulted in unmasking his identity. There is a video of the actual bomb delivery when McVeigh and his accomplice were carrying out the attack. That video has never been shown. It wasn't even shown at the trial of McVeigh. It only makes common sense for an investigative agency to get to the bottom of the story and find all those involved in the most deadly domestic terrorist attack of the nation's history. And that is when it all starts to smell of a cover-up. The Epstein story smells of the same cover-up. The man is said to have killed himself in a jail cell and everything just was accepted on its face. Epstein's brother, however, hired a private investigation, which disagrees with the findings of the government that Epstein hanged himself in his jail cell awaiting trial. I guess we will never know the truth of so many of these things. But in every story of terrorism, people should only look at the CIA and FBI, not just to find the truth and safeguard the nation but also to ask, "Do you have something to do with this one too?"

Bill and Hillary Clinton subpoenaed in Epstein investigation
A House Oversight Committee investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case has intensified, with Chair Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) issuing subpoenas to former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, along with nearly a dozen other former federal officials. The Clintons are scheduled to provide depositions in October—Hillary on the 9th and Bill on the 14th—as part of the committee's effort to examine the federal government's handling of sex trafficking enforcement and Epstein's prosecution. Also subpoenaed are former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, and six former U.S. Attorneys General, including Merrick Garland, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, and Alberto Gonzales. Comer's committee is demanding that the Department of Justice hand over all Epstein-related files, unredacted, by August 19. In a letter accompanying the subpoenas, Comer emphasized that the investigation stems from significant public interest in the circumstances surrounding both Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking and related crimes in 2021, was recently interviewed by federal officials in Florida before being transferred to a more lenient correctional facility in Texas. Her legal team is currently appealing her conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court, citing a prior plea agreement with Epstein. Comer noted that the probe's goal is to ensure transparency in how the DOJ handled Epstein's case, especially following a controversial July 6 memo released under the Trump administration. The memo concluded there was no evidence of an Epstein "client list" or that the financier blackmailed influential figures, despite Epstein's known ties to celebrities, politicians, and business leaders. Bill Clinton, who reportedly traveled aboard Epstein's private jet, the "Lolita Express," has denied any involvement in or knowledge of Epstein's criminal activity. Hillary Clinton has also not commented publicly on the matter. The committee's wide-ranging probe continues to spark debate, particularly given its timing and scope. Depositions of other subpoenaed officials are scheduled throughout August and September, with figures like Barr, Gonzales, and Garland expected to testify in the coming weeks.

Police raid Neon's livestream with Iggy Azalea after swatting and illegal gambling allegations
A livestream hosted by controversial internet personality Rangesh 'N3on' Mutama, better known as Neon, was abruptly interrupted on August 4, 2025, after a reported swatting incident led police to raid the show mid-broadcast. Australian rapper Iggy Azalea was a guest on the stream, which aired on Kick. Clips circulating online show uniformed officers entering the set as the broadcast continued live. Several individuals were reportedly detained at the scene amid accusations of illegal gambling activities occurring during the show. However, whether these allegations are valid or part of the swatting hoax remains unclear. Multiple people were arrested on Neon's stream with Iggy Azalea after they were swatted over suspected illegal gambling 👀 — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) August 4, 2025 Swatting is the act of falsely reporting an emergency to provoke an armed police response — a serious federal crime that has affected numerous streamers. In this case, the tip-off allegedly included claims of unlicensed gambling taking place live. While Neon has a history of online controversy — including a prior swatting incident in 2024 and an arrest in Dubai — this latest disruption highlights rising tensions between livestreaming and public safety. Among the guests on the stream was Iggy Azalea, who has recently ventured into livestreaming and cryptocurrency-related content. Although she appeared on camera during the police entry, there is no suggestion that Azalea was involved in or aware of any wrongdoing. The earliest report of the incident surfaced via a post from user FearedBuck, who wrote, 'Several were detained during Neon's stream with Iggy Azalea after they were swatted due to suspected illegal gambling.' That quote has since spread widely across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, often without attribution or verification. As the footage continues to trend, law enforcement has not released an official statement. Until more reliable reporting emerges, speculation around arrests or confirmed gambling activity remains unverified.
