The Red Line Briefing

INVESTIGATION DAY 10 — JOE FELZ INDEPENDENT REVIEW

I know the coroner’s report left many of you with more questions than answers. I felt the same way. I want to know what happened to my friend, & several things immediately raised concerns for me, not only from a common sense perspective either.

WHERE THE REVIEW STANDS

To date, we have interviewed more than a dozen people & received photographs, videos, screenshots, reports, messages & other source documentation from numerous individuals. Every piece of information is being evaluated, documented & independently verified.

We have filed open-records requests & communicated with law-enforcement agencies in multiple states, spanning three countries & two continents.

Yesterday morning I was able to interview Alex for close to two hours. I want to note that she initiated this conversation. To be fully transparent in this process I also need to note that I have agreed that private details of their lives would not be published without her express permission. I fully intend to honor that agreement.

Later yesterday, I also interviewed Greg Smith ().

Greg is the individual who traveled to Mexico with Joe and Alex involving what I’ll simply call “the artifacts.” Several of you sent me videos Greg had posted making serious allegations regarding Joe & Alex. Those videos have since been deleted. I archived copies before their removal.

After I contacted Greg across several platforms, he eventually responded: “I’ll talk.”

And he did…

Over nearly three hours, Greg gave me what I believe is sincerely his version of events surrounding Mexico & what happened afterward. The conversation included claims involving Joe & Alex, Atlantis, ancient Egypt, alchemy, free energy, mind control/coercion, directed-energy weapons, Draconians, two-inch-tall aliens, crystal skulls, & alleged attempts on his life immediately following their trip to Mexico.

That is obviously a tremendous amount to unpack.

As with everything else in this review, a claim is not a fact simply because someone says it. His statements will be compared against documents, photographs, messages, timelines & other witnesses.

There has also been a noticeable effort online to characterize Joe’s death as an open-and-shut su1c1de & discourage further discussion. Multiple people who have spoken publicly about Joe have contacted me privately saying they were threatened & told to stop talking about his death. Our investigation has also had similar occurrences including from the same individual(s). Those alleged threats have included exposing personal & family information, physical violence, & in some cases death threats.

I have documented the messages & the individuals involved. As of this posting, I am aware of at least three active law-enforcement case files in three different states connected to these matters. For that reason, I will not publicly identify the individual or individuals involved at this time.

I have also now seen four, possibly five, websites presenting themselves as new or continued versions of Joe Felz’s work. I want to be very clear: to my knowledge, NONE of these sites are directly affiliated with or authorized by Joe’s family or Alex.

There is considerably more information being reviewed than I can responsibly publish today.

Day 10. Still asking questions. Still documenting. Still verifying. I am going to continue following the evidence wherever it leads.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

You guys know I’m no fan of this guy. I haven’t exactly been subtle about that.

But THIS? This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder what planet some of these politicians are living on.

According to the reporting, Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s office initially announced that his wife would be accompanied by an NYPD security detail on a personal trip to Syria & Lebanon. The NYPD then basically said: Absolutely not.

Good for them.

Because apparently this needs to be said:

Syria & Lebanon are currently under Level 4 “DO NOT TRAVEL” advisories from the US State Department. That is the highest travel-advisory level.

If you choose to take a personal trip somewhere the U.S. government is literally telling Americans DO NOT GO, that is your decision.

What you DON’T get to do is order New York City police officers to pack their bags, leave their families, fly halfway around the world, enter a high-risk environment & assume all of the additional danger & logistical nightmare that comes with protecting you there… on the taxpayers’ dime.

Then when the NYPD says, “No, we’re not doing that,” suddenly we hear from the Mayor’s Office that it was all just a “miscommunication.”

Come on.

This isn’t even a Republican vs Democrat issue for me.

It’s a common sense issue.

There are over 8.5 million people in New York City who might appreciate having their police officers actually IN NEW YORK CITY.

For once, somebody in government said NO.

In this case? Good. They absolutely should have.

🚨 BREAKING: AMERICAN MARINE VETERAN ROBERT GILMAN RELEASED FROM RUSSIAN CUSTODY AFTER MORE THAN FOUR YEARS 🇺🇸

After more than four years imprisoned in Russia — & following increasingly alarming reports about his physical and psychological condition — former U.S. Marine Robert Gilman is finally coming home.

Russian authorities released Gilman today, August 11, after Russian President Vladimir Putin granted him a humanitarian pardon. According to U.S. officials, this was not a prisoner exchange and the United States reportedly made no concessions in return. Gilman is being transported aboard a U.S. State Department aircraft and is expected to receive extensive medical and psychological evaluation and treatment at a military medical facility in Texas.

Here’s the history behind this case:

Gilman, a Marine veteran from Massachusetts who later worked as an English teacher, traveled to Russia reportedly intending to study and pursue Russian citizenship. His ordeal began in 2022, when Russian authorities arrested him in Voronezh and accused him of assaulting a police officer while intoxicated. Gilman said he could not remember the alleged incident and apologized at the time. He was initially sentenced to 4½ years, later reduced to 3½ years.

But his imprisonment didn’t end there.

While incarcerated, Russian authorities brought additional allegations against him involving confrontations with prison officials and a state investigator. Those cases resulted in additional convictions and dramatically extended his sentence. By 2025, Russian prosecutors were continuing to pursue additional assault charges, and reports eventually placed his total sentence at roughly 10 years.

Gilman’s family and advocates disputed the circumstances surrounding his treatment and imprisonment. The case became increasingly urgent this year as his health reportedly deteriorated dramatically.

In July, reports emerged that Gilman had been transferred to a Russian hospital. Then, in recent weeks, advocates said his condition had become life-threatening, alleging that years of physical and psychological abuse had left him in what they described as a “dissociative stupor.” U.S. officials subsequently pressed Moscow for his release on humanitarian grounds.

Today, that effort finally succeeded.

According to Reuters, senior U.S. officials — including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and presidential adviser Jared Kushner — were involved in efforts to secure Gilman’s freedom. Russia characterized the decision as humanitarian, and U.S. officials said no Russian prisoner was exchanged and no concessions were made to obtain his release.

Whatever anyone thinks about the circumstances that originally brought Robert Gilman to Russia, today an American and former United States Marine who spent more than four years inside the Russian prison system is coming home.

His immediate battle now isn’t political or diplomatic. It’s recovery.

Hopefully Robert receives the medical care he desperately needs, gets some long-overdue time with his family, and eventually has the opportunity to tell his own story about exactly what happened during those four years.

🇺🇸 Welcome home, Marine. Semper Fi.
