So after obsessing over this site I learned that it is run by a gentleman named Glenn McDonald who is a former employee of Spotify. Unfortunately since he is now a former employees he lost access to the internal data which allowed him to keep updating the site. Nonetheless there is an endless variety already available. It’s amazing. He also wrote a book named “You have not yet heard your favorite song”. If you’re obsessed with music and it’s contemporary history I’d recommend acquiring it.

🧵THREAD: The FDA Just Approved Moderna’s New COVID Shot, mNEXSPIKE® But there’s a catch, they never tested it against a placebo. They tested it against the other COVID shot. Why? Because “ethics.” Here’s what they don’t want you to notice.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Moderna’s new vaccine, mNEXSPIKE®, was just greenlit by the FDA on May 31, 2025 for Adults 65+ and ages 12–64 with risk factors. According to the FDA, the approval is based on a Phase 3 trial (NCT05815498) with ~11,400 participants. But they didn’t test it against saline. They tested it against Spikevax®, their other COVID shot. Yes, really. Source: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/06/01/fda-approves-modernas-new-lower-dose-covid-19-vaccine.html
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Moderna’s press release boasts: “mNEXSPIKE was non-inferior to Spikevax in preventing COVID-19… with a 9.3% higher relative vaccine efficacy.” But let’s be real, what they’re saying is: 💉 Our new mRNA shot is about as mediocre as the old one. Source: https://investors.modernatx.com/news/news-details/2025/Moderna-Receives-U-S--FDA-Approval-for-COVID-19-Vaccine-mNEXSPIKE/
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
This is how pharma plays the game: Once a shot is approved, even under emergency powers, they call it “standard of care.” Then they use that product as the control group in new trials. That way, no placebo is ever used again. Science™.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Why does this matter? Because it makes it impossible to measure: Absolute safety Absolute risk of adverse events How it compares to doing nothing Every shot gets tested against another shot. It’s a never-ending loop of relative bullshit. The official line is this: “Using a placebo would be unethical because we have an effective vaccine.” So you’re saying it’s unethical to compare a new vaccine to nothing because you’ve already approved one… based on incomplete, rushed trials? That’s not ethics. That’s regulatory sleight of hand.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The reason regulators and pharmaceutical companies often cite for not using a true placebo (i.e., saline injection) once a vaccine has been authorized is that it would be “unethical to withhold a known effective treatment” from participants, especially during a public health emergency. “Standard of Care” https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abf5084?utm
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
This shell game means we never get real answers about how many people are harmed by these products compared to doing nothing at all. Remember: Spikevax (the control) is no saint. It’s associated with: •Myocarditis •Pericarditis •Neuropathy •Blood clots •Menstrual disruption •Bell’s Palsy •Sudden unexplained deaths So using it as a “placebo” masks harm in the new shot. If both vaccines cause fatigue, fever, myalgia, and heart inflammation, then comparing the two just tells us which one hurts slightly less. It doesn’t tell us whether either one is safe. This is how you bury side effects under statistical fog.

Totally normal, they say.

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
They rig the trials, skip the control group, blur the data, and rubber-stamp it all under the guise of “ethics.” And if you question it? You’re “anti-vax” or “dangerous.” This is Moderna’s new business model: → Approve a reformulated shot every year → Compare it only to last year’s shot → Call it science → Sell it to the government → Exempt from liability A pharmaceutical perpetual motion machine.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
By using Spikevax as the comparator, Moderna and the FDA avoid having to ask the only question that matters: What happens when you do nothing? And that’s the question they’re terrified to answer. Because if you knew the true baseline for adverse events, efficacy, and long-term outcomes, you’d realize their products are a shell game. The ethics they invoke are not about protecting you. They’re about protecting the narrative And the narrative must never be placebo-controlled.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Call it what it is: mNEXSPIKE wasn’t tested against a placebo. It was tested against another mRNA shot riddled with side effects, so they could say: It’s just as bad as the last one. Approved. Welcome to science in 2025.

Spikevax has an ARR of 1.15% and NNV of 87. So 87 individuals need to be vaccinated with Spikevax to prevent one symptomatic COVID-19 case. However with the new one, without a placebo group, calculating the ARR and NNV directly is not feasible. They know that but I’d surmise it’s about the same as the last.

Mega Thread 🧵 Blowback Nation: How the CIA’s Iran Coup Forged a Theocracy with Nuclear Ambitions
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Operation Ajax – the 1953 Anglo-American coup in Iran – overthrew the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, ending Iran’s brief oil nationalization. U.S. and British intelligence orchestrated street riots and bribed officials to topple Mossadegh, largely to restore Western control of Iran’s oil and to prevent a feared tilt toward the Soviet bloc. Source: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/the%20central%20intelligence%20%5B15369853%5D.pdf
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The motivations were explicit. Mossadegh had nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (BP today), enraging Britain, and he championed Iranian sovereignty over foreign oil concessions. London lobbied Washington to intervene, framing Mossadegh as a potential gateway for communism in the Cold War climate . In reality, U.K. officials privately admitted Mossadegh’s government was broadly democratic and nationalist but London and the CIA resolved to remove him to protect oil interests and Western hegemony.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
In August 1953, the CIA (led on the ground by Kermit Roosevelt Jr., Theodore Roosevelt’s grandson) and Britain’s MI6 executed the coup (code-named TPAJAX). After an initial failed attempt, royalist military units aided by CIA-funded mobs succeeded on August 19, 1953, in ousting Mossadegh . The Iranian prime minister’s house was shelled by tanks and crowds ransacked Tehran in coordinated chaos. Nearly 300 people died in street clashes as the coup unfolded. Source: https://archive.is/wTpuH
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The coup d’état reinstalled Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as uncontested monarch. The Shah had fled during the chaos but returned in triumph after Mossadegh’s overthrow, signing royal decrees (firmans) that cemented his power. U.S. Embassy and CIA personnel stood by as Iran’s last popular government was crushed. A CIA internal history, kept secret for decades, later openly admitted the agency “planned and helped implement the coup” in tandem with British intelligence.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
With Mossadegh imprisoned and the Shah back on the Peacock Throne, Iran was transformed into a client regime of the West. The Shah’s autocracy deepened: he quickly became a major purchaser of American weaponry and welcomed foreign oil companies back in. Over the next 25 years, Washington provided massive support from weapons to finance propping up the Shah as an anti-Soviet “pillar” in the Middle East . US officials hailed Iran’s “stability,” while turning a blind eye to growing repression.

A new secret police, SAVAK, was created in 1957 with close guidance from the CIA and Israel’s Mossad . SAVAK’s agents were schooled in the dark arts of surveillance, interrogation, and torture, earning a fearsome reputation as the Shah’s iron fist. Thousands of political dissidents, from Islamists to leftist students, were rounded up, imprisoned, or worse. Iranians lived in terror of SAVAK, whose American and Israeli-trained operatives routinely tortured and killed regime opponents.

Authoritarian rule under the Shah intensified through the 1960s and ’70s. Despite initiating some modernizing reforms, the Shah brooked no dissent. He banned opposition parties, censored the press, and used oil revenue to enrich a small elite while many Iranians remained in poverty. U.S. officials publicly praised the Shah’s “progressive” leadership even as his prisons filled with journalists, clergy, and activists. This disconnect bred smoldering resentment – a sense that the Shah was a puppet of foreign powers who put Iran’s wealth and destiny in foreign hands. Source: https://www.rferl.org/a/iran-politics-revolution/29752729.html
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Decades of pent-up anger exploded in 1978–79. Strikes and demonstrations swept Iran’s cities, uniting Islamists, liberals, and leftists against the Shah’s regime. Protesters chanted “Death to the Shah” and denounced him as a U.S. puppet. Security forces responded with violence – including a notorious massacre on “Black Friday” in Sept 1978 – which only galvanized the opposition. By January 1979, the unrest had grown into a full revolution. The Shah fled into exile, never to return.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
In February 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile to a hero’s welcome, riding the revolutionary wave. The U.S.-backed monarchy collapsed and was replaced by Khomeini’s Islamic Republic. Almost overnight, Iran went from being a crucial American ally to a bitter adversary. Khomeini’s theocracy combined religious rule with fierce anti-Western rhetoric. The new regime wasted no time blaming Iran’s misery on American “imperialism” – starting with the 1953 coup that had “enslaved” Iran to foreign masters.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
That historical memory fueled one of the revolution’s most dramatic events: the 1979 hostage crisis. When the deposed Shah was admitted to the U.S. for medical treatment in November 1979, Iranian students suspected a repeat of 1953, another American plot to restore the Shah. In response, militant students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took 52 Americans hostage. Their explicit rationale was that the embassy had been the CIA’s headquarters for the 1953 coup, and they aimed to prevent history from repeating. The hostages were held for 444 days, paraded blindfolded before crowds – a traumatic episode that seared anti-Iran sentiment into the American psyche.

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Khomeini’s Iran swiftly pivoted ideologically. The Islamic Republic denounced both the “Great Satan” (the United States) and the “Little Satan” (Israel) as enemies of Islam. This was a stark reversal – under the Shah, Iran had quietly cooperated with Israel and even recognized it diplomatically . But the new regime cast itself as champion of the oppressed, especially the Palestinians. Tehran cut all ties with Israel, turned the former Israeli embassy in Tehran over to the PLO, and inaugurated an annual “Quds Day” of pro-Palestinian rallies . Anti-Western murals and slogans became ubiquitous in Tehran, reflecting a regime narrative of resisting imperialism.

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
From 1979 onward, Washington and Tehran treated each other as implacable foes. The U.S. isolated Iran, cutting off diplomatic relations and imposing sanctions that strangled Iran’s economy. In 1980, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invaded Iran, a bloody war that would last eight years and the U.S. tilted in favor of Iraq, seeing Iran’s new Islamist regime as the greater threat. American intelligence and aid flowed to Saddam, even as he launched chemical attacks that killed thousands of Iranian soldiers and civilians. One U.S. State Department official later acknowledged it was “folly” to support Saddam’s aggression, but at the time Iran’s pleas for help fell on deaf ears.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The Iran-Iraq War (1980–88) was catastrophic for Iran. Hundreds of thousands of Iranians perished in trench warfare and from mustard gas and nerve agents that Saddam unleashed with tacit Western approval. The drawn-out slaughter cemented a siege mentality in Tehran. Traumatized by the war and convinced that the U.S. and its allies would prefer Iran’s destruction, the Islamic Republic’s hardliners gained the upper hand. Revolutionary leaders like Khamenei (now Supreme Leader) doubled down on developing deterrents both conventional and unconventional to prevent Iran from ever being so vulnerable again.

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
n the war’s wake, Iran began cultivating regional proxies as a forward defense. During the 1980s, Iran helped form and arm Hezbollah in Lebanon (especially once Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982). Tehran also supported groups opposing Israel and pro-U.S. regimes, from Palestinian militants to later the Houthis in Yemen. The goal was clear: extend Iran’s strategic depth and counter Israel’s and America’s regional influence. “Wherever Israel looks, it sees Iran on its border,” an analyst noted – not because Iran seeks war, but because it wants to deter the U.S. or Israel from attacking by raising the costs. In effect, Iran built a network of militias as its insurance policy against regime change. Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/16/iran-israel-attack-shadow-war/
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
While buttressing proxy forces abroad, Iran also pursued a more controversial insurance policy at home: a nuclear program. Ironically, this effort had begun under the Shah with U.S. encouragement – the American government in the 1970s actively aided the Shah’s plan to build nuclear reactors . After the revolution, those plans were stalled and Iran’s nuclear work was modest. But by the mid-1990s, facing U.S. sanctions and open talk of overthrowing the Islamic Republic, Tehran quietly accelerated nuclear research. Iranian leaders saw what happened to countries without a deterrent – Iraq under Saddam, Libya’s Gaddafi – and drew a lesson that a nuclear capability might ward off foreign attack. Source: https://archive.globalpolicy.org/empire/intervention/iran/general/2006/0214iranhistory.htm
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
U.S. officials, for their part, often painted Iran’s nuclear ambitions as irrational aggression. But internal analyses acknowledged Iran’s logic: Tehran had legitimate security fears. The U.S. had a “dual containment” policy to weaken Iran (and Iraq) and openly funded Iranian exile groups seeking regime change . President George W. Bush’s 2002 “Axis of Evil” speech pointedly included Iran – right after the U.S. had invaded two countries next door (Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003). American forces now ringed Iran on nearly every side . Facing this encirclement, even some Western observers admitted Iran had “objective basis” for feeling threatened . In this light, Iran’s interest in nuclear deterrence was a bid to ensure its survival, however dangerous the proliferation risk. Source: https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/pubs/pdf/fpb033.pdf
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
By the early 2000s, the Iran-Israel standoff centered on Iran’s nuclear advances. Israel, which had secretly built its own nuclear arsenal, vowed it would never allow Iran to obtain the bomb. The standoff saw a shadow war intensify. Iranian nuclear scientists began dying in mysterious explosions and shootings – at least four were assassinated between 2010 and 2012, operations widely attributed to Israel’s Mossad. A joint U.S.-Israeli cyberattack in 2010, known as Stuxnet, sabotaged Iranian centrifuges and temporarily set back the enrichment program . In 2011, an unexplained blast killed the architect of Iran’s missile program; in 2020, a top nuclear scientist (Mohsen Fakhrizadeh) was ambushed and killed in broad daylight . These covert attacks aimed to delay Iran’s progress without sparking full-scale war. Source: https://www.wired.com/2014/11/countdown-to-zero-day-stuxnet/
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Amid this pressure, Iran and global powers signed the JCPOA (nuclear deal) in 2015. Tehran agreed to strict limits on enrichment and intrusive inspections, dramatically rolling back its nuclear capacities . In return, it received sanctions relief. The deal was working – Iran’s compliance was verified repeatedly by UN inspectors. But hardliners in Washington and Tel Aviv railed against the accord. In 2018, President Trump unilaterally quit the JCPOA and reimposed sanctions, despite Iran’s adherence . This U.S. withdrawal – cheered by Iran hawks – blew up a rare diplomatic success. Iran began rebuilding its nuclear stockpile in response, and tensions soared again. Source: https://archive.is/4Lro2
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Since then, Israel has escalated its sabotage campaign. Mysterious explosions rocked Iran’s Natanz enrichment site in 2020 and 2021, knocking out critical equipment . Israeli leaders openly boast of acting to prevent “another Holocaust,” while clandestinely hitting Iranian targets. The United States, meanwhile, has kept piling on sanctions and military pressure. In January 2020, a U.S. drone strike assassinated Iranian General Qassem Soleimani – the architect of Iran’s regional strategy – as he visited Iraq, nearly triggering direct war. Iran retaliated with missile strikes on a U.S. base in Iraq, but the cycle of provocation continues. Today, hardliners on all sides cite these attacks to justify further aggression, trapping both nations in a dangerous impasse.

Through proxy wars and brinksmanship, Iran and Israel now confront each other across the Middle East. In Syria, Israeli jets have bombed Iranian advisors and arms convoys to Hezbollah. In Yemen and Iraq, Iran’s allied militias occasionally target U.S. and Israeli interests. Israel, with backing from Washington (over $3 billion in annual U.S. military aid), has insisted it will preemptively strike Iran rather than let it obtain nuclear weapons.

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Seven decades after the 1953 coup, the legacy of Western interference still poisons Iran’s relations with the world. The CIA’s toppling of Mossadegh – motivated by oil and geostrategy – set in motion a cascade: an authoritarian Shah, a repressive backlash in the form of an Islamic Revolution, and an enduring climate of mistrust and hostility. Iranians have never forgotten that foreign powers robbed them of self-determination, and hardliners exploit that history to shore up their rule. Likewise, Americans and Israelis scarred by 1979 and security threats see Iran as implacably aggressive. The result is a dangerous standoff – one rooted not in age-old hatred, but in blowback from covert ops and tyranny. A 2017 declassified review by the U.S. government itself concluded that the 1953 coup “poisoned” Iran’s feelings toward the West and fueled the Islamist surge of 1979.

Today’s nuclear crisis and regional tensions are a direct consequence of this troubled history. The lesson is stark: meddling in other nations’ affairs, propping up dictators or sabotaging agreements, can create a blowback that lasts generations. Ending the cycle will require honesty about that past and a break with the “might makes right” mindset that started it all.

A 1988 interview with Anthony Fauci in ABC News. You can’t hear the interviewer’s questions in it but I think that actually allows you see what an operator he has been for so long. He is being interviewed about AZT that at the time, he was beginning to tout as a potential treatment for AIDS. AZT was originally going to be used as a cancer drug 1960’s. It was part of a class of drugs designed to interfere with cell replication, a characteristic feature of cancer. However, in these initial studies, AZT was found to be extremely toxic to the human bodies and was subsequently shelved. Why not repurpose it by giving it to people with extremely compromised immune systems right? Makes total sense. It’s amazing that deaths from aids skyrocketed after AZT was unleashed on those diagnosed with “AIDS”. It’s almost as if they knew it would be virtually impossible to distinguish whether it was AIDS or the medication. I’m sensing a familiar script. Just like with the pandemic we had Remdesivir, an antiviral drug, that was initially developed for the treatment of hepatitis C and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It’s was a failure for those things and it was then used for Ebola and the trials had to be stopped because it was killing people. Even the WHO said it shouldn’t be used for covid but it was FDA approved for it. Same script different decade. Here is a list of some of the known side effects of AZT that by the way, was known at the time of this interview. He knew about them and yet listen to how he calls it “safe and effective”. Bone Marrow Suppression: AZT can lead to a decrease in the production of red and white blood cells, which can cause anemia and neutropenia. Mitochondrial Toxicity: Long-term use of AZT can damage the mitochondria, the energy-producing parts of cells. This can lead to muscle weakness, fatigue, and lactic acidosis. Gastrointestinal Issues: Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common side effects. Headaches and Insomnia Lipodystrophy: Changes in body fat distribution, such as thinning of the face, arms, and legs, with increased fat around the abdomen and back of the neck. Liver Toxicity: AZT can cause elevated liver enzymes and, in rare cases, severe liver damage. No biggie, totally safe and effective. In fact so safe and effective it didn’t work for the first couple things it was supposed to be used for.

The extensive global network of connections maintained by Paul David Hewson, better known as Bono, the lead singer of Irish rock band U2, reveals a complex web of relationships spanning non-governmental organizations, world leaders, billionaire philanthropists, and likely intelligence agencies. He has positioned himself at the intersection of entertainment, politics, and global power structures, raising questions about the true nature and scope of his influence operations.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The genesis of Bono's political awakening can be traced to 1979, when he attended one of the Secret Policeman's Ball benefit shows organized by Monty Python's John Cleese for Amnesty International. Bono later stated that this experience "became a part of me" and "sowed a seed," suggesting that his exposure to celebrity activism at this formative moment established a template he would later adopt and expand upon.

This early influence by Amnesty International, an organization with documented connections to Western intelligence services, represents the first link in what would become an extensive chain of relationships with politically sensitive entities. For instance, here is a bit about the current secretary general to give you an idea of milieu: “The current secretary general of Amnesty International, Agnes Callamard, previously served for a decade as executive director of ARTICLE 19, an organization that purports to be dedicated to “defending freedom of expression and information,” but in reality serves as a tool of Western foreign-policy interests. ARTICLE 19 is funded by a who’s who of Western regime-change front groups and CIA cutouts, including the US State Department, National Endowment for Democracy (NED), USAID, Freedom House, British Foreign Office, Canadian government, European Commission, Ford Foundation, and Open Society Foundations.” https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2022/03/17/human-rights-ngo-hrw-amnesty-us-government/
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
“Amnesty International and its subsidiaries have also been bankrolled by the CIA-linked Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and Open Society Foundations, which historian Frances Stonor Saundersdescribed as “conscious instruments of covert US foreign policy, with directors and officers who were closely connected to, or even members of American intelligence,” comprising “an integral component of America’s Cold War machinery.” Source: https://a.co/d/aO3GAqN

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The Development of NGO Infrastructure In 2002, Bono co-founded DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) alongside Bobby Shriver, establishing what would become the cornerstone of his influence network. The organization's funding sources immediately reveal connections to major power centers: the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, George Soros, and Edward W. Scott a former DOJ official and founder of BEA Systems provided the initial financial backing. This funding structure is particularly significant, as it demonstrates Bono's early integration into networks controlled by some of the world's most influential billionaires. DATA's mission encompassed debt relief, AIDS treatment, trade reform, and African development, all areas that intersect directly with U.S. foreign policy interests and economic priorities. The organization's scope effectively positioned Bono as an informal diplomatic channel, capable of operating in regions and contexts where traditional government representatives might face limitations or scrutiny. Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/wbna22346400
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The ONE Campaign: Scaling Global Influence Building upon DATA's foundation, Bono and Shriver co-founded the ONE Campaign in 2004, with the explicit aim of eliminating extreme poverty and disease in Africa through citizen mobilization. In October 2007, it was announced that DATA and the One Campaign would merge in the United States under the single organization "One". The organization received a $3 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, reinforcing the financial dependency on billionaire philanthropy networks. This funding relationship effectively embedded Bono's operations within the broader Gates Foundation ecosystem, which maintains extensive relationships with government agencies and international institutions. The ONE Campaign's approach of building "citizen support" for policy changes represents a sophisticated form of grassroots manufacturing, where celebrity influence is used to generate apparent public demand for specific policy outcomes. The organization's current membership of 9 million people, including 3 million in Africa, demonstrates the scale of this influence operation.

A 2018 internal whistleblower complaint revealed that ONE’s Johannesburg office had a “toxic” work environment, featuring instances of sexual harassment, bullying, and lack of accountability by senior managers. ONE’s advocacy has often been entwined with official campaigns: it worked alongside UK’s Make Poverty History coalition in 2005 and supported G8 initiatives like the Global Fund and the Gates backed GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines). The ability to mobilize such numbers provides Bono and his network with significant leverage in political negotiations and policy discussions.

(RED): Corporate Partnership Framework In 2006, Bono expanded his influence network through the creation of (RED), an organization that partners with major corporations to raise funds for AIDS treatment in Africa. The corporate partners include American Express, Apple, Converse, Motorola, Microsoft, Dell, The Gap, Giorgio Armani, Nike, and Starbucks, a roster that reads like a directory of major American multinational corporations. Bono's personal involvement in securing these partnerships demonstrates his access to corporate boardrooms and decision-makers at the highest levels. Source: https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bono-seeing-red-with-aids-fundraiser-59911/
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The (RED) model is particularly sophisticated in its approach to influence operations. By creating a framework where corporate profits are directly linked to humanitarian outcomes, Bono effectively aligned commercial interests with his activist agenda. This structure provides participating corporations with positive public relations while generating funds for his chosen causes. As of December 2020, (RED) had generated $650 million for HIV/AIDS programs.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The only problem is that (RED) hasn’t been transparent about the exact percentage of the profit which is donated towards the Global Fund or their total contributions.

In mid‐2006, U2 Ltd. shifted its publishing and royalties from Ireland (where corporate taxes were 12.5 %) to the Netherlands (where a favorable “royalty‐box” regime allowed far lower rates). Critics argued that during a period when Bono publicly preached “pay your taxes” as a moral duty, his band was legally minimizing its own tax contributions to the Irish exchequer – an act seen by many as hypocritical. Protestors in Ireland notably disrupted U2’s performances, carrying signs reading “U2, you pay your tax too” and “Tax justice now.” Source: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/nov/07/tax-bono-harming-world-poorest-glastonbury-avoidance-paradise-papers

Journalist Terry Eagleton said in a Guardian article that “Bono the philanthropist is nothing but a crony of bankers and neocons… he’s unhip because he has no fear of power.” It sure seems like Bono is cozying up to the very people responsible for many global inequalities (e.g., war architects, IMF technocrats), he has lost the moral high ground.

The Gates Foundation Ecosystem Bono's relationship with Bill Gates represents one of the most significant elements of his power network. The partnership, which Gates describes as making them "big partners in crime," extends far beyond simple philanthropic collaboration. Gates said L.A. that he initially resisted meeting Bono but became "amazed that he actually knew what he was talking about and had a real commitment to making things happen". Yes Gates actually said that. Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/randalllane/2013/06/06/bill-gates-and-bono-on-ending-global-poverty/
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The financial integration between Bono's organizations and the Gates Foundation creates a dependency relationship that effectively embeds Bono within one of the world's most influential philanthropic networks. The Gates Foundation's funding of DATA, ONE Campaign, and related initiatives ensures that Bono's operations align with Gates Foundation priorities, which often intersect with U.S. government policy objectives. Hell, it landed him on the cover of Time with Billy and his now ex-wife. His ex-wife I might add, because of his association with sexual deviant Jeffrey Epstein who definitely killed himself in prison. 😉
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Bono's acknowledgment that "I couldn't do anything that I do without the Gates Foundation" reveals the extent of this dependency. This financial relationship effectively positions Bono as an operational arm of the Gates Foundation's global health and development agenda, providing celebrity legitimacy and grassroots mobilization capabilities that complement the Foundation's policy and funding operations.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Beyond Gates, Bono maintains documented relationships with other members of the global billionaire class. His friendship with Warren Buffett, demonstrated through his 2013 serenade performance at the Forbes Summit on Philanthropy, illustrates his integration into elite philanthropic circles. The summit itself, attended by "150 billionaires, near-billionaires, philanthropists and leading social entrepreneurs," represents the kind of exclusive gathering where policy directions are often informally coordinated.

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The relationship with President George W. Bush represents a particularly significant example of Bono's influence capabilities. During a March 2002 White House visit, Bono successfully lobbied Bush to provide financial assistance to developing countries. The following year, Bush signed legislation authorizing the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program. Bush explicitly told Bono that the initiative "never would have made it out of Congress had [Bono] not been engaged," providing direct confirmation of Bono's policy influence.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Bush was quoted as saying to Bono: “The first time I met you, you knew more statistics, like you were coming right out of the CIA.” What an odd thing to say George.🤔 Source: mintpressnews.com/frontman-empir…
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
This level of access and documented policy impact suggests that Bono functions as more than a celebrity advocate, he operates as an informal diplomatic channel with the ability to shape major foreign policy initiatives. The PEPFAR program alone represents a multi-billion dollar commitment that aligns directly with U.S. strategic interests in Africa, including health security, political stability, and regional influence.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
International Government Engagement Bono's international government connections extend far beyond the United States, demonstrating a global network of official relationships. His 2015 visit to Canada included meetings with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and opposition leaders from the Liberal and NDP parties.

One of the most revealing meetings is Bono's 2010 rendezvous with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at the president's Sochi residence. During this encounter, conducted in "an informal setting," Medvedev praised Bono's "social activity" and noted that "caring about people is not only the job of politicians". You know because Russian politicians are so well known for their caring nature. Bono's response emphasized his role as "a student of Russia" and his interest in Russian "leadership on tackling some of the great problems in the world". A messianic complex of I’ve ever seen one.

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Bono’s proximity to elite global power forums like the World Economic Forum in Davos and the Bilderberg Group further reveals his deep entanglement with the architects of modern neoliberalism. At Davos 2019, when confronted by anti-capitalist protesters, Bono flatly declared, “Capitalism is not immoral. It’s amoral. It requires our instruction.” In that same appearance, he praised partnerships with billionaires and multinational corporations as essential to solving global poverty, a claim critics argue serves as moral cover for extractive economic models that reinforce inequality. Bono’s logic mirrors that of the Davos class: wealth is not the problem, only the distribution of responsibility. Moreover, Bono has been a confirmed attendee of Bilderberg meetings, which bring together government officials, central bankers, intelligence-linked technocrats, and select media gatekeepers to conduct policy discussions behind closed doors, with no public accountability whatsoever.

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Have a look at the 2023 participant list to get an idea of who he is running elbows with: https://www.bilderbergmeetings.org/meetings/meeting-2023/participants-2023 His inclusion in these opaque forums illustrates that he is not merely adjacent to global power, he is embedded within its inner sanctums. In this context, Bono’s role becomes clear: not a critic of empire, but one of its most polished emissaries.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Let’s break it down a bit further in case you may still be skeptical. Bono's operational profile exhibits numerous characteristics consistent with intelligence asset recruitment and utilization. His extensive international travel, high-level government access, NGO infrastructure, and corporate networks create an ideal platform for intelligence collection and influence operations. His organizations operate in regions of significant strategic interest to Western intelligence services, including Africa, where competition with China and Russia for influence has intensified in recent decades. The health and development focus of his work provides natural cover for operations in countries where traditional diplomatic or commercial presence might be limited or scrutinized. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a primary funder, maintains extensive relationships with government agencies and has been criticized for its influence on global health policy. George Soros, another documented funder, operates Open Society Foundations with acknowledged connections to U.S. foreign policy objectives.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The corporate partnership model developed through (RED) creates additional potential channels for intelligence service involvement. Major corporations like Apple, Microsoft, and American Express maintain extensive relationships with intelligence agencies through various programs and partnerships. The integration of these corporations into Bono's influence network could facilitate intelligence service access to his operations and platforms. His celebrity status provides natural cover for such interactions, making them appear routine rather than operationally significant.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
To top it all off, the January 2025 announcement that Bono would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Biden represents the highest level of U.S. government recognition for his activities. The medal, awarded to individuals who have made "exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors," explicitly acknowledges Bono's contribution to U.S. security interests.

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Final Thoughts The use of celebrities in covert influence campaigns is nothing new. From the OSS’s wartime collaborations with Hollywood to Cold War psy-ops masked as pop culture, the entertainment industry has long doubled as a delivery mechanism for state-sanctioned narratives. Celebrities provide what spies covet: reach, trust, and cover. Their movements are rarely questioned; their messaging, often absorbed uncritically. So when a rock star becomes a globe-trotting humanitarian with open-door access to presidents, tech titans, and war zones, the question isn’t whether it’s admirable but whether it’s engineered. Because in the long history of soft power, celebrity is not just a spotlight. It’s a tool. In the end, the man who preached justice from tax havens and courted tyrants in the name of charity wasn’t changing the world, he was selling it.

🧵 The truth about USAID and their number one contractor Chemonics International
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Chemonics International is one of the biggest U.S. government contractors in “global development” raking in billions from USAID. But behind the glossy reports are fraud allegations, mismanagement, and ties to shady dealings.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
What is Chemonics? A Washington, D.C.-based development firm operating in 100+ countries. Its focus? Health, agriculture, governance, economic development. But its real business? Winning USAID contracts. In 2019 alone, it received $1.5 billion in USAID funding aka taxpayer’s money. https://chemonics.com

@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The story of USAID and Chemonics is not just about waste or mismanagement, it’s about a systemic racket that funnels billions of taxpayer dollars into private pockets under the guise of “foreign aid.” Haiti’s post-earthquake reconstruction laid bare the entire playbook of disaster capitalism: •USAID awarded Chemonics multi-billion-dollar contracts, despite a track record of failures, delays, and outright fraud. •Less than 1% of USAID funds went to Haitian-led organizations, while Chemonics and other Beltway contractors kept the lion’s share. •From rigged elections to botched aid distribution, USAID and its contractors shaped Haiti’s reconstruction in a way that benefited foreign elites while leaving Haitians in deeper crisis. The Clintons have played a major role in this racket worldwide. And this isn’t just Haiti. From Afghanistan to Ukraine, the USAID-Chemonics machine operates the same way, exploiting crises to justify endless contracts while delivering little to nothing. The U.S. foreign aid system isn’t about “helping”, it’s about maintaining control, dependency, and corporate profit. The next time a disaster strikes and some USG agencies is tasked with swooping in with billions, ask where that money is really going—because history tells us it’s not going to the people who need it most. Your tax dollars at work.

IRD routinely hired individuals who previously worked for USAID, including former acting administrator Alonzo Fulgham. By 2014, at least 19 former USAID employees had joined IRD, some of whom were previously responsible for overseeing the organization. “Former USAID employees are not supposed to take part in programs in which they had responsibilities at the agency, and IRD said, like other contractors say, that these former staffers were hired for their “expertise,” not their “connections,” but that’s pretty hard to imagine, especially when some of those going through the revolving door were high-level USAID administrators.”

In Afghanistan, IRD’s involvement wasn’t any cleaner. One agricultural program started as a $60 million initiative to boost wheat production and morphed within three years into a $470 million project its impact on stability as murky as the program’s financial trails. “The cooperative agreement was broadened at the urging of the military and Richard C. Holbrooke, the then-special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan. It was transformed from one that funded a program that helped farmers grow wheat into one that bought farm tools and paid numerous laborers for a series of small jobs, including the clearing of canals, to help stabilize the southern Helmand and Kandahar provinces of Afghanistan.” USAID news releases lauded the program as an alternative to food handouts and said it was stabilizing those provinces in Afghanistan. But auditors criticized the project, and Eikenberry said it spent too much money and had questionable impact. “Once the decision was made, we threw efficiency out the window,” he recalled. “Some of the districts were awash in cash. The projects were not properly scaled, and they were overly ambitious.” Sources: https://archive.is/757Zb https://2012-2017.usaid.gov/node/50906

More than 125 people were killed and 250 others were wounded in insurgent attacks aimed at derailing the project, USAID said. The agency shut down the road-building effort in December.” Source: https://archive.is/FokRX

One can’t help but see IRD as a microcosm of a larger problem: the transformation of humanitarian endeavors into sprawling bureaucratic projects where accountability is elusive and self-interest often trumps the public good. A 2024 congressional research service report states: “Of the $181.5 billion in foreign assistance obligations for projects by USAID from FY2013 to 2022, NGOs implemented $109.8 billion (60%).” So over a period of 9 years your taxes were used to enrich “non-profit’s” most of which are in your country. All with abysmal oversight with rampant fraud and abuse. Let me repeat that: $181.5 billion in 9 years. Just take a moment and think about how that money could have been spent to help fix the immense problems this country faces instead of being given to an Aid-Industrial-Complex used for statecraft and personal enrichment.

Thread 🧵 Un-Informed Consent: The Story of Polyheme Every once in a while you come across a true story that that leaves you dumbfounded and disturbed, revealing a glimpse of actual evil, not some abstract concept you read about in a book. This is one of those stories.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
In the 1980s, Illinois company Northfield Laboratories began developing PolyHeme - an artificial blood substitute that promised to revolutionize battlefield medicine What followed was one of the most shocking medical ethics violations in modern history, where hundreds of Americans became test subjects without their knowledge or consent.
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
PolyHeme was the Pentagon's dream: a shelf-stable, universal blood substitute that could save soldiers' lives in combat zones where real blood wasn't available. The Department of Defense was so interested they provided funding to support its development, viewing it as a strategic military asset. The 1992 Report of the Pentagons commitment to investing in artificial blood: https://www.onr.navy.mil/media/document/1992rptartificialbloodpdf
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
But early trials revealed alarming dangers. In a 1998-2000 study of heart surgery patients, 10 out of 81 people who received PolyHeme suffered heart attacks, and 2 died within a week. The control group given real blood had ZERO such complications. “It halted that study and has not published the full results, but Northfield Chairman Steven Gould said PolyHeme didn't cause the heart attacks or disproportionately more deaths. He said the study was stopped because enrollment was declining and the company wanted to focus on trauma research.” Source: https://www.deseret.com/2006/3/7/19941986/2-hospitals-stop-synthetic-blood-test/#:~:text=Testing%20was%20halted%20Feb,given%20real%20blood%20did%20not
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Here's where it gets sinister: Northfield "quietly" halted the trial and chose NOT to publish the full results. Internal FDA memos called the cardiac outcomes "alarming," yet regulators - mindful of Pentagon interests - allowed development to continue. To test PolyHeme on trauma patients, Northfield exploited a little-known FDA loophole: the Exception from Informed Consent (EFIC) rule. This regulation allows research on unconscious patients in emergencies WITHOUT their consent - essentially suspending a core tenet of medical ethics. Here is a link to the Code of Federal Regulations EFIC rule: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-50/subpart-B/section-50.24
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The EFIC loophole worked like this: Northfield held token public meetings (with predictably low turnout), distributed opt-out bracelets, then assumed EVERYONE ELSE consented to be a test subject. As Senator Charles Grassley put it, this made "every citizen a potential guinea pig." From 2004-2006, the no-consent trial rolled out across 27 cities and 23 hospitals. Major sites included San Diego, Denver, Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City, and others. ANY adult trauma patient in these areas could be enrolled without knowing it in advance. Source: https://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=2166058&page=1&utm_
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Here's how it worked: Paramedics carried coolers of PolyHeme alongside standard IV fluids. For severely injured patients, they'd open a sealed envelope at random. "PolyHeme" meant immediate infusion of the experimental substitute. "Saline" meant standard protocol. Source: https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/waiver-consent-medical-procedure-research/2007-02?utm
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The most disturbing part? Even at hospitals, PolyHeme patients continued receiving the artificial blood for up to 12 hours before getting real blood. This meant deliberately withholding proven therapy from injured people without their consent. Northfield's own admission was telling: despite claiming "extensive community outreach," they acknowledged that "a vast majority of the general public has never heard of the trial." Only a small number of residents obtained opt-out bracelets. Everything changed on February 22, 2006, when The Wall Street Journal published "Amid Alarm Bells, a Blood Substitute Keeps Pumping" - exposing the hidden heart attack data from the earlier trial. The medical ethics community erupted in outrage. Source: https://archive.is/bawnl
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Within days of the WSJ exposé, Utah hospitals suspended their participation. CBS News ran "Ethicists Blast Synthetic Blood Test." Senator Grassley fired off a scathing letter to the FDA calling the situation "outrageous" and "disturbing." Source: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ethicists-blast-synthetic-blood-test/
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Grassley's letter captured the absurdity perfectly: "No reasonable person would expect to be treated as an experimental subject without consent," yet the FDA had created a system where Americans had to wear "I decline the PolyHeme" wristbands to avoid involuntary enrollment. Full Letter: https://www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news/grassley-questions-fdas-sanction-of-blood-substitute-study-without-patient-consent?utm_
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
Throughout the controversy, Northfield CEO Dr. Steven Gould doubled down, insisting there was "no attempt at secrecy" and that PolyHeme "didn't cause the heart attacks." The profit motive was clear: after 20 years and $100+ million with no approved products, the company's survival depended on PolyHeme's success. When trial results came in December 2006, they were devastating. The Chicago Tribune headline said it all: "Blood substitute 'a disaster' in trial." 46 of 349 PolyHeme patients died (13.2%) vs. 35 of 363 control patients (9.6%) - 11 MORE deaths in the experimental group. Source: https://archive.is/M9lGX
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The data showed PolyHeme provided NO survival benefit, didn't significantly reduce blood usage, and was associated with more medical complications including heart attacks. Hundreds of people had been exposed to an experimental product without consent - for nothing.

Northfield's stock plummeted 70%. Shareholders sued for securities fraud. A 2008 meta-analysis in JAMA found hemoglobin-based blood substitutes showed increased mortality and heart attacks across the board. The Pentagon's miracle cure was actually a killer. Source: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/181940
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
In April 2009, the FDA definitively rejected PolyHeme, stating "risks of the product outweigh its benefits." Northfield shut down shortly after, having spent 20 years and $200 million with nothing but a notorious failed trial to show for it. Source: https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/fda-rejects-northfield-s-blood-substitute?utm
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
The Pentagon's involvement raises disturbing questions about how military priorities influenced civilian medical research. Defense officials were eager to see if PolyHeme could keep soldiers alive, and this urgency arguably permeated the trial's approval process. The FDA tightened EFIC guidance after 2006, but the loophole remains. Some analysts call for revisiting these regulations entirely, worried that the PolyHeme trial exploited loopholes in ways regulators never envisioned. This scandal exemplifies what bioethicist Dr. Robert Nelson noted: "just because you can do research without consent doesn't always mean you should." The Exception from Informed Consent rule was meant for genuine emergencies, not corporate profit schemes. This is a great overview with extensive references of you’d like to a deep academic dive into this story: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2322929/#b19-mjm11_1p59
@JoshWalkos - Champagne Joshi
In closing, the PolyHeme trials were evil because they knowingly exposed unwitting American citizens to a dangerous experimental blood substitute without their informed consent, exploiting a legal loophole (EFIC) to bypass ethics. Northfield Laboratories and the FDA withheld critical safety data, including deaths and heart attacks from earlier trials, and then deliberately delayed real blood transfusions in trauma patients to preserve the integrity of their study. The result? More people died in the experimental group—and no one was held accountable. It was a grotesque fusion of corporate greed, government complicity, and medical betrayal. This story matters because it shows how easily our rights can be suspended in the name of "innovation" and "national security." Sound familiar? COVID anyone? The bottom line is that when corporations and government agencies collaborate to bypass informed consent, ordinary citizens pay the price and that price is evil.

Social balkanization is the process by which a population is deliberately or organically fragmented into hostile, insular subgroups that no longer share a common narrative, culture, or sense of national identity. It’s not just division, it’s strategic division, where the fractures are deepened along lines of race, class, ideology, religion, gender, or even conspiracy belief systems until cohesion becomes impossible and conflict becomes inevitable. A population so fractured it can’t organize, can’t resist, and can’t agree on anything long enough to demand accountability. Ironically, the term “balkanization” comes from actual Balkan geopolitics, where Western powers repeatedly fractured Yugoslavia, backing different factions like the Croats, Bosniaks and Kosovars to suit NATO’s aims. Today, the battlefield is digital, so how much of our online tribal warfare is truly grassroots, and how much is the algorithmic engineering of domestic balkanization, designed to keep us too divided to unite against those in power?

The Biden administration awarded the Stacy Abrams linked non-profit “Power Forward Communities” a $2 billion grant in April 2024 via the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, despite the coalition reporting only $100 in revenue during its first three months of operation. PFC launched in October 2023 as a coalition of nonprofits, including Rewiring America (a climate advocacy group), the AFL-CIO, and United Way. Stacey Abrams’ involvement stemmed from her position as senior counsel at Rewiring America, framing it as a “tool for equity”. The EPA allocated $20 billion to eight groups via Citibank, bypassing direct federal oversight. PFC was given 21 days to distribute funds and 90 days for budget training requirements. This was undoubtedly a democrat slush fund and yet more fraud, waste and abuse at the expense of taxpayers. Just like everything else connected to “climate change”, DEI, or any other ideologically motivated policy.

USAID Created a Fake Cuban Twitter In 2014 Associated Press revealed that the U.S. government had secretly created “Cuban Twitter” called ZunZuneo to stir unrest and undermine the Cuban government. The project ran from 2010-2012 and was funded by none-other than USAID. It aimed to build a mass following among Cuban youth, initially providing innocuous content such as sports scores and entertainment news. Once the platform had gained enough traction, U.S. operatives planned to introduce political content designed to provoke anti-government sentiment and, ultimately, fuel protests. Front companies were established abroad, shell corporations were used for financial transactions, and fake executives were put in place to create the illusion of a legitimate business. The AP investigation revealed that USAID and its contractors went to great lengths to conceal their involvement, fearing Cuban authorities would crack down if they discovered the true purpose. However, ZunZuneo abruptly shut down in 2012 when funding dried up, leaving thousands of users unaware they had been part of a U.S. regime-change experiment. This is what they mean by “international development”, plotting coups around the world under the guise of being charitable.

A Major Healthcare Hack, a Major DOJ Investigation and the Assassination of the Man at the Center of it. Some thoughts on current events. In February a major healthcare hack exposed the personal and medical data of over 100 million individuals and sent shockwaves through the industry. UnitedHealthcare, as one of the largest players, was at the center of this crisis. The timing of the hack—just as the DOJ intensified its antitrust scrutiny of UnitedHealthcare—raises the possibility of a coordinated campaign targeting the healthcare system’s perceived inefficiencies and corporate greed. If sensitive internal communications or financial data related to Brian Thompson or his company were among the stolen files, the hack could have intensified existing tensions, making Thompson a high-value target. The DOJ investigation into UnitedHealthcare’s alleged antitrust violations and insider trading already placed significant pressure on Thompson and his company. The lawsuit alleging insider trading against Thompson, particularly regarding his $15.1 million stock sale, added fuel to a growing fire of public and regulatory scrutiny. This investigation posed existential risks not just to Thompson personally but to the corporation’s broader operations. Thompson’s murder could be interpreted as an effort to disrupt the investigation or eliminate a key figure who might have possessed damaging information. If powerful stakeholders—either within UnitedHealthcare or in adjacent industries—feared the fallout from Thompson’s potential testimony or cooperation with authorities, eliminating him could serve as a preemptive strike to protect their interests. The manifesto found with Luigi Mangione, Thompson’s alleged assassin, adds an ideological dimension to this theory. As the story goes, Mangione reportedly criticized the healthcare system’s failures, and his personal struggles with health issues might have driven him to retaliate violently. If the hack and the murder were ideologically motivated, they could represent parallel and or coordinated actions to either expose systemic corruption or it could be to cover it up. Yes the murder of Thompson could be the result of a troubled lone wolf assassin who comes from a wealthy family, went to an Ivy League school and had a back injury that drove him to murder a man. A similar profile we have been told about every other high profile assassination in recent memory. Having one person responsible certainly makes it easier to close the case and move on doesn’t it? Every single time. However ignoring the hack and the ongoing DOJ investigation that just so happened to have the victim that was assassinated in broad daylight at the center of it, is the height of willful ignorance in my opinion. It is truly amazing how quickly the public, despite being historically lied to incessantly, will blindly accept everything said from the same sources that have been the perpetrator of those lies. We have learned exactly nothing from the past and that permits the corruption to continue unabated. Anyone who questions the official narrative is immediately dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist” despite those so called “conspiracy theorists” being vindicated over and over again. It is an accusatory trope that is leveled by officials and in the media and dutifully repeated by the masses. I posted a photo along with 5 words questioning the images provided by the authorities of the alleged assassin and it went mega viral. Obviously I could not have known that it would spread like wildfire but as a result I have received several ominous anonymous threats. It clearly hit a nerve on multiple levels and tapped into something bubbling underneath the surface of our society. Many people are questioning the narrative and should continue to do so because I believe this story is much bigger than is being reported.

The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis A 1987 Special Report by Bill Moyers After much searching I finally located this mini-documentary about the history of Iran-Contra which is one of the biggest and most revealing scandals in American history. In many ways we are still dealing with the “secret government” mentioned throughout the program. It has only grown and become more blatant in its attempts to undermine the constitution for personal gain. If you are unfamiliar with this history this is a great primer because in includes footage from the Iran-Contra Hearings and interviews with knowledgeable individuals. You will be left with a solid understanding. Even if you are familiar, it is a great refresher to help put into context the source of a lot of the modern problems we face today. I honestly cannot believe this was aired on television in 1987. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

The History of the CIA: Mafia Allies and the Beginning of the Global Drug Connection Did you know that on February 9, 1942, the S.S. Normandie, recently renamed the U.S.S. Lafayette, was set on fire in New York Harbor by mafia connected dock workers who then blamed it on Germany? The Office of Naval Intelligence was embarrassed by this perceived security lapse so they approached the mob and asked them to protect the docks moving forward to ensure something like the S.S. Normandie “attack” didn’t happen again. This deal gave birth to Operation Underworld and the thus started the close relationship between the US Security State and the mob, guaranteeing that Luciano and the mob would have complete control and flow of narcotics from Europe and Cuba into the US. The drug money was then deposited into the coffers of “The General Development Corporation” a shell company created and owned by then OSS Official Paul Helliwell and mob boss Meyer Lansky. The money was then sent to the Sicilian mob in Italy by then run by Luciano who had reorganized it and would facilitate the distribution of the funds to the underground Gladio networks (secret stay behind armies) throughout Europe post WWII. These Gladio networks would go on to perpetuate false flag terrorist attacks all over Europe to be blamed on left wing groups and communists. This is all justified under the pretense of “stopping the spread of communism” in Europe. However, hundreds of innocent people were killed in these attacks with weapons that were obtained via the funds funneled to them from the drug trade, facilitated by the mob, the OSS/CIA, NATO and Vatican connected operatives. This also created a worldwide heroin addiction problem that still reverberates across the world today.
