- Is
the New York Times the most dangerous "news" organization in America?
It seems like it is captured by the military industrial complex. The New York Times is woke warmonger propaganda. (pic)

- The Romney Crime Family! What a cesspool! Liz Cheney and her daddy were not only mixed in with Hunter Biden’s Chinese and Ukrainian business dealings, they were business partners in more than a couple of ventures: Paul Ryan, Tagg and his daddy, Mittens Romney! Paul Ryan even joined the private equity firm Solamere Capital as a PARTNER, Solamere Capital was founded by Mitten’s son, Tagg Romney, Eric Scheuermann and Spencer Zwick, the firm uses SPACs to hide controversial companies they’ve invested in, including Russian and Ukrainian oil/gas fields at the start of the Russia/Ukraine war, negotiated by Halliburton with neocon/warmongers like Dick and Liz Cheney, George and Jeb Bush. All are STILL profiting from the corruption in Ukraine. (pic)

- ROGAN: "The House released a 500 page report on COVID-19 pandemic key findings ... The Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus Pandemic basically said all the conspiracy theorists were correct. Every single one of them. No repercussions, no retractions, no apology from Rachel Maddow. None of it." (video)
- @MarioNawful
- OH GREAT, NOW BREAKFAST IS KILLING US!? A new study claims oatmeal might come with a side of brain damage. It
links glyphosate, the weed killer in RoundUp, to Alzheimer’s-like brain
changes. Glyphosate is everywhere—cereal, orange juice, 300 million
pounds of U.S. crops—and 81% of Americans have been exposed. Meanwhile, the EPA says it’s fine, even as countries like Germany and Spain ban it. (pic)
- @Holden_Culotta
- RFK Jr. sounds the alarm on HSB 737, a new bill to grant pesticide manufacturers IMMUNITY for poisoning Americans. Chemical companies literally argued they need immunity because lawsuits over the damages caused by their products will “put them out of business.” RFK: “This is the apogee for corporate socialism. It’s a license for chemical companies to poison Americans with NO liability.” (video)
- @MJTruchUltra
- HAHAHAHAHA! BREAKING: The National Black Church Initiative, which represents 28+ Million Black Americans, issued a letter Demanding MSNBC FIRE Al Sharpton and Investigate the Payments Kamala Harris made to his Civil Rights Organization. “For many ministers, this type of action puts a moral stain on the integrity of the black Church. The Rev. Al Sharpton needs to fully disclose the nature of the $500,000, why it was given and received, and for what purpose,” it reads. “Where are the receipts? And did Rev. Sharpton receive any funds, and if so, what and for what purpose?”

- JOHNSON:
“We’re very frustrated by what the Biden admin. appears to be doing
right now…as someone said on a hidden camera in the administration, who
is charged with distributing the funds, said, ‘It’s like we’re dumping gold bars off the Titanic.’” (video)

- It has been over 2 months since Hurricane Helene. James O’Keefe just went to North Carolina and spoke with victims, FEMA STILL HASN’T HELPED THEM. “Has FEMA come to help you? No, they haven't” Hurricane victims sleeping in tents in the cold. (video)
- Chicago Residents wants Donald Trump’s Department of Justice to Investigate Democrat Leaders. “Y'all don't care about the U.S. Constitution at all. Y'all don't care about it at all. The city of Chicago is the most corrupt city on the planet, and it's run by a democratic machine”. “You guys have been doing this for decades — and it's going to stop because Trump is getting in office. And the first thing that's going to happen is the Department of Justice is going to come here.” (video)
- @naomirwolf
- The Brian Thompson (RIP) shooting story has all the hallmarks of a directed narrative. Somehow video and still images all appear magically from many locations in the custody of the NYTimes. The shooter's whereabouts before and after are mapped in nanoseconds. A cellphone is dropped in an alley! NYPD spokespeople declare a targeted shooting before any investigation, and warn that healthcare CEOs should get security. Feels like a threat to others to me.

- Look at all of the crazy things they invent that cause "climate change". This is a mental illness. (pic)
OpenVAERS:
- VAERS US COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports. 1,016,047 Reports(+2,606 from prior report) Through October 25, 2024.
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.
