Raising animals for food is one of the most wasteful and resource-intensive practices in farming and by far the most environmentally damaging. A logical question to ask in response to the meat and dairy industries’ destruction of the environment might be, “Why don’t we just get our protein from fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains instead?” Frustratingly, companies looking into “alternative protein sources” aren’t going for the sustainable, obvious choices but, instead, are pouring energy into options that will turn your stomach—like bugs. Yes, you read that right: bugs. The foundation is already being laid for the production of even more...

A group of government-backed, globalist-funded Dutch scientists is celebrating after developing a mutant strain of “bird flu” that spreads rapidly through humans and causes agonizing death in every single mammal that becomes infected with the deadly virus. The researchers used gain-of-function to modify the virus to jump from birds to mammals with a 100% fatality rate. However, critics are warning that the development is another dangerous chapter in the global gain-of-function agenda. The government-funded lab in the Netherlands has successfully engineered a mutant strain of H5N1 bird flu that spread between mammals and caused 100% mortality in lab animals, according...

Already, six have filed to run against the Houston Republican in the March 2026 GOP primary, and state Rep. Steve Toth, R-The Woodlands, could soon join the list.

VIDEORichard Quest of CNN needs to send a "thank you" note to Ezra Levant of Rebel News for helping him grow a bit of a spine. Apparently Levant's critique of Quest as being a "fluffer" in his Davos interviews, specifically with Klaus Schwab, did make a bit of a mark on his soul. As you can see, Quest's interview with Klaus Schwab after that encounter with Rebel News was more challenging than his past boring fluff interviews with him. Credit to Quest for introducing the term "Davosian Agenda." I have already marked that term down for future use. Anyway it...

President Trump Signs Executive Order To Ban Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). As I have been warning and appeared in the movie CBDC, the End of Money, that it would have been unconstitutional for the Federal Reserve to create a CBDC, and my sources had confirmed that the Fed would not make a CBDC. This is important that chalks one up for the people – retaining our freedom. This means that there will be no digital dollar and the end of Kaus Schwab’s dream of you will own nothing and be happy. A CBDC was to be programmable where the...

The architect of global elitism is finally facing the scrutiny he long deserved. Klaus Schwab—the godfather of the World Economic Forum’s dystopian “Great Reset” agenda—has abruptly resigned from his throne of influence after a whistleblower letter accused him of financial misconduct, personal enrichment off globalist funds, and abuse of young staffers, according to the Wall Street Jounal. According to the whistleblower complaint — reportedly penned by current and former employees of the WEF — Schwab used the Forum as his personal piggy bank. Among the accusations: Withdrew thousands in cash using junior staffers as gofers. Charged private hotel massages to...

ZURICH (Reuters) -Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, whose annual gathering of business and political leaders in the Swiss mountain resort of Davos became a symbol of globalisation, has resigned as chair of its trustees. The Geneva-based WEF made the announcement on Monday after revealing earlier this month that the 87-year-old Schwab, who for decades has been the face of the Davos get-together, would be stepping down, without giving a firm timeline. "Following my recent announcement, and as I enter my 88th year, I have decided to step down from the position of Chair and as a member...
