JASON ALDEAN TAKES OUT BLM PROTEST CLIP FROM ‘SMALL TOWN’ VIDEO
Sources connected to the music video production tell TMZ … back when they were producing the video, the company that produced it reached out to FOX on May 8 and asked for permission to use the 6 seconds of video shot by FOX 5 Atlanta … showing violence at a BLM rally.
We’re told the folks at FOX asked for more information … specifically the lyrics of the song. We’re told the production company sent FOX a link to the song — which was released May 19 — but the protocol was to send the lyrics in writing, which they never did.
Our sources say a week ago, FOX reached out to the production company and asked them to remove the video to avoid any legal action — which was described to us as a “polite ultimatum” — and the production company complied.
So the new, edited video has actually been online for an entire week before anyone noticed.

Tony Daniel Klein, 38, of Clackamas County, was convicted of 17 counts of depriving women of their constitutional right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment by sexual assault, the Department of Justice said in a news release Tuesday.
“Tony Klein used his position of authority to prey on women in custody who were in a uniquely vulnerable position,” said Natalie Wight, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon. “He further led his victims to believe they had no power to resist or report his abuse.”
During the two-week trial, 17 women testified that Klein touched them inappropriately during medical appointments or as they cleaned the prison infirmary – some of them adding that he forced them to have sex. Other women said they were afraid of disciplinary actions if they refused his advances.

Hungary to receive Israeli high-tech radars
The Hungarian armed forces will replace its Soviet radars this year with EL-2084 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars manufactured by Israel’s ELTA Systems Ltd., daily Magyar Hírlap reports.
Hungary signed a contract for the delivery of 11 ELM-2084 radars at an undisclosed value; the radars have been produced by ELTA in Israel since 2010. One EL-2084 unit — consisting of a radar unit, a control module, a cooling unit and a power generator — costs between $12 million and $15 million, depending on the size of the order.
According to press reports, Rheinmetall Canada will adapt this equipment to the needs of NATO and the Hungarian Defence Forces.
The first units are expected to arrive in 2023 and enter service in 2024. If the companies meet their production and assembly deadlines, one of the world’s most advanced locators will be reinforcing Hungary’s defenses by the middle of next year.

Iranian Regime Alarmed by Surging Resistance Units
The comments, an obvious sign of rattled nerves, followed a series of similar pronouncements by the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), highlighting the mullahs’ growing apprehension over the momentum displayed by small teams of organized dissidents operating in various cities to inspire protests and lead anti-regime activities.
On July 2, the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quoted a detailed an Intelligence Ministry report that listed numerous Resistance Unit activities in the cities of Kelar Abad, Salman Shahr, Abbas Abad, and Tonekabon in the north, and Behbahan and Gachsaran in the south. The statement gloated about arrests across Tehran, Isfahan, Gilan, and Mazandaran provinces, as well as Kish Island.
“Significantly,” the intelligence report read, “members of these cells all had a history of sabotage during the riots of the fall of 2022, and several of them were imprisoned. Unfortunately, after their release from prison, they resorted to sabotage activities once again.”

Farage Brings Down Second Bank Boss: Coutts CEO Resigns in Wake of Debanking Scandal
Peter Flavel, the now former boss of Coutts, the prestigious bank which terminated Farage’s business and personal accounts and which is a part of the NatWest Group said that while he was “exceptionally proud” of his leadership of Coutts, nevertheless “we have fallen below the bank’s high standards of personal service” and that “As CEO of Coutts it is right that I bear ultimate responsibility for this, which is why I am stepping down.”
The move may be part of a damage limitation and clearing-out exercise by the interim CEO of NatWest Group Paul Thwaite, who was appointed yesterday after Dame Alison Rose fell on her sword over the same debanking scandal.
The Guardian reports Thwaite said “I have agreed with Peter Flavel that he will step down as Coutts CEO… I believe this is the right decision for Coutts and the wider Group.”

Exclusive—Lynne Patton: The Sound of Truth: Trump Did More to End Human Trafficking Than Any Modern President
To the right of the president sat Tim Ballard, a former special agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the founder of Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), an organization with the mission to rescue and rehabilitate victims of human trafficking.
At the president’s invitation, Ballard was there to discuss the ongoing fight against human trafficking along the southern border.
Turning to Trump, Ballard recounted a heinous story: “They brought this little girl through a part of the southern border where there was no wall. Easily got her to New York City – and this is hard to hear, but it’s the truth – where this little girl was raped for money every day 30 to 40 times a day.”
By the time Ballard left the West Wing later that day, President Trump had appointed him to spearhead his White House Advisory Council to End Human Trafficking.
To date, Ballard and his team have rescued over 3,000 victims, leading to the arrest of 182 human traffickers.
They are now the subject of the unlikely summer box office hit, Sound of Freedom, starring Jim Caviezel as Ballard.
