• @WallStreetApes

• Elon Musk just shared details on the USAID Haiti Scam exposing “$4.4B SPENT, SIX HOMES BUILT”. Of all the contracts, “Haitian companies got just 2%”. 2016 Haitian Reporter, “The whole world has given billions.” They say Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton stole it. “Where is the money Hillary Clinton raised with the Clinton foundation, Haiti did not get even 2%”. “So, Mr. Trump, we are asking you, begging you, the Haitian community will side with you if one day you ask Hillary Clinton publicly to disclose the audit of all the money they have stolen from Haiti in 2010 after the earthquake”. (video)
• WOW! James O'Keefe just got evidence California Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass KNEW THE FIRES WERE COMING. The real reason Karen Bass was busy in Ghana, Africa is she was obtaining a contract TO INTEGRATE MORE AFRICANS INTO CALIFORNIA. (video)

• @WarClandestine

• The world is starting to realize that Ukraine was a massive psyop and money laundering operation. Which means that Putin was kind of right about the whole Ukraine thing. This is why the Deep State conditioned the world to believe everything Russia says is “disinformation”. They knew that Putin knew their schemes, so they weaponized nearly all media around the globe, via Soros’ USAID influence machine, to make the public believe anything Russia says is a lie.
• This whole Fort Knox situation is peculiar. Trump and Elon would not be bringing this much attention to this situation unless they already knew something. They are asking questions they already know the answer to. (video)

• @Libsoftiktok

• USAID’s Haiti scandal is staggering. The U.S. sent $4.4B after the 2010 earthquake—yet less than 2% reached Haitians, while 56% lined the pockets of D.C. firms. The Red Cross claimed to shelter 130,000 people—but built just SIX homes. No transparency. No accountability. USAID and NGOs refuse to answer where the money went—while Haitians were left with nothing.
• INSANE. Maryland Democrats are pushing HB380 which would allow vending machines with condoms to be available at your child's kindergarten, nursery school, or elementary school. (video)

• @MarioNawful

• CHINA PROVOKES AUSTRALIA WITH NAVAL DRILLS—THEN PLAYS THE VICTIM. Chinese warships fired live rounds near Australia and New Zealand with little warning, forcing airlines to reroute flights. But when called out, Beijing’s response? "Stop overreacting." Australia slammed China’s lack of transparency, while Beijing dismissed the concerns as “unreasonable accusations.” New Zealand is now monitoring Chinese vessels as tensions rise. Bullying the region, then crying foul—classic move. 
• CLIMATE SCIENCE OR CLIMATE ACTIVISM? NEW STUDY EXPOSES THE HIDDEN FUNDING. A bombshell research paper analyzing 82 climate studies reveals a disturbing pattern: Not a single paper disclosed conflicts of interest over 29 years, while NGO-funded research consistently pushed alarmist conclusions about hurricanes and climate change. The numbers tell the story: 68% of NGO-funded studies claimed climate change drastically increases hurricane activity, compared to just 22% of government or academic research. More telling? NGO grants averaged $1.2 million per study—four times larger than typical academic funding. 
• AUTISM RATES SURGE 400% IN TWO DECADES. U.S. autism diagnoses have risen dramatically from 1 in 150 children in 2000 to 1 in 36 in 2020. The unprecedented increase raises questions about environmental and diagnostic factors. Centers for Disease Control: "The prevalence of autism among U.S. children has risen significantly in recent years" The surge coincides with improved screening methods and awareness, though experts say the full explanation for the 400% increase remains complex and not fully understood.

• We tried to warn you. This is completely horrifying. Studies are beginning to prove that the COVID Jab is far worse than COVID — and may in fact be a deadly poison for your immune system. Thousands of people need to go to jail. Entire industries needs to be shut down. It’s over.

• @VigilantNews

• NEW: Joe Rogan says Fauci’s pardon could actually BACKFIRE on him. “He’s pre-pardoned federally, but he’s not pre-pardoned state-wise. These states can still sue him. Not only that, when you’re pardoned, you can no longer plead the Fifth, so you could be held for perjury.” With a federal pardon in place, This means Fauci would be forced to testify without Fifth Amendment protection—opening the door to perjury charges if he gets caught lying. So, the very pardon meant to shield Fauci could actually become his legal trap. Let’s see which prosecutors have the courage to hold him accountable. (video)
• If you're thinking about giving your child the HPV shot, you need to see this video. Dr. Paul Thomas warns, “There will be more deaths from that [HPV] vaccine than there will ever be from cervical cancer. You just look at the number of studies and the number of deaths, and it’s horrendous.” In a separate exposé on the HPV vaccine, Dr. Peterson Pierre revealed, “The number of HPV-related cancers has not DECREASED even though the vaccine has been widely adopted by men and women. In fact, the CDC has noted that in the past 15 years, HPV-related cancers have significantly INCREASED.” So, there's two big takeaways here: (video)

OpenVAERS: 

• VAERS US COVID Vaccine Adverse Event Reports. 1,023,249 Reports(+1,028 from prior report) Through January 31st, 2025.

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.

That means that of the $1.5 billion that they spent more than $1.4 billion of that was wasted. The healthcare industry is a racket. (video)
