FDA Vaccine Advisors Discuss Waning Efficacy of Boosters, Ignore Pleas by Vaccine-Injured
(Madhava Setty, MD) Wednesday’s nine-and-a-half-hour meeting of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory committee was riddled with technical issues and punctuated by a sobering 60-minute long public hearing, as committee members sought, but failed to answer basic questions.
Here’s Why No One Wants to Talk About Sweden
(Johan Anderberg) When, the summer before last, the results of the first Covid wave began to be tallied in the media, there were different ways of measuring the devastation. One way of looking at the pandemic was to focus on how many people died — more than half a million around the world by the end of June. Another was to try assessing the complicated impacts of the various measures taken to combat the virus. When a lot of the functions in society were frozen, people struggled — especially the most vulnerable.

(Arjun Walia) Renowned UFO researcher, scientist, mathematician, and astrophysicist Dr. Jacques Vallée made an appearance on the Joe Rogan show in late 2020 to discuss the UFO phenomenon. On the show, he stated that “we have to stop reacting to intrusions by UFOs as a threat.”
Universities Follow the Politics, Not the Science
(Daniel Nuccio) At the start of 2022, both Rachel Fulton Brown, an associate professor of history at the University of Chicago, and Donald J. Boudreaux, an economics professor at George Mason University, fed up with the draconian dictats and bureaucratic overreach of their respective institutions, published letters openly calling out their universities for their intellectual and moral failures in how they responded to the Covid pandemic.
This Is Not Normal and No One Should Accept It

The Ukraine War, America’s Past Misdeeds, and the Future
(Daniel Pinchbeck) No event in recent memory has unified Europe and the US as Putin’s attack on Ukraine has done. Across the spectrum, everyone (outside of Russian hardliners) agrees that Russia is the main aggressor and villain in this conflict. Yet a number of commentators and experts continue to blame America and its NATO allies for letting it reach this point. They argue that the NATO countries bear responsibility for this catastrophe, due their actions (and inactions) over the last decades. These critics make some good — and some irrefutable — points. But their arguments also reveal ideological blinders and gaps in logic.

The Specter of Asymptomatic Spread
(Aaron Kheriaty) In January 2020, at the very start of the pandemic, the New England Journal of Medicine published a letter that suggesting the possibility that covid could be spread by people who did not show any symptoms of the illness. This article was based on a single case report.
The Story of Otis T. Carr: The Man Who Supposedly Invented An ‘Anti-Gravity’ Vehicle In The 1950s
(Arjun Walia) It’s astonishing how the topic of “anti-gravity” technology is still placed in the “conspiracy theory” realm by some. This isn’t the stuff of conspiracy theories or “fringe” science, it’s a field full of reputable scientists, scholars, and real-world examples that have come not only from hard evidence but from extremely credible witness testimony. History is littered with supposed examples that are surrounded by controversy. This article explores the story of a man by the name of Otis T. Carr (1904-1982).
Some People Will Follow Authority – “The Science” – to Their Doom
(Daniel Nuccio) In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Marian Keech, a Midwestern housewife, prepared for the end of the world. For some time Marian had been dabbling in the practice of automatic writing, communicating with otherworldly beings. They told her of life on other planets. They warned her of coming times of battle, plague, and devastation. They promised enlightenment and happiness. All Marian needed to do was believe.
What You Need To Know About The Great Reset

What Can The Stanford Prison Experiment Tell Us About Life In The Pandemic Era?
(Daniel Nuccio) Late in the summer of 1971, a young man was taken from his home in Palo Alto, California. Then another. And another. Nine in all, they were each spirited away. Eventually brought to a place with no windows and no clocks, they were stripped and they were chained. They were costumed in dress-like gowns. They were given numbers to be used in place of their names. Minor pleasures were redefined as privileges, as were such basic acts as bathing, brushing one’s teeth, and using a proper toilet when one pleased.
We’ve Been Bombarded With A Misleading COVID Death Count For Two Years
(Arjun Walia) Flaws in the way COVID fatalities were calculated have been emerging throughout the pandemic. There are multiple examples, and another one just emerged from the scientists at Collateral Global. A new report spearheaded by Dr. Carl Heneghan, epidemiologist and director at the University of Oxford’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, has revealed that death counts regarding COVID we were constantly bombarded with on a daily basis are not accurate.
