Two foreigners accused of plotting to assassinate President Donald J. Trump at last month’s CPAC near Baltimore were summarily executed by a White Hat vigilante at a north Florida holding facility, Real Raw News has learned.
As reported previously, White Hats, on February 21, apprehended two men who had rented a van and hotel rooms in National Harbor, MD, under the aliases of Stephen Butler and William Henry James. At the time of their arrest, they had drawings and photographs of the convention center, Trump’s public travel itinerary, a bevy of surveillance gear, and a military sniper rifle, which they intended to use on President Trump. The duo was brought to a local detainment center, then to JAG’s Deep State processing facility in Pensacola, Florida.
Although the prisoners were uncooperative and unwilling to reveal their proper names, White Hats identified them as Ukrainian intelligence agents Demyan Zhuravel and Maxim Pavlenko, members of Ukraine’s Directorate of Intelligence, a shadowy entity whose spheres of activity include espionage and assassination. They had entered the U.S. on February 10 with forged Canadian passports. How and where they got a military rifle is still unknown; theirs had no serial number.
As they were cagey, White Hats could only guess why the pair had looked to murder President Trump. The working theory was that the pedophile Zelenskyy had schemed Trump’s demise—to stop President Trump from defunding Ukraine and reclaiming all U.S. military hardware. The bumbling would-be assassins, unsurprisingly, would not affirm those suspicions. In fact, they told JAG investigators they’d sooner die than talk and had been trained to resist aggressive interrogations.
A Pensacola source told Real Raw News that JAG separated the pair before putting their claim to the test. But he would neither confirm nor deny our questions about whether investigators water-boarded or tortured them. He did say investigators disrupted the prisoners’ sleep by routinely turning on and off the fire-suppression sprinklers, which made the Ukrainians damp and irascible. Still, the prisoners refused to yield.
After four nights of having water sprayed on his face and clothes, a saturated and furious Pavlenko made a startling announcement. He told investigators, “We have your children. Lots of them. If you let us go, we’ll tell you how to find some.”
White Hats, our source said, believe that Zelenskyy, a known child trafficker, still has Western children, including countless Americans, imprisoned in Ukraine.
“Even if Pavlenko knew something, and he could’ve been bluffing, we don’t negotiate with these monsters,” he said.
Nonetheless, investigators “amplified and applied increased pressure,” hoping to coerce a confession. But Pavlenko again fell silent, and his partner, Zhuravel, wrinkled his face into a sinister grin when investigators broached the topic of missing children.
At around 1:00 a.m., February 29, a lead investigator with carte blanche access to the facility nonchalantly retrieved a pistol from the armory, unlocked and opened the door to Pavlenko’s cell, and put two rounds in his head. He then repeated the process, executing Zhuravel.
He then unloaded the weapon and surrendered to JAG authorities, saying the pair had no right to live.
Our source said the investigator was relieved of duty and remanded into custody.
The Pensacola killings are the latest in a spate of extrajudicial executions that have plagued White Hat operations. In September 2021, detainee William Jefferson Clinton was poisoned following a military tribunal, and in April 2022, White Hats tossed former Obama strategist David Axelrod from an airplane. Last year, two GITMO guards beat to death FEMA Deputy Administrator Eric Hooks.
Our source said Vice Admiral Darse E. Crandall has not commented on the latest incident.
“Don’t know or won’t guess what he’ll say or do. Others have gotten off easy, but he’s made it clear vigilantes won’t be tolerated. My personal opinion: I doubt any of us didn’t want to do the same thing.”
