InfoWars writer shooting: Austin teen heard implicating himself with crime
The Brief Audio of a teen believed to be involved in the murder of an InfoWars writer in Austin was obtained In the recording, the teen implicates himself with the deadly shooting Four teens have already been arrested in the shooting AUSTIN, Texas - FOX 7 has obtained audio of a teenager believed to be involved in the murder of an InfoWars writer in Southeast Austin in March. In the recording, first reported by Breanna Morello, he is reacting to the news and implicates himself with the crime. Meanwhile, Austin police have already arrested four teenagers in connection to the deadly shooting. It is unclear if the teen heard in the audio recording has been arrested or questioned by Austin police, but it seems he knows information about what happened. However, APD said they are looking into the recording. What they're saying The recorded conversation is between an unidentified woman and an unnamed teen. "The one that I f****, um, the one that threw away recently after the f****, what happened with the reporter, that was a little Taurus. That was like a little Taurus," the teen said. The teen is talking about a gun and a reporter, which is circled back to later in the conversation. "You said your homeboy shot a dude that was a reporter, right?" the woman asked. "Yeah," the teen responded. "Okay, that's what I just said. I said, show me. I don't even know what you're reading. I don't watch the news, dawg," the woman said. "Oh, they made a whole TikTok about it," the teen said. "What's your homeboy's name?' the woman asked, 'I can just look it up from there, right? I can Google him or some s***, Google his name, and it'll show me, right?" "His name is Eloy," the teen said. "What is it?" the woman asked. "Eloy," the teen said. A 17-year-old named Eloy Camarillo has been arrested by Austin police for the murder of InfoWars writer, Jamie White. During the conversation, the teen reads off a news article. "Austin police have released new information regarding the investigation into the fatal of shooting of InfoWars reporter Jamie White. Authorities say White was attempting to prevent a burglary of his vehicle when he was shot outside his southeast Austin apartment Sunday night. If you discover someone breaking into your vehicle, please call 911 said John Jason Jones of APD Homicidal Unit," the teen said. "Damn, what is InfoWars? What is InfoWars?" the woman asked. "I don't know, that's what I'm saying," the teen said. "What the f*** is that s***," the woman said. "I think that's like a, what, like a news channel or something?" the teen said. The teen then alludes to being at the scene of the crime. "But that s*** was crazy. I didn't even expect, we didn't even expect that s***, to like kill someone, I mean I didn't kill him, but my homebody did," the teen said. "Yeah, you just acted like you did, shouldn't have said that. I'll act like I didn't hear it, I'll act like I didn't hear it," the woman said. "We didn't expect that s*** to happen. That s*** happened out of nowhere," the teen said. Dig deeper Police said back in March, four teens were trying to steal White's Kia when he confronted them. That's when White was shot and killed. "This is a very big problem in Austin, and we are trying to do what we can, hold those individuals accountable," Austin Police Homicide Detective Jason Jones said. Camarillo and Rodney Hill, both 17, and two 15-year-olds, have been arrested and charged with capital murder. Court records revealed Camarillo told police Hill was the shooter. When police went through Hill's phone, they found audio recordings of him rapping about White's murder, mentioning his name, and hitting him with a 9. The affidavit stated the rap in part said: "I'm so 5k. White boy came outside. Hit his d*** a** with a 9. F*** with a n**** called Jamie White. His a** should've hit a pipe." What's next "At this time, we do not believe that Jamie was targeted. Instead, we believe this is a very unfortunate and tragic series of senseless events leading to, involving the four individuals who obviously have no value for human life," Detective Jones said. The names and information of the 15-year-olds haven't been released because they are juveniles. The 17-year-olds are still in the Travis County Jail. Hill is being held on a $900,000 bond and Camarillo is being held on $250,000. The Source Information from the Austin Police Department, previous FOX 7 Austin coverage, and an audio recording

Is there really a secret city under Egypt's pyramids?
Two Italian scientists claim to have discovered 38,000-year-old structures buried deep beneath the pyramids. But there's a big reason to be skeptical. Sun above the pyramid of Khafre at Giza Photograph by Christian Heeb, laif/Redux For the past few weeks, the internet has been abuzz with stories about a secret city allegedly located under the Pyramids at Giza. A research team led by retired organic chemist Dr. Corrado Malanga and former academic and remote sensing expert Dr. Filippo Biondi, claim to have discovered and reconstructed enormous 38,000-year-old structures buried deep underneath the pyramid of Khafre at Giza. In a press conference held in Italy, Malanga and Biondi announced that through the development of a new proprietary method for interpreting Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signals, they were able to detect structures two kilometers beneath the Khafre pyramid. According to Malanga and Biondi, they discovered eight shafts, surrounded by spiral pathways, that connect to two 90-meter cube-shaped structures. Above the shafts, they claim to have found five structures connected to one another by passageways. Using what appears to be AI-generated reconstructions, they, and others, have hypothesized that these structures are part of a legendary ancient city or even a prehistoric power-generating structure (i.e. a power station). Rumors of hidden structures underneath the Giza plateau are nothing new. The idea dates to the ancient Greek historian Herodotus and intermittently bubbled to the surface of popular consciousness throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance. They became particularly popular among French scholars in the 19th century and again in the 20th century when American psychic Edgar Cayce popularized the idea that a secret hall of records was buried underneath the pyramid complex. The concept of a power station, allegedly built by aliens, has also been bouncing around pseudoscientific circles for a while. It is part of a broader conspiracy theory that credits impressive ancient architectural projects to aliens. (How cosmic rays helped find a tunnel in Egypt's Great Pyramid.) This newest iteration of the pyramid conspiracy theory has captured public attention because of the scientific credentials of its authors. In the past Malanga and Biondi published a peer-reviewed article on the internal structure of the Khafre pyramid. Though these newer sensational claims have not been peer-reviewed, and one of the authors is well known for publishing books about aliens, the combination of doctorates and an allegedly new technology has captured public attention. The story went viral and was picked up by InfoWars, Joe Rogan, Piers Morgan, and other critics of 'mainstream archeology.' 'These claims were received by a public primed for such news from long time claims of mysterious, hidden chambers under the pyramid,' says Dr. Flint Dibble, a well-respected archeologist and science communicator who has headed up 3-D digital mapping projects for a large excavation at Abydos in Egypt and teaches at Cardiff University. 'And they appeared legit because of the conflation of peer-reviewed research and the degrees that the scholars hold.' But as other experts have pointed out, the problem with the lost city hypothesis is that it uses an unproven technology, takes imaginative leaps in its reconstructions, and fails to account for what we know about the archeology of the region. (Who built the pyramids of Giza?) Shallow Radar Technology To begin with, there are the methods involved in scanning the ground beneath the Giza plateau. As Dibble and public archeologist Milo Rossi have explained, these methods have never been confirmed or proven, nor have they been independently verified. Synthetic aperture radar only detects up to two meters underground in similar conditions. It is difficult to imagine that SAR is providing credible information about structures 2,000 meters beneath the surface. The pyramids of Giza with Cairo in the foreground. Photograph by Alex Saberi, Nat Geo Image Collection To be clear, Malanga and Biondi have not discovered a new way of detecting structures two kilometers beneath the ground; instead they claim to have a new method of interpreting these synthetic aperture radar signals. If one compares the images of the radar signals published in the report with the reconstructions they generated, it is clear how much artistic license is being taken in the interpretation of the images. The technology does not allow scientists to create an entire 3-D model or produce the kinds of cross-sections envisioned in the reconstructions. As Dibble joked with Rossi in one podcast, the reconstruction appears to be based on the reactor room of Total Recall. Alongside public educators like Dibble and Rossi, other established academics have criticized the discovery. Professor Lawrence B. Conyers, an expert in ground-penetrating radar at the University of Denver, told the Daily Mail that the claims of a vast city are 'a huge exaggeration.' Egyptian archeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass, the former Ministry of Antiquities, called the claims 'baseless' and noted that the Egyptian Council of Antiquities did not grant permits for this kind of study to take place in the Khafre pyramid. Summing up the interpretative and practical issues, Dr. Sarah Parcak, an award-winning scholar at the University of Alabama who uses cutting-edge satellite imagery to better improve our understanding of Egyptian archeology, said, 'I could get any satellite imagery to look almost any way I wanted with enough manipulation… I think that's what these guys, they've done. They've misinterpreted the data. And the satellite imagery … SAR data can't see through rock, period.' Water, Water, Everywhere More problematic, Dibble explained, is the study's curious avoidance of all the archeological data about Giza plateau that was painstakingly collected over the past two centuries. All these studies, which utilized geochemical analysis, satellite remote sensing, seismic refraction, muon scans, electrical resistivity tomography, ultrasonic testing, ground penetrating radar, and magnetometry, have been carefully checked against one another and in some instances confirmed through excavation and drilling into the bedrock. The cumulative weight of this evidence has led to a robust understanding of what lies beneath the pyramids, how the pyramids were built, and when they were constructed. The most relevant piece of data here is the water table at Giza. An intensive study performed by Sharafeldin et al in 2019 revealed that the water table at Giza is only a few dozen meters under the surface of the plateau. The proximity of the groundwater, Dibble said, means that even today the Sphinx and other monuments are slowly eroding from water that sometimes 'wicks' up from beneath the ground. What this means for this new study is that if there really were megastructures some 2,000 meters underneath the pyramids, they would always have been part of an underwater city. Think Aquaman's Atlantis, not Amsterdam, Venice, or even the mythical Atlantis that fell into the sea. (Meet the anti-Indiana Jones solving the pyramids' secrets.) In general, water is a critical part of understanding the life course of the pyramids. The pyramids were built soon after the end of the African humid period when greater rainfall meant that the Sahara was more like a verdant savannah. A recent study by Sheisha et al in 2022 showed that during the period of construction the Kufu branch of the Nile extended right up to the Giza plateau, facilitating the transport of the stones needed for the construction of the pyramids. We do not need aliens when we have water.

Now Elon Musk spreads a conspiracy theory over Wisconsin Supreme Court defeat
Elon Musk has helped circulate a conspiracy theory claiming the Wisconsin Supreme Court election was rigged after the candidate he backed was beaten. Liberal judge Susan Crawford, who was backed by Democrats and a Dane County circuit judge, secured a 10-year term over Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County circuit judge who was endorsed by President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser, Musk. The election, although technically nonpartisan, has drawn national attention and at least one conspiracy theory. Republican lobbyist Roger Stone claimed in an interview with far-right InfoWars host Alex Jones that Crawford's campaign was 'illegally financed' by 'millions of dollars of laundered money once again through Act Blue' during a live stream on Musk's X social media platform on Wednesday. Musk responded to a clip shared by Jones by posting 'Hmm', and therefore sharing it with millions of users. The InfoWars broadcaster is known for sharing controversial theories – one of which was a claim that the Boston Marathon terrorist attack in 2013 was staged by the FBI, as reported by NPR. In the interview, Stone went on to declare that a 'ten-page criminal complaint' had been filed against Crawford in the wake of defeat. He insisted that Democrats had one-upped Republicans by mastering 'mail-in ballot collection over a lengthy early voting period' and, thus, could 'accurately forecast how many ballots they need in order to overcome Republican performance on election day,' as per the live stream. 'The fraud was baked in – in the mail-in votes,' Stone said before adding, 'Election fraud is alive and well, and it lives in Wisconsin'. Crawford retained a 4-3 liberal majority and will go on to steer key decisions on litigation involving abortion access, voting rights, and redistricting. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Trump disclosed to his inner circle that Musk would be taking a step back from his political duties as DOGE-lead in the coming weeks. Musk's stint as a special government employee is capped at 130 days, meaning that his time as Trump's special aide will end at the end of May. Trump hinted on Monday that the billionaire would be leaving his administration soon, stating, ' At a certain point, I think it will end.' Yet when the news broke that a senior official had confirmed the world's richest man's departure, Tesla Inc. shares rose. When the markets closed Wednesday, the Tesla share price was up 5.33 percent on Nasdaq. Musk has, however, denied the reported government departure. Musk is due to lead DOGE until the summer of 2026.

Ukraine places actor from Oscar-winning film on ‘kill list'
A Russian actor who starred in Oscar-winning film 'Anora' has been listed on the notorious Ukrainian state-linked Mirotvorets (Peacemaker) database. Mark Eydelshteyn has been accused of attacking 'the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.' The controversial database lists individuals who supposedly pose a threat to Ukrainian national security, and has been branded a 'kill list' due to the number of people featured on it who have died under suspicious circumstances. Eydelshteyn, 23, was listed for a supposed attack on Ukraine's 'sovereignty and territorial integrity' and 'repeated deliberate violation of the state border of Ukraine' by visiting Crimea, which joined Russia in 2014. According to Russian media, the accusation may stem from Eydelshteyn's participation in the movie 'The Land of Sasha,' released in 2022, which was shot on the peninsula. READ MORE: InfoWars journalist 'brutally murdered' The movie, where Eydelshteyn played the lead role, propelled the actor to international prominence after premiering at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival in 2022. Last year, Eydelshteyn starred as Ivan 'Vanya' Zakharov in US director Sean Baker's film 'Anora', a performance that contributed to the movie's critical acclaim, including winning the Palme d'Or at the 77th Cannes Film Festival and securing five Oscars at the 97th Academy Awards in March. Created in 2014, Mirotvorets was initially backed by Anton Gerashchenko, a former adviser to the Ukrainian interior minister, and has partnered with the nation's security services. While the moderators of the website claim it is merely a list of individuals considered enemies of Ukraine, the state-linked site has become known as a 'kill list' after several people on it died under suspicious circumstances, often attributed to Ukrainian intelligence. READ MORE: Russian actor misses out on historic Oscar Mirotvorets claims that it operates in accordance with the laws of Ukraine and international legal norms. However, its front page features calls to kill Russians and displays graphic images of deceased soldiers alleged to be Russian. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has described the extremist site as effectively a hit list of those Kiev wants to 'eliminate.' The list has included US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and prominent American journalist Tucker Carlson.
