Was Mel Gibson the fall guy for wanting to child trafficking rings in Hollywood? He is involved in a new documentary about the underbelly of child trafficking in the U.S. and other countries. That is why he is trending today. Will the mainstream condone this or remind us why he is a persona non grata?

Jun. 9, 2023 2:45 pm – The Trump indictment was released on Friday.

President Trump was hit with 37 federal counts – 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, maximum: 10 years in prison, $250,000 fine.

[Ed.:  Right!  If I were Trump, I’d store boxes in a bathroom!  So much so, that no one can even get to the shower!  After all, Hillary kept her server in a bathroom.]

 

LIVE-STREAM VIDEO: The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft to Interview Trump Campaign Attorney Christina Bobb on Latest Attacks on President Trump – 3:30 ET   [39:24]   By Jim Hoft 

Jun. 9, 2023 1:45 pm – This interview will air live on The Gateway Pundit website.

The two will discuss the latest assault on President Trump and his associates.

Last night the Biden regime announced they were going to indict the leading Republican candidate in the 2024 election President Donald Trump.

This comes after the Biden DOJ launched a Special Counsel to investigate the president’s private documents kepts at Mar-a-Lago.  This same regime has ignored the stolen classified documents in Joe Biden’s possession since 1974.

This will be Christina’s first interview with The Gateway Pundit since news broke last night of Trump’s indictment on Tuesday.

BREAKING: Two Trump Attorneys Step Down After Federal Indictment – Trump Names New Counsel    By Cristina Laila

Jun. 9, 2023 12:10 pm – Two of President Trump’s lawyers representing him in the classified documents case resigned on Friday.

Attorneys Jim Trusty and John Rowley stepped down on Friday after Trump was indicted by a Florida grand jury on at least 7 counts.

“This morning we tendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump, and we will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation,” the lawyers wrote.

Trump said he will be represented by Todd Blanche in the Florida case.

Additional lawyers will be announced soon.

“For purposes of fighting the Greatest Witch Hunt of all time, now moving to the Florida Courts, I will be represented by Todd Blanche, Esq., and a firm to be named later. I want to thank Jim Trusty and John Rowley for their work, but they were up against a very dishonest, corrupt, evil, and “sick” group of people, the likes of which has not been seen before. We will be announcing additional lawyers in the coming days. When will Joe Biden be Indicted for his many crimes against our Nation? MAGA!” Trump said on Truth Social.

[Ed.:  Turns out that those two attorneys were not licensed to practice law in Florida.]

Japan Begins Secretly Releasing Irradiated Water From Fukushima Disaster Into The Ocean

June 9, 2023

Japan’s public broadcaster NHK has revealed that TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) has begun secretly releasing irradiated water from the Fukushima disaster into the ocean.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (better known as TEPCO) started releasing irradiated seawater from Monday afternoon into an underwater tunnel that has been built to release Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea, Japan’s public broadcaster NHK said on Tuesday.

According to TEPCO, the tunnel will be filled with some 6,000 tons of seawater by around noon on Tuesday.

The process, according to China Daily, was carried out “secretly” on Monday because Japan’s unilateral decision of dumping more than 1.3 million metric tons of treated but still radioactive water into the ocean provoked consistent protests from neighboring countries, such as China, Pacific Island communities and civil society groups in the most affected prefectures such as Fukushima, Iwate and Miyagi.

And instead of targeting what will be a tangible environmental catastrophe in just days, the hollow and hypocritical virtue signaling talking heads continue droning on about such meaningless drivel as ESG and global warming.

 

Breaking: Tucker Carlson Releases Episode 2 of His Twitter Series – Questions Obama’s “Highly Creepy Personal Life” and the Epidemic of Child Sex Abuse  By Jim Hoft

Jun. 8, 2023 6:07 pm – Tucker Carlson released Episode Two in his Tucker on Twitter Series on Thursday night.

Tucker’s first video has over 100 million views.

In Episode 2 Tucker confronts American taboos including Barack Obama’s creepy marriage and the epidemic of child sexual abuse.

Tucker Carlson: By 2008, it was obvious to anybody who was paying attention that Barack Obama had a strange and highly creepy personal life, yet nobody ever asked him about it. By that point, a leader’s behavior within his own marriage, the core relationship of his life, had been declared irrelevant. It was Barack Obama’s business, not yours. One by one, with increasing speed, our old taboos have been struck down. Those that remain have lost their moral force. Stealing, flaunting your wealth, striking women, smoking marijuana on the street shameless public hypocrisy, taking other people’s money for not working. All of these things used to be considered unacceptable in America. Not anymore. So it probably shouldn’t surprise us that the greatest taboo of all is teetering on the edge of acceptability child molestation. A generation ago, talking to someone else’s children about sex was widely considered grounds for a thrashing.

You won’t want to miss Episode Two!

 

Trump Campaign Releases Statement on Indictment: “The Biden administration and their henchmen in the Swamp are now conducting an all-out prosecution of the leader of the current administration’s political opposition. This is un-American and wrong”   By Kristinn Taylor

Jun. 8, 2023 8:35 pm – The Trump campaign issued a statement on the indictment of President Trump Thursday night. The statement contains a lengthy background section on the Presidential Records Act, Biden’s own issues with classified documents and goes after Special Counsel Jack Smith. The statement also notes Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence, who is now running against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, had unsecured classified documents at his Indiana home.

The Trump campaign points out Joe Biden kept classified documents in his unsecured garage at his Delaware home.

The complete statement can be read at the Trump campaign site.

THE REGIME STRIKES BACK: On Same Day Document Is Released that Shows Joe Biden Taking $5 Million Bribe from Ukraine – Biden DOJ Announces Trump’s Federal Indictment on Junk Charges   By Jim Hoft

Jun. 8, 2023 7:12 pm – Earlier today the House Oversight were finally allowed by the corrupt Biden FBI to view an “unclassified” document proving Joe Biden was taking bribes from Ukraine for political favors.

This is the most egregious criminal accusation against any sitting president.

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Thursday emerged from the SCIF and revealed explosive information about the Biden bribery document.

The Ukraine-Biden-bribery evidence was first presented to the FBI by a trusted, highly credible, well paid informant back in 2017. Meanwhile Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden enjoyed a highly lucrative position as a board member of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company. According to MTG, the bribery allegations appear to involve Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian oligarch who hired Hunter Biden to serve on the board of Burisma Holdings.

Read: Dr. Peter McCullough On “The Holy Grail Of COVID-19 Vaccine Detoxification”

MTG said, “Back in 2015, 2016, Burisma was looking to buy a US-based oil and gas company and this came from being advised by Hunter Biden and his partners.”

She continued, “This was around the time that Joe Biden had said the Ukrainian prosecutor [Viktor] Shokin was corrupt. They hired Hunter on the board to make the problems go away. Hunter advised that they could raise more money if they bought a US company…”

 

The Ukrainian Counteroffensive Has Begun – Heavy Fighting in Zaporozhie – Kiev’s Forces Are Taking Massive Losses – Elite Troops Wait to Advance to Melitopol and Cut Land Bridge to Crimea   By Paul Serran

Jun. 8, 2023 9:00 am – The much-hyped Ukrainian Counteroffensive finally gained a lot of momentum today, even if it, so far, has yielded no territorial results – in fact, Ukrainian officials are denying that it has even started, and by now, we know that they’ll only ever announce it when (or if) they capture some minimally meaningful village or settlement.

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov: “When we start the counteroffensive, everyone will know about it, they will see it.”

Downstream from the Kakhovsk dam, catastrophic flooding is still ongoing, mainly in the areas of the eastern bank of the river controlled by Russia – Russian Federation’s Ministry of Emergency Situations and volunteers working in the region to help civilians.

But regardless of who destroyed the dam, since the flooding in Kherson makes it impossible for large troops to cross the swelling Dnieper river in the next weeks, now both armies are free to move their troops west and north into the areas that will be the main theater of operations of the counteroffensive, in Zaporozhie and Donetsk.

 

Georgia’s WEF Puppet Governor Brian Kemp Rolls Out Digital IDs for All Citizens   by Leo Hohmann

Jun. 8, 2023 2:20 pm – Georgia recently became one of at least 12 states that is rolling out new digital ID driver’s licenses, which of course is exactly what the globalists at the World Economic Forum have been clamoring for since the onset of their push for a “Great Reset,” where they basically digitize all of the basic functions in life, including the bodies of human beings.

Georgia joined the ranks of Arizona, Maryland and Colorado where digital IDs have already been implemented. Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma and Utah are also in various stages of getting their digital ID programs up and running. See the whole list here.

If you recall, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp was an invited guest at the annual meeting of the globalist, elitist World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January 2023. He traveled to Davos on the Georgia taxpayers’ dime along with Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, a slew of BlackRock executives and other high-rollers. He felt real important and told CNBC that he was there to “sell Georgia.”

Well it hasn’t taken him long to sell out his fellow Georgians.

Government officials working under the Kemp administration are using all of the globalist boilerplate talking points to encourage as many naïve Georgians as possible to sign up for a digital ID containing biometric data so they can be tagged and tracked by the system. You know, the bit about it being “safer,” “more secure” and “convenient.”

 

Trump says the DOJ has indicted him in “DARK DAY for the country”

Trump’s reference to the “boxes hoax” appears to refer the FBI’s seizure of materials from his Mar-a-Lago estate in August of last year.

June 8, 2023 – 7:50pm – Former President Donald Trump on Thursday announced that the Department of Justice has indicted him and that he must appear at a Miami courthouse on Tuesday.

“The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1850 Boxes at the University of Delaware, additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is ‘secured’ by only a garage door that is paper thin, and open much of the time,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

CNN has reported that Trump faces seven counts, citing anonymous sources. The DOJ has not made any official announcement as of press time.

[Ed.:  I guess he just couldn’t hold on to the Presidency after we elected him… Every day has been a “dark day for the country” ever since he left the government in the hands of the election thieves! Now we have nothing left but delusions of the next election.]

 

“I’m Honest!” – Biden Tells Giant Whopper of a Lie When Asked About the ‘Independence’ of the Justice Department (VIDEO)   By Cristina Laila

Jun. 8, 2023 5:30 pm – Joe Biden on Thursday held a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak after their bilateral meeting in the Oval Office.

Biden grew impatient because reporters actually asked him real questions for a change.

A reporter for the New York Post asked Joe Biden about the FBI document revealing he sold out the country.

“Congresswoman Nancy Mace says there’s damning evidence in an FBI file that you sold out the country. Do you have a response to Congressional Republicans?” The New York Post’s Steve Nelson asked Joe Biden.

Biden blurted out a damning response!

“Where’s the money?” Biden said.

Another reporter asked Biden about the ‘independence and fairness’ of the Justice Department.

Biden’s Justice Department is currently preparing to indict Trump.

Joe Biden insisted he has “never once suggested…what they should do or not do relative to bringing a charge.”

“I’m honest!” Biden shouted.

This may be one of Joe Biden’s biggest lies yet.

Twitter Mass Deletes Videos of Syrian Asylum Seeker Who Stabbed Children in France   By Jim Hoft

Jun. 8, 2023 4:53 pm – On Thursday, The Gateway Pundit reported that police arrested a migrant from Syria for a mass stabbing attack targeting children in a park in Annecy, France.

Various reports have stated the number of injured is as high as eight. However, the latest report states four children and two adults were wounded in the attack, with two children and one of the adults hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.

French outlet Le Dauphine reports the attacker was yelling “in the name of Jesus Christ” (language not stated):

Via translation: “The author cried out “In the name of Jesus Christ” The assailant said “In the name of Jesus Christ” twice at the time of the attack. The man, who was wearing a Christian cross when he was arrested, presented himself as a “Christian from Syria” when applying for asylum at the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (Ofpra) on November 28, 2022.”

Video showing a minute-and-a-half of the attack has gone viral.

However, Twitter has begun to mass delete videos linked to the appalling incident in France involving a Syrian asylum seeker.

Some users argue that this move amounts to censorship, contending that it restricts free speech and impedes the spread of information. Critics suggest that social media giants like Twitter have too much power in shaping public discourse and potentially hiding important realities.

Satellite Imagery from College of DuPage Meteorology Department Shows Over a Dozen Fires in Quebec Start Up at Almost the Exact Same Time  By Brian Lupo

Jun. 8, 2023 5:45 pm – The northeastern United States was engulfed yesterday with a massive blanket of smoke from wildfires burning in Quebec since Tuesday.  New York City quickly all but disappeared behind the orangish haze.  Yesterday, The Gateway Pundit shared a story containing a video of the George Washington Bridge that was tweeted by Marjorie Taylor Greene, as well as a time lapse of the smoke rolling into the Big Apple.

The fires reportedly originated in Quebec, Canada.  Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to Twitter to thank Joe Biden for sending hundreds of US firefighters up to Canada to help with the blaze while also, of course, blaming climate change.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy made sure to declare his allegiance to the climate change zealots as well in his statement yesterday:

“Make no mistake, from the wildfires in Canada to those cropping up with increasing frequency and severity in our own backyard, these extreme weather events are tangible – and devastating – evidence of the intensifying climate crisis.”

Satellite imagery shared by Wide Awake Media on Twitter shows plumes of smoke rising from at least 17 separate visible sites (over 100 separate fires have been reported) at around 6pm EST, according to the video.  At the 47 second mark in the video below, you can see the smoke stacks begin to emerge almost simultaneously from central and southeast Quebec:

Apocalyptic Haze Engulfs New York City as Canadian Wildfires Push Air Quality to Unprecedented Levels, Making it the World’s Most Polluted City  (VIDEO)   By Jim Hoft

Jun. 7, 2023 4:05 pm – In a press conference held Wednesday, Mayor Eric Adams expressed his concern over the unprecedented air quality crisis that has engulfed New York City.

The relentless spread of smoke from the Canadian wildfires has created a looming environmental crisis in the Northeastern United States. The wildfires, which have been burning for weeks, have intensified, releasing massive amounts of smoke. Prevailing winds have carried the smoke southward, blanketing major metropolitan areas, including New York City.

Air quality monitoring stations throughout the city have reported alarming levels of smog, and other pollutants, well above the safe thresholds set by regulatory agencies. The dense smoke has reduced visibility, casting an eerie orange glow over the cityscape.

 

Here We Go… NASA Warns of Internet Apocalypse that Will Disable Internet for Months   By Jim Hoft

Jun. 8, 2023 4:00 pm – As if living in Joe Biden’s America is not difficult enough with record high inflation, exploding gas prices, political targeting and prosecutions, and a completely dishonest legacy media, now scientists are warning of a solar apocalypse that will disable the internet for months.

Just the fact that they are talking like this has some wondering why is this information being released now?

CF.org reported.

A groundbreaking mission by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has successfully ventured through solar wind for the first time aiming to prevent people on earth being unable to get on the internet.

Scientists have issued warnings about the potential impact of a solar storm, commonly referred to as an “internet apocalypse,” which could strike within the next decade.

The spacecraft, which was launched five years ago, went on a remarkable journey which took it close to the sun’s surface, where solar wind is generated.

Solar wind consists of a continuous stream of charged particles emanating from the sun’s outermost atmosphere, known as the corona.

Despite the extreme conditions of intense heat and radiation, the Parker Solar Probe persevered to gather crucial insights into the workings of the sun.

Professor Stuart Bale, the lead author of the study and affiliated with California University in the United States, explained the significance of understanding solar wind.

He said: “Winds carry lots of information from the sun to Earth. So understanding the mechanism behind the sun’s wind is important for practical reasons on Earth.

“That’s going to affect our ability to understand how the sun releases energy and drives geomagnetic storms – which are a threat to our communication networks.”

Such an event could leave people without internet access for months or even years, rendering satellites and power lines useless.

Twitter’s New CEO And Her Role Within The Censorship Industrial Complex    TEXAS LINDSAY

Linda Yaccarino: the Corporatist Queen once dubbed “The Velvet Hammer”

JUN 8, 2023 ∙ PAID – Linda Yaccarino officially started her new role as Twitter CEO this week. Many have voiced concerns over her role as an Executive Chair on the World Economic Forum (WEF), [Emphasis added] which is a valid concern. However, when it comes to the concept of freedom of speech, and weighing in on what should or should not be censored the role she played within the Censorship Industrial Complex is far more concerning if it ends up being a reflection of her decision-making for the so-called digital town square.

After spending a week reading an endless sea of emails and documents at Twitter HQ to help cover the Twitter Files, it was evident how decisions were made on who to censor and which organizations, agencies and NGO’s lobbied for such censorship. Several requests sought to censor political opponents, or remove dissenting opinions, especially those that countered the government’s approved narrative.

Learning that Elon Musk’s pick for the new Twitter CEO played a role within this complex is deeply concerning.

Bulkpost from Brownstone Institute  

Mask up, cancel everything, stay indoors, and listen to public-health authorities. Pay no attention to any misinformation. There’s another emergency this time born of climate change. 

It’s like clockwork. One goes, another comes. It’s the model. And they will keep deploying it so long as they can.

There’s a reason why there haven’t been any real apologies. It’s because they aren’t sorry for the last three years. The new normal is to stay in a constant state of fear. There will be no end to this until the people demand one and real changes are made.

And make no mistake: those who dissent are being targeted now, and ever more aggressively. Still, there can be no backing down. Just the opposite. Rights and freedoms must never be given up and must be defended.

We are extremely pleased that Maryanne Demasi has joined as a fellow for 2023. Of everything Brownstone does, this program could be the most valuable and unusual. We look at merit and need and provide a real lifeline and freedom to write and research, as much as possible, in these emergency times. It’s a quiet program with a massive impact. It’s also a scalable program based entirely on resources provided by donors. Currently we have 8 fellows but we could expand that if it becomes possible. You can certainly help!

Another of our fellows, Dr. Simon Goddek, joins us on June 14th for our supper club. You are welcome to come listen to him and meet.

Will we see you at Porcfest in two weeks? Brownstone has all day, every day, talks and discussions. You can meet our Fellows and hear talks by top medical professionals, economists, and others.

Europe’s Digital Services Act Puts Free Speech at the Mercy of Eurocrats By David Thunder. The Digital Services Act is an endless maze of complicated regulations worthy of a team of lawyers. Seeing as I don’t have a budget to hire a team of lawyers, I decided to skim through the Act for myself. It does not make for pleasant bedtime reading, not only because it is a morass of complicated legalese, but also, because what hides behind this legalese is an attempt by EU politicians to get social media platforms under their thumb

Fifteen Great Books for Summer Reading By Steve Templeton. So you’re going to the beach this summer, but have already finished the light and airy Fear of a Microbial Planet (why haven’t you left a review, by the way?), and for some strange reason you haven’t had your fill of fear and germs, so you are wondering what else to read.

Atlantic Council Takes Up the Censorship Sword by Andrew Lowenthal. Why would such a group all gather specifically around the question of “disinformation”? Is disinformation truly at such a level that it requires bringing together the world’s most popular author with military and intelligence leaders, the world’s biggest PR company, journalists, billionaires, Big Tech and more? Or is this work to build the case that there is a disinformation crisis, to then justify the creation of a massive infrastructure for censorship? A glimpse of the agenda offers clues.

How the Department of Treasury Got Involved in Censorship By Aaron Kheriaty. The Department of Treasury also coordinated with CISA to censor information that undermines “public confidence” in “financial services” and “financial systems”. Consider: if you raised questions about our banking system or the behavior of the Federal Reserve on Twitter or Facebook, the government was attempting to censor this information. This is a truly Orwellian monster operating under the flimsy excuse of protecting the “national security” and the “safety” of Americans. If you aren’t sufficiently alarmed yet, you should be.

The Failure of Lockdowns: IEA Speaks By Brownstone Institute. “Numerous misleading studies, driven by subjective models and overlooking significant factors like voluntary behaviour changes, heavily influenced the initial perception of lockdowns as highly effective measures. Our meta-analysis suggests that when researchers account for additional variables, such as voluntary behaviour, the impact of lockdowns becomes negligible.”

Nothing Like This Ever Happened Before By Yuri Biondi. A leader or an expert who claims he can fix everything, if only we do exactly as he says, can prove an irresistible force. We do not need to confront a bayonet, we need only a nudge, before we willingly abandon the nicety of requiring laws to be adopted by our legislative representatives and accept rule by decree. Along the way, we will accede to the loss of many cherished civil liberties—the right to worship freely, to debate public policy without censorship, to gather with friends and family, or simply to leave our homes.

The Death of the Authentic Left By Toby Rogers. The left political project now is just kitsch, a toxic mimic of its former self, deployed by the ruling class to enslave the world. The question is, why are so few people on the left able to see this? Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky, and Michael Moore, to name a few, should have been able to spot the Covid psyop in about 5 minutes. Instead they became rabid cheerleaders for fascism.

And Now the Problem of Exploding Hand Sanitizer By Justin Hart. Compounding the issue was the challenge of dealing with hazardous waste. Disposing of sanitizer should be treated with the same caution as other hazardous waste, but the process is expensive and tedious. This daunting task was magnified by several fires involving vast quantities of unsellable hand sanitizer across the country in the past year.

The Silencing of the Experts By Thorsteinn Siglaugsson. As Kant explained in 1784, the silencing of the experts drives the loop of immaturity, preventing enlightenment. We must therefore ask ourselves, what if this spell was broken? How much closer would we be to an enlightened society? How safely would we be removed from entangling ourselves in those invisible chains, preventing us from living a full life, as truly autonomous and enlightened individuals?

The Destruction of Language as Tool of Power  By Thomas Harrington. It’s currently very fashionable in certain circles to talk about emotional resilience. What no one seems to talk about is cognitive or intellectual resilience, and how under the pressure of the semantic literalists it is being torn to pieces before our eyes. Language is a wonderful and amazingly complex tool that, if properly honed, allows for the perception and expression of nuanced understandings of the world, and from there, the imaginative creation of new hopes and possibilities.

The Plan: Lock You Down for 130 Days By Jayanta Bhattacharya. Imagine the early days of the next pandemic, with public health and the media fomenting fear of a new pathogen. The impetus to close schools, businesses, churches, beaches, and parks will be irresistible, though the pitch will be “130 days until the vax” rather than “two weeks to flatten the curve.” When the vaccine finally arrives, the push to mass vaccinate for herd immunity will be enormous, even without evidence from the rushed trials that the vaccine provides long-lasting protection against disease transmission.

Twenty Grim Realities Unearthed by Lockdowns  By Jeffrey A. Tucker. If you haven’t changed your thinking over the last three years, you are a prophet, indifferent, or asleep. Much has been revealed and much has changed. To meet these challenges, we must do so with our eyes wide open. The greatest threats to human liberty today are not the ones of the past and they elude easy ideological categorization. Further, we have to admit that in many ways the plain human desire to live a fulfilling life in freedom has been subverted. If we want our freedoms back, we need to have a full understanding of the frightening challenges before us.

How the Medical Industry Burned Its Trust Capital By Robert Blumen. Reputation and trust is a bit like capital. The opinions that peers and customers have about a person, institution or business is earned over a long time through honesty, reliability.  Consistent virtuous action is a form of investment.

Discovery Is the Covid Regime’s Greatest Fear By Brownstone Institute. All indications are that the judicial system will favor a final and clean decision for free speech, even if that only comes at the hands of the Supreme Court at a much later date. That does not fix the continuing problem now and does not guarantee that government and business will not continue this in the future. But at least for now, there is some reason for hope that the Bill of Rights is not entirely dead.

One Health: Subverted, Corrupted, and Ruined By David Bell. In the end, mad ideologues collapse under the weight of their own deceit and the shallowness of their dogmas. The earth-mother religion of a corrupted One Health and the feudalist ambitions of its priests will be no different. We should not fear public health or a holistic view of the world. They are ours and can be a force for good. Rather, we should expose the hollowness of the people who would subvert them, driven by their own greed and barren ideologies.

The High Cost of Shattering Sensible Boundaries  By Thomas Harrington. Boundary-setting, and with it the transmission of trans-generational knowledge and the ability to calculate one’s true emotional proximity to others, are essential elements of a healthy culture. For reasons having a lot to do with the Baby Boomer generation’s tendency to often flippantly dispense with time-tested cultural knowledge in the name of “progress” and or “liberation,” many children have been deprived of an opportunity to gain these valuable skills.

 

DeSantis War Room Twitter Page Posts Video That Uses Fake AI-Generated Images of President Trump Hugging Dr. Fauci   By Brian Lupo

Jun. 8, 2023 3:10 pm – This is going to be the wildest election season in our nation’s history:

  • The former President of the United States and front runner for the Republican nomination is being investigated by a DOJ led by his likely competitor in the 2024 General Election.
  • The closest Republican competitor was greatly aided by the endorsement from President Trump to help win his gubernatorial election in 2018.
  • The Democratic incumbent has a viable challenger but will reportedly not engage in a debate.

But despite all of the controversy surrounding this already in full-swing election, this is perhaps Pandora’s box:

The use of Artificial Intelligence to mislead voters.

On June 5th, the Twitter page “DeSantis Warroom,” which dubs itself “Rapid Response for Ron DeSantis,” posted a 43 second clip comparing “Reality TV Trump” to “Real Life Trump”.  In the clip, they show Trump “firing” people on his former TV show, “The Apprentice,” before transitioning to Trump discussing why he couldn’t fire Dr. Fauci.  They posted a collage of photos of President Trump with Dr. Fauci.  In three of the photos, President Trump is actually hugging Fauci.

But three of the six photos are fake, according to analysis by AFP.

The three AI-generated images do not return results in a Google images search, according to AFP.

In one of the photos, you can see the White House placard in the background with the letters “EHTHAP” where it should say “THE WHITE HOUSE” (or portions of it).

The Verge also noted other signs the photos are AI-generated “include glossy and blurred textures (particularly in the hair and flesh of the two men), physically unrealistic poses (particularly in the top-left image), and an inaccurate reproduction of the White House press briefing room and its decorations.”

[Ed.:  Elon Musk’s Twitter is as bad or worse than the original.  We need to Twixit, and stop empowering him!]

 

NEW BOMBSHELL: OKI Ballot Printer Company Sends DAMNING “Response to Factual Errors in Maricopa County Elections Report” Debunking Maricopa County’s Lies About Ballot Printer Failures – LEFTWING MEDIA SILENT   By Jordan Conradson

Jun. 8, 2023 8:15 am – Maricopa County’s ballot printer source, OKI Data Americas, recently responded to the County’s sham ballot printer investigation, debunking false claims and demanding a corrected report from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.

According to OKI’s statement, Maricopa County did not even contact the company, and they were “completely unaware that an investigation was underway.”

The Gateway Pundit reported on Maricopa County’s Ballot-on-Demand Printer Investigation led by former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Ruth McGregor.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell later called for consequences for the stolen Maricopa County Midterm Election and the “cover-up” investigation by election officials.

It is apparent from OKI’s response that on election day and prior, Maricopa County did not accurately conduct tests or even read the printer manual. This discredits the entire investigation by Maricopa County. They either lied or were so incompetent that they couldn’t follow basic instructions. What else did they hide?

OKI writes, “Without clarification in the testing process that defines the exact paper type and the printing source (multipurpose tray or cassette), the conclusion is disingenuous given the fact that the use of 100 lb. paper can be out of specification for the B432 printers, as can be discerned readily from the printers’ manual.”

 

BREAKING: Journalist Emerald Robinson Releases Transcript of Tucker’s Final Unaired Monologue – Where He Discusses Ray Epps, AOC and Jen Psaki – Twitter Censors the Report!   By Jim Hoft

Jun. 8, 2023 9:15 am – Emerald Robinson, the host of “Absolute Truth with Emerald Robinson” at Frank Speech was able to obtain a copy of Tucker Carlson’s final monologue for his canceled show on FOX News.

Emerald posted the transcript from Tucker’s final monologue at Emerald.TV.

Tucker starts out by blasting Jen Psaki, a top Democrat and totalitarian who believes freedom of speech is a thing of the past.

Members of Congress aren’t allowed to talk like this. The Constitution of the United States prohibits it. American citizens have an inalienable right to critique and criticize their political leaders. Our politicians are not gods. They’re instruments of the public’s will. They serve the rest of us, not the other way around. For that obvious reason, politicians can never censor our speech or try to control what we think. That unchanging fact is the basis of our founding documents, of our political system and our personal freedoms. As a former government official who claims now to be a journalist, Jen Psaki should know this, and defend America’s foundational principle. She refuses. Instead, Psaki nods along like a fan as Sandy Cortez calls for law enforcement to shut down news programming. The White House Correspondents Association and various other self-described advocates of press freedom stay silent too. Apparently they agree with Ocasio-Cortez, or they’re too afraid to say otherwise.

Tucker then goes on to discuss how Congresswoman and open Marxist AOC wants his show canceled.

She’s demanding that our show be canceled because the things we’re saying are quote, “very clearly an incitement to violence.” Is this true? Even accounting for the fact that people tend to hear what they want to hear, it is not true. It’s a lie, as anyone who watches this show knows. We are opposed to violence, not just philosophically but in practical terms. We’re against violent crime — the strong oppressing the weak. We’re against the horrors of late-term abortion and state-encouraged euthanasia. And above all we’re passionately opposed to the violent and pointless cruelty of the war in Ukraine, which the Biden Administration could end at any moment, thus saving the lives of innocents, but is instead prolonging purely for ideological reasons. Those are the things we dislike the most — the acts of violence our leaders endorse. Ocasio-Cortez is one of those leaders. She supports every one of those indefensible things, from abortion in the ninth month of pregnancy to extending the carnage in Ukraine. Who, honestly, is on the side of violence?

And Tucker Carlson then revisits the quandary of Ray Epps.

[Ed.:  So, Twitter continues to censor free speech!!  I never trusted Elon Musk anyway!]

 

EXCLUSIVE: The Monologue That Got Tucker Carlson Fired   EMERALD ROBINSON

JUN 8, 2023  – On April 24th, Fox News stopped Tucker from exposing Ray Epps, Jen Psaki & AOC in this never-released opening speech

Note: What follows is the text of Tucker Carlson’s opening monologue for his show on April 24th, 2023. He was fired, and his show was canceled, over concerns by Fox News executives about the content of this monologue — which was never aired. Sections placed in parentheses here are, generally, directions for where producers should place video clips.

(Here’s the lead I’m envisioning. Sandy Cortes just did an interview with Jen Psaki in which she demands that authorities pull our show off the air. )

Members of Congress aren’t allowed to talk like this. The Constitution of the United States prohibits it. American citizens have an inalienable right to critique and criticize their political leaders. Our politicians are not gods. They’re instruments of the public’s will. They serve the rest of us, not the other way around. For that obvious reason, politicians can never censor our speech or try to control what we think. That unchanging fact is the basis of our founding documents, of our political system and our personal freedoms. As a former government official who claims now to be a journalist, Jen Psaki should know this, and defend America’s foundational principle. She refuses. Instead, Psaki nods along like a fan as Sandy Cortez calls for law enforcement to shut down news programming. The White House Correspondents Association and various other self-described advocates of press freedom stay silent too. Apparently they agree with Ocasio-Cortes, or they’re too afraid to say otherwise.

It’s distressing to watch this. The last thing America needs is more public figures saying radical things. What if we came on the air five nights a week and called for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes to be handcuffed and carted away because we don’t like her political views? We could certainly do that. We never would, because it would be terrible for our country. Extremism is self-perpetuating — the more you encourage, the more you get, exponentially. We don’t want that. We want to live in the United States we had a few years ago, where people who disagreed with one another were willing to debate directly, using facts and reason, and didn’t call for their opponents’ imprisonment. We’ll do whatever we can to return to that standard, including giving Sandy Cortez airtime. She is welcome on this show any time. We’ll travel to meet her anywhere, and give her the full hour. We’ll be civil and rational, and let those watching decide who’s got a more appealing vision for America’s future. We’ve asked her to come on this show many times. We’ll continue to do that.

 

Suicidal Ideation Disparities Among Transgender and Gender Diverse Compared to Normal Gender Community Health Patients  PETER A. MCCULLOUGH, MD, MPH™

Suicidal Thoughts Skyrocket in Transgender Individuals

JUN 8, 2023 – Almost every night on the news there is another story about “gender journeys” that end up in regret. We frequently see gatherings, strife, violence, and despair among those who have attempted to live out their fantasy of switching genders by changing their bodily appearance, hair, makeup, and clothes. I wondered if transgenderism is taking its toll psychiatrically in young individuals with regret, particularly with respect to suicidal thoughts.

Kirakosian et al reported on 29,988 patients receiving care at a community health center in Northeastern US between 2015 and 2018 and completed a health survey. They reported that relative to normal men, transgender men (OR=2.08; 95% CI=1.29–3.36; p=.003), transgender women (OR=3.08; 95% CI=2.05–4.63; p<.001), men who do not affirm their gender (OR=3.55; 95% CI=1.86–6.77; p<001), and women who do not affirm their gender (OR=2.49; 95% CI=1.52–4.07; p<001) all endorsed significantly higher odds of current suicidal ideation, controlling for age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and insurance status.

USDA’s Phony ‘Animal Welfare’ Rule and Other Shenanigans   Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

June 8, 2023

What You Don’t Know About 90% of ‘Organic’ Eggs

Organics were supposed to be our guarantee of wholesome food but, tragically, organic standards have eroded over the years through the lobbying and willful violations of factory-farm producers who today supply 90% of ‘organic’ eggs. And now, the situation’s about to become even worse.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Draft regulation currently under consideration would legalize factory farm conditions for organic chickens
  • While the proposed rule claims to protect and improve “animal welfare” in organic farming, all it will accomplish is the further destruction of independent organic farmers who do things right and therefore cannot compete with “organic” mega-corporations that can sell their foods at far lower prices because they cheat on the organic standards
  • OrganicEye, an organic industry watchdog, warns the proposed rules undermine organic standards further by permanently codifying practices that violate the spirit of organics, and even the current letter of the law
  • The proposed rule would allow organic poultry farmers to stack birds in multitiered aviaries stretching from floor to ceiling, providing as little as 1 square foot of space per animal. Outdoor space requirements are also limited to 1 to 2 square feet, depending on the size of the bird
  • The draft rule allows egg-laying hens to be confined for the first 16 to 21 weeks of its life, and broiler chickens can be confined until just one or two weeks before their scheduled slaughter. The rule also allows half of the outdoor area to be covered in either concrete or gravel, which prevents the chickens from engaging in their natural instinctual behavior, which is already an organic requirement
