Rather disappointing to see QAnonAnonymous hosting Olivier Jutel, who seriously cites Kit Klarenberg, Max Blumenthal, and Alan MacLeod's nonsense about Bellingcat in his academic work on counter-disinformation.

This ‘heterodox’ social conference is full of MAGA ideologues, political activists, & polemical pundits. This is more accurately described as a festival of grievance from people who lack self awareness. Batya & Chris Rufo are going to teach people about research methods and objectivity? 😂 Wise up…

It’s very unfortunate Lex had no means to contact Zelensky and suggest this in private. It certainly isn’t him making a public post to generate pressure. I am sure he will be posting various public requests directed at Putin too.

Most people do not think street executions of those they dislike are good. That voices to the contrary are loudest on social media platforms is largely a reflection of how such platforms are divorced from popular sentiment and algorithmically incentivize extremism and outrage.

The final report from the COVID Sub Committee is released and it is as expected given that the origin "has been contorted by politics, while scientific discourse has been abandoned in pursuit of a preferred, coordinated narrative", as I stated in my written testimony.

I think this is good actually because Lex now has committed himself to interviewing Zelensky and if he does not provide a fawning soft ball interview the difference will be obvious. Plus Lex’s audience is one that is often being filled with Russian propaganda.

Flint breaks down and responds to the latest attacks against him by the “alternative facts” crowd and issues a public call to action to Joe Rogan.

Be very clear what this is: a shallow attempt to bash Fauci and NIH. The reason why there is no "proven link" between NIH, EcoHealth Alliance and origin of COVID-19 is because there is no link between NIH, EcoHealth Alliance and origin of COVID-19. They've spent years on this already.
