Covert elites who REALLY control America: Powerful figures (you've never even heard of) quietly steering all our lives... and what they plan next
For centuries, secretive elites have been accused of manipulating world events from behind velvet curtains — from the Freemasons of medieval Europe to the 18th–century Illuminati, the elusive Bilderberg Group, and the billionaire–studded World Economic Forum. These groups have long fueled paranoia, protests, and whispers of sinister agendas — shadowy puppet–masters steering wars, currencies, pandemics, and minds.

Watch live: Noem testifies before House on DHS budget
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem is set to testify before a House panel on Wednesday morning on the fiscal 2026 budget for the department. Noem has vowed to significantly limit the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is becoming a significant force behind President Trump's sweeping immigration crackdown. On Tuesday, she also advocated for Democrats to be censured who attended a protest in New Jersey outside of a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. The Trump administration has also threatened possible legal action against the lawmakers and Newark, N.J. Mayor Ras Baraka. The House Homeland Security Committee hearing comes a day after the first federal judge gave the administration a green light to continue deportation flights to El Salvador under the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act for immigrants with alleged links to gangs. Trump's budget proposal, unveiled earlier this month, would provide DHS with $43.8 billion in additional anticipated reconciliation funds. The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT. Watch the live video above.
