PolitiFact claims to be a fact-checking organization that exposes false information. But, in practice, PolitiFact can turn out to instead be the promoter of false information.
Continue readingAre many people who took experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots being diagnosed with serious medical conditions? It is an important question to ask when evaluating the much repeated by politicians and the big money media claim that the shots are safe.
Children’s Health Defense sought answers directly from the shot takers by commissioning a poll from John Zogby Strategies that was conducted from July 22 through July 24.
Continue readingOn July 9, I wrote about how it looked likely that a broad mask mandate would be automatically reimposed by the Los Angeles County government in California based on “cases” of coronavirus rising above and then staying at a level tagged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Here is an update with some good and bad news.
Continue readingPoliticians like to redefine words to escape blame and fool the people. We have seen it before in many instances in America. A couple big uses of this propaganda tactic include denying the US tortured people by claiming it subjected them instead to “enhanced interrogation techniques” and asserting that experimental mRNA shots that don’t even stop transmission of coronavirus, or sickness or death from coronavirus, are “vaccines.”
One of the US government’s latest major propagandistic language contortions is the Joe Biden administration’s attempt to deny America is in a recession by saying a recession is something more than the two consecutive quarters of decline in gross domestic product (GDP) that has been routinely used to define a recession. Seeing that America is just about certain to be already in a recession under the long-used definition, Biden administration officials have been out in front of every camera they can find declaring, “no, it takes much more to have a recession.”

And, on Saturday, the final day of the event, Ron Paul Institute (RPI) Executive Director Daniel McAdams will be the event’s penultimate speaker, presenting a lecture titled “Foreign Policy is Welfare for the Rich.”
Continue readingThroughout the coronavirus panic, the word from national, state, and local governments, and the big money media, was nearly uniformly that people who had coronavirus should stay isolated at home and then go to the hospital if their condition became dire, such as they could hardly breathe. The message was that there was nothing these individuals could do in the meantime to counter the sickness. They could just wait and see.

Continue readingHas peak “woke” arrived? The tale of United State First Lady Jill Biden reacting to criticism from an ethnic journalists organization by apologizing for using a simile involving tacos is the kind of humorous satiric story you might find in a Sinclair Lewis novel. It is also reality in America of 2022.
Continue readingA Pew Research Center poll conducted in March indicates that Americans have rather evenly divided views in regard to the government of Israel. While 48 percent of polled Americans stated they have a favorable view of the Israeli government, nearly as many — 44 percent — said they have a negative view.
In contrast, among United States Congress top leadership members — both Republican and Democratic, the support for the government of Israel appears unanimous and over the top.
Continue readingPeople in the city and county of Los Angeles, California have suffered under some the more extreme coronavirus crackdown measures in America. And, one of those authoritarian measures — the county’s mask mandate — may be about to make a comeback under county policy to automatically reimpose the mandate if the coronavirus “community transmission” in the county is determined to have risen to what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers “high” and stay at that level for two weeks. Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer is advising that the mask mandate will return before the end of this month if the current trend of increasing “cases” continues.
