Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors has spoken against a report that reveals her organization’s purchase of a $5.8 million mansion in southern California, calling the story a “racist and sexist” attack on the movement.Patrisse Cullors attends an event in West Hollywood, Calif., on Feb. 13, 2020. According to the April 4 report by New York Magazine, the 6,500 square-foot California estate was bought in October 2020 using money that had been donated to Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, which acts as a fundraising umbrella for BLM activism. It’s unclear who leads the foundation since Cullors stepped down...

(Via NBC) – […] three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine. They said the U.S. released the [mis]information to deter Russia from using the banned munitions. […] Coordinated by the White House National Security Council, the unprecedented intelligence releases have been so frequent and voluminous, officials said, that intelligence agencies had to devote more staff members to work on the declassification process, scrubbing the [mis]information so it wouldn’t betray sources and methods. […] The idea is to pre-empt and disrupt the Kremlin’s tactics, complicate its military campaign,...

Former President Barack Obama complained Tuesday that Republicans spread “misinformation” about Obamacare, making it politically difficult to pass. “The media was skeptical of past failures, there was a lot of misinformation, to say the least, flying around,” Obama said during an appearance at the White House to celebrate the 12th anniversary of his health care law with President Joe Biden

As many of my readers already know I am not the biggest fan of Vladimir Putin, and for good reason. The war in Ukraine is not a factor; rather, it’s Putin’s duplicity, or at the very least it’s the manner in which he has been presented to conservatives. The notion that Putin is “anti-globalist” has been circulating within the alternative media for at least a decade now and frankly there’s not an ounce of truth to it. No, he never kicked the Rothschilds out of Russia, they’ve had banking operations in Moscow for many years. Putin has been close friends...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said that the decline in President Joe Biden’s numbers among African American voters is due to “a lot of the misinformation that’s out there.”

'When you look at all of the evidence together, it's an extraordinarily clear picture that the pandemic started at the Huanan market,' Worobey told the New York Times. Worobey and his team said that they focused on about 156 cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan in December 19. They continued by mapping cases in January and February using data from Chinese researchers of over 700 cases that popped up away from the market in Wuhan, particularly those with a lot of older residents. The team then studied mutations in what's known as the virus' family tree and concluded that they had...

Former NIH Director Francis Collins and others were wrong about how long mRNA from the Covid vaccines persists in the body, research shows.It was December 2020. Francis Collins, then director of the National Institutes of Health, was just beginning his public push for the Covid-19 vaccines. Hoping to enlist support from evangelical Christians, Collins granted an extended YouTube interview to his friend Russell Moore, leader at the time of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention.During their interview, Collins tried to allay fears that mRNA vaccines might be unsafe because they inject foreign mRNA into the...

Unlike the Pinto, you don’t have to get hit — or hit anything — for an electric car to burn. The things can, and have, caught fire when parked. Actually, “caught” is not the right word to describe what happens. Spontaneous combustion is better. That’s because of the nature and design of electric car batteries, which are not like the small 12-volt battery that starts the engine of a non-electric car. That battery is generally lead-acid, and fires are rare because a fire would require two things: a spark — as caused by jumper cables contacting the battery’s terminals —...

It's asymmetrical: we are happy to listen to and refute their statements, but they are not happy to listen to and refute our statements. Here are the excuses they use.Steve Kirsch Here’s my list of excuses used by people for not believing people and/or data that goes against the official narrative (collected over the past 6 months from multiple sources):Generic excusesI don’t want to read it.I don’t have time to read it.It was too long to read.There was a typo in the 3rd paragraph so obviously this is a low quality paper and not worth reading.I saw the list of...

President Joe Biden called out the NFL ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday for its lack of black coaches, saying having diverse leaders in the league is a requirement of 'generic decency.'

Establishment media was wrong about Iraq.Former Daily Show host Jon Stewart has expressed his concern about ‘fact checkers’ and the legacy media being given the power to label certain narratives “misinformation,” asking the question, “who gets to decide?”“These are shifting sands,” Stewart explained during a podcast hosted by Apple TV+.“I think I get concerned with, well who gets to decide what that (is),” he added.“In the Iraq war, I was on the side of what you would think, on the mainstream is misinformation, I was promoting what they would call misinformation, but it turned out to be right years later...

DHS is now going after COVID misinformation spreaders considering them terrorist threats. Here's my list of people I think they should be investigating.Steve KirschFeb 8 SummaryDHS is getting tough on COVID misinformation spreaders, i.e., people who spread information that “undermines public trust in government institutions.”Since DHS has finite resources to pursue all these perpetrators, as a public service, I have created a list of what I believe are some of the country’s top misinformation spreaders.I sincerely hope that the DHS will focus their efforts on these individuals since they have made statements and/or taken actions (or refused to take action)...

Conservative figures have launched an online furor this week, claiming that the government planned to spend $30 million on pipes for smoking crack cocaine. The heightened concern came months after the Department of Health and Human Services announced a federal grant for local programs that provide myriad "harm reduction" tools, or services that minimize the risks associated with drug use. Republicans seized on "crack pipes," causing the phrase to trend on Twitter on Tuesday, the latest in continued resistance from the GOP against harm-reduction techniques at a time when people are dying of drug overdoses at record rates in the...

Twisting the truth is our current Federal Government’s modus operandi. Look no further than White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s latest political gymnastics when she claimed, “We’ve not been pro-lockdown – most of the lockdowns actually happened under the previous President.”While technically true (most actual lockdowns happened in America under Trump), the reality is that Biden praised pro-lockdown governors like Andrew Cuomo of NY, deified lockdown advocate Anthony Fauci as “America’s scientist,” and insisted throughout his 2020 campaign that lockdowns were necessary.While our government officials may struggle with cognitive dissonance, Americans are taking notice as their trust in the federal...

The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin on Tuesday that sounds precisely like a prelude to a totalitarian crackdown on political dissent from the preferred narratives of the Biden regime and the Deep State. Read the opening of the summary:The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors. These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in...

Researchers at Cambridge University have developed a video game which teaches people how to spread misinformation about Covid-19. The aim of Go Viral! is to make it easier for players to spot fake news in the future.

Conversation is a meeting of minds with different memories and habits. When minds meet, they don't just exchange facts: they transform them, reshape them, draw different implications from them, engage in new trains of thought. Conversation doesn't just reshuffle the cards: it creates new cards. ~ Theodore Zeldin, Oxford scholar & author Good conversational debate is an end in itself, and talking for the love of conversation is what makes us human. ~ Bryce Courtenay, novelist One way to prevent conversation from being boring is to say the wrong thing. ~ Frank Sheed, Catholic apologist Conversation means being able to...
