- Spanish and French farmers block both sides of Spanish-French border, in protest against their livelihoods being demolished by the EU's climate policies. If you had to choose between living without farmers and living without unelected technocrats, which would you choose? (video)
- According to Deborah Birx, every cow in America should be tested for "bird flu", on a weekly basis. Make no mistake: "Bird flu" is a fabricated pretext to go after the food supply, among other things.

- SENATOR KENNEDY: What's the FBI doing to investigate the other people involved in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking rings? FBI DIRECTOR: Well, I'm not sure that I can, um, confirm any specific individual. KENNEDY: He videotaped sex acts with prominent people...do you have those tapes? FBI DIRECTOR: I can't discuss the specifics of our law enforcement operations related to Mr. Epstein or Ms. Maxwell. But obviously, we had a very active investigation related to both of them. But whether it extends to other people, I'm not sure that's something. (video)
- @robbystarbuck
- Wow. Everyone should read this whole wild story. @TheTNStar got their hands on an
@FBI memo given to Nashville police that told them it was dangerous to release "legacy tokens" from the Covenant trans killer attack. That means hiding or destroying her manifesto, videos or other documents that she left behind. The FBI went out to outline precedent for destroying or hiding legacy tokens. (pic)

- Dr. Phil Delivers Message Everyone Needs to Hear “We are not some banana republic, for God’s sake.” Disturbed by the 34-count felony conviction against Trump, Dr. Phil asks, “What are we gonna do next? Have a Putin poisoning posse and start finding political opponents foaming at the mouth at home, not so mysteriously dying in their la-z-boy recliners?” Dr. Phil says, “We need our justice department to return to the business of meting out justice and not running the political agendas of those currently in power, blindly seeking convictions, warranted or otherwise, and attacking political opponents.” “We’re better than that,” he added. “We must be better than that. I don’t like what I see happening in our country.” (video)

- Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies by Democrats for a filing error. Yet 9 of the 12 NYPD officers who were assigned to the Anthony Weiner Laptop case ‘committed suicide’ and Sidney Powell said the crimes are so extreme it should be “handed over to the military”. No charges. No felonies. No arrests. This is America’s Two Tier Justice System. (video)

- Whoa. The President of El Salvador just told Tucker that MS 13 participates in Satanic child sacrifice rituals after he saved the country from the gang takeover that infected the nation. But the mainstream media told me that this was supposed to be a conspiracy theory? This is a battle between good vs evil. If you're not awake yet, then its time to start realizing that we are in a spiritual war. (video)

- Fmr. CDC Director Robert Redfield Makes a Series of Stunning Admissions That Were Once Deemed 'Misinformation'. "There
was a decision not to do anything that made the vaccine sound like it
didn't work." "Two thirds of the people that I'm seeing infected in
Maryland have been vaccinated." (video)
- @WallStreetSilv
- The WHO is running a scam on Bird Flu. 1) He died on April 24th 2) He was in the hospital for 3 weeks bedridden already for other reasons. 3) He likely died of those causes, not Bird Flu They used a PCR test which have been widely criticized as set so sensitive that many result in false positives. So they can now claim in headlines, "He died with Bird Flu" even though he probably didn't. Dying WITH Bird Flu (false positive PCR test) is very different that dying FROM Bird Flu.

- VAERS US COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports. 1,010,545 Reports(+992 from prior report) Through April 26th, 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.
