WHO Kills MAHA-Backed Hepatitis B Baby Vaccine Trial

Armageddon Prose

Per the study design, the control group of 7,000 infants would skip the at-birth hepatitis B vaccine dose and receive it later on at six weeks, whereas the experimental group of 7,000 infants would receive the shot immediately at birth, the objective being to assess potential adverse health impacts of the hepatitis B shot in day-old infants - a practice which the Public Health™ experts stateside have gone to war to shield from scrutiny, notwithstanding the facts that: · Screening mothers for hepatitis B is cheap and easy · Hepatitis B, outside of mother-to-infant transmission, is nearly exclusively acquired via unprotected sex and intravenous drug use, neither of which most rational people outside of Portland or Brooklyn would recognize as normal activities for infants

Musk Clarifies Why Starlink Speed Limits Were Throttled In Ukraine

ZeroHedge

The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk personally ordered the cap. One of its sources said he and President Trump discussed the move before it took effect, while others said they spoke only after it became public, and some U.S. officials said Musk acted alone. Administration denials have been broad. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said "there was no foreknowledge," Hegseth said "we haven't pulled anything back," and a White House official said "we didn't slow down Starlink at all." Trump has said he did not make the call but that Musk should not be blamed, AP noted.

ZeroHedge

A shared address: Omar and Elmi listed the same Columbia Heights, Minnesota, address on their 2009 marriage application. Ahmed Hirsi, the father of Omar's children, also used that address for a business license, according to the Post. Overlapping relationships and tax filings: Omar had her third child with Hirsi in 2012 while legally married to Elmi. The Post also cites joint tax returns Omar filed with Hirsi for 2014 and 2015, before her divorce from Elmi was finalized in 2017. Those returns were subsequently corrected.

Why the French Riot

Claire Berlinski

[T]he US media—mainstream and social—are reacting as if this has no precedent. It has several thousand years’ worth of precedent. It’s the way France has always been and will always be. Do I think it’s a good way to be? No. But it will never change. It must simply be accepted.

Attorneys for Andrea Shaw, the Idaho mother whose twin toddlers died eight days after receiving vaccines, have moved to dismiss the grand jury murder indictment against her, citing prosecutorial misconduct in the grand jury hearing. “When the facts come out to the court and to the public, it’s going to be shocking,” said attorney Rick Jaffe, who is representing Shaw. “Andrea Shaw did not kill her children, and that will be made abundantly clear.”

Up to 40 Million COVID Vaccine Doses Rejected Over Bacterial Contamination as HHS Knew of Endotoxin Failures: NY AG Lawsuit

Jon Fleetwood

A January 15, 2026, lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James reveals that bacterial contamination, including dangerous endotoxins, forced Emergent BioSolutions to abort or reject COVID-19 vaccine batches representing up to 40 million dose-equivalents, while federal health officials were involved in discussions of the manufacturing failures. Endotoxins are toxic bacterial components capable of triggering severe inflammation, septic shock, organ failure, and death.

American Greatness

Federal agents arrested more than two dozen foreign nationals across California on Monday, for fraudulently registering and voting in U.S. elections. Specifically, the 28 suspects are being charged with a combination of illegal voting, making a false claim of U.S. citizenship in order to vote, and “knowingly depriving the residents of California of a fair and impartial election process,” Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter announced at a news conference in Los Angeles.

Russia Celebrates 'Historic Moment' After Trump Formally Waives Graham Act Sanctions

ZeroHedge

It was expected to take effect soon, as part of a big Washington ramping up of pressure to further strangle the Russian economy and thus starve Putin's war machine. Trump has informed Congress that he must waive the new sanctions package because it is in the US national interest, at a moment he's desperately trying to get diesel prices under control amid both the Iran war and Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries.

Ukraine's Starlink & Starshield Services Restored, Officials Say

ZeroHedge

Starshield is the military version of Starlink, which offers satellite internet connectivity for consumer and commercial use. The temporary disruptions to Ukraine's Starshield access, which were reported on Oct. 14, come amid increased tension between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Adding more confusion to this whole scenario, around midday on Friday, President Trump told a gaggle of reporters that he "didn't know who gave the order on Starshield," to slow it down, claiming further that "it wasn't us."

US Law Wasn’t Built for How China’s Spies Operate in America

The Epoch Times

Experts told The Epoch Times that Beijing conducts most of its U.S. intelligence operations through people already living inside the country, relying on tasks that are largely lawful—making introductions, hosting events, logging attendee lists, or looking up individuals. These activities unfold across student clubs, hometown associations, campaign fundraisers, and university forums—the very institutions an open society intentionally keeps accessible. In Pauken’s case, his role was to identify individuals the Justice Department called “new recruitment targets” for his Chinese handlers.

The Pentagon awarded $350M to a firm tied to a senior DOD official

ProPublica

Among a cadre of Wall Street executives brought into the Pentagon during President Donald Trump’s second term, George K. Kollitides II has emerged as a powerbroker with a broad mandate to improve procurement of weapons and critical minerals. The longtime partner at the private equity firm Alvarez & Marsal Capital has framed his tour of duty in government as a service to the country. But the work he’s leading has also been a boon to his old friends in the private sector, government procurement records show.

Report: Ilhan Omar’s Staff Had Her Listed Birth Year Changed After She Was Elected

Breitbart

The library’s director also explained that the original entry had not been supported by documentation. Omar has said she became a U.S. citizen in 2000 through her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, after her family arrived in the United States from Somalia in 1995. “I became a citizen actually before I turned 18,” Omar told the Intercept in September 2018. “My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process.” The one-year difference matters to that account. Someone born October 4, 1981, would have turned 18 in October 1999. Someone born October 4, 1982, would have remained 17 until October 2000.

FROM BURNING MAN TO THE BEAST SYSTEM: How Neo-Paganism and Silicon Valley Are Shaping the Last-Days World

That question takes us to one of America’s strangest gatherings: Burning Man. What began in 1986 as a small gathering around a wooden effigy on San Francisco’s Baker Beach has developed into a temporary city in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert attracting tens of thousands of people. Burning Man officially presents itself around principles such as radical inclusion, radical self-expression, communal effort, participation, and immediacy. Yet accounts from inside the event describe something far more spiritually significant than an unusual art festival. The environment includes psychedelic drugs, sexual experimentation, altered states of consciousness, New Age ideas, occult imagery, ritualistic activity, and the rejection of traditional moral boundaries. The worldview celebrated there should concern Christians because much of it represents the opposite of the biblical understanding of God, humanity, morality, sexuality, and truth.

SpaceX Reportedly Caps Starlink Speed As Kiev Defies Trump's Calls To Halt Refinery Strikes

ZeroHedge

The local outlet noted, "Ukraine relies on Starlink for several military applications including operating its mid-strike campaign in Russian-occupied Ukraine, as well as interceptor drones that defend against Russia's new jet-powered attack drones." "The consequences are already being felt in the field. Since the start of the day alone, a drone unit operating within the 7th Corps' area of responsibility in the Huliaipole sector has had to cancel a number of missions due to these connectivity issues," Ukraine's 7th Air Assault Corps told the outlet. Western media, such as the Financial Times, said Ukraine was "blindsided by Starlink restrictions and intelligence gaps during Russian attack."

Ilhan Omar's Staff Scrambled To Change Her Birth Year Days After Fraud Allegations Emerged

ZeroHedge

Omar has said she derived citizenship through her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, when he naturalized in 2000, and the law then required the child to be under 18 when the parent naturalized. Born in 1981, she'd have been an adult all of 2000 - the year she says she became a citizen at 17, the NY Post reports. For her two years in the Minnesota House and more than four months into her congressional term, the state's Legislative Reference Library listed her birthday as Oct. 4, 1981, the same date carried by Wikipedia, the BBC and Congress's own Biographical Directory.

Two Teachers SHOT In France; Far-Left Network Is FUNDING The Chaos

Modernity

Singham, the Shanghai-based tech tycoon who has poured tens of millions into U.S. far-left groups, funds the pro-communist outlet BreakThrough News. That outlet has amplified the French unrest with “BREAKING” alerts and collages of global youth riots, framing local education grievances as part of a worldwide uprising against austerity, policing, and the West. On the ground in Paris, hammer-and-sickle flags have flown alongside Palestinian flags. Young Communists of France have marched under “Class War” banners demanding an end to “Imperialist Wars.”

China Is Studying Ukraine's Drone War To Prepare Its Military For Future Conflicts

Biden Judge Calls It ‘Constitutional Bedrock’ to Oppose Federal Ban on Noncitizen Voting

The Daily Signal

A Biden-appointed judge ruled that Congress cannot ban noncitizens from voting, striking down federal charges against an illegal alien alleged to have voted in multiple federal elections in Florida. U.S. District Judge David Leibowitz of the Southern District of Florida ruled that the Constitution only gives power to the states to regulate elections. Thus, he said, the federal government could not ban noncitizens from voting, but he said states could impose such a ban, the Washington Times reported.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed two Muslim holidays into law this week, making California the second state to officially recognize them.

Yes, the Public Education System Is Broken

PJ Media

His opinion piece titled "The Blue-State Model for Education has Failed, and the Public has Caught On" states early on that one of the reasons the public schools have gone down the drain is because of the teachers’ unions. Early in the article, Turley states, “New polling shows that K-12 education has now reached a record low in the number of people who are even “somewhat satisfied” with the state of education in the U.S.” He then talks about the “education cartel,” a self-sustaining, self-perpetuating alliance between unions and politicians. The cartel has rendered families and students irrelevant.

Drones Hit Two Ships Within Bulgaria's Economic Zone, Sinking One, Crew Missing

ZeroHedge

Unlike in prior Black Sea incidents where authorities were quick to name Russia's military as behind the attack, it is curious that in this case the Bulgarians have not been quick to make allegations as the origin of the drones has not been established. PM Radev continued, “As a state responsible within our exclusive economic zone for the health and lives of anyone navigating in this area, regardless of who is responsible, we are obliged to conduct emergency search and rescue operations." "What is happening is seriously disrupting shipping in the Black Sea, driving up insurance costs even further and making shipping extremely difficult," he added.

Bab el-Mandeb is increasingly at risk, raising concerns for Red Sea shipping and the wider Suez trade route.

Turkish Cargo Ship Sunk By Drone Strike Off Romania, Two Sailors Killed

ZeroHedge

There's no doubt that the tit-for-tat war on Black Sea shipping is getting nastier. For several months now, both Russian and Ukrainian forces have traded drone and missile attacks on ports and ships, disrupting vital Black Sea trade. For Ukraine this national transit lifeline is even more important amid its war time economy. A major incident has unfolded Monday after an alleged direct hit by Russian drone on a Turkish cargo ship carrying grain from a Ukrainian port.

Trump Explains Why He's Okay With North Korea Having Nukes, But Not Iran

ZeroHedge

"As long as I’m around, he’s going to be fine," Trump continued. "You know why? He respects me." By this strange logic, Pyongyang - which has on many more occasions (than Iran) directly threatened the United States going back literally decades - possessing nukes is just fine. Or in other words Kim="friend"/Good, Ayatollah= Rogue Bad Guy, according to the simplistic equation. The inconsistency of the obviously self-defeating 'moral high ground' narrative advanced by the administration is baffling.

Another Tanker Struck & Damaged By Iran In Strait Of Hormuz

Iran’s Disappearing Oil Is Becoming Everyone’s Problem

Oil Price.com

China’s recovering crude demand is colliding with collapsing Iranian supplies, intensifying competition for replacement barrels and driving up refiners’ costs. Discounted Iranian oil is giving way to expensive long-haul alternatives, squeezing independent refiners’ margins as record freight rates compound higher crude prices. Tehran’s shrinking export revenues raise the risk of renewed disruption to Hormuz, threatening 13 million b/d of oil flows and a fresh global price shock.

Zelensky Claims 'Final Decision' Made To Let Ukraine Build Patriots, After Trump Reversed Pledge

ZeroHedge

Back in July President Trump strongly signaled that he was greenlighting the ability of Ukraine to produce its own patriot anti-air defense missiles. Trump declared in the context of a Turkey-hosted NATO summit that Washington would give Ukraine "the right to make Patriots" - after Zelensky had been relentless in his requests, framing it as urgent and for the protection of cities and civilians. But since then there's been denials and ambiguity surrounding the pledge.

Trump Denies He Offered Sanctions Relief, As Iran Insists No Change On Enrichment Stance

Iran announced targeting 19 vessels over a 48 hour period this weekend and is threatening to escalate further. Iran’s economy feels the pressure, with the rial hitting a record low near 2.3 million per dollar.

Almost Half of Americans Now Hold Positive Views of Socialism

Jonathan Turley

Karl Marx believed that “Democracy is the road to socialism.” Socialists seem to have found a generation of dupes to buy their ahistorical, fanciful pitch. A new poll shows 43% now have a positive view of socialism. An astonishing 65% of Democrats have a positive view. Socialism is now the rage on the left.
