National
Authorities Find 18,000 Pounds Of Toilet Paper In Stolen Semi-Trailer Truck
Andrew Gillum Hires High-Powered Attorney To Take Down Graphic Overdose Photo
North Carolina authorities have launched an investiga- tion into a stolen 18-wheeler that was reportedly carrying nearly 18,000 pounds of toilet paper.
The Associated Press re- ports that Guilford County Sheriff's officers discovered the cargo Wednesday, after they spotted the semi-trailer truck traveling on Interstate 40 in Whitsett, just east of Greensboro. Officers report- edly followed the truck to a warehouse off the highway and quickly determined the vehicle was stolen. It's unclear why authorities pursued the truck in the first place.
"After further investigation, it was determined the 53' foot Hyundai dry-van trailer was reported stolen locally and was being utilized to transport nearly 18,000 pounds of com- mercial, bathroom paper products ..." the sheriff's office wrote in a statement. "The in-

vestigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made at this time."
Capt. Daryl Loftis told the AP that the products were "legitimate cargo going to a le- gitimate place." He said his of- ficers made sure the items were delivered to their final destination—a business in Greensboro that he could not immediately name. Loftis went on to say that the driver is suspected in the theft of the truck, but would not release the driver's name as the issue of toilet paper supply is "fairly sensitive right now."
Former Democratic gu- bernatorial candidate An- drew Gillum has retained a high-powered criminal de- fense attorney to go after media outlets that published a graphic photo of him lying in his own vomit at a drug- fueled gay sex party.
Gillum, 40, reportedly overdosed in room 1107 at the Mondrian South Beach Hotel on March 13 while par- tying with male escort Travis Dyson, 30, who was treated at a hospital and dis- charged. The controversial photo shows the politician passed out on a pillow and a towel under his lower torso is soiled with feces, per San- draRose.com.
Attorney Alex Spiro
ANDREW GILLUM
has fired off a take-down de- mand to The Floridian Press after using the photo in an article once the Central Florida Post obtained the image exclusively.
“To be clear, The public has no legitimate interest in any such photo, and its re- lease appears to be based not on any such desire to shed light on an important public event, but rather to appeal to the prurient interests of cer- tain members of the public. Moreover, this blatant at- tempt to damage the reputa- tion of a devoted public servant seeking treatment in the midst of a national emer- gency and global health crisis is appalling and demon- strates an utter disregard of decency and the privacy rights of Mr. Gillum and his family. The article is a viola- tion of Mr. Gillum’s rights to privacy and must be promptly removed.”
FBI Confirms White Supremacists Want To Weaponize Coronavirus Against Blacks
White supremacists are encouraging members who contract novel coronavirus to spread the contagion to Blacks, cops and Jews, ac- cording to the FBI.
In a February intelligence brief obtained by ABC News, the FBI’s New York office re- ports that “members of ex- tremist groups are encouraging one another to spread the virus, if con- tracted, through bodily fluids and personal interactions.”
The brief, written by the Federal Protective Service, al- leges these racist groups be- lieve it is their “OBLIGATION” to spread the virus, specifically target- ing “law enforcement and mi- nority communities, with some mention of public places in general.”
According to the brief, these discussions took place on a Telegram app channel that focused on “siege cul- ture.” Extremists want fol- lowers to use tactics such as spray bottles to spread bodily fluids to cops on the street.
The brief is dated the week of Feb. 17-21, about three weeks before the World Health Organization ac-
WHITE SUPREMACISTS
knowledged the coronavirus as a pandemic.
“From pushing the idea that Jews created the coron- avirus virus to sell vaccines to encouraging infected follow- ers to try to spread the illness to the Jewish community and law enforcement, as the coro- navirus has spread, we have observed how white-su- premacists, neo-Nazis and others have used this to drive their own conspiracy theo- ries, spread disinformation and incite violence on their online platforms,” said Michael Masters, head of Secure Communities Net- work, an advocacy group for Jewish organizations and synagogues in the country.
They have also suggested that infected individuals “spend as much time as pos- sible in public spaces with their ‘enemies” and leaving bodily fluids such as saliva on the doors, handles and eleva- tor buttons at local FBI of- fices, as well as spread germs in non-white neighborhoods. “Anti-government folks in America love to target law en- forcement as a symbol of America’s authority,” said Don Mihalek, the executive vice president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association Foundation and an ABC News contributor. “It’s just sad that that’s their focus at a time of crisis in the nation.”
