Last week, Gateway Fundit announced that BEK TV, a conservative station in North Dakota, would publish articles potentially damaging to Sen. Cramer in exchange for millions of dollars in state funds. It was reported that he was caught trying to plan an extortion plan in which he refused. story source.
Lori Hintz, the journalist behind the extortion plan, busy with local podcasts Gateway critics say everything they report is wrong.
Hintz undermines the credibility of Gateway Pundit’s reporting by citing the defamation settlement in Ruby Freeman and Shay Jackson’s lawsuit against TGP and Pundit’s bankruptcy filing in Florida earlier this year. I’m trying to
Then Hintz says: “As the article suggests, this is not a new story. And secondly, there is a slight pattern in the press. In closing, let me just say that I am extremely disappointed in the North Dakotans who denigrated BEK and are quoted in this article,” Hintz said. “Words like “apparently” and “speculation” appear about 10 times in the article. Read the transcript and listen to the audio transcript. You can hear what’s going on in my voice. Use your discernment. ”
Hintz said Lori Hintz, Derrick Blawa, and BEK TV tried to mediate between U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-North Dakota) and his source, whistleblower Charles Hofer. It’s hitting back at last week’s article outlining an extortion scheme.
Gateway Pundit stands behind its reporting on this issue 100%.
The podcast host then likened Gateway Poundit to the Flat Earth Society.
Hintz said she and BEK TV CEO Derrick Burawa decided not to cover scandals related to supply chain issues in the airline industry that could put most commercial airlines at risk of in-flight breakdowns. He said it was just that.
Legal experts say that after this source approached BEK, Hintz, and Blawa, BEK and Hintz covered up this story and accused federal prosecutors of blackmailing Sen. Cramer by setting up a whistleblower source. I suspect that he was trying to get something.

Hintz, also a Republican national committee member from North Dakota, boasts a very close relationship with Sen. Kevin Cramer, a Republican who has reportedly known him for 42 years. Cramer secretly threw Hintz under the bus, telling Bismarck insiders that she “went rogue” but claimed he had no idea what she was proposing.
Hoefer claims he gave Hintz and BEK TV a thumb drive containing thousands of pages of documents and further evidence proving his claims. Hofer also claimed that the evidence implicates North Dakota Sens. Kevin Cramer and John Hoeven, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum in the worst aviation parts fraud scandal in history. are.
Mr. Hintz and Mr. Bourawa told Gateway Funds on the phone that they were still trying to plan a multimillion-dollar payoff for Mr. Hoefer, and despite their intention to cover up the story, Mr. Hoefer’s He claimed that he did not believe the claims and took pains to investigate them. exchange.
But now, exclusively released to Gateway Critic, Hoefer has provided audio of a conversation between Lori Hintz and Derick Burawa that confirms they know about the scandal and that it’s real. He admits that he thought so.and offered even more interesting views and beliefs about the incident, admitting that they had Stories previously hidden from viewers in exchange money.

In an audio clip from Sept. 4 of this year, Blawa explains who he believes is involved in the ongoing cover-up of North Dakota’s aviation scandal: the state’s two U.S. senators. and the governor, and it’s possible. Black market weapons sales:
Burawa: “This is big enough and far enough to be at the top. Either way. Our senior senators, governors, and people at that level will only be involved in this unless hundreds of millions of dollars are involved.” Mr. Blawa continued. Selling weapons and military technology on the black market, with or without government consent”
North Dakota media reports that parts manufactured at his factory site in Dunseith, North Dakota, include electronic equipment used in aviation, as well as similar parts used in military aircraft and guided missiles. Hefer said he also found evidence of nuclear-related activity. This is what Bulawa mentions in the audio excerpt. Burawa believes the story includes illegal arms deals by political elites, in addition to the already documented criminal charges.
In the clip, Hoefer can be heard expressing concern for his and his family’s safety.
Blawa echoed his concerns, pointing to the political power of the state’s two senators and why Hoefer should fear for his life. And remember, senator hoeven sat down Member of the Armed Services Committee and now Senator Cramer sit At the Military Committee. So, both your senior senator…”
Blawa and Hintz then tried to get Höfer to agree to a plan that they thought sounded like blackmail, and Höfer opposed the plan on that basis. Blawa said he was not interested in criminal prosecution and that Hoefer could “break” the extortion charge because he had already been trying to do the right thing for two years and had failed.
Instead of reporting the explosive incident, Hintz and Burawa brokered a multi-million dollar extortion scheme and attempted to cover up the incident.
In the call, Hintz said he never intended to spread the word about the dangers of aviation to the public.
Höfer now believes Bourawa and Hintz framed him.: Trying to get him to name a specific price, and by telling Senator Cramer that specific amount, Hofer He faces federal charges for attempted extortion of a U.S. senator.
Hoefer was very concerned about Hintz and Blawa’s plan and instructed them by phone and email not to pursue the plan.
Media CEO Derrick Blawa explosively pitched a blackmail scheme to Hofer to try to suppress publication of articles related to the North Dakota airline scandal, and he has repeatedly engaged in this type of blackmail deal with political elites. He claimed to have been there.
Bulawa: “I’ve done this dance twice before, and it turned out badly, because the bad guys get away. But both times, I’ve done this dance twice before, because the bad guys get away. Things needed to be accomplished, and they were accomplished. And the bad guys are on the run. You just have to decide if you’re going to be destroyed in the process.”
Mr. Hoefer became very concerned at this point and on September 6th sent his attorney a “cease and desist” letter to BEK TV’s Lori Hintz, imploring BEK as an intermediary in financial transactions with Senator Cramer. I asked them to stop trying.

Mr. Hintz told Mr. Hoefer that if anything came up about the funds, he would have a “plausible deniability.” Mr. Hintz apparently suggested that Mr. Hoefer prioritize the money as part of the extortion deal, telling Mr. Hoefer: [North Dakota U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer (R)]check if you can do this before starting. The good news is that we can adjust our behavior to what we learn. ”
Höfer believes that the crimes involved have had a major impact on the aviation supply chain, with 80% of civil aviation at significant risk of critical components failing in flight. Hoefer believes there is an “immediate flight safety risk” and claims he can prove that multiple federal investigations, including by the FAA and the Department of Defense, were launched and then quietly discontinued. This is a significant allegation that BEK TV attempted to conceal and broker a blackmail deal with Senator Cramer in order to cover it up.
Gateway Critic reached out again via text and email to BEK TV’s Lori Hintz and CEO Derick Burawa, but did not receive a response.
