“Shooting unarmed citizens is fundamentally wrong,” wrote Gov. JB Pritzker in his statement on the Rittenhouse verdict, which is pasted below. Moment in the video when Rittenhouse shot rioter aiming a pistol at him. That’s a lie. Pritzker should retract the statement and apologize.

(snip) NIH Director Francis Collins has a stern message for the American public: The country has, what he called, an epidemic of misinformation and disinformation. And it’s fueling a dangerous distrust in science. “Conspiracies are winning here. Truth is losing.

She asked that the 'co-conspirators' were named by prosecutors to prevent her...

When it comes to its talking points, The John Birch Society (JBS) is thick with assertions and thin with evidence and history. For instance, the JBS regards the US Constitution as perfection on earth. This isn’t an exaggeration.1 The JBS simply disregards the Framers’ perception of their work. Right out of the chute in 1788, Alexander Hamilton in Federalist 85 encouraged the remaining states outside the Union to ratify the Constitution and join their fellows in Article V to provide amendments that better secured some basic rights. The Constitution, he wrote, was not “absolute perfection,” but upon the whole, it...

Dr. Anthony Fauci says his view of wearing a mask in public has evolved with "the science" since he declared on "60 Minutes" early in the pandemic that people shouldn't go around town wearing them. But judging by his actions, his latest assessment of "the science" appears to be that people need to wear a mask only around those they don't trust. Politico, citing Washington Post writer and author Sally Quinn, reported Fauci was at a book party last Tuesday night for Jonathan Karl where the White House coronavirus adviser was taking his mask off and on depending on whom...

It is now under the eyes of many people, in Italy and in the rest of the world, that the pandemic emergency was and is the ideal pretext for imposing new rules of social control.

Fear of the virus is the tool to facilitate unprecedented social conditioning.The results are sadly visible in Australia and New Zealand, which have become health hells where the police forces have undergone a disgusting anthropological...

ransomnote: Transcript of subtitles on a 2 minute German video. He speaks audibly in German but, as with other censored videos I've come across lately, there's electronic popping and muting of his words. Fortunately, the video includes English subtitles.The speaker is Dr. Thomas Jendge (†55). He overcame his reticence to declare what is happening with Covid has nothing to do with a virus, and is instead, the installation of dictatorship. He called for protests. I don't believe he committed suicide; instead I believe they 'helped' him off the building for alerting the public to the dictatorship forming around them.Head Of...
