‘We Won Completely’: Weinstein Says COVID ‘Conspiracy Theorists’ Were Totally Vindicated

Not so long ago, everything below was a bannable offense – usually based on the vapid logic of some 24-year-old “trust & safety” associate. In a clip circulating Thursday, evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein takes stock of what the dissidents actually won for their trouble, Vigilant Fox reports.

WEINSTEIN: “We live in two worlds simultaneously at the moment. I remember conversations that I had with people I cared deeply about at the beginning of COVID right as the lab leak story was beginning to crack.”

“What I saw was, actually, I think we’re going to win the lab leak story. We’re not yet winning the vaccine story, and we’re way behind on the repurposed drug story.

“In 2026, here’s what we see. We actually won. Completely. All of these things are now visible to anybody who wishes to see them.

Yet, while hearts and minds were won and ‘conspiracy theorists’ vindicated, we have a limp dicked government that won’t hold anyone’s feet to the fire. 

“And we’ve lost completely. Our capacity to do anything about this is now on full display. We have none.”

“Your ability to simply get the story clear enough and enough evidence on the table does not have an impact on what happens next.

“We’re still apparently dispensing these frickin shots. How crazy is that? Right after all that we have unearthed, after all the people who lost their careers to unearth this stuff, they’re still dispensing the frickin shots.”

WEINSTEIN: “We need to figure out now how to talk to the people who actually have goodness in their hearts, but are still so desperately confused.

“You have to figure out how to approach them with enough generosity of spirit that you can get them over the line to just seeing. You can get them to take off the blindfold.”

Fauci Diaries: Delusional Anthony Fauci Believed Attacks on Him Were a Rightwing Plot to ‘Destroy Democracy’

Attacks on Anthony Fauci were part of a right-wing plot to “destroy democracy,” former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) head Anthony Fauci mused in his personal diary released by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

When Fauci was not marveling over his rise to global fame or desperately reaching out to former President Barack Obama for PR help as his reputation sank to new depths, Fauci convinced himself that attacks against him were all part of an elaborate plot of the political right to “destroy democracy.”

In an October 3, 2021 entry, Fauci wrote that the country “is headed to or might already be in a constitutional crisis with the far right clearly indicating that they’re going to try and disrupt elections and essentially destroy the democracy.”

“The attacks on me I believe are all a tangential part of that process,” Fauci surmised, flattering himself in the process.

“I speak of the big lie of which I unfortunately have been drawn into being a target of the far right because I represent something that is antithetical to them, namely, the truth,” he continued.

It is a remarkable delusion, given that Fauci wrote in this same diary that the fatality rate of coronavirus was quite lower than what he was saying publicly.

He continued:

It is stunning how much time is consumed on warding off the egregious lies about the NIID grant that funded hey [sic] small project in the Wuhan institute of virology. They claim that we created the COVID virus. Among the scientist who fall into this trap are the usual suspects of Richard Ebright and David Relmann. However, Jesse Bloom has really surprised me claiming that a lab leak is highly probable when there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that a lab leak has occurred the only issue is that it occurred in a city that happened to have a laboratory that studies bats. Amazing that he has come to this conclusion.

That is yet another incredible claim given that — in this same diary — Fauci admitted that most of the scientists who participated in a January 2020 call “felt that deliberate insertion was possible.”

In an August 2021 entry, Fauci, again, went after conservatives, complaining that the “conspiracy of the far right and the Trump loyalists continues” against him.

“Recently representative Mike McCall the minority On the House Foreign Affairs Committee released a report by the panel’s republican staff essentially saying that the lab leak was the cause of COVID-19 and hinting the NIH’s role in creating the virus. This is based on no new information or no new data. It is very clear what is going on and it needs to be called out,” he penned, claiming it was part of the “Big Lie” before ranting about the sequence of so-called “lies” of the right.

“First, trump [sic] actually won the election; next, January 6th was a friendly visit to the capital book shop; next trump [sic] was right and China caused the virus; next Fauci and the NIH helped the Chinese create the virus; next, discredit Fauci and it looks like trump [sic] is telling the truth,” he wrote. “It is plain and simple a concerted effort aimed at getting trump [sic] re-elected and exonerating him from any blame in the complete mess up of his response to COVID-19.”

Notably, it was Fauci who bragged about persuading local leaders to shut down schools and businesses, pushing cloth masks (despite dismissing masks as a “paranoid tool” in 2019), and demonizing unvaccinated Americans while public health officials lied about the vaccine, as they originally asserted it would prevent transmission of the virus and stop the vaccinated from contracting it. Former President Joe Biden himself made these claims, which were wholly untrue.

Joy Behar of ‘The View’ Suggests Trump is Going to Allow Saudi Arabia to Nuke the United States for Money 

Joy Behar of ‘The View’ is now pushing conspiracy theories about Trump’s nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia. During the broadcast on Thursday, she basically suggested that Trump is going to allow the Saudis to nuke the United States and that he is doing it for the money.

Every other day, a Democrat or someone in the media accuses Trump of pushing conspiracy theories, then Joy Behar talks like this and the same people are totally silent.

This show is bad for the country. Behar and her co-hosts push dangerous and toxic misinformation constantly.

Transcript via Nicholas Fondacaro of NewsBusters:

JOY BEHAR: The thing that I really can’t stand about him right now is that he starts a war in Iran because they’re going to get a nuclear weapon. Now, he’s making a deal with the Saudi Arabians that will allow them to produce a nuclear weapon.

Now, where is the head of the Republican Party in this, because they have the power to get rid of him.

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: And they will say that the Saudis are not allowed to make a nuclear weapon but they’re allowed to enrich.

BEHAR: Oh, I see. Then we’ll go to war with the 9/11 group. The Saudis were behind 9/11 and – and – Are they waiting for him to drop a nuke on Cleveland?! What are they waiting for to do something?!

Now I’m scared. See, I grew up hiding under the desk. I was one of those kids and you were probably too, Whoopi, where they said a nuclear bomb is about to hit, get under your desk, like that would do anything. And I’ve been scared of that. I never took my library books back because I said we’re all going to die any. That is a fact.

And now we have a guy enabling that rogue nation, because — by the way, they’re going to give tens of billions of dollars. That’s what is behind this. Follow the money with this guy!

HOSTIN: Always follow the money.

Widow of Corey Comperatore, the Firefighter Killed at Trump’s Butler Rally, Claims Shooting Was an “Inside Job”

Helen Comperatore, the wife of slain firefighter and Trump supporter Corey Comperatore sat down with NewsNation recently and gave her thoughts on the Trump Butler Rally shooting.

Former fire chief Corey Comperatore was shot and killed on July 14, 2024 while attending Trump’s Rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Since the shooting, numerous questions have been raised about the Secret Service’s security failures at the rally.

Among the most talked about is why agents did not secure the rooftop from which 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to open fire on President Trump and several rally attendees.

Helen Comperatore, in a sit-down interview, claimed the security lapses were due to the shooting being an “inside job.”

Helen stated, “I don’t believe there was another shooter there, but I believe he (Crooks) was working with somebody. I believe it was an inside job inside the government.”

Trump: FBI is ‘Wasting Their Time’ investigating conspiracy theories surrounding Lindsey Graham’s death

President Donald Trump brushed off rising online speculation surrounding the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham, stating on Tuesday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is “wasting their time” if they are investigating foul play or “conspiracy theories” rather than accepting the medical examiner’s preliminary findings of a natural heart condition.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office during a bilateral meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, Trump sought to dismiss rumors that the South Carolina Republican was targeted by foreign adversaries. Graham, 71, died suddenly over the weekend after what his office initially described as a brief illness.

A preliminary finding from the Washington, D.C., medical examiner’s office later revealed that his death was caused by an aortic dissection — a tear in the wall of the body’s main artery — linked to cardiovascular disease.

The sudden nature of the tragedy, coming immediately after Graham’s trip to Ukraine where he announced an agreement with the Trump administration to pursue a new package of sanctions against Russia, triggered a wave of unverified claims online.

Speculation intensified after FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Sunday that the bureau was assisting local authorities.

Former CIA Officer Drops Bombshell at MKULTRA Hearing: “I Don’t Believe the Research Stopped” — Luna Says Congress Was Lied to for 50 Years

Explosive testimony before the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets reveals decades of CIA crimes against unwitting Americans, evidence destruction, secret torture sites in Germany, and a continuing deep state effort to hide the truth from Congress and the American people.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) chaired a powerful hearing Tuesday titled “Mind Control and Accountability: Uncovering the Truth of the CIA’s MKULTRA Experiments,” dropping bombshell after bombshell on one of the darkest chapters in American intelligence history.

The CIA’s infamous MKULTRA program, which ran from 1953 to 1973, subjected countless unwitting victims, including American citizens, hospital patients, prisoners, and veterans, to LSD, psychological torture, electroshock, hypnosis, and sensory deprivation in a quest for mind control techniques.

In her opening remarks, Luna called the program “crimes committed by the Central Intelligence Agency against American citizens” and “crimes against humanity.”

“This was a deliberate, systematic governmental operation… authorized by the very top of U.S. intelligence apparatus,” Luna said.

She detailed how CIA Director Richard Helms personally ordered the destruction of MKULTRA records in 1973 as he left office. Sidney Gottlieb and his team spent an entire day burning 152 files.

Gottlieb then had his personal papers destroyed. The head of the CIA’s own records center protested in writing and was overruled.

“I Think Kamala Won” – Election Deniers Rosie O’Donnell and Jim Acosta Push Conspiracy Theory That Trump Stole the 2024 Election and is Rigging Midterms

Rosie O’Donnell and former CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta put their Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display this week, teaming up to push what has been referred to as “election denialism” and a “threat to democracy.”

During an interview on Acosta’s show, Rosie declared that Trump stole the election from Kamala Harris. Though Acosta was skeptical about the theory, he endorsed the idea that the midterms will be stolen or outright canceled by Trump.

“So most people are very, very, very shocked, scared, and absolutely astonished that he is the President of the United States, and I think I am too. I mean, part of the reason that I left is I never in a million years thought we would put a convicted felon who tried to start an insurrection back in office,” O’Donnell said. Very ironic considering Trump saying the election was stolen is what these people considered insurrection.

“How did that happen? I don’t think it happened. I think Kamala won. I do,” she continued, as Acosta called her idea “interesting.”

O’Donnell went on with her crazed theory, suggesting that Elon Musk was the golden ticket and that, perhaps, the tech billionaire had something to do with rigging the votes.

“And I think that we’re going to find all this out. It’s going to come out, and it’s, I’m not the first person to say this, there are all these researchers who are saying it. I read it online again today. And you know, the Elon Musk, of it all,” she said, asking Acosta, “What did he do for Donald that was able to give him back all that he gave him back? What did he do, you think, for the Donald in that election?”

But Acosta wasn’t willing to admit that it’s possible to cheat in elections. After all, that would make him a hypocrite after denying that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

“It’s hard to believe, I mean, especially now, that he, that he, that he won. I mean, it’s, it is hard to believe that. I mean, I, I tend to, you know, maybe it’s because I’m old-fashioned, you know, and patriotic, and grew up in this country, you know, watching, you know, Tom Hanks and Saving Private Ryan, I would never think that something like that can happen. So I tend to trust it,” he stammered. “But I do worry he’s going to try to steal the next one.”

Rosie took the conspiracy theory even further, claiming that Trump isn’t going to steal the election, but cancel it, calling him a “Fascist.”

“Well, I don’t think he’s going to try to steal it. I think he’s going to come up with some big tragedy. We’re going to have an event here in the United States in some capacity, maybe another assassination attempt, and he’s going to declare that the elections are off,” she said. “That’s what I think is going to happen because that’s in the Fascist playbook.”

Acosta was audibly agreeing with her, saying “yes” as she spewed her insane theories.

MSNOW CLOWN SHOW: Mika Blasts Trump for Questioning LA Mayor Race, Panel Then Floats Conspiracy Theories About Republicans Stealing the Midterms

MSNBC may have changed their name to MSNOW, but it’s still the same downright ridiculous network it has always been.

This morning, host Mika Brzezinski tore into President Trump for questioning the Los Angeles mayor race, implying that Trump is pushing conspiracy theories, even though millions of Americans agree with him and think the process has been completely mired in voter fraud.

Then, moments later, her panel launched into an entire segment speculating about how Republicans are going to try to steal the midterm elections.

You see how that works? Raising questions about something that is actually happening in front of our eyes is dangerous misinformation. Yet they are free to speculate about fantasy fraud that hasn’t happened.

Heads they win, tails you lose. Every single time.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: President Trump amplifying baseless claims of election fraud in California. This continues as vote counts show his endorsed candidate, Spencer Pratt, has been defeated in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Trump took to social media yesterday, writing in part, quote, “Not possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost the LA runoffs after the big lead he had. Rigged elections.” Here we go again…

That’s how California counts its ballots every year. I’ll speak slowly for those who are confused…

But I think the bigger picture is, there seems to be some sort of preparation going on here. That’s just my analysis. But it doesn’t feel good looking ahead to the midterms, the way these Republicans are behaving.

WILLIE GEIST: You’re not alone in that thought, by the way, Mika…

JIM VANDEHEI: Yeah, I mean, it really sucks for democracy. This is the stuff you see happen in a broken country, in a Third World country, where they’ve not been able to govern effectively. Every time you call into question whether or not our elections are valid, you weaken the soul of the country…

JONATHAN LEMIRE: What they’re doing is laying the groundwork.

MIKA: Yeah, what’s really going on?

LEMIRE: Two different plays they could take while claiming conspiracies as we look towards November’s midterms. They could claim irregularities, they can claim conspiracies and actively take measures to interfere with the vote.

Where’s the Beef? A Long-Gone Livestock-Eating Bug Is Back, and I have a Theory As to Why.

It turns out that a flesh-eating larva, the screwworm, not seen in the U.S. since 1966, has found its way back onto livestock ranches in southern Texas, and I smell a stink badger in the perfume aisle.

The infected calf (rumors have it that a second cow has been located, but I cannot yet verify this report) is on a ranch very close to the Mexican border. Authorities have set up a 12-mile quarantine zone around the ranch.

You may recall the feds arrested three Chinese scientists spies at the Detroit airport, one of whom was busted for sneaking in a fungus that could be used to wipe out our crops, and another was caught sneaking in roundworms, which are also devastating to mammals, including livestock.  

Here’s the fun part: Texas authorities arrested six camo-clad Chinese nationals with backpacks on a ranch in Texas on May 26, allegedly with the help of Mexican cartels. Less than a week later, the first case of screwworm was discovered. Somehow, that didn’t make the big Operation Mockingbird headlines. 

We do not yet know what the authorities found in those aforementioned backpacks.

The ranch where the Chinese were discovered is about 41 miles away from the ranch where the first infected calf was located, roughly a day-and-a-half walk. Both ranches are located very close to the Mexican border, in an area where few Chinese illegal border-rushers have been apprehended in the open-border years of the Biden administration.
