Children’s Health Defense is sending out a Measles e-book tonight with forward by now/HHS Secretary RFK Jr. Published before he got appointed but never mind that. Did you know the vaccine may kill your child and measles outbreaks are “fabricated” so pharma can profit?

Totally normal stuff.

It's already happening. They can't tell the difference between AI images and reality and so they're going to start thinking all sorts of stuff is happening that is not happening.

As a reporter who covered the Facebook apology tour circa 2016, and spent HOURS on the phone with FB flak and executives earnestly telling me Zuckerberg was torn up over Russian election interference and was making it a top priority to fix misinfo on FB, this week’s developments are 🙃

🧵 We watched the rollout of Plandemic in realtime at SIO. We knew RFK & a group of influencers were trying to make Mikovits a thing. She was suddenly on every conspiracy pod a few weeks before it dropped. He blurbed her book. A Veritas guy was helping boost her…
Conspirituality was founded to discuss Plandemic. Makes even more sense that we’ve spent the last two years covering Bobby so intensely now.

Since 2020, I’ve been at the epicenter of a wide-reaching campaign to intimidate social media platforms into backing away from their investments in safety and security. It worked.

Oh man. A 9/11 truther newsletter where you can learn about how jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams and other architectural facts is #9 on Substack’s Education leaderboard. It seems to be on the road to having that Amazon problem where people self-categorize and hilarity ensues.
