Why I Don’t Trust Legacy Media

During a bombshell Senate hearing last week, CIA officer, Jim Erdman III testified under oath that the CIA’s scientific analysts determined that the Covid pandemic started from a lab leak, but their scientific conclusions were hidden from Congress and the American public, in what Erdman called “a coverup.”

“Public policy would have been very different had the American public been made aware that a virus from a lab in China was going to serve as the foundation for an Emergency Use Authorization of mRNA products being mandated by the former administration,” Erdman said, questioning the validity of the Covid vaccine approval process.

Erdman also indicted Tony Fauci, the then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), for inserting himself into the Intelligence Community’s (IC) assessment of the Covid origins, on two documented occasions. In both instances, Fauci steered IC discussion toward a natural origin and away from declaring that the pandemic started from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which Fauci had funded via US government grants.

“Dr. Anthony Fauci influenced the IC’s analytic process and COVID origin’s findings by leveraging his position to ensure the IC consulted with a conflicted list of curated Subject Matter Experts (SME), public health officials, and scientists. This included the authors of the paper ‘The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2’ and other public health experts and scientists who have been in his orbit for 20+ years, many of whom have and did receive funding from NIAID, as well as scientists working under IC contract. This contradicts Dr. Fauci’s 2024 testimony to Congress, when he answered ‘not to my knowledge’ when asked if he had briefed any intel agency concerning viral research.” 

— Testimony of James E. Erdman III before the US Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee

Such explosive charges—a CIA coverup, Fauci’s complicity, and the misguided approval of Covid vaccines—should have ignited a media inferno, instead we got a cold frost. No front-page headline from the New York Times, no angry Washington Post editorial, no story of horror from NPR. And frozen silence from Science Magazine, Nature, Scientific American, and The Atlantic. Not even an icy tweet.

Now why is that? The answer is rather obvious.

Centers for Deception Control

he official name of the CDC is the Centers for Disease Control “and Prevention.” Tasked with prevention of disease is an agency that does not appear in the CDC’s flow chart, the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS).  According to the CDC:

EIS officers are CDC’s disease detectives who learn from and work alongside subject matter experts while providing service to domestic and international partner…

Worn-out shoe leather with a prominent hole worn through has been a recurring visual theme of EIS through the decades, a reference to the practice of EIS officers personally investigating disease outbreaks at the local population level, in all parts of the world…

EIS has a 75-year history of success in training disease detectives. EIS officers step up at a moment’s notice to investigate public health threats in the United States and around the world. From the Smallpox Eradication Program in the 1960s to the measles outbreak in 2025, EIS officers are called on to protect people and save lives…

A notable omission is the COVID pandemic from 2020-2023, which raises questions about CDC and EIS leadership. Consider Dr. Anne Schuchat, who began her CDC career with the EIS in 1988 and is thought to be the model for Dr. Erin Mears, Kate Winslet’s character in Contagion, from 2011.

In 2016, Schuchet became the first head of the CDC’s “National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD). From January 20-July 7, 2017 and January 31-March 26 in 2018 Schuchet served as acting CDC director — without confirmation by the U.S. Senate. CDC Chief Operating Officer Sherri Burger called Schuchat “our Anthony Fauci.” A government bureaucrat since 1968, Fauci was never once confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

“Something’s Going to Happen” – DHS Secretary: Ilhan Omar Did Indeed Marry Her Brother and Commit Immigration Fraud and Could Be Deported 

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told conservative media host Benny Johnson on Thursday night that Ilhan Omar did indeed marry her brother and could be deported.

Secretary Mullin confirmed that radical Somali immigrant Omar could be deported during their conversation on the floor of the the RNC National Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas.

Secretary Markwayne Mullin: “Something’s going to happen… We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States – possibly some illegal activity…”

“It’s not just this case, we’re looking at a number of cases similar to this where we’re looking at there may have been fraud from the get-go.”

Via Eric Daughterty:

The Gateway Pundit has been reporting on Ilhan’s alleged immigration fraud since 2019.

Do Americans know the story on how Ilhan Omar made it into the United States?  In July 2019 we reported on Omar’s father Nur Said. 

Here is what we reported:
David Steinberg published an extensive report on the alleged crimes and history of Rep. Ilhan Omar and the “Omar” family.

FOIA Records Appear To Reveal Kash Patel’s Priority Is Tracking Down His Critics

Records appear to reveal that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel has made tracking down his critics a priority.

The FOIA records appear to show Patel directing his team on Feb. 5 to identify social media accounts criticizing him and respond to them.

The directive was contained in a text exchange between Patel and the FBI’s assistant director for public affairs, included in the latest tranche of records released by the government as part of its review of materials related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The directive was contained in a text exchange between Patel and the FBI’s assistant director for public affairs, included in the latest tranche of records released by the government as part of its review of materials related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. (RELATED: ‘Not Going To Take This Laying Down’: Kash Patel Announces Move Against Media Hit Piece)

In the exchange, Patel appeared focused on the reach of posts criticizing him and shared an account with his public affairs assistant director (AD) to examine. The aide characterized the account as an “‘Epstein didn’t kill himself bot account,’” while offering Patel an explanation: “if you are wondering where it’s coming from.”

Patel pushed back on the suggestion that the engagement was largely bot-generated, arguing that the account’s reach represented genuine attention. “277k responses are not bots,” Patel wrote.

He then reminded the aide that he had specifically instructed his team to identify the accounts behind the criticism and engage with them by highlighting the FBI’s accomplishments. “What I asked you and your team to do is find them, and post our record year results back at them all, continuously,” Patel wrote, before asking whether the aide had “been doing that.”

The aide appeared to distinguish between the number of responses and the post’s overall visibility, explaining that the engagement Patel cited did not necessarily translate into meaningful reach. “That’s views – it’s 400 responses; a real visible tweet gets 5x that,” the aide wrote.

Australia: Officials Ask Parliament to Restrict Social Media Clips of Public Hearing Evidence

Just when you thought Australia’s steamrolling toward censorship couldn’t get any worse, the heads of Australian government departments want new limits on how members of parliament share recordings of officials testifying at public parliamentary hearings.

A new attempt to this end was made last week by the Secretaries Board, made up of the heads of Australia’s government departments. The board is currently chaired by Steven Kennedy, secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, which advises the prime minister and coordinates policy across the government.

The proposal was contained in a submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Parliamentary Standards.

The board is unhappy that politicians are using excerpts of the footage from these hearings, often to criticize the officials, and sometimes to ridicule them, by editing the clips and adding captions to highlight certain parts of the testimony.

Comments left on social media under these posts are also a major concern for the board, as they can be “highly offensive” – and sometimes even defamatory.

As examples, the board cites personal attacks on officials’ physical appearance (especially if they are women), their integrity, as well as comparisons to “Nazis, pedophiles, and other criminal offenders.”

Some of the “highlights” of the comments mentioned in the submission include “despicable,” “filth,” “political puppet,” “bigot,” “pig,” “KKK member,” “parasite,” “shill,” “criminal,” “fraud,” “clown,” and “lying corrupt grub.”

The board wants parliament to come up with “guidance” on how to use these recordings on social media, and lists several ways to do it, such as preventing “potentially harmful” use of committee evidence, and requiring that a link to the full hearing or transcript is provided whenever an extract of an official’s testimony is posted.

Another idea is to have MPs disable comments on social media when they post these clips, and make sure that the full, unedited version of the hearing, or the transcript, is made available instead of extracts.

Reporting on the submission described full hearings and transcripts as the preferred approach, with fallback restrictions on editing, captions and posts targeting individual officials.

The submission said that officials appearing at these public hearings “have not consented to a subsequent use of their image, or its use by parliamentarians and their political parties for party-political purposes.”

And the board also complained of “the increasing use of excerpts from committee proceedings on social media, particularly where material is presented without context and exposes officials to ridicule, hostility or abuse.”

The proposal was rejected by Greens Senator Steph Hodgins-May, who said that bureaucrats should not be allowed to decide how parliamentarians do their job, and that the proposed restrictions would be an attempt to “take the teeth out of parliamentary scrutiny.”

“Bureaucrats shouldn’t get to decide where to draw the line on parliamentary scrutiny, particularly when they’re the ones being scrutinised,” Hodgins-May said. “Restricting what parliamentarians can post from public proceedings is not the answer. This looks like an attempt to take the teeth out of parliamentary scrutiny. Frankly, if this scrutiny wasn’t having an impact, they wouldn’t be so worried about it.”

But the board’s proposal is not the first of its kind. In fact, the previous week, Celia Perkins, deputy secretary of Australia’s Department of Defence, made a similar request to a parliamentary hearing, asking that the committee prevent MPs from sharing video and audio of officials appearing at public hearings on social media.

Perkins said that public servants giving evidence “do not consent to the reposting of our evidence to social media sites or the reproduction of our likenesses for the purposes outside the framework of the parliament and the transparent public proceedings of this committee.”

However, the Senate committee rejected the request on the advice of the Senate clerk.

Professor Luke Beck from the Monash University Law School, who specializes in constitutional law, believes that the latest proposal may be unconstitutional because it would likely violate the implied freedom of political communication in the Australian Constitution by “directly and expressly” burdening political communication.

25 Years Ago a Bunch of Important People Skipped Work for No Reason

25 years ago today a bunch of important people decided not to go to work at the World Trade Center. Because this was totally random and none of them could have possibly had any idea what was coming I think this is evidence that the Protestants were right. Prosperity gospel is real. If you have a lot of money God will protect you and will make sure you do not go to work on the day of a terrorist attack.

Here are a few stories from those God selected for predestination:

Howard Lutnick (Then CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, current US Secretary of Commerce):

As far as I can ascertain there is only one time in the entire life of Kyle Lutnick that his father Howard drove him to school. This was on the morning of 9/11. You’d think Howard would have done it a few more times after in order to cover his tracks but I guess spending time with your child can be pretty annoying.

Howard Lutnick had an office on the 105th floor of the North Tower. He was there bright and early every day, almost without exception. During an oval office meeting earlier this year Lutnick laughed uncomfortably as President Trump recited the details of his story:

“[Howard Lutnick]’s wife insisted he finally, after years, take his child to school. So he took his child to school that one day, because normally he would have been in the building at 6 o’clock in the morning…for five years he didn’t do it.” –Donald Trump

Howard’s sister Edie Lutnick was scheduled to meet a law client at her office on the 101st floor of the North Tower. This meeting was canceled at the last minute and she also skipped work that day. Their brother Gary Lutnick attended work at Cantor Fitzgerald as normal and died in the attacks.

In 2001 the first day of kindergarten for New Yorkers in public school was Thursday, September 6th. This hasn’t stopped press accounts from repeating Howard’s claim that Tuesday, September 11th was Kyle Lutnick’s first day of Kindergarten at the private Horace Mann school. As Horace Mann hasn’t released any records we just have to go on Howard’s word. Howard also claimed to have cut contact with his neighbor Jeffrey Epstein by 2005. Subsequently a photograph emerged of him on Epstein’s island in 2012.

Larry Silverstein (Owner of Silverstein Properties and leaseholder of the WTC):

After taking over the lease of the World Trade Center in July 2001 Larry Silverstein held breakfast meetings every morning at the Windows on the World restaurant on the 106th floor of the North Tower1. Every morning except 9/11 of course. That day he had a meeting scheduled there but claims his wife insisted he go to a dermatology appointment instead.

Larry Silverstein’s son Roger and his daughter Lisa were vice-presidents at Silverstein Properties. They also attended daily morning meetings with clients at Windows on the World. Both were “running late” on 9/11 and missed work.

Larry Silverstein’s publicist for more than 30 years, Howard Rubenstein, moved a scheduled 8 AM meeting back to 9 AM and survived. Silverstein’s top aide, Geoffrey Wharton, did attend a morning meeting at Windows on the World but left it early and barely survived.

Silverstein Properties had led a group of investors in acquiring a 99 year lease on WTC buildings 1, 2, 4 and 5 for $3.2 billion. The same month that the deal closed they took out a $3.55 billion insurance policy on the buildings. Initially after the attacks Silverstein sought a $7 billion pay out, stating that the two planes counted as two separate incidents. He was eventually awarded a $4.55 billion settlement.

L. Paul Bremer (CEO of Marsh Crisis Consulting, later Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq):

Paul Bremer was CEO of Marsh Crisis Consulting, a subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan. He had an office somewhere between the 93rd and 100th floor of the North Tower. Fortunately for him he was traveling that day. Within 4 hours of the attack he was on TV in Washington DC attributing responsibility to Osama bin Laden. He did not mention that hundreds of his colleagues and coworkers had just been murdered (the final count was 358) or really display any emotion at all. Later as leader of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq he collapsed the Iraqi state by dissolving the Iraqi military and firing tens of thousands of bureaucrats and teachers. This does not make any sense as a governance strategy but it does make sense if the goal was to turn Iraq into a basket case that couldn’t threaten Israel.

Jerome Hauer (Managing director of the Crisis and Consequence Management Group at Kroll Associates. Formerly first director of the NYC Office of Emergency Management):

The late FBI agent John O’Neil has been called “the FBI’s foremost expert on Osama bin Laden.” By 1998 he was obsessed with Al Qaeda and believed they were planning an attack within the United States. His reward for such diligence was to have his career stalled in bureaucratic limbo and to be subjected to an internal investigation, quickly leaked to the press, for misplacing his briefcase. In August 2001 he was approached by his old friend Jerome Hauer with a proposal. Retire from the FBI and become Kroll Associates’ head of security at the World Trade Center for a $300,000 salary. He accepted and died in the attacks.

John O’Neil’s office was located on the 34th floor of the North Tower. On that fateful day where was Jerome Hauer, his boss at Kroll who had brought him over? We’re not sure but he definitely wasn’t on the 34th floor. Hauer first appears at the CBS News studios in New York at 1:11 PM to give an interview to Dan Rather. He attributes the attacks to bin Laden and dismisses the possibility of any explosives having been placed in the buildings.

Jerome Hauer had previously been the first director of the NYC Office of Emergency Management (OEM) under mayor Rudy Giuliani. It was at his direction that the OEM emergency command center was placed on the 23rd floor of World Trade Center 7. The NYPD had vigorously objected to this but plans went ahead and the site was finished in 1999.

This location was useless in the attacks and was evacuated by 9:30 AM. The only people left in the OEM command center were Barry Jennings and Michael Hess, both of whom stated that there was an explosion within the building that trapped them on the 8th floor.

Jim Pierce (Managing director at Aon Corporation, George W. Bush’s cousin):

Jim Pierce was scheduled to attend an Aon Corporation meeting on the 102nd floor of the South Tower. He says this meeting was moved to “the 4th Floor of Omni tower” which most sources identify as the Millennium hotel. Somehow a dozen people were not told about this last minute change of venue and attended the meeting on the 102nd floor. Eleven of them died. Barbara Bush offhandedly mentions this story in her memoir.

Mitt Romney (Former CEO of Bain Capital, then President of the Salt Lake City Organizing Committee for the Olympics):

On the morning of 9/11 Mitt Romney was supposed to attend a press conference in New York’s Battery Park to announce the names of the torch bearers for the upcoming 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. Battery Park is just a few blocks south of the WTC. Everybody in the vicinity on 9/11 was covered with toxic dust when the towers collapsed. Happily for Romney the press conference was moved from September 11th at 9 AM to September 12th at 9 AM.

Sarah Ferguson (Former Duchess of York):

The ex-wife of Prince Andrew and mother of both his children had an 8:45 AM meeting scheduled on the 101st floor of the North Tower. “Heavy traffic” that morning kept her out of the building. Ferguson was a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein. The late pedophile had paid off some debts for her. Disturbingly the charity she ran out of the World Trade Center, and the reason for her early morning meeting, was called Chances for Children. She had gotten the office space from Howard Lutnick.

Jimmy Dunne III (Co-Founder and Managing Director at Sandler O’Neill and Partners):

Jimmy Dunne III should have been with his employees on the 104th floor of the South Tower that day but he decided to play golf instead. 68 of the 171 personnel at the investment bank Sandler O’Neill and Partners died in the attacks. Dunne would later go on to help broker the tentative and now defunct Saudi PGA Tour-LIV deal.

Police Bodycam Footage Shows Drunk Secret Service Officer Caught with His Pants Open In Miami Hotel Hallway

Police bodycam footage of the arrest of a drunk Secret Service agent who was caught with his pants down in a Miami hotel hallway was released on Thursday.

Earlier this year, a Secret Service officer who was in South Florida working security at Trump National Doral was arrested and charged for exposing himself in front of guests at a Miami hotel.

John Spillman, 33, was arrested in May after he exposed himself and masturbated in the hallway of the hotel.

Spillman was allegedly in the lobby of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Miami Airport and followed a female guest upstairs.

The woman and another guest immediately entered their room because they were afraid.

The victims saw Spillman expose himself and called hotel security.

Police bodycam footage of the arrest shows cops shouting at Spillman, “Against the wall! Against the f*cking wall! Hands on the wall!”

“Stand up!” Officers shouted.

“I got to put my pants up,” Spillman says as officers apprehend him.

Spillman told officers, “I had too much to drink.”

Prosecutors are still seeking footage of Spillman in the act of exposing himself.

Spillman was charged with indecent exposure.

Inside the Safety Record Behind Israel’s Early Myocarditis Warning to Global Health Authorities

On February 28, 2021, Israel’s Ministry of Health alerted health authorities on both sides of the Atlantic to an emerging cardiac safety signal following the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.

The warning came just over two months after Israel had launched one of the fastest vaccination campaigns in the world, placing the country at the forefront of the global rollout.

That day, the Ministry informed the European Medicines Agency that it was investigating a “safety signal of myocarditis/peri-myocarditis in the younger population (16–30 years old)” and had already received reports of around 40 cases. A CDC internal tasking memo from the same day recorded that Israel was seeing “a large number of reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people,” and was seeking contacts at the CDC and FDA to discuss the issue. The message was marked “Importance: High.” 

Three days later, Dr. Roee Singer, Deputy Director of Epidemiology at Israel’s Ministry of Health, wrote directly to the CDC: “We are seeing a large number of myocarditis and pericarditis cases in young individuals soon after Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. We would like to discuss the issue with a relevant expert at CDC.”

It was, in every sense, a “Houston, we have a problem” moment.

The alarm had been sounded. But what, exactly, had Israeli health officials seen that prompted it? And when, and how, was that warning communicated to physicians and the public?

Our newly published study in EXCLI Journal discloses and analyzes an internal Israeli Ministry of Health pharmacovigilance dataset that had never been made public. The dataset was provided to us by a whistleblower whose identity we are protecting. The file itself was titled, in Hebrew, “Reports of Hospitalizations and Deaths to Pfizer,” and contains detailed case-level reports documented by the Ministry of Health during the vaccination campaign.

The record was not reconstructed years later, after vaccine-associated myocarditis had become an established safety concern. It was being built in real time as the signal emerged. 

The dataset provided to us comprised eight cumulative versions, all sharing an original creation date of March 25, 2021. The record was updated repeatedly for more than a year as new cases were added and existing reports were revised with additional clinical information. The final version extends through May 9, 2022.

Already on March 25, just over three weeks after Israel first sounded the international alarm, the record contained 157 hospitalization reports and 46 death reports. Sixty-five of the hospitalization reports involved myocarditis or pericarditis.

By the final version of the dataset, myocarditis or pericarditis appeared in 250 of 531 hospitalization reports, nearly half. Among patients under 30, it appeared in 151 of 211 reports, more than 70%.

USPS Inspector General Confirms It: Postal Facilities Botched Mail Ballots in the 2026 Primaries — Wrong Dates in Pennsylvania, No Training on the Wall, and Delayed Ballots Headed Into a Midterm Fight

A new federal audit has exposed serious failures in the U.S. Postal Service’s handling of election mail during the 2026 primary season, including incorrectly postmarked ballots, missing tracking information, delayed deliveries and ballots shipped hundreds of miles in the wrong direction.

ProPublica first reported the audit on September 9. The watchdog’s report is public: Processing of Election and Political Mail for the 2026 Primary Elections.

The September 4 audit by the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General examined nine mail-processing facilities and 73 delivery units across eight states between March and May.

While auditors found that most facilities generally followed election-mail procedures, and overall processing scores improved from the 2024 primaries, they also uncovered alarming breakdowns that could determine whether a lawful vote is counted.

The report found that management at 10 of the 82 facilities reviewed was unfamiliar with proper ballot-postmarking policies.

At five of nine mail-processing facilities, auditors discovered hand-canceling devices displaying incorrect dates.

At the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, processing center, a hand canceler being used on the May 19 primary election date was still set to March 19.

Mamdani Blindsided by Fresh Lawsuit — The NYC Mayor Now Has to Fight in Federal Court

New York City Zohran Mamdani will soon have to defend his socialist schemes in federal court.

That’s because of a fresh lawsuit that accuses his socialist supermarkets of “unfair competition” against local grocers.

The National Supermarket Association and two of its members – City Fresh Market in Harlem and C-Town Supermarket in the Bronx – are taking the mayor to court for violating antitrust laws. 

The litigants are filing their lawsuit in the Southern District of New York, which is not exactly renowned for its concern over civil rights.

The association’s president, Anthony Peña, told The Post that the millions of dollars going to the government-backed stores are a form of “unfair competition.”

“We are arguing that everyone has to be able to access these subsidies,” Peña said. “It’s not about us being afraid of competition. We are against unfair competition.”

The group represents 450 independent grocery stores in New York City. It is filing the complaint with the America First Policy Institute, which is chaired by Larry Kudlow, President Trump’s former top economic advisor.

“Independent supermarkets have invested in our neighborhoods, created jobs, paid taxes and served local families for generations,” Peña added. “They deserve a fair and level playing field – not competition against a government-subsidized program operating under different rules.”

The Mamdani grocery plan is now facing two major legal offensives — an August state-court challenge consisting of two separate MBC filings, and a new federal antitrust lawsuit from independent supermarket operators.
