National Institutes of Health acting director Lawrence Tabak confirmed to lawmakers Wednesday that US health officials concealed early genomic sequences of COVID-19 at the request of Chinese scientists — but insisted the data remains on file. -snip Vanity Fair recently reported that the information was hidden in response to a request from Chinese scientists, despite potentially resolving whether the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology or passed naturally from animals to humans. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) asked Tabek to explain why US officials would comply with such a request. “There’s no question that the communication that we...

The current war in Ukraine is not a battle between the good and bad guys; it has everything to do with the setting up of a one-world government. Both sides favor a New World Order, but are they fighting for same vision of it? Both Putin and Zelenskyy graduated from Klaus Schwab’s school for Young Global leaders. Schwab, founder and head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), promotes what he calls the Great Reset, which is a Marxist reordering of the world’s economy under one government. So how do we explain what’s happening in Ukraine? I believe the answer lies...

The sanction imposed on Russia is an economic version of a nuclear war spearheaded by the United States without any consideration whatsoever. The United States was energy self-sufficient under Trump. Biden has taken every step to end fossil fuels and has had the audacity to turn to OPEC to ask for more supply while he denies American those very jobs. But Europe has no self-sufficient energy. This hair-brain idea that they can punish Russia for invading Ukraine was deliberately created by the West & Zelensky and is now tearing the EU apart. As always, the West simply thought they needed...

A reader sent in this picture that they saw on President Zelensky’s Twitter account before it was deleted. Zelensky posted a proud Ukrainian soldier but mistakenly forgot to photoshop out the massive Nazi symbol on his chest. The skull image symbolizes the 3rd SS Panzer Division, “Totenkopf” (English translation: death’s head), which was an elite group of Nazis who fought for Germany during World War II. The group has a notoriously gruesome past and is responsible for atrocious war crimes such as the Le Paradis massacre where the division murdered 97 British troops after they surrendered. Totenkopf also invaded the...

You might remember that Jen Psaki said that the White House had "no official position" about the leak over the possible upcoming decision vis-a-vis Roe vs Wade. She didn't mind the damage that it did to the Court. You might remember that Psaki was happy to encourage the protests and violence that accompanied them. You know, people were blocked from churches and churches were vandalized. You might remember that she didn't mind when "A reporter for Rewire News Group called for "more" violence against pro-life Americans over the weekend as she appeared to celebrate reports of vandalism against the headquarters...

It sounds like a form of torture. Consuming nothing but at least a liter of water a day for 25 to 30 days. But behind the Iron Curtain in the 1950s, psychiatrist Dr Yuri Nikolayev was treating patients at a Moscow sanatorium with a radical form of fasting that was hailed by American orthomolecular psychiatrist Dr Allan Cott as an “unparalleled achievement” in restoring schizophrenics to full function.1 What first surprised Nikolayev was that his mentally ill patients suffering depression, phobias and obsessive syndromes also showed improvements in physical conditions such as hypertension, arthritis, asthma and eczema. Smokers quit their...

Explanation: The massive stars of NGC 346 are short lived, but very energetic. The star cluster is embedded in the largest star forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud, some 210,000 light-years distant. Their winds and radiation sweep out an interstellar cavern in the gas and dust cloud about 200 light-years across, triggering star formation and sculpting the region's dense inner edge. Cataloged as N66, the star forming region also appears to contain a large population of infant stars. A mere 3 to 5 million years old and not yet burning hydrogen in their cores, the infant stars are strewn...

VIDEOAs many of you might have seen in my previous DUmmie FUnnies video, Steve Kane Radio Show co-host Brian Craig speculated on May 10 that he believes that the federal government is stockpiling baby formula in order to provide it to illegal aliens crossing the border. Well, lo and behold, just ONE day later on May 11, Florida Congresswoman Kat Cammack informed the world that a border patrol whistleblower confirmed that Brian was exactly RIGHT. A photo was provided of the Ursula Processing Center in Texas showing full shelves of baby formula.An amazing feat of deductive reasoning by Brian Craig...
