Republished with permission from Michael P Senger attorney and author of Snake Oil: How Xi Jinping Shut Down the World. To date, we still don’t have especially good studies on the actual causes of excess deaths by state and country when the world first went into lockdown in spring 2020. For political reasons, these deaths were all generally been lumped together as “Covid deaths,” but this coding was appallingly sloppy. According to the World Health Organization’s initial coding guidance, if a decedent had either tested positive—using a PCR test later confirmed by the New York Times to have a false...

My name is Helena, and as of this writing I’m a 23-year-old woman who, as a teenager, believed I was transgender. In the years since detransitioning (stopping testosterone treatment and no longer seeing myself as transgender), I’ve become interested in exploring why, in the last decade, nearly every English-speaking country has seen a meteoric rise in adolescents believing they are transgender and pursuing cosmetic medical and surgical interventions. Here, I’d like to go over how and why I came to see myself as transgender, the process of transitioning, and the events leading up to and following my detransition. The short...

VIDEODuring the 2020 election the news media was frequently hyping Joe Biden as some sort of foreign policy expert who would "repair the damage" that President Trump had supposedly caused among our allies. In reality, Biden has turned out to be POISON in the foreign policy field to the extent that world leaders hold him in complete contempt. Such was the case when Biden last July flew to Saudi Arabia to BEG them to increase oil production. The Saudis responded by drastically CUTTING oil production and now the desperate Biden is forced to BEG Nicolas Maduro for oil. Compare the...

At the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, his team returned a large batch of classified FBI documents and other government records to the Justice Department in such disarray that a year later -- in a letter to lawmakers -- the department said it still couldn’t tell which of the documents were the classified ones.The documents came from the FBI’s controversial probe in 2016 looking at alleged links between Russia and Trump's presidential campaign. Trump tried to make the documents public the night before he left office, issuing a “declassification” memo and secretly meeting with conservative writer John Solomon, who was...

Crickets as Food (NOQ Report Is Moving to AmericaFirstReport.com) As the human population increases, so does the demand for food. And to solve this, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and other climate change activists are pushing their bug-eating agenda. The bug-eating agenda is no laughing matter: It is now seeping through mass media and the educational system as a way to normalize and even glamorize the consumption of bugs. But why are these superpowers focused on forcing the mass public to eat crickets, mealworms and cockroaches? A WEF insider said they plan on breaking people enough to destroy the human...

It’s not a coincidence that his name appears prominently in the most brazen anti-Trump stunts conducted by the FBI in the past two years. Defense attorneys representing two men recently convicted for conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 are seeking a new federal trial for their clients amid claims of jury and judicial misconduct. (The men, Adam Fox and Barry Croft were found guilty in August in a second trial; a jury in April failed to reach a verdict on them. Two co-defendants were acquitted after jurors concluded the men had been entrapped by the FBI.) A...

A recent poll found that Hispanic conservatives would favor Republican control of Congress over Democrat control by 56 points, giving the Republicans a 65-point swing in the past decade. Conservative Hispanics have shifted from lean-Democrat voters to Republican-base voters. As NBC News reported: In the merged NBC News/Wall Street Journal polls of 2012, 49% of self-described conservative Latinos said they preferred Democratic control of Congress, versus 40% who wanted Republicans in charge — a 9-point edge for Democrats. But in our Sept. 2022 NBC News/Telemundo poll, a whopping 73% of conservative Latinos say they prefer Republicans in control of Congress,...

On September 29, 2022, the United States Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued a final rule requiring millions of private companies to report their ownership to the United States government beginning January 1, 2024. Most privately held corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships and other entities created or doing business in the United States will be subject to the new rule unless an exemption applies. As summarized in a previous alert, ownership reporting was mandated under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) enacted on January 1, 2021. The CTA was intended to make it more difficult for criminals, organized...

In 1921, Chatto & Windus published Aldous Huxley’s first novel, titled Crome Yellow. Meant to be satire, it was a far-cry from his most well-known dystopian work, Brave New World — but it includes a portentous passage, one that unambiguously encompasses the scope and character of the American left and the Democrat party: The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation’...

Reality not to be found in US media

The Army fell approximately 15,000 (25%) people short of meeting its recruiting goals this year, and some Pentagon officials focused on the tight job market as the culprit. Though access to civilian jobs and higher pay is a factor, the truth is broader and ignored at our peril. Rather than confront the reality of what is occurring in the military and the consequences of these actions, these same officials have decided to make blaming anything but the truth an Olympic-level sport and our nation’s readiness to defeat our adversaries is running in last place. I served in the military for...

A growing list of failings and defeats in Ukraine have spawned angry outbursts from Russia's elite, who still support the "military operation" but have gone as far as to suggest army chiefs should face the firing squad. Before September saw a series of battlefield reversals, public criticism of the army was rare. The offensive had been presented as a sacred, patriotic mission and speaking ill of the armed forces could lead to a long stay in prison. Today, nobody among the elite is calling into question the merits of Moscow's viewpoint or the operation against a neighbouring nation. But the...

Racing down a road with his men in pursuit of retreating Russian soldiers, a battalion commander came across an abandoned Russian armored vehicle, its engine still running. Inside there was a sniper rifle, rocket propelled grenades, helmets and belongings. The men were gone. “They dropped everything: personal care, helmets,” said the commander, who uses the code name Swat. “I think it was a special unit, but they were panicking. It was raining very hard, the road was bad and they drop everything and move.” After months of static fighting and holding the line under withering Russian artillery barrages, Ukrainian soldiers...

The Ukrainians’ bodies lay side-by-side on the grass, the earth beside them splayed open by a crater. Dragged to the spot by Russian mercenaries, the victims’ arms pointed to where they had died. “Let’s plant a grenade on them,” a voice says in husky Russian, in what appears to be a plan to booby-trap the bodies. “There is no need for a grenade, we will just bash them in,” another says of the Ukrainian soldiers who will come to collect the bodies. The mercenaries then realize they have run out of ammunition. (snip) Wagner’s struggles in Ukraine have set in...

"The truth is on our side and truth is strength!" Vladimir Putin boomed into a microphone on Red Square last week, after a grand ceremony at which he proclaimed four large chunks of Ukrainian territory to be part of Russia. "Victory will be ours!" But in the real world, things look very different. Even as Russia's president signed his illegal annexation treaties in the Kremlin, Ukrainian forces were advancing inside the areas he had just seized. Hundreds of thousands of men have been fleeing Russia rather than be drafted to fight in an expanding war. And things are going so...

On October 5, Russian President Putin instructed to transfer Zaporizhia NPP to federal ownership. This is stated on the Kremlin's website. Earlier it was reported that Russian relevant departments will take control of the operation of the occupied Zaporizhia NPP, which until recently worked under the leadership of Ukrainian personnel as part of the United energy system of Ukraine. In particular, the government of the Russian Federation was instructed to: - ensure that nuclear power facilities of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant and other property necessary for its activities are accepted into federal ownership; - determine for the period up...

Russian relevant departments will take control of the operation of the occupied Zaporizhia NPP (ZAES), which until recently worked under the leadership of Ukrainian personnel as part of the United energy system of Ukraine. This was stated at a briefing by Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergey Vershinin, writes the Russian "Kommersant". However, he did not name a specific department. The Russian official noted that the operation of the station will be discussed with IAEA Director General Raphael Grossi during his visit to Moscow, announced yesterday, October 4.

President Joe Biden said on Thursday evening that Vladimir Putin was not joking about using nuclear weapons in Ukraine - and said the risk of of Armageddon is the highest it has been since the Cuban missile crisis. He delivered his doomsday warning at a fundraising event for Democrats at the New York home of James Murdoch, son of media mogul Rupert. It comes amid growing fears that Putin is backed into a corner and could use tactical nuclear weapons to push back advancing Ukrainian forces.

Two D.C. high schools will remodel their curriculum with the intention to better prepare students for college and careers. Paul Laurence Dunbar High School and the Francis L. Cardozo Education Campus will be the first cohort of the DC+XQ, a partnership between D.C. Public Schools and the XQ Institute to “rethink and redesign all DCPS high schools,” a schools and XQ Institute news release said. The XQ Institute is an organization that develops programs aimed at improving high school education in the U.S. Dunbar and Cardozo will spend the current school year “prototyping and piloting elements of their school models,...
