• @WallStreetApes

• WHAT IS THIS?!? “Hunter Biden actually owns 10% of a company called Eplata, which is a micro financing loan company for illegal immigrants coming up through the southern border.” “At the same time, the Biden Administration Justice Department put out a notice telling the banks that they would, that the Justice Department would take legal action against any bank who refused loans to illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, the first son is, has an equity investment in a company that profits off those very loans”. (video)

• Australian senator, Alex Antic: Man-made climate change is "a trojan horse for globalism, led by the UN and their puppet masters". "Alarmist rhetoric about man-made climate change is nothing new. The United Nations and the media have been pushing it for decades... These prophecies of doom simply never come true. The polar bears are still here, the sea hasn't risen, the ozone layer is fine, but the point of this messaging is to make you afraid, and why? Because if a climate apocalypse is imminent, then governments of the world can centralise their power and control, and control your actions with the so-called emergency."

• Lara Logan: "There's all the talk about bird flu, another pandemic coming, that has just failed miserably in every direction. Because now doctors who were caught blindsided last time, they're not going to be caught again...So people have gotten ahead of that narrative and this is what they hate, because when you live in the world in this battle space of information warfare, you know when they anticipate what the attack is going to be and they get ahead of it, it fails over and over again."

• NEW: Joe Rogan now questions if elections are even “real.” TIM DILLON: “Trump will beat him [Biden], I think, from jail.” ROGAN: “Yeah, 100%.” TIM DILLON: “Trump will win.” ROGAN: “But I don’t know if it’s real. I mean, look, I don’t want to cry election fraud, but why would I imagine that they would manipulate EVERYTHING openly except the election?” (video)
• There’s another goal to the Trump guilty verdict, @VivekGRamaswamy says. “It’s also designed to deflect attention away from what they should actually be going after the Biden family for, which is selling off our foreign policy to make their family rich in places like Ukraine where Hunter Biden has absolutely no business serving on the board of Burisma, a state-affiliated energy company which happens to be the same country that we’re now sending $200 billion of American taxpayer money to.” (video)

OpenVAERS:

SKirsch.com:

• Using the MGH numbers with our own VAERS queries, we have 247 cases per million doses from the MGH study divided by 5.97 cases per million doses from VAERS. 247/5.97 = 41. This suggests that the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) is 41X.
