- Wow.
Things just keep getting worse on German state TV. This segment is
supposed to be a weekly religious reflection, so on the weekend of
Charlie Kirk’s funeral, they used it to smear him. They brought on a
pastor to denounce Charlie as a “right-wing extremist racist” and then
go so far as to brand anyone who rejects that smear as the devil. This
isn’t some fringe voice. This is the pastor chosen to give the official religious address on state television. Here’s what she said verbatim:
“And the poison keeps working, when a right-wing extremist racist is
downplayed as a conservative who supposedly inspired the youth. And now
it gets even more absurd. Simply stating things as they are leads to the
insinuation that one is justifying a murder. That is total distortion.
Diabolos, the Distorter. That’s what the Bible calls the devil.” (video)
- The
man arrested for 'allegedly' firing gunshots at the KXTV ABC TV station
in Sacramento, California on Friday, has been released from custody. This
is because his crime isn't considered violent in California. With
passage of Proposition 57 the following crimes in California are
“non-violent” felonies: human trafficking, raping an unconscious person,
drive-by shooting, assault with a deadly weapon or firearm, serial
arson, exploding a bomb to injure people, solicitation to commit murder,
and domestic violence.

- EXCLUSIVE | PBD: CHARLIE KIRK LIKELY TURNED DOWN NETANYAHU. While he's not convinced anyone should point fingers at Israel, @patrickbetdavid believes you may as well flip a coin on the question of whether Netanyahu offered Turning Point $150 million to make Charlie Kirk an ambassador of Israeli interests. When was the offer allegedly made? just a month before he was assassinated. "Charlie didn't want to go back to Israel. Israel invited him. He said no to it. Eventually, Bibi even offered $150 million to maybe have Charlie give more pro-Israel messages around the world." (video)
- VIETNAM SHUTS DOWN MILLIONS OF BANK ACCOUNTS OVER BIOMETRIC ID RULES. Vietnam just closed more than 86 million bank accounts because owners didn’t sign up for new biometric ID rules that require face scans to use banking services. The government says it’s all about fighting fraud and money laundering, after police caught a gang using fake scans to move $39 million. Now anyone making transfers over $379 has to pass a face scan, and bigger transactions always need biometric checks. Foreigners living in Vietnam are also caught up, with some having to fly back just to keep their accounts alive. Some people warn this isn’t just about security but could be the start of intense financial surveillance. Is Vietnam being used as a testing ground for what many are now calling the New Banking Order?

Nicole Shanahan just issued a blistering critique of misallocated resources in the public health fight, and it’s a wake-up call everyone needs to hear. While immense time and capital are poured into campaigns against products like Froot Loops, a far more insidious threat is being granted legal immunity state by state—and it’s happening in the shadows. The focus? Glyphosate. Shanahan highlights the alarming recent move in Georgia, where the governor just signed a bill into law shielding manufacturers like Bayer (which acquired Monsanto) from all liability. Let that sink in. (video)

One man was reportedly shot in the face. The country club was hosting a function and people were also eating at Prime Restaurant when the gunmen entered the facility and began shooting people. A witness reported one of the men yelled, “Free Palestine,” before firing upon the guests.”

- @VigilantFox
- Bill Maher just made the Emmys crowd look like absolute MONSTERS for not saying a single word about Charlie Kirk after his death. “Would it have killed someone to get up there, since they all want to talk about their politics… just to say we had a political assassination this week and that’s wrong? They would have been booed off the stage because he was on the wrong team. So you’re not even allowed to say that. Could you imagine if a left-wing person was assassinated that week? The whole show would have been about that.” (video)

- There is no bone in the human body that can survive 3,000 foot-pounds of energy directed into such a small area. Only Wolverine could survive it, but he's not real. Anyone who thinks that neck skin, tissue or even bones can stop and absorb such a large amount of energy moving through such a tiny area of tissue is truly delusional. Yet this is now what we're being told by the same people who claim we should also believe the lone shooter theory.
- @wideawake_media
- The UK government is desperate to introduce digital ID, under the guise of addressing the same migrant crisis it is helping to facilitating in the first place. Digital ID is THE line in the sand that must not be crossed, under any circumstances. All the other totalitarian digital technologies—including CBDCs, social credit systems, personal carbon allowances and 15-minute districts—rely on digital ID being put into place first. If we ever allow the traitors in government to take us down that road, the only destination it leads to is complete digital enslavement, from which it will be virtually impossible to ever escape. But they can only do that if we comply. DO NOT COMPLY.

- Call me “insane” if you want to, but the explanation for the lack of an exit wound in the assassination of Charlie Kirk with a high-powered 30-06 rifle is extremely hard to believe. According to one of the surgeons:
- @C_3C_3
- You know the Democrats murdered a future Republican President, right? Charlie shifted 18-29 year old male demographic +44 in just 2 years. Charlie Kirk was that influential.
- @MichelleMaxwell
- Breaking news out of Virginia, and it’s the kind of news that should make every Republican’s heart race with pride! The numbers are in, and they are stunning: conservative, Republican-leaning counties are shattering expectations in early voting, leaving Democrat strongholds in the dust. In Dinwiddie County, turnout is soaring to a jaw-dropping 82%. Goochland is not far behind at 72%. Hanover—rock solid conservative territory—is holding strong at 62%. These aren’t just numbers on a page. They are proof of a movement, proof of energy, and proof that the Republican grassroots is more alive and determined than ever. Now let’s look at the other side.
