Hey, everybody, Tim Miller from the Bullwork here with my buddy, Will, Summer of the False Flag newsletter. It's just a duo. Sam's at a children's swim meet or something. Can you believe that Sam is prioritizing his children's well-being over you, the Bullwork YouTube viewers? I'd be upset about that. But don't take it out on us. Subscribe to the feed anyway. Subscribe to the feed. Sam will be back.

We'll get the trio going next week. Will, we had to do this without Sam, though. We just had to. When I heard about the arrest on the mall. And what had happened at the Great American State Fair. I was like, I cannot wait for Sam. I must do this with just will. And so I want to bring this to the people.

So to start, I just, I guess I want to start here. This came to your attention and many people's attention. There was an arrest at the Great American State Fair. And it was a Magna American, an upstanding mega-American named Manny. And Manny, dresses like I'm to Uncle Sam, apparently. And he got detained. and MAGA influencers and commentariat were unhappy. Talk about like what how what the vibe was like related to the world.

Yeah, so, you know, I noticed this last night. I mean, admittedly, this guy is his name Mani. His real name is John Rockettel. But basically he's like a very marginal, you know, MAGA streamer who kind of bounces around DC. One of his big pictures is him. And the Antifa are glowering at him. And he's like, I'm speaking the truth.

And he dresses like Uncle Sam. And so last night, people were saying, You know, there has to have been some mistake. Manny was arrested by the park police at the Great American State Fair. You know, this is a miscarriage. They must have mixed him up with the Antifa that had screwing up the reflecting pool or something. They're always pursuing him. And I was curious.

I assumed it was like, I don't know, he was mouthing off or something. Do we have the free Manny photo? Can we throw that up? Yeah. So it says free Manny, false report, unfair arrest, wrongful detention. And it's a set up not guilty. So I was eager to see. why he was arrested, which would be revealed today.

And it turns out Manny has been accused of masturbating in front of acrobats who were performing at the fair. Masturbating Mani. Yes. He was tugging the old chain. Yeah, I was talking about this with producing choking the bishop. Yeah, cranking the hog, all kinds of things. Yeah, you know, paddling the old. See, it depends on what it is down there.

That's interesting. So, just, it's a weekend content. It's a duo. Paint a picture for me. So Mani is in an Uncle Sam outfit. Yeah, he's in like Uncle Sam outfit, I think, with overalls. And he has shades that have the American flag on them. And he's walking around.

And I will say, I went to the American State Fair today. and I will say there's not a lot of other stuff to do, you know, so, you know, so, you know, maybe I make that argument. So one of the performances is there's this thing called like Cirque. And so it's like, you know, circus performers. And so they have jugglers, they have acrobats, what have you. And so I watched Manny's stream. And he's sitting there watching, you know, the women in leotards and they're hula hooping

and they're all doing all kinds of stuff. And the commenters are like, well, like, whoa, look at that one. or like man he loves a beautiful woman uh and now according to the police what we aren't seeing on the stream is you know some self gratification uh and then a man is you know a group of men troop out to do their acrobatics and he goes uh who cares you know and gets up at least okay so female acrobatts he's watching and he's just having a wank there on the national mall now i haven't worn overalls in a minute. My daughter does sometimes when I put them on. And so I'm trying to

think about the mechanics of this. You don't, you do, you wouldn't have to unbutton a strap of the overall, I would think. At least one in order to kind of get to little manny. Right?

Well, so, you know, it's interesting. Maybe he was, he was supposed to do it through the pockets. And so, you know, overalls I guess have pockets. But he was doing it in an obvious enough way that like four people complained about it. So it wasn't out. So it's kind of the thing where you're sort of rubbing it through the pants.

Okay, rubbing it through the pants and doing it in, wow, a pretty dramatic fashion that if four people saw it. And I was initially I was picturing Uncle Sam. What was the Seinfeld line? It out. Elaine, she was like, and what happened? She's like, he took it out. He's like, he said, what? It out.

So it wasn't out. It was in. It was more subtle than that, but apparently not that subtle. And the other challenges, it's important to keep in mind. There's basically no people at this thing in terms of the audience. And so it's probably an audience of like three or four people watching this. So it's not like he was blending in with the crowd. And of course, he's dressed like Uncle Sam.

Witness 3 was approached by a female member of the acrobat team who had noticed an older white male that was making her and other female performers uncomfortable. They informed me that they noticed him making lewd gestures in his pants. while they were performing. Ah, he was also, this is an interesting little fact from the police report here also. He was vaping and filming. Yes, yes.

Wow. This dude is like, he's like got an octopus arms. He's got a vaping his mouth. He's got his camera. He's having a wink. Camera in the mouth. I don't know what he's doing. Wow.

That's quite the scene. So he watches the acrobats and then he kind of moves to like a different segment. And the fair is kind of broken up by these sponsor things that are run by like truth social or what have you. And so it seems as though he maybe thought he could like kind of just move to a different segment and no one would see him anymore. And he cuts the stream for a while. And then he comes back on and then a cop comes up to him and he says, why don't you step over here? And can we play the video of Manny's final moments on the stream? Oh, please.

Oh, we got one cop. How bad could it be? Oh, oh. Uh-oh. Oh, boy. And, you know, I think there's just a lot of law enforcement and National Guard hanging out. And, you know, they would love to catch a sicko. And so, and that's when he cut the stream.

Well, if you just want to have a little private time, and you're in the Washington, D.C. area, I'd recommend staying away from the Great American State Fair, better places for it than that. I guess the good news is that nobody's going to his fair, you know, so fewer people had to be witnesses to. such a grotesque scene as a masturbating Uncle Sam. I wanted to just hit two other things with you really quick while we had the duo. We did, I believe it was the last trio video we were discussing students for Trump co-founder, Ryan Fornier, people who missed that, along and short of that story was him and his friend were running afoul of the Secret Service because his friend had a secret service badge that he's

pretending to be this students for Trump founders protectorate and they were going to strip clubs and causing a lot of ruckus and yielding or coming out of rather the investigation of that it does seem like Mr. Fournier is going to have to spend a little time in the clink. Why don't you give us a brief update on what's what's happening there? Yeah, so we got arrested again. Oh, so this is unrelated. This is a new one. This is a new arrest.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I thought it was related to the prior investigation about the. Secret Service. Ultimately, it might be. But basically, he was in his luxury apartment and the FBI and the D.C. police came. And now we find out that they're investigating a search warrant related to a firearms investigation that was launched a few days earlier. So a few days after our article ran, and basically, it seemed, I don't know if there was an incident with a gun or he was waving one around. I had heard he had a replica Desert Eagle, so a pretty big gun. And basically, he didn't answer the doors. They

kicked his door in and they arrested him. He was there. And during the search where they came up with replica AR-15 and another gun and a desert eagle that supposedly look identical to those guns, which is maybe why someone reported them for having those guns. They also found a baggie of Coke in one of the bathrooms allegedly, and they took him to jail. 10 days? That's three guns and a bag of Coke is just 10 days in prison now? That's interesting. Well, so he's facing a misdemeanor charge. He hasn't been charged. Archon in the in the gun case, possibly yet. But then when he went in front of the judge, the judge said, well, you know, I'm looking at your record here, buddy. And you've been arrested three times in the past month, two of them for an earlier domestic violence case. And so, in fact,

the judge is holding him over in jail, which is pretty surprising. But maybe it makes sense in this case. And so he'll, you know, next Thursday, he'll be in front of the judge again. That is quite the rap sheet for summer 2026 for students for Trump founder Ryan Fornier, domestic violence times due, and then friend impersonating a secret service agent, and now guns and cocaine. Oh, yeah. He's been busy. We talked about this a little bit on the podcast today, Jane Koston, but since it's in the remit, think of the false flag, greater universe, and as kind of the resident former Republican homosexual,

I do feel like it's something that we should just explore here, though I should say we don't know homosexuality is at play here. Everyone can judge for themselves. Congressman Abe Hamaday, Republican out of Arizona, got to spend a little bit of time with him. Not that get your mind out of the gutterwill. Not that kind of time.

I just, you know, been to a lot of Republican events in Arizona. He's got an interesting staff. Yeah, so that's his office there. They kind of redesigned it. You know, kind of a little fancy fancy. If you have not been to a congressional office, that usually doesn't have this kind of a Putre Mall. That's Abe there in the middle. You can't really get as good of a look at him as I'd like. But people can Google. I can get a good sense for what we're doing here. Anyway, there's a story that was broke earlier this week at sources say. News said that they had two sources that said that Abe Hamaday has a live-in senior male advisor at his Capitol Hill residence.

The advisor was previously a realtor. And the sources say that the relationship is a little closer than the typical member staffer dynamic. They would go on vacations together as well. It's led to a lot of questions about what's exactly happening there. Abe is, I actually don't know if Abe's made any official statements about his sexuality, but he's not openly gay. So we don't exactly know what's happening. Any thought, it looks kind of the buzz out there in Maga, so anybody should also say is it was kind of a, at least in Arizona, I mean, nationally, kind of a rising star of the MAGA wing. This is, he is very much of the MAGA Trump era within the party.

Yeah, I mean, look, I think it was a surprise to me. I didn't know. I mean, you know, I do think, you know, as soon as someone does one of those big office redesigns, we saw this happen with Aaron Schock, as soon as you start posing for like a crime family, portrait with your staffers or whatever. That's when like it's going to come out that you're up to something. And as you said, you know, he's reportedly been living with this staffer, who by the way was his highest paid congressional staffer, who's now now with his campaign, not with the Congress anymore. But he was unreachable when he was on vacation with this guy, according to this article. So I think there's a lot of smoke here. You know, we'll have to see if there's fire.

Yeah, they also, I remember this from covering him. One of his big endorsers and allies was a leading gay mega, Rick Grinnell. That's Abe there again in the middle. That's Rick Grinnell. And then that is Will Hannan there. The roommate slash staffer of Abe Homiday. It's interesting.

You know, I'm not really in the outing business. So this did not come as a surprise to me. It's just one of those things. Like whenever, I don't know. Maybe I have complex feelings about it that maybe we should share another time outside of a duo video. But I will

say that my interest started to get peaked about whether Abe was starting to just become a little bit more open about kind of his proclivities when he posted this tweet just a couple days ago.

America was never destined to be a soft nation with this man and very tight. Yeah, from the UFC fight. Yeah.

I don't know what you'd even call those kind of shorts. I don't know. I mean, I guess, well, let's go to your expertise as a heterosexual. Is that the kind of thing that you would post a picture of a guy like that? No, I mean, it looks like it's from a what, a circuit party or something, you know? You, good pull, Will Summer. Yeah, I was also going to say, you know, America is destined to be a bricked up nation or something like that, basically. But it is odd, right?

And particularly it's especially funny because it's obviously now divorced from the context of the U.S. fight and it just looks like a like a hot guy and kind of a vaguely federal building with his package showing yes yes with who's you know looking you know i think smoking a cigar or something you know looking very pleased with himself um you know one thing that's been striking to me is like i feel like the reaction from the gay fellas has been that you know ab homaday is like a real hunk you know he's maybe like an oscar isaac kind of like gilded age that main actor kind of thing going on hmm you've seen that in the mega gay circles or just well just from you and some other some other, you know, more liberal gays, perhaps.

Yeah. I don't know that I would say hunk. I'm not sure that I would use the word hunk. I wouldn't, don't put that word in my, my mouth. He's not, he's not hideous, I don't think. You know, I think, it's hard for me because the, you know, the maga thing is a real big mark against, you know, and I know some people can kind of separate the art from the artist or, you know,

separate the looks maxing from the political ideology. But that's getting hard for me. And so, you know, I don't know if I can really grade Abe Homiday's looks on an unbiased curve. Sometimes you just got to, in this business, admit to your biases. It's important, you know, it's an important part of candor and building trust with the audience. You know, one other thing that struck me here was that, you know, he was boasting about, he was

boasting about like, you know, these other congressional offices look like shit. I'm going to make mine look good, whatever. And then, but he, and I was like, yeah, and I was like, well, how did he make that office so big or whatever? And the article says, basically he, that's supposed to be like a big pit for all the staffers and cubicles. And he just kicked them out and took over this giant room and kind of pushed them into a much smaller room. I can't. A closet, if you will. We'll leave it there.

Will Summer. False flag newsletter. not a masturbating Uncle Sam. I need to see you in person this weekend. That's right. We'll see you soon. Everybody else, subscribe to the feet again.

We'll be back with Sam next week. Bye.
